party proposes to do," he declared. It propo.cd to lin up lta adherents on the ChlC3zi platform, striking at trust, determined to secure the free and unlimited coln ase of silver at the ritlo of 15 to 1, opposed to the conquest of the Philippine and unalterably at variance with the present administration's territorial and expansion policies. DECLARES FOR FILIPINOS, lie declared that the Democratic party would espouse the cause of the "brown" man of the Philippine- as Lincoln had espoused tho cause of the black man of America. "The great leader" was Introduced by Mr. Jackson. Mr, Bryan had pome difficulty In addressing the audience owing to Its heln; to awkwardly divided on both fides of the platform erected for the occasion. He paid that he intended" speaking only a few moments "for the pake of encourage mnt." as Mr. Jack.on whimpered to a friend. He aid he would "preach" In the afternoon. Mr. Bryan added few new sentiments to his former addresses on silver. He urgfd the farmers and. the "common people" to stand together for mutual protection frdm the moneyed organizations of the country. H said that society was divided Into two t-1 as. the "producers and the nonproduecrs of wealth." The latter, he said, produce the laws; the others make the dollars). He argued that the masses were of the productive class and In the laws of right and equity should likewise produce the laws. But. he said. If a farmer attempts to enter politics he Is driven back by the leaders am advised "to plow." "But the political plow,' he exclaimed. "needs that very hand to guide It. Politics must be examined and studied as a man would study his business, and election day phould be tli busiest day of every man's life." The common people, he thought, should not rely upon the financiers, else they would never "meet the latter at the health resorts." The Democratic party la rot opposed to the accumulation of wealth, ho jald, "but It was opposed to the policy which miggestfd that a man should 'try to eat the bread that another man has tsrned by the nweat of his brow.' We are not the encmks of prouertv secured bv earnest toll: we are the enemies of property obtained by false ami Impecunious laws. Men opposed me In because they knew that I would see to It that the laws' were enforced, that if the laws were not sufficient they would be made o; they did not expose me. as they said, because they feared I would not enforce the law. In the Democratic doctrines all men are created equal, and Justice Is measured out upon that sentiment, liad It not been for desertion and coercion In 18TH the Democratic principles would have won by a million majority. Even as It was the party polled more votes than before In the doubtful States. To-day we can defeat the Republican party on the old platform. .But new Issues have arisen; fird tho Democratic party is big enough to grapple with all the new issues, as well as with the old ones. The trust question is r.ot a new one. Perhaps you did not know II wajin the campaign of . but the trusts uld. The question has grown since '&;, and developed into far more imxortance because of the Increased organization of additional combinations. "What action has the Democratlcparty taken upon the question of imperialism? It has simply gone back to the Declaration of Independence, that the government derives Its Just powers from the consent of the governed. So, when the question arose, all that was necessary was to read over that declaration and then every Democrat found his policy outlined for him. The Republican doctrine." he said. In conclusion, is that the government is thirteen Inches In diameter. Is round and is fired out of a cannon." HIS AFTEHSOOX SPEECH. A Itannlng Account of Mr. Bryan's Utterances. When William Jennings Bryan reached the platform In the afternoon the crowd had Increased. It was estimated that 7.000 people were present on the grounds. But many of them were excursionists who had come for the purpose of visiting Greenfield. They epread their lunches on the ground and patronized the "red" lemonade stands and the cane racks, and apparently forgot the presence of Bryan. Nevertheless, the grandstand and the ground adjacent were occupied by 5,000 people, half of whom were women who suffered the heal In silence to hear the "sliver oracle." Mr. Bryan occupied the entire afternoon, speaking over two hours. Other speakers had been sched- ' uled to address the "reunion," but gave up their time to Mr. Bryan. The Democratic Glee Club, of Elwood, Ind., entertained the crowd until Mr. Bryan appeared. Ills appearance was greeted with cheers, applause and some endeavors to grasp his hand. As soon as the confusion had subsided he began speaking, closing at 5 o'clock.. In substance he spoke as follows: "Now Is the time to consider Dubllc Ques tions, forget that there Is such a thine as political party and only keep before us. In constant remembrance, the good and glory of our country. If events prove or have proven that the Republican party was best for the Nation, then I can forget the disappointment of defeat and rejoice in the advancement and the welfare of my country." DISCUSSES TAXATION. He proceeded at once to the discussion' of taxation In general and the income tax In particular. "The government," he said, "13 so collecting: taxes to-day that the people with the smallest Incomes are paying the largest per cent When we contemplated the adoption of the Income tax in 1S96. I thought that the rich Democrats would re main In the party to see the cause of Jus- . tice advanced and that. If there were desertions, the poor Republicans would recruit the ranks. But I had a different view of the election. I could not understand why Republicans could not discover the merit in an income tax In ls&a. I used to quote from the? opinions of Judges on the Supreme Bench in support of the income-tax sentiment, for I preferred to quote from men who were leaders of the Republican party, and who could not be stigmatized an Anarchist." " In referring to the recent war tax. Mr. Bryan said that the injustice of Its demands was due to the legislation of the Republican party. "The burden of the taxation," he said, "was thrown upon the poor man. The Republican party is putting capital above labor and above manhood in the structure of government.

