STOCK EXCHANGES.

That stock exchanges are simply roulette and faro tables in fact is well recognized by everybody. The differ ence lies in the widespread damage they inflict upon the producer and con- sumner of the country. They should be abolished by law. Failing in this the people should keep up such com bined agitation against them that their disreputable character would of it. self serve to close them.
 The Boston Post very mildly puts the point as follows:
 ''Ihs Chicago stock exchange still remains closed ito business. It has not been opened since the collapse of the great Moore speculation more than a month ago. No one in Chicago or anywhere else is suffering in conse-

The thre new battleships which have been ordered will add very ma terially to the strength of the navy. It will require several years to com plete them, but it is to be hoped that in that time there will be no occasion for their use. It is doubtful if con- gross will authorize the construction of any more battleships soon. The drain upon the treasury is so great that congress will hesitate to appro- priate money for the construction of ships that may never be needed. Un- less free coinage is adopted there will be no revival dn business, and without such an improvement there will be little or no increase in the revenues.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
Naturalists Say They Can Fly as Fast as
 

Naturalists Say They Can Fly as Fast as
 Birds.
 It is q popular belief that the flight of birds is much swifter than that of in- sects; but a number of naturalists who have been making a study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 A common house fly, for example, is not very rapid in it's flight, but it's wings make 800 beats second, and send it through the air 25 feet, under ordinary circumstances, in that space of time. When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it can increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feet per second. If it could continue such rapid flight for a mile in a straight line it would cover that distance in exactly 33 seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing, when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying to get in at one of the windows.
 A swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no insect could escape it. X naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between swal- low and a dragon fly, which is among the swiftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed, and wheeled and dodged with such ease that the swallow, despite it's utmost efforts completely failed to overtake and capture it.-Phila- delphia Record.

Manufacturers of other sarsapardllas sought by every means to obtain . showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It Is here on It's merite."

Nature Paints of Negroe..

A writer in Progress Artistique, in discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child-people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with heeting association with for eigners, results in species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, a developed monkey music.

 The White Feather.
 The story runs that, during war be- tween the backwoods settlers of North America and the natives, a Quaker feasted the enemy and placed white feather over the door of his house as a sign of amity. The token was re- spected. Hence the phrase: Showing the white feather. which has come to mean cowardice.

It is expected there will be an attempt made to endorse the St Louis financial platform and the delegation from Maricopa, Pima and Yuma are believed to ibe solid for it. Should they adopt a gold platform it will be adding insult to injury and the schemers will be- showed under by an overwhelming defeat

TRYING ITO HEDGE.

TIinalt the present leaders of the Re- pubHeans realize the mistake that has been made by declaring for the single gold standard at St. Louis is evident, and. even at this late day an attempt will be made to hedge.
 Hanna has read the handwriting on the wall, and thatShe is fully aware of the condition which confronts his can- didate for president, is evidenced by the latest move of his National com paittee, which came to light quite re- gently. The Mckinley and Hobart Business Mems league of Philadelphia Is an adjunct, audsa valuable one, too. to the National committee in New York. It was organized about six weeks ago, and is composed princl- pally of men who have become million aires or enormously wealthy through the fostering of high tariff. such as has been cham pioned by Mckinley This organization has tried to orga hize branch leagues in all the larger cities of the country, and a large amount of money has been raised for carrying on the work.
 To this committee has been entrust-. ed by Hanna the work of secretly mo- tifying those Republicans who have threatened to vote for Bryan eElat if they will remain firm and steadfast to Republican principles this year, four years from now no objection will be made to a general adoption by the Republi- can National convention of sweeping free silver platform.
 Already emissaries have been sent out to those states where the Repub> tcan apathy for the single gold stand ard is strongest. Ohio is one of these states where this promise of Hanna is expected to dos the most good. The southwest will be thoroughly can vassed. Texas is a sstate where good results are expected. according to claims. 'is st
 
 Thus it will be seen that Hanna and Mckinley fully understand that free silver is bound to prevail and the en- tire effort of the gold men will be to postpone it's coming for four years But if it is good in four years, why not now?
 The Arizona machine will doubt less again change front and promise that the next convention vii. declare for silver.

 Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter rapin in large numbers has yet been de- vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.

quence; and the question arises, why is this not a good example for the managers of stock exchanges elsewhere to follow?
 "It is altogether a fiction that stock exchanges are necessity for the con- duct of business in these days. For some classes of business the stock ex- change is a convenience, but nothing more; while as regards promotion of general business the stock exchange is a detriment. The legitimate com mercial service rendered is small in deed, while as disturbing element it is a nuisance.
 "The Chicago stock exchange was a very poor sort of an exchange, to be sure; it was used mainly as place to bet on securities in which local in- terest only was felt. It was kind of provincial gambling house. But did it differ from other stock exchanges in this respect, except in degree?
 "H all the stock exchanges in the country were to follow the example of that in Chicago and close their doors indefinitely, it is safe to say that no more suffering would be entailed upon the public than Chicago has been called upon to endure in this case"

 Ayers Sarsaparilla is not secret preparation. Any physician may have the formula on application. The se- cret as a medicine lies in its extraordi- nary power to cleanse the blood of inn purities and cure the most deep seated cases of blood disease.

 A frequent cause Of kidney com plaints is long continued costivenees, by which the bowels grow torpid, closing the main avenue of excretion The kidneys, called upon for double service, quickly become diseased, for they are very delicate organs. These are conditions which, if neglected, may rapidly become fatal There is sound sense in the old injunction, keep the head cold, the feet warm, and the bowels open, the most im- portant being the last And remem- Der that simply opening them is not enough; any violent purgative, even diarrhoea, will do that.

of the Bandits Probably Fatally
Shot.

HAZELTON (Pa.) April 24.-An ex-
citing shooting affray occurred at White
Haven this morning, when a posse of
citizens attacked band of robbers who
were fleeing from Mauch Chunk.
Shortly after midnight five men
gained an entrance to the East Mauch
Chunk Postoffice. They blew open the
safe with dynamite. The noise aroused
citizens, and the robbers were chased
before they secured any plunder, and
they boarded a Jersey Central freight
train.
Chief of Police Transnue of White
Haven was notified, and collecting
posse, he tagged the train. The rob-
bers were discovered in one of the cars,
and answered the summons to surrender
with their revolvers.
One of the robbers dashed from the
door, and was mistaken by companion
for an officer and was shot in the hip.
He tumbled out on the track, followed
by another man, who was struck by q
deputy with his gun. The fellow ran,
and was shot. He went over the en-
bankment and disappeared in the river,
and it is believed was drowned
Another member of the gang was cap
tured by another deputy, and the others
escaped during the excitement.
The two men in custody to-day re-
fused to give their names or say where
they came from. No papers were found
on them, but a quantity of dynamite,
fuse caps and revoIvers were taken
