Springfield, III, Aug. 28.-A State
Register special from Taylorville says
the miners there held a meeting and
by unanimous vote decided to remain
out. The Taylorville men, under COM
mand of John O'Hara, left Friday night
for Decatur. On their way they will be
joined by miners from Nilwood, Green
Ridge, Girard, Virden and Auburn, and
expect to have 1000 miners in Decatur

Pacific Railroad the Pan anna route, con-

Pacific Railroad, the Pan anna route, con-
trolled by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, and the Panama Railroad, the
Dearborn clipper line, Of which Williams,
Dimond & Co. are the agents in this City,
and the Flint clipper line. of which ]. F.
Chapman is the local agent.
All of these are said % be in one great
trust TO maintain rates, and form combi-
nation that its projectors believed TO be
strong enough snd diversified enough to
effectually strangle any attempt at inde-
pendent and Legitimate com petition be-
tween the two great ocean highways.
This com bination was formed since c.
P. Huntington was successful in breaking
up the independent service of the Panama
Company, about nineteen months ago.
The ruling spirit of this shipping trust is
said to be this same Huntington.
The new line has been started by the
Merchants Shipping Company of New
YORK and Philadelphia and is backed by
some of the largest capitalists in the East
ern States. 1t is to be known as the Argo-
naut Line. Henry D. Walls OF New York
is the general manager. He was formerly
the manager of the Ward line of steamers
i
of this City is to act as the general agent
of tie new line FOR the Pacific Coast.
1t is proposed to start the new service
via Cape Rorn with fleet of sailing YES
sells, which is later to be augmented by
the addition of mum Der of fast and COM
modious steamers. The latter will make
the trip in about fifty days. taking only
five days more than the time now made
via the Isthmus OF Panama, and there will
be no breaking of bulk. which is one of
the undesirable incidents connected with
the transhipmenta at the isthmus.
The first vessel placed in commission is
the Iroquois. She is ship of about 2500
tons ca pacity. She began loading yes ter
day at New York, and is expected to be
ready for her inaugural trip on the new
line in about two weeks. She will carry
ali kinds of merchandise. except perish
able goods. The Iroquois will be followed
by other vessels at regular Intervals of
about three weeks.
Negotiations relative to the new line
were in progress for several months.
From one of those intimately connected
with the enterprise comes the statement
that the new line is TO be perfectly inde-
pendent and free from any entanglipg al
liances with the existing lines. This
gentleman added that the enterprise is
not in any sense experimental, but that
the new line had come to stay.
An important advantage the new line
possesses over the old is that all Its vessels
will be loaded at covered wharves in the
East. The vessels operated by the trust
lines are loaded at open wharves, and
goods can only be loaded on them during
fiue weather. The Argonaut has it's own
covered wharves, where freight can be re-
ceiyed at any time and be well taken
care OF.
1t was also reported in shipping circles
Yesterday that the Johnson-Locke Mer-
camille Company is to be the San Fran
cisco agent of the new Japanese steam
ship company, whose four steamers are
now being built in Scotland. 1t is ex-
pected that the new trans Pacific line will
be ready 10 begin service early next year.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 19-It is
learned to- night that Governor Budd has
transferred the duties of his Office to Lieu
tenant-G overnor Jeter and that he has left
the State for Oregon, where he is spending
his time hunting and fishing. Not long
since an application was received for the
pardon of one Benjamin L. Hill, wife
murderer. Notice of this application was
sent to Budd in Oregon, and he imme-
diately sent word to Jeter to attend to the
matter and 10 fulfill the duties of Gov
ernor during his absence.
Budd's act in leaving the State gives to
Jeter all of the powers which are vested
in the Governor, and to-day he can issue
pardon, make appointments, cause re-
movaIs or Go anything that the Governor
is empowered by law to do.
Jeter, who is now in Santa Cruz, will be
in Sacramento Monday, and on the follow
ing day will listen 10 arguments for the
Hill pardon.
STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 19-The Mail
tonight prints the following: James Budd
is no longer acting as the Governor of the
State of California. William T. Jeter of
Santa Cruz now occupies the place of
ing been ma 70 in the highest Office of the
State. Governor Budd has transferred
his administrative mantle TO the shoulders
of his Lieutenant. The transfer was m ade
last Monday, when Miss Todman, the pri.
vate secretary OF Governor James II. Budd,
went TO Santa Cruz on an important MIS-
sion. The object of her trip was to inform
Mr.. Jeter of Governor Budd's determma-
ton to make him the chief executive.
| For some reason or other the tranfer OF
| authority has not as yet become public
As far as the Mail is aware. this is the first
publication announcing the change. Mr..
Jeter has had singular political expe-
rience. During the gubernatorial cam
paign he remarked, in the course of a
speech on the plaza in this city, that he
had had bad luck and that he expected to
be left by the wayside when the ballots
were counted up, but congratulated him
self on the prospect of seeing Mr. Budd
elected Governor anyhow. His predic-

