Railroad Employees Combine.

All of the railroad organizations,
except the switchmen, have been in
session, by delegates, at Cedar Rap
ids, la, the past week, forming them
selves into an amalgamated associa-
ton. The following are the brother
hoods represented: Locomotive en-
gineers, locomotive firemen, conduc-
tors, trainmen and telegraph opera.
tors.
1t is said the object of this is to pre-
vent any railroad strike that might oc-
cur during the time of the great cxhi-
bition. 1t is feared that if the various
brotherhoods were left to their own
discretion, and in view of the dissatis-
faction already existing among the Or
ganizations, strikes would ensue on
many Of the prominent roads of the
country.
Such conservative leaders as z. M.
Arthur, ST the engineers, and D. G..
ltainsay, Of the biographies, who
held conference on the subject 4
short time ago, agreed that if any or
ganization went out on strike dur
ing the fair, public sentiment and
prejudice would be so strong that II
would end in thesdissolution OF those
organizations. Every state in the
union will send one representative
from each Of the five orders.

LEONARD LIPPMAN, President
A MANIFESTO
TO Confederate Veterans Urging
Them to Become Members Of the
United Confederate Veterans.
To Confederate Veterans Of Alabama:

CoMRADEs--At the annual meeting
of the Confederate Veteran associa-
ton held in Birmingham, in the fall
of 1891, you elected me president of
at association. Since that time, the
society known as the United Confed-
crate Veterans, has perfected its or
ganization in every southern state and
is now i'll successful operation. 1t is
useless and unwise to attempt
10 keep up two societies, COM
posed of the same members and having
identical interests and purposes.
After full and free consultation
with veterans from every portion of
the State. have concluded that it is
impolitic to call another meeting of
the State association; and instead
thereof, earnestly urge upon all the
county and other local associations to
take immediate steps to become afiili-
ated with the United Confederate Vet
erans.
For this purpose application should
be made at once to General j. Il Holtz-
claw, Montgomery, Ala, who will
give proper directions in the premises,
and assign each camp to its proper
brigade.
AS the annual convention of the
United Confederate Veterans meets in
birmingham next July, it is highly
important that at least one camp be
promptly organized in each county of
the State.
! With profound gratitude for the
honors you have conferred on me and
with earnest prayers for your happi-
ness and welfare, am

The Emperor of Germany has just
placed upon the wall of his study large
photograph of which he is very proud.
It is portrait, half life size, of the
biggest and smallest soldier of the Prus-
sian Army standing tide by side. The
former is Private Pritzchan, of the First
Regiment Of the Prussian Guard. He
stands six feet "a inches in his boots,
and when he presented himself at Das-
seldorf for examination special appa-
ratus had to be provided with which to
take his waist measure. His breadth is
in proper proportion to his height. The
smallest soldier is the hereditary Prince.
The picture is unique one, showing a
verita6le giant, quite equal to any that
figure in "Grimm's Tales" or other
books Of fables, and by his side soldier

"There is a turkey, nice, fat turkey
that lives OH Spring Hill avenue, and

numerous Christmas and Thanksgiv-
ing days. About the time set for the
sacrifice Of gobblers, this particular
bird becomes i'll. He staggers in his

leans against the fence for support:
his feathers droop and white film
gathers over his eyes. OF course the

A Good Hair story.

Nancy Garrison, negress, living
at Holly Springs, Miss, has the long.
est hair of any woman iii the world,
white or black. She is pleasant old
woman about 60 years of age, of
dark saddle color, and wears her hair
in three plaits. The side plaits Just
touches the floor, while the plait be-
hind drags feet 8 inches on the floor
and measures s feet in length. 1t is a
silver sable in color and quite kinky.
She wears it coiled up into chignon
on her head, which would attract at
tention in itself. She tell the follow
ing story about herself: sIn the yell
low fever epidemic of 1878 she lost
her husband, Phil Upshaw, and had
an attack of the fever herself. Short
ay afterwards she saw in dream
brown woman with three hair plaits.
This was repeated three times, and,
while amazed at the dream, she could
not understand it. Abuout year
elapsed, when one day, while sitting
in her room voice said: "You are
the woman who is to wear this hair"
70 which she replied: ayes, God, l
is the woman" From that time her
hair began to grow rapidly and to
turn white. Three years ago tho
voice again spoke to her and said
"You shall see your hair gain in
that hand, as black as ever" and from
that time it began turning black
again"

