Tho Chilcat trail, of course, cannot be used for horse racking. "The men who have gone to the Skaguay pass with determination and grit have succeeded in getting over It with their outfits while those devoid of these qualities have given it up in disappointment. It is from the latter class that you have heard so much of the terrible hardships of the trail — tenderfeet, who were either unaccustomed to work or afraid of it. “When I arived at Skaguay and hud been over the route and had secured a thorc uga knowledge of the conditions surrounding It, 1 saw that the confusion would continue to increase until the men would organize and make a united effort to llx up the trail. But none of the men were willing to put up the money necessary to buy dynamite and tools into the hands of one man; those did not know each other and were suspicious and distrustful. Every man wanted to fuish on. but was unwilling to do anything to help others. I doubt if even at the Greek retreat from Larissa was there such a desire to get ahead of others. But the trail was deep in mud and blockaded, and there was no head nor authority. In this dilemma, recognizing the need of immediate action in behalf of the New York World. 1 provided ample explosives and tools, being sure that with means in their hands, tho Americans on the trail would pull out of the mud. This they did. When the' nows arrived that the World had provided the necessary dynamite and tools, the men organized and went to work—eight hundred of them. Three points of rock which jutted out into the river and which necessitated long and laborious detours were blasted out. saying from two and a half to three miles of travel, making a passable route for hundreds jf men and horses.’' FIRST SNOWSTORM. Mountain Paasen Made Too Slippery for Gold Seeker*. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 19.--A special to the Call from Hal Hoffman, dated Juneau, Sept, 13, says; The first snowstorm of the season swept over the mountains last night, which is one indication that the same thing is likely to recur at any time or continue steadily. Small boats which arrived here to-day from Skaguay bay report that the snow fell one and a half feet deep on the Skaguay trail. This means that further progress cannot be made on that trail by the staggering thousands and that the establishment of winter quarters must be begun quickly, where not already under way. The slippery, sliding snow will render it almost impossible to make any progress without attempting to say anything of the drifts that pile up from tho winds. The snowstorm may be said to stop further progress over both Dyea ar and Skaguay unless such an unprecedented thing as a spell of dry calm w’eather comes. Already the Indications begin to bear out the statement made in these dispatches four weeks ago that the trails to the Klondike would be marked by collapsed tents, blackened hopes and skeletons of the unwary and. venturesome.

WORK FOR THOUSANDS lIESIMPTION OF GLASS FACTORIES AM) OTHER I.\ 1)1 ST KIES. ♦ Plants ut El wood, Anderson and Elsewhere in Full Blast Again— Otber Indiana .Mew*. Sreciil to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., dept. 19.—Many mere window glass factories throughout the country will start this week, among them being at least stx Indiana plants. During the past week window glass manufacturers from Alexandria, Frankton, Pendleton, Dunkirk, Greer.iield and Hartford City have visited the Llwood factory and consulted with the national L. A. 300 president, Simon Burns, who has opened a branch office here. The above manufacturers expressed a desire to resume operations this week, but feared they could not secure ilatteners and cutters. President Burns pointed to the Elwood factory, now operating with a competent force of flatteners and cutters, and assured them that they could secure all the men they wanted to take the piace of the striking cutters and ilatteners. He has guaranteed to furnish the plants with union flatteners and cutters and they will resume operations this week with no less than 1,400 employes. The big window glass plant at Orestes, just east of Elwood, has undergone extensive repairs and will start work the ttrst week in October with 700 hands. The plants at Redkey, Anderson and Muncle are arranging to start the latter part of September. Hereafter separate wage scales will be signed for the various departments of the window glass trades, the cutters and flatteners dealing directly with the manufacturers. The McCloy lamp chimney factory will start Monday week with 400 employes, working fifty-seven shops and their large tank furnace. The company has added a complete tire department to its factory and has expended $3,000 in various other improvements. ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 19.—The American wire nail works, employing seven hundred men. the Lippincott lamp chimney plant, which works four hundred, and the Macbeth lamp chimney works, with a like number of men on its pay rolls, resumed in full blast to-night after a shut-down of two months and a half. W ABASH COLLEGE NOTES. Entrance Examinations Completed— Many Freshmen Not I p to the Murk. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORD3VILLE, Ind., Sept. 19.—Entrance examinations are through, classification Is practically completed and the routine of work is now fairly on in Wabash College. Fifty per cent, of the candidates for freshmen standing failed to make the grade. They will be admitted conditionally. This percentage, though large, is not unusually so—showing that Wabash has a high English standard. The editors of The Wabash promise a good college paper this year to students, alumni, friends and exchanges. The first number will be issued In October and besides other articles will contain an address on “The Newspaper and the College,” by John S. McLain, class of ’77, delivered before the alumni at the annual banquet In June, 1897. Mr. McLain is editor of the Minneapolis Journal. Last Friday evening new students and old' were received by the professors and their wives in Yandes Library Hail. The reception was under the auspices of the College Y. M. C. A. After this the students were further entertained by the Y. P. S. C. E. of Center Church, at the home of Miss Spilrnarn At these functions fraternity “spikers” were much in evidence. Carl Banks has been initiated by Phi Delta Theta. Prof. Emery and family spent the summer in the town of Engelskirchen, on the Rhine near Cologne. The professor examined a number of the lead and zinc mines in that locality. He also visited the recent excavations on the site cf Yrier. the German Rome, A Roman villa, with baths, covering five acres and an emperor’s palace have been unearthed. This find promises to prove very interesting to students of archaeology. An extended report of It has not been made. Last Thursday morning Rev'. Dr. R. G. Garrett, of Chattanooga, Tenn., conducted chapel service. Dr. Garret was an eye-wit-ness to the assassination of President Lincoln and in his father’s barn Booth was shot. Some of the students heard his lecture on ‘The Nation’s Tragedy.” The city Y. M. C. A. lecture course will afford students the chance to hear Talmage, Kennan, Burdette, besides two or three leading musical organizations during the winter.

