The members of the legislature of
North Carolina have decided to impress
upon the country at large their belief
that Providence especially favors their
state, by dispatching travelling mu-
scum East, West, North and South,
to show to the wondering public in
every city, town and hamlet that North
Carolinians are the salt Of the earth
and their state the particular spot on
the map to which the eyes Of every
one seeking to get the most out of
this life should be attracted. The car
has just been completed, and the var
nish on it's glittering sides is now dry
ing in the yards of the company by
which it was constructed at Whining
ton. Del 1t is beautiful piece Of work,
and without doubt the most novel car
that ever travelled over a railroad.
The novelty of the car itself, how
ever, is not the only attraction it will
possess The contents of the car will
be the most interesting aggregation of
exhibits ever shown in travelling con-

Canadian water route is not only prac-
ticable, but the easiest and cheapest
route of all. When told that derOga-
tory reports had appeared in Chicago
concerning the Edmonton route, War
mOlts and Book were indignant. They
say that any man who condemns the
Edmonton route does not base his re-
marks on facts.
On their return trip, Warmolts and
Book walked from Fort Resolution to
Fort Smythe, 225 miles, packing their
provisions with the assistance of an
Indian. At Fort Smythe they secured
a train of dogs and went along the
ice on the edges of the river to Fort
Chippewayan, where additional dogs
were bought, with which they reached
Heart lake, 200 miles north of Edmon-
ton, which town was reached by team.
The whole distance, some 1900 miles,
was covered in thirty-One days actual
travelling, the remainder of the time
being spent in Hudson bay forts and
mails. They report having passed sew
per man could be made, with lard
work, but as their destination was the
headwatCrs of the Peel river they did
not stop. The people along the route,
both Hudson bay officers, Indians and
halfbreeds, all treated the KIondikers
we'll and gave them evry assistance.
The two travellers are in first-class
health, and say they never felt better
in their lives They leave for Chicago
tonight.

CALGARY, N. w. T. Dec. Ill
Warmolts, Of Chicago, leader of the
Warmolts overland expedition to the
Yukon, accompanied by Edward Book
arrived here last night from Fort Res

north of Calgary, where the rest of the
party, twelve in number, are camped
for the winter in substantial build

pany The Warmolts expedition left
Chicago Aug. 25 and reached Fort Res

basca river and Slave lake in boats
which took ten days to build. War

turn with Warmolts three small chill
dren and additional supplies to Join
their friends at Fort Resolution, whom
they report to be happy and well, with
plenty of provisions, including fresh

without accident, and the party are

HE IS NEXT TO DINGLEY.
Stevens Only Claim for Distinction
in Congress.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Congress-
man Stevens was not born to shine III
a reflected light; but he is In the
penumbra of a man Of great reputation
today. His seat is beside that OF Con-
gresham Dingley, of Maine, the lead
er of the house of representatives, ana
Stevens does not secure anything IKE
as much attention as the man beside
him.
But that is because Stevens is new
man in congress, and Dingley is
veteran. If the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis of Minnesota were wise, and II
the Republicans and Democrats OF all
Northern states were wise, they would
follow the example of the Southern
states, and keep their best men con-
stantly in congress, until they achieve
distinction, and the power which goes
with distinction.
If the ST. Paul district is to be Re-
publican, it should keep one man to
the front until the eyes of the nation
are upon him. If the district is to be
Democratic, it should keep one man
to the front until he is the leader OF
the house.

WIDRIC UP FOR LIFE
Found Guilty Of the Murder
of His Wife.
HIS DAUGHTER THE CHIEF WITNESS.
Before Sentence Was Passed lie Made a
sthtement-AcI<nowle HIS Guilt
and Claimed to Have Repented
the AtrocIous Crims.

BUFFALO, Dec. 4.-Warren Widrig
has been found guilty Of murder in the
second degree for the killing of his
wife on the night Of Friday, Aug. 6, at
Springvllle Erie county. and sentenced
to Imprisonment for life In Auburn pris-
on. The principal witness against Wild
rig was his 15-year-old daughter Mercy,
she having been present at the time Of
the shooting.
Before sentence had been passed upon
him Widrig asked permission TO make a
statement. Being told by Justice Wood
ward that he could do so. Widrig said:
Il would like to say in the presence
of the court and of all these witnesses
that there have been many things in
my life which 1 would like to recall.
There have been many things / have
done, not for the sake Of gain and the
acquiring of more property or for gam
bling or pleasure Of any kind, but for
my family-to be able to take care Of
them better and give them comforts
was not honestly able TO supply"
In a rather rambling way he got down
TO the history of the crime and told it
in about the same terms as the witt
nesses for the prosecution have told Of
his telling it in the jail.
when 1 saw my wife standing
there" he continued, Il snatched out
my pistol and shot her down. Yes, gem
tlemen, I did 1t. but before God 1 don't
know why I did it, and 1 did not in
tend TO do it when / went over there"
After sentence had been imposed
Widrig again addressed the court, say,
ing that it would have been preferable
to him If the jury had found him guilty
as charged in the indictment, although
he protested that II was not true that
he had intended to kill his wife.
but if the verdict Of the jury had
been that 1 was guilty of murder in
the first degree" said he, 1T would
have meant that I should have passed
over to the other side the sooner and
meet her, who is most dear to me. l
have no fears of what lies beyond this
life. I have sincerely repented the
wrongs / have done, and / know that in
the life beyond / shall meet her again,
and she will understand how honestly
have tried to make amends for my

