FIory seems to have been up

Flory said he was u church mem

A man has right to drink, but the
man who claims to be q church

whiskey, engages in bar room

county that Hon. J. NJ. Welker,
democratic candidate for represen-
tative, will, if elected, endeavor to
have a stock law passed, is about
as weak u thing as could have been
started. In the first place we have
a stock law which can be adopted
by majority vote only, in counties
desiring its adoption. Quite a
number of counties have already
done so, and several counties will
vote on the question at the coming
election. Under this law the people
have the settlement of the question
IN their own hands and can do so
IN their own way. In the next
place, it is wei! known by every
one who has given attention. to the
matter, that general stock law
could not be passed by the legisla.

HOW TO KEEP OLD B1TTL E FLA GS'

| We in this country know much, but
 to A. Herman, chief assistant and ex-
 pert of the Royal Archaeological and
 Pathological Museum of the King. of
 Saxony at Dresden. One thing we don't know is how to take care of our
 old battle flags. In examining the old flags in the State house in Boston MT. Herman deplored the fact that they are arranged as they now are, fastened to poles which are securely held in an up- right position. This makes the flags hang in folds, the weight of which, so this foreign expert declared, is slowly wearing out the silk fabrics. He pre- dicted that little by little the bits of silk would drop here and there upon the floor of the niches, and caretakers would of course sweep these fine shreds of silk up with other dirt and throw them away, until eventually there would be no flags at all remaining. He pointed cut the fact that in all museums of Europe, notably so the Hotel des In- valides in Paris, the Tower of London, and like places, there are flags which are hundreds of years old, and yet re- tain much of their original look and condition, because the art of preserva- ton has been so well understood and carried out. Americans" said MT. Herman, "do not, with all their inven- tive genius, understand the art of pre- serving antiquities and relics" In the Royal Museum the flags are supported at each end by staff, the stripes of the flag running horizontally. Then the flag is mounted upon a background of wire netting, with meshes about two inches square. At every intersection of the wires the flag is fastened to the net by metallic fastening. This distrib- utes the support of the flag evenly all over its surface.

A violent rise of thirteen points in Sugar yesterday sharply reminded spec | ulators of the uncertainty of financial life and "sweetened" many who were short of the stock. The rise was brought about by rumors that the big warriors in the sugar trade were about to get together and stop throwing
 money away in benevolent efforts to
 ruin each other. It will not be surpris- ing if these rumors, or others like them
 finally turn out to be true. The move
 ment yesterday was a delicate compli- ment to MT. Havemeyer and the other big fellows who have just been talking war of the most relentless and uncom promising kind. It will be interesting
 to watch the further progress of what is perhaps the most elaborate and won drous game that has ever been played in Wall street Meanwhile real sugar is very cheap and good, and those who don't have to bother their heads about the gyrations of the artificial stuff can congratulate themselves on the fact that the great fight has done them some good,

Spright, who is an old man and | somewhat timid, gasped an inaudble reply. He jumped out of the tub drip ping wet and looked around for towel with which to dry himself There was none in sight
 What will I do?" he pleaded.
 "Oh, get your clothes on and come on upstairs and vote and then come back and dry yourself" was the advice of both members. Then one of them seiz- ed Mr. Sprights trousers and assisted his wet legs into them. The other help ed him on with an undershrt and both aided him in putting on shoes without socks.

 Not on your life. You ain't got time," said the messengers.

 A humorous incident of the voting on the Puerto Rico bill was the man ner in which Representative Spright of Mississippi was brought into the house just minute too late to vote for MT. Richardson's substitute. While the roll was being called it was ascertained that Sprght was not in his seat. A messenger found the Mississippian roll ing luxuriously in a bathtub in the basement of the capitol He notified MT. Richardson, who appreciating the desirability of recording every vote that it was possible to round up against the tariff bill, sent two stalwart demo- crats to the bathroom to bring MT. Spright to the floor with the least pos sible delay. They found MT. Spright sprawled at full length in the tub.
 'They want you up on the floor to vote for the substitute for the Puerto Rican bill" exclaimed one of the mes sengers, who broke into the room with out ceremony.
 But I can't go now" MT. Spright pleaded. ''I am taking bath"

DISIPPDINJING.

