The Opening Rather Hesitating-An
Advancing Tendency With One or
Two observation-disclosures ut the
Noon Hour.

NEW 1ORks december 3.
The opening of the stock market here to day
was rather hestating, but a firm tone was soon
developed and prices, except in Missouri Pacific
and one or two others, showed an advancing ten
dency. The buying increased rapidly, and be-
fore the end of the first hour the losses in the
weak stocks had been recovered and fractional
gains established all along the line. The move
ment halted at noon and dullness overlook the
market, but the demand again increassd d in the
last hour, and the best prices of the day were
generally made at that time, The lack of fea-
ture was still very pronounced however, and the
market closed dull but firm to strong at about
the top figures of the day. Burlington was the
leader in strength and activity. a few special
ties, such as Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western
preferred and Great Northern preferred, scored
material gains.
Railroad bonds showed improvement in
temper, and the number of issues traded in was
largely increased. Total sales, 81, 797 900.

He heeds not the flower, vine, rose or thorn.
The same to him as he reaps along
Falls the tender plant with ripened sheave.
And he gathers from those he deeply grieves
He comes in the morn, near rising of sun;
He comes at noon, his work not done;
He comes at eve, he is there to CLEAN
The fruit of his labor in sorrow seen.
Have pity and stay thy hand, o! Death.
IT'S the fairest of earth fall at thy breath.
Young maidens are called; ripe manhood slain
We grieve for the father and mother in vain.

A Great Poker Player.

Charley Farwell is the best poker
player in the United States, and that
means in the world, said one OF his
recent colleagues who knew the Chica-
go statesman well. He is not only
the best poker player-a distinction
which any man might be proud to
wear, since poker tests the metAa OF n
man as nothing else will-but he is a
likable, lovable fellow. He was as
popular II man as there was in the
senate, one who in the senate could get
as much done simply by making re-
quest of his friends as any member OF
that body. Farwell leaves Washing
ton sincerely mourned by large num-
Der of senators, democrats and repub-
licans. His chief fault was frankness,
and that did him more harm than any
one else. Chicago Tribune.

Royalties Paid to Authors.

The royalties paid to authors on
their books arc too often misrepre-
sented by photographers. The vast
majority of authors do not receive u
higher royalty than 10 per cent on
their published books. Those more
popular, and whose books are sure of
sale, receive ID per cent, but an au-
thor's reputation must be pretty we'll
established before he finds that figure
in his publishing contract. A royalty
of 20 per cent is given to but a very
few-only those who can afford to
make their own terms with the pub
fishers, and any one well informed in
literary matters knows how small is
that class Of authors. In 80 cases out
of 100 the success of book is always
larger in the public estimation than it
is on the publishers books. Authors
often wish that their receipts from q
book might be proportionate to the
public estimation OF it. There are no
things so entirely and radically dis
tinct as what the public thinks of the
success of book and what the author
and publisher know.

Free Sugar and the Golden Organs

Free sugar is still troubling the
Leader and other organs of the Golden
Club and Importers League. An edi.
torial in the Leader says: The peo-i
pie who raised and made sugar had no.
hold on the republican party: so the
tariff could come off of that. But the
fellows who make iron and cloth and
tin and crockory and wearing apparel
put money into the Republican cam
paign. and they must be paid II tariff
upon the people, That is Il stilted
statement of multifold conjunctions
that is very easily punctured. The re-
publican party placed bounty II two
cents per pound upon every pound OF
sugar produced in the United States,
which is just about the average protec-
ton for home sugar growers that was
proposed in the Mills bill, which was
endorsed by the Leader and all other
democratic papers and speakers. The
republicans have never mado proteC
tion sectional. Every provision in the
Mckinley tariff law is National in eX-
tent. The Mills bill was sectional, in
favor of the Solid South, and the Solid
South rules the democratic party.
American sugar growers have equally
as much protection under the Mckin-
ley law as any other class of pro-