the nomination of the administration Republicans. It Is believed that other county conventions will follow suit, taking their cue from Senator Teller, who has declared that he would not make a speech in support of Hayt during the campaign. FOR POLITICAL REASONS. Arrival at San Francineo of Two Men Who Fled from Guatemala. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.—Among the passenge-rs on the steamer Colon, which arrived from Central America to-day, w’ere two prominent citizens of Guatemala, both of whom have thought it expedient for political reasons to remain for a while away from the scene of hostilities in that country'. The best-known of these voluntary refugees is Manuel Morales Tobal, who finds himself embarrassed by the fact that while minister of agriculture under Barrios (he is a cousin of Prosperio Morales, the revoltionary leader) he obtained leave of absence, his resignation on account of illness being refused, and came to this country', ostensibly to place his daughter in school. He would express no opinion regarding Guatemalan politics. His companion is Francisco Etoledo, who is one of the recently deposed congressmen, and who, with Aledo De Lone, was imprisoned for three days by order of Barrios after the latter had proclaimed himself dictator. He is an avowed sympathizer with the revolutionists and expects the ultimate success of Morales, who, he says, is favored by most of the generals in the demoralized army of 30,(XX) men. However, he does not deny the constitutional power of Congress to extend the President’s term. He says the situation Is chaotic. As the steamer left Guatemala before the recent exciting events already reported in these dispatches, they have nothing to repeat in the way of news except to confirm the published accounts of the dissolution of Congress and the proclamation of a dictatorship by Barrios. YELLOW FEVER CASES. (Concluded from First Page.) ance of being carried north over the Illinois Central and went west to Little Rock, Ark., where he secured passa?> over th’e Iron Mountain to St. Louis. Even going over this route he had to travel by stealth and conceal himself from the health officers at Alexandria, where there is a shotgun quarantine. He laughingly refused to tell how he eluded their vigilance. Mr. Kerns was compelled to travel twentyfour hours without food, as he could not leave the train to get his meals. At Monroe he noted an amusing circumstance. There was a widow with four children who formerly lived in that place. She was too shrewd to try to get into town directly from New Orleans, and stopped off at another station. The next day she took another train for Monroe. The health officer wanted to know if she had not come from New Orleans. “Not directly,’ she replied; "I came here from Chanavill’e. I did not leave New Orleans on account of the fever. I am moving back here to live.” The officer was very suspicious, but finally, on his own responsibility, allowed her to enter town w'ithout subjecting her to thM ten days’ quarantine. At some places health regulations are so severe that when passengers from infected districts get off trains they are kept outside of town over night and then ordered on board a train at the muzzles of shotguns and head’ed back to the place from where they came. The men leaving Southern cities, Mr. Kerns says, are mostly Northerners who know nothing about the fever excepting what th'ey have heard of it, and w'ho became panic-stricken at the first mention of it. It is most unfortunate, the conductor says, that the plague has broken out at this time, as it will injure business very much. New Orleans never had prospects that were brighter than they were for the coming winter. A heavy cotton crop is being picked; the cane grinding will commence next month and promises an abundant yield. A large crop of rice has already been harvested and is now being threshed. In the winter New Orleans is always visited by tourists from the North. It is feared that they will remain away this winter, even if the fever does not become an epidemic, on account of the sensational reports that have been published by some of the Chicago and Cincinnati papers. There was a traveling man who placed large orders for patent medicines at New Orleans. After he went home he was interviewed by a Chicago paper and •was quoted as saying that the facts were being suppressed by the health officials, declaring that for every case reported there is at least a hundred in existence. So incensed did his New Orleans customers become when they read his interivew that they packed his wares and shipped them all back to him. People in Dixie realize that reports of yellow fever in their land injures their business and they grow very angry when the facts are exaggerated. Mr. Kerns says that w'hen he left New Orleans but seven cases had been reported, and they were under such strict regulations that there was not much fear of an epidemic. In the course of three weeks. Air. Kerns expects to return to his post unless reports grow more alarming.

