The Chair man of the House Appropriations Com mittee has made a statement of the appropriations of the three Congress es, as folloms: Fifty-first, $1,005,00, 100; Fifty-second, 1,027, 10 t.52T; Fifty third, fD0t33Sf691.' Mr. H:iyfes says: "The appropria tions mads by the Fifty-third Congress including permanent appropriations, shown reduction of :iO,075,8."G under the appropriations made by Ih- Fifty second Congress and $45,341,418 under those made by the Fifty-first Congress. The bills us they became laws appro priated fl;,4:JO,4yO lessthan the esti mate, $i.(?-VJtiHd less than as they pass ed the House."1 ilr. .Say res, making a comparison with last year, shows there i a net in crease of $."),377,323. The principal in creases are: Navy, $1,383,950; postof fice, $,3W,593; sundry civil bills, $12, 884,53; on .account of permanent ap propriations, $11,399,270. The princi pal decriMe are: Indian Bill, $1,085, C17; pensions, $14,200,000; river and harbors, no bill this session, $11,613, 180; deficiencies, $2,072,204. Discuing the appropriations, he says: "Notwithstanding the consider able reduction in the total appropria tions with the last session, under those of both preceding Congresses, it will be notice 1 that appropriations for de ficiencies are less than last sessi n, a result which is to the credit of the present Administration. Wasteful and extiavagant methods in adminis- tration have heretofore made large de ficieneiVs in animal appropriations to be provided for by Congress. The sum charged under permanent 'appro priations includes $3,771,590 to pay in terest on the public debt,'-' including Pacific railroads, and $47,258 to meet the requirements of the sinking fund." The present 'Congress has aut horized no contracts for river and harbor works, though it has had to provide nearly $2v), 000, 000 to meet contract- authorized by the Fifty-first and Fifty second Congresses. OF THROE riARRIED 5ISTERS ALL ARE NOW GRA55-W1DOWS. Mrs. W, X. Vanderbilt Gets an Absolute De ct5 From Her Millionaire Husband. N ew York, March. Judg Barrett has granted an absolute divorce to Mrs. Alva E, Vanderbilt from Wm. K. Vanderbilt. Society is agog, "and' the divorcv and Gould's wedding are fur ni?hiii two choice morsels of go. si p. The differences between the Vandt: bilts -first became public last July, when they were cruising "with a gay party on the" Vanderbilt'' yacht. Among the party was Oliver Perry Belmont, a leader in New York society for some years.and who had frequently been seen with Mrs. Vanderbilt. Something occurred on that cruise, for Mr. Vanderbilt ran the yacht ashore at least two months before the trip should - hare terminated, and his guests were left to make their way home from Europe :u best they could. Mrs. Van derbilt came back to New York and Mr. Vanderbilt went to Paris, ifhere he ope -ed his heart and his purse to one of the most notorious women of the demi-monde in Paris. His conduct with this woman became the 'talk of Paris and New York. Then it was said the Vanderbilts had separated finally, and that Mr. Vanderbilt was leading that life in Paris to give his wife grounds for dirorce from him in order that he would not be forced to bring charges against her. As far ni was known before to day's announce ment, no divore suit was brought, the couple simply agreeing upon a separa tion. The terms of the agreement were even published. Mrs. Vander bilt was to--have th Newport ialace that cost $2,500,000; the e.Vort resi dence; an allowance of $5l0,CKK) per ytar, and. the children six months in the year. Mrs. Vanderbilt, with her handsome dark-eyed daughter, Consuelo, lias been taking a more active interest in New York -society affairs than for many seasons past, while her husband was pleasuring abroad. Right here it might le mentioned that quite recent ly Mr. Vanderbilt cherished the ambi tion that Miss Consuelo would one day wed the young Duke of Manchester. His mother, the Duchess of Manches ter, is a sister of Fernando Yznaga, whose first -wife, was a sister of- Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt. Of course, Mrs. Willie K. sided with her sister in the divorce proceedings agaiust Yznaga, and whether her family animosity ex tends to the Duchess of Manchester is a question. Mrs. Vanderbilt has still another sis ter who has figured in the divorce courts. She was Miss Julia Suiitb,and is now the Countess de Fontilleat. There is one more sister in the Smith family Miss Mimi but she is unmar ried, and lives most ef the time with Mrs. Willie K. Thus out of four sUters the three who married have been divorced.

