SOUTHERN oLEANINGS.
Money I'm southern Mills.

The New York Evening Post is try
ing to brighten the New England spin
ners who desire TO move their machin-
cry 20 the cotton fields of the south.
Ii SAYS:
'.The cotton manufacturers of New
England have been much disturbed by
the competition of southern mills. par
ticularly in the coarser grades of
goods. Their southern rivals hire
cheaper hands who could be employed
more hours a day and who were not
controlled by labor organizations.
Some northern manufacturers conclud-
ed that the only thing to do was 10
build mills in the south themselves,
and such plants have been established
by capital from this part of the coun-
try. But the movement has been
checked and a great corporation of
Manchester. y. H.. has just abandoned
a scheme TO begin operations in the
south. The reason is the discovery
that the conditions in the south re-
garding wages, hours of work and Ia
Dor unions are steadily approaching
lhost IN the noFtn, the stfihe loF hiSh-
er pay, shorter days and the control of
the industry by the empioye having al
ready been domesticated even as far
away as Texas.
We simply note these signs of the
times as worthy the attention of
thoughtful men. They show how read
lily things in the business world have
changed during the past few years.
how universally these changes prevail
and how sweeping is the influence of
the tremendous forces which are at
work" But nevertheless the mills
continue TO come. All southern mills
are making money for their owners.

Bloomsbury State Normal
School.
BALTIMORE, MD. Department.

We have just received the latest
catalogue of the Bloomsbury State
Normal School. This school which
has had such remarkable growth and
success during recent years, evident
ly means to make still greater pro-
gress in the future. The Fall Term
will open September l1th. The
Trustees are doing everything pos
sible to place the school in the front
rank of our best intitutions of learn
ing.
The faculty tor the ensuing year
is to be strengthened by the addition
of Miss Laura NJ. Ruff, of South
Carolina, who has completed three
courses of study at two different col-
leges. Signornia Rubina Raw who
has commanded such widespread re- 4
cognition, will be retained at the
head of the music department.
Young people contemplating go
ing away to school will find it to
their interest to write the Principal,
DIR. j. p. Welsh, Bloomsbury, Pa,
stating their needs and asking for
catalogue. There may be schools
where the charges are lower, but we
doubt whether there are any in
which more can be had for the
money. S-1O-3t.

An ObIect-less0n in Wealth.

Parisians had heard of fthe late Jay
Gould and his high-piled millions
of money, but for the past two years
they have been receiving special
object-lesson on the power of wealth
in new-world hands, in the effort of
his daughter, the Countless de Cast
ellane, toproducein Paris the palace
of the Grand Trianon, as built by
the French Kingsat Versailles more
than two centuries ago. Three
quarters of an acre of land was
bought at the intersection of the
Avenue du Bois de Boulogne and
the Avenue Malakoff, at the expense
OF close to a million of dollars, this
being the most costly residential site
in Paris. Public interest has been
made keen by the announcement
that while the exterior would hold
true to the Fourteenth century, the
interior was to be a blending of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth periods, if
the Gould millions and the cunning
of the French architects could COM
pass this unique desire. The revival
of two historic periods in French
architectural history was so remark
able an undertaking that from its
beginning the progress of this house
has been followed with such a wide
interest as has been given to few
purely private building projects. In
May the family was occupying the
central portion, but the interior de-
coration OF the two wings probably
cannot be completed in less than two
years more. When it became known
such mdison was to be attempted
many of the French said it would
take twenty years to build and fur
nish with art treasures; but Western
enterprise and local ingenuity pro-
mise its completion in fifth Of the
time. The property will then have
cost thirty millions of francs, or six
millions of dollars. Both the Count
and Countess are collectors of rare
art works and bric-a-brac, and in a
single year,it is said, they expended a
million of dollars in purchases for
their new residence. When the mat
ter Of ceilings was being arranged for
the Castellanes went to Italy and
sought the splendid palace Of Verna.
They did not want the palace, but
coveted the eleven ceilingsit contain
ed from the brush Of Tiepolo, and
these could be secured only by the
purchase of the old structure
