1t is not alone in this country that the
tendency exists for the laboring popula-
tion to flock to the cities at the expense of
the country districts. In Germany this is
markedly the case. Not only has the cap
ital city of Berlin increased in population
nearly 200 per cent in the last quarter of a
century, rate of growth four times as
great as that of London-but nearly all
the German cities exhibit similar ten
dency to augment their population, while
the rural districts suffer in proportion.
In many parts there are not enough farm
laborers to do the necessary farm work.
The country is becoming deserted, and the
abandoned FARMS" which in that coun-
Try consists of a small house and plot OF
garden land, are so numerous that they sell
for little more than conveyancng fees.

John Stephenson, the famous car-build-
er, who died recently at New Rochelle, n.
Y, left an estate valued at only $4,000.
During his lifetime he distributed fully
1000, 900 in assisting charitable objects,
in building churches, supporting religious
societies and institutions of learning, and
in effecting public Improvements in New
Rochelle. He spent over $4,000 in max
ing good roads for five miles in either di-
rection in the vicinity of his home. He
lived unostentatiously and always said
that he would never leave a large estate,
preferring that his sons should start in
life where he did to earn their own for
tunes. Who can doubt but that Mr..
Stephenson had his reward, or that he
found more enjoyment in living than those
who accumulate wealth simply for the
power it brings them, or for the purpose OF
enriching their posterity?

Prior to the adoption of the Mckinley
tariff, we imported all our tin plate. Now
we are making thirty million pounds a
quarter, and the workingman's tin pail,
about which our free trade friends pro-
fessed so great concern, sells for four dol
lars hundred less than it did before the
tariff was framed. In answer to the charge
that the American tin plate industry con-
sists only of dipping imported black plate
in imported tin in imported kettles by inn
ported Welshmen, President Niedringhaus
of the St. Louis Stamping company says;
"The product of our mills is made from
American ores smelted in American fur
naces, rolled in American mills, dipped in

the figure Of 49, ,401. 1t is estimated that

A banquet to Imperial German Commits

number of prominent men connected with
the fair, and Director General Davis, in the
course of speech, said that Germany had
made such a display that there is every

see it with his own eyes. The banquet was
a farewell one, as Wermuth goes at once
to Germany.

SHERIFF ROBBED OF $1,000.
Knocked OF Train by Two Thieves, Shot
and Clubbed

hhocheu ou u lrdin Dy Two InleVes, ShOt

MEMPHIS, July T-Sheriff W. F. War
ner, of Crittenden county, Ark, has been
shot and robbed of over s11 900. Sheriff
Warner, who resides at Marion, Ark,
came to Memphis for the purpose of Sc
curing money with which to make his
quarterly settlement with the auditor of
public accounts at Little Rock Upon his
arrival here Mr.. Warner received $1,000
in currency which he placed in a small
travelling bag and boarded the Little
Rock and Memphis train for Little Rock.
As the sain slowed up at the big bridge
the sheriff was knocked from the rear
platform of the Pullman sleeping car by
two men. He was stunned by the fall, but
regained his feet and fired on his assail-
ants, but a bullet from one of the robbers
pierced his left shoulder and arm and dis
abled him. While one of the bandits kept
up a steady fire in front the other crept up
behind the wounded officer and with a
powerful blow with bludgeon on the
head felled him to the ground
The robbers then grabbed the bag of
money and escaped in the darkness. The
sheriff lay by the side of the railroad track
until morning, when he was found by a
track walker and the alarm was given. A
diligent search has been made for the rob-
bers, but so far the detectives have been
unable to find clue. Sheriff Warner is
considered out of danger.

A Victim of the Draft Riots.

New YORK, July 17.-General Edward
Jardine died at O. clock yesterday after
noon. He was 65 years old, and was one of
the bravest men who went from this state.
He raised a company at his own expense,
and was in a large number of engage
ments. In 1868 he was home when the
draft riots broke out, and led the soldiers
against the mob. He was wounded in the
leg by some one in the mob, and this
wound was the cause of his death, having
caused him terrible suffering ever since.

try air in the vast park made walking and
sightseeing a laborious task A shower
at noon, however, cooled the atmosphere a
few degrees and during the afternoon the
turnstiles at the pay gates recorded the
advent of many visitors who formed the
principal crowds OF the day
Pass Gates but Little Used.
The pass gates were almost entirely
ignored, the holders of the Photographic
privileges inneaIl. every instanance buying
a piece of pasteboard bearing the words:
"Admit one. Benefit Sufferers from the
Cold Storage Fire." or using their passes
and depositing silver half in the tin
receptacle which met the eye just inside
the gate. The crowd which the evening
was expected to bring out did not materi-
alize and the idle gatekeepers did not have
one kind word to say in favor of Chicago
and her guests for their lack of apprecia-
tion of the gallant work of the firemen
who were burned to death on Monday
last. The outward appearance of the fair
did not differ IN any respect from that of
last Sunday save for the emblems of
mourning on the engine houses and the
flags at half mast.
What the People Could See.
Nearly all the displays made by foreign
exhibitors in the Manufactures building
We're draped, while many American ex-
hibits were closed. The building was Wis
tied by many people during the day, how
ever, but most of them spent their time
sitting upon chairs in the long avenues
running through the building and view
ing the white canvasses which shut out
the coveted sights within. Other bull
ings had their usual Sunday crowds, t. c

Clingman Will Have to subside.
A question has arisen as to the injunc-
ton obtained by Charles w. Clingman re-
straining the directors from closing the
gates on Sunday. Judge Stein says it is
still in force, and if the gates are closed it
will be in violation of the courts order.
W. E. Mason is Clingman's attorney, and
says the gates will not be closed next Sun
day unless his client backs down. Edwin
Walker, chief legal counsel for the exposi-
tion company, said the gates would remain
closed. If Clingman refused to consent the
company would go into court and have his
injunction set aside.
