ing of store orders, or other devices, all of which are forbidden by law, could not be hindered in placing, however unjustly thls additional tax on the amount of such orders upon his em- ploye, This bill deprives the laboring man of the means of obtaining credit, either from his employer or from any body else, and would make him in addi- ton thereto pay the tax sought to be imposed by this measure, If the bill should become a law he must either pay cash for his coal, meat, clothing, and other necessaries of life, or go without them, or pay 10 per cent. above what any other man would have to pay to get credit for such necessaries.
 This is a good piece of work. Now if the company stores could be vetoed more good would be done.

GOLD IN TH g sUUTH.

If you must go mining and want to go farther away than Orange you can go into the southern part of this coun- try where it is much warmer than it is in Alaska and where you can be req sonably sure of escaping starvation. It is known that there is gold in North and South Carolina, Virginia. Georgia. Alabama and Tennessee. The total output of these southern mines in lit- tie less than one hundred years has been $45, 565, 483 Nearly half of that came from North Carolina, Georgia ranking second in production, and South Carolina third. Since 1891, how ever, South Carolina has led in the output. With the Improvements in mining and milling processes which have come about within the past few years new attention has been directed to these southern gold fields. Old mines are again being developed and found to have most valuable deposits, and
 
 new ones in new localities are being discovered. "The modern processes will enable the southern gold mines to be worked to the fullest extent" an officer of the Southern railroad says, tand the world will probably soon awaken. to the fact that what was pop ularly supposed to be worked-out re- zion is in reality one of the greatest gold-bearing belts of the continent. Mining properties in the South can be purchased very cheaply, and with ex- perienced and intelligent mining. oper- atiN-- -~r be conducted at small cost. 9

1T THE BLOCK.

The term for which MT. Dewell was appointed ends tonight at F o'clock, and unless our kindly and sagacious rulers make some change in the pro- gramme or the county commissioners are recalcitrant off will go his head. And then, although the public will per- haps not hear about it, there will be scene like that which took place at a historic beheading in England. When the fatal chop had been made one of the noble and right honorable gentle men in attendance felt moved to re- mark, s'So perish all the enemies of the gospel!" And another noble and right honorable gentleman solenlnly said 'Amen!'' When Mir. Dewell has been beheaded one of the noble and right honorable members of the gang will say, "So perish all who dare to oppose Us!'' And there will be chorus of ''Amens" from the other noble and right honorable members of the gang. And the hearts and heads of the gang will greatly swell with the conscious ness of power exercised for the public good, with incidental protection for the gang.

young man didn't know that, or he would have been ready to dodge.
 The young man, it may be explained, Just to show that everything was in ac- cordance with the rules of polite so- ciety, never had met the old gentle man, but he had met the old gentle mans wife and the old gentlemans daughter, and had been invited to call whenever he was in the city, and it so happened he was in the city this lovely Sunday afternoon.
 "Is-aw-Miss Brown in?" asked the young man.
 Now it so happened that the old gentleman had his opinion of any one who said "aw," and it was not a flat tering one, either Consequently he growled out something to the effect that she was not in.

 The old gentleman didn't know, but he took 1t for granted, and made no further comment.
 Then 1t seemed to dawn upon the young man, who was fumbling for a card, that perhaps he had made mis- take.

 Tt is not" the old gentleman re- turned, bluntly.
 "Oh-aw-beg a thousand pardons," said the young man. Thought it was, you know. So sorry My mistake" He was turning away when another thought occurred to him, and he quick ly turned back again. Can you-aW--tell me where she aw-llves?" he asked. Here" replied the old gentleman. But you told me- T told you 1t wasn't her house, and it isn't her house." interrupted the old gentleman Its my house.

SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE BOM-
 BAY PLAGUE.

