Where access can be had to small sized hardy shrubs, there are several kinds which flower beautifully in ordinary windows, requiring but little warmth to start them intogrowth, after they have had a short autumn rest. The following list is a desirable one: Dentzia, gracilis, Viburnum plicutum, Jasininum rrudiflorum, Forsythia viridissima, Dhpline mezeretim, Exochorda grandiflara, Spirrea reevesii and Weigeha rosea.

Some of the begonias, such as saundersi and fuchsioides, pretty in both leaf and flower, often prove excellent window plants. In the way of vines, a few should be had perhaps to be twined on strings along thesides of the windows. The common English ivy, the Seneeio scaudens and nasturtiums are useful for this purpose. according to a writer in The Rural New Yorker. The Chrysanthemum.

In a retrospective view of chrysanthemums American Gardening reports an increased number of exhibitions, with more numerous attendance than ever and more satisfactory results financially than the previous season. Commercially, however, the chrysanthemum has not done so well, especially in the New York market. Never before have blooms been sold at wholesale for so low a figure. This was owing to overproduction and the strange policy of handling simply white, yellow and pink and these nearly all of one type—viz, huge reflexing or mop beaded flowers. The- effect of this has been nauseating, and the public has refused them.

The Unspeakable Turk.

The unspeakable Turk began to be the sick man 130 years ago. He has been very sick indeed several times since_ This time it really does look as if he was sick unto death. But I don't know. Perhaps it is only another attack from which be will rally. Perhaps before these words are printed he may be in extremis. For many reasons we must of course ardently desire his removal, bag and baggage, with all that is his, and as ardently we must desire that he may never come back again. Yet we must agree that he has made the most picturesque history possible. What are the wars of England and France compared with the wars between one Christian poWer after another with the grand Turk? His cruelties, hi, despotism, his harem, his galleys and galley slaves, his famous bodyguard, are they not all pietures in the page of history? Surely some gratitude is duo to the Moslem for those things. He fights like a bulldog ; he sacks towns and murders every man, woman and child in them ; his virtues .are our vices; he practices things yrhich we abhor ; you can never hope to make a Christian of him; out of all the western arts he takes only those which minister to his pleasures. In fact, everything that goes to the making of a picture is to be found in the life, the character and the history of the Turk. Let him go by all means. I suppose that as soon as the powers are agreed upon the future of Constantinople he will go. But when will that agreement arrive? And, to repeat, I doubt once more whether the sick man is really sick unto death.— Walter Besant in London Queen.

MARLOWE'S FAUST.

NEW REGENT!

Prof. 11. 6. Moulton Analyzes and Illuminates the Old Drama. An audience of fair size and excellent

