citizens is Mr.. Robert A. Parke who has for
years identified himself with its best interests.
This gentleman is native of Parkesburg, Ches-
ter County, Pa, where he was born thirty-seven
years ago. His early education was obtained at
the Parkesburg Institute, and at seventeen he
was prepared for the Sophomore class at Lafay-
cite. After leaving college he entered the we'll
known banking house of Parke, Smith & Co.,
of his native place, where he remained about
three years, obtaining valuable experience of
financial affairs. He later entered the Office of
the general superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Altoona, Pa, he having been as
signed the position of assistant to the chief
clerk of the maintenance department.
At the end of two years Mr.. Parke was ap-
pointed special agent in the office of the general
superintendent of the Northern Central and
Baltimore and Potomac railroads. Acting in
this capacity, he obtained experience without
which his present important duties would be
hard to fill. Mr.. Parke was later appointed (by
his own request that he might learn every
branch of the business) assistant freight agent
at York, Pa In 1876 he was placed in charge
of the Pennsylvania Company's ticket Office in
this city, where he was located for period of
seven years. twas during this time that Rresi-
dent Garfield was assassnated, to which scene
Mr. Parke was an eyewitness, and it was
through him that the police were enabled to
capture the assassin without the slightest
trouble, as he seized and held him prisoner
pending the immediate arrival of the police.
Upon the reorganization of the passenger de-
partment Mr. Parke assumed the charge of the
Southeastern Division, which position he has
filled to the letter and holds at the present time
The position held by Mr.. Parke is one encum-
bered with arduous duties, requiring a man
peculiarly fitted by nature and temperament
The ease with which this railroad man superin-
tends the workings of theSoutheastern Division
demonstrates the rare ability and perfect fitness

for the important position he now fills. AS
resident of this city and a business man Mr..
Parke is esteemed the most by those who know
him best. He also is prominent member of
the various Masonic fraternities, including the

THE GRAIN PANIC.
German Merchants Lose Heay-
lily by Cars Ukase.
RUSSIAN RELIEF MEASURES.
The Crop Of Great Britain WIN Re an
Average One-Injury to Grain
Fields by Storm.

BERLIN, Aug. 1s.-The National Zeituno
says: herman merchants who made heavy
advances to Russian growers in April for
rye delivery in September will suffer
enormous losses and probably some fail
ures will occur. The situation is extremely
grave and the government is not paying
sufficient attention to it.
The Finnish senate will propose to pro-
hiblt the expectation of rye, otherwise it
is feared Russia will cut off supplies from
Finland. This will upset the plans of
Russian merchants, who hoped to export
rye via Finland.
The North German Gazette SAYS: The
present situation of the corn market shows
the economic and political Importance of
highly developed national husbandry,
making the fatherland independent of for
eign countries. and proves the necessity of
reform in the grain trade SO as to enable it
more easily supply Germany with addi-
tional breadstuffs.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1S.-It is known
that the imperial ukase prohibiting the ex-
portaton of rye was not only at first OPP
posed by the car, but it was also met by
opposition in other quarters. At first it
took in several other articles, but the car
consented to it only as issued, restricting
rye. The statement of the measure being
a political one is absolutely untrue. The
Russian government is now making

Prohibition Dead Issue in Kansas.

William Higgins, secretary Of state, has
written letter to the Rev. d. C. Miner,
of Manhattan, in which ne says that pro-
hibition is dead issue in Kansas, and
makes the prediction that no party in this
state will ever endorse it again. The Kansas
statesmen seem TO have turned their atten-
stion to writing letters. and sensations are
coming in rapid succession. This letter
from Secretary Higgins is the biggest sur
prise of all. He has been and is now the
acknowledged leader of the old crowd of
politicians. Mr.. Higgins SAYS that he is
opposed TO further political endorsement
of prohibition, and viii use his feeble
efforts TO prevent it, because it is wrecking
prohibition and endangering Republic
can success at every general election.
He declares that he is a politician,
and that the success of prohibition in
the past has been due TO the politicians 1t
is evident that the action of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and other
temperance organizations last spring in
supporting the Democratic candidate for
mayor has incensed the old crowd leader,
as he refers to their presence in the tenn
perance meetings ana their conduct at the
polls. ]. X. Hudson, editor of the Capital,
Speaking of the Higgins letter this morn
ing, said: at is a very good thing, from
the standpoint of those Republicans who
do not believe In the party taking up the
issue. / have always fought for prohibit
ton and do not believe that the party can
afford 10 drop it at this time. We have
won on that issue heretofore, ana so long
as the fight is forced upon US we must con-
tinue to be the champions Of prohibition.
I do not think, however. that Mr.. Higgins
intended his letter for publication"

FRENCH WINE GROWERS WIN.
SUCCESSFULLY Oppose Wine Merchants
Measures to Exterminate Phylloxera.


PARIS, Aug. 1s.-A somewhat novel syn
dictate has been formed at Epernay, in the
department of Marie, the entrepot for
champagne wines which are kept in vaults
in the chalk formation on which the town is
built. The members of the new syndicate
are all wine-growers of Importance, and
their association is formed with the object
of insuring its members against individ-
ual losses through the ravages of phyllox-
era by compensating for losses through
mutual subscriptions. A meeting to pro-
mote the object in view was held
yesterday at Epernay, being at
tended by about 5000 members
of the syndicate. In addition to
other matters brought forward, the meet
ing discussed the adoption of means to
protect the vineyards against the phyllox-
era. Just as decisive vote in favor of
this measure was upon the point of being
taken there was hostile demonstra-
ton which nearly resulted in serious
physical conflict A body of the
wine growers belonging TO the syndicate.
but opposed to taking any preventive
measures calculated to protect the vine
yards against the phylloxera, noisily en-
tered the hall where q meeting was being
held, shouting to the full extent of their
lungs: "There is no phylloxeraw Down
with the wine merchants!" The new
corners having previous to their arrival
upon the scene obtained numerous and
powerful voting powers from the members
of the syndicate who were unavoidably or
Intentionally absent, succeeded in turning
the tide of affairs against those who were
in favor of the protective measures and
stopped the vote about to be taken in favor
of that motion, and triumphantly elected
a committee known to be uncompromis-
ingly hostile to preventive measures,
such as those referred to. The wine grow
ers accuse the wine merchants of invent
ing the "phylloxera shares" and oppose
the proposals of the minister of hus-
bandry, who is of the opinion that certain
duly qualified inspectors, approved by
the syndicate and by the minister
of husbandry, should have the right to
enter all vineyards even against the will
of their proprietors in order 10 prevent the
spread of phyllouera, which, the opposi-
tionists claim, does not exist among the
VINEYARDS owned or controlled by men,
bers of the syndicate. The association
numbers 1900 wine growers among its
members.