DEATHS AT HAVANA. Many Victim* of Dysentery, Enteritis and Other Diseases. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—1n his weekly report to the Marine Hospital Service Sanitary Inspector Bruner, at Havana, says that for the week ended Sept. 9 there were 326 deaths, of which 15 were from yellow fever, 29 from enteric and pernicious fevers, 34 from dysentery and 55 from enteritis. The inspector says the decline in deaths from yeliow fever is only apparent, many deaths from that disease, he thinks, being placed under the head of enteritis and enteric fever. At the same time there are not as many cases of yellow fever in the military hospitals as there were two months ago, the soldiers who are sick being cared for in the hospital elsewhere. For two weeks, according to the city mortality reports, no deaths from yellow fever have occurred in the city proper; this condition, he says, does not exist. “The enormous death rate from entritis and dysentery,” the inspector says, “is a result of the lack of nutritious fooa and the deaths from these diseases have not yet reached high water mark. Unless the laws are so amended as to admit certain important food products none but the favored few will be able to obtain nutritious food. Even at the present time all fresh meats command prices above the reach of the lower classes, while breadstuffs are, proportionately high. I have not had sufficient time to push an investigation of the number of cases of beriberi among the Chinamen here. It is certain that no city can show a more inviting presence to epidemic disease than the city of Havana.” Newspaper Art and Enterprise. Chicago Post. Pictorial journalism accomplished a master stroke this morning when it gave to the expectant citizens a three-column picture of Mr. Luetgert in the act of losing what we shall assume to have been a superior lateral incisor—that the words of Scripture might be fulfilled, “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,” etc. Under ordinary circumstances wo should not regard a tooth pulling at the county jail sufficient provocation for a three-column sketch, but the swift execution of the old Hebraic law was a. startling exposition of the fatality that hangs over us. It is due to Mr. Luetgert to say that, so far as the artist has permitted us to judge, ha bore his sufferings with great equanimity and never winced under the forceps, although the countenances of the throng around him exhibited emotions of the deepest anxiety, and in many cases of the most profound sympathy. We believe that our breakfasts were rendered the more enjoyable by this little three-column touch of nature, although, as a general proposition, we do not regard the meal hour as the most appropriate time for the consideration of matters connected with dentistry. We regret the fact that the morning papers did not tell us what eventually became of Mr. I.uetgert’s tooth; whether it was preserved by the defense as an instrument w r herewith in some subtle way to confound the prosecution or was turned over to the Academy of Sciences or the Illinois Historical Society. Whatever became of it, we are glad that its mission as a disturber of the peace is over, and that Us final passage has been immortalized in the world of art. Two Men Drowned. CHICAGO, Sept. 19.—Peter Praesen. a laborer, and Henry Plank, a fisherman, were drowned in the lake near the mouth of the Calumet river this afternoon. The two men were gratifying a, wish of Mrs. Praesen to ride on the lake when it was rough and the laborer’s wife barely esWhen the boat capsized she managed to grasp hold of it and hang on until rescued by the life-saving crew, but the high sea swept the men away and they sank before help came.

FUR SEAL CONTROVERSY STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS NOT INCLINED TO DISCUSS IT. Action of the London Time* in Printing; Secretary Chamberlain's Letter Causes Surprise. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The officials of the State Department are not disposed to comment on the fur seal correspondence given out by the British Foreign Office and summarized in the London Times further than to say that it show's the object sought by the government of the United States for the past three years has been attained by the agreement of Great Britain to participate in the conference to be held in October. The British government has seen fit to limit its part in the conference to an ascertainment of the facts in dispute as to seal life. It was precisely this result which was contemplated by Secretaries Gresham and Olney w'hen they proposed the creation of a commission of scientists to ascertain whether, under the operation of the existing regulations, the seals were or were not on the road to extermination. If such commission should report in favor of the contention of the United States this government did not doubt that Great Britain would consent to such modification of the regulations as would save the seals from extermination. The continued refusal of the British government to consent to such a commission and conference led to the transmission to Embassador Hay of Secretary Sherman's note of May 10, which was followed by Lord Salisbury’s reply agreeing to the conference. Surprise is expressed at the State Department that the London Times should publish only the concluding paragraph of Secretary Sherman's note, and devote four columns to a communication from the Colonial Office, which is referred to as Mr. Chamberlain’s answer to Secretary Sherman, a paper which has not been communicated to the State Department, and, therefore, to which an official reply cannot be made. Comment* of the London Pre**. LONDON, Sept. 20.