afftcted by corosion than any other money metal, it is now and will continue to be the standard of value in the chief nations of thte world. Silver will bo largely used in all countries for minor coins, and if limited in amount and r-deemed at its coinage value or made a legal tender for limited sums, it will be largely absorbed for minor transactions. but its fret coinage for all who demand it would at once make it the sole coin it; circulation, prevent the coinage of gold and place our grfat and powerful country, in llnar.cial operations, among the minor and poorer nations of tne world. This is the issue that will largely control the vote of Ohio next week. M’K IN LEY DESERVES PRAISE. “Aside from this Important measure, the people of Ohio should bear in mind that one of the most eminent citizens of the State is now President of the United States. He is especially entitled to your kind and considerate favor and deserves praise for the careful selection and appointment of officers of the United States. There has been no abrupt haste in making changes, and while, from the nature of things, he could not appoint all who applied for office, yet the changes he did make met with and deserved the approval of the Republican party. It is impossible for any executive officer charged with the duty of appointment to meet the wishes of all. Many must bo disappointed, but they will all coneede that they have had a fair hearing, for no President could have given applicants more Kindly and patient attention, not- could any President have felt more keenly his inability to comply with the wishes of his friends. •‘As to the issues of the future, I can say, with absolute confidence, that in the future as in the past, the mode of levying duties on imported goods and the free coinage of silver will be the dividing lines of the two groat parties. It may be that the benefits of protection will be so apparent that the South, now already becoming a manufacturing community, and the West, filled with mineral resources of untold value, may be converted to the policy of protecting their nascent indust Ties by tariff law s. And it may be that tho manufacruring industries of the Bast may become so strong as to oppose duties on raw materials, thus reversing their positions. This would be a change of position in the sections, cut the Issue would remain. „ , “As for the ticket that is presented by ihe Republican party, there ought to be no division of opinion among Republicans. Gov. Bushnell has proved to be an able and excellent officer, has performed his duties to the entire satisfaction of the people, has been honest and faithful, and deserves your hearty support. The election of a Legislature in Ohio is always important. Its action more directly affects the peoi leof v.uo than even the action of Congress. The election of a senator of the United States Is involved in the election of a Legislature*. The only Republican candidate who is mentioned is Mark A. Hanna, who is now serving out the remainder of the term to which I had the honor to be elected. His wide experience as a business man; his generous and kindly treatment of his employes; his sound judgment on all public questions of the day ought to secure for him the hearty support of every Republican member of the Legislature. I will, on Tuesday next, providence permitting, go to Mansfield and c.ontribute my vote not only for his election, but for the election of the entire Republican '*<*- VW repecttul^our, iiERMAN ~ W. J. Bryim’s Meetings. CINCINNATI, 0., Oct. 28.—The meetings ©f W. J. Bryan to-day and to-night were at Mount Vernon. Newark and Shawnee and were all largely attended. Mr. Bryan discussed the silver question at ell his meetings and also reviewed the records of President McKinley and Senator Hanna. He said the first six months of the McKinley administration were the most disastrous in the history of the country. He charged Senator Hanna with hostility to labor interests and also with being the chief‘conspirator in the presidential campaign of last year when the result was due to the twin agents of fraud and coercion and traceable to the money powers of this and other countries. He said: “The gold standard was conceived in avarice, fastened upon the people by stealth, cont nued by fraud and its high priest was Hanna.’’ Mr, Bryan warned his hearer? against fraud in Ohio. He said the Derrrberats got as many votes in Ohio last November as expected, but tho Republicans got many more than there was any reason ter expect. Reception to Mark Hanna. CINCINNATI, 0., Oct. 28—Senator Marcus A. Hanna was tendered a reception to-day noon by the Chamber of Commerce and in the afternoon given a public reception at the St. Nicholas Hotel. He w r as banqueted to-night by the Republican committee. All of tho Republican clubs of the city turned out to-night to escort Senators Hanna and Burrows to Music Hall, where they addressed a large meeting. The seating capacity of the hall is five thousand. The standing room was all occupied and a large outside overflow meeting w r as addressed by local speakers. The parade of clubs was one of the largest ever seen here and the demonstration was unusually enthusiastic. Thomas McDougall, the intimate friend of President McKinley, presided, and in introducing Senator Hanna > eulogized him as the great organizer and of Republican principles. Senator Hernia expressed himself as highly satisfied with the situation in Ohio and especially with the interest manifested at tire close of the canvass 'n Cincinnati.

