Money For Europe.

IErom the New York World.1
A steamship clerk said that 80, 900
first cabin tourists have sailed from
the port of New York to Europe during
what is known in the business as the
summer season. The winter season does
not begin till the middle of July, and
on some lines the summer season lasts
till August.
It is likely that more than 100, 900 sa-
loon passengers will have sailed for
Europe from this country this season,
and fully three-fOurths of these will
nav Q booked on the lines running out
CT New York.
Nearly all the lines running to north
ern Europe have their cabin accommo-
dc lions engaged fun up in both first
and second cabins.
4 never saw anything like it, said
the chief passenger agent of the White
away passengers for our sailing of July
u. 1t shows that people have plenty
of money this year.
The amount of money, including their
fales, carried by cabin tourists fOOts up
to the enormous figure of between $780,
CO.., 200 and $3.50. 600 900. A letter of credit
for 1880 is a conservative estimate of
the amount with which the average
traveller provides himself. Few start
with less, tens of thousands take more.
A half a million steera ge passengers
show that the avera ge amount of money
brought into the country by immigrants
is between $14 and SIS, so that against
the enormous disbursement CT American
dollars in Europe only about $500, 600
will be brought here by steerage passen-
gers in case the estimate of the years

a SAD AFFLICTION.
Carbondale Young Lady Suffering
With Malady That Puzzles Doctors.

Carbonate. Kan. June 20-There is
a case of sickness here that has baffied
the skill of every physician in town and
is proving one of the most peculiar
cases within the knowledge of the oldest
inhabitants of Carbonate. Maud
Burch, young lady of twenty one
years, and an accomplished whistler
and mimic, has for several weeks been
suffering from a singular case of
cramps
The girls feet are first affected, and
then the contraction of the muscles pro-
ceeds up the limbs. body, neck and even
to the crown of the head, leaving the
victim unconscious and horribly dis
torted.
The strength of three strong men is
required to pull the suffering girl back
into proper shape after one of her spas
modic spells.
After regaining consciousness Miss
Burch is cheerful and smiling and seems
to make light of her strange aff1iction.
Her mother is a helpless invalid. haV-
ing for years been a sufferer from in
fammatOry rheumatism. This accounts
for the girls apparent light heartedness.
So far the doctors here have failed to
diagnose the case of Miss Burch, nor
can they administer any remedy that
will relieve her from her fearful malady.

GIRLS CLOSE A MILL.
200 Refused to Weave Silk at the
Rate of Four Cents a Yard.

New York, June 2O.-The Home silk
mills of Haverstraw were closed yes
terday on account of a strike of 200
girl employees.
The girls while learning to be weav-
ers had been paid from 81 to So per
week. When competent to go on piece
work they were paid but four cents per
yard. This schedule caused considera-
BILE dissatisfaction. it being claimed the
best weavers in the mill could weave
but 16 yards a day. They demanded
six cents per yard on small looms and
ten cents on large ones.
The manager discharged three of the
girls whom he had been informed were

COURT Law UPHELD.
Judge Skidmore Decides That the Cof-
feyville Measure Is Not Uncon-
stitutionaL

independence. June 2o.-Judge Skid
more, of the district court, handed
down an important decision today in
the case against the city court of Cof-
feyville, recently created by a special
act of the legislature. This act de-
prived the justices of the peace in the
towns where city courts were created
of their jurisdiction, and practically
abolished them.
AS justices of the peace are created
by the constitution, it was claimed that
the legislature had no authority to
abolish the offices, and that. for that
reason, the special act was unconstitu-
tional. Judge Skidmore held today that
the legislature had authority to estab-
lish a city court, and that the special
act was constitutional. This is the first
decision on this matter. and it will be
taken to the supreme court. Several
other similar cases are pending in diff
ferent parts of the state.

TO TEST DOG TAX Law.
Fort Scott Man Says His Dog Is His
Body Guard.

Fort Scott, June 2O.-This city re-
Gently passed an ordinance making it a
misdemeanor for anyone to keep a dog
without paying taxes on it, and yester-
day afternoon ]. A. YeakeI, a prominent
merchant, was arrested for violating
the ordinance.
He raises the novel defense that the
state guarantees him the right to keep
a dog as a bodyguard and makes no
provision for taxing it. He insists that
any ordinance which pretends to make
it unlawful for a man to keep a watch
dog is invalid and declares that he will
carry the question to the highest courts.
Mr.. Yeakel is in good financial circum
stances. His store is in a suburban
neighbOrhoOd and he has no police pro-
lection The dog is kept to protect his
store from burglars.
