the Republican party. In ali time past they have shown themselves more capable than the men placed in Congress and tn our legislatures. "The Republican party has a clear and honorable record of duty faithfully per formed, of work well done, of promises fulfilled. In both national and State affairs. It comes with no extravagant pretensions ana r.o delusive trickery with which to patch the thoughtless. It has been trusted by the people of Ohio and by the Nation. It has proved worthy of the confidence which the people reposed in it. Even the Democracy have been unable with all their efforts at fault-finding to impeach the character of Republican officials or pull down the structure of wise administration and general prosperity which they have reared." Gorrrnor Roosevelt Address. At the conclusion of Judge Nash's speech Governor Roosevelt was Introduced. lie spoke in part as follows: "The men whom we are now fighting champion a cause which In its essentials I the same as that championed by the doughface and copperhead thirty-seven years ago. They vote the war a failure now as they voted it a failure then. They mouth with hypocritical anxiety about a free press now as they did then. They attack the Nation's credit and financial honesty now as they did then; and exactly as in those days, when they struck at an evil, they struck at It insincerely, so they mrike Insincerely at any real abuse of th present time, offering no remedy, and standing ready to hamper those who would really offer one; and when they propose a remedy It is a measure which would aggravate ten times whatever of evil actually exists. "They wish to discuss the queMlon of trusts, an economic question, and of expansion, which Is really the question of upholding abroad the honor of the flag and the Interests of the Nation and of making us rise level to our duties as a wirld power. They hope to avoid much discussion of the silver question much di.Tusssion of their advocacy of a dishonest dollar trusting that thereby they shall be enabled to say to the believers In free silver that they are heartily in favor of It, and yet to fool the men who Hand for sound finance by ex

plaining 10 mera mai inai question i rranjr i elevated to the rear and is not a live issue. They cannot be both for and against freo silver, and as long as they are for It it makes no difference whether they shout of whisper their allegiance. In either case they would have to turn their words Into acts shouii they come into power, and in both case, therefore, the menace to the prosperity of the country and the welfare of its citizens are equally great. The salvation of this country lies to no samll extent In the fact that while the bulk of our people fully appreciate the Importance of party and the usefulness of party government, yet that they put country above party. So It was In the civil war, when the war Democrats honored themselves by standing by th country; and to it will be now, for we have a right to call upon all sincere lovsrs of the flag, upon all believers in national honesty and civic uprightness, upon all mn who wish to bring about the betterment and uplifting of the mass of the people to stand with us until the heresies for which our opponents now fight have been relegated to the unclean dust where they belong. "Our opponents denounce trusts. But they propose not one remedy that would not make the situation ten times worse than at Its worst It now is. I have read through carefully the speeches of Mr. Bryan and of h'j fellows to find out what they propose to do. I have found plenty of vague denunciation. . I have not found so much as an attempt to formulate a national policy of relief. In the Democratic platform in Ohio Just two measures of relief are proposed. The first, that you should change the tariff because it favors trusts; and the second, that you should coin silver at the ratio of IS to 1, without regard to the action of any other nation. They pretend that the tariff favors trusta. They know well that the greatest trusts In this country, the Standard Oil and the sugar trusts, are utterly unaffected by the tariff. They know well that the trust with which there is the most widespread and deepest dissatisfaction, the beef trust. Is utterly unaffected by the tariff; and In my own State one of the largest trusts, the Ice trust (which is said, to have as Its most prominent member and promoter that ardent anti-trust champion and advocate of air. Bryan, Mr. Richard Croker), la also wholly unaffected by the tariff. THEY FORGET TIIE BREAD RIOTS. "Six years ago you were under the kind of tariff to which they now ask you to return. And you were suffering from the threat of free coinage, the threat which they now revive. Are the people of this country so ahort-slghted that they forget the miseries of six years ago? Do they forget the bread riots, the poverty, the squalid want, even of those able and anxious to work? Surely the country has had enough of tariff tinkering by the opponents of a protective tariff. The second great remedy they propose for trusts Is the free coinage of silver at 1$ to 1 the coinage of a 43-cent dollar. They actually propose to the people that if the trusts deprive certain men of part of their earnings, or throw a certain body of men out of employment, this shall be remedied by decreeing that the men who still uae enipiuj mem snuu ue piiiu ctrms on the dollar for the work they do. "The utter ucsettlement of values conseSuent upon a complete upsetting of our nanclal system would give a great opportunity for gain to every unscrupulous speculator In the country, and probably the people who would suffer the least from it .would be the very people who by combination have created the greatest trusts. The big capitalists, a large share of whose expenses takes the form of wages, would be compensated to some extent for bis losses in other directions by the shrinking of the amount he would have to pay out for wages, but the man who receives these wages would not be compensated in any way. If the wage workers act with wisdom and with forethought, if they show farsighted prudence in their combinations, industrial and political, their ultimate welfare is assured. In the long run only the American worklngman can hurt himself. "Whatever 13 really for his welfare, for his permanent and utlimate welfare, is for the welfare of the community. And of all the ways most surely to Interfere with his material welfare, tampering with the currency In which he is paid is the surest. "The banker, the manufacturer, the rich merchant, the large land owner could get along after a fashion under the scourge of free coinage, but the laboring man could not. The laboring man would go down to the lev.?l where you find him in countries where silver 13 the standard metal. The two remedies our opponents propose altering the tariff and debasing the currency could have no possible effect in abating the evils of the trusts, and could hurt those who profit by the trusts only to the extent that they hurt every member of the American busine community, from the capitalist to the day laborer. BRYAN'S NEW DISPENSATION. "The other day Ohio sent to New York a prophet of Mr. Bryan's new dispensation in the shape of ex-Congressman Lentz. who divided his time between fervent hopes for the success of Aguinaldo, and, therefore, FAIR FALL WEATHER.

