A New Hampshire woman. who had al
ways made hayoring extracts for use in
her own family. began some thirteen
years ago to manufacture the extracts for
sale, using the same process-that OF
making them directly from the fruits
themselves. instead of from oils-that she
had used when making the extracts on a
small scale. The result has been that she
not only regained vigorous heahh from
the out-of-door employment necessary In
gathering and overseeing her materials.
but she is building up a constantiy-en-
larging sale for her extracts throughout
New England.

HOW THEY STAND
New York Chamber of Commerce
Polls the Present Congress
on Silver.
The House Has a Big Majority
Against the White Metal,
1t Is Said.
In the Senate the Friends of Sill
YER Are i'll a Slight
Minority.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-The Republics
New York correspondent says:
There is no possibility of a free coin
age bill passing either the senate or
house of the new congress. A commit
tee of the chamber of commerce has
made in the last six weeks careful can
vass Of senators and representatives.
with results gratifying to the friends Of
sound money.
The sound money committee of the
chamber of commerce has more than
20 members, all representative business
men of New York. The executive COM
mittee, which has been in charge of the
poll, is composed of nine members, Gus
tav H. Schwab, chairman; David
H. Houghtaling, Henry Hentz,
Joseph G. Hendrix, Charles S.
Fairchild, William J. Schieffelin,
Louis WinGmuller and Malcolm Gra-
ham. In the absence Of Mr.. Schwab in
Europe, ex-Congressman Joseph G.
Hendrix, president of the Union Ma
tional bank, who was active in con-
gress in bringing about the repeal Of the
Sherman silver law, has been acting as
chairman.
According to the executive commit
tees canvass, the house will have 2l6
sound money men. SS pronounced free
silver men, and 80 doubtful. The free
silver men are divided among the par
ties, 30 being accredited Republicans, 81
Democrats, and POpulists.
In tho Upper House.
The poll of the senate shows 43 votes
| against free coinage. In addition to
this there are six senators, Bacon,
Baker, Caffery, Mcbride, Martin and
Wilson, whose position is somewhat in
| doubt, but who are believed to be not
unfavorable to sound money. The sill
yer men can muster only 80 votes, but
| this number will doubtless be increased
| by two men when Utah comes into full
statehood.
According to the report of the chamber
of commerce committee there will be 80
free silver men in the senate. Utah, of
| course, may add two, but against these
there will probably be lapses from the
ranks. Senator Mills of Texas, who was
supposed to be the Achilles of the sill
veriteS, has come out on the sound
money side, and other desertions are ex.
pected.
The Missouri delegation is composed
of ten Republicans and five Democrats.
The former are nearly all new men, and
our best advices are that hey are, with
the exception of Burton, gold men. OF
the five Democrats, three-Messrs. Hall,
Cobb and Tarsney - are for sound
money, while Dockery and De Almond
are for free silver The number of fol
lowers of the white metal in Missouri
therefore, is only three.

Latest Move of Texas Authorities in the

CHICAGO, Sept. 25. "A special from

Attorney General Crane is arranging to
sue ont an injunction in the district
court Of Dallas county to restrain the
Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight. If the judge
grants the injunction, which he doubt
less will, then the fight management, in
self defense, must appeal the matter to
the court Of criminal appeals with full
bench, and thus play directly into the
hands of the state because to get it be-
fore the full bench for decision is eX-
acty what the state wants, as it is be-
lieved a full bench Of the court will re-

MARCHING ON MATANZAS.

Said There VIII BE Crisis in Cuban
Affairs Soon.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2b.-A special to The
Tribune from Havana Sept. 19, says:
Armed parties Of revClutionists are al
ready in the Province of MatanZas, and
actually within 70 miles of the City OF
Havana. OF greater Importance is the
reported advance into the Province of
Matanzas. If, as it is said, they have
concealed, and if they really are advanc
ing in force, the crisis is not far off.
Yesterday morning at o'clock. while
the steamer Santa Barbara with the bat
talon OF Tetuan, 900 men, was waiting
outside the harbor, the governmental
chief of police suddenly called on his
inspectors and CHEZ officers, and at 2:3O
O'Clock these, with reinforcementS from
the municipal police went off rapidly i'll
many directions. Eighty-five persons
were arrested by them in few hours,
and are now confined in cells in the
Mora castle.
RumOrs of a Great Conspiracy.
Rumors were soon flying around that
q great conspiracy has been discovered.
and that the initial step was to have
been an attack with dynamite on the
Santa Barbara or on the battalion.
1t issaid documents duplicating i'm
portant personages have been found. 1t
is also said that large quantity of con-
cealed arms aud munitions have been
seized.
The sequel of the arrests came at
midnight, when there was frightful
accident in the harbor This accident
was nothing more less than the sinking
Of the Spanish cruiser Barcaezetegui, in
which Al lives were lost. This terrible
affair, coming on the heels of the ar
rests, has caused great alarm. While
official reports leave little doubt the
collision was accidental, nevertheless it
was a strange coincidence at least. The
question is asked how the Mortera
should have been attempting to enter
the port after it was closed and there
are those who say it was better to send
a Spanish cruiser and an admiral to the
bottom than even a troopship.

In the towns Of Pleasant Valley and
Clear Lake number of buildings We're

will be fully $2O,OOO at Merrill. At

MORE CIVIL SERVICE.
Fourth Glass POstmastere Will BE on Il
List Before Cleveland Retires.

Fourth Glass Postmastere Will BE on the
List Before Cleveland Retires.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Both the
postoffice department and civil service
commission are taking interest in the
movement towards putting the fourth
class pcstmasters under the protection
of the civil service laws. While moth
ing is likely to be done at present, it is
probable that before the end of this adj
ministration the looked-for action will
be taken There are over IS, 600 fourth
class postoffices in the country and the
number is constantly increasing. OF
these some 10000 carry salaries of less
than $50 per annum, and at least half
are in places where there is such greater
difficulty in finding competent and re-
liable person who is willing to serve,
than in choosing between competitors.
1t is obvious that there can be no ques-
tion of examination and certitication i'll
the usual civil service methods in these
offices.
Several Plans Suggested.
Several plans have been suggested,
and a combination of them will prob
ably be adopted. Many of the larger
fourth class offices are in suburban
towns, near cities having presidential
postmasters. 1T is now the policy Of the
department to change these suburban
fourth class offices to sub-stations of
Residents often object, as they fear the
identity of their town may be lost, but
generally yield when they find that as a
sub station they get free delivery. All
substations are under the civil service
law, the person in charge icing a clerk
Of the city office. When a fourth
class Office becomes a sub-station, it
goes by that fact into the classified SER
vice. 1t is hoped that most of the more
valuable fourth class offices may soon be
brought in by these means. In sec
ond class Office, different method will
be adopted. All candidates will be fur.
nished with blanks on which certain
material questions in regard to the can
didates qualifications will be asked
These must be filled by the representa-
tive citizens Of the place, who certify
that they know the candidate and that
the answers they give about him arr
true. The candidate making the best
showing on this basis will be appointed
The smaller offices will probably remain
as they are. This is the rough draft OF
the presidents idea. 1t will no doub
be modified somewhat before being pu
into practice.
