Why They Cheer.

1t is not SO often that the band which
plays at the ocean promenade of Asbury
Park treats the seaside pilgrims to the
"Star Spangled Banner" but when it
does the applause is furious. Strangers
are surprised at the outburst until they
learn that it was this band which was
on the United States ship Trenton when
she was driven ashore in the cyclone at
Samoa, and which struck up the ma
tional anthem in the moment of danger,
eliciting cheers from tho British frigate
that was drifting by. The band is COM
posed chiefly of Italians, and its men,
bers ars an unusually modest as well as
melodious set Of heroes. s.-Philadelphia

A PLAN AGREED UPON.
Minnesota Worlds Fair Conmi i>si"mers
Hold an Important Meeting.

dOlu an Important meeting.
ST. PAUL, Sept. IA meeting of the
Minnesota State Worlds Fair commits
sion was held ut the governors office i'll
the capitol building. President D. A.
Monfort presided, and all the members
were present except NJ. B. Harrison Of
Duluth and Secretary Reeve, who is at
present on a trip through the North
west. There existed a unanimity of
opinion that it would be impossible for
the state to make an exhibit worthy of
its greatness without at least 500, 900 in
addition to the $4,000 appropriated by
the legislature. This being agreed up
ON. the first problem that faced the COM
mission was the ways and means of
raising the desired amount. The greater
part of the session was consumed in
discussing this question. All idea of
attempting to have an extra session of
the legislature called for the purpose of
appropriating the necessary money was
abandoned. 1t was decided to issue an
appeal to counties of the state, through
the public press, asking them to volun-
tarily contribute the amount, on the
basis of the assessed valuation of the
property as returned by the assessors in
1890. 1t was thought that when it came
to be appreciated that the assessment Of
only IL of a mill OH each 800 would be
sufficient to furnish all that was asked,
it could be secured by unity of action.
Of the amount required the two large
cities of the state would, under this
plan. contribute nearly one-half or $4G,-
900, and the balance could easily be
raised by the counties in this year of
bounteous harvests.
Nothing was heard of any member of
the commission resigning, and they all
seemed enthusiastic in their hopes of
making the Minnesota exhibit credit
able one. A prominent member of the
commission denied that any such action
was contemplated by any one, although
they all served without pay, and from
purely patriotic motives.
The commission adjourned at 2 p. H.,
subject to the call Of the president.

The Planet .Juniter

A radiant star will adorn the sky for
several months to come. 1t is Jupiter,
the largest and grandest planet Of the
solar system.
He is now in opposition With the sun,
rising at sunset, reaching the meridian
at midnight and setting at sunrise, be.
ing visible through the whole night.
Jupiter in opposition, or opposite the
sun, as the word implies, is at his great
est distance from the sun and nearest
to the earth. which accounts for his
superb appearance
This majestic planet is equal in vol
ume to 1900 worlds like ours, and casts
shadow that extends SO, ,0OO, 900 of miles
in space. He is called planet, but is
more like u sun, and probably gives out
some light and heat. The rapid changes
visible on his surface through the tele-
scope indicate the action of mighty
forces, and a possible condition ap-
proaching incandescence.
Countless ages must pass before the
planets fires grow low, and are succeed
ed by periods of development, perfec-
ton and decay, the three processes that
rule the material universe.
Observers, therefore, may watch the
progress of world making on this
stately member Of the suns family, as
the telescope reveals the varying belts,
the riffs, the bright spots. and especially
the famous red spot, showing that fierce
forces are raging within and beneath the
cloud atmosphere that cnvelops the
planet.
Those who are familiar with the
planets story will take deeper interest
i'll watching the course Of the bright star
that reigns supreme, and that may be
recognized at II glance as. looming above
the southeastern horizon like a young
moon. he makes his way toward the

Farmers Again Urged to Hold Their

ST. PAUL, Sept. l4.-Still another cir

OF The State, representing one faction of
the Alliance, urging the farmers to hold
their wheat for the present, with the
absolute certainty that it will advance
to $l.5O before next spring. The circular
is not long, but emphasizes the fact
that it does not matter how large the
crop may be, but what the farmers get
for it. 1t also devotes considerable
space to the shortage in Europe, and
concludes thus, Hold your wheat.
You cannot get left. Wheat is cheap at
$1.5O this year. You will soon see It
