Pigeon Flight From Einel Tower.

Lately a great pigeon flight was or.
gAnized in France, the Eiffel Tower
being selected as the point of de.
parture. The pigeons were drawn not
only from distant parts of France, but
also from Belgium. The time of flight
and the time of arrival al home we're
duly noted. with certain interesting
results regarding the rate of progress
sion. Thus, one pigeon flew ten miles
at the rate of forty-seven miles per
hour. This was high rate, and may
be classified with flight of 264 miles
at forty.three miles au hour. These
rates are low when compared with the
records of previous flights. Thus, a
distance OF 600 miles has been GOV.
cred by a pigeon in twelve hours.
From Blois to Dion is distance Of
200 miles, aud this has been accom-.
plished by pigeon in four hours and
forty-six minutes. Higher rates than
even sixty miles an hour have been
chronicled.

Officers and others interested in the
Army have been expressing their views
in the columns of the papers and mag
azines devotee to defensive branches
of the Government. on "Why Don't
They Enlist?" and "Why They Don't
Enlist" The former question recog-
nizes that there are large number of
unemployed who would make good
soldiers and who would in the Army
be great deal better of in the matter
of comfortable place to sleep, and as
to quantity and quality of food to eat
and clothes to wear. Besides, at the
end of each month they would have a
dozen or more dollars in pocket. But
they don't enlist; at least, those who
are most desirable as soldiers do not
offer 70 serve Uncle Sam. "Why They
Don't Enlist" gives the true reason
for men not enlisting." 1t says that
the soldier is not thought we'll enough
of that the people outside of the ser
vice are too likely to call them rogues,
drunkards, etc., and that the enlisted
man is too often required to do too
much with the axe, pick and shovel,
in building earthworks and making

some of the recruiting officers are too
particular. An instance is cited when,
recently. 200 applicants were exam.

number we're accepted. These were
for the infantry. One athletic young
fellow was rejected because he had
"hammer-toes." That is, his toes re.

IF YOU WE'RE HERE.

II you. were here, the changing sea-
Now gold or green now purple coy,
Now winsome blue at smiling noon
And fading pale Mt eve too soon
Would prove fairy palace, where
Ny thoughts a million gems would wear
To celebrate their Joy.
II you were here, the wilful road,
Meandering now hard by the sea,
Avoiding, claiming, risking sheer,
Now hiding in woodland drear,
Would be n magic lane, whose end
Would golden gifts and rubles lend
To lure us constantly.
The thickly wooded island there,
That stretches long and dark and still
The white sand girding all the land,
Taffright the steps OF pirate band
Would be n mystic shore, whore we
Would search the key OF things to be,
And find it at our will.
Ii you were here, the crescent moon,
Queen regnant Of the 1tful tide,
Who glds the crest OF every wave,
Proclaiming 1t her loving slave,
Would Ill the sea from brim to brim
Forgetful OF her ebbing whim;
And here our bark would ride.
And all the shells along tho strand
Would empty out their sea-song lore
Upon the flying evening gale;
And both should push our silken sail
Far of TO a sweet-scented land.
Where we would wander, hand to hand,
Nor part for evermore.

COMMERCIAL and FINANCIAL
THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs, sc.

The Cincinnati Price Current of October
18th says
1.-THE extent of rainfall during the past
week in the agricultural regions of the West
has been quite limited. and but little relief
has been experienced in the drought regions,
so that conditions in general way are with
out much change. So far as crops are con-
cerned the direct interest centers most in the
effects upon the autumn sown wheat 1t has
been reported from week to week, from many
localities, that seeding was retarded, and
awaiting rains, with limitations that the area
already seeded was short of last year to more
or less extent. The continued lack Of rains,
and the near approach to the time when
freezing weather may be expected, with the
unsatisfactory growth made by much of the
early sowings, combine to encourage appre-
henson that the new crop is to have an I'M
promising start. While it may be admitted
that possibilities still allow of good outcome
the situation now confronting the crop is one
of positive doubt, and of lessening chances
for satisfactory results.
The weather has favored the handling of
corn, and husking operations are we'll under
way in many regions-in fact more or less
throughout the corn belt States. The grain
has dried out earlier than usual, and cribbing
operations have begun to considerable ex-
tent.
The movement of grain is not charging to
any great extent. Corn transactions are on a
| low basis, and large proportion of the pro-
ducers are not offering the grain freely at cur
| rent values. The same remark applies to
oats. As to wheat there are some indications
of more urgent call from interior milling
interests in way calculated to encourage ex-
pectations of higher prices, and to some ex.
| tent there hes been an improving tendency in
prices, and in the aggregate some increase in
volume of marketings. In the Northwest the
movement continues large.
| 1t is interesting to note the important
change in the official indications of the ex
tent of the wheat crop-the Government esti
mates this month being closely in line with
conclusions reached BY the Price Current more
than two months ago as to the minimum
probabilities for the crop.
December wheat at Chicago closed 1sc be

loeWner-Shuitz,

The second wedding ever solem nized in the
Jewish Synagogue in Harrisonburg took place
Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock. The contract
ing parties were Mr.. Joseph Loewner, of
Harrisonburg, and Miss Minnie Shultz,
daughter of Samuel Shultz, of Staunton. The
seating capacity of the synagogue was over
taxed some time before the arrival of the
bridal party, and by the time the ceremony
commenced there was scarcely standing room
in the vestibule. DR.. Tobias Schanfarber, OF
Har-Sinai Temple, Baltimore, offieiated at the
altar, and Miss Lilly Heller played the We'd
ding March. The bride and groom entered
unattended and were preceded up the aisle by
the ushers. Messrs. Charles Loewner, Henry
Ney, julius Wise, and Albert Ney. The
electric chandelier and the seven branched
candlesticks to the right and left of the altar
were brightly illuminated, and the scene was
both beautiful and impressive. The marriage
ritual was partly in Hebrew and partly in
| English. The bride wore travelling suit OF
| brown, and her handsome appearance wa:
the subject of general remark. After the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Eoewner were driven
| to the residence of Herman Wise, brother
in law of the groom, where they received the
congratulations of relatives, and half All houl
later they left on the morning train fol-

North as Philadelphia. They are expected tc
return to Harrisonburg, their intended place
of residence, the latter part of this week.

Fires In the City.

About o'clock Monday morning, the
house, No. a12 Fayette street, the residence OF
Mr.. Arch. Snapp, and owned by Mr.. Harman
Lushbaugh, was greatly damaged by fire, H.
fiicting a supposed loss of $500. The fire had
made considerable progress before the fire
men could get there, but they succeeded in
arresting it and saving other buildings which
were threatened. The furniture was nearly
all saved The building is insured and the
loss will fall on the Insurance Company
This fire is supposed to have been caused by q
defective fiue.
About 9:15 yesterday morning, it was dis
covered that the kitchen at the house owned
by Mr.. Michael Dinneen on East -Kalorama
street and occupied by Mr.. W. W. Goodwin,
was on fire. The alarm was given and the
firemen promptly responded, and the fire was
extinguished before much damage was done.
As is usually the case, defective fiue was the
cause. Defective Flue'' IS the greatest in

fire was distinguished with buckets of water
before their arrival, as it was discovered in its
