IT ffiUBM THE NEWS GBIST. Important Happenings in Every Quarter of the Civilized Globe. The Very Latest Intelligence Flashed Over the Telegraphic Wires. LATEST DISPATCHES. POLITICAL. Meeting of the lowa and Maryland Republican Conventions. The lowa Republican Convention, which was held at Dei Moines Aug. 24, heartily cheered every allusion to Blaine and Allison. Governor Larrabee and Lieutenant Governor Hull were renominated by acclamation. George S. Robinson was nominated for Supreme Judge on the fifth ballot, and Henry Sabin for Superintendent of Public Instruction on the third ballot. The platform embraces twc ve resolutions. The suppression of the black vote in the South is viewed with alarm; the protective tariff and civil-service reform are approved; the Cleveland administration is denounced; the interstate commerce act is indorsed and anti-monopoly legislation in the State demanded; a liberal pension policy is favored, prohibition stoutly upheld; the usual message of sympathy extended to Gladstone and Parnell, and Governor Larrabee’s administration commended. Lewis E. McComas presided over the Maryland Republican Convention, which met at Baltimore August 24. The following ticket was nominated: For Governor, Walter B. Brooks, of Baltimore; for Comptroller, R. B. Dixon, of Talbot County; for Attorney General, Francis Miller, of Montgomery County. The platform arraigns the President for not calling to account Federal officers who have disregarded his instructions regarding active participation in politics, which alleged shortcoming on his part is held to be a confession that his civil-service reform utterances are insincere. FERDINAND SNUBBED. The Sultan Refuses the Prince Permission to Pay Him a Personal Visit. A CABLE dispatch from Constantinople says: “M. Valkovitch, the Bulgarian Agent, has handed to the Porte a telegram from Prince Ferdinand expressing his devotion to the Sultan and asking permission to come to Constantinople and pay his homage in person. Kiomi Pasha, the Prime Minister, telegraphed a reply informing the Prince that the Sultan cannot accede to his proposition. The Porte disapproves of his entry into Bulgaria without the sanction of the Porte and powers. Russia’s reply to the last circular of the Porte suggested that au Ottoman commission and a Russian General should go to Sofia to secure conjointly and in a legal manner the election of a new Sobranje, which should elect a new prince. This proposal, being submitted to the powers, was sanctioned by France and Germany, but disapproved of by the other powers, who advised the Porte to adopt a policy of moderation and to await events.” Released on Ball. A dispatch from Gardner, 111., says: “Miss Sarah H. Dodge, the alleged slayer of Walter S. Babcock, the Chicago lumber ‘ merchant, waived a hearing and was admitted to bail in the sum of SIO,OOO. The willingness of State’s Attorney Carter to accept SIO,OOO bail is construed as a tacit admission that he does not believe Miss Dodge will be convicted of the murder by the court, and that the case will never get further than the Grand Jury. Mr. Carter admitted as much. He said: ‘lt will be difficult to convict Miss Dodge, I fear. Babcock's friends will not prosecute her, but want to let the matter drop. He refused to make any statement against her. She can claim the shooting was in self-defense or accidental, and there is no way of successfully contradicting her.’ The true cause of the death of Babcock will never be known to the public unless Miss Dodge chooses to reveal it. There is no reason why she should, and every reason why she should not. ” A Garrison at Winnipeg. Sir John A. Macdonald, speaking of the Red River Valley Road in Manitoba, is reported as saying: “I am determined the construction of that road shall be stopped, and if necessary by British regulars.” At his suggestion, the Government has dedecided to establish a garrison at Winnipeg. Restoring the Public Lands. The Register and Receiver of the United States Land Office at Prescott, Ari., have been instructed to open for settlement the lands in their district hitherto withdrawn for indemnity purposes under the Atlantic and Pacific grant. Minor Telegrams. Charles Bartlett, cashier of the Sumter (South Carolina) National Bank, has absconded with all the bank's funds. His books show a shortage of $20,000. The bank has closed its doors. Bartlett is supposed to Ae in Mexico. His downfall is jittribnteti*to speculation. "It is stated the loss of the rice crop of f South Carolina by the recent freshet will exceed SIOO,OOO. Many planters have been ruined by the flor-is, and the question of what to do with tuo negroes on their plantations is a serious