A REVIEW OF TRADE

Dun it Co., in their weekly trade review, eay: April la close at Land, and some anxiety as to the money market is usual at this season. The banks bare been Bending laive amounts to the interior through deposits at the Treasury aDd issues of silver certificates elsewhere, and there has also been a heary demand for Philadelphia exchange, SO that a further decline in reserves is expected. The Western and Southern dernand for money has been intensified by a desire to ship products before the interState act and the change of rates go into -5ßect. Though the demand at Chicazo is reported diminishing, rates are 0f.3 ier cent. All the circumstances make It comparatively easy for an operator to produce tight money if he pleases. The Treasury has taken in $1,700,J00 more gold thsn it has paid out during the past week;, but has added $3.000,000 to .'the outstanding silver certificates and put out some legal tenders also; the reduction of rates by the Bank of England and the abundance of money there favor continued p"mk in I it l s nmi k i mm iif Li m iMi.i.sr . i r eigrj trade, exports from New York for three weeks being IS per cent, larger than last year, with imports 71 per ceat. larger. The February official report shows an increase of $2.?00,0"J ia exports over last year, the amount being the Unrest since 1S3; bat the imports were the largest on record for many year in February, and the excess of imports was $1.214 o5. gold experts for the month exceeding imports by $1 C.,3 70. Railroad business has been Urge. Westbound shipments from chief Eastern cities vrere 1 4 4,100 tons in February, gainst 134,080 last year; but east-bound tonnage was 741,200 toss, against 850,204 tons last year. The temporary activity of March does not indicate large business after the change of rates, however, nor is the building of 610 miles of road, against 200 to date last year, a safe indication as to the future. lleports regarding the iron business are not favorable, imports evidently having a depressing effect. It would not be strange if a reaction should soon begin; the rise which began in 1371 lasted twenty months; the rise which began in 1S78 lasted sixteen months, and the rise which began in 1SS5 has now lasted about eighteen mjnths. The volume of legitimate business is large nd increasing, as exchanges and tonnage records show, but speculation in most mari.cts is dead. Oil speculation sailjrj from pending bills in Ohio and l'ennsylvinia. 1'ork products have reacted a little. Wool is lower, the demand for goods being slack. Wheat has declined 1 cent; corn alnat cent, and oats a shale, with uomasUy small sales and large leceipts. Cotton has edvsnced H and coC-e cent, and beef is stronger, but the prevailing uncertainty offsets most branches of business unfavorably, except as transactions are hastened to make shipments by rail before the change IB rates and expiration of contracts. The business failures during the last seven days number for the United States 2li; for Canada. 41; total, 250; asrainst 220 lest week, and 221 for the corresponding week of last year. The casualties this week are considerably above the average in the Southern States and in Canada. In New York city there were 10 failures; m the New England States 34, and in the Middle States 40. SENATOR BECK TALKS. The Interstate Commerce Commission acd Presidential Candidates. TXew lork Special. 1 Senator Beck, of Kentucky, was smoking a short clear and holding a traveling bag in his band when a reporter encountered him in the Ft. James Hotel lobby to day. 'When asked about the news at the capital he slowly blew a long curl of blue smoke from his mouth, paused a moment lor reflection, and then began to talk in his snappy, . . .t , : . . i. r .J l rW . 2&.. lUfl BI'LJUtULIUKUk UL LUE 1 11" terstate Commerce Commission is being chiefiy discussed at Washington just now. They are good men and will do their duty, I thini. There is Bill Morrison we all know him; he is qualified ia every way. There ia Bragg Brsr?, of Alabama. At first so much was not known about him. bat the Senators from his State spoke highly of him. It was said that he was stubborn, and that may Lave caused some indecision at first about appointing him. But stubbornness is a good thing to have sometimes, so Bragg is in the rieht pise?. The other men are all capable. We want to give the thine a fair trial, and I think these men will do it. 