—Commenting on the communication from the Colonial Office to the Foreign Office on the dispatch of Secretary Sherman to Embassador Hay, the Standard says: “The correspondence shows that the British government has a perfect answer to the complaints of the government at Washington, and the careful reader can easily discover in Air. Chamberlain's exposition the basis of a serious indictment against the United States, not only on account of,its high handed and quite unwarrantable treatment of British sealers, but also on account of its obvious desire to compass the destruction of a British industry and to overturn the Paris award. Whether in these circumstances it wa? vise to agree to a conference time will s.iow. Possibly some good will come of a friendly consultation. In the meantime the AlcKinley administration will pe’rhaps cultivate a more conciliatory tone in its communications with European states.” The Daily News, dealing with the blue book, says: “We receive the gift of the blue book with some misgiving and with the suspicion that its contents are uighly provocative. Mr. Chamberlain in writing his reply to Mr. Sherman’s dispatch had not been restrained by any of those concerns of diplomatic courtesy which Mr. Sherman has been so freely censured for neglecting. Why has the present moment been chosen for the publication of stinging recriminations and rankling imputations of bad faith? The present exhibition of indignation is either too late or too soon, or there is some contemplated hitch in the negotiations requiring a revival of the heated controversy, just when we all thought the combatants were cooling down. There is no other sign of a hitch and we do, not believe there is a hitch. Either the dispatches of Air. Chamberlain have been allowed to come out inadvertently simply because the printer was ready, in w'hich case a blunder has been committed almost as serious as the publication of Air. Sherman’s dispatch in July, or there has been a foolish desire to gratify personal vanity or to show the Canadians that they had a valiant defender, in which case the blunder has nearly attained the proportions of a crime, for it would be a crime to imperil a friendly negotiation at the moment when a settlement was almost in view.”

Chinese Prefer American Goods. WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.—The United States consul at Amoy, China, says in a recent dispatch to the State Department that “the Chinese people prefer American cotton fabrics, spinnings, flour, oils, canned goods and meats and even buy them at higher prices than other importations can be had for.” He also says “there is a more amicable feeling existing between the natives and foreigners at Amoy and in the surrounding country than probably exists at any other port in China. He thinks the rapid increase of trade between the United States and this part of China should command the attention of American merchants and of the United States government. BLOOMING KANSAS. It* Present Prosperity Largely Due to the Money It Borrowed. Philadelphia Record. Very cheering news concerning the effects of the rise in the price of wheat ana of the improved markets for other farm products continues to come from the West. The farmers who have realized so handsomely on their crops are devoting the proceeds to paying off mortgages that seemed to many of them too heavy to ever become extinguished. As another consequence of the abundant crops farm values have risen all over the West—a fact w'hich in itself cannot fail to materially modify the views of their owners on some current economical questions. But from no part of the West come such gratifying reports as from Kansas, a Stale in which the champions of cheap money have celebrated their greatest triumphs. For six years the hirsute Peffer denounced in the United States Senate the “gold bugs” and money sharks of the East who were eating up the substance of the poor Kansas farmers. For session after session he introduced resolutions demanding the issue of fiat paper currency by the government or the free coinage of light-weight dollars as the only alternate means of relief for the suffering agricultural interests. But in a trice the wdiole situation is changed, and the fantastic theories of Populism for making people prosperous and happy by debasing money and repudiating obligations are blown to the western winds. The Eastern public has react the report of J. W. Breidenthal, bank commissioner of Kansas, himsetf an enraged Populist, in which he boasts that Kansas is the most prosperous State of the Union. Asa proof of this he says that during this year the mortgages on not less than 40,000 Kansas homesteads wall be lifted. These mortgage:?, he estimates, average SI,OOO each, which would make a total payment of $40,000,000 and raise Kansas to the first position as a "commonwealth of homesteads.” Should no untoward events cloud this prospect, he says, the Kansas farmer will be “the most independent person on earth.” There are some other deductions that Mr. Breidenthal might draw' from the statements which he presents in such glowing colors. Populist as he is, it may possibly dawn on his mind that the “rapacious money lenders” of the East have had no small share in making Kansas a "comra mwealth of homesteads.” Os the $40,600,000 of mortgages which he says will be paid this year, almost the whole amount was applied to the purchase of Kansas homes. If the savings of the wage winners deposited in Eastern banks had not been loaned to borrowers to open farms in Kansas Mr. Breidenthal’* account would probably hav, been wanting in much of its proportion.-. There is no doubt that in many instanc?.the mortgage has been an extremely oppressive burden, as successive years of bad harvests and low prices have made it im possible to pay the accumulations of inter est. But the sunshine and the rain hav brought an abundant harvest, and many i Kansas farmer is rejoicing in the free homestead that his industry opened with the aid of much abused Eastern capital. A year ago, when listening to the Peffers, Broidenthals and other cheap-monej demagogues, many of these Kansas farm ers would have Been glad to discharge then debts to Haste rn lende rs in half the amoun with light-weight dollars. But they hav> rVdeemed the!.* homesteads in gold. th> standard, and as honest citizens there is ndoubt that they feel the better for it. Ii other words, they have paid their debts principal and interest, in the sam'e mone.t which they received. It is not concaivabb that their minds would have been as eas\ as they are now if by a trick of 16 to ’ legislation they had Been enabled to repr diate half their obligations. Another deduction which Bank Commi: slower Breidenthal may draw from thv

happy change in Kansas. Nebraska and other portions of the West is that the day of Populism, with its cheap-money heresies —with all the riff-raff of Coin’s financial school ana with the schemes of state socialism—is well night over. The Western farmers will not hanker for payment of their wheat, com and cattle in depreciated currency when they can receive payment In the world’s standard of gold. Nor will they, when the railroads are swiftly carying their products to cash markets, be desirous of imposing upon their government and themsvlves tne monstrous burden and evil of state ownership of all the means of transportation. With the inevitable collapse of the Chicago platform long before the next presidvntial election, Mr. Bryan and ex-Governor Altgeld will be obliged in their despair to resort to new methods of political propaganda.