erll the government can draft the people to

attle for its flag, but it dares not lay a finger on the accumulated wealth of the Nation. Under the policy of the Republican party, the government is ignoring the struggling masses and legislating for the benefit of capital alone. Tle Income tax is not a dead Issue; it Is In the campaign still. I am sanguine enough to believe that the Constitution will eventually be so amended that no Supreme Court can build a bulwark around the wealth of the. land and throw the burden on the shoulders of the struggling masses." The "money question was discussed In a manner that left no doubt of Mr. Bryan's position. "In the same spirit." said he. "that a Republican calls me an Idiot or a lunatic, or an Anarchist, I refer to the "gold-standard man. The sentiment Is not a pleasant one, but It is the species of argument employed by the 'gold bug He uses either contempt or satire, or both. The poldlte papers, even, do not pretend to discus: the questions. They say simply that the question is settled, but I say the question Is not settled. It is asserting Itself day after day. We had the double standard for eighty-one years: for eighty-one years there was no discrimination, by any party, at the mints between gold and silver. 1 do not care what definition Is applied' to that administration of eltchty-one years: it may not be called free coinage, but, I say. call It what you please, but give us a restoration of that period. EMPHATIC ON 15 TO 1. "In 1ZA three parties declared In favor of bimetallism at the ratio of 16 to 1, and 6,r),ooo voters marched to the polls and voted that the question be driven back to England, from whence it came. I had rather have gone down to eternal defeat with those 6,500.000 than to have been elected President with the 7,ono,000 and been obliged to seek aid from English financiers. "Mr. McKlnley's commission went to foreign nations and cried In every mart and market for help to save the Republican party. They went to secure international bimetallism, but that was Impossible, be cause English financiers control the English government and the English government controls the continent of Europe. And the oanjeers or England declared .n favor of a gold standard. The money question Is not dead; It will never die until the vot ers declare their emancipation fiom the yoke of the English financier. Events since tne election of Mr. McKlnley have robbed the Republican arguments of their sting. rour days before the election It was shout ed that all that was necessary for the coun try was a restoration of confidence. And six months after the election more banking and business house failed than failed in the six months of the preceding year. If I rad been elected all this calamity wouM have been charged to me. In fact, things got so tad that s)me people thought I had oeen elected. Laughter. In fact, every argument advanced by the Republicans in the campaign of 1S1 has been answered by the administration itself. Yet they de clare that they will not retreat. Nor will we; our platform was right in 1S96; every plank of it was right, every word of it, and It is right to-day. After arraigning the "bolters" he spoke of the ratio. "It is objected to," he said, "by but two classes. The first Is anxious to anlhllate the Chicago platform and the second does not appreciate, the value or the meaning of that ratio. At this ratio alone can bimetallism be restored, and the Democratic party will not allow those who rescinded its principles In 1S'J6 to define the platform for it in 19U0." On the subject of retiring the greenbacks, Mr. Bryan declared that it was due to the exertion of financiers who desired to see an issue of bonds in their place. The result, he claimed, would be Increased taxation to the common people and a reduction of taxes on the national banks. The banks would receive Interest on the capital Invested and also be permitted the use of the capital. But the Individual would receive the interest alone and his capital would be locked up beyond his reach. "I do not see how any one unless connected with a national bank or who Is a financier can support the scheme. The government, such people assert, should go out of the banking business, but we declare that the banks should go out of the governing' business. HE CONSIDERS TRUSTS. "More trusts have been organized In the last two years than were organized In all the previous history of the Nation. The Republicans cannot defend the trusts. Even the Ohio convention under