A local paper OF Moravia, Cayuga
county, New York, says that George
Dumore, prosperous farmer, who
has been a resident of that town
nearly eighty years, has never been
out side of the township. The we'll
known villages of Cortland, Homer,
Genera and Aurora are within ten
miles of Moravia, but Farmer Du-
more has never been in either one
OF them. He has brother and a
sister who have lived eight miles
from his farm for over sixty years,
and he has not seen either of them
for forty-ive years. A neighbor Of
Mr.. Dumore's, Nathan Tuthill, "A
years old, has lived in Moravia fifty
years, and he was never inside
the village tavern or postoffice. He
has lived half a century in one
house, and never slept or ate meal
in any other house. He never tast-
ed liquor, beer or tobacco, and never
wrote letter or signed a note OF
other obligation. Another neighbor
of Dumore IS Seth R. Webb, aged
80 years, who has been town clerk
for fifty>four consecutive years.

The reason why some towns grow
is because there are some men OF
energy and push in them, who are
not afraid to spend their time and
money to push their town. They
erect substantial buildings, organize
stock companies and establish tac.
tories, work for public improvements
and use every means in their power
to induce the people to locate in
their city. Wherever they go they
tell of the advantages of their town;
they write about it to their friends,
they send circulars and newspapers
to all whom they think they can in
duce to visit the town; and when
any one visits them treat him so
kindly that he falls in love with
them and their town at once. 1t is
enterprise and every one pulling to-
gether that makes a progressive
town, and don't let the fact escape
your memory.-LaGrange Graphic.

RE-ESTABLISHMENT
Of the Georgia Military
Institute
IN MARIETTA AGAIN AGITATED.
Prof. Charles M. Neel, Distinguished
Teacher, Wants to Come Here.
What Say Our Citizens,

Many OF our citizens remember
when the Georgia Military Institute
tlourished in Marietta, and occupied
the beautiful site on College Hill,
on Powder Springs street. There
were magnificent brick buildings,
cottages, &C., there, while the num-
Der of cadets IL attendance number
ed several hundred. The Institute
was fostered by the state and was a
credit to the public spirit of our
people. Hundreds of young men
were graduated there, and many of
them are scattered all over Georgia
and the South, while others fell in
battle during the late war. Gen.
Sherman's torch destroyed the build
ings and the Institute has never
been re-established, only in name
by Prof. G. M. Neel at Kirkwood,
near Atlanta. Now this distinguish
ed teacher realizes that Marietta,
so advantageously situated, is the
place for the Institute, and he wants
to come here. He wants to know if
our people want him to come here
and re-establish the old Institute
and what help are they willing to
extend. The following correspond
ence, on that line, explains itself:
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. %, 1894.
Mr.. w. S. n. Neal-Editor, Ma.
rietta, Ga.-Dear Sir: al herewith
enclose you copy of letter which l
yesterday received from Prof. Chas.
NJ. Neel, who is now at the head of
the Georgia Military Institute near
Atlanta. Would suggest that you
bring this matter to the attention of
the public through the Marietta
Journal, lnasmuch as believe that
the establishment of the old insti-
tute at Marietta would be of great
benefit to the city. Very truly
yours, JOS. M. Brown.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 10, 1894.
Mr.. Jos M. Brown, Marietta, Ca,
Dear Sir Il have thought for sever
al years that the Georgia Military
Institute should be established at
Marietta. Knowing that you are a
public-spirited man, | write to you
to inquire if you think the enter
prise would receive financial assist
ance from the town or from private
individuals. | have good property
here valued at more than $4,000,
but the proximity to the city and
other circumstances make it advis.
able to change the location of the
school. Hoping to hear from you,
am, yours respectfully,
CHARLES M. NEEL.
Now what are our people willing
to do to encourage this desirable
educational institution to come and
once more, become a tower Of
strength and the pride of Georgia
and great benefit to Marietta? We
need it to graduate our boys and fit
them for the duties of life.
We trust the Board of Trade will
take action on the matter and COM
municase with Prot. Neel, through
MIR. Joseph M. Brown, and that
some means may be devised whereby
the Georgia Military Institute may
be established at Marietta.

