And 8ho 1ade Hin Draw . Dag HR1DO -
Loves Lottery.
There was q young man who had .
girl friend. He went to see ner at ir-
regular intervals. He made his last
call one day last week. She had some
wedding-cake from the nuptials Of
friend of hers, and she was telling him
of . new way she had discovered foa
finding out whether you were going &c
get married within q year II will
take some of this cake" she said, land
put it in this envelope, and will take
seven slips of paper and write on six Of
them the names of six girls you know,
anyone of whom you are likely tc
marry. The seventh / will leave
blank. Then will put the slips in
the envelope with the wedding-cake
and give the whole thing to you.
Now. you must take it and put it un-
der your pillow when you go home. In
the morning, the very first thing after
you open your eyes. you must take out
one slip. Do this for seven mornings in
succession. and on the last slip will be
the name of the girl you are sure tc
will never marry"
The young man was quite impressed
with the scheme. He took the envelope
and promised faithfully to fulfill all
the conditions, and to come back and
report at the end of seven days. He
went home and put the envelope under
his pillow. Next morning he drew out
slip. and on il was the name of the
girl who had given the charm to him.
He thought that that was pretty tough
luck. for he really liked the girl very
much. He was out rather late next
night. and when he awoke he was in q
hurry and forgot all about the charm.
When he got home that night he began
thinking the matter over and wonder
ing who the other girls were.
He got the envelope and peered into
it. The slips were all carefully folded
and he could not see a name. Then
his curiosity got the upper hand. He
took out all the slips and unfolded
them. All of the remaining six had
names on them and in each instance
the name was that of the girl who had
prepared the charm. He sat down and
thought long and earnestly. Then he
put on his evening clothes and went
straight up to that girls house. He
stayed long time and when he came
away he was smiling and happy, and
there is going to be a wedding on the
West Side cne of these days.
There is girl who has long head.

cause the scheme is fallacy unless it

In short, cheap goods mean low
wages, and we must have lower wages

markets Our own material is un-

do it without low wages.

DEPRESSION OF TRADE.

The Unsettled Policy Of the Democrats
POrtends Disaster.
More than a year has passed since it
was announced at Washington that
congress was to be convened for the
purpose of bringing to close the
financial crisis or panic that was then
everywhere present The president
and congress assured the people that
with the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act business
would be restored to its normal condi-
ton and the times would again smile
with prosperity; but all these state
ments and prophecies have come to
naught. The level of prices is not yet
found. There is a shrinkage every
where, and no one can tell to-day what
the result is to be. Business interests
everywhere stand idle and without
hope. Capital is seeking a place of in
veStment without encouragement; and
it may truly be said that the markets
are more uncertain than at any other
period in the history of our country.
Added to the present depressed condi-
ton Of trade we have now the most ex-
tensive strike ever known in the
United States. The loss entailed by
this and the other strikes which
have preceded it within the past few
months must take from the common
people many hundred millions Of dol
Lara, besides destroying the industries
that were barely living in the hope of
continuing until times might change
for the better. From Bradstreet and

MATHEMATICAL SIGNS.

How They Were Gradually Reduced to
Their Present Form.
The sign of addition is derived from.
the initial letter of the word 'plus."
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part of the ''p' was placed near
the center, hence the plus sign was
finally reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word was
first contracted into mus, with a hori-
zontal line above to indicate the con-
traction which was a printers freak
that may be found in almost any book
bearing date earlier than the begin
ming of the eighteenth century. After
the lapse of a long period of time the
letters were omitted altogether, leaving
only the short line SO well known to
all. thus s.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into char
acter resembling the letter x. This
was done simply because multiplication
is but shorter form of addition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above q horizontal
line and the divisor below. In order tc
save space in printing, the dividend
was placed to the left and the divisor
to the right, with simple dot in place
of each.
The radical sign was derived from
the initial letter of the word ''radix."
The sign of equality is said to have
first been used in the wear 1857 by
sharp mathematician. who adopted il
as q substitute for the words equal
to."-St. Louis Republic.

GLASS LEGISLATION.

=
Dstessable Schemes Resulting iron IL
Ascendency Of ths Democracy.
Perhaps one of the most detestable
schemes of class legislation ever pro.
posed in an American congress was
that clause of the present tariff act
which repeats the sugar bounty and
destroys the sugar beet industry.
To the farmers Of the west. the estab.
lishment of this industry opened . new
and almost unlimited field. The
official statistics show that under the
operation of the sugar bounty, the pro
duction of beet sugar increased from
six millions of pounds to forty-fouz
millions of pounds in one year. The
outlay necessary to provide this won
derful increase could not possibly have
been made had it not been understood
that both the spirit and the intent OF
the law gave promise of perpetuity AT
least for ten years for the enterprise.
To strike down this promising source
of national wealth at this time is an
outrage beyond the description of hu-
man language

Yesterday afternoon at tho county

Of p~urloining from Louis BacholIi, the
upper Market street %saloonist, a guam.
iity OF wine, Eugene Arnett, Harry
Hill aud George Schell, were given au
examination before Justice Gillespy.
Tho examination Of n number OF wit
Noses showed q pretty clear case
against Hill and Schen, but young
Arnett was discharged. tho state being
unable 10 prove he was implicated in
tho robbery.
Colonel Arnett appeared for tho three
boys and Squire GIllespy conducted the
case for the state. The first witness
was Louis Bnchelli, tho proprietor Of
the place robbed. lilo testified that u
quantity OF wine had been stolen and
some overturned on the floor Of tho
cellar. Louis was right in his bearings
US to what city and county no lived in,
but when asked in VIVA. state he resld-
Cd, no replied:
"Damme il know"
Bachelli further testified that the
amount OF vino taken was ten or eleven
gallons, valued at 81 10 per gallon. Tho
boys got into the cellar By the door NJ
the front, but ne did not know which
OF the young fellows took the stud.
Annie kelm. the keeper OF Il house OF
i'll fame in Alley c, was called, but her
only testimony was that she knew moth
Ing OF the robbery.
Annie Reynolds, who lives across the
alley from Bachelli's place, testified
that on tho morning when the robbery
occurred she was geiting ready to 20 to
market WHOM q noise outside attracted
her attention. She looked out the win.
dow and saw Scholl standing By tho open
cellar door. and also saw young Hill
pass up several bottles OF wine from be-
low. The boys started up Market street,
when she opened the window and
called 10 them to stop or she would call
the police, but they paid no attention
to her. On being further questioned
she said she knew aud identified both
Schell and Hill; she did not know Ar
nett, and when pointed out to her said
he was not there. There were four in
the crowd, and OF the two she did not
know one was tall and broad shouldcred
and wore 4 cap, while the other was

one OF them.
The state rested its case, and Colonel
Arnett, after 4 consultation with the
squire, did not introduce any testimony.
The Justice then discharged young
Arnett, saying: Gene. l AIN glad TO
say you are discharged. l also want TO
say the associations you keep are hurt

from them before you get into serious
