TWREE SENSES- wta

Van all ever hidden from my iljhl, fid life stand helpless In unchanging night, mfrna eyes would quicken could hear Your gentle voice and know that jam wert near.

Were the world silent, soundless all the eea, Ko note of song In any bird for me, Seeing your toaauty, through my sonl would ring The music of the songs that lovers sing.

And oonld I speak not, were my lips denied Their lordly right to chant love deified, 34y very blood would praise God and rejoice for sake of your sweet face and gentle voice. —William Mudford in New York Tribune.

WITH HOT WHEELS.

Inow locomotives May Take Supplier the Klondike Miners. The problem, of getting supplies to tfc* piarving miners in the Klondike regions this winter may be solved by the use of the hot wheel snow locomotives of George T. Glover of Chicago. The matter of transportation by this means is now being considered with favor. The snow locomotive has been in use for two years on Secretary Alger's place in Michigan, hauling logs for miles through the forests to sawmills.

While considering a means to best transport supplies to the Klondike, Secretary Alger happened to remember the snow locomotive and brought it before the cabinet meeting some (Jays ago. Two days later Mr. Gjorer of Chicago wrote to the secretary that the use of the locomotive •was feasible on account of the level topography of the country over the Dalton trail between White pass and Fort Selkirk. It is about 200 miles from Fort Selkirk to Dawson City. Mr. Glover showed the secretary that this distance could be easily traveled by the snow locomotive on the frozen surface of the Yukon river.

Messrs. P: B. Weare and Michael Cudahy of the North American Trading and Transportation company, Chicago, were in Washington several days with reference to the mattes*.

Mr. G-lover was at work on the snow locomotive for six years. Two years ago he completed and perfected it. There are two wow in successful operation on Secretary Alger's placerln Michigan. On a log snow road they have made as high as 12 miles an hour, with as much as 40,000 feet of logs as freight. The locomotive is very simple in construction. There is a steel frame of two tons resting upon the runners, fore and oft. This frame sustains a boiler and engine and other machinery necessary. A large cylinder wheel with teeth arranged about it at intervals is the means of getting traction on snow and ice. This wheel is propelled by steam. The hot air that is lost generally is utilized in the operation of the locomotive. Wood is used as fuel.

In event the locomotive is adopted by the government for getting supplies to the Klondike, Mr. Glover says he can make several of them right away and very soon have a line established between Dyea and Dawson City.—Chicago Times-Herald.

T0WIT TOWED AWAY.

New JlamllcUie Fat on Scows and Floated Eighty Mfloc. The town of New Kamilchie, ih Mason county, Wash., will soon cease to exist except in name. At present the town site

Euildingsaexcept

resents deserted appearance. All the one store and the hotel are vacated, and many have either been torn down or moved away. The town site is owned by the Port Blakeley Mill company as well as all the buildings. A month ago a railroad had its terminus there. Now there is nothing left except the right of way and a few old ties. The rails were taken up, and the roundhouse, machine 6hops and everything were moved away. Two miles and a half farther up the bay is the new town and the terminus of the railroad, which handles more saw logs than any other, railroad in the state.

A gang of house movers went over a short time ago and proceeded to move the buildings to the new terminus of the railroad. These buildings were taken down to the beach and loaded on scows and towed away. Five residences in all have been taken to the new town, which some call the "rollway," because there is where the logs are rolled from the cars into the bay. Two large houses are now being placed on scows and will be towed to Port Blakeley, a distance of 80 miles. The houses are two stories in height and 40 feet long and, placed on scows being towed up the harbor, they look very pretty.—Seattle Times.

PAIN, SHAME AND MISCHIEF.

Gladstone Sums Up the Policy of the Powers In Terse Terms. The London Chronicle publishes an extract from a letter recently written by Mr. Gladstone. In it Mr. Gladstone says: "The pain, 6hame and mischief of the last two years in the eastern policy transcend entirely the powers of any language I could use concerning them. The sum is this: "Firstly.—A hundred thousand Armenians have been slaughtered, with no security against a repetition and with greater profit to the assassins. "Secondly.—Turkey is stronger than at any time since the Crimean war.

Thirdly.—Greeco is weaker than at any time since she became a kingdom. "Fourthly.—All this is due to the European concert—that is, the mutual hatred and distrust of the powers."

AGED HERMITS GONE,"

Peculiar Family of Recluses That EM Just Beoome Extinct. With the recent death of Miss Rachel Hooper, aged 70 yeans, at Sideling Hill, Pa, a remarkable family becomes extinct, three aged members having died within six weeks. John B. Hooper, a brother, died, and his demise was shortly followed by that of his two sisters.