'Jhey will find out the deficiencies of the bill and show what ia to be remedied. If the railroads do not hamper the commission perhaps all will go weil, but if they do, if they try to evade the law, we will pass laws to deal with the railroad ofUcials individually and make it a felony. I tell you the railroads must not try to bs . arbiters and decide to do only what pleases them. If a road will carry freight for one person for $1 and charge another $2 of the : same town and distance the law mu3t regulate srch an injustice. The same applies to long acd short hauls. Look how the Standard Oil Company, in connection with the railroads, destroyed every vat company by charging them more freight. These things must not exist; they are destructive to industry and contrary to justice. This Board of Commissioners will Dot find yery much trouble if the railroad - companies desire to carry out the law. If they interpose and create obstacles we will find a way to deal with them. They are nothing but common carriers, and Con- : grees has the right to regulato them." "Who are talked about in Washington as Presidential candidates?'' "Well, it has narrowed down now to Blaine, Allison and Sherman ameng the Republicans, with the chances strongly in favor of Allison. If Mr. Blaine favors Mr. Allison it is more than probable he will be nominated. The Democrats have centered - on Governor Hill and President Cleveland. About nine-tenths, perhaps, are for Mr. - Cleveland. Do not ask me about the solid South, for I do not know what it will be In lsv. The Republicans are working for "Virjrinia and North Carolina. The future outlook for the Democracy? I cannot predict. I have nothing to say. I am no prophet. FATAL, RAILWAY ACCIDENT. "The Kcgineer Killed od Several Passen (era uarioasi ab juxen.

The President to-day received an illspelled letter from, a man in Mississippi who iLclosed a ticket in a lottery and refinest ed the President to sign it and send it back to him. He also asked the President to look the ticket over carefallyand do anything else to it that might be necessary in order to make the ticket good. This communication puzzled the President and bis Secretaries, but after close j.crutiny one of the latter discovered what is doubtless the right explanation of the curious application foi the President's autograph on the lottery ticket. Across ;one end of the ticket was printed tbe warning: "This ticket will not be received if it is mutilated in any way or the cumber on it chaneeJ, or unless it boars the sigi atnre of the President." The ticket bore the signature of the bttery company, but the purchaser of it thought the notice meant that the ticket had got to bear tbe signature of the President of the United States. The President does not know what to do with the ticket; he can't seDd It back to the owner by mall withour violating the law: it is against the law of the District for him to have the ticket in his possession, and it is not his to burn up. OVERTOPPING BABEL'S TOWER. The Wonderful Structure Soon to be Reared ia Pari. iraris Letter to Loudon I'all M&ll Gaettc J Paris is to have the greatest tower in the world after all. M. Eiffel's tower, which the Government has authorized him to raise on the Champ de Mars, will dominate all Paris and surpass, in fact almost double, in height the highest existing structure. Liberty, to whom Buch homage was paid the other week for her grandeur and greatness, is but a pigmy of the statue world compared with this gigantic monster. Lord Nelson's monument is 102 feet, the "Monument" 202 feet. Liberty 220 f?er, St. Taul's 3K) feet, the Great Pyramid 400 feet, St. Peter's of Rome 507 leet, the Cologne Cathedral 522 feet, tbe Washington Monument, at present the highest ia the world, 555 feet, and the I'aris Tower is 1,000 feet. Do not suppose that everjbody Is against the tower. On the contrary, when first the Government gave the undertaking its patronage public opinion began to look upon it very favorably. An enraptured journalist, moralizing on its gigantic proportions, saw in its innumerable advantages. He rejoictd that it would exasperate the priests, because it humiliates all the religious towers of Faris. Tbe Church of the Sacred Heart at Montmartre, nittit now abandon all pretension to dominate the town. From a patriotic piot of view, the tower would justify the expense, and show tbe astonished nations of Europe that the generous soul of France produces iron rnongh to build the biggest monument in tha world. Regarding the tower from tbe poetical, xatber that tbe practical ' aspect, the enthusiastic journalist w ent too far when he declared that it would prove that a people possessing legs and lungs eLongh to mount a thousand feet of steps was Dot a people in a state of physical deCay, for instead of mounting steps they will be gently hoisted up in steam lifts. In order to find out what M. Lille I had to say to the various objections which nave been made to his tower, and to get his opinion on its utility, I called on him the other day at his works at Lna Hois-Perret. To him his great projection is synonymous with the bucces of the Exhibtion. "Tbey begin by declaring." he remarked,