for the ruin of the American army in the Philippine., and the firmly expressed conviction that the mantie of Washington and of Lincoln had fallen upon the shoulder? of ex-Governor Altgeld. Truly Mr. Rryan's new dispensation begins with a queer catalogue of saints, when they canonize Aguinaldo as a hero and Altgeld as a sage. The combination Is entirely appropriate. Tho.se who would encourage anarchv at home most

I naturally strike hands with the enemies of our country abroad. The friend of the bomb-thrower and his apologists are doing what is at and mete when they strike hands across the seas with those who are fighting our soldiers In foreign land?. Fundamentally the causes which they champion are tbe same. The step encouraging the assassination of the guardians of the law at home, to tho aiding and abetting of the scooting down of our soldiers abroad Is but a short one; and it matters little whether the wwouragement be given by the exercise of the pardon'ng power, by raving speeches upon the platform, or by the circulation of silly documents composed by men too feeble to accomplish the mischief they design. "Make no mistake! In the Philippines we are at open war with an enemy who must be put down. It is absolutely Impossible to save our honor except throjgh victory, and It Is equally Impossible to win peace, to restore order in the Islands, or to prepare the way for self-government there, gave through victory. People tell you that the Filipinos are fighting for independence. Thi3 was exactly what the copperheads ot 161 said of the Confederates. Here In Ohio Vallandigham ran on the issue that the war was a failure, and that the Independence of the Southern States should be acknowledged. The feeble Vallandlghams of to-day take the same position, and if Ohio Is true to the great memories of her past, she will give the same answer now that she gave thtm. No man can hesitate In this struggle and ever afterward call himself a true American and true patriot. He must stand by the flag. He must uphold the honor and the interest of the Nation, and the only way in which he can stand by the one and uphold the other is to overwhelm the party that assall3 both. Two fact3 must be emphasized: First, that out of the present situation, the only honorable and humane way 13 to put down armed resistance In the Philippines and to establish a government of orderly justice; and, in the second place, that this situation inevitably arose out of the war and could not have been avoided save by shameful conduct on our part. You will meet shortsighted people who say that Dewey after sinking the Spanish fleet should have sailed away from Manila bay. Of course, such conduct was impossible. It Is not too much to say that such conduct would have been infamous. Either the islands would have beer left to their own fate, had such a course been followed. In which cae a series of bloody massacres would have taken place, and the war between the Spaniards and the Filipinos would have dragged along its wretched length until t?ome outside interference took place, or else what is far more probable, as Dewey's fleet galled out, the fleet of some European power would have sailed in and we should have had the- keen mortification of seeing the task which we shrank from bgun by some nation which did not distrust its own powers, which had the- courage to dare to be great. Dewey had to stay and we had to finish the job we had begun. . NEVER HAD INDEPENDENCE. "The talk about the Filipinos having practically achieved their independence Is of course the veriest nonsense. Aguinaldo, who has turned against us, owed his return to the islands to us. It was our troops and not the Fllipiros who conquered the Spaniards, and as a consequence it wit to us the island fell, and wo shall show ourselves not merely weaklings unfit to take our place among the great nations of the world, but traitor to tho cause of the advancement of mankind, if wo flinch from doing aright the task which destiny has intrusted to our hand. We have no more right to leave the Filipinos to butcher one another and sink slowly back into savagery than we would have the right, in an excess of sentimentality, to declare the Sioux and Apaches free to expel all white settlers from the lands they once held. The Filipinos offer excellent material for the future: with our aid they may be brought up to the level of self-government; but at present they cannot stand alone for any length of time. "A weak nation may be pardoned for giving up a work which it does, badly, but a strong nation cannot be pardoned for flinching from a great work, because forsooth there are attendant difficulties and hardships. The century which Is Just closing has seen what the century which Is opening will surely also see: vast strides in civilization, the result of the conquest .of the world's waste spaces, the result of the expansion of the great masterful, ruling races of the world. "Our opponents are fighting against the stars in their courses, for they are striving to bring dishonor upon the American republic. They can qualify, refine, differentiate and differ all they wish, but fundamentally their attitude 1 the attitude of hostility to the flag, of hostility to our sailors and soldiers, of hostility to the greatness of the Nation the greatness of the race. The other day in New York a Democratic club started to call itself the Dewey Club, and had to abandon the name because the members Suarreled so among themselves half of aem repudiating Dewey because he was an expansionist. Think of it! They dared not call themselves after the greatest hero, military or naval, whom we have produced since the civil war because they were