In tlie latter part of October a good
roads congress will bo held under the
auspices of the Agricultural Department
of the Columbian Exnosition Road ma.
chinery, taxation, legislation, tolls, free
roads, repairs, and material for construe*

to advauco the cause of good roads in
America, and to develop a more practical
system ol improving our highways,
best methods of construction, and to encourage
the public and private support
for the same. The congress will be held
in tho permanent Memorial Art Palace
in the Lake Front Park. T. Butterwortli,
of Chicago, is Chairman of the
coftiwittcc.
The labor troubles in Lancashire,
England, which ended by a compromise,
* -J*ke rank ap the greatest struggle _ between
capital and labor which the world
has sccu. The campaign lasted twenty
weeks, iuvolved directly and indirectly
125,009 employes, and cost in los3 of
wages alone $10,000,000. Each side was
equally willing at the outset to cngago
in a test of strength, and at last they
were just as glad to cull a truce with
tho houors even. Great sacrifices have
uecn cuuurcu, wiiu no result, save tuat
both parties to the conflict have bad all
desire for tight taken out of them, and
the advantages of mutual compromise
arc for the time being fully conceded.
The operatives have in the terras of
peace conceded just a shade more than
the masters, but there has been really no
victory for cither side. The plans agreed
upon for settling future disputes cccm
to be tho best ever devised thus far. ,

CTSL.1 .! - L-. I
A strange and grostesque tigurc disnp*
pears from the upper ranks of tho British
nobility with the deuth of the Duke of
Bedford. Succeeding to tho dukedom
on the suicide of his father only two
years ago he lias, accor ling to the New
York Sun, exhibited in au intensified
form the Kusscll family trails. He was
nrnetirnllv a rreltise and never had nnv
intimate associate?. Though enormously
rich ho was a miser. Scores of acres of
the most valuable property in tho heart
of Loudon belong to his estate. His pas*
sion for saving manifested itself when ?
boy at school and it remained with him
till the day of his death. Never a day
passed without his saving something and
reckoning how much ho had saved.
After his succession to the du^adom tt.i'}
vast property accompanying it the pas.
sion increased. Ilia one absorbing thought
was to pile up further hoards, to find
new possibilities of retrenchment, to
form ways of increasing the unnccdcd
surplus, aud every peony he continued
to invest by the bent advice procurable in
tho soundest scc iritics. During the last
few years he had bccomo physically almost
a monstrosity. He was well proportioned
and active as a young man,
but indulgence of a most gluttonous
appetito soon made him corpulent. Tho
very corpulenco that made nioro exercise
^ ^ "pp"??" rexercise at all. Ol
^lateyeaP? Tff!t .-a been most so
dentary. For days together ho would
not go outside his house. His appetite
was huge, grots, enormous, Gargantuan
He ate, as an eminent man who know
him better perhaps than any other de
scribed st, like a wolf. IIu was icpuieu
to be the largest and heaviest .feeder iD
England. Those who had seen him cat
ing say it was a sight never to be forgotten.
Heart disease of long standing
was the immediate cause of death, but
he really died of gluttony.
UAtTTAL NEWS AND GOSSIP.
The Prrndtnt'a Olrtr Statement hu
* Quieting: Effect on the Fiuancial
Afitetion.
Washikqtok, D.O.?The authoiitalivo
tatemeot of Mr. CltVeland in which he
announced the preeent and future policy
of the Administration relative to the use
of the gold re serve, has taken the edge
off the excitement thit followed tho act
of the Socretsry of the Treasury in dipping
into the reserve fund. If there has
becu any da-iger of a 6uancial flurry, that
dang r appears now to have passe 1. Un
dcr the interpretation of Mr. Cleveland's
statement the reserve is to be Iri-attd
simply aa so much cash in the treasury,
and wh ther the spgregnto rises or fat's
a few millions a day becomes a matter of
little concern.
Comrqmcntly very little interest wi?s
manifested at the department in regard
to the financial situation. Some offers of
gold were received from the West and
accepted, aud Treasurer Jordan, at New
York, it was r. ported, had abo r. ceived
a considerable amount of gold certificitcs.
Mr. Leech, c director of the United
States mint, and recognized authority on
finances, said: "I look upon the state
meat by tho President as a plain and forcib'.e
announcement of the determination
of the Adminis ration to maintain gold
payments at all hazards, and that il the
supply of gold nt the disposal of tho
treasury should at any time be insufficient
' for the purpose, the credit of the GovI
eminent would bo uaatl io accum th? nrf;.
essary amount. As such it will go a long
way towards restoring confidence and
nvciting any financial difficulty."
THIS GOLD OVERPLUS $900,000.]
The net gold in the Treasury, over and
above the $100,000,000 gold reserve, is
$900,000. This accounts for the gold
taken from tho Now York sub treasury
for export and also for gold offered and
accepted from Boston bankers. It doe*,
not, however, iuclude the gold which
was offered to the government from San
1 Francisco and Rnannkn V?
amounts will appear in the Treusury figures
whan the actual exchange is made.
Secretary Carlisle is much encouraged
at what he terms the "patriotic position
taken by the Boston bankers *' lie took
over with him to the cabinet mooting a
bundle of paper*, presumably bearing on
tte oonfeOMM?L*f,N?7 T?rk
with Assistant Treasurer Jordm. In the
incomplete condition of that matt>r, the
Secretary did not deem it prudent to ex*
press an opinion.
