Tho development of manufacturing enterprise- iu tho South, moro es peciully in tho direction of the manu facture of garments, is exhibited in the faetthat a branch of tho National (Jar ment Workers' Union has been orga nized at Knoxvillo, Tenn. This is the first union of tho kiud to bo crga nized iu the state Governor Koosevelt, iu his address to the class of lH'.ID at Cornell Univer sity, raid: "Our country can better n fiord to lose all of tho men who have amassed millions than to lose one-half of its collegj-bie.l men. We cau got along without mon of enormous wealth, but not without mea of brains." The Phi'adelphia Bulletin has been making a comparison of the number of people iu that city who attend the theatre and those who attend church, and finds the church attendance far iu excesc. Tho weekly attendance at the different places of amusement, it says, is not more thau 170,000. It is hard to compute the chuivh attendance, ex actly.

A turbine system gaining its power from a trolley wire gives hope, too, of greater speed with a miuimum of bank-washing. An over head cable is also a promising possi bility. y . The extraordinary revelation was made at a recent meeting of the State Havings' Bank association of Now York, rays Leslie's Weekly, that there was in the savings l a iks of the Em pire state $1,500,000 in dormant ac counts. The saviugs banks of New York t-tate now hold about $300,0 ;0, 000 . of the people's money and the dormant accounts of $1,500,000 re main without any evidence that their owners will ever call for them. Borne of them have been dormant for over 50 years. One bank in the city of Albany reports that its unclaimed ac counts aggregated over $27,000. Some of these accounts have claimauts --who will appear in due season. We must, indeed, be a rich and prosperous nation when we can overlook a little item of over $1,500,000 lying un claimed iu the savings banks of a single titate. The o:t-repeafed statement that "it n worry that kills, not work," is con tradicted by an eminent specialist in nervous disorders. This authority declares that neither work or worry are baneful in themselves, not even when carried to excess, but that it is the monotonous, unbroken continua tion of tho excess of either that is ex ceedingly injurious. Every form of prolonged mental strain without e. complementary relaxation in some form of physical activity acts disas trously upon the nerve cells, while the continuation of worry which in itself is s far wholesome as it shows a commeudably sensitive orga nization, terminates iu the ruin of the nervous system. The athlete, he declares, must be recommended to take up some Hue of mental tdndy, aud the scho'ar must be encouraged to ado t home regular form of physi cal exercise. Absolute rest is fre quently as ineffective iu restoring an overwrought nerxous system as the whole gamut of nervine, stimu lants, baths, niasa-;-e and t-kvtrieity.

TOWN ON INGUSH SOIL BESIEGED Tlia Transvaal Fla I lUled Over New C'nstln -Kimberly Mines Are Threatened. The London Daily Town correspondent, Moil's Capo telegraphing Hunday evening, says: "Kimberly is besieged and the Boers aro massing in force. No de tail'., however, are obtainable. "Tho Boers have cut the railway at Belmont, have seized tho Spyfontein railway etatiou and constructed forti fied earth works. Thero are strong defending forces at Modder bridge and tho Orange river bridgo. "The object of those energetic oper ations is believed to be the capture of Cecil Bhodes. Kimberly is now iso lated, both railway and telegraphic communication being cut." The Daily Mail's Glencoe Camp correspondent under date of Sunday says: "A force under Commandant Viljoen from Spitzkep, occupied New Castle Saturday afternoon, aud it is reported planted their flag over tho town hall. "It is rumored that tho Boers have captured a police patrol of six men at Dejagers, on the Buffalo river." So far as actual news is concerned, very little change in the situation is noticed. The state affairs at Mafeking can only be conjectured. The occupa tion of New Castle by the Boers was prepared for and expected, the place having been abandoned by the British. The Boers are reported by press dis patches to be menacing Kimberly. Doer YTera On f he Watch. Further details are at hand regard ing the destruction of the armored train at Kraaipan. These show that Captain Nesbitt, who was in command of the train, was warned at Maribago that the Boers held the line. He re plied that he was bound to proceed. IS earing Kraaipan, the train dashed into a culvert that had been blown up by the Boers, who were lying iu wait for the train. The Boer artillery im mediately opened fire aud a desperate fight appears to have ensued, lasting four hours, with the odds ereatlv against the British. The precise de tails are uncertain. It seems, however, that a police patrol, attracted by the firing, ap proached within about two thousand yards of Kraaipan, saw the train ditched with the Boer artillery still pounding at it, but noticed no re sponse. The Boers