The amount of jute fibre consumed in So the United States is enormous; more than 5,00\000 jute sacks are annually consumed in handling cotton seed meal and cake. All heavy gunnies are of foreign make. The annual increase in the consumption of jute fibre in the United States is greater than in any g other nation. The United States is a til larger consumer of jute fiber for hand- 0 ling the cotton crop and its products a than all the rest of the v.orld. The sc United States is a larger consumer of be jute fiber for handling the grain crop Ci and its products than all the world pr besides. The United States is a larger ed consumer of fiber other than cotton foi for harvesting its grain crops than all in other countries of the globe. The United w< states is the largest consumer of jute w tibel- in miscellaneous fabrics, employ- pr ing it in a greater variety of uses than ul all other nations put together. wl The greatest consumption of jute as fibre is in moving the product of the ot: soil; therefore the magnitude of the sh erops will dictate the amount of fibre w] to be used. ce Fifteen Thousand Changes of Postmasters of ~ Under the New Administration. fe th "Yes," said First Assistant Post- H master General Clarkson to-day, "I ch ee that some of the newspapers state Si that there have been ten thousand gi hanges made in the post ofices since an he present administration came into to oower, while others say that there have ar n fourteen thousand such changes.

This we call tidal air. But if wve try we can take in more air-about one hundred cubic inches. This is called complemental air, and be sure you spell it with an e and not an i. Be sure to shut the folding doors tightly when you go to bed and keep them shut; and to do this you must keep them shut during the day when nc.t obliged to open them.

[Detroit Free Press.] A history of scoops would form a very od history of journalism from the ne newspapers first began to be issued. ie of the great scoops of history was prediction. The particulars of this >op are so historical that they can found in "Kinglake's History of the imean War." The London Times edicted the battle of Alma. It call the battle that had not yet been ight by the name it has been known history. It pointed out where it uld be fought and pointed out what )uld be the result. This remarkable ediction was verified in every partic tr, and, although the Times after trds kept on the predicting business to the fall of Sebastopol none of its ier predictions came true. This ows the beauty of stop predicting en you have made one big sue A. scoop which involved a good deal personal danger was accomplished a v years ago by the correspondent of e New York Times in London. Mr. rlond Frederic went through the olera sn'itteu districts of France and ain and cabled a page to his paper, ing an accurate history of the plague, d showing for the first time what was be feared from the cholera epidemic d what was not. In fact, it gave ople for the first time an accurate es nate of the situation. When the Prince of Vales visited nerica, the New York Herald man t a scoop on all his esteemed contem raries by holding a wire against all mers. This was at Niagra Falls and ere was but one wire at that time to ew Yorl;. The Herald reporter start sending in his messages, and, until had finished, none of the other men ald send in theirs. He telegraphed ery mortal thing that he could think described all the suits the Prince of ales wore and what the Duke of New tle said and did, and what every ember of the suite thought and were ely to think about, and finally he d to fall back on the only book avail le, a copy of the New Testament, )st of which was telegraphed to the erald in New York. By the time he d finished with the vorume it was en too late for any of the other news per men to send in aspecial.

In arecenit issue of Harper's Mag .zine, Mr. Blowitz, the Paris corres >ndent of the London Times. gives a terv interesting account of how he oped all his contemporaires by tele raphing to London a copy of the Ber in treaty. Not the least difficulty which he had to overcome was the get ting of a permit.to send by telegraph the matter which he had the good luck~ and management to secure. He ha( to get into BelgiumI to do it, and ever tlen he had t', have an order from very high authority or otherwise hi message would not have been taken. In America the only trouble tha correspondents have is to get the news Once they have that, there is no doub about its being telegraphed. In Europ the correspondents have another di iculty to contend with, and~that 1F even after they have their special -info: mnation, and after they hiad it in to tb telegraph office, it is sometimes n sent. D)uring the troublesome timi in Spain awhile ago, a newspaper co respondent found that no matter whs inration he managed to get, it w ever forwarded from the Spanish tel ra,ph office. The government of- ti day took care that no news that it d not wish to go abroad should be sei. This lcorrespondent. wrote his friei in London that when he received t et dispatch he was to count eve ifth word and cable only every fiu word to New Yoi-k.