The preliminary report of the. medi- by the Imperial Academy of Science in Vienna for the study of the plague is addressed in the first place to the med- ical profession, but it contains a va riety of particulars of general interest. The expedition, which reached Bom- bay on February 20, speaks in terms of warm recognition of the facilities af- forded to them by the government au- thorities and the medical officers. Their first task was to secure a sufficient SUD- ply of material for their investigations, and this was one of very great diffi- culty, as the natives-Parsee, Moham- medan and Hindu-put every obstacle in the way of post-mortem examina- tions. With the assistance, however, of Colonel Gatacre chairman of the plague committee, the first officer of health, and the Parsee doctor, in charge of one of the principal hospitals, they were ultimately able to secure all the subjects they required.
 Up to the time of their arrival there had practically been no thorough scien- tific examination of the plague. Eng land had sent no special commission to Bombay, and, owing to the scarcity of medical assistance, the English doc- tors engaged there were too much oc- cupied for any close study of the dis ease. Up to that time there had only been some forty dissections in ala circumstance which shows how ex- tremely difficult it was to obtain sub- jects. When, however, the expedition was established in the hospital referred to it came into possession of wealth of clinical and anatomical material so that it was enabled to supply other in- vestigators, such as the German and Russian commissions. 1t was at the same time in a satisfactory position of complete independence, and could base it's judgment upon the results of it's own inquiries
 The material thus collected included full and exact descriptions of the pro- gress of over seventy eases, together with particulars of forty seven ana tomical and meteorological investiga- tions. It states that the anatomical symptoms of the plague are in general very characteristic, and present no marked resemblance to those typical of any known disease. In the great major ity of cases the bacilli from which it originates enter the body through the skin, in a second and much smaller category through the lungs, and In a third through the tonsils The inves- legations went to provide this bac- illus was unquestionably the sole cause

Of the plague. It was not easy to as- certain the period of incubation, but there was reason to believe that it did not extend beyond four or five days. In number of animals inoculated with the virus changes were observed anal ogous to those produced in the human body The rat was the only animal in which spontaneous infection was noticed, Great numbers of these were found dead in the districts of Bombay where the plague was exceptionally violent The epidemic was propagated either directly from man to man, or from an animal such as the rat to man. or indirectly through infected ar tieles of clothing, dust, etc.
 In the opinion of the expedition, the introduction of the plague into Aus trian seaports through imported goods is improbable, considering the nature of the baccilus. Under careful medi- cal supervision it is also unlikely to be introduced by infected persons. At the some time it is considered just possi- ble that it may find entrance there through the rats from which no ship is free.-London Times

now bright colors are at a premium on small headgear, and aside from up standing aigrettes or wings, the trim ming is massed compactly. The artist puts d pretty model here a green straw whose brim was in novel coarse braid and whose crown was very like chip. A wreath of pale pink roses encircled the gown, which was topped by a lace jabot and three large roses. Against the two black wings lace frills were masked, falling against the hair.
 Many women seem to have given up in helpless bewilderment before the wonderful offers of variety in hats. and the bow as part of the doing of the hair and the headdress are more and more in vogue Women are taking, too, to wearing the hair high at the back of the head, and tying 1t there with big stiff bow, the ends of which spread in all directions The tail" of the hair is braided and doubled under, just es- caping the nape of the neck The bow hides the awkward curve caused by gathering tight to the head the entire thickness of the hair. If the tail of hair is not long enough to permit the doubled braid, then the locks are wrap ped loosely over the bow so that the ends and loops stand up among the twists of hair. A very little hair thus makes a very good showing, and the entire effect is very cocky and becom- ing to the right girl, The right girl need not be absolutely pretty, either, for this headdress belongs to the 'ef- fective' class that looks so we'll on some kinds of homely girl that the genuine beauty Is green with envy

THE DROUGHT BROKEN.

The drought was broken yesterday af- ternoon and the crops have had water enough for awhile. So have the people. Of course if it should be very dry again they would murmur, but just now they feel as if they could stand a long spell of good corn weather. If it doesn't rain any more for awhile we hope there will be earnest and prolonged discussion of the decrease in rainfall caused by the destruction of the forests" We don't need any more rainfall just now, but if this summers weather has been caused by the destruction of the forests something should be done about it. Meanwhile let us humidly sing Will you love me when I mould?"

