He He would Also Extend the Free List Mat erlallv and Restore tbe Duty oil SugarHe Also Favors An Extra Session of Congress. Washington, Nov. 23. Mr. Catch ings, a leading member of the House Committee on Rules, is now in Washing ton. He is quoted in nn interview as expressing the belief tlnit the present Congress will do nothing to lessen the burdens of the incoming administration and that the new Congress will Ik: com pelled to take necessary steps to increase the revenues. He does not believe that a revision of the tariff can be successfully undertaken during the special session, but he docs hold that in e special session the new Congress might iopcrly repeal the McKinley act, thus restoring the duties of 1883. That would wipe out the sugar bounties, effecting a saving of $13,000,000 anuually, and, at the same time, bv restoring the sugar duties udd about $50,000,000 to the annual reve nues making the total increase of reve nues approximate $05,000,000. This increase, Catchings feels, would prevent any deficiency until after the next regular session and possibly for a longer period. Catchings would nlso pass tbe sepa rate tariff bills that were passed last session by the House only to remain un acted upon by the Senate, and he would also add lumber and salt to tbe free list. The reduced prices of the necessaries of lile secured by the repeal of the McKin ley bill would, according to bis reason ing, reconcile the people to the reimposi tion of tbe sugar duties. He tavors an early siiecial session of Congresa; thinks that Crisp will be re elected speaker without a protracted struggle, and believes that the pension roll could be revised with profit. Catchings says there is no danger ol wild cat moncv" in the passage of a bill to removethe tax on State banks' cir culation, and he favors that bill if States are obliged to insure these banks of issues. lie also favors the admission, as States, Arizona and New Mexico, and local government for Utah and Okla homa. So far as this Congress is con cerned be thought it would do no more than pass the regular annual appropri ation bills. THE LYCEUM. Tbe Old and New" by Colonel Cameron Last Eveulngr. In an address lasting an hour, Col. . U. Cameron entertained the members of the Lyceum society last evening with his impressions of "The OKI and the New; the Past and the Present." Col. Cam eron is peculiarly fitted to handle a sub ject of this nature iu a manner that is at once scholarly and interesting. As was aptly remarked by a member of the so ciety at the close of the address lucre is no man in the State better qualified for such a task. The address was warmly received by the audience. The details of Col. Cameron s address embraced such details of domestic life of the conveniences and comforts of present daily and nightly existence, of dress and fashions, of arts and sciences, of the transmission of the mails and the rates ot postage, of the modes of travel by land and water, ol the application of new inventions, of the familiar uses of scientific appliances to the facilities ol labor, comfort and human conveniences, as to present startling and unexpected contrasts between the ways of the present and those ol the past. Col. Cameron presented with emphasis the marvelous changes which bad, within bisday, mark ed the growth in territory and enlarge ment in population which bad signuliz- ed the progress of the United States. A population ot eighteen millions had in creased to sixty-five millions. A terri tory practically limited to the cis-Miss-issippi region, had spread itself to the L'acihc coast and added to our country perhaps its richest and most variously productive possessions. And in connection witu increase ol population and expan sion of territory was noted the corres pondent increase in thenumberofun Ung lish speaking people, signficant of the in fluence tbe Knclish language is destined to bold upon the future destinies of the human race. For a language, one hun dred years ago on tbe tongues ot only thirty millions ol people, is now the language of the laws, the business aud the familiar intercourse of one hundred and thirty millions. The lan guage ot the Uibie tor so many, it seems the chosen vehicle for tl.e diffusion of the Scriptures to the uttermost parts of tbe earth as the founder of the Faith destined it to go, before that fulfillment of Scripture in the end of all thiLgs comes to pass through tbe erroneous uud pre cipitate readings of Tottcn and others who do not appear to realize tbe mo mentous agency of the late-in-time dis covery of tbe New World seems destined to exert in the grand economy of tbe Gospel. "The world shall not pass away, until all these things be fulfilled." WILL TAKE A WALK. Another Fool Election Bet lo be raid soon. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23. Hon. Mel.