One favOrite food of the African ele.
plant is the tender, juicy root of the
mimosa tree, which grows in scattered
groups through most OF the meadows
and lOwlaLds OF Central Africa. When
an elephant fiEds young tree OF this
sort, it is not difficult, as q rule, for
him to get ut the roots, especially il
tho surrounding soil is moist and
loose. as is often the case after it has
been soaked by the heavy rainfall of
the tropics. II the tree is loose, the
elephant knowing his strength, winds
his trunk firmly around the tree and
plucks it from the earth. feat which
is no harder for him than the pulling
up of flower is for child.
But the elephant does not stop here;
experience has taught him the most
comfortable way OF enjoying his
prize, so that without relaxing his
hold he turns the tree completely over
| and stands it with its branches thrust
down into the place where the roots
were. Then the earthly roots now re-
! placing the branches, remain within
easy reach of the strong and deft
! trunk.
African travellers tell US of great
tracks OF country almost covered with
these inverted trees. Seeing the dried
leaves turned upside down enc would
be more likely to think II wood had
, been reversed by mischievous FAIRIES
than to suppose hungry elephants had
been feeding there.
Sometimes an elephant will find a
tree which deties his greatest effort
and absolutely refuses to be uprooted.
But the elephant does not give 1t up.
Not ut all. He either brings another
elephant to help him-a thing they
often do when the work is too much
for One-or if he cannot find friend
he sets his own wits to work. He
makes use OF his tusks as levers.

The Women sleep UntI Noon.

The manager of great New York
store says that of late years it has
been next to impossible to transact any
business with the women customers of
the house during the morning hours.
The men go to business and their
wives lie abed until noon" said he.
This is less a rule in dwelling houses
than in flats. Those wives who man
age whole houses have so much to do
that they must be about betimes, but
the omen in the apartment houses
have little care and take life easy. II
we try to collect debts or send goods
for inspection in the forenoon, as soon
as our men see that the customers adj
dress is in fiat house they know they
will be told that the madame is not

THE GREAT GUNS.
What They Cost to Mako and Keep in
working Order,


The forging OF the immense guns is
a most interesting process. The rihed
guns OF the present are made by rein
forcing the tube with rings and repeat
ed layers Of steel called jackets, which
are fitted one over the other over the
original tube or barrel of the gun. The
jackets or hoops must fit as closely to
the gun as IL forming an integral part
of its composition. The only way to
get them on is, OF course, by heating,
and thus enlarging them. When they
cool they fit snugly. 1t is evident that
the exact size OF the jacket and ring
when heated so that it can DO put in
mathematical calculation. The coarse
powder now used makes such havoc
with the rihing OF the largest guns that
100 charges are about all that can be
expected from them. The jackets and
rings can then be removed and fitted to
another tube.
The various parts OF gun are not
put together at bethlehem, but arc
sent to Washington, TO a department
OF the arsenal called the assembling
room, where the tube Is riaed, and the
gun is finally completed. A steel gun
OF the largest caliber costs about 800,
900. The ordnance of our modern
navy is therefore one Of the most costly
items for which congress is expected
to display a patriotic generosity

POLITICAL READING.
Saloons Never Satisfied.

The saloon keepers Of Elgin, ILL.,,
have refused to pay the 81 900 license
placed upon saloons by the council OF
that city and are now running without
liccusc, by permission Of the retiring
mayor whose attorneys are endeavor-
ing TO enjoin tho mayor-elect and thus
perpetuate the reign of tho saloons.
The saloons are never satisfied. When
u prohibitory law is enforced they
plead for high license, whep high Ii
conse is the law they clamor for low
license. and when they obtain low Ii
cense they demand unrestricted free
trade in all spirituous liquors! The
war against the saloons must go on for
ever. They never yield point until
compelled to and are always fighting
to regain lost ground or to strengthen
themselves in every possible manner.
The saloon is an outlaw. and its devo-
tees realize that all good people are OPP
posed to it and will completely cxter-
inmate il if possible. 1t will exist as,
long as there are bad people which is
positive evidence that the war against
the saloon will go on forever Iowa
people can see by the opposition to-
high license in Elgin just what the sa-
looms would do under similar circum-
stances in this STATE. The saloons Of
Dubuque and Davenport are now run
ming under low license! High license
could not be enforced in those cities
with any greater success thar prohi-
bition has been. 1t is idle to talk of
compromise with the saloon. There is,
no compromise that tho saloon would
observe except full liberty to pursueI
its mission of misery, ruin and death.

CITY anil Country.

The country greenhorn" in the
city has this advantage over the "city

does not put on airs OF superiority on all

of ripe and delicious fruit, and invited
TO help himself, remarked, somewha