The Panama canal project is being pushed with considerable energy, and it looks as though there were good req sons for the faith of the men who have charge of it that the work will be car ried to completion, says Victor Wifi quain, United States consul general at Panama, The French company, he says, learned a great deal by it's former sad experiences in the prosecution of the work, and is now carrying on the enterprise with the strictest economy and method. The company no longer hires contractors, but does all the work itself. There are about five thousand laborers employed upon 1t, the majority of whom are Jamaica negroes. On the Pacific side splendid wharf Is being constructed at a cost of $1,000, ,000, so that vessels can come into port with out having to pay costly lighterage charges. About one-fourth of the canal is completed, and it is demonstrated that the entire work can be finished at a very reasonable expenditure. The company, it is said. has funds enough to continue operations for two years more. It has splendid modern machin- cry, and the labor of cutting through the mountains, that was once deemed almost insurmountable, is now easily accomplished

THE M CULLAGH INQUEST.
THE FAMOUS EDITORS of'A -
WAS DOUBTLESS A CASE of
SUICIDE.
The TESTIMONY Of HIS PHYSICIAN
Dr Hughes Stated That NcCuhasn
Had Evidently Once Before Az
tempted to End His Llfe-he
Acted Strangely of Late

St Louis, Jan. 1.-The inquest on tne
bodv of Joseph B. McCullagh' late eu'-
+or of the Globe-Democrat. whose re-
mains were found yesterday morning
under his bed room window began 'o-
day.
If developed the startling fact, through
the testimony of DR.. c. II. Hughes' MI
McCullagh's physician, that the Ut
caosed made what was at the time
thought TO be an attempt at suicide, Oh
December % last. On that day. IT,
Hughes testified, he called on Mr.. MIC
Culogh and left with him a bounce
hottie containing two ounces OF meui-
cine, which would have stopped the ac-
tion of the heart. That same night MI
McCullagh took an ounce OF the meui-
cine enough to have caused death, Dut
wbicb owing to the weak condition OF
his stomach, was Immediately rejected.
When DR.. Hughes called the next morn
ing he was greatly alarmed and asked
Mr. McCullagh if he had taken that
amount. an evasive answer beng given.
DR. Hughes testified that he was salts
fed Mr.. McCulagh had not taken the
medicine by mistake. The physician at
once connected this alarming circum-
stances with a conversation had with
Mr.. McCulagh shortly before, in which
the latter spoke of the death of Abra-
ham Lincoln, saying that he died at a
good time, and that when any man out
lived his usefulness it was time for him
to go.
DR.. Hughes then testified as to Mr..
McCullagh's strange and eyasive man
ner on the day preceding his death, and
concluded his testimony with the posi-
tive statement that his impression was
that the case was one of suicide.
Liveryman Louis C. Bohle, the closest
personal friend of the deceased. was also
to have testified, but as he failed to APP
pear, the examination was continued
until tomorrow morning.
Today Mrs. Mckee, daughter of the
original proprietor of the Globe-DemO-
crat, accompanied by a friend, went out
to Belfonte cemetery and selected a To-
cation for the grave of the deceased,
which will be in the Mckee family lot.
Mr.. William Berry Armstrong,
nephew of the deceased, arrived from
Chicago this morning, and Mrs. Rachel
SOuter a sister, is expected to arrive
from Brooklyn, n. Y, Saturday.
A mass meeting of the newspaper men
will be held tomorrow for the purpose
of taking appropriate action on the death
of Mr.. McCullagh.
The funeral, tomorrow afternoon, will
be very simple. The eight pail bearers
have been selected from the heads of de-
partments of the Globe Democrat. The
list of honorary pail bearers has not been
made out yet, but it will consist of lead
ing citizens of st. Louis, principally rep
resentatives of the republican party.