not loyal to the policy for which that hero stood, to the policy which he has done so much to put into effect. "My fellow-citizens, this contest of yours In Ohio Is no mere State contest. It is a national contest. Our opponents are fighting on national grounds. They take their stand In favor of economic unrest, of financial dishonesty and of national dishonor. We take up the glove that they throw down. We meet them on every point. We stand for a continuation of the conditions which have brought prosperity to us. We stand for an intelligent effort to wipe out any wrong that may arise without substituting a ten-fold greater evil. Finally, we stand for upholding the traditional American policy of defending the honor of the American people in the face of any foreign foe, and of giving frae outlet to the vigorous and abounding strength of the Nation. If we flinch from doing our task in the face of the nations, if we flee from the Philippines w'e shall have written a shameful page in the history of our country, a page which our sons and grandsons will read with bowed heads. I verily believe that the shame and anger such action would arouse in our bosoms would force us In a few brief years again to tread the path upon which we have now entered, only the delay would increase beyond measure the difficulty and danger. We cannot shrink from doing the task allotted to us, unless we are content to see it done by stronger hands and to admit that we are not in the front rank among nations. Surely no American worthy the name will make such an admission. In the present crisis we appeal not merely to party, but beyond party; we appeal to all good citizens, to all patriotic Americans, to stand with us. as we uphold financial Integrity and the conditions which make for material prosperity at home, as we uphold the honor of the flag and the interests of th3 Nation abroad." NO REAL. REMEDIES PROPOSED. Governor Roosevelt summed up as follows: "Our opponents seek to make their points by denouncing trusts and expansion. In both cases they occupy a purely destructive attitude. They advocate nothing constructive. The Democratic party, with that fatal facility it has shown for many years in appearing at every recurring presidential election as the enemy of the business man, and. above all, of the worklngman. now once more comes to the front as the champion of the forces that tell for economic destruction. They denounce the trusts, but the measures they propose against them are purely political, are not economic, not remedial. They strive to win by inflaming ignorant passion, and trust that the passion thus inflamed will overcome sound Judgment. They propose either no remedy or else they propose remedies so absurd and so vicious that they would tenfold aggravate all existing evils. Mr. Bryan has developed a visionary scheme of national supervision, a scheme of extreme centralization, which would be unworkable at present and which might cause great havoc to industry if so much as the attempt was made to put it Into effect. We propose to meet the problem in the only way In which It can be met, by cool and careful study, by finding out what the facts are and then by exhausting every legitimate power, legislative, administrative and Judicial, to regulate the Industrial movement and to cut out all abuses. "Corporations (for what we commonly call trusts are generally merely big corporations) render great services and are Indispensable instruments of Industry in our modern life: but their growth has been accompanied by the growth of evils which we can but remedy by common sense and common honesty not demagogic outcry. Our opponents say we have no plan. We have, and the plan is. as a first step, to try the effect of publicity, and then to supplement publicity by taxation, and then by licensing or whatever measure experience shows to be effective. Uefore hitting we must know exactly what we are hitting at, and whether the blow will hurt more than It htips. The first thing to do is to provide for full Investigation of and exhaustive report cn all these corporations, especially all the corporations which have grown to be of Hueh portentous dimensions as to control any considerable portion of a given trade. Industry or produce in short, all those corporations which we mean when we speak of trusts. The mere letting in of the light will in Itself cure many evils, expect'ty those of overcapltallza1" and the

undue suppression of competition, and as5 for the evils that remain, when once we can see them clearly and distinctly, the remedy can readily be devised without entailing upon the Innocent the awful misery that will surely follow any blind and ignorant attempt to smash parts of our modern industrial machinery, without taking the trouble to find out their relations to our industrial life itself. LEARN THE FACTS FULLY. "Let us find out every important detail of the buslnes3 of the great corporations examined; the amount of stock; the amount of bonds; the terms upon which issued; the salaries of the highest employes; the wages and aggregate of wages paid to the others: the output of the product and the price at which it Is sold; so that In each case we may -find whether the combination has resulted in the raising or the diminishing of production, and, in short, learn every detail which will show exactly what the process has been. Especially let us iind out whether the trusts have any unduly favored relations with great transportation companies; whether favors are shown them that are not shown their smaller competitors in violation of the spirit of our Interstate-commerce legislation. Let us find out the facts fully and then let us act on these facts