Love Laughs at Doctors.

A young man wanted to marry girl,
but her rich parents forbade the match.
The young man thereupon became sick
and had terrible fainting fits. The doc
tors were called and said he would soon
die, and he said he wanted to die. The
father of the girl visited the patient,
and the poor fellow said that if he could
marry his Mary Ann he would die
happy. His dying request could certain
ly not be refused, and, Mary Ann hav-
ing no objection, the minister was sent
for, and the marriage ceremony was
performed. The knot being securely
tied, the patient rose from his bed
hale man.
It was great cure, astonishing both
the cruel parents and the doctors, but
the bride acted as though she had ex-
pected it all the time. London Tit-Bits.

What hotAJ Feoplc Rave 70 say ADout HI
ties and Degrees.
For a man to take lady TO dino at 4
hotel and register as ''Mr. So.ard-so and
lady" is considered the height Of igno-
rance by hotel clerks The proper way is
to register both names, or, if the man is
sensitive, to write "Mr. So-End-so and
one" This is sometimes done, brt not
very often. To use "ard lady" is bad
form in this generation, when it comes
to hotel registers, for obvious reasons.
But this is not the only evidence of bad
form which is seen ON the register.
When a man pens Mr. before his name
he is judged as being egotistical, and no
professional man will put DR.. or Prof.
before his name if he desires to avoid
the clerks anathemas
Many city people exhibit their igno-
rance Of good breeding by going to To-
cal hotel and giving the number and
street Of their residence A notable in
stance Of this is we'll known jeweler,
who, when he puts his name on a regis
ter, which is frequent invariably puts
his business address after it To put
Hon., Gen., Capt or any other title be-
fore a mans name on hotel register is
as bad as Prof. or Dr.-in fact, it is
looked upon as worse by all good hotel
men.
The only exception to the above is in
case Of theatrical people, who put the
name Of their company after their
names. All professional stage people get
reduced rates at hostelries in nearly ev-
cry instance, and for them to put the
names of their troops on the book is o
good thing for the hotel people. 1t goes
to show that the person thus registering
is not afraid Of being questioned as to
his connection with a company and is
not trying to get lower rates in a sur
reptitious manner. 1t is also in the case
Of theatrical people that there may be a
permissible violation Of the rules in re-
gard to putting Mr.. before the name.
Many stars do not register, but allow
some one else to do it for them, general
ly the manager. In order to show all
possible Difference to his proteges, the
manager generally puts Mr.. before the
names of the men. In the cases of ladies
it is invariably proper for them to put
Miss or Mrs, as the case may be, in
front of their ames.-New York Dis

WOOL PRICES UNDER FREE
WOOL.
The Wool Growers Get Good Prices
for Their Clips Under the New
Tariff.

WHEELING, W. Va, Sept. o.
Especial. )-The good effects of the
new tariff bill on the wool market
are coming more rapidly than even
its most hearty supporters had dared
to wish. The Wheeling Register,
through its special correspondents in
eastern Ohio. West Virginia, and
western Pennsylvania, has made in
quiry concerning prices and demands,
and the result has been far more than
satisfactory to the friends of the free
wool measure.
The correspondent at Woods6eld,
o., the center of large wool raising
country, represented IN Congress by
4. j. Pearson, whose place was jeop-
ardized by his vote for free wool, re-
ports that Alexander Harmon sold
10000 pounds OF wool within week
at 26 cents, and was offered as much
for the remainder of his clip. This he
refused, believing he can do better
before the first of the year. Clint &
Pfalzgraff, also of Monroe county,
have sold their wool within a week at
% cents, it being a less desirable clip
than that of Harmon. Miller Il Co.
of Beallsville, O., are offering 20 and
81 cents, but are getting no wool
The wool men are set against any
thing short of % cents. The report
from Washington, Pa, is that washed
wool isselling and has been for week
at 20 and 81 cents. Markell & Co.
Of Monongahela, are offering and have
instructed their country agents to
take up $50, 900 pounds at flom 20 to
25 cents, according to grade.
Several instances where wool has
sold in the West Virginia panhandle
at from 20 to % cents are reported.
Most Of the wool buyers are Republi-
cans and the fairy stories they have
told wool raisers within the past three
months are remarkable. They have
used every means to bulldoze buyers
into selling at from Is to II cents and
have been able to get some wool at
those figures. Cleveland Plaindealer,