Mark Hanna had to declare against the trusts. Therefore, the trusts continue to Increase because the Republican party now in power Is not trying to destroy them. The trusts can be put down. The 'President can appoint an attorney general who can prosecute them and recommend a law, if the present one is not sufflclent, to aid in the banishment of the moneyed monopolies. The attorney general, even, can recommend an amendment to the Constitution. But the Republican party does not campaign against the trusts because the trusts helped to place the Republican party in power. While the Republican platforms are denouncing the trusts. Republican papers are quietly explaining the benefits to be derived from the combinations. The monopoly of the indus tries of the country placed in the hands of a few people means an increased distinction and a more definite division between captal and labor." THE EXPANSION POLICY. Mr. Bryan then turned his attention to the discussion of the expansion policy. IIU remarks were Introduced by declaring that 23,000 soldiers were sufficient for the needs of a republic, but that an empire required a hundred thousand. The people again, he said, must shoulder the burden of the increased taxation necessary for the support of such an army. "A war of conquest," ho continued, "la not necessary to spread re ligion. It Is a dangerous doctrine' to bore bullet holes into a man's body to inject re ligious principles. 1 am opposed to forcible Christianity. When you shout the gospel out of a Gatling gun the man who is hit does not need the gospel any more, and thq man who is missed Is too busy burying the dead to pay heed to the tenets of Chris tianity." Then the financial complexion of the doc trine of territorial expansion was referred to. Mr. Bryan declared that expansion could only be supported won the doctrine of spreading Christianity, the financial ad vantages to be gained and tho advancement of the Interests of politics. The financial question, he said, Las thoroughly defined by Secretary Gage s words or "Philanthropy and five per cent." This Nation should not seil its birthright for a mess of pottage, ho declared, referring to the "dollar and cent reason advanced in support of the cclo nial policy." "The white people cannot go to the tropics, and if the rillplnos died to morrow the Americans would not settlo their land. So it is obvious that no great financial benefit is to accrue from the annexation of the Philippines." He referred to India, saying that its statistics of popu latlon for liO years declared against the emigration of the white man to the tropics. that its budget showed that the expense of maintaining an army In the country was far more than the mercantile profits, "ine Philippines'." he declared, "will be a picking ground for syndicates. The expansion mean.i that we shall conquer by force, hold bj lorce, and that the people so held will hatu and despise us. Government can be derived but from two sources, force and consent. Force is the element that establishes monarchies and consent produces republics. According to the Declaration of Independ ence, the cornerstone or our republic, we have neither right to wrest away the Phil ippines from the Filipinos nor right to purchase their government from Spain. It is Inconsistent to arm a people for the pur pose of securing their Independence, and then make them subjects under a republic. whose fundamental declaration is that "all men are created free and equal.' and that the 'government derives its Just powerM from the consent of the governed.' This is the most serious question yet presented for our discussion. We owe the Filipinos ai duty: we made allies of them and we had no risht to buy the title over their land at J2.5 for each inhabitant." Tho administration was then arraigned fcr its) hesitancy In withdrawing at once from the islands when Manila fell and Spain was driven out. "Did our Liberty bell ring In vain?" repeated Mr. Ilryan, after reciting a recent vere. "Must Its tones no more be heard? Was the declaration a He? Mut we turn to the old world again with a prodigal's cry and ask permission to be? counted with the hired servants of royalty? Shall we return to the creed we have repudiated for a hundred years?" Hostilities In the Philippines would at ence cease, Mr. Bryan thought, if the policy adopted in Cuba should be extended to the Pacific. The war, he suIJ, would never hae been fought If the assurance of Independence had been given to the Filipinos. "Iet uj give