Paper gloves and hosiery, says the
Chicago Times, are named as among
the very latest novelties. Stockings
which shall sell at 3 cents a pair are
proposed. In fact, the experiment Of
making paper stockings has been going
on for several months, and the party
engaged therein believes that pretty
mittens or gloves would possess ad-
vantages in their season. The goods
are light and airy and very comforta-
ole in summer. When finished and
dyed their appearance is similar to or
dinary fabric goods. The knitting ia
from paper yarns. The paper yarns
are made pretty much after the plal,
OF making common paper twines, ex-
cept that the former are put throug,,
certain special processes. The prin-
ciple is that of making . sort of a nap
on the yarns. This is done autonati-
cally. Ordinary paper twine or yarn
is too smooth, but good gigging up
gives the yarn nap and this imparts
softness. After the knitting has been
done the goods are placed in a sizing
bath made from potato starch and tai
low, which imparts solidity and dura-
bility to the texture. With paper

pals. why not paper socks and stock.

DIR. LANSING APOLOGIES.
He Formally Retracts His Charges
against President Cleveland.

He Formally Retracts His Charges
against President Cleveland.
The Rev. DR.. I. J. Lansing, at the Metho-
dist Conference in Salem, Mass, created
sensation by declaring that President Cleve-
land was a drunkard and that he could
prove it. The speech WAS published in
various newspapers and the President thought
1t proper to deny, in the most public manner
possible, the charge Of habitual
fnebriety which was brought against him.
The Presidents statement covers every par
ticuar instance of intoxication alleged by
the Rev. DR.. Lansing. One and all, the charges
of the clergyman are denounced oy Mr..
Cleveland as "wholesale lies and calumnes,
not less stupid than they are cruel and
wicked" This denial refers not only to the
alleged occurrence at the time of the great
naval parade, and to the banquet at which,
according to DIR. Lansing, Mr.. Cleveland
was .sbrilliantly drunk at 10 o'clock, at II
considerably more 30, and at o'clock in the
morning very drunk" but also to the other
occasions mentioned by the clergyman as
affording proof of the Presidents frequent
departure from the restraints Of perfect SELL
control and the limits Of sobriety.
At the Chamber of Commerce dinner on
November Is, 1892, one Of the occasions re-
cey NJ. Depew sat near Mr.. Cleveland. II
can saw" reports.Dr. Depew, shat he was
absolutely sober and in full command OF his
faculties" At the Reform Club on December
10, 1892, the Hon. Frederic R. Coudert
sat next, or almost next. to the
President. s'From first to last" says Mr.
Coudert, The conducted himself as gen
tleman, and in a manner befltting his high
Office. To say that he was the worse for
drink is to utter a falsehood."
Now in corroboration Of these gentlemen
the Rev. DR.. Lansing has issued letter OF
retraction, in which he says:
''To the Press:
"My allusion made in temperance ad-
dress at Salem on Thursday, April 4, to
the drinking habits OF the President OF
the United States was based partly on
common report and partly on the testi-
mony of eyewitnesses. From various and
independent sources, which I believed
to be wholly reliable, have been informed
that the President had been seen on differ
ent occasions, and in the presence OF many
persons, in an intoxicated condition. From
the circumstantial and detailed character OF
these statements supposed there was no
doubt as to the facts alleged. l must, there
fore, say that If my statement reproducing
such testimony Is not In harmony with facts,
I regret having made 1t. could have
neither desire nor motive for saying any
thing unkind or uncharitable OF the Presl-
dent or Of any party whatsoever. This case
being one Of conflict of testimony between
witnesses Of equal credibility I cannot de-
eide, and, since I have no personal knowl-
edge apart from the testimony, withdraw
the statement and tender apologetic and sin
cere regrets to the President Of the United
State and to the public. I. j. LANSING"

THE ST. PAUL AFLOAT.
A Native-Built Steamer for the Americrn n
Line Launched.

A Native-Built Steamer for the America n
Line Launched.
The American liner ST. Paul made amy 10
apology at Cramps shipyard. Philadelphia,
Penn, for refusing to be launched two
weeks before She was launched apparently
with the greatest ease. She broke away as
the planks that held her fast in the launching
cradle were being sawed off. She shook
her bow perceptibly as she started down
the incline, and then with steady. even mo-
ton, far more deliberate than that NJ her Sis
ter ship, st. Louis, she slid into the Della
ware. The Cramps never had a more sue
cesstul launching.
Miss Frances C. Griscom. the sixteen-year-
old daughter OF President Griscom, OF the In
ternational Navigation Company, owners OF
the St. Paul, christened the ship.
The luncheon in the mould loft followed
Immediately, and soon the rafters Of that
place were ringing with laughter and elo-
quence. Governor Hastings, Mayor War
wick, President Griscom and Henry W.
Cramp made speeches, rs did MIR. j. j. Par
ker and several others Of the st. Paul delega-
ton.
The St. Paul is sister snip to the st.
Louis, which is soon to go into commission
and take her place in the transatlantic fleet.
Her lines have speed in every curve, so
that when she was on the ways one could
not look up at her without the feel
Still, she is not built especially for speed.
Like her sister ship, she has seventeen water
tight compartments. The bulkheads be,
tween these compartments are carried well
up, and there are no doors through them.
She might be cut entirely in two and her two
halves would float. She will be commits
stoned this summer on the American Line be-
tween New York and Southampton.