quality assembled at the First Congregational church last night, to hear Prof. R. G. Moulton, of Chicago University, lecture upon "Marlowe's Faust, Thought About the Loss of a Soul." His lecture was in large part descriptive, its analysis of the characters and play keenly discriminating, copiously illustrated with recitations from Marlowe's drama. given with good elocutionary effect. He" pleased his audience, receiving an attentive hearing and appreciative applause. • He presented the matter in the outset divided into three thoughts, the thought of gaining the whole world. the thought of a market for souls, and the thought of losing the soul. Some of the things he said, the ideas rather than the words in which he clothed them,-were in substance as follows: Marlowe's play belongs to the medieval drama, and was constructed .for presentation out of doors, as well as in, plays being then given to the crowds in the market places or streets. To the people in those days the thopght of actually selling the soul to the -devil was as natural as to us would be a conimutation ticket. In fact when Faust sold his soul for delivery at the expiration of 21 years it was a sort of commutation, and in the meantime he was to receive munity from many real or fancied ills, paying for all this - with his soul at the allotted time. One thing worth noting about such a bargain is the fact that people cannot use the whole world if they get it. Of all its eatables they cannot devour more than before, but simply have an almost infinite power of selection. The play was written in the transition period, and the man portrayed was medieval, but the spirit was not, for Mephistopheles is not the spirit with horns, hoofs and tail of older times. A chbrus-master in black gown and garb came before the curtain to give the prologue, and thisppersonage also closed the performance after the last regular scene. It was noticeable that the good and bad spirits strove with Faust earnestly, the good ones receding later when the man became hardened, but never ceasing their watch over him. When Christ was mentioned it was the fiends who believed and trembled. while the man took on the mocking hardihood of the skeptic. In one scene Faust seemed about to yield to the better angels when instantly the room became full of pres ences more horrible than any which had preceded them, and the chief announced himself as Lucifer. Faust mentioned Christ, but Lucifer said Christ was just and would not aid Faust in breaking his solemn obligation. The third act was the culmination. and evinced high art. It is the property of art that nothing_ is too horrible, nothing too insignificant to be beautified bg its magic touch. Out of crime and passion it makes sublime tragedy, out of men's errors and mistakes comedy emerges at its command. In this manner art beautified the closing scenes in Marlowe's drama. In this case we know just how it was done. being patterned after a part ' of the book of Job. That book is worth study as a literary masterpiece. In one place God is described as speaking out of the whirl wind, but for two chapters the book has been leading up toward that point, and Elihu has been'speaking of the rain, the clouds, the fleeing of the beasts in preparation for the storm. Then comes the whirlwind and the voice of God. In the drama Faust watches for hours the approach of the great storm in which at midnight his soul is to be conveyed to hell. Ile sees the creeping up of the clouds, the obscuration of the kers, the lurid flashes of distant lightning, notes the drowning of his agonized pleas in the thunder, andthen as the clock strikes sees revealed by the lightning's flash the fiend waving triumphantly the bond whieh, 24 years before, he signed with his blood. As R finale angels rescue from the fiend all of Faust that is really immortal and bear it heavenward. The lecturer drew many lessons from the incidents of the drawees he proceeded, his portrayals of characters and scenes being vivid and at times evincing marked dramatic power. As a whole the lecture was strong, symmetrical, artistic and convincing.

The Muskegon county fair will be hetd in this city September 15, 16, 17 and 18, Isi16. It will be the greatest fair ever seen in this county, judging from the present prospects. all of which are deci dedly encouraging. The executive committee of the Muskegon county fair association met Last evening. All the members of this COEil. mittee were present, as follows: C. L. Brundage, A. P. Conner, W. H. Barney, Frank Alberta and L. A. Smith. The dates for holding the fair were considered and finally it was decided that the fair should continue four days, from September 15 to 18. It was thought best to pick out the dates early, so that other fairs would not necessarily cause a clash by deciding on the same dates, The committee was also anxious* to adopt the dateaat this time so as to give the farmers and exhibitors plenty 41 .3 0: opportunity to make preparations for exhibits. The following officers of the fair were chosen for 1396: President -J. C. Ford, of Fruitport. Secretary-S. H. Stevens, of this city. Treasurer E. W. Thayer. of this city. C. L. Brundage and W. H. Barney Were designated a committee to appear before the Farmers' Institute and suggest that the farmers get together and select committeemen from among the stockgrowerm. fruit growers, etc., to as gist in selecting competent superintend. ents for the different departments and also in the preparation of a premium list. The desire is to have! a premium list this year which shall 'be as near original as can be, and meetEng the particular requirements of this county as much as possible: - Some departments-especially stock and fruitwill begreatly edlarged, so many having last year expressed their determination of bringing in- more exhihits and making these departinents more in teresting. Many new features will be added, the aim being to have all departments filled with the best exhibits. That the Muskegon fair of 1896 will be a great one is already a certaiaty. The fair last year was such a signal success that the way is already well paved for the 1896 fair. It is the aim of the executive committee and the officers to start the ball rolling early and to have all the matters well under way by the lime spring comes. The committee appointed to present the matter of the fair to the farmers Rncl their wives at the Farmers' Institute was named at this time in order te.) in tercet them early in the matter, and it is the intention also to enlarge the premiums for live stock in'order to make the entry of such an object and necure a large representation from the farms. The executive committee in thuktaking time - by the forelock shows that it is wide awake and aliVe to the best interests of the county and the association. "FOR FAIR VIRGINIA!'

