Yours very respectfully.
"OLIVER w. BARNES"
WATER PLAN FAILS.

The RESIGNATION was referred to the
Committee of the Whole. 1t will prob
ably be accepted as soon as practicable.
Who Mr.. Barnes successor will be is
not at this lime known. but it is a settled
fact that Engineer Fteiye who is desired
5v Finance Commissioners Jones and
H~ardenbergh. will not be the man.
1t was partly expected that at last
night meeting the board would re-
adopt the old water specifications and
send them down to the Finance Board
for concurrence by the combine" at
the meeting to be held Thursday even
ing. Engineer Barnes resignation upset
that plan but the commissioners are to
meet next Thursday morning and last
nights programme will probably be
carried into effect then. The difference
between Finance Commissioners Jones
and H~ardenbergh and their colleagues,
and the Street and Water Board are
becoming more interesting daily. On
Saturday last President Jones of the
Board of Finance caused a call for a
special meeting to be issued for yester-
day afternoon, and the notices were
all regularly served. Four o'clock was
the hour set for the meeting. Early
Yesterday morning it became reported
at City Hall that Mr.. Jones proposed
~springing a water sensation which would
be a hard nut for his opponents to crack.
COMBINE ABSENT.
When the hour for the meeting arrived
Messrs. Jones and H~ardenberGh were on
hand, but the combine was conspicu-
o,s nv its absence. Commissioner Sinp-
son was at the City Hall very early
Yesterday morning n when asked by a
"News' exporter what business was to
he transacted at the afternoon session.,
said that he didn't know. Fifteen min
utes before four o'clock Mr.. Simpson was
ot the City Hall but he disappeared
naysteriously and failed to attend the
proposed meeting. COMMISSIONS Detwil-
Ter it was said, was absent on account
of the rain. Last night, however, he and
a number of other Greenvillites trudged
down town through all the storm 10 at
tend the meeting of the Street and Water
Board.
Commissioner Bailey, Mayor Wanser's
Secretary, John Nevin, says, was over in
New York at some exchange. BY others
IL is said that Mr.. Bailey was at the
City Hall early in the day. Whatever
was the cause it so happened that the
Detwiller, Simpson, Bailey combine re-
manned away from the meeting, thus
necessitating it's adjournment at five
O'Clock, for want of a quorum. Presi-
dent Jones was mad n he is anxious
to find out where the order emanated
directing Commissioners Bailey, DetWll-
lar opd Sinnuson to remain away.
Mr.. Hardenbergh smiled at the failure
of his colleagues to attend the meeting
and remarked:-"A little later will do"
There is the liveliest kind of a fight on
in the Board of Finance and the outlook
is that sensations will be numerous in a
short time.

number of articles of daily use in every household in the land. The reduction of the schedule of woolen manufactures alone, such as clothing, blankets, carpets, etc., will save the people more than $163 ,000, ,000 every year, while tbe reduction is propor- tionate on all other articles.
 It places upon the free list 106 items, which were heavily taxed by the Mckinley law, of which the following Is a partial list: Wool, lumber, salt, binding twine, cotton ties, bags for grain, cotton bagging, agricultural implements, such as blows, hoes, harrows, harvesters. reapers, agri- cultural drills, planters, mowers, horse rakes, cultivators, threshiog machines, cotton gins, etc.
 It is safely estimated that free lumber will save to the people S5o, ,00o, GOO per year on house building. etc., while more than $40, ,000. .000 will be saved to the farmers by them having untaxed agricultural imple- ments. But far above free lumber and free agricultural implements, free wool, it is confidently believed, will be the in- estimable blessing to the people-the far mers, toilers, wage earners and nanu- lecturers. It is yet too early to form a reasonable estimate of the savings that will resuib IrOu Inlb On6 lCeIu, pub lHeIe is eV- cry assurance it will be greater than on any other by the revival of the sheep in- dustry and the increased manufacture of wooden goods in this country.
 But what more need be said? The records of the two parties show that the Republi- can party has been the prolific mother of. the most inveterate enemies of the people, the combines, trusts and monopolies, and all it's legislation in their behalf; while the Democratic party has been the champion of the peoples rights and all it's legislation for the promotion of their peace, happiness and prosperity, and the general welfare of the country.
 T. II. Aldrich is the candidate of this Republican party, fully identified with its black and heinous record; Oscar W. Un. derwood is the exponent of Democratic principles and policy, and fully identified with our people, by blood. residence and instinct.
 Our citizens' interest and their duty to themselves, their families and their coun. try is plain; and that is to work and vote for the election of Underwood, who will represent them, not only in their interests, putin their sentiments and traditions as we'll