They lived secluded, held no social intercourse with their neighbors and had no religious convictions. By frugality and •conomy they accumulated a considerable sum of money, which in their old ago they refused to spend for the necessaries of life, living almost entirely upon the charity of their neighbors. They did not believe in banks or investments, but secreted their money about their dilapidated buildings.

Two years ago midnight marauders subjected them to torture and secured a large •am of money. After the death of John Hooper neighbors began to search for hidden money, even raising up fiat stones in adjoining fields. Some §900 or $1,000 in gold and silver was eventually found •towed away in old tin cans and coffeepots. Rachel, the aged and decrepit sister who was living during these scenes, was mentally and physically incapable of making any remonstrance against them. Finally an administrator was appointed who restored order and will legally dispose •f the estate, which includes a farm. The Hoopers left no descendants or relatives in Vulton county.—Philadelphia Press.

NIGHTMARE GRAZED HIM.

A Frightful Dream and Its Strange and Unfortunate Sequel. Harry £ersky, IS years old. a preSfeer In

New 'York tailor's shop, is insane as the remit of a nightmare. He was taken to Bellerue hospital the other morning a raving lunatia Recently fte young man, who worked until late at night, found, when he started to go home, chat he could act jrc-t out. He rapped on the windows eetlrhoeted, be was not heard,

he made up liis mind that he had to spend tli* night alone in the building. He went to sleep on a pile of clothing. During this deep he had a horrible dream. He dreamed that he waa being attacked by a colored man, who waa bent on robbing the place. The colored man, whose face waa ugly and distorted, grasped him by the throat and tried to choke him to

The young man awoke with a start

and a scream. He looked about him, so real

hnrl

the dream appeared to him, but

there was no colored man in sight. He was unable to sleep any more, and when he went home after the doors were opened was so ill that he could not return. He went to work the next day, but grew gradually worse and finally was seized with delirium. He did not improve, and at last an ambulance had to be summoned to Htm to the hospital. The doctors say that it will be a long time before he can recover. Overwork and the nightmare are supposed to be responsible for his condition.—New York Tribune.

A BEW MOTOR

It May Supersede Steam and Make Trolley Wires Unnecessary. It always been contended that an attractable substance could not be brought through a magnetic field, and scientists have attempted in vain to utilize the force contained in a horseshoe magnet as a source of motive power. In regard to force, the use of the permanent magnet seems to increase its power instead of diminishing it as is the case in all other sources of energy.

Lately Mr. A. A. Kubach of New Lexington, O., who, by the way, does not claim to be a practical engineer, has constructed a simple device jvhich he calls a permanent magnetic motor. Experts who have seen its armature revolve when the magnets were placed in position are satisfied that there was no other source of power to cause its movement.

When the magnets were placed very olose to the armature, the revolutions were much faster than when farther away. If the invention should prove a success, trolley wires may be dispensed with aasd the use of steam engine!! become a thing of the past.—Exchange.

S0IEU0E IN JAPAN.

Vast Strides Blade In Knowledge of Micro Organisms. While in the United States and Germany great advance has been made in knowledge regarding bacteriology, Japan has been progressing In the study of micro organisms. In 1892 Dr. Kitasato's institute laboratory was established in connection with th8 Sanitary society of Japan. The doctor and his assistants are investigating the erysipelas and typhoid serums as well as other departments of micro biology.

One result is "lepiine," for the treatment of leprosy, a report of which is soon to be given to the world. The germ which he claims to be that of plague bacilli is absolutely different from that described by Dr. Yersin. A'commission recently sent to Bombay is expected to clear up the confusion. Dr. Kitasato is at variance with the Berlin school in seeking to prove the antitoxine property of cholera serum. Over 300 physicians, among whom are American and English naval surgeons, have gone through the course in bacteriology In the institute.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Raving Maniac.

A raving maniac of unknown identity was recently brought to the insane asylum of Budapest, in Hungary. The poor wretch imagined himself to be Jesus Christ. To test his mental faculties the physicians put some arithmetical questions, only to be dumfounded at the patient's readiness and precision in answering them. At last the house physician put this problem to the phenomenon, "If 16,000 waves of red color cover a line of one centimeter and light takes one second to traverse 42,000 miles, how many such waves reach the eye in onesecond?" "Four hundred and fifty billions," was the immediateanswer. A photograph of the man, who in all other respects proved to be insane, was sent to the police of Vienna, and through their reBearohes it was discovered that the unknown was no other than Moritz Frank, the famous lightning arithmetician.

