THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1891. THE ROANOKE NEWS. 7 HURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 1891. NEWS OF THE WEEK. ITEMS PICKED TP FROM EVERYWHERE SINCE OCR LAST ISSUE. A citizen of Hart county, Ga., who is oyer 100 years old, has lived within five miles of his birthplace all of his life. According to expert ngures the per manent tramp population of the United States number G0.0O0. The Liverpool Journal of Commerce is informed that the engineering world will shortly be started by the appearance of a new engine that will revolutionize motive power. Chicago's saloons are open Sunday. The closing of the World's Fair on that day would greatly increase the saloonist's business. The lawless elements are not advocating an open fair; the principal pleas for it come from the law and order people. A company is being formed in Ohio to pipe Lake Erie water through central and southwestern Ohio to Cincinnati, taking in the most important cities and towDS along the route. The company is composed of prominent capitalists. The purpose is to supply the inland cities and towns with pure lake water. The point from which it is to be piped is Sandusky. Final preparations have been made and everything is now in readiness for the meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which will attract thousands of vistors to St. Louis during the six days it contin lies, of this month. An interesting pro gramme tor the meeting has been pre pared. V Every housekeeper who found it nee eessary during the past six weeks to add to her stock of glass fruit jars got excit d when she went to muke her purchases. Last year she could buy as many as sh wanted at 1 0 cents a dozen. iow her dealer wants to charge three times much. The Whitney Glass Works, of Glassboro, N. J., the largest fruit-jar works is America, ban full control of the market, and prices are being boomed as never before. The concern is credited with having already raked in nearly 1200,000 in profits. V Artificial frost prevention is now (ug gested as an outgrowth of Senator Far well's scheme for artificial raiu production Mr. L. C. KnifFen, of Chicago, has writ ten a letter to Secretary Rusk on the subject. His theory is that clouds of artificial mists prevent the radiation of the heat from the earth. He suggests that the machinery and tools used by Colonel DTyenfurth in causing rain be tested as a means for bringing the clouds closer to the earth and of creating a sort of fog, which will be a preventive against the ravages of frost. 'The best protection a young woman can have in this city," said a big police man on the Broadway, New York, squad yesterday, "is one of thoe little silver crosses that the King's Daughters wear. I've noticed that nowadays the profess ional mat-her will look first at the bosom of a woman's dress, and if that little cross is dangling from a button-hole he passes her by without eveo a stare. It's the same way on street can as on the street. The young woman who wears one of those badges has got the whole car load of men to take care of her and jump on the fellow that dares to annoy her. The cross is getting to be looked on with the same respect and deference as a nun's garb. As a safeguard it beats the average policeman all hollow." Ths Medina:. Paorrasia::. The attitude of the medical profession toward what is known as "patent medicines' is aot at all unreasonable. Thousands of these nostrums are offered to the public every year. Some of them are danger' ous, and most of them are futile. Swift's Specific (3. S. S ), we are glad to say, is not classed among these nostrums. It has overcome the wholesome prejudice! of physicians in all parts of the country, and some of the strongest testimonials in its behalf come from medical men who nave used in their practice, and who do not hesitate to endorse its wonderful re sulU. This is extremely gratifying, but by no means astonishing, for every claim that is put forward in behalf of S. S. S. is based on a series of actual experiments extended over n long period of time.
