On another occasion Captain Sigsbee
deliberately sank his ship TO save her
from still worse fate. He was in COM
mand Of the coast survey steamer Blake
and was anchored in a West Indian
port when hurricane came up, and
in the heavy sea the ships anchors be
gan 20 drag. She was drifting to utter
and inevitable destruction ON reef
Where she lay there was soft, sandy
bottom. The captain ordered her scut.
lied. and down she went. Later she was
pumped out and raised-an expensive
operation, but far less costly than build
ing new ship. -Munsey's Magazine.

The pat lotto party given at the
palRtial home of Mr.. and Mrs d, B.
Smoot by the Trinity club last night
was attended by 200 people. The party
was given for the purpose OF raising
money to purchase a flag for the okla

the entertainment were a trihe too
heavy TO admit OF great outlay for
the flag. The Elks' mandolin club fur

enjoyed themselves dancing on the
large lawn platform, Punch and other
refreshments were served A musical

WILD TURKEYS.

a letter from King George county
says:
Since the scarcity of wild turkeys il
the Northern Neck and many other
parts of the State has become subject
OF such general complaint, your CORES
pondent has been requested by TWO
widely-circulated newspapers TO ex
plain, if possible, why this class of
game has decreased, while nearly all
small game has increased. The con-
clusion reached, after a careful study
aud investigation Of the subject, is brief
ly this: For FIVE years past rabbit-hunt-
ing has been very popular, and extrava-
igantly INDUCED in, and, consequently,
the country has been well-nigh over.
whelmed with "rabbit-days" for several
wears: and il is a well-known habit of
all rabbit dogs" to scan the woods and
old fields, from the first warm days in
March until the last of May, in search
OF, and to feast Oh, the tiny young rab-
bits, which are easily caught. While
daily hunting the infant rabbits, these
dogs find many wild turkey nests, and,
OF course, eat the eggs. The turkeys,
easily frightened, refugee" to some
other district, lay more eggs, but meet
with the same experience-and this
egg eating by the dogs gees on until the
laying season ends, with the result that
very few wild turkeys come into exis
tence. And it may he safely predicted
that, if multitudes of dogs continue to
run at large through the forests during
the spring months, wild turkeys will
be as scarce in Virginia FIVE years
hence as white deers" are now.

Two Pointed Questions answered.

w OlhNNN ~ $500 ~ 49,
What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
get better price for ii?
Ans.-As there is 10 difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter. so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.

CLUBBING RATES.
How to Secure Reading Matter For
Next Year at Lowest Prices.

We have made an extra effort this
year to secure for the benefit of our
readers extra low clubbing rates, so
that by ordering their reading matter
all at once they can secure it at the
lowest possible prices. We have OBJ
tanned especial rates from many pub
and by materially reducing the
price of our own paper when ordered
in this way, we have been able to make
rates SO low that no person can afford
to be without the best papers Of the
country. Below is our list, which will
be increased as rapidly as we are able
to secure satisfactory terms from pub
fishers. We can get almost any perio-
dical published for you at less money
than it will cost you, no matter
whether you are subscriber to our
paper or not. These prices compel us
to require that cash in aGlvonoe for the
full amount accompany all orders.
Remember the price Of PUBLIC OPINION
is $3.50 per year, and by . comparison
Of these rates you will readily ~ how
cheap the publications become when
dubbed together: Oar prices are way
below those made by other papers, and
we can save you money on any pub
lication. Watch this list. 1t grows
larger every week.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S. Review of Trade
issued January l, gives out the follow
ing intelligence:
Failures for the year which closed
last night have been smaller than in
any other year since 1892, in number
smaller than in any year except in
1895, and in average liabilities per
failure smaller than in any other year
during the last twenty-three, except
four. The aggregate Of all failures,
commercial and banking, was $780,
600, 900, of which 81, 800, 900 was in
banking. In the 1890 commercial
failures the amount Of liabilities was
$l54, 800, 900. Of which $89, ,OO0, 900 was
in manufacturing and $78, 100000 in
trading, with $12, 100, 900 in brokerage
and other commercial lines. The aver
age liabilities per failure were only
$ll $50, and in 1892 only $l1, ,O25; but
only three years In the last twenty
three were rivals-1888 with $11, ,595,
1885 with $ll ,651, and 1885 with $l1, ,O7s.
The new year opens with conditions
radically different from those which
prevailed q year ago. A great finan-
cial distrust existed then, but 1t has
passed away. After a whole year Of
entire freedom of disturbance or
alarm, in which the country had y
heavy foreign indebtedness, 1t has
taken and paid many millions for
stocks sent from abroad and accumu-
lated credits against other credits rep
resented by merchandise balances of
more than $S2O, ,OOO, 900 in its favor for
the past five months, with deferred
exchanges for more than $40, 600, 900
held by New York banks alone, while
the great industries have been pushing
their way into foreign markets with
unprecedented success, and the none
tary system Is no longer q source Of
anxiety.
More than half q million men in q
few states, according to official reports
employed now, were idle q year ago,
and the general advance In wages for
those employed have gone far to restore
the rates prevailing before the panic.
