The egg crop of the United States

A New England bai.k cashier who
absconded recently is described as be

that will hardly serve to distinguish
him from other missing cashiers.
Several scientific papers Lave recent

Alexander McDonald, the Kingof the
Klondike, who arrived in Tacoma, is
worth over $2,000,000. He owns all or
part of 75 claims in the Klondike dis
trict. Four years ago he left Tacoma
with just enough money to reach
J tineau.
Some of the wooden churches of Nor
way are fully 700 years old and are still
in an excellent state of preservation.
Their timbers have successfully re

A new terror is in store forthose who
speak the taal. Motor cars are being
rapidly introduced into South Africa,
as into other parts of the world, and of
course some word must be used to
denote them. This, in accordance with
a decision of the Flemish academy at
Antwerp, will probably be Snelpaarde

Adjt. Gen. Corbin says that the wear
ing of medals by volunteer soldiery is
rot regulated by law. Ihe Army and
Navy .Journal, however, thinks that it
should be and says: “Every soldier in
the army should receive a medal or
cross for war service, but he ought to
get it from nation and not from his
ward neighbors or fellow townsmen.”
John Ferguson, who works a farm
near Calhoun Ga., is 50 years old, just
over eight feet tall and weighs 310
pounds. Up to the age of 20 he was
an invalid, but after that time he in
creased in brawn and muscle with mi
raculous rapidity, until at the age of
30 he was, as he is now, a veritable
giant. He is 48 inches around the chest
and 44 around the waist.
A society which aims to be to the
soldiers who enlisted for the Spanish-
American war what the Grand Army of
the Republic has been to the federal
army of the civil war has been organ
ized in Lexington, Ky. “The Service
Men of the Spanish War" is the title of
the new society, and the plan of organ
ization was the idea of Capt. Wilson I.
Davenny, commissary of subsistence of
the First brigade, Second division. First
army corps.
The Nebraska young man who de
serted his bride at the moment of the
eerfinony because he discovered that
she hud been indulging in a cigarette,
will probably have the sympathy of
many a man who is not quite ready for
oriental customs among the women.
At the same time, it might be interest
ing to inquire into the habits of the
bridegroom. If he is a smoker, has he
any real grounds for complaint against
the young lady?
The United States is coming to the
front as a silk producer. Thirty years
ago our annual output of silk was but
little more than $6,000,000 in value,
while now it reaches over $57,C00.000.
The imports of silk are falling off also,
and from the high-water mark in silk
imparts of $30,000.000in 188,3 they have
now dropped down to $23,000,000. A
little export trade lias also been built
up. and if there is anything that.your
Uncle Samuel cannot produce we would
like to know what it is!
The new woman lias scored the vic

A judge of that advanced town has de
cided that wives belonging to clubs have
a legal right to a latchkey and to return
home at any of the small hours that
best suit them, and that husbands who
oppose this right as an exclusive one of
their own are liable to arrest ami tine.
This disposes of the whole vexed ques
tion. The latchkey unlocks the last
fetter binding downtrodden woman to
tyrannical conventions.
A telephone man predicts that be
fore the close of the nineteenth cen
tury persons on the Pacific coast will
be talking by telephone to persons on
the Atlantic seaboard. The feat has
t’lready been accomplished between
Kansas City and Boston. Thirty-three
states are now connected by long-dis
tance telephone systems, and within a
year nearly every other state w ill have
them. Statistics show that the year
IS9S l as developed greater activity in
the telephone world than any since its
invention, and the year 1899 will be tffe
record breaker
New York has decreed that a teacher
in the public schools may not marry
and still hold her job unlfcss she can
show some very excellent reason why
an exception should be made in her
case. If a school-teacher—or, for that
matter, any other young woman—
cannot get a husband who is able to
support her she had better remain
single, and if she gets a husband who
can support her she had better devote
herself to the home rather than the
school. This appears to be the course
of reasoning in New York, and it ought
to hold good everywhere.
The bishops of the Methodist church
who recently held their semiannual con
ference in Springfield, Mass., voted to
call for a ■’twentieth century thank of
fering" of 820,000,000 from the mem
bers of the Methodist church. The
funds are to be collected at intervals
before January I, 1901. and it is antici
pated that the desired sum will be in
hand by’ that date. This immense
amount of money will be used in im
proving the educational and charitable
institutions now maintained by the
Methodist church, but none of it will
be used for new institutions.
El Cubano, a newspaper established
in Santiago since the occupation by
American troops, criticises the Amer
can mayor because he works in his of
fice in his shirt sleeves. El Cubano says
that it is very undignified and very
much beneath the honor of the office.
Dignity or no dignity, the American
.’leaned up Santiago in four w eeks after
the Spaniards failed to make any prog
ress in that direction for 400 years, and
jas done more for the people of that

