applicants, who overflowed into the
smaller houses. Judging by the APP
parent disposition of everybody to have
the best in sight, there was no lack
Of the needful resources for having a
good time. The money spent, how
ever extravag1ntly, will find its way
into the channels of trade and the
homes of the poor, and therefore need
not be begrudged as an exhibition OF
the American habit of dissipating cash.
A very lively theatrical season has
set in. Some of the more popular
houses have been turning away hun
dreds from their doors nightly. One
Of the novelties of the season is a
purely religious play, entitled The
Sign Of the Cross" 1t was first pro-
duced in London by Wilson Barrett,
and deals with the subject of the per-
secution of the early Christians. It is
finely acted, although some of the situ-
ations are decidedly gruesome. Nero
is one of the characters, and there is
in one scene the torturing of the boy
"Stephanus," which is unnecessarily
realistic and narrowing. Nevertheless;
the critics have voted the play sue
cess, and il may be a step in the di-
rection of a nobler and more serious
use of the drama.
Nor have the pleasure-seekers all
their own way at the present time.
Evangelist Dwight L. Moody, aided by
Ira A. Sankey, the singer, is conduct
ing a very interesting series of revival
services at the Cooper Union hall. The
object is to stir up a public sentiment
that will lead to a general revival OF
religion, and the distinguished eXhorter
has the sympathy of the evangelical
churches Of the city generally.
One of tho latest fashionable fads is
for dogs clothes. It is imported from
Paris. If you would be real ultra on
fashion, you must not only own a dog,
but must give it nearly as much at
tention in the way Of dress as you do
yourself. The right idea Is thought to
be in a costume for :he dog TO match
that of the mistress, the cloth and
trimmings being the same. Then the
pet dog is to play a rather more prom
inent part than usual in social mat
ters. There are dog weddings, recep-
tions, and divers colOred teas, requir-
ing special garments for each occasion,
and there are morning walks and after
noon drives and evening parties, each
demanding a different suit. Most any
of the fashionable tailors are now pre-
pared to design fashionable dog suits
upon demand.

THEY REDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure For Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
RidicnIe, However, is Not Argument
aud Facts are Stubborn Facts.

Stomach troubles are so common and
In many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming TO be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia aud indi-
gestion. Many such pride them selves on
their aouteness in nevor being hum
bugged, especially on medicines.
This fear uf being humbugged may be
carried too far; SO far, in fact. that many
persons suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk little time and
money In faithfully testing the claims Of
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now 5tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines, for
the reason that they are not secret
patent medicine, no secret is made Of
their ingredients, but analysis show 8
them TO contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aspetic pepsin, the d.
Restive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth,
hydrastis and nux. They are not
oathartic, neither do they act powerfully
on any organ, but they cure indigestion
on the common sense plan Of digesting
the food eaten thoroughly before IL has
umo. w ltTmenbj SOUR anu cause tnO mis-
chief. This Is the only secret of their
success.
Cathattio pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach troubles
because they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas, the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
m eals, digest the food. That Is all there
is TO 1t. Food not digested or half d.
gested is poison it creates gas, acidity,
headaches, palpitation Of the heart loss
of flesh and appetite and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 30 cents per package. Address Stuart

stomach diseases, sent free.

Electricity in Japan.

There are at present Sc ,eral distin.
guished Japanese visitors in this coun.
try examining into the methods of our
electrical enterprises. Several of them
have a government commission to make
a careful study of telephony 1t is in
teresting, therefore, to note the an
nouncement that the imperial govern
ment of Japan is preparing estimates
of cost for the surveying, designing
and installation OF an extensive tele.
phone system that will connect every
portion of the island with metallic SER
vice. The long-distance lines will ag-
gregate $4,000 miles in length, and forty
main offices and 1870 public stations will
be established capable of handling
20, 900 subscribers.
Telephone exchanges are already in
operation at Yokohama, Toxic, Osaka
and Kobe, while next month an ex-
change will be opened at Kioto. The
system will embody both land and sub
marine construction.

The New Exchange Court.

reasons are many, but principally the
cause of better times is that the capi-
talists Of this country and Europe have
attained their object in defeating the
demand for a restoration Of free COIN
age Of silver, and are now confident
that investments in this country on a
gold basis will be safe and profitable.
Besides this, the markets generally are
depleted, the deadwood of business dis
Aster has been largely cleared away,
and crop failure in Europe and India
has created a demand for our bread
stuffs which already has made us many
millions richer, and will continue 10
do so for some time.
Real estate men, in particular, pre-
dict an era of great activity. Building
Is now very lively, and the only thing
10 regret is that the rage for big sky
scrapers seems to increase. The 81
story structure that has been started
on Park Row was thought by many to
cap the climax, but the latest PROPOSE
ton is for a S9-story structure on
Broadway. 1t Is certainly time the law
stepped in to put stop to this modern
tower-of-Babel architecture. I do not
Join in the opinion of many that these
big buildings are liable to become un-
safe, but they are architectural abOmi-
nations, with no motive for their exist
enCe save unbridled greed, and they
will in time, if not checked, become a
serious danger to health through their
shutting out light and air.
Mr.. William Waldorf Astor, who is
supposed to have unlimited money, is
TO be congratulated upon the good taste
which has led him to put limit to the
number Of stories Of the new building
he is to have erected on the corner Of
Exchange Place and Broadway, run
ming down to New street. The tempta-
ton to rival some of the biggest of the
new buildings must have been great,
but it has been successfully resisted.
Yet this new structure will be big
enough for any town. 1t will front 1876
feet on Exchange Place and 124 feet on
Broadway. The building it is to re-
place is known as Exchange Court, and
the property was originally bought by
the father OF the present owner for
$1,000,000. The site alone is now prob
ably worth three times that amount.
Tho new structure will cost about ST.
100000 and will be architecturally very
handsome. 1t will be of steel construc-
ture. with terra Gotta exterior. and the
interior will be elaborately finished in
marble and mosaic.

