In theflt>. sens ible people who
have been hoping that the movement
of villagers and country people to the
large cities had been checked* writes
John Habberton, in the. Saturday
Evening Post. What is the meaning
of the continuous rush to the cities?
The old explanation was that farm
ers' eons and daughters wearied of
work that was never finished; they
had heard of city demands for labor
and of city wages, payable always in
cash and at stated dates. They had
also heard of city pleasures, some of
V'hich were said to cost nothing, while
others were very cheap. But young
people do not constitute the whole
body of people who are crowding into
the cities, for mechanics and artisans
of all kinds are in the throng, for in
the villages and country districts em
ployment is irregular and pay uncer
tain. The more aspiring of them hope
for the larger opportunities and rec
ognition that the countrj- dares not
promise; they know, too, that such
of their children as incline to study
may become fairly, even highly, edu
cated in the city without special cost
to their parents. Of the "seamy" side
of city life they know nothing, for
their acquaintances who "went to
town" have not returned to tell of it;
few of them could return if they
jvoukL The few who go back to the
old homesteads are the men who
have succeeded, and in any village
Buch a man in effect resembles a gold
laden miner from Cape Nome or the
Klondike; his example threatens to
depopulate the town. Nevertheless,
the rural districts are not going to
be depopulated, except when their soil
is very poor and their malaria over
rich. A countryward movement start
ed in some cities a few years ago, and
It has been increasing in volume; it
may be almost invisible in some local
ities, for 3,000,000 square miles is an
area so great that any city's overflow
might be lost in it. The men who are
trying scientific farming are all from
the cities and they have carried their
city ideas with them. As a rule, city
brain and city money are suggesting
and backing the rural attempts to have
good roads, pure water, perfect drain
age, high farming, high-grade schools,
free libraries and many other amel
iorations of old-time conditions. Yet
in one respect the city man in the
country is a disappointment to all
classes of the dissatisfied, for when
they talk of going to the city lie per
sistently says "Don't," and he sup
ports his advice with a dismal array
of facts and figures.

Washington, Nov. 5. — Brig. Gen.
fieorg< M. liandall, commanding the
Department of Alaska, lias submit ted
'lis annual report. A great deal of
liie report is devoted to conditions at
Nome, which he found upon his arri
val at a critical stage. It was dii'i
eult to obtain convictions i»,v ,i llr .y
trial in the United States commission
er's court which emboldened the law
less.
Fully 18,000 people arrived at Nome
in .June. Claim jumping was the or
der of the day. Nearly every one
seemed to think he had a divine right
10 take possession of a claim fir town
lot wherever found. Many property
owners were disposed to defend their
lights by taking the law in their own
hands. The arrival of troops pre
vented bloodshed and serious disor
der.
There were 500 men working on
the beach at Nome with machinery at
one time and many declined io give,
answers concerning the prospects for
gold, while others admitted tiny were j
taking out only from $4 to $0 a day. |
The beach was practically worked out
last year. The tundra is believed to
be rich, but it would require large
« apital to produce results. There is a
Jorge area of country which has not
fi en prospected, where gold can yet
be found, but it Requires men °* ex "
rerience to develop such a country.
Gen. Kandall also has Ihe following
to say of relief to men who venture
to Alaska; "I am of the opinion that
11 would lie a mistake for the govern
ment to give any general aid in future
to the venturesome classes of white
men who come to Alaska. About 300
have been sent out on transports and
other vessels this year and many
more will be sent before the close of .
navigation. The conditions are now
generally known throughout the
states and the expectation of govern
ment aid in returning to their homes
in case of failure has without doubt
1-een the most hopeful prospect in
view to a considerable number who
have come to the country since 1897,
and especially in the recent rush to
Nome."
IT MARKS AN EPOCH.
Tlio Cuban Constitutional Convention ,
Assemble* In Havana,
Havana, Nov. 6.—The Cuban consti
tutional convention met in Hie Marti
theater Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Long before that hour the i

Senor Cisneros and Gen. Kiverc es
corted Gen. Wood to the platform and
he opened the convention.
"As military governor of Cuba and
representing the president of the Uni
ted States," he said, "I call this con
vention to order. It will l>e your
duty first of all to frame and adop." a
constitution for Cuba and. when that
has been done, to formulate what in
your opinion ought to be the relations
between Cuba and the United States.
"The constitution must be adequate
to secure stable, orderly and free
government. When you have formu
lated the relations which, in your
opinion, ought to exist between Cuba
and the United States, the govern
ment of the United Stales will doubt
less take such action on ils part as
shall lead to a final and authoritative
agreement between the people of the
■■wo countries to the promotion of
their common interests."
Before withdrawing Gen. Wood ap
pointed Senor Figuereo, under secre
tary of state, as temporary chairman.
The convention organized with
Senor Llorente, justice of the supreme
court, as president.