MR. FARR TO SERVE THE EIGHT YEARS TERM WHICH BEGAN JAN, 1.

The Appointment a Particularly Good One in all Respects.

HAS A LARGE ACQUAINTANCE AND 'WILL SERVE WITH CREDIT. .

Resided In Grand Haven Many Years, and has Represented this District in the State Senate and Held Other Responsible Positions. •

Lansing; Mich., January 11.-Gov. John T. Rich this morning appointed George A. Farr, the well known attorney of Grand Haven, as a regent of the University of Michigan in place of Charles H. liackley, of Muskegon. The term is eight years. Mr. Ilackley's term was to begin January 1, 1896, but he forwarded his resignation on January 2. Goy. Rich tried to prevail upon Mr. Hackley to withdraw his letter of resignation, but the ex-regent replied that he could not recede from the position he had taken and that the original reasons given for taking the step still existed. George A. Farr was born Jnly 27, 1842, in Niagara county, N. Y. In 1851 he removed with his parents to Monroe county, Mich. In 184;1-19 years of age -he enlisted in the Adrian cadets, and was inthe first battle of Bull Run. He then enlisted in the fourth U. S. artillery, and served through the war, leaving the service as first sergeant of artillery. He graduated from the Agricultural College in 1870. Having been admitted to the bar soon afterwards, he removed to Ottawa county, where he now resides. Mr. Farr has always been an active Republican and represented this district In thestate senate in 1879-'81-'82, and has besides held important offices of trust and dim:thatRed the duties thereof to the satisfaction of his constituents and • wit,h credit to himself. He has a large acquaintance all over the state and there is no question but what the appointment will meet with general approval. The general expectation all along was that Gov. Rich would till the vacancy by appointing a Western Michigan man, and this expectation has been fulfilled. The appointment is .a good one. There were a large number of candidates for the place, but by his action Gov. Rich demonstrates that Western Michigan was entitled to the appointment. AS 10 THO.SE TAX CASES. Pomition of the Auditor General's Department on Question of Future Males. A gentleman who is familiar with the

correspondence between City Attorney Hoyt and the auditor general remarked in the office of THE CHRONICLE today that "Lawyer," in the issue of Jan. :3, evidently misunderstood the position of the auditor general's department in the matter of tax sales which are set aside because of jurisdictional questions relating to the decree of sale. The auditor general is incorrectly quoted as saying that in such cases the lands "can be again advertised and again sold under the old decree." The position of the auditor general's department is that when a sale has been set asqle for the reason before stated, the sithation is exactly as though no decreebid been entered or no sale made, and that the land will be included in the next petition Bleck, with the eurt and a valid decree will be sought to be obtained, and under authority of such later decree (publication having been made as a condition pfecedent) sale will again be made. Judge Russell has held that the sales of December 1893 and of 1891 are void because of a defect in the designation of the paper and in several cases where action was taken for this purpose he has set aside the sales. But it should be remembered that the only effect of setting aside the sales is to give the delin quent tax-payer a little more time to pay his taxes. It does not set aside the taxes. As several suits have been brought where the taxes amounted to little if any more than the expense of the action it is fair to presume that the parties supposed they were securing a release of the taxes; but such would not be the result. "Lawyer" says that the legislature may pass an act providing for a new pro ceeding to foreclose and sell, but he doubts if such an act would be eenstitutional. If he will read the general tax law, or examine the petitions and proceedings in any sale heretofore made he will find that until a description has been sold it is subject to sale. A sale which is held to be invalid is a nullity . Theptionsfralwchdtin dude descriptions far taxes of other and previous years (ante dating the taxes which compose the larger part of the tax received for the current year) are the exception, and these prior years are in large part taxes for which sales have been set aside for j urisd ictional defects,or for such reason as that the sale was not perfected by being reported to the court as the the law requires. The foregoing are the points of THE CHRONICLE'S informant, who is probably as familiar with tax matters as any man in the state.

