In New York there has been fairly active inquiry
for medium CRATES, but the finer descriptions have
been taken In moderate quantities only. The season,
however, is drawing near when Manufacturers enter
upon spring Styles and at that time the finer grades
are taken in preference. Holders manifest des re
to crowd their stocks on an unwilling market, pre-
terriDg 10 hold and take the chances later.
In Philadelphia the market is not characterized by
any great degree of activity, but the receipts hav Q
fallen off, and holders generally are firm in their
views. Fine is neglected, but for medium fleece,
combing and unwashed. there is fair inquiry.

How TO Get an Anne,i,e.

To a man or woman without an appetite, "the best
the market Affords presents little or no attractions
The sooner such hapless individual puts the castle
organ in condition to enjoy the edible comforts which
bountiful providence has provided, the more rea-
son there will be to feel grateful for the suggestion
To do this, inygorate the stomach with Hostetters
Stomach Btters, which will enable that organ to die
gest properly and, since good digestion is the parent
OF appetite, give birth to desire for food at the in
tervals appointed by nature. With chronic want of
appetite are usually associated nervousness, bilious
ness and constipation, three evils which speedily
overcome by the Bltters. All persons of a dyspeptc
or bilious tendency should use this healthful tonic
daily, or at least three four times week. pur-
suance of this course will soon insure and confirm a
radical change for the better in the condition of the
stomach and associate organs.

The DRUMMER Boy OF LUNDY's LANE
During the Canadian rebsllon-or ''Patriot's
War; as it was called-under William Lloyd
Mackenzie, in the winter of 1887 and 1898
Gen. Scott was sent to the frontier to zee that
the neutrality laws were observed. After
breaking up the camp on Navy Island he went
to Detroit, and spent night at Cleveland on
his way. In the evening he addressed a con-
course OF citizens in the dining room of the
American House. While relating what he had
just accomplished on the Niagara frontier, he
very naturally alluded to his former achieve
ments there, AMI especially to the battle of
Lundy's Lane. He gave an incident of the
battle that affected him very much at the time,
In the midst of the battle bis attention was
directed to two drummer boys who were in a
very exposed position. One drum had been
broken by the shot of the enemy, and the two
boys had hold of the other drum contendin,
for its possession. Just as the general sent IN
order them to more sheltered place a cannon
The survivor stood dazed, still holding he
drum, and looking atSthe body of his slain
companion PROSTATE at his feet General
Scott said it was one of the most affecting
scenes he had ever witnessed. Just after
me Ios battle and subsequently he had made
never been able to get any word of him
and be would now be delighted To
know what had become of him. At this iunc.
ture MI: JARVIS Hanks stepped forward and
said, "Gen Scott, l am that drummer bow" A
thrill ran through the room. Mr.. Hanks was
received by Gen. Scott with open arms. amid
the cheers and applause of the assembly. he
thsn briefly gave bis version of the story, which
he afterwards prepared in detail for the press
This incident brought Mr. Hanks very promi-
nently before the public, and for several wears
he enjoyed the undisputed title and honors of
the drummer Boy OF Lundy's Lane But
conscience, like Banquo's ghost, would NOT
down, and after enduring its goading for a sea.
SOD, Mr.. Hanks again came before the publi,
and this time with the humiliating Confession
that what he said to Gen. Scott and throueh
the press was wholly false-there was no Truth
In it. When he heard the incident related. and
no one had claimed its honors, it occurred to
him at the moment that there was an oppor-
tunity for him to distinguish himself. The
temptation was too great. 10 an evil moment
his vanity and desire for notorety overcame all
other considerations and he made the announce

Hendricks en- the Administration.


NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The registration of vot-

year shows $4,000 less, and in Brooklyn $1,000
les.
Gov. Hendricks in an interview last night,
speaking of the administrator of President
Hayes, said that it was fficult to imagine
where that gentleman would eventually land
his party. He thought those who supposed
that that administration would capture the
Democratic party would find themselves mis-
taken; but it was his opinion, however, that
the Democrats would do by Hayes as they did
by Andrew Johnsop-sustain him. The Dem
ccratic patty had been fighting for the principle
of local selt-government in the South for years,
and so far as the President carried out that doc
trne they would sustain him.
