PAPER HOUSES.

The adaptability of paper is re-
garded as likely to lead to solu-
ton of the problem of rendering
dwellings and business structures
freproof.
1t is now found that paper can
be made perfectly fireproof while
remaining amenable to the same
treatment in the matter of color,
polishing and handling as most
woods.
Such a material offers all of the
advantages as an ideal substance
for floors, and it cen be used equal
ly we for the walls of buildings.
Besides this, it can be used in
the finish and furniture of houses
and would unquestionably do much
to reduce the perils of fire, against
which insufficient provision is but
too often taken.-Ex,

THE SOUTH POLE.

AS the balance of the world is
about explored and mapped, geog-
raphers are now turning their at
tention to the antarctic continent.
The south end of the world is in
accessible to any of the ordinary
means of travel.
Unlike the north end, it is not
approached by any bodies of land,
but at a certain distance from the
actual pole the navigator is
stopped by wall of glacial ice
supposed to average about ?, 600
feet thick 80 9s -
From this mass, probably 5000
miles in diameter and roughly cir
cular in form. there is forever be-
ing cast adrlfr such an army of ice
bergs that it is impossible to ex-
plore the adjacent waters without
great danger.
All the talk in the papers of an
interior on which life is possible is
mere moonshine.
-
The south pole is colder than
the other extremity, and no known
current modi6es, its rigor.
But if anybody wants to explore
it let him go.ahead.
It won't do any harm unless it
precipitates upon Us new tribe of
stereopticon lecturers.-Ex.

THE Louisiana sugar planters
are puzzled to know howto dispose
of 100000 gallons of molasses
now on hand. The cost of putting
it in barrels would leave balance
against them. Heretofore the
stuff has been dumped into rivers
or swamps, but the terrible stencil
made living unbearable. Until
some way is found it is being fed
to stock.

u. S. SUPREME COURT
1T RECUNVENES AFTER A RE-
CESS OF FOUR AND A
HALF MONTHS.
HARMON INTRODUCED TO COURT

BY his Predecessor. Secretary oIney
-~AIl the Members of the Court Were
Present--The formal Call on the
President will be FOregOne ON Ac-
count OF his Absence--A Number of
Cases Dismissed and Several Law
yers Admitted to tho Bar.
WASHINGTON, D G., Oct. 14,-After a
recess covering about four and half
months, the United States Supreme
Court reconvened at noon to day, with
all the members of the court present
There was fair attendance of attorneys
and spectators. Secretary of State O'ney,
Attorney General Harmon, Assistant
Attorney Generals Dickinson and Whit
ney, Solicitor General Conrad and Hon.
Don. M Dickinson were among the law
yers present. The only vacant seat on
the bench was that caused by the death
of Justice Jackson.
The proceedings of the day were brief,
consisting of the hearing OF unimportant
motions, the admission of half dozen
attorneys to the bar and the intrOduc-
tion of Attorney General Harmon to the
court by his predecessor, Secretary
Olney. Chief Justice Fuller announced
the death of Justices Jackson and Srong,
the latter retired, simply saying that
the court was saddened by these events.
The Chief Justice also referred to the
custom on the part of the court of max
ing formal call upon the President at
the beginning of the term, but said the
call necessarily would be foregone on
account of the absence of the chief
executive from the city.
Acknowledging the introduction of
the new Acknowledgement as made by
Secretary OIney, Chief Justice Fuller
said:
"The court parts with the retiring At
torney-General with regret and welcomes
his successor"
A number of cases were dismissed
either by stipulation or on motion of
appellants and plaintiffs in error. The
court then adjourned until tomorrow
when it will meet to hear motions already
assigned for that day.
Previous to the assembling of the
court, the bar met in the courtroom for
the purpose of taking appropriate action
upon the death of the late Justice Jack
son. Secretary of State Olney was called
to the chair, and Clerk McKenny, of the
Court, was designated as secretary. A
committee on resolutions was appointed,
consisting of Assistant Attorney General
J. NJ. Dickinson, S. P. Walker, B. z.
Ayres, H. NJ Dufield, A. H. Garland,
T. B. Turley, of Tennessee; Samuel Shell
labarger, w. A. Maury, Thomas Wilson,

Kentucky. The meeting adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the chairman.

