The closing day was marked with a battle of the giants, masterly speeches of an hour each being made by T. B. Reed, of Maine, the leader on tho Republican side of the House, by Burke Cochran, the great Tammany Democrat of New York, and by W. L. Wilson, of West Virginia, the author of the bill under debate. Mr. Reed had a great deal of bitter his speech. Mr- stood squarely on the Chicago platform, and Mr. Wilson plead earnestly for the adoption of his bill which provides for repeal of the Sherman bill. These speeches elicited more in- than any that were deliver- ed in the House during the de- bate. Other members made speeches of shorter time the same day.

Both of these Sen- are friends of Silver and both of them favor the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man Silver law as the best method of tho way for other legislation dealing with silver as money. There was a sharp debate in the Senate this week, for a few minutes, over the question of whether a resolution offered by Senator of the Secretary of the Treasury as to the action of national banks in large cities in refusing to cash upon presentation checks of de- should be disposed of at once or be referred to the committee. Trouble was avoided by a demand for the sent the res- to the foot of the calendar, where it will to await its turn unless sooner taken up by a vote interview with the President. Hints have also been received here that certain New York banks have been profiting largely by the sale of currency at a premium, which has been go- in that city. It will not be surprising if there is some very plain talk in Congress about tho national banking system as at present conducted before long. Senator devoted a part of his speech to it, and there will be others heard from as soon as finances get a little steadier. Without disparagement to the Democrats who held important committee chairmanships the last House, it can be said that Speaker Crisp has in the new chairmen selected who are generally credited with being peculiarly well fitted to perform tho duties with which they have been Hon. W. Wilson, of West the new chair- man of tho Ways and Means committee, has been a student and advocate of reform not only since he has been a member of the House but also long before he entered public life. He is thoroughly master of the subject, and the tariff bill, upon his committee will at once get to work, promises to be a model of its kind- Hon. Joseph S. Sayers, of Texas, the chairman of the committee on has been a prominent of that committee for years, and no higher praise can be given his abilities than to say that he has long been spoken of as the Sam. Randall of that committee, in his methods of work and grasping of the salient points of all subjects that come before the committee. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, who was chairman of the Ways and Means committee in the last House, is now at tho head of the committee Banking and Currency, which will play no small part in the leg of the present House, and Mr- Holman, who was of the Appropriations committee, is now at the head of the committee on Indian Affairs, where his work will be much lighter, a that his age made important. The number of disappointments is much smaller than usual. By joint resolution of Congress the provisions of the law for town site entries of land in Oklahoma been extended to the Cherokee outlet, which is to opened to settlement at noon September 16- Commissioner has no objection to the carrying out of the latest Republican threat of applying to the courts for an injunction to prevent his suspend- pensioners whose right to be on the rolls he believes to be questionable. There has been some talk this week about the probability of the extra session coming to a close before tho first of October, but the most experienced legislators will not express an opinion as to the length of the session until something more is known about the probable length of time the Senate will take to dispose of tho bill for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man law. The House will not necessarily be idle after it cs of the repeal bill as Johnson's bill providing for an exchange of U. S- bonds for currency, at the option of tho holder of the bonds, the interest on which will cease so long as tho currency is retained, will probably be reported from the committee on Banking and Cur- soon after the silver vote is taken, and tho same committee may also report a bill for the re peal of tho tax on State bank currency- But it may decided to do nothing tho House until the Senate acts on silver. that case tho House will only meet three days. The Senate has decided against seating the appointed Senator Lee Montana. Where Immigrants can be The last issue of the Record has the following well timed and sensible remarks on the class of immigration which the South needs, secured, if the proper effort is tho South wants new settlers, people who will identify them selves with local interests, engage in agriculture or manufacturing, and become factors in the of the South, they should be sought in the West and Northwest. The dream in turn- foreign South- ward is a circuitous, costly and difficult way of populating the South, and years will be required to accomplish anything like factory results. example of what the West has done in this direction is very pleasing to contemplate, but it most be remembered that the rail- roads of the West have expended millions and consumed years in the results now so vast. Among tho millions in the West and Northwest there are thous- ands who are not satisfied with their surroundings, and who would be glad to migrate to some other section. It is far easier and more desirable to secure these people for the who are familiar with our laws, and seek for new settlers in foreign lands- Here is a very simple and way of getting tangible result out of the immigration movement. It does not call for a large expenditure of money, time or labor. ink will do most of the work- Pot South- facts into the hands of the Western people and half the work is A Texas widow an editor for She gained the suit, and then the editor married her in order to keep the cash in the family.