It is understood the president upon insists annulling the convention of '81, and that the A matong lately added to the territory of the colony of Natal be annexed to the Boer republic as an indemnity for Dr. Jameson's raid into the Transvaal. There are also signs that the Orange Free State and Transvaal government will make common cause against England, should there be further trouble, and the report of a secret understanding between Germany and the Transvaal continues undenied in official circles. The frequently repeated assertion that England had purchased Delagoa Bay from Portugal is still unconfirmed and uncontradicted.

An Irish Hone Show.

I saw a horse show at a little place called Moate-which, however, once gave a night's shelter to Cromwell-at which I'wits greatly impressed, IRA Only by the lepping-Anglice, jumping-but by the quality of the animals, the horsemanship of the riders and the extraordinary interest and enthusiasm displayed by the company, which consisted for the most part of gossoons, sitting in their hundreds on a stone wall that girt the inclosure, and giving forth a Celtic yell as the horses shirked, cleared or missed their jump. There was one handsome and likely looking mare that, no doubt from want of duo preparation for this particular kind of trial, was among those who elected the first course. Her name was Dairymaid, and I overheard the observation behind me: "Dairymaid, is it? Ah, well I She'd better go home and make bootter. She's no good here." In England young colts at grass are nearly always out in smooth pastures. In Ireland they are among rocks and stones and broken and sloping ground, and thus acquire a better use of their legs betinles. Possibly the lime in the subsoil is good for their bones, and assuredly the soft, moist climate is all in their favor. Irish horses have better 'tempers, and, therefore, have better manners than English horses, in consequence, no doubt, of the gentler and more patient treatment they receive.

" Impossible 1" said the unsuspecting butcher, who fancied one of his tongues was off, and seizing a chopper he rushed out of the shop after the supposed dog thief. Getting a glimpse of one of the canine race hat answering the given, he ade full chase, but riP t eight of the an'mal at a corner ere a crowd of hangers • are always be found loitering.

"You stupid man! Did you ever see a black dog without a tongue in its month?"

EXPERT,. say that since, President Cleveland took the helm this time in national affairs, deficits actually created or made unavoidable by his policy will up to date exceed 82•12,0(X),000. American voters will not pay as big a price fOr their neit lesson, as this one has bean thoroughly learned. .1 The putting of tire escapes on the Amazon factory is a reminder that there are buildings in Muskegon without such, though in them -often congregale -evening audiences, connected with the earth only by winding wooden stairways. Some of thuse do not stand as menumente to a wise forethought, but may come time recall its opposite.

If Mule roads in Detroit made money at five cents when. that-city had halt its present population, a modern electric road should be able to make money on three. 'The reduction. is coming, and cannot begin too soon. It is worth remembering that when consulted this week upon -the matter, the members of both the house and senate. foreign affairs committees declared for arbitration of all vexed questions arising between the United States aid England except such as are properly the concern of but one country. That spirit will not only go far toward preventing war, but also to prevent occasions 'for quarrels, as both countries will know: •rbitrators would decide against unfairness or aggression. THE fact that freight accumulates' at Wisconsin porta. faster than steamboats can bring it across. or railroads on this side handle it for prompt. transmission eastward. is a good - sign. It proves the need of two' or three trunk lines rurining direct from Muskegon to the Atlantie coast. Lake Michigan, but SO miles wide and directly between the populous west and more populous east. is destined to become a great ferry, and those ports best fitted for that purpose will benefit most. This city has every natural advantage, lacking only those 'which can be acquired, and these it should - ,not wait for long. It should keep itsleading position. _

