at the Grand hotel was crowded with visit
ors. After dinner he visited the state cap.

shown through the spacious structure by the
executive, who acted as guide After an
hour thus spent. he called upon Mrs Thomas
A. Hendricks and passed thirty or forty
minutes as her guest, the conversation nat
urally turning to the period when he and
her distinguished husband had been in active
public life together. Later in the afternoon
Judge Thurman, his son Allen, Governor
Gray and Chairman Jewett took a drive
through the principal parts of the city.
The reception TO Judge Thurman was ar
ranged for English's Opera house at o'clock
in the evening, the announcement being
made that while he would speak briefly, Gov
ernor Gray would make the principal ad
dress. By the hour announced for the
speaking to begin the building was packed,
and many were turned away at the DOORS
The judge was vociferously cheered upon bis
appearance, and after brief introduction
by Chairman Jewett he proceeded to dis
cuss the issues of the campaign, going over
the same line of argument as in his former
speeches. On introducing the subject Of the
tariff he remarked:
To hear a Republican speak on this subject you
would think that protection would make every
man, woman and child in the country as rich as
John Jacob Astor. On the other hand, TO hear
some of the opponents of protection speak you
would think it would certainly impoverish
everybody. 1t will do neither the Que nor the
other
As the speaker sat down the audience rose
and cheered him again and again. Quiet
was finally restored, and Governor GRAY
was introduced, and spoke at length upon
the issues of tue campaign

Medical men have long been familiar with
the fact that sanitation has been saving to
the community at large in doctors bills, in
nursing, and even in days Of labor to the in
dustrial classes But it has been difficult to
put results into figures so as to impress the
public mind. Mr.. Brudenen Carter at
tempted this in bis inaugural address to the
College Of State Medicine. Every case Of
fever, he calculated, cost the community SO.
The reduction in the annual death rate from
fever to 4S4 per million from the lS51-60 rate
Of COS per million represented a total saving
of 81, 10000, "but of this no one seemed
conscious while the annual cost Of scarlet
fever at the present time was $4,000, 900 a
year. If, therefore, we could trace scarlet
fever to a definite cause, as a bovine disease
communicable by milk, we could adopt pre-
cautions which would save the country
every year somewhere about half as much
money as the recent conversion of stocks,
besides much misery" Here is new light
upon disease. 1t is increasingly preventible,
and as we reduce its virulence and range we
save money. -Herald Of Health.

visit to New York. Mr. Sheerin says

land and Thurman. and are supporting
the national ticket with even more energy
than they are displaying in fighting each
other. Another thing which gives conf
dence to the democrats is the showing of
the registration. This is largely in excess
OF previous years, aud the increase is
most noticeable in the democratic pre-
clncts. Another incident in this connec

siasm Of our people, is that but compare

people TO register Heretofore it has been
almost impossible to get a full registra-
ton, owing to the apathy of the voters,
but this year they fairly tumbled over
each other in their eagerness to qualify
for the coming election.
New Jersey, which has always been
democratic in presidential years, is more
democratic than ever now. The result of
the Newark election is the best IN dicstiOn
of the situation in that state. At the last
previous election the city went 500 re,

was squarely made on national issues, the
democrats carried the day by nearly

nearly 2 800 votes.

Attempt tn Hold The Lead Market Up by
the Tail Results Badly.
CHICAGO, Oct 20 About year ago the
firm of N. Corwith q Co, lead merchants,
began an attempt to corner the lead market
by buying the surplusage Of the output Of
lead in this country, and the attempt has
ended in disastrous failure, involving mill
ions of dollars and probably the safety Of
several financial institutions in the east. II
was impossible to learn any details of the
great failure by interviewing representa-
tives of the trade, bankers and the junior
members OF the firm who reside here. The
attachment suits fled in the local courts
cover assets of the firm and the Corwiths in
dividually to the amount OF over $500, =
600, but in a general way it is known thai
the liabilities of the firm are at least s., 00O,
600. This, amount, however, has reference
solely to the recent purchases, including the
October delivery, and merchants interested
in the trade believe that even the amount Of
$1,000, 900 will be exceeded. The assets Of
the firm in this city consist of consignments
of pig lead in different warehouses, amount
ing, so far as known, to only about sl5, 900
in value. There are, OF course, bills receiva
lecture, because the resident partner, as well
as the attorneys and banks interested IN the
case, refuse TO talk about the failure.
The firm of N. Corwith & Co. is composed
of Nathan 'Corwith OF New York and Ma

was great rejoicing on the exchange when
the news of the failure reached there, and nj
sympathy was felt for the firm, as it was
considered that they had fallen into the pi,
they had dug for others. 1t is also reportet

aud treasurer Of the New Haven Wheel

concerns of that city, who is an ardent
advocate of tariff reform and the Mills
bill He sad. What we surely need is
a broader market. The wheelmakers of
this country can produce all the wheels
needed for year in much less than
wears time. We have trade with South
America now, but it might be much
grester. The South American markets
are open TO US when we can go there with
our goods and have the necessary faclli-
ties. The English and German carriage
makers have to rely on their native woods
and use oak quite extensively, although
they import good deal of our timber and
also good many parts of wheels. The
French carriage makers use q wood 8
good deal like our ash, although not so
tough. We can make better carriages
and wheels than the foreigners. We
have vastly superior machinery, and if
we get chance we can beat the world.
We need, as much as anything, steam
ship line to South America. An attempt
was made to start a line year or so
ago, but the project proved weskliug.

be benefit, iuasmuch as it would have q
tendency to revive our dropping shipping
interests. l think in that event we
should not have so much difficulty in
getting steamship line"
