No greater evidence of the vast
 trade and industrial development of the new life and activity reported in Baltimore could be given than is found i'll the publication of 64page special issue of the Baltimore News devoted to the progress and prosperity of Bal
 timore and the South. This is the largest paper ever published south of New York, and it's list of contents is one issue of any daily paper. Ten Southern governors write of the re- sources and advantages of their res pective states. Hon. Robert F. Port,f. the Superintendent of the census, gives an official census review of the South, MT. Richard II. Edmonds under whose editorial charge this issue was prepared, writes Of the conditions of the South prior to the war, and of its progress since then, and editorially discusses every phaZe of southern ad.
 vancement. Many special writers con- tribute special articles on the South and it's varied resources. The News shows that Baltimore has entered upon a new era of progress, in fact, that the whole city is being revolutioncd; that S60 000 ,000 are going into new deyel- opment enterprises and municipal i'm proveDents, including Sl5,000.900 in the building of over 200 miles of cleo tric and cable railways, $6 ,000 900 in belt line and tunnel. millions in build ing operations, half a million in the largest hog and beef packing establish ment east of Chicago, etc. It also shows that Baltimore's population is increasing at the rate of about 10000 year. and that it's manufacturing cap
 ital has increased from S3S ,000 900, in
 1SS3 to over $l00, 0,000,G0 at present.. The growth of the South as shown by the figures has been simply marvellous, notwithstanding the temporary string ency which has retarded business in- terests since the Barring failure.
 The Suuth's gain in population from 1881 to 1891, says The News, was only about 20 per cent. With only this in crease in population which should be remembered in order to appreciate what that section has accomplished, the South increased its grain produc- ton from 40i ,000 900 bushels in 1881 to 672 .080 900 bushels in 1S9l-a gain of 66 per cent; it's cotton crop increased from 5,500,000 bales to ,000 bales or 64 per cent. It practically created in that period it's early vegetable and fruit business for Northern markets, which now yields upwards Of $50 ,000,- O0O year, and largely added to it's cotton, rice and sugar crops. Its pig iron production, which was 45l 900, tons in 1891, was 300, 00G tons in 1892; its coal outpHt rose from 6,000 ,000 tons to 9, ,000 ,O00 tons; its cotton splndles from G67 1000 to 2,500000; it's cotton seed oil industry S540 900 ,0g0 its rail- road mileage from 23 .Sll miles to 45 500 miles; it largely more than doubled Its banking business, increasing the num- Der of its national banks from 223 to 67T, and their aggregate capital from S55 900 600 to s102 900, GOO; it added to the assessed value of its property near ly S2 COG. 100000, or 65 per cent, mak- ing the average assessment per capita in 1892 S27l. against SlS7 in 1890.

 It will be remembered that on Octo- Der ', 1892. Mr. w. A. Gamble was published in TIE TIMES as the author of d wilful and malicious falsehood re- garding the reasons why the agency of the Memphis Commercial had been ta- ken out of my hands. Mir. Gamble was ill the city Tuesday night, and meeting me, asked retracton of said publish ed article, disclaiming any intention to misrepresent me, and stating that when he circulated the report that had dis criminated against the Commercial. it the same he had also stated that Nj. Toler was his authority. Under these circumstances 1 believe it to be my duty to set Mir. Gamble right before the readers of HE TIMES, and with this idea in view asked him to make Il state ment of the facts for publication over his signature, which he willingly con- sented to do.

 While in Forrest City, in the interest of the Memphis Commercial, during the races in September last, 1 stated then both iu public and private, that we had taken the agency of the Commercial out of the hands of Mfr.

 Now. I wish to again say that the as- sertion that 1 ever discriminated against the Commercial in favor of the Appeal while l was the agent of both. is absolutely false, and defy Mir.

age. Herodotus 600 b. CO. in writing of his
travels through Egypt. at that time une of he
greatest and most civilized countries In the

himself to one disease only and not more.

dentistry than any other y op!e in that early
period for teeth filed with gold have been

their advanced ideas. These people were the
first to supply artificial substitutes IN the

OREGON BUSINESS.
Efforts to Make the Corvallis Con-
yeution a Success.


