A newspaper subscriber remarked
that he found it much cheaper to pay
for his paper IN advance than at the

he paid in advance he was getting
something new for his money, but to
do so at the end of the year was like
paying for WORKOUT clothes-there was
none of the anticipation in the trans

philosopher.

WITHOUT the slightest degree of i'll
feeling to the much abused Higgins,
we teel that he erred in philosophy
when he proposed to remove the ladies
employed in the appointment clerks
office because the atmosphere of the
place is not suitable for them. Up
here, where every second man one
meets is "ventilationist," if we can
manage to remove the atmosphere
the workers are very apt to follow.

WHARF.-THE water articles in last
weeks JOURNAL gave rise to consid-
cradle discussion, but not enough of
q serious character.
The Cumberland News of Thurs
day has the following:
The Frostburg water company have
been for some time past engaged in
sinking artesian wells just outside the
town to procure continuous supply
of soft water. In one we'll water was
struck at little over 100 feet. The
supply is estimated at $4,000 gallons
every "a hours. The second we'll has
been sunk to depth of so feet.
We would like the NewS to hear
the testimony of our housewives as to
the softness, and that supply-O,

The trouble in Baltimore grows ont

The trouble in Baltimore grows out
of a scholastic protest against any
impeachment of the divine rights of
aristocrats as heirs presumptive to
the offices. This sentiment has as
sumed to itself all the panoply of
virtue, mingled its sophistry with the
voice of history, infused its poison in
the fountains Of classic literature,
blended its notes with the cadences of
poetry, discharged the polished arrows
of satire, decked itself with the
charms of wit and sentiment, and
with velvet tongue pretended to be
the only true friend and ally of good
government.
But flowers such as
These, choicely culled and elegantly arranged
Shall form garland for Narcissa's tomb.

The provision brokers had rather more to
do than usual and stood in their own pit
most of the time. The business consisted
chiefly in transferring trades from one
month to another. Big receipts of live

Special to the Globe.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Business was fairly
active, with a cool, northerly breeze bracing
up individual courage and Quickening the
desire OF business men to do something and
make money if possible. Of course this
change OF temperature for one day would
not change the essential and underlying
conditions of trade, and hence the volume
OF commercial transactions did not vary
greatly from that of the previous Monday.
Business at the banks was fair as usual on
the first day Of each new week. Money is
plentiful but firmly held except for the best
paper, which is scarce. Demand for loans
small. Rates nominal and variable accord
ing to circumstances. New York exchange
sold at 80 cents premium, with strong
outside demand. Shipments of currency
light. Sterling exchange was dull at $3.50
@4.S7. Government bonds strong and d
higher. Bank clearings were 81, S42, 900
against Sc, $50, O97 Saturday.
