At State Democratic headquarters in this city to-day the following was given out as a rough, although conservative esti- mate of the result on Tuesday next: Bryan and Sewall, 135,000; McKinley and Hobart, 560,000; Bryan and Watson, 25,000; Palmer and Buckner, 6,000; Prohibitionists insignificant. The Democratic plurality will be, it is esti- mated, from 60,000 to 80,000, and the ma- jority from 40,000 to 50,000.

Fearing some outbreak Mayor McDonald issued a proclamation to- day as follows: “Owing to the strained conditions of the public — at this time, I eby request all good citizens to refrain m enter ng into any public parade on Monday night, Nov. 2, and I appeal 8 to those who are leaders and officers of the various political parties to comply with my request in the interest of the peace and welfare of our city.’’ According to the city ordinantes no pub- lic demonstration or street parade can take place without the consent of the Mayor, and his proclamation will probably prevent | any street parade Monday night.

The parade, which was nine miles long, contained many magnificent floats and banners and more than a thousand horsemen were in line. Instead of one speaker’s stand it was found necessary to hastily improvise four more, so that five speakers were addressin immense audiences at one time.

It expects within a day or two to have legal proof of it. | This fraud cannot be perpetrated with- out the knowledge of the Election Com- missioners, or at least without gross neglect of duty on their part. The new election law gives very large powers to the Board of Election Commissioners, and gross frauds cannot be perpetrated unless they fail or refuse to exercise those — * — powers. 6 i The Post-Dispatch serves plain notice now that if Col. Jim Campbell’s and Col. Ed Butler’s schemes for stuffing the count are carried to success in any of the wards, the Post-Dispatch will on the day after election demand of Gov. Stone the removal from office of the Election Com- missioners whom he appointed, and will moval. That the Governor has full power under the law is proved by the following clause in the election laws of Missouri, page 103: | „Sec. 99, Commissioners may be removed for misconduct.—The said Commissjoners of Blection appointed by the Governor may be removed by him, upon notice, for official misconduct and the Commissioner ap- pointed by the Mayor may be removed by the Mayor for like cause.“ — —̃ NOW COMES BRIBERY. Bribery—these three have been and are the main reliance of the Hanna campaign. eat The contest had hardly begun before Hanna, or someone for him, conceived the idea of Coercion. Depew of the Van- derbilt Lines, Gould of the Missouri Pa- cific and Wabash, Ingalls of the Big Four, Carnegie and other representatives of big employing corporations were called in conference, and the programme of in- timidating employes through their em- ployers throughout the country was con- ceived and set in motion. Craven sub- mission on the part of the employes was counted upon, but the uprising of Ameri- can manhood against the new form of slavery disconcerted the plan, and as soon as this was discovered Hanna re- alized that new forces must be brought into play. : Beaten on the issue in spite of Coercion, the word was passed round to the Han- nacrat newspapers and orators to brag and bluff, to claim everything, to offer “ake bets at ridiculous odds. The object of all this was to scare the timid or hési- pu oF the" Eréat men of the tating voter who desires to be on the win- ning side to believe that McKinley is “a sure thing.” Nobody in the United States knows better to-day that he is beaten than Hanna himself. Yet he is stil) lead- : ing the chorus of braggers and bluffers. The object of this, in part, is to divert public attention from the last phase of the Hanna campaign—Bribery. The pur- pose for which Hanna has kept a large portion of his vast campaign fund in hand is now evident. Democratic elec- tion officials are to be bribed, especially in the large cities, to make false counts and false returns. Even in small towns in Indiana and Illinois Democratic elec- tion judges have been approached with of- fers of money, if they will keep the Dem- ocratic vote down to a certain figure in their election districts, Several hundred of these election officials (a number of them right here in St. Louis) are spotted and will be under watchful surveillance until the returns are made and filed. This, too, will be beaten. In spite of coercion, in spite of brag and bluster, in Tuesday by the largest majority in the electoral college and in the popular vote known to the history of politics.

Are you sure you are not its slave? Do you not know that the great corporations, the great money- lenders, the railroad companies, the trusts and monopolies are all acting as one man in this political campaign? Do you be- lieve they have joined forces for your special interest; to keep you employed; to give you a chance to become rich and prosperous; to save your little individual self from becoming one of the great army of tramps and paupers? Don’t you know that they care more for a European prince or duke than for 60,000 plain American cit- |. izens like you? -You are wearing a yellow badge. Are you willing, in cold blood, to.take your place alongside the enemies of yourself, your fellow workman and wage earner, and your country? Don’t you know that the men at the head of this enormous ag- gregation of capital that is solidly back- ing Republicanism and the gold standard spend a large part of their time in Eu- rope; that many of them are aliens who despise this country too much to become naturalized or to vote; that they are hand in glove with the money syndicates of Europe; that their speakers have urged the shooting down of American citizens who dare to vote against their interests, the capture and imprisonment of Mr. Bryan, the Presidential candidate of the masses, and the substitution of “a right- eous monarchy” for the Republic found- ed by Washington and Jefferson? Don’t you know that your yellow badge is looked upon with disgust by your fel- low citizens as the badge of servitude and type of tyranny; that they believe you wear it either as a traitor to your fel- lows, trying to turn the country over to an oligarchy of wealth; or that you are a poor dupe, blindly following the blind into a snare, the magnitude of which ap- palls the thinking mind? Will you continue to flaunt that yellow badge, that danger signal, that sign of the usurer, the enemy of the widow and orphan, the destroyer of manhood rights, the monopolist, the grasping money king, the alien millionaire? Or will you throw it in the gutter, spit upon it, and stand up like a man and proclaim yourself free, independent, the slave of no corporation, the friend of the oppressed, and an Amer- ican sovereign? The labor leaders who are betraying their associates by siding with the Pluto- crats should be turned down and out just as soon as the unions can reach them. It is impossible that an intelligent laboring man can have any doubt as to the inter- ests of labor in this campaign. If he is against Bryan and free silver, the chances are a thousand to one that he is bought with Mark Hanna’s money. A number of industrial establishments have anmounced an increase of wages in case Bryan is elected. Not one has made a similar promise if McKinley is elected, and Mark Hanna foamed at the mouth and declared it to be “sedition” when the, Democrats suggested that the working- men ask their bulldozing employers for a guarantee that wages will not be re- duced if McKinley is elected. * —— — Though the proprietors of the Phila- delphia Item have voted the Republican ticket for twenty years, they have de- clared they will not only support Bryan but raise the wages of all their employes 10 per cent the moment a free silver bill becomes a law. Thousands of other Re- publicans in Pennsylvania know that their party has been misled. nn,. After having been everything conceiv- able, from a Populist to a Righteous Monarchist, John M. Palmer will have opportunity to spend, the rest of his life in retirement—and so far in retirement that people who once thought him a Dem- ocrat will not be stifled by the odors of the Whitney coal oil with which he is saturated. a Se ee ee e HN Toa een The people of the Mississippi Valley will not soon forget how dexterously the Post-Dispatch let the sawdust out of the Mr. Stephens has been an active worker | political bums and refrain from corrupt- Missouri will show Tuesday just how far it can be influénced when option brokers are taken out of the wheat pit and put into the Cabinet to boss it. eo The count next week will show at least three-fourths of the States of the Union against government by trusts, monopo- ligts and. foreign bond syndicates. Bullets may now be deflected by a mag- net and we are to have no more war. What we need further is a magnet that will deflect yellow campaign lies. ‘ Mammon in the Church of God dis- heartens every true Christian. He is de- stroying the church and seeking to de- stroy our free institutions, Hanna should be content with bribing ing the youth of the colleges. Poor old Palmer is à lamentable failure even as a decoy duck.

They are ready at all times to argue the matter after the fashion of their elders, and, indeed, at recess and going to and from school, little else but the chances of the rival candidates is talked of. Further than that, many a boyish “scrap” originates from these embryo political arguments, Even the girls are willing to take a hand, not only in the discussions, but in pugil- istic argument if necessary. At one of the public schools in the Northwest End one day last week a girl of 12 years scrawled a placard reading, What's the matter with McKinley? He's all right.“ A Bryan girl changed it to read that McKinley was no good,” and set up a rival proclamation to the effect that there was nothing the matter with Bryan. Here was a casus belli, and the two rivals went at it in regular female scratching, haeir-pulling style. But the Me- Kinley girl was in a most emphatic minority, and as the Bryan girl’s aids flocked to her support the McKinleyite was routed, horse, foot and dragoons, Five girls—sweet sixteens or thereabouts— of the Crow School were going to their studies Thursday morning. Two wore yel- low and the other three white badges. At Grand and Finney they met a coal black negro—he may have been a burly negro, but that makes no difference. The negro wore: a yellow badge also, and he was delighted with this show of partisanship. That's right, girls,” he said impudently, we isn’t afeard of our colors; is we?’ he remarked, patronizingly. The girls did not seem to be proud of their political affiliator, and if they could have slain him with indignant glanées there would have been a dead coon, sure, thereabouts. But as glances do not kill they had to endure the merciless guying of their Bryan companions the rest of the day, and these demure little schoolgirls can guy for your whiskers, too. The death of William Hall from morphine poisoning last week, when timely assistance might have saved his life, emphasizes the utter stupidity of some street car conduct- ors. Hall was supposed to be drunk, and not knowing where he lived, the conductor carried him to the end of the line and then carefully deposited him on the sidewalk. Supposing he was so drunk as to be utterly unconscious, a man in that condition is as much in need of medical attention, almost as likely to die from lack of it, as though under the influence of any other poison, and if he does not die of acute alcoholism, he is- likely to die of exposure before being discovered, when laid out at the far end of a street car line four or five miles out, where travel at night is very light, and good Samaritans who will waste any time on-a plain drunk few. How much easier it would be to turn such a passenger over to a policeman, or to bring him. back down town. In this case, when the man finally reached the Dispensary the poison had done its work. Prompt work with the stomach pump and antidotes, before the poison had, deen fully absorbed, might have saved him. There are men who need a strong injection | of common sense and common humanity) before they are fitted to cope with the most common problems of life, | A saw was introduced into the jail last week through the medium of a cranberry pie. Presumably it was intended for Willie Carrington, the dude boy burglar. This is not unprecedented. The wonderful part of it is that the guards should have discovered it. Nails, tags and other foreign substances are such frequent concomitants of the boarding-house and restaurant ple of com- merce that it is a matter of surprise that the suspicions of the guards should, have been aroused when the investigating knife met with such resistance. Apropos of boarding-houses, Mrs. Spangler of Park avenue, in sending her boarder, Henry Helwig, to the Work-house, uncon- sciously proclaimed herself the queen of boarding mistresses. Helwig has boarded with her thirteen years. That is a record hard to beat. There have been hiatuses during which he has been incarcerated in durance vile solely because he refused to quit boarding at Mrs. Spangler’s. But, like the cat, Mr. Helwig always came back with a eharpened, appetite. He paid his board with great regularity, but the com- plaint was that the boarder’s appetite was ality is devoid of a good defense, technicality saves men whom juries of t peers on weighing the law and the have declared guilty, The technicality ways favors the prisoner. It opens the way for all sorts of corruption on the part of] prosecuting attorneys and other officers of the courts, There have been many instances in the St. Louis courts wherein guilty men have gone free on trivial technical errors, either in warrant, indictment or in the handling of the witnesses, under circum- stances which leave only the alternative of gross carelessness or connivance by the officers of the State or city, Judge Cald- well holds that common sense is to have an innings in the administration of justice, and the technicality must take a back seat, So mote it be. he: Toe Speaking of prosecuting attorneys and sich, does any one know how Col. Abe Slupsky regards his party’s nomination of Mr. Zachritz to a Circuit Judgeship? Col. Slupsky has reason to remember the Cir- cult Attorney’s methods. A couple of years | ago a man went home one night and de- liberately shot to death his sleeping wife while she held her infant in her arms, If there wes a single extenuating circumstance or any reason why the murderer should not have been tried for willful and malicious murder it has not developed. The deed was not done in the heat of quarrel. The woman was asleep and never woke. In spite of an this, Mr. Zachritz agreed to a plea of guilty of second degree ot „ and a sen- tence of fifteen years in the penitentiary. The murdered woman was a near relative of Col. Slupsky. Will blood or partisanship tell when the great reformer goes to cast his vote? . . — + There are plenty ot thoughtful men who believe that no one man should be intrusted with the dangerous power of entering nolle prosses and of accepting a plea of guilty to a lesser offense than is charged without any of the evidence being heard by the judge. That this power is used tn favor of political friends the disposal of the Foerstel case sufficiently shows. That it has been used at various times and places by cor- rupt officials is just as ceftain. That the temptation to use this power from corrupt or partisan motives is always present can- not. be denied. Those who believe that jus- | tice should be administered in the interests of society believe that the judge on the bench should not be an automaton, and ft is promised that an effort will be made soon to modify the powers of prosecuting officers in Missouri.

Labor has never had a better friend than Lon V. Stephens. This fact is at- tested by such labor leaders as Debs and Sovereign. i ' The letters of Debs and Sovereign are printed in this issue of the Post-Dispatch. They are conclusive. But the best proof of Mr. Stephens’ friendship to workingmen was afforded by his earnest efforts dur- ing three sessions of the Legislature to is here and here to stay. Under that law effectually turned into a boomerang. The people’s appropriation of the na- tional flag yesterday saved Old Glory from the foulest pollution with which it was ever threatened—prostitution to the infamous uses of Mark Hanna’s cam- paign of boodle and bulldozing. Capital im itself is a dead thing, is as unquickened seed; for until labor puts life into it, it ylelds no produce of profit. Who can be enthusiastic in making profits which others gather up? There is no dignity in that sort of labor. Some silly billy in the New York Press is accusing Nathaniel Hawthorne’s son of “spreading anarchy and repudiation.” The yellow campaign is the most idiotic that men supposed to be sane have ever carried on in this country.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—There will be an Unusual innovation in the service of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States to-morrow, and it will be observed generally in the churches of New York, for, so far as cam be learned, all of the local “Election Prayer.“ Which has been written by Bishop Satter- lee of Washington. Bishop Potter approves of the prayer, holding that it is in no wise political, as it simply asks that the sense of responsibility in the voter be deepened, and asserts that the right of suffrage is a trust for the use of which divine direction should be asked. This is the reading of the prayer which the Bi s have suggested: Most Gracious , we humbly b ch Thee, for the people of these United States in general, that Thou wouldst deepen in them a sense of thel ibility LONDON, Oct. 8.—London is greatly in- commoded by the cab strike. The drivers have started a system of boycotting the railroad stations which has produced scenes of confusion and exasperation at the dif- ferent depots. Huge piles of baggage are set down by the railway stations and cro wis of indignant male and female Britons, ham- pered by bags, packages, etc., are fretting and fuming.

Advices received here from Athens state that the Greek government will introduce a bill during the coming session of the Boule or Legislative Assembly, of Greece, providing for quadriennial Olympic games in the Sta- dion. M. G. Averoff, the wealthy Greek merchant who, in part, restored the Stadion for the games of this year, has written to the Crown Prince of Greece offering the sum of 3,500,000 drachmas to reconstruct the Stadion in pentelic marble. Various paragraphs have appeared in the English society papers during the past few weeks in regard to the Boodles Club. A short time ago it was announced that the prem- ises had been sold to the Royal Yacht Squadron and that they would hereafter have the historic clubhouse in St. James street for their town house. Color was given to the report from the fact that the annual meeting of the squadron is always held at the Boodles and that many of its bers are also members ‘of the Royal ‘ht uadron. he last report is that the Royal Thames Club had secured the Boodles. As a mat- ter of fact, both reports are entirely with- out foundation, and the only change con- templated in regard to the famous old club whether it shall remain a proprietary club, or whether the members shall buy it and run it themselves.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 3I.— The applica- tion for a receiver for a part of the Vandalia Railroad system was filed in the United States Court last evening. This is the pros- pective suit that was mentioned several weeks ago and at that time officials of the road denied that there would be a suit fort receiver. K The suit is brought by owners and holders of $1,405,000 of bonds of the Terre Haute and Peoria Railway, who allege that there is due to them on these bonds $35,375, to- gether with interest from Sept. 1, 1896. The complainants in the case are Mark T. Cox and James A. Blair of New Jersey and James W. Paul of Philadelphia. The date for hearing the suit WIIl probably be fixed for the latter part of next week. * Vou can depend on “ai SO ; GRIP, COLDS, COUGHS, CATARRH, - INFLUENZA, SORE THROAT.

