LETTERS FROM THEPEoPLE

Thoughts on the Annfversary of
 Robert Enan.et, March 4y 1893.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Let no man write my epitaph until my country takes her place among the nations of the earth. In this, his dying speech, Emmet sounded the tocsin of Irish nation ality, and after years have borne it on every wind of heaven to every land where an Irishman has suffered or grown strong.
 His fame is as eternal as the cause for which he yielded up his life. He vas Protestant in.faith. as many of his political associates we're, and also not a few of the leaders of '98. and hence. as body of Irish patriots, they furnished practical refutation of the oft reI eated islander that Irish hostility to England has its origin and was kept alive by religious antagon- isms. He believed with Tone and others that religious opinions had no necessary connection with'political convictions, and that the only hope for Irish liberty was in
 Irish unity, and it is in this direction that his influence is pow erful to-day. For men of all religious creeds who sympathize with valor in distress and virtue, hewn down by desposition and injustice have gathered together from the frozen ocean to the farthest tropic, whenever Ireland's sad
 story is remembered, to honor the name of the man who honored his God in life, his native land in death. and his humanity in all things. Out of the past there are few such spirits that come forth in so per feet guise of romance. truth. and tragedy and very few indeed whose impress upon the world has been purer and better, un- obscured bys time and undimmed by destiny. Euamets memory is imperish- able. because it is linked indissolubly. with 6 most deathless aspiratlon-the future freedom of his country. It is perennial, because a persistent devotion
 to true liberty is never com
 pletely destroyed, though often baffied. It will survive the scaffold and the bloody assize, because the march of ages sweeps
 aside the implements of tyranny, while the spirit enfranshised by the headsman has
 stalked abroad and woke the children of
 Ireland to liberty again. The grave which England would have dishonored has become | glorious-the Mecca of the heart. The hero England would have consigned to a
 felon's infsmy has burst his cerements
 and become one of the most glorious
 among the children of light The ways of the tyr lnts of this world are not the ways l of heaven. and eternal justice. while 1t permits the wrong, vindicates it's majesty by dispersing the evil purposes of the | wicked. And so. the empire that was
 powerful enough to crush the mortal part
 part of Emmet had no power to kill his
 soul. That was devoted to his maker,
 and that is with us still, with a potency
 beyond the bayonet or the perverted
 forms of law. We should hail, therefore, with an enthusiasm born of noble natures,
 the anniversary of Emmet and trust that
 ere long Ireland shall take her place among
 the nations of the earth, his epitaph be
 written on the page of liberty as his name
 is already enrolled in the living blazonry
 of song and story. w.

The Women of Guatemala.
Especial Correspondencc.l

GUATEMALA CITY, Feb. 2l.-Possibly the talk about war between Guatemala and Mexico may arouse some interest among nOTthcrners concerning this Cen tral American country. The land and the people here are surely sufficiently unlike the land and the people of the United States to merit at least passing attention.
 All right minded strangers are attracted by the women of Guatemala-that Is, by the younger ones. They are exceedingly pretty, not beautiful, not handsome ex- sctly, but pretty. As to figure they are generally slight; us to movements, quick and graceful, and apt to be coquettish. Their complexions arc olive, but clear and transparent, their hair is black and plen- tiful, and they wear 1t in braids that arc sometimes SD long as to fall below the waist. Their features arc delicate, their eyes largo and lustrous, and their hands and feet are small.
 Women labor in the fields side by side with the men. for household cares in this country are few and trifling Most of the marketing is done by the women, and this includes the conveying of the products of the fields to the selling place as well as the purchasing of such things as arc need ed. They carry tho vegetables and fruits they wish to dispose of in large, fiat bas. kets, which they balance skillfully on their heads. They generally travel in par ties or groups of six or eight, and they are actually able to keep up a slow and easy trot for distance of several miles with these heavy burdens on their heads.
 Their costumes arc almost always pie turesque and bright colored. This adds greatly to their attractiveness making them appear picturesque even when they have reached the personally unattractive age, which comes much earlier in this eli mate than in cooler northern lands.
 While the young women of Guatemala are undoubtedly joy to all who behold them, not 50 much can bo said of the houses in which the Guatemalans live and the manner in which they arc kept. have heard stoEics concerning the kitchen practices hero that will hardly bear repe- titiOD It Is not at all unusual for the poultry to be allowed to occupy the dining room for a considerable portion of the time, and } traveller in the more remote districts tella of sonora who made her :Cffee over al outdoor fire in an old black lot, throwing herself on the ground near Iy to rest while the water was a boiling. When she thought 1t was about hot Inongh, she reached out bare foot and tested the temperature with her toe.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Prospects of Trade and the Industris
 Generally.

