Cleveland's M1nstrels.
No one who enjoys fine singing and
excellent music should fail to visit the
big iron pier, in Atlantic City, and see
the great minstrel troupe of W. S.
Cleveland. There is none better in the
country, and the performance from start
to finish is first-class one in every
respect. The new songs, the orchestral
accompaniments, the variety and the
Japanese performers make lengthy
program, but it is good all the way
through, and everybody who goes gets
the full worth of their money. Many
people hesitate about attending minstrel
performances for fear of hearing some
thing offensive; but Cleveland's show Is
free from this objection. There is plenty
of clean fun without vulgarity, and
never word to offend the most fastid-
ious modesty. Go and see these un-
rivalled exponents of modern minstrelsy.
They will make you laugh and you will
feel all the better for it.

This is the record of one more unfor-
tunate firm that has been Commanded
by free wool. How many more are to
TALL, and how many more toilers are to
be thrown out of employment as the re-
suits of the democratic policy of break
ing down our wall of protection for the
American workingmen. their wives and
children, that was built up by the pro-
tective policy of the republican party,
time alone can tell.
Never yet since the workingmen in
1892 placed the democratic party in full
control of the government has the de-
preston in business been so great.
In Washington, Baltimore. Philadel-
phia and Newark there is a startling lack
of business. The capital invested in the
various industries is extended to such a
degree as to reach even the bounds of
prudence. The baneful effects of the
Gorman tariff have not vet been ex-
hausted. The workirgmen of America
have not yet received the full measure
of punishment for trusting and believ-
Ing in democratic demagogues who in
huenced them against their employers
by appealing to their passions and
prejudices.

If there Is anything fisherman likes
TO do IL is TO get n mess of fish where
others have failed TO get n bite, and no
stories are more frequently told than
those of big baskets filled Mt lakes or
ponds known to he alive with fish, but in
which the fish were never before known

fish can be seen but not taken. In some
lakes fish mny be taken In the spring
only, or in midsummer, giving rise TO
the belief that they do not feed Mt other
times. In places where trolling spoons
alone are used, very often big catches
are made with flies of bass and pickerel,