on the main question, and had no opinion on
the law. Therefore the case WAS remanded
to the lower courts. The Chief Justice, how
ever, announced that the Court decided that
tax on rents and also on State and munich
pal bonds is unconstitutional.
The division Of the Court was not publicly
announced by Chief Justice Fuller; but 1t
was as follows:
Against the law-Chief Justice Fuller and
Associate Justices Field, Gray and Brewer.
For the law-Justices Harlan, Shiras,
Brown and White.
Against taxing incomes from rents, six to
two.
Against taxing State and municipal bonds,
seven to one.
Chief Justice Fuller said that the Court
could find no difference between a tax on
land itself and Tux on rents or income de-
rived from land. The Court, therefore, was
OF opinion that O tax on rents or landed in
vestments was direct tax and unconstttu-
tional.
The Court next decided that the tax was
unconstitutional 80 far as 1t related to In.
comes from State, county or municipal
bonds.
It was next ruled that the fact that the law
was pronounced unconstitutional In these
two particulars did not invalidate the law as
whole.
It was announced that In this latter con-
cluslon the Court was equally divided and
therefore rendered no opinion. The lower
Court having ruled In favor Of the law by q
divided Court, the law would stand except as
to rent and State, county and municipal
bonds, and on these two points it was direct
ed that the judgment below be reversed.

FATAL POWDER EXPLOSION.

Two Buildings Wrecked and Several Per-
sons Killed in New Orleans.
At half-past 2 O'Clock a. m. an explosion
of gunpowder occurred in a grocery belong
ing to Charles salethe, corner Of Ursuline and
Decatur streets, New Orleans, La, completely
demollshing the building and the neighbor-
ing saloon. known as the Fishermen's E1-
change, and instantly killing five and seri-
ously wounding eight persons. There were
several persons also missing. The killed are:
Charles SaIathe, owner Of the grocery. Mrs.
Charles Salathe, his wife; Charles salathe,
Jr., his child; Felix Regand, barkeeper !
James Edwards, employed IN the French
Market.
salathe's grocery and ship supply store
was opposite the French Market. The ex.
change next door was the headquarters Of
the fshermen in Louisiana. Salathe always
kept small stock Of powder on hand. It is
thought from the effect Of the explosion that
he must have had larger supply than was
supposed.

butes It to Italians. with whom his uucle, he
says, was on bad terms. The market oppo-
site was we'll filed when the explosion came.
, The next instant the two buildings fell
In complete collapse. Then followed a few
shrieks, and although other minor ex-
ploslons followed and the ruins soon
blazsd up in flames, some Of the look
ers-on rushed into the ruins and began
digging at the place whence the cries came.
They soon succeeded In rescuing Lilly and
Edward Salathe who, although precipitated
from an upper story where they were sleep.
ing. and buried deep under the debris, were
alive and merely scratched. L. Boulet, who
was boarding at the Fishermen's Exchange,
was similarly rescued, and by noon the
bodies Of five dead persons had been taken

PRICE OF BEEF ADVANCED
The Big Dealers In Chicago Say the Sup.
ply ls Short.

The Big Dealers In Chicago Say the Sup
ply is Short.
Prices OF dressed beef have been going up
for two weeks. Live beef to the wholesale
dealer Is fifteen per cent. higher in Chicago
than it was then: At retail, choice cuts have
risen four to five cents apound, and it is pre-.
dicted it will require dollar to buy a good
steak in few weeks.
The public explanation of the rise offered
by the representatives Of the Dressed Beef
Trust Is that prime beef cattle are scarce.
The change in conditions, they say, dates
back to 1890. when countless herds were de-
stroyed on the ranges by storms. The de-
struction of GOO, 900 900 bushels of corn last
year by the drought completed what Western
storms began.
It does not appear by the records. however,
that the receipts OF cattle In Chicago have
fallen off so greatly. At the stock-yards dur
ing March and the first week OF April, 1884
they were 225, 900. During the same period
this year they were 205, ,0OO-not quite ten per
cent. decrease.
In New York City, at Washington Market
was observed the unusual spectacle OF retail
butchers closing up their stalls temporarily.
or permanently going out OF business, on ac-
count OF the high price of meat. Two OF the
Oldest butchers in the market closed
up and more decided to fol-
low their example. The butchers
say they are now paying more for meat than
they have for twenty years. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Mcintyre OF New York City.
said his Office would proceed against the
Chicago meat combine II evidence were put
in his hands showing that it is forcingu tie
price of meat.
