The St. Paul (Minn.) ! Chamber
of Commerce has passed a resolution
for a committee of twenty to confer

Matthias B JBch,a Chicago saloon

The Philadelphia Ledger of Tues
day says: "George W. Tryon, Jr.,
whose death occurred on Sunday af
ternoon, was, since the death of Mr.
Lea, the most prominent concholo
gist in this country, if not in the
world, and his loss will be severely
felt, not merely in the city, but where
ever natural history is studied."
Ex-Gov. J. Proctor K&ott thus
outlines a bill which he wishes the
Kentucky Legislature to pass: I
want a bill that will require all roads
running passenger trains to have at
tached to each passenger train an
open flat car, with seats securely fas
tened, so that ladies with' sealskin
cloaks can get fresh air enough with
out giving all the old ladies and gen
tlemen on the train the pneumonia.
A colored dude chanced to be
among the seated passengers in a
Washington horse car. A young
I woman of his own color entered, and
he immediately rose and offered her
his seat. She gracefully demurred,
and said: "I do not like to deprive
you, sir, of your seat." "Oh, no de
pravity at all, miss," was his reply;
"no depravity at all; I prefer to
stand."
"'. Says the Arizona Howler : "The
bandy-legged dude from Boston who
keeps the Ripanorter going while its
measly old editor is sobering up pro
fesses to be afraid of us, and passes
our office on a run. The little fellow
needn't be afraid. Brought up as we
have been, in the stern old school of
journalism, whose rule was to take
a man of your size,' we are incapable
of warring on a tenderfoot dude. Ta
ta, little creature, you are safe under
the shield of the Howler contempt.
If prophecies and sighs from
every fashionable quarter do not
prove deceptive, puffs, full drapings,
all styles of bouffancy will reach the
find of their career by the -close of
the spring season. Even though the
tournure is preserved for the present,
in the form of steel springs or cush
ions, the pouiF is ereatlv decreased
In size. Most of the imported gowns
lire simply pleated full at the back
land not draped at all, though still
raised by the simple tournure, which
will not be abandoned.
-The real eatate men of Knoxville,
Term-, havs inaugurated a mammoth
advertising scheme for Knoxville and
East Tennessee. Six men have been
Bent to all the prominent cities of
the Northwest with thousands of cir
culars and pamphlets describing the
advantaged of Knoxville's; climate
and resources. These circulars will
be distributed broadcast over those
Sections of the country, and no doubt
with great benefit to Knoxville. This
is an exhibition of enterprise which
inay be imitated with profit by other
Southern cities. -
7 It is told that a lively drummer
for a Boston wholesale clothing
house, on his way to Burlington, Yt,
for orders, was stopped near the alti-
tudinouB village of Ludlow, highest
point on the Central Vermont Kail
road, by the snow blockade, and
found his way to a farmhouse, where
he made himself so welcome that he
Was urged to prolong his visit even 1
after the snow 'embargo was raised.
He wrote to the firm and was given
permission to stay out a week of his
vacation, and in the spring he expects
to be married to one of his Vermont
host's fair daughters.'
I believe with Prof. Newman,
that the true farmer should, as far as
possible, produce everything needed
for the support and comfort of the
family. He ought to make his home
comfortable and pleasant with trees,
grass and flowers around it J then all
the fruit and vegetables that could be
grown in his c'imate, with poultry,
eggs, meat, not simply bacon, but
veal, mutton and beef. Mutton well
grown and properly dressed is both
Jialatable and healthy, and if the
amily be too small to consume the
whole carcass, a system of exchange
between neighbors might easily be
inaugurated by which the four quar
ters could be disposed of. In some
sections mutton can be produced
much cheaper than pork. A friend
pf mine is a very successful farmer;
he raises all these,' and thinks his
business about the best in the world.
He is a man who always has money to
Eay his taxes, never has any store
ills or interest to meet, and seldom
has any fault to find with the markets,
because, having the best to sell, he
always gets the highest price. This
man was showing me his well-kent
garden, well-filled cellar and fine hogs,
poultry, sheep, and cows, when I re
marked that he must have a surplus

