A Brokers Conscience.
From the Minneapolis Tribune,

from The Minneapolis tribune.
A broker of this town had some mining
stock which he had long regarded as worth
less, and one day, when he had an oppor-
tunity to get rid of it at pretty fair con-
sideration, he was very happy. That very
night, however, after he went home, he
received a telegram announcing that this
mine, of which ne had sold the stock, had
developed lead of extraordinary richness.
An hour afterward the purchaser of the
stock received telegram from the broker
who desired to see him Immediately upon
subject of great Importance. The buyer
called, and was told by the servant that
the broker was i'll and could not be seen.
'But must see him; have been sent for
by him not half an hour ago"
The servant went upstairs and brought
back word that the visitor might go up.
The broker was in bed moaning with
pain. The lights were turned low. When
the visitor entered the broker began:
"My dear Jones, / have had to-day
another of the dreadful attacks am sub
ject to, and am afraid this last one is 60
ing to do me up sent for you to confess
that l have taken advantage of you in a
business transaction, and | want to make
reparation before die. That mining stock

it troubles me that I took advantage of

pay you much for it, and can easily sell it
to somebody else"
''No. that will not do. want to take it
back and pay you back your money.

20, well, if you feel that way, of course
will give you it back"
VERY well, and while l am able to sign a
check will prepare one, aud in the mean
while you can bring back the stock"
The visitor went home, got the stock
and, returning it, received the check which
the now utterly exhausted broker had
filled out for him. He went away musing
upon the vicissitudes of human life and
filed with profound sympathy for the SCR
rowing family of the rapidly sinking
broker.
And the brokerl The moment his GUS
toner was out of the house he leaped out of

the rise in the value of the stock, meta
phorically kicked himself for his stupidity
in being taken in by brokers' "coa-
science"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The monthly
weather crop bulletin Of the signal service
bureau for October is as follows:
October has been cooler than usual in all
the agricultural districts east of the Rocky
mountains, except in Dakota.
/ The daily average temperature for the

About the same thermal conditions pre-
vailed IN the Middle Atlantic states, South
ern New England, and along the South At
lantic coast, while in the Gulf state the de-
nclency In the temperature ranged from
about L TO 4. There was a slight excess in
temperature in the Rocky mountain dis
tricts, and thence westward to the Pacific
coast.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
1t is now the time of year for statistics as
to chief winning owners. was prepared
for Mr.. Belmont's prominent position in
this list, but was indeed surprised to know
that his winnings amount to over $125, 900.
of which st. Carlo won about S29. 900. If
that colt had Won the Futurity, which he
should have done. it would have made a
difference of about $55, 900. and this would
have put Mr.. Belmont undisputably at the
head of the list. The most f1attering aspect
of Mr.. Belmont's success this year is the feat
ure that all the horses who won this money.
with two exceptions, were bred by himself.
The exceptions are Raceland and George
Oyster, both bought as two-year-olds at
large prices Oyster was a most disar-
pointing horse, winning only two races this
year, both at Brighton Beach, for be it
known Mr. Belmont did run horses at
Brighton Beach. Mr.. Belmont might per-
haps be termed 1.-THE Lord Falmouth of
America" but as it now stands Mr. Withers
runs him close for that title. 1t is, how
ever, most tiattering thing to Mr.. Belmont
that in the second year of his resumption
of racing he should have achieved sucn
phenomenal success. Without having gone
into the figures for myself it strikes
me that the Dryers are now the chief
winning owners of 1889; that Mr.. Belmont
comes next, Mr.. Haggin third on the list, and
Mr.. Scott fourth. Here, too, we meet a
surprising statement. Mr.. Scott's COM
paratively few horses have won $103, 600
Chaos Futurity alone lnetted over $1,000.
Torso won over 1900, Banquet over
$4,000, and ten others won the balance, and
all of them were home bred. The chief
money winners were sired by Ramon dor,
| and there is now no question that Mr.. Scott
possesses in this French Importation the
most successful stallion of the day. All of
this is very fattering to the fortunate Penn
sylvanian, who spent his money like a
prince in importing Ramon dor and never
lost faith in the horse which seems now
to have a long and successful career at the
stud.

The Old Dominion Republican League

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Old Domi-
MON Republican League took the
civil service commissioners hint, and did
not send a collector to each of the
departments to-day to get the assessments
of the Virginia clerks as they were paid off.
In fact the warnings of the commission
have had such wholesome effect on all the
state republican associations that they will
be more circumspect in their doings
from this time on. As soon as

THAT PURGEY BOY.
He Sends George Fisher Soaring Over
the Housetops.
From the New York Sun.

From the Netc York Sun.
STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn, Oct. 90
What will that Purgey boy do next?" is
the question at Stafford Springs. Young
Purgey is budding inventor. He attended
the Stafford Springs fair recently and saw
man undertake to make an ascension in n
hot-air inflated balloon, but the gas bag
failed to go up. The lad went home con-
WINGED that he could rig up an apparatus
that would ascend. First he got some
old wool sacks from the barn. sewed
them together and lined them with paper !:
then he tied cords to the fabric. and
gathering the strings together. puckered II
into something that was like balloon. He
didn't have basket that he could hitch To
the flying machine to steady it with. but he
had an idea OF what won be a feasible
substitute. In order to inject hot air into
the bag, he constructed little underground
furnace, in the way the Stafford fair aero
naut had done, built fire in it, and CON
Quoted the heated air thence through a
stovepipe Joint into the balloon.
The bag filed beautifully, and soon
began to sway and wabble and
betray yelling ambition to cut the cord
that bound, and soar away to the distant
Stafford hills. Young Purgey had invited
little George Fisher to be present at the
dsCoLSlou. dLu Wu6u Tue Time came Tor the
bag to be off, the youthful aeronaut broke
the news gently to George that he was
down on the bills to be the basket; he must
be tied to the balloon and go up with it to
keep 1t steady. The youngster demonstrated
feebly against soaring, but the condition of
the air bag indicated that no time was To
he lost, and the Purgey boy hitched hlm to
the balloon in a jitfy, and the ascension be-
gan at once. The balloon shot away like A
rocket, and up above the housetops il
scared, while the village of Stafford
Springs gazed heavenward and won
dered as it beheld a big dingy-
colored bag wabbling and ducking in
the air seventy-five feet from the ground.
and attached TO its bottom end small boy,
kicking and crying and yelling Justify
WHAT the soaring bag was, whittier it was
bound, and what would become of the
Fisher boy not one of the startled spectators
was cool enough to conjecture. But fear
for the safety of little George soon gave
place in the breasts of the witnesses to a
feeling of relief as they saw the domestic
balloon sway for moment or two in mid
air and then slowly flutter downward and
softly drop the scared urchin on the steps of
the Methodist church.
Stafford Springs at first nourished resent
ment against the Purgey boy, but it finally
concluded that alrs well that ends well
and it is possible he may be hired to make
the Stafford Springs fair ascension himself
next year.

Forty OF the Citadel Cadets at Charles
ton Made Sick.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 1.-Rumors
were prevalent here to-day to the effect
that large number of the Citadel Cadets
had been poisoned. They proved to be true
to this extent-about forty cadets have been
on the sick list for the past forJy-eight
hours. The surgeon Of the academy states
that they were poisoned by eating
mullet out of barrel which was
partly spoiled. About forty of them
were made sick, but all of them have
recovered, and the entire corps attended the
'Mikado" performance at the Grand Opera

the barrel were spoiled, and that the acct.
dent was unavoidable. All the sick cadets
