The Era OF Speculation.

In these days Of speculation and Of
tremendous fuctuation in Wall street
prices 1t Is not surprising that weak hu-
man nature yields to great temptation.
The wonder is not that cashier, a pay
ing teller, president, custodian Of
trust funds, yields, but that so few
among tho large number Of compare
lively poor men, handling hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars and in many in
stances securities valued at millions, falA
by the wayside. 1t stands to reason that
where one is detected half dozen or.
cape disgrace, a lucky turn in specula-
tion enabling them to recoup the strong
box and to replace the borrowed assets
1t may be doubted if any Of the long list
of defaulters intended at the outset to
defraud their employers or their custo-
mers. It's the old story. The unexpect-
ed happened, the money was lost, the
hypothecated securities were sold, and
the inevitable discovery brought ruin
upon the defaulter and shame upon his
family and friends. New York Re-

The Tramp Nuisance.

The tramp fraternity has made itself
unusually obnoxious during the hard
times, and heroic measures have been
resorted to for the purpose Of suppress
ing it. In San Francisco the tramps
that infested and robbed the docks were
driven out by dueking them in the sea.
In Boston it seems that the sacred
common had literally fallen into the
hands Of tramps before the police could
be aroused to sense Of their duty. Pc
destrians were accosted mt all hours Of
the day and night, and il they did not
give were lcursed and even struck, ac-
cording to the hour and the loneliness Of
the locality. Women were bullied and
insulted and children robbed of their
pennies. Finally the police decided to
raid the common and rid it of its bandit
ii. Twenty-Five arrests were made, the
prisoners were sent Ito the island, the
common is now safe for travellers, and
children may sail their boats in tho frog
pond without fear of molestation.

For some months past farmers whose
fields touch the Darby creek near Ard
moro. Pa. have noticed that the bushes
and small trees along the waters edge
were dying. An investigation showed
that the bark had been peeled of the
trunks near the ground. Only bushes
and trees that overhang the creek are
affected. The farmers thought it must
be the work of rabbits, and as the depre-
dations extended for three miles whole
sale raid upon the Dummies was planned.
Herbert A. Enochs says that timely
and startling discovery thwarted the
farmers in their crusade. With loaded
gun farmer sat by the stream to watch
for the shrub destroyers when he beheld
large carp leap from the water and
catch at the bushes. It was after fly
that had lighted there, but in its en-
deavor to get it tore off considerable
chunk of bark. Then another carp was
seen doing the same thing. They had
actually girdled all the bushes on the
banks for miles in catching flies. Phil

Latest Outrage Of Chinese ON nIissions.
The latest collision between foreign
missionaries and the Chinese populace
may serve as typical example of these
regrettable incidents. Two inexperienced
men, beginning to learn the Chinese
language, find themselves planted In q
hostile district, acquire land and erect
buildings in style notoriously offensive
to the native people, and it is fair to as
sumo do other things In keeping there
with. The popular hate, which needed
no fostering, SINNERS awhile and at
q given moment breaks out in q murder
ous explosion. the poor missionaries be-
coming martyrs. not to Christianity, but
rather to their own deplorable lack of
Judgment.
OF course the rioters deserve to be So
verely dealt with. 1t is dangerous to
leave them unpunished. Yet we know
they will not be punished. for the Chi
nese government will do neither good
nor evil that it can avoid, and moreover,
though 1t may not approve of mob vio-
lence. its sympathies are naturally and
necessarily with its own people, and not
with the intrusive and always hateful
foreigners. As for the western powers.
the diplomatic fasco Of 1891 afforded
conclusive proof that none Of them has
q clear enough conscience to coerce the
Chinese In such matter.-A. Niche In

Miss Eugenia de Forrest, an actress
who makes her home at San Jose, CAL,
has received the sanction Of the authori-
ties Of San Jose to wear mems clothes in
public, and proposes to obtain legal
right to appear in the same garb all over

waistcoat of dark material, trousers of q
striped pattern and a derby hat Of the
latest style. In her hand she swung an

mostly in male parts she knows the

TO ERECT A GREAT PLANT.
Rockefellers Back OF the Mysterious
Movement at Ashtabula.