referring to his adversaries, "that my tower is not French. It is big enough aniclumsy enough for the English or Americana, but it is not our style, they eay. We are occupied raore with little artistic bibelots than giants of bad taste like your tower. Bat though we are occupied most with art and music, that is no reason," said he. emphat ically, "why we should not show the world w hat we can do in the way ol great engineering projects. And as for its being bad taste, why, on the contrary, it will be one of the chief ornaments of the town. Oae of the most frequent objections made to the tower is that it is useless. That is another error. Take its importance, for instance, from a meteorological point of view. It is not every day that meteorologists can get up a thousand feet above the soil. This tower will enable them to study the de crease of temperature at different heights, to observe the variation! of the winds, find out the quantity of rain that falls at different heights and the density of the clouds. Indeed, in all that relates to temperature, hygrometry, air currents and the composition of the air, the tower will anord opportunities lor study and research many of which hare hitherto been impossible. It will be equally useful to astronomers. Here experiences with the spectroscope can be carried on with great facility; the laws of retraction and the physical aspect of the moon, planets and nebula studied In most favorable conditions. I have received testimonies from savants on all these points. Then there is its utility from a military point of view. In the event of another Beige of Paris, see how im portant this tower would be. Communications could be kept up by means of optic telegraphy for a great distance around Paris; for from the summit you have a magnlScent panorama extending from 120 to 130 kilometres. I'aris by night, decorated and illuminated asitwill.be during the exhibition, is a sight which before was only within the reach of aeronauts. In tact, tbe tower will be the chief attraction of the exhibition. Sir Cunlifle Owens remarked to me just the other day. 'Do you think that we English will come to look at rour little bibelots and pots of pomade? No, but we will come in hundreds to see your tower.' " "What if it topple over, M. Eißel'" "There is not the least danger of that. In our construction of the tower we have calculated on '.the fore . wind. We have calculated that the tower will normally withstand a wind pressure of 300 kilogrammes per square metre, which amounts to a total pressure of 2,250,000 kilogrammes. We have made this calculation on the most favorable hypothesis possible. We have reckoned, the trellis work as full walls and made other allowances. And, as the strongest tempests known in Paris have never been beyond a pressure of 150 kilos per square meter, the tower is perfectly secure, ßhould a wind bearing ä force of 300 kilos arise little would be left standing in Paris except the tower." Br comparisons with railwar viaducts and other metallic erections M. Eiffel is able to state what the oscillations of the tower will be. Daring a hurricane violent enough to make the summit unapproacha ble the oscillation of the tower at the very top will not' exceed twenty-two centimetres which Is about e!ght inches and owing to the great height the movements will be extremely slow. M. Eiffel lays great stress on the importance of the tower for Illumination purposes, and says that If fitted with a Dumber of powerful electric lamps t might light the whole exhibition. The arrangements with regard to the light ing, in which the town will have a Bay, are not yet definitely fixed. Neither is the arrangement for the lifts finally settled. M. Eiffel speaks of a lift lor each of the four pillars until the second nt&ze is reached, end the a two to tbe top. In accordance with an arrangement with the Gorernmeat, observatories will be placed at three stages of the towei Veins' cf iron it will be prefer' sWe lor tntposeBCi scientific observa'lcü in a stone creciicn cr.. j.t rscr!:- r'i. jorcewha: detract fron: :tf uselu.'ne" as'ronomeis thonld they attempt to r ;h position ol stars from its snmrci'. . cot. mission appointed by tne Minister Ci Conn. merce to find oat what precanUoc ahculd

be taken against lightning found that con