NEWS BY WIRE.
Washington, Fob. 8 Sesate. -The
resolution offered some days since by
Mr. Frye instructing the committee
on foreign relations to prepare a
statement showing the political or
ganization of the Dominion of Caaada
and of the several Provinces of which
it is composed, and the geographical
relations sustained by them to the
United States and various other mat
ters, was taken up and adopted.
The bill was passed appropriating
twelve hundred thousand, dollar) for
a public building in Kansas city. ! .
The bill for the relief of importers
of animals for breeding purposes in
certain cases was taken up and
passed. It directs the secretary
of the treasury to remit all duties
upon importations of animals for
breeding purposes whether imported
for the importer's own use or for sale,
and provides that the fact of such
importation shall be sufficient defence
in any pending action.
Mr. Riddleberger took the floor
and objected to the considera
tion of any matter , to
which objection could be made
during the time assignod for morn
ing business until ho could have
action on the resolution offered by
him some weeks smc.3 to have the
British extradition treaty considered
in open session. After he had been
speaking for ten or fifteen minutes
he was ruled out of order and ; di
rected to take his seat.
On motion of Mr. Butler, the bill
authorizing the Secretary of War
to transfer to the trustees of the Por
ter Academy certain property in the
city of Charleston, S C, was taken
from the calendar and passed.
The Senate then at 2.10 took up
unfinished business, theBlair educa
tional bill.
Mr. Blair said hat so far as
he could judge of the condition of
the debate the bill might be disposed
of by the Senate, certainly if the ses
sion were slightly prolonged. In any
event he would ask the Senate to dis
pose of it tomorrow.
Mr. Call spoke in support of the
bill. If he could believe, he said,
that the evils foretold by the enemies
of the bill would follow its enactment
he would vote against it, although
he had voted twice for it. But he
did not so believe. As to the Con
stitutional objections made to it,L he
said that the quotations from Jeffer
son and Madison and the early fathers
of the Republio were nearly 100 years
old and that these interpretations had
been over-ridden, every one of them,
by the practice of the government
and with the acquiescene of the peo
ple. At the close of Mr. (Jail s remarks,
Mr. Blair asked to have a time fixed
for a vote on the bill and pending
amendments, and he suggested : 4
o'clock tomorrow. Mr. Plumb ob
jected to that. He would be glad to
have a time fixed, but far her in the
future. -He would have something to
say about the bill, but he was not
prepared with the otatistics which be
wanted to use. Anoiber Senator bad
informed him that he also wished to
speak. He suggested next Wednes
day at a o clock and Air. Ulair ac
cepted that suggestion and unani
mous consent was given to it. Mr
Harris moved to proceed to executive
business, but he offered to withdraw
the motion in order to have a vote on
Mr. Riddleberger's resolution,
provided it could be had without any
aiscussion.
Mr. Riddleberger declared that he
would make no conditions as to the
resolution or the trea'y and demand
ed the yeas and nays on the motion
to go into executive session.
The Senate then voted (43 to 9) to
proceed to executive business, Mr.
Riddleberger voting in the affirma
tive. I '
A dramatic though momentary
scene followed.
Mr. Riddleberger arose as the chair
announced the vote and attempted to
speak.
The chair directed as usual, "The
sergeant-at-arms will clear the galler
ies and close the doors.
The Senator from Virginia, who
has a bronchial affection which ren
ders it difficult for him to make him
self audible, pale with excitement,
said: "I beg pardon, sir. I arise to
move a reconsideration of the vote.
(Pause, during which the sergeant-at
arms was executing his office). "Have
I not the right, sir, to move a recon
sideration? I voted in the affirmative
for that purpose." (Further pause)
"I have the right and no Bergeant-at-
arms can restrain me from -the
closing of the doors shut off further
proceedings from the public ear. It
is understood that the Senator from
Virginia continued his remarks but
directed them against the substance
of the British treaty, and that he
consumed the time until 4.55, at
which hour the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE. : ,
In the morning hour he House re
sumed consideration of the bill mak
ing bills of lading conclusive evidence

The following is the text; That when

A ff n o aMn ATirViaf aTf atiIivI a hanntn
I am delighted to welcome again in
ivca im dvsuaw n sju mwuvuw
my log cabin home gtheNxws and Ob-sebveb.-
It is always a pleasant visi
tor. ,
It is a matter of . pride with the
people of North Carelina and partic
ularly the Democratic party that we
have a daily paper at the metropolis
that "has come to stay.
A party cannot well succeed with
out newspapers to keep the people
properly informed on all important
issues before the public.
My friend Mai. smith once said
"there was no use in publishing a pa
per for a party that could not read ,
So he duit. But we have a great Dem
ocratio party, composed of intelligent
and reading people who are panting
for information and must be supplied.
The Republicans can now read, since
. V
the Democratic goverment has hon
estly applied the school funds to ed
ucational purposes, and their leaders
recognize the importance of publish
ing as many papers is possible.
I see the political waters begin to
riffle somewhat in gubernatorial mat
ters, and it is indeed gratifying that the
Old North State has so many patriots
who are willing to fill the Executive
chair even with the . small salary at
tached to that office.
Clark, Alexander, Jarvis, Joe
Davis, Stedman and others not yet
brought out are worthy gentlemen
who would fill the: Executive chair
honorably and acceptably. With
either at the head and the Hon.
J. W. Cooper or' State Senator
Eiias for Lieutenant-Governor, there
would be such a shaking up of the
dry bones that victory would be as
sured.
This will be a campaign in which
all personal considerations and friend
ships must be subordinated to the
public good and the party must nomi
nate one who can be elected.
I am of the opinion that Jarvis is
our most available man to rUly all
Hection and interests and most likely
to lead us to victory. The people of
the west, with a proper canvass, will
rally to any ticket the convention
will be likely to put forth.
Many of your readers have been
through the red marble gap on the
Cherokee and Macon line. There is
the location of Topton, which is now
ihe camp of the convict force at work
on the Murphey division- The track
is now being laid from Jarrett's, the
present terminus of the road, to the
trap, four miles distant, and will be
comDleted in about ten davs. The
train has already penetrated Graham
county, adding one more to the list
of counties having railroad accommo
dations.
This is a wild, mountainous, but
healthy county. Out of the entire
convict force worked here, there has
been but one death since January,
1887. There has not been an escape
for over two years. T

