CHICAGO CRANKS ARE HAPPY.
Old Anse Leaves New York with a Small
Lead for the Pennant.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE hopes of the
base ball crank of the Windy City have
been built mp around the proposition that
if the colts left New York for the west
on this tripin the lead, the pennant would
float next year from Chicago pole New
York played tie game Saturday, Boston
didn't play and Chicago took the third of
the three games with Brooklyn, giving
Captain Arson lead of seven points.
Three games with the Pittsburg men Will
finish this tour, and the home grounds
will see the colts cavorting around for a
spell. If those Pittsburg games go An
sons way-but base ball is mighty on
sartin.' Boston and New York are very
close for second place--only one point be-
tween them. Following is given the
standing of the clubs:

Scarcely less foolish is the practice Of those who
fly to violent physieing for costivensss. Yhey
dose themselves violently weaken their bowels by
SO doing, and disable them from acting regularly
so that verify, the last condition of such people
is worse than the fret. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is the safe ard effective substitute for such
vast expedients, for it is by means expedient
TO use them. What is needed is gentle but
thorough laxative, which not only insures action
of the bowels without pain or weakening effects,
which also promotes healthy secretion and flow
OF bile into its proper channel. Dyspepsia, de-
bility, kidney complaints, rheumatism and ma
laria give in to the Bitters.

A TALK WITH SECRETARY FOSTER.

Comment on Bond Extension Condi-
ton of the National Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Secretary Fos-
ter was busily engaged in the treasury
department Saturday in catching up with
current business. He devoted considera-
Bile time consulting with the various
bureau officials on financial matterA
Later he talked quite freely to United
Press representative about treasury mat
tiers and the financial policy of the de-
partment: He said: About Sls, 800, 900 of
AZ per cent. bonds have been extended
and applications havv been received COW
ering about s., 10000 more. What the
final outcome will be of course | can not
tell. 1t is probable. however, that a con-
siderable portion of the balance-S30 000, :
000-will be extended.
Can Redeem the Bonds IL Called Upon.
twill be no hardship for the treasury
to be called upon to pay those not extend
ed. In fact such payment will add, by
the amount paid, to the money in the
hands of the people. By the extension we
succeeded in preventing decrease of ma
tional bank notes, and, in fact, have so far
increased this circulation nearly s., 600, 600.
The outlook is that considerable more of
an increase will be effected, l am not
finding any fault with the action of the
banks, as might be inferred from a recent
press dispatch.

Uncle Sam on a Gold Basis.
1--WE are on a gold basis, and there is
no occasion for alarm as to the ability of
the government to maintain this condi-
ton. The secretary has Ample power to
maintain or increase the present reserve
of gold. l may add that Mr. Sherman
fully agrees with me regarding the legal
power of the secretary as above expressed.
do not see any occasion for the exercise
of this power but l do not hesitate to
say that, should the occasion arise, | shall
not fail to use it,
The Enterprising Special.
The press dispatch referred to by Mr.
Foster wasa special TO the New York
Press in which it was stated that in the
interview with Sherman it "was soon
demonstrated that the ex-secretary did
not share the views of Mr. Foster upon
the subject. He thought the secretary
should pay the AZ per cents. and he un-
dertook to show how easy it was for him
TO do it without making trouble in the
financial world" etc. etc.

be done at once it is hoped, so that the
city will not be delayed in putting Second

while this improvement is being done