Trouble in Wilmington, N. C., in
Which Nine Negroes Are Killed.
Three White Men Are Wounded, One
Seriously-1 he Trouble Begins by
W recking of the Office of
the Aeirro Frew.
Wilmington. N. C., Nov. 11.—After a
day of bloodshed and turbulence Wil
mington has subsided into comparative
peacefulness. Nine negroes were
killed and three white men wounded
during the day, one of them, William
Mayo, seriously. The city is in the
hands of a new municipal government
and law and order is being established.
Cauaie of the 'Trouble.
The trouble in Wilmington com
menced at 8:30 Thursday morning,
when an armed body of men, num
bering about 400 and led by ex-Repre
sentative Waddell, chairman of a com
mittee of 25 appointed for the purpose
proceeded to the publishing house of a
negro newspaper, the Record, to wreck
it. The editor of this paper had pub
lished an article defamatory of white
women, and a mass meeting of citizen,
on Wednesday ordered bis expulsion
from the city within 24 hours and the
removal of his press. Fifteen leading
negroes were called on by the commit
tee of 25 Wednesday night and directed
to notify the chairman by 7:30 Thurs
day morning whether they would agree
to the removal of the press. They were
informed that if no answer was re
turned the press would be demolished
No answer was received by the chair
man Thursday morning, and aftei
waiting an hour the citizens proceeded
in a body and demolished the fixtures
cf the printing office.
Panic Anning Xegroer
The burning of the printing office
created a great commotion among the
regroes of the town. The rumor spread
that the whites were going to burn and
murder in the negro quarter. This
rumor reached the negro employes of a
cotton compress numbering 300 or 400.
who quit work and hung about the
streets in manifest terror. Other par
ties congregated in the negro section
and it was in one of these that the
first tragedy was enacted. The men
were standing on a corner and/were
ordered to disperse. They declined
and, it is claimed, fired into the whites.
The Battle 111-alm,
A fusillade was immediately opened
upon them by the whites and three
negroes were killed. Two whites wer
wounded slightlj- One negro ran down
the street and passing a residence fired
a rifle at William Mayo (white) stand
ing on the veranda, shooting him
through the left lung. This negro was
recognized, pursued and captured while
hiding under a bed. It is said he con
fessed to the shooting. He was riddled
with shot by his captors and killed.
Total of Nine Neurroea Dead.
About one o'clock some negroes in
a house fired upon a passing party of
white men. 'Hie house was surround
edand four negroes captured and taken
to the jail. One negro broke away and
ran, but was shot down and killed be
fore he had proceeded half a block.
During the afternoon there were other
affairs of this kind and eight negroes
were killed during various times in the
disturbed sections.
As the news of the riot spread
through the neighboring state cities
they offered to send help, and all such
offers were declined, except in the case
of Fayette, from which town came
about 150 men. As nightfall came the
town was completely patrolled and
guarded. Very few negroes were on
the streets and they were not allowed
to congregate anywhere. The action
of the citizens in organizing a new
municipal government is expected to
bring peace and order, and no more
rioting is expected.

