SULLY TO sOUTHERNERs.
Hs Tells Them That They Hold
 Balance of Power.

Atlanta, Ga, May 16.-In an address tion convention, D. J. Sully of New York said among other things last night:
 You of the south hold the balance of power of every other industry in every and all parts of the civilized world. Do you suppose for one mo- ment that the millions made in cotton would amount to anything except for farmers? To compare profit of farm CTS and those who make profit after receiving raw material, is to compare the cotton plant with the red tree of California?
 And shall we," he added, '.listen to the vile, atrOcious insult that the low price of cotton is to the honor of the United States as well to you growers of cotton?
 "Wfth price at 15, 18, 17, IS, and 20 cents for cotton to farmers, you spin ners would be benefting yourselves and other people throughout the world.
 All Eupore has determined that America's industrial progress shall cease. The manufacturers of England say American progress has gone far enough. They know that except for your cotton industry, the progress of the world would cease. For years they have tried to keep the price of cotton low. In all parts of the world nations have spent millions and mill lions to be independent of you of the south. But you live in the fortunate part of the globe. You have farmers; you have land; you have sunshine. Other parts of the globe have not The farmers of the south, who have seen one year of hopeful prices, have de- termined never to see darkness again."

JOB PRINTERS NOW.

Chicago, May 16.-The first skirmish in fight for an eight hour day is on between the job printers and their em- plOyers. Conferences during several days will culminate this afternoon in meeting between a committee from Typographical union No 16 and the Chicago Typothetae.
 There are 2,4O0 job printers in Chi cago, and they compose the advance guard of all union printers in this country who are seeking to establish the eight hour working day by Janu- ary 1 of next year. They have plan of gradual reduction of hours which provides for the shortening of the time by twenty minutes every three months until next January.
 The employers will be asked to-day to agree to this proposition, but the re- quest will be denied.

TAINTED MONEY.
New Haven Ministers Give Expression to Their
 Views.

New Haven, May 16.-In letter ac- knowledging the receipt from the com mittee of protesting ministers of docu- ments bearing upon the recent accept ance of the Rockefeller donation to the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions, the pastors of Con- gregational churches in New Haven, with the exception of Rev Mir Haynes, have jointly given expression to their views in the matter. The documents received are the same as have been sent to every Congregational clergy man in the country, and include the circular letter concerning the meeting i'll Boston of a number of Congrega- tional clergymen, the notice of appoint ment of a committee of protestants in the matter of the Rockefeller donation, sermon by Rev Artemus J. Haynes of New Haven on "The Spirit of Pro- test" and a statement by the commit tee on "The Issue Before the Church es.''
 The pastors in their letter say that while reluctant to express their views, some extraordinary statements of the protestants call for an answer Any discussion of the Rockefeller gift must be conducted with mutual forbearance, respect and Christian courtesy. They deplore any unnecessary and harsh criticism of missionary societies. Fur ther they say that they are among those who have agreed to the accept ance of the gift, but have not, in any declaration of their views, manifested what the committee calls any "tenden- cy to palliate, excuse, exculpate'' any thing that may be shown to be wrong in the business methods of any cor pofation. On the contrary, the pastors assert, they have not neglected suita- ble opportunities of testifying against any recognized double standards.

CoMMUTER ON THD JURY.
Woes of the Jerseyman Who Had to
 Struggle With a Criminal Case.


 "A commuter doesn't appreciate the blessings of living out of the city until he has served as juror in a criminal case" said an Englewood, N. J., man. About ten days ago was selected as juror in a criminal case. Then had my experience.
 T wns cooped up in the court room every day. did not expect, of course. that the case would be tried out of doors. The kind-hearted sheriff, how ever, overdid what he considered to be kindness. When court would ad- journ, the jury was taken out for a Jersey constitutional. We were march, ed through the street by twos, much to the joy of the town. All we needed was a drum major and brass band. "The sherin meant well. He didn't put us on the pike until he inquired if 1t would be agreeable. A majority ruled. I was not one of the majority. but didn't want to be kicker, and fell in. Then the sheriff had to see that we were fed. We had the best he could furnish. While Englewood is a city of comfortable homes, its hotels