Speed In Walking.

"There's no end of people," said a man who walks a great deal himself, "who think they could walk four miles an hour, and very likely they could, but they would have to move along very briskly to do it. As a matter of faot very few people indeed do walk four miles an hour. Three miles is a very fair gait, and when one exceeds that he is beginning to walk fast. If my recolleotion serves, the old 'common' time in the army carried a man

miles an

hour and 'quick' time 2H miles an hour. The distances which the soldier covers in an hour have now been increased somewhat by slightly inoreasing the length his steps, but my impression is that tb« 'common' time remains under three miles nn hour. Certainly three miles would good, fair walking, and fully up to men's average speed."

XBW YORK'S GOVERNOR APPKARS WITH REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

General Tracy Shows Why the Contest Has Gone Beyond the Mere Local Ubm.

HIS RINGING SPEECH ON TEE ISSUE Ptl f*

BIG CROWDS TURN OCT TO HEAR HENRI GEORGE. i~" ••J1 & —-v—

It Is Possible That Tammany Hay Be Mlitaken In Belittling George's W Strength.:

New York, Oct. 20.—General Benjamin F.

Tracy, candidate for mayor, and Secretary

of the Interior Cornelius H. Bliss and Governor Frank N. Black addressed an audience

of 1,500 persons at a Republican meeting

held tonight in the Lenox Lyceum here.

Secreary Bliss in the course of his remarks

said: "The state of Kansas is raising money for

George's campaign. A fund to elect George

is being contributed by Kansas people. I can say that I hear from all over the country what is *New York going to do. They ask: 'Are the people of New York going back on what they did last year?' "That is the question. There is but one thing for the great Republican party in this state to do. It is to get behind General B. F. Tracy, elect him mayor of this great city and guarantee for four years' honest government in every way and concurrence with the country in honest money and the killing of anarchism and everything that goes with the Chicago platform."

When General Tracy rose to speak he met with an ovation but it was not lasting as tha one he got when he entered with Mr. piiss. General Tracy in his speech dwelt largely on Brooklyn politics and made an argument against the Citizens' Unien.

Governor Frank Black of New York was 'the next speaker. He said in part: "This is not the time for honest men to keep their faces from the light. We are just but, emerging from a period so critical that its full significance will not be seen for, many -years. Wo have only passed the point where disaster seemed almost, certain we are slowly gaining, but are still within reechi of that disaster if through indifference or design we invite it to return. If this year we. relax a single effort, or, do but little where, we. might do more,, we are no wiser than he, who, stricken with .fever, yields himself to folly and imprudence at the first 6ign of returning health." "Contests are now waging in every state and city of this country. The army, that threatened us last fall are again abroad, under the same commanders, in the same cause, with the same purposes, but moving in smaller groups. Every victory they win now Jn separate companies, every .element of strength you permit them to acquire* in detachmens, will be used against you in ev$ry contest hereafter, whentheir forces are massed again in one comple^ aad.per chance victorious army. The isBi^e^,,now are the issues of last yegr. There, has been no attempt to change them.and7fhey» are not even disguised by phraseology. In every spot where the fight is on, it is," waged on the lines of St. Louis and Chicago. Socialism, anarchy, junk money and "Vver^' wild-eyed hybrid that stared through'the Chicago platform of a year ago, will gather In knots next month, around the polling places- 6f this republic. He who pretends that anarchy is dangerous only once in four years, that repudiation is dishonest only in national elections, and is willing at other times to keep them company is himself a dangerous citizen and unworthy of his privileggg. y6ul cannot divorce a city from the state, a state from the country, any more than you can divorce a citizen from his community. All are interwoven and dependent. A man who does not realize this fundamental truth, self-evi-dent and so necessary to our preservation and our growth, does not understand the basis of tht government in which we live. An^ yet in these times we are told that political contests should be fought upon nonpolitical lines. I utterly repudiate that declaration. I believe in the principles of the Republican party, not for a day or a year, not with intermittent and varying fidelity, but for all time as the Safe guide of those who are enjoying the rights of citizenship. I believe in partisanship always, for when devoted to noble purposes it attains the plane of patriotism. It should never fall into disuse through indifference on our part or through the false persuasion of those who would overcome us when they have lulled us t^g|ep."-

A Hciu'y George meeting in the Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight called forth an audience which fielled the big building to overflowing. The principal attraction was the appearance in Brooklyn of Henry George for the first time during the campaign. He made his customary appeal to the "True Democracy" in the name of Thomas Jefferson.'