In Ceylon, according TO an English

There seems to be an impression

discover to their cost.

An Indian territory genius has
evolved a sail for the bicycle that will
enable cyclists to scoot along before a

their part. This invention had better
be kept in Indian territory. Nearly

something to make the wheelmen go

A well-known physician says: mo
sport or pastime under the sun ap-
peals more strongly to the weak and in

to overdo it is very great. Cycling is a
pastime for the delicate, but unless this

to overstrain of the heart and other
vital organs. A GOLDEN rule to all deli

Spelling CHILDREN.
There Are Many Ways in Which This
Task liz Accomplished.

IL isn't a difficult task TO spoil a
child. No great art is demanded in ac-
complishing this result. Make all the
nurses wait on him and fly at his bid
ding, writes DR.. Talmage. Let him
learn never to go for drink, but al
ways have it brought to him. At ten
years of age have Bridget tie his shoe
strings. Let him strike auntie because
she will not get him sugar plum.
He will soon learn that the house is
his realm, and he is to rule it. He will
come up into manhood one of those
precious spirits that demand obeisance
and service, and with the theory that
the world is his oyster which with his
knife he will proceed to open. But if
the child be insensible to all such
efforts to spoil him, try the plan of
never saying anything encouraging to
him. If he do wrong. thrash him
soundly; but if he do well keep On
reading the newspaper, pretending not
to see him. There are excellent people,
ing childish vanity, are unre-
sponsive to the very best en-
deavor. When a child earns parental
applause he ought to have it. If he get
up head at school, give him book or
an apple. If he saw bully on the play
ground trampling on a sickly boy, and
your son took the bully by the throat
so tightly that he became little varie-
gated in color, praise your boy, and let
him know that you love to have him the
champion Of the weak. Perhaps you
would not do right a day if you had no
more prospect of reward than that
which you have given him. If on COM
mencement day he make the best
speech, or read the best essay. tell him
of it Truth is always harmless, and
the more you use of it the better. If
your daughter at the conservatory take
the palm, give her new piece of mu-
sic, ring. kiss. or blessing. Never
withhold due need of praise.-House-

ITO develop it satisfactorily get about
. yard of good quality ivory surah silk,
q half yard of leaf green Roman satin,
a quarter of yard of bright yellow
pongee silk, some stiff cardboard, and a
small quantity of wadding.
Everybody knows the arrangement
and shape of marguerite petals. Cut
out about 16 petals from some cross
bar white muslin, the petals to be from
three to four inches long and three
eourths of an inch wide. As a center

12-inch circumference and lay quite
two-inch depth of the wadding upon it,
being careful, however, TO place the
padding thicker in the center, so that
the rounded heart Of the natural flower
may be reproduced. To keep the wad-
ding in place cover it with a piece of
ahin white muslin, which can be
gummed TO the underneath part, and
then sew on the petals, arranging them
no that the shorter ones may come on
top of the longer.
