f. A MANNER. City CIrrk.
by 4 Big Majority.

In Congress last Monday 10 pm;
the w ilSon bill providing for the un-
conditional repeal of the purchasing
clause of the sO-called Sherman silver
bill was passed by the very positive
vote of ayes 30 votes 100, majority
for repeal, l3l This Expressed at
titude of Congress was not geneTelly
expected, many even thinking it 4
all. This cry against silver whether
just or unjust we are not prepared to
say, is SO emphatic that for the time
being the silver interests of the cOun-
try are very dead indeed.
What action the senate Will take is
not yet defined, but when the vote was
reported and the bill passed on to the
Senate, that body through Senator
VOORHEES,, of Indiana, the democratic
chairman of the finance committee,
reported it back to the house with an
substitute, 50 that our Democratic
Senators may yet defeat the work OF
the house, or at least prolong the
agony and further deprcss the business
interests of the country. rs we have
said before, we do not believe that the
silver has much if anything to do with
our hard times, yet if the MASSES and
a respectable portion Of our BUSINESS
institutions think differently and want
the law So repealed, the senate should
not lose an hour III adding lis verdict

E;eCu Numm!fed.
In the early part Of 1850 a cargo of
cats arrived in England from Egypt,
having been shipped by a merchant in
Alexandria to a merchant in Liverpool.
This cargo consisted Of tyenty-one
tons OF eats, being the remains OF $780,
600 Of the sacred Egyptian cats, every
one of which al the time OF its deccasc
had been deemed worthy Cf special
embalmmcnt into mummy and honor

of the ancient cities in that country.
These mumm;fed cats are supposed
10 have lived some thousands Of years
before Christ, and to have been buried
for close upon 1000 years in the cat
cemetery at Beni-Hassan.
They were accidentally discovered by
feilah husbandman in 1856 by the
ground on which he was working fall
ing in and disclosing an immense sub
terranean cave, in which they were
found. This cave was teHanted 10y un-
told lcgions of cats all seaulously en-
balmed and swadJlcd in cloth cere-
mcntS.
A second consignment weighed nine
tons. There was a brisk competition
when the cargo was sold by auction.
Heads brought as much as shillings 6
pence each; body without head shil-
lings pence, while the bulk averaged
60 It's. Cd. per ton.

st. Paul News: The production Of
gold last year was over $3.50, 900, coo,
but $4O,000,00O of it went into the in
duStrial arts. The Industrial use Of
gold increases relatively much faster
than that Of silver. There is enough
gold in peoples mouths alone to more
then pay the national debt Vast
quantities are annually buried in the
cemeteries. This is one reason why
gold retains its relative market value
better then silver does.

Unfortunately the period after the

vessels for the comfort of ocean travel.

The Marine Exhibit.
In no previous marine exhibit has
the question of transportation on water
ever been treated as subject, but in
this department is shown not only the
triumphs of naval architecture, as IL

and curious craft from semi-civlllzed
and barbarous tribes, showing how
they solved problems of transportation

produce ALSO million litres Of beer
yearly, litre being equal to about
Ii pints. England comes next with
1854 breweries and an output of

States with 2, 300 breweries and $500
million litres; Austria with 1892
