FORAKER'S CHANCES.
Hon Ross j. Alexander GivOs His Views OF
Foraker and ths Ticket.

Hon. Ross j. Alexander Gives His Views o.
Foraker and tn : Ticket.
A REGISTER reporter found Hon. Ross
J. Alexander comfortably ensconced in &
big armed Office chair in his coy office il
Bridgeport, yesterday afternoon. Th'
honorable gentleman had his feet poised or
the edge of the desk and his legs encssed
il g pair of linen pantsloons He was as
he always is, in a good humOr, and con-
scented to talk on the denomination of Gov
ernor Foraker, and the general political
outlook in Ohio.
The news man led off with, "Were you
at the Columbus Conventions"
eyes, was there as a spectator; didn'
feel much interested in any Of the caIdi-
dates, except to see some of them de-
feated"
"What kind of convention was it?"
1.-THE Foraker men were there in force,
and were very enthusiastic. had good
deal Of fun, teasing some of the Belmont
and Jefferson county delegates, who op-
posed Foraker "
Foraker is strong candidate. The
fact that be ia after a third term will hurt
him materially, but he is a hustler and q
splendid stumper, and will make good
fight. There were lots of Democrats who
wanted Foraker nominated, simply be-
cause they considered him much better
man than Kennedy, who showed the next
greatest strength. Quite a number OF
Democrats were favorable to General
Dawes, because he ia d good, honest man,
and Henry BOIL, of Marietta, for year;
chairman Of the State Democratic commit
tee, was at the convention working fol-
Dawes. Senator Mahsffey, another prom
inent Democrat, was much pleased that
Foraker defeated Kennedy"
"How will Foraker run?"
"As 1 said before Foraker is a strong
candidate, and has given Us coed and
economical administration of State affairs
bat think the election will De very clOse
The vote will be light, because this is an
off year, ard think the D .mocrats have a
good fighting chance Of carrying the State

by Democrats staying at home"
''Are there any other factors that m }
work toward Democratic SUGGEST"
Eyes, unsatisfactory federal appoint
ments have been made and more Of then
will be made This will tend to weaker
the party, Just as it weakened the Democ
racy. One thing Foraker did will hell
him, by quieting party disturbances.
''What is that?'
In his spsech of acceptance he took oc
casion 10 say that if he is elected he viii
serve his full term as Governor, which
means that he will not be a candidate 70

EXPOSITION POINTERS.

Only nine days yet remain before the
opening of the fourth annual eXpOSi-
ton, and that this fact is apparent to all
is evident by the hustle which exhibit
ors are getting on themselves in order
to get ready. There is almost an army
of employees at work, and everybody is
busy. Gradually the litter is being
cleared away, and many of the exhibits
are assuming shape, SO it is safe to say
when the whistle blows on Aug. 81 the
most perfect exposition yet held will be
opened to the public. In point of gen.
eral interest, this will doubtless prove
the most attractive exposition of the in
dustries, arts and sciences yet held.
To begin with, the art gallery contains
by long odds the finest collection of
paintings yet seen on the walls, the
music is declared by good judges to be
the finest ever heard, the extra at
fractions are considered the best yet
secured, while the general exhibits are
the most novel yet seen. The parade
portions, and will doubtless be of very
imposing character. The militia will,
it is understood, take part, and num-
Der of the civic societies will, it is un-
derstood, make an appearance in line.
NOTES.
Company @, of the university, will, it
is understood, give an exhibition drill
some time during the show.
The Japanese village is preparing
some novel articles for use in its booth.
Fred lines writes that his new music
will captivate all Northwestern hearts.
He is securing the costumes to be worn
in his great spectacular piece, 1.-The
Congress of Nations"
Entries are coming in for the baby
show, and that will doubtless prove as
great feature as ever.

Congregation Hints on Read.
ing.
In his evening sermon on Reading"
Rev. W. j. Lhamon said: "Yon cannot
go amiss for good books, no for bad
ones, either. There is plague of bad
books on the world, as bad and almost
as thick as the lice and flies and frogs
of old Egypt, There are trifiing books,
books with false ideals and books that
distort facts and pervert history. one
sided books, books with half truths to
make their whole lies plausible, artistic
books with moral faint, poems that
should never have seen the light, fiction
that is not worth reading, romances that
create dreamy. abnormal. unreal state
of mind and trit1ing stories by the hun
dredS of thousands, carloads of them,
great rows of them at the stores,
train boys trunks full of them, poked
at you on the cars, meeting you in the
home, thrust at you by your friends,
seen in fiashy advertisements, reviewed
in the newspapers, and what is worse
about them, they are sure to be read by
somebody.
The world is full also of wholesome,
thoughtful books, readable, racy books;
books of history, poetry. biography,
essay, the wisdom of ages, the fancy of
poets and novelists, science, philosophy
and art, social life, politics and religion,
mythologies, mysteries and facts; be-
yOnd all, revelation itself and eternal
hope are all embodied for us, and made
everlasting on that crown of human in

would the world be without our Chris

large place as that collection of books
that tells about Jesus, unless it be Jesus