A FABLE WITH A MORAL.

The patent medicine vendor boasts of his cure alls from the house-tops, and the commercial war-cry of ssthe great and grand elyptical pendiculiam, Asiatic Nervous Cordial from Whandewhang," has thousand times gathered on the street corners the picaninnies, the idlers, the rheumatics, the hypochondriacs, but seldom healthful people, or those who read and think .- Some nostrums need boasting to find their way into the markets for materfa medica. Standard remedies do nos, for they bear the indorssment of a grateful public, and are not despised or ig- nored und the exacting ethics of the medi- cal profession. Suppose the "Twilight Jimplecute," managed by Sergeant Buzfuz, should daily feel forced to call the atten- tion of it's readers to the tonnage of it's issue, to the pomposity of it's pompousness, to the cheap john method ofits self praise, to the egregious elephantine elegance of its spread eagle spasms2 To what would the public liken the sTwiiight Jimplecute'' and Sergeant Buziuz, it's manager?
 MORAL: People who read and think know good thing when they see it..

THINGS DRAMATIC.
THE DAzzLERu TONIGHT.

''THE DAZZLER" TONIGHT.
 There may be lots of girls who have lead in their heels, but that certainly cannot be said of little Maud Curtis, the dancer with ssThe Dazzler.'' She is not yet 16 years old, but her dancing comes perfectly natu- ral, and ever since she has been old enough to sit in the theater it has been her habit to go home after the performance and execute for the benefit of her father and mother anything in the way of dancing that she has seen through the evening. The most difficult steps proved no obstacle to her even in her young days, and now that she has got old enough to think for herself, she taught some of them to oldtime dancers who were on the stage dancing turns be- fore she was born. She is wonder in her. way.
 "The Dazzler' is tonight's attraction at O'Brien's, and the following compliment tary notice is reproduced with pleasure as tribute to good company:
 ssThe DaZZer, - as given before good house at the Bastable last night, is hodge, podge of specialties, songs and dances. There is no plot and there Is no need for on, as the entertainment is for laughing pur- poses only.
 Florie West, the dazzler, is bright sou brette, and sang aud danced her way into the good graces of the audience. Charles Wayne does novel eccentric dance, and is rare comedian. Bobby Ralston, dimin- utive man, was funny because he Is an odd ity. The sisters Dewitt were clever in their instrumental duet, and the original flag song in the last act, introducing the entire company, Is a feature. The special ties are all clean and wholesome, and "The Dazzler" is sure to draw large houses dur ing it's stay. There will be a performance tonight and two on Saturday.
 EFFiE ELLsLER.
 The engagement of Fife Elisler at the opera house Wednesday and Thursday evenings, October 17 and IS, and Thursday at matinee, will occasion more than cus- night she will make her appearance as Doris, in R1 bert Drouet's play of that name. It is a delightful drama, full of living interest and worked out with due regard to consistency and artistic symme- try. It is intense in the elements of heart interest, and is frightened throughout by clean, well written, lively comedy. Miss Ellsler's creation of Doris is considered worthy the highest praise and it is further declared that in the performance of this role she exhibits greater and more sus- tained power than she has ever attained be- fore. Mir. Frank Weston assumes the role of the genial Irish doctor, and is one of the young Squire Keuneth is in the hands of the author, MT. Robert Drouet, and, it is needless to say, is well played.
 IA Woman 8 Power' is the play selected for Thursday evening, and judging from the manner in which it was received when presented by Miss Ellsler last year, a bet ter selection could not have been made. It is a very strong play aud splendidly acted.
 At matinee Thursday Miss Ellsler will present that beautiful drama 'Hazel Kirke," which is one of her strongest plays.