one. A special from Hinton, W. Va., brings the rueful story from McDowell County that everybody there is down again with a dreadful disease that becomes epidemic over a very severe drought. It is stated 200 persons have died in consequence during the last four weeks. The people have suspended all business and are devoting themselves wholly to caring for the sick and burying the dead. EAST. A Boston dispatch announces the death of Alvan Clark, who had a world-wide reputation as a practical astronomer and manufacturer of telescopes. His age was 89 years and G months. Through his efforts he has given to the world the largest and most powerful astronomical instruments ever made. Professor Spencer F. Baird, of the United States Fish Commission, died at Wood’s Holl, Mass., aged 64 years. When ■be was only 23 years of age, he was elected Professor of Natural Sciences in Dickinson College. He removed to Washington in 1850, and became Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, at the head of which was then the late Professor Henry. This position Professor Baird held until May, 1878, when, upon the death of Professor Henry, he was elected Secretary and Manager of the Institution. WEST. The well-known jewelry house of N. Matson & Co., at State and Monroe streets, Chicago, has failed. The liabilities amount to about $300,000, and the assets will,- it is thought, yield SIOO,OOO more. The failure was precipitated by the recent death of Mr. Matson^

A number of German Catholic priests in the Northwest have been interviewed regarding the approaching convention of German Catholics in Chicago. They deny that its purpose is hostile to the Irish element in the church or that there is any animosity existing between the German and Irish Catholics as classes. Sheriff Kendall and his posse of nine were ambushed by the belligerent Utes near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. After a hard fight they escaped with a loss of three horses killed and four men wounded. The settlers are fleeing for their lives, and the hostiles are being reenforced. Another outrage by the “White Cap” organization of Crawford County, Ind., has just been committed, says an Indianapolis telegram: This time the victim is a lady teacher, who has been a resident of the county for years, and during the time has held many positions in the high schools of Southern Indiana. Tho lady is a widow named Wilson, and something of a society belle in the community. Among the pupils who attended her school last term was a lad named William Strong, and he appears to have become something of a favorite with the teacher; so much so, in fact, that the other pupils became jealous of him. Being naturally bright, he advanced more rapidly than his fellow-pupils, and this alao led to increased jealousy. The idle talk which originated in the school-room was repeated at home, and the lady has received a peremptory order to leave the country at once. In the notice she received from the White Cups they accuse her of trying to awaken the love of the youth, knowing that he will come into possession of a handsome property when ho Is of age. Atchison, Kan., was visited by a terrific hailstorm, ami between $4,G00 ami $5,000 damage was done. Car windows were smashed, as were also church and store windows. Authentic reports qte extant of another big scheme, at the back of which is the Minnesota and Northwestern Railroad Company, says a St. Paul dispatch. It is well known that the road is surveying a new line to Duluth, and that next year a double track road will be built. On this line, according to reports, another suburb of St. Paul is to be built, much on the same plan as that of St. Paul. SOUTH. The census of Knoxville, Tenn., shows the population to be 3G.707. Six men were indicted at Woodstock, Va., for taking Senator Riddleberger from jail, and the Deputy Sheriff who delivered the keys to them has also been indicted. WASHINGTON. It is stated in a Washington dispatch that a movement is being made all along the line in Grand Army circles to have the existing system of pension payments changed so as to have them made monthly rustead of quarterly. The argument in favor of this change is based upon the assumption that it would be more convenient for the pensioners to receive their money from the Government as their monthly bills become due. The pensioner who receives $8 a month and lives in rooms or in a house rented for teat sum would gladly devote it to payment on that account, as a matter of convenience to himself as well as to other parties interested. Those who receive larger or smaller pensions, depending upon that certain income for the defraying of certain expenses, would