Francis Murpbywill, tills week, begin ; a series of temperance meetings in the , great foundries and workshops of Pittsburg. The meetings arc to be held from factory to factory at the dinner hour. Those British editors are funny chaps. They imagine that the entire tariff system of this country has been changed by a Presidential decree. Alas! such is not the case. There is to be a debate in Congress. Lieutenant Shoemaker has been at Anglcsea examining the members of the life saving crews relative to the recent charges filed at Washington against L. W. Havena, superintend!* of life savlog stations in the Fourth district. Henry George says In this week's Issue of the Standard. "The truth is that I have not definitely decided not to be a candidate for tbe Presidency next year in case our friends throughout the country determine to pnt up a candidate and demand of me^e serve sa such." The United Slates Postal Improvement Association, which has iusl been formed, daalres the reissue ot frnct.onsl currency for use in the mails, tbe abolition of postal notes, the issue of postal orders for small sums at reduced rates, and tbe passage of laws of special interest to farmers and frail-growers. President Cleveland, Sunset Cox and Secretary Whitney arc classed among the fortunate ones in the rise of Washington res] estate. The President is worth $20,000 more than he was when he bought Oak View, Mr. Cox sold 060,000 cash property that he had bought on time for #30.000 and Mr. Whitney cleared over #00.000 at "Grasslands."

Boanmrrows, Dec. 10.— Coionel lYm. i B. Murphy, formerly State Prison Keeper, died this morning at 8.00 at his home ] In this city. He was seventy years of ; age. He was elected to the Legislature v from this district once and was def^tsd once. His death was not unexpected, as ha has been In a precarious condition for some time past. " The remains will be taken to Princeton, N. J., for burial on Thursday. According to the St. Jama OateUt of Baturday, General Paine will sail the yacht Volunteer on the Clyde in a XI 000 match. The Volunteer ia also to try to return to America with the Cape Breton cap, won by the Genesis three seasons ago. As tbe Oaattt learns, there is not likely to be an international contest for the America cup next year. A bill has been prepared and la expected to paaa the New Jersey Legislature, at Its next session, providing a method for securing better jurors. If it oould ba amended so as to have the method extend to the selection of better legislators, there are several States that I t would Hke to borrow the bill when New Jeney gets through with It.— Ex. The feud between the Adams snd Caswell factions broke out again last Sunday night In Rockcastle county, Ky„ when, afteh church aervleea, Prank Adams was killed by one of the Caswells. Since then Frank Haskm, James Louaford, James Townaend, Tom Jackson and two Others, names unknown, have been killed, while many others have been wounded Mad aeveral houses have been burned. Tbe steel cruiser Chicago was subjected to the contract trial for horae-power oo Long Island Sound last Saturday and her performance exceeded all expectations. Beginning at 9.80, the engines were kept at full speed for six consecutive hours without accident of any kind. Tbe moan revolutions per minute were 0M and tbe borse-powet exceeded that called for in the oontract. The speed attained was slightly in excess of 15 J knots SB hour. The boilers furnished all the steam required without the use of forced draught. Secretary Fairchild has appointed Perry C. Smith, of New Jersey, as Chief Of the Appointment Division of the Treasury Department, to take effect on January 10, In place of Eugene Higgins. resigned, who hat been granted leave of absence until that date. Mr. Smith la a cousin of the Secretary, and at present botds tbe position of Disbursing • Clerk of tbe Post Office Department. 1 He has always been a Democrat, but ( baa never taken an active part In poii- , ties. Secretary FatrehOd said he had ' hesitated about giving the office to a relative. but was impelled to do so by the , close and confidential character of the 1 office and tbej?ood business qualifies. t For Sato. , The Arlington Hotel, with or without the furniture.

December Book News (88 , pages, illustrated) is the best ; number ever printed. 5 cents will bring it, or 50 cents will get it for a year — a resume once a month of every new book published.

Firm, strong, good weight. A modest little check formed by thread bars as wide as the check. The whole big lot went offlike a whiff ! Another , lot is here very much like*#, ' better, if anything • a" trine heavier, a bit firmer, and just as handsome. Not quite so wide. bine led dreS" j ■.lueindgold . ] The fluorescent or changeable effect is very marked in some of the color blendings. , Ladies' Writing Desks. 1 Sooner or later every lady 1 ejcpects to have one. More ' likely to come at Christmas than any other time. Full of facilities ' that their ; size would never hint at. It ; is the makers' every-year study to get more and more , 1 of neatness and convenience ' [ into these handsome bits of ' furniture. They have outdone | ' themselves this year. „ ( The bests of two hemis- [ pheres are here. Such a 1 gathering of them as we never i nad before — and for less , money. As neat and rich as . anyone need care for, $7. Cov- | 1 ered with extra quality straight ■ ; grain leather, and furnished j 1 complete. A Desk like this j | has never before been less : : than $10, more likely $12.50. . A mirror-polish on the Olive Wood Writing Desks, and each part ot a single piece of wood. With ruler, pen and pencil, and cut glass inkstand, $10 to $16. Saxony Desks of German Thura Wood, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, ebony, maple, holly, and olive, $6 to $10. Engle Writing Desks are warranted not to warp or crack. Of course none of the Desks we have just been telb ing of will warp or crack, but the Engle Desks are moderate priced — very. They are the -kind that slipshod work is likeliest to get into . The wood that Engle Desks will be made of three years hence is in the dry-liouse now — bSo* walnut w'ravr' maple 10, 12, 14, and 16 inches, with metal name-plate in each cover, $2 . 1 5 to $3 .90. Lower prices than we ever before saw on them. Handsome sets of writing utensils for a desk — SffiSSr in sandal wood, Cedar of Lebanon, olive, and olive and ebony, $1 a set. For general use we think the Cabin Bag the best of all Traveling Bags. It isn't the cheapest in the money way, nor the best looking, but if you simply want neat, available stow-away room you can't get more for the same cost in any other Bag we know of. Opens in the middle of the top. Takes up no more room when open than when shut. Just as much room inside of it when open as when shut. Can't say that of any other Bag. Nearest like it is the Club I-onger, narrower, rounder. Not so big for its size as a Cabin Bag, but , wonderfully big, just the same. Any outer » worthy Bag shape that is to be had. With the lightest, snuggest hold-together and carrying fear we have ever seen on raveling Bags. Any proper material. Four sorts of Alligator, for example — black, light brown, dark brown, and some in fancy colors. The chances are. that you never saw more than two sorts of Alligator in any other store. ; Sizes usually from 10 to 18 1 inches.
