CORN AND CUPID.

An ear of corn and Cupid are not ap-
parently related. Poets have made much of
Cupid, and the beauties of field of corn
in tassel have often been celebrated in verse.
So much they have in common. But we
are more apt to associate corn with butter
and salt and pepper, than billing and COO
ing. Corn on the dinner table seems good
deal more natural than on the altars of
Hymen. Yet Cupid and corn 60 together in
Kansas all the time. There corn brings
Cupid's victims to Hymen.
This year has been anundantly prosper
GUS for Kansas. Her harvests have never
been SO great The corn crop was the
largest on record; that of wheat was phe-
nomenal also. Kansas is enjoying a
healthy boom upon the strength of an agri-
cultural yield worth hundred millions of
dollars. Cupid comes upon the heels of the
big corn crop, and he reaps among the
reapers. His arrows have flown among the
farmers who have found fatness in the fields.
Among the young people the matrimonial
movement has been most pronounced. There
were never SO many marriages IN Kansas
before. Nobody is SO poor that he cannot
take wife. The cribs are full of corn now
and marriage feasts are making the whole
State merry.
1t is not corn that brings Pittsburg
her present prosperity, though it Will help
her to keep it, but the same result of pros
perity may be seen here. There is a steady
demand for marriage licenses. Seventeen
were granted on Saturday las, and the num-
Der is steadily increasing. The earth is
very fruitful and marriage seems to be
very popular institution still.

THE REQUIREMENT FOR TRADE.

One of our leading manufacturing firms
is quoted, with regard to South American
trade, as saying that. while they have never
shipped any goods there, they believe that
''the great difficulty in the way of this city
furnishing South American cities with
goods is the want of transportation"
That improved transportation would
doubtless be great aid in increasing our
trade with South America, Is true; but that
it alone will make trade is great mistake.
Enough has been published on the subject
to show that our manufacturers must learn
what classes of goods the South Americans
need, and the form in which they wish them
shipped. When we have learned what sort
of goods will command the trade of these
countries, the next question will be whether
we can furnish them as cheap, or more
cheaply, than England or Germany.
That the transportation question is not
the only. or indeed the chief one, involved,
is apparent from the fact that Pittsburg
products are already being shipped to those
countries. The vessels which bring coffee,
sugar and other products from Brazil can
and do take back certain Pittsburg products,
and Will take back more when our manu.
facturerS study those markets for the pur-
pose OF supplying them.
OF course regular steamship lines will
greatly facilitate trade and should be pro-
vided. BUTT should be recognized that the
most important step in the development of
such trade, is the study of the wants and
capabilities of both continents, such as the
South Americans are now giving to our
country.

Harris, Theater.

The lovers of border drama turned out in full
force yesterday to see "Daniel Boone at this
popular playhouse. There wasn't bit Of
standing room to be had half an hour before
either performance. In the evening the side
walk was nearly blockaded by hundreds who
could not gain admission. Even this house,
always well patronized, has seen no such crowds
this year. AS for the attraction. it was the
same old frontier play, well rendered by ca
pable company, and the realism Of the en-
counters with red men heightened by the fact
that the Indians were real Cherokees, there be-
ing four braves, one squaw and the 'cutest lit
tie papoose, about years old, dressed in buck
skin and wearing feather headdress as large
as his fathers. His appearance interrupted
the action of the play for several minutes, the
audience going fairly wild over the comical
and unexpected sight of the little fellow crawl
ing out Of blanket and taking hold of his
fathers hand. The trained horses came next
to the Indians in the estimation Of the specta-
tors. There are half dozen Of them, all good
actors. The weeks business here will doubt
less be as big as that Of any week this season.

instituted against him. The thousands Of dol

Three Day. Of Awful Horror.

News has just been received that the steam
ship City Of Brooklyn, Of the Bristol Line,
when two days out on her last Eastward voy-
age from New York, rescued IA men and q
cabin boy from the wreck Of the Italian bark
Barone Podesra- The bark hailed from Genoa,
and was en- route from Pensacola to St Nizarre
with cargo of lumber. Early in the month
the bark sprang leak, and she steered for
New York. On September 10 she encountered
hurricane. Her deckload went overheard,
carrying the masts with Ii, and the bark cap
sized. The cook was washed overheard with
the deck load. The bark settled, and the bow
spirit and stump Of the foremast remained
above the water. The seamen put the cabin
boy in barrel. and lashed him to the bowsprit
with them. The 13 men remained clinging to
the bowsprit until September l3, when they
were rescued by the City Of Brooklyn. During
the three days they ate the raw salt pork that
washed up out Of the ship, and drank the rain
water that they squeezed out Of their clothes
after heavy rain storm. They were landed in
safety at Bristol, and turned over to the Italian

1T WASN'T KEELf'S MOTOR.
Some Excitement Among His Neighbors
About His Burglar Alarm.

From the Philadelphia Record.1
Residents in the neighborhood Of Seven
teenth and Oxford streets were rudely awak-
ened from their slumbers few nights ago by
the Changing of deep-toned~gong. Men,
women and children put their heads out of the
windows expecting to see terrible confagra-
tion. Two drowsy policemen who were
resting under neighboring awning awoke,
rubbed their eyes and then dashed
toward the scene of the disturbance at the
residence of Inventor Keely, of motor fame, on
the southeast corner Of Seventeenth and Ok
ford streets. 1t was the latter's powerful
burglar alarm that was ringing with might and
main Frantic neighbors shouted, thieves"
"burglars" in weird chorus.
The stalwart inventor dashed down his richly
carpeted staircase into the dining room, where
the family silver is stored. He ran plump into
the arms of the policeman, who promptly forced
the inventor to the floor, but instantly recog,
nized him and apologized. After the house had
been searched from cellar to roof without To-
eating any burglar, it was discovered that the
wind had blown q shutter against the gong,
causing the electrical apparatus to start. When
informed OF the cause of the row facetious
neighbor observed that he had an idea the
famous motor was about to mote.