THE increase of insanity cannot hut create deep interest and grave apprehersion. Its strongholds are those states in which high pressure mental strain unites with ceaseless business activities in Annbining worry and work. People like the Indians and- negroes. who for generations past haye not pushed their brains to abnormal development, Keera to suffer least from this peril. There mast be a remedy and it shindd be applied. Says a noted brain expert: "It is because the negro race • has hitherto been but little affected by in. sanity that the proportiou of the insane is so small in our former slave states: and it is because the Irish and Scandi navian races are pecularily liable to i 1sanity that the proportion is so great where those make a large element in the population." • IF it is true, as reports have it, 'that --England has purchased , Delagoa bay from Portugal. that may only aid to the seriousness of the complications. Germany and the other continental powers will look with even greater jealousy upon England's gaining such an advant age as the possession of this strategic harbor would give. If there is to hi any change in Dolan bay Gertna6y and the powers interested on her side will de wand that it be opened for all on equal • armo and not be monopolized by England. The 'ported devevopments of the South Arleen muddle only, em' blem phasize the seriousness of the pro before the great poirers, but there is no likelihood of war in the near future. For the present, however, the diplomats will be kept busy. THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE.

The State Farmers Institute to be bald at the court house next Tuesday and Wednesday will be an occasion of DO small importance. It is designed to be of great interest rind practical value to the agricultural intereets. of the county. Able lecturers will he provided by the state to speak on important topics. The institute is for the entire county and it is expected that there will be a good attendance of the men and women and the young people of the farms. This city should welcome the institute and do all within its power to make it a success. Our citizens should show their interest in the agrioulture and horticulture of the county by attending the meetings. A cordial weh come should be extended to our visitors from the townships. It is to our inter-

est to cultivatera more neighborly feeling between city and county. Our merchants will miss a golden opportunity if they do not show more than an indifferent interest in these meetings and the people attending them. Let our citizens turn out in large numbers and help to make chin institute the means for promoting good fellowship be tween city and country cousins, for winning the friendship and trade of the farmers of the county. If this is done Muskegon will score a strong point in a direction along which we have made too slow progress in the past. CORN. While attention is being drawn so largely to South Africa by the Transvaal troubles and the gold mining craze it is appropriate to refer tv the fact that the United States appears to be indebted to the Kaffir country for a new kind of grain that promiees to become . a most valuable addition to our food producing Amts. This is known as Kaffir corn. It was introduced into America (rem South Africa less than ten years ago but has met with such favor -with farmers, particularly in the arid regions of the west, that in Kansas alone, according to the report just issued by the State Board of Agriculture of that state, 184,198 acres of Katlir corn were raised in 1895, yielding 639,993 tons, valued at $1,686,389. The plant se6ms to be especially adapted to the dry states of the west. where it is found to flourish in all localities and under all conditions and mature a crop in the driest and hottest seasons. Its habit is thus described: "It will grow luxuriantly on the sod of newly broken ground, produce tine crops either on bottom or upland, is a natural enemy of weeds, and will be as clean with two cultivations as Indian corn will be with four times as many. It is rather slow in germinatinss and getting a start of growth, but correspondingly sure, re. quiring no rains to sprout it; and when once under way it grows right along. cloudy weather -or bright, drouth or rain. hot winds or northers, all being the same to it and seemingly of equal benefit to its growth." As Kaffir corn is introduced it is found to be a most admirable feed either to winter stock or to fatten them for mar ket, and it is claimed to be better for horses than either corn or oats. Not only is the grain so valuable but the fodder obtaiined from the stalks and luxuriant leaves is said to be as valuable for live stock as the bedt of hay. It is found that hogs will fatten on the new corn faster than on the common kind while it is also a great food for poultry. More than this it Is being extensively ground into meal and flour which make bread and other articles of food that are pronounced sweet, palatable and wholesome. It is claimed that half the mills along the southern border of Kansas and two-thirds of those in Oklahatna are now turning out Kaffir flour and meal. A writer in the Chicago Chronicle, who is evidently very enthrdastic over the discovery of a food plant that promises so much, concludes his description of the plant and its uses with the follow. ing suggestive words: "With the wonderful and manifold uses of this new product, with the assurance of a profitable use for every pr lion of it, with its sure growth whether planted early or late, on the driest ground, with the possibility of two sucressful crops from the same ground, either by planting upon ground from which wheat has been harvested, or planting early and cutting off the head as soon as matured, resulting in the formation of three smaller, but perfect heads. with a crop that remains green until December, and can be gathered at will any time threughout the fall or early winter, and with an assured yield of from 40 to 100 bushels an acre, what more can the farmer want, whether in a climate wet or dry—east, west, north or south? "Kaffir corn has come to stay, and the American farmer in any part of the nation who fails to appreciate its work and take advantage of its great opportunities, will surely find himself in the lurch in the reckoning of the years to tome." If half that is thus said of Kaffir corn' is true it promises to be especially adapted to the sandy lands of Michigan. THE CHRONICLE suggests to the farmers of Muskegon county to secure some seed of this new plant and experiment with it during the cowing season. It may prove as great a bonanza for Michigan's sandy leads as it has for the arid plains of western Kansas. KAFFIR

