',v.i In fact disturbances of this character are
ifx "itaitally repeated with mere or less violence
Y atvaml Umes, and men who envy notoriety
t , are apt te take advantage of the panic by
Jaazardlng a gueai at the date of a shake.
Then if one comes, belt ever se light, they
acquire disciples who eagerly watch their
words and leek upon them as the inspired
utterances of n prophet, or the accurate
conclusions of a man of sclence whose
wldem has outstripped his day and genera
tion. Mr. Wiggins, of Canada, with the
prudence that is the most admirable trait
of his character, does net venture te locnte
his prophecies near home, as In thn bvpmI
of fuihire his massacre by a disappointed
mob might ensue.
When men expect disaster and it don't
come they naturally feel Indignant nt the
waste of time and courage that has taken
rlace, and If it Is solely due te anyone man
they feel disposed te give him a little real
disaster as an antidote for his prophetic
fever.
But Wiggins is beyond the line, and ex
tradition cannot reach him. The govern gevern
ment should net fail te insert a clause in
the new treaty providing for the transfer
of fahe prophets. They Incite disorder,
demoralizing entire communities and caus
ing the less of millions of dollars while
thousands wait with bated breath the ad
vent of foretold calamities.
An astrouemer, Bichanl Procter, has
most vigorously deneuncal the reckless,
almost criminal talk of Mr. Wiggins, but
unfortunately that rascal lias aroused a
feeling of alarm among ign irant people
in the earthquake region who cannot
understand the reasons that men of
sounder scientific attainment give for re
jecting the earthquake prophecies.
An torenaut of New Orleans has deter
mined te profit by the Wiptjlin scare by cbarg
lng ten dollar for a lulloeri rliie te-dav.
The outline of a Canadian treaty lately
given by several prominent paper, proves te
bave been taken from a teukU drart sent by
tbe mother country te the dominion, and
even If correct Is of no value whatever, lle
Ing merely a nketch of a treaty that England
Illlclit. but that Canmln unit il.l- ,,.,..
would net approve. Partisan Republican
papers have net hesitated te make use of this
bogus treaty as a basis of attack en the ad
ministration, and If a real treatyappears they
are no doubt prepared te ignore all Important
changes and say "It is net se very different
atter all."
UunrtAii for the ladles or Uostenl They
leave their tall hats In tbe cloak room of the
theatre and permit the rest el the audience te
see the stage. May the faihien be swlitly lol lel lol
lewed. Tun freight discrimination question is te
be judicially pronounced upon in Pittsburg,
"ut uevr uu iriai me cae or uarper,
Speese A Ce., vs. the I C. A Y. read te re
cover some J2.1.000 alleged te be due becauv)
of discrimination in the price charged for
freight. The plaintill alleges that they pur
chased some 213 acres of land from the Char
tiers Bleck Ceal company, and began te op
erate the coal mines therein. During the
two years the plalutitl" were iu business they
shipped by the P. C. A Y. read some 40,000
tens of coal, for which they paid 20 cents per
ten. Owing te their inability te compete
with ether firms In the same Hue ei business
they sold their plant worth 110,000 ler 51,000.
They then discovered that there was an
agreement between the P. C. it Y and the
Chartlers Bleck Ceal company, under which
all purchases or leases from the latter named
company should be charged a uniform
freight, and that in violation of this agree
ment, Sanders A Ce., and ether firms had
been allowed a rebate of 5 cents per ten.
They figured up their less resulting from
this discrimination at f .3,000 and brought
suit for that amount. Such outrages will
cease when the ever growing louder cry of
Democratic enforcement of the constitution
penetrates ever the state.
Tms marvelous weather is the making of
prephets. If it had been announced en Mon
day that a heavy rain would fall in one part
of the city and tbeother part remain dry and
dusty, or if Wiggins had told us yesterday
that te-day would be cool, who would have
believed the prophecy ?
The discussion in the piges of the keien.
tifte Amerteati of the possibility of construct
ing a machine that would imitate the lllght
of birds, has aroused a Pittsburg wig maker
telling a challenge at the American assocla assecla assocla
tien ler the advancement of science, lie pro
poses te deposit Jl.OOOas a wager that he will
"produce a model which will rise without
the aid of balloon power " and will continue
its flight as long as the power of the spring
lasts. This Is net half se wonderful as it
sounds, for there are children's tevs, made et
a piece of twisted tin, which are shot Inte the
air and keep up their inotieu for seme sec
onds by the aid of a spring, but the Pitts
burg man proceeds te make the startling an an
neuncement that he will use the $1,000 for the
construction of a meter which will dispense
with all the difficulties el iprial navigation,
and will take him, with the acceptor of his
challenge, te California and back.
The treuble with tlying machines lies In
the necessity of having very light machinery
of great power, as these who have noticed the
Immense muscles of a birds wing well knew.
Steam engines are two heavy, electric mo me
eors lar lighter, but still tee heavy. New
comes this Pittsburg wig maker with the
claim that he has discovered a means of using
an atmospheric vacuum as a motive power.
Natural gas is net enough. Pittsburg wants
net only the earth but aUe the air.

age, ln the midst of a population which Ls

permanent influence and far-reaching power
te that of an editor who understands his voca

of the virtues of the genulne. Therefore we
hope the people will assist us te protect what

During that jvetled we have learned a creat

medium class goods require as close attention
as the very nnest that by close attention we
can raise the standard or this class or goods te a
hlgher piano without lnterlerlng with the Pres
ent Prices te our customers. In ether werdJ,
we think there It an opportunity te gire better
values than formerly without Interfering ln any
way with our rinest Trade. Uursales of medium
grade Beets and Shoes have Increased the last
two years beyond our expectations, and it Is our
earnest endeaver te still lncrcase our sale en
this class of goods, and te de this we have de
termined te keep belter grades Ulan has ever
been offered at Present Prices. In keeping a
harp lookout for Middle Class Goods we shall
net forget the Finer Grades. Some lines we have