DOC AMEs THE DIsCOvERER
The Elixir of Life Is His Own
COncOctiOn

inc EllXIr or Life Is His own
Connection.
DR.. Brown-Sequard's discovery of an
elixir of life. according to reliable
authority who has been following up
clew for several weeks, is not his dis
cOvery at all. but wanton theft from
the escritoire of Minneapolis physi-
clan. This authority. who says he has
indubitable proof of his assertions,
maintains that DR.. A. A. AmeS was the
original discoverer of the Brown-Se-
guard elixir, and that Sequard, NJ. D.,
is a seal-brown fraud if he claims
it. DR.. Ames, so it is said,
elixir in the campaign of 1876
when he beat George A. Bracket for
mayor. Done up in small packages, it
was distributed by Ed A. Stevens
among the dinner-pail brigade. A sim
gle capsule of the elixir dropped into
WOrkingman's toddy or coffee opened
his eyes to what was going on about
him, and became iustantaneouSly all
Ames man. The Republicans were
paralyZed at the result, and did not
know how to account for it. In 1882 DR..
Ames again pulled through with the aid
of the elixir, but in 1884 an unfortunate
accident happened. 1t was during
house cleaning, and the servants mis-
placed the precious recipe. The elixir
factory had to shut down, and Doc.
Ames was beaten by 5000 majority, but
in 1886 he was all right again, and
would have been in the fall campaign
the same year if his managers had not
miscalculated the amount of the elixir
necessary to purge the state of Repub-
licanism. The supply fell short and the
campaign was lost. 1t is now said that
DR.. Ames' trip to Europe was not
caused entirely by the state
of his health, but that he
went to the old country to
manufacture stock of elixir for
1890. 1t is fact that the Republi cans
have of late been watching him very
close, and have obtained an inkling of
his secret. In a burst of confidence at
one time Doc Ames told some of his Re-
publican friends who were piously curl
Gus about this marvellous political
career the story of the elixir. Since
then the upward and onward course of
F. F. Davis and Freeman P. Lane,
which was before attributed to pure
nerve, has been partially explained.
How DR.. Brown-Sequ lrd get hold of
the recipe is not known.

About twelve years ago was in the

has to talk in high tone of voice for
me to understand. At a. m, on the
10th or September, some one called me
and said: 81 want a coffin" | awoke
instantly, lighted a lamp and began
to dress. My wife asked what was
the matter, and l told her that some.
one had called for coffin. She
said that she had not heard
any call. l went out into the street.
The moon was shining brightly; there
was no one in sight. l then went.
around to the store. and still did not
find any one, and went back to bed.
Along toward noon old man Joseph s..
young men, came into the store. Joe
said he wanted a coffin for his little boy.1
/ got it out and we agreed upon the
price. and l then began to trim the
coffin. Joe went out and l asked one Of

boy had died. He said 3 o'clock.
this morning. Had he ever been
in my store? No; but he
saw man buried in coffin that came
from here last week. "Well,' [ said,
she came and knocked on the doc: and
walked me up at this morning and said
he wanted a coffin" Now, my wife,
who had good ears and was very easily

On the 1St of October was called
again at a. m. in the same way. my
wife hearing nothing. got up again

MINNEAPOLIS.
JAMES INHERITANCE"

Mrs. F. f. Towers story, James In
heritance," has left the press, and in
modest paper cover presents its 143
pages 10 the public. 1t is unnecessary
to particularize that it is temperance
story, and that what the hero, James
Carr, inherited was an appetite for
strong drink. There is no politics in
the book, for Mrs. Towers is strictly
non-partsan in her temperance work,
but a good deal of love and some law.
Under the influence of liquor he stabs a
boon companion, and isheld for murder.
The brilliant young attorney, Frank
Simpson, who engages to defend him,
falls in love with Jamie's sister. Jeanne,
and having gained his suit there the
authoreSs excuses him from the defense
of jamie by kindly allowing him to die
in prison before his trial. The book is
not powerful one, though it is pleas
ing sketch, and the plet does not fulfill
the hope expressed in the GLOBE some
time ago that it would be ''cOrker."
Jamie was somewhat of an uncOrker
himself, but he has not much to do with
the plot. There is some very good
writing in the pages. and, on the whole,
the volume is an Improvement upon the
general run of temperance books.
