What Does il Mean2

The order has gone forth from Wall
street for a short presidential cam.
paign next year, and the entire pros.
tituted press of the country is pro
claiming the order. The object is tc
cut off discussion of the questions OF
the day. The shylocks know for a
certainty that if the people get full
understanding of their schemes they
will be crushed out with an over
whelming majority. AS stated by
Senator Chandler the other day. fully
nine out of every ten of the popula-
ton will be opposed TO the schemes of
the bankers the moment they become
informed on the subject. He might
have said ninety-nine out of every
hundred, for not more than one out of
hundred of the people is interested
in the robber purpose of the Wall
street gang, Cleveland is evidently
interested ia it, and deeply; and so is
carlisle, and doubtless some others of
the Washington promoters of the fl
nancial syndicate.
they realize that there must be, if
they would succeed, as little agitation
OF the subject as possible. Discussion
will expose its enormity and defeat
their thieving plans, SO the order has
gone forth for short campaign. The
bull-dozing effort of their campaign,
Mr.. Horr, at Chicago was such a con-
piete failure that they have concluded
to change their tactics and play 81
lence. Their plans will be to make
free use of party lash to whip in
enough voters to elect another tool
like Cleveland, and then they will be
on the top again. Agitation of fnan-
cial questions will not serve the pur-
poses of our Rothschilds statesmen and
there must be ehort and silent cam
paign. "Quietly vote for the old
party again. will be the cry. Will the
people obey?-Ciyic Review.

HE READ THE MESSAGE.
But the Drug Clerks Translation of the
Telegram Was Not Corroct

But the Drug Clerks Translation Of tho
Telegram Was Not Correct.
They were standing on the corner of
Seventh and Vine streets not many
nights ago. One of them had received
a telegram, says the Cincinnati Tribune,
and he was making a great effort to
read it. He tried it for several minutes,
and then handed it to his friend with
an air OF disgust.
The second individual gave it up after
struggling with it q quarter of an hour.
II never saw anything to beat that, ;"
he remarked, as he handed the message
back, and I've seen some pretty bad
writing in my time, too"
well, can't read it, and I'd like to
know what it says badly
LET me see. Ah, / have 1t. Drug
clerks can read most any kind of writ
ing Let us go and see."
They went to the nearest pharmacy
and handed the message to the pre-
scription clerk. Before an explanation
could be made, he darted in the rear of
the shop and disappeared behind
screen.
After an absence of fifteen minutes,
during which time both men had grown
very restless, the clerk appeared, and
as he handed the bottle to one of the
men. he said:
Sixty cents, please"
Rather stunned for awhile, the man
| opened the package and read on the
label:
Zone teaspoonful, to be taken three
times every hour"
When an explanation was made the
clerk set up the soda water.

look. Then, when he could restrain
his curiosity no longer, he asked:

Sacred Keys.

Every persons feelings have front door and side door by which they may be entered. The front door is on the street. Some keep it always open, some keep it latchcd, some locked, some bolt ed with chain that will let you peep ill, but not get in, and some nail it up, so that nothing can pass its threshold. This front door leads into a passage which opens into an anteroom, and this into the interior apartments. The side door opens at once into the secret cham Der. There is almost always one key to the side door. This is carried for years hidden in mothers bosom. Fathers, brothers, sisters and friends often, but by no means so universally, have dupli- cates of it. Tho wedding ring conveys a right to one. Alas, if none is given with it! Be very careful to whom you trust one of these keys of the side door. 70. w Holmes.

Curious, but True.

Although difficult to believe, it is nevertheless truo that the death of two half sisters, the daughters of the same father, occurred ITO years apart. The grandfather of the British minister, Charles James Fox, Sir Stephen Fox, married in 1854, and had daughter born to him in 1655, who died in the course of the same year. He had several other children, who grew up and mar ried. but all of them died before the father, and without issue. Sir Stephen, not wishing his large fortune to fall in to the hands of distant relatives, mar ried aga'n at very advanced age, and his yop t daughter was born ill 1727, She re. the age of 9S years, and died in that is ITO years after the death of Ter oldest sister. She saw Queen Victoria when the latter was 8 child, while her half sister was carried ill the arms of Oliver Cromwell.

Sale Made.

A lady who had recently moved to Q new neighborhood was one morning called to the door by the violent ring ing of the bell. On the piazza stood dapper little man who immediately commenced talking at mile minute pace: "Mornin, ma am. Dunno wheth- CT you know me or not. Most of the people round here do. I'm the man that has fits"
 The astoniAlled lady thought that some people claim distinction on very strange, not to say unfit, grounds.
 "Yes'm, have fits any time, any place." he went on. "Liable to drop right down in one anywhere. Spect to get pension. Sellin these wire hooks for birdcages. Every one buys some Give me anything they likes-5 cents or 25 cents Everybody helps me, cos they know have fits-liable to drop right down ill one anywhere. The dazed lis tener hastily gave him what change she had and closed the door, thanking her lucky stars that he didn't feel called upon ''to drop down in one" right there. Boston Transcript.

vALkYRlE IS FAST.
She Takes . Spin With Her Racing Sails
 and Behaves We'll.

and Behaves We'll.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Valkyrie III spread her sails and took spin about the extremity of Sandy Hook. Her outing was not of long duration, but it was suff1- ciently lengthy to show that she is 8 re- markable boat in many respects. The Vigilant preceded her out toward the Hook, but there was no brush between the yachts.
 Valkyrie went through the water in fast fashion and stood up remarkably well in the nine knot breeze which was blow ing. There was enough strength in the wind to send Vigilant, when she was lead ing the way to the Hook on the starboard tack, so far over that a couple of boards of her bronze bottom could be seen. Val kyrie, however, did not seem to go through the water as smoothly as Defender. The cup challenger made q white showing of foam under her port bow, and there was a foamy wave tHrown up from her port quarter as she went through the water on the port tack while heading from the point of the Hook, and she left wake behind her which extended a long distance. The British yacht was then carrying a stay sail, but did not set tOpsail.
 While she was standing back into the bay on the port tack Vigilant continued on her way out to sea, so no comparison of their speed could be obtained. But Val kyPie, with her one staysail and mainsail certainly went through the water very fast
 That Valkyrie is fast in light weather and a smooth sea-conditions similar to those which prevailed yesterday-there can be no doubt and she stood up well al though it must be remembered that she carried no topsail. On the other hand she makes beyond doubt, great commo- tion in the water.

nrrs. Kendal and Servants.

The popular English actress, Mrs Kendall, is a stickler for outward badges of domestic service. She openly avows her opinion that American servants dress too we'll, and says: "No girl in my house can wear fringe. tell her plainly she must part her hair and comb it neatly back beneath a cap, and she must wear an apron and no jewelry, but ribbon around her neck. Only a lady's maid may wear brooch and gc without the cap,> but she must wear an apron. They must wear their caps at the theater too. Why, if they didn't I would wear one myself! There must be q distinction made somehow.
 Mrs. Kendall probably does not re- member that 100 or so years ago the social line of demarcation was drawn at actors and actresses, Dr. Johnson desig- hating them as amusing vagabonds. :" Nor does she evidently take into account that in this country those employed in domestic service are such an important and independent class that an employer has commonly too great fears of her cook being tempted away from her by a plain gold ring to stand at a brooch CT a string of beads Exchange.

 ''An egg and a cup of tea for break fast, then walk for two hours; slice of cold beef and half glass of madeira for luncheon, then walk again for two hours; fish, except salmon, and a outlet or wing of fowl for dinner, with sin gle glass of madeira or claret; to bed at 10 and rise at 6, etc. No carriage exer- sise, please.
