Mrs. Cleveland Guarded.

A special from Washington in to-
DAVIS New York Herald says:
President Cleveland is afraid thai
harm may come to his wife aud chill
dren, who are sumInering az Gray
Gables.
This is shown by his action in di
recting Secretary Carlisle to give IN
structions to the Secret Service
Bureau to have on duty ~ Gray
Gables during the stay OF his family
at that place, three detectives in The
employ of the government.
Orders to this effect were Issued
three weeks ago and there are nov
lettering around Gray Gables three
men who watch carefully every pas
serby, and who follow the babies
and Mrs. Cleveland whenever they
leave the family residence.
Upon the inauguration OF the IN
dustrial movement some months
ago, Mr.. Cleveland requested Secre
tary Carlisle to detail three Secret
Service detectives to guard the White
House, and he was SO pleased with
their behavior that he asked that
the same men should be ordered tC
Gray Gables to guard Mrs. CLEVELAND
and little Ruth and Esther.

apprehensive that some one may ut

Prosperity In the South.

The industrial enterprise of the
South seems to have reached an I'M
precedehted pitch, remarks the
Philadelphia Record, and yet our
contemporary is assured that there
are still greater things in store for
the Southern country than has yet
been developed. Despite the spleen
did activity of the past few months,
it says, the record for each new week
reveals q gain upon the last period.
Forty-one new industries are re
ported by the Tradesman, OF Chat
tanooga, Tom, for the week just
ended. Two of them, the Maxim
Powder and Torpedo Company, OF
Norfolk, Va, and an improvement
company at Little Rock, Ark, are
million dollar enterprises. The
Greensboro IN. CO. Iron and Steel
Company has been chartered, with
$500. 600 capital. Among the $780,
coo plants started have been a brick
aud tile company, at Gillett, Ark;
glass works at Central City, W. Va
powder works at Atlanta, Ga; tale
company at Asheville. n. c., and
lumber company at New Alexandra,
Va. A $4,000 cotton compress has
been built at Birmingham, Ala, a
5000 cotton mill at Monroe, LIZ,
and cotton mills at Pinevllle, n. c.,
and at Palestine and Corsicana,
Tex.
1t says that not only the cotton
crop, but all the Southern crops
promise WELD above the average,
both in amount and quality. The
farmers themselves are more gen
orally out OF debt than at any pre-
vlous time in recent years, and their
prosperity evidently means still
brighter DAYS in store for al the
South: Truly the South is blessed
in more ways than one.

Strike Declared Oil.

CHICAGO, August 6.-After q strug.
gle of forty days against the United
Railroads, the American Railway
Union in Chicago has declared of
the strike inaugurated in behalf OF
the Pullman employees.
Beginning this morning each mem
Der of the Union who responded to
the order to strike will be at,liberty
to resume work. The strike is off in
Chicago except among the employees
of the Santa Fe and the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois. To-day the strike
has been declared off along the entire
systems of railroads affected by the
recent movement.
At a meeting Of the delegates of the
twenty-four local labor unions af-
fliated with the American Railway
Union yesterday afternoon it was
voted to declare the strike OFF in
Chicago, except on the Santa Fe and
Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
The action was purely local and
the declaration does not even affect
Pullman. Neither President Debs
nor any OF the American Railway
Union national officials were present
at the meeting. In fact, President
Debs had left the city for Terre
Haute before it occurred.

The Liquor Question.

NORFOLK, Va, August 4.-Indica-
tions in this city point to the fact
that large share Of the liquor traf-
fio is about to be transferred from the
restaurants and saloons to chartered
clubs, in consequence OF which the
city and State will lose considerable
revenue, while the evil of intemper-
ance will not be lessened. Eleven
clubs have been chartered during
the past two or three days and it is
said that large number of others
will be chartered in the near future.
a decision OF the Court Of Appeals
some time ago established the right
Of the clubs to sell liquor without
paying the State or city for the priv
ilege, and in consequence of this de-
cislon the liquor trade is now being
diverted into new channel. This
action will interfere with the inten-
tions of the Prohibitionists to break
up Sunday drinking.