ONLY A SCRATCH NEEDED.
The Frequency Of Blood Poisoning Anon
the Meat Packers

The Frequency Of Blood Poisoning Among
the Meat Packers.
at would surprise you to know" re-
Gently remarked an officer of one Of our
large packing houses chow frequent
cases of blood poisoning are among our
employees, and tie cause in most Of
these instances would doubtless surprise
you more. A scratch on the hand from
bone Of calf's head or q pigs foot
often disables a man for q week, and,
strangely enough, in almost every case
that has come under my notice the
scratch has been so slight as to be al
most imperceptible.
"The first intimation the man has Of
his injury is swelling of the forearm,
accompanied by a smarting pain. Both
swelling and pain generally extend to
the shoulder, under which large lung
sometimes forms. Even after the pres
ence of the scratch has been in this
manner demonstrated it is often impos-
sible to detect it 1t is usually caused,
in the case of the calf's head, by the
sharp edge on the bone Of the neck, due
to the carelessness of the butcher who
sewers the head from the carcass. II he
does his work well and his cleaver has
severed the joint perfectly, all is we'll,
for there is no sharp edge to cut, but If
he has missed the joint by even hairs
breadth, which happens in five cases out
of ten, there is an edge ON the bone that
will probably work mischief.
"Of course none of these cases has
ever resulted seriously, as prompt meas
ures are always taken and as we always
insist that man SO injured immediate
ly consult physician. This rule we
never vary, for we feel bound to retain
a man on the pay roll while suffering
from such an accident even though he
be untitled for work, and the unskillful
treatment of an apotheoary, on which
many Of them would like to rely, or the
even less satisfactory methods of home
surgery would only prolong the term Of
idleness. New York Sun.

SUGAR Is CHEAPER

Than Before the Passage ofthe New
Tariff Bill.
Toledo Bee, Sept. 2I.l
Everyone is interested in the price
of sugar.
The Blade few days ago announc'
ed that the price of sugar had advsnc'
ed In price three cents pound.
Not only is this not true but it is
fact that sugar is cheaper today than
before the passage of the recent tariff
bill.
Lest there should be caviling over
this point the list of pHces furnished
the Bee by Berdan & Co. Is herewith
given.
The figures are the closing prices
on refined sugar on September %,
1898, and September %, 1894. 1t
may be stated here that there has been
a continual decline in the price OF
sugar during the past month.

gTdueS Ol sugar 10 ahouV Uho S"lno.
So that sugar is not only not as dear
as year ago but it is much cheaper.
ais sugar as dear as it was a year
ago?" a Bee asked an expert at Ber-
dan & Cos. Saturday.
"No. Nor as dear today as it was
yesterday. l am Republican, but l
must say our Republican papers are
making a mistake in this matter.
Here are the closing prices of refined
sugar for today and one year ago."
The gentleman produced a table Of
figures containing the facts given
above.
"As you are possibly aware" the
Bee continued, "the Republican papers
claim that sugar has advanced three
cents since the passage of the recent
tariff bill. Is it true?"
"No. Just the contrary. Sugar
has declined and is going down every
day. The closing price to day was II
cents a hundred below yesterday"
nWhat causes the decline2'
There are two chief factors. First.
the sugar crop this'year was unusual
ly large, and again the handlers of
sugar laid in an extra heavy supply.
Every one stocked up full prior to
the passage of the new tariff bill, and
the result is that stocks are so large
that it is necessary to cut close to sell
at all. 1t is the old, old law of sup.
ply and demand"
"What figure does the duty on
sugar cut, if any?"
"Under ordinary circumstances the
duty on sugar would have caused an
advance of about cent pound. If
the causes which | have named had
not existed; that is, if the sugar crop
was fair and the amount of surplus on
hand not so large, I would have ex-
pected that sugar would have advanc,
ed about cent pound"
ais there any prospect of an ad-
vance,"
perhaps; but there Is another
large crop In sight and the supply is
going to continue greater than the de
mand for at least another year."
"Whom does the duty on sugar
beneft?" -
"Oh, the government largely. 1t is
peculiarly a tariff for revenue. You
take raw sugar, which costs q cents
pound, the importer pays-and
eventually the consumer-the duty ol
one cent pound to the government
AS the price of raw sugar advances
the duty becomes proportionately
heavier. The revenue goes, however
to the government"
"Then it is fact that the price o.
sugar has not and possibly will no
advance?'
"It is solemn fact that sugar ii
cheaper than it was yesterday or
year ago today
