Solomon and Levi.

N. j. Rice, general agent of the Ma
tional Tobbaco Works, among other good
yarns tells the following as an instance of
jealousy between two Jewish commercial
travellers: Both were excellent statesmen,
but Lew secured enough cash and expe-
rience in business methods to leave the
road and set up for himself in the cloth
ing business. This grieved Solomon
greatly, and so preyed upon his mind
that he could think of nothing else during
the day, and at night his slumbers were
disturbed by visions of Lewis prosperity
Solomon went to sleep one night and
dreamed that an angel stood before him
with flaming taper in his hand. He
addressed the astonlshed drummer bv
saying: Solomon, ask what you will
and you can have it upon one condition,
which is that in whatsoever YOU receive
Levi shall receive twofold."
.sDoes dot mean if have two stores
Lew has four2 Dot if hat tree shiltern
dot Levi got halp dozen2"
"That is exactly what / mean, my
friend" said the angel.
"If dot ish the CASE" said Solomon,
"pleasc, Mr.. Angel, put out one of my
eyes und bote OF Lewis"
The angel agreed to fulfill his promise
and feeling so overjoyed to thus get even
with his rival, Solomon turned on his pill
low and jabbed the protruding end of
feather into the corner Of his eye and
awoke with a great start, feeling, as he
imagined, the angel at work without first
using anesthetics. He was so overioyed
to find that his eye remained unipiured
and all had been hideous dream that he
dismissed all thoughts of jealousy towards
his more Fortunate friend, and in the
morning repaired to his store, related the
dream, and together they mingled their
Joys and SORROWS in bottle of extra dry"

Suspension Without Cords.

Dip thread in strong salt water, then
dry it thoroughly. Do this two or three
times in succession, but do it secretly, so
that your thread may appear to the audi
ence like any ordinary thread, says Don
ahoe's Monthly.
Suspend to it as light ring as you can
get, then set fire to the thread, which will
burn from one end to the other, and the
spectators will be surprised to see the ring
remain suspended by the ashes of the
string which has been destroyed before
their eyes.
In reality the fibrous part Of the thread
has been burned, but there remains a
small tube of salt solid enough to bear
the weight of the light ring attached. Be
careful that the operation is not exposed
to draught.
This experiment may be varied in the
following manner:
Tie four ends of thread to the four cor
ners Of square piece of muslin, thus
forming hammock. Dip the whole in
strong salt water, then dry it, repeating
the operation three or four times.
AS soon as the muslin and threads are
we'll saturated with the solution and
thoroughly dry, place an empty egg in
the suspended hammock. Set fire to the
hammock, which, with the threads, will
burn, and if this experiment be we'll pre-
pared, the egg will remain suspended, to
the establishment of the audience.-St.
Louis Republic.

Loud Protest from the
Merchants of the city,
Is the American Father
Matthew to Blame? Most
Emphatically we say No,
with a big N.

MANY wears ago when We started bust
ness the press of this city was dragging
out a sort of miserable existence. he
neople maid little or no attention to what
appeared in their columns. Everything
was written up in sort OF halt-he:'rted
way. In the evening the editors would 80
home to their scanty meal. 1t was a sad
SIGHT to see them coming through the
streets whistling to keep up their courage.
All at once. rs if by magic, the Waterbury,
Furniture company came to their rrllcl.
We natronized their columns and mp went
their circulation. Every paper IN the city
became enlarged. The editors began TO
wear white shirts and linen collars. Near
" all of them now wear cuffs. ENtraVa-
cance began to run riot. 1t is common
thing now to see them at the opera From
dinSy Sarrets, borrowed presses and back
streets they have stepped out into the sun
light of prosperity. And all TINS whlIe' IN
common with other business men, We have
paid high prices for newspaper space.
But along comes Ned Murphy who has
never contributed a dollar to their support
and he gets column after column for moth
ing! We expect a large discount on our
next bills.
We want to saw 10 brother Murphy, on
the Quiet, that the city officials and the
city press are largely responsible for the
intemperance OF Waterbury, ENt NV'u >
they allowed the city water 10 he polluted
with dead hogs, and the people had TO
drink something. Monuments will yet be
built to JACQUES and Hellman for saving
the city. 1t was a good thing for the I'M
dertakers, but undertakerS are not like
United States senators, they study the
peoples interest little. 1t is a question
now with the people which is doing the
most good Moriarty or Murphy. We have
always been telling the people that the
way to be temperate Is 10 make the house
as attractive as the saloon. by hitting II up
with good, neat, coy Furniture:
Don't fail TO take advantage Of our offer
which will stand for few days longer 10

