PASSING OF A CASTLE.
WhitlOcks Folly With 200 Rooms to
be Raced

New York Nov. 1s.-The Casanova
castle at Casanova, on Long Island
sound. Will soon be torn down. The
structure, which is one of the land
marks Of the Twenty-tllird ward, is
owned by a land Improvement company
which intends to utilize the material in
other buildings.
The castle was built by B. NJ. Whit
lock, a rich southerner, who came north
in the late SOS, and is known as Whit
locks folly" Tt is said that he spent
$250, 600 Including the house. Much Of
it was torn down and rebuilt while yet
unfinished, for Whitl0ck was determin-
ed to have exactly what he wanted in
this island home. The house has 200
rooms and it also has subterranean
passage leading from the cellars to the
rocky shore of the sound
The stories told of the style maintain
ed by Whitlock in this house are truly
wonderful. Adjoining the house are
spacious stables, a plant for manufac-
turing gas and numerous outhOuses-
The civil war brought ruin to Whit
lock and the castle fell into the hands
of a Spanish nObleman named CasanO-
va, whose relatives were recently ban
ished from Cuba. The Casanova regime
came to an end about u years ago, and
since that time the place has been IN
occupied, except by a Waterman.

PERMANENT HoalH
10 F1eHr WHomq

Tt seems strange that just when the
principle of international arbitration
has received substantial recognition
andeits universal adoption is in sight,
and the consequent disbanding Of the
large standing armies of the world. that
anyone should be found in the United
States of all other places to recommend
an increase in the standing army Of
this country. This however. is what is
urged by General Miles.
There is a sentiment which prevails
to a considerable extent that the chief
end Of man is not to kill his fellowman,
and that the further ne is removed
from the opportunity or temptation to
40 SO the better. Warfare is no longer
considered So honorable or praiseworthy
as it once was.
1t speaks i'll for nineteenth century
civilization If no better way has yet
been discovered for settling differences
at home or abroad than by the bayonet.
Those favoring an increased army are
doubtless very much in earnest.

The earnestness with which the Com
mercial club has taken hold of the
proposition for the establishment of a
central creamery in this city is com
mendable. Such a plant would be
valuable addition to the business en-
terprises of the city and should not be
permitted to escape Wherever cream
cries have been established they have
proved Of great advantage to local
trade owing to the fact that they put
money into the hands Of the farmers
every month instead Of but once or
twice a year as do ordinary farming
operations. a fixed and steady income
renders the average man more liberal
ia his expenditures.

Fostoria. o.. Nov. 1S-During the
years Of his prosperity Charles Foster
was known far and wide for his liberal
ity and kindness for others less fDrtu-
nate than himself
He was always the first to subscribe
to any enterprise which promised to be
of benefit to the community, and was
known as a man who never. under any
circumstances. foreclosed a mortgage.
Many years ago when his father built
the house now occupied by Mr. Foster $
mother the contractor was man
named Johnson who in some way be
came involved so that his home was to
be sold by the sheriff Learning of the
mans trouble, Mr.. Foster advanced
the money to release the mortgage with
little, if any, hope Of ever getting any
return
After a time Mr. johnson went west
and passed out of the minds of his
friends here, ind has since died. Before
his death, however, he told his sons how
Mr.. Foster had befriended him and how
grateful ne felt for the great service
The sons prOspered and Mr.. Foster fall

600 it is said, in smelling works between
Denver and Cripple Creek in MT Eos
ter's name. but said nothing to Mr.. FOs-
ter until the success Of the project was
fully assured.
Mr.. Foster has been made a director
in the concern and has gone to Denver
to attend a meeting of the directors. 1t
is said that the works are paying inn
rnense dividends

JOHN SEBASTIAN INvENrs
a New Railroad Coupon Ticket to
Prevent Counterfeiting.

John Sebastian, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Rock Island railway,
has invented a new railroad coupon
ticket which is so devised that rail-
roads will not be cheated and counter
letting and manipulating by scalpers
viii be prevented.
BY the use of the new ticket the ac-
counting department of every road over
which any portion of it may be used is
notified at once of the transaction and
is therefore in a position to discover
whether 1T is being rightfulIy used.
The ticket provides a. double check on
itself. At is twice the width of the cou-
pom ticket now in use. A perforated
line runs down the center through its
entire length. The agent tears it in two
on this line and has then a ticket in
duplicate, one part Of which he gives
to the purchaser. The half he keeps
contains the agents advice check. Fol
lowing this there are the coupons for
each road over which the ticket reads.
At the foot Of the purchasers side is
the auditors check, which is turned in
by the first conductor to the auditing
office of the road issuing it.