seemed afraid to approached until the wreck was com plete; and the police feared, as there was no sign of life near the train, that the entire force had perished in a des perate attempt to get the train back to Mafeking, where they know it was anxiously awaited withitsdoad of guns ana ammunition. It is reported that tho Boers lost heavily, but there is no means of ver ifying this. Two miles of rails were torn up. There is no authoritative confirma tion of the report that a battle has been fought in Natal between Sir General George Stewart White and the Orange Free State troops, although there is no question that the Boers have crossed the frontier at several points. ma:y earthquake victims. Death List on the Island of Coran Bald to Have Ileen Four Thousand. Official dispatches from Batavia, cap ital of The Netherlands Indies, con firm the reports regarding the recent earthquake on the island of Coran. Not only the town of Atnboi, on tlia south side of the island, was destroy ed, but several other villages were wrecked. The official advices declare that no fewer than 4,000 people were killed and hundreds of others serious ly injured. Marcliand Wanted Revenge. Advices from Paris state that Major Marchand, who commanded the French expedition in the Soudan, wished to go and fight for the Boers for revenge for being compelled to withdraw from Fashoda, but the government refused him permission. " I.U10SSIIJLE TO DISCUSS." England's Keply to President Pol Kru- ger'n Ultimatum. Following is the text of the British reply to tlie Boer ultimatum sent by Chamberlain to Milner, high minister, at 10:45 p. m., October 10, 1839 "Her majesty's government has re ceived with regret the peremptory de mands of the South African republic, conveyed in your telegram of October 9th. You will inform the government of the South African republic in reply that the conditions demanded by the government of the South African re public are sucn as ner majesty s gov- ernment deem it impossible to dis- cuss. BOAT BURNED; TEN LIVES LOST Alleged Negligence of Captain Added to Fatalities. THE ALARM GIVEN TOO LATE Vessel Burned to Water's HdRC and Only Those Who Jumped Overboard Were Saved. A New York special Fays: The Bridgeport steamer Nutmeg State was burnod in Long Island sound off Sauds Print, L. I., at sunrise Sutnr day morning and ten persons were burned to death or drowned. Most of the passengers who escaped Buffered nothing more than shock from immersion in chilly water, and only fourporsons were sent to tho hospital. The steamer was run to the beach' at tho outbreak of the flames and burned to the water's edge. The bodies of two victims of tho disaster drifted ashoro about noon on the beach, a mile east of the blazing wreck. , One was tho body of a woman about twenty-eight years old, and tho other a girl of four years. Tho Nutmeg State, with over a hun dred persons on board, bound from Connetticntt towns to New York, was discovered on fire about half-past five, when she was within a few miles of Sands Point, L. I. The flames were in the bow of tho boat between the forward cabin and the donkey engine room. Tho fire was on the main deck, and seemed to bo a small affair; so Captain C. M. Brooks, not wishing to needlessly alarm the passengers, or dered the crew to work as quietly as possible with buckets and hose. For about twenty minutes the flames did not seem to be dangerous, and the men appeared to have them in control. Suddenly they burst into a furious blaze amidship. Baggageman Samuel Jaynes was de tached from the fire fighters and sent to alarm the passengers and all the members of the crew who were in the forward part of the boat, lie ran through the passageways on the sev eral decks, shouting to the passengers on the several decks, shouting to the passengers and the sleeping crew. He remained amidships crying out warn ings until he was forced by the flames and stifling smoke to jump overboard. FATHER AXD SON ARRESTED On the Alleged Confession of a Necro Bur glar Guilt Is Denied. At Atlanta, Ga., Saturday, Vincent F. Pickert, son of A. F. Tickert, was arrested on a warrant charging him with burglary. This was a sensational development of the sensational arrest of A. F. Pickert, which occurred three days before, and who was released un der a $2,000 bond. Immediately af ter his arrest young Pickert was also released on a 2,000 bond. These two arrests of father and son, two men who have hitherto stood well in the community, and who are well-to-do financially, is the result, the city detectives claim, of the discovery of one of the most notorious and gigantic- "fences" that has ever been known in Atlanta. The older Pickert was a prominent jeweler in Atlanta for many years. His son is a-lawyer by profession and a pawnbroker by trade. Upon the siatement of a confessed negro burglar, Will Etheridge, con fined in the Tower, backed up by evi dence which the officers claim is strongly corroborative, it is expected to convict the two men, one of bur glary and other of receiving stolen goods. The Pickerts deny