GORMAN’S STRUGGLE. The Maryland Bom< MnfcinK the Grcalet Effort of 111 m Life. BALTIMORE. Oct. 28.—Senator Gorman yesterday took personal charge of his campaign and went to work with an energy born of desperation. From now until the eve of election he will be almost constantly a.t headquarters directing the work of his lieutenants. He is as cool and confident as ever. lie says the party lines are tightly drawn; that nearly all the Democrats ■who bolted two years ago have returned to the fold, and he counts on the Legislature being Democratic on joint ballot. The senator, however, realizes that it is the fight of his life and that the odds ere against him. During the hist week he has been flooding the counties of Marfyland with all kinds of documents, sealed and directed personally to those qualified to cast votes. The mails from Washington have been laden down by Air. Gorman's "missives of mercy." One day there were 126 sacks of "franked” mail matter sent out from the "Washington postoftice by Senator Gorman. The sacks were large ones and each of them contained probably 100 volumes, which would make a total of 12,500 books sent forth. Each of these was nicely wrapped and scaled, and each was addressed to somebody in one of the Alaryland counties. Large quantities of the literature were cent to the various coutity seats, but the small postofficos were not neglected and they received their full share. For once in his life Senator Gorman undoubtedly remembered his constituents. And the end is not yet From the postoffice Mr. Gorman has had sent to him three boxes of blanks, which, when pasted upon a letter or a package and stamped with his signature, entitle the matter to free transportation through the mails. Each of these boxes is about ten inches square, and the blanks being about the size of a postal card printed upon thin paper, it may be imagined how many blanks the boxes contain. The Democrats also seem to have barrels of money. There has not been so much boodle in a Maryland campaign for years. The money is being used largely in paying negroes in the counties from $2 to $5 each to stay away from the polls on election day. She Bribes Voters with Cigars. TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 28.-The Populist candidate for registrar of deeds in Stanton county concedes his overwhelming defeat. It is because his Republican opponent, Allss Anna B, Dodd, a popular young woman, has adopted practical measures for securing votes. Miss Dodd is now canvassing that sparsely settled county on horseback, going on the ranches, among the cattlemen and cowboys ami personally appealing for t'nelr votes. She carries in an old-fashioned pair of saddlebags a supply of cigars, which she distributes freely. Opposed to Free Alcohol. CHICAGO. Oct. 28.—The special congressional committee resumed its inquiry into the use of alcohol in the arts and the manufactures to-day.

He claimed the forty thousand druggists in the United States would be compelled to keep separate establishments for the sale of taxed alcohol and free alcohol and the government would be compelled to expend millions a year in watching and supervising the druggists. Ocher witnesses contended that untaxed alcohol would be an Incentive for establishment of a legion of bar pharmacists. 'The Poluriu Floated. CAPE HENRY. Va..

WRECK ON THE L. E. & W. # ENGINE AND BAGGAGE WEST OVER A THIRTY-FOOT EMBANKMENT. .

