will go on to worse destruction; TO con-

\ MISFIT CANDIDATE.

All of Dollar Mark Hanra's spectsc-
u.ar parapher1alia was turned loose on
me As.pless body Of split up Republi-
cans al 81. Louis yesterday afternoon
when .ae yelled candidate, the great
unknown. discovered by the Hanna
Presidential syndicate, to-wit, Major
Nun. OF Canton. o., was put in ncmi-
nation by the Hon. Joseph Benson For
2ker. OF the same Commonwealth.
Wen Mr.. Foraker can't spread the
American Eagle till the pinions
crack. it IS q remarkably cold Cay ard
It wasn't cold in st. Louis yesterday,
except in the headquarters Of the dele
cations of the several silver States, in
favori,e son localities, and in some
strong gold districts where they were
a trife, CT more, IN doubt about the
"soundness" of the famous straddler Of
Canton en- the money question.
1t was probably some enemy of Mr..
Hs-na. the manager Of the Mckinley
snow. who started the report that that
gentleman Of remarkable executive
ability had associated with him n this
enterprise the Kiralfys. The show was
very spectacular and artificial, but we
are firmly convinced that Mr.. Hanna
did it all, himself. 1t had all the Hanna
earmarks.
Even the Hon. Fire Alarm Foraker
was not given fair chance 10 launch
his oratorical fireworks en- the circum-
ambient atmosphere. No sooner had
he risen to do his duty than the Nc
kinney button was pressed and all the
vast machinery of Mckinley enthusi-
asm set in motion. 1t wouldn't all
work. but there was enough of it that
would with the aid of the able brass
band, to keep the air filed with McKin-
,ey noise for a sufficient time TO con-
vince the convention that it was over
whelmingly for the man who has hardly
yet discovered where he stands on the
main issue of the campaign.
The Ohio Napoleon was taken up by
his party as a tariff candidate. 1t has
since developed that the tariff will not
enter to any appreciate extent into the
discussion in this camp2in. On the
currency question Mckinley has had no
fixed ideas that anybody has been able
10 discover. He has spoken and voted
on all sides of that question, is credited
with the statement that he would not
veto a free co.rage bill If he were Pres
idert, and no one has yet been able to
get a direct answer from him as 10 his
position. Consequently on a flat-foot-
ed platform which declares in unequiv-
ocal terms for the single gold standard
Mckinley IS not as acceptable TO Wall
Street as he might be were the gold bugs
surer Of him, and is a decided misft,
considering the issue presented to the
people. No side can trust candidate
who has been so shifty, who has done
h.s best to shape his course according
TO what he believed to be the popular
notion Of the hour, regardless of prin-
ciple

the best we have seen is the new inn proved Globe Vapor lamp, which we have had the pleasure of testing. It gives brilliant white light; will stand the hardest knocks, and laughs at the wind and weather. It is light, beauti- full in shape and extremely simple.
 The manner of attachment is uniuue, no bracket being required, the lamp fastening directly to head tubing or forks quickly and securely. It is well made, finely nickel-plated and is as much better than the old style lamps that flood the market as daylight is over darkness. It possesses one fea- ture which every one will appreciate absolute cleanliness. If cleanliness is next to Godliness then the Globe lamp should be an idol to the bicycle rider. and it is. It is the original 'eVapor lamp" and contains patented features to be found in no other make.
 To add to the other good qualities the price has been reduced to $500. Trade supplied by Hubbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co.,, Chicago, who control output. of factory.

POKER WITH A KING.

How Robert Garrett Taught the Great
 American Game to Kalakaua.
 The newspaper biographies of the late Robert Garrett contained no men, ton of the fact that he once enjoyed the distinction of playing the great American game-not baseball, but po- ker, of course-with a real, live king. Some time in the year 1888 he deter mined to journey to Mexico in search of the health which he had lost in vex- atious financiering. The original pro- gram was altered after the trip had be- gun, and it was finally extended to the Sandwich Islands and thence to China and Japan. He was accompanied by his wife and sister and a number of other relatives and friends. Ii was during his visit to the Sandwich Is- lands that the incident referred to oc cured. Kalakaua was then upon the throne-the same Kalakaua who once visited Philadelphia.
 MT. Garrett's party had scarcely haen quartered in their hotel in Honolulu when the Royal Chamberlain of the Hawaiian monarch called upon than, and said that King Kalakaua. womb he pleased to have the gentlemen take dinner with him, but prior thereto begged them to witness a boat raca that day between a Hawaiian crew and one from an American man-of-war lv- ing in the harbor. The Royal Cham berlin escorted them to the kings sea palace. which was situated on a rock beyond the Pacifics angry breakers kalakaua greeted them most gracious ly- MT. Garrett was surprised to find the black king courteous gentleman, speaking English fluently, and remind ing him much of Chester A. Arthur.

Market for Securities FeverisI-B Business
 Very Light.

Market for securities FevertSh-B Business Very Light. New York, Aug. H.-The market for securities was feverish to-day, but business was on a light scale. Specu- lation was feverish throughout and un- der the control of professional opera tors who are still looking for lower prices.
 The street was well flooded with ru- mors of an unfavorable character, but investigation showed that the reports had no foundation in fact. Some of the reports were of a highly sensational character and undoubtedly had some- thing to do with the lower range of prices which prevailed during the af- ternoon session.
 The special feature of the trading was the heaviness of Western Union. The stock sold down 3 per cent, to 73ss and lacked support throughout The heaviness of Western Union offset the good effect of gold importations, and this with the selling for foreign account explains the downward ten- dency of the market
 Reports of rate cutting at the west assisted the shorts in their work of depressing prices. Railway earnings to hand for the second week of the current month generally showed de- ereases as compared with the previous year and were not without their in- fluence.
 Speculation left off weak in tone with
 
 days closing, Western Union leading. In the inactive list Pullman Palace de- clined to 140.
 Bonds were weak. Sales footed S510,000
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & WhiteIy, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York and 15 Center street, New Haven:
