fully just what would result by their
rejection OF the proposition can not he

taken with their eyes wide open and in

While they have followed with blindly

NEW YORK, Dec. ar. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: 1t cannot
pe said that business during the past week
has grown better or worse. For some days
the gain in demand and i'm transactions
which had been previously noticed evil
IDENTIFY continued. But afterward tariff
uncertainties were thought 10 affect some
branches of business, and whatever the
causes the state of trade was less clear
Money was everywhere abundant, with
rates comparatively low. Reports OF diff
ferent branches of trade and from different
cities frequently mention tariff uncertain
ties as cause Of a natural hesitancy, but
it will take some time to determine
whether the general tendency toward inn
provement has been checked or TO what
extent. The volume of trade has been
somewhat increasing and vet not as much
as was expected. Speculative markets
have shown but little changes except for
trust stocks.
The industries are waiting with visible
uncertainty regarding the outcome of leg
islation, and beliefs that the pending tariff
bill will or will not be passed affect action
rs much as the varying judgments In re-
gard to its effect IL passed.

the A. p. A. Excitement In Lowell Has
Reached Fever Heat.
LOWELL, Mass, Dec 2. For two months
past some of the clergymen of this city
have been conducting pulpit crusades
against the Catholic church, and made
claims that the church sought political
power and the control of the schools.
As result the A. p. A. has developed
and taken hand In politics So thor
ou2hly have the women become imbued
with this idea that they began to register
in order to vote for school committee men,
under the impression that Democratic
supremacy in this branch Of the govern
ment BODIED great danger topublic schools
There was veritable stampede of
women to city hall yesterday, and while
over 500 registered, at least 300 were shut
out. A greater rush is expected, as sew
eral clergymen are marshaling the women.
TO offset the A. p. A. movement Demo
cratic candidates are mastering q small
army of women to register.

THAT INCREASED VOTE.

The Newport News in discussing the
recent election in this city leans TO the
opinion that the large increase in the
vote given the republican candidate for
mayor came from the Democrats. This
is true in part, hut only in part. Tnere
were certain Democrats who had the
good sense to see that the interests of
the city and the citizens would be bet
ter served 10y Republican than n
Democratic executive, and they voted
according to their convictions.
This class of independent Democratic
voters formed but small part Of those
who gave the Republican ticket the in
crease. however. Indeed the added mum.
ber of votes polled can be accounted for by
the aroused interest OF the Republicans.
Heretofore there has been apathy and
lack Of interest, but in the campaign
just closed the Republicans awoke to
tho fact that they had duty to perform.
They turned out as never before and as
a result won signal victory.
The fact is. and IL was amply proven
by Tuesdays election, that the Republi-
cans are In the majority and can, when
ever they bring cut their full strength.

BETHANY MISSION.
Fourth Anniversary Of its Foundation
iittingly Observed.

iittingly observsds
The Bethany Gospel mission, organized
four years ago, celebrated the anniversary
of its founding last evening. The mission
is in charge of the Rev. Joel Bassett.
Services are held at the rooms of
the mission, 26 South Main
street, every evening in the year, and has
for an attendance weekday evenings
about thirty, and Sunday evening the
number is from 100 to 175. At the meet
ing last Sunday evening there was an at
tendance of 1873, which is the largest num-
ber that has ever attended any one SER
vice. The mission is open to the
stranger, and the poor and the forsaken
find comfort by spending the evening
there. 1t makes no prententions of being
a charitable organization, bat eases that
have the appearance of being worthy are
looked into by Mr.. Bassett, and assistance
is rendered so far as he is able. 1t was
through the efforts of the Mission that
gospel wagons have been introduced in
this state. Last night was
the fourth anniversary and the
rooms presented charming and decided
ly home-like appearance. There was an
abundance of flowers and plants. The
meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock
by Mr.. Bassett, who gave a very interest
ing account of the work done during the
year. The financial portion of the re-
port showed that the collections
during the year amounted to S13S7.79
and the expenses had been s716.S6. Among
the clergymen present and assisting in
the work of the evening was Rev. Edward
G. Moore of the Central Congregational,
Francis Horton, Union Congregational,
j. A. #. McBain of the Presbyterian,
Thomas ID. Anderson of the Central Bap-
tist and r. l.. Greene of the Trinity M.
Il. churches.