also be better accommodated than by the present system. This argument seems to be accepted by the G. A. R. posts the country over, and the probability is a petition founded upon it will be in readiness to be £ resented to the Fiftieth Congress next lecember. POLITICS. Henry George was nominated for Secretary of State by the New York State United Labor Convention at Syracuse, on the “Clarendon Hall Platform,” on which he made his canvass for Mayor of NewYork. The Socialists of the metropolis have passed resolutions denouncing the exclusion of their delegates from the convention, and propose to put a ticket of their own in the field. During the three years ended July 30 45,373 postmasters were appointed. The total number of postofiices in the country is 58,157. Henry George declares himself well satisfied with the work of the convention, which nominated him for Secretary of State of New York. He will make a thorough canvass of the State, and promises to “make it warm for the two old parties.” The socialists’ meeting to express disapproval of the nominees of the United Labor Convention at Syracuse was a disorderly affair, says a New York telegram. In his opening remarks Chairman O’Neill began to denounce Henry George, when he was interrupted by hisses from a large number of those not in sympathy with the object of the meeting. The confusion ; was so great that O’Neill brought ; his remarks to a close. Wiliam Penn ' Rogers then began to speak, but his first I reference to Henry George provoked a ' storm of applause and hisses, during w hich j those on the platform defiantly waved red | flags. He also abruptly closed and was followed by Editor Schevitch, of the lolAx | Zeitung, who was listened to with tolera- j ble patience, although at one time pro- i ceedings were interrupted by a fivht in the ' rear portion of the hall. Resolutions were i adopted denouncing Henry George and declaring him to be a “boss. ” A call has been issued by the | Executive Committee of the “American party” for a convention, to be held at Philadelphia Sept. 16 and ; 17, for the purpose of perfecting the' organization. Among .he defined objects of the movement aie the restriction of immigration, a thorough revi-ion of the naturalization laws, the suppression of polygamy and intemperance, the promotion of the free-school system, and an equitable solution of the labor problem. Mr. Powderly writes a letter denying that he is identified with the movement or in sympathy’ with its aims. LABOR. The International Stove-molders’ Union will demand an increase of wages varying from 10 to 15 per cent, all over the United States and Canada. Two weeks will be given the bosses to make up their minds to grant the increase, and if they will not do so a strike will be ordered. If at the end of the first week of the strike the increase is not accorded 5 per cent, additional is to be asked. GENERAL. The steamship City of Montreal, of the Inman Line, which sailed from New York for Liverpool, Aug. 6 was burned at sea five days later. The passengers numbering 420, and the crew left the burning vessel in life-boats, one of which, containing thirteen persons, has not been heard from and was doubtless lost. The occupants of the other boats were picked up by the steamship York City and taken to Queenstown. The officers and crew’ of the City ofjMontreal behaved handsomely, and to their heroism and coolness the survivors probably owe their lives. The burned steamship was valued at $500,000, and carried a very heavy cargo. The business failures occurring throughout the United States and Canada during the week numbered 161. Interviews with the leading firms in the various branches of trade in New York City show that gen- ; eral business is in a very satisfactory condition. Collections arc reported good, and । a healthy tone pervades all lines of trade. , R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly trade review states that everything how turns on crop

prospects, and that, while the estimates of the harm done by the drouth differ widely, the njury to wheat does not appear important, and corn has not been damaged so extensively as to overbalance the increase in acreage. While the railroads continue to report large earnings, IGB roads show a net gain of 7.7 per cent, for July over last year. The weakness in securities operates to prevent sales for extensions and new roads, and thus affects the demand for rails and iron. George G. Wright, of Des Moines, lowa, was elected President of the American Bar Association, which has just closed its session nt Saratoga. The reports of a famine in Northern Newfoundland are confirmed. A Quebec dispatch says: A resident at Shigawke, Bonaventure