them Independence; say to ether nation, "hands off.' Then we will be sending school teachers to Manila Instead of armed men. We cannot destroy selfgovernment in the Philippines without injuring self-government in the United State. I hate des-potim. and I love a republic. For a century the policy of our government has lecn that of a republic and not a despotism. And to-day there should be a new statue cf l!bert enlightening the world erected In the harbor of Manila Instead of an American campaign In the l!and of Luzon. The Republicans, " he concluded, "wanted to go to Kngland three years ago for their financisl advl'-e. And they want to go there again to-day for a policy of colonial government and land-grabbing. But we are here to keep the government In the pathway that it has traveled for a full

century, abandoning the poncy 01 migni

and championing the cause 01 nsm aim Justice." THE NIGHT MEETING. Mr. Bryan Waited Till Nearly Train Time Before Speaking. The night meeting was devoid of marked enthusiasm, as the sultry day had driven many followers home, and Just before supper time threatening rain cloud.i dispelled what party spirit might have existed. Around the elevated stand erected on Main street but a wnall number of people applauded the orator of the day when he ascended the platform. Mr. Bryan was not with tho other sneakers. Overmyer. Shlveley and Foley, until neatly train time, as hrt remained at the hotel resting from the day's work and dined alone. His ten-mln ute talk was in the greater part an eulogy on the American "plain people." whom, he sr.id. quoting Lincoln, "the Lord must have loved tecau.e he made so many of them, and it was these people he wished to impress with his IS-tn-l views. He discus.ed Imperialism and made a plea for the people to array themselves asalnst the galllnsr yoke or Hanna. Mr. uryan was preceueu bv B. F. Shlveley in a hort speech, and followed by Michael Foley, of Crawfordsvllle. who was Introduced as the "Bryan of Indiana." There was not at any time a large crowd 'around the stand, and those who did not leave when Bryan did were soon dispersed by Foley. Neither the attendance nor the enthusiasm met the expectations of the managers. The attendance did not equal the attendance Wednesday of the street fair. Mast Drop IO to 1. CHICAGO. July 27.-Mayor David S. Rose, of Milwaukee, has written an open letter on the issues of the Democratic party for 1?00. The epistle is directed to W. W. Meagher, of Chicago, secretary of the National Jeffersonian Democratic League. Mayor Rose says that silver should not be tho dominant Issue, but the trusts, tariff and Imperialism. Touching on the sliver question, the letter. In part, says; "A gold standard Republican Senate stands as an impassable obstruction to any remedial bimetallic legislation, so that nothing can be accomplished in this behalf though we succeed at the rolls. In this connection I cannot refrain from expressing the fear that sniccess in the next campaign would be a misfortune to the cause of bimetallism were that to be made the dominant issue. To succeed we must promise relief, and how can we keep the promise as to 16 to 1 In the face of this certain impossibility?" WJUlunia Not a Candidate. BOSTON, July 27. The Post will say to morrow: "George Fred Williams, now en route to Europe, Is out of the vice presi dential race. A. C. Drlnkwater, chairman of the executive committee of the state com mittee, and William S. McNarry. who has Just returned from New York, where he saw Mr. Williams, both declare that he is not a candidate, never has been and will not be." K0HLSAAT NOT INDORSED. The Judge Thinks One Year of Bank ruptcy Law lu Enough. CHICAGO, July -7. Delegates to the na tional convention on the bankruptcy law concluded their deliberations to-day and ad journed. Before closing the organization was made permanent under the name of the National Association of Receivers in Bankruptcy. The Intention Is to hold an nual conventions. A set of bylaws was adopted In which the object of the associa tion Is said to be to promote the passing of a national bankruptcy law, thereby making bankruptcy proceedings more uniform. W. II. Hotchkiss, In an address, declared tho delegates were strongly opposed to Judge Kohlsaat's suggestion to have tne act repealed within a year. He said: "The ref erees present at this meeting do not entertain the opinion expressed by the Judge on the subject. I hope we will not be called on to ther the opinions expressed by our lntu guest. 