PROSPERITY ARGUMENT.
Hlr. Bryan It »v»» the Mont Po>
tent Factor Leading to tbe Urlrai oi
tbe Democracy.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 0. — William J.
Bryan last night gave out the follow
ing statement concerning' the elec
tion:
"The result was a surprise to me
and the magnitude ol the republican
victory was a surprise to our oppo
nents as well as to tliose who voted
our ticket. II is impossible to anal
yze the returns until they arc more
complete, but, speaking generally, we
seein to have gained in the large cit
ies and 1 o have lost in the smaller
cities and in the country.
"The republicans were able to se
cure tickets cr passes for all their
voters who were away from home and
ibis gave them considerable advan
tage. We ha\e no way of knowing fit
this time how much money was spent
in the purchase of votes and in coloni
zation. lint while these would account
for some of the republican gains,
they could not account for the wide
spread increase in the republican
vote. The prosperity argument was
probably the most potent one used l>y
the republicans. They compared
present conditions with the panic
limes of '93 to '!> C and this argument
had weight with those who did not
stop to consider the reasons for the
change. The appeal, 'Stand by the
president while the war is on' had a
great "leal of influence among those
who did not realize that a war against
a doctrine of self-government in the
Philippines must react upon us in this
country. We made .in honest tight
upon an honest platform and, having
I done our duty as we saw it, we ha\e
nothing to regret.
"We are defeated, but not discour
aged. The fight must goon. I am
sure that republican policies will be
iepudiated by the people when the
tendencies of these policies are fully
understood. The contest between plu
tocracy and democracy cannot end
until one or the other is completely
triumphant."
Concerning himself Mr. Bryan said:
"I have come out of the campaign
with perfect health and a clear eon
science. I did my most to bring suc
cess to the principles fcr which I
stood. Mr. Stevenson did all that lie
could; Senator Jones and the mem
bers of the democratic, populist, sil
ver republican and anti-iinperialist
committees did. all they could. Mr.
Hearst and bis associates in (lie club
organization put forth their best ef
forts. Our newspapers. our campaign
speakers and our local organizations
all did their part. I have no fault to
fnd and no reproaches.
"I shall continue to take ail active
interest in politics as long as I live. I
believe it to be the duly of citizens to
do so. and in addition to an interest
as a citizen I feel that it will require
a lifetime of work to repay the polit
ical friends who have done so much
for me.
"1 shall not be a senatorial candi
date before the legislature which has
been elected. Senator Allen deserves
file senatorship which goes to the
populists. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. W.
Tl. Thompson are avowed candidates
for tiie senatorship. They both de
serve well of the party and I air. 100
! grateful to them for past support to
stand in their way. even if I desired a
seat in the senate."
Mr. Bryan said be has no other
plans al present than to remain at
home until be had recovered from the
fatigue of campaigning. He denied
the report that he would remove
from Nebraska and make Texas his
home.
A STEAMSHIP COMBINE.
A Deal Ik Said to be Pending tliat In

JVlllllon* ol Ilollorn.
Baltimore, Nov. 9.—Rumors were
current Thursday concerning a com
bination of trans-Atlantic steamship
companies which will invoive several
companies and many millions of dol
lars. It was said that the Atlantic
Transport Co., which operates lines
of steamships bet ween New ork,
Philadelphia. Baltimore and London
will be a part of the combination.
Color is given to the rumor by the
strength of Atlantic Transport Co.
stock on the exchange yesterday.
There was an active inquiry for it on
the hoard, but the only sale recorded
in the early dealings was ten share--,
at 150, an advance of 15 points com
pared with the last preceding sale.
Since August 30 the stock has risen 45
point s.
Details of the deal are carefully
guarded, but it is understood that the
stockholders of the Atlantic Trans
port Co. will receive more than s2ou
per share for their holdings, in the
event of a consummation of the deal.
The Atlantic Transport Co. has in
service now 17 vessels, ranging in ton
nage from 4,250 to 13,240. The Min
netonka and the Minnewaska, now
building at Belfast, Ireland, will l>e.
launched next spring and placed in
the New York-London trade. They
will be 13,240-ton vessels and similar
in design to those now building for
the company by Maryland Steel Co.

