State House Notes.

The Governor and Council will hold a
meeting at the State House, this after
noon, at 2 o'clock. There is very large
amount of general routine work to com e
up that was left over from the Legislature
Several important combinations will be
made. Some of the members of the
Council arrived in the city, yesterday.
1t is estimated that there are in the
State about 500 peddlers, and it is now
that they are getting their licenses re-
newed These fellows deal in most every
kind of goods and travel all over the
country.
Secretary McKeen in talking with a
Journal man, yesterday, says that he
would like to see some change made in the
dairying interests so that more cheese
would be made as this article is now
very high and butter low. He said that
ono reason why so much butter is made is
largely duo to the fact that moro money
can be realized from it to the farmer.
From fifth to quarter of the milk is
cream by the deep setting process, and
perhaps another reason why more is not
made into cheese is beause it would be
harder for the farmer to attend to the
delivery of the milk for cheese making
than for butter. 1t would be necessary
to have it taken to tho cheese factory
every day while two visits week to the
butter factory is all that is necessary.

Home Industry.

Since the firm of Johann Hoff of Der
lin, formed a syndicate with their agents,
the Eisner- Mendelson Co of New York, to
erect plant in the United States for the
manufacture Of the celebrated Johann
Hoff's MALI Extract, in 1892, the sale of
the article here has increased enormously,
and it has become a standard commodity
in the American market.
The plant erected is one of the best
equipped of its kind, and has capacity
to turn out nearly 10, 900, 600 bottles an
nually. The article manufactured here
is in every way superior to the one
formerly imported, as the machinery and
equipment of the plant is of the newest
and best, and the material used, of the
choicest.
This only proves that anything under
taken in the United States is always on a
larger and more elaborate scale than in
the old country, even with an article
which originated abroad nearly so years
ago.

was the reply he made, and con.
tinued, "There is still large amount OF
snow in the woods and was just told that
the rain did not extend up the river very

so suddenly is due to the melting of the
snow in the fields and streams in the

entirely upon the weather. If this cold

will leave here, this afternoon, for Bos

be necessary to condition the men prior to
the opening of the championship season at
Brockton, April 27, and in consideration
of the fact that the members of the team
are not all signed, and uniforms to be
provided, Mr. Burnham has on hand a
task of no little magnitude; but he will
be able to make the best of the situation.
After careful consideration of the facts
before him, he has decided to assemble the
team at Somerville Mass, the 18th inst,
there to engage in a practice game with
the High school nine on the Y. NJ. &. A.
Waltham and Newburyport, for a game
on the 10Th, which is n legal holiday in
Massachusetts. Beyond that no arrange
mcnts have been made; but the team will
continue its practice in the vicinity Of
Boston, arranging such games as are pos
sible until the opening of the champion
ship season, Saturday, April *, at Brock
ton. Very many players are DESTROYS of
showing their ability to fill positions upon
the Augusta team, and Manager Burnham
will be able to accommodate the ambi-
tious youngsters without expense to the
club. Mr. Burnham will visit the grounds
at the Augusta driving park, this fore
noon, and decide upon the work that will
be necessary to put them in suitable play
ing condition.

as Hon. Mrs. Curzon, Miss Letter
will take with her to England some
thing like three million good Ameri-

is estimated to be $15,0OO,OOO.

with startling emphasis-How much
money have titled American girls
taken away with them to foreign
shores? A laboTiOusly compiled list
of all the marriages of American
women to titled men for the past
thirty-ive years shows that at least
5000, 100000 have gone away from
these shores in the period. Eighty
per cent of this is represented in the
marriages of the past six years.