The trial of an ordinary ejectment suit before Justice of the Peace Frank Klei- ber’s court has brought to light a peculiar case of attempt at fraudulent registra- tion. On Oct. 1d John M. Wilson, the real es- tate agent, brought: an ejectment suit against Louisa Neil, living at 213 South Main street, in the Eighteenth Ward. The woman owed $14 rent for the three rooms she occupied and would not pay up, so a summons was issued against her from Justice Haughton’s court, This sum- mons was returnable Oct.

Stephens Is a Friend to the Workingman and of Organized Labor. Recently a circular was printed and distributed as a campaign docu- ment by the Republicans, reproducing a letter written by Lon V. Stephens in 1894 to the Sunday Mirror of St. Louis, published by William Reedy, now Secretary of the Gold Bug Committee of Missouri. This circular was distributed for the purpose of trying to prejudice the voters against Mr, Stephens because of one clause in his letter referring to the strikes of 1894. ” | ' During the great excitement of the railroad strikes of 1894 even some of the truest friends of organized labor uttered harsh words concerning Messrs. Debs and Sovereign. They did so because of the misleading re- perts of a subsidized press, which credited these gentlemen with senti- . ments in favor of lawlessness and riot which they never entertained. As soon as the falsity and unfairness of these reports became known genuine friends of organized labor, like Lon V. Stephens, acknowledged their error, and withdrew their harsh crfticisms. But now the very men who made war on organized labor seek to discredit Mr; Stephens by issu- ing this circular. That this effort by labor’s enemies to discredit labor's true friend has ignominiously failed conclusively appears from the fol- W. T.

Specia! to the Post-Dispatch. MILAN, Mo., Oct. 31.—To-day for the first time in the history of Sullivan County the American flag was insulted. It was done to-day by the Republicans. They have control of the county offices, and to show their authority they placed the Ameri- can flag at half-mast on top of the Court House. Directly above it they placed a ten- foot yellow streamer bearing the name of McKinley, the yellow representing gold. It is thought by the people of Sullivan County that Old Glory should be above everything else. It was believed that an attempt would be made to tear the streamer down and burn it in the public streets, but older heads prevented any attack, as the treatment of the flag was only damaging to the party who insulted it.

Therefore, I recently visited Missouri and made a close inquiry into the charges referred to, but I found beyond a question of doubt that you do not now and have not since you have had an opportunity to learn the. true facts concerning Mr. Debs and myself, classed either of us with any element of society other than the peaceable, law-abiding citizens of this republic. I found on the other hand that those foremost in distributing your letter of Aug. 26, 1894, for no other purpose than to defeat your election, are the real enemies of labor, and belong to the same class of citizens who hoisted the red flag and cried “anarchy’’ in the gambling hell of Wall street when the nomination of Wm. J. Bryan was flashed over the wires. Like hundreds of other good citizens you said harsh words concerning Debs and myself during the excitement of 1894. It was at a time when the public re- ceived.most of its information through the subsidized press, which in this cam- paign commends the coercion of the poor, supports a single gold standard and denounces all of us, Gov. Stone and yourself included, as repudiators, revolu- tionists and anarchists. These facts alone are sufficient to covince me of your friendship to labor. If I opposed all who spoke disparagingly of me during the excitement of 1854. I would break friendship with many of the truest friends of labor now before the public, and Mark Hanna and all other enemies of labor would rejoice at such a course. Having received full assurance that you measure the character of Mr. Debs and myself in the light of existing facts and knowing the grand struggle you are now making in the cause of the common people, I would think myself an enemy to the best interests of American labor if I raked up expres- sions from the excited periods of the past to oppose you in this great struggle for right and justice.

HON. LON V. STEPHENS, Jefferson City, Mo.: My Dear Sir~My attention has been called to a letter written to you by Mr. J. R. Sovereign, G. M. W. Knights of Labor. in reference to certain statements credited to you in an article purported to have been written by you to the St. Louis Sunday Mirror of Aug. 26, 1894, touching "pon the Chicago labor troubles of that year, and my connection therewith. The circulars to which Mr. Sov- eign refers were also sent to me from various sources, but I paid no particular attention to them, knowing that many good people, deceived by the false and misleading reports which appeared in the press at that time, expressed them- selves in more or. less similar terms, and it should be said in all candor that if only a small part of those reports were true, the conclusions in question were not only fair, but patriotic.. From information I have had I am satisfied that the language in question was inspired wholly by false and vicious press reports, and I have no hesitancy in indorsing fully the sentiments expressed in the communication from Mr. Sovereign. From what I know of you from others who know you well, and in whose word I have implicit faith, I am satisfied no injustice to labor was intended by your utterances, and that consequently no laboring man should bear you the slightest prepjudice on that account.

At the next house was a crowd of young men and boys, decorated with white badges and armed with tin horns and whistles, It was their special endeavor to yell down any cheering that might be done by those in the parade, As time passed the excitement grew high» er. The crowd in the second house awarmed over the fence and joined forces with the Hicks party, all of whom were also silver. ites. The combined forces did some very energetic and effective cheering. Mr. Ewald, with his club on the opposite side of the street, was making all the noise and doing all the cheering the situation seemed to demand, but could not drown the silver shouters over on Rev. Hicks’ steps. Mr. Ewald pushed through the crowd and the parade so as to get nearer to his op- ponents on the steps. He was greatly ex- cited and waved a flag wildly over his head, as he headed for the Bryan rooters. His friends tried to dissuade him, Such men as Gov. Stanard, C. H. Spencer, Will Boyd and others in his immediate vicinity counseled a more temperate and moderate course, but Mr. Ewald would not Hsten to them, He rushed at the white badges, as if he intended to storm the steps and carry the whole crowd away with one de- termined rush, He was met at the edge of the front yard by Rev. Hicks, who held up his hand, In warning and cautioned Mr. Ewald not to get so excited, Ran for McKinley!” shouted the veteran grain merchant and then he shook his fists angrily at the Bryan shouters on the steps. Rev, Hicks could. ‘scarcely make himself heard Mr. wald would yell Rah for Me- Kinley,” and the crowd on the steps would yell Rah for for Bryan. ” Suddenly Mr, Hwaid stopped.

It was history of.the Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Thuriow Weed Barnes, a man of large wealth, a well- known Republican politician and the hus- bad of the daughter of the late millionaire, John Morris, has been made defendant in a sult. for divorce. Much mystery and se- crecy envelopes this legal transaction. Mrs. Barnes, the beautiful sister of A. H. and D. H. Morris, conspicuous at the Morris Park and other race tracks, and owner of race horses, has not lived with Mr. Barnes for more than two years, and just now she is occupying a handsome chateau in the sub- urbs of Paris. After the marriage, nine years ago, at which time the father of Miss Morris pre- sented her with a check for $500,000, the couple were devoted and apparently happy. This felicity, it appeared, reigned for five or six years. hen there were differences and a parting. ; Rumor has it that Mrs. Barnes objected to her husband’s friendship for Virginia Harned, the actress; anyway, they separ- ated, and Mr. Barnes took bachelor apart- ments. He aa rooms at a rental of $1,200 a year. here he could found usually when not at the office of the Stand- ard Telephone Company, at his favorite club, the Hardware, in the same building, or at Delmonico’s. But now all is changed. Mr, Barnes is not in sight at any of these places. Virginia Harned was a prominent society belle and amateur actress in Boston about ten years ago. In 1887 she surprised her friends by announcing her intention of going ou the stage. She came to this city and made her professional stage debut in a minor role of Harry Lacy’s production of Joseph Arthur’s “Still Alarm” at the Four- teenth Street Theater. Daniel Frohman admired her acting and. engaged her for his stock company. Her greatest success in the Lyceum Company was as Drusilla Ives in The Dancing Girl.“ She was E. H. Sothern’s leading lady for a number of seasons. Two seasons ago she was.engaged by A. M. Palmer for his orig- inal production of “Trilby.” Miss Harned originated the title role. An Answer From Sedalia. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: We ask space to deny certain falsehoods, which have been circulated against Sedalia in printed pamphlets, which are unsigned. story that Sedalia failed to keep its romises in removing the county seat of ettis County is absolutely false. An exam- mation of the act (laws of 1864, page 283) will show that the money for the Court House had to be deposited before the county seat could be changed. Sedalia was then a village of 80, on the railroad, and by reason of the dangers of the Civil War the records were kept in St. Louis. Sedalia built the Court House, and it was afterwards burned. The ceunty then built a second Court House, and that also was burned. In 1884 the county erected its present magnifi- cent Court House. | The claim that the water supply of Sedalia is deficient is also false. The waterworks are situated two and one-half miles from the Court House, on the Lamine River. The settling reservoir holds 65,000, 000 gallons of water. The impounding reservoir holds 960,000,000 gallons of water. The present ca- pacity of the waterworks is adequate for a city of 60,000, and™t can be increased inde- finitely by the addition of new reservoirs, The claim that Sedalia is not well sewered is also false. The public records of the city show that in the last nine years the sum of „788. has been spent for main sewers, and $60,717.12 for district sewers, making a total of $116, No record exists for sewer expenditu prior to 1887, but they far — 2 the total just mentloned for the past e years. ‘. The claim that any Chicago syndicate or any speculative land. com y Owns any land in Sedalia is false, and we call atten- tion to the fact that the unsigned pamphlets making this charge have never dared to specify the name of any person in this con- | nection, and we challenge any responsible and reputable person to sustain this false charge of our opponents over his signature. Having denied these campaign circular we make this explicit claim that no city in the United States, large or small, can pro- portionately show as many miles of paved streets, as many miles of street railways, as many miles of sewers, as the city of Se- dalla has. No small city in the West but Topeka can compare in any way with Se- dalia in matter of paved streets, and no small city inthe West, with the exception of San Diego, Cal, in sewerage facilities, If the capital is removed to Sedalia no Mis- sourian need ever again feel ashamed of his capital city; on the contrary, the city of Sedalia, with its beautiful streets and resi- dences and fortunate natural location, will soon rival any Gapital city in the American Union, and become a fit representative of the great State of Missouri.

Fires One Girl and Threatens Others for Wearing Bryan Badges. When Miss Theresa Burns of 1504 Pine street strode into the Post-Dispatch office last she wore Bryan's picture, a Bryan badge of independence and a bunch of red roses. There was fire in her eye, and her bosom heaved with indignation. She was looking for blood. She had been discharged for 8 4 Bryan badge, and she wanted revenge, hot 28 right off the griddle, a foot ck. From last March until the torrid spelf in the summer Miss Burns was employed at the Queen City Laundry, 1319 Pine street, of which Oscar Richter is proprietor. About two weeks ago, at the golicitation of Mrs. Richter, who was shy on help, she resumed her place remained at work until noon yesterda Then she was fired. ) “I know what it was for,” declared Miss Burns, excitedly... It was because I wore this!“ pointing proudly to the white badge which proclaimed: Jam for Bryan and American Manhood.” “And I told her 80,“ declared Miss Burns. “T know why she discharged me, and I told her so. I said: ‘I am an Irish girl, and I‘m proud of it. You can go and talk to your Dutch, but you can't talk to me. I am in- dependent, and I will think as I please. 1 don’t want to stay in your place, but I dare ou to put me out.“ It's a good thing I left when I did, for if I hadn’t I would have done her up, sure. I'll get even with her yet!” said Mis Burns. Just watch me!“ Honest labor is no disgrace. I’m Irish and I’m independent and I’m for Bryan, and I’m proud of him, although I have lost my job on account of him. That's the kind of a girl I am. Last Tuesday morning,“ said Miss Burns, “Mrs. Richter tore a Bryan badge off of one of the women employed there—I don’t know her name—and threw it in the stove. The act was witnessed by Kate Dewar and Mamie Smith. “Friday afternoon she commanded one of the girls, named Cella, to take off her badge, and when she refused she threatened — 3 her.

WILDLY ENTHUSIASTIC. ‘housand True-Hearted Work- men Turned Out to Show What They Could Do. More than 50,000 freemen marched last might for the integrity of American man- hood and the perpetuity of American insti- tutions. There was not a man among them who does not believe in the justice of the silver cause, There was not a man among them who does not fight with his heart and soul in the cause of the people against plutoc- racy. There was not a man among them all who will not cast his ballot as his con- science dictates. 1 Their faith is founded on the principles taught by their forefathers, and no bribe or threat can change it. They marched as freemen for the freedom of the people, demanding equal rights for ell, special privileges to none. The rich and the poor went side by side; many were ragged and tattered; many were tired and worn, but their hearts beat true to the watchwords of their leaders, for the love of the right that is in them. No man in all that great une that stretched in almost an endless chain from Lucas Square far to the west on Easton avenue and back again had felt coercion's spur to make him bear a torch. Not one single marcher had aught to gain save through the prosperity that will follow the triumph of their views. Not a head was bowed in shame. The yells of victory in prospect were mingled with no tones of re- gret. , They were there of their own free will, a living protest R the organized forces ef coe capi Far up the wide stretches of the square way back streets at the side for more man of rocking a silvery sea of ocean burnished by the From one end to the . there arose getting sun. at n 1 Ita dirty tattered sides it bore this ee American manhood is better than crowd which ge on the after 7 o'clock swelled and un ble to bring order out of the confus- There were no men in uniform.

This was the case particularly with the street railway men, and at every recog- nition there was a shout of approval and cheers for the men who marched for Hanna because oT had to and for Bryan use they wanted toa One conductor greeted a friend with a ringing cheer for Bryan and added: Tou had the laugh on me to-day, but I'm all right now.“ Everywhere there was evidence that the coerce old bug sentiment had died. The spirit was evidenced even in the deco- rations along the line. Nine out of ten illu- minated windows, and there were thousands bearing in their centers pictures of the freemen’s candidate. The transparencies were a feature of the parade that never failed to capture the crowd. As far as the eye could reach the home- made but expressive could be seen bobbing up and down above the torches like buoys on a sea of fire. One of the first to catch the eye was this: We, have no band, but blow our own The punster got in his work, too, as these Words show: ‘Meriwether, November 3.“ “Hunt votes for Bryan.“ The Eighth Ward Club was headed by a oy bearing the words: “iy h ard Anarchi:ts.”’ Another read: Hanna's Money Can't 2. BY “Scratch Eggers, the Police Court Fixer,” was a sentiment loudly cheered right down the line. Another expressive one read: The Gold Sdandard will put three-fourths of the 3 people on the hog. Down with “Hanna, you're a Mark,” was another choice morsel. “May labor’s thorns be no sharper than those carried with the sweetness of the rose,” was a beautiful sentiment, beauti- fully put. ellow pa- | pieces,“ was a sign at the head of a de- tachment with tin horns. “Prayer is no evidence of another. A significant sign had, “You made us march for Hanna to-day, but you can’t do it now.“ “Just tell Hanna that you saw us,” was another sign well received. One enthusiastic workman marched at the head of his column with a copy of the Post-Dispatch on a stick. The people’s pa- per was loudly cheered wherever the crowd caught sight of it. here all the silver men came from was a mystery. The miles of street covered by the parade were thickly lined with men and by far the larger part of them wore white ribbons. There were at least as many men on the eidewalks as there were in line. Had it been sible to secure torches for them it would have been almost Impossible to have finished the parade till well into Sunday morning. There were certainly twice as many men in the silver parade as there were in/ the afternoon demonstra*ion. In other words, the gold men with all their money and or- ganization were beaten at their own * What newspapers say will have little in- fluence for the reason that the people saw both parades and are capable of judgin for themselves just how far superior in numbers the demonstration of the silver men was. The credit for the great outpouring be- longs to the Workingmen’s Bryan Club and to Grand Marshal Frank Hil! and his aides. While the parade was more or less dis- insanity,” was organized, it was necessarily so, owing to} the short time given for preparation and the lack of funds. Rally at Greenville.

