She is widelv known as an intellectual and gifted woman, of undoubted courage and quite competent to take care of her self in anything likean equal mental or physical encounter. I he friend of Stanley. Du Chaillu. Watd and other African travellers. she; will start upon her journey well equipped with information of the country in which her researches and observations are to be made. She will) start after reaching Africa, from Moinbassa and proceed to Killiman jaro. Besides her own white female attendants she will be accompanied by about fifty picked and trustwor thy natives. Her object, as she said in ai recent interview, is not that of a missionary or a philanthropist, as hasjbeen erroneously stated, and she, uaa uu gcuKrapuiuai or commercial purpose, "l go," she said, "upon my own responsibility, and for my own purposes, one of which is that I want information for finishing a book I have had in hand1 for some time." Another of her objects is to "study the natives, especially the women and children, while they are still in their primitive state." Mrs. Sheldon win have, as a part of her equipment, a complete photo graphic outfit, with which she will make views of ; what' she considers interesting and use them in illustrat ing her book. Among her other studies she will give some attention to the constellations, planets and stars, and to, aid her in this pursuit she has received some valuable hints from Mrs. Richard Proctor. ner metnoa ot travel will be in teresting. . A chair is being made for her, which, as she describes it, is "quite a wonderful structure," and iq j which she will be carried by twelve of the natives. The chair is "wonderfully light, and so ingeni ously made that her attendant and Lherself can sleep in it at night." Mrs. Sheldon will go armed with two excellent revolvers, made espe cially for her, and with which she will defend herself if necessary. Speaking of how she will travel, Mrs. Sheldon says : "I am not going, mind you, as either a buccaneer or a harlequin. , I am simply going as a woman who has common sense. and who thinks the journey, can be made in a womanly way, and with out indulging in any violent eccen tricities." , ' Everybody in this country and in ail countries will wish this courage ous woman the success which her enterprise deserves.

Texas Siftiugs One of those chronic dead : beats who habitually infest railway and street cars boarded a New York sur face car and proceeded to work his little game. It was by no means a .new one and the conductor immedi ately seized upon it, quietly collect ing his fare in the shape of a nickel and for several blocks nothing was said. Then the fraud shivered the silence with: '.'Am i going to have any change for that dollar 1 gave you ? !"You didn't give me no dollar," re plied the conductor, scowling darkly !"Yes, but I did, and if you don t pass me over the 95 cents I'll report you. "JJut you only gave me a nickel. "I say I gave you a dollar, and I want some change, and the man stood upon the platform defiantly. The passengers became interested, and the conductor shifted his posi lion. ' . ' !'. "You are riding along all right enough now, "ain't you?" inquired the railroad Jehu. "Yes, I suppose I am. "Well." said the conductor, sud denly removing his fist from the vicinity of the beat s nose and shoot mg him off the car, "now you ain't, you see". Am t that change enough for you?; .

