The total quantity of rubber export ed to Europe from the Amazon river during the year 1903-'O4 was 36,061,- 482 pounds, against 33,643,537 pounds during the previous year, and 33,253,- 109 pounds were exported to the Unit ed States, against 32,112,116 pounds during the previous year. The total export figures are 67,314.591 pounds for 1903-'O4 and 05,756,048 pounds for 1902-'O3. From Tzaritzyn, a town on the Vol ga, comes the report that a new in dustry has been discovered, that of making caviar from the spawn of a large species of frog which is found there. It is stated that in appearance and taste there is no difference be tween frog's caviar and the best prod uct of the sturgeon. A big inland trade is going on iu this article, and it will soon bo exported. The average quantity of wine pro duced in Spain annually in the last ten years is 557,251,000 gallons. In 1900 the product was 596,866,000 gal lons. This decrease in the vintage represents a loss of nearly $30,000,- 000 a year to the wine growers, which explains the crisis in the wine-produc ing districts. Fortunately, this year's vintage promises to be abundant and to compensate for past losses. A contrivance which enables otia to catch the gamest trout with a mir ror has been patented by a man in East Greewich, R. I. The idea of the invention is to make the fish see him self in a mirror behind the bait. Im agining that the bait is to be snapped up by another fish, he hastens to se cure it himself, and the hook at the same time. At present there is no testimony to the value of the inven tion In practice. The long-pending plan to connect Singapore with Penang by railroad is about to be carried out. Part by part the road has been built through the Federated Malay States, but un til recently the sultan of Johore, whose sultanate separates the Feder ated Malay States from the Island of Singapore, has not favored railroad connection. The sultan's objections having been overcome, it is expected that the road will be completed with in four or five years. Realizing that a crowless rooster was a long-felt want of poultry lovers, Farmer Charles Ross, a Burnwood (Pa.) farmer, has risen to the occa sion and bred a crowless rooster, or, rather, a mute male fowl. Farmer Ross has two samples of the crowless bird, both full grown and silent. Neither has made any other unseem ly noise up to date. Whether they are deaf and dumb Ross does not know, but they can't, don't or won't crow. In all other respects they are like oili er roosters. The crowless fowls are hybrids. Dogs trained to catch fish are among the features of everyday life on the barren shores of that distant part of Labrador which belongs to Newfoundland. The cod fisheries along the 1,100 miles of Labrador's coast yield about one-fifth of New foundland's total catch and furnish employment annually to thousands of fisher folk. They fish with lines from 150 to 200 fathoms long, two men to a boat, and each man using two hand lines. The usual bait is capelin. When fish are plentiful it takes a very short time to fill a boat with cod. Over a copper wire in the house of a Portland man is apparently sent a •dear, distinct image of a living face whose original is a dozen yards away. It is an attachment to a short tele phone line, and by the complete ap paratus it is possible to talk over the wire and at the same instant see the movements of the lips that are fram ing an answer in the next room and the expression on the face of the speaker. In truth, it is seeing by telephone. J. 15. Fowler, the inventor, after 28 years of application, has par tially perfected the apparatus. The great importance of Prof. Pick ering's photographs and the conclu sions he draws from them is that they show the possibility of life on the moon, because, if th<'.v are correct, they prove that the moon has an at mosphere containing the vapor of wa ter. In other words, if the moon has snow and clouds it may have organic life —vegetation, as he believes —and if vegetation, then animal life. This idea, in itself, is revolutionary, for the moon has almost universally been re garded as an absolutely and hopeless ly <!e ad, frozen, asphyxiated world MAKING THE RECORD. _ - ' LITTLE BITS OF HISTORY. A Few Events by Wliich to Measure Candidate Davis' Protracted Experience. The Chicago Tribune seems to be deep ly impressed by Candidate Davis' long life.

