An Immense Fail Trade.

All signs must fail if the trade of the
season, just now opening, shall not be
the largest in volume and the most pros
porous TO all connected with it, of any
year during the last decade. The crops
are the largest of the country's history /;
they are equally bountiful in every Sec
ton and calling, and they are certain TO
command the the highest prices because
of the general crop failures abroad. The
increase of food exports alone must
reach full hundred millions in excess
of our ordinary sales abroad, and there
must be general prosperity because IL
begins at the fountain of industrial
product--the farms and homes of the
land. There can be no lack of general
public confidence to hinder the realiza-
ton Of the prosperity our exceptional
position assures us. The crops are safe;
the demand is not prospective but real;
the ability of consumers, both at
home and abroad, to pay for
what they need is not doubtful, and the
tide Of business advancement that is ap-
preaching is absolutely substantial.
Speculative tides are always mis-
fortune. They infame the business
world as brandy inflames the patient,
but they give no enduring strength.
They rush through their brief course
and stagnation follows; but when abund-
ant products are met by waiting markets
and plenty and good prices come
together, there must be sound and safe
prosperity. Never during the last score
of years have our business men entered
upon so promising fall trade as that
now just opening, and those who fail to
win fortune must be either incompetent
or faithless to themselves. Even in the
coming unusual tide of profitable trade,
il will not seek the sluggard or the fogy.
1t must be sought by those who are
ready to profit by it, in obedience to the
new lights and methods of the evening
of the nineteenth century,; and the man
who dreams that trade will hunt him
out and heap fortune upon him, would
do well TO take refuge in n lunatic
asylum at once. We have an immense
fall trade just about to open for all who
understand how to gather the rich
harvest before them, and let all wisely
welcome it and enjoy its countless
| blessings.

THE woRLD,ssFAIR.
Congress to be Asked for $500 900 or
S7.Ooo,OOO Moroccan Appropriation or
n Loan?

E1,OCO,OUo more--An Appropriation or
n Loan?
CHICAGO, Sept 2.-Congress is to be
asked TO loan the Worlds Columbian
Exposition $5,000,000 at least, and per-
haps $7,000,000. That is the decision
of the national commissioners, and the
Chicago directors are giving them
strong moral support. For two days a
special committee has been holding ses-
sions, discussing the best policy to pur-
sue in getting the loan. This committee
is composed of Gen. st. Clair Of West
Virginia, and G. V. Massey of Delaware,
both influential members OF the national
commission, Director-general Davis and
Directors Gage, Baker and Jeffrey. All
agree that Congress ought to make the
loan, but how to get IL is the question
under discussion. Many of the mem
bers declare that Congress should make
an outright appropriation of at least
S5,000,0O0. They argue that the United
States has more at stake than the city of
Chicago and should be liberal and mag
unanimous. Six million dollars have al
ready been secured by popular sub
scription, and the city of Chicago has
issued bonds for S5,000,0 900 more.
The national board of lady managers
of the Columbia Exposition met here
this morning and proceeded to the cleo
ton of secretary as the first business
of the session. II was supposed that
there would be something of a struggle
to replace Miss Phoebe Couzins in that
position, but without much opposition
Mrs. Susan Gale Cooke, who has been
occupying the place since Miss Couzins
was deposed, was duly chosen.
Congressman w. NJ. Springer Of ILL
nois, who introduced the amendment in
the Worlds Fair bill which created the
board of lady managers, was present
and complied with request from Mrs.
Potter Palmer to address the ladies.
Mrs. Palmer presented her report.
She said in part: "When we adjourned
a year ago we were completely under
the direction of the national commits
sion. Now we are practically an indie
pendent body. Then we did not know
where the money for our work was to
come from. Now we have received APP
preparations. We have been given
complete control of the woman's build
ing and those affairs which naturally
come within the womans department.
"Salaries have been voted to our Off
cers-$5, 900 per annum has been prof
fered the president and $4,000 the secre-
tary. The commission shows its kindly
feeling toward us by assuring rs that in
case Congress refuses to give US appro-
priations we must not give up, but may
continue as board"

AN .aLLIGATOR FIGHT.
A Big Old saurian Captures Boy, But
Drops Him.

HAVANA, Aug. ga man named
Camilo Marin, accompanied by his two
sons, Andres and Manuel, aged 6 and z
years respectively, went to gather fire.
wood in the forest near Tunas de Zaza.
Upon reaching the forest the man
entered, while the boys went into the
River Ballabacoa TO battle, as was their
custom when accompanying their
father.
In short time Marin heard screams
from the children, and, rushing back to
the river, found Andres in the grasp of
an enormous alligator, which had seized
the boy by the right shoulder and was
making off into deep water with him.
Drawing his machete Marin sprang into
the water and went to the rescue of his
boy.
When he reached the spot where the
boy was struggling in the grasp of the
alligator the saurian dropped his prey
and attacked the man. After throwing
Andres to place Of safety Marin ste
ceeded, after desperate struggle, in
killing the alligator. Marin escaped
unhurt. The boy is badly wounded,
but will recover.

He May Look Awkward But He Has a
Nimbic Tongue.

