Washington aud New York, as we'll as
Philadelphia, are very much interested in
the action Of Secretary Carlisle postponing
the building Of a new mint in the last
named city. In certain circles it is believed
that the secretary's action means the re-
movsl Of the mint, and both Washington
and New York are anxious for the money
mill. Washington has a mint, but wants a
newer and bigger one; New York thinks
her Importance as a financial center de-

Philadelphia to New York with favor.

Generally speaking women are the most
uucompromising enemies of liquor saloons.
They have good reason to be, for they are
the people worst hurt by them. Yet
number Of women in Philadelphia have
petitioned the licence court to permit the
establishment Of whisky shop at point
near their homes. Under existing circum-
stances. the petitioners say, their husbands,
sons and beaux have to go long distance
TO get their drinks, and in returning are
obliged to cross a railroad track. Is FREE
quently happens that the men linger long
over the glasses, and when they leave for
home they are in no condition to cross the
tracks. Frequent accidents at the crossing,
the petitioners believe, are due to this fact.
| Therefore they ask for the establishment of
a whisky shop where their men may drink
and get home with whole limbs. They
also think the men would drink less if the
| whisky was put within handy reach. When
/ they have to go so far to get it they drink
deep TO pay for the trouble. There is phil
osophy in the petition.

Gigantic Bridge Scheme.

Various startling projects have been
mooted for enabling travellers to cross
the English channel without undergo
ing the troubles of the short sea pas
sage, An extraordinary project is the
channel bridge scheme, which is of
French dcvising. The proposed bridge
would be something like thirty-four
miles long, and a moderate estimate
gives its probable cost at e34, 400, COO
From 1,OOO, 900 to 2,OoO,Oo tons of metal
would be required for its construction,
which would need about ten years to
complete. AS proposed, the platform
of the bridge would be $50 feet above
high water level, supported on piles
distant from each other 500 or Geo yards,
1t would contain room for four railway
lines, with a road for carriages, besides
footpaths, while places for refuge,
watch houses and alarm bells, with a
powerful light would be placed ut each
pile. A harbor in the middle of the
| channel is included In some accounts OF
the scheme.

THE CHINESE EXHIBIT.
1t VIII BE EIado by IL Wealthy Merchant
of Canton.

1t VIII BE Made by Wealthy Merchant
of Canton.
Mr.. Chun is q merchant of Canton.
He is said to be one of the richest men
in China. The Chinese government was
very wroth when the act excluding its
citizens from landing on American
shores was passed by congress and in
reply to President IIarrison'S invita-
to take part in the fair sent back Il curt
refusal. Mr.. Chun heard about this
and was gricved to think that his coun-
try would not be represented in any
way at the fair. He called on Charles
Seymour, the American consul at Can
ton, and talked the situation over, and
finally decided to shoulder the burden
of making China's exhibit himself Mr..
Chun convinced Consul Seymour that
he would represent his country credit
ably, and the consul cabled to Chief
Fcarn to save space for Mr.. Chuu. He
assured the officials that the Chinese
millionaire would spare no money to
have the industries of his country prop
erly shown.
It is expected that the Chinese exhibit
will be confined almost exclusively to
manufactures hall. Mr.. Chun intends
to concentrate his efforts to show what
the manufacturing industries Of that
country are doing. Ivory carving, silk
fabrics and numerous decorative arti-
cles will form the principal exhibit, on
which Mr.. Chun expects to spend thou
sands of dollars. The rich Chinaman is
not prompted by patriotic motives alone
III making this lavish outlay at tho fair.
He is the senior partner and fnancier
of one of the largest mercantile houses
in Canton and by means of the exhibit
expects to draw the attention of the
American buyers to his house.
Mr.. Chun is something of q tourist
and when he goes abroad travels in
royal style. His face is familiar in some
of the largest mercantile establishments

FOR PUBLIC COMFORT.
Plans Doing Made for Worlds Fail
Visitors.
Good Recommendations Will tic Provide,
Err.a;: the Exp sition at Eeasou-
able I::Ites-11n Excellent
Plan.