by legislative or executive action. "Our opponents, because the body is diseased, threaten to use the knife before knowing where the disease is. My plea is for the diagnosis first and then for a free use of the knife, but an intelligent and not a blind u.e. A surgeon who advocates a remedy not to cure a disease, but to secure a patient, would be debarred from associating with every reputable member of the medical profession. So It should be with the politician who treats an economical evil as material out of which to make political capital wholly regardless of the fact that by the course they advocate they will bring disaster to the body politic Yet this is exactly what our opponents are doing. They propese to cure the evil of trusts by plunging the entire body of the people, and especially the wago earners, into a condition far worse than that from which six years ago they escaped. We propose to find out just where the evil lies and then to cut it out firmly, but without injury to what Is sound. "So again when they come to deal with expansion they juggle words. They state insincerely what they know Is not true and etrive to br'-ng shame and dishonor on the country for their own political advantage. They say they are against imperialism. So are we. Not an American in the land favors imperialism, and they know this. They profess to fear the evils of a great standing army and a grand navy. They know that no one proposes for a moment to make the army and navy larger relatively to our needs of the moment than they have been to our needs of the past. We are not Imperialists, we are expansionists, and that we have got to be whether we wish to or not. The work of expansion Is going on all about us before our eyes.. Every miner who stakes out a claim on the Yukon, every new settler who takes up unoccupied land among yi foothills of the Rocky mountains is a unit in the great work of exEansion. Every man before me to-night is ere because his forefathers were expansionists when they crossed the Alleghenies and came this side of the Ohio. Expansion means growth, neither more nor less. "Imperialism is simply the catchword of those who wish to retard our growth, to stunt us. to hinder the development of our might cf all powers. What do they mean by imperialism? Do they consider us Imperialists because Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington have become part of the Union? .As well use the names of those States as of what Is now going on in the closing years of the century, as the Nation advances with the strides of a giant to take the front place among the peoples of the world. All great nations must expand Just S long as they grow and flourish. Do our opponents mean that democracy is the only form of government under which the greatness that comes by expansion Is barred? Do they mean that our mighty Republic is too weak to do a work which as a matter of fact will call for but a fraction of its giant strength? NO GREAT BURDEN. "Our opponents well know that the course upon which we have entered will not necessitate the laying of a military burden upon us half as heavy in proportion to our size and strength as tho burden of the forces occupied in the Indian wars during the middle decades of this century. It is ro more imperialism to put down the Philippine Insurrection in the nineties than it was Imperialism to put down a Sioux outbreak In the sixties. Relatively there will be no more danger in the one case than there was in the other of the ordinary citizen feeling the pressure from, or. Indeed, realizing the existence of an armed force. Our opponents have the audacity to say this war in the Philippines was not authorized by Congress. They know that the treaty of peace with, Spain gave us the Philippines. That treaty was ratified by the Senate, and both the Senate and the House, by overwhelming majorities, with hardly a score of dissenting votes even among the Democrats, provided the money, to be paid in accordance with the terms of the treaty. The Philippines then became part of the country, and when an insurrection broke out in Luzon it had to be put down exactly as an Apache outbreak would be put ddNvn. "The President acted as he was bound by his oath of office to act. To have followed the advice of the men who wished him to bow down to insurgent savagery would have been treason to the Nation. He would have been subject to impeachment had he failed in his duty, had he failed to employ every adequate means to reduce Aguinaldo, Just as his predecessors employed every adequate means to reduce Geronimo and Sitting "Dull. And, by the way, when our opponents erect their Pantheon of saints and heroes. I earnestly recommend them to put beside the bust of Aguinaldo the bust of Sitting Bull. One is Just as much entitled to recognition as the other, and the men who now give aid and comfort, by speeches and platforms, to the one. stand not so very much above those men who at one time sold cartridges to the other. If one was a patriot, then the other was, and we ought to leave the country claimed by the one now, we should restore to the descendants of the other the country we took from them twenty-five years ago. "No! This Nation must be true to its mighty destiny. This generation must not flinch from its allotted task, and must show Itself worthy of the mighty men who in the great civil war saved the Union, so that now the sons of the men who wore the blue and of those who wore the gray stand shoulder to shoulder under the glorious banner which, from henceforth, wherever it floats, marks a stride in advance towards the reign of peace, progress, justice and orderly liberty throughout the world." THE 3IARYLAXD HOW.