March 10. The blizzard in the South of England continues, though the weather in London is milder. The railroads of Kent attd Sussex are com pletely blockaded, and the neighboring country is deep with snow. The hurri cane which accompanied the snow storm piled snow drifts on all sides, stopping traffic on railwav lines and countrv roads. Trains full of passengers in the midlands were snowed up last nieht and Ihe passengers were not rescued until this morning. The rescued people suf- ierea terribly from cold during the night, owing to the cars not being" neaiea. A train on the North Kent Railroad bound for this city was snowed up in a cutting last night and still remains in the dnft. A number of engines have been sent to j their relief, but they have been unable as yet to move the block aded train. The Sheeraess mail car cannot be found. It has been lost somewhere along the line between this city and Sheerness. A search party sent but after the missing mail car rescued the engineer of the lost engine. He was found half frozen in a snow drift. ' . 1 wo clergymen were snowed up in a carriage on the Favorsham road last night, and were rescued with difficulty.. Reoorts from the provinces show that the blizzard prevailed from St. George's ,Channe,l to the North Sea. une oi the ettects ot the severe storm has been the stoppage of the South Wales Iron Works. All road traffic is stopped and trains there are delayed. In aomersetsnire, uorsetshire, Hampshire and Gloucestershire therejare snow drifts everywhere, many .feet deep, rendering neia work impossible. In these counties man service has been completely stooped. and farmers suffer immense loss among cattle and sheep. ' 1 aken altogether this storm has been unequalled' in severity for a decade, not excepting the terrible weather during the latter part of 180. ; The passenger train which left Chariner Cross Railroad station at midnight for Folkestone was caught in a laree snow! drift outside of Folkestone. Passengers were not rescued until 8 o'clock this morning, when many of them were seriously ill and half frozen. In addition to the damage done by the storm itself, the Thames has com menced to rise in a dangerously rapid manner and already inundates theiow- lying districts from Richmond down. The green grocers of this city and elsewhere are suffering from a dearth of vegetables. All the wagons coming in from the country have been snowed up along the roads. Work about the various docks in and about London has been partially suspended owing to the mass of snow accumulated along the docks and ships. In bouth Devonshire the snow storm continues its violence as this dispatch is sent (2.30 p. m.) Railroads are blocked and the mail train bound from South ampton for London is snowed up at an unknown spot. lowns on the Channel Islands have been cut off by snow from all communi cation with each other. At Lyda, a sea port town of Kent, while the coast guard life-boat was going to the rescue of the crew of an endangered vessel, the life boat capsized and several of its occu- pasrts were drowned. Near Hastings, oussex county, live fishing smacks were wrecked, and three fishermen were drowned. The mail boat from Dover reached Calais in safety, but in a terribly bat tered condition and after being eighteen hours adrift in the channel. Her lady passengers were half dead with seasick ness and tear when the boat finally made Calais. London, March 10. Later. Snowed- up trains continue to be reported, and in every case severe hardships to pas sengers resulted from the lack of means of heating ears. Some passengers are missing, and the explanation advanced is that they left the trains to seek shel ter elsewhere, and perhaps lost their lives in snowdrifts. Passengers bound for London from the continent have been forced to stop at Sheerness, trains being unable to proceed further on ac count of the snow. Traffic on the Great' Western railroad is completely blocked, and trains of that road are snowed-up at different points. The sea wall supporting the ureat Western RaLroad's lines between Daw lish and Exeter, has been breached by the heavy pounding from the sea. Information trim Carditl this atter- noon- is to the enect that the storm rages in that neighborhood with una bated fury and severity. A dispatch Irom Dover this arternoon states that the Admiralty pier at that place has been so battered by the waves that huge stones weighing ten tons each have been displaced, ana , diocks oi iron weighing two tons each have been car ried away by the violence of the waters.

A special to the Appeal Avalanche irom Okolona, Miss., says : Reports just .received show that great damage has been done throughout the country by the floods Saturday and Sunday.

The Illinois Central Railroad is sending fast trains over the Vicksburg & Merjdian. and the Mobile & Ohio rOads via Jack son, Miss.

