4 Milliner In High Life.

New York World, September 1871
Mrs. Cyrus W. Field, Jr., went to the
Curtis millinery establishment in Fifth
avenue, next to Delmonico's, yester-
day afternoon, and began to take an
active part in the management Of the
business in which she has an interest.
A World reporter called at her home,
No. 1866 West Sixty-ffth street, and
found her in joyous mood. She said:
II have begun my new career, and
although I was not brought up to busi-
ness and know little about it, [ am
confident that will get along, as all
my friends are so kind to me. shall
not do much until after October l,
when we are going to have an opening
at the store. Then I shall get right
down to work. 1t is not my intention
to attempt to make any changes in the
business as yet, for I do not know
enough about it. If we do not do well
there will be nothing to blame but the
bonnets.
"Hard times do not affect American
women. American men are the best
and biggest-hearted men in the world.
Times may be hard and business bad,
yet they would rather go without coats
on their backs than to refuse to buy
their wives new bonnets and dresses.
wish ali men were like the American
men,"
All the while that she spoke Mrs.
Field laughed and joked. If her dis
position in business is as genial, she
will make fortune.

Our Public Schools

Are the main-stay Of our republic. In
them are being cultivated the minds
which are to be our future lawmakers
and leaders in every walk in life. How
essential it is that these minds should
be united to strong, healthy bodies.
So many children suffer from impuri-
ties and poisons in the blood that it is
wonder that they ever grow up to be
men and women. Many parents can
not find words strong enough to e1-
press their gratitude to Hoods Sarsa-
parilla for its good effect upon their
children. Scrofuls, salt rheum and
other diseases of the blood are effect
ually and permanently cured by this
excellent medicine, and the whole
being is given strength to resist attacks
Of disease.

The Vast Increase OF Debt.

| From The Wilmington Messenger. ]
Senator Daniel shows beyond the
shadow of doubt that the first cause
ofthe panic of 1893 is the vast increase
of debts. He is hard to convince of a
truth who can read what he says and
then doubt. From 1880 to 1890, the
private Indebtedness of the United
States rose from S6,700,OOO,O0O to Sl9,-
100000, ,000-an increase of thirteen
thousand millions in ten years. Aw-
full!
The increase in the funded debts OF
railroads in the ten years was 12O per
cent. It doubled in seven years. Rail-
road debts exceed assets by S5,0O0,OOO,-
900.
Then there are the debts of telegraph,
telephone, street railways, water, gas,
electric and other companies-vastly
beyond comprehension.
The mortgage debts of twenty-one
states are 81, 4,547, 100000.
Then the banks show an enormous
increase of loans and overdrafts. The
national banks show in tel years an
increase from s9g4, 200, 600 to $2,l71 900,
900; other banks from 1878, 100000 to
81, ,IS9, 100000.
Aggregate debt of states shows an in
crease of So, 100000 over 1880.
The total for 1890 was 81, ,135, ,2l0, ,000-
equal to Sls.13 of the per capita Of the
population. Then there is the national
debt still large, the interest of which
requires alone So, 900, 900 each year.
Senator Daniel, surveying these vast
sums beyond the comprehension OF
most men of fair intelligence, says that
it would take every dollar of ali our
currency to discharge even one-tenth
of the private Indebtedness alone. He
says it would take every dollar of gold
to pay one-third Of the interest on this
debt at 6 per cent. He says this pri-
vate Indebtedness of the United States
is ''more than all the gold and silver
produced in the world since America
was discovered" four hundred years
ago.
He calls attention to the Democratic
declaration at Chicago in regard to the
huge mortgage burden. 1t denounces
the policy that "fosters no industry so
much as it does that OF the sheriff"
But you must read the speech itself il
you would be wiser and know how to
vote with more intelligent insight.

NO LONGER TIE THREE c,s
It Is Now the Ohio Riyer and Charles
ton Railroad-The New Owners will
Build 1t Through to Ohio.
News and Courier, 5th.1


The receiver of the Three C's Rail-
road turned over that property at
Blacksburg yesterday to Charles E.
Hitler, of Boston, who purchased the
property::on the 2ud of May last for the
bondholders of the Charleston, Cincin-
natl and Chicago Railroad Company.
Resides Mr.. Hitler there were present
Mr.. Samuel Hunt, a member OF the
Philadelphia reorganization commit
tee, and Mr.. }. J. Collier, the secretary
Of the committee. ,.--,-s---~ -
The purchaser Immediately assumed
possession and control, continuing Mr..
A. Fripp, temporarily at least, as Sc
perintendent. No announcement has
yet been made of the new official or of
the new organization. It is known,
however, that the purchaser is now
engaged in the incorporation Of rail-
road companies in each of the five
States-South Carolina, North Carroll
ma, Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky.
When incorporated these will consti-
tute one consolidated company, to be
known as the Ohio River and Chailes-
ton Railway Company, to be owned,
operated and completed from the Ohio
river to Charleston.
Yesterday afternoon reporter found
Mr.. Charles r. Hitler at the Charleston
Hotel and asked him for an interview
regarding the future of the new COM
pany.
"Shere is little yet which can be def
nitely stated regarding the purposes of
the Ohio River and Charleston Rail-
way Company" said Mr.. Hitler. "You
will observe that the name of the or
ganization has been changed.
"The Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago Railway is a thing of the past,
and henceforward the road will be
known as the Ohio River and Charles
ton. You doubtless know that the
road has been turned over to its new
owners. Mr.. Samuel Hunt will be the
temporary general manager of the
company, and Mr.. A: Fripp will, for
the time being at least, remain as super
intendent. All minor officials will
hold their positions, bat further than
this nothing can now be said for pub
lication regarding the personnel of the
official staff of the company. The
road will establish some Of its Offices
temporarily at Blacksburg, and officials
of the eastern section of the line will
have their headquarters at the place.
1.-THE only point upon which Iwould
speak with any degree of certainty is
the fact that the road is sooner orlater
to be completed across the mountains.
The gentlemen who have purchased
the road have put one million dollars Of
new money into the concern in order to
secure control of the eastern and west
ern sections Of the line, and this is a
sufficient guarantee of their intention
to carry the matter to completion.
"The original intention was to build
a through line from Charleston across
the mountains, and there can be no
question of the fact that this is to be
done. Work in this direction would
already have been begun except for the
financial stringency of the last few
months, but while the plans of the
company have. been retarded they
have not been abandoned and the
Ohio River and Charleston Road will
ultimately be through line"