The nation of river and mountain is superb, the broad being at times contracted into a rushing rocky torrent as some bold mountain disputes its course, and then widening into an eddying pool as the obstruction is passed. Alternately deep and shallow, sometimes a placid mead- ow stream, and again a mountain torrent, few rivers can vie with the Potomac in all that interesting variety that makes it so lastingly delightful.

East Wednesday night a started in the extreme north and swept down the entire to Virginia. It left a scene of devastation its wake, wrecked and demolished build- marking the track of the storm. Saturday's dispatches predicted a storm for the southern coast region on Sunday night, and it was on time. Greenville got up morning to find a strong east wind blowing that had started the night before, and an occasional shower fell during the morning. In the afternoon the wind shifted around to the but kept up its force. About o'clock rain came down torrents for half an hour, the fall during the short time measuring H inches.

This see them if they will call they can has been done in justice both to Tobacco men should not fear to come East One of the great draw backs that our eastern mar- have had to contend with in securing good tobacco men of ex- to our eastern towns is the fear of malarial typhoid fever. When Eastern North Carolina first began to grow tobacco there was of course a demand for men of experience to come h ere and show how the work should be done. The first two or three years that tobacco was grown in Pitt county the of course was small and the acreage very limited and hence were but few tobacco men down here and we don't remember a single instance where any of them suffered any inconvenience from the change of atmosphere. One instance particularly we have in mind. first man was Mr. J. T. Seat For the first three mouths he was most miserable and every ache and pain that ho had were of course of chills and fever but he managed to tough it out and by the end of the first year he had become so accustom- ed to our eastern that he was to give it up, but failing the Greenville market and our customers, knowing that unless we paid as much for tobacco as other markets it would be to establish a market here. And while these market are anything else but correct and nearly always gives overrated prices, yet under the stances and for the lack of a more perfect system of market reports they are the best that can be ob- unless visits in person or shipments to the market are made.

We have had no dealings with the other markets, that are quoted above and hence can't say what they doing but judging from what we can learn from other sources aside from the market re- ports about the same difference between their reports and the actual price at which tobacco is selling exists. The W. M- Carter Tobacco Company gives the ac- market price of tobacco. There is no sense, honesty or policy in misrepresenting the market price of tobacco before the farmers. They may be in- by these flattering quota- to make a trial shipment of their tobacco to such markets but when he gets his returns and sees how things have been mis- represented he loses respect not only for the firm with whom he has dealt but also the entire mar Farmers are plain practical people and those who wish, to give their confidence will far better by stating plain and naked facts than by alluring misrepresentations. is all between Job- lots and Miss Fitz.

But as the tobacco acreage increased in the same ratio the number of tobacco men increased and in course of time a few who were already shaking and with fear of becoming sick ac- did have very usual occurrence for a human being. One Mr. Wagstaff who are informed by his ates who come with him, was in a very poor state of health upon leaving home, soon after he came down was with fever and in a few days died. all prob- ability had he remained at home the same would have been the result But he was branded as a victim of our eastern climate and a great many who were curing tobacco in the same community with him became frightened and went home. The news of course was spread of the cause of his death and for a good while it was with fear and trembling that ventured to come to Pitt. Then again on the first of last September, Mr. Blackley, who had been employed as auctioneer at- the Eastern warehouse died with His death also was regarded as a result of coming east when in fact a change of climate had nothing on earth to do with it.

