Among the new. offices created by Congress, which has just adjourned, was an - industrial commission cf twelve members three representatives eaclT of agriculture, labor manufac tures and business, the salary of each of these commissions to be $5,000 per annum, and each? grcup to be provided with an attorney at a salary of $5,060. The duties of the sub commissions I are to investigate questions pertaining to their spe cialties and to recommend legisla- tion to Congress. There: does not appear any necessity for the appoint ment of such Commissioners', and the conclusion therefore, is that the act is a scheme to provide comfortable po sitions for friends and party workers of Congre ism'en. , : ; If Congressmen had given more time to legislation looking to.the re lief of the country instead of creating offices of this kind the public might have jless cause ;to grumble than now seems to bei the case.

In their report the oculists declare that the defective eyesight among the pupils is the. re sult of not placing ,the maps and blackboards in -the- proper light for them and that hereafter all pupils should be examined as to the condi tion of their eyes when they first en ter the schools that their seats may be properly adjusted.; The examina tion is to be repeated every year of all the pupils. , The matter of proper light in our schools is one which should not be overlooked, as there is no doubt that that a failure in this regard has a great deal to do with the bad eye sight of many of the school children who are compelled to wear glasses.- Norfolk Virginian. 1 KALTIMOKF, CHESAPEAKE & KICII MO.ND STliAMBOA'C CO.tlPAXY. ! tell at a glance the kind of weather we had on any day since 1800.

THEY MAY SLEEP IN CARS. Theghotel and cafe keepers of St Louis having refused to entertain any negro as a guest or customer, the question as to what shall be done with the colored delegates and alter nates to the Republican National Convention is puzzling the members of the National Committee. I By concert of action a combination has been formed by all the hotel, boarding house and cafe proprietors in the city, by which the negro is ex- eluded from their board and shelter, and up to yesterday it looked as though the "man and brother" woulcl have to eat in the market house and sleep in the rain, as the old saying goes. This, however, has been obiviated. by the New York McKinley League securing a special train of Wagner sleeping and dining cars,, which will arrive in St. Louis Sunday night , to be used by the colored folk .while in attendances the convention. It is, said that the action of the hotel and boarding-house people in this matter ' is causing no end of trouble. The fact fs the negro is not wanted in St. Louis as a guest, and but for the ac tion of the New York McKinley ' League the colored delegates and alternates would have to go hungry and unhoused. Norfolk Virginian, nth. Now the Question is how to get factories established in a town?' We will answer by co operation of its live citizens. No j matter how many ad vantages a town or city may have, the chances .are against outside capi tal coming to; it without its citizens help to bring it there. Capital is be ing invested in too many places in the South for the men who possess it to. have to hunt up a place to in vest it. When , the advantage of so many places are being kept before their eyes they naturally thipk that the towns which keep in the dark have nothing to recommend them. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local Applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is onlyjone .way to cure Deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When his tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its, normal condition, hearing will' be destroyed forever ; nine cases' out of ten are caused by catarrh, i which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Therefore get Hood's and ONLY HOOD'S. Owing to the continual complaint of the eyesight of many of the pupils in the public schools of the city of Baltimore, the school authorities a short while ago decided to employ a number of . oculists to examine into the. cause, and the result was that out of a total of -53,097 pupils it was Children Cry fot New SJetl Passenger and Freight Steamer Atlanta. Appreciating the liberal patronage extended to our York River Line for so nrany years, and realizing the im portance of being thoroughly equip ped for our new Chesapeake Bay Line between Baltimore, Old v Point Comfort and Norfolk, in connection with the lines of the Southern Rail way System for: all points South, this Company takes pleasure in announc ing the completion of its new steamer Atlanta, w'hich, with the magnificent and swift steamer Charlotte, will be placed on the Norfolk route. I The steamer Atlanta,; which has so aptly been termed the 'New Queen of the Bay," is a veritable floating palace. She was built by the -William Cramp & Sons Sbf' and Engine Building Company, of Philadelphia, at a cost of $250,000. Her dimen sions are : Length, 240 feet ; beam, 43 feet ; depth, to saloon dec.k.26 ft. The . hull is constructed of &teel of the best character known for shio building, and strictly acording to the rules of the American Ship Mas ters' Association, all material being subjected to the most rigorous test and inspection. . The steamer is propelled by an in verted Triple; Expansion Engine of the latest and most improved type, with cylinders 24, 38, and 62 inches in diameter, all having a stroke of 36 inches. Running at. 125 revolutions per j minutes, they indicate 2,250 horse-power, and drive the steamer at a speed'of eighteen miles an-hour. The boat lighted throughout by- electricity; the stem-head, stern light and side lights are electric, and she is proyided with a powerful electric search light. The ship is provided with steam steering gear, steam windlass, cap stans and cargo hoisting engines. No expense has been spared in making the passenger accommdations most complete. The dining room, which is handsomely finished in hard wood, and has seating capacity for seventy persons, is located ' on the main saloon deck, forward, thus in suring ample light , and ventilation, and enabling passengers . to command a view of the beauties of the Chesa peake Bay, while enjoying the meals for which this Company has always been deservedly famous. Another attractive feature of this steamer is the location of the kitchen which is on the upper deck, forward of the smoke stack, completely iso lated from the passenger accommo dations, so that the necessary heat and odor of the cooking is carried di rectly overboard, causing no annoy ance to the passengers. The' main saloon is handsomely decorated in an artistic manner, and is luxuriously furnished. The state rooms are large and comfortable, fit ted with steam heat, ' electric lights and call bells. . -- The social .hall is reached by a magnificently carved hardwood stair way Reading from the main saloon, and opens but on the promenade deck, where the passengers gather to admire the glories of the Chesapeake and to discuss 'the charms of this lat est addition to the fleet of this pro gressive Company. , .
