THE Mississippi congress opened

gan syndicates bid for the entire new
issue of $50, 900, 900 per cent. bonds.
The figure offered by the syndicate
was 117.O77 on the 500 at the rate of
about 2% per cent. interest.
SEVEN men attempted in broad day
light to hold up a train near Bragg
station, I. T., on the Goth. but the en-
gineer pulled the throttle open and
ran ahead at full speed.
THE fires which have been raging in
the Okaw river bottom near Pana, Ill,
were reported under control on the

The annual report of superintendent
Stump, of the immigration bureau, for
the fiscal year ended June so shows a
falling off in the number of immi-

feat him in six rounds.
IMPORTANT steps are being taken by
the Chicl1asaws to repeal the law dis
franchising the inter-married citizens
or squaw men, and again enlisting
them as citizens. This must be done
in seIf-defense. The fact that the
freed men outnumber the tribe by
about 400, and would thus create polit-
zeal havoc, is opening the eyes of poor
Lo.

A Chinese Newspaper.

In Canton, by the way, is produced
the only independent Chinese news
paper printed in the empire. Others
printed in Hong Kong, which is out of
the jurisdiction of the emperor, some
times criticise his maiesty's govern
ment most severely, and use terms
which, if employed within his dominion,
would probably result in the propri-
etors, the editor, the staff, the compos-
itors, together with their families, be-
ing put to death, with various approved,
though inelegant, gradations of Tartar
barbarity. 1 had a long interview
with Mr.. Kwong XII Chiu. the proprie-
tor and editor of the Kwong Pao.( News
of Canton), who initiated me into
many of the details of Chinese news
paper publications. This paper has a
daily circulation of over three thousand,
and is posted to Cinnamon in all parts
of the world for a subscription OF
eight dollars yearly. O'Dris-

celona little more than year ago,
was executed in that city.
THE jury in the Jim Cook case at

FRANK E. GODFREY, acting assistant

THE trend of public feeling against
pugilism has been accentuated by the
recent death of one of the fraternity
after an exhibition bout upon the stage
of a theater. But while the public is
nursing its indignation against pugil-
ism and the prize ring, wouldn't it be
as we'll to devote a little thought to
the football field, whose dead victims
count as three to one of the prize fight
ers, not to mention the permanent in
juries received in the manly-rather
say brutal-sport of football as con-
Quoted under Rugby rules.

CONDITIONS.

The physician will not make visits outside
Cne cry UNITS, Inns oicket IS not transIeraoIe'
ploye, and must be returned as soon as the
term OF employment ceases. This privilege is
a free gift of the company and is no part of
the contract for wages. and may be made void
by the company, at its own option, without
notice.
This is a practical illustration of Mr.
Douglas idea, and viii surely be appre-
ciated by the hundreds who receive the
cards.
He says that he believes there are hun
dreds of wOrlkingmen and workingwome en-
who find doctors bill a great burden after
q period of enforced idleness, and that if
this Is lifted from them they must feel that
their employer is in terested in them in
some other way than simply to get all the
work he can for just as little money as he
can. He says also that there are men and
women who keep right at work when it
would be better for their health if they
would lay off dav or two and have med
ica1 attendance. Then again they will now
feel free to consult the doctor when they
nave slight troubles, which heretofore they
would not do because of the cost.
The plan goes into effect to-day. DR.. S. j.
Gruver has been engaged as the physician
and enters upon his duties tomorrow
The plan is good one.
Speaking of the w. L. Douglas Shoe Co.
it may be said that their factory is the only
one in the city where the principle of arbi-
tration is recognized and has full sway

quent as they are if manufacturers and
help would recognize this great principle,
and adopt it.
The firm obliges every man who is hired
to sign an agreement to submit any dis
agreement that may arise, and which can
not be settled by the interested parties, to
the state board of arbitration, the decision
of that board to be final and to be binding
on both sides. Pending a settlement of any
disagreement the men agree to continue
at work. This agreement went in force
December 10, 1883, and has worked well. 1t

