Little by little these people are coming

WHAT A GOOD KNIFE COSTA
More Men Spend 90 for q Pocke
Knife than Less.

More Men Spend 90 for q Pocket
Knife than Less.
More men pay So and upwards for q
good pocket knife than less. That may
not be the experience Of all cutlery
dealers, but that's the kind Of trade we
cater to-" said q knife expert from be-
hind the counter Of q store on one Of
the most frequented of the downtown
streets. '"Spaniards spend the most
money for knives" he continued.
Spaniards who come here are very fas.
tldious In the matter Of cutlery, any
way. When an American family in the
same circumstances would be content
with ordinary plated ware, costing 81
or $3.50 a dozen, a Spaniard will have
nothing but the finest steel with ivory
handles, at SIS and over. The average
business man spends usually about So
for four-bladed knife. II he loses a
knife often, as many men do, he comes
down to 81, then to 81. Most expensive
knives are bought for presents. Four
dollars buys an excellent gift. Last sea-
son many knives were given for prizes
at euchre parties. Such knives are u.s.
ually fancy ones with half a dozen
blades or attachments. That big finch
knife there is q hunters knife. 1t costs
81.
"A man who buys that will take 1t to
The Adirondack and when he leaves
there will present 1t to his guide. We
have one customer who buys three Of
those knives every year. He gives them
to his guides, he says. We sell nearly
l5O Of them every year. This heavy one
here with q big steel hook is a horse
mans knife. 1t costs 81. The hook is
used for digging out a stone from the
horses hoof. It has, as you see, other
attachments, such as a corkscrew,
Screwdriver, nut cracker, awl, gimlet
and q score Of things for other useful
sr useless purposes, according to the
point Of view. We sell many Of them,
probably more than any other kind.
Sailors usually buy pretty good knives.
They and the Italians go in for big,
sharp knives that should be handy in
Ease of defense. Pretty nearly every
rade has a peculiar knife. That's one
'eason why a wellequipped cutlery
Ihop makes such formidable display. |
Knives cost all the way from 90 cents
% $25. We don't sell many at the latter
price. I sold one last week for SIS. L,

The larger an animal the more it
costs to maintain it. as a rule; hence it
will cost much more in proportion to
weight, to produce hog weighing 800
pounds than one weighing 100 pounds;
consequently there is a larger profit
per pound from the small hog than
from the large one, and the farmer can
keep more small hogs than he can of
large ones.
There should be regular hours for
feeding, not varying . minute, and
the animals will soon learn the proper
times and will come up to the barn
from the fields without being driven or
called.

to her. and she ran away with him. and

as the register. my father says, shows to
this day. Subsequently she went to Lon-
don and lived with him as his wife. He
cent a substantial sum of money to his
father-in-law, and an assurance that Kate
had been legally married, but that, for
family reasons, he could not acknowledge
his wife just then, but would later. Sub
teQuently he went to Russia He had
not been long in st. Petersburg when his
wife, Kate Grace, died; they said of
broken heart. 1t seems that my father
was the nohleman's intimate friend. From

Of dead Kate Grace's husband, and that

Opening the olympic Games.

Opening the Olympic Games.
The crown prince, taking his stand In
the arena. facing the king, then made
. short speech, In which he touched
upon the origin Of the enterprise, and
the obstacles surmounted in bringing II
to fruitiOn. Addressing the king. he
asked him to proclaim the opening of
the Olympic games. and the king. rls-
ing, declared them opened. 1t was
thrilling moment. Fifteen hundred and
two years before the Emperor Theodo-
sius had suppressed the Olympic
games, thinking, no doubt, that in abol-
iehing this hated survival Of paganism
be was furthering the cause OF progress;
and here was q Christian monarch,
amid the applause Of an assemblage
composed almost exclusively of Chris
tians. announcing the formal annul-
ment Of the imperial decree; while a
few feet away stood the archbishop Of
Athens, and Pere Didon, the celebrated
Dominican preacher, who, in his Easter
sermon in the Catholic cathedral the
day before, had paid an eloquent trib-
ute to pagan Greece. When the king
had resumed his seat, the Olympic ode,
written for the occasion by the Greek
composer Samara. was sung by a cho-
rus Of one hundred and fifty voices.

George III. and Despotism.

George III. had at last reached his
aim. In the early days Of the
ministry (Which began in that year, his
influence was felt to be predominant. In
its later and more disastrous days 1t
was supreme; for Lord North, who be-
came the head Of the ministry on Graf
tons retirement in Ito. was the mere
mouthpiece Of the King. "Not only did
he direct the minister" q careful OBJ
server tells us. "in all important mat
ters Of foreign and domestic policy, but
he Instructed him as to the manage
ment Of debates In Parliament, sug-
gested what motions should be made or
opposed, and how measures should be
carried.
He reserved for himself ali the pat
ronage, he arranged the whole cast of
the administration, settled the relative
place and pretensions Of ministers of
state, law officers and members of the
household, nominated and promoted the
English and Scotch Judges, appointed
and translated bishops and deans, and
dispensed other preferments in the
church. He disposed Of military gov
ernments, regiments and commissions,
and himself ordered the marching Of
troops. He gave and refused titles,
honors and pensions. All this immense
patronage was steadily used for the

his subsequent behavior.
Her escort had been one Of the guests

at her home and she went up to her room.

gardens. There was nothing in view to

EX-GOVERNOR MCKINLEY.
Spends rlost of the Day Answering
Letters and kilograms.

