sRSA8QR TELLER ON THE. CAM
i saSag PAIGN. SILT 1910

Senator Teller Will go to Chicago this
week TO confer with Senator Jones
with reference to the speeches he is to
make in the campaign. His time win
be controlled by the National Demo
cratic committee. 1t means much
when such Republicans as Teller in
Colorado, Dubois in Idaho, Hughes in
Virginia, Dockery in North Carolina
and other old-time leaders desert their
party's candidate. They would not do
it if the party had not been sold out
body and soul to the gold syndicate.
In an interview in Denver, Senator
Teller expressed great confidence in
the favorable result of the campaign,
saying that his mail indicated marvel
ously rapid growth of the free silver
sentiment. He says that Bryan's cam
paign has so far justified the anticipa-
tons of his most ardent admirers, and
expresses the opinion that the history
of the country does not record a series
of speeches more apt and telling than
those which have been delivered by the
free silver candidate in his Eastern
tour

A "scHEArE TO DECEIVE"

A special TO ne Pittsburg Dispatch
from Columbus. Ohio, referring to the
arrangements for the monster meet
ing to be addressed 10y Bryan tonight,
from a Republican source, contains an
admission that shows how the wind
is blowing in McKinley's own state:
"One of the very cleverest
schemes of the Democracy 10 de-
ceive the Republican voters on the
money question is to select a ma
iority of their club presidents
from those who have heretofore
been Republicans. In nearly every
instance in this part of the State
club presidents are taken from
those who have been Republicans
and who are willing to permit the
use of themselves as decoys for the
Democratic leaders"
1t would hardly be possible for the
wicked Democrats to select the ma
iority of their club presidents from
those who have heretofore been Re
publicans" unless there was gener-
al exodus from the Republican party
in Ohio. The proof of the numerous
converts from the Republican party in
McKinley's own State is here admitted
by a Republican writer in an article
explaining why the reception OF

NO WARRANT FOR ITS FAITH.

The Richmond Times commends Mr..
McKinley's alIusion to the death of
sectionalism and draws the conclusion
that "the dark shadow of the Force bill
which fell across the pathway of the
South is lifting" Mr.. Mckinley voted
for the Force bill. He would approve
another like bill if it came to him. Let
the Times ask Mr.. Mckinley these two
questions before felicitating itself that
the dark shadow has lifted:
/. Did you vote for the Force bill?
.. Would you approve such a bill If
elected?
If Mr. Mckinley gives satisfactory
answers, the Times might have some
warrant for its new found faith in the
Canton candidate.

A SOCIETY TRAGEDY.
Fashionable Functions Proved DIS
astrous to the Natural Ice
Skating Rink.


When the Natural Ice Skating Company
opened Its entertainment at the Mechan-
lcs' Pavilion two years ago there was "a
great rush of people who wished to enjoy
the pleasure of gliding over the CLASSY
surface. Natives of northern chimes
wished to renew the joys OF their child
hood, and as a consequence OF their per-
sistent enthusiasm the venture gave
promise of yielding satisfactory dividends
for the stockholders.
That this desirable condition did not
long prevail is shown by suit just filed
by Crane e. Co. against the Natural Ice
Skating Company for $2324 43 balance due.
The original protector of the scheme
found that it cost great deal to start the
enterprise and was surprised to see the
affair nipped by killing frost. more
frlgid than the pond over which his
patrons were invited to ''skim like swal-
lows o'er the smooth lakes brim." His
explanation for the failure is unique and
is an illustration of one of the ldiosyncra-
sizes of Pacific Coast civilization.
Failure of the novel entertainment,
which at first promised so much and which
fiattened oat so quickly, is attributed to a
blunder of the manager of the affair, who
was described as society duck" by the
leading capitalist who staked and lost his
money. Just as the boom of prosperity
appeared TO be so high that nothing could
stay its progress, the manager conceived
the idea OF making the skating rink a
fash ionabIe fad. He mad secured the
patronage of the common people, and he

How Nails Are Named.

Two accounts are given of the origin Of
the terms 'sixpenny, ""eie htpenny,n ten
penny and SO on, as applied to the yari-
Gus sizes of nails. According to one state
ment, when nails were made by hand. the
penny was taken as standard of weight
and six were made to equal the weight of
a copper penny.
This explanation is open to criticism on
account of the very small size of the nails.
of which six were needed to balance even
the large-sized old-fashioned conner
penny, others are much more probable.
One explanation holds that tenpennv
nails originally sold for tenpence a hun
dred, sixpenny nails for sixpence hum
dred ana SO on, the smaller nails sellino
for the lower price. Another explana-
ton is that 1000 nails of the tenpenny
size used to weigh ten pounds, 1000 of the
sixpenpy size six pounds and SO for other
sizes.-Louisville Star.
