Brooms are on the dntiahle list at 40 per cent., an increase of 20 per cent , and feather dusters have an increased duty of 5 per cent., the present rate being 40 pei cent. ! TAXED BREAKFAST TABLES. Beginning with the breakfast of tbe family, the duty on oatmeal and rolled oats has been increased 2 47 per cent. The Wilson law1 rate was 15 per cent. j Sagar will cost at least 1 cent a pound more under the new tariff than under the Wilson law. Beans are increased from 20 to 47.5 per cent. , Cabbages, whtch were free under the Wilson law, bear a duty now of i 3 cent 8 each. . Tbe duty on onions has been in creased from 20 to 40 cents per bushel. , Green peas came in under the Wilson law free: now they pay a duty of iOcentsper bushel. If the peas are dried the duty will range from 20 to 30 cents a bushel. Pickles and sauces have an in creased duty of 10 per cent., being on the rate list at 40 cents. Chocolate and cocoa will also cost more now. The duty on' tbe old classifications of chocolate has been raised from 11 to 15 per cent. on eacn oi tue grades, ana nve new classifications have been added. An increase of nearly 20 per cent, has been added to the duty on cocoa, and an additional classification has been made. Salt, which was free, now bears . . j. .a L. 1 If a OQiV 01 1U cents ou eauii xuu Douuds, and on mustard thei duty has been increasea irom zaioai.u per cent. WOMEN MUST PAY FROM HAT TO SHOE. r Woman will have to payjjmore than her share of the increased prices which are to be laid upon everything. She is to be made the especial victim of higher duties and increased . prices. i?rom ine feather which tips every article of her wearing apparel, an additional tax is levied. Nothing has escaped the keen eyes of Mr. Dingley and his associates. When a woman sits down to sew now she must pay more for all the requirements of her sewing basket. Her scissors win cost uer 9 63 per ceqt. more than under the Wilson law. Then all scissors im ported were charged a doty of 45 per cent. The new law makes. AlrtflMHa. . . duty chared Zka "e-min!mam.

Uuder the ninr8K lawu.the duty was 25 per cent., but this duty has been raised a ii uper cent- nnder new law. AH her spool thread will cost spool thread has been raised A cent a dozen, while on the linen thread it has been 10 per cent. This seems small, but tbe tariff makers expect that a good, large revenue will come from.this, and the prices of home thread will beorrespond mgly increased. Never forget that retail prices increase in a geomet rical ratio over wholesale prices hvery sewing woman in the coun try is hit. - Neither has the new .tariff bill lost sight of the fondness of woman for candy. While the makers of the tariff were giving the sugar trnst all they could, they increased the duy on confectionery from 35 per cent, to 50 per cent. .NOT THE SMALLEST THING . ESCAPED. Keepingheir eyes opeu for the very smallest thing that might bring in revenue, the tariff makers found that maay crinoline, corset and hat wires were used. That was enough, and up went the duty on these articles 5 per cent. Now all the American manufac turers of these articles cau raise the price just 5 per cent., and the middleman aud retailer will add auy increase competition will per mit. At the same time, the duty on corsets was iucreased 10 per cent. The tariff makers thought that thewomen of the country would not object to an additional 25 or 50 per cent, on the cost of a pair of corsets. i On cotton cloth, one of the most widely used articles in woman's realm, the new tariff bill has been most craftily drawn. On a large proportion of the various grades the rates are the same as under the Wilson law, but: many changes have been made in' classification, and these make the actual differ ence very wide. As many as 27 new classes have been added to this division of the cotton ached nip These changes have been made on the basis of the i fi npnpsa ami weight of the goods in some cases, and in others the value has beeu made the dividing; line. Uuder the Wilson bill these classes of cotton goods came in mwW Mia general duties laid: but now thp duties range