WAGES TAKE AN UPWARD TURN.


| Mr.. Andrew Carnegie said some
time ago that the manufacturing in
dustries of this country would be
able to make reasonable profits un-
der the Wilson bill. A great many
other protected manufacturers took
issue with him on the matter, and,
together with the protectionist poll.
ticians and newspapers, started in to
prove thai he was wrong; that the
mere suggestion of the Wilson bill
was sufficient to smash industries.
They ordered wages slashed and
mills closed, all the while crying
havoc, in order to brighten working
men, intimidate congressman, and
possibly save McKinleyism from
humiliation.
But their bluff has tailed, says the
Savannah News. The Wilson bill
has passed one house Of congress
and will pass the other; and bust
ness is improving steadily, notwith-
standing the efforts of the protec-
tionists to smother it.
And, better still, wages are inn
proving in the face of the Wilson
blll-tho terrible ogre that the pro-
tectlonists vowed would devour
wage-earners, boots and all
A few days ago we noted the fact
that SilbermanL' silk factory, in
New Jersey, had granted it's en-
ployes an advance of 20 per cent. in
wages. This has been followed by
the announcement that the Frank &
Dugan mills, at Paterson, N. j.,
have raised the wages of their en-
ployes % per cent, and that tour
other mills in the same city will fol-
low suit
These facts are sledge hammer
blows to silence the protectionists,
but there is yet more to be told.
Not only have the textile workers
of New Jersey been tavorably effect
ed by the collapse of the protection
ists' bluff, bat the wages of the
workers in the great iron industry
have taken an upward turn.
Twelve foundry firms at Cleveland
o., decided on Thursday last upon
paying a scale of wages 10 per cent
higher than they have been holding
out for! And the remaining foun-
dry firms in the city will meet the
advance.
The advance, it is true, merely
replaces wages where they were
when the foundrymen cut wages
because Of the Wilson BILL" never
theless, it is an Advance, ana proves
beyond refutation that the Wilson
bill had nothing to do with the re-
duction in the first place. The
employees refused to be bluffed, anG
the manufacturers restored their
wages.
Add to these facts the further
facts that in Pennsylvania alone,
since the House passed the Wilson
bill, some s18,000,000 increase ha:
been made in tue capital of iron and
steel manufacturing concerns, and
that mines and mills of Alabama.
West Virginia, Maryland and every
other mining and manufacturing
state, have resumed business-add
all these facts together, and what
becomes of the protectionist calamity
howl?

CHARLESTON, Jan. 8.-Some excite

the presence in this city of several Off
GERS of the United States army, and the
sensational reports that have been put
in circulation concerning their mission.
1t is said that the Washington authori-

enemies Of the Brazilian government are
to forward supplies to Admiral De Mello
from some point of the South Carolina
coast and that seven or eight army off
GERS have been stationed along the coast
to prevent the contamination of the

Charleston on Friday last, and four
more have located at as many nearby
coast towns, where they are keeping
close watch on incoming and outgo-
ing vessels.

The Senate Programme.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The principal
item OF the senate programme for the
week has been agreed upon. It is to be
the consider alton of the federal election
bill, which is to be taken up after the
conclusion of the morning business on
Tuesday. This programme, like all
other prearrangements in the senate, is
subject to change, but it is believed that
it will be practically observed in this in
stance except in one contingency. It is
barely possible that the affairs of Ha-
wall may again demand the attention of
the senate to the exclusion of all other
subjects for at least portion of the
week.

AFTER HIDDEN TREASURE.

An rExpeditiss Being Fitted Up Fer .
Visit to the South Seas.
VALPARAISO, Ind, Jan. 8.-Charles
Henderson of Welltown, O., is making
arrangements to sail February 18th
from Philadelphia to the South Seas to
secure hidden treasure which he buried
on an island near the South American
coast. He wrote to friend here to join
the expedition. Before the war Hender-
son was sub-officer on slave vessel
making regular trips to Africa. One
day the vessel was attacked by United
States man-of-war and in their efforts to
escape, struck rock and the crew had
to take to their boats. The captain told
Henderson that he had
87s, 900 in Gold Aboard.
and if he would assist him in secreting
it from the crew he would give him
half. They reached the island and
buried the gold in cave. The captain
and four of the crew died of smallpox
two weeks later, and while trying to
leave the island the boat capsized,
drowning all but Henderson and one
companion, who were picked up by a
passing vessel and carried to New Or
leans. He lately has fallen heir to a
legacy of $4,000 in Philadelphia, and
has purchased vessel. The party will
sail under passport as a party of
American excursionists to visit all places
in the south seas.

