a Trade Union GO Years old.

S&ES$ VIZ Hx0Wt9 Old rS1s
In London there is q quaint old or
ganization known as the Fellowship
of Free Porters. It was organized
some time in the thirteenth century
and for nearly 500 years it's members
had the monopoly of the discharging
of grain from boats coming Up the
Thames. A century gothic organiza-
ton had $500 members, with a sur
plus which in 1852 grew to es1. DOC
The construction Of docks and the
abolition of metage or measurement
of corn destroyed the prosperity of
the Fellowship. 1t has been languish-
ing for several years and refuses to
die becausednol provision has been
made for Sposal of its funds. An
arrangemeheekas been made recently
whereby the funds are to be dis
tributed and meanwhile each member
is to be paid ten shillings "a week.

Saves a FOrtnne.

Monterey, Tenn, SpeciaD-One of
u prominent citizens here, Col. James
3. Jones, secretary and treasurer of the
Cumberland Mountain Coal Co., is on
the high road to make his fortune, and
attributes the fact to his recent cure
from the tobacco habit. He was an
inveterate user of tobacco for many
years, consuming so much as to make
serious inroads on both his purse and
his health. One box of No-To-Bac COM
pletely cured him, and he gained seven
pounds in less than two weeks. Within
three days after starting to use No-To-
BAG the desire for tobacco was entirely
gone. Col. Jones says to all tobacco
users that No-To-Bac will do as recon-
mended and is worth by far more than
it's weight in gold,

TOTAL LOSS ROUGHLY EsTl- MATED AT ABOUT

Three Thousand Bales of Cotton Af. ford Food for the Quickly
 Spreading Flames.

LITE ROCK, Sept. 15.-The large plant of the Union Compress Com pany, in East Little Rock, was to- tally destroyed by fire at 10:30 o'clock last night, entailing loss of $40, 900 on building and machinery and about $l00, 900 on cotton. The insurance on building and machin cry is reported to be $75, 900 with Eastern companies. All of the cot ton was insured with Eastern com- panies with the exception of num- Der of bales which were held by local agents.
 The fire was discovered by Night Watehman Tom Jacks, and it was his alarm that called forth the en- tire fire department. Officers Main and Bourne were at Fourth street and Rector avenue when they first saw the blaze. The fire was in the southwest end of the mammoth building and before the officers could reach telephone the blaze shot upward through the roof and enveloped the building in few seconds. The alarm sent in by Night Watchman Jacks had been responded to by the fire depart ment before the officers reached Q telephone.
 The fire companies reached the scexe in a remarkably short time and Chief Mckay soon had his men at work. Hose lines were laid all around the building, but on account of the low pressue of water, the fire men were unable to cope with the flames. At 10:40 o'clock, a few minutes after the arrival of the de pertinent, the entire roof of the compress building proper, two story structure, was ablaze and the walls began to crumble and fall There were sufficient number of plugs for the hose, but the supply of water was by far too short. The fremen worked untiringly never theless.
 Four fircmen from companies No. 1 and 2, named Peter Woolfor, Eugene Fowdy, John Halvin and Fen Wade had a narrow escape from horrible death while work ing on the northwest end of the building. So intent were they on their work they did not notice the crumbling of the wall above them. The crowd of spectators first saw the wall begin to move and loud shout went up to the four firemen. They finally realized their danger and moved hastily back just as the | wall fell. While the bricks were in the air it looked as if the fire 1 fighters would be caught and crush ed to death, but they got away just in time to miss the wall which fell with a loud crash. Other walls then began falling, and at Il o'clock, just one-half hour after the alarm was sounded, the building was in ruins.
 A large force of men were put to work as soon as possible removing cotton from the burning building and large number of the 5000 stored therein were saved. but it is estimated that at least 5000 bales were consumed. The One-story building north of and adjoining the compress building used for storing compressed cotton bales was saved. During the progress of the fire in the large building several hundred bales were rolled out of this shed. 1 ->s -

GOVERNMENT BY PROXY.
A Condition That Puzzles Ii Hung
Chang Explained.

AsHINGToN, Sept. 13.-One Of the questions tliat puzzled that very in- qnisitiye visitor, Iii Hung Chang, was how this Government possibly conld run alone in the absence from the National Capital of most of the chief executive officers. His tradi- tional instincts and edueation, no
 matter how furnished up by inter- course with Western civilization, still left him associating the rule of the great Chinese Empire with the pres enee of the "Son of Heaven" in Pekin and carried out the same idea in re- gard to the presence of the executive of the United States in Washington. Earl Lis embarrassment on this question was not unreasonable, and those Ii questioned on the subject were just as unable 10 satisfy his curiosity as, probably. the majority oi the public would be.
 The fact is that, though the Presi- dent of the United States, in recent years, frequently has been absent
 from he Capital in the summer months, the nation is never left with cut an acting executive here. The practice, begun by Mr. Cleveland dur ing his first term and closely followed
 by Ar, Harrison, and again by Mir. 
 ieeeland in his present term, has
 heea 10 designate some special Cabi- net officer as the acting executive.
 llel.as full powers to represent the
 President in the event of any unfore- seen emergency arising in relations with any foreign power, this power
 heing notably exercised by Secretary
 Blaine in the settlement of the Ital- ian incident growing out of the Mafia lynehings in New Orleans. Pfesi- dent Cleveland has three Cabinet officers to whom he delegates his Ipower-Secretary Olney of the State Department, Secretary Carlisle of the
 Treasury and Secretary Lamont of the War Department. There never has been time during the summer
 wien one of these three men has not been on deck. When Olney went
 away Carlisle stayed here. When
 Carlisle went, Lamont remained. If
 any emergency arises calling for ex- eeuiiye action, the other Cabinet officers consult the man on deck. Mr Carlisle usually holds these con- iereuees at his house, and so also does Secretary Lamont, who seldom goes to the War Department in the dull season, and then only for q few
 minutes at Il time. Mr. Lamont is in charge now. If Lord Salisbury.
 through Ambassador Bay ard. should i cable an inquiry about the NcneZue- Ian afbitra ton, the reply woIitl go . aiti from the Statc Depart ment in tfe name of the President. but would
 be written by Secretary Lamont; oi course. after communicating with Gray Gables. if the eXigency seemed to justify it. No one but Carlisle.
 Olnpy and Lamont has ever been left in this responsible position by MT. Cleveland, butthe fact that each in turn has been Acting President has
 been well known to their Cabinet
 associates, though probably not so generally understood by the public.
