The river was pretty rough yesterday and was in no better condition today. The steamer Corcoran made two trips to Mount Vernon yes- terday and carried a large number of visitors from Brooklyn to the tomb of Washington. The steamer Lady of the Lake arrived here on time this morning from Norfolk. During the trip the bay was not rough. but this morn- ing just as the steamer reached the mouth of the river it encountered a heavy wind.

The City’s Ability to Carry Out the Enterprise According to Promises. The following leading editorial in the Chi- cago Morning News this morning is telegraphed from that city. It is entitled “Chicago will fulfill her pledges,” and says: “Many absurd rumors have been put in cir- culation in the last’ few days concerning Chi- cago’s present attitude toward the Columbian exhibition,which has been virtually awarded to her by Congress, They represent the citizen's committee a3 being in doubt on the subject of the city’s ability to carry out the great enter- prise according to her pledges, It is sufficient to say that no such doubt or shadow of doubt exists. All reports to the contrary are fabri- cated by petty minds that, having snffered de- feat, now seek to kill the exhibition, which has been placed beyond their reach, “Itis certain that the quadri-centennial fair will be held and that it will be held in Chicago. ‘Though valuable time is being wasted—through no fault of hers—Chicago stands prepared to! build in two years a greater fair than the | world has yet seen. Should Congress decide to postpone the opening until 1893 Chicago will use the added year of preparation to make the fair a still grander success. But this city asks for no postponement. “At Washington Chicago outbid all her com- petitors. To say that this great municipality will not fulfill her every pledge with the utmost exactitude is to cast unwarranted aspersion on her honor. With # bona fide fund of at least 5,000,000 and with a ready method at hand of raising another 35,000,000 there is absolutely no ground for doubting her ability to make her pledges good. ; “The way to success in the vast undertaking is perfectiy clear. The sneer that Chicago hesi- tates as to her future course is as foolish as it is iulse. This city has no request to make of Congress save for authority to move forward at once with the construction of the great inter- national fair, The necessary appropriation for a government exhibit concerns her 20 more than it concerns the nation, “Chicago will carry out to the letter every pledge wich she has made. The personnel of the commitiee that started for Washington yesterday to conter with the members of Con- gress in regard to the terms of the perfected world’s fair bill is a sufficient guaranty that the a will not be found lacking in any particu- —_.__.

Photographs tions, &c., to meet or makea trade with the many millions of Germans in the United States, if with noone else, He is looking for a good agent, The titles, instructions, decorative de- signs, in fact, everything about the machines, is to be German, This firm is the second largest in the empire, it produces about 30,000 ma- chines in a year and employs about 700 hands, They manufacture the Singer machine. With this they are beating our man- ufacturers, so they claim, in every country out- side of the United States. Why and how? First, because they produce and sell a much cheaper, it inferior, article, and, as far as inferiority goes, they claim that ours is better only in finish and decoration; that theirs answors the people's wants just as well, and ‘‘once this be- comes known poor people, buying things tor work rather than for ornamentation, buy ours (the German) and save the difference in price for pictures or something else; besides you Americans give them what you make, what you think is best, allowing them to know nothing avout the matter, while we make an effort to find out their desires; THEY ARE THE BEST JUDGES of what is best for them. ‘Circumstances alter cases’ ia as good in Chili, Peru, Brazil, Argen- tine as in New York or London.” This manu- facturer confessed to me that his iron castings are by no means so good ours and that we have lots of better machines than those of Ger- man make, but that they are too dear and that when manufacturers of the United States go ontride to sell they must go prepared to meet the wants of and respect the ideas of people with whom they wish to make trade; and, above all, that people get an idea that tools | and machinery lose in quality when they get too much decoration and finish. The founder of this firm was formerly in the United States; and his sons still retain th Ameri- can citizenship. The company is now what is called an “Actiengeselischafft,” or stock company, having about 1,000,000 marks (not quite $230,000) capital. With 700 workmen (i. €., men and and women, for mach of the lighter work, decorating and box making, is done by women and girls—these latter get about 23 or 24 cents a day) they turn out 25,000 to 30,000 machines a year and pay about 500,000 marks a year in salaries. They make all their own wood work out of native German woods, poplar and pine, and black walnut for veneer- ing. The average wages for men is two marks (less than 50 cents)a day. Even out of th: the men save, and are sometimes, though I sup not often, stock holders in the company for which they work. The superintendent said they hed quite a number of such; that they are very thrifty and very frugal; that strikes or so- called labor movements and agitation are un- known, ‘This superintendent speaks excellent English and, I may add, German, Spanish, French and italian. In answer to my question as to the cause of the recent progress in Ger- many he said: “Right here is where the Germans are going to beat the world. Not only their art and in- dustrial schools, but those for languages and commercial training, are going to give them the wing-footed or rather wing-tongued mes- sengers of trade.” xe Se — A NEW DANGER. How Foot Passengers Unexpectedly Take a Tumble on Carbon. ‘The introduction of the electric light has brought into modern civilization a danger that ‘was never anticipated and has probably never been noted. In days gone by poets of the daily press were wont to sing of the lurking foe to humanity concealed within the slippery pulp of the treacherous banana peel, and many a man has goue limping down the street with a curse on his lips for the rain that helped the banana tree to grow and consigning it to a re- gion where water does notabound. But now a new “foe to humanity” has made its appea ance, almost as dangerous as the broken wire and the grounded current and just as treach- erons as the peel, This is the insignificant li tle piece of broken carbon, smashed from the halt-burnt rod that the electric light man throws down from his lofty perch as he fixes the Iamps for another inning. It is so small that not one man out of a hundred will notice it, and when he begins to go sliding—no, he does not begin at all, he just slides without any beginning or warning about it—when he goes sliding down to the gutter as though he had on a roller skate, and ends up by sitting down with a thump and a sprained ankle, then he in- stinetively looks around to see who struck him, Uniess he has had experience in the same line before he is notaptto notice that innocent littio eylinder of carbon lying a few feet away, and When a friend or a good $ picks it up and tells him that that is w! the matter with him he is very hable to lose his temper and say bad words.

From the Baltimore American. The other morning Edwin Booth was very much Startled when a waiter at the Mount Ver- non hotel brought two cards to his room bear- ing the names of two ladies unknowa to him. ‘The waiter said the ladies were pretty and were waiting in the parlor. Ina few minutes Booth made his appearance in the parlor. and, much to his surprise, he found two young and very pretty society girls, one of whom was a debu- tunte last season. They informed him they had attended every performance since his ar- rival in Baltimore and become so fascinated with him that they had decided to call, ‘They hoped he would pardon them for doing £0. For a few minatex Booth said nothing, First he looked at their cards, which he still beld in his hand, and then at the girls, who binshed and became very much confused.

THURSDAY, MARCH 6. 1899, Wholesome Food. A large proportion of the baking powders in the market contain Ammonia, Alum, or other adulter- ants equally injurious, and as a matter of prudence housekeepers should insist upon knowing a// the ingredients of their favorite brand. A knowledge of one of the ingredients is of little value, as it is no guarantee of the wholesomeness of the others; hence no reliance should be placed on any baking powder unless the manufacturers plainly state each and every ingredient used in its prepara- tion. If this information is withheld it would be wise to discontinue the use of that particular kind of baking powder and purchase one so pure and free from objectionable ingredients that there is in it nothing to conceal. All the ingredients used in Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder have been for years published on the label of every can, The purity of the ingredi ents and the scientific accuracy with which they are compounded, account for the strength and efficiency of this baking powder, EEE Ladies: — week—HOWARD'S BIG BURLESQUE CO.
