The Jewelry Trade,

Through the summer the lewelry business
was dull, but this trade begins to quicken.
The lever collar and cuff button is having
big run. 1t is an invention that saves time,
labor, perspiring, removes the great tempta-
ton that a man has to say swear words after
struggling 10 or Is minutes to button re-
fractory cuff. Shell jewelry as a rule is out
of fashion Some kinds of shell jewelry,
however, are in good demand, namely, back
hair combs and the long two pronged shell
forks are called fine. Some of the back
combs are beautifully carved and polished.
by building fire on the back of tortoise.
This causes the tortoise to part with his she'll
as quickly as possible and he hurries into the
water to grow another. An exchange re-
marks at is one of the curiosities of the
times that shell ornaments should be discard
ed for silver trinkets-for 10 cent pieces.

Potatoes 70 be Abundant and Cheap this
Winter.

1t will not be necessary to import Scotch
and Irish potatoes this winter and spring,
writes correspondent of the Boston Herald
The American pomme de terre will be album
dant and cheap, and there will be plenty for
export. A prominent New York dealer in
potatoes says the crop sis unusually large and
Of fine cooking quality. The yield is heavy all
over the West. Potatoes have been bought ND
in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan recently for
25 cents a bushel. which enables them to be
laid down in New York cheaper than State
stock. A man who has just arrived from
Prince Edward Island tells me that the crop
there is larger and finer than ever before
Nova Scotia and the other provinces also
have large crops. / know of no place where
the yield is light except up the Hud-
son. A few old fogies in that part of
the country used to think that they supplied
the city. But the country is large and pota-
toes grow all over it. The market cannot be
cornered. That was tried last year and it
failed. Scotland and England and Germany
broke the corner all to pieces. when they De-
gan shipping. The State of Maine has good
crop of the best quality. As yet the East has
sent no potatoes to market. Its crop ripens
later, and, when it does the market will be
apt to be gutted. Especially is this so be-
cause great many of the exported potatoes
will be shipped from the West through Balti-
more. Then, too, our southern shipments
will be cut off, because the West will supply
southern cities. Potatoes are almost cheap
in New Orleans as in Boston. We are ship
ping few potatoes to Cuba and South Amer
lea. We must look to Europe for an outlet,
and undoubtedly Great Britain will want
some potatoes, but the idea that we could
ship them with profit to Switzerland. as
one Of our representatives in that coun-
try suggested, seems to me impractical
BILE. 1t would cost too much for freight

fair crop, and that country would be
too near by for US to compete with
her. Crops appear to have all been good ow-
ing TO the rains. Late potatoes are still grow
ing and the vines are green. The onion crop
is unusually fine. Sweet potatoes are plenty
and of fine quality. Though the apple crop
is failure in the western part of this STATE
the orchards in Michigan and other Western
States have borne fine fruit. There is al
ready a profitable export trade in Liverpool

"What do you think of the effort of the

size of packages for potatoes, apples, etc.?
was asked.
at is well enough but look on an ex-
change more as place that gives facilities
for gambling. 1t may do for wheat or beans
or cotton. (which are not so perishable as pota-
toes. But a man to sell them wants to be
right in the business. Such a one can go
around on the market and sell consignment
of potatoes early in the morning. long before
an exchange is open. BY the time a broker
got back to the office with his sample it would
be three Z. M. and too late to sell anything"

Horatio washburne, a turner employed in
the woodworking shop at the dam in this
city, had a narrow escape from painful and
serious accident yesterday by getting his
frock sleeve caught in the rapidly revolving
machinery of his lathe. As it was the sleeves
of both his shirt and frock were literally
torn from the arm, while the member itself
was badly cut and abraded. Had the
sleeve been of a frmer material the loss of
the arm would have been the result.

There have been several changes in the To-

changed to the corner of Myrtle and Bangor
streets, and the one at the east end of the
bridge has been changed to the corner of
Willow and Cony streets. The original let
TER box at the corner of Capitol and State

the mail placed in it from that section, and
has been replaced by one Of double the

II such lovely October weather as has
favored the people this year could be assured
every year, the season of vacations and ex-
cursions would be heightened. A great many
people are this year taking advantage OF the
beautiful weather to make excursions and
visit favorite resorts. That such people have
chosen wisely no one will gainsay. The
traveller is not crowded on boat or train.
Whatever is seen is at its best, and there is
not large crowd to interrupt the enjoyment
OF those why like quiet season of rest and

obliged to postpone his vacation until now
has compensation for his time of waiting.
