AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION =

AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION -
They are telling q story IN Washing
ton about Congressman Clayton, OF
Alabama, who used to be district at
torney in his State. 1t became his
duty at one time to prosecute en- old
man for making Illicit whiskey. II
was not very serious infraction of the
law but the Old backwoodsman had
been reckless In his open violation and
II was necessary to make an example
OF him. He was brought into court,
aud after the government had stated
Its case the old man, who had no law
yer, asked to be- allowed to go on the
stand. He was told that this would
render him liable to answer any ques-
tiOns but he insisted.
Well, uncle john" said Clayton,
"did you really mako any whiskey in
your still ?"
Henry" replied the old man, with
pathetic tone, ~ know'd your pa;
voted for your pn every time he ran
Tor Jedge. Aud, Henry, your pa would
never have axed me no question like
that"
The jurors laughed, the court smiled
and Clayton relented. The old man
drove home that night.

Marietta, Ga, January 8, 1900.

1t is expected that unusually good
facilities for studying phenomena con-
nected with the interior of the earth
will be- afforded at the University of
Michigan, at Ann Arbor, where well
Is to be sunk to the depth of several
thousand leet on the university
grounds. The Investigations on this
well will be carried on by Prof. I. G..
Russell of the department of geology,
and DR.. Carl Guthc Of the department
Of physics, and the fact of a deep well
being located so near the laboras orics
Of the university will doubtless provoke
much original work on this subject.
In addition to questions of a geological
nature, involving the various strata
pierced by the boring, there are many
problems connected with the interior
temperature of the earth which are
now interesting scientists. Results
from a large number of wells arc now
desired for purposes of comparison,
and while it is not to be supposed that
the Michigan well will make record
for depth, yet in the hands of scientific
investigators much should I've forth
coming.
The efforts which Gov Merriam, di
rector OF the census, is making to
induce farmers to prepare statements
OF their operations for the calendar
year OF 1899, so that they will be ready
| to- reply definitely aud accurately to
the enumcrators' questions next
June, are bearing fruit. Some farmers
have forwarded copicsof statements
to the census office, accompanied by
inquiries as to their completeness
and correctness. The first and one
of the best of these tatements
came from woman who operates a
farm in Pennsylvania on her own ac-
count. The paper shows not only the
acreage, quantity and value of each
crop, but contains also good inventory
of live stock and detailed statement
of the quantity and value of miscellane.
GUS articles produced. If every farmer
W ould initiate this woman, the agricul
tural report of this twelfth census would
be marvel of completeness and would
show the entire productive strength

Goiti as Next Pope.

The evident favor with which the pope regards the candidacy of Cardinal Girolamo Maria Gotti, prefect of the congregation of ndulgences and sacred relics and the fre- uuent mention of his name in that cornec- Mon render any facts in his history in- t-eresting. He may never reach St. Peters chair, for the pope cannot name his suc- eessor, nor indeed can the college of car anals do so wholly free from outside in- Huences. Political influences always enter Into such elections What France wants, what Austria desires, what Spain longs for what the faithful everywhere appeal for, naps changing it. Cardinal Gotti must be generally acceptable to the Catholic world outside of Italy if he issto become pope
 He is mark J,ss aafefost carmelite order; f--tf11e-s tf11e- sAatylre age sIxty-foar yea~s His polisieai te,ld aTs fss .Ia ,,,.. known, buf TT sssdls ts,; tf,at he is In accord with Leo XIII. on arr questions He is undoubtedly liberal, inclined to Win the support or the masses rather than the classes. He is Monk indeed, sleeping every night in a cell on a Monks bed in the Forum of Trajan.
 He displayed says a recent writer, diplo- matic qualities of the highest order in mission to Brazil eonfided to him by Leo NH. In that country, in addition to the conflict going on between the civil and re- ligious authorities, the church was in con- siderable danger on account of the lack of discipline To the great astonishment of every one, the pope selected the superior of the barefoot Carmeites, who happened to be Father Gotti, to put an end to the disorder and re-establish harmony between the civil and religious powers. Father Gotti in two or three years triumphed over the difficulties, and his success was so complete that on his return Pope Leo de- creed him cardinals hat. He has already a small court formed of those who believe his success probable, who honor him as if he were already elected.

