NEW YoRK,s DANGER.

Considerable alarm is expressed on
the part of those having charge of the
New York fire department, and by the
merchants of that city at the INSULT
cheney acknowledgements in the supply
pipes and mains during the busy hours
of the day. A test was recently made Of
more than a hundred hydrants, with
the result of finding a pressure as low
as five pounds to the square inch in
some instances. and in quite a number
of cases the pressure was less than %
pounds TO the inch.
In the opinion Of Fire Commissioner
Sheffield. with no greater pressure than
that found. it would be exceedingly diff
cult to throw water into the upper floors
Of the ordinary mercantile buildings
and ne ahirms that Of the many build
iugs Of ten stories or threabouts that
have recently been erected, all but the
five lower floors would be practically
beyond the range Of water from the
engines.
This state of affairs in any other city
would cause a panic, at least among tho
fire underwriters.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS
OF President Chapman, of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union.

OF President Chapman, or the bapllsI
Young Peoples Union.
Baltimore, Nd, July 21-Following
is the annual address of President Chap
man at the B. Y. p. U. convention.
These words have become proverb:
IF you wish to please the parent no.
tice the children and | suppose it is
thus that no guest is so welcome in a
home as the friends q the young peopla
of that home.
Il come once more as your unworthy
representative and attempt in my own
way, altogether inadequate to the inn
portance of our beloved organization,
to forecast the hope and ideals Of the
year to come
This is not a man-led organization;
there is no hand strong enough to guido
the mighty force represented here, but
the hand Of the Divine Master Of whOnS
the spirit said: OF the increase of His
government there shall be no end.
There is no wisdom great enough to
guide your policy but the wisdom shin
ing from the pages of Nlis credit book
and so it is meet that It's precepts should
furnish our motto for each new year
and its CLEANS of truth point us all in
the highway of effectual effort for the
year to come. / would give you for
your guiding thought as We face the
duties of the coming year, the words OF
Christ, recorded in the eighth chapter
of John and the twelfth verse: I am tho
light of the world.

EN-PuLLMANIrEs' NEW HOME.
Crowded out During the Great Strike
Thev Sock the South.

Crowded out During the Great Strike,
They Seek the South.
New Orleans, July PA party Of eX-
employees from Pullman. who were
crowded out Of that town by the great
railroad strike. arrived here to-day from
Chicago over the Illinois Central and
settled fin s.. Charles Parish, just above
New Orleans.
Some of The heads Of the American
Railway Union, including Vice President
Howard came here last year, visiting
Alabama and other States on the way,
seeking for sites for homes for some Of
the Pullman families, where they could
begin life anew. The HOmeseekers'
Association of Chicago also took the
matter up and has been corresponding
with Louisiana people and sending
emissaries here in the same interest.
Some time ago q committee from the
Pullman colony came to Louisiana and,
among other places, visited 81. Charles
Parish. They were delighted with the
country and the climate and enthused
over the prospects of farming life in the
South. and several places in ST. Charles
were selected to make the experiment.
Employment has been secured in st.
Charles for those who are on their way
here to-day. and these men have agreed
TO stick together for at least six months
and give farming in the South fair
trial. Some of the men will 30 to work
I'm the sawmins i'm st. Charles and will
gradually clear the land, going into
truck farming business.

The fact that the Sistersville field is
gradually falling off in production in
spite of the fact that a large number
of new wells are being drilled in every
month has been patent for some time,
but it is not likely that many persons
know exactly how enormously it has
declined. Below will be found table
showing the production for the weeks
ending July 10, 1895 and 1894. The
table appended only shows the falling
off in the receipts of one of the pipe
lines-the Eureka-as it was impossible
to secure the figures of the other line:

TO-DAY's CONTEST
Between the Defend and vigilant Arous-
Ing Great Interest.

Ing Great Interest.
New York. July 21.-When the Vigi-
liant meets the Defender tomorrow she
will carry a larger club to her sail than
that under which she appeared yester-
day. She will also have a bigger bal
loon jib to her sail and it is fair TO pre-
sumo that the sail area added by these
changes will assist no little in sending
the yacht through the water faster than
she went yesterday.
Yachtsmen are hoping that to-mor-
rows event will take place in a stiff
breeze, if not blow. for nobody knows
definitely what the Defender can do in a
wind
Mr.. Willard, who has charge of the
Vigilant, was willing to admit to-day
that his boat was outsailed yesterday,
but he holds the opinion that he can
still give the new boat a closer race. All
the sailors who have hitherto been in
sistent that the center board model was
superior to the keel. point to the fact
that never before was a center board
beaten by keel, and declare that there
must be a further test before they will
confess the defeat

BEARS FAITHFUL VIGIL.
Found Crouchinc over the Corpse of His
Dead Master.


New Orleans. La. July 21-A hunter
who was hunting in the back portion
of Harrison county, Miss, a few days
ago. M Daisy. some thirty miles from
Scranton. came upon the corpse of a
man. over which a large white bear
was crouching. The bear grOwled and
rushed on the hunter, who fired, killing
the animal The body was found to ba
badly muulatcd. but not devoured. The
hunter reported the matter, and it was
found that the dead man was Joseph
Souquet. a Frenchman, recently from
New Orleans. who was travelling
through the country with a tame dane
ing bear giving exhibitions. The huns
ter was under the delusiOn that the
bear had killed Souquet, but all the
indications now are that the man was
murdered by robbers as the country
where he was killed is wild, sparcely
settled and somewhat lawless, and the
satchel which he carried with him, and
which contained q considerable sum Of
money. is missing. The bear was a
very tame one and. as SOuQuet declared,
"a brother TO him. Ii was probably
watching over the body of the murdered
man when the hunter came up, and mis-
took him for one of his masters assail-
ants. SOuQuet was 50 years Of age and
from MWseilles. France.

