A War of Newspapers.

NEW YORK, September 26.-The
new slaper war of rates received fresh
impetus this morning by the reduction
of the Herald from three to two cents.
The result is that newsdealers are
angry They say they cannot handle
the Times, on which they make but
half cent, and certainly can't the
Hrral on which they can make but a
third of cent, and which is very
heavy in actual weight. The east side
ewsdealers met tonight and agreed
that they would not sell the Times
and Herald for less than three cents
and would furnish them by TIE week
for twenty cents each. Meantime all
Newspaper Row Is agitated.
The Herald's reduction was made
this morning without note or editorial
comment, but the town has been COW
cred with placards to-day, and to-mor-
row the morning papers will have from
one column TO a page OF advertisements
of the Herald. The other papers are
doing their best to increase their cirCu'
lation. The Star is printing two OF
three columns of want advertisements
daily free of charge.
The Tribune is said to have given
away 20, 600 papers on Sunday. The
Times l., said to give its dealers larg,
quantities that they are at liberty tt
return if they cannot sell 1t is Sait
Tonight that the Herald has advanced
| its advertising rates to six cents a word
They were five cents.

NEW YORK, Sept. ga Brooklyn
paper says "Traffic was interrupted
ON the bridge this morning for about
eighty minutes by the breaking of one
of the grip ropes on car No. 2. Last
night car No. q met with the same
accident. This was entirely unexpected,
for it was thought that these ropes
were almost as strong as the cable
itself. Colonel Paine lost no time in
having the ropes repaired, and the two
cars were running as usual this morn

the engineers some trouble is the oak
rims of the grip pu(leys wearing out
rapidly. They will have to be renewed
about once a week. Colonel Paine says
he will be able TO overcome this diff
Guilty as soon as the cars have become
thoroughly adapted Ia the workings of
the cable. Major McNulty is busy
with a large force of men constructing
the extension Of the Sands street
viaduct. When this is flushed, more
cars will be placed on the bridge, and
faster time will be made. About
1860 neople crossed the bridge yester,
day on the cars and about 10000 on
foot. The travel has increased dail y

nDaniOnablo People.

In every society We find that the PEG :

those who have a knack of making light
of tribulation and vexations, and habit
of putting them out of sight; who 40 not
entertain their acquaintances with the
recital of bad baking, a leaky pipe,
the children measels, the shortcomings
of the servants; who know how to keep
their melancholy, if they have any, out
Of the conversation; whose nerves do
not furnish them with material for .
morning call who are not always on the
outlook for draught, or a change OF
weather, or slight; who do not lament
their poverty, aloud, and make us feel
responsible for it and uncomfortable
amid our plenty. The companionabte
people never seek to make us dissatisfied
with ourselves or our belongings; they
talk about the things we like to hear,
and are silent upon the subjects on which
we disagree they do not differ from II.
for the sake Of differing, and do not an
nounce their opinions as III there were nc

No enjoyment, however inconsiderable

made an agreeable tour or lived for any
length of time with pleasant people, Oh
enjoyed any considerable interval Of
innocent pleasure.

day. The weather has been remarkably
favorable and the attendance unusually
large. On Thursday, 1t is estimated,
that there were ten thousand persons
present. The railroad cars carried
thousands OF visitors and the farmers
wives and daughters came In their own
vehicles from every direction.
The exhibits in several of the depart
ments were very good, while In others
they were meagre indeed. There were
very few horses, fewer cattle and swine
and no sheep whatever, while there
were scores of empty pens.
The display of cereals was very good,
az was also that of vegetables, while the
pumpkins in size are seldom excelled.
The display of fruit was also fair the
apples, pears and peaches were very
luscious and tempting to the eye, while
the ladies' contributed their full share to
the attractions. The display of ma.
chinery was also very creditable, and
the agents made various sales, thus re-
alizing some profit for the necessary
trouble and outlay required al thei,
hands. The trials of speed we're fully
up to the ordinary standard, and proved
very attractive to the great mass OF at
tendauts.
There were various side shows, t.
which the owners labored TO attrac
visitors, and all fond of variety coult
easily get rid of a part of their funds.
The exhibition afforded the farmer

Worthy lives,

We are told, by those who know, that
there are stars SO far distant that it takes
years for their light to reach the earth
If they should suddenly be extinguished
we should be unaware of the fact for as
many years az might be required for the
last rays to reach us. We might look up
nightly and see the same old radiante,
az though nothing had happened. 1t Is
just so with great and holy lives. Long
after they have gone out in the darkness
of death they continue to exert an intiu.
ence, and leave behind them a beauty
and power which make it impossible to
conceive them az extinguished.

uttered after he was shot were,

When the great auction

six per ct. We laid in at that
sale 100 cases, containing
5000 pairs OF Blankets, en-
bracing every grade,size and

coming in day by day and we
could not advertise them be-
cause they sold off as fast as
cases opened. Now this full
lot and other lots are in and
we notify the people of our
prices to make a satisfactory
Blanket showing.
We think our 81 Blanket
as good as many that are sold

We open up this week 100

Not A Graduate,

1t was inadvertently stated in tho

Smith, Seventh and Pine streets, was a
graduate of the Baltimore College Of
Pharmacy. The error brought forth
the following denial from the President

Board of Pharmacy, who it is evident
will not permitany druggist to carry on
business except under the prescribed
rules and conditions adopted :
EDITORS REPUBLICAN :-Gents.-In
your issue of yesterday you state that
Mr. Beaton Smith Is graduate of the

us to correct this error, as neither Mr..

ment in substance, which fully agrees
with the statement of Messrs. Price
and Morgan:
