Mr.. G. S. Miller, OF Midland, Mo-, is
here for few days on business. he says
that no one need feel at all surprised ii
tho returns OF next months election
show cutting down OF the Democratic
majority in his State from $4,000 to 49,
OOO. He says that all the miners in
the iron, zinc and lead mines are
imbued with the Protection idea so Wig
orously championed by the Republican
narty and that while thousands OF them
have never voted with the Republican
narty they will do so this time and the
result will be startling.

THE HANCOCK COUNTY, OIL
Tho New Cumberland Field Rapidly
Filling Up.

Tho New Cumberland Field Rapidly
Filling UP.
The is no end to the excitement in
Hancock county, in the neighborhood
of the big oil well struck on Kings
creek, by the Bridgowater Gas Company.
The oil is of a fine quality OF crude,
much the same as that produced in the
Washington county fields, and, by the
way, strata and depth and geological
formation are much the same as in the
former district, which is the most pro-
ductive in the land. At the present
depth, OF course, but little can be told
concerning the volume of the fluid, but
tanks are being erected and the work Of
putting the well down to greater depth
will likely be commenced to-day. Hun
dreds OF p.,ople visit the well daily, but
nothing can be seen, as the derrick is
boarded up. The company would rather
have found gas. Oil men by the score
have been in Toronto daily since the
strike and the hotels have been crowd
ed; cots have been placed in the pGrlor,
hall, ETC., ut the Brady House, TO accom-
modate their guests for several nights
past. The flow OF oil when struck
was so strong that before the tube
could be plugged it is estimated that n
hundred barrels or more went TO waste.
1t was given out on good authority that
the Bridgewater Company had been
offered by leading oil firm $4,000 for
the well and their lease on the Brice
farm, but they respectfully declined.
They have over 1000 acres leased in the
neighborhood. During the hour the
well was opened it flowed five or six
times Mt rate that ii kept up would in
sure 800 barrels a day. The land for n
circle OF five miles is under lease, five
rigs started and two more to start Mon

New YoRx, Oct. lG.-The first OF the
series Of games for the worlds champion
ship, was played on the Polo grounds to-
day before 1900 people. 1t was a good
game, exciting ut the first, but slow to-
ward the close. 1t was a pitchers game
throughout, King and Keefe being about
equally effective. Mccarthy made n
great running catch and Ward
some neat pick-ups and then the
really brilliant work ended. Each
pitcher to6k entire charge after the
third inning. Gafiney was behind

gave satisfaction. Many OF the League
and Association directors were present.
The score was as follows:

The Wheeling Republicans are to be
congratulated on the very great success
ofthe demonstration. With rain falling
at nightfall, and even in the face OF that
to succeed in having the greatest parade
Wheeling ever had is n matter Of con-
graduation, especially to West Virgin
ians. The interest CT Chairman Matt. S.
Quay in the canvass in that State was
apparent from the large number Of Penn
syivania clubs in line, and even il moth
ing else was accomplished the opponents
OF the Protection idea were made angry.
"Whom the gods wish to destroy th0y
first make mad" The making mad part
was fully accomplished by the Republic
cans last night, for all admitted that
had the night been a moderately fair
one, Wheeling would hardly have held
the crowd. The town was packed as it
was. OF course the Democrats will en-
deayor to overshadow the parade on

Example Of Australian Journalism.
II was out there five and a alfyears," !" said
a newspaper man, speaking of Australia.
Melbourne is one of the finest cities of the
world, one in which there is great wealth.
There are number of fine newspapers in the
different cities of Australia. The work on
them is rather peculiar. There is, of course,
the local news and all that, but the most
important work is that Of editing the
cablegrams. European news is of the
greatest possible Importance, yet the tolls
are SO heavy-&2 word-that skeletoniz-
Ing in the highestdegree is necessary. The
London cablegrams come as one tele-
gram, run all together, you know, and first
1t must be cut up, the matter relating to
one subject being separated from the rest.
There will not be more than three or four
words upon any one subject, so you will see
that great padding is necessary. There is
no danger of being caught up with, as Che
English newspapers are forty-two days in
getting there. The day Of the great Hanlan-
Laycock race on the Thames we had in type
two accounts of the race, wholly imaginary,
OF course, one Of which made Hanlan win,
while the other made Laycock the winner.
The telegram came, sHanlan won six
lengths so we fixed up the Hanlan story
and put it in. The result was that column
account of the race, in which every detail
was given with great minuteness, appeared
next morning. You will readily see that to
do this work successfully man must be
thoroughly posted on the affairs Of the
world. New York World

The Chinaman and His Gods.

The Chinaman uses his gods chiefly to
drive away bad luck. He has an image Of
Nun Gun Chong Howa Pore, or the grand
mother god, over his bed. that nothing may
happen while he sleeps; god in the kitchen
to keep evil out of the cooking-gods every
where. But his real everyday guardians are
not gods at all. They are the spirits Of his
ancestors. He appeals to them in every mat
ter Of everyday life. To be sure, he believes
that his ancestors souls have passed into
other beings, and are living in human or ami
NAL form at the moment; still he stretches
his imagination to conceive that enough of
their essential spirits float around to pervade
their images and give aid when invoked,
These spirits are supposed to occupy the
space between earth and clouds. Above the
clouds the territory all belongs to the gods.
The ancestral spirits and joss are the super
natural aids that the Chinese in America call
upon. Joss, many centuries ago, was great
human dignitary, who was deified upon
DEATH The bad spirits are those of men who
were wicked in life or had some spite against
certain men still living. No one knows
whether mans soul was good or bad while
he lived, SO his death, which sets another
spirit free, scares Cinnamon mightily.-New

Old Coins as Jewelv.

Old coins, according to one Of our foreign
correspondents, are now freely used in Eng
land in the emanufactureo Of rich jewelry. Afri-
can gordians, Uranian antinnie, Charles VIII
crowns and st. John the Baptist forms make
odd pendants to the highly finished brooches,
chains and bracelets Of the Nineteenth CEN
tury; yet, on reflection, this combination Of
the very old and the very new is not as In
coDgruous as at first sight it may seem to be.
Whatever state their jewelry or other
branches of art industry may have been in,
the ancients, like the moderns, have applied
their highest skill at all times in the making
Of coins and medals. These little disks Of
gold and silver generally contain the por-
traits Of rulers or deities and naturally called
forth the best workmanship which the times
afforded. 80 accurately, in fact, were these
coins generally made that historians have in
many instances found on them missing links
in their narratives which could nowhere else
be supplied. We have, therefore, historic as
we'll as artistic grounds for commencing the
ancient coin jewelry. y.-Jewelers' Weekly.
