A report of the harvest prospects il
Europe has been received by the Gov
ernment. In France the harvest will be
81 per cent. less than 1890, and the
yield in that country will be far short
of the amount needed for home con,
sumption. The various other wheat
growing countries report the same fall.
ing off in the harvest, and scarcely any
European country will this year raise
enough for home consumption, and
Europe looks to this country for its
bread supply.
The hope of all Europe is built on the
ability of this country to send it wheat,
and vast quantities will be needed.
Fortunately for Europe, and more for
tunately for this country, the reports
from our harvests show we will be able
to send Europe all the wheat she wants.
The immense harvests in this country
this year are singularly providential,
and hungry Europe can be fed from our
well-filled store houses. This means a
return of gold to this country in pay
ment for our wheat; it means year of
prosperity to our farmers; year of ex-
cellent business to our railroads, and
gives the most encouraging outlook for
prosperity and excellent business this
year.

Mr.. F. NJ. GoRMAN, of Cincinnati, in
a speech in the Democratic Convention
told great truth in reference to the
free coinage plank. He said, "a Piute
Indian would be the natural candidate

the Democracy adopted that platform.
Are the free coinage men not more in

Democrat so asserts, it must be true.

A CRISIS IN AN ELEVATOR.

| Cincinnati Enquirer.
Mr.. Douglass Brown was seated in
the elevator of the Kankakee building
yesterday afternoon when a sudden cry
from the elevator boy awOke him from
the brown study into which he had fall
en-, to face terrible danger. The ma
chinery had refused to work, and the
cab was tearing up toward the roof at
an alarming rate.
The elevator boy, Charlie Miller, real
lied this just after the cab started, and
when the third floor was reached, threw
open the door and threw himself out,
receiving a severe blow from the door
jamb as he did so.
Mr.. Brown instinctively realizing that
something wrong had occurred sprang
to the rope and endeavored to stop the
cab. This proved futile, for the ma
chinery below refused to obey the ten
sion of the rope. AS the fourth floor
was passed Mr.. Brown took a good look
at the door, and more particularly the
knob, for he had made up. his mind to
initiate the action of the boy and es-
cape from the cab. The thought that
if he did not succeed he would probably
be killed caused him to brace his nerves
for supreme effort.
When the knob came in sight he
reached up and by a quick motion threw
it back. Then he jumped out, landing
on all fours on the floor of the Western
Union Telegraph Company's operating
room. His sudden appearance rather
frightened number of young ladies
who were near the shaft at the time.-
Just as he struck the floor he heard the
cab crash through the ceiling, the start
ling sound being followed by the crack
ing of timbers and the breaking of glass.

ONE DIAMONDS STORY.

ONE DIAMONDS 5 STORY.
, The jewelers. Weekly
Twenty-three years ago last February,
as Newark IN. j. jeweler was about
to close his store one stormy night, a
shabby young man entered and offered
to sell him gold ring containing dia-
mond stone surrounded by circle of
smaller gems. He asked $3.50 for the
ring, saying that it was all he had in the
world. The man said he must dispose
of it that night, but his anxiety made
the jeweler more fearful, and at last he
firmly refused to have anything further
to do with the matter until the next day.
| On the morrow the visitor came again.
The merchant bought the ring. He re-
set the stone in lady's ring and month
later it was carried away by happy
lover, and it sparkled on the hand of a
blushing bride in high life soon after.
Ten years later the same jeweler paid
a half f-starved, shivering woman exactly
what her lover had paid for the ring a
week before her marriage, and as she
led away her golden-haired girl she felt
that she was rich with what she would
have thrown aside decade before. The
next purchaser was portly old gentle
man, who gave the stone to his young
wife, whom he had taken from her
school books to assume the management
of grand old mansion.
1t was just two years ago that the old
gentleman, still hale and hearty, entered
the jewelers. store, leading by the hand
a bright eyed little fellow whom he in
| trOduced as his son and heir. Then he
stated the object of his visit He said
the ring reminded him too much and
too painfully of the fair young mother
who never saw the face of her baby boy.
AN ELEPHANT DUEL.
The Weeks Sport.
About 700 or 800 yards below the crowd |
watching the fight were two tuskers !
The one somewhat nearer us, burly, |
stout built beast, with short, powerful |
tusks, was evidently getting much the |
worst of the combat, and the furrows in |
his sides and rear plainly indicated |
seams run by his antagonists tusks. On
the rise of the hill was his rival, still
larger animal, possessing the advantage
of longer, cleaning tusks. 1t was lost
fight, and in few minutes the victor,
with a quick rush at the other, made a
good thrust at the side, and though
there was a severe struggle, the tusk
went in its full length.
The wounded tusker's roar of pain
and rage was pitiful to hear, and though
he would have escaped if he could the
other kept close behind and administer
ed thrust after thrust, but not in any
vital part. Presently, wheeling around,
they came together with mighty i
smash. This was about the only stand
made, and the weaker was quickly over r
powered by the more powerful and
fresher victor. The thrusts, now put
behind the shoulder and into the body,
quickly disabled the poor brute, and in

THE SUB-TREASURY PLAN DOOMED.

