CONGRESS-.
An Extra Session Called For.
Friday, August 7.

President Cleveland issued his pro-
clamation on Friday calling an extra
session of Congress to convene
at IL m. August 7. The finan-
cial ENHANCEMENT is the only
question mentioned for the consider
ation.of this extra session of the Fifty
third Congress. The text Of the proc
lamation is as follows:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
d. c., June 80, 1S93.-Whereas, the
distrust and apprehension concerning
the financial situation which pervade
all business circles have already caus-
ed great loss and damage to our peo-
pie and threaten to cripple our mer-
chants, stop the wheels of manufac-
ture, bring distress and privation to
our farmers and withhold from our
workingmen the wage of labor; and
Whereas, The present perilous con-
dition is largely the result of a finan-
cial policy which the Executive
branch of the Government finds en-
bodied in unwise laws which must be
executed until repealed by Congress I;
Now, therefore, l, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, in per-
formance of constitutional duty, do
by this proclamation, declare that an
extraordinary occasion requires the
convening of both Houses of the Con-
gress of the United States. at the Cap
itol, i'll the city of Washington, on the
7th day Of August next, at II o'clock
noon, to the end that the people may
be relieved through legislation from
present and impending danger and
distress. All those entitled to act as
members of the Fifty-third Congress
are required to take notice of this
proclamation and attend at the time
and place above stated.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the United States, at the city of
Washington, on the 3Oth day of June,
in the year Of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and ninety-three, and
of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and seven
teenth.

CONSOLIDATED
GAS AND ELECTRICITY.
....... .. .E
The Two Companies Have
Agreed on a Basis and There
Will be no Competition
After the 15 Instant.
GAS AND ELECTRICITY.

For some time past a consolidation
of these two companies has been in
the wind, but nothing definite could
be gotten from the parties interested.
On Thursday the stockholders and at
torneys of the two companies met in
the law office of Tyler & Apperson
and in the afternoon it was given out
that consolidation had been made to
take effect July Is. Some say this
means higher prices. We do not
believe it. The same force that runs
one will be able to run both and they
can now afford to contract at less
rate than heretofore There is no rea-
son why Mt. Sterling should not
under this arrangement be lighted at
as low rate as any city.
Should this company attempt a
higher rate, the city, we are informed
will take care of itself by putting in a
plant or their own. This we hope
will not be necessary. If the people
want an electric railway from here to
Sharpsburg, the company will prepare
to furnish the power. Both Sharps-
burg and Mt. Sterling should give this
matter consideration, and if they
think it would be a paying investment
bring it before capitalists. Would il
not lie wise for the City Council to
appoint committee to act with a
committee from Sbarpsburg and if it
would be a profitable investment,
bring the matter to the notice OF
mOneyed men.

During the past seven days through
out the United States there were 334
business failures. For the quarter
ending Friday night there were 3,119
failures, against 2,119 for the same
period of 1892. For the first six
months of 1898 there 6,4O1 crashes as
compared with 5,5O3 the correspond
ing time last year. Bradstreet's re-
view give the liabilities so far this
year to be SI7O,00O,OOO, while the in
crease of liabilities over the first half
of last year is figured to be $114,0OO,-
600, just $8,0O0,OO0 more than Dun &
Co.'S reckoning
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-07-04

The weekly review of trade of Dun
& Co. says: "Throughout the country,
while collections are slow and failures
numerous, the condition of legitimate
business is regarded as healthy, and
hopes are entertained that the worst
has passed. The hopes are based
mainly on the belief that the silver
law will be repealed and that the cer-
tinty of its repeal will encourage
foreign investments here"

SOMETHING NEW IN GEORGIA.

Some of the strong-minded members
OF the Woman's Christian Temper
Ance Union have started a movement for
"A petition to 90 before the next legisla-
ture asking that body for an amendment
60 the constitution of Georgia which Will
give the women of this state equal
sights before the law and full and equal
suffrage with men"
This movement on the part OF the Wo'
suaem Of that organization IS unbecoming
and ridiculous, and shoul i meeta hearty
condemnation by the press and by the
people generally.
When that good institution, which was
organized to restore fallen humanity and
az a guardian for the safety of the rising
generation. drifts into the politics OF to.
qfay. then the purity and usefu ness OF
dhe institution is destroyed and the OBJ
5eet of it's mission will sink into corrup-
diOn
Lei the ladies of the union continue
the work of temperance in peace and
harmony instead of turning their good
deeds and future intentions into whirl-
G0sl of trouble and political corruption.

direction of specialists of high grade.
The social training will have due at
tention, and the aim will be to develop
the highest type of refined AMI cultured

The FOUNDATION is the important
thing; and the greatest success in music
or art demands the earliest possible be-
ginning under the most competent of
teachers.
In the boarding department special
apartments will be provi led for young
Children, who will have the most careful
supervision and training.
While there will be very young chill
dren in the Primary Department, there
will be on the other hand postgraduate
students in literature, art or music, from
anumber of the best known Southern
colleges. If you have daughter about
whose education you are interested, con-
slider the advantages of Union Female

anywhere in the South better place TO

IN regular course will be from 500 to
S210 per scholastic year. French, Ger
man, ETC., are NOT charged for as extras.

the regular curriculum.
If yol wish to engage a place, it is
suggested that it would be well to do so
