There is no doubt that ultimate ly a very large percentage of the cotton crop of this country will be manufactured in the South. To a greater extent than ever before the South is attracting the attention of those interested in the manufacture of cotton goods. The Nicaragua canal also is likely to still further increase the attractions of the South as the place for cotton mills. The canal will be built in all probabili- ty, and the South will be nearer than any other cotton manufactur- ing country to China, Japan and India, the great markets of the world for cotton goods-Savanah News.

The Americans, and especially those who live in large cities, are developing probably the finest type of womanhood that has existed, at least since the days of the Greeks. This development has been rather slow, so gradual that those who live here have hardly perceived it, but it is recognized by the abler physicians, and it is certainly re- cognized by cultivated foreigners who have visited this country in recent years.-Dr. Edward Quin tard, in Philadelphia Press.

The total tonnage launched in Great Britain in 1892 was 300, ,142 tons; about the same as in 1891 and 1890, but, 46,OOO tons below 1889.

As to material, 98 per cent of the ship ping built was of steel. There was a decrease in the proportion of ton- mage built for foreign orders, which has been falling off for several years.

A natural clement by which tie

A natural clement by which tie city of Boise, Idaho, derives a great benefit, is a great volume of hot water that gushes out of several deep artesian wells. The water pos sesses no medicinal value, but a six-inch pipe has been laid from the springs into the city, and hot water will be conducted into nearly every residence and business house in the city. The cost of heating with hot water is estimated to be fifty per cent less than coal.-New York Sun.

New York on April 27, Great Britain.
the nation whose proudest boast is that
she is mistress of the seas, proposes to
take a leading part, and will send over
fleet of her smartest ships to make a fine
showing. Of all the foreign visitors,
Great Britain will have the largest and
most formidable fleet
Under the command of Vice Admiral
Sir j. o. Hopkins, K. G.. B., will be
fleet of eight warships, as follows: The
first class cruiser Blake, Capt. W.. V.

The vice-admiraps flagship, the Blake,
is crack cruiser of the royal navy, and
was at the time of her trials, about
year ago, the fastest ship of her class in
the world. She is on her first cruise,
and is being sent over to this country to
show Uncle Sam, whose growing navy is
causing the English admiralty much
anxiety, what English shipbuiiders can
do.
The Blake is fine vessel, and the
thousands of Americans who will see
her in the parade will admire her for her
graceful lines, the beauty of her taper
ing masts and spars, her formidable bat
terry, and her great speed. The ship is
already on this side of the Atlantic, hav-
ing arrived at Halifax, England's chief
naval depot in North America, on May
26 last. She came from Portsmouth, and
her departure from that port for Amer
lea was made the occasion for elaborate
public ceremonies.
The ship was designed to excel in pro
lection, speed and radius of action any
warship previously constructed and her
builders claim that this has been accom-
plished. She was launched from the
government dockyard at Chatham in
November, 1889, and was first placed in
commission about a wear ago. The cost

SNAP SHOTS AT REPEATERs.
st. Louis Republicans Use the Camera
Against Election FIoaters.

