A Queer Barometer.

1t is not generally known that the rem
dered fat of woodchuck is as good a
barometer as any we have today. While
in the country short time ago the writer
had occasion to travel through the lower
part of Berks. At the house of friend
he pressed me to take an umbrella with
me. There were no signs of storm. 1
asked why he persisted in so logged a
manner for me to accept the article.
"Why," said he, "iook at my barome-
ter" There upon the shelf stood a bot
tie sealed with beeswax It was all
cloudy. The old gentleman said that he
had used this one for most twenty years,
and if storm was brewing the barome-
ter got cloudy twelve hours before tho
rain or snow began to fall. In clear
weather the oil was always clear. Read

But her ideas of improvement did not
end with the enlargement of the dining
room. A two story l. was added tho
following spring. The parlor was re-
furnished and great piano for Arthur's
special use was brought from the city.
"My children shall be taught to love
their home," said the determined little
mother when her husband battled against
what he called a foolish piece of extrava-
gance. Rosa Bell is quite old enough
to go into society. Young Tomlinson is
partial to her, and had rather have him
feel free to call where / can have q
chance of judging Of his character than
to endeavor to meet her on the street cor
ners or at the village postoffice. Books
and music have an ennobling influence
over the young, and 1 had rather have
Arthur master of the piano than of the
billiard table. In order to keep our boys
and girls we must exert ourselves to
please them. Give the husks at home,
and they will most assuredly seek the
wheat elsewhere"
To this speech Mr.. Hunter replied in
was master of his own children, and as
to having his house filled with company
from morning till night, he would not.
1t was out OF the question. He couldn't
afford 1T. Gas was expensive, and the
wear and tear of carpets and furniture
was something to be thought of.
But, after following Rosa Bell about
from corner to corner few evenings,
and breaking upa few private interviews
with young Tomlnson, after listening to
Arthur's boyish bets over game of bill
iards, and breaking up Kathies intimacy
with the girls employed as leash" in
Blind d Co. store, he gave in, and
quietly put all the responsibility on his
little wife.
Though young in years, Orphies was
wise little woman. Never as much as 81
told you so' passed her lips. Calmly ac-
cepting the burden, she carried it along
as she had intended to do when fate gave
her Hector Hunter for a husband. And
the man whom all the villagers had
feared on account of his crabbedness
said never a word. Books, papers, music
and paintings found their way into his
home. His house was always open to
etsS yOAh6t oAAit thN WI always WtlCOIuc
to the warmest place beside his hearth
When Rosa Bells engagement with
young Tomlinson became public, and
people congratulated him on his enter
prising son-in-law, he smiled quietly.
When Arthur came home from college
loaded with honors, he blushed with
pride; and when Kathie received her
diploma and was pronounced capable of
taking a high rank as public school
teacher, he Rugged himself with great
satisfaction.
Though always thoughtful and consid-
crate of his young wife, he was never
known to acknowledge her superiority
by word of mouth. Manlike he refused
to give her her dues, and the only praise
she ever received for her trial and care
was from the lips of her son Arthur the
day he was admitted to the bar.

HER MAJESTY, MY QUEEN.

With Fancy's brush portrait Of my queen
Ipaint as now In memory she stands:
Her form, a poem from masters hands;
An oval face with innocence serene,
Whose dimpled cheeks, though snowy In their
sheen, ....
Flush like the shells ON Coromandel's sands;
Eyes, blue as those In far Circassian's lands,
Beneath a brow that wears royal mien,
Moon tinted like Alhambra's palace wall,
And fifty framed In strands of Orient gold;
nose and chin Rome's sculptors might adore;
Lips, clear cut rose buds, from whose portals fall
Soft, ripping music-never could they scold.
AS time rolls on love her more and more.

Women are generally willing to have
their photographs taken, and in country
places have frequently had them cluster
around the camera for this object; but
men are less eager, and in many cases
when requested to become part of q

background and SO overshadow the face
as to make their picture unacceptable.

of THE DAILY News. The large addition to its
present million-a-week circulation, which will
surely come with its reduction to one cent day,
will fully compensate for the reduced profit at
which each paper is sold. All this concerns the
reader only as assuring him that The DAILY News
can reduce its price and at the same time maintain
its high character the foremost newspaper OF the
Northwest-that a million-a-week circulation
makes the otherwise impossible entirely possible.
The present is peculiarly the time to inaugu-
rate this popular departure in American jour
nalism. The approaching Presidential election.
widens UNNECESSARILY the field and opportunity
for THE DAILY News as an independent, impartial,
fearless newspaper-one free from all the entangle
ments of mere partisan allegiance The demand
is more and more for newspaper which shall
give all the political news free from partisan color
ing and which shall tell the absolute unvarnished
truth about things regardless of its effect upon the
fortunes of this or that political party candidate
This demand The DAILY News aims to meet and
at its reduced price it combines all the elements
which should make it literally everybody's paper.
y To the thousands Of new readers whose atten-
ton is now for the first time directed to The Daily
News it is proper to say that they will find it
complete in all the essentials Of the best Aneri-
can journalism of to-day. Its quality as a nsaOs-
paper proper is best indicated in the fact that it is
the only low-priced paper in Chicago or the
Northwest, which is member of the "Asso-
ciated Press" The other ASSOCIATED Press
papers in Chicago the Tribune, the Times and
Inter- Ocean all cost three cents. The CHICAGO
DAILY News prints all the neacs and sells it for
one cent day. Sold by all news dealers. Mailed,
postage paid, at $500 per year, 25c. per month.