Wei Known San Franciscan Killed for

SAN Francisco, Jan. 8.-A sensational
murder occurred here during the after
noon. Harry G. Pool, q young man
well known about town and Of a we'll.
TODD family, was shot and almost in
stantly killed by Mrs. Shattuck, the
aged mother of Estrulia Shattuck, a
young and pretty chorus girl at the
Tivoi opera house. Young Pool was
summoned to Mrs. Shattuck's house on
Stevenson street where the girls mother
met him and demanded that he marry
Miss Shattuck at once. Pool refused,
and Mrs. Shattuck put a pistol to his

Mysteries and unable to talk. Speaking
of Miss Shattuck's appearance with the
Tivoi company as leader of the Amazon
march in "The Island of Jewels" The
Examiner says: "The pleasing young
person with sword who leads this
march is perhaps as much entitled as
anyone to wear the title The California
Venus as she was the model of the
crowning figure in the midwinter fair
fountain in the Sunset City, and her fac
simile in staff will stand amid the fall
ing drops of water in front of the adj
ministration building as sample of
what California can produce in the way
of female beauty"

CONTEST BECOMING INTERESTING,
Strength Of the Various Candi-
dates on the First Ballot
Guessed At.

DIES MONIES, Jan. S.-The senatorial
canvass progresses in lively style. All
headquarters are open and supporters
working hard. A committee consisting
of one representative of each candidate
has been comforting, trying to fix date
for the caucus. The friends of Gear
want an early date, as they feel conf
dent their man will win if the caucus is
held soon. Next Wednesday is the date
favored by them. The managers of the
various candidates are not giving out
figures yet, but estimates have been
made by several. From a variety of
sources, mostly from friends pretty
close to candidates, the following is
given as to the vote on the first ballot:
j. II. Gear, IS to ~; w. P. Hepburn,
% to 81; A. B. Cummins, Is; G.. D. Per-
kins, IS; J. Y. Stone, 10 to Is; J. F.
Lacey, 9. Gear will have all the First
congressional district to start with, as
he lives in that district. Then he is
strong in the Third and Fourth districts,
which are in the northern and eastern
parts of the state. In the Second dis
trict are three Republican votes, and
these will 60 to Gear. He will also di-
vide the vote in the Fifth district. Hep
burn comes from the Eighth district,
and, in addition to having solid district
vote, every state senator and representa-
tive being Republican, will draw on the
Tenth. Cummins will have the Seventh
district vote and part of the Fifth.
Lacey will have to depend on the Sixth
district. Stone has number of sup
porters in the Tenth district and the
solid support of the Ninth.

LAMoREAUx's REPORT.

Has

What tho Land Commissioners Has
Learned About Chippewa Pine.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Commissioner
Lomoreaux has submitted his report on
the progress of the work of estimating
the pine on the Chippewa reservations
in Minnesota. The work of the force
appointed by this administration up to
date is reviewed, showing that four
townships at White Earth have been es-
timated and about one-fifth of the Red
lake reservation. There is enough of
work to occupy several years more, and
the commissioner makes two recommen-
dations, which he thinks will be an i'm
prOvement on the present system. One
is that the number of estimators be
largely increased, and the ether is that
congress be asked to amend the law which
provides that none of the Indian pine
shall be sold until it is all estimated.
He calls attention to the face that fire.
quently fires occur which not only de-
stroy much valuable timber, but render
valueless many of the estimates. If the
timber could be sold as fast as it is es-
timated both these difficulties would be
reduced to the minimum.
Secretary Smith appointed another
Georgia estimator. He is Robert E.
Reid, and he is to be assistant chief ex-
aminer, and will draw s. per day. Reid
is farmer, personal friend of the Sec
rotary and has served several terms in
the Georgia legislature.

Terrific Explosion of Turpentine at
Flint, Mich.
FLINT, Mich, Jan. S.-The hardware
store of J. B. Wilson was blown up by
terrific explosion at 800 a. m. The
building was unroofed and completely
Quilted, and the fronts of nearly all the
other stores in the block were blown
out. The explosion shook the whole
town and strewed debris far and wide.
It is believed that the explosion, which
was Immediately succeeded by fire, took
place in the rear part of the basement of
the store, and that it was caused by an
explosion of quantity of turpentine.
Wilson's loss is $4,000, half covered by
insurance. A hall dozen other stores
in the block were badly racked and
many windows in the neighborhood
were broken. The total loss will prob
ably reach $500 The majority of in
dividual losses are fully covered by in

Unprecedented Number of Applications
for Pensions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. commissioner
Lochren is daily receiving an unprece-
denied number of applications to have
pension claims made special by reason
of the fact that the claimants are in dis
tressed circumstances and in urgent
need of help. Never before in the his
tory of the Office has there been so much
suffering among old soldiers, and the
commissioner is doing his utmost to re-
leve them. Every case that comes to
his attention is made special, and if it
be found that the claim is a good one it
is Immediately allowed. Many cases
have been taken out of their regular
turn, examined and allowed within AZ
hours.
