California claret is at last proven to
be a good fire-extinguisher. How about
California brandy ?
Henry Labouchere has always been a
Warm admirer of this country. And his
keen delight in lampooning our Crok
ers may be taken as another evidence of
his friendship.
The men accused of murdering Scott ,
the Treasurer of Holt County , Nebraska -
ka , have been acquitted. Nothing else
was expected. Among savages the taking -
ing of human life Is regarded lightly.
The marriage under the trees at
I Ridge Lawn Bay Ridge , L. I , of Miss
Bertha C. Perry and Pierre Lorillard
# r I Ronalds , Jr , attracted much attention
from its apparent newness. Many
years ago , in Central Park , Henry
Ward Beecher united a couple under
the trees , and at another time , in the
same place , a Swedenborgian or New
Church wedding made the parties
happy.
Have women a sense of humor ? During -
ing the meetings of the American and
British temperance women in London
our friend Lady Henry Somerset , who
was to have presided on one occasion ,
was absent , owing to illness produced
by overwork. Mrs. Ormiston Chant , in
taking her place , said : "Dear Lady
Henry has been overworked , and we
I
must , of course , be careful not to kill
the goose that lays the golden eggs. "
A New York exchange remarks the
advancement of the new woman. One
of its reporters testifies that he saw a
Specimen of the genus new woman descend -
scend from an elevated railway depot
and pause at the curbstone. She there
seized her nose between the thumb and
forefinger , in one time and two motions -
tions , and blew taps with a resonance
that would. have made the performer
the envy of the flowery. From this it
1s manifest that the new woman is
i under strict surveillance in New York.
1 ' Mrs. Leland Stanford will dispose of
t her collection 0f jewels , valued at over
' $500,000. Among the jewels is the famous -
ous Empress Eugenie diamond necklace -
lace , for which Mrs. Stanford paid a
fabulous price. Mrs. Stanford's action
is her desire to make the Stanford uni-
i versit5 a success. The litigation with
the government over the Stanford
: estate has tied up the income , and
; S funds are badly needed to maintain the
-S
university. In order to raise the necessary -
cessary money Mrs. Stanford will sacrifice -
rifice her jewels.
Bridgehamptlon , L. I. , is not to be en-
5 vied. A meeting held to erect a monu-

, ; : town broke up without effecting the oh-
. ject. There were some present who
opposed including the soldiers and sailors -
ors of the Revolution but in favor of
honoring those of the Mexican and the
. ' late war between the states. The Tory
feeling is not creditable to any Amen-
, - . can. Bnt'it has survived in some quarters -
ters the hundred years and more of
3 American freedom. Among our fashionables -
ionables there are descendants of Tories
who still ape everything English , you
' , know.
t :
- : - i Since Bishop Follows' success in
changing saloons into temperance resorts -
sorts in Chicago an enterprise somewhat -
what similar has been undertaken in
Buffalo. The famous "Gold Dollar
Saloon , with its gorgeous fitting , its
bar inlaid with $50 gold pieces and its
floor studded with $20 gold coins , has
now been transformed into a home for i
temperance advocates , and is owned by
a stock company of ministers and business -
ness men. The former proprietor of
the establishment has also been retained -
tained , at his own desire , and now dispenses -
penses harmless beverages instead of
ruinous liquors. Twelve hundred incandescent -
candescent lamps illuminate the in- ,
' tenor , and its walls are hung with i
works of art.

