New Smells In Chicago.


When all other senses fail him the
visitor to Midway Plaisance may de-
pend upon his sense of smell to inform
him what village or building he may be
in. There are dozens of smells on tho
Plaisance-not the ordinary odors we
all meet daily, but characteristic smells,
vaguely potent in awakening associa-
tions and exciting memories. The Chi
nese theater is redolent of the howery
kingdom and revels in a varied collec-
ton of odors from those of teas and
spices to those of the queer little hand
made articles which lie displayed on
the counters. Taken altogether, it is a
clean smell. puugently fragrant Fur

Senator Irby and the Editor OF the
Atlanta Journal.

WASHINGTON, January 26.-Another
chapter IN the Cleveland Irby conference
was revealed here to-day. For several
days past vague rumors have been float
ing about the Capitol to the effect that
Senator Irby, during his recent visit to
Mr. Cleveland, took occasion to endorse
Mr.. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, for place
in the Cabinet. Not until to day was
able to verify the report. Senator Irby
admitted this afternoon that he spoke to
Mr.. Cleaveland in favorable terms of Mr..
Smith. The Senator appeared to be very
much astonished that the fact had leaked
out, and be positively refused to 60 into
details.
It appears that Hoke Smith aspircs to
a place in the Cabinet as the Southern
representative. and it is his desire to OBJ.
tain general endorsement from as many
of the Southern Congressman as possible.
How no obtained tho cooperation of
Senator Irby is simply matter Of spec
ulation, for none of the interested parties
are disposed to discuss tho subject.
Members of the South Carolina delega-
ton at first refused to believe the report
of the com bination between Senator Irby
and Hoke Smith, and even after they
were assured that Senator Irby advocated
the appointment of Mr.. Smith they ap-
peared to be all the more rnystified. Rep
resentatives Hemphill and Brawley said
they could not understand how such
union, if one exists was brought about.
The presence of Evan Howell, of At.
lanta, in Washington indicates that he is
here to fight the appointment of Smith.
He is said to have received information
of the com bination between Smith and
Irby, but he could hardly believe that
the latter would enter into such COM
pact. The political atmosphere in this
vicinity is filled with rumors growing
out of the Irby-Smith incident but it
is difficult to induce any of the princi-
pals to discuss tho subject for puhlica-
ton.
1t is whispered around in Congression-
al circles that Senator Butler is being
urged for tho Postmaster Goneralship,
and Senator Irby was induced to take
sides with Smith, hoping to kill off But
ler's prospects. Senator Butlor refuses
to discuss the subject, but 1t is known
that mum Der of prominent Democrats
in Washington and New York that Sena-
tor Butler would mako an admirable
Postmaster General. Senator Butler has
no Cabinet aspirations, as he prefers to
remain in the Senate. lie has an election
coming on, and ho is gotLing ready for
the contest and does not appear to he
giving any attention to the Cabinet boom
which some Of his friends have started
without consulting him. .-,SpcciottO NcWs

The reports from the pork centers of
The west, says the Atlanta Constitution,
show that the scarcity Of hogs and the
high price of pork and lard may be ex-
spected to continue. High prices are
drawing to the market class of animals
that should have been kept three months
longer. The present supply is taken
from the future, and still the shortage is
seriously felt. During the past week the
receipts of hogs have been 60 per cent. Of
sthe number received year ago. They
are of lighter weight and the product is
little more than half of what it was last
year. They advanced considerably last
week, and the best sold at s7.75 per hun
dred pounds against $3.50 a year ago.
Pork advanced In the western cities rs
gcentsa barrel, lard IS cents hundred
and ribs SO cents hundred during the
week. With these facts before them, our
Southern farmers should require no urg-
ing to induce them to increase their hog
product. High prices will prevail for
some time to come, and every additional
hog In the South is another step towards
independence, self-support and comfort.
We are abundantly supplied with home
raised corn and there is no earthly reason
why we should not raise all the hogs we
need.

No Dlspensary,

MEssRs EDITORS: If, as has been said
by various religious papers, no Christian
can consistently..with bis profession accept
the position of Dispenser, then it must fol-
low that no Christian can consistently
sign any application for it. But to those
who conacientiously believe the liquor
traffic an evil, the question is not whether
the present is better than the former sys-
tenn, but they are opposed to it under any
laws.
The plan of raising revenue for the State
and lowering taxation under the Dispen-
sary law is very dangerous experiment
People love money. and wherever it is
found that taxes will be lowered thereby,
many will favor it because it lessons their
taxes, and it may prove something like
the present tariff laws-very hard to get
off the books.
Recent legislation will help the cause of
prohibition if we can keep out DISPENSE
ries. Let us do 1t and secure victory, to
some extent, from what seemed defeat.
No Christian should approve or aid in es.
tablishing any law which tends to legiti-
matize the liquor traffic. We are opposed
to the traffic in any fern. We cannot
favor it in any form. We want prohibi-
ton and we haven't got it.

A Husbands Devotion.

James II. Denton. of boswell, seventeen
miles from Richmond, who was Brought
into prominence recently by refusing to
allow his wife to be buried and by keep
ing the body in a metallic case in his
room, was stricken with paralysis Satur-
day and his condition is critical.
1t is supposed that the stroke was caus-
cd by grief over his wite's death. Mrs.
Denton died three weeks ago Sunday
morning, and the body remains unburied.
The husband claims that there is no law
to compel interment. Mr.. Denton is a
successful merchant and has amassetl a
considerable fortune. He was dovotcdly
attached to his wife, ami if ho RECEIVERS
will probably not consent to burial
until compelled to.