TROUBLE AMONG THE MILITIA.
The Presidents Escort at Atlanta
May be Single Company.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 14.-The an
nouncement was made this afternoon by
Col. John S Gambler, the senior colonel
Of the Georgia Volunteers, that no com
pany of the regular National Gu&rd will
consent to parade on Presidents day at
the Exposition, October %.
The Judge Advocate General of the
State more than year ago decided that
the State militia could not legally parade
with the guard. On this account that
company was not invited to participate
in the parade on the opening day of the
exposition and on Liberty Bell Day, but,
through the action of the Exposition
Company, they have bsen placed in
charge of the procession to escort Presi-
dent leveland to the grounds on the
occasion of his visit here next week.
The reason for this is that the exposi-
ton directors have put the parade in
charge of Capt j. f. Burke, of the Gate
City Guards, an organization which is
not enlisted in the State service, does
not wear the regulation State uniform,
and is not under officers commissioned
or any State authority.
Col Gambler, is one of the most prom
inent Cleveland Democrats in Georgia,
but it is understood that this will not
prevent his insisting on strict obserV-
ance of the military law Of the State.
The regular militia are with Dol. Can
der aud the indications are that the
Presidents escort will be confined to a
single company.

She is Said TO Have One Time Been the
Wife of Senator Mcintyre.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 14.-Mrs. Annie
Walker, of Guelph, Ont., and who is
said to have at one time been the wife
of Senator Mcintyre, of Virginia, lies in
West side boarding house unconscious
and in precarious condition. The case
is most mysterious one, and the police
do not know what TO make of it.
Mrs. Walker was brought to the house
several days ago by man giving the
name of Elliott. He left 800 in an en-
Velope which he said belonged to the
woman. Then he went away and has
not been seen since.
Mrs. Walker is said to be demented,
and it is also said that she is suffering
from conclusion Of the brain. J. f.
Fitzpatrick, who boards in the house
where Mrs. Wa ker is lying, gives it as his
opinion that she has been drugged and
assaulted. Her ailment is pazzling the
physicians who are attending her and
they are unable to determine as to
whether she is suffering from the effects
of some drug or from blow. Mrs.
Wa ker was brought to Mrs. Tracy's
home at 8 O'Clock Thursday morning in
a carriage. She was unconscious and
was carried into the room by man
named Elliott, who, it is said, has teen
an attendant in an insane asylum in
Canada for fifteen years. Since then be
has not been seen or heard from.
Chief of Police Badenoch inquired into
all of the particulars regarding the un-
conscio woman. He said her friends
in Guelph, Canada, had been communi-
Gated with and that he had received a
telegram from sister stating that Mrs.
Walker was insane He also learned
that she was unconscious when she left
the train Thursday morning. The police
are looking for Elliott.

THE DURRANT TRIAL.
Not Likely that it will be Resumed

der of Blanche Lamont did not 60 on
this morning. Many of the jurors are
business men and this being collection
day the court adjourned until tomorrow.
1t is likely that the court will take a
further adjournment tomorrow morn
ing. Attorney Duprey, the leading
counsel for the defense, is confined to
his bed with rheumatism, and his asso-
ciates will base this as a reason for con-
tinuance for several days. Although the
court is known to be opposed to delays
in this trial, it is believed, however,
that he will grant the continuance. In
that case the trial will not likely
be resumed before next Monday. In the
meantime Durrant remains in his cell,
never leaving it for the customary eXer-
cising in the corridors. 1t is said that
he is becoming exceedingly irritable.
Since he finished his testimony in Judge
Murphy's court the defendant has lost
considerable vivacity, and instead of be-
ing careless and Indifferent, he is serious
and troubled.

Some time ago all the warehouses in
this part of the State agreed to charge

make up for the loss sustained by the
warehouses in the reduction of charges
which went into effect on October 1st by
legislative enactment. The Wilson mar
ket has since Withdrawn and now
charges no insurance, but only the regu-
lar charges as required by law.

The people of Wilson will vote on the

little opposition to the proposition. The