A. with the Democrats in Joint Assembly Wild Seenes Follow Announcement of . the Vote. . . j ... ...' j By Telegraph to the Morning Star. - I Springfield, March 11. It appeared to be a foregone conclusion this morn-j ing that Gen. John M. Palmer would be elected U.' S. Senator to-day by the solid 101 Democratic votes of the Joint Assembly, assisted by those of two of the F. M. B. A. men Moore and Cock rell. The Republicans were not ready to go down without a struggle. Tbey held a caucus to see if they could hot at least kill off the Democratic candidate. To that end the steering committeeras empowered to handle the matter as it might think best. That committee held a consultation and, at its conclusion, sent 'or Representative Moore, one of the F. M. B. A. men, and offered him the solid Republican vote of 100 if he and his two conferees Cockrell and Taube neck would join them. This offer was considered good politics, in any event. If accepted it would defeat Palmer, and put the F. M.3; A.'s under decided ob ligations to the Republicans. If reject ed it would put the farmers in the anomalous position of refusing tp help elect a farmer.; It was a tempting lure, but Moore did not lose his head. He said: "I regret to be obliged to disap point you, gentlemen, but your offer comes too late. After waiting- eight weeks in vain for Republican sup port, Mr. Cockrell and myself have decided to give our votes ,to General Palmer, and we have affixed our signatures to the ad dress to that effect. I appreciate your kindness and I appreciate, that a great majority of your party has always been sincere; but honor now points to but one line to cast my vote to-day for John M. Palmer, in accordance with my pledge. I thank you for the honor which you extend and assure you of toy best wishes for you all." The steering committee in .discussing the situation finally decided to give their vote to Sen ator Fuller, chairman of the steering committee, in recognition of his servi ces as leader. A few minutes before the meeting of Che Joint Assembly the Republicans joined in' the chorus of "Auld Lang Syne." Amid great, applause the Dem ocrats also struck up a medley, but of a rather more cheerful nature. In! the meantime every available inch of ipace in the chamber open to the public had been occupied by a throng intensely eager to witness the closing scene in this memorable contest. The Republican steering committee ordered their members not to answer preliminary roll calls. Senator Evans, however, disregarded the committee's Injunction, and answered "here" when his name was called. On the roll call of the House both Cockrell and Moore answered "here," and were loudly', ap plauded by the Democrats and visitors in the galleries. On Taubeneck's failure to answer to his name, there was a slight ripple of applause on the Republican side, which was quickly suppressed j by the steering committee. ' "Twenty-five Senators and seventy nine members of the House having answered to their names," said the Speaker, "it is now in order to take an other vote for U. S. Senator." When Cockrell 's name was called, he rose to his feet and said: "Mr. Speaker"! "No speeches! no speeches!" "I object! vote! vote!" shouted the Republicans; in unison. Pandemonium reigned for a minute, but the Republicans still stoutly objected to Cockrell explaining his vote. "If you will keep your mouths silent for a minute, I will vote," said Cockrell. "No speech! No speech!" "I-vote for John M. Palmer," said Cockrell. j For a few minutes the Democratic shouts and cheers that reverberated through the capitol were deafening. After a few minutes the were renewed, and it was two minutes before order couid be restored.; The Republicans remained silent as the call proceeded. Moore's name was called. That gentle man arose deliberately and in a perfectly calm voice said: "John M. Palmer." Again Democratic enthusiasm found vent in prolonged cheers, and hats and papers were thrown wildly in the air. When the name of Morris, colored Republican, was called, he voted for Cicero J. Lindley. The programme now became for all the Republicans to vote for Lindley, it having been found impossible for Fuller or any other man to receive the full Republicanj-vote. Representative Taubeneck, wheh his name was cilled, voted for A. J. Streeter, the nominee of the F. M. B. A., and dropping to his seat, burst into tears. His sincere sorrow no one doubted, and cheer after cheer from the Republican side rewarded his loyalty to his party nominee. j Verification of the roll showed every Republican voting for Lindley; every Democrat for Palmer; Moore and (Cock rell for Palmer, and Taubeneck for Streeter. "On the 154th ballot," said the Speak er, "the whole number of votes cast is 204, of which John M." Palmer has re ceived 103 votes Dem. applause"; A. J. Streeter 1 vote, and C. . Lindley 100 votes, and I hereby declare John M. Palmer duly elected U. S. Senator to represent the State of Illinois in Con gress ot the United States for the term of six years." . Deafening applause from the Demo cratic side and the galleries greeted this announcement. Democratic represen tatives cheered themselves hoarse and mounting their desks threw hats and papers and baskets in the air. Several members blew horns. I A joint committee was appointed! 9o notify Palmer of his election. He was conducted into the' chamber by the committee, appeared by the side of 'the Speaker and was greeted with great plause. Speaker Craft introducgd him he spoke as follows ; Gentlemen of the Z7th General Assembly: You ought scarcely to expect me to speak at this time. I feel more like say ing: 'Aint I glad to get out of the wild erness !' I thank you one hundred and one members for vindicating the rights of the people. By a plurality of votes was expressed the desire of the people to select me Senator and my election is historical. You men who have labored so long to elect your independent candi date, also deserve my thanks. My Re-v publican friends, I thank you, too-4-you in this contest represented the1 old method of electing Senators. I thank you that the contest has been free from personalities. Applause. ' The occa sion does not require a long speech. The Joint Assembly then adjourned sine die. STAR OFFICE, March 5.