Honor Scenes Around the Court of at World's Fair. The Court of Honor at the world's fair is the center of architectural in- whether seen by morning, sunset or electric evening light, and the most conservative spectator can- not restrain his enthusiasm when this glorious sight first meets his eyes. The court surrounds the I great basin and is bounded on the north, west and south by the build- of Manufactures and Liberal Arts and by the Administration and the Agricultural buildings while across the eastern end runs the magnificent Grecian with its four rows of columns one hundred and fifty feet high, midway by a noble arch mounted by a the columns adorned by eighty-five allegorical figures which stand out bravely against the blue waters of Lake Michigan and the bluer sky above. At the western end of the court rises the grand gilded dome of the Administration building and direct- in front of it the fountain, so-called from the artists who planned it. The central figure of the fountain is a markets we feel that we are in a position to correctly answer this question. A few weeks ago a friend of ours brought down a load of barn though bright tobacco with very of good men who want to few in u. We told him that come east on account of our . fine statue representing Columbia in the quotations of Wilson and enthroned In a triumphal barge, the other markets. Does this rowed and guided by noble exist or not I is the figures on either side. question that suggests itself to sporting in the every one. Having had some re- cent experience on these other advantages over the central section and there are others who want to locate on our eastern markets fear the This idea should be ed by those who have been here for some time and know the con- of our country. Mr- J. S. Jenkins says in this connection that when he first came to Pitt he left the Virginia it was a great sacrifice to offer it here as the market was very settled especially on good grades. He said that he was compelled to have some money to house the balance of his crop and if we would arrange to get him twenty dollars on his load he man- age to the balance. So we suggested to him that we ship the tobacco to Richmond as that market was quoting prices ; great lake on which the barge floats, i and the numerous tall jets of water j throw themselves at length down a I flight of wide steps to the central basin. Opposite the fountain is a stupendous gilded statue of the Re- public, represented by a stately fig- of a woman sixty feet high with various symbolic devices. In the generous water space between the fountain and statue, electric and steam launches with gay awnings, also graceful gondolas, with oarsmen, are constantly ply- By sunset light, when the statues on the peristyle and other buildings are touched with a bright glow, or when, in the evening, the long rows of electric lights creep out one by One and are reflected in the waters, the scene surpasses anything that pen or tongue can describe, and impresses on the spec- a picture which will shine brightly in memory as long as y.

Did you ever stop to sider where all the little things used a railroad come from Where th j en- gets his oil cans and oil and waste, the brakeman his flags and lanterns, the station agent his en- and pencils and glass to re- place broken panes, the car cleaner his brooms and sponges and soap The might buy these things themselves, but that would be a vary expensive way, for some of the grant railroads spend a for these apparently little gs. Every railroad has an officer called the purchasing agent, who buys all the articles that are constantly needed. Ho has nothing to do with buying the locomotives or cars or rails; it is only tho things that ho has to spend sometimes a year for. On the 1st of each month tho head of each department and every station agent what is called a requisition upon the purchasing agent for the supplies that they will need for that month; that is, they make out a list of the articles and send it to headquarters. The chasing agent looks over all these lists, audits them, as it is called, and strikes out some of the items when he thinks that too much has been asked for. When the list is cut down to what he thinks is right ho puts his initials upon it, and it is sent to one of tho principal officers of the road, who also approves it. When it comes back to the agent approved, ho sends an order to the supply department and the goods are shipped to their The variety of things that tho chasing agent has to buy is shown by two requisitions taken at random from among thousands received by one agent in this city this month. One was for dozen red globes for signal lanterns, barrels of oil, barrels of signal oil, gallons of turpentine, 10.000 seals and wires for sealing freight cars, coil of rope inches in circumference, dozen brooms, j dozen sponges, pounds of waste for chimneys, gallons of soft soap for cleaning ca- kegs of nails, envelopes, paper clasps, gross of pens, gross of pencils and yards of flag bunting. Another requisition, from an office in the interior of New York where there must a great many clerks, called for large envelopes, small envelopes, small pods, letterheads, gross of pens, application forms, monthly report blanks, gross of pencils, gross of clasps, large sticks of red sealing wax, heavy manila en- dozen oil cans, dozen lanterns, signal lamps, dozen red globes, dozen white globes, large lamps for station, dozen brooms, feather dusters, pounds of waste, kegs of nails, J dozen large chamois skins, panes of glass coils of small rope, i bale of coarse wrapping paper, fence pickets and feet of barbed Young People. Senator Stanford and Womankind. Senator Stanford attested in two notable instances the high regard in which he held womankind. His respect for woman in general he re- corded by giving her equal rights with men in Stanford university. His regard for her in particular ho showed by his will, in which the great bulk of his fortune was left ab- to his wife. A great many people interested, some of them vitally, to sec whether these two important actions will work together for good. Practically Mr. Stanford bequeathed Stanford university to his wife. It is true he left the about two millions and a half, but that is far from being a large enough sum to keep the in- running on the scale on which it is conducted now. Happily Mrs. Stanford's interest in it has ways been quite as lively as her husband's. Yet it has happened be- fore now that man and wife who have been one so long as both have lived, have turned out to a differ- one after the man has died. It is a fact, and a pretty solemn to the university, that the huge Stan- ford property has changed hands, and that the disposition its in- come will be subject to new the bent of which cannot be predicted.