specifically from 3 cents a square yard to 8 cents. The average per cent, of dntv is 50 on all these classes, j In each case the manufacturer has an excuse for raising prices, and the cotton goods of the future used by the housewife will cost at least 25 per cent, more than in the past three years. j All cotton plushes, velvets, vel veteens, etc., will now cost the woman 24 Der cuf. more than nn der the Wilson law. 1 The rate has been raised from 40 per cent, to 67 per ceut. The classifications have not beeu changed, but the duties have leen increased in each case. All woolen plushes have been increased from 40 per cent, to tbe rates that run 88 to 148 Der cent. Silk plushes, velvets and chenilles J . a v iare equauy as uaaiy. in every classification the rates have been increased. The incieases range from 15 to 30 per cent. So the shopper can prepare to take that much more money with ber when she starts out to procure her win ter outfit. Hosiery is going to cost a nice little sum hereafter.! AH cotton hosiery will have an additional 20 percent, and more tacked to the price. All. silk hosiery will cost an additional 10 per cent, for the new law places the duty at Q0 per ceut. instead of 50 per ceut. as under the Wilson law. . i Cotton underwear does not es cape. Under the Wilson law only shirts and drawers were on the dutiable list and these at the gen eral rate of 50 per cent. Now to shiits and drawers are added vests, union suits,' combination suits, tights, sweaters, corset covers, and all underwear of every description, and the duty is placed at 65 per ceut. Nothing in the shape of cotton underwear can escape that 15 per cent, raise. j Flannels for underwear fare still worse. All the rates on the half dozen grades have been iucreased and the average takeb shows that the increase has been 52 per ceut. The average duty on flannel for underwear under the Wilson bill was 48 per cent. ; under the new law it is 100 per cent. ! Silk under wear will also cost 10 per cent, more, but as on other articles, tbe rate on the luxuries is not nearly so high as on tbe necessities. LACINGS AND LACES. Boot, shoe and corset lacings of cotton are to cost 5 per cent, more thau a month ago. The rate has beeu increased from 45 to 50 per ceut. i A determined raid has been made upon lace edgings, embroid eries, neck rufifiings, rnchiugs, etc. Under the Wilson law the duty was 50 per cent. The new law makes a large number of new clas siflcations, with a corresponding number of rates. But for fear that some duty might be as low as. in the Wilson bill, it is especially pro vided that no kind of laces, edg ings or trimmings can be admitted ai a less rate thau 60 per cent A distinction is made between cotton and linen articles, but tbe increased duty Js the same 10 per iuree 7 -.a.a.v a, vj.v . n . t,j I nUKMIA V A I II .1 ii iVa . - . i cent t.

It was my privilege to attend the closing exercises of this school. and I was deeply impressed with the value of an education iu which the industrial and tbe practical are co-ordinated with the intellectual and athletic. The essays read bv tbe yound ladies were of a high oruer, ana tuere was a practical flavor about them that was evi dently due to the reflex influence of industrial, training.

After the public exercises in the chapel, I was Conducted by Dr. Thomas Lawrence, the efficient president of the institute, through the rooms in which the handiwork of the girls was displayed.

I t5T"Subscribe for The Herald, To EXTEND THkt O. R. C : Northern Capitalists Iarest 000,000 ia Developing This Boad To Be Extended from Marlon to Minneapolis, Va. Other Connections to Be Made. . Baltimore San, 3rd. A party of Northern capitalists parsed tbrouglr-Baltimore yester day on their way to Charleston, 5 C. Tbey represent a number of leading financial institutions and bankers who are about to in vest. $600,000 in making several extensions to the old "Three C'.s" liailroad in South Caroltua. The 'Investment Compauy of Philadelphia and the Fiuance Com pany of Peuusjlvauia, C. D. Bar ney & Company and Dick Brothers 6 Company, also of Philadelphia, are the concerns actively