County, says ho is in receipt of news from the northwest const of Newfoundland with regard to the cod fishery there, which has always boon good, but- the present year has been an exception to this rule, and the fisheries are u total failure so far, and oven at the present time many families are in a state of more than semi-starvation. To make matters still worse these fisheries in the spring also proved a failure. There is one small island on the coast upon which reside eight or ten families. In former years it was by no moans uncommon for the families to have at this time of year ns many as 200 quintals of fish apiece; now they have not half that-qmmtity among them all. No one who observes the state of affairs in Newfoundland us they at present exist but is convinced of their extreme gravity. A St. Louis special says definite information has been received that President and Mrs. Cleveland and accompanying party will arrive in that city on the evening of Oct. 1, but the President will see nobody that evening except a reception committee that will meet him at the depot. The party will remain in St. Louis uytil the evening of the sth, when they will leave for Chicago. The President will go to Philadelphia on the 17th of September to attend the centennial constitutional celebration. He will probably bo accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland. A monopoly known as the Union Strawboard Company has been formed, and several mills have been shut down in consequence. The Supreme Council of the American Legion of Honor has just held its biennial convention in Washington. The Supreme Council consists of forty-six delegates, representing a total membership of 62,000. The order is carrying a benefit insurance of $183,000,900, and has collected and paid in the course of the last two years about $4,000,000. Several amendments to the constitution were adopted, to go into effect Dec. 1, among them a provision, that hereafter no person aged over 50 can become a beneficiary member of the order, and that each member, as soon as initiated, becomes a contributor to the benefit fund. There were eighteen assessments called during the year ending June 30, 1886, and twenty-one during the year ending June 30, 1887. The average death-rate was 1,074. Following, was the visible supply of grain, as compiled by the New York Produce Exchange: Wheat, 31,998,593 bushels; decrease, 771,418 bushels. Corn, 6,103,111 bushels; decrease, 699,628 bushels. Oats, 4,437,001 bushels; increase, 717,170 bushels. Rye, 300,586 bushels; decrease, 848 bushels. Barley, 153,186 bushels; increase, 22,585 bushels. The English steamship Madrid, which sailed from Philadelphia May 25, for London via Bull River, S. C., where she loaded a cargo of phosphate rock, has been given up for lost, with all on board. She was commanded by Captain Mathew Carson, who had with him a crew of twenty-five men. The steamer and cargo were valued at $150,000. FOREIGN. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain made a speech at Birmingham, in which he criticised the action of the British Government. There is a conflict of opinion as to the probable effect of proclaiming the League. The Prince of Wales has been made an honorary Admiral of the fleet by the Queen, and Prince Louis, of Battenberg, has been appointed to the command of the Dreadnaught. The ladies of the Royal School of Art have presented her Majesty with an address and a beautifully embroidered quilt, A demonstration to protest against what was described as the jubilee coercion bill was held in Manchester, in which it was announced that the Irish members would give the Government every chance to imprison them. Russia, in a circular to the powers, announces that it can not recognize the validity of Prince Ferdinand's election to the throne of Bulgaria. The circular expresses the hope that the Bulgarian people will not assent to a flagrant violation of the Berlin treaty. The Moscow Gazette says the attitude of the government gives great satis- : faction to the Russian people. Prince | Ferdinand disclaims any intention of asI serting Bulgarian independence or of denyi ing the suzerainty of the Porte, and insists ! fl at bis proclamation has been misini terpreted. T. W. Russell, M. P., who abandoned I the Liberal-Unionists on account of the I proclamation of the Irish League, declares i that the government has simply turned ! Ulster over to Parnell, and “sacrificed loyal : tenants to a handful of landlords deserving !of nobody's consideration.” The London ( Standard, Tory organ, is jubilant over l Air. Chamberlain’s announcement at BirI mingham of his continued adherence to the Unionist cause. MARKET REPORTS.