KOKOMO, lnd., Oct. 28.—The admission of pugilist Bob Fitzsimmons to the Order of Elks on the occasion of his visit to Marion this week will raise a big disturbance in. that order, which, In fact, has already commenced. On the evening of the initiation Marion Lodge telegraphed to District Deputy A. B. Armstrong, of Kokomo, asking his consent to the proposed action. Mr. Armstrong immediately telegraphed back not to admit Fitzsimmons under any conditions, that it was in direct violation of the rules of the order. Paying no attention to the order of the district deputy, the lodge went ahead and initiated Fitzsimmons. Mr. Armstrong, who has jurisdiction and full authority over the Order of Elks in Indiana, will go to Marion Friday and demand the immediate ousting of the offensive member. In case the Marion Lodge declines to expel Fitzsimmons. Mr. Armstrong will declare the lodge charter revoked. The deputy is strictly in earnest in the matter, and either Fitzsimmons or the lodge will be suspended at once. Aside from the violation of tiie rules and principles of tho ordeT in admitting men of Fitzsimmons’s character, Mr. Armstrong says the Marion lodge had no jurisdiction, the applicant being a resident of New York, that the Marion lodge had no right to admit him without the consent of the lodge at his home. . MANUFACTURERS EXPOSED. President Burns Charges Them with Helping Maintain a Strike. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, lnd., Oct. 28.—President Simon Burns, of the National Window Glass Workers’ Association, to-day announced that he had positive proof that the manufacturers were paying the striking ffatteners and cutters to continue the fight against the gatherers and blowers in order to defeat the scale presented by the latter and force the signing of the manufacturers’ scale, which only allows an advance of 13 per cent., while that of the workers provides for 19 per cent. Bums says the manufacturers will fight In vain, as none of the gatherers and blowers will sign their scale, which includes the hated quality list. Another heated fight is now in progress between the cutters and flatteners and gat her era and blowers over the $50,000 borrowed from the association by Chambers & Cos. The loan has been recalled, and the cutters and flatteners are fighting fiercely to have the money paid into court and not back to the national association.

LOGANSPORT, lnd., Oct. 28.—Ever since the State National Bank failure the stockholders of the old bank have been looking around, in an attempt to discover what John F. Johnson did with the half million dollars that slipped so easily through his fingers. As an outcome of this, a suit was filed today against J. T. MeNary and John F. Johnson, alleging a partnership in a realestate deal and demanding judgment for $25,000. J. T. MeNary is the ow ner of Maple Grove addition to Logansport, and tho complaint alleges that in laying out that addition there were overdrafts, which were afterward taken up by a note, for $15,000, which the bank held at the time of the failure.

V SUMMITVILLE, lnd., Oct. 28.—The Union Traction Company, now building a streetrailway line between Anderson and Alexandra. has concluded to extend the line north to this place and will put a force of men and teams at work here this week.

The festival here partakes of the nature of a mardi gras. All young people attire themselves in mask costumes, many fine and many ludicrous, and parade the streets. There are many features to add to the entertainment. In the past women who have a desire to don men’s attire and parade the streets have seized this opportunity. On several Hallowe’en eves in the past the streets around in the business sections have been so crowded that people could not gel. along with comfort. Jury Hit#* lUnkrr'N Cate.

Curtis and New' York correspondents that the formation of a wire trust is about accomplished.

BLOW TO THE WABASH. Important Legal Documents Destroyed lu tlie St. Louis Fire. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 28.—Not until to-morrow will the sufferers by yesterday’s fire in the Wabash building be able to approximate with any degree of exactitude the total loss sustained. A rough estimate made to-day puts the total at $300,000, divided as follows: To the Wabash building, owned by Robert S. Brookings, $200,000, insured for $125,000; to the Wabash Railroad Company, $75,0JO A partially insured; to the adjoining buildings and tenants of the first floor of the Wabash building, $25,000. Some of the records of the auditor’s office were taken from tlie ruins to-day in a sodden condition. Such of these as can be saved w r ere put in a safe place. As yet no headquarters has been secured by the management, the different departments being scattered. Every other railroad in the United States and every steamship line with which the Wabash did business was notified by wire to-day of the big fire. With the notification was sent a request that copies be made of all Wabash correspondence and sent to St. Louis. It is the loss of such correspondence and records, maps, legal documents and other papers dating back thirty-five years whiGh falls so heavily on the railway company. A money valuation cannot be put on them. The railroad, it is understood, had the data and documents in several important lawsuits. This in itself is almost an erretrievable lose. By comparison the railroad officials say tbe loss to the furniture, tickets and books will be insignificant.

