No Step Backward. Says Dun.

will say:
There is no step backward in bust
ness, although the season of nidsum-

tinUes gradually, and prudently eau
tious as before.
Business men of the highest stand
ing in all parts of the country having
gradually perceived that the tide has
begun to rise. are regulating their con-
tracts and investments and their plans
for the future with a confidence quite
unknown to them a short time ago.
Great changes before the adjournment
of congress are hardly to be expected,
but removal of uncertainty is with
reason expected to bring into opera
ton buying forces which have been re-
stricted for months The main factor
at this time is the steadily Frightening
prospect for crops.
While mills are somewhat better en-
ployed and are buying to some extent,
most OF the purchases of wool are for
speculation. nearly three-quarters be-

NEGRO HANGED.
Preacher Who Testified Falsely Given
Whipping.

Crystal Springs. Miss, June 25.-The
negro John Moses, who killed an old
man named Strong near this place a
few days ago. and who has been con-
fined in the local Jail with strong
guard since yesterday, confessed to the
murder this morning, and shortly af-
ter the guard was 0verpowered by a
mob of 200 or 300 men, mostly farmers.
Moses was taken from the Jail and with
a rope around his neck was dragged
through the streets to tree near the
railway and hanged. He was dead, or
nearly so, when they reached the place
of hanging
Two requests for troops to protect
the prisoner had been wired to jack
son, but owing 10 the absence of both
the governor and lieutenant governor
from the capitol the troops could not
be moved until this morning, when it
was too late.
After hanging Moses to the tree some
of the mob made a motion TO shoot
him. The leader declared it should not
be done as justice had triumphed and
that was all they wanted.
The mob then hunted up the negro
preacher who had sworn that the
murderer had spent the day on which
Strong was killed at his house, and he
knew Moses was not the guilty person,
and gave him an unmerciful whipping
for false swearing.

WANTS TO KNOW.
Editor Wilkes-Barre Leader.

Dear Sir-Since landing in this country
about eight years ago l have been ex-
tremely and intensely interested in what
you Americans denominate the national
game, viz. base ball. l have never at
tended game since arriving here, conse-
quently my knowledge of the game is de-
rived solely from what l have CLEANED
from your enterprising journals. Or, in
other words, 1 might say that my knowl-
edge of your national game exists eX-
clusively in the abstract. l read the other
morning in one of your papers where a
player yclept Bassett was in for a
couple of strikes, but ping! and a safe
slap for Oddie's swift just gave Dixon
occasion TO escape in from second, and
that Coogan popped for an arch
and Jack Mcmahon shook the pepper for
this kernel and the side changed"
Whether or not this means that Bassett
hit the ball in the e Pluribus Erin and
Dixon took advantage of the Unum Go
Bragh when Oddie perforated the thorax
of the ball and disentergrated its vermi-
form appendix by producing syncope
around the coast of its cerebrum, know
not, and l ask you as a humane man
and as one whose virtue yet remains un-
impaired to explain.
l ask you again, my friend: when Coog-
an popped for an arch did they make him
a grave where the sunbeams rest, or was
he in a moribund, passive, qulescent
state, or was he violently active? Was
there a crater to the volcano after the
eruption? When Jack Mcmahon shook
the pepper for the kernel did the pepper
or the kernel respond first? Where was
the ball at the time and were the players
still playing? When Lyons was a back
slider under Diggins to a successful
point" were the base ball players still
playing? Has the base ball reporters S
epitaph yet been written?
Yours respectfully,
Miles McAndrew,

young men anxious to earn money with

niggardly as to refuse to pay more than

KIoudike Bouanzas.

The New York papers have for some
time past been teeming with adVer-
tisements Of VARIOUS Yukon gold COM
panies representing required capital
reaching into the millions. The ad-
vertisements are written in manner
intended to captivate the capitalist of
every degree and stock in most of the
companies is offered at dollar
share. .,-
1t is probable that the flaming adver-
tisements which appeared in the New
York Sunday papers two days ago Will
cause thousands of dollars to pour into
the cash boxes of the various Klondike
syndicates that have recently been
born in the vicinity of Wall street, as
no sum, however SMALL will be refused.
When n capitalist loans money at
home he usually wants first mortgage;
judgment notes; insurance policies
and quit claim deeds from prospective
heirs as security. but if attracted by the
features of a far away mining scheme
he is willing to cheerfully part with
good money with nothing in return
save a stock certificate which in many
instances possesses value only accord
ing to the quality of the paper upon
which it is printed.
1t is possible that the purchasers
of klondike mining stock, that is is
sued from any locality save Klondike,
may receive large dividends from the
investment. The experience of stock
buyers of the past, however, tends to
cast shadow, uponHthe. rosy dreams of
the specuator. An exchange remarked
recently, in giving advice to ambitious
residents who were anxious to seek
fortunes in Alaska, that the distance
between Scranton and Klondike is
twice 'aS ID 81 ,rfs'ths ,rsturn trip" This
may be appfisa capital that is invest
ed in Klondike' stocks. Parties with
money to invest will do well to hesi-
tate before they pour it into the treas
ury of any western land or mining in
stitution. If they will take the trouble
to look. about them in these days of
prosperity apdHgsneral business reviv-
al they WIFI see that the best Klondike
to invest money in is right here in
Scranton. .,..

SPAIN is BANKRUPT.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
1t has been denied that Secretary Sher-
man made the remark attributed to him
about Spain's desperate financial situa-
tion, but If he made 1t he spoke the truth.
An official statement has been made by
the Madrid government, showing that
Spain's total debt is 81, 765, 900, 0O0 that the
annual interest charge is $40, 000,0 900, that
to this must be added accumulated in
terest amounting to $l9,O 900 on obliga-
tions incurred in the Cuban war, and that
the total Spanish revenue is $3.50 OOO. 900.
This revenue is liable to be diminished
at any time, but even If it be maintained
at Sl5O,OOO,OOO IT is barely sufficient to
pay annual interest charges and the ex-
pense of carrying on the war in Cuba,
thus leaving nothing for the ordinary
cost of running the Spanish government.
This public confession of bankruptcy
clearly shows Spain's hopeless financial
lie sentiment at home for an abandon
ment of the struggle in Cuba?
