SHREWD BUSINESS MEN.

How the Merchants CT London, o., Brought
Money to the Tcwn.
The story Of tho fall and subsequent
rise Of the town Of London, O., shows
what pluck and business Sagacity can ac-
complish il the face Of apparently in
s~urmOuntable difficulties. There is 10
patent on the process, and the ideas SO
successfully carried out il London point
the way fer similar efforts in other To-
o%aIities.
The trade Of this place was cut OF by
the building up Of larger cities Oh every
side, until the radius from which any
business at all could be expected grew
very small, and in order to attract at
tenticn from beyond these small limits
onn heroic measure had to be adopted,
and after several attempts at coaxing
the people with bargains and paying a
cent more per bushel for grain than 9TH
er markets, the merchants We're fast be-
coming discouraged at the evident fall
ing off Of custom, when some bright
genius suggested the advertising of a
gigantic stock sale on one certain day of
each month, inviting the traders and
dealers of the east to meet the farmers
and breeders and buy their surplus stock.
The idea met with instant success
from the start, quickly growing in pro-
portions and Importance far beyond the.
most sauguine expectations of the pro-
motors, AS on London sale day thousands.
Of people flock to this little town to buy
and sell, swap and dicker, and the
streets are crowded with people. Much
money CT course changes hands, and it
is sur1nised that the shrewd London
business men who conceived and carried
out SO good a scheme get Il goodly por-
ton Of it ii exchange for commodities

THE KAlSER'S NEW METEOR,
Built on the Lines of vaikyrie III, With
Certain Improvements.


The yacht Meteor, now in process of
construction at MeadOwside, Glasgow,
at the yards Of D. & ". Henderson, the
dimensions and design having beef,
carefully guarded, is being pushed rap
idly toward completion.
The new yacht, which has been de-
signed for Kaiser Wilhelm by Watson,
measures .20 feet Over al, with IL load
water line length of IS feet 10 inches.
Her eNtre1nc beam measurement is 25
feet and aar draft il estimated to be
IS feet 3 inches. Her racing length, &C
cording to the eminent designers fig
ures, will be 90 feet 8 inches.
Her sail spread is enormous, being
calculated at 1900 squire feet, and
her immense boom extends far out be
yond the long oyerhangirg stern.
The plankirg, from keel to water
line, is of American elrn, while her top
sides will be of selected mahogany. Her
frames are made of steel, similar to
that used in the construction Of the 30
knot torpedo boat Destroyer, now build
ing on the Thames. The latest creation
Of the English designer is similar to
Lord Dunraven's yacht Valkyrie III in
appearance, but tine German emperor's
yacht is an improvement on the above
mentioned vessel, Mr.. Watson having
learned u lesson from the Herreshoffs
and made her keel shorter than the
Irish earl's yacht, and tapering from the
bows to the water line in a more grad
ual curve.
She will have three sets of spars made,
each Of which will be given a trial be-
fore the new yacht will be tried out in
q race.

CANADA DOES NOT GROW.

Ono Reason II n Heavy Emigration
to the United states.
In spite Of almost unsurpassed nat.
ural resources and Il frugal and indus
triOus people. the Dominion Of Canada
shows constant retrograde move
ment in population and wealth.
While other colonies Of Great Brit
ain, such rs Australia and the South
African states, have made wonderful
steps in advance, Canada, the Oldest
of all. has gone backward. Constant
streams of immigrants are arriving at
her ports only to pass through and be-
come citizens of the United States.
Fabulous sums have been paid by the
people for the subSidiZing Of railways
and steamship lines. the eSta blishmcnt
of bureaus abroad to induce immigra-
ton and in bonuses to settlers. Grants
of princely proportions have .,een made
to railways to ODen up new territory.
but immigrants have not followed. and
if 1t We're not for imperial bOnntieS the
lines would be abandoned.
1t cost Canada $1O.OOO.O0O between
1881 and 1891 to secure and hold less
than 10000 out Of 81 1874 immigrants
who came to the country. In the same
period the gain from natural increase
was only 47O.:Sj. The cities show nG
greater prOportiOnate gain in pOpula-
ton than do the country districts.
TOrOntO's census for 1896 displays an
increase over 1895 Of only seven-tenths
of I per cent, which is extremely low
for the leading city of the dominion.
At the present time the whole pOpu-
latiOn Of Canada is estimated Mt not
more than 5.OOOOOO, and the birth rate
In the Protestant provinces is on the
decrease, because so many OF the
younger men and women have emf
grated to the United States. Our own
census for 1890 shows thas there are
among us 1.OOO.OOO native-born CAM
dams. and data since that year show
a larger proportion coming to us from
that country. This immigration repre-
sents a vast loss in wealth to Canada.
On the basis Of Mulhalrs statistics
this will in 1900 have reached the enOr.
nous sum Of $2,OOO.OOO,OOO
These facts, which are admitted by
themselves, should convince
them Of the failure Of their form Of
government and would. one might
think, incline them to the annexation
idea. but the latter has not made any
material progress and the dominion
seems as firm a part Of the British en-
pire as it ever was.-Ch,cagO Chronicle.

Marriage Complications Of . Player
whom Washington Admired
John Henry, the handsome. majestic
Irish actor. who became q favOrite on
the American stage, was greatly ad-
mired by George Washington. says the
author of the new book. Shakes
pears Heroes on the Stage" in his in
teresting description of the history Of
the masterpieces and their impersOna
tors. But his marriage relations were
eccentric. to say the least.
His first wife," says the chronicle
in ''Shakespeare's Heroes" the eldest
Of family of four girls. was lost at
sea when the vessel on which she was
vOyaging from Jamaica was burned.
Mrs. Henry left a sister Ann. who
afterward, as Mrs. John Hogg, became
great favOrite with the old Park
theater audiences in New York. With
Ann as wife Henry lived for a time.
but deserted her to marry the youngest
sister of the family. pretty little Maria
StOrer. She was perfect fairy in per-
son. according to the story of those
who acted with her. but her character
is not enhanced by this willingness to
accept the man who. the widOwer Of
one Of her sisters, could thus desert an
other sister.
Poets Of the last century wrote
verses in Maria StOrer's honor:
Enchanting maid!
Whose easy nature every grace affords.
And charms without the empty pomp
Of words.
Up: the slight blue-eyed Ariel Qor
that was her ideal parO could be irrit
able and tempestuOus. could refuse TO
act il she did not like the character
allotted to her. or had failed to win all
the applause she thought she deserved,
and. chief Of all. could accept John
Henry.
Her retributiOn was sufficient. A
few months after Henry died his
widow. pOverty-stricken and demented.
passed away in miserable death In u
house back of the theater where she
had met with so many triumphs.
Nor was Henry himself less capri
ciOus and QuarrelSOme. In fact. he
was very often involved in personal en-
counters, and on one occasion. ut least.
and probably well-merited drubbinS
from his associate. Hallam. an active
fellow. though much smaller. Grad
ually Henry grew unpopular; the chief
roles one by one slipped away from
him. and the newspapers even allowed
him to be insulted in their columns by
letters railing ut his incapacity. At
last, worried on every side. he was
driven to sell for $4,000 his interest
in the old American company. and re-
tired to die Of quick consumption short
ly afterward ut the age Of forty seven."