Fiequently they are called upon to take charge of important posioffices in cases of defalcation, and when the accounts are in a confused and almost, unintelligible condition. The successful postofflce inspector must not only have the qualifications refeired to above, but he must also be a detective of superior skill, and that many of our inspectors have such ability in a high degree is demonstrated by numerous incidents in the report in full “A vault in the postofflce at a certain college, located in the college library building, was wrecked by explosives on the night of April 6, 1897, and $2,259 was stolen therefrom, indicating the presence of the professional burglar, for whose arrest a liberal reward was offered by the local authorities. But. the inspector’s suspicion, based alone upon the quantity of the explosives used, as evidenced by its disastrous effects, led him to follow the theory that it was the work ot novices, and in pursuit of this line of thought a quiet Investigation months later developed that a seventeen-year-old son of the aged postmaster, who was also secretary of the college, and who was well known for his own sterling honesty and integrity, was indulging in expenditures far beyond his means, such as the purchase Tff diamond rings, etc., and that, since the closing of the school he had been sending numerous express packages to a chum in a distant city, whose association had also brought him under suspicion. When confronted with these circumstances and flatly accused, the boy strenuously denied ail knowledge of the crime, and successfully withstood a ‘sweating’ process of two hours* duration in a manner hardly to have been expected Trom one of his years; but he immediately availed himself of the opportunity to convey a note of warning to his partner (which opportunity the inspector considerately afforded him by a temporary release), and was neatly trapped by an interception of his communication, which resulted in bringing the boys together and in obtaining a complete confession from each, and also in the recovery of $1,565 of the stolen money. The robbery was planned and executed by these two lads as follows; The safe was unlocked by the postmaster’s son, w’ho knew the combination, and who v/ithdrew the money, after which the other placed a stick of dynamite on the lock behind the vault door, which he closed, lighted the fuse, and fled before the explosion occurred, which gave the job a professional aspect, and which later was the cause of the arrest of two notorious ‘safe blowers’ by private detectives, who sought to connect them with the burglary'. This crime, which destroyed the happiness of two of the most respectable families in the State, seems all the more strange on account of the utter lack of an actuating motive to prompt the deed, as the participants were college associates, bearing good reputations at home and abroad, and who were furnished with ample means for all their needs by indulgent parents. A NOTED GANG OF SWINDLERS.