New York Evening Sun. It is estimated that the wheat crop of the United States for the present year will be almost 600,000,000 bushels and that 200,000,000 bushels of this will go to Europe. One New York bank shipped West over it,ooo,‘WO the other day to be used in moving wheat, and similar shipments will probably occur from day to day throughout the season. It will all come back again by and by with a generous fruitage of interest. An ordinary freight car will hold one thousand bushels of wheat. It will require five hundred thousand cars to move the present crop. Coupled together in a single train they would reach from New York almost to San Francisco. A ileet of 1,600 ordinary grain-carrying vessels will he hardly enough to transport to Europe the part of the crop that will be exported. If the Erie canal gets only its usual share of the graincarrying business ten thousand canal boats will be filled with wheat, enough to make a tow half as long as the canal itself. If we put the figures in the form of dollars and cents the array is even mors si l iking. Half a'biilion bushels of wheat at 80 cents per bushel—the average price that the farmer is receiving—means $400,000,0)0. Four hundred millions to be expended in lifting mortgages, paying labor, buying food and clothing and agricultural implements is itself a powerful spur to prosperity. But this is not ail To convey the grain to the Atlantic seaboard costs about 2D cents per bushel. On the portion of the crop which must be moved half across the continent thi9 will mean tens of millions of dollars for the railways and elevators, lake vessels and canal boats and for the commission man and laborer. The sacks that are thrown out by the great harvesters are gathered up in wagons and driven off to the nearest railway station, where they are dumped into grain ears or small storage warehouses. A grain car is an ordinary box car fitted with an insider partition and extra door of planking that can be let down, making the car perfectly tight. The cars from the various branch lines are hurried off as soon as loaded to one of the great transfer stations, of which Kansas City and Duluth are perhaps the largest. There it is turned over to the big trunk lines or lake vessels for the next stage of the journey. The extraordinary demand for wheat in the Eastern markets has led to an unusual state of affairs in Kansas City and other Western shipping points during the past few weeks. The grain has been required for shipment as fast as it came in, so that it has not been allowed to lie in the elevators at all. It has been found, however, that the easiest way to transfer it is to run It through the elevators. Accordingly, the cars from local points are run in on one side of the ’elevator, and cars, or in Duluth the boats, for the East on the other. One leg of the telescopic chute with its endless belt of cups is let down on the receiving side, and the grain is hoisted up to the lofty roof of the elevator and rushes down on the opposite side w ithout pausing a moment in the transfer. Th'e elevator men have thus been able still to collect their toll of Vs cent per bushel for transferring the grain. There are two great wheat routes from the West to the Atlantic seaboard. One is a water route via the great lakes and the Erie canal, and th’e other is a land route via the four great grain carrying trunk lines. The former is the cheaper, and the latter is the more expeditious, and the competition Between the two prevents the prices of transportation from rising to an exorbitant height. The larger part of the grain moved between Duluth and New York city travels by a combination water and land route in big steel freight boats down the lakes to Buffalo, and thence by rail to New York. The lake route from Duluth to Buffalo is 2Vs cents per bushel during the busy season, and as the n’ewer grain ships have a carrying capacity of 160,000 bushels, the business is a profitable one for them. At present there are nearly 700 vessels which are engaged, for a part of the season at least, in carrying w'heat on the lakes. This is more than are employed in moving the export crop across the Atlantic, and, what may seem more surprising, the largest lake vessels are considerably larger than the ordinary ocean craft engaged in the same line of w'ork. The new craft of modern steel construction which have been put on the lakes within the past two seasons are among the finest models of Amer-ican-built merchant vessels.

