That's just the condition of any
man who wants to push his busi

regard to advertising. Those who
are shrewdest select the best me
diums and advertise judiciously.
Such wise advertisers are found
every month in the columns of the
Evening Herald. They know its
worth. They know that it is
the only daily in the largest town
in the county. These shrewd and
clever advertisers know what they
are about. They are never "afoot

Anotjikk good man gono wrong. This

who is in a peck of trouble and two law suits
because ho violated the commandment, "Thou

the good gossips are discussing it as a sweet
morsel, both parties being wealthy and promi
nent. The demoralization of the Democratic
party in Kentucky is so great that it looks
very probable tho Republicans will carry that
stronghold of the Democracy this fall and
elect a Governor and state officers. Tho op
position to Gorman in Maryland also looks
very encouraging to tho Republicans, who
liave a very strong ticket nominated and
liave perfected a good organization for activo
work.
Lehiqu county yesterday voted to send
llastings-Gilkcson delegates to the state
convention. This winds up the elections and
both sides still claim they aro ahead. The
administration forces aro holding conferences
-while the Governor is soliciting delegates
.known to be committed for Quay to consult
with him Tuesday morning. Straws of this
kind disprove the claims so loudly made that
they have a majority. Tho convention
likely to be an exciting one as no such con.
test has been waged for years. Congressman
Jack Robinson, of Media, is likely to be tho
Quay candidate for temporary chairman, and
as that officer will name the committee on
credentials, this will bo the test vote which
-will settle tho question of supremacy.
PENNSYLVANIA'S WEALTH.
Some facts and figures recently set forth hy
government geologists concerning the fuel
resources of tho couutry, and particularly of
our own state, make interesting reading.
It is shown that the production of coal in
tliis country in the past fifteen years has
reached an aggregate of 1,783,874,284 gross
tons. The anthracite region in Eastern
Pennsylvania, which covers only four buii
dred and eighty square miles, yielded 510,370,
258 tons, or nearly thirty per cent, of this
total, and the 0,000 squaro miles of bitumin
-oub coal area in Pennsylvania produced 470,
807,700 gross tons. Of both bituminous and
anthracite coal Pennsylvania has produced
-during tlio past fifteen years 090,238,037 gross
tons, or over fifty-five per cent, of the entl
output of tho couutry.
The first thought of tho average reader on
contemplating these enormous figures natur
ally is that such a drain upon tho supply must
in a comparatively short time exliaust tho
latter. Hut the calculations of Dr. H. M.
Chance, of the Pennsylvania geological
survey, are likely to dispel fears on that
part.
Dr. Chance assort that flio untouched re
servo of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania
mounts to about 33,547,000,000 gross tons.
Tlio 470,807,709 tons of soft coal which have
been mined during the list fifteen scats,
therefore., represent only about ono-foiirth
pur cent, of what remains. At tho rate of
production of the past year tlio bituminous
coal supply of Pennsylvania would last nearly
1,000 years; and that (shut a small fraction
of the fuel resources upon which this coun
try draw as necessity demands.
FINANCE AND TRADE.
Industrial Troubles Less Threatening and
l'toipenta tiuoil for Fall Trade.
New Youk, Aug. Si. U. G. Dun &
Co.'s wookly review of trade says: Tho
volume, of business Bhrinks.ns Is natural In i
Ar-rust, and tiio shrinkage seems rather
larger than usual because transactions
In July were soinowhnt inflated for that
month. Somo Industries aro doing more
than over before In August, Mid tho pros
pects for fall trade is good In others, al
though much depends on the crops, and
the outcome Is less clour than speculators
on either sido aro disposed to admit. In
dustrial troubles ham not entirely coased,
but during the past week have become
much loss threatening.
It Is certainly a relief to turn to the
great In Jus tries, In which the enormous
orders placed some weeks or months ago
causo phenomonal activity for the season.
In iron, notwithstanding some uneasi
ness because the output has greatly in
creased, heavy purchases by two leading
companies have advuncod the prico of
Bossamer steel fifty cents, and a new com
blnatlon has raised galvanized barbed
wire to $1.80, while combinations are
being formed in wire rods and common
wire, and advance in prices is expected.
Failures for tho week have boon 223 in
the United States, against 234 for the same
week last yoar, and 43 in Canada, against
831astyear.SS3
Bradstruots' review says: Tho volumo
of gonorul trade throughout tho east,
south, southwest and on the Pacific coast
Is no larger in volume. In fact, at sev
eral southern nnd eastern centors rather
more of qulot is roported than a week ago,
At westorn and central western points,
with somo exceptions, signs are conspicu
ous of the favorablo Influence on businoss
of the prospectively enormous Indian com
crop and the vory large harvest of spring
wheat. At the east stimulating influ
ences are found in tho continued activity
in leading industrial Hues, notably iron
and steel.