Work That Doesn’t Pay. If a man is a real man it is safe • a woman to continue earning wagos after slio is married, but I think that tlioro are hundreds of men to-day, yes, thousands, who have been ruined because they were not compelled to support their wives. If a man who earns small wages marries a woma i capable of earning as much as himself, there aro nine chances out of ten that he will develop extravagant habits bocause of the added ncome of his wife. If they could agree and hold to the decision that they should live on tho hu^bhnd’s income and let tho earnings of the wife accumulate as capital for a i business in which they both could engage it would be wall; but their earnings wou’d probably bo largely dissipated in persona! adornment, tho passion for which, especially among the middle classes, ra tho bane of the American people. There is one class of women wageearners to whom I have given much attention who sutler considerably through their own ignorance. 1 refer to tho married women who work in factories, or at home, making underclothing and other articles, and who supplement their husband’s wages in order to cover their own deficient knowledge of housekeeping. Such women were wage-earners before they were married, and never had an opportunity to learn how to manage a house, so that after marriage they have to e .rn money to supply their want of knowledge, not only of cooking, but of sewing. Such women buy readymade clothes for themselves and their children, which, of course, are not so durable as could be had for the same money if they made them themselves. Not knowing howto economize in cooking they spend more money in that way than they should. Out of 300 women wage-earners I visited in tenement houses only five claimed that they were able to make bread, and only one really did make it. Only two were able to cut and make garments for themselves and their children. I think that these women are all conscious of , their deficiencies, but they do not know how to overcome them. They have some spare time, but they waste it. Their cooking is of the most primitive and unwholsome description, and their meals are supplemented with beer, which is looked upon as just as much an article of diet as bread.— New York Epoch. Run by Halt' a Run. Billy Holbert, the catcher of the Metropolitans, has quite a reputation for telling stories, and relates them in away that is inimitable. This is his latest: “It was in 1872. I was umpire in a game between tho Muds and Snappers at Hickoryville, on the Ilog River, in Arkansaw. The Muds and Snappers and Softbacks used to play in Spring County and had a regular league. You see, it was the ninth inning. Tip McGinnegan came to tho bat with two out, ami the score 2 to 2. Well, ho got an out curve, and, my friends, believe me, he hit so luird that ho broke the ball in two pieces. One half went over the fence and landed in Hog River, and tho other half went over Miko McGinty’s head into left field.” “Whew!" “Yes, it was a dandy. Woll, Tip started to run around, but fell down at second base and broke L s leg.” "Well!” “Broke it square, lie laid there till the boys tore a plank oil tho fence and splinted up his Peg. Thon ho got up and hobbled around to third and in to home. ” “Great Svott!’ “Just then McGinty threw in tho half of the ball that he had found in tho field and McGinnegan was touched at tho plate.” “What did you do?” “Nothing. I declared him not out and gave him half a run. Tho Snappers won the game by 2 I to 2.” “But how’s that?” “Why, they only got one-half tho ball on him. Wasn't the other half a homo run?” — Cl< veland Plain Dealer. Mild, soothing, and healing is Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Homely. What the Gun Was Good For. “Yes, gentlemen,” said one of the few yet unboycotted liars of the Bohemian Club, as he finished a snipe-shoot-ing story; “that was the most remarkable gun I ever saw. Wouldn’t take a thousand dollars for it.” “It’s nothing to a gun I used to own,” said an ex-champion prevaricator, waking up just then. “It was simply impossible for a bird to get away away from that gun. It made the closest and most regular pattern you e\ er saw’. I traded it for a fifty-acre lot.” “To Bogardus, ch?” said the other finished equivocator, sarcastically. “No, to Jimpson, the big wholesale druggist. He used it to shoot holes in porous plasters —fifty at a clip.” And then nothing could be heard except the scratching of the other man’s pen as he wrote out his resignation.— The JUasp.

Painless Regulation. It is no longer a question of doubt—although the contrary was once believed—that, medicines which produce violent effects are unsuited to other than desperate emergencies. In other words, that super-potent reinedios are calculated to weaken and injure the system rather than reform its Irregularities. Among medicines of debilitating effect are cathartics and oholagogues which copiously and abruptly evacuate tho bowels. Because it doos not do this, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is preferable to the drenching class of purgatives. Painless in its effects, it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic constipation. It relieves by invigorating tho intestines, and enables, not forces, them to perform tho duty imposed upon them by nature. Promoting tho secretion of bilo in normal quantities by its healthfully stimulatj iug effect upon the liver, it is eminently conducive to de’i stion, and contributes in no small degree to keep the bowels regular. Why should tho letter “d” always bo introduced into a family? Because it makes “kin” kind. “Consumption Can Bo Cured.” Dr. J. 8. Combs, Owensville, Ohio, says: “I have given Scott’s Emulsion of Cod L ver Oil with Hypophosphites to four pationts with better results than seemed possible with any remedy.
