PRIZE MASQUERADE.
Very Enjoyable Party at Leider-
tlfeI Hall

Liedertafel hall was the scene Of a
most enjoyable entertainment last
evening in the nature of a grand prize
masquerade ball, given by the clip
per- club a West Side social organi-
zation. AS early as o'clock the large
hall was filled with gay maskers, who
made merry until the small hours, to
the accompaniment of Prof Knack's
mandolin orchestra Characters of all
nations were represented. Turks, Chi
namen, Indians, Africans, Russians
and the ever prevalent Irishman, lads
and maidens, mingled their steps in the
seductive waltz, irrespective of ma
tional prejudice and differences.
At o'clock the prize march began.
So many and varied were the fancifuI
and unique costumes that the judges
were some time in reaching the final
decison, which gave Miss Josie Aldrich
and Andrew Anderson the prize for the
best dressed couple, and Thomas Lynch
and Gertrude Clans first prize for
a presentation of the most comical
characterization.

A FOOLISH FANCY.

Mr.. Il. 3. Walker, of Minneapolis,
has exploited a good many curious
ideas on paper, but none less worthy
of serious consideration than those
which he has collected in a pamphlet
which he calls Low Tariffs and
Hard Times" and which purports to
be a review of tariff rates from 1921 to
1895. If we can trust the summary
of this that appears in the newspa-
pers. his theory seems to be that all
other factors in our industrial de-
velopment have counted for little or
nothing. 1t is the tariff that has
built up the country and created its
wealth. When duties were raised,
prosperity ensued When duties were
lowered, panic and bankruptcy fol-
lowed. To the forced support of this
preposterous theory he endeavors to
bend a vast mass Of statistics that
he has collected.
We do not think it worth while to
discuss at any length an argument
which attributes the panic of 1887,
for example, whose history has been
written and is we'll understood, to
tariff reductions; which explains that
of 1873 in the same way; and which
saws that individual disturbances
worldwide in their occurrence, at
fecting the trade of those nations
having high tariffs as seriously as
those reducing their rates, were due
to a particular schedule of duties
that happened to be adopted by the
congress of the United States. The
paucity of cause as related to the
magnitude of effect is in itself a
sufficient answer.
1t would be enough, indeed, to
cause the summary dismissal of this
matter from consideration that it
proceeds entirely according to the
ancient and exploded theory of the
balance of trade" Mr.. Walkers
political economy is that of an an
tiquated and unenlightened genera
ton. The mercantile theory ap-
parently still holds undisputed sway
in his mind. He rejects the idea that
trade is barter. Prosperity, in his
conception, consists in wrestling
money balance from some other
country, and not in the liberal in
terchange of goods between peo-
pies each of whom profits by the
transaction.
Furthermore, when we find him ar
guing that the Mckinley bill reduced
tariff rates, and reaching this con-
clusion by averaging the total
amount of duty collected on the
whole mass of imports, both dutia-
BILE and free, thus using the enor-
nous bulk of free sugar to make a
low rate on taxed articles, we, see
that he is the victim of one of those
fantasies that frequently take pos
session of even sober minds when
they approach the study of economic
subjects with a preconceived theory
which they intend to establish, rath-
er than with desire to discover the
truth, wherever it may lead. Mr..
Walkers pamphlet may serve the
Home Market club, and attain to
the distinction of distribution by
the Republican campaign commit
tee. AS a sober discussion of econo-
mic and historic facts it seems to
possess no value whatever.

sARAToGA's FAMOUS cLuD HOUSE.
The Fortunes Made and Lost in IL
During the old siOrrissey Days.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
From the advent of Morrissey the char
acter of Saratoga underwent a radical
change. The sedate, old wealthy families,
who had themselves fooled down to the
Springs in the mornings and lived a life
of rare elegance, began to feel the new or
der irksome to them. The newcomers
were eciipsing them in elegance. They had
not been brought up to the rapid pace
that was being set, and so they surren-
dered and left.
But the club house is to be only a mem
ory. Many and many a rout has there
been had and many a fortune passed
across the tables. 1t catered to the plung-
err No picayune player or "piker' was
ever encouraged. No one who wished to
sit down was ever refused, but the men
to whom the loss of $50 or Of $50 was of
evident moment received little cheer and
no sympathy. Both the house and the
players viewed him with a disfavor that
he felt, and under which he usually re-
treated. Its rules were strict as such
rules go. Its officers were men of the
world. Its croupiers and bankers were
businesslike and silent, but always ex-
tremely courteous. The doors swung open
to you whether you had come to witness
the play or to participate in 1t. It's cafe
was the best in the village; it's service
beyond criticism. Its prices in the cafe
were in keeping with the service and the
meals, but its patrons did not mind that.
Its walls were richly tapestried, and its
floors were bedded with costly rugs and
carpets In a word, 1t was in all respects
save that gambling was its chief feat
ure-conducted as are frst-class clubs
1t was in reality the center of interest
in the village. Parties OF men and women
dined in the cafe and then, through the
open doors leading into the parlors, they
could see the play go on. Had John Nor
rissey been eager for money for his own
sake, he could have amassed tremendous
fortune from it. He probably made less
from II than its present proprietOrs. For
some years after his death the house wan

Wood, got a one-hfth interest in it, and
then it doomed again. Politicians and

HUNTING ron WEALTH.

From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Stroudsburg, Aug. "a cavern, thought
to have been made centuries ago on
the farm of julius NJ. milford in the
hill country three miles back of Ding
mans, has recently been discovered and
many people are visiting II. A few days
age II. c. Mercer. professor OF archaeol-
ogy of the University of Pennsylvania,
came out from Philadelphia for the pur-
pose of seeing the wonders of this cave
or vault
Mulford, imbued with the spirit CT
Cortez. is firm in his belief that there
are gold and silver mines on his farm,
and has made extensive excavations at
different times in his search for the
precious metals. On one of the occa-
sions the cliff in question was the scene
of action, and when they had broken
through the wall an arch three feet in
width and in hight sufficient TO admit
the ordinary man in STOPPING posture APP
peared before the astonish workmen.
A careful examination of the sides has
convinced Mr.. Milford that the place
had been made by human hands. and
that it was vault in which great riches
had been stored by some unknown race
of people antecedent to the Indians. He
therefore set a compass in the cavern
and as the needle DETECTED toward the
east corner he began blasting tine rock
at that point and has now hole six
or eight feet in depth and several feet
in diameter in that part of the cavern.
He thinks that he sees plainly that the
rocks have been placed in position and
have been firmly cemeted together by
cement of great hardness, and believes
that he win soon reach the final parti-
ton wall and a blast will reveal the
wealth of a Croesus.
Prof. Mercer carefully examined every
acute angle of rock and rendered an opin-
ion which did not exactly suit the enthus-
iastic Milford, who exclaimed: Gentle
men l firmly believe that this white
mound or cliff, as you call ii. was made
with human hands and I'm going to know
what's in il as sure as my name is Null
ford. Didn't Cortez find great wealth
in Peru in just this manner?'
