NEW xoRK,s BIG RALLY.

blaine, Depew, Foraker, Mckinley
Night.
New YoRK, Sept. 23.-Republicans of New
York will enjoy rare opportunity next Sat-
urday evening of hearing some of the best
speakers in the Republican ranks.
Applications for seats at this big meeting
at the Polo grounds are pouring in SO rapidly
that the secretaries have hardly had time to
read and answer them. The letters come from
all over New England, besides. Pennsylvania
and other States to the South and West. The
names of Blaine, Depew, Foraker, Mckinley
and Frazer within themselves attract thou
sands to the place.
1t will be in every respect workingman's
meeting. There will be plenty of room for
all who wish to come. The speakers stand
will be built out a short distance from the
grand stand, where those who occupy seats
and those who can get within the bare lines
can hear. The committee in charge have
been sending notices and invitations right
and left. By Tuesday every man who can
read will know of the meeting. IL is not
desired that only Republicans shall
go, but it is for those who have
never heard the protection idea presented as
it will be presented then. The speaking will
begin promptly at 8 o'clock and the gates of
the grounds will be open at least half an hour
earlier. The parade through the Harlem
streets will start an hour earlier under the
command of Major Charles Applsby, who ia
the grand marshal. He has already received
applications from enough clubs and organiza-
lions to make the parade brilliant success.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-E. F. Jeffrey of the
Illinois Central railroad has received dis
patches from points along the line of the
road in Kentucky, Tennessee. Mississippi
and Louisiana, confirming the reports of the
terror which prevails among the people in
consequence of the prevalence of yellow fe.
YER The excitement is widespread and the
feeling has resulted in completely stagnating
business and preventing traffic. Mr.. Jeffrey
said to day there are probably $50 places
along the Illinois Central where guarantees
prevail, where the people had taken matters
into their own hands.

WEALTH OF THE AsToRs.
The Careful Hoarding Which Has In
creased Their Great Fortune.

The Careful Hoarding Which Has In
creased Their Great Fortune.
The Astor fortune has lasted through
four generations and is constantly in
creasing. The rule has been that the sons
or grandsons at farthest, squandered in
riotous living what the fathers or grand
fathers accumulated.
The fortune of $4O,OO0,000 left by John
Jacob Astor nearly forty wears ago has
grown from 500, 900, 900 to $500 900, 900 in
the hands of his namesake and grandson,
and will soon descend to his great gTapd-
son, VIM. Waldorf Aston, inCraasing at q
yearly rate of from SD y0UU,OOO to S20,OOO,-
6OO. 'Tho-renso for this is that the Astors
oG. each generation are educated in the
thrifty German habits of the founder of
the family. Instead of doing what the
average American who achieves fortune
does, declaring that he does not want his
boys to undergo the hardships and trials
that he went through, and teaching them
nothing about money and its values
except the readiest and foolshest
way to get rid of it, the Astors have
trained their sons in all the details of the
management of their immense estate.
They are taught to avoid kite-hying specu-
lations, to live plainly and unostenta-
tiously, and invest their accumulations in
more real estate. The result is the Astor
estate has not lacked judicious manager
for three generations, and will soon fall
into the hands of fourth, who promises
to be as thorough man of business as his
thrifty ancestors. II New York Letter.

A GLANCE AT EUROPE.

what May Happen In Case the Kaiser
Dies,
Mr.. Carl weinmeister, one of the
closest students OF German history,
says
"If the Emperor's grandson sue
ceeds to the throne in Germany there
will be war in six months. The young
Prince is just 20, and hot-headed and
daring. If the Crown Prince should
not die of cancer, peace may be pre-
served after the Emperor's death. But
with the young man on the throne
war would come"
"Would Germany whip France
again ~
easier than before. The empire
is compacter and more united than
ever. The French explosive-meli-
net-which Boulanger thought would
blow the Germans out of existence,
proves to be ineffective. 1t corrodes
with time, and is neither portable nor
safe"
"But what do you think of France
spending $l35,000,0O0 improving her
forts ?"
"While she does that, Germany
spends money building railroads. Won
Moltke's theory is that victories
must be won in the open field Ger
many, under his advice, is tearing
down her forts and building railroads,
so that the troops can be massed rap
idly. France builds forts, Germany
demolishes her forts and builds rail-
roads. A writer in Blackwood says,
Germany stands as master of fence,
with the point of her sword dropped
and her breast apparently open; but
woe to France when she thinks that
Germany dropped her eyes when she
dropped the point of her sword"
"Would there not be trouble in
Germany with the Emperor's death ~
"Not at all. Apprehension is created
by the great age of Won Moltke and
/ Bismarck, but each of these has estab
| lished his chools--Bismarck in diplo
macy, Won Moltke in war. When
both die, their disciples will take NJ
their work and carry it on as if they
were alive. Each has established
principle that will outlive himself ant
maintain the integrity of the empire.

The Michigan Tenant Farmers.

The commissioner of the labor bureau
of Michigan has just made a report which
gives some startling statistics in regard to
the condition of the trainers OF that State.
He has been gathering facts respecting the
mortgages held on farms in Michigan, and
his figures indicate that probably one-half
of the farming land of the State, and pos
sibly more, is incumbered with these bur-
dens. OF 1903 farms about which the
commissioner was able to learn 43,079 were
mortgaged, in whole or in part, or about
AZ per cent. of the entire number, while
the mortgages amounted 10 from So TO 90
per cent. of the assessed valuation of the
land. On these mortgages the farmers are
now paying an average rate OF interest $
high as ~ per cent, which means that
they are paying the mortgage his entire
loan every Ia years, in addition to being
held for the principal. This is lament
able condition of affairs and one under
which no agricultural community can
maintain even the appearance OF prosper
ity for any length os time. The Michigan
farmers are seemingly engaged in strug-
gle to enrich the money-lenders of the
State instead of to render themselves in
dependent and the records show that
their history is not peculiar among agri-
culturists. The farmer will never wrest q
good inheritance from the ground until
he is content to live within his means and
ceases to discount the future by borrowing
ON the security of his homestead.-lM, T.

When sunset bushes tint the sky,
And from the marsh the chorus breaks,
When to their nests the swallows fly
And the wise-visaged owl awakes,
Tis then the sable queen of night
Succeeding day, assumes her throne,
And with court of stars so bright,
Shines with glory all her own.
When pale Dianas softest smile
Lights up the bosom of the lake
When nightingales the hours beguile,
And bats their daylight haunts forsalle,

Comes gaily on through brake and bog;