CANTON, July 13.-Ex- Governor Nc
Kinley spent a good deal of time to-day
answering letters and kilograms of con-
graduation. A party of business men
from jamestown, n. Y, called on him
this afternoon, and there were a large
number of other callers.
Hon. K. c. O. Whitmore of Utah had
a long talk with Major Mckinley He
has been trying to sell Utah bonds in the
East, and is going home to tell his free
silver neighbOrs that there will be no
market for their securities until the peo-
pie have declared in favor of honest
money at the polls. Mr.. Whitmore says
the free silver idea is strong in Utah,
but he thinks that with vigorous cam
paign of education will come a great
change in public sentiment
EX-Secretary Charles Foster spent
several hours with Major Mckinley to-
day. Mr.. Foster takes a hopeful view
of the situation, and predicts McKin-
ley's election by a very large majority.
He thinks, however, that the campaign
should be vigorous one, and like most
Republican politicians who come here,
believes the speaking campaign should
be borne by General Harrison, Senator
Foraker, Thomas 3. Reed and Stewart
bates with General Thomas Ewing in
this State during the fiat money craze

hundreds of his old friends, walked to
the new Virginia Hotel, where he held a
short reception to many personal
friends. He was "Will" and Billy to
a number of those who pressed forward
to greet him, and called by familiar
names by many of the residents. AL
though Mr.. Bryan had decided not to
talk at Odin, he was forced to, and con-
sented to make a few remarks.
Mr.. Bryan made a pleasant little ad-
dress without any politics in it. He did
not want them to expect a speech, he
said, because he had not yet been noti-
fed of his nomination. He had had an
inkling of it through the press, but he
thought it better to wait until the formal
notification came. Mr.. Bryan expressed
his happiness at being once more among
his old friends at Odin, in the county
where he had spent his boyhood days.
He did not know when he left there thir-
teen years ago that he would come back
as the representative of principle in
which all his auditors were interested.
He was deeply touched al the manifes-
tations of good win. He had no enc
mics here. he felt sure, and one of the
DIGdSdIlSSl tuiiSS " NM WdS tlitt III
Marin County he had not an enemy,
and never had.
Mr. Bryan then delivered some re-
marks on the power of circumstances.
1t was curious, he said, how they
marked out ones career. He had been
placed by circumstances as the STAN
dard bearer of the Democratic party.
The party wanted some one to carry out
the platform, and circumstances pointed
to him. If elected he was but to hold
the office of President for a little time,
then he would step down and out and
give all Difference to the man who would
succeed him. He never thought of our
office holding system. he said, without
thinking of our simplicity of Govern
ment. Every office-holder was merely
the creature of the peoples viii, and
whenever a change in the political. situ-
alton occurred he would leave his situa-
tion and another would take his place.
The American people, he said, knew no
divine right of kings. They were the
ones who directed the affairs of state,
and the safety of the nation was in the
common people of America, the greatest
country on earth.

CLEVELAND, July 13.-After nearly

man Hanna of the Republican National
Committee has named the Executive
Committee who will be his colaborers
and advisers in managing McKinley's
campaign. The list of Executive Com
mitteemen was furnished to the press
to-day. It contains the names of NJ. A.

Pennsylvania, Joseph H Manley of
Maine, H. c. Payne of Wisconsin, Cyrus
Leland of Kansas, Powell Clayton of
Arkansas, c. G.. Dawes of Illinois, w.
T. Durbin of Indiana and N. &. Scott of
West Virginia.
Il am now preparing for the fight"
said Mr.. Hanna to-day, with the air of a
man who is confident of winning a
prospective battle, for there is going to
be fight, and a hot one at that We
think that the Western and Southern
States are debatable ground and we
shall go into the contest with that idea.
The Dakotas should go Republican, Ne
braska should be Republican and the
same is true of Alabama and louisiana
L have not fully made up my mind as
to the conditions political of the people
of the border States, but think we have
fighting chance there. In the cam
paign there are more issues than the
tariff and the money questions, which
are of fully as much moment as the
other two, and which if anything con-
Germ the maintenance of our Govern
ment more than the two issues which
now hold the public mind. l refer par
ticularly to the stability of our judicial
system, which is threatened by the
Democratic party. In their platform is
a plank which contends that the present
system of selecting Judges of the Su-
preme Court be swept away. That
court should be surrounded with the
greatest protection in order to keep it
pure and untainted, and the selection of
Judges should not be settled by a sud-
den wave sudden excitement of the
people-hysteria of the masses, that is
a good expression. Frequently the peo-
pie are swayed by sentiments of momen-
tary duration. They are wrought up to
a high pitch and without giving the
matter second sober thought act On
the morrow they are sorry for their
course of action, but then it is too late.
The Supreme Court must be guarded,
as on its stability depends the sound
ness of our Government"
William Osborne of Boston is made
Secretary of the committee, and A. J.
Dick of this city Assistant Secretary.
The committee will meet here next
Wednesday.