ductors may be easily arranged with persect safety to visitors which will not only protect the tower itself, but the surrounding buildings. The construction of the tower has already commenced, and it will be finished by Jan. 1, iss:. The total cost of the tower is to be 4 850,000 francs I. 4 000 The Government subvention is 0,000. M. Eiffel will run the tower during the exhibition and for twenty years afterward, at the end of which time it will become the properly of the town. Considering tbe fondness Parisians tbowed during the last exhibition to set up in balloons, he thinks they will show an equal desire to mount his tower. He has fixed his tariff already. Any one who mounts to the first stage will have to pay two francs This immense space will be let out by M. Eiffel as cafes and restaurants. To ui eud to tbe summit will cost five francs a bead. On Sundays the prices will be reduced to two francs and one fianc. Oatwltted by m Journalist. A good story is told, says the Washing ton correspondent of the New York World, about the way Elijah Smith, of New York, President of the Oregon avigation Com pany, and a syndicate of railroad managers, including Mr. Lee, forme-ly confidential secretary to Henry - Villard, then of the Northern Pacific, were defeated near the close of the season by a voung newspap er man, J. l. JJickerson, of Helena. Montana. Dickerson aud others were interested in the passage of a bill granting tbe right of way for constructing coal roads through the Crow reservation, which would place Helena nearer and more convenient to the coal fields. The bill was opposed by Smith and others, who had a protect of acquiring a land grant to a road they proposed to construct as a feeder to the Northern Pacific. Dickerson got his bill passed, and then the opposition, as a last resort, went to the President and made a strong appeal for its veto. Dickerson, unaided by any particular influence here to offset the po wer of the Smith syndicate, hit upon a novel and ef fective way to mnnence tbe President, lie sent telegrams to his friends in the Terri tory detailing the possible danger of the fatal veto, and asked them to shower in telegrams upon the President urging him to sign the bill. Dickerson requested them to name in their telegrams the fabulous prices being charged for coal and the urgent necessity for the road. In less than four hours telegrams began coming into the White House from prom inent citizens at Helena. The majority of tbe telegrams read something like this: "Coal sellmg at $.0 a ton and going up. By all means sign the bill." ''Without the rigtof way for tbe new road to the coal fields we are ruined." "Persons freezing to death daily because they are unable to buy fuel.' " e are in the hands of the railroad corporations, and only the signing of the bill will relieve us from abject slav ery and tyranny. The telegrams had the desired effect, and Dickerson had his bill signed, while Smith and his associates returned to New York, not knowing the source of the inüuence brought to bear on the Executive. THE HOTEL REGISTER FOUND. All the Dead in the Buffalo Fir Accoun'ed For. IUffaio, March 21. This afternoon workmen at the ruins of the Richmond Hotel found the ledger or "room-boot" of tbe hotel, which contained the names of all the guests. It shows tbe name of every guet in tbe building on that fatal morning. It was taken to police head quarters, where it was carefully examined. with special reference to the names of those reported missing among the guests. The result was that the only name found in the book among tboee given as missing was that of Robert S. Boyd, of Boston, who occupied room 175, on the side adjoining tüe museum, lhe discovery removes the last doubt as to Boyd's fate. It also settles the fact that all the dead have been ac counted for. THE WORK OF FIENDS. Twelve -Tear-Old Girl Aaulted Houghs and l'a tally Injured by Jersey City, March 24. Five roughs waylaid and assaulted Louise Winkle, a twelve-year-old girl, last Tuesday night, oa the outskirts of Gran ton, in Hudson County. They dragged her Into a small grove of cedar woods and there aocompUshel their purpose. The approach of Miss Chasmer, a young woman employed as telegraph operator in the station, frightened them away, but not before she had recognized four of the party. She says tbey were James McGregan, Albert Smith, Robert Montgomery, ot West New York, and Andrew Hohner. The unfortunate girl was left unconscious. Miss Chasmer carried her home, where she related tbe story. Phillip Winkle, the father of the cirl, spread the report, and searching parties were immediately organ ized. Later The little girl has died of her in juries. A FAITHLESS LOVER. A Deserted Girl at the Point of Death and Iter Parents Insane. Cleveland, March 24. A Leader special from Clinton tells of the terrible results of a broken marriage engagement at Minerva, Ohio. Charles Boerncr, a taker and confectioner, loved Lily Morledge, daughter of a merchant. About two weeks ago his ardor cooled and he deserted the girl. Mr. and Mrs. Morledge brooded over the affair until both became insane, and their daughter is now lying at the point of death, her illness having been caused by the action of her faithless lover.