“The above refers to the robbery of a postofflce, but the duties of an inspector are not alone confined to this class of criminals. The purpose of the criminal may be to swdndle a citizen in a mercantile transaction or a business enterprise, and if he uses the mails in consummating his design it comes within the scope of the inspector’s duty to apprehend him in his purpose. This is illustrated by the suppression of a band of a dozen Polish Jews, known as the ‘Yarowsky Gang,’ who had successfully conducted a big swindling scheme in western Pennsylvania since 1889, resulting in very extensive losses to the wholesale merchants and manufacturers of the North and East, by a Philadelphia inspector whose attention W'as attracted to these parties by their illegal employment of the United States mails in the transaction of a fraudulent business. The carefully planned methods and the systematic execution of the work of these keen rascals proved them most elusive individuals. The leaders of the gang were Charles, Harry and Abe Yarowsky and Charles Rubinsky, one of whom would, under an assumed name, open a store in a small town, where he would at first pay cash for small orders of goods, and by making false reports to commercial agencies would succeed in obtaining a satisfactory business rating as the basis of future operations. Then would rollow an onslaught upon the susceptible victims who filled his numerous orders. While boots and shoes seemed to be their most desirable articles of ‘purchase,’ yet they branched out info wagons, spices, law books, pianos, refrigerators, typewriters and safes, and, in fact neglected no industry which could bo successfully ‘touched. W’hen the goods arrived at the depot they would be immediately reshipped, after obliterating the marks, to some unimportant station, -and there carted to a storehouse in a mountain retreat near Shenandoah, Pa., and would be eventually disposed of through the medium of the Polish Jew peddler. Dunning letters were ignored, and personal visits from creditors were useless, as the party in whose name the business was being conducts could never be found. When closely pressed, and safety demanded seclusion, an instantaneous change of base would occur, the goods in stock would be sold by the sheriff, under judgment confessed to a friend, and the operator would seek greener fields and fresher victims under another name. At Catawissa. Pa., the manager of the business was known as Conrad Herring, at Lykcns as Bernard Wilson, at Nantieoke as Charles Sherman, at Berwick as Harry Miller, at Bloomsburg as John H. Schmidt and at Danville as Bernard Wagner. Much of the convicting evidence which carried these swindlers to the penitentiarv, where Charles Rubinsky died, was secured by the inspector on a midnight trip, -when cautiously following a load of the plunder to its hiding place in the mounta! ‘One of the most successful and probably the most important enterprises in which our inspectors participated during the year was the breaking up and capturing of a band of burglars and bank robbers who had their headquarters atHauover, Kan. During the summer and fall of 18% the indiscriminate robberies of postoffices, depots and banks in the northern counties of RanSets and the southern section of Nebraska were of such frequent occurrence as to keep the law-abiding portion of those communities in a state of perpetual excitement and ter-or. It was plain that the region was infested with an organized gang of burglars. A detail from the inspectors’ force was directed to co-operate with a special agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company and the state authorities In a united effort to locate the depredators and place them behind the bars. Instructions were given to secure their apprehension if possible, and to assist in their prosecution* for the commission of any offense for which thev could be held, whether for postofflce robbery or not. At Hanover, Kan A. A. Baird, alias ‘Big Al,‘ R. J. Fuller and Fred Whitling were arrested for robbing a bank at Davenport, Neb., on Nov. 13. “Fuller is an all-round crook: Baird, whose real name is Connolly, served a. term in the Sioux Falls penitentiary under the name of Arthur Inman, for the robbery of the postofflce at Wentworth, S. D., while Whitling. the captain of the gang, is a saloon keeper and a ‘fence’ at Hanover, hts ‘dive’ being the easy resort and haven of refuge for such characters as Baird and Fuller. ’Syracuse Slim.’ ‘Jimmie’ Burns and ‘St. Louis Sam’ and other noted criminals of record. Tt is stated that it was not a very uncommon occurrence to see from twenty-five to thirty crooks in Hanover at one time, when it was th<dr practice to take their plunder over to St. Joe and Grand Island roundhouse and there dispose of it by sale to certain citizens of the village. Jim Burns and ’St. Louis Sam’ were subsequently arrested for different offenses when the former was recognized as one of the men who murdered Nick Yager, late marshal at Table Rock. Neb., while attempting the arrest of Burns and a companion in the early summer, for which crime Burns Is now serving a sixyear sentence. Ail of the parties named, with a single exception, have been tried, convicted, sentenced and Imprisoned for long terms by the state courts, and it is probable that two or more of them can be indicted for the robberies of the postofflees a,t Hoilenberg and Belleville, Kan., and Hebron. Neb. The Importance of this work is easily seen in the fact that not a single postofflce robbery in this territory was reported for months after these arrests, while they had previously averaged two a week. THE LARA WAY CASE. “Probably no arrest and conviction during the year Illustrates more perfectly the patience, perseverence and skill of our postoffice Inspectors In protecting the mail from depredations than that of Henry Laraway.

Apollinaris (“THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS”) BEWARE OF SUBSTITUTIONS.