HOSS BOLTER OF THEM ALL. HANNA’S DECOY DUCK DECLARES HIMSELF AT MUSIC HALL. GEN. PALMER HAD A FROST. Wind-Up of the “Sound Money” Jubi- lee Becomes a McKinley Love Feast. John M. Palmer’s invasion of Missouri came to an end in Music Hall last night. In his final effort at landing the State in Mark Hanna’s column he had the able assistance of as many as 500 Republicans, a few of whom masquerade as Democrats. Most of these were in the parquet, filling up the seats down near the footlights and stretch- ing away into emptiness near the dress circle. There was a sparse fringe of hu- manity in the first row of the circle, and after that was vacant chairs. The audience in the gallery consisted by actual count from the stage of twenty white folk, four negroes and eight police- mon. This was at the commencement of the proceedings. Later the policemen and half tha white folk went out to look at the silver parade, The feature of the proceedings was the display of verbal gymnastics indulged in by the speakers in their efforts to advise their auditors to vote for Mark Hanna’s man. The strain was a little too great and before the meeting was over it was changed into a McKimey love feast. John McDonald Trimble, the Knocker’s Club er as a candidate for Governor, started the ball rolling by — his audi- ence to scratch Lon Stephens for Filley’s man Lewis, and David R. Francis, a mem- ber of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet, wound it up by prophesying Bryan’s defeat in the country at large and in St. Louis in par- ticular by 50,000 majority. The audience was largely Republican. Mr. Filley had sent down quite a delegation of the colored brethren to help out the enthus- iasm. They did well. The meeting did not open at the time an- nounced. The managers waited in the hope that the hall would fill up. But the crowd did not come. Metaphorically there was frost on the walls and icicles on the foot- lights. The early comers turned up their overcoat collars and waited. About 8:30 o’clock the footsteps.of Gen. John M. Palmer, John McD. Trimble, Col. James O. Broadhead and Mr. Edward Cun- ningham woke the echoes of the empty hall as they walked to the center of the stage. Mr. Cunningham heard the sepulchral resonance from beyond the footlights and gave the band a quick motion to commence roceedings. Leading members of the i nockers Club followed them and took seats on the platform. Among them were Joseph M. Donovan, Leo Erlich, Henry T. Kent, Peter L. Foy, Rolla Wells, Dr. John M. Snyder, P. Tansey, F. N. Judson, James Campbell, John Hill, A. Moll, Joseph A. Seddon, Judge Amos Thayer, William N. Reedy and Joseph A. White. Mr. Cleveland’s new Secretary of the In- terlor, David R.

CHAPTER FROM THE RECORD OF A CANDIDATE. TRUCKLES TO THE THUGS. Andther Instance ef How a Repub- lican Nominee Violates His Pledges to the People. If William Zachritz were running for the office of Circuit Judge solely on his record as a wielder of the nolle prosequi privilege, and that were a good platform in the public estimation, he could be elected by a tre- mendous majority. ‘ William has certainly earned the title of Nolle Prosequi Zachritz. He is as much entitled to it as Gen. Jadk- son was to the title of “Stonewall,” or as Gen. Taylor was to that of “Old Rough and Ready.“ f The statement could not be “wholly un- trué” if convict labor was used at all in the construction of the State buildings, or of buildings, or of the highways in efferson City. We know and assert that convict labor has been used in past years | on the streets of Jefferson City, in erect- ing private residences and business houses, and in cotistructing State buildings. We have seen them at work outside of the pen- itentiary walls within the past ten years. We know that the convicts were used in construct! the addition to the Supreme Court Building about eix years ago, and we are informed that the convicts made the | brick that were used in the additions to the | State Capitol. There may be no convicts at work outside | ft nitentiary under the management | of enter Pace, but that official denies too much when he says that Jefferson City is not a convict labor town. More than 2,000. convicts are in the penitentiary, and their labor is t in tition with that of. 184 e convicts were used up Sefferson Cit to } ay and to we * — buildings for near ty years, an ey have been used on the State buildin with- in the last at of seven years.

Last night John Lawler of 3915 Papin street, employed in the repair shops of the Lindell Street Railway Co., was march. ing with a silver club from the Thirteenth Ward, where he used to live. On Twelfth street they passed car No. of the Un Depot Line, which had been caught in a blockade. Some employe of the company, supposed to be the conductor, leaned out of a win- dow, and after calling the marchers black- legs, anarchists and other pet namés, com- menced to spit on them. 1 in a speech which was ap- he delegations were from many sections of the country, prertinent among them be- 4 — * workers of Elwood, Ind.: em- . the National Carbon Company of eveland, O.; Stark County (O.) people, in- ing many ladies; large numbers from es and Youngstown, O.; Indiana, Penn- ivania, West Virginia, Ohio and other states were represented.

What is the use of prosecuting a criminal, any way, as long as he has friends? A criminal who has a friend with a polit- ical pull is a gentleman, in the estimation of such a man as Zachrits, and his interests should be carefully fostered and his release secured if —— — Political friends a man must have, if he would get office, reasons Mr. Zachritz, and hé probably had this idea in mind more than three years ago when he nolle prosequied three notorious cases and thereby aroused the righteous indignation of members of the , Grand-jury and other citizens, The cases were those of Bell Coplon, alias — 2 charged with burglary in the sec- ond degree and with being a habitual crim- inal; James Smith, receiving stolen property, and Martin Pollock, burglary in the second degree and larceny. The fact that Smith and Pollock were sa- loonkeepérs may throw some Heut on the action of the champion nolle prosser of St. Louis. All thrée offenders were duly indicted b the Grand-jury—Copion in anuary, 1895, and the others in May, the same year—but Zachritz, in his broadness of mind and goodness of heart, considerately nolle pros- uled the cases when they were call for trial, and the offenders were set free. The evidence in each case was so positive that the members of the different Grand- uries were shocked at learning of Nolle os Willatm’s action. Assistant Circuit Attorney Jesse McDon- ald investigated the cases and called the attention of the July Grand-jury to them, and that body, after thorough investigation and deliberation, reindict each of the three men named. When the list was turned over to Circuk Attorney Zachritz, July 22, 1883, he snorted and foamed at the mouth and raised a scene in Judge Edmunds court such as is rarely nessed, He denounced Mr. McDonald as a coward and created such a sensation that the daily newspapers gave the item consid- erable space. It was generally agreed by the press at the time that Nolle Pros William was in the wrong. 1 do not propose,“ he declared, dramati- eally, to let elther the Grand-Jury or Jesse d run my affairs. These cases have been nolle pross’d, and now the parties have been reindicted!“ In open court Zachritz announced his de- termination to nolle pros the cases again as soon as they should be called for trial; and so he did. This action so aroused the public at the time that M of the July Grand Jury, 1393, and at pres- St. Louis has long felt the want of a first- class dental parlor, furnished with all the latset improved scientific devices and ap- pliances for the performance of operations strictly without pain. The National Dental rlors, 720 Olive street, is one office in the est that affords such thorough equip- ments. Here you will find specialists of many years’ experience, who thoroughly un- derstand the wants of each case coming under the notice for treatment, who have appliances and formula at hand whereby they are enabled to perform the most diffi- cult operatiehs without pain.

Nothing came of it, how- ever, and the matter was allowed to drop, as in scores of other cases which have been wiped off the docket by the facile pen of Zachritz. Bell Coplon, alias Kapler, was arrested Oct. 22, 1892, charged with breaking open a | freight car consigned to the St. Louis Smelt- ing and Refining Co., and stealing 52 bars of metal. The metal was traced to the place where Coplon had sold it, and he was fully iden- tified, yet in the light ‘of these facts the man was allowed to go free. April 14, 1893, the building of the Hamil- ton-Miller Paint Manufacturing Company, 2506 North Broadway, was broken open and _@ quantity of goods stolen. Abraham E.

The Republicans took advantage of the day to have a monster parade, parti- cipated in re variously estimated at between 20,000 and 35,000 The line was made up of marching clubs, resentatives of the many industrial es- tablishments and unhorganized bodies of cit- izens.

British Officials Coping With Distress in Two Great Divisions of the Empire. — — LONDON, Oct. A.— Wheat and currency questions are still attracting great attention here. The Spectator this week publishes an interesting article on the rise in wheat and its bearing upon protection and bimetallism. In the course of it, it says: f “The rise in the price of bread is likely soon to lead to unrest in the labor market. The present activity in trade gives labor organizations a favorable opportunity for pressing demands for higher wages; but it remains to be seen how far the recent im- provement in trade can be maintained, if a material rise in wages is insteted on. ere are endless poseibi ties of friction, if the price of bread becomes a serious question. We can only hope that the politicians who are coquetting with the various forms of protection will learn to 9 * the IX. sons that will be expounded dy events, Of the price of bread is materially affected dur- ing the coming winter. How should we fare now if the establishment of an imperial zollverein forced us to look to home produc- tion and the Canadian surplus to fill our own mouths and for the needs of India? “From a financial point of view, the rise in cereals shows a strong cause for fur- — large movements of gold to the Uni tates. Indian advices show now that whether rain falls or not there must be Keen dis- tress in the Northwest provinces and in Oude, and the Indian overnment must be prepared to succor the population by at least 40,000,000 of relief operations conducted according to the so-called famine code. Or- ders have already been given to these offi- cials to prepare for an immediate enforce- ment of famine measures. While famine is threatened in India through the drought, the west of Ireland is declared to be face to face with famine owing to heavy rains which have caused a failure of the crops, especially potatoes. Throughout September and during the be- ginning of October there Was an almost incessant downpour of rain. There have pees tent floods in the northwest of the slan Many of the inhabitants must feel pangs of famine before Christmas. The situation is compared to that of 1879 when a disas- trous harvest led to a revival of political disorders in Ireland. However, the tef Secretary for Ireland, Mr. Gerald Balfour, during his recent tour of the affected dis- tricts, secured information which, he says, will enable him to cope with the distress | which he is now ready to meet.

SOMETHING ABOUT COURSING. That Appeals Strongly % True Sports- | men. Coursing is a comparatively strange pas- time in this part of the wor for. although it has ben carried on tn the vicinity of St. Louis the past fifteen years, its votaries chose * de its light under the proverbial bushe 1 for that reason more than any othefty People know but little about it. w opening of the Fair Grounds this aft ifn the citizens of St. Louis will see th. .wauguration of what should be the greatest season of coursing ever conducted ir the United States. The noble and an- dent sport has hitherto existed in out of the way places such as the big prairie towns of the st, principally the Dakotas and Kan- gas, It has lived sporadically in the cities of the East and, in the towns of New York State ‘has flourished surprisingly. At va- rious times it has been introduced in the cities of the Middie West. Owing to the fact that the promoters were not always | ‘what they Should have been and also to the fact that they were in the “show business” | and had but little money to spend in the campaign of education, which is always necessary to the successful introduction of A4 néw article, these cours.ng attempts were _ not guccessful. In any event they did not ' fulfill the desire of the true lover of the leash—they did not introduce the sport to the people nor did they sow the seeds of fu- dure success. in St. Louis things are different. While it is a fact that for years a coursing club ran weekly meets at Brentwood, fourteen miles out in the county, the average St. Louisan did not learn much about coursing, because Brentwood was a remote and not at all attractive spot, and to speak truly the votaries of the pastime were selfish. They did not court publicity beyond their own immediate ranks, and were not in- clined to educate the public in the beau- ties of the sport, although it needed naught but thé seeing to make an enthusiastic, if not a finished courser out of the average well constituted American. Last fall St. Louisans were given their first taste of coursing. Prior to that time a few illy-managed meets had been con- ducted at the Fair Grounds with but poor success. In October of 1895 the Kossuth Avenue Club ran several rather fishy Sun- day meets at the Grand Park on Natural Bridge road. While, unfortunately, they could not be denominated as successful from any coursing standpoint, they de- monstrated the entire feasibility of con- ducting enclosed coursing at the Fair Grounds, and also that the people of St. Louis would take to the sport as a young greyhound does to its game. This encopraged the St. Louis Coursing Club which had been running all winter at Brentwood, to transfer its big spring stake for thirty-two all aged greyhounds from Brentwood to the Fair Grounds. The meeting was a griater success than the most sanguine lover of the sport could have dreamed of. The opening days were cold and bitter and the attend- ance was small, being princi- pally made up of what is known to the course as sy . The stake opened on Friday. On turday the crowd showed an encouragi increase of numbers and enthusiasm. e stake was finished on that day, and on Sunday a consolation stake for the dogs beaten in the big event was given. This day broke all previous rec- ords in the way of attendance, and ap- parent thorough appreciation of the sport. our thousand people. saw the stake run off. In spite of the intense cold they stayed until the end, although the de- lays were mag. ene in such weather ex- asperating. e spectators enjoyed the rt keenly and evinced their apprecia- tion of tts beauties by loudly cheering every point made by the hare or the hounds. They showed a truly wonderful ability in acquiring a knowledge of the points, and nearly everybody in the stand could give a shrewd guess at the winner of a course before the judges’ flag gave them their cue. In one memorable case, the White Dia- mond-Loughrea Lass course, they seemed to have a better appreciation of the points made than did the judge himself, who was no less & personage than Mr. Stephenson, @ gentien n who has judged some of the largest m@ tings given in this country. 25 With this event the coursing season of 189 went out in good style. The local coursers went into the dog days with bricht hopes for the future. There was a great deal of rejoicing among the Showers of the greyhounds when the St. Louis r Association announced its intention of taking coursing under its pro- tection, and of giving a series of meetings which will extend over the season of winter, The Fair Association is naturally fitted to take charge of the sport. They have the territorial conveniences necessary and it is composed of gentlemen Whose names are @ guarantee that all that is best in the pastime shall be encouraged, aad b sar anything noxious that might — — * * will be very quickly and thoroughly cated. mot a place in America where . be carried on with such suc- » cess as at the Fair * nds.

Indeed, t is very desirable that puss should escape, as her death savors a trifle of cruelty, and she is rather an expensive luxury, cost- ing about $2.50 in St. Lou's. As the course can be decided just as well when the hare | escapes as when she is killed it is to be hoped that many a good running hare will reach the escapes ahead of the dogs. Another thing that should not be forgotten fs that the average greyhound is far speed- fer than the average jack rabbit. The latter can escape only by nimbly dodging her pur- suers until she reaches the haven rovided for her by nature or art, namely e hole into which the dogs cannot follow. It is this dodging that constitutes not a mall part of the beauty of coursing. It always brings | forth cheers from the neophytes when puss almost in the fanged jaws of her pursuers. shakes them off by a deft twist or turn and once more assumes a safe lead on the dogs.