THE IRON MARKET.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.-A steady demand of moderate proportions and we'll dis tributsd charsoterized the weeks busi- ness in pig iron. Buyers press for all there is in them the arguments of increasing pro. duction, of heavy stocks and low prices of Lake ore, and large output and low prices of ConneilsvilIs coke. Furnaces, on the other hand, call attention to the fact that, large as production is, compared with last spring and summer, 1t is scarcely three- fourths of the normal requirements of the country, aud what Is more to the point it is being taken as fast as made for actual consumption. Furthermore the stocks in first hands are the lowest they have been for over year. Averaging the two lines of arguments, 1t looks as if we might ex. pect slow, steady increase of consump- tion, just about sufiioient to take up the natural increase of output, and that prices will continue for while without much change.
 The railroads are still minus factor in the markets. Structural work has been the main reliance of the steel plants. Stove foundries are fairly active. Jobbing fotin- dries are doing little more, and there is a better demand from engine and machinery builders.
 The market closes at unchanged prices.

A BIRMINGHAM gentleman entered a jewelry establishment yesterday to pur- chase clock. He was surprised and much pleased when he found that clocks were so much cheaper than he expected. Under the Mckinley law the rate of duty was 45 per cent and under the Democratic law the duty is now only 25 per cent. Every one can now afford handsome clock on the mantel piece. Every Democrat especially should buy clock to hold time on the ras- calls. An Englishman was once boasting about the extent of the British Empire, and proudly quoted the saying that "the sun never sets on the possessions of the Eng lish.n A Frenchman replied: "No won- der, for the sun is obliged to always keep an eye on you rascals.u So the Democrats should hold their time pieces on the Repub- licans and see that 1t is many long day before they again get chance to put @ heavy tax on Father Time.

SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING.
CHARLES AUSTIN BATES.


 No man has reached the acme of business success. Heights that we do not dream of will be attained by twentieth century mer- chants. am one of those who believe that there is no limit to the possibilities of hu. man achievement.
 This is the frame of mind one gets into after looking at such stores as Wanamak- er's,, .Siegel. Cooper & Co.'s and 'sThe Fairo in Chicago and Bloomingdale's and Macy's in Few York.
 The vast scope of such enterpries, the magnificent system, the quick, alert busi- ness wit that it takes to direct them-these give one confidence in future successes. Fifty years ago such establishments were years bring forth?
 These great stores owe their growth to advertising, to tho diffusion of store news, for of what use were the finest store and the biggest bargain if people knew nothing of it?
 The science of advertising is in it's in- fancy. 1tis growing in importance and efficiency every day. It used to ba spec ulative venture. Now it is scientific cer. tainty.
 derstand that during the first week of g certain ''sale" they had recently they spent S15, ,ooo for advertising, and that the were S25, ,00O.
 Bloomingdale's was not always a big store. The brothers are both young men. The business has been built within twenty years. built by judicious, persistent, truthful advertising, just as any other business may be built.
 Advertising is merely telling people in a telling way what you can do for them. If you tell them often enough and in the right way there is no possibility of failure.

 THE AGE. HERALD sometime ago sug gested that primary elections should be governed by legal restrictions similar to regular elections. Recent events have shown that some restrictions and legal rec straints must be thrown around the pri- mary. The very existence of the party may be at stake. The Memphis Commercial Appeal pursues the same line of argument and urges the legalization of the primaries in Tennessee. It thinks it even more lm- portant that the voter should be protected at the primary than at the general election, The source of political evils is found al,, ways in the rRscalities of the primaries. Party organization depends upon fair treat ment all round. ,.s.s ea4.4 ls
