The industrial results OF the
Worlds Fair at Chicago are begin
ming to become manifest. It is said
that 8 number of foreign manufac-
turers of cooperage have made ar
rangements to obtain future supplies
of materials from this country and
Canada. It is reported that contracts
for ornamental woods grown in Cen
tral and South America have been
made by parties who build palace
cars, make fine furniture and furnish
fnishings for fine buildings. The
lumber produced in the Southern
States has attracted great attention,
and the trade in it will be increased
by the Fair. Many think that the
Fair will increase the value of timber
lands in the South.

And now come two scientists of
Havana, and endeavor to persuade
the world that the use of bank notes
is dangerous on account of the
baccilli with which money is infected.
They have recognized distinctly in
the bank notes examined by them,
eight pathogenic species, among
which were the bacillus of tubercu-
losis, that of diphtheria, and the
streptococcus of erysipelas. They
argue that the use of money is there
fore very perilous to life and inferen-
TALLY intimate that persons would do
well to refrain from using it. This
advice is kindly meant and so long as
tho financial stringency continues
will probably be needed by a great
many people in this country.

without any resistance secured all of

alarm could be given the robbers es-
capped and were on the way to the

Is possible they will succeed. Mound

Congressman Wilson of West Virgin
ia Thinks There Will be no Recess.

Representative Wilson, the distin-
guished West Virginia Legislator,
who is spoken of very frequently and
strongly urged by his friends as the
next chairman of, that most impor-
tant Of all Congressional Committees,
the Ways and Means, has arrived in
Washington and taken up his abode
in the Capital City awaiting the as
sembling of Congress on the 9TH Of
next month, now scarcely three weeks
distant. Mr.. Wilson proved an OBJ
ject of eager interest both to pOlit-
leans and newspaper men, throngs Of
whom beseiged him, on his arrival, in
a common endeavor to secure from
him full expression of his views on
the present complicated situation.
His eager questioners soon found the
West Virginian a very close mouthed
and conservative man on private or
personal affairs. In general conyer-
sation, on National topics, Mr.. Wilson
gave free expression of his opinions.
He says Mr.. Crisp will be the next
speaker of the House, but processes to
have no knowledge of the matter Of
the committee chairmanships. Re-
garding what is likely to be done at
the extra session of congress, Mr.. Will
son says 1t is likely the session will be
continuous and that no recess can be
taken. Under any circumstances,
however, the tariff question will be
considered. So soon as the commit
tee on ways and means is announced
the tariff will be taken up by them,
and even should there be q recess be-
fore the regular session in December,
the committee will continue to have
sessions for the consideration of the
new tariff law which the committee
will report to the house. The silver
question will come to the front at an
early date, but what legislation will
result, it Is impossible TO predict.