ANN ARBOR AND HARVARD. How Missouri Has Struggled for the Pennant—Looks to Be Playing Foxy. Notwithstanding the failure last year to make foot ball poular in St. Louis, the ath- letic enthusiasts in Missouri have not de- spaired. A local league has been formed, and several excellent games are scheduled for this city. Even the State University will visit us again before the season is over, and its club hopes to meet a better finan- cial return than it did last year. There is no reason why St. Louis should mot be as good a foot ball town as any. The fault is not in the quality of playing to be seen here. It is well known, at least among patrons of tthe game, that Western foot ball is now up to the standard of the East. When Ann Arbor, which did not have the strong: st team in the West, played Harvard last year and allowed them only one touch down, the fact was demonstrated that the old universities must look upon the newer colleges, not as fields for material, but as rivals. The organization which has probably done more than any other to bring about this condition is the Interstate League of Collegiate Football, consisting of the State Universities of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. This league was organized Nov. 29, 1891, at a meeting in the parlors of the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, and was made to include the season just closed. By that arrangement Kansas Uni- versity, which had won every game ex- cept one forfeited to Iowa over a ques- tionable decision, recelved the pennant. Next year a hard struggle took place. Kansas secured her coveted revenge on Iowa, but Missouri would probably have captured the pennant if she had not re- fused to play Nebraska owing to personal objections to one of the players. By this Kansas, which had already beaten her sis- ter State, again secured the prize. In 1893 a curious complication resulted. Missouri, which at the first of the season — been very weak, braced up strongly by Thanksgiving day and simply destroyed the hitherto successful Jayhawkers. Since each club had then lost a game, the pen- nant was in doubt; and the council] decided that the next game between the two schools should decide the question, but that if such another case should arise, the championship should go to that club against which the fewest points had been scored. Under this ruling, the Thanksgiving day game of 1894 really settled two champion- ships. Missouri was weak and out of con- dition,.consequeptly she lost the game and the pennant of 1893. But Nebraska, which had already beaten Kansas unmercifully, was awarded the prize for 1894. Last year, 1895, was the greatest cam- paign of the league. Nebraska’s club was the stongest that State ever sent out: while Missouri and Kansas, the first under the direction of Pop“ Bliss of Yale, the second under Cowan of Princeton, arrived at a degree of efficiency never before attained in the West. Missouri lost to Nebraska on what she has always claimed to be an extremely rank decision of the umpire. There seems to be considerable justice in her claim. Kansas managed to pull the game with Nebraska out of the fire when it seemed hopelessly lost. The game, then, in Kansas City last Thanksgiving Day was invested with a two-fold interest, the fight for the pennant and Missouri’s desire for vindication. The clubs were evenly matched, and the spectators saw the best foot ball game ever played in the West. Kansas was with- in two yards of victory when the referee’s whistle blew and saved the day for Mis- sourl. But the score was so close, 10 to 6, thet under the early ruling of the council, the pennant went again to Kansas. This year the struggle will be harder than ever. Iowa, which in the past has en woefully weak, so much so that last year she failed to score in any league game, is not expected to cut much of a figure. Ne- braska has been keeping very still, but her recent victory over e shows that she may have some kind of a surprise to pre- sent to her rivals. Kansas is agian strong, but lacks 1 coaching that served well last year. ner Go Wen * C. E. VALERY. did not count. PROVED. ‘ > 5h Whe Bey — > * - a * nar 9 ED CUTHBERT’S PERSUASION. The Old Ball Player Responsible for Interjecting Chris Into the Game. The sale of Breitenstein put the old base- ball crank in a reminiscent mood. He had been talking to a group of interested listen- ers about the great players St. Louis has seen during the past fifteen years. He was well qualified to descant on the subject, as he nad seen every game played by the profes- sional teams in this city since 1880. When he got tired recounting’ the great plays made by Oscar Walker, McKinnion, Gleason, Dunlap, Welch, Denny and a score of stars, somebody said: “You have told us all about the players. Now, tell us how it was that a man like Chris Von der Ahe came to break into baseball, a game which was altogether foreign to people of his situ- ation, nationality and nature.” Well.“ said the old rooter, taking a long pull at his stein, “it was this way. In the spring of 1880 Chris ran a grocery store and beer saloon on the corner of St. Louis and Grand avenues. Half a block up on Grand avenue was the old ball park. There was no professional club in St. Louis that season. Eddie Cuthbert, the old player who covered left field for the old St. Louis Browns in the seventies, when they were in the League, went to Chris and gave him a scheme to make money. All Cuthbert uired was a few hundred dollars to gu the rent of the park. Cuthbert would organize a team and arrange for matches, and Chris could realize a handsome profit by the-sale of beer during the games. “The Dutchman couldn't see anything in Cuthbert’s scheme at first, but Ed kept at him, and Chris put up the money to start Cuthbert. Games were played on thit dia- mond near Chris’ saloon—known as Sports- man's Park—between. semi-professional teams, and attracted large crowds, especial- ly on Sunday. St. Louis was then a great Sunday town, and on the Sabbath Chris sold many kegs of beer. He took no interest in the game, but stood over his bartenders, watching the dimes and quarters that the crowd showered over the bar. As he stood at the bar drinking with his friends and taking a mental note of every penny that passed, the cheers of the fans echoed through the grounds, and the Dutchman would say, “Hear dem shouding out dere. Tree tousand tem fools and one vise man, 1 dhe vise man is me, me Chris Von der er’ “Two years later the American Associa- tion, with Von der Ahe as one of its powers, was organized, and six years later Von der Ahe acknowledged that he had cleared $200,000 out of baseball. In the fall of 1889, Charles Byrne, the President of the Brook- lyn club, offered Von der Ahe $100,000 an the Brooklyn team to boot, lock, stock an barrel, for Comiskey and the famous St. Louis Browns, and the Dutchman refused. And two years later came the Brotherhood crisis, the desertion of Comiskey from the St. Louis club, and the ruin of Von der Ahe’s team of world champions. And, alas, for Chris, his club wasn’t worth a rusty 8 One of his greatest regrets is that never accepted ‘that $100,000 offer of Charles Byrne.” ASSOCIATION FOOT BALL GAMES.

HOW RICH OWNERS WITH doop HORSES ROB A POOR MAN. THINGS BETTER IN ENGLAND. Horses Should and Must Be Claimed Before the Practice Can Be Stepped in America. When any one bids up e horse entered in a selling race on an American track it is at once construed into an act of open hos- tility. In other words, so long as the suffer- er is not one who has incurred the dislike of the public through some real or fancied obliquity of conduct, the bidder is regarded as a man with a grudge to satisfy. A story is told of Mr. M. F. Dwyer when he was in England last year that, hearing of Capt. Machell’s propensity for bidding and claiming, he went out of his way to intended to have a fair chance with a richer make the astute 88 acquaintance. “I found him one of the most charm! men I ever met,” Mr. Dwyer sa “and nt nearly an entire day chatting with 2 ie claimed Our relations cou not have anter. Then the very next day one of my horses.“ Mr. Dwyer at first no more understood the difference of sontimens day in England on the matter than nine ou ten of our racing men would. The term ‘selling race war,” which has come to be accepted in this country, gt my A 5 cates what is thought here, while — gland two closest ends will stand arm in arm, chatting and chaffing, while one bids on the other’s horse. - The public is apt to ask how the practice of entering horses below their real value can harm racing. The selling race is y an owner's handicap, the original idea ng that a man should enter a horse with as many pounds less on his back than his weight for age as the scale of prices wo reasonably admit. In other words, a horse was sg@pposed to be put in at such a figure that in case he was claimed or sold after winning, the first money in the race plus the entered price would be a fair remunera- tion for the loss of the horses’s services. In this way the poor owner of a bad horse was man’s moderate horse—the selling race not being designed for high-class animals ust as is presumably the case in a handicap. ut when the rich man puts his moderate horse in the race at a price which would not even buy the poor man’s bad horse, the scheme at once falls to the ground. And of course it is still worse when the rich man enters stake horses at a fractional part of their values. It is frequently said that after a 2-year-old of poor class has won a maiden race, the animal becomes virtually useless for racing purposes. This is due to the misuse of even the cheapest selling races, Of course we do see, especially at this time of year, flelds of maiden 2-year-olds going to the post that contain scarcely a single horse fit to be called a race horse, but the selling race, properly conducted, would the right refuge for the better of the indifferent 3- 1 if these events were not monopo- ized by horses whose entered prices do not represent more than a fourth of what they Id fetch if offered at public auction. The only remedy lies in the 215 of the old tradition that horses entered in sell- ing races must not be bid up or claimed. The public can do its share by viewing the matter in its true light and not discouraging bidding and claiming by adverse comment. It is only the misunderstanding of the real facts that prompts such comment, for if the desired can be e, racing th from the spectac ular tive standpoint, 8 thy 18, as a rule, with the 2 dou,” and tha poor owner is very decidedly the * dog” in this case.

On the other hand Chairman Hattersly W.

The State Ticket Is Conceded to the Democrats. , WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 31.—The politi- cal eituation in Delaware is full of uncer- tainty owing to the fight in the Republican ranks, the defec#on of the gold standard Democrats and the campaign of the single taxers. Both the regular Republican and the Union (Addicks) publicans are united on Presidential electors, the regulars hav- ing accepted the union electors. Much de- pends upon the control of the floating vote of 4,000 in the Jower counties. The gold standard Democratic vote in the State is estimated at 700 and the single tax vote at about 1,000. The election of the Dem- |P ocratic candidates for Governor and Con- gressmen and a Democratic Legislature is practically conceded by the opposition. 5 NEBRASKA.

HANNA'S STATEMENT. He Makes a General Appeal for Votes for McKinley. CHICAGO, III., Oct. 81.—The following statement was issued by Chairman Hanna to- night: : | The earnest support which the loyal cit- wens of the United States, irrespective of former political effiliations, have rendered the Republican party and the cause of sound money in the campaign about te end, justifies an expression from those who have been called upon to conduct it. o campaign since the war of the rebel- lion 3 such ities to those entitled to sonal duty at the lis, and no citizen however humble or devoted to employment or business, should fail to exercise his privilege and duty on election day. It is not merely a v but a duty. And while it is the ty of every good citizen to his will at the polls on all occasions, that duty was never more serious or im- portant than now. Sound arguments and expressions of loy- alty count for nothing, unless those who 0 them or are convinced by them exer- cise that universal privil of participa in the actual direction of the governmen by voting on election day. It is hoped, therefore, that all good e will join hands on Tuesday in maintaining the honor of the Nation b tering their ballots im fa 4 wh been ho o Sartten William ey. The issue is between two men and two the one representing national vernment, sound money and sound prin ; the other standing for doc- trines dangerous to the peace and 13 ty of the nation and promising only a sys- tem which must debase the currency, de- by | etroy business and end employment. It is, as has been recently said by Maj. McKinley himself, “A time when the voice ‘of the partisan is hushed in the chorus of patriotism which sounds from one end of the country to the other.“ a Let every loyal citizen take this thought to the polls with him election day, and the country will be saved frem the danger which confronts {t and saved by that same loyal devotion which obliterated party lines in defense of the nation on an occa- sion of equal, but not greater peril, POLICE STATISTICS.

With his usual depth of understanding, he premises his attack on me by leaving us to suppose he will vote for Bryan, while giving an excellent reason why ree ere vote for McKinley; for he says he helieves the | result in a single silver er All will readily see that any one who talks Such nonsense as this is not a factor of much importance in the politics of the day.

Chairman Wellington of the Republican State Committee insists that his party will get not less than 18,000. ma- jority in the city and that they will carry the State by at. least 25,000, a that every Congressman, with the possible exception of les in the First district, will be Re publican in favor of a gold standard. On the other hand Chairman Hattersly W. Talbot of the Democratic State Commit- tee claime the State by from 9,000 to 10,000, and thinks the Democrats will certainly elect three and probably five Congressmen. DELAWARE.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT. How to Prepare it According to Law —Voters Should Carefully Read What Follows.

These ballots are large sheets of white paper upon which must be printed, in separate groups, the tickets of various parties, or such tickets as may be nominated by electors who in numbers do not constitute political parties. Four constitutional amendments are to be voted on. The character of each amend- ment will, under the law, be designated on the ballot. The voter, in order to have his vote counted upon these amendments, must erase, as the case may be, the words yes“ or no“ to conform the ballot to the vote he desires cast on the proposition voted on. On the election day each qualified voter shall be entitled to enter the polling place and to receive from the judges of election one ballot, upon which shall have deen placed the initials of two of the judges of election, and no other Writing shall be per- mitted upon the back of the ballot except the number of the ballot. The vater then retires to a booth alone, remaining not more than five minutes, to prepare his ballot. In doing this he should particularly remember that HE MUST VOTE ENTIRELY UPON ONE OF THE GROUPS OR TICKETS. In other words, he must, by drawing one or | two lines through them from top to bottom, erase all the groups except one, and if he desires to vote for other .perapns who are in other groups he myst do so by crossing out names and substituting others for them in writing un ier the erasures—ALL UPON ONE OF THE GROUPS OR TICKETS. He cannot, for instance, vote for etectors on one ticket and State or county officers on another ticket. HE MUST DO ALL HIS VOTING UPON ONE TICKET, UNDER ONE HEAD. If he undertakes to vote for some names by leaving them unmarked upon one group and other names in a sim- lar way. upon another group his ballot must under the law be rejected as illegal. After preparing his ballot the voter must fold the same so that the face thereof shall be concealed and so that the initials of the judges previously placed upon the back of the ballot may be seen. He must then de- posit his vote and forthwith leave the polling place, a Any erasures the voter desires to make on the ticket he wishes to vote should be by horizontal and not perpendicular lines, as the law says—‘“‘a partial erasure of a group by lines lengthwise of the. column, or in any other manner than by the erasure of a name to substitute another to be taken as @ rejection of the whole group.“ If a voter shall by accident or mistake poll his ballot he may return the spoiled ballot to che judges of election and receive another in place thereof. judges of election that he cannot read or write, or that by reason of physical disa- bility he is unable to mark his ballot, may declare his choice of candidates to the judges having charge of the ballots, who, in the presence of the voter, without leav- ing their repective positions, shall pre- pare the ballot for voting according to his instructions. REMPMBER. Erase all the groups except the one upon which you desire to vote. On constitutional amendments erase the words “Yes” or “No” according to how you desire to vote. Make no perpendicular lines on the ticket which you desire to vote. places Bryan tried to their own speakers, hoping tc t by creating indignation against — oo quite a la Napol- ‘eon when he sent out his b pa agent prov ANOTHER CARONDELET SUIT.

An open letter has been sent to Judge Daniel Dillon by citizens who believe that he should be kept on the Circuit, bench, where he has served with honor to himself and credit to those who elected him. The communication follows: Hon. Daniel Dillon, City. As citizens of St. Louis, regardless of political affiliations and political issues, we deem it but a just tribute to your pri- vate character and honorable career as an able, upright and conscientious Judge to speak thus publicly of your high and un- excelled qualifications for the position of Circuit Judge. Our judiciary should be en- tirely disconnected from politics in prac- tice as it certainly is in theory. We have tried you for twelve years, and the unani- mous opinion of your brethren on the bench and at the bar corroborates the opinion that we as business men have rmed of you. ene 22 will forget their politics in voting for you and feel that they are justified in calling on all good citizens to do-likewise.. We trust that you will be elected by an ovefwhelming majority, thereby demonstrating that true merit in the candidate for the judiciary is the sole and only qualification in a free land.

CHARLES, — WILL MAKE CREVE COEUR LAKE A SUMMER RESORT. BRANCH OF THE MIDLAND. A Branch Running From Page Avenue to the Woodson Road Will Be Open To-Day. The Midland Street Railroad Company will begin to-day the operation of its elec- tric street car line from the junction of and Page avenue to the Woodöon road, a distance of five miles. The road was origi- about once an hour. The present extension is the first step toward a direct connection by electric cars between St. Louis, Creve Coeur Lake and St. Charles, Mo., and the intention is to make Creve Coeur Lake a popular summer resort by the erection of a hotel and the establishment of pleasure grounds. The road strikes the lake at che deepest and widest part. One result of the extension will be the resumption of the annual Methodist camp meetings at Camp Marion, on the line of the road, which were abandoned on account of the lack of transportation facilities. The road is owned and operated by E. H. Benoist, President of the Overland Realty Oo.; Breckinridge Jones of the Mississipp! Valley Trust Co., and Fred E. Allen of the Venice, Madison & Granite City Railway, et gpa President, Secretary and Treas- urer, and Vice President and general man- ager of the Midland Railway. Besides these gentlemen, others interest- ed in the Overland Realty Co., including Secretary D. R. Francis and will Kennett are also fnterested in the road. The new road runs over a high ridge, and from the cars almost the entire city can be viewed. It reaches the residence and deer park of Judge Hemry D. residences of Th Salo Lackland and Dr. ¥ man Orphans’ Home homestead, which comprises 700 acres. The Woclfolk property is owned by the realty company and is to be sub-divided in- to building lots with the expectation of establishing a new suburb. The road was built originally through the efforts of residents who subscribed toward its construction. NOT COERCED. Koken Iron Works Employes Say They Can and Will Vote Unrestrained.