Electricity seems to be coming prominently to the front for use in purification processes. It has been successfully introduced in France and England for purifying sewage, and if worked with a refuse tor, in which the beat can be used for generating the current, it is thought it be found not only more satisfactory, but more than existing methods. In Germany an electrolytic process for purifying mercury for use in very accurate work is coming into general use, A near of blenching starch by is also reported, by which, it is said, second and lower qualities of the product can be treated so that they can compare favorably first quality. Methods of manufacturing ozone by electrical action are also well known. In fact, it seems as if the electric current were destined to play a very important part in the sanitary engineering of tho future. SINGING MICE. Their Voices Are Clear and the They Quito Interesting. It is u fact that mice can and often do sing. A writer in La Nature tells of two singing mice which he observed for several months. One mouse learned to sing from a canary, but tho other was taught by its companion. A correspondent of For- est and Stream, writing from tells of his observation of a singing One Monday evening, as I sat read- by tho fire, I heard what I at first thought was a boy passing along the street, imitating the war- of a canary bird. Presently, however, I discovered that the noise was not in the street, but in the room where I was sitting, and fur- that it was mad by a mouse. Tho fellow was evidently upon a foraging expedition, and was, if one might judge from his song, as light-hearted as the canary whom ho so perfectly imitated. I listened in wonder, and then proceeded to arouse my family, who had retired, telling them that I wanted them to hear what they hod never heard, and what they might never have an opportunity of hear- again. The fellow seemed very tame, and for upward of an hour played around my feet, and at hide and seek my chair, and then, probably thinking that it was to be in bed, vanished. I listened very attentively during the whole time to see if the singing might attributable to any disease of an asthmatic nature, but the tones were as clear as those of a bird, and, from the fact that the song was in- I to tho conclusion that sang because he wanted to, and not because he could not help it. Damage by Lightning. During the year 1891 two and five lives were lost know in the United States, of tho Rocky mountains, directly through the action of lightning. How many were lost indirectly, and how many cases there were of shat- health more or less per- injury, can only surmise. Tho financial duo directly to lightning was certainly not below one and a half million dollars. To get at something like a commercial estimate of tho damage done by lightning in tho past few years, in this country, I made of tho Chronicle fire tables for tho six years 1885-1890, and find that some twenty-two hundred and twenty- three fires, or 1.3 per cent, of the whole number, caused by lightning, and the total loss was or 1.25 per cent, of tho whole amount lost by fire. During 1892 we have a record of two and ninety-two lives lost. The damage may be estimated at as high a figure as in 1891. These losses the more appalling when we recall that the year is virtually less than six months. Over ninety-five per cent, of the casualties due to light- occur between the months of April and September. It is there- fore quite pertinent at this time to discuss the question whether or not we able to protect ourselves from lightning. Some five years ago the question would have been an- readily and with oil a good electrical connection with the earth a stout, continuous copper rod, for To-day no such answer can pass unchallenged, for reasons which we shall see.- -Popular Science The Dog's Sense It has often been proved that dogs are to track their masters through crowded streets where it would be impossible to attribute their accuracy to anything except the of smell alone. A once made interesting experiments as to this power as ex- in his own dog. In these tests the naturalist found that his dumb friend could follow in tho tracks of his master, though he was far out of sight, and that, too, after no less than eleven persons had fol- lowed, stepping exactly in made by his master, it being the de- liberate intention to confuse the senses of the dog if possible. Fur- experiments proved that the animal tracked the boots instead of the man, for when the naturalist put on new the dog failed entirely. Why He Refused.
