Fishing Party.

The boys and girls had a fishing
party Saturday afternoon. As is us
ual IN such cases, the fish suffer no
diminution, but that did not disturb
the fair disciples of Isaac Walton.
When the fish were angled for with
DO success the hours were spent in
lettering along the lovers walks of
the beautiful Sequachee, and con-
versing about-the Lord knows what
but then you know when sweet
sixteen gets off with her beau con-
versation don flag.
Nobody failing into the river the
party returned home with sun-burnt
faces and tired feet, and 1t is even
said that some Of our local beauties
are now confning themselves to
darkened loom to get rid of some OBJ
noxious freckles tLat have appeared
upon the bridges of their noses. But
sach is life, fishing with the girls.

THE HEGIRA OF POLITICIANS
The Mckinley Headquarters Moved from Cleveland to
 St. Louis.

CLEVELAND, O., June S.-There is a surfeit of political gossip afoat to- day on the eve of the departure of Mark Hanna and his party for St. Louis. The party will leave this city tomorrow evening. There will be with Mir. Hanna, Major Dick, who has no slight share in the ardu0us work of conducting the Mckinley ante-convention campaign ;tieneral Osborne, cousin of Maj. Mckinley, and who has been the chief propa- gandist of the Ohio candidate in New England, and Joseph P. Smith, the chief of the Mckinley bureau of publicity and promotion. One or two othere are expected to join the party before its departure for the convention city, where Gen. Gros- venor and other Mckinley lieuten- ants will be awaiting it's arrival. The hegira of the big politicians will mark the closing of the Mckinley headquarters in Cleveland, from which have been manipulated the wires and cross wires of one of the most remarkable political campaigns the country has ever witnessed. Dur ing the last three months more mail has poured in upon Mr. Hanna than has been received by any other indi- vidual in the United States. I he number of telegrams received daily coming from every town and city from Maine t0 the Golden Gate-is estimated by Major Dick as averag- ing half a thousand. But many deemed their communications an;i queries too important to intrust to wire or post, and the Forest City has been amused by the spectacle of pol iticians, whose names stand at the head of the Republican roll, tramp ing upon one another's heels in com ing and going from the office of Maj, McKinley's manager. Now the en- tire outfit, chief, clerks, messengers with bag and baggage, is about to depart and the city grieves, and the interested ones stare at the notice on the office door advising all 'fip' pers" and others to call or write

BICYCLES FREE
To Boys and Girls Who Will Get Subscribers to the Daily and
 Semi Weekly Graphic

The school season has about closed, and books will soon be dis placed ill the mind of every boy and girl by sports and amusements. There is nothing so popular at the present day as bicycles, and nothing so coveted by the young of both sexes. Most children, however, cannot afford the luxury of a wheel owing to their great cost. In order, therefore, to give everyonean oppor- tunity of securing a good bicycle the GRAPHIC has decided to make the following offers:
 To every boy or girl who secures fifty sub. cribers to the Daily GRAPHIC for a period of two months or fifty subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC for a period of one year each, will be given a $40 De- fiance bicycle.
 To every person securing sixty two-month subscribers t0 the Daily or sixty yearly subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given a $50 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing seventy twO-month subscribers to the Daily or seventy yearly subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given u $G0 Defiance bicycle
 To every person securing eighty five two-month subscribers to the Daily or eighty-Gve yearly subscrib- CTS to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q $75 Defiance bicycle.
 It is not necessary that the whole number be made up of subscribers to the same paper, but it may be com posed of part Daily and part Semi Weekly subscriptions.
 The above offers apply only to new subscribers or to parties taking neither the Daily nor Semi Weekly GRAPHIC at the present time-May 24. The subscription price-65 cents a month for the Daily and $l.50 a year for the Semi-Weekly-must accompany every name, else credit will not he given the solicitor. In the event three or four month subscriptions to the Daily are secured, q corresponding decrease iii tie number required will be allowed, !, but no person will be permitted to subscribe for a longer period than four months to the Daily or one year to the Semi Weekly. One canvasser can transfer his list to the credit of another should he fail to get the required number to get q bicycle.
 Defiance bicycles are manufactured and guaranteed by the Monarch Cycle Mfg. Co.,, of Chicago, and are made af the same material nsed m S100 wheels. They are, therefore, for superior to most cheap bicycles. The $40 and $50 wheels are for boys md girls and the $60 and $70 wheels for adults. Catalogues containing a detailed description of each machine and blanks for canvassing may be had free at the GRAPHIC office.
 Now is the chance for industrious boys and girls to get bicycles TOT little effort, and the sooner they get to work the easier will it be tf secure the required number of sub scribers. Who will he the ilfst oh'

AMERICAN STOCKS
Are Continued To Be Depressed In
 the English Markets.

NEW YORK, June 8.-London ad- vices receiving in Wall street assign a surprising cause for the continued depression of American stocks in the English market and at the same time afford another re- hinder of the 6riti>her's imperfect knowledge of American politics. II would seem from the dispatches re- ferred 10 that the Venezuelan affair has not yet been allowed to slip from the mind ot the British inves- tor who, thanks, no doubt, 10 the ''Thunderer' and it's American correspondent, still entertains a lurking guspicion that President Cleveland will make a grand-stand play in the international contro- versy before the Democratic con vention assemblies at Chicago next month. The report has caused no end of amusement in financial circles here where the big men in an effort to put up prices have been laboring assiduoasly to allay the fears of English and Continental capitalists with regard to the financial policy of the next administration.