Rockefellers Back OF the Mysterious
Movement at Ashtabula.
PrTrsBuRo, Oct. 2.-The mystery over
hanging the recent purchases Of land at
Ashtabuls, the great iron ore receiving
port Of Lake Erie, is gradually clearing
away. These purchases and options
comprises 5000 acres of land; the projec-
tors have been working under the name Of
the Steel and Iron Improvement company,
of Pittsburg.
1t is now known that the erection of q
steel plant is determined upon, and ground
has been broken for some portion of the
works. II is stated on reliable authority
that the iron and steel company Is In fact
the Standard Oil campany, or to be more ex-
act, the Rockefellers, the chief stockholders
of tho great oil company, are the most in
terested parties.
1t Is an open secret that they have 10.
cured immense bessemer ore interests in
the Missaba range, and have large inter-
ests In the transportation business of the
lakes; all for the ulterior object to control
the steel industry OF this country. They
are the hackers of the big project just un-
dertaken at Ashtabula and are prepared to
place millions and will give the vast Car
negie interests and the Illinois Steel COM
pany tussle for the supremacy.

ANOTHER BIG FAIR.
A SOUTHERN C0NGREssMAN PLAN
ING FOR THE YEAR 1000.
Introduces a Bin In the House Provid-
ing for a Worlds Exposition TO Com
memorate a0th Century Of fChristianity.

WASHINGTON, Cct. New York may
have worlds exposition IL she wants it,
without controversy or competition. Gen.
Wheeler, of Alabama, introduced the fol
lowing bill in the house Saturday:
In order 10 commemorate the beginning
of the twentieth century of the existencs
OF the Christian religion and by appropri
ate ceremoDies to express the profound
reverence and thanks of the people for the
advanced civilization and inestimable
blessings vouchsafed to mankind by Chris
tian teachings and example, a worlds
exposition shall be held in the city Of New
York, commencing as soon after January
/, 1900, as the legislature of New York
may prescribe, and continuing during &c
much of-said year a. may be provided by
said legislature.
That the president of the United States
shall, upon receiving official notice from
the governor of the state OF New York that
said state has enacted law accepting the
responsibility intrusted to 1t by this act, ID
sue a proclamation inviting the nations OF
the earth TO participate in said exposition.
That unless the state of New York enacts
a law accepting said trust within three
months after the next meeting of the legis-
lature of said state, this act shall be void
and OF no effect.
Speaking OF the bill Gen. Wheeler said;
"The suggestion is entirely my own. No
one from New York has spoken to me
about 1t, and have no assurance that she
wants it. But she did make an effort to
secure the Columbian exposition, and
thought she might like to undertake such
a work as this. II she declines to assume
the responsibility, why, shall believe that
no other city would or could entertain 1t,
and the whole matter will be at an end"

A Boston Landmark Gone.

A famous old tree disappeared with
the fall Of the big cottonwood on the
common. 1t was probably the largest
tree on the common. Standing near the
bandstand in the hollow, it was favor

there Is no tree either on the common OF
the public garden which comes to ma
turity more quickly than does this pop
ulus monilifera, and as there are many
more trees Of the same species on the
common and garden 1t will not be many
years before the fallen monarch will

MYSTERIOUS FORTUNE.
A Miners Identity Concealed Since
the War.

WArERrowS, N. Y, Oct. 2.-William
A. Conan, Of Evans Mills, this county, has
fallen heir to small fortune, left by his
brother, John Albert, who was killed In a
mining accident at Wellington, New, re-
Gently.
The man had been very reticent as to
his former life and home, and It was only
through newspaper articles that his brother
and heir was discovered. The mans real
name was John Albert Conan, and the
reason for his secrecy was that during the
war he was drafted and ran away and
changed his name to avoid military service.
He had communicated with his brother,
however, under the assumed name, and
on that fact the proof Of relationship will
be based