g The DAILY News, CHICAGO.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1888-07-20

IT is fitting that the pioneer of low-priced
journalism in the West should lead in placing the
American newspaper of to-day upon the basis of
the lowest unit of American coinage. Twelve
years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and
throughout the Northwest. The founding of The
DAILY NEWS at lower price was regarded by the
journalistic profession as inviting certain failure.
But they were wrong. To-day there is not a
nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation of
The DAILY News averages, as shown by its pub
lished sworn statements, $4,000 copies day
with single exception the largest daily circula-
ton in America, and greater than the circula-
tons of all other Chicago daiges confined.
The DAILY News has prospered beyond the
most sanguine hopes of its founders. For this it
has more than once made its grateful acknowledge
ments to an apprecative public. 1t believes, how
ever, that the time has now come when, acting
entirely within the limits of wise commercial
progression, it can give its thanks more practical
expression. 1t proposes henceforth to "divide T"
as to its friends-and to multiply to its cireula
ton. To-day it reduces its price to one Cent
and expects to double its circulation
And anticipating the questionings of the
doubtful let it be briefly said that the thing can be
done The DAILY NEws-all that it has been in
the past as Wei as all that is rightly expected of
it in the future as aleader in progressive Ameri-
can journaism--can be produced and sold for
enc esata day and this by reason Of those COM
mon principles of trade which make possible
lower prices just in proportion as the aggregate
volume of sales increases. The DAILY News now
sells ovvy a million papers z0eek as shown by its
published sworn statements Of circulation, and it
can afford to sell at smaller profit per paper than
other Chicago dailies, no one of which has as
much as one-third the average daily circulation

Levi T.. Morton's Sensible Remarks to
Visiting Climbs

Visiting Clubs.
| PoUGHKEEPsIE IN. ", October ISth.-There
| was an immense demonstration at Rhineclif
| tonight, the occasion being visit of yariou,
Republican clubs to Mr. Morton. On arriving nj
Mr.. Morton's residence the clubs were massed
ON the lawn on the north side of the house
George Esselstein, of Rhinebeck as Chairman
welcomed the clubs and presented them TO ME-
Morton, who spoke as follows:
Mr.. EsstLstein, friends and ReidhbOrs. Hum.
mated demonstrations of this magnitude are OF
rare occurrence III quiet country towns. and the
surprise of the people of Rhinebeck can,
thlnk, only be compared to that of the red men
OF the forest when the Pilgrim Fathers landed
on Plymouth Rock or when Hendiick Hudson :
boat made its inst trip up the Hudson river.
However have great pleasure in greeting you
Yith cordial welcome, and beg 20 assure YOU
OF my grateful appreciation of the honor CON
ferred upon me by your visit this evening Be-
yond welcoming you here, in the best terms at
my command, do not see that there is much 10
be said. You are all Republicans, and no argu-
ments are Therefore needed either to convert
you 10 those principles or to strengthen wayer-
ing faith In them, and 1t so happens that
within our party there are no questions
upon which Republicans differ. There
is nothing in our platform that calls
for guarded explanations or Diplomatic excuses
and there are neither party cliques, nor sections
nor factions Therefore, we have no politics to
talk about this evening. We can at least felici-
tate ourselves and others upon the harmony
which peryades the Republican party and the
element OF strength which sucn an unity OF
sentiment and purpose betoke1s. You pr baby
know that the Republicans of every other
county In the State are working in as complete
harmony as in this. And from this HARMONY
this unanimity of sentiment and action-what
Is the result that we may expect to achieve at
the polls? There are among you many who
spent the flower of your youth in the battle for
freedom, and you can practically estimate the
value OF close masses wnen entering conflict.
Your experience will teach you that organiza-
tions such as the large number present to night
are effective and powerful agencies in CAM
paign.
"But,my friends, industrious and personal work
IS equally important. Only few days remain
for effective work before the verdict must be
given which will, in my judgment, have far
reaching effect on the future prosperity OF the
country. The absorbing question at this time
is whether that verdict will favor the advance
OF those principles of protection for which Re-
publlcans have always eontended, and which
have placed this country at the head of indus
trial nations. With such complete harmony in
our ranks, such unison in sentiment in action
and In expectation, we may await the verdict
with confident assurance.

CHAMBEgsBUgG Pe }, October 1Sth-A fatal
wreck occurred on the Cumberland Valley
Railroad, near Shippensburg, this morning
Trains Nos. II and collided at sharp curve
IN the road, telescoping the cars and completely
demoilshlng the engines. The officials OF the
road here are very reticent in the matter and
refuse to state anything of the cause. From
tralnmen the following particulars are learned:
- Both trains were late, and the conductor of
No. g. coming south, received orders at MELVILLE
to run to Shippensburg and pass No. Il The
conductor of No. IA says that he received orders
at Shippeusburg to run to the thirty-eight- mile
siding, between Shippensburg and Newville,
and there meet and pass No. 9. Acting on these
orders. he lett Shippensburg and within three
miles met the incoming train.
The engineer of No. IA saw the smoke of the
other train around the curve, and shut off steam
and applied the air-brakes but before he could
stop both trains
CAME TOGETHER WITH A CRASH.
The engines interlocked, the boiler of one
being driven over five feet into the other TIE
express cars on both trains were driven back
and completely telescoped the baggage cars
Baggagemaster Charles Betner OF Harrisburg
