CHARLES L. HUTCHINSON, the we'll
known business man of Chicago, who
has just returned from tour around
the world, says that India is terrible
example of the bad effects of free sill
yer. IF l had my way" he says, 81
would send all the free-silyer advo-
Gates to India for few months. If
they found they had to receive their
pay in silver rupees they would begin
at once to hate the white metal. The
rupee was once worth so cents, but free
coinage brought it down to 81 cents,
where it now stands. The natives
hope, however, that we will adopt free
coinage, as they can then ship us their
rupees and raw silver to be coined. 1t
was most instructive lesson, assure
you."

THE LEADING MEN.

The leading poet of Professionalism was
Milton. His Paradise Lost" has been
styled "The Great Puritan Epic"
The Greeks regarded Pindar as the
first of their lyric poets, and since their
time the judgment has been confirmed.
F., The most skillful military tactician
was Napoleon. His victories were won
more by skill and tact than by strength.
The wisest of natural philosophers
was Aristotle, in whose works are found
the beginnings of the history of nature
The leading pantheistic philosopher
was Spinoza. He found God in every
thing, and deemed that everything was
God.
The most talented actor was Dayit
Garriclk. His faculty was such that hi
was equally good in tragedy and com
edy.
The most profound of modern his
torians was Gibboi, whose decline ant
Fall" was history of the world for / ,20C
years.
The most exact poet was Pope. III
frequently rewrote poem eight or tel
times before allowing it to go to thu
printer.
Scott was by far the most eminen
writer of historical fiction. The founde
of this school, it has never since pro
duced his equal.

Upon the whole the weather icondi-
tious of the week ending July is were

preceding weeks, although generous
and much needed rains have fallen
over the greater part of Texas. causing
decided i'm provcment of the crops of
that state. Rain is needed in Wis
consin, Iowa, Missouri, portions of
Nebraska and in Washington. Corn
has suffered some injury as a result of
heavy rains in the south Atlantic and
east Gulf states, but has been general
ly benefited by recent rains in Texas.
IN the great corn states of the central
valleys the crop continues in most
promising condition. Cotton has been
damaged by heavy rains in Virginia,
the Carolinas and Florida, and while
there has been too much rain for cot
ton in Tennessee, the crop in that state
continues in q promising condition.
Tobacco promises we'll, although the
crop has suffered to some extent from
excessive rains in Virginia, Tennessee
and Kentucky.
Kentucky-Cool with local showers
poorly distributed. insufficient rain
in western counties but dry weather is
favorable to harvesting of oats and
hay Much complaint of damage to
corn and tobacco from washouts and
high winds in eastern and central
counties. Otherwise those crops are in
fine condition. Tobacco is being
topped. Wheat is sprouting in shock
in places.

Corn is in silk and tassels, potatoes,
tomatoes, melons and vegetables in
good condition: tobacco looks we'll;
wheat and rye threshing most done;

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
or Carlos Ezeta, ex-President of San SAL
vador, in a San Francisco Hotel.

OF Carlos Ezeta, ex-President of San SAL
vador, in n San Francisco Hotel.
SAN Francisco, July 15.-An attempt
was made to assassinate Carlos Ezeta
eX-president of San Salvador, in the
dining room of his hotel Tuesday af-
ternoon. The ex-president was seated
at a table with few of his friends
when Pedro ,Jiminez. a native of Saliva
dor, entered the room. The in
truder walked directly to Ezcta's
chair, and, as the latter faced
about, Jiminez spat in his face. The
eX-president sprang to his feet to re-
sent the insult, when Jiminez drew a
pistol and leveled it at Ezeta's breast.
The former dictator of Salvador re-
tanned his presence of mind and seiz-
ing chair he held it over Jimi-
nez's head and dared him to fire.
IN anoth.r moment the would-be
assassin was disarmed by Ezeta's
friends and hurried from the room
Later he was turned over to the au-
thorities and taken to the city prison
There he gave his name as Pedro Jimi-
nez and stated he was formerly district
attorney of Salvador under Ezetas'
administration. While acting in that
capacity he incurred the dis.
pleasure of the dictator Who put
him to torture. The ex-president
denies the prisoners statement and ex-
presses the belief that Jimipez is an
emissary of President Gutierrez, of
Salvador who construes Ezeta's pres
ence in San Francisco as menace to
the Salvadorean government, and de-
sires to have him put out of the way.
Jiminez will be tried on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons

If he speaks here at date mentioned

KISS FOR EVERYONE.
An Annual R2unanian Fair Where oscu'
gHSsH> lation Reigns.

g3StHu lation Reigns.
Helmagen, Koumanian country
town of 200 inhabitants, holds it's an
nual fair on the feast of st. Theodore.
On this occasion the place swarms with
newly married brides from 60 or 80 vii
lages in the district; widows who have
taken fresh husbands remain at home.
The young women, in festive attire,
and generally attended by their moth
ers-in-law, carry jugs Of wine en-
wreathed with flowers in their hands.
They kiss every one they meet, and
afterward present the jug to his lips
for nip" The individual thus re-
galed bestows small gift on the fair
Cybele. Not to partake of the proffered
wine is regarded as an insult to the
young wife and her family.
She is therefore reserved toward
strangers, and only kisses those whom
she thinks likely to taste of her wine
| The kissing is carried on everywhere
i'm the streets, in the taverns and in pii
~sfe honses ----.~--.-.----..--, t'sJt.
| The origin of this custom is veiled
in obscurity, Some say. that it date;
back to the time when the Turks made
frequent raids into Transylvania and
carried away all the young women they
could lay their hands on. Such of then
as contrived to escape from captivity
happening. to return to Helmagen a
the time of the fair, kissed their friend
and relatives, and even strangers wh'
congratulated them on their wonder
full deliyerance.