interested iu the enterprise and represented in the party. In railroad and fiuaucial circles much importance is attached to the plans of the syn dicate. j The Three C's liailroad was n gin ally started with tbe purpose securing an air line from the tlantic coast at Charleston to e Ohio river. Such a road would the closing link in a new trnnk lie from the West And North wp U the South At! antic ftp.a1w-.nrri insiderable work was done, hnt irJISOO the enterprise went into a rt;eivership. j The road was reorganized io L4 and the present name, Ohio Bjver & Charleston, adopted in pjice of the old title of Charleston, Cncinnati & Chicago liailroad. Sice that time strong efforts have Ixeu made to interest capital to complete the road. Tbe concerns wiiich have now takeu hold of it ptopose to put it in shape for hau blng tbe through business for wiit U it was planned. s Mr. Dick, who was one of the party in Baltimore yesterday, said to a reporter of the Sun that ihe wcrk decided upon had already been commenced and would be car ried forward at a lively rate until it is finished. This includes tha exiension of the road from Blacks burg to Spartanburg, forty miles. The first ten miles of this line wilt be put in operation on September 1. Spartanburg is tbe third largest town in the State, and has within a radius of thirty miles more cot ton spindles than are to be found elsewhere iu the Southern States. The extension passes through the cotton mill towns of. Cherokee Falls, Clifton, Olendale, Gaflney City and Pacolet to Spartanburg. Another extension which is to be made is from Camden to Sum ter, thirty-two miles. At Sumter connection will be secured with the Atlautic Coast Line for Wil mington and Charleston. Camden tl,a smith eastern terminaa cf the road as now built. Its north western terminus is at Marion, N. C, and a third extension is pro posed from Marion to Minneapolis, Va. This would afford au impor tant connection with the Louisville & Nashville system by crossing the South Atlantic & Ohio at Kstill ville, Va., and would meet the Norfolk & Western at Minneapolis, thus getting into the Big Stone Gap coal region. Charleston people are moving in a scheme to build a liue from that city to Sumter to meet the new road and briug it into Charleston independent oi' the Coast Line. The railroads the Charleston peo ple claim have their city bottled up now aud it is not to the interest of these lines to bring business to that city, as a longer haul is se cured by taking traffic to Northern ports. This, it is contended, has resulted in the development of ports to the north, like Norfolk and Newport News, on business taken by Charleston, which should be its natural outlet. On such traffic the rail haulage via Charleston, it is contended, can be reduced to a third of tbe present distance over the new road. A supplementary project to tho railroad is the establishment of a line of steamers from Charleston to handle the export trade. The ton nage obtainable from tbe cotton mills alone, which will be reached by the Ohio River & Charleston, will, it is said, furnish business that will make the steamship line a success. Shorter rail haul and longer water haul obtainable with such a combination, would, it is believed, make the freight rate so advantageous as to divert that way most of. tbe business which now goes from the Charleston territory to Northern ports. The railroad will aUo have another important bearing upon that. At present the coal supply comes chiefly -from the Alabama regions. Wall the new road com pleted to the Big Stone Gap region, which is only about half as far away as the Alabama region, the cost of coal will be lessened hv rea son of the shorter haulage. This is calculated to have a stimulatiug influence npou manufacturing in the section concerned. Mouey to construct the exten sions will be furnished by tbe issu auce ol 600,000 of bonds, which the syndicate will market. The Ohio liiver & Charleston has '213 miles of completed road, but there are no bonds on tbe property. Standa at the Head. - Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of Shreveport, La., says: -Pr.