If President Cleveland's aim is good he'll be eble to send back many a duck from Pamlico Bay. Warrants on the criminal libel charge agaiust Charles A. Dana have been served in New York. The rumor in London that a receiv ership for the Baltimore and Ohio rail road is a possibility is denied by the company's officers. ' Several street lights have grown out of the charges that boodle was respon sible for the re-election of United States Senator Shoup, in Idaho. Oscar Roth, suffering from an incur able disease, committed suicide in New York in order that those who nursed him might get his life insurance. The Spanish Clumber of Deputies has adopted a resolution giving the Government unlimited credit for the suppression of the revolt in Cuba. The practice of stealing bills in the Indiana Legislature is getting com mon. Another has mysteriously pass ed from the keeping of the Engrossing Olerk.

The Government won id do well to go into the coal business.. It has just made $50,000 by supplying the West India fleet with fuel 'from the K&na- wha valley, instead of from Pennsyl vania. Count Jean Edward' d'llulby. of Rome, and Francesca Menti. the Bos ton beauty, were married in New York. He is rich and as her face vas her for tune, Cupid was the best man at the wedding. While indictments for criminal libel are pending against Chas. A. Dana, ed itor, and Wm. M. Lallan, publisher of the New York Sun, it won't d to say it is no Lallan matter, though the ed itor was the real culprit. The Special House Committee on the agricultural depression, finds the unsat isfactory condition of the farmers due to the demonetization of silver, the McKinley tariff, gambling in futures and the adulteration of food. There is an effort to nullify the in come tax law by showing its unconsti tutionality in the feature of class legis lation. In this view all laws authoriz ing taxes are unconstitutional, for they caii only affect classes. The man who has nothing can ay nothing. A few months. '-.go the Manufactures'" Record suggested to the Withington Cooley Manufacturing Co., of Jxickson Mich., that it would do well to consid er the question of establishing a fac tory in the South for the manufacture of farm and garden tools. This com pany has now purchased for $15,000 a large facton at Nashville Tenn. The Nashville establishment will.be under the management of Mr. Thomas H. Russell, treasurer of the company. It will employ about seventy-five hands at the start. The Withington & Coo ley Company has a paid up capital of $200,000, and is reported by the com mercial agencies with the highest rat ing. It is a very large manufacturer of hoes, rakes and other farming tools. The movement South of this concern is but another illustration of the southward trend of industrial inter ests. Lincolnton Courier. The .lassachusttts Legislature. The committee apjointed by the Massachusetts Legislature to come South to investigate the condition of manufactures left Washington Satur day. The committee went via the Sea board Air Line to AtUnta. No plans have as yet been formed. The com mittee consisted of three State Sena tors and seven delegates, one of whom is a colored man. It is supposed that the latter member was put on ihecom-j mittee for the purpose of helping to get data as to the cost of labor and other information from ihe colored peo pie of the South. This trip of in vestigation was brought iibout by the newspaier agitation about New Eng land mills moving South. The Massa chusetts Legislature professes to be concerned about the matter and sent this committee to find out the real facts about Southern competition. Charlotte Observer. TOO LOW WAGES.