1 notice that Judge Kohlsaat did not suggest any substitute for the bankruptcy law. Are we to go back to the old system of preferential payments, to turn property over to wives, relatives and banks?" Several other addresses were made de claring that It would be a mistake to repeal the measure. The speakers favored the act as a permanent Institution and claimed it ougnt not to be aimcuit to secure tne desired amendments. A GIRL POISONER, Wayward Daughter Tries to Get Rid of Entire Family. CARMI, 111., July 27. Walter S. Warthen, his wife, son and married daughter and a nelghbox. Berry Carter, were poisoned on Tuesday. Mrs. Warthen was taken ill dur ing dinner and the others immediately aft erwards. Physicians found evidences of arsenical poisoning. On Wednesday Floyd Warthen. aged fourteen, grew worse and died that night. The married daughter said she noticed the cabbage served for dinner tasted strong, and she did not eat much of it. Suspicion pointed to the daughter as having some knowledge of the crime. A package of arsenic and box of Hough on Rats was found In a clock, with Indications that some of It had been recently used. Sheriff Ackerman to-day summoned the daughter, Mrs. ivy Crabtree, to her uncle's house, where by close questioning he elicited from her a confession that she had put Rough on Rats In the coffee and over the cabbage served at dinner. She seemed sorry over the death of her brother, but showed no feeling but anger when speaking of her father and stepmother. Mrs. Crabtree is but sixteen years old, and has been separated trom her husband about three months, returning to her father's to live. It is said she is a wayward girl, and her father, in endeavoring to restrain her and make her a better woman, has incurred her enmity. PROBABLY LYNCHED. ' ' Fifty Mnnkrd Men Went After Three Mormon Klders. ATLANTA, Ga., July 27. The Constitution has received a special from Its Covington (Ga.) correspondent which says that a mob of fifty masked men made away with three Mormon elders who have been proselyting in Jasper county. The story Is to the effect that the three elders visited the home of William Cunnard, near Newton Factory, Jasper county, yesterday, and endeavored to persuade Mr3. Cunnard to Join the church. While they were at the Cunnard home fifty men, masked and tn horseback, came up and asked the elders to accompany them. They refused to do so. and while they were parleying Mr. Cun nard procured a rifle and aided the mob in taking the Mormons. Several shots were exchanged and in the excitement Mrs. Cunnard haa her jaw shattered. The moo finally secured the elders and rode off with them. Nothing has been seen of them since. The elders were driven out of two towns In Jasper county early in the week. NEW ERA IN MEXICO. l'iiiunrinl Circles Elated Over United State Money Comluir In. CITY OF MEXICO, July 27.-The an nouncement is made here that the Equitable life Insurance Company, of New York, had subscribed for $2,0uO,0uO of Mexico's new 5 per cent, gold bond issue, and it has created a most favorable Impression In financial circles. The success cf that portion of the new bonds allotted to the United States has aroused much comment, for It Is now seen that a new era in the relations of American investors and capitalists to Mexico has dawned. European interests here naturally do not look with favor on this new and favorable attitude of American investors and bankers toward Mexico and all organs of reaction and those contrOilul by European Interests are much annoyed. The City of Mexico is practically being rebuilt and building permits have been granted in number In excess of any previous lime In Its municipal history.

The arrest followed a post mortem examination, this afternoon, of the body of Mrs. Krueger, which revealed two bullets in the brain of the woman, whom a coroner's Jury adjudged guilty of the murder of her mother, the wounding of her husband and the taking of her own life. The result of the post mortem examination was a verification of the popular suspicion that Mrs. Krueger had not taken her own life, as either of the two bullet holes found In her head would have produced Instant death. Krueger was a silent witness of the grevsome proceedings at the grave. He sat at the head of the grave while Coroner Knlcht and Dr. Foley went about their work. When Dr. Foley found the first bullet lodged in the brain, Krueger quietly arose and disappeared. After the second bullet was found a search was made for him and he was placed under arrest.