MARTlAN METEOROLoeY.
The Weather on Our Neighboring Planet
Is Always Fine.

The Weather on Our Neighboring Planet
lis Always Fine.
The Martian meteorology is less COM
plicated and more pleasant than that tf
the earth, says the North American Re-
view There the weather is almost al.
ways fine, especially during summer.
Very seldom are there clouds even in
winter. Generally, when we are un-
able to distinguish through the tele-
scope the details of the geographical
configuraticns upon the planet the fault
is in our own, atmosphere and not In
that of Mars. 1t is very rarely the case
that when our atmospheric conditions
are good we are unable to see these de-
tails. During the last period of oh,
servation of Mars in 1894, l, to speak for
myself, encountered only Is days (frOIn
October 10 to 25) when the surface OF
the planet was reiled by its own atmos-
phere. Clouds are excessively rare ON
the surface of Mars, and perhaps exist
at all only as fogs or light cirrus; they
are not clouds of rain or storm. These
wells are very infrequent there, while
they are perpetual upon the earth.
Probably there is not single day in
the year when the entire surface of the
earth is uncovered so that it could be
satisfactorily observed from space. The
two planets have two meteorological
systems that are absolutely antithetic-
al.
Furthermore, in the rarefed atmos-
phere of Mars there can be no powerful
winds, like the trade winds, and the
predominant atmospheric currents
which rule terrestrial climates. Oc-
casionally, however, observers have
noted long streaks of snow which ap.
pear to have been produced by currents
in tranquil atmosphere. Schiaparelli,
for instance, observed such streaka
(''trainees') in November and Decem.
Der, 1881, around the northern pole, and
extending considerable distance from
it. But such things are exceptions.
The normal condition OF Mars is fine
weather. ''--. '-.Y.

On July 16 at Cam bridge, O., will be
held the annual reunion of what is
known as the First Call troops. twill
be remem bered that Immediately after
the firing on Fort Sumpter in April
1861 President Lincoln issued call for
$4,000 three months troops. Four
times that many responded and as it
was impossible to arm and equip SO
large body of men at that time, but a
small portion took the field. Many re-
manned in camps of instruction till
their three months term had expired
and then re-enlisted for three years.
Ysrys many however began and ended
their services in camps of instruction.
The call is very broad and sweeping so
that every one whether he ever saw
SERVICE or not is included, provided al
Ways that he was enrolled prior to
June 1st, 1861. These reunions are
generally most enjoyable affairs and
this time will be addressed by Messrs.
Lucock, Bushnell, Lybarger, Brown,
Taylor and others.

ON. NEWS.

S;stersville, July IA very heavy
thunder storm passed over this city this
morning and while no damage was
done here, two tanks out in the Wick
territory were struck by lightning and
were burned One of the tanks belong
ed to the Kanawha Oil Company and
was located on the Smith farm at well
No Z, and the other one was on the
Strickling farm There was consider
able oil in both of the tanks md the
loss will probably amount to several
hundreds of dollars.
| A very important well drilled in yes
| terday was that on the Jackman farm
out in the Wick territory on McEiroy
creek by the Victor Oil Company.
When drilled to the top of the sand the
we'll showed up fora good producer and
when it was completed this morning
was showing up for 100 barrels day.
| This well is very important one for
| the reason that it is located considera-
bly, to the East of any of the wells drill
| ed so far in that section and eXtend
the field quite distance in that direc-
ton.
After standing at $1.15 for several
weeks the price of credit started to
tum BILE yesterday and went down two
cents. To-day they again started down
along the line and declined three cents.
What the cause of this sudden decline
in the market is to be attributed to no
one will ever attempt to say. Accord
ing to the reports of the pipe line com
panies there is less oil in stock now
than for years and there is every rea-
son to think that the price of oil should
go up. The price of credit balances has
started down now and there is no tell
ing where they will wind up
The well being drilled on the Flesh
er farm, out in the Wick territory, by
the Victor Oil Co., was due in the sand
today, but up to the hour of going to
press nothing had been heard from it,
1t will probably be drilled in tonight
or tomorrow morning.
A report of a big strike at St Marys
was received in the city last night, but
what the we'll was or where it is no
one could be found who could tell. All
the information that could be gotten
was that big we'll had been drilled in
and that the entire country down there
was excited over the strike
