Among the superstitions of the Sen
eca Indians was one most beautiful
one. When young maiden died
they imprisoned q young bird until il
began to try its POWERS of song; and
then loading it with caresses and
messages, they loosed it's bonds over
her grave, in the belief that il would
not fold its wings or close its eyes un-
til it had flown to the spirit land and
delivered its precious burden of affec-
tion to the loved and lost one.--St.
Nicholas.

THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

The Present Need = Startling Statistics
Presented by the Enemies of Alcohol
What the Census Of 1890 Shows
Use of Alcohol Spreads Among Women.
Have you heard in the crowded city
The orphan children cry
Has your heart been touched with pity
At the sound Of The Widows sigh,
Have you seen by the face OF mother
The grief that Is hid within,
Or sister weep for brother
Astray in the ways OF sln2
oh, then let your soul awaken
To the needs OF the present hour,
Let the wall OF the ones forsaken
Inspirt and give you power
Remembering lives 50 wasted
And held in the DEVILS thrall,
To put from your lips untasted
The drink that's the cause Of all,

Much sweeter Than sugar.

The newly discovered chemical sub
stance, sugarine, or benzoil-sulhnid ,
is likely to have an important influence
upon commerce in several directions.
Unlike saccharine, which never be-
came very popular, sugarine contains
none of the obnoxious para acid. II
is chemically pure substance, 6OC
times as sweet as sugar, and yet OBJ
tainable at one-twelfth the cost.

Remain Away.

If you have taken the total abstinence
pledge you should not frequent places
wherein drink Is sold. No doubt YOU rely
on your strength Of will to keep you from
falling. But it Is better to remain away
from such places. We pray to God to
"lead us not into temptation and we are
commanded to avoid the occasions of evil.
Therefore, let us not think ourselves
stronger than we are

ARMOR PLATE.
The Big Companies Decline to Bid
Within the $500 Limit.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Secretary
Long to-day received replies from the
Carnegie and Bethlehem Companies to
his invitation to submit bids for sup
plying armor for the three battleships,
Illinois, Wisconsin and Alabama, in
accordance with the limitations placed
by Congress upon the price to be paid
for the armor. Both of the companies
decline formally to bid within the $500
limit, on the ground that it is not pos
sible for them to produce armor of the
quality they have been supplying the
Government at that figure.
The Carnegies make an offer, which it
is understood the Bethlehem concern
is willing to repeat, to supply the dag
onal armor for the three battleships at
a price to be fixed by the Navy De-
partment at it's pleasure. This offer is
made in order that the work on the
ships shall not be entirely stopped by
the failure to procure armor. The ship
builders, if this is DONE will be able to
go on with their work, until the ships
are afoat, inasmuch as the diagonal
armor, or that constituting the bulk
heads is all of the arnor that is built
into the ships structure The amount
of such armor will not exceed eighty
tons for each ship. A very small pro-
portion of the total supply required
but as it is regarded as essential, the
Secretary probably will accept the
tender

PUGILIsTIC CARNIVAL.
Prospect Of Two Taking Place in
Nevada This Fall

NEW YORK, July 23.-From &C
counts there will be two pugilistic car
nivals in the West this fall. w. A.
Brady and Dan Stuart are both figur-
ing hard on the project, but instead Of
being partners in one big scheme. as
many had supposed it now looks as if
they will try to rival each other. This
will furnish some tall bids for the prin-
eipal matches, but Brady is thought to
them He is McCoy's- manager, and
because of that it is believed he will
get the Mccoy Creedon fight.
The Maher-Sharkey contest, however,
he is not so sure Of Brady has offered
a S14 900 purse. but Buck Connolly of
the Maher contingent says no one has
claim on Makers services, and the
match will go to the highest bidder.
The characterization 'go," which
is looked upon as one of the attrac-
tions, will probably go where the big
gest purse is, while the fight between
George Dixon and Jack MCGOWAN of
Australia, which will be an interesting
affair, looks like a Brady match
Brady is very anxious to secure this
contest and will offer a big induce
ment. The carnivals, from present in
divations, will be held in Carson and
Reno in September and October.
1t is expected that the expenses Of
each carnival, which will last a week
at least, will be about $40, 0OO

TARIFF BILL DENOUNCED.
The Promoters Will Have a Reck.
oning With the People.

DETROIT, July 23.-The Evening
News" publishes an interview with
Governor Pingree, in which he de-
nounces the pending tariff bill. He
says the duty on hides means an av-
erage increase of % per cent a pair
on mems shoes. He asserts that Ar
NOR, Swift, Morris and Libbys control
the hide market, and will coin millions
out of it.
AS to sugar Governor Pingree said:
Il wish somebody would tell me how a
sugar duty, that makes people pay
more, is going to benefit them or how
a higher price for sugar is going to
bring prosperity. 1t seems to me that
the trust is going to reap all the bene-
fits. The lumber schedule hits the
people of moderate means the hardest.
1t increases the price 50 per thousand.
Not much lumber is used these days
in business blocks and fine city resi-
dences, and of course it is the farmer
and workingman who have to use lum-
Der, as they cannot afford brick and
stone. / don't recall that the Dingley
bill imposes any additional duty on
paintings or diamonds. 1t is the nee
essary commodities that bear the in
creased taxes. The promoters of this
bill ought to be proud of it, / pre-
dict reckoning for them yet with the
people"

SHARP DECLINE IN THE PRICE
OF WHEAT.
Barley Easier for Feed, but Choice
Brewing Firmly He1d-Fruit
Market Dragging.

San Francisco, July 23d.
Following yesterdays holiday at Chica-
go comes a sharp decline in Wheat. The
local market opened lower on call, and
subsequently, made slight gains, but did
not reach yesterdays figures. Spot Wheat
is not so active, values being too nigh
for shippers. Export business has been
fairly active this month. Barley is easier
for feed Choice brewing is firmly held
One full cargo cleared yesterday for Eu-
rope Options are off to-day.
Best Wheat Hay is higher. The market
continues firm. The remainder OF the
list is also in good shape, with an adj
yancing tendency all around.
Potatoes are steady. Onions are firm.
Peas Beans and Tomatoes are lower,
otherwise there are no changes NO great
activity noticeable in the market
The fruit market is still of dragging
nature Supplies are more than ample
for the demand. Too many Apricots here
Oranges are no longer worth quoting. The
few coming in have no sale. Lemons are
still scarce. and are wanted. No Long
worth Strawberries coming In at present.
There will be some in few days.
Market is stronger on fancy Butter;
other grades are unchanged. Eggs drag
and store are weaker.
Everything sells well excepting ducks
and poor broilers. Hens are firmer and
some bring Sc. These prices can be OBJ
tanned while Eastern is out of the mar
ket.