Miss KATE FIELD, in her account of
the launch of the steamship st. Louis,
says: 1.-THE eastern press failed to do
Justice to Mayor Walbridge of St.
Louis, who spoke for his city. With
gold-rimmed spectacles and bald dome
shaped head, Mr.. Walbridge looks more
like Harvard professor than west
ern mayor. AS it is customary to pat
roni e the west and TO put strange Ian
guage in the mouths of its people,
take peculiar satisfaction in recording
that the best English spoken at the
banquet came from the west, and was
delivered in the best voice"

MONTREAL is to have a Worlds fair.
1t is to be held from May "a to October
81, 1896, and already an arrangement
has been made between the Montreal
Exhibition Co. and a London syndicate
to furnish the necessary funds. The
prime mover in the affair is Joseph FL.
Stiles, commissioner for Great Britain
to the California international exposi-
ton. A company has been Incorporated,
and the primary capital is $500, 900.

THE war is teaching the Chinese en-
peror a lesson which he has hitherto
stubbornly refused to learn. For the
first time he condescends to notice, per-
sonally, outrages committed by his
subjects upon alien residents in his do
main. An edict was issued October 24
and posted in the streets of Pezin an
nouncing that his majesty exercises the
same authoritative benevolence over
the foreign countries of the west as
that which he applies to his own.

ALL doubt as to Mgr. Satolli's coming
elevation to the cardinalate is now set
at rest by intelligence which has come
from Rome that the red hat for the pa
pal delegate in this country is now on
its way here, and that it will be con-
ferred on him on some date near the
feast of the Immaculate Conception,
which occurs on December s, in the old
cathedral at Baltimore, where the ses-
sions of the third plenary council were
held

A MOST important test to determine
the practicability OF discharging the

be there will be produced the most de-
structive implement of warfare yet
found by scientists.

THE tails of all the horses in the
presidents sta bles have been locked.
The discovery of the fact has caused
some excitement among that class of
persons who deprecate such a radical
departure from the long-tailed fashion
that has prevailed among the White
House horses since the days Of Thomas
Jefferson, and not little Indignation
among the members of the S. P. C. A.

TO AID employees.
A New Scheme OF the w. L Douelas Shoe
Gown Furnish Their Help with Med


icaf Attendance.
William L. Douglas, the president of the
world famed w L. Douglas Shoe CO., has
always had a great personal interest in the
army ofmen and women who inhabit the
great factory at Montelfo during the work
ing hours of the day, and who make the
greatly advertised 81 shoe.
He is great believer in the idea that
manufacturers should have this personal
interest in the condition of their employees,
and feels that If the idea is carried out to
the extent shat Is possible, that it will result
ultimately in the breaking down of the bar
riers which have been built up between en-
ployerS and those whom they employ. He
believes that the breaking down of these in
visible but strong barriers would be great
thing for everybody concerned, as it would
convince the workingmen that their en-
ployers were not their enemies, as some of
them seem to think now, but their friends.
with a desire to do all for them that was in
their power
Having strong feelings upon this point il
is only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give
the matter some study and acquaint him
self with the result of the trials of such
plans in other places. He is satisfied that
the scheme he has originated is good one
and he has now put it to practical test.
To-day he handed to every person in his
employ-and they form a small army-s
| card, a fac-simile of which is here given,

OUR new treaty with Japan recog-

sequel to the intimation of Commodore

But for that visit there would be no

MISCELLANEOUS.

AT their New Orleans convention, the
Knights of Labor passed resolution
protesting against the issue of the
$50, 900, 600 bonds by the government,
characterizing the same as an unmlti-
gated fraud and outrage upon the toll
ing masses, in fragrant violation of ex-
listing laws, and intended solely for the
interest of the money powers and a
bondhoading ar1stocracy.