Holland, Mich., January 9.—A very unique wedding took place here yesterday at the home of Dr. 0. E. Yates. The contracting parties were Czar Giddings, aged 76, brother of the late exGovernor Marsh Giddingsof New Mexico, and the bride who is about 74 years of age, is Nancy Fairbanks, sister of Isaac Fairbanks , of this city, and mother of Mrs. Dr. 0. E. Yates. This is the second time Mr. Giddings has led his bride to the altar.

A Pure Type of a Doctor.

In the first part we have a general view of the doctor's daily experience, his appearance and methods of dealing with his patients. In the secondpart we have an account of a succesioful surgical operation upon a woman, whose husband was too poor to send for a surgeon. The doctor succeeded, though, in getting a neighbor, who was a man of some means (and the same one who assisted in sending George Howe to the university) interested in her behalf and to promise to pay the bill of the most distinguished, surgeon in the university, some distance away, to come and perform the operation. The doctor telegraphed for him and met him at the nearest station. -Through the Flood" is an account of their fording a stream, on their way to the woman's home. '1,6eoperation was successful and the woman recovered. Before the surgeon left, he learned through the neighboring woman who had come in to act as nurse, the difficulty the doctor had in making the arrange went to pay for his services, and when on the following morning the doctor bade the surgeon good byeat the station and handed him a check for his services. the great surgeon refused absolutely to take it and tore it up.

It is an uncommon thing to learn of persons reaching the age of Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell, and yeargof good health such as hers come only to those who make use of the very best means of keeping well. No one will wonder that the brighteyed old lady, whose mind today is as alert and clear as ever, should be anxious for others to try Paine's celery compound. Mrs. Ernyle Hyde Grinnell was born in Bennington, Vt., July 6, 1796. and is today living with her granddaughter, the wife of Martin Fowler. of Colthester, Vt., a beautiful town near Fort Ethan Allen. Her father was a farmer and hotel keeper, and she lived upon the farm until her marriage. Mrs. Grinnell has none of the infirmities of old age. She rises at daylight, works about the house, and when the weather will permit walks' outdoors. Her eyesight is so good that she threads a needle, and spenda many hours crocheting and doing fancy work.

Nine times have the denttens in the vale of Deseret knocked at Uncle Sam's door before- heating the welcome "Como in!" and in the meantime '13 states have entered, every one of which was behind Utah at the start.. Salt Lake City had 5,000 inhabitants when Yerba Buena was startled by the gold discovery and began its rapid transformation into San Francisco; the site of Denver -was a sagebrush desert 11 years after Brigham Young and the 143 Mormon pioneers located Temple block v the Indians owned all of Kansas, save the mi1iary eserves, when the gray granite f undations of the great Mormon temple w just above ground, while ttettled 10 4'a was but 40 miles wide, Minnesota was a Sioux hunting ground, all west of it and north of the Kaw was unorganized territory, Arizona was but a narrow desert. strip, and Oklahoma had not been dreamed of. Children born of English parents in Salt Lake City have long been grandmothers, and a native of that city, son of a Manxman and Ill:um:ion president, is soon to be Utah's first senator.