The result is that Mrs. Coxe has not
only secured an absolute divorce, but
will receive a handadme alimony un
til she dies, the money being secured
by a first lien on Coxe s possessions,
which, d urine the course of the in
vestigation, were ascertained to be
worth half a million dollars. It had
been generally supposed that the

Murdered by Burglars.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 8. Amos J.
Snell, who is owner of the toll road
running through Jefferson, was found
murdered this morning at his resi
dence No. 425 Washington boulevard.
Snell was rated at 3,000,000 and
owned a large number of houses. He
bad the front basement of his house
fitted up as an office, with several large
safes, desks, etc. rlis office was en
tered last night by burglars, and
there is no doubt that he heard them
in his house, and taking his revolver
went to investigate. Hearing the in
truders at work he fired through the
door at them. They opened the door
and returned the fire and shot Snell
in the breast. Snell must then have
retreated and the burglars folio wed, as
Snell was found at the bead of the
basemeit stairs with a bullet behind
the ear.; The Snells family were
absent, except two servant girls and
two little grandchildren. V hat the

Richmond loses one of her chieftiest

ists.
A Dispatch reporter some years ago
interviewed a number of hackmen as
to what it was in Richmond that most
tourists first wished to see. The an
swer from nearly all was "Libby

Richmond has the finest monumen
tal pile of bronze and granite in the
world, it has the oldest American
capitol and the oldest State records
it has within her limits the graves of
Chief Justice Marshall, Monroe, Ty
ler, A. P. Hill, Stuart and Pickett; it
has the church where Patrick Henry
made his speech, "Give me liberty or
give me death ;" it has the house
where President Davis lived while he
waged one of the mightiest of modern
wars; it has a thousand other things
that ought to interest the man of
mind but the northern and western
tourist above all wished to see Libby

Hereafter they will not come to
Richmond they will go to Chicago

r tiic News apJ Observer.
Washington-. D. C , Feb. 7.
A measure which vitally affects
North Carolina interests is the bill
before the Committee on Mercantile
Marine and Fisheries to prevent
monbaden fishing within three miles
of the shore. Major McClammy, who
is watching the bill closely,says it will
destroy the menhaden industry in
.North Carolina should it become a
law. A number of fishermen repre
senting Northern fisheries were heard
by the committee Saturday. Their
statements were conflicting. Some
maintained that the menhaden de
stroyed tho food fish and therefore
ought to go. Others maintained ex
actly theopposite opinion, which, they
claimed, was basgpl upon long and
close observation of the menhaden's
habits., Another statement was that
the meinhaden was food fish for the
blue-fish and other fish, and that its
destruction was rapidly decreasing
the supply of these fish.
Maior ilcClammy is something of a
fisherman, and he says the menhaden
is like the house fly in Julv. To kill
a menhaden is only to increase the
Bupplyl He has had frequent talks dur
ing the past week with the Fish Com
missioner on the subject,and the Com
missioner, he says, is opposed to the
bill. Fishermen from Maine, Massa
chusetts and New York will appear
before the committee Wednesday in
opposition to the bill. Maj. McClam
my thicks there is very little chance
for the bill.
COTTON SEED OIL.
Another scheme, in which the State
is deeply interested, is the bill now
before the committee on Agriculture
to prevent the adulteration of lard.
At least that is the ostensible purpose
oi ine pui.
Cotton seed oil is now extensively
used in trie manufacture of hog s lard.
It is not an adulteration, because it
adds to the value of the lard and ma
terially lessens the price of it. Mai
McUIammy is a member of the agricul
. - i
tural committee and he is on the alert
to defeat the bill. He is daily re
ceiving letters from the State pro
testing against it. By the way, the
Cape Fear representative is making
usefu1, diligent and industrious
Congressman.
COCOOXS FROM NOBTH CAROLINA.
The Agricultural Department has
recently purchased a lot of cocoons
raised py Mj?s. O. W. Thompson, near
Goldsboro, paying the extraordinary
price of $1.05 per pound. The
vary highest price ever paid
is 1.15 per pound. Maj. McClammy
is trying to induce the department to
establish an agency at Goldsboro for
the purchasa of cocoons and the dis
semination of information about
their culture, with a view to encour
aging silk culture in the State. He
thinks the department will accede to
his wishes in the matter.