The Prospects of Trade and the Industries
 Generally.
 NEW YORK, March 2.-R G. Dun 6 Go. s weekly review of trade says today:
 No gold goes out, though sterling ex- change has risen close to the exporting point. and it does not yet appear that the syndicate has yet made any effort to con- trol the exchange market. London has sold about 40. O00 shares of stock during the week, and tho market is distinctly lower for railroad shares. though a shade stronger for trusts. The stock market waits abjectly for London. and foreigners show thus far more disposition to sell than to buy. Withdrawals of gold by redenp- tion of legal tenders have not ceased, but since the closing of the syndicate con- tract have averaged about SEQ, 900 per day. There Is no essential change in the money market, though rates arc some what higher. Agricultural products arc Q shade higher, but without any reason which looks to future operations. Moro people arc idle in the great industries than were idlo last week, but not for reasons which distinctly affect the future.
 The industries make slow gains where they make any. Little is said of the stop pago of the Edgar Thompson steel works, though many thousand hands depend on its operation, because the Carnegie conn pany has purchased 50, 900 tons of Besse- mer pig at $9. e5 to S1O. o5 at Pittsburg-a price indicating that the biggest concern in western Pennsylvania does not want to make iron for less. At other markets pig irolI has been quiet and elsewhere, as at Pittsburg, structural orders account for Q large share of the new business reported, though activity in wire, wire rods and barbed wire still continues. Bar iron and steel arc firmer at PittSburg. but without change in quotations, and. on the whole. the reduced consumption in January does not seem to have more than matched the reduced production
 Nothing new can be said of boots and shoes, for the markets are still unsettled by the controversy about prices. Ship ments from Boston in February have been 306. s65 cases, against 292, e7S year ago.
 The market for cotton goods is fairly active, and the demand improves In some grades, but is, on the whole, decidedly dis appointing. though this week there has been no sensational reduction in prices. Undoubtedly the accumulation of goods continues and is the most dangerous fea- ture for the trade. The sales of wool ai the three chief markets during the past month have been 90. 303, $50 pounds. against Is, A, 13l last year and 2S. lS9, 900 for the same weeks two years ago. and while the mills making low grade goods are fairly supplied with orders it Is a most unwholesomo feature that numerous can cellations arc reported. indicating that the goods supplied at exceptionally low prices do not meet the expectations of buy CTS.
 On the other hand, the demand foI goods of the better grade seems little bot ter than has been expected.

 tainers.
 The opera house was crowded last night to witness the performance of the oper- ettas "A Day in the Woods" and "A Merry Company" by the pupils of the pubic schools. under the management of Prof O. R. Bill. supervisor of music in the public schools. "A Day in the Woods" was given by the pupils of the grammar schools. There were fourteen in the cast supported by one hundred voices. "A Merry Company. or Cadets Picnic" was presented by the scholars of Ithe high school. Both operettas were presented in a manner which showed that those who took part in them had been thoroughly drilled by a master hand, there not being a single hitch from the beginning to the close. The audience went wild with en- thusiasm at different parts of the per- fOrmance and the applause was general and well-merited throughout. The oper- ettas will be repeated this evening and there is sure to be another full house. The proceeds will be appropriated to the high school piano fund.

Morgan S Co, which has recently been changed to J. P. Morgan S5 Co. He has been conspicuously successful as a reor- ganizer of railroads, and as such the Vanderbilt powers bow to him. It is said that he was the only man in Wall street whom the late Jay Gould feared, and he proved his metal in many con- tests with the wizard.
 MT. Morgan is son of Junius Spen- cer Morgan, famous banker in his day, who was associated with George Pea body, the philanthropist, whose centena- " was celebrated recently. His mother was daughter of John Pierpont, the poet. He was born in Hartford April r, 1887, and completed his sch pol edu- cation at Gottingen, Germany. Then his real education began in the banking and brokerage firm of Dabney, Morgan & Co, of which he was the junior member. He improved his opportunities to such good effect that he now stands the foremost financicr of New York city and possesses fortune that is variously estimated from $40, 900, 900 to $60, 900, = 900.
 MT. Morgan is not exactly popular man. He is very attentive to business and seldom appears in public or in so- ciety. He has a town house in Madison avenue, New York. and fine country seat on the west bank of the Hudson below West Point. He has been twice married, and his second wife is niece of Benjamin F. Tracy, President Harri- sons secretary of the navy. He has three daughters and one sor. ]. Pier pont, Jr.. who has alreacy made a namo for himself in Wall street.

Ought to Have His Board Reduced One.
 Half,

William Ashmore of Baldwin street, who works for Holmes. Booth < Hayden. has been noted for years for his enormous appetite and rumor had it that he was obliged to pay double price for his board. The cause of his unnatural appetite was that he had been troubled for years with an enormous tape worm-sixty-fve feet in length. He consulted four doctors, but they were unable to conquer the monster. At last he turned to the U-No Tonic Go for relief, bought a bottle of the U-No Tape Worm remedy, and five hours after taking it passed the worm without any difficulty and since he has had a normal appetite.

  Table Linens.

The greater part of our Spring importa- tions of Table Damssk. Napkins, Towels and Napery is to hand, and will go on sale Friday morning. Irish, Scotch and Ger man manufacturers are represented. and you will find no such sameness of patterns as characterize ordinary Linen stocks. New and unique designs are the leading feature, unless it be that low prices tie for first honors.
 Irish and Scotch goods show most style and delicacy of finish; but in medium grades, for general use. We recommend German makes. They show quality and weight. and recent shipments reveal a marked improvement in style and finish.
 The medium and better qualities you can have Damask and Napkins match.
 Another speciality of the stock is our line of Pattern Cloths. to yards in length. and to 2A yards in width. which we sell by the yard at the same prices ss piece goods of corresponding quality. It is a decided advantage to have a cloth with border all round if it doesn't cost more than yard goods. These also have Napkins to match.
 Recent market reports say that linens are going to be sensibly dearer." the moral of which is. buy now,