 At night we sat in our contracted quarters until the sheriff began to gap-. He was not late stayer The prob lem of sleeping twelve men in four full sized beds and four single cots was too much of sum, for me. The sheriff had had experience, however. He said we could cut cards, or pull straws, or toss a nickel to see who would sleep single and double.
 "I never had any luck and I never won a single cot My bedfellow was a husky farmer who kicked the cover at two hundred pounds, net. When he fell asleep he began to roll. There was not an inch of the bed which he failed to hit. He snored on every key. But he was not alone.

INVADED BY POLICE.

Chicago, May 16.-Bricklayers' hall, chief labor headquarters in Chicago and meeting place for the Federation of Labor, has been invaded by the pO- lice. Eleven union men were. arrested who had taken refuge in the building after a non-union driver had been '.slugged."
 Fear that he would meet the same fate as c. J. Carlstrom, the woodwork CT who was killed, 1t Is alleged, by "sluggers, has led John Mitterman to kill himself. Mitterman cut his throat with razor while standing in the street opposite his dwelling. He died two hours later at hospital, raving against the unions. Mitterman up to and after the time of the strike was in the employ of Fred l.. Meckel, in whose shops Carlstrom worked. He was one of the men on the list of those to be slugged of whom Carlstrom was the first.
 The fact that he was to meet the fate of Carlstrom so preyed upon Nit terman's mind that he sent a letter to Meckel week ago saying that he had been followed by ''sluggers" and was in fear of his life
 An investigation is being made by the police.

sNAlLS OVERRUN A CITY.
lnhabita n tA of Indiana Town Organ ise Night Hunts and XIII
 the Pests with Salt.

A plague of snails, or slugs. as the af' hicted people call them, lately struck Jeffersonville, Ind. in full force, and instances are cited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Feb ruary, 1884. but they have never been 50 bad as at present. The pests are not exactly like snail. but resemble them in some respects. They have no New York World.
 At no place in the city where the flood water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen, but in the most fashionable quarters the pests arc numerous. In size they range from one to six inches in length. being from a quarter to an inch in diameter. It is rot until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places, under houses. and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with a lamp and cup of salt, the people hunt for the pest, and when a slug is found its days are numbered. for the smallest particle of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind a slimy track. that furnishes a clew to their movements. In some places fine carpets have been ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
 One of the most peculiar character istics of the sings is their ability to get their large bodies through small space. They fiattsr out almost as thic as knife blade. allowing them to crawl through good sized door crack.

YELLOW FEVER
There Is No Occasion For Alarm
Remember The Lessons ot l he
 Epidemic of 1893.

As we are now threatened with another visitation of the dreaded yellow fever it is we'll to remem- Der the experiences of the last occasion. In all sections where yellow fever made it's appear ance it will be recalled that per sons who kept their stomach,
 liver and bowels strong and active were not affected by the disease; while others apparently healthy were stricken down.
 These latter were all more or less habitually constipated, bilious or victims of bad digestion; as a re- suit the blood became impure and the vital organs were unable to resist the deadly fever germs.
 Now is the time to prepare for what is to follow. Get your fam fly and yourself in shape to re- sist the disease. You don't know when you are exposed to it.; every man you meet may be affected, and if you put your preparations off from day to day you may be too late. The sensi- ble course is to begin at once taking Prickly Ash Bitters, that marvellous system regulator and blood purifier. Use it regularly every day. Half a wine-glassful each morning after breakfast will keep your bowels open and healthy; it will also strengthen the stomach and digestion, purify the blood and by stimulating the liver and kidneys all bile and uric acid impurities will be driven out of the body. In short, it puts the system in perfect order. Remember 1898. That was d record year for Prickly Ash Bitters. In the sections where it was used the most there were fewest cases of fever. You connot do better in this hour of danger than to make use of the means which experience has proven to be the best for fight ing off this terrible scourge. 78
