however, even when making weather

about his proRnoatleutlona with certain
provision which will euablo him to
maintain his self-respect, even if his
nredlctions should vary coiittlderably

Mrs. Thompson sold:
"Wllllain, tell me about tho weather;
I wleh to know which gown I ought to

Thompson Eased at the heavens an l

Well, my doar," said he, "it may

"Now, William, I want positive In
formation. Will It be safe to wear my
blue broadcloth or must I put on my
old black gown?"
After making another careful horo
scope of the heavens, Thompson said:
-My dear, wear your black gown.
Yon will then be safe."
Thompson started for the city. Get

evidences of clearing weather.

I return. She will have lost an oppor
tunity to make Smith's wife green
with envy, for they are to meet on the

Two hours later, when the storra
burst In fury upon the city, Thompson
rubbed his hands In glee.
"Won't Mirandy thank me when I
get home! Again my reputation as a
weather prophet has been bolstered up
by tho elements."
Smith's wife wore her new brown
broadcloth suit. She didn't have her
waterproof with her, and her little um
brella was lnsufilclcat to protect her,
and she wns a "night to behold" when
she reached home, and Smith was
made wretched because he lacked
Thompson's muteorologic insight.
Trials of Abounding Wealth.
"So you envy me my wealth?" asked
Mr. Millions or Mr. Ilangoron.
"Is it not natural that 1 should?"
"os, considering that you do not
realize what disadvantages 1 have la
bored under' all through by life."
'l)i."ailvanU-.ije3! Why, you inherited
your millions. You have had every
advantage."
"That is the cause of my sorrow."
"Explain."
"Whenever 1 do anything people re
fuse to glvo mc credit for It. They say,
'He should do something great. Lool;
what a chance ho has had!'"
"That Is true."
"Besides, when I make love to a
true-hearted, noble girl, she Is afraid
to love me In return, lest people will
say she only loves me for my money."
"True again."
"And it I make love to a poor girl
I am considered cither a fool or a
scoundrel."
"Very well. Then you consider It bet
ter to earn millions than to inherit
them?"
"By no means. The man who earns
his millions Is a thief."
"True again."
"His struggles in business are heart
breaking, but ho gets no sympathy."
"Why not?"
"Because he is successful. The suc
cessful man never seems to have any
dimcultles to contend with. Everybody
tayg, 'How lucky he is!' "
"You have shown that wealth Is not
to bo desired."
"I hope so."
"Well, why not glvo up your mil
lions? Nothing could be easier."
"Will you give up desiring wealth?"
"I cannot."
"so more can I give up my millions."
"Then, being a millionaire must havo
Eonio redeeming features."
"Just one. It Is better form to bo

R. CI. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trado this week says :
The failures during the third quar
ter of 1897, obtained yesterday by
telegraph, were 2,903, with liabilities
of $28,963,261, of which twenty-nine
were in banking for $3,387,069.
Commercial failures, 2,874, with lia
bilities of $25,576,192 1 average only
$3,899 each, lower than any other
quarter for twenty-three years.
The amount of defaulted liabilities
is the smallest in any quarter for five
years, and in fifteen yeats only six
quarters have shown smaller liabilities.
Manufacturing failures, 651, with lia
bilities of $9,431,191 j average but
$14,487 each; and trading 2.164,
with liaDilities of $12,825,065, average

The volume of legitimate business
continues a little larger than in the
same month of 1892, for while the
great increase of 27.4 per cent, at
New York for the week might be sup

spite of the establishment and growth
of the stock exchange clearing house,
yet payments through the principal
clearing houses outside of New York

and two per cent for September.

The
Canadian government has
abandoned its scheme to compel
miners going into the Klondike dig
"incs to pay a royalty of from 10 to
15 per cent upon all gold mined by
them. The announcement that such
an attempt would be made called
forth vehement protests from the
politicians and business men of the
northwest and Pacific coast, who
realized that under existing conditions
such a policy could only lend to seri
ous trouble and probably bloodshed.
The storekeepers of British Colum