A MAGNETIC TABLE.

A Tiere of Furniture on Which the Owner Won Thonsands Throwing: Dice. IHanford (Cel.) Special to the Bun.l Fcr ten year past there has stood in the corner of the billiard room cf the princi pal hotel in this town a rickety old card table. Its worthlessness caused it to re main in the place during the changes ot the hotel's many proprietorships, it was a round table covered with an old gray army blanket, racked to the edge through a long strip ot leather. At regular distances were four pieces of tin clumsily nailed down for the players to lay their lighted cigars on. In late years its four rudely made legs were so shsky that no one cared to teeter his chips on the table, ana it was chiefly used by the gcasts to throw tbeir coats and hats on whea they went to their meals, for a long time the present proprietor always said when he looked at the table that be "intended to clear it out to-morrow and get a new one," but somehow this was not done until lately; perhaps then only because people began to tear their coats on the nails, and their impromptu remarks on the subject tenaea to complicate matters. It was alter a double-barrel explosion of this kind the other day that the proprietor told his bartender to cut the cover off the table and make kindling wood of the cussed thing. The bartender whipped out his knire and began to carve the blanket. He had just made one savage Elash and had started a second when bis knife struck against something metallic. He then ripped the cover off and found a steel plite nine inches long and six inches wide, which was set flush into the table. The plate was about a foot from the edge and pierced with a dozen holes. Every one wondered what it was for, and an old towLsman remembered that the table had been brought there from Virginia City years ago, and presumed it was used in the early days to play some kind of cribbage. When the table began to be chopped up a light was thrown on the character of the table ; for underneath the top. concealed on a little 6helf by one of the legi, were a email battery, coils of wire, and some com plicated machinery connected with one of the tin plates. These were covered with rust and dust. Then the old townsman woke up and remembered seeing in days gone by a man named lick Davis win $7,000 at dice oa that very table, from a cattle man, in about fifteen seconds, beside picking up sundry thousands and hundreds at other times from those who were gamblingly inclined. Two drinks also caused the old townsman to suddenly recollect that Davis came down to Muscel Slough as Hanford was called then from Virginia City with a big repu tation as a "dip chucker, and tbe boys rime in from near and far to buck him. It was said that Davis won over $100,00 J at dice in the mines, where he was called 'Lucky Pick." As he was not found out in his play he is alive to-day, but he has changed his name and owns a big ranch ia the ban Joaquin v alley, bo it is seen that one way to wealth and respectability has been for a "sure thine man" in the discov ery of a magnetic outfit, to do up people with dice, and not to get caught because he got in his work single-handed. A HAIR-PULLING MATCH. Two Factions of a Ladles Benevolent So clety Indulge In a Lively Scrimmage. New York, March 16 About forty members of the Ladies' German Schuetzenbund Benefit Society, of Newark, engaged in a rcrimmage Monday night that wes rery little short of a riot. The members are divided into two factions. One of them is led bv Mrs. M?ta Hilson, the Presdent, and the other by Mrs. Annie 6mith. The point of division was as to allowing men to become members of the society. Mrs. Hilton, believing that none of the la dies were fitted for Corresponding Secreta ry, had her faction elect her husband to the position. He performed the duties for a year, and when, at the expiration of his teim, the usual complimentary resolutions were onered, and some one stepped for ward to give him a gold-headed cane in acknowledgement of his services, Mrs. Smith became excited and warmly denounced him. She said he had embodied the Society'a money and was a thief. Tbe meeting adjourned la contusion and the next day Mrs. Smith had Hilson arrested for the alleged embezzlement, Jrstice Roder, who examined the books at -H ikon's request honorably arquitted him. Monday was the time for holding of the next regular meeting after these develop ments, lit