JV.t the lirst small beginnings of ner vousness or. when languid feelings do not disappear after a sound night's sleep, the prudent person should know that he or she must check this decline in health by the use of that one genu ine nerve food and blood renewer, Pa i nes celery compound. The family physician knows its pow er over diseases of exhaustion and debility when he orders it, as so many careful practitioners are now doing in every city and small town throughout the United States. As soon as one has fairly begun to use Pa i ne's celery compound, every day will be a firm step toward assured J health. Nervous, vinhappy,and feeble persons find their flesh becomes more solid, a more healthy color takes the; place of the waxy, sallow look, and there comes a clear increase in the ; volume of the blood and an increased ! normal appetite because of this rapid j feeding of the entire system. -Work , becomes easier. j This searching tonic goes at once to j the very causes of nervous disaster i and breakdown. It is invaluable in all wasting diseases, in all cases where unusual demands are made on the sys tem. Especially it is true in the case of mothers and invalids recovering from sickness. Paine's celery compound has saved thousands from mournful years of feebleness, froiri the weariness of pain and from bodily weakness. It means health and happiness. There is now on foot a movement which, if carried out, will bring North Carolina before the eyes of all Ameri ca as the State has never before been brought. With the wonderful resources of the Old North State few of her own citizens are fully acquainted.

AmeoMnceinnieinit PEOPLE CAROLI NAS TO THE TO THE AND SOUTHEAST OF THE The Charlotte Observer makes an announcement of 'more than ordinary interest By special arrangement with the publishers of that greatest of all reference libraries. The Eacrclopaedia. Britannica, ninth (latest) edition, we are enabled for a shortJime to placa this King of Books within easy reach cf every reader. This edition is bound in 28 Royal Octevo Volumes And is the only complete and unabridged edition of this great work in existence revised to date. That some sort of an Encyclopedia is a necessity, all must acknowledge. That the treat BRITANSICA is the very best Encyclo pedia, none will deny. Only Its great cost $125 for the Scribner Edition, $300 for the Edinburgh Edition has prevented its purchase heretofore. At these prices none but the rich could afford to own it. We offer for a limited time to the readers of The Observer an edition superior even to the costly Edinburgh " Edition at the unheard of introductory rate of TEN GENTS A DAY For this small outlay you can secure these s3 Royal octavo volumes, complete and un abridged, revised to date. The Britannica Itself needs no endorsement. For 119 years it has stood the crowning work of our English language, the noblest work in all literature, the one only adequate representative of the advanced thought and scholarship of the world. It is the only Encyclopedia in which each principal subject is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that subject. No other Encyclopedia has given Ten Thousand Dollars for a single article, nor Six Hundred Dollars a page for written matter. The fact that $3,O90 Was expended in its preparation, requiring the labor of 2.000 of the world's greatest scholars, tells the story of its exalted superiority. Over 600 American authors were employed on American subjects and American institutions. The Edition We Offer To our readers comprises many features worthy of special mention, 1. A thorough equipment of new maps up to date, costing $30,000 to produce. 2. The American Copyright Articles, re written to date by eminent American writers. In other respects this Edition is word for word, line for line, page for page, identical with the expensive Edinburgh Edition, costing J8.oo per volume. 3. But the crowning feature of this Edition Is its American Additions and Revisions. prepared under the supervision of that widely known Encyclopedic Editor, V. H. DEPUY. D.D., LL. D., assisted by a corps of trained writers, thoroughly revising the entire work to date. Not only are all Scientific and Historical Subjects brought absolutely up to date, but a . vast fund of new information is added, relating to the material, social, industrial and educational progress of the world, together with many thousand New Biographies not in the original Edition r.or in any other Encyclopedia. For a Short Time This elegant Reference Library will be offered to subscribers of The Charlotte Observer at remarkably low introductory prices, and on terms so easy as to seem almost ludicrous. There are four styles of binding, and all styles have double-hinged, flexible backs, sewed precisely like an Oxford Teacher's Bible, so that they are durable and convenient It is an actual fact that this book fs more strongly bound than the Edition which is sold for $3.oo per volume. L'pon application we will send you description mod prices of the various styles, and you may select any style of binding you choose and have the privilege of paying for it at the rate of 10 cents a day, half the set being delivered to you at once ; or. we will deliver the entire set of 28 volumes on payment of f S.00 per month.
