We're you ever hot and sticky,
We're you ever heated through?
Has your collar ever wilted
And your hide been 'cAsed with gluef
Has the base ball season melted
Your superfuous inch Of fatf
And each pore been sadly weeping
Meath the burden OF your hat?
Go then, soothe your sorrowing sweat
glands,
With dish of cream and cake;
At the social you will find IL.
It's the best you ever ate.

THE MORMONS MUST GO.

Charleston, S. c., December 21.-Mor-
mon elders, two at a time, seven years
ago, begun to visit the great swamp
section OF Hampton county near the
~seacoast of this state n made many
converts non the Baptist back
woodsmen near Ridgeland. They now
have so large a following that they
have established a church at which
eight Mormon elders were at work sew
eral weeks ago. The delegation to the
state legislature has been asked by the
orthodox people Of Hampton county to
work for a law to extirpate the elders
and say that prompt legislation may
save them from having the mob vio-
lence that some sister states have late
ly had in trying to rid themselves Of
these disgraceful parasites"

The Bodies Placed Aboard the Texas.
She Sails for Home.

Havana, December 21.-The removal
of the dead of the Maine was not ac-
companied by any ceremonies over the
bodies. A newly cofined, they were
placed in the mortuary chapel of the
cemetery until all was completed. At
10 o'clock last night ten wagons form
ed a procession carrying Isl collins to
the Machina wharf, passing through
unfreQuented streets. The bodies
reached the wharf at 1870 o'clock un-
der a strong guard from the battleship
Texas, were placed board two steam
lighters before daylight and were tax
en- to the warship. She Left here at 10
o'clock a. m.
All the remains were thoroughly dis
infected. a difference was found be-
tween the number of collins entered on
Chaplain Chidwick's list, which was
l54, n the actual number of collins
exhumed. Search was made through
all the twenty-one graves in which the
collins were buried. but the missing
three were not found.
The superintendent of the cemetery,
who buried the bodies, says that ow-
ing to all the remains not being buried
the same day, it is quite possible that
a mistake was made in the counting.
He was certain 40 bodies were lost.
Captain Green also says he does not
believe any bodies went astray.

RAILROADS NEED THE MONEY
Is the Reason Given the Interstate
Commerce Commission for Proposed
Advance in Rates.

Washington, December 21-A hear
ing was begun today by h interstate
commission in the matter
of charges in freight classification n
advances in freight rates by carriers
using the official classification
Many complaints have been filed with
the commission, alleging that dfscrim-
mating changes in freight classical
ton by carriers have been agreed upon
to take effect on January 1, 1900. To
determine this question the hearing OF
today was held.
At the opening Of the hearing Mr.. G.
E. Gill, of New York, chairman of the
official classification committee, said
tine railroads were without knowledge
of the persons who had requested the
hearing and asked that they be called
upon to state wherein the proposed
changes were unjust. Mr.. Gill a
tanned hat the proposed advances in
freight rates were due to the increased
cost of railroad plants and maintenance
and the advances had been applied to
classes of freightS that could we'll pay
them.
Ii the course of a long examination
by Mr.. w. A. Day. attorney for the
commission, Mr.. Gill gave no reason
for the proposed advances upon special
articles or classes of freight except the
general reasons which applied to all
freight.
Judge G. a. PrOuty, a m of the
commission, instituted a line of inquiry
the questions and the nswer indicat-
ing that in 1887 railroads paid more for
steel rails and other articles Of equip
ment than they had to pay now In
view of these facts, he desired to know
why the classification committee DEEM
ed it necessary to increase the rates.
Mr.. Gill replied, as he had previously,
that in the Judgment of the committee,
articles or which advances We're made
could stand them and that the railroads
needed the additional revenue which
the advances would give them.
Mr.. F. S. MOnnett, attorney general
of Ohio, questioned Mr.. Gill as to the
cost of shipping petroleum, erdeavorifg
to elicit from him some statement to
the effect that the Standard Oil Com
pany wac favored by the railroads at
the expense of the small shippers. Mr..
lots Of petroleum the proposed cessifi-
cation increased the rate 269 per cent,
depending ON the distance. III he
said, was discrimination viii h would
break UP the small shipper. Mr.. Gill
explained that his committee had moth
ing to dc with the carload rates on Pc
trOleum.
Without 1eeChing any conclusion the
hearing was adjourned unit tomorrow
morning.

GOLD EXPORTS.

New York, December 21.-Sterling
bankers predicted today numerous
gold engagements for Saturday, but all
said it was impossible to estimate with
accuracy how much the shipments
would amount to. One firm reported
that it might ship from $500, 900 to ST.
O00, 900, as tomorrow's requirements
suggested, and in other quarters it was
believed thai at least IS, 000, 900 alto
gether would go out. At present rates
the margin of profit on gold exports
would be small, it was said, but the
demand for the metal abroad was suf-
fcient to max special transactions
profitable at this time. 1t vas said to-
day hat H~eidleback, ~Ickleheimer &
Co., and Muller. Schall & Co. might
each ship $500, 900.

NO RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Chairman Burton, of the River and
Harbor Committee, Makes a State
manf

Washington. December 20.-Chair-
man Burton, of the river and harbor
authorized the following
statement today:
There will probably be no river and
Iharbor bill at the present session. One
strong argument against a bill is the
tact that the engineers force will be
occupied during the coming year with
projects already provided for. In many
cases, plans for improvements are not
even completed. In others. advertise
'ments for bids have not yet been made.
Another fact OF Importance is the in
crease in the price of material in the
last year Some OF those projected
ALREADY authorized cannot be completed
FOR the estimated by the en-
Igineers- OF course, the demands upon
the treasury N the amount of reve-
are facts to be taken into consid-
grafton, although l do o mean to say
10y that that river and harbor improve
Inents are less Important thar others.
1T is only because, contrary 20 usual
custom, the bill was passed during the
last session of the last congress. / rec
lognize, however. that on many ac-
counts, ii is preferable that the bill be
considered at this session. There is SO
large an amount of detail and the set
Element OF disputed questions arising
from amendments Of the senate make
Il Cesirable TO have plenty Of time.
This is hardly possible during the
ishort session Also, there are several
projects Of urgent Importance, among
Them the Improvement of the south
west pass of the Mississippi. the deep
ening of the Delaware river below
philadelphia and the providing of fur
l-her facilities in the channels between
Lakes Superior and Huron. The con
-nsing contracts on the Mississippi
run out June 80, 1900. These are the
arguments on both sidzs, but, as !
lnave said, there will p-obably be nc
river and harbor bill al this session."