A second meeting was held in the Clermont Avenue rink, Brooklyn, where an immense audience was addressed by Mr. George and ex-Congressman Tom L. Johnston, of Ohio.

Seth Low addressed a large meeting in Flushing tonight. The executive committee of the Manhattan Democracy unanimously endorsed the Citizens* Union ticket tonight. They have more than once polled 30,000 votes, and is composed principally of Germans.

The breach in the Henry George ranks caused by the refusal of the United Democracy to endorse the Citizens' Union and of the Jeffersonian Democracy ticket and later Henry George's refusal to allow his name to appear at the head of the United Democracy ticket was healed tonight. Mr. George will receive the full support of the

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

Horse and a Street Car ColHJe-.l Yesterday on Main Strest.

It si not often that a horse takes a notion to punch out a window pane in a street car. But one took that notion yesterday.

Constable Burke, who lives out in the southeast part of the city, was driving into busfness. and had reached a point in frcnt of Sam Goodman's store, when a push cart rattling along next the south sidewalk ifrlghteaed the nervous Texas pony which shied out into the street. Car No. 4S, .depoi line, was coming east at a good rate, and had almost reached the animal when it shied directly out upon the trick. Mr. Burke drew in on the lines with all his' might and was getting the horse back oil the track when one of the reins brok".

The motorman, who had checked the car when the animal made the plunge, thought he saw his chance and sent the car forward, thinking to pass the horse. Just at tbw moment the line broke and the horse Jumped directly at the car. His head went through one of the lights with a* crash. A woman who was sitting in the car with her back to the horse heard the noise ani saw the

horse's head over her shoulder. She promptly fainted. The car was stopped in a few feet and the animal backed off. The woman, whose name could not be learned, was easily brought to her senses and the car proceeded. Mr. $urke looked over his horse and wa$ astonished to find that its face had only bees scratched slightly. One sliver of glass had^&nhfedded itself In the nose, but the horse "rfor a wonder, was not hurt otherwise.

HE WHITES POETRY

TKRRE HAUTE MAN COMPETING FOB APPRIZE FOB LITBBARY WORK. .rt4 -rC Mr? Alexander Growf Has $mt His Varies to the Jewish Publication So- ... clety of America, fl

Terre Haute has a Hebrew poet His: name is Alexander Growf and he makes a living in the pursuit of a peddler.

Mr. Growf is a modest man and hesitates about allowing any of his verses to appear in print accompanied by his right name. He says he is a lover of content and Could not bear to be bothered by any public discussion of the merits of his poetry. He has no desire to become famous he says, and does not want to get the critics after him.

However, lately Mr. Growf has yielded to the temptation to enter a contest for literary laurels. The Jewish Publicaion Society of America has offered a prize for the best short story of 1,000 words. Mr. Growf does not write short stories and does not claim to have made any study of the principles of dramatic construction, but he has determined to pit his poems against the prose efforts of the other contestants. He has sent on to the Jewi*h Publication Society a number of specimens of his versifying handicraft and is rather surprised that as yet no answer has been forwarded to him. He states that he will endeavor to hurry the society up by shipping to it another consignment of his rhymes.

It is a source of pride to Mr. Growf that he can write poetry about all kinds of things and at a ipoment's notice. He is never at a less for a subject or for a treatment. He does not waste brain tissue over the difficulties of phonetic consonance if two words show a disposition to be obstreperous and not to rhyme he simply takes hold of the matter firmly and makes them rhyme. For instance, the average poet would have s»me trouble in forcing perfect harmony of sound bptween "aloud" and "clouds," but Mr. Growf handles a problem of that sort with no worry at all.

Mr. Growf realizes that it is not everybody who can penetrate the subtleties of poetic conception. For example, he took a number of.his more pretentious efforts to Mr. Gus Goodman and r,$ad them to that gentleman. Mr.i "Goodman listened with great courtesy anil "'earnestness, but at the conclusion] of the^readings he confessed to the Hebrew, singer that he saw absolutely nothing in whit had been read to him. "Now, Mr. Goodman," says Mr. Growf, in commenting upon this incident, "as smart a man as he is, says he does not see a thing in my poetry." Mr. Growf has also favored Mr. Simon L»eVi with a private reading of a number of his pieces. Mr. Levi was more appreciative than Mr. Goodman and admitted to Mr. Growf that his poetry was "very nice." Recently, Mr. Growf has composed some notable stanzas on the subject, "O Ye Legions of the Nineteenth Century, and Thou Art Many." This poem runs as follows: O Ye Legions of the Niuoleentn Century and ThotrArt Many. Instead making life fe^oVed and pleasant And xo bring delight ^'nd JOy on earth The voice of praise and of song and mirth.