Democrats
Pick Candidates far Officers of
Greater Nov York.
The Democratic convention for
ew York Citv on Thursday night
nominated Robert A Van Wick for
mayor, Bird S. Coler for comptroller
and Jacob C. Ruppert, Jr., for presi
dent of the council, of Greater New
York.
The platform adopted practically
gnores the national issues, declaring
at the outset : "We regard as the
supreme issue of the municipal cam
paign the inauguration of a wise,
liberal, honest and Democratic gov
ernment in place of the present cost
ly, wasteful, illiberal and inellicient
administration."
The "prodigality, inefficiency and
hypocrisy ol the present city admin
istration is condemned, and it is said
to have produced, "a corrupt, ex
pensive, fractious, discordant, intoler
ant and incapable government, that
has impaired the credit, increased and
augmented the debt of the city."
The platform declares for home
rule in city government and de
nounces the dictation of the state
legislature in municipal affairs. Laws
that "curtail the personal liberty of
the citizen in the practice of innocent
customs and in the pursuit uf harm
less pleasures'' are condemned and
their liberal administration is demand
ed until they are repealed.
The Raihes liquor law is condemn
ed as in (unions and imoierani, sub
versive of personal liberty and injun
ous to business interests, while en
cuuracinti intemperance and failing
to suppress vice. Its prompt repeal
is demanded. Trusts are denounced
as fatal to the prosperity of the
people.

Medical journals are now insisting
upon more consideration being given
to the treatment of measles. Next to
tuberculosis it should receive the most
attention, because of the great mortal

other diseases. It has been common

may in part account for its great pre
valence. That measles and whooping
cough are allowed to exist practically
unchecked, among the poorer classes
in our cities and crowded towns, as

a mistake. .

before the district attorney, with a
view to asking the judge to issue a
similar order.
The episode which entangled these
eight young people in the matrimonial
net has kept the people ot Seven
Rivers at a high pitch of excitement
for weeks past. While at a dance T,
E. Hawlev. Thomas Wilson and two
other young men got into a matrimon
ial banter with their respective sweet
hearts and decided to have a mock
marriage. They called upon a patri
archal looking man in the assembly to
perform the ceremony, which was
done with due solemnity, and when it
was done it turned out that the man
who performed the rites was a duly
qualified justice of the peace from an
adjoining precinct.
The girls became alarmed. 1 heir
parents hurried them home, and next
day certificates of marriage were duly
filed by the justice in-the county
clerk's office. Then the parents of
the girls took legal advice and filed
suits to have the mock marriages
annulled.
IN TERROR OF HYDROPHOBIA-
Alarming Caso of Willio Jordan's Father,
Whom Ho Scratched.
Alarming symptoms, indicating the
first stages of hydrophobia, have set
in the case of Tohn T. Tordan, of
Scranton, whose little son Willie
scratched him on the arm just before
dying with rab'es in its most aggravat
ed form, on Friday last. The prompt
cauterizing of the abraded arm just
after it had been scratched by the
dying lad's finger nails was unavailing.
lhe injured member has kept on
swelling and growing more painful,
and the symptoms are such as to
cause great anxiety to Mr. Jordan's
familv and physicians.
Drs. Wehlan and Brady accordingly
decided to send Mr. Tordan forthwith
to the Pasteur Institute, New York,
and he started for there on an early
train Friday morninj.
Willie Jordan was the third boy to
die out of 1 1 who were bitten- by the
same dog early in the month of I
March last. The terrible deaths of
the juvenile trio, and the alarming
symptoms that have intervened since
Willie scratched his father's arm on
Friday, have caused the parents and
friends of the remaining eight boys
who were bitten to become almost
distracted with anxtetv. It is, of
course, now too late for any antitox-

A Good Story.
I was sitting on a keg of nails in a
West Virginia mountain store watch
ing a native dickering with the mer
chant over a trade of a basket of eggs
for a calico dress. After some time
a bargain was closed, the native walk
ed out with the dress in a bundle under
his arm and I followed him.
"It isn't any business of mine," I
said, "but I was watching that trade
and was surprised to see you let the
ecus co for the dress."
"What fer ?" he asked in astonish
ment, as he mounted his horse.
"How many eggs did you have ?"
"Basketful."
"How many dozen ?"
"Dunno : can't count."
"That's where you mis3 the advan
tages of education. With knowledge
you might have cot two dresses for
those eggs."
"But I didn't want two dresses, mis
ter," he argued.
"Perhaps not, but that was no rea-
sn why you should have paid two
prices for one. The merchant got
the advantage of you because of his
education. He knew what he was
about."
He looked at me lor a minute, as
if he felt real sorry for me. Then he
crinned and pulled his horse over
close to me.
"I reckon," he half whispered, cast
ing furtive glances toward the store,
"his eddication ain't so much more'n
mine ex you think it is. He don't
know how many uv them aigs is spiled,
an I do." And he rode away before
I could argue further. Boston Herald.