At Buffalo the grain that is brought down the lakes again passes through the elevators for reshipment to New York and Boston. Its fortunate position has made Buffalo on’e of the greatest grain ports in the world. Two new elevators, which are now in process of completion there, are the largest in the world, and embody many new and interesting arrangem’ents for the handling and storag'e of grain. The larger of these is the Great Northern elevator, which will have a capacity when completed of 3,000,000 bushels. The other will be known as the electric elevator, and is being built for a capacity of 1.000,000 bushels, with the probability of enlargement to 2.000.000. From Buffalo the wheat travels eastward again by canal and rail. The railway rate between Buffalo and New York is 5 cents per bushel, and is held steadily at that price by the Joint Traffic Association. For several years there has been a tierce rivalry between the canal and the railways, and in 1895, when the project of devoting $9,000,000 to the improvement of the canal was before the voters of New York, the Traffic Association put down the price of transportation cents per bushel, in order to show the uselessness of the “state ditch." as it is irreverently called. In that year the canal carried only 14.009,000 bushels, while the railways brought 72.000,000 to New York. The canal men hope that with the improvement now being made on their highway and the possibility of bringing grain ail the way down the lakes in steel canal boats, they may regain some of their former prestige. At the seaboard the grain is weighed, inspected and graded and takes its final transfer to the ocean vessels. In New York harbor this transfer does not take place directly, but is made by means of barges. The cars containing the grain are run into the elevators; again the leg of a long chute is let down into the car and the iron cups carry the grain in a steady stream forty, fifty or sixty feet to the top of the buildingl where it passes under the eyes of the weighers and inspectors. Wheat is graded according to its weight per Winchester bushel. The hopper bins have a certain capacity in bushels. The weigher sets his scales at the mark required of No. 1 or No. 2. according to the grade to which the wheat is supposed to belong, and when the bar lifts he moves a lever and lets the grain run out into the bin prepared for that particular grade. From the bottoms of these scale bins streams of wheat run into another set of weighing bins, and thence into the barges that lie alongside the elevator. These barges are then towed alongside the ocean steamships which are to carry the grain to its destination. Here another elevator, this time a floating one, i >• ks up the grain, passes it along to another set of weighing scales and thence into the ship’s hold. The numerous weighings to which the grain s subjected act as a safeguard for the different companies, as any discrepancy greater than 1 per cent, lost in dust and in the process of handling would require an explanation, and would indicate that somebody had made a mistake.

CROWDS AT PLAINFIELD * OVER 10,000 PEOPLE AT FRIENDS’ YEARLY MEETING ON SUNDAY. Services In the Rig Tent, in the Home on the Campus and at the State Reform School for Boys. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. * 1,a1.\ t iLLD, ind., Sept. 18.— To-day wa s a record-breaker for the Friends’ Western Yearly Meeting, both as regards weather and attendance. The trains brought in unusual crowds and from early morning till afternoon every road leading into the town was lined with buggies, carriages, wagons and bicycles. The attendance was variously estimated from 10,000 to 12,W)0. Services were held at the tent at 8 o’clock, conducted by Chas. Hiatt, of Fairmount, on the revival order, followed at 10 o’clock by services in the house, on the campus and at the tent. These were all well attended and much good was done. In the house Rev. Charles Jones, of Massachusetts, gave a clear, strdng doctrinal discourse that was the occasion of much favorable comment. At the tent Rev. Levi Rees, of lowa, preached on “the fact, the method and the office of the Holy Spirit.’’ The Christian Endeavorers had charge of the campus service. In answer to the request of Superintendent Charlton, of the State Reform School for Boys, Irena Hunnicutt, of Ohio, Emily Ellis, of Kokomo, and Jackson L. Jessup, of Illinois, preached to the boys this morning. Services were held there also this afternoon by Chas. H. Jones and wife, of Massachusetts; Flora Holliday and Chas. H. Stalker. Services were held also this afternoon in the house, on the campus and at the tent. To-night-one meeting only was held, and that in the house, addressed by Hannah P. Jessup and others. The Christian- Endeavor meeting last night was a large one and much interest was manifested. The statistics show an increase in societies and membership. Rev. Howard Brown was reappointed superintendent, but resigned to enter the evangelistic field. A committee was appointed to select another to fill the vacancy. Rev. Appleby, of North Indianapolis, and Binford, ford, of Richmond, who were to speak at the meeting, were both absent, but the time was well occupied by Rev. Levi Rees, formerly pastor of the Friends’ Church in Indianapolis, but now at Oskaloosa, la. He gave an address of great force on “Loyalty.” He eulogized the mission of the Friends’ Church, and urged all to be loyal, first to God, second, to Jesus Christ, third, to the Holy Spirit, fourth, to the church, and fifth, to one another. He boldly attacked some of the tendencies to materialism, humanitarianism and higher criticism, giving the true doctrine as taught by the church, backed up by the Bible. To-morrow the real condition of the church will be placed in review and tomorrow night there will be a public temperance meeting, addressed by S. E Nicholson, Chas Jessup and others.