There they were visited by Colonel Thomas L. Kane of the United States army, and at his Bugger,skin Brigham Young raised the famous Mormon battalion of 500 men for the Mexican war. They marched in the Kearny and Doniphan expedition and from the lower Rio Grande across the desert and menntains- to San Diego. Major John D. Lee, afterward notorious for his part in the Mountain meadow Massacre, told me while I - Was at his retreat on the Colorado in 1812 how he and Major Howard Egan went with the battalion to Santa Fe and receivt34 there the bounty mid first payment, amounting to $20,000, which Lee and Egan took back to Brigham Young to be used In outfitting for the journey' to Utah. The battalion was put in the command of Colonel Philip St. GeorgeCooke, and long afterward the Mormons used to tell, with a glow of pride, that his attachment to these soldiers was so great that when he entered Salt LakaCity, in 1858, with the United States army he rode with his head uncovered. A company of 246 pioneers bad already been sent around from New York under Colonel Samuel Brannan. They reached Yerba Buena in time to aid the revolution against Mexican rule, and, the diaoovery of gold following soon, Brannan eemained and became a very wealthy man, While the Mormons scattered and worked their way through to Utah.

Many a time have I sat by cabin fires in remote villages of Utah and heard old men and women tell how the people rose as one man and haw Brigham was then truly the lion, of the Lord.

A spirit of wild fanaticism 'followed and a fearful period, known as the- "reformation, " during which the "blood atonement" doctrine Was preached and occasionally enforoed.

Wheat is about one cent higher, and corn the same. without distinct reason in either case. The industrial situation has not materially changed. There is much hesitation in. 'he iron business. with some advance in Bessemer pig because of the expectation that Connellsville coke and lake ore will both be dearer. and yet finished products of iron and steel are -on the whole quoted a little lower. Everything turns on the contracts for ore which are still unsettled, but the great excess In production of pig iron over the present demand is no longer denied, and it is expected that quite a number of the furnaces will presently discontinue production. -in hoots and shoes the average of prices is a shade lower. Leather is a little lower, but hides are on the whole about five per cent. stronger at Chicago, with scanty offerings. The demand for hootwand shoes falls far behind expectations, and many shops have been closed for a time. "The volume of domestic trade Indicated by payments through the principal clearing-houses shows the usual large increase of 14.8 per cent. over last year, but in comparison with the same week in 1893. shows a decrease of 13.1 per cent. Part of this difference must be attributed to the obrinkage in prices, but there is also without doubt a considerable decrease in the distribution of goods to final consumers. "Liabilities in f !lures for the first two days of January amounted to 8918.795, of of manufacturing and which 8240,407 we $676.358 of trading concerns. -Failures for the Week have been 431 in the United States, against 420 last year, and 63 in Canada, against 54 last year."

London, Jan. 1L-The report that Di. Jameson had been released turns owe to have been premature. ' Presidenlif Kruger, in reply to the message of Queen Victoria, says that he intends to tarn Dr. Jameson and the other English prisoners who took part in the raid over to the British government for ishment, but la dispateh from Jotnn esburg states that the surender Of the prisoners will be made conditional on the abrogation of the AngloBoe• convention of 1884. which gives Great Britain suzerainty over the .

Ileuch a condition as thi.stis imposed by the Boers it is quite certain that Great Britain w 11 never agree to it: The government is determined to Uphold this conven ion in all its term and although the rail svaa I government may urge that Dr, Jameson's rai ll made the conve tion null and void, is pretty safe to ay that Great Britarn will never acceP that view of the matter unless she i compelled to do sp. To abrogate the onvention now would be to acknowle ge that the reported . attitude of Ern ror William anent the Transvaal . is cot ect, and the terriPer Of the English peo sle to-day is not such as to allow the overnment to concede this even - were it disposed to do se.

IN THE LOCAL FIELDS. HE HAS DEPARTED. Bathe Creek Officers Now want "S. A. Hapgenings in Muskegon and Vicinity— -

McLaughlin" but He is Gone.