lore the appointed hour Mrs. Smith gathered her forces and went through an election of officers. When the Hilson party entered the hall they found the officers chairs occupied. A warm struggle ensued for the possession of the gavel, and then the two factions engaged in a hand to band hair-pulling match. For a season the air v as full of shrieks, lamentations and yells. Mrs. Smith had provided herself with a cat-o nine-tail and laid it around m theliveliest conceivable fashion, while the gavel was used with good effect by some one else. A number of men attending a meeting in another room attempted to quell the disturbance, but were powerless to do it, and the police had to be sum moned, lesterday warrants were issued for some of the combatants on the complaint of those whom they vanquished. PLUNGED TnKOl'On A TRESTLE. Terrible Accident ou the Marietta Kailroad ear Parke rsburf, West Virginia. PARKERrcKG, W. Va March 16. A hor rible accident happened twelve miles from btre this morning on the Marietta Mineral Railroad. A heavy mixed train had just passed Vincent Station, when the train was divided, In order to cross mort eafely a trestle ninety feet high, lhe first sec tion passed over all right, whpn the engine bearing the engineer. H. S. Vincent, tireman Albert llushley, Brakeman Stew art, Conductor Jack McCoy, and a passen, per named Early returned for section 2Wben at the highest point of the trestle the engine gaae a sudden jerk and plunged straight down to the abyss below, carrying aL on board with it. Vincent and Rashley were killed. Their bodies were scarcely recognizable. Rushley had his head severed from his body and one leg cut off, while incent was cut in two. Conductor McCoy was under the wreck pinned down by the heavy engine. It was nearly half an hour before he was taken out. In the meantime escaping steam scalded his head, face and body. His recovery is doubt ful. Brakeman Stewart was terribly scalded, and there are but faint hopes of his recovery. Early, the passen ger, had both legs broken ana was injured internallr. He is said to be dying. The place Into which the engine piungea is a vawnlne abjsa at the bottom of which is a rocky stream. The section which the engine was returning for had the passenger coaches loaded, and the loss of life would have been frightful had the accident hap pened while returning with them.

Successful Treatment of Patients at the Philadelphia Hospital. Th iLA warm a, March IS. At the meeticg of the Hospital Committee of the Board of Guardians of the Poor to-day Dr. T. N. McLaughlin, Physician Chief of the Philadelphia Hospital, presented a" report of the success of the treatment adopted about a month ago for patients in the institution suCering from consumption. He said that so far the success of the treat-' ment was almost marvellous, and in the cases which had agreed to submit to the methods adopted no other has been uted. Dr. McLaughlin first obtained the idea from a paper read before the College of Science at a recent meeting in Taris by one of the Professors in the University of Lyons. It was. recommended so highly and had shown such surprising results in France that Dr. McLaughlin decided to test it in the hospital. He explained the treatment to the patients when, thirty of them agreed to submit to the operation. To these patients who were considered to be suffering from the last stages of consumption, two rectal injections of carbonic acid gas prepared by the process given br the French physician were given each day, all the medicine being abandoned. The patients at once began to ehow signs of improvement. The night sweats ceaied, as if br magic, the almost constant pains from which they suffered vanished, the executions of the body were regular and became natural and the appetite returned. The sick grew brighter and stronger each day and since te beginning ot the treatment one of the number has gained twelve pounds in weight while others have gained from three to five pounds in the same time. How far the improvement will continue under the treatment can not yet be judged, but the results have been so satisfactory that Dr. McLaughlin Las abandoned all other remedies in the treatment of patients who can be induced to Bubmit to the operation, and he is so agreeably surprUed at the results that he feels almost ready to say that a cure for consumption, which has always been considered fatal when