ST. LOUIS, April 10-The Republicans
in the last election introduced new ele-
ment into politics, which in it's way is
unique, but certainly very effective. The
art preservative, in the shape of snap
shot camera for taking the pictures of re-
peaters repeating, was applied in most
successful manner.
The Republican city committee has
now in process of development the pic
lures of repeaters, which will certainly
make trouble for some of them. There
are about three dozen pictures in all, but
how many of them will turn out we'll is
not certainly known. The plan of oper-
alton was simple in its details, and it is
surprising that it was not tried before
this. Most of the professional repeaters
are more or less known to both sides, and
as soon as one Of them turned up at the
polls he was Instantly spotted by the man
with the camera and his assistant. The
button was pressed and a record taken of
the name he voted, the time of day he
did it, and some remark or objection
made, so that the mans identity and
vote would be more or less impressed
upon the judges.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILROADS.
Interstate Commerce Committee May De
Considerable Investigating.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-In the Senate
today Mr.. Butler reported from the COM
mittee on interstate commerce resolu-
tion authorizing the committee to inquire
whether the methods prevailing in the
transportation of freight and passengers
on the great railway lines of the country
and the conditions and necessities of
travellers and shippers and transporta-
tion companies justify or require the
repeal or modification of section 5 of the
interstate commerce act, which prohibits
pooling under any circumstances; and
also to inquire whether the system of
closing and sealing the cars engaged in
transporting merchandise from one state
to another through foreign territory and
from such foreign territory into
the United Stated needs to
be modified, whether all rail
roads engaged in srrch traffic
should be either required to conform to
all the conditions of the interstate COM
merce act or be prohibited from eoniinu-f
ing in such transportation, and whether
any notifications should be made in the
law concerning the relations between
common carriers and their employees.

BosToN's PROBLEM.
A. A. strout Opposed One of the Rapid
Transit Commissions Plans.

Boston, April 10.-The committee on
rapid transit gave hearing this morn
ing,to A. A. Strout, counsel for the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad, on that part of
the railroad commissioners report that
relates to the union station in the
northern part of the city.
MI Strout criticised the report, and
said that if the legislature compelled the
railroad corporations to erect a union
station, the money which the Boston &
Maine Company had expended in erect
ing the new station which is now in pro-
gress, would be thrown away.
s'To compel the various railroad com
panies to build a union station there,
would mean abandonment of all their
present railroad locations, which are
very valuable, and would set back the
roads to such an extent that it would be
years before they would again be on a
baying basis"

THE WILD DANCE OF THE FLAMES.
How the Forest Fires Rushed Across the
Buckeye State.

CHILLIcoTHE, Ohio, April 10.-The
terrible high winds that prevailed Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday famed the
flames of very destructive fires Ithrough-
out the hill lands of Ross, Highland,
Pike and Athens counties. No rains of
any consequence had fallen for the past
month. and the decayed leaves and vege-
tables, like a prepared tinder box, need
ed only a start. Thursday the fire
started in different places, and the
strong wind gave it good headway,
making it impossible to circle it with
plows, or confne it in any manner. The
wind calmed at night, which left the
fires to creep slowly along or finish what
had been gone over so rapidly. The
red lines of fires stretching across the
hills for miles with the burning of the
dead standing trees lighted the whole
country. Friday the wind blew more
fiercely than before, and what had been
left or protected in the timber lands was
enveloped in great sheets of flame, with
tongues hundred feet high, jumping
the water ravines, chasing each other up
the sides of the precipitous hills as rap
idly as the fierce gales would carry them,
and Friday night the sight was fearful.
The gale had expended itself by. Satur-
day night, when the grateful rain prayed
for by the suffering fell, quenching the
flames and clearing the air.

CLEVELAND sNuBBED sHEEHAN
And the Tiger Growls Out that 1t Served
Sheehan Right.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Lieut. Govern
or Sheehan's call at the White House
Saturday and his curt reception by Mr..
Cleveland, have formed an interesting
topic of conversation among Democratic
politicians. Men close to Senator Hill
were empt >+ic in declaring that Mr.
Sheehan had committed serious blund-
der in going near the President in quest
of patronage. This fact was developed
yesterday. Mr. Sheehan did have an ap-
pointment with Mr.. Cleveland for Satur
day, so his call at the Executive Man
sion could not have been unexpected.
| The appointment was made by Senator
Murphy on Thursday.
When Mr.. Sheehan arrived at the
White House by appointment, the Presi-
dent gave him just six minutes of his
valuable time. 1t was as much of an af-
front as it would have been had the
President refused to receive him at all.
The pretext Mr.. Cleveland offered
Sheehan for not granting him a longer
interview on Saturday, that he had an
engagement to spend Sunday with Am
bassador Bayard, nigh have been accept
ed if the Lieutenant Governor had
dropped in informally to talk things over
and not by appointment
| ''It served Sheehan right" said prom
inent machine Democrat last night. 'He
should have known better than to go
near Mr.. Cleveland without being sent
| for. His call was most ill-advised and
inopportune. 1t was certainly against
Hills advice and was contrary to the
programme of independence which Hill,
Croker and Murphy and the machine
leaders had cut out for themselves.
'sMr. Cleveland cannot get control of
the state machine if he fills all the feder-
al Offices in this state with anti-snappers
and mugwumps. Hill and his friends
realize that, hence their indifference to
what Mr.. Cleveland may do.''