In tbe natural order of events, judged by all former periods of in dustrial and financial depression, it is about time for a revival ol business. Coincident with this are conditions that give tbe as surance of a marked improvement in the near future. The passage of tbe tariff bill removes one great obstacle which has been in tbe way, and gives to the manufacturers or the country a basis for their oper ations, with the certainty that for four or five tears, at least, there will be no tinkering with tbe tariff. The crops are unusually large, tho indications pointing to a wheat yield of 550,000,000 or 600, 000,000 bushels, giving us a sur plus for exportation, in round num bers, of about 200 000,000 bushels. By reason of short crops abroad, all of this will find a ready market at good prices. The farmers of tbe country will receive 9 100,000, 000 or more for their wheat crop in excess or what! they got last year. Railroad earnings are im proving, and the crop movement will soon fully tax; the carrying capacity or all the' roads in the country. Mouey will soon once more begin to seek investment, and new industrial and lailroad enterptises will -be undertaken. Tbe long lane or bard times has been turned, and before tbe close or 1897 it will be seen that we have entered upon a road that leads to great activity and to a vast expansion in our commercial and industrial interest. It is estimated that tbe value of tbe crops and the increase in tbe value of live-stock of the country will thia year be about $500,000,000 more than last year. Tbe advance in railroad and industrial securi ties during the last I two or three months, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, aggregates nearly $500,000,000, The South maj well rejoice in tbe prospect ahead, for it will share in this prosperity to a greater degree than eter before. During tbe last five or six years tbe South baa been ! petting itself in shape, gettiug j out of debt, learning how to produce its crops and manufacture its goods at a lower cost than ever before. It has demonstrated (tbe inherent strength of ita business and 9nau cial interests j it ba aeeu.lbe be ginniugof a great southward move ment of populatiou j it has com menced to attract world-wide at tention to the wonderful increase in its foreign trade land the de velopments .pr its South Atlantic and Gulf ports. All or thin ad vance has been made during a period iu which the rest or the country has found it difficult to hold its own. Having accomplished this much in such a period of de pression it is now in a position to enjoy to the largest extent tbe geueral activity and prosperity of tbe next few 3 ears. ! It is true that tbe South did not secure 111 tbe tariff bill all to which it was justly entitled, though on the whole it is tbe best tarff for the South that we have bad. In this bill, as in many other things, it was to some extent discriminated agaiust; but unfortunately, it can only blame its own representatives. Tbe bene fits that must come from tbe set tlement or the tariff questiou will, however, be as great to tbe South as to any other section. . The Manufacturer's Record con gratulates its readers throughout our eutire country npon tbe as surance of at least a few years of prosperity and tbe ;fair prospect that, with the elimination of a few dangers to permanent prosperity, we shall enter npon a period of greater activity and expansion iu trade, domestic audi foreign, that this country has ever known.

Mr. Sherman's -Tirtaal - acknowledg ment of bis ignorance of the na ture or tho instructions given to Minister Sewall concerning Ha waii is proof or bow little he knows or tbe important part. or tbe for eign policy or the administration. Mr. Day has had exclusive charge or all matters relating to Hawaii and Cuba. Mr. John W. Foster, tbe gentle man who is credited with having written the instructions to Ambas sador Hay that were' signed by Mr."8bermau, has returned from bissealiug mission to Europe. He says it was successrul; Pror. Elliott, of tbe Smithsonian Institute, says it was a flat failure. Which of them is right will not be known until after tbe interuatfbnal con ference, which meets in Washing ton next October, shall have been held. The Spanish Minister has only to tip tbe wink to tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury to put all of tbe ma chinery or the United States cus toms service to work at filibuster bunting. His latest was an allega tion that arms were about to be shipped from Brigeport, Connecti cut, or thereabouts, to tbe Cubans. Secial orders were at once sent to all tbe officers or tbe customs ser vice in that vicinity to turn them selves into detectives to please tbe Spanish Minister. Or course every man has a right to have aud express an opinion npon subjects before tbe public, and yet opiuions may be expressed in such a way as to make a man appear to be gloating over the misfortune or something that he opposes, which causes them to strike most people as being in bad taste, or even worse. To the lat ter class belong tbe poblically ex pressed opinion or Mr. Preston, di rector or tbe United States mint, ou the decline in tbe prince or sil ver. With tbe usual gall or the know-it all Mr. Preston tells tbe public not only that be knew the decline in price was coming but that be knows tbe decline is going on until the price gets down to fortT cents an ounce. Tbe belief is irresistible that 'Mr. Preston's talk represents bis wisbas rather than his knowUdge ou this sub ject. Not a little joking has followed the naming of tbe new submarine torpedo boat, which a small party of officials went over to Baltimore to see lsuched from the Columbian Iron Works. TeddyP Roosevelt, who is always 4rjing to do some thing out or the common, chris tened the boat "Plunger." El e trie Bitters. ElecUio Bitters is a medicine salted for any season, but perhaps more gener ally needed when the languid, ex bauat ed feeling prevails, when the liver Is torpid and aluggish and the need of a tonio and alterative is felt. A prompt ue of thia medicine has often averted long and perhapa fatal bilious fever. No medicine will act more sorelv io counteracting and freeing tbe system from the malarial poison.
