HAS A STOVE IN HIS CLOTHES.

Harmer, of Philadelphia, who has APP
piled for patent on his idea.
The storm outfit consists Of two
pieces, a bloomer-like skirt, which
hangs from the waist and also a coat.
The lower front of the skirt is filled
with very small carbon-burning stove,
which takes up but little room, and
gives out an astonishing amount of heat.
This stove is capable of regulation by
means of draught holes, which may be
opened or closed readily. The fuel is
supplied in round cakes, which are
placed in the lower part of the heater
from the outside.
The warm air rises and leaves the
skirt through openings in the upper
part. These suits are, however! COW
cred by the coat, and the air continues
circulating through the upper garment.
This circulation is facilitated by wire
spring lining in the coat, which holds
it slightly away from the body. The
carbon can be supplied at cost OF ten
cents dozen, and one of these will
burn from two to four hours, making
the cost of maintenance very cheap.

THE NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec. 16.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline OF
s to 10 points. Trading was light and
of small scalping nature. There
were no orders and fluctuations were
narrow. The decline was the result
of disappointing English advices and
continued free receipts at the ports
and in the interior. Shortly after
opening, prices improved points on
light local buying, but sold off again
under lack of support. At IL o'clock
the market was steady at net decline
Of to points.

After three successful days with

To the San Antonio Zouave Company.

q financial success as we expected, and
are sorry that we could not allow you
the hundred as we promised if it was
success, will extend our thanks to
the organization for services rendered.
(Signed) ]. G. Booth, pres't.
Henry e. Shelley, vice pres't.
A. +. Dechman, sec'y.
This was an astonisher to the
zouaves as it will be to the public
when it becomes generally known how
the matter stands. 1t will be a
deadener to the ambition of our mill
tia companies in future invitations to
participate in any general function
for the welfare of our city or neigh
boring pensioners and will have the
direct effect of resolution by the zou-
ayes at their next meeting of condem.
ming the management of such affairs.
Capt. Hernandez, of the zouaves
states that the expenses of the recent
sham battle and carnival were not
much over 100 and he knows the
receipts were $500 and $50 added
by subscription the total sum would
be about $1,000. The Belknaps were
paid sos the committee had promised
them toward their uniforms, but the
zouaves are left out
The itemized statement of the re-
ceipts and expenditures Of the Storm
ing of the Alamo carnival has not yet

that the toal receipts for the three

penses, $4,000. OF the expense &C

Teller was asked today for his opin-
ion of the proposition which it has
been stated would be Incorporated in
the new tariff for bullion silver, and
replied.
s'If they think they can catch SILVER
men by that they are mistaken. "
would only emphasize the claim OF the
gold men that silver Is a mere COM
modify. If duty of so cents per
ounce were placed on silver 1t would
not raise the price Of silver a cent:
The price of silver is fixed abroad
where it is used. The price OF Sill
yer is fixed in countries which use IL
for money and in the arts. We don I
use more than ten millions In the
