RATHER A QUEER sToRY.
To the Effect That This Government
Tried to borrow $50, 100000 in France
and Failed

LONDON, Sept. pa dispatch to the
Economist from Paris says that the negotia-
tons started by the United States to raise a
loan of s50,000,000 in gold at 81 per cent
have collapsed through the demands of the
syndicate that was to advance the loan
and the intervention of the French gov
eminent.
The dispatch adds that the government
wanted reductions,mad in the Mckinley
tariff on French goods imported into the
United States, in return for permitting the
official listing of the proposed bonds at the
Paris Bourse. The United States govern
ment refused to treat on that basis.
According to the dispatch oyertures have
since been made in London for raising the
loan.

Time, l.04l, LOS, l.O21,

EAsToN, Md. Sept. 22..-The Talbot
County Fair closed to-day after an appar,
emily prosperous week. The weather has
been perfect and the attendance much
above the average. The racing of the day
was good, although each race was won in
straight heats.
In the pa class Miss Thompson went
three beautiful miles, but in the second
heat of the race it looked to nearly every
one that j. NJ. d. was deliberately pulled
on the home stretch, letting Miss Thomp-
son win by a half length.
The knowing ones pinned their faith to
Lex TO win the 2.37 trot, but he acted very
badly and was distanced in the third heat.
LIN the 3-year-old race Colonel Ktser far
outclassed the other horses and could
easily have gone his miles several seconds
faster He is certainly one of the most
promising young horses ever seen on this
track.
Taking the four days racing as whole
it was undoubtedly the best ever had at
the Talbot fair, and does great credit to
the management, but there seemed to be
lacE of care or perhaps incompetency, on
the part of the starting judge, us the starts
were of very poor order,

EAsToN, MD, Sept. 20,-A large crowd
OF people was in attendance at the fair
to-day, many coming to see the Vice
President and his party, who were ex-
pected as guests of the fair association,
but the unexpected turn of events in
the Senate prevented the distinguished
party from coming to Easton.
The races to-day were even better
than yesterday, the knowing ones were
much off and as a consequence the bet
ting was decidedly mixed. The third
heat of the 2,19 class, @. F. Iseminger
the fayorite, fell on the track and threw
his driver out of his sulky, but for
tunately neither horse nor jockey were
injured.

EAsroN, Sept. 21.-Those who at

some iirst-class races. In the 2.45 trot-
ting Kate took two heats so easily that
she looked to be sure winner, but in
the next two heats she was breaking re-
peatedly, and Brandy took the heat. In
the last heat, after one of the prettiest
races ever seen on the track, Kate won
by neck, thus taking the race. The
2.20 pacing was also fine race. 1t was
neck and neck between Budd Doble and
Whitley in every heat, but Whitley
managed to get under the wire first each
time. In the last heat the track record
was reduced to 2.18t. The other races
were easy for the winners.

Lent to Begin Next wednesday-A1 the
Faithful who Have Completed Their
Twenty-FIrst Year are Bound TO OBJ
serve the Fast of Lent-rhose who
are Excepted-A Church just Twenty
FIVE Years Old.
Rev. William J. Birmingham, of st.
Pauls r. c. Church, delivered a power
full lecture to his congregation last night
on Victims of Alcohol" The large
church was crowded aud the congrega.
tion seemed more than pleased with the
stirring address. The speaker said, in
the course of his remarks, that what
ever tends to brutalize man, whatever
robs him of intelligence, dethrones the
reason which should guide him in the
path of rectituds. units him for the
duties of citizenship. The incorporate
man is curse to the state. he is
cancer on the social body; he not only
consigns TO destruction his own God
given prerogatives, but he casts aside
every kindly feeling and destroys the
home, which is destined to be the sane.
tuary of virtue.
Father Birmingham, taking the
ground that the liquor traffic is legalized,
said that the state grants licenses TO
those IL expects to be gentlemen and
ladies'. Many Of them violate the trust
imposed in them. There are too many
saloons in this city and in every city
Every year 10000 men, women and
children fill drunkard's graves. There
is one saloon to every 100 people. 1t is
time for the church to cry Haiti"
If the saloon-keepers were conscien-
tious, upright men they would know
when to say yes and when no when
man applies for drink. They are the
responsible ones. The law says they
shall not sell to be drunk off the
premises or to minors. That Is to prevent
temptation TO the children. Sometimes
child is sent to a saloon for liquor for
father or mother. Aud perhaps on the
way home the child takes a drink of the
liquor. Thus is started line of drunk
ards
Father Birmingham related a story
that came under the notice Of priest at
Elizabeth, N. ]. A young couple was
married amid happy auspices. The hus
band was total abstainer when they
were married. hut sometime after the
wedding he began to drink. His wife did
not know what was keeping him out late
One night about six months after they
were married she started from home to
find him. She went TO neighber's house to
inquire for him. He was not there. Some
one told her that, he was in saloon
She could hardly believe It, for she had
never dreamed that he drank. She went
to the place and found him there beastly
drunk. She fell in faint. She was
taken home and recovered from the shock
in few weeks The experience taught
her husband a lesson and he took the
pledge. A little while later baby was
born to them. The physicians pronounced
that it was born a drunkard and would
always remain in that awful condition.
