RUSSIA AIDS MERCHANT SHIPS
Csar's Government Hopes to increase
Trade with Other
Lands.

The Russian government, from in
formation received by the bureau Of
navigation, is preparing meassres for
the early development Of it's merchant
marine. Although there are only "a
Russian steamships of over 1000 tons,
and of these only four are over IA knots,
the Russian government during 1898 ex-
pended over $1,ooo,0oo on it's seagoing
steamships.
To increase its navigation on the Pa
cific the Russian government for the
next ten years will pay Suez canal dues,
as the Austrian government has done
for some time, on national merchant
steamships. The restriction of the
coasting trade of the empire, whether
the ports are on the Baltic or Black seas
or the Pacific, to Russian vessels will
not affect appreciably American nav
igation, as for the last two years no
American vessels have entered this
country from or cleared for European
Russia, and last year only four Amer
lean sailing vessels entered from and
cleared for Russian ports on the Pa
ciflc.

Within the past month, the Grown
Cotton Mills Of Dalton, Ca, have paid
over to the stockholders SO per cent In
stock. and 10 per cent in cash, as divi-
dends upon their capital stock for the
mills earnings during the past year.
This is by no means an exceptional in
stance, throughoutthe South: On the
contrary, investments In cotton have
invariably proven TO be remunerative
and a fruitful source Of revenue. Gre-
NADIA county ships its cotton away and
the people buy it again, in the form Of

The extravagant demonstrations in

Sam Houston and His Corns.

Professor Hiram Corson of Cornell
university, who used to be a reporter
for the United States senate, tells this
story about Sam Houston: I'VE re-
porters took turn and turn about each
for an hour. One day | was sitting
idly In the reporters gallery, waiting
my turn and looking on. Presently my
attention was drawn by Senator uous-
ton. Huge of frame, he was particu-
larly huge of feet, and those extremi-
ties were rendered the more conspicu-
GUS in those days of boots by being
incased in laced shoes. On this occa-
sion there seemed to be an amount of
pain In those feet proportionate to
their size.
"The senator kept one upon his
knee, rubbing it, with an anguished
expression and periodically exchang-
Ing FOR the other foot. After awhile he
unlaced his shoes and drew them off
Then the nursing of his aching toes
continued for a time as before But no
relief came and at last, to my utter
amazement and amusement, he slowly
Invested himself Of long blue wooden
stocking, and, taking the huge jack
knife with which he was wont to pass
the time whiting, he proceeded de-
nberately to pare his corns in the SEN
ate Of the United States"