The special excursion arranged by the
Oregon Pacific Railroad for the merchants
Of San Francisco will n OF take place before
the latter part of July.
Passenger Agent Bergip represented the
Oregon Pacific at the meeting of the Board
of Trade on Saturday and explained to
that body the object of the proposed trip.
The Board of Trade has replied, stating
that letters of inquiry will be sent out to
local merchants and that the Oregon
Pacific Company might expect an answer
from the board at an early date regarding
the number of merchants who would at
tend the excursion.
special rate of SO was named by the
Oregon Pacific.
General Agent Vaughn said last evening
that it was the object of the Oregon Pacific
Company to have the San Francisco mer-
chants visit The Willamette Valley and see
for themselves what an immense business
that section of the country was doing.
Then focal. who lesa lers Will probably make
greater efforts 10 secure Southern Oregon
trade.
Mr.. Vaughn also stated that Southern
OlegOnians are very anxious that the San
Franct-co Board of Trade should do all in
its power 10 secure a representative at
tendance at the convention which Will be
held at Corvallis al dates which will be
named later.
The good effect of the recent excursion
of OregOnians to this city is obvious. a
wholesale grocer of this city said last even
Ing that he had sold more goods in the
Willamette Valley during the past two
months than he ever did before 10 year.
Il made it point" he said. ''to become
acquainted with the OregOnians when they
were visiting US. and let them understand
that | had their best interests at heart. |

me on certain lines of goods, but in two
cases out of three, by making few trilling
concessions, | discovered that | could sell
goods on an even basis with Eastern
houses"
A number of shippers suggested that the
Board of Trade should make special efforts
TO have merchants of this city or their
represen tatvas present at Corvallis at the
convention TO be called by the Board os

DELEGATES DANCE
Young Ladies Entertained
by Young Men.
The Grand Council of the Young
Ladies' Institute Combines Bust
ness With Pleasure.

The Young Mems Institute gave very
enjoyable social in Union-square Hall last
evening. The complimentary entertain
ment had been prepared in honor of the
grand session of the Young Ladies' Insti-
tute being held in San Francisco.
Numbers of the young ladies responded
to the invitation, including most of the
grand officers and the delegates from the
various institutes. The young men en-
tered thoroughly into the spirit of the
affair. They appeared in such large num-
Ders that when the grand march opened, a
little after 9, not only had every lady
who chose to dance a partner. but she
might almost have had two. The young
men without partners took good-natured
interest in the proceedings and patiently
waited till fortune favored them with
dances.
The social was under the auspices of the
board of presidents of the Young Mems
Institute. Great credit is due to those in
charge for the excellent way in which
everything was managed. The following
gentlemen had charge of the entertain
ment:

Although the delegates and the officers
of the Young Ladies' Institute are being
treated to SO many pleasant entertain
ments, they are by no means neglecting
business. The morning session, which was
held in Odd Fellows Hall, was occupied
entirely yesterday by amending the con-
stitution. Hitherto institutes of 100 mem
bers have been permitted 10 send three
delegates to convention-one for each
fifty members and one at large. 1t was
decided to abolish delegates at large, on
the score of economy.
The question of mileage for delegates
from distance was also brought up, but
the settlement of the matter was post
pOned until to-day
The afternoon session was occupied by
discussion respecting the reamendment or
the death benefit. At present $3.50 is
paid or q members decease. So many
deaths occurred last year that each mem
Der OF the soc ely was assessed 80 cents a
head to meet the expenses of the death
benefits. Yesterday it was proposed to
avoid the recurrence of this tax by reduc-
ing the death benefit to S125 or 500.
After quite display of oratory from those
IN favor of the motion and those against it,
the ladies decided not TO reduce the
present benefit of $50.

berS of the Press Club.

There was quite a large gathering of
ladies and members of the Press Club last
evening at the rooms of the club on Pine
street 10 witness The celebrated masters of
the cue. Schaefer ard Spinks, play an
exhibition game OF billiards.
Ben Saylor was selected as referee,
after which Harry NJ. Tod, the president
OF the club. introduced the champion
billardist and his pupil to the gathering
and announced that they would play 200
points 14-inch balk-line billiards. Some
exceedingly clever plays were witnessed
during the game, which was eventually
won by Spinks. whose score was go as
against 98 for Schaefer.
After the contest tie billiardsts gave
very clever exhibitions of fancy billiards
which was highly appreciated by the spec
tat0rs, some of whom had seen Scnaefer
for the first time. Professor May, who,
by the way, IS crack biIiardist according
20 the German system of playing, was not
particularly fascinated with The game
because the balls, according to Hoyle, were
much smaller than those used by German
experts. The professor is of the opinion
that Schaefer would not be in it agains t

esteemed friend o: the professor.