TEMPLE IS DROPPED.
rhe NV. C. T. V. Decide* Io Dl*con t Inue
It a* an Affiliated Intereal of
That Body.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 15. —Five hours
of animated, vigorous and occasionally
bitter and personal debating was neces
sary before the W. C. T. 0- delegates
came to a vote on whether to abandon
the temple project as an affiliated In
terest, and then by a vote 287 to 71 the
lemple was abandoned. The opposition
to such action declared it was an act of
repudiation of a moral obligation, and
fought every way possible but the of
ficial interests and most of the lead
ers were against them, and they fought
to the end.
The Temple question was taken up
immediately upon the assembling of
the convention at its afternoon ses
sion. Mrs. Matilda B. Carse, of
Illinois, read her report on the
Temple, which was a full his
tory of the building and the connec
tion of the W. C. T. U. with the en
terprise, and making a strong plea for

mariners was abandoned when the two
life boats, keel upward, were washed
high on tiie beach. Ten thousand

Jeltiy In Reaching Decision na to
Philippines Must Eid—Spain
la Warned.
Washington, Nov. 14.—A final ultim.v
turn to Spain was drafted at the special
meeting of the cabinet Saturday night.
In effect it declares that there shall oe
no more discussion by the peace com
missioners of the right of America to
the Philippines. The president and the
cabinet have reached the decision that
that issue admits of no further argu
ment. The islands have become con
quered territory of the United States,
and the Spanish government no longer
possesses right or title to them. This be
ing so, the discussion in Paris is to be
strictly confined to the manner of the
evacuation of the islands by Spain.
This radical decision simplifies mat
ters greatly for Judge Day and his con
freres. They have become irritated
over the dilatory tactics of Senor Rios
and the other Spanish commissioners
and had begun to fear the negotiations
would drag their weary length along
until the beginning of the new year.
But the president’s firm action stops
all this. The matter now narrows down
to surrender or no surrender, and the
Spaniards know the result of refusal.
There is no fear here that Sagasta will
get European nid. Private advices tn
the government show that there will be
no intervention. Other and graver con
cerns than the Philippines are keep
ing the nations watchful and suspicious
of one another. None of them cares to
blow on a flame that may’ cause a con
flagration in Europe and in the fir
east. It is the desire of the president
that the treaty shall be ratified by the
time congress meets next month.
POWDERLY REPORTS.
The Commlsaloner Tell* of the Work
of the Immigration Bureau
IliirltiK the Year.
Washington, Nov. 12. Commissioner-
General T. V. Powderly, of the immigra
tion bureau, In his annual report to the
secretary of the treasury, gives the total
number of Immigrants who arrived in the
United States during the last fiscal year as
229,299, a decrease as compared with the
fiscal year 1897 of 1,533. Of the w hole num
ber, 135,775 were males and 93,524 females.
Ten thousand seven hundred and thirty
seven came into the United States through
Canada During the year. 3,030 were de
barred, and of this number there were 12
insane, one Idiot, 2,261 paupers, or persons
likely to become a public charge: 258 dis
eased persons, two convicts, 79 assisted
emigrants, and 417 contract laborers. One
hundred and ninety-nine were returned
within one year after landing Of the
whole number, over 14 years of age, 1,416
could not write, 43,057 could neither read
nor write, 27.608 over 20 years of age had
S3O or over, and 96,203 had less than S3O.
The total amount of money shown by im
migrants during the year was $3,872,077,
but the actual amount brought over was
probably greatly In excess of this amount.
Of the whole number of arrivals, 58,613
came from Italy, 27,221 from Russia proper,
25,128 from Ireland. 17,111 from Germany,
16,659 from Hungary, 12,420 from Galicia and
Burkowina, in Austria-Hungary, and 12.-
398 from Sweden, and 9,987 from England.
The total arrivals of male Immigrants
during the present fiscal year are slightly
in excess of those for the year next be
fore it, and It is fair to assume, the re
port states, represent a more desirable
class, since those from European coun
tries show an increase of 2,730. while those
from other sources, principally Asiatic, ex
hibit a decrease of 2.062. It appears again
that, although there has been a diminution
In the total Immigration, yet. In respect of
their means of Immediate self-support, the
arrivals for the present year are more de
sirable. for they exhibited to the examin
ing officials $3,852,077, an amount in excess
of that shown in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1897. of $310,836.
Mr. Powderly recommends that the head
tax be Increased from one dollar to two
dollars, "so as to furnish,” he said, "a fund
sufficient to enlarge the bureau’s opera
tions to their full capacity for usefulness In
protecting American citizens from dis
ease, taxpayers from the imposition ot
unjust burdens, the hospitals, charitable
and penal institutions from an influx of
aliens, native producers from unjust com
petition, and the social and political insti
tutions of the country from demoralization
by the corrupt citizens of other countries."