A Trial Excursion Train Falls from a Tres tle and is Dashed to Pieces-Forty-one Persons Injured. K oxvILE, TENN., August 2:.-A horrible wreck occurred on the Knox ville, Cumberland Gap and Louisville Railroad, at Flat Gap Creek, twenty two miles from here, at 10.30 this morn ing. The:traiu was the first to go over the new road and cal ried a select excur 5ion of the city council, board of pub li works, representatives of the cham ber of commerce and the very flower >f the business and professional men of Knoxville. The train of two ears left the track it crossing, and the rear car went down I i trestle. Only one man in the car was uninjured. It was impossible to obtain edical aid for a long time, and until 1.30 p. m., when the trami reached noxville, scanty attention was ren lered. Many had to be brought back )n fiat cars, and the last part of the 1 journey was made in a driving rain. Three men have died from their in juries and others cannot live. The dead re: Judge George Andrews, the most minent lawyer in East Tennessee; S. r. Powers, leading merchant and for mer president of the East Tennessee Fire Insurance Company, and Alex Reeder, a leading politician, who has ield many offices of trust. The injured are: Alexander Arthur president of the chamber of commerce; [sham Young, president, and Peter Eern, member of the board of public works; John T. Hearn, editor of the sentinel; W. W. Woodruff, leading xholesale merchant; Charles S. Rime yur, attorney; Alexander Wilson, as ;istant chief engineer of the.Knoxville, Cumberlaud Gap -and Louisville Road; ounty Judge Maloney, Aldermen Bar y and Hockings, Gen. H. Schubert. of ;he Governor's staff; A. J. Alberts, wholeeale merchant; the Rev. R. J. Cook, professor in the U. S. Grant Uni versity; City Phys.cian West, Judge E. H. Ingersoll, H. B. Witsell, W. B. Samuels, C. Abbie, Capt. H. .H. Tay [or, S. McKelden, Ed. Barker, J. F. Kinsell, John B. Hall, Phillips Samu As, aged 10, R. Schmidt, W. A. Park r and one or two of the train crew. Out of fifty-six persons on the train forty-one were injured. The most in tense excitement and sadness are appa rent here to-night. When the relief train reached Knox ville thousands of people gathered at the station and along the adjacent itreets, and the excitement was in tense. Over one hundred carriages were in waiting. The scene as the wounded and dead were being taken Dut on stretchers was aghs y Ane. There was a grea c a d many of the infed had to waits eve :rGurS for atteI snce. It is feared tha this fact together with the drenching rain, will render the after effects very serious. It is now known that Seymour and Barker will lose their legs. There is little chance for Alderman Barry re covering. In the wreck he was thrown against a window and his abdomen filled with powdered glass. His phiysi ians give little hope of his recovery. With this exception, it is now believed that all the others will recover unless exposure brings on complications. An inq1uest will be held to-morrow, but it isnow believed that the wreck can be attributed to the condition of of the road. Twe years ago Knoxville subscribed $2253,600 towards the con struction of the road, and the contract period expires to-morrow. It was to show the city authorities that the road was completed that the excursion was given.. . Tomorrow all the city orgamizations Swill meet to prepare for public obsequie -over Andrews and Reeder. Powers t body will be taken to Kentucky.