Function* In l-jinlanU.
London, Nov. 10. —What is probably
the most brilliant of all public func
tions in England, the lord mayor's
banquet, took place last evening'. It
will be memorable even to Americans
by reason of the following remark
able utterance of Lord Salisbury,
who, in the presence of 900 guests,
including United States Ambassador
(hoate, the members of the British
cabinet and many of the leading men
of Kngland, spoke hj follows of the
American elections:
"We believe that the cause which
has won is the cause of civilization
and commercial honor. We believe
those principles to be at the root of
all prosj>erity and all progress iu the
world. Therefore we claim that we
have as much right to rejoice in what
has taken place as the distinguished
gentleman (referring to Mr. ('hoate)
who sits at my side."
This was followed by loud and pro
longed cheering.
Except in its references to the ("lu
ted States, the speech of the premier
cast an extraordinary gloom over the
gorgeous banquet. Following direct
ly after the colonel commanding the
City Imperial volunteers, Lord Salis
bury startled nis hearers by satiriz
ing the war fever, although praising
the courage of the soldiers and de
claring that the passionate admira
tion of military valor evidenced by
the populace must produce a change
of attitude 011 the part of the outside
world when viewing English charac
ter.
Then, with lowered voice, he went
011 to speak of the price of victory
and the ravages of death, dealing es
pecially with the queen's bereave
oient in the loss of Prince Christian
\ ictor. Finally he uttered a hope,
almost a prayer, that Lord Roberts
might, be spared the sorrow now
hanging over him by reason of the
critical condition of bis daughter.
Tears sprang to the eyes of women,
and men moved uncomfortably in
their seats. The silence and solemn
ity grew oppressive.
The premier reviewed the events of
the last 12 months. Mr. Kruger and
the empress of China, he went 011 to
say, had forced war upon Great Brit
nin. He maintained that the British
war office deserved great credit for
the way in which it had handled these
emergencies.
'Despite nebulous and fictitious at
tacks, we should be glad to improve
all the defects of the war office," be
continued, "and our utmost efforts
will be devoted to that task; but I
should rather deprecate any unneces
sary examination into what has oc
curred. You will not add to the en
thusiasm of your troops by so doing."
He maintained earnestly that the
idea of invading China with "our
scanty force," or "of approaching the
stupendous task of governing China
instead of leaving it to be governed
by the Chinese," was most dangerous.
Relapsing into pessimism. Lord Sal
isbury admitted that the trend of re
cent events has almost put an end to
1 ;ie hopes of the Russian emperor and
others who took part in the peace
conference at The Hague. Ilis speech
closed with a fervid appeal fo the peo
ple of England to maintain their de-
Censes in such a perfect condition
that "we shall not be exposed to any
sudden interruption of tliepeaee upon
which our prosperity depends."
The majority of Salisbury's hearers
believed that this warning referred to
ilie possibility of French antagonism.

HOW WEAK CHILDREN ARE MADE
STRONG, VIGOROUS AND WELL_
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas nnllows, of Peckham St., Globe Village, Fall River,
Mass., have cause to thank Dr. Greene's Nervura for restoring to health, and
probably preserving the life of their little son. Almost from infancy Everett
Hallows was troubled with indigestion and nervous troubles, and nothing
seemed to help him. Finally Dr. Greene's Nervura was recommended and tried
with success. A few bottles were suflicient to effect a cure, and to-day the little
one is enjoying the best of health. By the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura the
sickly child was transformed into a happy, hearty, robust boy.
Or. Greene's
Nervura
Thousands of other children can thank Dr. Greene and his wonderful
remedy for the strength and health they enjoy. Children to whom it is given
have less sickness, better health, better growth, and longer and more vigorous
lives. Barents should realize that it is their duty to give it to every child who
is not in perfect health. There are no diseases more dreaded by parents than
fits, epilepsy, and St. Vitus' dance. Yet no child would be troubled by them
if Dr. Greene's Nervura were given when the first symptoms appear.
Charles L, Mcßay, a highly esteemed police
officer, who resides at 14 Myrtle Sim, New Bedford,
Mass., says:
" About two years ago my little daughter became run down in health and suffered
from St. Vitus' dance. Soon after she was prostrated by rheumatism, which severely
affected her low limbs.
"After trying various remedies without obtaining relief, she began taking Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and experienced immediate benefit. She
continued its use, and after taking five bottles her rheumatism was practically cured. Her
appetite returned, her pains disappeared, she was again able to walk without lameness, her
general health was restored, and she was able to attend school and to play like other
children."
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is the prescription and
discovery of the well-known Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street 5 New York
City, who is the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous
and chronic complaints, and he can be consulted in any case, free of charge,
personally or by letter.