once developed, has been found. A Shower of Quail Virginia City. Nev., Enterprise. "Sportsmen in this part of Nevada are lamenting the greet slaughter of quails made by the "pot hunters" on the Carson and in other places where the birds sought shelter during the late big storm. Such slaughter is to be deplored, but it may be that we shall have a new stock of quail sent us. A few years ago we had in thi3 city a most remarkable shower of quail. It occurred about 4 o clock in tbe evening in the fall of tbe year. Where the quail came from no one could imagine, as they were of the large mountain variety, and perfect beauties. The fall of birds extended from about Sutton avenue out north ot the Union shaft, extending over three quarters of a mile of ground. hen thev feu they seemed to be completely exhausted. People caught them by putting their hats over them or by simply picking them up. Everybody had quail. About 100 were caught alive and kept in cages and pens in various parts of the town. A curious thing was that these seemed perfectly tame and at home at once. There were at the time many conflicting opinions about this great flight of quails. The most plausible solution of the phenomenon was that the birds had collected at some points in the Sierras for tbe purpose of migrating to the southward. but had either mistaken their course or had been blown out of it, and so Hew on and on till they were obliged to come to the ground thiough exhaustion. Night coming on soon after the birds fell, hundreds roos'ed about the town, and next day boys were catching and killing them up to 11 or 12 o'clock. By that time nearly all the bewildered wanderers had scattered away into the hills. There they doubtless remained to breed and stock the country, as it ia not kr.own that they ever got together again to try a second flight. Washington Ladies Who Use Tobacco. 1 Albany Journal Correspondence 1 It has been no secret that many ladies in society here of late years have tnioked more or less cigarettes. This winter the J practice of snuff-dipping has found great avor among the fair sex and many genteel atd high-bred ladies in society have indulged in it. Each snnfl-dlpper has her bottle and swab-stick, from and by. which she conveys the filthy dust to her lips. The srticle used for this repulsive purpose is the old-fashioned yellow Scotch snuff, of which four times as much is consumed in this way br the women of this metropolis as for the titillation of the olfactory organ by all the snun-takers of both sexes. Wheu the practice has once fastened upon a woman it Is said that she rarely, if ever, is able to shake it off. Neither ruinedhealth, Belf-respect, love for her husband, children or friends can give her sufficient resolution to abstain from "digging" o "dippicg," as snuff -chewing is called. Fatally Shot. Chicago, March 23. The large diningroom of the Palmer House was the scene of a tragedy at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Philip F. liearling, one of the waiters, who was discharged this morning, entered the room and approached Charles F. Jordan, the head-waiter, and commenced remonstrating at his summary discharge. Jordan pushed him oS, which or.ly exasperated Besrling, who, when he found his wordrf had no effect, hissed through his teeth: 'Til murder you." The next instant the polished barrel of a pistol Hashed, and before any one could move a bullet entered the head of Jordan. Guests surrounded the wounded man, carrying him to the room of Dr. Stubbs. While in the confusion Bearling succeeded in making his escape. Dr. McGlynn'i Venture. New Yoek, March 25. Rev. Dr. McGIynn will lecure on "The Cross of the New Crusade" at the Academy of Music next Tuesday evening. Dr. McGIynn will review the struggle of labor against capital, and the rights of tenants versus landlordism. This venture of Dr. McGIynn has surprised many of his supporters, wbo think it a move in the wrong direction and very illadvised at the present time. It shows that Dr. Mr Glynn has no intention whatever to go to Rome, as his agents state that in caee tb'i Ie ture proves a success it will be followed by others. The First Course.

His old comprint had not troubled him for six n onihs. While in Europe he might do a little for the new bank by looking out for suitable places to locate agencies, but that would only be in his private capacity and not as an officer of the bank. C. N.
