Not an Average Congressman.
From the Atlanta Journal (Dem).

Hon. Henry q. Turner has declined the
place on the committee on rules which
Speaker Reed rendered him because he be-
lleves IL should go to some democrat who
will be a member OF the next House. The
average congressman would never have
thought OF that view of the matter He
would have readily accepted the honor and
made the most Of IL for himself Mr.. Tur-
ner II not an average congressman, and
the fact that he Is 20 retire from the public
service on the 4th OF next March is cause
~ regret throughout the country.

Bay, South Carolina. 1t has been sug-
gested that the ex-queen has come here
TO ask for pension, and that the Presi-

nothing in the suggestion.

Cotton and Linen.

We are a cotton producing people, there
fore we wear linen. The Austrians are
linen producing people, therefore they
wear cotton. Consul General Judd, at
Vienna, sends the state department an in
teresting report with regard to the wear
ing of cotton in Austria, the people there
employing cotton fabrics in the making Of
articles of wearing apparel which Amer
leans always demand shall be made OF
linen. In Austria fully 90 per cent. of all
collars, cuffs and shirt fronts are made
of cotton. The material is called 'chif-
fon," but it is all cotton. "In appear
ance," says the consul general, "the chif-
fon looks like a very fine linen, takes a
gloss like linen, and no expert can tell
the difference before or after washing;
only by a chemical examination of the ar
ticle can the truth be told" The consul
general went to order some shirts, and
asked for a certain kind of linen front.
'You must be an American said the
salesman; "I can always tell an American
that way; they are our only customers
who ask for linen shirts" The salesman
asked permission of the consul general to
make him a few shirts with chiffon fronts,
and to supply him with collars and cuffs
of the same material. After wearing them
a short time, the consul declares, he could
not tell his cotton-bosom from his linen
bosom shirts. Nine ofeevery ten dealers
in gentlemen's furnishings in Vienna have
not so much as a sample of linen on their
shelves.
1t is stated that the chiffon is manufac-
tured and used largely in England and
Switzerland as well as in Austria. The
United States import yearly. ii is esti-
mated. 100000 worth of linen cloth to
be used in the shirt, collar and cuff manu-
featuring business. 1t seems that the
manufacturers of the United States would
endeavor to keep some part of this great
sum at home, if 1t is true that cotton
fabric can be made which cannot be told
from linen except through a chemical OK
animation. 1t would seem that American
manufacturers ought to be able, not only
to supply the home demand for shirt front
material, but TO compete in their own mar
ket with the Viennese chiffon makers. The
south will probably not be able to do any
thing in the way of chiffon making for
some time. But New England, who prides
herself upon her ability to maintain her
supremacy as a cotton manufacturing cen
ter because she can make fine goods,
ought to be able to beat the foreigners
at their own game Of making cotton-linen.

Both New Orleans and Chicago are con-
sidering ordinances designed for the pur-
pose of protecting the pavements. 1t is
urged, with reason, that it is poor policy
for the cities to go on spending large
sums of money for fine pavements, and
at the same time permit the pavements
to be torn and worn unnecessarily by
heavy vehicles with narrow-rimmed
wheels. The New Orleans ordinance pro-
poses that an annual tax shall be levied
on vehicles, the amount of the tax to be
diminished in proportion to the increased
width of wheels carrying a given weight
1t is believed that such a law would
have the effect of inducing owners of
freighting vehicles to put broad
rims on the wheels of their
carts and wagons. Heavy wagons, with
broad rims, roll more easily over any
sort OF roadway, and would be better for
owners, as well as for the streets. But
the people have got in a way of employing
harroW-nmmed wheels, and it is hard to
break them of the habit Millions of dol
lars are spent yearly in this country for
street paving, but only incidental atten
ton is given to preserving the pavements
after they have been laid.

rowed a revolver and sought the lovers.
As she entered the house he kissed

two minutes they fought. Lena firing
her pistol and Ella using the dagger.
Finally Miss Thomas got the muzzle