Senator Wellington Predict Governor Loundei "Will Re Defeated. BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. L'3. Senator Wellington has forwarded to Governor Lowndes his reply to the letter in which the Governor requested the senator to resign the chairmanship of the Republican state committee. The letter Is as follows: Sir Your letter of the 21st reached me yesterday. After your action it is impossible for me to serve as chairman of the Republican state committee and I had intended In a legal way, with due notice, to convene the committee for the purpose of tendering my resignation. I understand, however, that yourself and the other candidates on the State ticket have taken time by the forelock and, in a manner entirely vnprecedented and illegal, have called together the committee for Monday, the 23th inst. While this is unwarranted and unlawful I shall make no objections to it and hope no one else will. Should there be present a quorum at the meeting I will tendeimy resignation on Monday next. I write more in sorrow tb.n in anger, but above all there is present with me for you, mingled with seme pity for your weakness, immeasurable and unutterable contempt for your want of frankness and truth. It will be unnecessary for me to say or do more, for at the polls in November the people of the State will administer to you such a rebukeas will be sufficient punishment for all that has transpired. Governor Lowndes said, when asked If he had any comment to make on Senator Wellington's letter: "I have not received the communication. As far as I am concerned the incident is closed. The committee, which will meet on Monday, represents the Republican party of the State, and if in its judgment it should retain Mr. Wellington as chairman then I shall decline the nomination for Governor." Toledo Jones' Challenge. TOLEDO, O., Sept. 23. Mayor Jones, the independent candidate for Governor, to-day challenged Hon. George K.

Governor Plngree to-day gave out for publication a lengthy statement In which he declares he will not be a candidate this fall for mayor of Detroit. Says the Governor: "Tho only consideration which might have led me to accept a nomination would have been the. opportunity of standing upon a platform for municipal ownership of street-railways and three-cent fares under the plan proper! by

my associates and myself. The positive refusal, however, of It. T. Wilson, the principal owner of the street-railways, to negotiate further and the absolute withdrawal of his offer of sale ended our efforts to make three-cent fares a reality under the proposed plan." PRIZE FIGHTERS' UNION.

VETERANS WILL PARRDE

MANY WILL IGNORE TIIE DECISION OF GRAND ARMY OFFICIALS. Twelve Hundred to Take Part In the Deivey Celebrat IonA Cincinnati Post's Resolutions, NEW YORK, Sept. 23. Veterans of the civil war will participate In the land parade in honor of Dewey despite the decision of the officials of the Grand Army of the Republic not to order out different ppsts. Among the organizations which have decided to parade are two platoons of the Medal of Honor Legion, under command of Gen. T. S. Peck, of Burlington, Vt. Those who parade will be largely members of the New York commandery, but other commanderies will be represented. All of these men are members of the Grand Army. The Loyal Legion has nomimnated several of Its staff to parade. There will be two organizations, numbering one hundred men, of the Duryea Zouaves of the One-liundred-and-sixty-fif th New York Volunteers. There will be a contingent from the Eleventh Veterans Regiment Association of the civil war. The Hawkins Zouaves and two full Grand Army of the Republic posts are arranging to take part in the parade. Already five hundred veterans have decided to parade and by Tuesday it is expected that 1,20), the limit set by General Roe, will have sent in applications. The Confederate Veterans, who had also decided not to parade, are now arranging to have a representation of their organization in the procession. . GRAND ARMY WROTH. . Resolutions of a Cincinnati Post In llegard to the Alleged Slight. CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 23.-Fred C. Jones Post 401, Department of Ohio, of which Past Commander-in-chief W. C. Johnson is a member, has adopted ringing resolutfons condemnatory of the slight given the Grand Army of the Republic by the managers of the Dewey land parade in New York and extending thanks to Commander in-chief Shaw and Col. Kay, commander of the Department of New York, "for their dignified action In declining to submit to the slight contemplated upon the saviors of this Republic, who of right should stand second to no organization eligible to participate in the military pageanf illustrative of American heroism and American patriotIsm." The resolutions further declared that whether in the line of parade or not "the Grand Army cannot be excelled in enthusiasm over the achievements of their comrade of '61 to '65, who learned his lesson of bravery and skill of command under the great Farragut," and concluded by asserting that "had comrade Dewey been advised of the contemplated insult to us he would have entered his protest as do we." The resolutions were forwarded to General Shaw and Col. Kay. AFTER THIRTY-SIX YEARS. Wldovr Wants $10,000 Deposited In a Rank by Her Soldier Brother. WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 