AMERICAN PILGRIMS. When They Go to Europe They Are Much Occupied with the Dead. Harriet Monroe, in Leslie’s Weekly. In his own country the American loves life better than death. Rarely does he step out of his path to visit the tomb of Washington or Lincoln, of Emerson or Hawthorne, of Morse or Fulton or any other benefactor of his race, while he will run in crowds to a baseball match or a fire. But no sooner does he cross the ocean than he becomes engrossed with the dead, and tombs are his places of pilgrimage. One might wager with confidence that more Americans than Englishmen visit Westminster Abbey each year to offer up irrelevant emotions; and Stratford-on-Avon has become a kind of shifting American colony, in which everything, even the price marks in shop windows, accommodate themselves to the prejudices of the foreign population. I did not intend to visit Stratford because of a heretical dissatisfaction with tombs. The flowery, undesignated graves of the common people please me w'ell or the tombs of those who were fortunate enough to die tw r o or three centuries ago, when the simplest little headstone was a thing of beauty. Also I like the Gothic tombs in which kings and nobles were laid beneath cathedral altars. From Edward the Confessor to Elizabeth the monarchs of England are royal still in their royal house of Westminster. Knights, bishops, saints, great ladies rest in noble tombs at many altars; and many a tomb has deserved to survive the poor dust it inclosed and pass down through the ages the challenge of beauty to death. But few of the poets have been appropriately inurned. To visit the tomb of a poet is a risk so reckless that one scarcely dares deliberately accept it. Even the poets’ corner at Westminster—that crush of monuments in decadent renaissance defacing the line old Gothic lines, that discordant chorus of epitaphs in which the nobodies talk the loudest—even this is not fitting for a poet’s grave. On the whole, the tomb of Gower in St. Savior's Church, Southwark, impressed me as the most unquestionable success of all the poets’ tombs which I have visited. Manifestly the pragmatical old versifier was a great man in his day. There he lies in state on his carved sarcophagus in all the pomp of a painted effigy, his hands praying on his breast, his head pillowed upon his three big books, ceremoniously awaiting the last trump in that fine old church across the Thames, of which he, five centuries ago, was one of the most important parishioners. But Stratford. The entire town on the Avon is little more than the tomb of Shakspeare, and its people iivo upon his "memory in a practical, worldly way which puts to scorn the fine sentiment of traveling worshipers. It was in vain to oppose my vague intentions against the universal pilgrimage; the pleading of compatriots, the shocked eyes of friends, the countless influences in the air. combined with the wiles of railroads to lure me into the beaten path. One beautiful sunny morning I found myself alighting at the Stratford station and noting the reverend crowd which accompanied me into the village street—faces prepared for emotion and eager for awe. And truly it was a day full of emotions; not always of the kind T was looking for, but always sufficient exciting. The first took possession of me at the fountain presented by “an American citizen, George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, to the town of Shakespeare, in the jubilee year of Queen Victoria.” This expression of international amenities was a little too suggestive of the style which a Chicago architect once called “Victorian cathartic” to be altogether in harmony with an Elizabethan mood. Seeking solace in the inscriptions, I read this line from Washington Irving: “Ten thousand honors and blessings on the bard who has gilded the dull realities of life with innocent illusions.” Was it possible that ou.r amiable and clever Addisonian had ever uttered so banal a word as that? And among all the praises which American voices have offered up to Shakspeare, could nothing more adequate he found to carve upon a public monument? I wondered if the wise Shakspeare would not smile at the sentimentality which can characterize the realities of life as dull, and wish to gild the marble face of truth with “innocent illusions.” THE POPE’S LONG LEASE OF LIFE. No Spirit of Anticipation at the Vatican— Armugemeiit* for 1000. Rome Dispatch in Pall Mall Gazette. “What is the news?” I asked of an eminent personage of the Vatican. "Nothing whatever.” was his reply, with an expressive gesture; “if you want to be correct in your statements about the Vatican, you must say and impress upon people that at present there is complete stagnation in everything. No initiative, no projects, no changes—nothing." "What does this mean?” 1 asked, surprised. “It means that no one. high or low, wishes to undertake anything new, as the real great and radical change may come at any moment, and all fear to find themselves th*- mainsprings of some enterprise which might be displeasing to anew Pope.” When one thinks that it is for almost tw'onty years that the death of Leo XJ.H

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY. A Punitive Care for Dyspepsia. This may read as though we were putting it a little strong because it is generally thought by the majority of people that dyspepsia in its chronic form is Incurable, or practically so. But we have long since showed that dyspepsia is curable, nor is it such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves or going to opposite extremes or else deluging the already overburdened stomach with “bitters.” "after dinner pills,” etc., which invariably increase the difficulty even if in some cases they do give a slight temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained. Tiiis is the great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a comparatively new remedy, but its success and popularity leaves no doubt as to its merits. The Tablets will digest the food anyway, regardless of condition of stomach. The sufferer from dyspepsia, according to directions, is to eat an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal, and the result will be that the food will be digested, no matter how bad your dyspepsia may be, because, as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is w holly Inactive. To illustrate our meaning plainly, if you take 1,800 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place it in a temperature of nine-ty-eight degrees and put with it one of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was inclosed within the stomach. The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets w'ill perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will bo properly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stomach w'ill be given to some extent a much-needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of the many remedies advertised to cure dyspepsia none of them has given so complete and general satisfaction as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and not least in importance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money. A little book on cause and cure of stomach trouble sent free by addressing Stuart Cos., Marshall, Mich.

