ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 21.-The Presi-
dents special train made a very pleasant
run to Malone, which was reached In 80
minutes from the time of leaving Loon
Lake. This served to test how Mrs. Har-
rison would stand the journey. The ef-
feet was very satisfactory to the doctor,
as she fully maintained her strength and
experienced no appreciabie fatigue.
The train reached Plattsburg at 350
and thence the run was made down Lake
Champlain, everything conspiring to the
comfort OF the invalid. Albany was
reached at 8.55 o'clock, the condition OF
Mrs. Harrison promising good night.
DIR. Gardiner reported when the train ar
rived here that Mrs. Harrison was strong
er than on leaving Loon Lake.
Groups Of people were gathered at the
stations who made no denomination,
but stood in an attitude OF silent SYM
pathy as the train passed. No one was
allowed TO enter the train. The train
reached Washington this morning.

NOVICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

AS some of our readers may have
failed to get their paper last week, it
is not out of order to again call st-
tention to the consolidation Of The
ADVOCATE and TOPEKA TRIBUNE.
This change does not effect the
price Of the paper, but will simply
cause an extension of time in accord
anoe with the amounts paid by those
who were taking both papers.
The ADVOCATE AND Topeka TRIBUNE
starts off with a larger circulation
than any reform paper in the wide
west, and by this combination and
the liberal campaign rate offered we
expect to make it equal any in the
United States.