Cost of the South African War.

Instead of $5O,0O0O0O. which was the first Estimate, 1t is now estimated that the cost If the Boer war will be OOOO. The Der capita debt of England is now $76, as against $14 in this country. and the estl- mated cost of the Boer war will add $7 b he load that each Englishman must carry.
 The English debt stood at the end of the rrimean war at $,O4O 54S,610. Since that lime it has been reduced about one-quar- Ter, thus bringing 1t down to $2,99O ,5436 619 The Boer war will annihilate one-thrd of his great saving, and the tedious road will have to be retraced to that extent Debt paying on the part of a great nation that sas to maintain the chief navy of the world is a tiresome process.
 When the Boers are conquered, as they tssuredly will be, they cannot be compelled 10 pay the cost of the war. They will pay n territory, no doubt, but not in money. The expense of the war will fall upon Brit sh tax-payers and even a brilliant and permanent result will not keep him from Tumblfng when he has to pay increased axes. These heavy additions to the del5t nay yet upset the ministry that brought n the war.

BIRmINGHAM's BUSINESS

Oliver Chalifoux. of the Board of Trade, in
 the New York Times.
 The financial and general business cond- tions of Birmingham, the chief industrial city of the south have never been more gratifying or more promising than now. The mining and manufacturing interests are wonderfully prosperous, and the rapid development of our mineral resources the continued increased coal output for coking and other purposes, the successful manu- facture of steel on a large scale as it is be- ing done in this district and the opening of new, rich, and inexhaustib1e deposits of brown ores, enable Birmingham to turn out high class of iron. convertible into steel, at the lowest possible cost. The economies are duo to phenomenal natural advantages Here we are favored with proximity to the raw material and other conditions which are almost unique. The Birmingham dis trict is unequaled in the United States or Europe. This fact has put Alabama in the foreground as the state that can produce iron and steel and every article manufac- ured from iron and steel cheaper today than any other locality in the civilized world.
 The demand for exports to Continental Europe and South American countries is now far in excess of our ability to supply.
 Business in the mercantile line is the best it has been in many years, while industrial ly conditions are unprecedented both as to demand and profits.
 Financially the situation is certainly ex- celent. Money is abundant in this section for all legitimate business requirements. In fact, money is abundant both on the part of individuals and banks.
 Conditions all around are most satisfac- tory, with encouraging prospects for contin- ued increase of earning capacity The financial disturbances in Europe and New York have not as yet been felt here in legi- innate lines in the slightest degree.

SUICIDES IN 1899

New York Telegram to the Chicago Times
 Herald.
 The statistical report of the board ot health for the year 1889 on- hiftAs; deaths and marriages in New<Yorl1 shows slight in births and deaths as compared with 1898. and slight increase in the num- ber of marriages. For the greater part the figures are remarkably alike for the two years, the one great exception being the scarcity of deaths by sunstroke in 1S99 Almost four times many persons were k-red by the heat of 1898 as died from that cause last summer.
 The estimated population of the bor- ougins of Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond is 3,550 059. a gain Of about 100000 over last year. The total number of deaths was 65,21S, as compared with 65, ,S64 last year, and the births were 7764S, as compared with 7S696. In 1898 there were 3O,47O marriages, while in 1898 there were 2S,S 800
 The deaths under one year were 15364, under five years 23,750 and sixty-five or over S,922 Of these deaths 15.54 occurred in public institutions and 35,734 in tene- ments. Of the violent deaths the numbers were as follows: Accidents, 2,472; suicides, 629; homieides, 131; sunstroke, Al. In 1898 there were 54S sunstrokes.