WILL MANUFACTURE ABROAD.
A Providence Concern That has Taken
Time by the Forelo k.

To the Editor Of The News:
SIR The Wilson tariff bill seems to be the
general subject of conversation, not alone by
manufacturers. but by all classes of people.
1t is no wonder that il should bs so, as its eff
feet If passed would be sweeping and broad
cast. Labor would feel its depressing effects
as we'll as the manufacturer. Even the ag-
taton OF this BILL being the foundatio upon
which all our business enterprises are based,
cannot help to have a depressing influence.
Neither can we expect revival OF busin ess
until il is tied. Allowing some errors to
have existed in the Mckinley bill IL would have
cost the country much less TO haye left it un-
disturbed than TO have brought about the
present financial condition by the agitation Of
the subject
II is unfortunate that the business OF this
country is so frequently disturbed by the
caprices OF party and politicians.
In an interview with the managers OF
large manufacturing concern a few days since
/ learned of the precaution that has been
taken by this firm TO provi 10 against such
ruinous effect as the passage of the Wilson bill
In its present form would brinlsibout. They es-
tabished a mill in Canada and later on put
tle4Tf. II NTH In Eaeias4 the former ~ supply
the market of the West and the latter for
New England, Atlantic and Southern states.
These mills have been built with the view
that when the occasion demanded they could
be duplicated at slight expense and sup
piled with what would be under low rates of
duties, idle machinery from the Providence
mills.
This would be the result IL the Wilson bill
is passed in its present form as labor would
have to be reduced to correspond with that
of other nations. This would be great
calamity indeed, but we can only wait and
hope that there is too much intelligence in
our representatives in congress to bring about
such misfor tune to our people

THE BED0UiNS.
Lecture by Mrs. Lydia Mountford at As
sociation Hail Last sight.

sociation Hail Last sight.
There are three classes OF Arabs men
toned in Bible stories, she said (which
are more or less familiar to all OF us
these three classes of people differ materi-
ally one from the other Language and
customs alike are different. Tonight We
are to see the Bedouins."
Mrs. Mountford then proceeded to give
various presentations OF Bedouin scenes
and customs.
The different costumes of the Bedouins
were faithfully deliniated. The clothing
of both men and women, especially of re-
representatives. of the royal family Is rich,
costly and elegant. The war gear OF the
men is especially striking and does not
look to the initiated to be especially
durable. A staff terminating in an open
hand is always carried and the loss OF 1T
would be thought to entail inevitable
defeat.
Mrs. Mountford details in an interest
ing and apt manner the historical and
Biblical references recalled by study OF
the Bedouin tribes.
II is Characteristic OF the Arabian soil
that despite its fertility, it suffers pro-
tracted and injurious droughts. When
ever well OF fresh water is found there
is struggle for possession, such as are
read of in scriptural accounts. The ac-
curacy of the Bible in these accounts is
remarkable.
The Bedouins are not all dark, as is
commonly supposed. They are OF various
compilations. The majority are, OF course
dark, with dark hair and eyes. The
higher class Bedouin is never seen in this
country, for he cannot be induced to
cross the dark waters. They love their
native land.
The Bedouins are light of figure and
easy and graceful in their manner. They
do not consider stout people to be just
the proper thing.
Mrs. Mountford is accompanied by
several attendants who assist her in
illustrating her descriptions OF Bedouin
life and society.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 2-The report

WONDERS OF PHoNoGRAPH.
Prof. Iovolrs Lecture mt the Trinity NJ. n
Church Last Evening.

A fair sized audince assembled at the
Trinity NJ. Il. church last evening, the
occasion being lecture by Professor
Lowell, on the "Wonders OF the Phono-
graph" The lecturer spoke OF the history
of the phoncgraph, the birth of the idea
and Its completion by the greatest of liv-
ing electricians. Thomas Edison.
A phonograph was exhibited on the
platform and the lecturer interspersed his
remarks by the machine. The audience
listened i'm spcll-bound admiration TO the
sounds issuing from the phonograph.
whfsrf1ng sof0s, fuut5, banjo solos
and rccitations poured from the
wonderful little machine which
seemed endowed with almost super
natural powers. An interesting feature
was the reproduction on the phonograph
OF a whistling solo by Mr.. Charles At
wood. The operation OF taking the solo
on the machine and the reproduction of
the sounds proved very interesting.