Society and Personal Paragraphs.

The.fellow who gave his name as S. A. McLaughlin and who was detained here by the officers yesterday, evidently did not linger long in the city after his release. He did not return to his boarding place, rhaving settled up- with the landlady in the morning. Last night sheriff Smith received a telegram from the Battle Creek officers asking that "McLaughlin" be held, but the man had been released. The local authoritiesdid not feel warranted in keeping him in 'durance vile until the Battle Creek offi•Cere concluded whether they wanted him or not. • The dispateh read: "Sheriff: /Man chart cloak factory gave no name here. • About 28 Years old, tall, light complexion, tro grips. If there arrest at sight and wire the. A. B. Powell deputy sheriff." I, "McLaughlin was detained here for *tempting a scheme he worked successfully in Battle Creek and Jackson. His method was to advertise for ten girls to do sewing and when they applied for work they were informed that they must 'purchase a chart first which tie sold for $3.50 and after they had become proficient enough he would give them employment in a cloak factory he was about to start in this city, Needless to say that it was he and not the factory which started—to pastures new. lie made a full confession to the officers of the fraud he had, committed in Battle Creek. Jackson' and Muskegon. In this city,-though, he had returned the mooey.he had received for one of his charts and the parties themselves did not seem to care to prosecute.

This is the way the Cadillac News. Express looks at it: Hon. C. H. Hackley. of Muskegon, who was elected regent of the University last spring, has resigned that office before assuming any official duties. Mr. Beckley evidently merely desired the fun of being elected by a large majority'. On the city hay f cales yesterday eight loads of hay, one load of corn and one load of oats were weighed. The hay was sold for $14.50 per ton, the corn. which was shelled, for 38 cents per bushel and the oats. of which there were 82 1 ; bushels, for 23 cents per bushel. Yesterday secretary C. E. Whitney of the Farmers Institute society received the last instructions in regard tq the Farmers' Institute to be held here 13ext week, thus closing up the matter as far as preliminary arrangements, are concerned. Mr. Slatterly, of Moorland, was in the/ city yesterday and said that he expects to see a large number of Moorland peppermint farmers attend the Farmers' Institute to be held hertJanuary 14 and 15. S.

ODD FACTS ABOUT MADAGASCAR, The Policemen Sleep ea Their Beats — The Curfew la of Ancient Use.

Probably the sleepiest policemen in the world are these of Madagascar. At Antananarivo, the capital, there is little evidence of the force . by day, for its members are all peacefully wrapped in slumber.- At night, too, the guardian of property is seldom to be seen, and that he is actually guarding is only to be told by the half hourly cry that is sent up to police post No. 1 alongside the royal palace. "Watchman, what of the night?" "We are wide awake, keeping t•sharp lookout, and all's well." Antananarivo has no lamps atm streets. It is simply a great collection of houses tumbled together. There is a big force of night police, known as the "watch.'I The men gather themselves together into groups, and choosing snug corners, wrapping themselves in straw mats, they drop into 164 and profound slumber. One member of each group remains awake to respond to the half houily call from the palace. As he calls back, the others, half awake, mechanically shout back the response. It makes little difference, however, that the police continually sleep, for robbery is rare. Curfew, though popularly supposed to be purely an early English and Norman-French custom, has been established in Madagascar for centuries. In every town and village between 9 and 10 the watchmen go around shouting out in the Malagasy dialect, "Lights out!" and they see that all is in darkness in every house. After these hours no one is allowed to travel around without a special pass. There is no criminal code of any account, and when a min is caught in the act of stealing the if palace is apt to ignore the police and surround him and stone him to death. The Madagascans have no "swear words(' in their language, and when their feelings are overwrought against a man the only thing they can do is to execute summary vengeance on him.—New York World.

YOU IIAVEoften been .asked this question, but have von ever realized its serious meaning! If you were 'asked it at this very moment , could you candidly reply "I ant feeling quite well rt Might you not be forced to answer "I am not feeling so Well as I ought to feel ?"