23. Mrs. Julian Benhard, a widow, living here, in looking over some old letters found a deposit certificate for $10,000 which her brother, W. L Richardson, had placed in the Bank of Trenton, of Trenton, Tenn., to her credit Jan. 23, 1863. Young Richardson, when President Lincoln Issued his first call for troops, enlisted in the Twenty-second Illinois Regiment of infantry. His father had Just died, leaving his children $10,000 In cash. Richardson had his money sewed up inside his uniform. In January, 1S63, he was detailed with a squad of men to do skirmish work and he deposited his money, $10,000 in United States currency, in the Bank of Trenton to the credit of his sister, then Julia Ann Richardson. He was wounded -in February and sent home, where he died. He gave the deposit slip to his sister and she put It away. After the funeral the deposit check could not be found. Miss Richardson became Mrs. Bernhard. Her husband died several years ago and the fortune of the family long since disappeared. The Bank of Trenton is no longer in existence, but Mrs. Bernhard has employed attorneys here to bring suit against the stockholders, several of whom are still living, for $10,000 and interest at 6 per cent, for thirty-five years, amounting in all to ?35,0CO. THROWN AGAINST A SAW. Rich Michigan Danker Killed in One of Ills Lumber Mills. CHARLOTTE, Mich., Sept. 23. President William Smith, of the First National Bank of this city, was killed at Wolverine, Mich., to-day by being thrown from a log carrier against a moving saw. Mr. Smith had vast lumber interests In Cheybogan county and went to that point Wednesday to make final arrangements for the transfer of the property to a Chicago man, who was with Mr. Smith at the time of the accident Besides controlling the stock of the First National Bank, he was rated as one of 'the richest men in the county. The Intelligent Cow. London Globe. Next to the sheep the cow is regarded by the slaves of insular prejudice as the stupidest of four-legged things. In pictures, when It is not eating it is lying down; in comic journals it is either tossing inoffensive old ladies or galloping madly round a field with its tall on end. And even to him who sometimes gets beyond the four-mile radius the cow, 'in propria persona," presents no particularly intelligent characteristics. Its life, apparently. Is divided between eating when awake, and chewing the cud when dozing, and the farmer Is ready to admit that for dullness of comprehension there Is no animal on the farm quite so bad as the cow. But a writer In one of tho weekly papers seeks to correct this Idea. If the cow is stupid, he avers. It Is because man has made her so. In a wild state she is a highly intelligent beast, and to this day there are places on the earth where she is held in high esteem for other properties than her milk-giving virtues. In South Africa the cot appears in the role of the Pooh-Bah of the farm. Among South African savages, we are told, the cow not only provides the breakfast milk, but she ia trained to watch the sheep and keep them together, to drive off wild animals, to come down like a wolf on the fold on the midnight burglar, and even to take an active part in the grim business of tribal warfare. Whether the milk is cf so good a quality as that yielded by our stupid, cud-chewing animal is a question which the writer forbears to diSCUSH. niiocent Pie Ever llaked. Kansas City Journal. It was recounted In the dispatches a short time since that the people of Mulvane had welcomed one of their soldier boys home with a big reception. This soldier boy was Artie Phillips, and In one 6f his letters from Manila he had said that he would give four years of his life for one of those apple pies, such as his mother used to make. At the reception he was presented with a huge pie, as has been hitherto related, but it was not until the Mulvane Record arrived this week that we gained an Idea of the pie's real dimensions. It was in square form, measuring two feet one way by five feet the other. In it were two and ' one-half bushels of apples, ten pounds of flour, ten pounds of sugar, six pounds of lard, two pounds of butter, and a commensurate amount of the other truck which goes in this kind of pastry. The Record says it was probably the biggest pie ever baked, but that "it didn't last longer than a keg of beer in a prohibition town." Another Dewey Story. Washington Post. Dewey once attended a wedding breakfast at which the affable Baroness de Struve, wife of the Ruwian minister at that time, was present. Dewey had met this famous woman several times before. The facial Elalnness of the baroness was quite beyond eiief, but she was one of the most brilliant, lovable and kindly women ever elected to guide the social affairs of the diplomatic corps in Washington. A lady who overheard it tells of an amusing passage which the baroness and Dewey (who. If memory serves, was then a commander) had at this particular wedding breakfast. "Referring to leather." said the baroness, amiably, after some playful remark aa to the spick-and-span polish of Dewey's sword