LoNDON, August 22.-It is officially mnnounced that Mrs. Maybrick's sen ence has been commuted to penal ser itud for life. The decision was based n the conflict of medical testimony as o whether the poison found in deceas d's stomach was sufficient to produce loath. After a prolonged consultation 'etween eminent lawyers and Mr. iatthews, the Home Secretary, the inanimous opinion was arrived at that Irs. Maybrick had administered the oison to her husband with intent to :ill. No further appeal, either for re ease from prison or for mitigation of he sentence to life imprisonment, will Pe entertained. MRS. MAYBRICK AND HER CRIME. The trial has also evoked great in erest on this side of the Atlantic, vhere Mrs. Maybrick is known to a arge circle of friends, having been born n this country, whsre she resided up o the time of her marriage. Mrs. Elizabeth Maybrick Is the laughter of William G. Chandler, a >anker of Mobile, Ala., who died Rud lenly in 1860. A year afterwards his vidow, Mrs. Carrie E Chandler. niar ied Col. Frank DuBarry. a Confede ate officer, with whom her name had een unpleasantly coupled before her iusband's death. In 1863 Col. DuBarry vas ordered to Europe for the purpose f making contracts forordnance stores. e took his wife and stepdaughter with rim and embarked on a blockade run er. The steamer had been at sea only few days when the colonel suddenly pired, and, at the command of the vife, the body was buried at sea. Sub equently Mrs. Du Barry married Baron on Rogue, a German officer, then a nember of Crown Prince Frederick's taff. James Maybrick was a cotton broker loing an extensive business in Liver ool. He seems to have been a very mpressionable man, for on nearly every isit to the United States he managed o fall in love with some fair passenger nd there were two or three engage aents. Meeting Florence Chandler on oard a steamer in 1881, he proposed to ier and was accepted. The marriage ook place in the fashionable St. James hurch, Piccadilly, London. At that ime the residence of the bride was ;iven at Norfolk, Va., Mr. and Mrs. taybrick appear to have lived amie ,bly together for some years, although he husband was twice as old as the vife. Her fondness for display and omewhat reckless gaiety led to dis )utes and finally culminated in a uarrel. Mrs. Maybrick has confesed hat she wronged her husband with a entleman of the name of Brierly, but sts that her husband forgave her. rhe. ill-matched couple resided at [rassendale House in the best part of Liverpool, and they had two children. Last April Mr. Maybrick took very ill. On May 8th Alice Yapp, the chil dren's nurse, took a letter, which she received from her mistress, to the post Alice says the baby dropped the lettel in the miud, which soiled it. Fearini the mother's anger, the girl decided t4 place it inu another envelope, but bei curious, read its contents. This lette was addressed to "A. Brierly, Huski son street, Liverpool," he being also cotton broker and .Maybrick's frienc This letter said "He was sick to death, anI "Doctors have held cobsultatlol all depends upon how long his strengt will hold out." Another sentence wa "M. has been delirious since Sunda; and I know he is ignorant of ever; thing, even name of street." The sign ture, "Florie," showed the intima relations between the writer and Brie ly. Instead of mailing the letter, Ah Yapp gave it to Edwin Maybrick 4 the day of his brother's death. Edw showed no suspicion, but allowed t funeral to take 'place, though he ke a strict watch on the widow. A day two afterwards she was arrested, t body was exhumed, an inquest h4 and great quantities of arsenic w found in the stomach. During the ti it came out that Mrs. Maybrick I bo.ught arsenic, some of which ~ hidden in her bedroom. She persis d in saying she had bought this for purpose of preparing a lotion for face. Jt was also foLrnd that Mr. M dbrick often had ordered arsenic p dders from the drdg store. The defe was that Mr. May brick was an habil sarsenic eater. Doctors who gave dece disagreed in a most remarks wy, and it was generally thought would not be found guilty, as the dence was all circumstantial. iljudge, Sir James Stephen, one ol Sgreatest English judges, howe > summed up strongly against, her, bthe jury, after a short deliberal as unanimously found her guity, ri letter to Brierly doing more than he thing else to impress the jury i of sense of her guilt.

[Lippincott's.] Brewer's "Phrase and Fable" says that "Honorificabilitudinitatibus" is is called the longest English word, and that it is found in old plays, and given in Bailey's Dictionary: but it can easily be acquitted of the charge on the ground of its manufactured origin. It is "brummagen," not gold. The longest real word found in Webster is "disproportionableness," excluding compound words and plural and par ticipial formations, which, I have not closely examined. Probably it would retain its headship even were the last admitted, for its plural would "stretch its slow length along" two letters farther. It is not so difficult a thing to find long words as it is to decide whether they really have a right to be con sidered a part of the English language. We have the authority of the London Times for "nitrophenylenediamine," a red dye-stuff; and the Star says, "Why not wind up the famous ministerial de claration . . . with that difficult expression 'polyphrasticontinomine galondulation'?" (thirty-five letters). If thi$Jumbo of a word has about it a tinge of unreality, we may fall back on "dynamorphosteopalinklaster"(twenty six letters), a surgical instrument for breaking a falsely-united fracture; if one must have a word known to litera ture, we can quote Shakespeare's famous "honorificabilitudinitatibus" (twenty-seven lettters). But, for fear that some may urge that this word smacks of Latin, we add the following, the chemical terminology for cocaine, for which a Boston medical journal is authority:"methylbenzomethoxyethyl tetrahydropyridinecarboxylate." This word contains the equivalent of two complete alphabets (fifty-two letters), and we think it may be safely asserted that it is the longest word in the En glish language. OUT OF CIVILIZATION'S WAY. A Man Who Lives 1,200 Miles from a Rail road Station. A gentleman, accompained by his wife, called the other day at at Port and (Me.) ticket office and asked for a ticket to his home, which he stated was Fort Vermillion. He was not sur prised when told that the office did not -iave such a teket, and contenated him self with a ticket to Montreal, remark ing, incidentally, that he hardly ex pected to 'be ticked through, since his home is f,200 miles from any railroad station. k uch a remarkable distance from. a railroad in these days of quick transportation was surprising, nor was his next statement any less so. It is 700 miles from his home to a postoffice. A newspaper published more than two months before is a great rarity in their far-away Northern home. In reply to questions by the Portland Express, the gentleman said that he leaves the Canadian Pacific road at Galgary and travels by stage 250 miles to the post called Edmundton3. This is the end of the stage route, and travelers have to secure their 'own conveyances for the rest of the distance. They take along in the journey a regular commissary department, camping wherever night. fall overtakes them. It requires six week to make this - trip. The journey , takeshim down the Athalasca River across Little Slave Lake and througi ithe wiiderness to the junction of th4 Pac and Smokty Rivers, and dowr the valley of the former river to For ~'Vermillion. The gentleman is a trade of furs, and this is his first visit int ethe civilized world for ten years. Hi -trade has been a prosperous one, an after a few years more of trade he pr nposes to return to Montreal and pa~ his last days in luxury. -t "Elixly" Experimerets at WilliamlSton. el [Andersoni Journal.] dDr. B.

