Hotel. Mr. Proskauer has just returned to thls country, and is in the city for the purpose of settling his affairs with the department of state. Yesterday morn" ing he was at the department and had an interview with several of the offi cials. Mr. Proskauer says that our present minister to Venezuela, Hon. Francis B. Loomis, Is very highly regarded there, as the abliest representative the United States has ejer had in that country. His distinguished presence, dignified bearing and kindliness of heart have won him universal respect, while his tact In dealiug with the gov ernment and people of the country to which he is accredited mark him as a diplomat of high ability. W. W. Russell, the secretary of leg ation, says Mr. Proskauer, is a grad uate of Annapolis Naval Academy, but forsake the navy for the career of a diplomat. He also is a man of marked ability. He is beloved by all Americans and foreigners, and with out question is one of the favorites in the diplomatic circle. Mr. Russell speaks Spanish like a native, which renders him more valuable to this government, and also more 'useful in the country he represents. With such men as Loomis, and Russell, says Mr. Proskauer, to look after the Interests of the United States In South America, there is no danger that our interests. will not be thoroughly protected and looked after. Mr. Proskauer will remain in Wash ington for several days before return ing to his hornet at Richmond. His own record as consul at Puerto Cabel lo is an excellent one, and gave entire satisfaction to the 6tate department officials. Vice-Cons ul-General Hanauer, has written the department of state from Frankfort, that there are no factories "In Germany where cheap furniture is produced; it is made in small quanti ties at the workshops of individual joiners, who are supplied by wood working establishments with the differ ent parts in an unfinished state. These joiners work at a very cheap rate. It may pay American manufacturers to export high-class articles of wooden furniture to Germany, provided these are tasteful In design, and superior in finish to thosemado in Germany. They should be of superior workmanship and solidity, and, if anything some what cheaper in price than similar articles of German make. It must be taken Into account that such American furniture will have its original cost price increased by about 20 per ont. of the selling valuation, owing to the cost of packing, freight, insurance and the German import duties. The usual terms for selling furniture in Germany are three months' credit; if payment is made on delivery of goods, a discount of three per cent. Is customary. Frank fort is a large market for the sale of furniture, and many houses are en gaged In this line. Representative Wilson, of South Carolina, Is In the city, stopping at the Shoreham Hotel. Mr. Wilson says that In his opinion the state will send a solid Bryan delegation to the na tional convention. Congressman Wil son is much pleased with the prospect of the election of Col.

The ex penditure by the national government of $250,000 for the removal of obstrue tions in the Congaree River, so as to allow navigation from Columbia to the Atlantic Ocean uninterrupted, will be of great importance to the state, and to the south, and will make of Columbia a port of great Importance, trlvlner to it the benefit of water rates in the transportation of goods by rail There is a rumor afloat that Judge Simonton may shortly retire, and Senator McLaurln,of South Carolina, may be appointed to the judgeship. At the white house it was stated yes terday that there Is no truth In this report Senator McLaurin has not been offered the position of judge. It Is true Judee Simonton will in a few weeks be entitled to retire from the bench, if he desires, but there is no reason to believe at present that he will avail himself of this privilege for several years to come.

The rabid animal was tied in the yard and had wound itself around a bush. Mrs. Simmons went out to relieve the dog from its confine ment when it made a leap at her and bit a terrible place on her arm. The dog was not suspected to be mad but a madstone was sent for and applied, out alas,' the dog had made a deathly leap. She attended preaching at Piney Grove on the first. Sunday in this month, but on returning homelier arm began to pain. It was hoped that she would not go mad as several days had elapsed since she was bitten by the rabid animal, several doctors were sent for but they would not attend. She constantly grew worse. She slob bered, bit her lips and was terribly Btrong. She was given a stick to bite. Crowds of people flocked in to see the suffering woman a horrible sight to look upon. The thought or sight of water or draft of air would cause vio lent convulsions. She suffered parox isms of excruciating pain. She said said she felt like she could eat her friends and wanted to go to the woods. She was in a contortion of agony. After five days of unalterable suffer ing an angel came and sounded the signal of death. She gave two fearful screams and then all was over. Alas, her work is done, her sorrow and sighing is over. We extend sympathy to the bereaved family. wniie in ner ngnc miaa sne ex pressed bright hopes for the future and said she was willing to die. Freight Handlers Strike.