Mammon reigned so he Auditorium that these men were brushed aside, their loyalty and evotion to the party laughed to scorn, and the tariff question made secondary to ‘the necessity of maintaining the English gold standard. Thus ſt was that the Republi- can party was robbed not only of its inheri- tance, but its ancient warcry of defiance to foreign governments and foreign fiscal and financial policies taken from it. ' Next in chronologica order was the biun- der of the gold Democrats at Indianapolis. That convention stopped a funeral proces- sion on the road to the cemetery and robbed two of the hearses. Neither of these old men is above reproach, but both of them are above such criticism as they deserve. If the convention which nominated them had chosen two strong, young, aggressive men, on a platform not a total surrender to the McKinley platform on every point, a re- spectable party ‘of Democrats might have been deluded into the support of both. The Indianapolis party might then have claimed to voice an effort to save the party for future use. But its action has proved too clearly for even the dullest mind to fail in seeing that the gold Democracy is a sidébar attachment to the Republican gold machine. an attempt to steal the livery of Democrac to serve the devil of plutocracy in; a weak } attempt of weak men ‘failing utterly to un- derstand the party or the public mind and purpose, Upon the issue and the conduct of the campaign before the people plutocracy is beaten.

Ring down this gory curtain. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest worth and sweet humilty.”’ But have we peace? its blessings. Theodore Roosevelt has given its blessings? Theodore Roosevelt has given us added proof that the man who is capable of oppression is capable of boasting. There has been much of this sort of talk from the followers of Mr. McKinley. Of course the men who do it are those whom Ben Hill once characterized as “invincible in peace and invisible in war.“ None the less have their sanguinary threats aroused a public resentment which bodes ill for the cause they are seeking to advance. They have, however, been harmonious with the gold campaign, which-has been ill-judged, 11 managed, and out of line with public opin- ion from first to last. a This being true, what is there to justify the confidence of the Hannaites? The Aus- tralian law has made the corruption of the voter at the polis difficult, if not impossible.

FITZMAURICE. BISHOP M’GOVERN’S PLEA. He Gives Good Reasons for the Free Coinage of Silver. The Harrisburg Patriot publishes an in- terview with Rt. Rev. Thomas McGovern, Bishop of the diocese of Harrisburg, Pa., in which he says in part: “I am in favor of honest money. Now, what I want to know is, what is honest money? We now have gold, paper,. bonds and promises to pay, and all pass as honest money. There is not enough of gold in the world to pay its indebtedness. The United States Government could not pay its indebtedness in gold, because it has not got it. She gives us treasury notes or bonds, and these are to be paid in honest money, one paper usually exchanged for another.’’ “What about silver?” asked the report- er. ‘Silver is surely as good as paper, and 50 per cent better. If the Government pays her indebtedness in silver she is paying it in a better currency than in paper. All nations would be bankrupt to-day if they were asked to pay this indebtedness in gold. Can we not take silver the same as we are taking paper, money? Silver will at least increase the volume 6f circulation, which ts now in our country too UEmited to carry on business and makes rates too high. „Money, after all, is only a commodity in the market,“ added Bishop McGovern, ear- nestly. When it is scarce it, rates high; when it is abundant it rates low. If we increase the circulation by the free coinage of silver we are employing a better substi- tute than per, because silver has an intrinsic value; paper has not. The op- nents of the free coinage of silver assert at it will bankrupt us, but there is no more danger of our Government becoming bankrupt by the free coina “aes gr n * = * 2 oy 7 Ne cee ** N i te * 4 1 * ce.

Why the Latter Are Not Grieving Much Over His Demise—Gossip of the Metropolis. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Neither Chauncey M. Depew or T. C, Platt have had their names in the paper more duing the past ten years than “Silver Dollar“ Smith. Yet, bar- ring the great East side of this city, very few know anything about the personality of this man, or how he came by his peculiar title. He wasn't christened “Silver Dollar,“ but Charles. However, it is a question whether he himself remembers this fact. A thrifty person is this same “Silver Dollar,” and he has an excellent eye to the main chance. He indulges in occasional tally-ho parties, clam chowder picnics and the like, and while he invariably invites a large crowd to attend the festivities and personally de- frays the expenses, he is none the loser. Past Siders are a grateful people. They never forget a kindness, and so the clam chowder and the tally-hos that “Silver Dol- lar“ casts forth return after many days over his bar, and that, too, with accrued interest. For he is a saloonkeeper, is this ‘Silver Dollar’ Smitk. * Ten years ago he was the owner of a modest cigar store on the Bowery. But he Was possessed of an idea, and that idea was to have, if not the most gorgeous, at least the most unique saloon in New York City. He looked about him and selected a site on Essex street, near Grand, Then he signed a lease, drew from the bank the savings of years, all in silver dollars, and prepared for the opening. It occurred on Labor Day, 1886, and it was then that Charles Smith forever relinquished his baptismal name and was publicly proclaimed the Silver Dollar.“ He had taken 2,800 silver dollars and had them imbedded in the flogr of his barroom. Men have been quoted as having m y to burn, but Smith had it to walk on. Thousands visited his place just for that purpose, Of coursé, they felt in duty bound | to pass a little coin over the bar and in the first three days of the saloon’s existence the cash register showed $4,000 in receipts, while in a twelve-months’ it added ,000 to the bank account of its ingenious owner. Meanwhile, “Silver Dollar“ Smith had gone into politics. Nobody, knew how, but he was there. Five times the Republicans nominated and elected him to the Assem- bly. Then he took an independent air and ran on a ticket of his own. Again he was elected. At the expiration of this last term he came out as a Democrat and eventually entered Tammany Hall. Asa tiger he went twice more to Albany, and 1s still active in his district.. When the Raines law went into effect “Silver Dollar’’ Smith saw his business threatened. With rare foresight he removed his billiard and pool room from the second floor to the rear of the first. Then he put in ten rooms, secured a hotel license and now as many, if not more, walk on his money as of yore. He serves a full regular meal for 10 cents, and gives his pa- trons almost everything, from soup to nuts. In a quiet way “Silver Dollar” Smith is about as good an advertiser as was the late P. T. Barnum, ° — 1 * The manner in which the singers of the Metropolitan Opera Company ignored the death of Henry E. Abbey, was surprising to everybody not familfar with the real con- tion of affairs. It has been said that some of the most important singers of the com- pany were on anything but pleasant terms with their manager. Mr. Abbey’s share in the artistic control of the company was not great, but he asserted his rights as manager of the company in a way that was by no means acceptable to some:of the artists, who believed that their presence in the company was so important that they should not be subjected to direction or con- trol of anybody whatever. But Mr. Abbey stood on no ceremony when it became a question between him and those employed. his offendéd the dignity of some of the members in the company, particularly one 9f them whose animosity to this member of the firm commenced in a disagreement of this nature. One of the last cases in which Mr. Abbey assertea him- self in a dispute with one f his singers hap- pened toward the middle of the season last winter, when one of the prima donnas bearded him in his office and said with great emphasis that unless her salary was increased 2% per cent she would not remain in the company. She threatened to ,break her contract if she were not released. Mr. Abbey Said that she might cease to sing with his company if she wished, but he would see to it that she was prevented from singtng elsewhere, and that while she remained in his company her salary would remain what it had been. At this stage of the interview the discus. sion lost all aspect of business and became on the part of the singer violently personal in character. As it seemed likely to be pro- longed, her manager stepped to the door, opened it, and told the prima donna that if she were determined to remain there he would leave her in sole possession. She de- cided that without his presence the office would be no better for her than any other, So she retired and sang for the rest of the season at the figure which her contract called for. Mr. Abbey insisted on asserting his prerogatives with his employes, even when they were most eminent, and that habit in itself was enough to make them re- gard him with no particular affection. He was never known in these cases to submit to dictation even when the fortunes of his enterprises depended on the good will of his performers. He liked to impress on them what his position in their business relations was. A bold effort is being made to n the old Haymarket.“ a former landmark of the “Tenderloin,” at Thirtieth street and Sixth avenue.

Vice-President Hill of the Board of Trade a bicycle for $100 wil is in favor of a cement track. He thinks can be built for a very reasonable way. , - Mr. Hill thinks that the best and cheapest kind of a track would be one constituted of a lower layer of naviculate,“ over which would be laid a cement surface about two inches thick. This Mr. Hill thinks would make a livelier surface than a heavy leyer of cement. It would also possess the merit ee infinitely cheaper and quite as dur- able. It is thought that the cost of bullding the track would be very much less than that incurred in building the Fountain Ferry track, which is a heavy cement affair and which, according to Messrs. Whitley, the builders, no longer represents the high- est point of perfection in track building. The under layer of naviculate would, Mr. Hill thinks, be a cheap and effective substi- tute for cement. Going on the principle which makes the light tire faster than its heavier fellow, the thin layer of cement should prove faster than if it was a foot thick. All this appeals to reason and as it would be almost one-half as cheap the plan will find many backers. Dan Dougherty, with all the, glory of his sixteen firsts earned in the Loné Star State, arrived in St. Louis on Thursday morning. Contrary to general rules which govern the actions of racing cyclists in such cases, the youngster does not appear as if his head needed hoops to keep it within respectable proportions. The boy had enough success to turn the head of an older rider, but he is the same trifling, good-natured lad that he was in the days when he took his licking as a matter of course rather than: of com- pulsion. Dougherty finished the season with sixteen firsts, eight seconds and ten thirds to his credit. This is the best record made by any St. Louis rider. Hattersley, with sixteen finsts and four seconds to his credit, is the next best. Dougherty is the youngest rac- ing man in the country, being only 16 years old. Singularly the years of. his age and the number of his firsts are exactly the same. Next year the “‘Kid’’ will do some wonderful work. RIVERSIDE WHEELMEN. The Riversides will run to Fenton to- morrow, starting from the club-house at 8:30 “knife edge.“ The regular monthly meeting will be held Thursday evening, Nov. 5. Every individual member should make it a point to attend as matters of great interest to afl are to be decided at this meeting. Geo. Philley has given up riding for the season and is now devoting his time to singing in a church choir. ‘ Robert J.

PRICES WILL BE UPHELD, FAIL- URES LESS NUMEROUS AND | TANDEMS IN DEMAND. * Persons who are expecting a great : change in the bicycle trade next season will be disappointed. The hicycle business may be affected by the conditions of trade the same as any other business, but in many other respects it be much as it has been this year. A few of the wheels that have been selling for $100 will be sold for less money, and there will be the usual number of nondescript wheels sold ,for what they will bring. | There is not likely, however, to be the same number of failures in 1897 that have marked 1896. Capital has been scared, and it will not be so easy in the future to start bicycles factories in in every village and hamlet. While some men have grown rich in the manufacture of bicycles, the same may be said of other articles of general use. It requires capital, skill and business experience to make, the manufacture . of bicycles a success. The same may be said of the manufacture of watches, horse Coi- lars or pocket knives. Nearly all of the score or more of failures that have helped to disorganize the bicycle business in the gast year have been due to A lack of capital. The material that enters into the construction of 1,000 wheels costs several thousand dollars. The labor re- quired to build them costs more. The weekly pay roll must be made up of cash, and this must be done week after week before a sin- gle finished wheel is put on the market. After the thousand wheels are finished they must be sold, and it will be from thirty to ninet¥ days before any cash can be realized from them. All this means that the firm that tries to build and sell wheels on in- sufficient capital is Kable to be forced to the wall at any time. A single creditor who demands immediate payment can force an assignment that causes a total loss of all the money invested. At the same time there will be money in the bicycle business next year. Thousands who never rode wheels before will be in- rode cheap wheels this year will ride better ones next season, ) . There will be more tandems sold next year than ever before. At present tandems cost too much money. rms that retail t demand $150 for a tandem. This increase is too much. Tan- dems of the high grade represented by $100 wheels should be sold for $125 at the most. The trouble in the past has been that manufacturers heve devoted their at- tention too little to the tandem trade. Many manufacturers have refused to build tamdems because the capacity of their pints could better be utilized by the man- ufacture of the bicycle: The same may be said of the drop frame wheel for women. Being more difficult they have been neglected. Next season this condition will perhaps be corrected, and tandems and ladies’ wheels will re- ceive the attention that they deserve. Tan- dems and triplets will be in greater de- mand in 1897, and this demand will be met. STAG CYCLE CLUB. The last meeting of the club was well at- tended. As this is the opening of the win- ter season it augurs well for the interest of the members during the off-riding Sea- son ‘turning gray in one night. Warren Hilton and Dudley Bragdon have been elected members. Owing to the late start last Sunday, the Albert champion long distance} bicycle rider onl world, arrived in New York the other day, having wheeled from Uniontown, Pa., tour days. The jour- ney was in the of preliminary training for the big six-da¥s’ race at Madison Square M* which begins Dec. 7. x expect to encounter more than one of two cyclones, several mountain lions and a walked into ‘ne tory of ure which might rival one of Jack Harka- way'’s yarns, “The Allegheny Mountains,“ Schoch be- gan, as he drew his fingers through his hair, are not exactly what they are cracked up to be. long as I live I shall never tackle that particular district again. They think all the western mountains are pretty high, but I'll give my word the Alleghenies take the cake for height. Iwent over four ranges of them, and I don’t want to under- take the job again.“ “Have any trouble?“ inquired Charles “Well, I. Horan, secretary for Mr. Powers. “Trouble?” repeated Schoch. don’t exactly understand what you mean by trouble. But if it's excitement you re- fer to, well, I should say I had. Now, I’m a pretty good hill climber, and when it comes to coasting I fancy that very few of the champions can give me much of a start. It’s pretty good exercise to climb hills, and I’m one of the few men who don’t know how to coast up an incline, I give fair warning to all cyclists to steer clear of the Alleghenies. I came’ mighty near I will tell you how it was, but this is to be a dead secret.“ responded the Gemman-American rider. “I am not posing as a wild Westerner, and 1“ Will admit that blue hardware is quite dis- tasteful to me, providing the other fellow is fixed with it. I always carry a gun to use on troublesome dogs. Many cyclists are also equipped with firearms. To make a long story short, I was just climbing to the top ot a hill in the Alleghenies. It was about six miles long. The effort rather fatigued me, but then I thought I would have a cinch coasting down the other side. It was so steep that I decided to rig up a brake. * After thinking a bit I pulled up a sap- pling and tied it on the rear axle of my wheel. This proved to be quite a handi- cap and answered the purpose splendidly. I was going along nicely and I decided to light a cigar. I stopped a moment for that purpose. All of a sudden I heard a peculiar growl. Thinking it was a stray dog, I turned around and saw two eyes that were as bright as diamonds shining out of the darkness. I was not alarmed at first, but as the creature came nearer something told me that it was not a domestic animal. I said to myself that I was up against a wild beast. There was only one thing to be done. I had to cut loose the ballast. I drew my pocket-knife and started to cut the cord which held the sapling. In doing so I punctured the rear tire. The animal, which I am thoroughly convinced was a moun- tain lion, came nearer and nearer at every jump, so I finally rode down the mountain on my front wheel and escaped. I wouldn’t be sure about the time, but I'd be willing to bet that I rode two miles and a half down grade in less than forty-five seconds.“ ROVER CYCLING CLUB.