In answer to the many inquiries from
boards of trade and similar bodies con-
corning the alleged plan to demand eS
tortionate prices for accommodations in
Chicago next summer, Maj w. Marsh
Kasson has prepared the following re-
port from the bureau of public comfort:
This bureau has been established by
the Worlds Columbian exposition to co,
operate through it's hotel and roOmin9
department, to the best of its ability
with the citizens of Chicago for the
comfort and protection of visitors to Sc
cure for them suitable and desirable
lodgings at fair and reasonable rates.
THE management is llcenly alive to
the fact that thousands of visitors will
be deferred from visiting the city unless
they can be fully assured on this point,
hence every effort is being made to rea-
lie satisfactory results in this direction.
Enquiries were sent out some time
ago to householders having furnished
rooms to let, to learn as far as possible
prices that would be expected therefor,
and the following statement gives the
general average quotations received in
reply, to cover the accommodations for
over 10000 people in the best part of the
city lying between North avenue and
Scvcntyn nth street.
Price o rooms per day without board;
Sin gle room, single bed, one person,
s1.35.
Double room, double bed, one per

beds, two persons, $3.50.
"Double-bedded room, two double
beds, three persons, s4.15.
Double-bcdded room, two double
beds, four persons, $3.50.
There certainly does not seem ac.
cording to these figures to be any indi,
cation that citizens of Chicago will dc
mand excessive rates for the accommo
dation of visitors to the exposition, and
they can be relied upon to sustain the
good reputation of Chicago for fair anG
liberal treatment of it's guests. One
publishing house has a pamphlet now
in press containing a list of over ter
thousand places in the city of Chicago
where furnished rooms can be had al
moderate rates. The prices given above
do not include large first-class hotels
nor prominent new buildings in course
of erection in the vicinity of jackson

rruss,c Acid aAd Peach Sto.cs.

The statement was made recently
that prussic acid was made from peach
stones, says the ST. Louis GlObe-Dcmo-
crat. This is altogether q mistake, for,
although under certain conditions a
trace of the main principle of the deadly
poison can be found in peach stones,
there is not sufficient to produce the
acid without other essential ingredients.
Indeed, without the process of fer
mcntaticn, there is no evidence at all
of prussic acid in the stones. Prussic
acid is composed of such things as ami
NAL refuse and blood solids, with large
quantities of oil of vitriol. Even the
smell of tho acid produces pain in the
throat and in the region of the heart.
and there are few poisons for which
there is such little opportunity for an

seldom is, for the poison is almost in

Difficulties of Our Language.

''It is unusual for person who goes
into foreign country after he has
grown to adult years to acquire the
language of that country well enough
to conceal his alien origin, but there
are exceptions. There is a German in
New York." says the Sun of that city,
''who has been here only six years who
speaks English without q trace of &C
cent, although he never studied the
tongue until he arrived in America. A
professor of French in this city says
that Englishmen and Americans betray
themselves more by stress on the letter
when they try to talk his language
than in any other way. Frenchmen are
more 'stumped' by the sound of til thar

nounce anything in our tongue, was

TURKEY HUNTING IN ARIZONA.
The Crest Slaughter just Before Thanks
glving Day.


The Greet Slaughter just Before Thanks
glvinG Day.
The Arizona bill of fare is too apt to
contain only the items bacon, beans,
hard bread, tlapjaclls and coffee three
hundred and sixty-four days in the
year Thanksgiving is the exception,
and no dinner is complete on that day
without Il turkey to remind the miner,
proSpcctor or ranchman of the old
home in the cast. In the southeastern
section of the territory there is n creek
called Rio Pricto, and niclnamed the
''Turllcy river" 1t is the only place
within about two hundred miles where
wild turkeys abound, but then there
are enough of them in the narrow val
Icy to stock state.
Just before Thanksgiving this valley
is filed with hunters from every part
of the territory, and tho slaughter is
very great; but it takes place only
once a year, and the ranks will be filled
up next spring and summer. Some of
the hunters come so far that they
have to make ''jcrlly" OF the turkey
meat in order to get it homo. Aminer
must be very fond of turkey when he
| will travel one hundred miles for it,
and then take it in the shape of saltcd
and sun-dricd strips and shrcds, and
usually fried in n gravy of bacon,
| grease and flour.
These turkeys arc very large birds,
as half dozen are about as much as a
pacll-mulc can carry out of the valley.
Old-timers say that gobblcrs weighing
thirty pounds have been taken out of
