STRIKES RETARDED IMPROVEMENT

STRIKES RETARDED IMPROVEMENT
The trade agencies can report but
little encouragement in the business
world during the past week. The strikes
are now largely responsible for much of
the depression, though the delay on the
tariff still continues to re.ard the re-
newal of accus toned activities. Dun

"The strikes begin to have a serious,

Intemperance Among Women.

Intemperance Among Women.
There is much said about the grow
ing habit of intemperance among wo-
men; perhaps more than the facts
would warrant. If this habit exists
it is owing to the fact that women are
often forced to perform domestic and
social duties under great physical suf-
fering, and by partaking of liquors for
temporary relief or little protraction
strength, the habit becomes necessity
If all ladies who suffer with complaints
peculiar to their sex, would take DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, they
would find natures restorative, and
the evil results of pernicious drugs and
liquors would be avoided. For all
cases Of nervous and general debility,
sleeplessness, spasms periodical pains
suppFessions and irregularities, it is the
only medicine so certain in curative
action that it can be guaranteed tc
benefit or cure or money returned.

By this time Sam could see the dark

that he could strike now by luffing

Report OF the AErlcuiUural bureau FOf
tho Week Ending July 23.
Boston, July 24-The following bull
letin for the week just ended is issued
by the New England weather service:
Hot and mostly fair weather has pre-.
vailed in the northern states during the
week, and the haying has been pushed
rapidly. In northern counties IL turns
out very we'll, and in the vicinity of Carl
bou, Aroostook county, Me-, it is reported
to be the largest hay crop ever gathered.
In the southeast counties in New
Hampshire potatoes have suffered from
drought, and few fields are past help
The crop is progressing well in Aroos-
took county, Me-; early ones are in the
market there. Corn is growing finely
with the warm weather, except in dry
places, in southern New Hampshire and
Vermont. Apples continue to fall from
the trees. Blackberries are ripening, and
will be plenty if wet weather prevails.
Pastures are holding their feed we'll.
The very serious drought in northeast
ern Massachusetts, has been well broken
for the time The rain was heaviest in
the section where it was evidently most
needed and great good has been done.
The loss from the dry weather will be
heavy to market gardeners especially;
thousands of dollars will not cover the
loss to them In summer vegetables. One
farmer near Boston reports that his loss
on onions alone will be over SO, 600.
In central and western Massachusetts
most fields of potatoes are green, and with
wet weather now they will improve very
much. Much haying has been done and
the greater part of the English hay has
been put in the best OF condition. The
outlook for the second crop is very poor
indeed, as the fields have been badly dried
Notwithstanding the local showers
over Rhode Island and Connecticut, more
rain is badly needed and most crops are
suffering, especially in southern and
eastern sections. Potatoes have probably
been damaged most of all crops in these
states, although market gardens have
been very badly injured Early potatoes,
unless on very wet ground, have been in
are reported not worth the digging In
Washington county. r. l., some early po-
tatoes have been dug and are below the
average. In Fairfield county, Conn,
some tops are still holding green, but the
tu bsrs have stopped growing. In good
many places the hopes that have been en-
tertained for the late potatoes have nearly
vanished, and the crop must be light.
In Westville. in New Haven county,
part of the market gardeners have taken
off their wagons and discharged part Of
their workmen, as they have little or
nothing to SELL Tobacco is reported very
uneven, late set piece failing to start we'll.

Does Not Appear to Be Thriving In the
Pine Tree State.
AUGUSTA, Me-, July 23.-From statistics
collected by S. w. Matthews, state COM
missioner of labor and industrial statis-
tics, it is seen that the condition of the
cotton industry of Maine, July l, showed
b general cut in wages, only two mills re-
porting the old rate. Eleven per cent
was the average reduction in working
hours and the reduction in working force
per cent. Pay rolls show a reduction in
gross earnings of 30 per cent
Returns received from AZ wooden mills
show that eight mills were idle July l,
throwing 1891 out of employment; 13
other mills were running snort crews,
and of the whole working force 3s per
cent are now idle. The loss in the earn
ing capacity of employees in the wooden

WELLMAN'S PARTY
Believed to Have Met Death In
the Frozen North.

Professor oyen and His Dog Found In a
Pitiable Plight on Danes Island-says
He Was Deserted by wellman.
LONDON, July 25 - Carl Swiers has
written a letter to The Standard, in
which he announces that he is in receipt
of advices from Norway that leave little
doubt that the Wellman Arctic expedi-
ton is lost.
Experienced skippsrs, just returned
from the Spitzbergen seas, express the
same opinion and Colonel Fielding, who
accompanied Captain Mares Arctic expe-
dition in 1875, shares this belief.
The Pail Mall Gazette is in receipt of
advices from Tromsoe. all confirming the
general belief in the fate of the expedi-
ton.
Mr.. Fielden, owner of the yacht Saide,
has received clews of Professor Oyen's dis
tress from Captain Johannsen of the
sloop Anna. Professor Oyen was left to
guard supplies to Danes island by Well
man. Mr.. Fieldsn instantly ordered the
Saide to Danes island, and she reached
that spot the next day. but only to be
welcomed BY the professors dog.
Oyen was found in his bed in an al
most dying condition. He had given up
all hops of ever seeing the face of hu-
man being again Upon q table In the
professorr quarters was found a letter
containing bitter reproaches against Well
man. whom he accused Of having left
him in the lureh- wellnans according
to. Professor Oxen. promised that a man
should stay with him and share his
frightful solitude. But, It appears, at the
last moment Wellman decided that a
man could not be spared. and so the pro-
fessor had to be content with the COM
pany of his faithful dog.
The Saide also reported that Professor
Oyen was so badly provisioned when he
was found that his early death was a
matter of certainty. But in spite of his
sufferings an the certainty that death
was lowering over him, the professor re-
fused to be taken off Danes island, insist
ing upon remaining there, faithful to his
trust, even though death was the result
of his continuing at his post of Arctic
aOlitude

the voters by vote Of l5492 to one of

"lower five," voted in goodly numbers
for the bill. The Meigs company will be-