CINCINNATI, Nov. t. - Tomorrow the
electors of the state of Ohio will choose a
governor, judge of the supreme court,
member of the board of public works and
food and dairy commissioner on the state
ticket, and on the county ticket they will
choose members of the senate and house of
representatives, forming the general assem-
bly,, and county officers. There are also two
amendments To the constitution to be
voted on-ono providing for single repre-
sentative districts in counties where more
than one representative is elected and the
other taxation amendment.
The Republicans have practically renom-
mated their present state officers, which
brings Governor Mckinley and Lieutenant
Governor Harris as candidates for a second
term. The Democratic nominee for gov
ernor is Lawrence 7. Neal of Ross county,
and for lieutenant governor, w. 4. Taylor
of Franklin county.
From the character of the nominations
for governor it has necessarily almost been
a campaign based on national issues. Gov
ernor Mckinley's connection with the pres
ent tariff law naturally brought him to the
discussion Of the principle of protection,
and his campaign speeches have been
largely devoted to that subject, with some
reference to the currency question and to
the attitude of the administration toward
pensioners
On the other hand, Mr.. Neal, from his
position as author of the tariff plank in the
last Democratic platform, which he had
the honor to place there against the opposi-
ton of a majority of the platform commit
tee, has spent much of his time on the
stump in eontroverting McKinley's protec-
lection arguments and In indorsing his
own views in favor of q tariff for revenue.
Thus state issues have been kept in the
background. The people have shown in
tense intsEsst BY attending In unusually

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
It May Not Enlarge tho Free List IS Much
as Expected.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-There Is a grow
ing impression among those who have talk
ed with majority members of the commit
tee on ways and means, who are preparing
a tariff bill, that this bill when IL is report
ed, will not present such radical reduction
as was promised some time ago. Just what
led to this is not clear, except that the def
icit in the treasury makes it important
that the reductions of the duty shall not
be so radical as to impair the revenue rails
ing qualities of the measure.
There have been numerous expedients
talked Of to raise sufficient revenue, chiefly
those relating to an increase of information
al taxation. 1t has been intimated that
these suggestions have been given out with
the idea of testing the feeling of the people
upon them and 10 see if they will be too
much of a burden upon those who will have
to bear them.
There has been lull in the talk of the
income tax during the week, but it is evil
dent that those who favor it have not been
idle. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska, n member of
the committee, says that he is devoting
much of his time to the income tax prop
osition. He thinks that he is making con-
Nerts for 1t in the committee and hopes to
have il reported as n revenue raising fea-
ture of the tariff bin Other members of
the committee say that it will be impossi-
BILE now to cut the duties to the extent
that many people seem to think should be
done, and they give out the impression
that, so far from being sucha radical meas
ure as once predicted, it will he mild re-
duction all around, without any heavy cuts
ON anything and with free list not so
largely increased rs has been talked of. In
deed, some of the members are opposed to
charging the free list to any extent, ex-
cept in n few and unimpOrtant articles, es-
pecially when the revenues of the govern
ment are in their present condition.

BoSToN, Nov. 6.-MasSaChu>ettS is cN-
teCted to do the usual thing on Tuesday, so
far as the election of all state officers ex-
cept the governor is concerned, and the
Republicans count on the customary heavy
majority for their candidates These an
ticipations may not be wholly realized, but
il is regarded as a foregone conclusion that
the Republican candidates for lieutenant
governor, secretary OF state, treasurer.
auditor and attorney general are safe, and
that the executive councillors will be larse-
" of the same complexion.
The fight centers on the governorship,
and the work Of the past week has been no.
ticoably harder than during the closing
days of last years fierce campaign. The
Republicans claim that Greenhalge will
have a majority of at least 5000, and the
Democrats make an equally confident claim
for John F. Russell. If either side has been
doing more brilliant work than the other,
it has been the Democrats, whose force of
speakers has been more conspicuous than
the Republicans in point Of ability, but
both parties have distinguished themselves
for steady, solid work.
One of the principal closing meetings of
the campaign will be held in Springfield to-
night, and the chief speaker will be Govern
or William f. Russell The latter has
thrown himself into the fight with great
viEor, and the Democrats expect his efforts
to lie of very material benefit

CAIRO, Ills. Nov. 6-The fast Chicago
and New Orleans vestibuled train on the
Illinois Central coming south was wrecked
near Allen, ~ miles north of here The
tender and a baggage and express car We're
turned over, and three passenger coaches
were derailed. Fireman Charles Hammond
of Centralia, Ills, was caught under the
tender and killed.
\ switch had been turned, probably by
would he train robbers, and the train ran
out on a frail switch track leading to
limekiln in the woods. The track gave
way under the heavy train, with the result
stated. Two tramps stealing a ride ON the
blind baggage were also killed. The train
consisted of 10 vestibule coaches, President
Fishs private car and n baggage and two
express cars, the latter containing large
amount of money in a safe from New
York city, in charge of Messenger Boyle
and two guards. Boyle had his arm bro
ken, but the guards escaped unhurt. None
of the passengers was seriously injured
though all we've given a shaking up.
