MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Was There = Mistake.

Gertrude Fox. pretty 15-year-old
girl, died at the city hospital, St. Louis.s
from opium poisoning. She was taken
to that institution by her grandmoth-
er, Mrs Hester Stephens, who resides
ut 1888 South Thirteenth street. The
girl was in an unconscious condition,
and, despite the every effort of ply
stefan she died.
For several days the girl had chills
and kidney trouble. She complained
to her grandmother, and was sent to a
city dispensary, where she received
medicine. She was instructed to take
tablespoonful every three hours, but,
instead, took one every hour. She be-
came stupid, and that night she be-
came very i'll.
The next morning her condition
frightened her grandmother, who had
her removed to the hospital, The doc
tor who gave her the medicine stated
that even though she did take a table
spoonful of the medicine every hour it
would not affect her SO, because it was
mostly quinine.
Some ST. Louis Apple Trees.
As a proof of the salubrity of the
St. Louis climate, DIR. Thompson. of
the city dispensary, points to the fact
that he has an apple tree in his yard
at 4752 Kennerly, which now has more
blossoms than it had early in the
spring. DIR. Ihompson's statement pro-
NOTED DIR. Helwig to declare that on
October &c he picked an apple from
tree near the Walnut Park school,
which was one of the second crop this
season. He said it was as fine fruit as
he ever ate.

JAuNT OF THE JOURNALISTS.
They Take in Newport News ana old
Point Comfort.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 19.-According to
arrangement, and upon the invitation Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany, the members of the Southern As
ISOLATED Press Association went
to Newport News and Old Point
to-day and spent the day in an
inspection of the dry docks at the first
named place, and in sightseeing at the
latter. They returned TO the city tonight,
spending the evening at the Academy Of
Music as the guest Of Manager Leith.
The party left Richmond on a special car
attached to the regular morning train, and
their comfort was looked after by John
d. Potts, assistant general agent of the
road. The train stopped first at Newport
News, where the greater portion Of the
day was spent.
Visiting the shipyard the visitors were
shown about by Superintendent of Ter
minals Parker, whose many courtesies en-
abled the distinguished party to see and
fully comprehend everything that was
going on.
on the stocks were two warships, which
were inspected with great Interest as was
also the Plant line steamship Grand Ouch
ess, which was built at Newport News and
is Just being finished, preparatory to sail
ing for New York, whence she will sail for
Cuba In the dry docks was a German
steamer, and while the gentlemen of the
press were there the water was turned in
and she was floated This proved to be
most interesting sight, and something
many of the visitors had never before wit
messed. After seeing all there was to be
seen, and after having gone practically all
over the lourishing city of Newport News,
the party repaired to Old Point, where
they were dined at the Chamberlin. A
sumptuous dinner was served them, and
the walk over the dry docks having whet-
ted the appetites of all, ample justice was
done the meal, which was served in the
magnificent style which characteriZes the
Chamberlain.
After the repast, resolutions were adopt
ed thanking the Richmond Dispatch and
the Times for the excellent reports made
of the proceedings of the association, and
for the many courtesies extended the Wis
itors; the Richmond Railway and Elec-
trio Company and the Richmond Traction
Company, for courtesies at their hands;
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany for the pleasant and most enjoyable
excursion rendered by it, and the Acade-
my of Music for seats at the performance
of the milk White Flag"
1t was decided to hold the next meeting
in Savannah, Ca, where Col. ]. II. Estill

sizes to the members of the association.

Charlotte, N. c., Nov. ia special to
the Observer from Newton says; In
terest in the eastern field trials continues
This morning was bright and clear, but
as the day grew, the suns rays beat down
with such increasing force that except
for the autumn forests and frost bitten
vegetation, one might have supposed
that he was moving in the middle of July
instead of November. Birds are plenti-
full, but the weather is not favorable for
good work in the field being entirely too
warm to be comfortable for the process
sion of sportsmen to keep up with the en-
tire days running. This morning the
second series of the all-age race was
run, the first series having been finished
yesterday. Eight of the sixteen dogs in
the first were lucky enough to get placed
for the second series and were braced
thus: Tonys Gale against Sam T.; Har-
wick against Odd Sides; Won Gull against
Cincinnatfs Pride, and Marie's Sport
against Aranie II. The all-age contest
was concluded late this afternoon and
purses were awarded as follows: First,
$500. to Odd Sides, owned by w. A. VIM
satt, and handled by L. w. White; second,
500, to Marie's Sport, owned by H. b. Led
better, and handled by George E. Gray;
third, 800, Tony's Gale, owned by Fox &