their guilt. Their friends claim for them that tho evi dence against them is nothing more than a lie made up by a self-confessed thief and that there is absolutely noth ing to lack it and that there will never be MOB WAS OUTWITTED. Two Prisoners In Valdontn, Ga , Jail Wre lvcmovel In Time. Sunday night the county jail at Yal- dota was for the second time the scene 0f a mob who were after the two pris- oners who murdered Henry Vickers, some three weeks ago. The citizens of Valdosta, were in someway notified of the coming of tho mob, and the two prisoners Jim Goddin aud Wash Powell were put on the train and sent to Waycross. The mob was about four hundred strong. The jailer assured them that the two prisoners had been taken away j to Waycross, but a thorough search away. was made before the men went BRYAN FOR GOEBEL Nebraskan Making Speociu Kentucky Voters. To ADVISES ELECTION OF GOEBEL TICKET i t It no I an tlo (Vowili Oreet the C'nifI ju ris F.very where-Ovalloir .Ihmi Hrjitti. Tho first day'" trip of the Brynn Gocbel party through Kentucky com menced at Cairo, III., the first speech of the day being made at Bardwell, Ky., iu tho presence of a good-natured and good-sized crowd. Tho special train reached the Kentucky town at 8:150 o'clock Monday morning. In his opening address Mr. Bryan demonstrated his pnrpowe to support tho Democratic ticket headed by Wil liam Ooebel for governor. Ho held that the question of whether the next president of the United States was a Democrat depended largely upon whether Kentucky was Democratic this fall. He held that any Demo crat who stands for the Chicago plat form is better thau a Republican. In the presence of the euemy it was not a time to air personal grievances. The real question was one as to prin ciples between the parties. In national matters he assailed the attitude of President McKinloy as re lated to the Philippine islands, assert ing that the president's declaration that congress would care for the islands was a subversion of the decla ration of independence and tho first to be openly mado by a president of tho United States. Tho declaration of the president suggested the use of the word parha meat instead of congress and recalled tho colonial days and policy of King George. Tho islands did not aud could not belong to us simply because we hod paid a decaying monarchy for them. The silver question and the Chicago platform as a whole form the vital questions to lie solved in the coming political contest of 1900. At Fulton there was a good crowd Mr. Bryan said: "You can do some pretty good yell ing here, but I want to tell yoti if you elect Mr. Goebel governor and Joe Blarkburn senator, there will be more yelling in Nebraska, than there is here. They say a man does not want another to do better than himself, but I am not selfish when I say I want yon to give Mr. Goebel a larger majority than von did me is 180G. While I appreciate the splendid vote of 1890, I believe our party is stronger than it was then and there are always sixteen reasons to one why ifc should be so, The largest crowd of the day was met at Mayfield, and the greeting to the visiting party was the warmest, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Goebel were the speakers, the former delivering tho most elaborate speech of the day. EXCITKMEM IX 1URNE5VILLE. Nesroea Keoent Heine Ordered Out of Oxford Knitting Mills. At 10 o'clock Monday night the Barnesville. Ga., police reported to Mayor Kennedy that forty to fifty ne groes were assembled near the square, with rifles and clubs, evidently prepar ing for a midnight attack. The mayor at once ordered out the Barnesville Blues and in less than an hour the city was under military rule and every vestige of a mob had disappeared. The cause of the mobilization of negroes is supposed to bo the outcome of the strike which occurred at the Oxford knitting mills last week. The white operatives refused to work with negroes. The matter w:as adjusted, but not until every negro had left the mill. Numerous notices have been posted by unknown parties warning negroes not to return to their occupa tions. This is supposed to have aroused the negroes. Xewell Will Sijjn Protocol. A special irom ine Hague says: Stanford Newell, United States minis ter to the Netherlands, will sign the protocol embodying the agreements reached by the representatives of the powers participating in the recent peace conference. FRENCH 3IURDKK IJUITON. A Trncedy In I atU May Cai,m Interna tional Muddle. A dispatch to The New York Times from Paris says: "A great sensation ha3 been caused here by the. murder of an Englishman named Derrick by French detectives at Dieppe. Derrick was so shocking ly injured that an unusual surgical operation had to be performed upon him, with the result that he died. "The British consul is attempting to bring the murderers of Derrick to justice. Euglis'a feeling is intensely excited about the incident, which is likely to have important intercatioaal consequences." "He Is Wise Who Talks But Little." 77i.'i is only a hilf truth.