WHICH ONE OF THE TWO? Why Wise Voters Will Not Hesitate to Elect Roosevelt Instead of Parker. The "fierce light that beats about the throne" is a penny dip when compared with the electric searchlight that is turned on any citizen who is nominated for the presidency. This is entirely correct, and no light, not even an X-ray, is too great to bring to bear on the one it is proposed to ele vate to the greatest positien of respon sibility and power on earth. We have before us at this time, say? the American Dairyman, two gentle men, one of whom is to be placed in that exalted station, the other necessarily relegated to comparative obscurity. One of these has been prominently be fore the people ever since he came to the age of manhood, and is one of the best known citizens in this country, who has filled subordinate or minor political positions in such a manner as to inspire his fellow-citizens with confidence in his integrity and ability, and, who, finally reaching the highest one in the land through an event that was truly de plofable, brought to that most trying of all possible positions an ability that commanded the respect of even those who were the most opposed to the prin ciples of his parly. He is a man of brains, of education, of ceurage and of experience. The inter ests of the nation are safe in his hands. He is an ideal American gentleman, with faults of his own, not a demi-god. but true and faithful to every trust, and worthy of the confidence and esteem of his countrymen. Opposed to him is a most estimable gentleman, of fine personal character, against whom as such not one word can be said. He is a student, and one who has had the ambition of winning respect as a careful, itprigto and capable judge, which he has already attained. With no special knowledge of or experience in executive positions, and with a reputa tion of being negative rather than pos itive. he has been stated as possessing a "judicial" mind, one so evenly balanced that he cannot be a partisan. Whether these are qualifications to fit him for the presidency is very properly a question to consider, and when the environments of the two candidates are looked at, the personnel of their advisers and the principles of the two parties they rep resent, and the very probable disastrous consequences that would follow a change in the policy of the government are considered, it is not too much to pre dict that the voters will select the one who has proved himself capable rather than one whose experience and training have not been such as to prepare him for the heavy responsibility of the office for which he is a candidate. Democracy in Sad Plight. What we may know for sure is that the country does not regret any of the leading achievements of the past eigl.t years of republican rule. Wespeakthus confidently, for the democratic party now stands confessed before the coun try as having been in error in its oppo sition to the most important of these measures. It is seeking the election with a platform which virtually con fesses that the party was wholly wrong in the last two presidential campaigns. It has a candidate who openly confesses that it.was wrong in every vital partic ular. It comes pleading that it has seen the error of its ways and that as a re formed bungler it can safely be trusted with power. It has no argument or charge to make against the general sum of republican politics.—Kansas City Journal. What Mr. Davis Has to Say. The sum and substance of Mr. Davis' letter is that what the country needs ia not a change in policies, but a change in parties. Mr. Davis rejoices in the things that have been done and are be ing done by the present administration, but. he seems to fancy that the demo crats ought to be given a chance to show that they can hold office without dis turbing the machinery of state which the republicans have got into such fine running condition. Mr. Davis is dream ing beautifully, and the voters will be careful not to waken him.—Chicago Post. Candidates Cannot Agree. And now the head and tail do not agree. Judge Parker swallows the dem ocratic platform whole, including tho plank which declares protection to be robbery, while Mr. Davis, the octoge narian candidate for vice president, who comes from West Virginia, where tariff sentiment is strong, is out for "inci dental protection." The American peo ple. who believe in protection out and out, will settle it by rejecting both and electing the republican candidates, who are agreed on this as 011 all other ques tions of great public concern.—Cleve land Leader. TRIAL OF A LABOR LEADER. THE PROSECUTING WITNESS IS GUARDED BY DETECTIVES. Weinseimer's Trial Brings Out the Fact that Defendant Threatened to Kill the Man Who Paid Him $2,700 to Call Off a Strike. New York, Oct. 14.—George J. Essig, I the complaining witness in the extor | tion charge against Philip Weinseimer, | in the trial before Judge Newburger, is | protected by a guard of county de | tectives. That. Essig has been threatened j with injury and was bodily assaulted | became known Thursday. Essig said ! that shortly after Weinseimer's In ! dictment In August he received threat ! ening letters and that since his testi ! mony against Weinseimer more letters have been received. About three | weeks ago he was assaulted by three i strange men near his house, beaten l over the head and seriously injured. The story of a threat alleged to have I been made by Weinseimer to "use a I gun if anything happened," was told j Thursday by Essig in the court of gen j eral sessions where Weinseimer is on ■ trial. It was on a complaint brought I by Essig that Weinseimer was arrest, j ed, and it was during the cross-exami nation of tho chief witness for the ! prosecution by Weinseimer's counsel ! that the story was told. Essig had told of his alleged dealings with Wein seimer, claiming that he paid the de fendant $2,700 for calling off a strike. The last payment, he said, was made I in Weinseimer's office in marked bills, the day the labor leader was arrested. After the transaction had been com | pleted and while they were going ; down the elevator from Weinseimer's | office, Essig said, Weinseimer turned to him and said: "I've got a lot of friends, and if anything happens they will make the people responsible sweat for it. I can use a gun as well as anyone else." Essig said Wein seimer was very much excited at the time and before the elevator had reached the lower floor, again turned to his companion and said: "You know that you are as guilty as I am." When they stepped from the elevator detectives were at hand, and at a nod from Essig they placed Weinseimer under arrest. A NARROW ESCAPE. The Duke of Connaught, Brother of King Edward, Is Thrown Out of an Automobile. Edinburgh, Oct. 14. —Tho Duke of Connaught, brother of King Edward, while driving in a motor car from Ed inburgh to Gosford House, ihe seat of the Earl of Wemyss, had a narrow es cape from death and suffered painful injuries, from which he was for a time unconscious. The automobile in which the duke was riding with his aide-de-camp, Maj. Murray, in passing a street car ; collided with a cart. The overhanging portion of the cart struck the rear seat of the automobile and literally carried away that section of the vehicle. The duke was thrown out with great force. As soon as the automobile could be stopped Maj. Murray went to the aid of the duke, whom he found uuconsci i ous and bleeding from wounds about | the head. A second automobile, carry ing members of the duke's suite, came up and the duke was taken back to j Edinburgh in it. By the time the au tomobile reached Edinburgh the duke ; had recovered and was able to walk I into the hotel. After two stitches ! were taken in his ear and his hurts | had been examined by physicians it : was announced that the duke would | suffer no serious consequences. Chicago to Have the Biggest Hotel. Chicago, Oct. 14. —Chicago is to have the largest hotel in the world. It will cost $10,000,000, be i! 2 stories high and dwarf in size and magnificence any structure of tho kind ever erected. The owners will be a syndicate of Chi cago and eastern capitalists headed by Otto Young. The hotel will occupy property measuring 400 feet in length by 171 feet in deplh in Michigan ave ! nue, two blocks south of tho Auditori um. Steel construction will be used in building the new hotel, which will be the highest building in Chicago in point, of stories, with the exception of tho Masonic Temple. Schooner Driven on a Bar. Chatham, Mass., Ocl. 11.—A terrific sea, the result of a three days' north easter, drove onto Chatham outer bar at S o'clock last night an unknown three-masted schooner, which the life savers were unable to reach and which at a Into hour last night they feared I would goto pieces before morning, j The vessel had lights in the cabin 1 when she struck the bar, but the life ! savers were unable to get any re -1 sponse to their hails, nor answers to their signals. The schooner went ashore at low water. SIOO,OOO Fire Loss. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 14. —Fire yes terday destroyed three buildings of ! the plant, of the United Zinc and Chemical Co. at Argentine, Kan., a I suburb, causing a loss of SIOO,OOO. !