SOLEMN AND FUNEREAL

KHMAINS OF ROBERT G. IN GSR SO LL CREMATED YESTERDAY. Ahe newt In an I'm Inerlhed "Thla .ow Holds the Dust, the Heart, the Memory." NEW YORK. July 27. The body of Col. Rober G. Ingersoll was cremated at Fresh Tond. Long island, to-day. The body was placed In the retort at 11:50 and at 2 o'clock all that remained was ashes. There were no services at the crematory. Even the organ, which is usually played while a cremation is going on, was silent. This was at the request of the family. There was a crowd about the building and a number demanded admission, but no one except the members of the family and two members of the Cremation Society were admitted. The body was removed from Walston eoon after 9 o'clock and taken to the Dobbs Ferry station, where a funeral car was waiting. The body was placed in the car and the members of the family also entered It. The body was Inclosed In a black coffin which was unrelieved by handles or plate. On the trip to the city Mrs. Ingersoll and the family sat about the bier and on the top of the coffin rested wreaths of roses and evergreen. The party reached the Fresh Pond crematory at 11:30 o'clock. The ct)ffln was not onened In the eoliimharlum. Those pres ent stood around it for a few moments and then It was carried to the Incineration room. Mrs. Ingersoll bore up better than it was expected she would. When the retort naa suiflclcntly cooled the cradle was drawn out and the alum-soaked sheet was opened. The ashes were then placed in the usual canister and then in the urn. Both were sealed and the urn taken in charge by the Ingersoil party. The return trip was then begun. Mrs. Incrersoll bore uo well. The funeral urn Is a beautiful one. wound with laurel leaves and berries in bas-relief and set with cypress leaves fashioned of green bronze. It is oval and set on a red porphj'ry base that rests on a bras plate. On one fide is the simple inscription: "Robert G. Ingersoll." On the other in French are the words: "This urn holds the dust; the heart; the memory." SOLDIERS NEGLECTED. Criticism of the Medical Department at Santiago. CHICAGO, July 27.

They have had two very notable fairs on behalf of charity In London during the past fortnight, and the sums of money realized at and In connection with them astonished me. Tho one In aid of St. Mary's Hospital, in which some energetic Americans were in terested and whfre there was an American stall, realized $110,000, while another for the help of the Charing Cross Hospital, in which royalty figured, raised $70,000. Part of this money was rained in a way, I think, we have not yet adopted a way that adds new terror to that already frightful Institu tion tne charity ralr. uecause there are many persons who do not believe In fairs and many more who know too much to be caught visiting them, the London folk send both circulars and visitors from house to house In search of contributions. An American lady told me of a still more unlooked for exhibition of enterprise at one of the bazaars. It was a piece of private enterprise on the part of her dressmaker, who is a French woman. This Ingenious arust reaa tne names or the duchesses and countesses and lady swells of many sorts who were to attend the fair on behalf of the Charing Cross Hospital, so to the pave ment in iront or the fair building she re paired, with a small camera. When the la dles filed out she snapped her instrument at each one who was smartly dressed, and rS'UStE Wh asy wore her customers to call and see the pictures greatly enlarged which she had gathered of all the newest and most stunning frocks in London. Her English customers easily recognized the faces of the great ladles in the photographs, and the dressmaker got oruers tor copies or nearly an oi the gowns. THE BALD &AULK AT HOME. He Chooses a lllffh Tree for Ills Of fensive Nest. Edward W. Sands, In Outing. An old friend met us. He first Fhowed as a black spot far up on the shore, then drifted grandly down upon set pinions, tacking in and out like a yacht working to windward. It happened he was slanting shoreward when he pasjed, and at forty yards his snowy head and tail and broad brown fans showed to fine advantage. We could see the polished yellow of his hooked bill and the fierce flash of his marvelous eolden telescopic eye as he turned it upon us and then back to his tireless searching of the water ana tne wave line along shore. lor years this eagle, hoary old beach comber as he is, has patrolled the shore daily for miles, seeking what the waters have cast up; for be it known he Is not above accepting even carrier.. Many a dead fish and lost bird he gets for the trouble 01 picking tnem up, but he can hunt, too. when he feels so disposed. Season after season he and his mate have patched the OiO ne9t ana reared their eae ets in peace. No one can climb the tree, and no decent man would shoot at the birds. Should you visit the foot of the trees your nose will be assailed by a most objectionable odor. and your naturally brief inspection will con vince jou that the eagles do hunt more than they are given credit for. Everywhere are iragmenis or nsn. wnwe among them are wings ana urns wnicn must have bolonged to grouse, portions of hares and other fragments suspiciously like certain parts of lambs, sucking pigs and domestic fowLs. But they are not our lambs, pigs or fowls, and so no shot whistles after the old pirate, who seems to understand that he Is iree 10 Duccaneer to his heart's content. BiK Ben's Ponderons 31echanl.ui.