MExICO's TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
The Republic Likely to outstrip Gu
bn in Its Output.

bn I'm Its Output.
Washington, Nov. ia report received
at the department OF state from Consul
General Crittenden on the cultivation and
expectation Of tobacco by Mexico, shows
the Mexicans have made enormous strides
In this industry since 1889.
In the year 1sS9-9O the tobacco exports
amounted to $s49. 1892 and in the year 1Ss4-95
they were increased TO 81 400, 1873. The ex.
ports for the year 1885 are estimated at
S1,700,0O
The tobacco men of the United States,
the report says, did not realize the chang
ed condition In the Havana cigar business
until 1892, when England, Germany, Bel
GUM and the United States took from
Mexico S67, 500 pounds of cigars and cigar
cites and 1885, SOP pounds of leaf tobacco
Two years later, the export to these couu>
tries was increased by 100000 pounds OF
tobacco.
In Cuba the exhausted condition Of the
soil can give no more and the worlds re-
quirement of Havana" cigars can only
be supplied through the use of Mexican
leaf. Practically no wrapper tobacco is
grown in Mexico. The leaf is all filler.
Mexico, it is further said, is not only
one of the coming coffee countries, but
is also coming tobacco country. The
soil of the tobacco region is so deep as 10
be practically inexhaustible. Moreover,
its extent is 100 times that of the Cuban
tobacco region.

Congress-

Norfolk, Va. Nov 19.-The National
Episcopal congress convened in its third
DAYS session this morning at 1880 o'clock.
Right Rev. Bishop Newton Of Virginia
conducted the devotional exercises. The
topic for discussion was Archaeology and
the Bible"
The first writer was Rev. r. n. Bald
win. chaplain to the bishop Of New York.
In an able paper he reviewed the work of
the archaeologist in substantiating the
truths of the Scripture, and urged that
the study of the science by investigation
amid the ruins Of antiquity be prosecuted
with the greatest patience.
Rev. Prof. Andus Chafford Of the Nir-
ginia Theological seminary submitted the
next paper His essay was very able. He
too. reviewed the work of archaeolog1sts
and slightly attacked the spirit and meth
DDS of modern critics though he depre-
Gated any intention of undertaking. their
work. He declared that now however,
these realized that they must walt for the
dictum of the inscriptions.
Prof A V. Williams Jackson, d. D.,
Phi. D., Of Columbian University, n. Y,
the youngest man in the congress, made a
very telling address, often rising to lotty
eloquence as he showed what archaeology
ndu accomplished tON al 10 SStobiiSll4'iS tAAS
truths of revelation.
Rev John p. Peters, d. D., Of New York,
the well-known archaeologist and explorer.
gave a very interesting talk, telling what
archaeological exploration had accomplish
ed towards reconciling apparent Bible con-
tradictions and emphasizing the import
ance Of its intelligent prosecution. His
address was made additionally interesting
by reason of his relation Of personal dis
coveries in ancient lands.
At l2:S0 o'clock the congress adjourned
to go to Hampton, this afternoon, to at
tend exercises connected with the dedica-
ton Of new buildings there at which Pres
ident w. @. Gilman of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and Bishop Potter OF New York

REPORT FROM THE MAYOR.

Referring to the communication from
the sanitary board relative to the neces-
sity of changing the present site or our
quarantine station and the making OF
certain repairs thereto, beg leave TO re-
port that after comforting with Capt. ..
Nj. Carter United States engineer IN
charge of harbor Improvements, would
recommend that such temporary repairs
as are necessary be made at once at our
quarantine station, looking to the SAFETY
of mooring vessels and prompt discharge
of ballast. The necessity of an early
change in the site OF quarantine station
depends altogether upon the action OF con-
gress at its next session In appropriatlng
sufficient funds to carry out present au-
thorized contracts for harbor improve
ments. In this connection, further rec
ommend that an investigation be made as
to the suitability OF the old quarantine
station. In my judgment, this latter site
would be the most desirable IL the city Is
compelled to make a change
