Experiences of Woman Who Put on a
 Dfviup Suif

Experiences of a Woman Who Put a Diving Suit. See any fish? Yes, lots of them One of my first acts was to place my ffty-six- pound foot on prospective Fulton market crab. This made a crunching sound that boded poorly for the crusta- cean.
 Ambling about as airily as my sub, marine spring suit would permit, l bumped into something. Horrorsl Owing to the magnifying power of the water l was sure it was young whale. On dry land I would have shrieked. As it was l simply grasped the divers hand convulsively. I had eollided with 8 juvenile shark. who scurried away more frightened than l, and then turned and eyed Us from safe distance. Down among the waterY reaches of seaweed, out from the dark lurking places under the rocks and big stones l started up an occasional eel. and now and again l could perceive some big fish with large knowing, inquiling eyes peering at us out of the densely green banks of briny opaqueness.
 l was not bit afraid of an attack from any of these sea-monsters. fancy they would have found small satisfaction fastening their teeth in my brass-mounted, lead-weighted, vulcan. ized canvas suit.
 Suddenly the lifeline was ierl1ed in a questioning manner. promptly re, piled, and looked up expecting to see something above. But there was noth- ing but the great roof of the sea.
 0Presently the diver put his helmet arginst mine. l heard him distinctly say: Are you ready to get up yet?'' His voice sounded far. far away, but the articulation was quite distinct. It was like the voice of a ventriloquist at his pranks, and somewhat suggestive of the sounds one hears when under an anasthetie.
 It was with the greatest effort l final, ly answered back with all my strength: No, not yet"
 The sound of my voice fairly fright ened me as it echoed forth and back in my helmet. and served to remind me that l was still of the earth earthly. There was companionship in that brief conversation.
 When l had been down about fifteen minutes l found my breath becoming shorter and shorter and then present. ly a slow pain set in over the eyes. decided to return to the surface. May MereGes, in \. Y. World.

The DAILY GRAPHIC of the 18th inst. l,ublished lengthy article from the New Orleans Daily States on The Only Duty, which we com mended ssto the consideration of all thoughtful and rehecting people.
 The article in question elaborated upon the grave reasons the laboring men have to complain of the situ, ation, the aggrandizement of capital, tn. unreasonable growth of wealth, the birth Of the trust and combine and the unequal and unjust laws of our country in the oppression of the laboring man. The States also called attention to the fact that the work inc classes, who are the victims of this terrible system of oppression, are themselves largely responsible for it's inauguration and perpetu- ation by following the protective tariff system of the Republican party. which has oppressed the masses and enriched the classes, and by electing men to public places Who have legislated against their in ferests and deliberately voted this Ss1stem of oppression.

and that in brief time would be ended.
 After this dissertation upon the and urging the laboring men to be quiet, peaceable and or derly, and saying that no beneficial results could be accomplished by violence, arson and rapine, the very able article from the States closed as follows
 Men like Debs and Soverign are the worst enemies of labor They are not it's representatives. They are the advance heralds of the Man on Horseback '
 In it's reference to the Man on Horseback ' we presume the Stotes refers to the Napoleonic era and Napoleon Bonaparte's usurpation of the throne of France and the estab- lishment of the French Empire
 In this little quotation our esteemed evening contemporary feins to find sufficient provoeation for an indammatory tirade against the GRAPHIC, seeking thereby in the public excitement of the times to prejudice the laboring people against this newspaper We submit if such all effort is not strained and far fetched We did not know before that one newspaper was to be con demned for reproducing the senti- ments Of another And at all events, in fairness, the context of the article should have been published, and not merely a garbled extract.
 At all events, we cannot agree with the Commercial in some of tbt opinions it expresses in commenting upon the paragraph above men toned as to the responsibility fol the strike For instance, it says
 1t must, therefore, be the iajol HntoaS, if wrong is committed, wh( are detact0 and dejHle to blame fol the violations of the laws, if viola tions can be traced and proven to bt at their doors, and not, specifically the edjefs of these labor unions.
 In that opinion we cannot concur for we do not blame the labor aaioa for the hasty and if-advised strike the reckless waste of wages, the de struetion of property and the de moral.zation of the commercial aut industrial interests of the country. Had the labor 1pajo4s been consulted such a femefseless and cruel stril1e would have never been inaugurated and as ii was Debs action was re pudiated by many Of the labor unions of the country The majority of tht laboriug men had no grievances and they could see no reason in Sympathetic strike which cost thu wage earners S1 GOO, GOO for every three days il lasted, because of thl fact of difference between employer and employed in little town up il Illinois. Debs had nothing to lose by the strike, but ambitious to test the strength Of a new organization of which he was the father. ht plunged the country into strife ano turmoil and inaugarated a useless boycott which has cost the wage earners of the country millions ol dollars and much suffering, blood and tears
 But if any further evidence were lacking Of Debs' disregard of the in terests Of labor and as to his respon. sibilitg for the loss and suffering oi the strike, we find it in the follow ing paragraph, taken from the columns of the esteemed CoHmefcial of date July 6, 1894
 Debs was too nasty. We doubt his capacity and we are certain that he is a nervous and unsafe leader. All of his actions prove this, and a better and more diplomatic states manlike man ought to succeed him.