sugar planter in the United States
and is (he owner of the famous "Mag

over four thousand acres of the best
land under the sun. His income is
between $70,000 and $80,000. The
Louisiana Democrats ia the House
use Warmoth as a scarecrow to pre

They eay that his identification with

Charleston's Growth.
The Charleston (S. C.) Aews and
Courier publishes interesting figures
showing the rapid growth of that city
in population despite the earthquake
visitation and some other adverse cir
cumstances. It says half of the pop
ulation is now outside of the former
city limits. The value of property in
the northern half has nearly doubled
in five jears. What were recently
farms or market gardens are now be
ing divided into building lots. The
"country" has moved out of sight of
the church steeples. The sandy
lanes are straightening and harden
ing into paved roadways. Villages
are springing up on the old crabbing
grounds. Nearly a hundred ana
forty new buildings were erected in
this part of the city last year. "The
cause of all this growth," says the
News and Courier, "was the faith
and hope and courage of the people
with regard to Charleston's future,
and the same cause is still operative.
We may now begin to.- look forward
with confidence to the time when
what is the present northern boun
dary will again become the half-way
street- There is no clearly assigna
ble limit to the growth of this fair
city in the years to come, and the
signs that are about us are only an
earnest of the spirit that is within it
and that shall yet make it what it
ought to be."
Old Floial Revived.
Floral College has been bought and
paid for by the joint stock company
formed for that purpose some tin
ago. It is now in the hands of men
who we trust will put forth vigorous
energy in re-establishing a school at
that place that will be to our com-
m unity what "Old Floral" was in the
put. Max ton
Union.

MIXED SCHOOLS, f
CO EDUCATION OF THE BACE8 IN TTJE STATE
OF OEOBUIA.
A square issue appears to be made
between the State of Georgia -and the
Atlanta colored University on the
question of co-education of tb$ races.
The discussion sprang from the fact
bUAb una u uuibou ttuivv Cilllllxcii , IU
the main sons and daughters of the
professors at the Atlanta University,
were educated in the same rooms with
the colored children. The only ex
ception to this was the white child of
Mr. Kent, pastor of the Northern
Methodist church, who was educated
there. The Hon. Mr. Glenn intro
duced a bill making it a felony for
any teacher or professor tf teach
whites and blacks together in the
same school. The bill provoked dis
cussion North and South. The pro-
icssors oi tne Atlanta University open
ly declared that if the bill passed they
would persist in theii present course
and would accept punishment
and imprisonment, and emerge from
prison only to repeat the experiment
Upon reaching the Senate the bill
was considered deliberately and sent
to a committee. In the committee a
compromise was effected. The penal
enactments of the bill were with
drawn and it was simply provided
that the State would not donate
money to any institution' which
taught whites and blacks together.
This, it was thought, would cure the
trouble. The Atlanta University, in
which co education was progressing,
receives $8,000 per annum from the
State, the same amount as is given to
the btate University.
The compromise bill was tpassed
and signed by the (iovernor. Mr.
Humstead, the acting president of
the Atlanta University, -stated
promptly that he would surrender
the $8,000 annual income from the
State before he would agree! hot to
teacn wnites ana DiacKs togetner.
He insisted that he would not put
himself on record as decrying the co
education of the races, and that if the
State chose to withhold the -money
on this plea it would simply have to
do so. l
Governor Gordon iusisfed that he
would execute the law, and that un
less the faculty of the Atlanta Uni
versity agreed to abandon co-educa
tion of the races he would withhold
the $S,000 annual appropriation. Here
the issue was made. Mr. 'Bqjnstead
is now in the North, laying the case
before the philanthropists of that sec
tion and asking them to supply the
deficit that will be made by the with
drawing of the State money!. Pro
fessor Bumstead holds that large
sums of money were donated to the
University, on the ground that the
institution should stand against any
race discrimination of any sort whatever,-
and he feels bound to make
these pledges good by taking either
whites or blacks who may code to its
doors. He claims that he is having
excellent success in the North and
several important donations are re
ported, y
