Notes from the Paris E1posItlon.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very credltable exhibit,
located in Group XIII, Glass 10, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
ing-Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer machines received "a
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should 1t be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found in all cities and most
towns in the United States"

waaahaohle Cotton Mills.

Waxahachie, TexaS October S.-The
cotton mill building is ready for the
roof, 26O horse power Heine safety
boiler has been put in, an enormous
Corliss-Bates engine is being installed
and there are several carloads of spin
ming and weaving machinery stored in
a warehouse here ready to be put in
as soon as the roof is on. A deep
we'll has been sunk, which will supply
$4,000 gallons of water per diem. SUI
perintendent Howarth, who Is an ex-
pert in the textile industry, says that
the local supply of cotton which the
mill will be able to obtain will be
very advantageous, in that the uncom.
pressed bale will be superior to the
compressed one which foreign spin
ners must use as it costs less to pre-
pare the fibre for the spindle, and 1t
will be of a superior quality.

st. Louis, October S.-Telegraphic
advices from Tampico, Mexico. state
that the Panucoa and Tames rivers,
which empty into the gulf at that
place, are on one of the biggest rises
in their history and great damage has
been done by the flood in the popu
lated and cultivated valleys above
there. At one point, near Chila Sta
ton, on the line of the Mexican Cen
trail railroads, the Tames is over fifty
miles wide, and has swept to destrucl
ton hundreds of houses occupied by
Mexican farmers and laborers. Many
deaths by drowning ard reported. All
the tributaries to these rivers south
and east of the state of San Luis Po-
tosl are out of their banks and have
washed away whole villages and
ruined thousands of acres Of land.

in OUR FOOTSTEPS.
GREAT BRITAIN APPROVES THE
POLICY OF UNITED STATES.
She Authorizes Her Minister to Pursue
the Course of conger in the Chinese Ne
gotiatlons--To Examine the Credentials
of Ii Hung Chang.

Washington, October G.-The British
government has followed in the foot
steps of the United. States in the Chi
nese negotiations. 1t has authorized
Sir Claude Macdonald, the British
minister to Pekin to enter into rela-
tions With the Chinese officials just as
our government did in the case oil
Minister Conger. 1t has left to Its
minister discretionary powers to pass
Jpn the sufficency OF the credentials
of Ii Hung Chang, Prince Ching and
the other Chinese ENJOYS. Although
the formal response to the last Ger
man proposition has not been re-
turned by Lord Salisbury, the United
States government has been informed
that though such an arrangement had
been made, all being necessary in the
light of recent developments, yet Sir
Claude Macdonald VIII be instructed
to make the same inquiries relative to
the punishment of the Chinese ring
leaders that have been committed to
Mr.. Conser.
The first practical outcome of Spec
ial Commissioner Rockhills investiga-
tlon has been ain instruction to him
by the State department to cooperate
with Mr.. Conger and his brother mini
listers at Pekin. They are charged
now with inquiries into the matter OF
punishments, which certainly will oc-
ed that much Roadway will be made in
other directions until this phase Of
the case has passed. The latest
French note is a distinct movement
toward the initiation of negotiations
for a settlement, while the, question
of punishment is still pending. 1t is
probable that exchanges will take
place with the French note as the
basis, while the ministers at Pekin
are at work with their instructions
upon the subject Of punishments, but
even though some advance is made
with the French note. 1t is not likely,
in the Judgment of officials here, that
--Hti OF the complex questions sinvolved
therein can be agreed upon by the
powers before Mr.. Conger and the
other ministers are ready to report
upon their branch of the case
Touching the French proposals, the
officials here have already received in
timations that the Chinese government
is preparing to offer strenuous objec-
lions to some of them, notably to the
proposition looking to the razing OIL
the Taku forts and the Introduction of
the Importation of firearms. 1t is be-
lieyed here, however, that the lmpe-
rial government will make an earnest
effort to meet the demand of the pow
ers respecting the punishments The
news that Yung Lu is not to be
forced upon the Chinese peace com
mission is well received here as in,
dicating the readiness of the Chinese
government to heed any reasonable
remonstrance from the powers.

.Denlson, Texas, October GA few
days since Miss Hill of the Ball High

EYE TROUBLES.


by People with weak Eyes.
The changes which come to the eye
as result of age are beyond the pow
er Of the individual to remedy. 1t is
true that the time for the wearing of
glasses may be fastened by abuse of
the eyes, but with all possible care
that one may take, the eye that hither-
to has been normal, will need shortly
before, or 1t may be shortly after, the
the age of forty-five the aid of glasses.
So universal is this that an oculist, in
his examination of the refraction OF
the eye of his patient, can determine
accurately the number of his years
The responsibility of much eye trou-
BILE, however, can be brought directly
home to the individual. 1t is due to
the reckless expenditure of the eye,
sight. The service of the eyes is de-
manded in any and every light. The
eyes are most tried by reading fine
print or doing the fine stitches of sew
ing or embroidery, II the print is on
glossy paper whose smooth surface re-
fleets the light the effect is bad upon
the eyes. If the embroidery is to be
done on satin or upon canvas, with It's
bewildering maze of meshes, the strain
is soon shown In the redness and the
WEAKNESS of the eyes. Women's eyes
suffer greatly from the tax of wells. It
only shows the great adaptability
which the eyes share with every other
part Of the body that the wells, with
their intricate meshes and numerous
dots Of embroidery and chenille, do
not occasion more trouble with the
eyes than they do. The first thing to
do in selecting a veil, if one has mer-
cy on the eyes, is to test Its effect upon
the sight. to see that the weave is not
confusing and that the dots do not
come athwart the eyes. --Harper's Ba-
zar.

Engines Crashed Together.

Monticello, Ind. October Sat 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon passenger
trains Nos. 33 and "a on the Monon
crashed together in head-end COLI
sion on the curve just south Of this
place. Three persons were injured
all of Indianapolis. They are: Engi-
neer James M. Covington, Laze Noble
and Marvin R, Maxwell The engines
were buried in each other and the
baggage cars were badly damaged.
The crews of both trains jumped. The
southbound train was going slowly,
having just left the station, and the
northhound train was slowing up for
the station. otherwise the collision
would have resulted in heavy loss Of
life No S3, going south, had lost
several minutes, but had made up the
time ait Monticello, and this evidently
resulted in the confusion that gave
both trains right of way and caused
the wreck

terday was the most violent ever ex-
perienced. The storm cut pathway
200 feet wide through the northwest
portion of the county. The shaft

month in their salaries was granted
Major Hall, treasurer Of the commits

acceded to the demand, A strike is
also pending in two Of the other de.
partments. The, grievances are based
upon the recent increase in the num-
Der of cadets, which naturally makes

quiet over the river as yet. but there Is

. to manifest itself, and Mr.. Bergundthal
has made reQuisition on the state COM
mittee for Hon. Charles Emory Smith,
Senator j. B. Foraker and other big
guns for his county during the cam
paign. The lists for Ohio are not yet
completed but Belmont is sure to have
some winning cards before the cam
paign of this year is over. The county
committee or 4 mass convention OF Re-
publicans will meet soon to select dele
gates to q convention Mt Steubcnville
that has been called to name candl-
date for member Of the state board OF
equalization. That member is to repre-
sent Belmont, Columbiana, Harrison

Is general regret that the convention
was not called at the same time as the
