II Makes No Difference.

The iinanciers Of this country are
now telling awful stories of the con-
dition of the money market. The
gold bugs make a specially of this
kind Of harrangucs aud have already
applied for patent in the lugubii-
ous howl To let them tell it and
give their narratives full credence,
this Union is about to collapse, the
people are on the verge OF starvation
and in fact all nature seems TO be in
mournful mood. In this role in a
minor key, owing to the size of the
establishment and the town or city
they are located in, the bankers are
trying to occupy conspicuous posi-
ton. OF course the thoughtful mind
can readily see through their little
game. These bankers are anxious to
keep up the cry of scarcity of money
so that they can demand greater
rate Of interest from the merchant,
who in turn must be more stringent
with the farmer and thus the whole
people generally and the working
classes specially are made the suf-
ferer. But we desire to say right
here that the condition of the fin
ances of the government makes no
difference, because necessities are
cheaper, and we are now selling the
same quality of clothing of all kinds
at a price that deties tbe efforts of the
money sharks to cripple the country.
Come and get our prices.
Respectfully.

England Never Sleeps.

In the construction of submarine ca
bles and ocean steamships our country
is far behind England, which leads the
world. At this time an American COM
pany is laying cable from Peru to Cen
trail America, which was made in Eng
land. At this time two great steamships
for a new line between America and
Australasia are on the stocks in an Eng
lish shipyard. The English made the
new deep sea cable between South Amer
lea and Africa. We recently bought our
best two Atlantic steamships in Eng
land. 1t is England that owns the most
of the Atlantic cables and owns a large
proportion of the Atlantic steamships.
By her cable lines on the beds of the
worlds seas and her commercial marine
ON these seas the power and the wealth
of England are immensely increased.

Don't Know President Carnot.

1t will be very difficult for M. Carnot
to manage constituent elements of the
force to be controlled, and he certainly
is not managing them successfully now.
They are growing impatient of the me-
diocre men he favors, perhaps little
ashamed of them, and there is dispo-
sition in consequence to fasten RESPONSE
bility ON him personally in a manner
quite new. If hepersists in his plan, we
may see surprises" as NJ. de Blowitz
recently said, which will tax to the ut
most the presidents popularity and fur
nish a final test of character still eX-
ceedingly obscure.
NJ. Carnot has reigned for six years
and is not well known yet. And when
that happens in such a place as Paris to
a man in such position there are usual
ly only two explanations of the fact that
are worth consideration. Either the
character is abnormally reserved-in
fact, deliberately concealed one, very
rare occurrence in France, where silence
is resented--or there is no particular
character to be detected by observation.
Nobody is quite so hard to read as man
in high place who has nothing in him,
and that, after all, may be the explana-
ton of President Carnot.-London Spec
tator.

Frenchmen Take to Rowing.

The unexpected defeat of London
rowing club eight on the Seine last au-

spirits into Gallo oarsmen, and as con-

some French crews at Henley regatta

of Paris will enter crews for the grand
challenge cup (eights), Stewards chal-
lenge cup fours), and the silver goblets
(pairs). NJ. Boudin of the same club
will probably start in the diamond

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION,

This is a competition of rather an unusua
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without IL. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent q simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company g
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-one that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popu-
larity, will get the Press Claims COMPANY s
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from tue fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Saturday night the water ran

became overloaded with stimu-

some of the "kids." The girls
screamed, and the dance was
stopped in short order. A barrel
