rights.

DURING the week just closed, there
have been twenty-six homicides in Miss
issippi. In some counties the inhabi-
tants seem to have a homicidal mania,
and human life has become so cheap
that men are murdered on the public
roads and city highways without paDg
of conscience or fear Of the consequences.
Violence seems to be covering other
parts of the world as well as Mississippi,
as murders and suicides take up much
space in all newspapers.

Conditions in ST. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, Oct. l6.-As the re-
suit of the action taken by the police
yesterday in queling the demonstrations
which occurred in connection with the
removal of the body of Prince Troubles
koi. the students and workmen are
greatly agitated, and it is feared that
more trouble may result. The police
entered the institute of mining engineer
ing and dispersed a meeting which was
in progress. Such thing is unheard of
in the annals of Russian history, and has
aroused a great deal OF indignation.
An imperial ukase has been issued ex.
Guiding Grand Duke Cyril, between whom
and the Russian throne there are only
three lives, from the Russian navy be-
cause of his marriage to his cousin Vic
toria, the divorced wife of the Grand
Duke of Seiss. Announcement OF this
wedding, which had been forbidden by
the Gar, was made at Munich on Octo-
Der 5, and aroused a great deal ofinterest
because of the prominence of the parties,
as well as owing to the emperor's oppo-
sition. Grand Duke Cyril went to Port
Arthur during the war between Russia
and Japan, and served as first officer un-
der Admiral MskarOf. He took part in
the battle when MakarOf lost his life,
and saved himself by swimming. He
had loved the Grand Duchess Victoria
for long time, and even the imperial
command not to marry her did not pre-
vent him from doing 50. The expulsion
from the navy is the direct result of his
act in making the Grand Duchess his
wife

Giants Win the Series.

New York's National League ball
team is now the undisputed champion
of the world. Before "a, 1871 people who
cheered like maniacs from start to finish,
they won the fifth game of the series
Saturday at the Polo Grounds. 1t was
the Giants fourth victory over the Ath-
letics, the winners of the American
League pennant The score was 2 to O..
One of the most curious features of the
series Just concluded-incidentally the
most remarkable in the history of base
ball-was that not in single game was
the losing team able to score run. In
the first contest at Philadelph the
Giants won, 8 90. The same score was
hung up at the conclusion of the second
game played in New York Tuesday, and
which was won by the Athletics. The
third game-won by the New Yorks at
Philadelphia on Thursday-resulted in a
score of 9 to 0. The Giants took the
fourth game Friday at the Polo Grounds,
| to O, while Saturdays contest was an
other shut-out. Mathewson pitched for
the Giants and was in his usual incom-
parable form. Bender, who proved such
a puzzle to The New Workers on Tues
day, again twirled for the Philadelphia
team, and although beaten pitched a
fine game.
The total attendance at the five games
played was. 81, 6S3. After deducting
expenses the division of the receipts will
net the winning players 81, 1872 "a each
and the losers 1869.

Liberals TO Withdraw.

Havana, Oct. TO- Members of the
liberal party today justified the action
of their convention yesterday in deciding
to withdraw from the coming presiden-
tial election by saying that no other
course was left for them to pursue. At
the same time that the decision not to
participate in the election was reached
liberals decided to inform the head of
the party that they will not be respon-
sible for any acts which may occur in
the future. Manifestos will be publish
ed giving the reasons for this action.
The proposition of Withdrawing from the
election was submitted some time ago,
but its consideration was postponed to
await developments. Liberals now state
that in view of the colossal trsuds COM
mitted in the registration it would be
useless to continue the campaign.

Alexandria. Va.

Alexandria, Va.
Dear Sir: Have you found-out you can
paint job with fewer gallons Devoe than OF
anything else, lead-and-oil or anything else:
Mr.. Floyd Almy, House and Sign Painter,
Greenwich, n. Y found it out three years
ago; he writes II have used Deyoe lead
and-zinc for the past three years, and cannot
say too much in its favor. ] am using 1t now
on a big job that took by contract, and 1t
has saved me at least SOS in the cost OF ma
terial."
DevOe is the strongest paint we know-of;
goes furthest: takes less of it to do your JOB.
Lead-and-oil is pure; lead-and-zinc IS
stronger; covers more; goes further.
Have you found-out you can paint gallon
Deyoe in less time than gallon Of anything
else? Less time; less money.
Less paint; less money for that; less tlme'
less money for that. Devoe lasts longer; do
you mind the less money for that? You are
surer Of it
Yours truly,

Some seasnnable Advice.

