SELLING BY THE POUND.

A pound is pound the world over. MT Betts has adopted the plan of selling
 by the pound, watermelons and cabbage, and is now selling sweet potatoes by the same method. He says this is the only fair way of selling goods or vegetables of any kind that are not of uniform size. You may not be aware of the fact, but it is easy to make three pounds difference in the weight of peck of sweet pota- toes. If put in carefully they will weigh 15 pounds. but if thrown hit or miss, carelessly, the measure apparently full will weigh 12 pounds. So if you buy by the pound you get your moneys

BERLIN, July 9.-About 400 excursions
lists from the principality Of Lippe- Det-
mold visited Prince Bismarck in Freid-
richsruhe to-day. Both the Prince and
Princess responded by appearing on the
balcony of the castle. Prince Bismarck
made notable speech concerning the re-
lations of the smaller Federal States to
the empire, and concluded with these re-
markable words:
There are seventeen Federal States
having only a single vote each in the
Federal Council. The council may be
divided into three categories-the small
States with a vote each, Prussia, with
eighteen votes, and the middle
States, with twenty-four votes. Thus
you see what weight the small States
have. All L am saying to you is jeremiad
over the fact that the national idea has
not caught fire in the parliaments and
governments of the Federated States, as
twenty or twenty-five years ago l hoped
it would.
MY fear and anxiety for the future is
that the national idea may be stifled in
the coils of boa constructor of bureau
cracy which the Crown Prince has been
rapidly creating in the last few years.
Only the Federal Council and Reichstag
can help here, and the former has right
to assert ITSELF 1t would be possible,
then, for the Governments of the smaller
States to express opinions to which no
official attention is paid.
81 sum up all these reflections thus:
God preserve for us the Constitution of
the empire. as it is, and the present
number of Federal Governments which
form the federal council, that the latter
may at all times stand by the side of the
Reichstag as a legislative coefficient of
equal rank with absolutely equal rights"

pressed in his speech aroused as much

CHICAGO, July 9.-The attendance at
the Worlds Fair to-day was SO light as
prove the financial boon to the EXPOSE
ton that was expected. While the ex-
position officials express satisfaction, it is
no secret that the concessionaires are
greatly disappointed, as they of course
are thefirst to feel the results of the light
attendance. Nearly all the catering and
restaurant establishments are cutting
down their forces, and other enterprises
are doing likewise until the attendance
shall become such as to justify previous
expectations.
The regular Sunday services were the
only special attraction to-day.

Palmforst's agitating of the subject of
permitting the sale and immediate de-
livery Of goods by exhibitors for medals
under the present system of awards is
not much cherished, and the only hope
of compensation for the trouble and eX-
pense to which the exhibitors were put
lay in the direct sales they could make.
Palmforst has written a letter to Chief
Allison of the Manufacturers and Liberal
Arts Building complaining of the disor-
derby conduct of the guards on duty at
night He said they were choosing
choice glassware to drink beer from, and
sleeping in show cases, breaking valuable
exhibits.
California's fine display at the Column
bian Exposition is beginning to bear
fruit. All sorts Of prominent people visit
the State building and come away with
materially modified views of the i'm
portance of the Golden State. Yesterday
Albert Nollner, large manufacturer of
enameled ware of Porter, Ind, had an
interview with DR.. Bird relative to the
proposed establishment of plant in Cal
ifornia. He inquired as to the price of
labor, the metal resources, commerce,
etc, of the Pacific Coast. Vollner says
that, in spite of all he had heard of Cali
fornia, he did not fully realize what
field California offers for the establish
ment Of manufacturing industries. The
California exhibit was an object lesson to
him. He said, further, that many other
manufacturers were talking the same
way.
The exhibit of relief map of Califor-
MIA, made by the United States Geologi
cal Survey, has recently been supple
mented by the addition of model Of
Yosemite Valley, which is extremely ac-
curate and perfect. No one leaves the
building without examining the map and
model. The former being upright does
not collect dust, as does the unfortunate
cyclorama of San Francisco.
The attendance to-day was 1886, of
which IS, 523 were paid.

Park commissioners Dedicate Ground

SAN FRANCISCO, July g. Fifty-four
acres in Concert Valley, in Golden Gate
Park, were to-day formally dedicated to-
the use of the Midwinter Fair by the Parks
Commissioners, and negotiations for the
site are thus definitely concluded. The
location is most attractive and convent
ent, and is ample for all purposes of the
exposition. 1t was decided to go to work
Immediately to put the site in order.
Commissioner r. P. Hammond was
chosen as chief engineer of the EXPOSE
ton, and John McLowrey, Park Super
intendent, as landscape engineer.
From information he had gained, Di-
rector De Young said he had no doubt
that at least one thousand exhibits will
be sent from Chicago to the midwinter
exposition, and he deemed it conserva-
tive estimate that the persons in charge OF
them will spend during their stay be-
tween 81, 500, 900 and s., 0OO, 900. AS to Wis
itors, he thought not less than 100000
would come from other States and coun-
tries. Even though no more than 25.OO9
were to come, however, he felt certain
that the fair would be a financial success,
and it appeared to him reasonable to sup
pose that 5000 visitors would leave at
least S., 000,0 900 of their coin in California.

England, Ireland, Scotland and of the
several nations of the continent are ex-

lie laymen from almost every land.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS,
Politicians Discussing the Committee
Assignments.

Assignments.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The politicians
are beginning to discuss the probable
committee assignments in the Fifty-third
Congress. The new House of Represent
atives will have 800 members, OF whom
IDS are Republicans. This number will
entitle them to more representation on
the committees than they enjoyed in the
last Congress. On the Ways and Means
Committee the Republicans last year had
but five members. They will have at
least six and perhaps seven on this COM
mittee in the coming House. Reed, Bur-
rows, Payne, Dalzell and Hopkins of IL
linois will probably remain on the COM
mittee. Ex-Governor Gear of Iowa, who
has been reelected. and who used to
serve on the Ways and Means, will prob
ably be added. The seventh man, if the
minority is increased to that number,
will, in all likelihood, be Grosvenor Of
Ohio.
Some Of Representative Geary's friends
claim that the Californian is now big
enough for a place on the Ways and
Means Committee, and there is no doubt
that Geary has entertained some thought
of this promotion himself. WelI-posted
people here say that Geary does not rank
high enough for that honor notwith-
standing the fame he gained as the
author of the Chinese Registration Act
The Republican representation on the
Coinage Committee is likely to remain
unchanged, with the exception of the
substitution of Francis Newlands of Ne
vada in the place of Bartine. whom he
succeeds. The place of Delegate Game OF
Utah on the committee will probably be
taken by his successor.
There has been much talk recently
about the probable time it will take Con-
gress when convened in extra session to
get to work. 1t has been stated that it
will be impossible for the House to begin
actual legislation until nearly the begin
ming of September. Notwithstanding the
fact that August Tth is thesdate of assem-
hing. This delay, it is said. it will be
impossible to prevent on account of the
entire reorganization among officials and
committees, which will take two or three
weeks to perform.
1t understood, however. that a plan
is under consideration by which this de-
Law may he avoided. There being no
onestion of Crisp's reelection as Speaker.
he has probably already commenced the
nrenaration of the draft of commit
tees. When he comes here it is
understood that he will have the
four most importan: committees
all ready to announce. These four will
be those on Ways and Means. Appropri-
ations, Coinage, Weights and Measures,
Banking and Currency and Rules. With
these committees in operation the House
will be able to proceed at once to busl-
mes.

gathered and peered at the speaker.
They became noisy, and had to be dis