We'lrt'ar baf '£d(f the voice of despair The'jtoor sigh and ine ^tiwrt trodlen gasp Of. oppression ajid t2r^.greedy grasp.

AUSTRIA'S CLOSE CALL.

By a Narrow Margin the Unterhaus Fails to Impeach the Ministry. Vienna, Oct. 20.—On the assembling of the unterhaus today after lasrt night's disorderly proceedings, the chamber began the discussion of a- serious of motions to impeach the members of the cabinet for an alleged violation of their ministerial powers by the issuance of a decree on June 23 test, authorizing the official use of the Czaech language in Bohemia. After a ten hours sitting the unterhaus by a vote of 161 against 1(1, adopted a motion to shelve the entire discussion. The faiuse then adjourned. The scenes in the unterhaus last night and during tne small hours this morning were simply disgraceful. The opposition belabored the desks with heavy rulers and slammed the desk lids. When a group of Czechs advanced and endeavored to seize the rulers and to hold the desk lids, there was a free fight for the possession of the lids which were tirn off and used as weapons. The crisis is regarded as most serious. Count iGoluchowski, president of the Imperial council of ministers and Austro-Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, has gone to Budapest to consult with the emperor on the measures to be adipted.

THE GAME OF SEE SAW fog

WHEAT COMTIKOn THI PRANKS IT HAS IMDOLGID IN ALL WMK.

After the Stlffer Foreign Markets Had Glreh It a Boost, There Was a Decline.

Chicago, Oct. 21.—Wheat today kept up its little game to see-saw which It has been indulging in eel) week, December option closing at a %c decline. It was %c above yesterday's close for a time, bnt liquidation and weakness which had developed in October dragged the market down. Cora followed wheat and closed Kc Sower. Oats did likewise. Provisions were independently strong and closed about tVtO higher ail arcunl.

Whe&f maintained the firmness of tone at the opening that characterized It at yesterlay's close.

It added from %c to %c per bushel to the previous day's closing price as soon as trading commenced, and during the two following hours it refused to sell substantially lower, notwithstanding a good deal of profit-taking by the smaller class of longs. Principal holders apparently did mot believe 92c to be the limit of the present advance, and took but little part In the selling. Conditions were generally more favorable to holders. Cables were all strongei and higher, Liverpool showing an advance equal to l^e per bushel and Paris was %c per busbe3 higher. The Nebraska state crop report said the winter wheat area would be reduced one-third by the drought. The only fly in the ointment was the statement of the Price Current that recent rains had materially Improved the winter wheat prospects. Not much attention was paid to this however. Business during the morning was more influenced by the fact that foreigners were buyers of wheat both covering of previous short sales and for long account. December opened at from 91%@92c, sold at 91%@91%c, then turned and by 11 o'clock had advanced to 92%c. Chicago received 193 cars, Minneapolis and Duluth reported 854 cars! The Atlantic port clearances were 615,000 bushels for the last week. The market broke badly during the afternoon. October became very weak on sellng by elevator people and interest in December died out, the crowd doing most of its trading In May Some of the buyers of the morning sold out and the result was a decline in December to 91@91&c. Trere was practically no rally, and it closed at 91Hc.

Corn was firm early with wheat, partly on covering by shorts, mostly on the greatly improved shipping demand, there being an out inspection of 565,000 bushels. Trading was only moderate, bu* prices were well maintained until wheat turned down when corn showed its sympathy with the movement. Offerings became quite free at the declltoe and continued to the close. Receipts were 626 cars. Cables were %@%d higher. December ranged from 26%@26%c to 25%@25%c. and closed %c lower at 26%c.

There was a very quiet session in oats. The market followed corn, ruling steady at a slight advance, during the morning, but moving oft later. Cash department was also quiet, very little fresh business being reported. Receipts were 248 cars. Seaboard clearances 225,000 bushels. December ranged from 18%c to 18c, closing %c lower at 18@18%c.

Provisions were Arm and hjgher, closing near the top prices of the day, in spite of weakness in grain. Better reports from yellow fever had something to do with the strength, but the cash demand was 6aid to be excellent from all points outside of fever afflicted districts in the South. A feature was the buying of lard and ribs by Armour. At the close December pork was 7%c higher at $7.87Va December lard 7%c higher at $4.40 and December ribs 7%c higher at J4.57V4

Estimated receipts for Friday: whea., iso cars corn, 510 cars oats, 300 cars hogs, 25,000.

STOCK AND BOND MARKET.

News From Spain Had a Depressing Effect On Stock Market.