KEY WEST, Fla, April 10.-It was
learned yesterday that the expedition to
Cuba, led by party of revolutionists, is
all prepared to leave this county, and
that the start may be made at any hour.
For week or more the movements OF
those who have been engaged in getting
up the expedition have been most care
fully guarded. The leaders have kept
themselves concealed, and the men in the
ranks, who number between 400 and 500,
have been under cover-so much SO that
corps of special officers has been COM
pletely baff1ed in keeping track of some
of thoses whose sentiments are well
known.
Enough came to the surface today,
however, to warrant double precautions
on the part of the Federal authorities.
The cutter McLane has been ordered
under steam ready to start at any minute,
and all hands have been summond on
board.
Since the news of the extra precautions
got abroad the excitement of week ago
sinks into insignifcance. The town is
all astir, and nothing is talked about
save the warlike movement which, to all
appearances, has been going on about
here for weeks in the stealthiest manner
possible.
The government officials are, however,
on the alert, and nota move on the part
of any suspected person goes unnoted.
With all this the opinion prevails that
the party may steal march upon the
Federal authorities. 1t is known that
some sort of communication has been
kept up between New York and the
leaders in the South. and that word has
been passed to representatives in Phila-
delphia also.
knowing that so many Americans side
with the revolutionists, it is advanced
that the expedition may have head
quarters miles away. where the McLane
could not offer any resistance.
Saturday the force of custom house
officers was increased and patrol along
the beach established. This was kept
up until daylight this morning. The
party on shore and the officers of the
McLane were kept in communication by
means of code of daylight and night
signals. These night signals were OBJ
served flashing back and forth, estab-
fishing the belief that important mes
sages were being transmitted.
When the schooner John Crosby ar
rived Saturday much excitement was
caused by the rumor that she had aboard
quantity of dynamite. The boat came
from New York and the explosive, it
was said, is consigned to Cuban mer-
chant here. Report has it that $50 cases
of dynamite were found in her hold and
that it was ultimately intended for the
revolutionists.

Tried to Murder the Cardinal.

VIENNA, April 10.-Great excitement
has been caused by an attempt to assas-
sinate Cardinal Vaszary, primate OF Hun
gary. The cardinal was walking with
his secretary, when well dressed young
man rushed upon him and made a des-
perate attempt to stab him with a kni e.
The cardinal stepped to one side, evad-
ing the blows of the assassin, while the
secretary received two severe stabs at
the hands of the assailant The would
be murderer was arrested, but refused to
give any information as to his motive or
identity. Cardinal Vaszary was unhurt
There seems to be no doubt that the at
tempt to murder the cardinal was
prompted by the intense struggle now
going on in Hungary in relation to civil
marriage and the baptism of children OF
mixed marriages, in which the cardinal
is looked upon as the leader of the ecc,e-
siastical party.

SAINT JOHN, N. D.,
December 15, 1882.
GENTLEMEN:
Our daughter, twelve years old,
has always been sick Eom weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was a
few mouthfuls of graham bread OF
meal. Last summer we lost all
hope, for we were afraid of her
dying of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk to the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least weariness; her appetite is
such, she relishes anything hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time in her life she knows
what health is.
The mother says, For twenty-five
years 1 have had severe sick head
aches. Nothing ever eased them
until / used