The Republican leaders are becoming
afraid of the next Overwhelmingly Re
publican Congress. Already they have
begun to disclaim a majority Of the
next United States Senate. This looks
odd. in view if their loud and vociferous
boasts OF a majority in that body after
the elections last year; but the truth is
they do not wish to assume the re-
sponsibuity which a majority would in
volve. and so they viii claim they do
not control the Senate. To is suggested
that q party that does not wish TO as
sumo the responsibility of its acts
ought not TO be entrusted with any re-
spCnsibility.

Washington. ID. c., July 21.-The Dis

These lands were bought at public
auction in 1883, at prices largely in
excess of their appraised value. One
fourth of the purchase money was paid
down. and the rest made payable in
one. two and three years, at five per
cent interest Congress twice extend
ed the time of payment of these de-
derred amounts for two years each

600 acres have been leased by Samuel

themselves and others, who will put
down several wells at once. The money
has been raised and machinery bought,
so that before many weeks it will be
pretty well determined whether there
is oil in CLAY or not.

As will be seen by the table there are
but two days in the week this year that
the production was in excess of that on
the same day in 1894. The average fall
ing off per day for the week is 4,013
barrels, while the total decline for the
entire week amounts to 2S,0SS barrels
This decline has been gradual and has
not been noticeable to the majority of
the people, but as this field is conceded
to be the largest in the wOrld,i it has been
noticed with much apprehension by the
pipe line companies as they are greatly
in need of the oil. 1t is evident that un-
less a large pool is discovered within six
months or year there will not be much
of a production in this field two years
from now.

OUR SOUTHERN POETS.
THE SOUTHERN HoMESTEAD'S ASSERTION
Of Doubtful Veracity-Honor to a Home Poet. He Bears His Flushing HonOrs Thick
 Upon Him-The Coming Even

The south and Birming gham especially, is becoming known abroad, not only in a material, but in a mental sense. As mind is superior to matter so it is more honorable to be known for the former than the latter. The Southern Homestead for April monthly magazine published at Atlanta, contains quite an extended review of southern poets. Of Miss Ruby Beryl Kyle it says in the sketch accom- panying her portrait: "She has just completed novel on national finance, written under contract for the Coin Pub fishing company of Chicago"
 Of Dr. Peck, it says: Samuel Min turn Peck of Tuskaloosa Ala, is recog- niZed in the north and in England as a gifted poet, but is hardly known in Ala bama, much less in the whole south. v This statement is of doubtful veracity, and is a surprise to all Alabamians who so much admire the poems of Dr. Peck. It is certainly not untrue to say that he is thoroughly well known in Alabama, especially among the ladies, for Peck is the poet of the boudoir.
 The Southern Homestead, however, re- deems itself in it's complimentary notice of Dr. O. T. Dozier of Birmingham. In speaking of his recent book of poems, "Foibles of Fancy and Rhymes of the Times" it says: "Throughout our wide range of literature, the pen songs which have enkindled the warmest emotions and stirred the most brisk ebullitions of humor, have been written by those who have made literature a mental pastime.
 "The professional poets, who write for fame and money, by their studied con- ventionaIity clothe their thoughts in a gorgeousnesS of concise measure and star-land imagination but they seldom possess that living personality charac- terstic of the heart-bred thoughts which at idle moments leap unbidden from the heart like songs of birds.
 "'Dr. Dozier is one of the favored few who was born with his heart attuned to the melody of the souls music. but he deemed it prudent to pave the streets rather than the clouds;" so he entered active life. and now has reached the &C., me of his profession.
 This beautiful volume of poems, lately published, carries the reader through memory's yielding airs back to the gloomy years of the sos, when he or his father was stopping Yankee bullets After being filled with patriotism for the cause which lost all but honor the read CT is brought back to the present fleet ing decades of the souths prosperity, and at Confederate veterans reunions and Memorial days he is privileged to ac- company our fair matrons and maidens as they carry womanS tribute of flowers and tears to deck the graves of the fall en brave. There unrivalled beauty pays her homage to unparalleled valor.
 Ere then the reader is the poets friend >pd arm in arm he is of affection. and, laden with beautiful, blooming flowers, he is conducted through the summerland of passion and into it's halcyon repose of love, into it's winter flower pit where for ecstatic hours he breathes the perfumed

He Thinks He's Emmy.

The advertising man for a certain so- called big dry goods house on the main street of this city must think he's very smart He inserted an advertisement last week among the news items so as to fool the public into reading it. People have lately learned, however to be sus- picious in such cases, so that they hur- riedly glance down the column and if they see the name of a patent medicine or business firm they stop right there. This alleged funny ad. man commenced by reference to living pictures, mixing them up with mems 50 cent neckwear for quarter. Just as if living pictures had any use for necktiesl Some were caught, but everybody was not. How ever, it is whispered about that large quantities of these same mems 50 cent ties for 20 cents are being disposed of at the Surprise Store. They say it's like giving away souvenirs at an opening, and the Surprise Store is getting a great reputation in the mems furnishing line
