Gold has been found in the island of New
Grinea ana the Australian newspapers calling for

Attention however is invited to the fact that for more
thar century part of the western coast has been
claimed by Holland that the taken possession

the acquisition was sauted by British man-oi-war.

For three months, the premium on gold mas

before that month closed gold fell to 1OO0s

The expectation of free issues of silver dropped
the premium on gold to 1908 on Saturday,
and it does not appear probable that any pre-

days. There will be no use for gold, because

The old social prejudice, too, against actors as

it had once good ground for existence. Their
business has always been literally an
"abstract and brief chronicle OF their
times" and the times reflected by
plays and players in the days OF

gently bred. as simple and domestic In their

THE STATE or TRdDE.i

Thus far, the repeal of the Bankrupt Act
and the consequent food of failures have not
caused as much disturbance in business as was
by many persons apprehended. 1t is true that
some unexpected failures, of such a character
that they might more properly be called rob-
berries, have brought to light important de-
fects in the laws of several States. In one
case, for example, many creditors in this city
who had recently sold goods to Western firm
were amazed to learn that, only two days after
the repeal of the Bankrupt Act took
effect, the Western firm had confessed
judgment in favor of an employee, and that
the Sheriff had been put in possession. Not
a little reconstruction of State laws will be
found necessary before commerce can move
on safely. Yet the instances of fraudulent
evasion of debts have not been numerous,
nor have many firms been dragged down
by the unexpected bankruptcies in Au-
gust. better feeling prevails, not only
here but at the West, and the pros
poets of Fall trade are generally re-
garded decidedly good. Besides a sense of
greater security, since the general sifting-out
of unsound firms has passed, two important
influences have contributed to improve the
business situation. The news as 10 the crops

The breath of early Autumn is blowing the
froth of fashion from seaside and mountain
house. The season is ending; the dresses are
crumpled the gossip is stale the fireworks
are burned out; and the prizes and blanks in
the matrimonial lottery are drawn. The
reveries of the Society Bachelor are now in
order, and our readers will find them fresh
bus rather cynical in a Newport letter on
another page.

The recent "high jinlls" at Minneapolis
seem to have promoted general good feeling.
We are gravely informed this morning that at
the state Fair on Saturday " a grand caval-
sscade of half million dollars worth
"of stock was ranged in parade" After a
procession and review of such phenomenal in-
terest, the President was inspired to make
the facetious remark that although a public
man may make ever so many mistakes, If
upon the whole the American people believe
that he is honest and patriotic, and means
well. they will treat him as you treat me-"
Let the President undeceive himself. The
public servants and political leaders the
American people want are men who do well
as well as mean well.
The production of fish tales In sultry
weather is not department Of home industry

Whenever the Atlantic sea-serpent Is dis
covered of our coast, or lake ptckerel are
barnessed to a maiden's gondOla, or the
queen Of the specllled beauties is res
-cued by her fnny subjects, we hail
the event as an nnerring sign that
the imaginative power of American journalism
is increasing. In a letter on another page,
however, will be found some plain prose about
what Is undoubtedly the most exciting sport
in our waters-sharz fishing off Nantucket.
Our correspondent does not find in the

There is no diminution in the mortality from
yellow fever in the Southwest. During the
forty-eight hours ending at midnight there
were 216 deaths in New-Orleans and 1893 in
Memphis, and sufficient number in other in
aected cities to swell the estimate of NOR

The recovery of digestion and the re-
sumption of activity by the liver, bowels
and kidneys are milestones which mark
our progress on the road To health They
speedily become perceptble when Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is used by the invalid.
Nothing so surely and expeditiously con.
sumes the distance to the desired goal AS
no bodily function can suffer interruption
without impairing the general health of the
system, so the system can ne or acquire per
ltct Vigor, healths synonym, until that func-
ton be actively resumed Take, for i'm.
stance digestion, suspension of which is
invariably rectifed by the Ri ters. If the
organs upon which it devolves grow weak,
biliOusness, constipation, headache, poverty
Of the blood, and hundred other symptoms

the baneful general influence of dyspepsia
The disappearance of all these symptoms
through the use of the Bitters shows with
what thoroughness it removes their causes.

When IL Is remembered that in Eastern

$3.50 for his board 1920 in all, it will be-
Seen that in Louisville he gets one full

Every student or guardian or parent who
reads these remarkable facts should send at
once for catalogues. II is stated in the cata-
logues just issued, that all applications for
them should be addressed to the Dean of
the Louisville Medical College, Louisville,
Kentucky.
Wesee that five per cent. of the class are
granted beneficiary privileges.
We also see in the catalogues issued, that
students who desire il will be educated by
the graded system adopted at Harvard,
Massachusetts,.
One is not surprised to read, after learn
ing these remarkable advantages offered by
this Faculty, that ninety five students have
been graduated by it in the last year.
The class list as published shows students
from almost every State; the best evidence
OF the fact that the public throughout this
country is rapidly obtaining and appreciat-
ing the valuable information here given to
our readers.
1t seems only natural that so many
students from the Northern States should
seek in winter the mild and temperate
climate of Kentucky; for thus they escape
their harsh winter weather, and return home
in time for the cool Northern summer.
Louisville, the geographical center of this
country, bids fair to be one Of its greatest
medical centers
While newspapers seldom furnish the in
formation which we have herein given, we
are satisfied that our readers will value these
interesting and profitable facts, and will
agree with us in saying that all which is of
interest to the family circle belongs of

so. The schoolmaster brings it smartlv
to bear on the fingers of recalcitrant
youth, the ass driver has no other in

TONER seizes hold of it when he decap-