belt he was in dress uniform "the most remarkable bit of Russian leather in the world is my face." Dewey was as quick a thinker then as h Is now, but this stalled him. "Madame," he said, after a pause, "I am but a rough sailor man. and this is a heavy demand which you make upon me. I am not equal to the emergencj." "Of course," said the baroneps. tapping him with her fan. "I should have to consider you hopelessly rude were you to agree with me. But you can preserve your neutralitynaval officers are taught to do that, are they not? by telling me what really fine eyes I have. They are fine, are they not?" Thus assisted, Dewey rose to the occasion. The baroness's eyes were, In truth, magnificent. DECLINE OF THE DI3IE NOVEL. Only One or Two Pulillnlierw of Snch Literature Survive. New York Evening Sun. The simon pure dime novels of fifteen years ago, with their flashy covers and their alliterative titles, the Joy of the youth and small boy and the horror of loving parents, are on the decline. Indeed, there are reasons for believing that the real old-fashioned dime novel is Practically extinct. Poor imitations make their appearance from time to time, but they deceive no one. What person who as a boy has whiled away the sunny hours on the south side of the barn deeply absorbed In the flendith cruelty and Machiavellian shrewdness of Montezuma the Merciless, of Murley the Mutineer, or of Daring Damon, the Demon, can wonder why the insipid vaporingrs of the latter-day dime novelists fail to appeal to the youth of the present day? It i9 true that these novels are still read, but not to any great extent. The manager of the Juvenile department of one of the large news companies said the other day that at the present time there were but two series of the old-fashioned dime novel on the market, and that the demand for them was slight. And the publishers of the famous old literature, where are they? Their rise to fame and fortune was like the flight of an eagle, but their descent, though less abrupt, was no less decisive. Fifteen years ago they were at the pinnacle of success. Their output of dime novels approached figures that were only equaled by the enormous consumption of that class of literature. And to-day there are but one or two of those publishing firms In existence, and they have given their attention almost entirely to the production of other kinds of literature. The cause of this decline in the dime novel has been accounted for by the proportionate development of the youthful mind with the growth of the' country. The 10-cent magazines, the various Juvenile periodicals and the cheap editions of standard books for boy3 have tended to educate and Improve the youthful minds and to make them desire something more intellectually satisfying than the dime novel, if not so exciting. And then there Is the Improved halfdime novel. It has illuminated covers, is printed on a fair quality of paper, and la written In the style of the Oliver Optic and Alger books. These novels, it is said, are enjoying great popularity. One searches in vain, however, for the favorite old heioes that delighted and thrilled the small boys in past generations, men who cut notches in the stocks of their trusty rifles for every Inddan they killed and who always escaped threatened dangers through feats of superhuman strength or skill. Jock Ilarkaway, Old Sleuth, Captain Ku Klux. Kit Collier, and all the rest of the famous scouts, outlaws, Indian fighters and detectives are no longer in demand, and have passed into oblivion. Indeed, there are few of the present generation who know that they even existed. Another reason for the decline of the dim novel is that the things they told of belong to the paft. There are no more Indian wars, and the few Indians that are left are gathered on the reservations; the buffaloes are gone, the outlaw bands have long been broken up and the leaders shot or hanged. Even the historic old Western stage coacTi has given way to the railroad train or the trolley car. The yellow Journals, with their glaring supplements, have also tended to displace the dime novel. And besides tills, the late war has provided such food for the boyish Imagination as cannot be obtained in novels. Fifteen years ago there was hardly a live, wideawake fles-h-ancl-blood boy in the country who did not read a dime novel at every opportunity. Of course, the unyielding opposition or parents and teachers made their perusal all the "more exciting. A fair specimen of this old-time literature may be found in the following dialogue: J'You see that man?" "I see him." - "Mark him well." "I have done so." "Find out his name. I know him already. "Ha. Who is he?" "Peter Parker, the Roy Detective." "He dies," and with that Jim Jones drew his trusty revolver, took deadly aim, fired, and the next moment Peter Parker disappeared never to appear again. Did we say never? Yes, he did appear again, and at a most opportune moment. (See our next Issue.) A favorite time to read these novels was during the long hours of a Sunday morning church service. Roys would tear out pages of the novels and roll them carefully around a lead pencil. Holding them well under the back of the preceding pew they would gradually unroll them as they read. Another method was to secrete the pages between the leaves of hymn books and Bibles. Many fortunes have been made in the publication of dime novels, but most of the old publishers still surviving now give their attention to periodical literature. The names of some are to be found on the covers of weekly magazines, while others are dead or have turned to other methods of making a living. The total extinction of the dime novel and