exercises of the New York Trade school

The Nebraska Reunion.
Hastings is making extensive preparations -
ations for the reunion which takes
place there on the 26th , 27th , 2Sth ,
29th , 30th and 31st of August. It is
argued that big crops in Nebraska ,
Kansas and Iowa will be the signal for
a big crowd , and so Hastings is going
to work to prepare for their entertainment -
ment , You are invited to lay aside
your business and come and hitch up
and join the procession. In the language -
guage of a circular issued to all mankind -
kind , "A weeks recreation will make a
new man of you. Your neighbors will
all be there and they will want to see
you. There will be balloon ascensions
every day and fireworks on three even-
ings. There will be four big reunions
all held at the same time. The Xe-
braska G. A. R. ; the Kansas-Nebraska
Interstate G. A. H. reunion ; the Nebraska -
braska Band Union reunion and the
Nebraska National Guards Encamp-
ment. There will be free wood , free
hay , free straw and no limit to the supply -
ply of good pure , fresh water , and
Hastings will have food on hand to feed
75,000 people three times a day , if that
mtny ; apply. Enjoy the fun and the
freedom which the boys won by their
valor on the field of battle.
The Russian Thistle Law.
The question of enforcing the provisions -
ions of the Russian thistle law in western -
ern counties , says a Sidney dispatch , is
fast becoming one of considerable im-
portance. 't'here are many hundred
thousand acres of vacant government
land and educational lands in these
western counties and as the Russian
thistle law makes no provision for the
destruction of the thistles on such lands ,
there seems no way to meet the emergency -
gency of the case. Several of the t ; est-
ern counties have practically abandoned -
ed the destruction of this pest and there
seems to be no way out of thedifliculty
unless the general government comes
to the rescue. The literal compliance
with the provisions of the law means
bankruptcy to all the western counties.

As That Place Is Further From the Scene
of the Riots Tlutu Shanghai , SYash-
ington Officials Believe That the
AttLLcks on American Missionaries -
aries Arc Ended-Infor-
mation Called For.
WASIIINGTON , Aug. 12.-A telegram
was received at the navy department
to-day announcing that Commander
Newell had sailed with the Detroit
from Shanghai to Che Foo. This latter
port is further from the scene of the
riots than Shanghai , and the navy ofli-
dals take this as indicating that the
United States authorities iii China do
not fear further outbreaks , especially
in the regon near Shanghai.
Upon receipt of the telegram. Assistant -
sistant Secretary McAdoo telegraphed
to Admiral Carpenter , advising him
that there was a great deal of apprehension -
hension here that American citizens in
China might lose their lives and property -
erty , and telling him that every possible -
sible effort should be made to protect
American citizens. He also asked the
admiral to cable him at once. the real
situation , and whether there was danger -
ger of further disturbances. Admiral
Carpenterwith the fiagship Baltimore ,
is at Nagasaki , Japan , which is about
400 miles from Shanghai across the
Japan sea , but there is no doubt that
he is well informed as to the situation.
NATURAL GAS OF AMERICA ,
The Supply Found in Many Sections , but
StcadIly Decreasing in Amount.
WasulxGTox , Aug. 12. TIme natural
gas industry is fully reviewed in the
annual report of the geological survey.
The most important gas fields now are
those of Western Pennsylvania , Western -
ern New York , Northwestern Ohio and
Central Indianabutgas hasbeen found
in commercial quantities also in Arkansas -
sas , California , Illinois , Kansas , Kentucky -
tucky , Louisiana , Missouri , South
Dakota , , Tennessee , Utah , West
Virginia , Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The highest actually observed pressure -
sure has been about S00 pounds to the
square inch , closed pressure. In all
districts the pressure has increased
steadily and materially. Heretofore
natural gas could be easily carried in
pipes for long distances under its own
pressure. but now in most places artificial -
ficial means must be used to drive it to 1 l
the place where it is needed. No f
statement of the amount of natural
gas consumed has ever been given anal
the report says it is not possible to
make one. The amount has been .
greatly reduced within the last few i
years by the cutting off of the enormous -
mous waste that existed , while improved -
proved appliances have doubled the 1
efficiency of what is used. The total t
value of that t
consumed in 1c94 was
nearly $1.4,000,000. This is a steady '
decrease from when s
1SSS , the value
was $22,500,000.

