Rev. Henry Ward Beecher last evening gave, at
the congregational church, which was well filled,
delightful description of his recent "Circut OF the
Continent Rev. Dr. Rankin, in introducing the
lecturer referred to his own recollections OF Mr.
Beechers father, who. DR.. Rankin said. with some
emphasis was orthodox. Mr. Beecher remarked
that ne was glad that at last 1t was established

complmented by DIR. Rankin, he had at least inner
lted MS orthodoxy. The lecturer dwelt upon the
vast extent ana resources OF the country, devOtng
much OF his address TO description of the great
wheat Oen OF the northwest. He referred also to
the vast fertile region Of the British dominion and
preulcteo that within 25 years we would have
an empire on our northern border containing six
times the population Of this country at the time Of
men had to work and provide for the long winters
he considered as the great nursery OF strong and
noble manhood. Mr. Beecher traced his journey

Texas and hence home through LOUISE

good indication that the big ranches were dis
appearing: the big farmers were broke and the lit

there was demand for their labor. He referred to

said. Henry Ward Beecher could not have crossed

The American Silver Product.

From the days of Cortez, in 1921,
down to the beginning of this century,
and even to the present time, except
when interrupted by revolution, the
Mexican silver mines have poured forth
an ~unceasing stream of silver, such as
the world has never seen. 1t is esti-
mated that the value of the silver coin
and bullion of the country since the con
ouest is over So, 000, 000, 900, and it is
we'll known that some of the mines have
been protitably worked almost without
interruption from that time to this, and
that one of them, at least, is still running
out silver at the rate of S., 900, 900 per
wear. California has yielded about
81, 100, DOC, 900 of gold and silver. Nevada
has turned out something like $500, 000,-
OOO-possibly more. Suppose that all
precious metal was silver dollars, and
that each dollar contained 4l23 grains,
that sixteen such dollars would weigh
one pound, and that $40, 600, 900 per
annum for thirty years has been secured
by the people of the United States. 1t
would weigh 131, 250, 900 pounds. Now
let us load this vast amount into wagons.
Allowing 5000 pounds for each wagon,
it would take 46, $50 wagons. Allowing
eighty wagons per mile, it would make a
train of wagons SAC 7-8 miles long.

A MilIiOnaire's Loss.

They say Vanderbilt has lost sixty
millions-sixty-fve millions, l heard in
Wall street. Well, che hasn't squealed,"
as he promptly said of his favorite son.
Let's see if he has lost so much. There
are about 900, 600 shares in the New
York Central. OF these Vanderbilt
owned about $50, 900. At one time these
sold readily at $3.50; now they go at 800.
The difference between $50 and 800 is
S60-a loss of $50 a share for $50, 600
shares is a total loss of S21, 900. 600 in
New York Central alone. Lake Shore
has SOC, 900 shares; of this Vanderbilt
owned 200, 600. In 1881 this was at
S135; now it is at S65-loss per share,
S70-a total loss on 200, 900 shares, S14,-
600, 600. This added to the loss on the
Central, $21, 900, 900, aggregates $685.
600, 900 on these two roads alone. From
this is to be deducted something for
stock sold while it was falling, perhaf3u
So, 900, 900. But then we must add a
good deal on account of the well-meant
and desperate but futile attempts of Mr..
Vanderbilt to keep the stocks up. When
Central was at $125, for. instance,
he would put a few millions in and bun
aud this would send it up to S135 for a
week, during which he would buy again
heavily, and then the whole weuId slump
to $40. These bull tactics, repeated
over and over at every fall, have resulted
in enormous losses, which must be add
ed to the S35, 900, 600 above mentioned.
But these losses prove the sincerity of
Mr.. Vanderbilt. A year ago his predic-
tons of good times were thought to be
dishonest to cover intended sales; but
the result shows that he believed what
he said and acted boldly on his belief.
He did his best to stem the tide. but it
proves to be a food.-M Y. World.

Miss AstOr's Wedding Dress.

The wedding dress for one of the AS
tor girls about to be married vas made
by Worth, and is said to be one of the
handsomest that ever left his establish
ment and is one of the finest ever
brought to America, The entire dress
is made of white satin, embroidered by
the most skillful fingers in Paris. The
design is a clump of roses done in
threads of silver. This delicate work on
the soft shining background glistens
like the sun on new fallen snow, and is
certainly most appropriately termed
s'frost. work" The front and sides of
the skirt are artistically ~garlanded with
half wreaths Of orange blossoms. The
BASQUE is short, opening in a V in
front, with wide ruff IS of point lace. A
phaiting of the same lace completes the
neck trimming. The veil, of a very
rare and costly Brussels point, is fast
ened on the head with diamonds and
orange blossoms, then falling to the
floor extends two yards upon the train.
The girl had so many dresses that her
attendants could not describe them all.

A MATTER-OF-FACT STORY.
Youthful Lovers United After Many Year

The Louisville Journal says:-Mr.
David n. Gilbert, formerly of Taylors-
vile, KY, now a resident of Hunnewell,
Kan, where he is extensively engaged
in herding cattle, was very quietly mar
ried a few days ago to Mrs. Jane Alex
ander, a widow, formerly of Taylors-
vile, but for the last five years a resi-
groom was a widower and the bride a
widow of ONE years standing, theirs is
a case of "frst love-" They were next
door neighbors during their early life
and sweethearts of the most devoted
kind. Their parents and friends expect
ed q union between them as soon as
they reached the proper age, but on &C.
count of a slight misunderstanding be-
tween the young lovers, which would
soon have been looked over and forgotten
had they remained neighbors, this was
prevented.
Mr.. Gilbert, then 20 years old, while
brooding over his love affair, determined
to go to California. The gold fever was
at its highest at that time, and in Janu-
airy, 1850, in company with a young
friend by the name of Ashley, from
Shelby county, he set out on horseback
for st. Louis, where he joined a party
with OK teams. They crossed the plains
and mountains to the gold regions of Cali
fornia, where he remained several years
digging gold, afterward returning to the
hen Territory of Kansas, where he pur-
chased a large tract of land and settled
down to farming. He soon. afterward
married a lady in that State, who lived
until two years ago. leaving several
children, all of whom are now grown.
The sweetheart he had left behind in
Kentucky, whose name was Jane
Wooten, married William Alexander, OF
this city, his father being a prominent
citizen in the early history of Louisville
Mr.. Alexander died during the war,
leaving her with several children, all @
whom are now married, and with one
Mrs. Alexander made her home anG
lives in Florida. Last fall Mr.. Gilbert
after an absence of over thirty years, re
turned to his native State to Visit hi
relatives and the Exposition. Whil'
here he accidentally met the sweethear
of his boyhood, and the old ''frst love-
was soon kindled into a flame, with tht
happy result mentioned above.

Several dead men have been found in

though they had been wounded and
crawled in there to protect themselves.
One poor fellow sat behind q big tree
with a Bible in his hand. He had been
passed a dozen times and more during
the day by ambulance drivers and burial
squads, but they had all thought that he
was alive. He had been shot i'll the

protection, taking his Bible out, he
thought. no doubt, that he would find
consolation in reading it, but while sit