who was not an employe of the postal service, but of the Grand Trunk Railway Company. His depredations were particularly embarrassing to the government, however, as they were confined to the CanadianAmerican mail, to which he had easy access at the depot in Detroit, when in his care at night while waiting to make connection with the Western trains. His method was to rip open the canvas mail bag. and extract packages of letters therefrom, then sew the rent, and send the bag on to its destination. In this way the pouch was never missing, and only a part of the contents failed to arrive as addressed, which made it very difficult to locate the thief: for the depredations might have occurred at either the mailing or distributing office in Canada, on the Canadian mail trains, at the transfer office at Detroit, on the American postal cars, or at the office of destination. It was a most perplexing case to unravel, for the ripping of the seams and the resewing were very deftly done, and would escape any but the most minute inspection. After many plans had been formed, many experiments made, and many theories exhausted as to the source of these depredations, which had occasioned months of hard work, mental anxiety and worry to the inspectors, and an immeasurable amount of trouble, inconvenience and business complications to the general public and the banking institutions of this country nr.d Canada, it was discovered one day. w'hen a Canadian bag arrived, that it had been repaired in one of its seams with a yellow thread, quite unlike the kind with which the bag was originally sewed. It w r as ascertained that no such thread was used at the repair shops, and a close examination showed that the rip was large enough to admit the passage of a package of letters. This slender clew was followed diligently, but It was weeks before the case was brought to a successful termination. Postal clerks were tested and watched; in both Detroit and Chicago were kept under close espionage. The mail bags were shadowed from the time they w r ere unloaded from the car in Chicago until they were delivered in the Chicago postoffice, and were most closely examined after received. In the meantime the inspector, who wms watching with equal anxiety and vigilance at Detroit, became satisfied that Laraway was causing the trouble, as a quiet search of his room, and of the clothing therein revealed the presence of small ravelings of yellow thread; and the remainder of the w r ork was simply a question of time and patience. A hole was bored in the floor of the mailroom, under which the inspector crawled and watched. His efforts w r ere at last rewarded by plainly seeing Laraway commit the theft as before recited; and it was well that his evidence was direct rather than circumstantial. and that there was not the slightest slip in the chain, for the case w'as most bitterly fought at the trial, which resulted in Laraway’s conviction.” ARMY AND*NAVY UNION. Ritual gnu By-Laws Adopted for a Women’s Auxiliary. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 28.—T0-day’s session of the eighth annual meeting of the Army end Navy Union of the United States was held in secret Much time was spent in discussing amendments to the constitution of the order. The most important proceeding of the session was an agreement to organize a ladies’ auxiliary in connection with the union and w r ith this end in view a ritual and by-laws were adopted for the women’s branch. At the close of the day’s session, resolutions were adopted criticising the press of Chicago for its method of treating passing events at Fort Sheridan. The resolutions recite that newspaper criticisms of alleged brutality in the army create false impressions as to the lot of the common soldier. and declares that he is better treated, bettor fed and better housed than is the soldier of any other nation. Instances of brutality are declare 1 *! to be exceptionally rare. The resolutions seek to inform the public that no wide gulf separates officers and men and that the line of social demarkation is fairly drawm. In conclusion, the resolutions regret the Inclination ot the Chicago newspapeio to “magnify every detail of insubordination at Fort Sheridan, as tending to incite insubordination among the less intelligent men of the army.” Detroit, Omaha and Denver are after the next annual meeting, which will convene on the third Monday in November next. Statement from J. B. Norton. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Past National Commander J. B. Norton, of the Regular Army and Navy Union, is stirred up by the action of the union yesterday, in session at Kansas City, in expelling him and revoking the charter of John M. Schofield Garrison. In a letter published by him today he says: “Schofield Garrison, with a number of others in the union, have for some time since ceased to acknowledge the authority of a body and its officers that has no legal existence and having failed to call the convention on the* third Monday in May, 1897, as directed by the constitution, they naturally died. Comrade Drennan and myself are too well known in the Army and Navy Union to let any action of this pseudo convention have any weight with the wellmeaning interested in this matter. Schofield Garrison will soon have a charter under the act of Congress approved March 3, 1897, and then all the present garrisons of the union will be Invited to join the Regular Army and Navy Union.”

