CHICAGO H., Oct. 27.-Wheat to-day broke
below all former prices for the year, and
closed without any sign of Improvement.
The quotation for December delivery de-
scended to 72354c bushel, and was only nc
up from that at the end of the session.
Compared with last night wheat is off &c,
corn 4@1ac and oats T to nc. Rye was
again extremely weak and made another
break of from &c in December to &c and 21Sc

october and 10c for January. Ribs are un-
changed for October and Novamber and &c
lower for January.
For the frs. time in many weeks there
was no vessel room taken for grain. The
boats were here. but shippers held or for
fear OF a blockade at Buffalo The air was
flick with rumors of sidetracks filled with
loaded cars OF grain, and elevators to un-
load them hard to find. 1t is not wonderful

NOT ENOUGH MONEY SET ASIDE
For the Armament and Equipment Of thu
Militia of the Country.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-General Flag
Ter, Chief of Ordnance, to-day submitted to
the War Department his an nual report Of
the operations of his bureau during the
year. He calls attention to the inadequacy
of the general appropriation for arming and
equipping the militia, which at the last ses-
sion Of Congress was still further reduced.
The highly improved arms of the present
day cost more than three times as much a.
arms cost in 1903, when the appropriation
was 5000, 900. Last session this amount,
which has been annually appropriated tor 81
years, was cut down to S175, ,000-an amount
entirely too small to meet the demands
made by the States for allotments.

That struck the maid as very rare game !;

Then the horseman paused in his speedy

And swift to tree his horse he tied :
Approached the maiden and made re-

On the beautiful scene and the song of

Then spoke he low of loves sweet song
And wished that the maid might to

The Cremorne Gardens.

In the present day it is hard to find a
gentleman whose recOllections of past
events is more vivid, or who is more
agreeably conversant than our fellow
citizen, Mr.. Edward NJ Skidmore. His
early life as a newspaper man brought
him in contact with many interesting
events, and he was personally acquaint-
ed with many of the leading lights of
the decade before the war He tells the
following interesting incident in the life
of Charlotte Patti, sister of the famous
Adelina
Before the war, when travelling show
was one of the greatest curiosities of the
time, James M. Nixon was leader in
circus exhibitions He used to bring
his tent to Jersey City, and the people
came from radius of thirty miles to en-
joy the equestrianism and the famous
clowns. At one time upon the present
site of the armory on I4th street, west of
Sixth avenue, he opened combination
entertainments circus and concert
hall-for one price of admission. He
called it the "Cremore Gardens, after a
similar place in London. 1t was here that
Charlotte Patti, sister of the famous
Adelina. made her appearance in the
concert hall. and sang some very popular
operate pieces. and soon became great
favorite among the lovers of classical
music.
Upon the opening night Of the Cremone
Gardens, the crowd was immense and
enthusiastic. After Patti sang her first
piece. the auditors clapped their hands.
shouted at the top of their voices, and
compelled her to repeat her song several
times, At the end of the entertainment,