R. G. DUN'S BUSINESS REVIEW
Condition and General Outlook Of The
Prospects Of the Country.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says:
Reports of the condition of trade
are decidedly more satisfactory in
most lines and especially in woolens,
though the trade i'll iron and steel is
noticeably weak. The holiday trade
throughout the North seems unusually
large, especially at Chicago, st. Louis
and Cleveland, and it is lively at some
Southern points, such as Knoxville,
but only fair at Memphis and Little
Rock. In other products distribution
appears generally larger than usual
for the season, particularly in dry
goods. shoes and furniture of the
better grade.
The striking feature of the week is
the great demand for woolen and cot
ton goods. All the cotton machinery
is employed to full capacity, but is
behind the demand, and prices are
exceedingly firm, with tendency to
advance. In boots and shoes there is
also an unusually good demand for
the season, many spring orders being
pioSOts Witu VI SCHt uCiiidlo lOI early
delivery.
The iron trade has become decidedly
weaker, and holders of pig make con-
cessions of about 25 per cent, the
pressure to sell being mainly northern.
Fer all finished products the demand
is slow.
Boston reports that cotton fully
maintain the advance in price, and
trade in woolens is very promising
and shoes better, with large orders.
Leather is i'll improved demand and
lumber steady, while the trade in fur
niture is good and in groceries large.
At Philadelphia iron is weak but
hardware active, and the coal trade
fair.
AT Cincinnati the produce sales ex-
ceed last years, and the market for
tropical fruits is strong. Pig iron is
in less demand at Pittsburg.
Business is good at Cleveland and
Detroit.
Receipts at Chicago show gains of
~ per cent. in wheat, 80 in barley
and 90 in butter compared with last
year, but losses OF 10 in dressed beef,
20 in flour and cheese, 80 in corn, 40
in hogs, so in wool and 70 in rye and
pork The general trade is very good,
though heavy woolens are slow be-
cause of The weather.
The trade is strong at st. Louis; at
Kansas City better than the average
for the season, and very active at
Omaha and Denver.
AT New Orleans there is fair activ--
ity for the season, though sugar is in
large demand and Rio improving in
price.
Speculative markets we're much dis
turbed by large gold experts, the rise
in exchange and the stringency in
money OH call, which rose from A per
cent. two weeks ago and one week
ago to 40 per cent. at one time on
Monday, and is still strong at 6 per
cent. Export Of products fall behind
last years, but the outgo Of gold is
evidently due in the main to foreign
sales of securities and whether these
will continue no one can say with
certainty.

DR.. John Hall was said to be out of

tered the house just as the reporter
reached the door, and who refused to
give his name, said he had seen the dis

son, he said, had written letters to his
father in which he had declared his In

in case DR.. Briggs was not acquitted.
"Young Hail." he continued, twas

Seminary, and was a pupil Of DR.. Briggs.
He imbibed his theological views from
DR.. Briggs teaching, and he is as much
of an extremist as the latter in matters
concerning Biblical theology. DR.. Halls
son has made no secret Of his views and
of his intention to stick to DR.. Briggs.
He has written letters which have been
published in religious journals, stating
shat he would withdraw from the

MOESIGNORE SATOLLTS VISIT.


DAUn0E
New YORK, May 13.-Mgr. Satolli,
the papal delegate, arrived at Jersey
City at 3:10 o'clock this afternoon.
The arrival of Mgr. Satoili in Hobo
ken to-day was eagerly awaited by
churchmen. The settlement by the
apostolic delegate OF the bitter contro-
versy between Bishop Wigger, of the
diocese OF Newark. and Father Corri-
gan, of the Church OF Our Lady Of
Grace, In favor of the latter, the subse-
quent refusal Of the Bishop to attend
the dinner to be given on Monday by
Father Corrigan in honor Of Mgr. Sa-
tolli and the possibility OF a reconcilia-
ton, or, as is more probable, a wider
breach between the bishop and priest,
make the visit Of the delegate a matter
Of unusual interest to Roman Catholics.
1t was arranged that Mgr. Satolli
should be driven to st. Michaelis Mon
asterYin West Hoboken, on his arrival,
the guest of whose rector, Father
Blakely, who accompanied the delegate,
he was to be. Tomorrow be will assist
Father Blakely in the Sunday service.
On Monday he will 60 to Hoboken,
Wl6T6 ne Will dGJeuu Juc ulHncI given
in his honor by Father Corrigan and the
subsequent reception. 1t will be seen
that Mgr. Satolli's plans have been
greatly changed.
His original intention was to spend
his entire time at Father Corrigan's
house, and the change, 1t is said, can be
ascribed to but one cause. the fear of
widening the breach between Bishop
Wigger and the priest OF the Church of
Our Lady of Grace.
Bishop Wigger will pay his respects
to Mgr. Satolli on Sunday at the monas-
terry. He will not attend the dinner on
Monday and he will not attend the en-
tertainment. He will do nothing, in
short, which might be interpreted as
d~lsrespectful to the Pope's emissary,
and will do nothing from which 1t could
be inferred that he had made peace
with Father Corri~an. 1t was stated
to-day by a priest. who is closely asso-
clated with both Bishop Wigger and
Father Corrigan, that Mgr. Satolli
would try to effect a full reconciliation
between the prelate and priest during
his present visit.

Raum's Celebrated .~complstef Files"
Order Revoked by Commissioner hoeh-
ren.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 13.-An inn
portant order revoking the celebrated
Completed files" order Of Commissioner
of Pensions Raum has been issued by
Commissioner Lochren.
The order states that hereafter all
pending claims in each class will be ta-
ken up for consideration In the order in
which the unconsidered evidence is flied,
the object aimed al being a practical
return TO the method In vogue
prior to 1889. 1t is calculated
that under the new administration a
check is going to be given to the rapid
growth OF the pension list, even with
out the assistance Of any legislation.
When the pension appropriation bill
was passed at the last Congress II was
expected that the amount appropri-
ated would be about $4,000, 900 short
of the expenditures for this fiscal year.
1t was anticipated that q deficiency
OF that amount would have 10 be pro-
vided for at the coming session. The
average number of original pension
cases passed on each month is e.
pected, however, to be but one-third
what il was under the former admins
tration OF the Office, and that instead OF
a deficiency there will Do a surplus of
about Sc, 200, 900.