The Eastern Shore Agricultural
Fair had not closed at the time Of
going to press, but We have enough
data in our possession, to state that
It has been q success financially. The
attendance on the first day was larg-
Ter than on the same day in any pre-
vious year and the receipts of that
day and the following were better
than ever before on those days. The
receipts in the aggregate will be
larger, it is thought, than ever be-
fore Mt any Fair in the history OF the
Association. In other respects the
Fair was also success, notably in
the horse department. The races
each day were especially fine, inter
esting and satisfactory generally to
the visitors who like that kind of
amusement. In the agricultural de-
partment where much was not ex-
pected on account of the scarcity of
fruit and the earliness of the season,
there were many excellent exhibits,
especially OF sweet potatoes. The
ladies department while not up TO
the usual standard in quantity, con-
tanned many articles of rare merit.
An interesting feature Of the Fair
was the balloon ascension and para
chute drop on the third day. The
music was excellent and satisfactory
to everyone. Nothing occurred to
mar the exercises and better order
never prevailed. The officers labored
increasingly to give the people good
Fair and we believe that the Fair
generally will be voted q success.

Sixty Acres Burned Oyer In Chicago
Fire.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The sixty acres
OF the lumber district over which the
fire swept last night were still smoul-
dering today, but before daylight all
danger Of a spread Of the flames was
past. All over the district, between
Blue Island avenue and the river
and Robey street and Ashland ave-
nue., the yards were covered with
smoking piles Of lumber and wreck
ed buildings.Streams Of water were
poured over the ruins all day. The
total loss was estimated today at
CLOSE to Ss,OOO,OOO, and the burned
property was largely insured.
The total number OF men thrown
out OF employment by the fire is 1900
and the destruction was so complete
that it will be weeks before most OF
them can be given work by the firms
which suffered.

Congress has passed bill amend
ing the law establishing the life-sav-
ing service 80 as to have the stations
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts man
ned between August and May Of each
year and reducing the pay Of surfmen
from S65 to $50 per month. The bill
increasing the time is good one, but
the reason for the reduction in com.
pensation monthly does not appear
to us. Instead of reduction, the
arduous duties which the surimen
have to perform, entities them to an
increase. 1.-THE best government the
world ever saw" will do them full
justice only when they pay them SIS
per month for 10 months in each
year.

A Sweeping Democratic Victory.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August =
The returns sent last night are fully
confirmed. Oates and the Democrats
made heavy gains all over the State.
1t places his election beyond any
question and dispute. The Senate
will have at least eight Democratic
majority, and the House not less
than ten. The official vote will
make Oates's majority as much as
81, 900, and increase the Democratic
strength in both branches Of the
Legislature. The vote is short OF
1892 by 90, GOO or $4,000 on account OF
the new election law tried for the
first time. 1t is modelled on the Aus
tralian ballot system, and every vo
ter must prepare his own ballot.

are all favorable to an increased

Paper IcrsCshoeS.

When paper horseshoes were first
introduced into the cavalry service
of the German orLiy It few years ago
they excited Il good GeRi OF interest.
Several cavalry horses were first shoe
with the paper shoes and the effect
observed. II wGs found mat aot on

the shoe help The horse on the march
making il possible for him 10 travel
faster and farther without fatigue
than horses ohod with iron, bu; that
the paper shoe had the property OF
being unaffected by water and other
liquids. These new sheets OF paper
are pressed closely together, one
above another, and rendered impef-
vious to the moisture by the applica-
ton OF oil OF turpentine. The sheets
are glued together by Il sort OF paste
composed OF turpentine, whiting,
gum and linseed oil, and then sub
mitted to powerful hydraulic pres
sure. Paper horscshoes are also
made by grinding up the paper into
mass, combining 1t with turpen-
tine, sand, gum, litherage and certain
other substances, pressing It and af
forward drying it. But these shoes
are less tough and elastic than those
made of thin sheets OF paper laid one
upon another. These shoes are tas-
tened to the horses feet either by
means of nails or with a kind OF glue
made of coal tar and caoutchouc.
