NEVER roucIlED A HAIR.


Oakland, Cal, August 26.-Georse
Lerri, three and one-half years old,
was run over by Southern Pacific
train on the narrow guage road in this
city and escaped without scratch.
The train was moving down the grade
at the rate of thirty miles an hour
when the little fellow stumbled. He
fell just in front Of the pilot OF the
engine, where the sections hands had
been excavating. His baby form just
filled the excavation and the entire
train passed over him. He was I'M
conscious when picked up. but soon
recovered and is apparently as we'll as
ever.

and now that the way is made clear
for his presence, it will bring a larger
number of other prominent people
here than would otherwise have at
tended. Then the same cause, the end
of the war, that has made it certain
that the President will be here will
allow many others to come whose
presence was doubtful. Among this
number is no less parsonage than the
Commander-in-Chief of the Grand
Army, J. P. S. Goblin himself. Gen
eral Goblin was commissioned a briga-
dier-general and was with his COM
mand at point ready to go to the
front at once. Had there been hard
fighting at the time of the encamp-
ment it would have made his presence
a matter of doubt
1t is anticipated that some of the
prominent figures in the Spanish war
will be in Cincinnati during the en-
campment, and Richmond Pearson
H0bson has already promised Rear
Admiral Kelly, of the Naval Veterans
Union that he will be present if his
duties do not interfere. That promise
was given during the progress of the
war and it is anticipated that the hero
Of the Merrimac will surely be there.
Admirals Sampson and Schley will be
invited and especial stress is being
laid by the Citizens Committee on its
endeavor to secure the presence Of
Rear Admiral Dewey, the shining light
of the great American navy. The
committee is not without hope that
this may be accomplished especially
since there has been an intimation
that Admiral Dewey would be sum-
moned to his native soil in order to
confer with the government about
matters of great Importance in connec-
ton with the disposition OF the Philip
pines.

Postal Savings Hanks,

Washington, Jan. a7.-The senate
committee on post offices and post roads
Wednesday had under consideration
the ndvlsabiilty Of establishing the
scheme of postal savings banks in the
United States. The discussion was gem
eral, and the only conclusion reached
was that Senators Mason and Butler
should prepare the bill, which could be
used as base for future deliberations
This was done because of the fact that
there were large number of measures
before the committee all looking to the
same end. 1t is intended that the bill
to be prepared by Messrs. Mason and
Butler shall suppant all these, and they
were requested to have it in shape to
he taken up at the next meeting, to be
held q week hence.

In their weekly review Of trade, say:
"With volume Of business remarkable
for the time of year, IS per cent. larger
than q year ago. aud 104 per cent. large"
than in 1892 in payments through clearing
houses, 1t is not discouraglng that one or
two Industries are tagging. The demand
for most goods Is more heavy for the sea-
son. manufacturing works are better eln-
ployed and orders booked and IN prospect
for the future are more encouraging than
at this season in any other year OF which
equally definite records exist Exports of
products continue surprisingly heavy. in
spite of some rise in prices. Treasury re-
ceipts from customs were larger In 20 days
of January than In the entire month Of Oc-
tober or November. and apprehension re-
garding the monetary future Ia no longer
felt outside OF speculative circles. Failures
are considerably smaller than were ever
known at this season. both banking and
trading less than half last years. Rail-
road earnings In January thus far reported
have been l7.G per cent. larger than last
year. and lO3 per cent. larger than in 1892
The rise in wheat above dollar in reg.
ular sales was not accompanied by signs Of
speculative excitement. In fact. the con-
tinuance OF extraordinary efforts would
give excuse for high prices even II corn
exports were not enough to suggest great
foreign need. The fact that cargoes Of corn
were shipped during the week to Egypt
and Russia. the very countries upon which
Europe most relies for breadstufrs next to
the United States. affected trade not un-
reasonably.
THE great strike of operatives in cotton
mills of New England seems as convenient
to mill owners with their heavy stocks as
If they had ordered 1t. Probably 1t will last
long enough to work of stocks, and the
print cloth market Is already about one
per cent. stronger, while a slight advance
is noted in some other cotton goods.
