BUSINESS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Perhaps the most conspicuous favorable feature of the general trade situation is found in numerous reports from merchants and manufacturers throughout the country of a disposition to regard the business out look more encouragingly and with in- creased con fidence ofan early improvement in trade. Even in many portions of the south and southwest advices from the inte- an increased volume of business, based on favorable weather and large crops. This is ,e more striking in view of the continued reports of the unfavorable effect on trade south on account of the low price of cotton. From Georgia it is learned that fertilizer manufacturers have arranged to curtail tier Gntnut next season; in some instances a. much as G-per- cent.
 Among larger eastern cities Philadel- phia, Pittsburg and Buffalo report mod. crate improvement in some com mercial and manufacturing lines.
 E Among southern cities New Orleans re = ports relatively the greatest gain in volume of business, notably in groceries, shoes and dry goods, and improvement ia noted at Memphis and a good volume at Jackson vile also.
 The least favorable southern report is from Galveston, with collections quite un- satis factory and some interior merchants asking for extensions. Chattanooga, too, reports trade duller and collections slower, due to cotton being withheld from market. There is fair movement of merchandise at Atlanta and Savannah, but at Augusta jobbing is dull.
 Business in most lines is reported very quiet at Birmingham and Charleston, and, except for holiday goods at Nashville.

GUILTY AND NO MERCY.
William J. Meyers So Adjudged by Jury of His Countrymen on a
 Charge of Murder.

ATLANTA, Nov. 16.-William J. Meyers, the boy still in his teens who was charged with the murder of Forest L. Crowley, was found guilty this afternoon. There was no recommendation to mercy. Judge Clark concluded his charge at p. ID. At 4:20 o'clock the jurors filed into the court room and minute later their verdict was read.
 Scarcely any one left the room while the jury was out. Five hundred spectators were crowded in the room. They felt that they would not have long to wait. Many women were in the crowd. When the verdict was announced some of them sobbed.
 They synpathized with the 1S- year. old murderer. Meyers is a fine looking fellow. He was member of the clty's crack mill itary company, the Gate City Guard, and in bis uniform used to present dashing figure.
 The prisoner took the verdict without apparent emotion. His father, who sat beside him. held the boy by one hand. The elder Meyers quivered as though shaken by a chill when the clerk of the court read . "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty.''
 The son looked once Into his father's face and then his eyes seemed to be looking into space. He did not utter word. His lips did not tremble. He seemed to be pre- pared for the verdict

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the worlds best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
 Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of perfect lax ative effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and feyers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.
 Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in soc and $1 bottles, but it is man. ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Go. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being we'll informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

DESIGN FOR PALMARIUM, OR FRENCH PALACE will be but 99 acres, which, though larger by 83 acres than that used in 1889 still seems small indeed compared with the grounds at Chicago.
 Nevertheless the fair will include the Champ de Mars, the Invalides, the Palais de l'Industrie, the Trocadero, part of the Seine, which will be covered during the fair, and even a small part of the Champ Elysees. This covers a region almost in the center of Paris, and yet the work must be done in manner to not interfere with the traffic or even the habits of the Parisians and the yearly throng of visit- ors. For these reasons it must be begun early, and the construction of the main buildings must be under way in 1897. Paris Is still we'll stocked with dainI., re- mains of the various fairs held since Ma poleon III started the system, but this time the commissioners have decided to follow tho Chicago example and have all the structures of light material and easily removable. se
 There will be no department of public ity and promotion as at Chicago. NJ. Picard smiled somewhat sarcasticalIy when one was suggested to him by an American journalist and declared that Paris advertised herself. He thinks the usual overtures to other governments and the announcement that this fair is to be complete representation of French genius and progress will be enough.

THE WORLDS EXPOSITION OF 1900.

THE WORLDS EXPOSITION OF 1900. Paris Proposes to Close the Century In a
 Blaze of Glory.
 Already the French are getting warm in anticipation of the great fair of 1900, which Is to close the century in blaze of glory. The great fair is regular thing, coming every II years, and thus far each has far outdone It's predecessor, so it will be no easy matter to make the coming one excel all others The same ground is to be used as in 1889, but not necessarily the same buildings. In fact, the commits sioners now contemplate removing all the old structures with view to novel and more impressive architectural effects.
 The commissioner general of the exposi- tion is one of the presidents of the coun- oil of state, being regular official of the French government about of the same rank as head of department or assistant secretary of state in Washington. M. Picard, who now holds the office, an- nounces that $50 architects are now com peting in plans for the buildings and ar- rangement of the grounds where in 1889 only 100 competed Ten thousand dollars in prizes will be distributed among them, but the best plan, while it will gain the prize, will not necessarily be followed. Tho commissioners design to make the build- ings general expression of French archi- tectural genius. The entire space occupied

THE CLOSING CENTURY.

AS one who, reused from sleep, hears far away The closing strokes of some cathedral bell Tolling the hour, strives all in vain to tell If denser grows the night or pales the day, So we, reused to lifes brief existence, say (We on whose waking falls century knell). Is this the deepening dusk Of years, the fell And solemn midnight, or the morning gray2 We stir, then sleep again-a little sleepl (Howbeit undisturbed by another's ringr For though measured with time, a century Is but a vanished hour tolled on the deep, Yet what is time itself? Iris but a swing Of the vast pendulum of eternity.

l NEW ORLEANS, Nov. Is. All of the dele gates to the general assembly were present when Master Workman Sovereign called the afternoon session to order at 2 o'clock.

Y, $2000, and other smaller properties, aggre- gating in the whole about $95, GOO.
 The committee on laws made their report, which was referred to the committee on distribution to be presented to the sub- committees.
 A few minor changes were made h the preamble of the order, but the motion to elect grand officers for two terms of two years each was defeated by a large ma jority.
 A congratulatory telegram was sent to the National grange, now in convention at Springfield, Ill.
 Interest Is now centering in the election of officers, which will not be taken up un- til the latter part of the session. Past Mas ter Workman Terrence V. Powderly Is now on the field and has strong following against the present. incumbent. MT.