But this year from a number of causes a differ- ent state of affairs exists, for in the great majority of cases the difference between this and next season’s mounts will be slight and the subject is but a meager one to 27 n t hang ne n for the few apparent e es is that the bicycle manufacturers, large and small alike, guided by the business done in 1895, bought lavishly of stock and pre- pared for a larger business than ever this year, in which all alike were disappointed. The consequence was that the smaller man- ufacturer, loaded with material for h he could not find a market when conve into a finished product, went to the wall and the stock he had on hand went to furnish the 133 stores with the $38.88 strictly high-grade: wheels.” Other larger manufacturers, better situated fi- nancially, limited their output to actual orders received and carried their stock of material over to bé used in the 1897 models, making such changes only as necessitated the least waste of material. Another reason for the few changes is also on the score of economy, for the fewer changes made the fewer new tools are necessary and after the season of limited profit just passed every source of expense is curtailed... Still another reason is that bicycle building appears to have reached a finality of design in frame construction in its present form, for it 1s in detail and not in general design that the various makes of safeties differ. In fact, for the past three or four seasons the ten- dency has been towards a common model. The same tendency was noticeable in the construction of the ordinary just before the introduction of the safety and it may be that we are on the verge of another depart- ure in bicycle construction just as radical as was the departure from the ordinary to the safety. What it might be, though, is a question for the inventor and the manu- facturer to answer. Among the changes that will be general is the use of larger tires, and this of itself will cause an increase of width in the tread and add somewhat tothe weight. A saving can be made in the width of tread by the use of D tubing, by the use of which suffi- cient clearance can be had for the larger tire, and furthermore it is claimed that D tubing will stand a greater strain than circular tubing of an eighth anch larger diameter, thereby giving a sawing in width ata point where every sixteenth of an inch counts. Five inches will be the average tread, but luckily we have passed the stage wheré the stress is laid on tread and weight that formerly was, and comfort is the prime consideration. In sprockets six and seven-toothed rear sprockets will the exception, and eight and even nine- toothed ones will be the rule. The senti- ment also appears to be in favor of higher gears. . Gear cases, or chain cases, the use of which is so universal in European coun- tries, end the attachment of which the American manufacturer has to take into consideration in — to export trade, are coming but slowly into favor in this country, and no great preparation appears to be going on towards fitting them to but and fishing at Creve Coeur.

In Speaking of her own profession, Miss Hungerford said: “There is no reason why women should not be as successful in the advertiing field es in any other.

PLENTY OF COLOR IS THE PRE- VAILING STYLE—MAB TELLS OF THINGS SEEN IN STORES. The fall styles are now in full swing, and never before have I seen so many new hats and bonnets representing so many different shapes and styles. St. Louis la- dies, as a rule, are noted for the quiet and sober costumes that they wear upon the treet, But this can no longer be said, s the streets and snops look like bright ardens of living flowers representing ev- ry color of the rainbow. Never before n the history of fashion have there been so many bright and striking colors worn, and such striking contrasts used in com- bination both in gowns and hats. It keeps one busy to keep up with the new styles,they are so varied and numerous this season, and one has hardly passe the rounds and embraced all that was new, before other novel creations appear and new paths must be gone over to keep pace with the latest ideas, designs and combina- tions that are continually emanating from the original brain of Dame Fashion. Ruddy shades are much in vogue, from burgundy to deep mulberry, and the shade that used to be known as solferino red. Unfortunately many women who cannot bear bright shades of crimson and red in- ist upon wearing them because they are fashionable. Violet in the purest bluish tints, nasturtium or what is more familiar- ly known as robin-red are much used. Among the very latest combinations of col- or is the pink known as “biotting-paper pink.“ with fawn, full shades of royal blue, copper, green and pearly white. Royal blue, as I was shown by one of the leading St. modistes, assumes multiform degrees of shading from a brilliant, bristhng, daz- ling blue to a deep wedgwood shade, When using plain blue, great care should be displayed in selecting the contrasting shade, a good way being to ravel a piece of changeable and then you are sure the cotor used. in the interweaving of this shade of blue is correct. If your gown is to be blue with green velvet trimming, a piece of green and blue changeable will be sure to carry the exact shade of green you need. There is great latitude in the trimming used this season, among the prettiest of the old-fashions revived, being the trellis work in narrow ribbons. The most costly trim- ming is the hand embroidery which has reached such perfection, chenille, spangles, turquoise and rubies, feathers and lace ap- lique, all entering into its composition. eautiful new belts in green and red leath- er are brought on to be worn with the new winter waists, the belts being mounted and studded with gold, silver or bronze in fill- gree. The most charming waist at present fs the Russian blouse, which is made in plain-faced cloth, rich Sicilienne and velvet to be worn in contrast with plaid or novelty ekirts. Among the latest materials for owns are the canvas effects, epingle natte or satin-faced. Whipcords and homespuns, fn black, carry all manner of corkscrew, wavy and large braid-like patterns in taf- feta weaving. A large quantity of fur will be used this Winter, Persian lamb and astrakaan being in the lead. For very dressy garments much ermine combined with Persian lamb is used. One of the prettiest street gowns I have seen was of — green cloth, the style prin- cess, tailor made, the trimming of royal blue velvet, The neck, back and front, was fin- ished with a high flaring collar of the vel- vet. The princess was cut with one dart and the seam extended to the skirt. The sleeve Was finished at the arm hole by three box-pleats, held in place by tin Brandenbures and cords of biack, the full- ness forming a puff to the elbow, from which it fitted tightly to the wrist, where it was finished with a flaring cuff, lined with blue velvet. number of materials are being used for cloaks this winter, and I noted a num- ber of elegant new garments of velvet, eatin, brocade moire, and handsome woolen materials worn by prominent St. Louis ladies on the street during the past week. Evéry beautiful and rich design in trim- ming that has ever been known is used upon the wrap of this season in the wa of straps, yokes, shoulder capes, cuffs, col- lars, frills and buttons. Upon velvet cloaks the trimming is scant as the material is too rich in itself for much trimming. For mourning costumes Henrietta ctoth is the recognized fabric, crape being again much used as trimming both in milliners' folds and pipings. Black peau de sole is the material mostly in use for calling and informal dinners. Soft crape, chiffon, duli jet and net are used as combingtions and ‘give and take,’ and no fdvors.’ FLOWERS ON THE TABLE. The Present Style of Floral Decoration Is for Small Bouquets. Tall flowering plants and high, elaborate trimmings. The walking hat is universally worn, 41- though it is severe and unbecoming to many women. But it is convenient and especi- ally suitable to business women who need a hat in which they can brave any weather. MAB. receptacles for flowers are out of vogue, and it is well that they are,.for not only do they obstruct the view of the vis-a-vis.“ but they are not nearly so pretty as low dishes tastefully arranged in an unstudied form from choice flowers and delicate trailing lants, with appropglate leaves and moses or a background. ven when dining st - ly en familie it adds much to the pléasure of the meal if a dainty little bouquet of sweet-smelling flowers is placed in front of each cover. A dear old lady of our ac- quaintance always has in summer a lovely centerpiece for her dining table, says the Philadelphia Record, made by filling a long, low dish with small blocks of ice and ex- quisite sweet-smelling buds and blossoms. In front of herself; her husband, her sons, and her guests, if she has any, she places tiny cut-glass baskets with the same deli- cate and lovely filling. No matter how warm the weather, there it always seems cool and delightful place to linger and a talk of everything pleasant and beautiful. LATEST PARISIAN BALL GOWN. Over Four Hundred Perfumes. It is an interesting thing to know that 4.200 species of plants are gathered and used for eommercial purposes in Europe. Of these 420 have a perfume that is pleas- ing and enter largely into the manufacture of scents, soaps and sachets. There are more species of white flowers gathered than of any other eolor—1,124. Of these 187 have an agreeable scent—an extraordinary large proportion. Next in order come, yellow blos- sonts, with 951, 77 of them being perfumed. Red flowers number 823, of which 84 are scented. The blue flowers are of 594 varie- ties, 34 of which are perfumed, and the violet blossoms number 308, 13 of which are pleasantiy odoriferous. * \ da 0 N aa vith, 22227 ~ 62 92 88 I Nig d Here is the very latest style of ball gown for a young lady: It is of pale pink silk gauze, with cream lace insertings, made up over a rose pink foundation.

DR. MARY WALKER PROTESTS AGAINST PETTICOATS WORN BY HER SEX—FAVORS TROUSERS. Is there any good reason why women should be hampered by dress? Are women of small brain éaliber, whose normal character no one cares to discuss, to be allowed to govern the conduct and designate the wearing apparel of women sensible enough to ride bicycles with the dignity of true womanhood? i have never ridden a wheel and never expect to, because of a weakness in my right leg due to an injury, but I wish godspeed to all women who do ride and I wish all of them would dress as well as some of them do. No dress worn by a wheelwoman can be perfectly safe unless trousers are worn to the exclusion of skirts or petticoats. That such attire, whether worn on a wheel or at other places, is the “modest one for women” as well as men it is too late to deny. As women spend a great part of their time Considering dress, and as nothing approx- imating their real needs and comforts has ever been the fashion, it is natural that all classes of women should evince a feeling of unrest about their apparel and should be anxious for a change. Most women rush after a new fashion with an undefined ex- fort of both soul and body has at last been attained. A trial soon demonstrates that the new fashion means a disadvantage to some part of the body that was unforseen before the new style was tested. Women have been pack-horses to the ex- tent of carrying wire enough to encircle the globe. They have worn enough rings in their ears to nose-ring every pig from ocean to ocean! Now these absurdities are to be revived again, and civilization take a back step, but the bicycle women are capa- ble of better things, and since they have tasted of liberty of feet it is to be hoped that they will not heathenize their ears when off their wheels. It is a curious condition of dress affairs that bodily ills caused by methods of dress call for other absurd methods to cover them up, and that with all the, boasted superiority of the humans the animals must be imitated. The great sleeves that make the shoulders wider than the body is long is the condition of the gorilla. The bustle makes women resemble camels. The bangs on the fore- head are like the herse; the pointed shoes are like the end of the anaconda; the hats are like the bird, and the waist is like the wasp. Women’s dress is a badge of slavery! Yes, and of inferiority as well. Even young sons recognize the difference in the power of men and women, comsequent on dress, and respect the wearer of trousers as they do not the wearer of petticoats. The boy with his first pair of trousers feels belittled if required to put om petticoats for any cause. Women on the wheel are helping others every one to dress like a man and have the full benefit of your own power. Wear trous- ers of some sort or style as suit you best, and do not be guilty of a back step. Do not regard the faint opposition of the few who oppose you, but show your grandeur and nobleness as women who comprehend their rights and duties as well. You are now an exponent of principles that are to be your own salvation in essential regards. I wish some women who wear the ordinary dress would say publicly, as they have said privately: Are we a set of idiots to submit to the chains of dress?” Just so long as women cling to follies, just so long will they be estimated below the par of men! DR. MARY E. WALKER. THE SLEEVELESS JACKET. Not Many Seen Yet, But They Will Soon Be All the Rage. The sleeveless jacket is the novelty of the hour. It is to be worn before the fall coat becomes a necessity. Whether it is made of taffeta with frills of aceordeon plaiting or rough cloth or heavy lace, it is chic enough to satisfy even the heart ofga Freneh woman. As yet there are but a few of these sleeveless coats in town. The coat is so short that it does not even reach to the waist line. It hangs loose and full both in the back and front, In the back it forms a watteau plait, and in the front it turns back in revers and then falls in two box plaits. The reyers are bound with a cording of the green satin, and so is the high Medici collar. Epaulettes of the loosely plaited camels’ hair showing plainly their silk lining form the substitute for the sleeves. Near the shoulders are caught two or three sable tails, and a cluster of them dangle, from the high collar at the back. Green chiffon matching the lining of the jacket is tied about the neck, fastening in front in a careless bow. If the green chif- fon bow is not becoming, one in cream white chiffon may be used in its place. The jacket fastens with a mother of pearl buckle studded with mock emeralds, The hat designed to be worn with this sleeve- less jacket is as novel as the little coat it- Ff. Instead of being made of velvet or felt the hat is a camel’s hair creation. The — brim is faced with cordings of green Sa t in. The crown is a Tam O’Shanter encircled by a sable tail, and a cluster of faint green and black tips is grouped together at th. left side toward the front. There is but one touch of vivid coloring in the hat, and that is a bow of cherry vel- vet. It is fastened to the brim by a large pearl pin. 5 It is a model fit for the tailor-made girl's best gown.

THE GIRL’S MATCH BOX. If She Doesn’t Smoke, Her Bike Is an Excuse for Carrying One. At last the American girl with a, passion for jewelry has an excuse for cafrying a fancy match-box. She may not smoke, but she does ride the bicycle, and when she is out at night matches are needed to light her sony so her claim to the pretty trifle is now fully established. ~ In consequence the match-boxes made just now are smaller and daintier than ever before. The prettiest are of gold, with an enameled decoration, This is in thé form of a college or yacht club flag,or is 4 hand- painted mimature showing one dainty de- sign or another: The bicycle girl always keeps this pretty trifle at hand and pulls it out as often as there may be any .excuse for doing so. Home-Made Cologne. For a simple cologne, such as is useful in a large family where the children are fond of helping themselves to “mother’s belongings,“ an excellent formula directs that sixty drops each of oil of lavender, oil of bergamot, oil of lemon, and orange- flower water be ddded to a pint of alcohol. This should be corked and well shaken. Tt is more fragrant, but more expensive, if five drops of attar of roses and five drops of oil of sandalwood be added. * phe. ö ws * 2 > ‘Riv ö . 3 = . , tik 1 E 4 t n goo oh a b e a ind ate * af}, 8 aime 2 . * 2 n —— Ry — = 5 — N me — —— — — Latin all aati asst hanes.

For some years flat ness has been the effect striven for. Now flatness is no longer the dresesmaker’s ideal, Every gown of fall make, whether for house, street or evening wear, must needs can no longer be made of the same length all the way around. Dressmakers are very enthusiastic over the innovation, because they all like curves, and it is an open secret that they are desperately fond of padding, even at the risk of smothering their’ vie- tims. So bustles are likely to stay for a time, especially as there comes no remon-' strance from the society women themselves, who like the idea because it is new. te But the fashion is yet new, and the bus ing a big bustle will commit a — Large busties are as much tabooed. a ever, The smallest and gentlest of. nr 66 used at present.

It seems now that one of the finest of these gems graces the hand of Henry Irving in a ring that Mr. Beecher wore for many years. I contains a beautiful aquamarine gem. When Miss Ellen Terry was on her first visit to America she lunched with Mr. and Mrs. Beecher, and being shown the gem, expressed so much admiration that Mr. Beecher urged her to accept it. She was very proud of it and wore it con- stantly, but, as she tells the story, On the day that Queen Victoria knighted Irving, I took the ring from my finger and gave it to him in honor of the occasion. dir Henry now wears Mr. Beecher's ring, and will wear it as long as he lives.“ 22 ' a cert a N . e F 1, „ Tiegh ‘ N 2 Pauline Hall Leaves the: , : te for sir the Vaudeville Stage. | Special Correspondence NEW YORE, Oct. the latest recruit from to the vaudeville ranks. It is not a perma- nent arrangement, but will last only until the holidays, when she will again go on tour at the head of her ows comic opera com- Miss Hall ended her sta tour a few weeks ago, since when several vaude- ville managers have been trying to secure her services. At ene time * looked as though Oscar Hammerstein had secured her, but last k F. F. Proctor made her a higher offer than other cormpetitors and she signed to appear at his Pleasure Palace for a term of weeks beginning Nov. 9. Some idea may be had of the enormous salaries paid to vaudeville artists, espe- cially if they come from the legitimate stage, when it is stated that the salary to be paid to Pauline Hall will be $800 per week, with an extra $200 if she sings on Sundays. Miss Hall has an arrangement of songs requiring frequent changes of cos- tume, one of which will introduce her as a boy. She has not been heard in New York since her engagement at Harrigan’s, now the Garrick, two years ago. Miss Hall, in private life, Mrs. McClellan, was for years prima donna at the Casino, where she was identified with all its successes notably Erminie,“ the comic opera which made Francis Wilson known to-the theat- rical world. She left the Casino to head a company of her own and toured the West in a repertory of light operas. Her tour was brought to a temporary closé late last season by an event of domestic im- portance, and a miniature Pauline now rules the McClellan household. Since that time she has acted very little, and her entrance to,continuous vaudeville is in the nature of a return to the stage. M. Emile Durer, who for some time past has been the representative of the composer of Cavallerta Rusticana,“ has come to New York to book gates for concerts to be given in this country during November, December and January, by no less personages than Pietro Mascagni himself and Ruggiero Leon. cavallo. M. Durer did not make dates from the other side because he was not sure when the two musicians would be free. He has, however, heard from both since his arrival here, and is now prepared to sign contracts for them. It proposed that each shall appear twice in cach city they may visit, once con- ducting an orchestral concert and once con- dycting one of their peers. They will bring no company over with them, but are satis- fied that they can find sufficiently talented muSicians here in New York.

