A

SUGAR trust would be valuable in any family where they do not! keep

a cow. Mr. Matthiesson, one of

the principal promoters of that famous aggregation of capital, is quoted as saying that for a number of

years his profits were 200 per, cent, at least on his investment.

THERE is a "financial depression in Russia that appears cavernous in. comparison with the financial difficulties with which the people of the: United States are struggling. Corn is so abundant and the price so low that many farmers are sending their' cattle into the fields to save the expense of gathering. In the Cauca-. sus barley and wheat are cut green and given to the cattle.

6. F. SWIFT & Co., of the Chicago Stock Yards, have begun the shipment of live cattle to England and. »ther European countries. Mr. Swift made this experiment once before, but the success was not flattering. A Chicago cattle expert will iow superintend the sales abroad, Mid other conditions being regarded as more favorable, this second venture. it is believed, will prove successful.

ST. LOUIS possesses the uniques distinction of being the only place in the world where horse racing canbe seen at night. The track is a' regulation daylight course lighted by a bunch of incandescent electric lights every twenty-five feet. Twenty thousand candle power is expended on the course. The venture has been a success from the start, and, and the grand stand will not accommodate the crowds.

A REMARKABLE phase of Western enterprise was exhibited at Sequoyah, I. T. Aug. 8 the "city" consisted of a court house in the woods' and a few isolated shanties. The population was of no consequence. Aug. 15 the Cherokee payment be-i gan. On that date Sequoyah was a thriving city of 2,000 inhabitants with every branch of business well represented. The "city" consisted largely of tents, but was laid off in squares and boasted of nearly all the' metropolitan attractions, including dance halls, gambling houses and' two blacksmith shops. The payment of $700,000 continued for a week,

A

CORRESPONDENT of the New

York Sun accuses Br'er Talmage with making a gross misstatement? a recent editorial article in the' Christian Herald, in which he said! that Nahor was seventy years older, than Methusaleh, giving the age of* Methusaleh at 1)69 years and crediting Nahor with 1,039 years.. Genesis xi, 24, 25, very clearly establishes the age of Nahor at one hundred and forty-eight years. The Sun correspondent is disposed to be' very merry at the blunder,—which, might be pardoned in an ordinary country parson, but in a minister of such great preteusions as the Brooklyn divine is justly regarded as ridiculous.

THE South Park Commissioners, at Chicago, are wrestling with the proposed improvement of the Midway Plaisance. According to the plans drawn by Frederick Law OlmBtead there is to be a canal directly through that famous thoroughfare 600 feet wide and about one mile fcng. On either side at present is an unimproved street—Fifty-ninth street on the north, Sixtieth street! en the south. It is proposed to make boulevards of these streets, and the estimated cost of these road ways is $150,000. The total cost of fhecanal and road ways is placed ati $530,000. Property owners propose to divide the cost with the commismis8ioners, and are urging immediate action. The Commissioners are disposed to go slow.

Skillful Women.

Once in a while a akillful-Sngered woman with happy suggestions in her busy brain hits on a device in the way of decoration or fancy work that yields her a good round sum of money. A woman made thousands of dollars by inventing the device of little owl,s as a decoration for Christmas cards. The gamo woman has put on sale "brownies" as good as those of Palmer Cox, and which can be used as favors and for other ornamental purposes. In Oxford, Engiand, a woman makes a living selling lamp and candle shades made to represent the regulation trencher or student's mortarboard cap. In pink or blue paper they are wonderfully pretty. It is just the time now for our own women workers to get up Christmas novelties for the farcy shops and Woman's Exchange.

HARRISON HEARD FROM.

The Ex-President Talks to Wc3t Vlrglnlj Republicans.

The Republicans of the Second Wes Virginia Congressional district never ha as large a convention as the one that Sept. 5, at Eikins. nominated Alston Gor: don Dayton, of Barbour county, to rui against Chairman W. L. Wilson for Congress. Ex-President Harrison arrived a 1 p. m. by special train from Cumberlant with his" daughter, Mrs. McKee, as tin guest of ex-Secretary Elkins. A committee was appointed to call on the ex-Presi dent, and "invite him to address the con vention. When the committee escortet the distinguished visitor to the open-ai convention there was a great demonstra tion. The ex-President said:

I eami! here, to this beautiful valley the mountains to pay a visit to a citizei with whom I have been very pleasantly associated. It was not expected that should be called upon to address any public body, but when invited. I choose come.

You are assembled to discharge an important public duty and I will not, therelore, detain you with any speech. Thi! district will be before all eyes this autumn This contest is not local. It happens thai your present representative has been assigned to prepare the tariff bill and has attached his name to it. It is, therefore, expected that his conduct will be subjected to severe and careful scrutiny. Unfortunately the proclamation has beet made by President Cleveland and Mr. Wilson that the tariff bill is not a finality, but that this distinctive warfare is to gc orf. If you approve this, show it by returnirig'Mr. Wilson to Congress, but if, on the other hand, you have felt tho effects of the depression, if you think more o! those you prefer to lead the country through the slough of despondency, show it by defeating him. I can not say much of the lftst administration—deli'cacv forbids me to say much of this—but if yon consider.the heads of Departments and subordinate officers, you will see that there was an attempt to act for tho besl interests of all the people. I can not say how far we have succeeded, but only that we have done the best we could do. If the people at tho elections this fall condemn the recent action on the tariff, we shall have an end of tariff tinkering. When the tide of emigration started from the seaboard it returned to Ohio and the interior valleys, but now il is toward WTest Virginia. Now the spring of commerce is coursing through your fertile valley. The pick and shovel are busy. Is this a time with the cheap ocean rates to bring into competition with your products the cheap coal of Nova "Scotia? 1 speak as a patriotic American, who feels an interest in the honest people. To youi judgment by the quiet November firesides this question must be settled, and may you have the courage to do your duty. 1 thank you lor your attention and hope that vou will immediately nominate the best man.

Ex-President Harrison was received with enthusiasm and his brief speech favorably commented on by other speakers. lie was freely applauded at various points.

An English committee to investigate the numerous lynchings of negroes in the South has been sent to this country by English philanthropists. Monday the New York World sent a copy of the following telegram to Gov. O'Ferrall, of Virginia Gov. Northen, of Georgia Gov. Fish back, of Arkansas and Gov. Tillman, of South Carolina:

An English committee has been sent here to investigate and denounce Southern lynchings. Will you please telegraph us what you think of English meddling with our affairs?

The Governors all replied In a spirited way. Gov. O'Ferrall stated that Americans could with equal propriety investigate the Whitechapel murders and the outrageous colonial policy of England, and characterized the sending of the commission as "the quintessence of impudence." He stated that in every case of a colored man having been lynched in Virginia the victim was undoubtedly guilty of rape on white women,and that the authorities had been overpowered by the mob. In three cases, the Governor said, he had protected the colored men charged, with rape at great expense by tho militia, and they wero duly convicted and executed. Gov. Northen and the other State executives replied in a similar vein. Gov. 1 illman stated, however, that he would afford the commission every facility to learn the truth, In spite of the impertipence of tlie proceeding, and Invited them to come on. as an Investigation could not- be conducted in New York.

To rain and general apathy is due the light vote, and though the Democrats admit defeat they do not show a symptom of discouragement. The Prohibitionists and Populists are not largely in evidence, so far as returns indicate, Returns have been received by the Associated Press from' oyer one^hundred cities and towns and these indicate that the State has re-elected Governor Cleaves, Republican, over Charles F. Johnson, Democrat, by a majority which
