VIII EE IS T LIN AGE?
The Mysterious Absence of the Brook
lyp Preacher and Ills Wife.

by@ ET"CttE anu shAS w he'
New YORK, Nov. THE mystery
surrounding the disappearance of DR..
and Mrs. Talmage is no nearer a solu-
ton than it was yesterday when the
eminent preacher disappointed his
audience at the I'd bernacle by not APP
pearing to deliver his customary SER
mons, the Rev. DR.. Graham of Phila-
delphia explaining the substitution
merely by the statement that the pas
tor was taking rest A ring at the
doOrbell Of the parsonage to-day was
answered by the housekeeper.
81 have no idea where Mr.. Talmag e
is at present." said she, nor can ]
possibly say when he and his wife will
return. They left here on Thursday,
saying that they intended to be goJ1
for sho t time. thought he and Mrs.
Talmage would attend Young Mr.. Tai
Image wedding IN Poughkeeps1e and
then return
It's said that DR.. Talmage appeared
a. the New Haven house at New Ha-
Gen, Friday night, and inquired for
Mrs. Talmage. The clerk said she had
not been there, and DR.. Talmage took
the o'clock express back to the city.
Soon after he left Mrs. Talmage ar.
rived at the hotel, giving directions
that she should not be disturbed I'M
less DR.. Talmage called. DR.. Talmage
returned on SATURDAY afternoon, and
both left together, presumably for
New York. The failure of Dr. Tai
mage and his wife to arrive here has
excited much alarm among their many
friends and the entire congregation of
the tabernacle.

Care Of the Calf in w inter.

1t is automatic that the greatest gain
in the weight is made in the earliest
stages of growth, hence it is evidently
the best policy to shove the calves right
along from the time they are dropped
until ready for the block. 1t is not neces-
sary to profitable feeding of steers that
they be kept on full feed all their
lives from the moment of birth until
ready to go to the butcher, though we
believe such course would be found
to pay best; but they must be well taken
care of and no time allowed to go back
in the least or lose a pound Of the flesh
they have already made. On the sub
ject of caring for calves in winter

So, 900 MEN ARE OUT.
The Lockout in the London Cotton Trade Ii
On

The Lockout in the London Cotton Trade is
LONDON, Nov. 7.-As the lockout in
the cotton trade began at the usual
midday closing hour on Saturday the
exact number of operatives affected
will only be known late tonight
Mr.. Mawdsley, secretary of the
anna gamated association of operative
cotton-spinners, thinks that $4,000
people will be rendered idle by the
lockout or strike, the trouble partak-
ing of both features
His estimate, however, may be modi-
fed should the stampede among the
! employers spread. The federation of
master cotton spinners has been very
successful in its lockouts and the pres
ent trouble promises to be no excep-
ton TO the rule.
Since the masters issued their notice
that the spinnerS would have to SUBJ
NIT to per cent reduction in their
wages, there has been a considerable
Improvement in the cotton made, and
manufacturers are loath to shut their
mills and forego the profits in sight
Should the manufacturers spinning
American cotton offer their employees
the old rate of wages it is highly prob
bile that about fifteen million spindles
would continue to run and the num-
Der of idle spinners and others would
be reduced to 10000. At any rate, a
victory for"the operatives is practical
certainty. Only one mill in Haywood
closed to-day. With so many mills
running the position of the strikers
and the locked-out operatives is ma
teriaily strengthened.
The spinners at work pay a small
proportion of their wages into the
strike fund, which is already yerf
large, and this will allow the opera
tives to stay out for a long time.
Each manufacturer belonging to the
masters federation pays fine of l
farthing for each spindle he runs dur
ing lookout, but it is evident that in
the present occasion many of them can
pay the wages demanded by the spinners
and the fine and still run their mills at
satisfactory profit. If this were not
the case the mills would be closed.

BIZ SINESS AT A STANDSTILL
New Orleans Beginning to Feel the Eff
feet of the General Strike

New ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-THE effects
of the strike We're more apparent to-
day than at any time since the trouble
commenced. There are but few floats
or drays to be seen on the streets, and
small spring wagons come into very
general use. There are no
street cars running, consequently mer-
chants and clerks did not reach their
places of business as early as usual.
So far the city is remarkably quiet and
but little business is being done. The
printers struck work at 7 o'clock and
the outlook for the morning papers Is
not bright, though they will make an
effort to get out editions tomorrow.
The Daily States, being a non-union
office, published as usual this after
noon

When the golden glimmer
DINNER grows and DINNER,
And a shadows tremor
Shifts across the wall.
Touch the old chords brightly,
Let them uemble slightly,
Into tune, and lightly
Tender themes recall.
Then thy soul surrender
To the soulful splendOr
OF the music tender
One with thee to be,
Binding smiles together
With an airy tether,
Loves enchanted weather,
Pains euthanasy.
Let your dark eyes leaning
Up to mine their meaning,
Diviner glory cleaning
From the seraph strain,
Search mine own, revealing
Passions dewy feeling.
Droop while | am kneeling,
Draining them again.
All, the strain is dying,
And | hear you signing,
And your hand is lying
Softly in my hair;
And your lips are blending
Ecstasy tranScending,
Aught / know or care.
Now the purple glimmer
DINNER grows and DINNER,
And the shadow grimmer
Spreading DER the wall;
flushed the music's beating,
Souls in kisses meeting,
Love and love repeating,
While the plOyers call.

much is imperative, however, the ra-
lions must be such as contain a sui
ficient supply Of muscle and flesh pro

food rich in the material that produces

corn will, or course, form a good part or
the ration, but along with it should be
fed such foods as oats, bran, shorts, oil
meal. ETC., to balance the corn.
Where oats are cheap a very good ra-
ton is half and half corn and oats; the
proportion of corn might be increased
somewhat when the weather is I'M
ually cold. Four parts of corn, four
parts of oats and one part oilmeal will
give good results; or bran and shorts
might be used in place of the oats, III
which case the Oilmeal would not be
needed. The main thing is TO feed some
of these heterogeneous foods with the
corn. Exclusive feeding with the latter
is not only harmful but wasteful. About

they need a small grain ration every day.
Heavy grain feeding is injurious unless
! the calves are to be finished for market
at an early age, because the stomach
is not then developed and accustomed
to utilizing coarser fodder to good
advantage, but profit comes from the
grain made by moderate, regular sup
piled feed of grain.