It comes with elab- orate scenery and a strong cast. The play is said to be replete with stirring situations, Startling climaxes, and through it all there ripples a vein of refined comedy. The strik- ing feature in “Fallen Among Thieves“ is the high dive made by a woman in the bridge scene from the top of the stage into a tank of water, which is extremely thrill- ing.

These little Mei- dents have been ingeniously grouped to- gether by Mr. Paul Potter for dramatic purposes. Readers of Trilby will remem- ber that in the novel, the cut direct“ to the three artists was administered in an ordinary way as the heroine drove rapidly past them in ‘the streets of Paris, just as the encounter between Svengali and his enemies took place not at the Cirque des Bashi Bazoukes, but in the vestibule of a hotel.

This i rather à difficult task, when we consider that weddings have been an every day oc- currence for thousands of years. All ideas upon the subject must be well nigh ex- hausted, yet between the modistes, the florists, tue caterers and the designers in general, some new thing is now and then produced. At a fashionable wedding in the East the other day, the bridal pair stood beneath an immense floral bell, which seemed to be held in place by cordons of flowers, held by two lovely littie girls standing on each side of the ar. At the close of the ceremony, @ gentle pull upon the ropes opened. the bell from which fell a shower of pink rose leaves upon the happy bride beneath, a pretty con- ceit with which to vary the strewing of flowers in the pathway of the bride. Then, after the shower of rose leaves, two pure white doves flew forth from the bell and settled themselves upon the altar. Novelties were introduced at three of the fashionable functions of last week. At the Carpenter-Noel wedding, at the appointed hour, the bridemaids entered the church from the back, through the vestry, and filed down the aisle, facing the congregation. They stopped half way and were met by the ushers. hey then separated and formed a line on each side of the aisle, extending from the door to the chancel. The bride walked between to the middie of the vhurch, where she was met by the groom. To- gether they led the procession, the bride- maids and groomsmen closing in behind them. At the Shallcross-Butler wedding, which Was avery brilliant affair, the decorations were particularly elaborate, and the bridal arty unusually large, twenty-four in num- r. he feature of this function was the choral service, the choristers marching. down the side aisie, singing a hymn. At the center door they met the bridal party and led the way to the aitar, singing the bridal chorus from Lohengrin. ‘Suspended over the chancel was a canopy of smilax, upon which white chrysanthemums were strung like,a fringe. Suspended from it was an immense floral bell, formed of smaller bells, in each of which the clapper was a globe of electric light. Miss Butler is a member of the Daughters of the Revolution, being descended from Bettie Washington, sister of General Washington. Her's was the first marriage from the St. Louls Chap- ter of Daughters. At a third D that of Miss Schure- man and Mr. I. R. Mekeel, there were two maids of honor and two best men. At Miss Josephine Lane's wedding next week there will be a large bridal party. The bridemaids will all be gowned in white 8 taffeta with pink girdles and sashes. They, will carry shower bouquets of pink carnations, and all will wear large black velvet Gainsborough hats, with black lumes, A pretty luncheon was given on ureday to Miss Lane and her bridemaids by Miss Louise Simpkins. The guests were the Misses Lane, Cornelia Brockmier, Miss Simon and Miss Mitchell. The marriage of Miss Isabel Chapman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, J. G. Chapman, to Mr. Laurence. uran has been announced for Nov. 18. It will be a very brilliant func- tion.

HOW THE SITUATION LOOKS aT THE PRESENT TIME. WHEAT STRONG, UNSETTLED. Speculation Holding Off—Corn Very Quiet—Flour Rules Dull Items of Interest. Wheat is a strong position, but specu- lation is so unsettled over the coming elec- tion that the market has not the strong buying to back if up that was such a pow- erful influence during the advanee to above 86c. There has been a 6c advance since last Saturday, December selling at 76 yester- day, and 82c the bid for May, but the ad- vance was attended by numerous set-backs and shake-outs that kept the trade. dis- turbed. There is not much of a shortage out, but neither, probably, ig there any ex- tensive long interest. At close of yester- day December was 76960 and May 81%c. = Nearly all.the strength comes from abroad. About the strongest domestic con- ditions are perspective, which are small increases in supplies and a falling off in Northwestern receipts. It is elaimed that farmers’ deliveries of spri wheat have decreased fully 50 per cent, which will short- ly show in the arrivals at Minneapolis and Duluth. Except that the former market is reporting heavy sales of flour for export, there is no e cash business just now in any of the markets. Europe, while exhib- iting great firmness, has not been buying extensively on this side. European countries are now drawing upon their own crops, which are large in most the importing countries. Supplies on the ocean have increased rapidly and heavily through the very large shipments from America, the Danubian countries and of late from Russia. The fact that Australia and India continue to buy in this country and in Liverpool has a bulligh effect, but the fact of an extremely short crop,in India is not yet settled, and the scarcity of sup-, plies there has been chiefly due to the fact that holders of grain have not been selling. Prospects for the Argentine are good, and estimations now are for an exportable sur- plus of 40,000,000 bushels. . — The local cash market has been a most unsatisfattory one. Offerings have been rather small, but sellers have not been able to dispose of all they had daily for sale. City millers wére especially sparing in their purchases and took only what their immediate requirements demand- ed. he principal cause for this was the ‘difficulty in borrgwing money from the banks. Country millers were after supplies, but they did not purchase near so freely as they did some time ago. Yesterday sales on track were at 6%c for No. 2 red, 73@744%_ for No. 3 red, dee for No. 4 winter, 57c for rejected. * on * There was nothing really of interest in the corn market. The new crop has not started to come forward, but receipts of old have been more than enough to meet all demands. Speculation is light and of- fish, and will continue so until after the election. There was no great change in price at close of yesterday, Dec. being 23c and May 265c. > * The Daily Commercial) Bulletin says of flour: There was little export t e in flour during the week, owing to the irregu- larity of wheat and the impossibility of buyers and sellers of flour to get together in regard to prices. The bids that were refused on one day would have gladly been accepted on the next, and vi ersa, and so it kept on all through the week. There was, however, 4 disposition to purchase, yet foreigners were more conservative in their ideas than for several weeks past. The freight situation was also a bar to foreign business. No freight room was available for immediate shipment, and delays at the seaboard were inevitable. There was an indication of a weakening in rates for February and March shipment. The do- mestic trade has improved, and some mill- ers reported free sales to the South and East, yet business on the whole was far from being satisfactory. Shipments for the week were 46,509 bbls, of which 34,944 South, 10,088 Bast and 1,467 North and West, against 63,389 last week and 51,062 last year.

Exports of wheat from the principal ex- porting countries to Europe for twelve weeks this season have been 15,249,000 bushels in excess of same period last year. * — English farmers’ deliveries of home-grown wheat: last week were - 458,000 bushels at average price of 86%c per bushel, against 86%c preceding week, 77%c last year and 54c two years ago. >. — 8 The John Mullally Commission Co. reports the receipt at Hay Exchange of a car hay that weighed 47,940 pounds, or near- ly 24 tons, which is the largest car ever re- ceived in this market., ge Mr. William Goodwin, writing from the Argentine, states that immense quantities of locusts have appeared, and the corn crop isa r one, but wheat with no frost to the end of October will be a good crop. The Paris Fermier says that the continued wet weather is unduly delaying wheat seed- ing in some of the important departments of France, and expresses fear of the proba- bility of having to resort to large spring sow ings. 55 New York Financial Chronicle says of the statistical position of cotton: This Last Last Week.

* * n Notwithstanding the enormous potato yield of last year, which sent prices down in all the leading markets to unprecedented figures, the crop for 1896 is one of the largest on record. The prices of the spuds in many of the big trade centers, as well as rural dis- tricts, went down to ten cents a bushel last spring—at the season of the year when usually highest, and it was generally con- ceded a such discouraging results would lead to a largely reduced acreage this year. However, the visible supply is very large and high prices are not entertained by the most sanguine for any part of the crop be- fore the growth of 1897 appears. It is be- lieved by many that there will be some for- eign demand soon. Germany, it is said, will have to import. ‘ A number of changes, removals, etc., have taken place in the produce district during the past two weeks. Jno. Gorman & Bro. have left their old quarters and are moving into the large and commodious buildings erected for the fruit and produce trade on Third street between Cass avenue and Dixon street, by the L. & N. Railroad Company. L. Garvey & Co. also moved into the new buildings a week ago, and so did Henry Schneithorst from his old quarters on Main street The A. Weir Produce Company is also mowne same attractive quarters, and so is Pillman Bros. and Dacy & Pomsoneau, J. W. and W. J. Corcoran abandoned their old stand on Fourth street. over two weeks ago, being the first to move into the new structures. Frank Kroeger has also rented one the new buildings and moves to-morrow on- day). Thus it will be seen that eight firms have already | eight of the eighteen new buildings and most of those unsecured will doubtless soon be taken up by other parties. * * * The pecan crop of the country is surpris- ingly small this year and a big advance in prices is already manifest. This shortage follows the largest crop ever grown in the United States, which last year’s yield proved to be. Those parties who invested last season and carried over part of last year’s crop are being well rewarded for their enter- prise and good judgment. | Felix Scalzo moved out into the aristo- cratic West End a week ago; and on wak- ing up the frst morning looked through the windows d Was so bewildered with the display of trees, green foliage, wild flowers, etc., that he involuntarily exclaimed in language that brought his bride to the scene, What station are we at?“ Yes, Mr. Scalzo is enjoying his new home to such an extent that he gets down to business nearly two hours later than usual. He will cancel all his life insurance and accident policies, feeling that he is safe for forty years in his new and luxurious quarters. . * There is a substantial new firm in the pro- duce distfiet—rather a combination of old operators. C. J., Becker and George P. Lang, under the style of Lang & Becker, have opened at 1014 North Third street. Car- load lots will be their specialties. Mr. Lang has been in the trade thirty years, while Mr. Becker been fairly in the swim for twenty-two years, and they have an abund- ance of capital as well as experience to draw on in conducting their business. Florida is shipping here at present quite liberally a variety of products not usually looked for at this season of the year, and some of which afford little or no margin to shippers because it’s entirely too early—fol- lowing too closely the-disappearance of the old crops. Cucumbers, string beans, egg plants, gumbo, squash, etc., are among the offerings. Tomatoes and other products that usually mark the advent of spring will appear here from the State next month. The game market has been in a deplorable condition all week, and the oldest operators in thé trade cannot recall three days in suc- cession when so much spoiled 3 had to be dumped as were carted off Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The result has been rather disastrous to many shippers who were in no position to suffer the sert- ous losses arising. Rece‘vers and dealers were disgusted with the situation, as they made more enemies than friends in the country as the outcome of the warm weath- er, which caused all the trouble. ON THE STREET.

Everything depends upon the outcome of the voting of Tuesday. It is for this reason that a feeling of great tension may be noted in financial circles. Fortunately the strain can not last much longer, and after -Tues- day the business of the country will be resumed on normal lines, and trade and speculation can be conducted without the mental reservations and the qualifications that now attend every venture. There are ample rifts in the cloud of uncertainty to enable one to see the glorious prospect of a high national prosperity in the foreground. This, too, has taken place in the face of conditions which as a rule serve as a most depressing influence on the stock market. The money market has been very stringent and its condition has been the center of interest this week. Owing to a combination of circumstances, but chiefly to the pre- vailing uneasiness in regard to the political situation, the monéy market has deen grow- ing firmer for several weeks, and on Thurs- day its condition culminated in a State which has usually n ‘associated with times of severe panic. The fact that the effect upon the values of securities was rel. atively slight may reasonably be ascribed to the knowledge that the life of the strin- gency was known to be limited and to the confident political feeling which makes in- vestors hold on to securities, the value of which they expect to be materially en- hanced within a short time. . Relief came to the situation through the decision of some of the largest banks to pool their resources in such a way as to be able to supply deserving applicants for the accommodation in the money market with the funds necessary. Their action was at once followed by a sharp recovery in the stock market, the advancing tendency of which had been held in check only by the distressing rates for money on call. Of the upward of $60,000,000 gold received on the current import movement, only about one-half is accounted for in the known holdings of the banks and the ry. The rest has gone into hoard, along with probably hundreds of millions of other money. The extent of this prospect cannot be approximately éstimated, but an esti- mate of it is furnished by bank statements received from various parts of the coun- try. ‘Fron some at hand it may be seen that the banks themselves are offenders in this respect, as many, of them are carry ag cash to the extent of their deposits, an in a great manv cases reserve ranging from 50 to 80 per cent. By refusing to lend this money the banks force business stagnation, and raise discon- \IABULES | Miss Jane Roberson, of Cuminock, N. C., says: “I suffered with indigestion and female troubles for three long years, and until a friend of mine recommended that I try Ripans Tabules. I had taken so much medicine and received no benefit that I had no faith in anything. But my friend insisted so hard that I decided to try the Tabules and I am thankful that I did for I am now a well te * woman, and owe it all to Ripans Tabules. I am forty-one years old, and until I commenced to use the Tabules could not walk any distance or do anything: I - am now able to walk three or four miles with ease and work all I wish.

The amount of money now out of cl lation that will after election returf active use will make money lenders | back on current rates with bonging. There will be use for it, however, in the general and great revival in trade, manufacturing’ and enterprise, and speculation of all kinds that lies across the border, the imaginary line of which is Tuesday next. The week's stock market has alternated between strength and weakness, though thé underlying tendency of prices seems to be, unquestionably to advance. During the greater part of the time apprehensions concerning the money market have restrict. were removed on Friday a buoyant tone. at once developed. After the election there will be a reawak- ing from the sluggish torpor of the past three years. There are many things to be done that will keep the people of this country busy for a long time, and the stock market not improbably may not only keep pace with the country at large in its develop- ment, but even run ahead of it. That is what makes speculation. Prices and values are constantly seeking an adjustment to each othef and their base. It-may be esti- mated that after Nov. 3 this country will be 50 per cent richer than it is now. The tendency of the stock market is to discount this gain. : THE POSTS REVIEW. ental BOLD by Wolftt-Wilson Dr ington Avyenne. r. LOU The Close of the Market Showed a Strong Stock Demand.

Anybody who thinks political interest is all centered in the down town districts should hie himself out to Forest Park and put his ear to the ground. He would hear strange sounds coming from way over in the southeast corner of the park, where Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns runs @ university for young women. The fair students are in the throes of political excitement. It was started last Wednesday night when the students decided to hold a really, truly election just like the men. canvass showed that three parties were Democrats, Republicans _ Prohibitionists. There were no Pop- sts. The first thing to be done was to make themselves a qualfied’’ voters. The spacious library was fitted up as a . oflice. hree clerks were chosen—Nettie Peet Democrat; Jessie McIntire, Republican, and Mary Sobieski, Prohibitionist. The young ladies had never registered before, but they get through the ordeal fairly well. There was po red tape and no embarrassiig oOatnu.