The Portuguese are probably pleased with the Delagoa Bay award, but no- body else appears to be. The English are especially stirred up The London papers express great disappointment and indignation at the size of the award. It had been generally assumed that the award would be greater than Portugal could pay without English as sistance, for which compensation would be received. The award now made, however, is only about $3,200, 900 and interest, or one-third of what was expected, and this sum can be easily se- cured by Portugal without recourse to English assistance. Some of the Eng fish papers go so far as to say that the Swiss arbitrators were influenced by "Anglophobia" in their decision.
 The feeling in Washington is not as warm as the feeling in London but the disappointment is said to be large. A State department official is reported as saying that he cannot see how such a decision could have been made. It was expected at Washington that the award would be at least s6,0OO,O0O. As the ac- tion of the arbitrators is final the dis appointed will have to do the best they

BRITISH STATE PRISONERS.

Treatment of Rulers Who Have Been | Conquered in the Last Fifty Years. | In 1S49 when the state of Maharaja
 Dhuleep Singh was finally annexed to
 the Indian empire, that potentate was
 requested to take up his residence in England-the inducement to ready
 compliance being given by the promise
 of yearly income of s24O,00 with noth-
 ing at all as an alternative. Dhuleep
 Singh wisely acquiesced purchasing the
 fine estate of Brandon in Norfolk, upon
 which he resided for many years as a
 wealthy English country gentleman.
 Though during this period the Maharaja | frequently expressed the desire to re- visit his native country, protesting the utmost loyalty to the empress-queen, | yet he was never permitted to travel east of the Isthmus of SueZ. In this case the bond seems to have descended upon the heads of his children for while his sons have entered the British army, and one of them, Prince Victor, recently married the daughter of the Earl of Co., ventry, yet they have never been al- lowed to set eyes on the land over which their ancestors ruled.
 Approaching Calcutta on the left bank of the Hujli river, at Garden Beach, the visitor will have pointed out the fine palace of the late Wajid Ali, King of Oudh There from 1856 until recent date this prince was held in senli-cap- tivity upon an annual allowance of $600,- GOO, the only proviso as to his freedom of action being that he should not leave the vicinity of Calcutta. The King of Oudh, true to those prodigal instincts which brought about his downfall, not only managed to expend this large sum, but in the keeping of snake mounds menageries and other costly forms of amusement dear to the oriental mind, was obliged to draw frequently upon the imperial treasury for further amounts. The leniency with which he was thus treated was probably due to the fact that he offered no armed resistance to his own deposition.

IN THE NEJP SOUTH.

Go south. young man, and set up a cotton mill. And it will be well to hur- ry, for at the present rate of progress all the available sites will soon be oc- cupied. An average of $50,000 day was invested during January and Feb ruary in South Carolina cotton indus tries. The movement is equally strong in North Carolina nearly so in Georgia, and is very promising in Louisiana, Texas. What the new cotton industry is doing for the South is indicated by population of some southern towns dur ing the last ten years Columbia, which was sleepy and unpromising, has sprung from a population of 10,0S6 in 1890 to 30,OO0. It is now wide awake and full of promise. Griffin, in Geor- gia, was in state of decay, but cot ton mills have placed it in prosper ous and substantial condition. Green vile, in South Carolina, had S,607 peo- pie in 1890; it will show in the new cen sus over 15,000. Spartanburg, which had ,, 800 people in 1890, will show 12,000 this year. Gaffney, which consisted a few years ago of a railroad station and lime kiln, has been turned by mills in to a prosperous little city of 5000 peo- pie. Pelzer, which was spot on the map, now contains 5000 people