TRADE UNUSUALLY BRISK ,
Dusness Continues Active Without a
Slgn pt Reaction.
NEw Yonlc , Aug. 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade- says :
, Business continues unusually active
for midsummer , and , though there is
no perceptible relaxation , there are no
signs of reaction. The one change of
great importance which the past week
has brought is eminently helpful-the
amicable settlement between coal
miners and employers in Western
Pennsylvania , Ohio and Indiana. It
is said that about 100,000 men will have
their wages increased after October :
by this adjustment , and , while the en-
Iargoment of purchasing power is of
consequence , it seems even more important -
portant that a chronic cause of controversy -
troversy has been removed by the new
agreement as to company stores.
There is no important change in crop
prospects , and at this time no news is
eminently good news.
Speculation has been more successful -
ful in cotton than in any other product -
duct during the past week , and has
lifted the price an eighth. Wheat has
declined a fraction , with very scanty
transactions , the extremely small
western receipts influencing the market -
ket for the present more than the restricted -
stricted exports. The concerted withholding -
holding of wheat by western farmers ,
if continued , will doubtless affect the
price in the end , but it has
already stopped Atlantic exports -
ports almost entirely , the amount ,
flour ineludedhaving been only 753,330
bushels for the past week , against
,980,430 bushels for the same week
last year , and when foreign markets
have supplied their needs from other
quarters , the Western farimiers may
find reason to regret that they did not
ship their wheat at the original time.
Corn tends to lower prices , with snore
encouraging prospects , and the expectation -
pectation of a heavy corn crop affects
prices of provisions , as might be ex-
pected.
Sales of wool are not as much inflated -
flated by speculation as they were during -
ing the first half of .July , but they still
considerably exceed the actual consumption -
sumption in time manufacture , amounting -
ing at the three chief markets to
0,259,300 pounds. Prices arc very firm.
Some staple cotton goods have again
advanced in price , and the market is
unusually strong for the season.
OLNEY FOR THE BENCH.
said to be Clevelurd's First Choice to
Succeed Jackson.
WASIIINGTON , Aug. 12.-Thera is
much speculation as to who will be
President Cleveland's choice for the
United States supreme court bench to
succeed time late Justice Jackson , but
beyond the mention of available names
there is little of a definite nature this
early.
There are persons , however , whose
relations with the president arc

FOR SILVER AT 16 TO l.
wo Declare Mlssouri lemoerats in Sata ;
Convention.
I'EITLE SPRINGS , Mo. , Aug.Tho
Missouri Democracy has deciared without -
out equivocation for time free and un-
ltmited coiuaee of silver at the ratio of
it ; to 1. The strongest resolutions ,
looking to that cnd were passed by the
state convention amid a storm of
cheers , and practically without a dissenting -
senting voice. Further yet , the convention - A
vention , by an overwhelming majority -
ity , toted to reorganize the state corn-
mittee , and nineteen new members. ( +
have been added to it , all considered
to be heart and soul for the =
white metal. The fifteen old.
members whom , whether right-
] v or wrongly the silver men ,
laud considered committed to the sound
utoney doctrine , 13 to 2 , now finds- i
itself purely an ornamental appen- I
loge to a soaring majority. 't'here
are rumors that possibly thirteen of
the old committee will decline to' . '
serve longer , but it is scarcely likely 1
that they will resign , as that action +
would merely fix the silver men still I
more firmly in the saddle. In spite of !
these revolutionary proceedings the ,
work of the convention has been characterized -
acterized by most remarkable bar- ,
mommy. If the convention faithfully
represents the Democratic party of
the state , then beyond question 75 per i
cent of the party are out and out silver
men.
The convention began its business
with Silver Dick" Bland at the helm.
The organization was perfected without -
out friction and silver resolutions were i ,
drawn and adopted and the reorgani- + f
nation of the state central committee
was decided upon by a vote of 493 to '
O ; ; . Time plan of reorganization agreed '
uI ton was that suggested by the con-
ba
servatives , which called for the doub- , m.
lirg of t.e : old committee , only four 1 '
additional cornmittecnten elected from 1 1 ' :
time state at large by the convention j
were added. 'T'his mmmalws the new committee -
mittee certainly for silver , but as if i
this were not enough , the convention
went further and so bound time new ,
central organization by resolutions as '
to the conventions to be held next
year , that even were it as hostile as
possible to the ivliite metal , its hostility -
ity would be futile.
In the evening the convention sent
greetings to the Democratic state conventions -
ventions in session in Mississippi and i
Iowa , exhorting them to stand firmly
for free silver and 1G to 1. It also sent '
a personal tribute to Senutor Joe i 1 1
Blackburn of Kentucky complimenting '
him on his fight for silveragainst over.