has been expected from one day to another. In the last conclave, in fact, one of the arguments put forth by the supporters of Pecci’s candidature was Just that he, being so old and in such bad health, could not live very long. Cardinal Bartolini, Pecci’s chief partisan, persuaded the four Spanish cardinals not to vote for Cardinal Franchl, because he was too young, and there would be time enough for him to be raised to the papacy after Leo’s death. Instead—it seems almost the irony of fate—Leo still lives, and Franchl died five months after the conclave, on July 31, 1878. Now there only remain three of the sixty cardinals who elected Pecci to the chair of Peter. It is easy to conceive what diasappointment a Pope who lives too long may be to some members of the Sacred College, and of course these sentiments cannot be unknown to the Pope himself, and cannot be very agreeable. The same thing has happened, however, to every Pope who has lived to a good age and has had a long reign. Pius IX, who reigned as Pope for thirtyone years, seven months and twenty-two days, must in his latter days have become accustomed to the sensation of hearing his own death and his successor discussed. Leo XIII will have the dubious pleasure for some time to come, as, according to his personal doctor, he will, in the ordinary course of events, see the twentieth century; and one may say that he himself is convinced of this, as he is to inaugurate on a large and solemn scale throughout Christendom a series of religious services as thank-offering at the close of this century, and as a welcome to the opening of the next. Cardinal Jacobini, ex-nuncio at Lisbon, speaking on the subject, said that the Pope, in so doing, intends to consecrate the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century by an extraordinary convocation of divine assistance for the promotion of peace and concord in the century to come. BRYAN GROWING OLD. -... 1 t Signs of Premature Hreakdown of the Nebraska Orator. Lincoln Dispatch to New York Sun. One of the topics of discussion at the reoent gathering of the Nebraska Popocrats in this city was the changed appearance of William Jennings Bryan. Eastern people who looked last summer upon the candidate of the Popocrats for President before he began the grand tour would r.ot know him at first sight now. Last November when he came home from his long campaigning tour on election day there was a strained look upon his face. When the Sun correspondent met him on election night at his home his face had the tense, drawn appearance of one suffering from a gTeat physical and mental strain. His voice was husky almost to a whispVr. His eyes had lost their characteristic sparkle and were dull and dimmed. There were great puffs under each and his chveks were sunken and gaunt. It was just when the first telegrams were being received that told how Chicago and the Central West had surely gone against nim, and, though ho showed no greater interest in the returns than the correspondents who thronged his library, thvre was a look upon his countenance that told of a last hope gone. He looked an old man that night. To-day he looks even older. The face has rounded out again, but there is a greater tendency of flabbiness about the flesh of the chin and cheeks, and new creases give the effect of age to the countenance. His black, bushy hair is worn much longer and shows an increasing number of gray strands. The small bald spot on the crown has grown much wider and gives added effect to the impression of agU. Perhaps the greatest change of all is in his voice. When he returned to Lincoln last fall it was but a shadow of its former self. At the Chicago convention its musical charm and carrying ability enabled him to hypnotize the delegates Into making him their nominee for President, but the great strain he put upon it during the campaign and his disregard of the advice of tne New York specialist who treated him while there on his first visit have ruined much of its attractiveness and robbed it of a noticeable amount of timbre. Its musical tones were its chief charm. Now' these appear only at intervals in his speeches. His voice is now metallic and at times harsh. His friends say. too. that his nervous system has not fully recovered its tone. He says that he is well and feels no evil effect from a two-hours’ speech in the open air; that his weight has increased from 170 in November to about 210 now. Physically he believes himself to be able to stand a great strain, but few who have seen, him of late believe him capable of repeating even in part his campaign of last year. Mr. Bryan is far from being a broken man, but the strain he placed upon his physique and his mental faculties last summer and fall cost him ten years in looks and strength. /fk NATIONAL ||fjk Tube Works Wrought-iron Pipe for Gas, Steam and Water. holler Tube*.
