He Gives 1t Publicity in His Peoples
Party Paper-Bryan's Defeat.
ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 13--The letter
of acceptance written by Thomas Wat
son accepting the Populist nomination
for Vice President was yesterday made
public. Seven columns of Watson's
Peoples party paper are devoted to it.
The letter is supplemented by four col
umns of advice to Populists to ''sit
steady in the boat and hold their party
together" The editorial tone of the
paper is one of fulfilled prophecy.
Watson declares that the failure of the
Populists to support Bryan in the close
states brought about McKinley's cleo
ton. He goes into long review of
the circumstances leading to his nomi-
nation and accepts the Vice Presi-
Dental nomination because l said L

He declares that if the st. Louis Pop
ulist convention had nominated a
straight Populist ticket it would have
been elected. 1t would, he said have
driven the Hills and Germans where
they belong-into the Republican
ranks-and the organs and BANDS
would have joined with the Populists.
He complains bitterly of the treatment
he has received at the hands of the
Populist leaders.

Loves Service.

Love always gives. Service has a
thousand forms, says the Christian
Herald. Sometimes it is poverty that
stands at our door and relief is want
ed. More often it is not money nor
bread, but something more precious.
friendship, sympathy. Sorrow or lone
illness is before us. A mothers heart
is breaking. Money would be useless
it would be mockery. But we can
hold to the neighbours lips cup of the
wine of love, filled out of our own
heart. which will hearten the sufferer.
Or it is the anguish of a life struggle,
a human Gethsemane, beside which we
are called to watch. We can give no
actual aid-the soul must fight it's bat
ties alone; but we can be as the angel
that ministered to our Lords Gethse-
name imparting strength and helping
the weary struggler to win the victory.
The world is very full of sorrow and
trial, and we cannot live among our
fellow men and be true without sharing
their loads. If We are happy we must
hold the lamp of our happiness so that
it will fall upon the Swallowed heart.
If we have no burden, it is our duty to
put our shoulders under the load of
others. Selfishness must die or else
our own hearts life must be frozen
within us. We soon learn that we can
not live for ourselves and be Christ
ians; that the blessings that are sent
us are to be shared with others and
that we are only Gods almoners to
carry them in Christ's name to those
for whom they were intended.

In the Venezuela Case.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The king of
Sweden and Norway, Oscar IL, has
been chosen by treaty between the
United States and Great Britain as the
fifth official arbitrator of the Venezue-
Ian boundary question. The other ar
bitrators, four in number, are to be
designated, two by the lord chief JUS
tice of England and two by the chief
justice of the United States. This is
the final and most important feature
of the treaty for the complete adjust

controversy. The treaty was con-
Guided in Washington Monday night at
the British embassy, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote representing her Britannia
majesty and Secretary Olney the

The other essential feature of the
treaty is that fifty years actual pos
session is to constitute title. With this
limitation as to the settled districts,
the entire sweep of the Venezuela
boundary is placed in the court of ar
bitration. The treaty covers only Vene-
zuela, and the question of general ar
bitration between the United States
and Great Britain is left to future ne
gotiations

PROF. DYCHE RETURNS.

Thinks the North Pole Can BE Reached
by the Alaska Route.
LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. 13.-Professor
L. L. Dyche, who left Lawrence five
months ago for Alaska to secure nat
ural history specimens for the Kansas
university museums, returned home
yesterday afternoon.
Professor Dyche got seventeen whole
skins of the white Rocky Mountain
sheep, six young sea offers, which he
traded for from the Indians; $50 birds,
many small mammals, a group of five
fur seals and some bears. He took $50
photographs, got large number of
curious and was successful in every
way in getting what he went for.
When asked about north pole pas
sage through the Alaskan route, Pro
lessor Dyche replied that he thought
it was perfectly feasible and that his
ship captain and whalers had told him
that it was often possible to go as far
north as SO degrees, and that some of
the whalers were of the belief that
some seasons it would be possible to
sail clear through the north pole, on
account of the shifting of the ice.

BUSINESS PICKING UP.

Dun's and Bradstreet's Weekly Review
of Trade-Change for Better.
New YORK, Nov. 14.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S review of trade says:
''No one doubts that the brighter
day is dawniDg, and it is the common
remark that never before has business
shown so great change for the better
within single week. Dispatches
telling of about 500 establishments
which have opened or have materially
enlarged their force, though they may
fill columns, give only part Of the
facts, for throughout the country the
gain has been surprising, even to the
most hopeful.
Foreign need of American wheat
continues an important factor and the
price has advanced to SO cents, gaining
6 cents for one week, 10 cents for two
weeks, and "a cents since early in Sep
TENDER. The price is the highest since
June, 1892.
Bradstreet's says:
1.-THE volume of business improves
steadily in nearly all lines. The most
active demand is among jobbers in dry
goods, clothing, millinery, sheets,
leather and hardware, and in leading
industrial lines, nearly 200 mills, fac
tories and foundries having started up
this week, one-haf of them in steel,
machinery, tools, carriages, lumber,
glass, wooden and cotton goods lines.
About sixty-three other industrial
establishments have increased working
forces or working hours, or both,
among them nineteen iron and steel
Establishments, ten glass works and
four factories, each making lamps,
clocks, wooden and cotton goods. A
partial record of the number of men
given employment in industrial lines
since November shows an aggregate
of nearly 10000.