The horse show this fall, contrary to
expectation, has 1een a pronounced
success. Evidently the bicycle has not
yet replaced the old-time equine friend
of man in popular estimation. / am
even disposed to think that the bicycle
may in the end prove to be the friend
rather than the enemy of the horse
1t certainly has created greater love
of physical culture, and so long as
physical beauty Is worshipped man
cannot well spare the noblest and most
graceful of all the lower animals 1t
also seems probable that the bicycle Is
forcing the horse-breeders to extreme
efforts to improve the beauty nd speed
of their stock, and this will result in
real improvement OF the modern
horse.
Be that as II may, the horse snow
was a success, and 1t was successful
because speed and condition were
rated higher than heretofore in such
exhibitions. And the display OF beauty
and fashion was not inferior this year
% previous years. Madison Square
Garden certainly never looked more
brilliant than it did this week. The
norse show really marks the opening
Of the social season, and judging from
the attendance the "bonton" OF New
York is just now feeling very clipper,
and we are likely to have very lively
winter OF II. Every popular hotel was
crowded with guests during the week.

An incident in the life of the late ex-
Mayor Howland may not inappropri-
ately be given just now, inasmu as a
memorial to his memory has been
erected. Mr.. Howland called one day
on a poor sick woman, and, as usual,
read a portion OF Scripture and offered
prayer. On leaving he named a pass
age of Scripture which he thought
would give comfort. The husband Of
the sick woman was incensed that Mr..
Rowland should lave left no more SUBJ
stantial evidence 0f sympathy and gave
expression to his anger in vigorous
language. After a little the Bible was
opened again and $40 bill found. The
angry man went at once to Mr.. How
land and offered his humble apologies
and at the funeral of his benefactor
there was not more sincere mourner
than the one who had failed to under
stand that there is more than one way
OF bestowing charity,-Toronto (On-

"Then turn round and look at Chi
cago. You might be on central peak
of the high Alps. AL about you they
rise. the mountains of building-not in
the broken line of New York. but thick
together, side by side, one behind the
other. From This height the fiat roofs
of the ordinary buildings of four or
five stories are not distinguishable from
the ground; planting their feet on these
rise the serried ranks of the heaven
scaling peaks. You are almost sur
prised to see no snow on them; the
steam that gushes perpetually from
their chimneys and floats and curls
away on the lake breeze might well be
clouds with the submits rising above
them to the sun. Height on height
they stretch away on every side till
they are lost in a cloud of murky smoke
inland.
But there is another side to Chi
cago. There is the back side to her
$500, 900 of trade, her II, 900 ves-
sells, and her network of 10000 miles of
rail. Away from the towering offices,
lying off from the smiling parks, is a
vast wilderness of shabby houses-a
larger and more desolate Whitechapel
did dreariness IN the whole world.
This is the home Of labor, and of moth
ing else. The evenings vacancy brings
relief from toll, the mornings toll re-
lief from vacancy. Little shops COM
pete frantiCally for what poor trade
there is with tawdry advertisements.
Street stretches beyond street of little
houses, mostly wooden, begrimed with
SCOT, rotting, falling to pieces.
"The truth is that nobody in this
rushing, struggling tumult has any
time to look after what we have long
ago come to think the bare decencies OF
civilization. This man Is in hurry to
work up his tallow, that man to ship
his grain. Everybody is fighting to be
rich. is then straining to be refined,
and nobody can attend to making the
city fit to live in. l have remarked
several times before that America is
everywhere still unfinished, and, un-
less the character of the people modi-
fes itself with time, l do not believe II
ever will be. They go halfway to build
uD civilization in the desert, and then
they are satisfied and go forward to
half civilize some place farther on. 1t
Is not that they are incapable of thor
oughness. but that in certain things
they do not feel the need of it. In Chi
cago there is added to this what looks
like q fundamental incapacity for gov
ernment A little public interest and
a small public rate would put every
thing right; both are wanting. Wealth
every man will struggle for, and even
elegance; good government is the busi-
ness of nobody"
This. and much more like it, gives
the Englishman's impression of our
big, hustling town.

Some interesting developments are
observed in the culture Of the chrysan-
themum. For instance, the results
from the same seed pod are often un-
certain, frequently resulting in two
entirely different colors.
The use OF this Japanese flower for
decorative purposes has increased
enormously within the last two or
three years, and the demand is con-
stantly increasing. 1t is employed for

One of the latest and freshest things
about Chicago is from the pen of the
correspondent of the London Daily
Mail, who was recently on a pisit here
to study the election probabilities. He
says:

of the world! Not il had a hundred
tongues, every one shouting a different
language in different key, could / do
justice to her splendid chaos.

of parks and slums; where the keen air
from lake and prairie is ever in the

one hand the corn and cattle of the
West and distrib es with the other the
merchandise OF the East; widely and

walk at night, where women ride strad-
dlewise. and millionaires dine at mid
day on the Sabbath; the chosen seat OF
public spirit and municipal Doodle, of
cutthroat commerce and munificent
patronage of art; the most American
of American citiea, and yet the most
mongrel; the second American city OF
the globe, the fifth German city, the
third Swedish, the second Polish, the
