MIR. OLIVER lHALIFOUX

IS NOT ONE OF THE sIGNERs OF PEYToN
 BowMAN's BOND.
 The statement that MT. Oliver Chalifoux was one of the sgners of Peyton G. Bow mans bond was an error. The AGE HERALD reporter was told so by message over the telephone from the sheriffs office. The informant was 10 doubt misled into king the statement by the fact that MT. ChaIifoux was spoken of in that connee- tion, and was asked to help make the bond 1, which he declined to do. He is busi ness man, and makes it a point and matter of business never to sign a bond of any char acter.

 THE EVENING PRAYER.

Twas grandma taught our little girl, Our four-year darling May. Her "N Now lay me down to sleep,' On pended knee to pray. [" If I should die before wake, pray the Lord my soul to take;'' And then to close he evening prayer, Would have her add thereto: Dod bless my damma Sniff, Dainpa Smif and Uncle Joe, My Dampa White and Damma White, And (otner names) good night. One evening at her grandma's knee, When tired out with play, The little darling bowed her head Her evening prayer to say She finished out the the little rhymes, And blessings then began, With Damma Smith and Dampa White, And Dampa Smith and here the light Shut out by dropping lids, She added in her innocence, tWithout thought of fun or jokes). Dam-dam-and all my dam tinfokes.

 Rains and cooler weather in the southwest, dullness and depression in fAe south and at Liverpool, and the serious news of the strike strike, had weakening effect.
 fife crop news was generally favorable. A summary of the reports received by the Chron- icle read as follows:
 "1hey indicate that the weather has been very dry oyer great portions of Texas during the week, and while the crop lgenerally looks promising, late cotton is said to be needing rain In some localities. In the remainder Of the south, however, there has as whole been sufficient moisture and the crop is doing well.p

THE DULL SEASON.

In good times people buy what they wish; in bad times they buy what they must.
 When money comes most easily it goes most readily, but when silver dollar looks as big as Dakota horizon aud as lonesome as politician at a prayer meeting, it's owner clings to it until he finds a bargain. He has big dollar, and he wants a big dollars worth.
 The dull season, therefore, is the season in which the merchant should pay the most attention to the interests of his GUS. toners. Whether a customer spends a dime or dollar, he should feel perfectly satisfied that he has got the full value of his money, and that is the case with all who spend their money at the Surprise Store.
 More steam is required to drag business mp the hill of a dull season than is needed tc pull it along the smooth level of good, Hush times, and low prices nowadays is to business what fuel is to locomotive which, by the way, is a remark that we stole from somebody, who stole it from somebody else who had stolen it.

THE PHONoGRAPH FoREToLD.

THE PHONOGRAPH FOREToLD.
 To the Age-Herald.
 have been looking over some articles published twenty-five years ago. Among these is one headed, "Automatic Writing,' ,' taken from Gentleman B Magazine, which is very curious as fully anticipating the photograph. It Is as follows: "The time may come, though it may seem premature to expect it, when a mans words will be made to write themselves down automatic ally as fast as they come from his lips, when speech will yield sound, picture sonogram that we may gaze upon as we now do upon light picture and trans Nonsense, you say. It is no nonsense, no dream. Go ask a physicist if he can con- ceive it's possibility, and unless he be a very narrow sighted member of his com munity he will reply that he can. You who now say nonsense would have said the same fifty years ago if any one had told you that some day the image of your coun- tenance would paint itself photographic ally. But before you repeat your decision think of this light as wave motion, and the chemist has found substance which the waves, as they dash against it, can transform or transmute. And SO we have got photography. Sound is wave motion, its waves are as breakers, lights are as rip- pies, the former large and slow, the latter small and rapid. Now, since we have got the substance that is impossible by the lit tie weak waves why should we despair of finding su ubstance that will alter under the influence of the great strong ones. We can make lamp glass ring with the voice pitched to certain note. Soon we may cause the same sound to vibrate body that will make mark on paper as it swings, and then we can make another working body vibrate to another sound, and so on up the gamut. Thus we shall get an ap- paratus which will mark the notes of melody each as it is sung. And after this it is not difficult to conceive a series of vibrators, each altoned to one of the few separate and distinct sounds that the human voice can utter. Here will be an analogue to the photographers camera, placed before speaker such an apparatus will sonograph all he has to say. Some who smile at this will live to see the thing 6one.'

IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK, July 7.-The days business at the stock exchange showed some improve ment as compared with the previous Saturday but the activity was at the expense of values. American Sugar, St. Paul, Chicago, Burng- ton and Quincy, Chicago Gas and Rock Island much weaker in tone, and the bears were az gressive on account of London iquidatons and the lawlessness of the western strikers. Large foreign houses said that their corre- spond ents were disappointed at the strength and number of the strikers, and reported a dribbling of long stocks. The selling was also accelerated by the stock failures in London shake out little moro stock, the destruction of railway property by the strikers assisting those operating for lower prices. If the mer- chandise movement is to be stopped much longer the banks will have to follow the exam pie of LaZard Freres and forward gold 10 for eign creditors. The decline in prices ranged from l2 10 3l5 per cent. At the close some- what steadier tone prevailed, and a rally of 4 to 14 resulted. Net ch anges for the day show losses of A to IA per cent, except in Pullman, <, which fell 2l2 per cent.

Wild Horses in Delaware.

Few people would imagine that such
a thing as a wild horse could be found
in an cd, settled country like Della
ware, but a recent lawsuit brings out
the fact that there are such there, and
a good many of them. 1t seems that
t%wenty-one years ago the Wistar BROTH
ers gave two ponies to a Mr.. Black to
be cared for in pasture or an island in
the Delaware River. They have been
there ever since, and have multiplied
until there are o seventy-two OF them,
all unbroken, and they are so wild it is
dangerous to come near them. Blacks
widow has sued the Wistars for the
care of the horses, and got a Judgment
for over $1,000, much more than any
body will give for the horses. The
Wistars refuse to pay or take their
stock off the island.
