Mr. Wanamaker is excep- tionally well qualified for a cabinet position being in every respect equal to the responsibilities and worthy of the trast. The firm of Jobn Wanamakeris one of the most widely known commercial houses in the United States, and Philadelphia is under heavy obliga- tions toa house which bas done and is doing so much to maintain ber commercial supremacy in the wholesale drygoods trade. Mr. Wanamaker’s career as a merchant has been remarkably successtul, aud his present leadership among Philadelphia’s business men is the result of cast-iron nerve, heroic en- ergy, and triumphant ability. Con- centration of purpose, springing from a nature inherently stable, and sustained by a spirit worthily ambitious, has achieved for Johu Wanamaker the victory of renown and the vantage of vast wealth. Mr. Wanamaker is a self-made man and represents the best type of American character. He is to- day in the dry-goods trade, in- comparably the most influential merchant and manufacturer of the City of Brotherly Love. His for- tune is variously reckoned, but all the estimates make him many times a millionaire. His life refiects his religious convictions, his con- duct is governed by a profound sense of moral obligation and his character is above reproach. In spite of the vast business interests which claim so much of his time and attention, Mr. Wanamaker never bec ‘s so absorbed in such matt is lo be indifferent to the privileges and delights of his home theroughly domestic he companionship of his family finds bis completest Salistaction aud most resttul de- del Le tatthe head of this ves an excellent represep- Ssubject, whose features eat mental strength, ex- ecutive ability and foree, and a Straight forward disposition.

AND CHAFF. = Tennessee Jubilee singers Just returned from an extend- ot the West Indies and America where they were ived by the people. Among ws In this famous troup are 1 Matilda S. Jones, who has styled “Black Patti” and who a Teceived eight gold medals of me design and workman- i testimony of ber ability as artist ; Mr. Lewis D. Brown rated basso profundo of adelphia, who is unquestion- ne of the most agcomplished wished bassos in the country.

Brown is not a hor but a basso profundo; a ‘roughly sound and honest sing- the cel Phi ab 1d town Te th WASHINGTON, D. G., SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1889. er; imitations, perhaps, in the | Italian school, and more useful in concerted music than in rendering such modern English songs as | “Thy Sentinel and 1.” Both these principal vocalists were deservedly appreciated and vociferously ap- plauded.” Mr. Brown possesses a_ rich, melodious voice of rare sweetness and purity. His masterful rendi- tien of Madelieve, a barritone solo full of pathos and sentiment, made him quite a favorite among the music loving people of the West Indies. J. E. Bruce has just ded- icated a bass solo to this deserved- ly basso entitled “Constancy.” 1t will be sung by Mr. Brown at the next concert of the Jubilee singers either at Grange, N. J.,orin New York city. The troupe will leave the United States in a few months for Paris and the contivent where it will give a series of first class entertainments. Wasbington’s birthday was cele- brated in the evening by a recep- tion given by the 21st district Har- rison and Morton club at Morton Hall, No, 8 59th st. There were literary and musical exercises dur- ing the early part of the evening of a high order. Prof. W. Owens King, the inimitable humorist of Philadelphia, entertained the guests of the clab with a series of character sketches which convu!s- ed the audience with laughter. His impersonation of the Jew was de- cidedly the hit of the evening and at its conclusion the audience fair- ly roared he should be seen to be appreciated. Madam Flowers, who possesses a very sweet soprano voice, sang with telling effect that beautiful solo entitled ‘‘Margue- rite.” Mr. Dawson gave a banjo solo | which was well received. The Rev. Dr, W, B. Derrick was discovered among the audience and was press- ed into service, and made an able address. In the course of his re- marks he paid a high compliment to the negro press of the country, urging the race to sustain and up- hold the editors of race journals which were honestly battling for the race. He spoke of the aggres- sive and fearless editor of the Washington Bes in terms quite complimentary, and concluded his remarks by singing ‘America’ in which the audience joined with a vim. Among the audience were many distinguished white people from fifth avenue and other por- tions of the city, includmg repre- sentatives of the New York ‘Mail and Express,” the ‘‘Daily Press,” the “Tribune,” the representatives of the Ber and others. On the con- clusion of the literary exercised, the floor was cleared for dancing. The president of the club, Mr. C. F. Butler, and an old Washington boy, invited the following ladies and gentlemen to supper: Mrs. Flower, Rev. Dr. W. B. Derrick, Mrs. Cosman, L. L. Brown, esq, Prof. W.O, King, Mr. J. E. Bruce, of the Bex and Mr. J. M. Bryant. A sumptuous repast was served and highiy enjoyed by the gay party amid flashes of wit and mer- riment that ‘‘set the table on a roar.” Dr. Derrick left on the 11:30 train for his home in Flushing, L. The Harrison and Morton club of the 21st district, will leave here 40 strong for Washington on Sun- day night nextat9 p. m., on a special car provided by Hon. Chaun- cey W. Depew. J. E. Bruce, cor- respondent of the Br, will accom- pany it. Mrs. C. M. Hill of the Sumner House will attend the inaugural ceremonies at Washington. Judge Advocate M. F, Hamlin if not already in Washington is com- ing now. He says he cannot miss the sight. His eyes are weak and seeing the inauguration of another republican president will strength- en them. Minor will bave no little influence this deal. His friends, Vice-Presi- dent Morton and Hon. Warner Miller, will see that he doesn’t get left. Mivor be's all right.

The consumption of gold in in-;} dustrial arts throughout the world is $46,000,000, and of silver $22, 000,000 per annum. There are over 8,000,000 invest- ed in potteries in this country, of which $4,000,000 are entered in Trenton. N.J, There are 26 pot- teries there, which give employ- ment to 5000 persons, who receive weekly about 50,000 in wages. There is a net increase in the market value of the eight dividend paying copper stocks in 1888 $16, 282,500 or more than 50 per cent, and Boston has received $2,500,000 more in dividends from the coppers in 1888 than ia 1887, owing to the operation of the French syndicate. The total wool production of the world is estimated at 2,000,000 Ibs. Australia is the heavest producer coming to the front with 459,570, 000 pounds. In the iron manufactories in Troy there are some 4000 or 5000 em- ployees who receive annual wages of some $3,000,000. In the stove industry, the men employed may be roughly estimated at about 2000 and the wages paid annually a- mount to $1,040,000. e Dr. George Dutton, Dean of the Vermont Medical College, recently addressed a gathering of working- men, in Boston and spoke thus of Maltbus: “The doctrine that the tendency to increase of population outruns the means of subsistance is false, and the doctrine of Mal- thus that overproduction is the cause of industrial depression, is without foundation, since all the people on the glove could be allot- ed each one-eighth of an acre of land in the State of Texas alone.” The ‘Engineering and Mining Journal” estimates the mineral production of the United States for the year just closed at $550,000,000, more than the product of any other and all European couutries combin- ed. This tremendous production of minerals and metals was accom- plished without anything like boom. Under Protection American cut- lery has become so much cheaper than England that Canada in the year ending June 30, 1887, with the same duties on the products of the United States and England, imported $203,815 worth of house- furnishing hard-ware from this country to 84,960 dollars from En- gland, and $5,707 worth of miscel- laneous edged tools from this country, while it got enly 364 dol- lars worth from England. DEAFNESS CAN’T BECURED by local application, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only ono way to cure Deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucas lining of the Eustach- ian Tube. When this tube gets in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten arecaused by eatarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol- lars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrab) that we can not cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F.J. CHENEY &CO., TOLEDO, O.