A PROHIBITIONISTS' TOWN IT 8EESIS TO BE GETTING VERY DEEP WATER. IN The First Year There were Quick Hales of Stock and a Bis Salary For Flak, But Now Stock Sells Slow and Money Is Called For. New York, Nov. 23. A lute edition ol the Herald says: An unpleasant alter native has been thrust upon some of the stockholders of the East Tennessee land company. The returns on their cash in vestments have not been what they hoped for. Now they are asked, in a letter issued by the company, to p.-spond "promptly and substantially" to a call for subscriptions for the "first lien pre fcrred" stock, or to expect the ap pointment of a receiver for the company within 50 days. The Eust Tennessee Land company was organized three years ago by lead ing prohibitionists with the object of fnundini? a town that should be forever free Irom liauor traffic. The capital of the company was saiuuu.uuu. me scheme was advertised in prohibition papers and $2,000,000 worth of stock was soon disposed oi. General Clinton B. Fisk. prohibition candidate for President in 1888, was the first president of the company. He re ceived a salary of $10,000 a year. The site chosen for the town was fifty miles west of KnoxyiHe and eighty miles north of Chattanooga. The town grew and prospered; the liquor traffic was barred by provisionsof the title deed. Today the population of the town is nearly 5,000 and growing. It has two banks and four newspapers. Cash dividends of six per cent, were paid on the stock the first year. Last year, however, the semi annual dividend was paid in stock. When the time came for the next semi annual dividend, in July last, nothing was paid. Instead it was tound that tnc company neenea more money. The third million dollars of the company's slock has not been sold. It is this which is now to be issued as "first lien prelcrred" stock. The Herald also says: "Mr. Wagnall, president of the company, said yesterday there was not the sliahtcst danger of the company going into the hands of a receiver. RECORDER'S COl'KT. Charles Mills Fined for His lolug;s Yesterday. Yesterday Charles Mills, colored, got on a Camp Patton car for a ride. Charles was the only passenger on the car, and was also very drunk. He demurred when asked for his fare by Conductor Moody, but finnllv paid it. The conduc tor resumed his stand on the platform, and shortly thereafter saw Mills draw his knife and start for the door. Moody shut the car door and kept Mills from assuulting him. 1 he would-be carver was locked up and in Recorder Miller's court this morning he was fined $1 1.50 for bis diversion. Cora Davidson, colored, drank some liquor yesterday and going to the house of a neighbor on Baptist Hill smashed a window pant. The woman was fined $2. One drunk paid $5, and the Recor der adjourned court until Thanksgiving. A WORTHY CASE. Who will Aid This Little Girl at the Hospital 7 There is a case at the Mission hos pital which offers opportunity for some one's benevolence. A little girl, blind for ten years, with a cataract in both eyes, has recently undergone a successful op eration in one eye, whereby the sight is restored. 1 he small sum required: tcr board at the hospital (she being from another county ) is exhausted, and sbe will be under the necessity ol returning to her home, only half cured, unless help is obtained. The medical attention costs her nothbg and the sum of $12 or $15 will be ample to pay all expenses while under treatment, and buy her a pair of glasses, which is absolutely nec essary. An investigation of this case at the hospital by those interested will sat isfy all of the worthiness of the case. W. N. C. DIRECTORS. Annual Sleetluit- Held Iu Axlie- vllle Today.

PiiiLADELrtiiA, Nov. 23. While Presi dent-elect Cleveland's postoffice address at present is Exmorc, Virginia, a small station on the Cape Charles peninsula reached by the Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad, his teal destination is believed to be Broadwater Island. This is known upon the coast survey and locally as Hog Island. It lies twenty miles north oi Cape Charles between Great Machipongo Island on the south and Little Machipongo on the north. Broadwater island is maintained as a Dtivntc hunting and fishing preserve by a cluo ot titty leading Fmladelpbians. It is reached by private steam yacht be longing to the Broadwater club, running down Pocomoke creek from Exmore landing, which is two miles distant from the village ot the sime name. The island is eight miles long with a magnificent beach on which the govern ment has established a light house and life-saving station.

CHINESE HIGH BLOWERS. They Wreck a Rival Laundry, It Is Believed. Warsaw, Ind., Nov. 23. For several years three Chinese have been running a laundry here. About a month ago, W. Davis, came here from Kentucky and started a steam laundry. He bad secured a good part of tbe city's trade. Within the last week two attempts have been made to bum Davis' building, Sus picion pointed to the Chinese and they were watched. Lasteveningoneof them was seen running toward the depot; he has not been seen since. A few moments later a terrible explosion was heard, caused by a large dynamite bomb being thrown into the building Davis used. The entire building was wrecked, valuable machinery smashed, and the sleeping room Davis usually occupied totally de molished. No doubt the intention was to kill Davis, but it happened that he was not in the building. Excitement is high here and everything points to the guilt of all three of the Chinese. Every effort is being made to lind the missing one, while those asso ciated with him are under close guard. TO HELP THE SOUTH. Aud We Badly Need Thousands of the Best Immigrants.
