From the Philadelphia Press
Il have suffered SO much at the hands of
the chrome fiend,'' said the girl bachelor
plaintively. IF You have ever moved
about any, you will know what I mean
only too well. They are the people who
cajole the landlord into getting new paper
for a room. and then, after short oc-
cupancy, leave it for the next conner with
the walls more or less covered with tacks
and nail holes, with a neat little bit of
plaster knocked out about each one. From
having been victim 50 often, 1 have de-
termined never to add to the number CT
these ruthless vandals. So whenever l find
it necessary to put a small unframed pic
ture or card on the wall, l attach it by
means of large lump of gold beeswaX,
and there it will stay until / wish to move
it to another position, and will leave behind
no tell-tale tracks, or tacks, of its presence
l may add, in whisper, by the way, that
when beeswaX fails me, have found chew
ing gum a pretty good substitute"

American Women and American Goods.

For some time there has been a grow
ing sentiment among the fashionable
classes to initiate the English. Occas.
ionally the English do something that
is worth initiating. Here is a case in
which the American Four Hundred
may perform a patriotic duty by imi.
tating English royalty: A few years
ago the royal family of Great Britain,
including especially the Princess of
Wales and the Princess Beatrice, de-
termined to set the taste of English
speaking women in the British domin-
ions and in America in favor of the va.
rieties of worsted goods and woolens
made of English long woods. They
did so in response to the earnest repre-
sensations of British wool growers and
wooden goods manufacturers that such
a course would be Of great national
advantage to British industries which
would otherwise be threatened with
early extinction.
In the matter of dress, both of men
and women, the aggregate of which at
least amounts to $1,000, 900, 900 year,
the influence of American women could
be made as potent as that of the royal
family of England has been in behalf
of England's long worsted woods. The
Wilson bill has caused a substitution
of foreign woods for domestic woods in
less than q year sufficient to produce
the slaughter of 5000, 900 sheep, about
an eighth of the total of American
fiocks. Importation of foreign woods
for 1894 is skiold the importation fol-
1893. The slaughter, unless arrested,
will be much geater next year. One
half of all American sheap are east OF
the Mississippi, and as many of them
are in the Southern as in the Northern
States. They are q by product oil

do not reduce shepherds aud shear
men to idiots as they do in Austria
liza and Buenos Ayres, are nearly a
net addition to the revenue of the far
mer who owns them, and their only
enemies are the wolves, the dogs and
Grover Cleveland. In the aggregate
they cover all varities needed for man
~ufacture, and especially all the finer
varieties. The Wilson German law
can not be repealed until a Republican
President shall be sworn in in March,
1897, by which date our hocks will be
reduced one half if that law has its de.
sired effect. If the women of America
will resolve to buy no more wooler
goods unless they are accompanied by
a manufacturers certificate that they
are made wholly of American wool in
an American factory they can do fol

family did for England The New Yorl

HALES SCHOOL HOUSE.

We are having some fine weather at
present; it seems that spring has come.
There will he plenty of fruit here unless
it is killed yet. Garden making is the
order of the day with the women. Mrs.
Charles Keener, who has been sick for
sometime, is improving. There was
preaching at Hales, March 81; Rev. j.
j. Robinett preached an excellent ser.
mon to a large congregation Sunday
morning; he is certainly a fine preacher
and we would be glad to have him
preach for us again in the neal future.
The Sunday School at this place is in
a flourishing condition. We also have
a good prayer meeting; let everybody
attend and may the good work go on.

like TO be a (Keener) instead of s. w.

bune finding its way to so many peo-
pie far aud near that are natives of
old East Tennessee. Anyone not &C
quaiuted with this part of the country
woul scarcely believe such a place ever
existed. The winter has been an un-
usually mild n SO far, being but lit.
tie snow and not a drop of rain. The
average rain fall is only fifteen inches
annually. The wind is the greatest
fault of this place; there are times that
it is impossible to face it, even for the
horses. On coming suddenly great
numbers of cattl perish on the ranches,
and often people are caught ndfrozen
to death. Really Uncle Sans blue
boys are best off when in barracks dur

turbed by the noted Coxeyite and the
striker, their pleasure must cease for a

ed by the tiller of the soil, the undis.
puted home of the coyette and gopher.
AS far as n car see it is one vast ex
panse of prairie, about eighty miles
from this place, plainly in sight, there
is perpetual snow on the Rockies. Chey-
enn, the capitol, and chief city, is an
interesting town of about II, 900 inhabi
tants-mixed very much with differ
ent nationalities. 1t is very quiet for
a Western town. Nice churches, and
is wonderfully adorned with saloons on
every corner of the richest fragrance.
The mystery is how the people live,
there being so little employment, but
little complaint is ever heard among
the poor. When there comes q calm
day boys, girls and old men and wo-
men turn out on bicycles and it is a
continuous procession to and from Fort
Russell, three miles distant, to see the
blue boys drill and parade; which is
very much enjoyed by all. The popu-
lation of Russell, including employees,
biscuit shooters and dear babies, of
which there is a well kept up number,
number $50 souls. Army life at pres
ent is very different from what you
think. They have most all kinds OF
amusements, dances, base bail and
various other things. The trouble il
there is not a sufficient number of the
fair sex for all to have one at the same
time, so one has to wait till his time
comes, although the more unfortunate
get impatient; such ones had best be al