Red mond, newly arrived from his Ameri can tour, reached Dublin last night he was escorted to the rooms of the Uni ted Irish league by torch bearers and enthusiastic crowds. Addressing a meeting of the league, Mr. Redmond emphasized tho unexpected success that, had attended his visit to America. He said he believed there was nothing I the Irish party could not ask from America so long as they avoided dis sension and pursued a sensible policy J In pressing towards the great goal of | independence. THE UNITED STATES "WILL SOON KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF CANADA FOR WHEAT. A Crop of G0,000,000 Bushels of Wheat Will Be the Record of 1904. The results of the threshing in Western Canada are not yet com pleted, but from information at hand, It is safe to say that the average per acre will be reasonably high, and a fair estimate will place the total j-ield of wheat at 60,000,000 bushels. At pres ent prices this will add to the wealth of the farmers nearly $60,000,000. Then think of the immense yield of oats and barley and the large herds of cattle, for all of which good prices will be paid. The following official telegram was cent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min ister of the Interior, to Lord Strath cona, High Commissioner for Can ada: — "Am now able to state definitely that under conditions of unusual diffi culty in Northwest a fair average crop of wheat of good quality has been reaped and is now secure from sub stantial damage. The reports of in jury by frost and rust were grossly ex aggerated. The wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Territories will aggre gate from fifty-five to sixty million bushels. The quality is good, and the price is ranging around one dollar per bushel." Frank H. Spearman, in the Saturday Evening Post, says: "When our first transcontinental railroad was built, learned men at tempted by isothermal demonstration to prove that wheat could not profit ably be grown north of where the line was projected: but the real granary of the world lies up to 300 miles north of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and the day is not definitely distant when the United States will knock at the doors of Canada for its bread. Rail road men see such a day; it may be hoped that statesmen also will see It, and arrange their reciprocities while they may do so gracefully. Americans already have swarmed into that far country and to a degree have taken the American wheat field with thein. Despite the fact that for years a little Dakota station on the St. Paul road —Eureka—held the distinction of be ing the largest primary grain market in the world, the Dakotas and Minne sota will one day yield their palm to Saskatchewan.

Dr. I.npponl r*e» Dr. William** Pink Pills In His Practice liecause Results Meet Ills Expectations. Dr. Lapponi, the famous physician to the Vatican, whose name has recently come so greatly to the front on account of his unremitting attention to His Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and tho high esteem and confidence with which ho is regarded by the present Pope, His Holiness Pius X, is a man of commanding genius. Ho is more than a mere man of science; ho is a man of original and independent mind. Ull - by tho "etiquette" of tho medical profession and having used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in his practice with good results, ho freely avows the facts and endorses the value of I bis remedy with an authority which no one will venture to question. Dr. Lappor.i's Letter. "I certify that I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in four cases of tho simple anaemia of develop ment. After a few weeks of treat ment, the result came fully up to my expectations. For that reason I shall not fail in tho future to extend the use of this laudable preparation not only in the treatment of other forms of the category of amemia or chlorosis, but also in cases of neuras thenia and tho like." (Signed) GIUSEPPE LAPPONI, Via dei Gracchi 332, Rome. The "simple anaunia of development,* referred to by Dr. Lapponi, is of course, that tired, languid condition of young girls, whose development to womanhood is tardy and whose health, at that period, is so often imperiled. His opinion of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People at that time is of the highest scientific authority, and it con firms the many published cases in which anaemia and other diseases of the blood, as well as ne»'Vous diseases such as ner vous prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia ha-e been cured by these pills. They are commended to the public for their efficiency in making now blood and utrengtheniug weak nerves. After such an endorsement they will be ac- 1 cepted by tho medical and scientiiio 1 World at their full value. MEXICAN Mustang Liniment for Man, Beast or Poultry. A NEW FLYING MACHINE.