1t may be piece of superhuous adj
vice to urge people at this season of the
year to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is so widely known and 50
altogether good that no one should hesi-
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by Gibson & Tim
herman and w. F. Creighton & Co.

TIE STATEMENT that Vice Admiral
Togo worshiped at lie Temple is Great
ing profound impression throughout
Japan. 1t is believed that his act will
furnish lasting example in national
religious education, and that ancestral
worship will be given fresh stimulation,
especially in the army and navy. Ad-
miral Togo has shown his implicit faith
in what he said in his report of the great
naval battle, when he attributed the
japanese victory to the protection Of the
spirits OF imperial ancestors. The ex-
ample set by Togo will doubtless prove
a serious impediment to missionary work
in the MikadO's kingdom.

Buffalo, n. Y, Oct. 16.-By the burst
ing of a supply pipe in Niagara street the
worst water famine ever experienced in
Buffalo prevails this morning. The en-
tire west side is without water, and the
situation is most deplorable. Not a drop
of water has been bad in the houses of
100000 persons since 8 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. This morning those who
had ice melted it to secure water for max
ing coffee and for washing their hands
and faces. Great suffering in the hos
pitals and other institutions is reported.
In many instances the people in the at
hicted districts drank milk aud those liv-
ing near the river and canal carried
water in buckets to their homes. Hun
dreds of men and women who work down
town and are compelled to leave at an
early hour, appeared at their places of
business with unwashed faces and empty
stomachs. The restaurants, as a result,
did a rushing business. A large terri
tory in the vicinity of the break in the
water main was flooded. Cellars were
filed with water and streets became like
small rivers.

YOUR SHARE: OF SUGAR?
Annual Consumption in the United
States 100 Pounds Per Capita.

Des Moines Register and Leader.
1t seems strange, but statistics
prove that the average amount of sugar
consumed per capita is more than 100
pounds, !" said M. II. Miller of Michigan.
Mr.. Miller is in the city in the inter
ests of the beet sugar industry. and
is well up. on sugar facts.
Yes, sir, / mean that you and I,
and each and every one of us consumes
over 100 younds of sugar every year.
Statistics prove it. Some people, of
course, eat as much as 200 pounds, and
few less than 100, so that the aver
age is brought up to that mark.
Why, there is sugar in everything
except people s tempers. But more Sc
riously, there is sugar in the curing of
meats, there is a certain amount Of
all Of the canned goods, practically,
and much Of the bottled goods. A very
large per cent of the food we eat has
sugar in it.
The grocer man will tell you that
he sells sixteen pounds of sugar where
he sells one pound of any other one
article almost. This country pays out
annually $500, 100000 to other countries
for sugar. just think what it would
own people, just as we might as well
do if we would wake up to the fact that
some Of the finest sugar in the world
could be manufactured here if we only
had the nerve to undertake it. Tests
have shown that Iowa can raise sugar
beets, and they make the best sugar
there is.
While other countries consume as
much sugar as America in proportion
to the volume of their business, yet
American people have an exceptionally
sweet tooth

AMERICAN SPIRIT IN AIR
Cold Waves from Northwest Put Gin.
ger into the Most Sluggish.
Century Magazine.

When the amazed European asks us
what makes the sluggish mind of the
immigrant to stir and waken in the
United States, and then to climb, at
first hesitatingly, but soon with vigor
and confidence, to the top round of the
ladder Of success, we are accustomed to
reply: cit g in the air.; and we are
right. The spirit which fred our "a
theirs to cross the wide Atlantic, and
which in less or equal degree still ami
mates the thousands annually seeking
our shores, is fed and famed by the
cold winds from the northwest.
The cold wave is born in the heavens
miles above our heads, usually over the
Rocky mountain plateau. Suddenly a
mass Of bitterly cold air will tumble
down upon Montana. It rushes down
as tho poured thru an enormous fun
mel. AS it falls it gains momentum,
and, reaching the earth, spreads over
the Mississippi valley and then over
the Atlantic states, covering them like
a blanket 1t scatters the foul, logy,
breath-soaked atmosphere in our towns
and cities and puts ginger into the air.
We fill our lungs with it and live. New
waves are always coming, following
each other in regular procession like
| the waves on a seashOre.