man, was appointed to dispose of the
present poor farm and purchase one
within three miles of Jonesboro.
The committee appointed at January
term, 1895, to inquire into the expedi.
ency of making u change in tho loca.
ton of the county poor home, reported
as follows:
To the worshipful County Court, Wash
ington County:
Your committee visited the county
farm and made personal inspection of
the premises. We find the land in a
fair state of cultivation, we are reliably
Informed that there is contained in the
whole tract about 230 acres and is about
equally divided in cleared and wood
land. 1t is easy of access from the
main road, and lies in very good shape
and of smooth surface. The soil is thin,
but will produce perhaps an average
crop of the country. There is water at
n side of the farm only, near the
road. The timber is generally of young
growth, and is rapidly increasing each
year. Sizing it up generally your COM
mittee is OF opinion that the farm as q
whole should be worth at least S12 per
acre.
The location of the farm is remote,
being about eleven miles from Jones'
boro, and in the opinion of your com,
mittee, too far out of reach. So much
so as to preclude the necessary over
sight of the county officials, and that if
a proper valuation can be obtained for
the farm and a suitable location OBJ
tanned nearer the central part of the
county, such change is recommended,
but great caution should be taken all
along the line before such changes are
made. There is no necessity whatever
for SO much lands for "a poor house
farm as is embraced in this one, as it
can not be untitled to any benefit.
We therefore recommend that a
change be made to the end that it be
located say within a radius of three
miles from Jonesboro, and the premises
to consist of not exceeding fifty acres,
with suitable water supply, etc.

l. The love Of liquor.
II. Wanderlust-th love of wander
ing.
III. The county. jail, owing to the

iC IS wanderers with criminals.
". The tough and rough elements
in villages and towns.
Y. The comparatively innocent but
misguided pupils of the reform school.
Though not, properly speaking, a
:ause of vag bondage, the non-enforce-
aent of law is it's nursing mother, and
misguided and misapplied charity its
base of operations. The tramp evil is not
SO much a disease as a symptom Of pub
lie ill-health AS such, and all the more
because it is such, it deserves to be more
thoroughly investigated, more reason
ably apprehended, and more boldly

THE OLD NEWFOUNDLAND.
Nov 1t Has Political Degeneracy and
Much Distress.

Nov 1t Has Political Degeneracy and
Much Distress.
Newfoundland Tor NeWland, as it is
called in a statute of Henry Wild is
very different place from the foggy, ice
bound land which most people imagine
it. 1t is further south in latitude than
Great Britain, it. is no land for fog and
the summers are delightful, says the
Westminster Review.
1t is true that the winters are long
and severe, for there is no gulf stream
to temper the ocean; but even in the
winter the sun shines brilliantly-the
fogs in which the prevalent idea en-
velops the island are really far out at
sea. May is the most unpleasant
month, fer ten and twelve feet of snow
drift and four and five feet Of ice must
be got rid of somehow; so Newfound-
land becomes a world of slush and mis-
cry. Then June is too often bleak and
biting But before it is over what
delightful change has come! And it
comes with some certainty; there is
rarely the disappointment which an
English summer brings. We have en-
ioyed nothing better than the firwoods
of Avalon in the summer, their cram
berries and hurts and wild raspbeFries
and the globe, flowers and pitcher
plants and Linnaea borealis in the
r?arshes The country has a character
oil its own, yet ever and again it recalls
Cd England more perhaps than any
other part OF the earth. There is good
deal of Devonshire in yon old farm
which was settled years ago by Devon
shire men; Croker's river is much like
a Yorkshire trout stream and the pools
n the early July evening show much
the same insect life. But on the banks
of the rivers bloom the calmia and
azaiea and the still water far down
amid the forests of pine and fir has
yastn0ss and solitude which We do not
aee over here.
What delightful trout fishing there is,
too! How free they come! Only the
mosquitoes and sand flies are certainly
a drawback And what a paradise for
picnics! Over the high ground to Top
sail cove and to Portugal cove and Tor
lay and Flat Rock. They were no
Toan picnics in the old days, when The
whole community seemed to turn out
and drive off to the rendezvous in
continuous stream. For round about
re CO.'S the island was prosperous and
lie presence of the military gave life
and tone to society. quarter OF a
century has wrought change; the re-
n.oval of the troops was certainly a
;oss; thought of the island moved in
aarrow circle; it lost touch with the
,tside world and gradually selffshne0e
md corruption have wrought the fail
ere of responsible government. The
resent distress of the Newfoundland
fshermen is due partly to economic
.;2uses, in some measure to the dit1-
Guilty of the French shore, but very
lorgely to that state of political degen-
acy which made it possible for the
Sr9reme court year ago to unseat

THE ELBE LOCATED.
Tut She Is Too Far Down to BE

Tut She Is Too Far Down to Be
Reached by Divers.
The North German Lloyd Company
sent a professional diver to try and 10
cate the wreck Of the Elbe, and to re-
port about the possibility of getting at
bodies, which may still be held IN the
wreck, and also to attempt to extr1cate
what valuables might be gotten at. He
reports the following:
eve set out on the wrecking steamer
Elise and lowered for almost two weeks
around the spot where the Elbe sank.
She lies listed to the port side at a
depth of over forty fathoms Gao feet;
favorable results could therefore hard
ly be expected. In spite OF this we
tried our best to descend to the vessel,
but among six professional divers, two
Germans, two Frenchmen and two Eng
lishmen, not one could dive deeper
than ITO feet. I attempted it once daily
for six consecutive days, but when |
got to the depth mentioned, which was
the greatest depth reached by any OF
those on board, the pressure OF the
WdI0r upOu LILY OOuy was ~ Po"o
that it seemed to me all the air was
pressed out of my body. 1t was diff
cult to breathe; the ears began to pain
and bleed, and numbness seemed to
penetrate the head, which l concluded
was the beginning of waning conscious
ness. Since, with a diver attired in
scaphander suit, loss of consciousness
would be fatal, the attempts to reach
the Elbe had to be abandoned. From
the deepest point I reached I could see
the hull of the Elbe as through a fog.
She is listed to the port side, and the
masts and smokestacks could plainly
be SEEN"