1t can be safely predicted that the
absurd sub-treasury plan will never
reach any considerable political prom
inence. The agitation in its favor has
already eliminated. The Farmers AL
lance is divided regarding it, and what
was not strong when backed by the
united farmers is becoming pitiably
weak now. The Alliance in South Car
olina has split on the question, and
Governor Tillman, the Alliance Gov
ernor, has taken the stump against it.
In Mississippi, the fight for the United
States Senatorship is upon the issue,
and defeat is almost certain for the sub
treasury advocates. The Missouri AL
lance is opposed to the scheme. The
Texas organization has virtually repu-
dated it, and the order in Kansas is said
TO be hopelessly divided upon the ques-
tion. In such chaotic state, the time
when the whole foolish paternalistic
scheme is dropped for good is not far
ahead.
From the first we have believed this
would occur. The great mass of the
farmers of the United States are too in
telligent to believe that any good can
come from government store-houses for
grain and farm produce, and an attempt
to corner the produce and cereal markets
of the world. They know how disastrous
the speculative corners were in stimula-
ting wheat production in India and
Russia, and manifestly corner by the
government would be equally injurious.
Besides, the more the scheme is studied
by the farmers, the more utterly foolish
and impracticable it seems. The cost
of the store-houses and the ex xpense of
maintaining them are insurmountable
obstacles to its success. Even if it
could be carried out it would cost vastly
more than it could possibly be worth,
while the attempt to put into operation
would be attended by such jobbery as
to disgust everyone. The farmers are
beginning to appreciate all this, and
discarding the sub-treasury scheme as
out of the question 1t is tough on the
Alliance agitators to have them do so,
but it shows their wisdom and hard
common sense, and is the farmers
safety.
THE COPYRIGHT LAW AND ITS CON-
SEQUENCES.
Harpers Weekly.
The precise consequences of the new
Copyright Law can not be foreseen, ex-
cept that the more popular authors, for
whose works there is positive demand,
will secure an American copyright.
The satisfaction in the passage of the
law is largely ethical. 1t is a triumph
of fair play. Exceptions could be easily |
taken to certain provisions, as we have |
said during the progress of the dis
cussion. But the satisfaction is that
nothing which has been gained will be
now abandoned, while imperfections in
the operation of the law can be remedied,

Pretty Combinations and Taaty Orna-
mentationa.
For girls who attend school, wooden
dresses made with the guimpe are pretty
and serviceablc. For instance, q plaid
of navy blue with some red in might
have o guimpo OF the plaid and an
other OF plain blue; or il there Is not
enough goods for the plaid guimpe
mako one OF plain blue and one OF rod,
with tho sleeves of tho two cut differ
emily. In this way tho appearance Of
tho dress can DO greatly changed and
without trouble. and rs the sleeves are
always the part that giyos out first tho
two guimpos will be found to pay. In
some cases a white flannel guimpe will
be useful in giving plain school gown
more dressy appearance for afternoon
or evening wear.
a pretty way to make tho dress re-
ferred TO Is to make the front In two
pieces. tho front edge Of oach pioco pass
ing from the shoulder to little beyond
the center OF the waist line, thus over
tapping each other at tho waist line,
and showing the guimpe in v shape,
reaching half or two-thirds Of tho way
from the throat 10 tho waist The front
edge OF zach Of the front pieces should
be cut the straight way Of the goods, to
avoid drawing or stretching, and bring
Ing the under arm and waist line seams
on the bins. This is peculiarly pretty
way to make plaid, and with plaid
goods the skirt should be bins too.
Another becoming dress for most girls
from four TO eight years of age. Is made
with full skirt and blouse waist, and o
short round jacket which reaches to tho
whist line but not to the bottom OF tho
blouse. This jacket usually has sleeves
reaching two-thirds of tho distance from
the shoulder to the elbow, though some
times they are made longer a very
pretty combination for this suit Is a
dark red cashmere dress and black vel
vet jacket; q plaid suit with jacket
nado of plain goods to match. Is equal
