CHARLESTOWN, W. Va. Oct. 1S.--Post-
master General Wilson made his first speech
in the campaign here yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was held in the court house,
where a large crowd had gathered to gree
him. When he entered the court room he
was given a grand ovation, which lasted for
several minutes. No one introduced Mr.

q strong appeal for the gold standard, and
was checrcd repeatedly. scN $50
Ono ef tho first things he said was that
he was democrat and not a poYtilist-- He
denounced the Chicago convention and The
platform on which Mr.. Bryan was nomf--
mated, and said II was nothing on earth but
popullst convention and populst plat
form, and that II was almost an exact copy
OF the populist platform OF 1892. He said
the convention was run by Tilman and
Altgeld, both OF whom were anarchists and
populists. When he mentioned Mr.. Bryan's
name the crowd, cheered lou lily. An organ
lied gang stood in the rear of the building
when Mr.. Wilson FIRST started TO speak and
kept yelling for Bryan so much that the
police had to be kept In the building to keep
the crowd quiet. Mr.. Wilson said Mr..
Bryan was an eloquent speaker. en- able de-
batter, an extremist and entirely too young
p man to be president of the United States.
He spoke for over two hours. He said he
was not bolter from the democratic party
and on the Sd of November he would vote
for six democratic electors and not for two
populists and four democrats, as a large
number of people In his county were going
10 do. In tho course of his speech he paid
n high tribute TO Secretary Carlisle and
President Cleveland both OF whom he said
were honest and faithful servants of the
democratic party, and were no more traitors
to the party than General Robert Il. Lee was
to the confederate army.

LONDON. Oct. 19.-Sir Edward Clarke

case, Sir Edward says he did not suggest
that the Venezuelan question was being
used by either party in the United States as

point to the danger of delaying a settle

The Times says editorially of the above:
"Sir Edward Clarke's letter is an inadequate
answer. He showed curious ignorance OF

tempted to talk of It six months ago. II is
lamentable that man who had been Law

MOONRLINK.
A peculiar Blindness Caused by Sleeping
in the Moonlight.


Three cases of 'moonblink" occurred
on the British steamship Acanthus'
which reached Philadelphia the other
day. After the low-lying hills fringing
tie shores of Batavia faded from view
on the afternoon of July IA for so days
her crew of 60 officers and seamen saw
no land, sighted no vessel and encoun-
tered no storm. Among the crew are
three seamen who, during the run
ecross the Indian ocean, suffered terri
bly, from sudden blindness at night, the
result of that strange disease of the
eyes prevalent in the tropics, and
known to sailors as ''moonblink. One
bright, moonlight night, while the
Acanthus was steaming across the In
dian ocean, one of them finding his
berth in the forecastle too uncomforta-
bly, hot, went out and lay upon the
deck. The moon was nearing her full
and shone almost directly overhead.
When the watch was changed at mid
night he was awakened and was horrl-
fed to find himself blind. first the
captain thought the man might be
shamming to avoid going on duty, but
an investigation was maze, anu IL was
found that he could not see, although
his eyes were wide open. The calamity
was at once diagnosed as case OF
''moonblink," and the captain eau
toned his men against running such
risks. When day began to break sight
began to return, and by sunrise he
could see as we'll as if nothing unusual
had happened. All of that day the
case formed the chief topic of CONVEX
sation and when night came two more
men determined to test the effect OF the
moon. After two hours nap in the
full glare of the moon both men were
awakened totally blind. An order from
the captain prevented any further ex-
perimenting in that line during the rest
OF the voyage.

Japanese Merchants Surprised by the
King of Corea.
japanese merchants of Chemulpo, in
the kingdom of Corea, were very much
surprised recently when the king or
dered 3d. 900 bottles of beer in one lot,
SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle. The
entire Japanese colony was not pre-
pared for such a sudden and extensive
order of beer and they put their heads
together, wondering whether it was
the court or the body guard of the king
which had suddenly developed such
a gigantic thirst. A cable was imme-
diately dispatched to Japan and the
beer ordered to be shipped at once, 50
that it might be delivered to the royal
master of the house i'm due time. The
beer arrived promptly, and at the same
time the explanation of the conundrun'
was given to the Japanese, for almost
on the same day Russian man-of-war
arrived there and the entire crew was
invited to be guests of the king of
Corea, who thus showed his gratitude
to the Russians for the shelter accord
ed him at the Russian embassy during
the recent revolutionary disturbances.
The 300 marines on board were very
agreeably surprised when his royal
highness sent 10000 BOTTLES of good
Japanese beer on board-that is, 100
bottles per man-enough liquor to
thoroughly celebrate the Russo-Corean
alliances

A Valuable Addition to Meat Dressings
aud Soups.
The peanut, which for so many years
has been the popular feature OF the
country fair and the circus, is now
creeping into prominence. Doctors
have found that the peanut is an article
of food, erich in albumen, of which it
contains so per cent" and are now
recommending them as valuable addi-
ton to the diet in the form of soups,
purees and mush. The following are
some of the ways in which they may be
used:
Peanuts rolled fine and added to the
bread stufIing for ducks is great addi-
ton and greatly improves it. Make
mayonnaise dressing, mash the pea
nuts fine, and stir them in thicllly and
spread between thin slices of bread as
q sandwich; or plain buttered bread
may be sprinkled lightly with the nuts.
They may also be finely chopped and
eaten with milk. A very good soup may
be made of peanuts by boiling and
MASKING. The Chinese boil peanuts,
roll them fine, mold them in dough,
and bake. Many other ways may be
discovered by the contriving house
wife for the use of this hitherto de-
spised article of diet.

JAPANESE LITERATURE.

Much Activity Among the Learned Men
of the MikadO's Realm.
There is deal of literary activity in
Japan just at the present time, which,
however indicative possibly it may be
of better times to come, is now and of
itself far from commendable. says the
London Dial. The overwhelming pre-
dominance ofthe mere periodical is what
the writer especially complains of. A
native japanese regrets, among other
things, the incompetency of versifying
In the Chinese language, which is
spoken of as something common, the
degradation of literature by the COM
mercial spirit, the excessive prevalence
of fiction, the cocksureness of imDor-
tant airs taken on them by the class of
youthful critics that has sprung up.
He says of the latter: ''With no ade-
quate knowledge of English, men COM
pose treatises on the comparative
merits of English poets, and raw Ger
man students express a preference for
one German poet rather than another"
Work, nevertheless, of a much more
substantial form than as thus indicated
is happily under way. history of the
recent war with China, in charge of the
government, is in contemplation, which
it is expected will require five years and
$4,000 yen for its accomplishment. Be-