HALLOWE'EN TRADITIONS. Many Superstitions* That Descended from the Orient. New York Tribune. As golden October brings Its splendors to a close thoughts of Hallowe’en flit through the mind of youth and the romantic maiden dreams of the future while she plans the trying of diverse spells and charms on the fateful night of , Oct. 31. That is the time when all the Spirits are supposed to be abroad and are thought by the superstitious to have power over their friends and relatives still in the flesh. Back in the dim recesses of the past are found the traditions of Hallowe’en, half hidden under the cobwebs of paganism and mystery. The quaint rites and observances are relics of semi-barbarism, for writers of antiquity trace the festival even into the shades of the dusky Orient. Greeks, Romans and Druids observed Hallowe’en with peculiar solemnity, and All Hallow’s day (Nov. 1) is probably from the Anglo-Saxon word haligan, meaning holy. The Druids believed in the transmigration of souls, and, according to their teaching, every year, on Hallowe’en, the Lord of Death, called Saman, brought together for final judgment the souls that had been living in the bodies of the lower animals during the preceding twelve months. But by offering sacrifices, magic charms and propitiations the living had it in their power to greatly lessen the punishment of wicked souls, and it became the custom to make presents to the priests that these holy fathers might be induced to intercede for the unfortunates. Fatted calves and black sheep were the customary sacrifices, and long before the institution of All Souls’ day the ancient Irish used to kneel to Saman In front of lighted candles, beseeching him for the souls of their departed relatives. Among the Romans there was a custom of lighting fires upon the neighboring hills on Hallowe'en, fire being an emblem of immortality, fitly calculated to typify the ascent of the soul into heaven. Some thought the brilliancy of the flames lighted the redeemed souls out of purgatory and showed them the glory of the upward path to the shining “White City of Saints. In northern Wales there is a peculiar custom of making a great fire called “Coel Certh,” from which each family In the neighborhood takes a brand or coal and starts a bonfire In an open space near the house. When the fire has burned down to a bed of glowing embers, every member of the family throws in a smooth, white, water-w'orn stone, having first carefully marked It with a sharp-pointed instrument. Each person w'alks slowly around the fire once, repeating his prayers, then he returns silently to the house, undresses without speaking, and goes to bed. In the morning, as soon as the family is up and dressed, the members go out and search in the pale ashes for the stones. If any one of them is missing, it is believed that the person to whom it belonged will die before the next All Saints’ eve. Sometimes the ancient, uncouth Saxons baked a large cake made of wheat, oat or rye flour, wet with water upon which the full, silvery light of the October moon had fallen and left a mystic tint and property. A pinch of coarse salt and a few drops of apple juice were dropped into the flour as it was being made inio dough, and the cake was set to bake in a rude oven covered with glowing coals. Before it was perfectly baked it was cut into small triangular bits and distributed in utter silence to each member of the household, who ate it solemnly. without saying a word, and then went to bed. A funny and rather risky fit* was cala-

brated by the early Irish peasantry and consisted of tying a cord to the middle of a small stick on one end of which an apple had been stuck and a lighted candle ornamenting the other. The end of the cord was fastened securely to a beam overhead and the stick was then whirled around, though not so rapidly as to extinguish the candle. Every one had to make a snatch for the apple with his teeth, and if by mishap the flame of the candle instead of the fruit w r as bitten bad luck in every way ensued. THE FIRST THANKSGIVING. A Bit of History Which Is Appropriate ut This Season of the Year. New York Sun. “Incidentally,” remarked the man writh & basket on his arm as he came into the presence of the editor, "I might mention the fact that if you want the finest and fattest turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner, my store is the place to get it; but that is not what I came here for. I came in to bring you an item of interest. You may not know, notwithstanding an editor knows more than anybody else on earth, that the first proclamation of Thanksgiving day that is to be found in printed form is the one issued by Francis Bernard, Captaingeneral and governor-in-chief in and over his Majesty’s province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, and vice admiral of the same, in 1767.” The editor admitted that it had not occurred to him previously. “I’m glad I’m giving you something new',” continued the turkey man, “and now let me read it to you so you may compare it with the modern style. It is headed: —A Proclamation for & Public Thanksgiving.— “ ‘As this business of the year is now drawing tow’ard a conclusion, we are reminded, according to the laudable usage of the Province, to join together in a grateful acknowledgment of the manifold mercies of the Divine Providence conferred upon Us In the passing Year: Wherefore.

Antliony Hope in Vaudeville. New York Evening Sun. When Mi . Hope made his first appearance m Brooklyn a. short tune ago he was sufferiog from a severe hoarseness. Before he was quarter way through the programme the hoarseness had Increased and the water pitcher on the table was drained dry. The short, stout hut prominent Brooklynite who was doing the honors of the occasion sprang to his feet, his intention being, as all the audience saw, to refill tne pitcher. Mr. Hops saw- it, too, and he at once gave his hand a backward wave, signifying that he didn’t wish to give so much trouble. The only trouble was that he didn’t look where he w<(S waving. What was meant for a polite little gesture, therefore, hit the short, stout but prominent Brooklynite plump in the abdomen, sending him back into his chair, while his heels flew up into the air. It was all over in a minute, of course; the Brooklynite righted himself, Mr. Hope made ample apologies and the reading proceeded Senator Morgan Recovering. 1 SAN DIEGO, Cal., Oct. 2S.—Senator Morgan is slowly regaining his strength.
