The pleasant weather of the past few days
has put Mine Host of the outing places in
4 good humor. Many Pittsburgers de-
layed their trips last week on account of
the Homestead trouble, but they will all be
going this week. Already Iron City peo-
pie are in possession of many places
The prospects for good time were never
better. Asbury Park reports unusual luck
at fishing. Atlantic City's Isaak Waltons
complain little, but still they are pulling
out some tremendous drum fish there.
Music is good and abundant everywhere,
and the tired man or woman who goes out
this week for good time will not be disap-
pointed.

MY Cottage at Saratoga.

There are probably more places in Sara
toga where a man may live alone, or with
his family, cheaply and comfortably than at
any other fashionable watering place in
the country. 1t is full of small hotels, cot
tages and boarding houses, and these pro-
vide for great many people.
"My dear boy" said pompous friend Of
mine once in New York, "come over with
me to Saratoga. I've q lovely cottage there,
and would be glad to entertain you.''
thanked him very much and pleaded
business. He came to town every now and
then during the summer and always spoke
glowingly among his friends Of "My cottage
at Saratoga.
Finally went up unexpectedly and called
on him. And found him covered wi tn
confusion in third floor back room of one
of these boarding houses. His mail came to
the United States Hotel. Since then "My
cottage at Saratoga" strikes me all in q
heap. There area good many Just such peo-
pie every year. The big hotels have pretty
hard work keeping that set out Of their
reading and writing rooms and of OF their
verandahs.

Tho Homo of ths Saratoga Chip.

We went out to Saratoga Lake one pretty
afternoon-that beautiful sheet OF water
famous as the scene of many an aquatic
contest. We sat beneath the old trees that
shade the bluff at Moons, and watched the
going and coming Of the little steamers far
below, the small boys wadinR after their
boats along the lake brim, the coachmeA
lolling on their boxes in the shady roa
above and the Saratoga chippies eating
chips. This was the home Of the Saratoga
chips was Moons, now Moons no longer.
A colored gentleman Of enormous stature
runs the old hotel. But the saratoga chip
remains and you can get the same half
cents worth in a little box for q quarter OF
a dollar. For people deem it in good form
to take some chips from the hot lard of the
new proprietor just as they used to do when
Moon was In his glory. And the chatterinR
little chippies at tho little tables beneath
the trees are eating chips and drin king beer
and lemonade at Is cents an eat and Is cents
drink. And SO they doubtless will be do
ing on many fine afternoon for many years
to come on the shady banks OF beautiful
Saratoga Lake.

To sleep comfortably in a river boat cabin
you should be trimmed down to measure,

None of the gambling houses of Saratoga
are open. The probability is that
the proprietors will have hard sled

ganized to enforce the gambling laws. This
is not the first time all this has been done,
however, and the probability 10 that it will
not be the last. The race will bring 5000

Arkansas Election.

To those who held the opinion that
the combination of republicans and
populists in Arkansas wonli defeat
the democratic ticket, we would re-
specially refer the following telegram
in the daily press:
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Sept. 5.-The
general state election was held in Ar
kansas to day under the new election
law and has resulted in clean sweep
for the democracy. The majorities
range from 5000 to 10000. The OPP
position, the republicans and the peo-
Piles party, lost everywhere. especially
the peoples party. The democrats
polled the largest negro vote in nearly
every county ever known. The only
disturbance reported is the arrest of
lobe Grayson, postmaster at Prescott,
Ark, for intimidation. The election
was the quietest ever known in the
state.

If the railroads would make the
same efals TO furnish Kansas with
grain cars in which to ship her wheat
that they made to furnish extra ex-
cursion trains to Denver and Kansas
City, we would not hear anything
about car famine. 1t is greatly sus-
pected that the grain manipulators
and the railroad owners are so closely
allied that their affairs get mixed
together occasionally, and the man
who has grain to sell has to suffer the
consequences of the mixture. IF we
don't miss our guess, the republican
party will be called upon to 60 back