The Exodus from the Sfate of North !Caro lina is a Blessing-Less Protection Would Bring More Capital to the Southern States. WASHINGTON, August 21.-Senator Hampton, in an interview here to-day, said that the Republicans were mak ing an effort to break into the solid South by introducing economic ques tions, but that it would fail. He said: "As long as local self gov ernment demands. our attention, our people cannot be divided on this issue. Whether a man is a protectionist or a tariff reformer, the safety or welfare of his home is paramount to the tariff. "Do you think that there is a grow ing protective sentiment in the South?" "No," the Senator replied, "I think the tendency is more likely to be the other way, especially in the mining and manufacturing districts. The interests of the States of Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama particularly are advanced by low duties. They can produce iron and coal much cheaper than they can be produced in the East. Protection only assists Eastern manufactures to keep up this rivalry. Without protec tion the rivalry would be greatly less ened. "The less the protection, the more capital will go to develop the industries of the South. Seeing this, I do not tbink our people will be led off by this question. The efforts of the Republi cans will be in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and perhaps Alabama. I do not think they will meet with suc cess in either. "The exodus of the negroes from North Carolina, if it keeps up, will hurt them there, but they could not carry the State anyhow. Harrison's appointments in the South :have been of a character to strengthen us in the resistance of any attempts made upon the Southern States. I know it has been so in South Carolina, and I pre sume it is the same elswhere." He thought inconvenience but no in jury would result from an extensive negro exodus in the South. "We," he he said, "would gladly see the 'colored people move elsewhere, and we would be willing to suffer any reduction in the Electoral College and Congress that might result from their departure. It would make things a little harder for the present generation, but it would be the salvation of the future. I would gladly vote to appropriate fifty millions for the purchase of Cuba or some other place in which they might settle." South Carolinians Going to Texas.

DEATH OF COL. J. S. U. THOMPSON. A Prominent Citizen and Lawyer of Spar tanburg Stricken by Heart Disease. [Special to 'W Register.] - SPABTANBUi, Au S. R. Thonlpson, a pro t - of this^city, died very sudde eiaen disease at his home at eleve 9lo this morning. He had been sitting in. his piazza, preparatory to going to his office, when he was seen to fall for' ward on the floor. It happened that no member of the family was present at the time. Physicians were quickly summoned and restoratives employed, but life was already extinct. I Col. Thompson was about 48 years old and a native of this county. He graduated with great credit from the South Carolina College, and after the war entered the profession of the law. He first practiced in York but removed to Spartanburg in 1874.

Democratic party, and frequently a delegate to the State convention. He served two termns in the House of Representatives, and > took rank as one of the ablest andmost__ useful members. SHis death causes profound sorrow here. The disease of which he died ' |his friends have for some time realized Sthat his condition was precarious. sSomewhat "previous" politicians. eSpecial to The Register. - CHARLES'ToN, August 21.-Over in the progressive and enlightened County of Berkeley the politicians are already starting the campaign of 1890. Berkeley, is an agricultural county essentially, but among the few white inhabitants there are more politicians than long m staple cotton to the acre. A liberal es er timate would give five office-sekers 82 out of every eight grown white men in al the county, a state of affairs that of ch course produces "factions." Each fac ti tion naturally wanits to get into the field first, and hence the opening of the campaign a year ahead of schedule time. tyd It is said noti to be true that the late .t E. J.