The last shot for Prohibition was fired by Miss Harriet Worthington. Thursday morning the girls were at work bright and early, preparing for the election, Party headquartérs were established, each decorated with appropriate mottoes. Thursday night the girls met in the H- brary and listened to a speech by Miss Harriet Guild. After supper the girls hurried to their rooms and came back, some of them play- ing ear-sphtting tunes on combs and others armed with tin pans and bells. They marched and counter-marched around the library.

He says: “For many years I was a great sufferer from rheumatic gout, and at last I had a dreadful attack that baffied the skill of our best physicians. In fact, I had no relief until I bewan taking Munyon’ s Rheu- matism Cure. A few doses of these little pills gave me such freedom from pain that I was able to sleep that night for the first time in two weeks, and two days later I could walk without pain. This was three years ago, and as I have not had a return of the gout since, I consider it a permanent cure.’ Has Thoroughly Tested Munyon. Mr. Henry A. Stege, corner of Sutter and Etzel avenue, says: We have made a thorough test of Munyon’s Remedies by using them in our family for more than a year with great success.

CHILDREN CR — —— — HOME LIFE OF SENATOR JONES. INTERESTING PERSONALITY OF THE LEADER OF THE DEM- OCRATIC CAMPAIGN. Next to Mr. Bryan himself, interest among his followers in the present cam- paign centers in the leader of the Demo- cratic national campaign, Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas. Senator Jones is a modest man, and he has not been exploited much in the press. He is a Mississippian by birth, having Deen born in Marshall County, that State, September 29, 1838. The Senator is now 57 — old, and bids fair to live the allotted of n. But in his youth he was of & Weakly constitution, with a tendency to consumption, and it was not thought he Dad it in him to endure the fatigue of the 1 public life he has led. fu! t he was grit clear through, as his war — — — — — — — — — — — and did a soldiér’s duty, shirking none of it, until he was mustered out at the close of the four years’ struggle. Perhaps the outdoor life of the soldier strengthened his lungs, and rendered him more robust. In any event he has been a busy man ever since, and has had t physique to stand the strain. Very soon after the war he married Miss Sue Somerville and moved to Wash- ington County, Arkansas, He engaged in farming, practiced law, also took an active part in politics. In 1873 he was elected to the State Sen- ate. He was elected to the Forty-seventh Congress, and has been in one of the two houses ever since. He served in the. two succeeding Congresses, and in 1884 was elected United States Senator. He was re- elected in 1890 at the expiration of his term, and it is a foregone conclusion that -the Arkansas Legislature when it meets in January will honor him with a third term. Senator Jones is not a, recent convert to the Cause of silver. He has been a con- sistent bimetallist all through his Con- gressional career, and has always been in line with the leaders of the Democratic party in uncompromising opposition to cen- tralizgation in government. Senator Jones is, and always has been, & busy man, but whatever time he can spare from politics is devoted to his fam- ily. He owns his own home in Washing- ton, It is not a mansion, since for years the Senator’s only income has been his sal- ary as Senator, and hé bought the place on o- install ~ B no 3 Jones. n ph: See . — She is an unassuming young lady, an ac- complished musician, and an enthusiastié wheelwoman. She is extremely popular among the many friends of the family. Senator Jones is a man of very simple habits. He rises early always before 7 o'clock, and is generally in bed before 10 at night. He does not drink, nor use to- bacco in any form. He takes a constitu- tional walk every day and has an unbound- ed capacity for work. He is affable, easy to approach, an entertaining conversation- alist, and is possessed of a great deal of that personal magnetism which fits him for a leader. THE WIDOW APPEALS.

The bicycle has made rapid strides toward fulfilling the first part of this prophecy, but now comes an evolution of the roller ate, which threatens to knock out the leycle.

The razor strop of human skin exempli- fies the fin-de-siecle indifference of the age to means and ends. It need scarcely be @aid that it was @ the brain of a heartless medical student, steeled to Insensibility of the sacredness of the corporeal body by constant contact with it in the dissecting room, that this razor stfop had its or'gin. You can never tell to what heights of au- dacity the average medical student will reach in his professional profanation of the corpses upon which he is called to operate. This is proverb‘tal the world over, and it has come to pass that he looks upon a hu- man cadaver-—it was he who first called it a stiff —as merely a fieshly commodity, which, the vital spark once gone from it, becomes so much claw to be worked over and manipulated in any way he sees fit. It is hard to believe, but it 's a fact that the razor strop of human flesh exists in dn 4 8 wa 7 magnificent trees, consequent tncrease in the products, which ‘ THE BAY OF BENGAL. The evolution of a community of 10,000 per. eons of a most degraded type from a state of squalor and vice to that of prosperity and wide intelligence has set all Hurope talking. The scene of this marvelous prog- ress is the Andaman Islands, in the Bay of Bengal, England's greatest penal settlement for life convicts, It has gaken just forty years to bring about thé present state of affairs—to make over, a8 it were, these criminals from foes of law to admirable citizens. When the first convicts landed on the island they found a primeval forest. In fact, the climate was so deadly that sixty years before, when a British force under Lord Cornwallis tried to establish a settlement there, utter fail- ure resulted. * The first convict settlement was made in 1857-58, not long after the Indian mutiny, and it seemed at that time if the sentences of the convicts wouid short indeed, even thougn they were for life. All the condi- tions were such as made human existence brief, and it seemed a well-nigh impossible task to alter them. Perseverance, however, will accomplish much, and the flourishing state of affairs on the islands at present shows what hard work, and plenty of it, when engineered by capable men, will do. The convicts were told when they landed that, while they never could leave the island, after ten years’ of good behavior they would no longer be forced to lead the life of prisoners, but could wörk for themselves, and the Government would help. them. This proved to be the needed im- petus, and the result is seen to-day in a fertile island settlement covering many square miles of gardens, and consistin of more than fifty villages of reformed criminals. All this beside the convict sta- ay and the extensive government build- ngs. Originally the islands were covered with from many of which the rarest orchids hung in rich profusion. These trees formed the very best timber, and timber culture was proved one of the most profitable industries to which the islanders devoted themselves. While the progress of the inhabitants of the islands has been very great s nce the first decade of settlement, it is only at a recent date that the marked evidences of prosperity have created such widespread wonder. The enterprise of the islanders and the Government has resulted in the importation of modern appliances, and the AND BOWS TO HER. This is a story of à dead man who con- , tinued to act the perfect gentleman as the honored guest of his widow long after death had gathered him in. | Long after the time when under ordinary circumstances the body would have been reduced to its original elements, nought remaining but a grinning skull and molder- ing bones, the dead man eat all day in his accustomed chair in the parlor. And the courtly manner which had charmed his wife, when he was in the flesh, remained. Whenever his widow entered the parlor, the departed would pay the homage due her-sex by rising, making a polite bow, and then return to his seat. This is not a dream ora 1 It 18 a fact, and it is recalled by the recent death of Mrs. Joseph E. Bivins, wife of the President of the First National Bank of Cordele, Ga. She was the widow of the dead man, who never forgot his manners as long as he remained above ground. Mrs. Bivins when a maidén lady lived in Atlanta, where she had quite a snug prop- erty. She was well matured—eligible in- deed for the old maid list—when she met and loved Dr. Marvin, who had moved from Omaha, Neb. Dr. Marvin was the gentle- manly dead man of this true story. He was not dead at that time, however. He was very much alive, not only to the charms of the elderly maiden lady, but Al- ways with an eye to the main chance. He invested wisely in real estate eculations, and when he cloged out his de he had a fortune of „000. The couple moved to Cordele, Ga., where the doctor built a fine mansion, but they had not lived in it long before he sickened and died. The widow was inconsolable and refusing to allow the corpse to be interred, she devised the weirdest expédient that ever entered the brain of @ bereaved wife, to keep him ever in her sight. She sent to New Orleans for an expert embalmer and electrician. By their ald she contrived to continue the departed to some extent in the role of husband. The em- balmer having done his work so perfectly as to quite arrest the process of decomposi- tion, the electrician connected the body by wires to a powerful battery in such a way that when the widow entered the room and touched a button the body would rise, as in life, make a stately bow and reseat itself. The bereaved Mrs. Marvin derived conso- lation in this way for a whole year, but a dead husband, even one who is courteous and makes salaams, is a cold, unresponsive, automatic sort of companion at best, so that finally the widow yielded to the en- | A human telephone is the most up-to- date Manner in which electricity and the have been made to work in Although many marvelous — 5 hat tali ‘at rrent lately, ' e e being ‘has Maver until — wl — that " f 3 Ads dels ter 2488 K.

She was the seventh child of a fam- ily of twelve. Her father and mother, still living, are @ Rr couple, pether Shes sisters e two brothers, all of whom are stil] living. On the day of her birth he was said to have measured only twelve Doth a tall and cloven feet. This infant was BIGGEST HEAD IN THE WORLD.

Physicians have claimed for a long time that he had the largest head of any humen be in the world. Their claims have never been disputed, for Mus- grove truly had an enormous head. It was a veritable balloon. This remarkable indi- vidual died at the County Home at Mar- shalsea. 7 At the time of his death Musgrove was 2% years old, His death was due to ner- vous prostration, brought on by the ener- mous load he wes compelled to carry around neck and lders was very marked.

His playmates-ridiculed him, and to get rid of them he finally left home and secured ad- mission to the home at Marshalsea, through the efforts of Dr. George and senst- H.

An observatory built upon this eminence to the height of 426 feet above the level of the straits, gives a view of land and water that cannot be excelled for beauty any- where east of the Mississippi River. Among other places visited by the sightseer were the old mission house and the John Jacob Astor House. The last named is one of the most historic houses on the island. Part of it Was once the headquarters of the Amer- ican Fur company, but it is now a modern hotel. The island abounds with many other fine hotels, while the shores are lined with beautiful cottages, the summer homes of prominent people from all parts of the country. Afver leaving Mackinac, the Les Che- neaux Islands (The Snows) can be seen to the left. There are.about one hundred of these and in the waters surrounding them there is the finest muskalonge, pike, pick- erel, trout and bass fishing to be found anywhere. As the boat enters Lake Hu- ron the first discomforts of the 11 are experienced, many of the passengers being compelled to go below because of the rough- ness of the stormy Huron, or lose the fine fish supper provided on board before leav- ing the island. This passes away, how- ever, as the steamer enters the Bt. Mary's River, so named by Marquette, Dabion and the other early French ex- plorers in the land of the Ojibways. St. Mary’s River, which connects Lakes Huron and Superior, ig sixty-two miles long an@is made up of a succession of beauti- ful, straits and broad lakes. It is almost en- tirely shut in by high hills, which rise in places from the water’s edge. Several hours’ ride through this panorama of nat- ure and the old town of Sault Ste. Marie, noted for having the largest locks jn the world, is reached. Sault Ste. Marie, which as a population of 10,000, is built on the west bank of the St. Mary's River, directly opposite the falls of that name. At this point the United States has built a canal to enable boats to get around the rapids. The first locks were completed in 1 1855, and were owned by the State of Mich- igan, which authorized the construction by a bill passed by the State Legislature appropriating 780, acres of land to aid in the work. In 1881 the United States Gov- ernment built a lock 515 feet long and 16 feet deep, and recently completed another, which is the largest in the world. After an expenditure of lars, the lock, which is 800 feet long, 100 ber of the finest buildings and damaged others. The great international bridge, which con- nects the American and Canadian shores, is an additional object of great interest. But few passengers on the steamers ing up or down fail to shoot the rapids’ | 2 e next 8 are Hancock ing region in body of water As a whole the copper industry is remark- ably profitable, peninsula, according to the report of George A. Newett, Commissioner of Mineral Statis- tics of Michigan, made in their credit in the way of dividends paid shareholders, the enormous sum of $68,460,- The fifteen different properties which contributed this are the alumet and Hecla, Atlantic, Central, Cliff, Cooper Falls, Franklin, Kearsarge, Minnesota, Osceola, Pewabic, Phoenix, Quincy, Ridge and Tamarack, all located within a short distance of Hancock and Houghton. The total product to date, about 859,000 gross tons, represents a market value in New York of about $390,000,000. Hard times are not known in this region, the copper mines giving employment the year around to thousands of people. Commissioner Newett said: “While much has already been done in this coppe: field, there is yet much more to be accomplished. Only a small territory productive of the metal has been thorough! and practically explored and deve The length of the copper-bearing formation im ‘Mich is fully 130 miles, and fts width varies from three to fifteen miles, becoming wider as it extends westward. Upon this large tract of land the present working mines are embraced within an area of thir- vare miles, not on of the this present umet at the northern.“ The largest mine in the vicinity of Hough- ton and Hancock is the Quincy, whose works can be seen rising hundreds of feet above the latter place. It has been produc- ing copper for the past forty years and has distributed $7,670,000 in dividénds, besides which it has credit for a surplus of more than $1,000,000, In securing this. amount, $29,000,000 has been expended, and this has made the mine one of the best equipped of this region. The following quotation from a speech of Graham Pope, made at Houghton, shows how this rich region was saved to the United States by Benjamin Franklin: During the Revolutionary war, Benjamin Franklin, None the United States in Europe, was high in favor with the French Government, and had good opportunities to make himself acquainted with the ‘rela- cions’ of the early missionaries, who, seek- ing the salvation of the souls of the Indian inhabitants, had at the same time their eyes and ears open to tempo things. These ‘relacions’ contained statements of minerals found on and near the shores of Lake Su- perior, particularly copper. So impressed was Franklin with the possibilities of this region, that he insisted to success that the boundary line between the United States and Canada should lie north of Isle Royale, thereby securing to the United States the whole south shore of Lake Superior, and the north shore west of Pigeon River.“ Ashland, the next stopping place, is one of the principal summer resorts of Lake Su- perior and the principal 9 point for the iron ore from the big mines located a few miles back in the Hinterland.“ The ore docks in the harbor reresent a huge for- tune and the largest vessels of the lakes may be seen there every day during the time that navigation is en. The lumber industry combines with the production of iron to make Ashland a point of great com- mercial importance, : On the evening of the fifth day after lea Chicago the steamer City of Duluth canie in sight of Duluth and West Superior, which lie near together at the head of Lake Superior. Duluth, which is built upon the in canoes sides of a hill, has 60,000 inhabitants, while III at ae * - % FORT MACKINAC, MACKINAC ISLAND. manned by Indians, who make considerable | money this way during the season. The ride down the foaming rapids is most exhilarat- ing and usually results in a drenching for those who take it.

The industries of the two are not unlike, there being im- mense flouring mills, blast furnaces, iron works and saw mills in each. These cities are the outlet for the great grain produc- ing country to the west of Lake Superior, and many immense elevators for the storing of grain are to be seen in both places. In West Superior are the celebrated steel barge works, where the peculiar whaleback boats are constructed. From their natural advantages, being as mear the Hast by water as Milwaukee and Chicago, and being the outlet for the great grain country, Duluth and West Superior are destined to become important compe- titors with the older cities on the lakes. CHARLES E. CUTTER. Rise.and Decline of Strength. The “lifting power’ of a youth of seven- teen years is two hundred and eighty pounds; in his twentieth year it increases to three hundred and twenty pounds, and in the thirtieth and thirty-first years it reaches its height—three hundred and fifty-six pounds. At the end of the thirty-first years the strength begins to decline, very slowly at first. By the fortieth year it has de- creased eight pounds, and this diminution continues at a slightly increasing rate until tht fiftieth year is reached, when the fig- ure is three hundred and thirty pounds. Ar- ter this period the strength fails more and more 8 until the weakness of old age is reac MY LOVE. =~ Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch.

The stranger wore @ dejected look as he ambled into the Post-Dispatch office and found his way to the Sunday department. He sighed wearily and took à seat with- out waiting to be invited. “Did you ever,” he asked, eyeing the Sunday editor closely, “take a meal in one of these restaurants where they have an orchestra.that plays while you eat? “Never? Well, then, take the advice of a less fortunate fellow being and stay away. “Last night I went into one of those places, expecting to enjoy’my meal in peace and quiet.