ASTROLOGKHS AM) T1IK1U DI PKS. Their Hendqnarters Is nt Boston, the City of Refuge of Cranks. New Orleans Times-Democrat. 'It seems paradoxical at first blush." said a member of the faculty of Tulane Univer sity, but the .extraordinary fads and delusions that are multiplying every day are the logical outcome of the wonderful sclentitic progress of this century. Tho more we see of nature's marvels the less inclined we are to brand any statement as absolutely false. The public Is disposed to sus pend Judgment ana wait for evidence, and this attitude of tolerance is taken advantage of by innumerable cranks and im postors. I was surprised not long a?o when a very level-headed business man asked roe seriously what I thought of astrology. I supposed he was dialling me about some astronomical work of my own, until it leaked out that he had been a regular patron of a so-called astrologer who lives In Boston and makes 'commercial forecasts at to apiece. 1 saw one of the circulars of thi9 modern Cagilostro. He claims to be particularly successful In advising operations in 'corn, wheat, cotton and speculative securities,' and my friend told me I could laugh as much as I pleased, but there was certainly something In it.' He took the thinx very g&rlouply. but the idea of planets a million times vaster than Uils lit tle world of ours, threading their mighty orbits through unimaginable gulfs of space the bare idea of that stupendous heavenly procession arranging Itself with special reference to the swinaling machinations of a few Board of Trade sharpers In Chicago or New York struck mc as being uproariously funny. The incident excited my curiosity, however, and I learned that the Boston astrologers have quite a number of occasional clients in New Orleans. This seems incredible, but It is true. The cult lately established a very pretentious magazine called the Sphinx. I saw one copy, rubbed my eyes and wondered whether I was really living in the nineteenth century. It seemed to me that I had been suddenly transported backward at least three hundred yeart. "I found out Incidentally, in the court or my slight Investigation," continued the professor, "that several individuals lr different parts of the country are now giving what are called 'absent treatments' for 'success in business,' and evidently making a good thing out of it. As nearly as I could gather from one of their circulars, the principle is the same as that of Christian Science heal ing. The fellow who has been a chronic failuro all hLs life takes a few treatments and becomes a howling success. I don't know whether a four-carat solitaire blos soms on his shirt front during the process. but It i on.y reasonable to suppose that such Is the case. A man aflllctcd with Bright's disease and a yearning for wealth can get rid of one and acquire the other by precisely the same methods, but as both money and sickness are supposed to be pure ly imaginary, the operation involves a spe cies of mental gymnastics that I have been unable to master. Nevertheless, the circular I saw was fairly loaded with testimo nials, a number of which were from preach ers, and as I looked them over I couldn t help wondering what effect a course of treatment would have on a burglar or a green goods man. There Is nothing curious. by the way, tn the fact that Boston Is the great national center for this kind of thing. Its atmosphere Is peculiarly favorable to fads spiritualism, telepathy, thought transference, table tipping, planchette reading, palmistry, theosophy, faith curing, mesmer ism and other cults too numerous to mention, have all focused at the Hub. From time out of mind it has been the City of Refuge for cranks." AVbat Prliteess Victoria Wanted. nttsburg Bulletin.

Princes Victoria's mother, was obliged to leave her tittle daughter alone with Queen Adelaide for some time, end the latter, to make the young princess feel at home, said: "Now. my dear, you have an hour to spend with me, and you shall do exactly as you like." "Exactly as I Hke7" echoed Princess Vic toria, doubtfully. "Yes." replied Queen Adelaide, little im agining what was to follow. "Then, dear Auntie Adelaide." the child said, wistfully, "may I be allowed to clean the windows?" Queen Adelaide wis rather startled at first, but the future Queen of England had her way, setting to work with sleeves carefully rolled up and an apron tied round her waist. Selwyn and Lord Holland.