There was general desire to sell wheat at the open ing, and a loudly expressed wish to get some corn. Wheae traders changed their minds in a short time, and many times in the course of the day's pro ceedings; but those who wanted corn were so ill-supplied that their plaints became louder and louder until alter bidding up to 62c for May delivery, a greater number were satisfied for the time. Wheat opened c lower and closed c lower than yesterday's latest trading prices. . Corn started with buyers but no sel lers, at the last-quoted prices Of the day before, and closed at an advance of 2c. The government report on the amount of this cereal still in farmer's hands. issued after the close of trading yester day afternoon had much to do with the course of prices. . i here was a sharp bulge in oats that carried the price up to 53Jc for May delivery, February scoring an advance of 1 Jc on higher prices, previously at tained. The market was active and ex cited, with good buying by shorts and comparatively few sellers. j The great strength in the corn mar ket created a demand for hog products which could only be satisfied at a con siderable advance in prices, and that occurred . in the course of the day.

During the summer of 1889 my eighteen months' old infant was so afflicted with eruptiors that ordinary domestic remedies failed to give any relief. On his hips would often appear the seeming track of a little wire-like worm, and on other parts of his body bad sores came and remained till I procured the Cuticura Remedies. For some time I used the soao aad salve without a blood medicine, but they did not do so well as when all were used together. It has now been nearly a year since the eruption was healed, and I .very mucn reared it would return with the warm breather of this year, but the summer is passed and not one sore has appeared on him. .

Two Battalions of the National Guard at Washington, D.. C, Ordered to Sis By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, March 11. Asa result of the failure of Congress to make the necessary appropriations for armory rents, Gen. Ord way, commandms officer, has issued an order disbanding the Sev enth and Eighth (colored) battalions of the District National Guard. The order has caused considerable comment among those interested in" colored troops, and" one officer, who has just resigned his commission, said the question is, will- the Secretary of War or the President permit this "outrage." The negro bat talions, he said, were among the first to respond to the call for organizing the militia, and are both old organizations To disband them will be equivalent to saying that in the District of Columbia negro militia will not be tolerated, though colored people comprise one third of the population and are to a large extent tax-payers. Gen. Ordway, in speaking ot the matter, explained that the battalions mustered out have no reg imental organization, and could, there fore, be spared without in any way dis turbing the regiment. It is doubtful whether their large crop will clear thg Southern people more money than a small one. ' Prices, consequent upon such a great production, have reached a low point. Still it is an evidence of what the Southern people can do in the way of raising cotton, and it is not worth while for India and Ejgypt to think of supplanting the South.

The value of baking powder consists in the fact that the proportion of alkali and acid is exact, and there is no danger of having yellow biscuits from an excess of soda, or heavy ones irbm an excess of acid. It is probable that many of the powders are adulterated, some with in-i iuriOns substances, and others i with harmless additions to increase tne duik and consequently the profits. In our own family we have excellent - results from the use of the Royal Baking Pow der. We have no reason to think that it contains anv harmless ingredient. Those who object to the use of baking powder because ot adulteration must needs be very sure of the purity of the soda and cream of tartar they use in nlace of the powder. N. Y. Christian Union.