half-dime novel is said by wholesale dealers to be a future certainty. AX IXXOCEXT ABUtCTIOX. The Baby Cnb Were Alike, and that 31ade the Trouble. New York Tribune. A curious advertisement appeared in several of the dallies recently, which read about as follows: "Lost A baby, in a baby carriage, left In front of M 's. It was taken yesterday afternoon, presumably by mistake. Communicate, tor mercy's sake, with the distracted mother at No. R street." As there was no other Insertion and as no other mention of the circumstance appeared In the papers those who had noticed the extraordinary announcement concluded that the missing baby had been found, as was the case, for the facts were these: Mrs. X and her nurse, the latter trundling a baby carriage, with Its precious occupant, stopped in front of a certain grtat emporium, and the kind-hearted mistress sent in the maid for a glass of soda water. As the latter was long in coming out, and as Mrs. X 's house was in the neighborhood, she walked on with the carriage, and arrived without seeing the nurse. In the meanwhile another woman came up with a baby carriage exactly like that owned by I3aby X ,.in which her own infant was sleeping sweetly. Drawing the wagon into the recess where Mrs, X had been standing she hurried into the great shop. The next episode was the return of the nurse. She saw the carriage, and, supposing that her mistress had noticed that she was coming and had walked on ahead, she seized it and wheeled it rapidly toward home. The situation on her arrival may be Imagined. Of course she was immediately sent back with the kidnaped baby. After looking In vain for an hour for the mother, and the little one beginning to fret, she returned wlth.the child. The only thing to do was to keep the child for the night. Word was sent to the various police stations, and the little thing was fed and tucked away in the other child's bassinette, where It slept peacefully until morning, when, to the inexpressible relief of all concerned, the advertisement proved the means of restoring the abducted infant to Its home.

Hutchinson's Archives of Surgery. The following has been often quoted, but it cannot be too widely known. It Is an account in Coleridge's own words of how he was led into the fatal habit of using opium: "I wrote a few stanzas twenty-three years ago, soon after my eyes had been opened to the true nature of the habit into which I had been ignorantly deluded by the seeming magic eiTects of opium In the sudden remcval of a supposed rheumatism, attended with swellings in my knees and palpitations of the heart and pains all over me by which I had been bedridden for nearly six months. Unhappily among my neighbor's and landlord's books were a large parcel of medical reviews and magazines. I had always a fondness ta common case but most mischievous turn with reading men who are at all dyspeptic) for dabbling In medical writings: and in one of these I met a ca.e which I fancied very like my own. In which a cure had been effected by the Kendal Rlack Drop. In an evil hour I procured it; it worked miracles the swellings disappeared, the pains vanished; I was all alive, and all around me being as ignorant as myself, nothing could exceed my triumph. I talked of nothing else, prescribed the newly discovered panacea for all complaints, and carried a bottle about with me. not to lose an opportunity of administering Instant relief and spetdy cure to all complalnen simple and gentle. Need I say that my own apparent convalescence was of ro long continuance; but what then?thc remedy was at hand infallible. Alai! It is with a bitter smile, a laugh of gall and bitterness, that I recall this period of unsuspecting delusion, and how I first became aware of the maelstrom, the fatal whirlpool, to which 1 was drawing. Just when the current was beyond my strength to stem. The state of my mind is truly portrayed ia the following effusion, for God knows from that moment I was the victim of pain and terror, nor had I at any time taken the flattering poison as a stimulus or any craving after pleasurable sensations. I needed none; and oh. with what unutterable sorrow did I read the 'Confessions of an Opium-Eater in which the writer with morbid vanity makes a boast of what was my misfortune, for he had faithfully and with an agony of real been warned off the gulf and yet wilfully struck into the current. Heaven be merciful to him!" The Doff and the Docks. Humane Alliance. Mr. R. C. W. Howard, of Duval county. Florida, vouches for the truth of the following incident which came under his observation: Rover, a large, shaggy dog was the occupant of a well-kept kennel and was frequently companioned by a duck, which finally gave a supreme test to his friendship by laying an even dozen of eggs in a corner of his kennel. Rover did not resent the encroachment, but on the contrary, seemed to feel the responsibility of guardianship and at night lay with his nose a little closer to the door of the kennel, while the duck sat on the eggs In her pre-empted corner. In due season eight ducklings appeared and Rover appeared as delighted as if he had dug a woodchuck out of his hole In the pasture lot. A week later the mother duck lost her life In a cow-kick accident and Rover at once assumed the care of the webfootcd orphans, nestling them In his long hair at night and In the day time a wlsidcj wlla them in the pond