puN's REVIEW.
The Outlook Tor business as Indicated
by the Weeks Showing.


NEW YORK, Dec. 4.--The monthly
report of failures by Dun & Co. shows
defaulted liabilities Of $1l ,610.19 in No
vember against Si2,7OOS56 last year.
Because OF three large failures for 49,
$50, 900, not due to present conditions.
the aggregate in November was only
Si.1O0.O0O less than last year, and except
Tor these would have been smaller than
in August, September or October. The
decrease in nearly all branches of busi-
ness shows that payments have been
remarkably good and defaults unusual
~ small.
Other evidences OF the state of busi-
ness are convincing, except in specula-
tive lines. Wages have been voluntari-
" advanced for nearly 10000 workers in
woolens and iron. Stocks are some-
what stronger having advanced $l.47
for railways and $l.57 for trusts, and
the placing Of a refundng loan for $780,
O0O 600 on the Illinois Central has affect
ed other securities, not without reason.
The true value Of American railway
stocks is steadily rising with earnings,
which for November thus far are 20.9
per cent larger than last year and 81
per cent in the same weeks OF 1892.
IL is the season for waiting in most
industries. but at least one other fur
mace has gone into blast and the lowest
price OF bessemer at Pittsburg, after
purchases OF $4,000 tons. IS Sl0.15 per
ton. with 1925 for gray forge.
The voluntary advance Of 20 per cent
in wages of worsted workers at Provi-
dence, restoring the rates OF 1898, is ev-
idence OF the prosperity of that manu-
facture.
The wheat market has deceived ev-
erybody dropping in the face Of an
enormous foreign demand just when
some advance might reasonably have
been anticipated. The western re-
ceipts. 6,ss2,425 bushels, against 1854,
621 last year for the week. and for five
weeks 80, ,962 529 bushels against 2O,Sll,-
45G last year for the same weeks, are
just now more impressive In the mar
ket than the Atlantic exports which
have been 4.1S7,672 bushels, -four in
oluded. for the week. against 2,079,457
last year, and for FIVE weeks l16JI4Il
bushels against 9,s17,15 FOR the same
weeks last year.
But in the long run the outward
movement viii affect prices although
the surprisingly large increase at the
west Indicates a considerably great
er yield than has been anticipat-
ed. So the enormous receipts of cotton
from plantations, exceeding those To
date from the great crop of about 10,
600 900 bales in 1894. tend 20 check all
speculation. although both foreign and
domestic demands for spinners have
been materially restricted.

Report of bureau of Navigation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The annual
report of the bureau of navigation has
been transmitted to Secretary Gage. 1t
comprises $50 pages, including stalls
tical tables. Commissioner Chamber
lain shows that as the result of ad-
ministrative changes and legislation
brought about by the bureau during the
last four years an annual continuing
gain to the government of $4,000 has
been effected and a saving in the bur-
dens on ship owners Of SS1,000 The an
nual appropriation for the bureau is
less than $4,000.
After pointing out the nature of our
expenditures for maritime purposes.
amounting annually to about $50 900, 900.
the report dwells upon the different
methods of raising money to meet these
expenditures in the United States and
Great Britain, showing that three
fourths of the tonnage in foreign trade
entering and clearing ports of the Unit
ed Kingdom is British shipping. yet
vessels are taxed TO maintain the light
house service and for other maritime
purposes in that country. Though three
fourths of the tonnage in foreign trade
entering and clearing ports of the Unit
ed States is foreign, foreign shipping
contributes only about S650,000 to ouI
expenditure of $2O,OOOOOO. The United
States is more liberal in it's charges to-
ward British. German and French ship
ping than are those countries respect
lively to their shipping. This matter is
referred to as one requiring the con-
sideratiOn of congress.
Seven bills relating to the merchant
marine in addition to those introduced
at the special session. are submitted