vertises to do thing, or sell goods

with when you go into their store,
then it does not pay to advertise.
We are careful of our statements.
We Never Advertise a 7 hing

which we do not quote when you
come into our house. We never
advertise an article whichs we do
not have in stock. We make no
promise : which we do not fulfill.
Last!week we advertised All Wool
Clay Suits in sacks and frocks at
$40 so. We advertised suits re-
duced from 800 to $500; suits re-
duced from $1,000 to $3.50; suits re-
duced from $3.50 to 5000, and SO.

reduction sale is still going on, and
many new and desirable lots have
been added. These goods have
been put at these prices to move
them quickly We have nothing
to conceal. We bought an enor-
nous stock, and the weather has
been dead against us. We have
sold more goods than we ever sold
at this season of the year, but NEST
ly heavy goods, and we have piles
and stacks of seasonable goods that
must go, and prices have been
made that will move them. We
positively will save you $500, to
$500, on a suit. Our goods are as
! Well Made and Trimmed
as any in the maket, and are much
better made and trimmed and fit
far better than goods sold by these
slop-shop,so called made to measure
people. We do not take your
measure and send it off, making
you believe it tailor-make, when, in
fact, the order you gave is sent to a
"snide" Baxter street clothing
house in New York, picked out of
the poorest ready-made clothing
stock, all alterations to make it as
near your measure having been
made by woman tailor, it's sent
down here as made to order goods
for which the buyer has to pay
S. 90 to 1900 more for no better fit
and often inferior goods than he
could have bought right hero in
Knoxville, with the delusion thai
he is wearing tailor-made goods

ENORMOUSLY EXCEED.
Local taxes in Virginia enormously exceed
State Taxes, and county taxes proper largely
exceed State taxes when compared, as only
they can be, with the amount of State taxes
levied upon the sources from which the coun-
ty taxes are raised. So that instead of Vir-
gnia's taxes being $3.50 per capita they are
S. IS, and instead of the sum total of her taxes
being 81, 450. 000 as given in the United States
census bulletin, it is S11, $50, 900. Of course
the usual cry about county expenses, impro-
per items of expense, railroad debt, interest,
and sinking fund will be raised in order to
confuse and miSlead, and also to hide the real
facts and the true facts, but it is hardly to be
supposed that the people Of Virginia will be
deceived by such complaints and cries. They
are burdened with taxes-unnecessary, eX-
travagant,i and useless taxes. No war Of
words, no fog of sophistry, and no cloud OF
concealment can hide this fact. 1t is for them
to say whether they shall have relief. OF
whether they will longer listen to the apo To-
gists and defenders of a system which was put
upon them by set Of aliens, carpet-bagge
and political vagabonds, which system was
then the subject of bitterest denunciation by
many of its present defenders. The spoil of
office and the fleshpots of Egypt have soften
ed the Indignation of many. l submit the
case to the people EUGENE WITHERs.
P. S.-Whatever errors have crept into any
of the above estimates are inadvertent and
unintentional. l was as careful as it was

I wish to call your attention to the fact that
the returns from these counties embrace all
taxes derived from real and personal proper
ty, incomes, capitations, and railroad and tel
egraph companies, while the figures given for
State taxes do not include the amounts deriv-
ed from railroad, telegraph, and telephone
companies. The total amount of taxes assess
ed on these companies by the State is $685.
24S 49, while the excess of county taxes over
State taxes in these twenty-seven counties
alone is $685.. 63O.14. should have included
in my comparisons for these twenty-seven
counties the State taxes from railroad, tele
graph, and Telephone companies had the Aud
tor's report shown the amount of taxes de.
rived per county from these sources. 1t should
be remembered that much Of the railroad.
and substantially all of the telegraph and
telephone taxes are assessed and collected in
the cities and towns OF the Commonwealth
No comparison is made with license taxes, for
the reason that no license-taXes are collected
by any county, to my knowledge. 1t is doubt
less true that the large part of the license
taxes of the State comes from the cities and
towns and not from the counties.