INDIANS no COST MORE.
Estimate for Their Support Next
Year il Higher Than This

Washington, Nov. 13.-The estimate
for the entire Indian service for the ifs
cal year ending June So 1898, to be sub
mitted to congress at the opening of the
session, calls for an appropriation of
81 ,290 900 in round numbers
This is S100,O 600 more than the appro-
priation for the current fiscal year. The
increase is due to the policy of the gov
eminent adopted at the last session of
congress to abolish graduated contract
Indian schools and to place all Indian
schools absolutely under government
control. One half of the number of Ind
ian pupils are now attending contract
schools. but all are required to be in
the regular government schools within
u months from the end Of the present
fiscal year
The additional expenditure is further
necessitated by the increase OF l. 900
Indian pupils a year. estimated by the
Indian bureau. OF the total estimates
the detailed items Of expenses for the
support Of schools and for the fulfill
ment of treaty specifications with var
ioUs tribes make up 81, 900, 900.

THE RISE OF TRUSTS AND MONO
POLIES.

The overshadowing characteristic of
our industrial history daring the past de-
oade has been the rapid Capitalization of
capital, and the alarming growth of trusts
and combinations designed to repress
competition and raise prices by restrict
ing production. Naturally, and rightly,
such trusts and combinations excite the
enmity Of the public, for while, by mono
polizing the products of various articles
of manufacture they are enabled to tax
the consumer in the shape of an unduIy
enhanced price for what he buys, the
wage Garner, employed by such combina-
tions, receives no benefit from the
enhanced price received for the product
of his labor.
The purpose Of the formation of trusts
is to restrict production, and restricted
production means curtailment of en-
ployment for the wage-earner. Conse-
quently, though restricted production may
mean higher prices for the products of
labor monopolized by trusts, 1t means in
creased lack OF employment and lower
wages for the wage-earner. Therefore the
public interests are not conserved ty

WHERE THE LKS.ZEITUNG
STANDS.

The Ohio Volsk- -Zeitung, the local
Democratic German paper, which has a
large circulation in this section of the
state in its issue of Thursday, August g.,
comes out strongly for Bryan and Sewah.
The Volks-zeitung, like many other
German Democratic papers of this country
was not satisfied with the money plank
in the Chicago platform, but as a true
Democratic paper, it will not bolt the
ticket, but will as it has heretofore done,
stand by it's party whose principles 1t has
fought for nearly twenty years past.
In plain words, the paper states that the
coming election will be battle between
monopoly and the people, and the latter s
rights it will defend. The German Ameri'
cans in this section of the state will no
doubt be found to defend the Democratic
cause regardless of what the metropolitan
papers will have to say.

WHY THE SOUTH Is SOLID.

The South has stood solid against the
Republican party so long in national
elections, not because 1t desired to keep
sectionalism alive, but because OF Its
practical experience with that party In
power. There Ia hardly a Southern state
which was not plundered by Republican
rapacity and disgraced by Republican
corruption during the reconstruction
period. Nor has it been in home govern
ment alone that the South has suffered
from Republican misrule 4he party has
imposed upon the South tariff which
taxed 1t for the benefit Of favored inter-
ests in the North. 1t has threatened the
South with the force bill time and time
again since military rule was abandoned
there and the Southern states were res
tored to full fellowship in the Union.
The Republican party Is the only sec
tional party in the country, and In oppos-
ing solid front to 1t the South gives
proof of its enmity TO seotionalism, rather
than its endorsement of it. The people
of the South are convinced that their own
domestic affairs are best protected by
Democratic supremacy and that impartial
federal legislation cannot be expected
from the Republican party.
There are many Democrats in the South
ern states who are opposed to the free
coinage of silver, but with rare excep'
tions they will stand by the Democratic
organization and vote for the Democratic
nominees, state and national.

OF INTEREST TO eoLDITEs.
The following is an editorial from the
London Financial News, gold standard

The following is an editorial from the
London Financial News, gold standard
advocate:
"There is plain moral in the remark
that IL the United States would venture
to cut herself adrift from Europe and take
outright to silver she would have all
America and Asia at her hack and the
command Of the markets of both ooun-
tries. The barrier of gold would be more
fatal than any barrier Of custom house.
The bond of silver would be stronger
than any bond of free trade. There can
be no doubt about It that II the United
States were to adopt silver basis to-
morrow, British trade would be ruined
before the year was out. Every American
would he protected, not only at home but
in every other market. OF course the
United States would suffer to certain
extent through having to pay her obligs'
tions abroad in gold, but the loss of ex.
change under this head would be mere
drop In the bucket as compared to the
profit to be reaped from the markets Of
South America and Asia, to say nothing
Of Europe. The marvel is that the United
States have not lcng ago seized the oppor
tunity. 1t has been piece of luck thai
it has never occurred to the Americans tt
scoop us out of the worlds markets b,
going on silver basis, and 1t nigh
serve us right If, irritated by the con
temptible epathy of our government
toward the silver problem, the American
retaliated by freezing out gold 1t coul'
be easily DONE"