The toad is most entertaining
creature If you take him in his way.
He is far more useful than he is pretty,
and, for that matter, in point of useful
ness he is more of a success than in en-
Pertaining his hearers with his lugu-
brious music.
The toad has the same ardent love for
a dinner of bugs and insects that a
darby has for a hunk of watermelon, or
a small boy for green apple. On this
account great many well-posted gar
deners always turn into their gardens
any stray toads that come hanging
around the premises, and it is dead sure
that the man who has good crop Of
toads has small crop OF insects.
The toad looks like small creature,
and In some things he is. But in his
way when he is fishing for bugs or flies
he has no flies ON him. He has them in
him before he is done. The best place
to watch the interesting method of
catching his dinner which the toad in
dulges IN is under some of the open gas
lamps about town. Bugs, moths, and
all sorts of insects come to the fire to
have their wings singed. The singing
properly done the insect falls to the
ground.
Under nearly every lamp every night
one or more toads loaf around. When
the singed bug drops down, the toad
looks upon it as an invitation to rise up,
Sandy, and get your meal. He hops a
little closer, then, crawling as slyly as a
cat, he sneaks up toward the meal.
When within about two inches he stops,
winks once, gives his head little jerk,
and the bug is gone to where it will do
the most good.
The toad has long tongue, and this
tongue pops out and catches the luck
less insect. Although the toad looks to
be an awkward, indolent fellow, he is
really one of the most interesting of
natures creatures, and few minutes
spent in watching him at his supper will
be quite entertaining.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA special from
San Francisco says; The schooner Pan
nonia which left the Marshall Islands
May list for San Francisco with IL per-
sons aboard, was wrecked on the reefs
to the northwest of the Hawaiian
Islands and all on board lost.
Tho crew numbered seven men, nearly
all Americans, and Captain George d.
Lovedale had his wife and three children
aboard. The vessel left San Francisco
in February last with cargo Of general
merchandise for trading with natives OF
the South Sea Islands. She had on
board six whale boats and handsome
yacht for King Babalanj, the ruler of
one of the islands. She arrived safely
at Jaluit after passage Of 80 days and
discharged her cargo in good order.
She shipped load Of capara and left
for San Francisco. Forty days later a
whaling schooner found one of the
small boats floating bottom up near the
scene Of the wreck.
Captain Lovedale was one of the old
est and best-known seamen on the coast
and was for years harbor master at San
Diego. He was possessed of consider
able property and made a will only a
few days before he sailed. The schooner
Hannonia was comparatively new
vessel. The crew, cargo and everything
are now at the bottom of the Pacific.

CLEAR rnnoueH STEEL Plate
Terrible Destroying Power Of the Armor.
piercing Shell.

SANDY Hook, N. j., Sept. 3.-The
new armor-piercing shells were tested
this afternoon. One shot was fired with
some success, inasmuch as the projectilc
knocked out corner of the 4t-inch
steel plate, instead Of piercing it, as it
should. This is probably accounted for,
however, by the fact that the gun was
sighted for that portion of the plate to
save 1t for further shots, and thus spare
the necessity of putting in new shield
at each shot.
The she'll, which weighed $50 pounds,
went through the plate and then ex-
ploded in the barrier of sand, immedi-
ately in the rear of the shield. The
projectile passed through a second
wooden target, about 100 yards behind
the shield, and was found 800 yards
from the gun. The firing velocity of
the gun is $40 feet per second.
This experiment was to determine If
1t is possible to put shell through the
deck of a steamship by a system OF firing
known as high-angle firing, the shell
first piercing the deck and then explod-
ing In the hold of the vessel. Flfty-one
pounds of powder was used. Large
pieces of the plate were found 100 yards
from the gun.

A PUZZLE MENU BANQUET.
A Novelty in the Way of a Feast--The
Guests Choose Doubtful Dishes. but
Find Everything First-class.


Guests Choose Doubtful Dishes. but
Find Everything First-clnss.
A "puzzle menu" banquet was given
in York, Pa, Thursday night, and the
Daily gives the following interesting ac-
count of it:
Every guest was rendered neat and
artistic invitation card, upon which was
written the menu from which guests
could order any dish named thereon,
and the fact that very many of the
dishes, as given in the bill, were enigmas,
some very funny and in fact ludicrous
mistakes occurred, which caused great
deal Of merriment. The menu, which
is something new, is certainly anovelty,
and was as follows:
The desert enchanter, Dyspepsia's friend,
.,,, a minister's preference, -.
Love apples, A young mans sweetheart
Tabby's party, loves panacea,
A gold-headed staff,
Hard gold and silver, A girls delight
A dream producer, The spinster's beverage,
A cold vowel.
The above menu was very generally
understood by the knowing ones, and
along this line the ladies were the best
judges, for 1t goes without saying that
they will invariably call for ice.cream,
which great majority did, by asking
for a cold vowel. Well, perhaps they
were just as well off, for after all they
could get just as substantial meal out
of coffee as they could out of ice-cream.
We would, however, advise them here
after to do as did the clothier and the
| furniture dealer: Take the whole
bill and feel sure that they arc not left.
Following is the menu translated,
which it took some great willie to find
out: For instance, one Of the young
gentlemen never thought of the great
Sahara and sandwich in the same breath,
but says he could swallow the latter
with more ease than the former dys-
pepsia's friend-Saratoga chips, was not
| so often mistaken, and minister's
preference-fried chicken was not mis-
taken by one member of the fraternity.
mpertinence-Sauce.
An unruly member-Cold tongue.
Love apples-Tomatoes. OIL N.Y.
You should have seen the doctor STUN
Bile and fall over something which he
supposed was pickle.
| A young mans sweetheart-Honey.
Tabby's party-Catsup.
Loves panacea-Pickels.
A gold-headed staff-Bread and but
| ter.
Hard gold and silver-IIard boiled
eggs.
A girls delight-Well, the gentlemen
nearly all understood that having once
been young and having had some prac-
teal experience along this line, ordered
ice cream at the proper time.
A dream producer-Fancy cake.
The spinster's beyerage-Tea.
| A cold yowel-Cotfee.