BniSTOL, H. I., Aug. 21. Tho many ru
mors nnd reports which hnvo been printed
nnd circulated by othor moans In runny
quarters during tho past few days rogard-
ing the condition of tho yacht Dofondor
woro answorod last ovening by a posltlvo
statomont mado to an Associated Press
roportor by Prosldout John B.llorreschoff,
of tho Horreschoff Manufacturing com
pany, in which ho Hot only denied em
phtttically that there was any truth In
those reports, but declared that tho boat
had more than mot tho highest expecta
tions of her builders.
The sovcrat recent accidents which havo
happened to tho Defender, including tho
fact that sho has boon aground twice since
the unfortunate accldout at tho time of
her launching, and her withdrawal last
Tuesdayf rom the race with tho Gould boat,
have led many people to believe that the
designers and bulldors were sadly disap
pointed at tho outcomo of tholr labors.
Although tho Herreschoffs and members
of tho syndicate havo been fully cognizant
of publlo opinion, they have horotoforo
strenuously declined to mnko any denial.
Mr. Hcrrosohoff deplored tho fact that
such reports had found their way into
print, and Bald that in many of tho pub
lished storlos thoro had not been a par
ticle of truth.
"There is nothing the mattor with tho
Defender, and never has been any serious
trouble with her," said Mr. Herroschoff.
"Tho boat was ns sound as a dollar when
taken off of tho ways, and is just as sound
today. Tho reports that her hull has
been wrenched either on the ways or in
running aground, or in nny of tho trial
spins or racos, are unqualifiedly without
foundation.
"Tho breaking of tho first spar and
many of the slight accidents," Mr. Hor
reschoff continued, "wero unavoidable,
and wore not unexpected in a new boat.
The breaking of the gaff was tho only
sorious accident that has occurred. Asldo
from this everything has stood as firmly
as it could bo expected to stand on a new
boat."
"Last Tuesday, in tho race," Mr. Horre
schoff went on, "it becamo apparent that
tho mast stopped after tho previous acci
dent was scarcely strong enough for the
new rigging, and osipuclally in tho weather
that prevailed at that time, and in order
to prevent any possiblo accldout tho De
fender withdraw and was brought back
to Bristol that sho might bo thoroughly
overhauled nnd havo everything time
thut could bo done to anticipate any fu
ture accident, cspaclnlly after sho should
bo rigged with her stool boom and gaff.
"Assoou as the now mast Is put iu po
sition tho steel boom will bo put on, and
tho Defender will then be roauy to no her
duty in protecting tho America's cup
from tho Valkyrlo III."
Mr. HorroseholT remarked In conclusion:
"Thoro Is one thing that I want to make
as Impressive as possible, and that Is that
tho Defender has more than met tho high
est oxpoetnUoii? of her builders,"

Contractor Dakln or Syracuse Tells
of tho Final Success of a Ills
Untlcrtuklntr.
(From the Suraciite N. Y. rosf.)
Mr. George Dakln is a well-known con
tractor ftnl resident of Syrnctiso, nnd. a
representative business man of that city.
Our representative found him oversee
ing tlio sewer work at tlio Arsenal, and in
tho following interview lie describes how
ho has finally completed the biggest con
tract lie has over undertaken.
"Mr. Dakln, doesn't your business ex
poso you to many unhealthy conditions?"
" Yes, I am continually catching cold."
" Docs It affect your general health?"
" It lias brought on kidney disorders."
"Have you been troubled from that
source any length of tlmo?"
"I think it started during tlio war, in
which I took an activo part, and every
cold I catch has aggravated it."
" What wero the symptoms?"
"Lame back and troublo with tho kid
ney organism. I have doctored for years
nnd used nil kinds of remedies I heard of,
without relief. My case is as follows ":
"Somo little time ago I was iu a very
bad condition, hardly able to hobblo
around; I had been in Madison County
looklng nf tcr n contract there for the State";
I got very wet, and, as usual, was laid up.
I wns simply twisted way around nnu
doubled up on one side; when I attempted
to stand up it seemed as though I would
tear out ono of my kidneys; while in tljis
condition I saw Doan's Kidney Pills nd
vcrtiscd. Being almost desperate, I was,
willing to try anything for relief. I be
gan using them, and tho result was truly
wonderful. I feel as young as a boy, and
it is tho first tlmo in many years that I
havo been perfectly free from pain in tho
smau oi my uacu. ah urinary trouoies
gone. I am perfectly well, and no traces
of my former troublo remain. I gladly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills."
