will redouble their energies to make

will IedoubIe their energies TO make
a conveyance that will fill this demand.
The horseless carriage which is to be
the conveyance of the future must be
sold at more reduced price than the
horselcss carriage of to-day costs.
When this time comes the advantages
of such mode of conveyance will be SO
many that the problem of traversinS
short distances will be satisfactorily
solved. Inasmuch as one of the great
est manufacturing firms of the highest
grade of bicycles the world over has
recently reduced the price of It's wheels
very materially, we look with encOur-
agement to this firm to be the one to
produce the best horseless carriage and
the lowest one in price, considering the
material used and the skilled workman
ship employed.
When the horseless carriage comes
down in price it will become lecessi-
ty. At present horse must DE kept
for bad weather by people who are I'M
able, through weakness or poor health,
to 60 about.
There are upward of 1000 horseless
carriages in use in Paris for public ser
vice, aud private citizens can muster
more than this number. Indeed, Euro
peans are much more familiar with
them than Americans are. The horse
less carriage is IN very common use in
Europe, although it is cumbersome and
unwieldy. The general opinion is that
since American genius has taken up the
matte" the hOrseless carriage will be-
come great success.
The horseless carriage has more ad-
yantages than appears at first sight.
or course there must be place to keep
it. The horse. the feed, the clearing up,
the constant breakage of harness and
the perpetual annoyance of feeling that
ones animals are not half cared for,
will give place to the ease and comfort
with which the hOrseless carriage can
be kept. 1t will not be difficult to learn
to manage these carriages, and when
repair shops become frequent, the prob
lem of getting about will be so simpli-
fed that everybody will wonder why
we never had such Il convenient vehicle
before.
An expert in mechanics is The author
1ty for the assertion that the horseless
carriage will run much more success
full and rapid career, everything consid-
cred than the bicycle.-New York

was burned yesterday. The burned ware
house contained 100000 bushels of wheat
and 1900 bushels of flax, of which
amount fully onethird is total loss, and
the remainder is damaged by smoke and
fire. The insurance on the grain amounts
to abount SOL 900, on the building to
$4,000, and on the machinery to $1,000.
The most conservative estimate places the
unrecoverable loss at $3l 900.

VOWED NOT TO SPEAK,
And Mt the End of Fifty Years When
She Tried She Gould Not.

And Mt the End of Fifty Years When
She Tried She Gould Not.
There is possibly no other woman in
the world like Miss Experience Gull
ford. of Bluehill, Me. 1t is proyerblal
that a womans tongue never stops,
but Miss Guilford'S case is an exception
10 this rule. and for half Il century she
has held her peace. Not one single
word or audible sound has this woman
allowed to pass her lips for period OF
fifty years.
The original reason for Miss Gull
ford's SDeechlesSneSS was anger be-
cause she could not marry the man Of
her choice. When she was 10 years old
she fell in love with William Simpson,
the village schoolmaster. They were
TO be married on June Is, 1917. One OF
Miss Guilford's rejected SuitOrs told
tales about the schoolmaSter. and Miss
Guilford's parents stopped the we'd
ding. Miss GuilfOrd thereupon said:
II swear | will not speak a word,
though | live for fifty years, unless |
marry this man"
She kept her pledge. Her parents
died. and she went to live with her
married brother. When he died she
madn her home with sister, and after
the sisters death she went to a camp
in the woods, and kept house for a
brother. with whom she is now living.
All this time she performed her share
of the household work, and did not
show any regret for having made the
vow. When the fifty years of silence
expired she was visited by a large num-
Der of relatives and friends, who went
TO the camp for the purpose Of being
present when she was at liberty to
sneak. Soon after the midday meal
Miss Guilford dressed herself in the
garments she had not worn for half a
century. At > o'clock she stood before
the people. smiled and opened her
mouth to speak; but though she tried
hard. and got red in the face in trying
she could not utter sound. Her vocal
muscles had become atrophied from
long disuse and refused to work.
When Miss Guilford found she could
not speak she sent to Bangor for ply
stefan and took to her bed The doctor
gave no hope of recovery, but suggest
ed that she be sent to Boston hos
pital for treatment. AS soon as Miss
Guilford gets strong enough to take the
journey she will make another effort to
regain her speech. Her father left her
good sum of money at his DEATH
which has been growing every year in
a savings bank, so that she is well able
to obtain the treatment she requires.

Spots on the Sun.

"The sun has great activity in spots
says Bayne's "Pith of Astronomy"
these being sometimes $4,000 miles In
diameter. These spots are enormous
vents for the tempests of fame that
sweep out of and down into the sun
An up-and-down rush has velocity of
about twenty miles a second, and n side
rush velocity of one hundred and
twenty miles second. These tempests
rage for days and months at time,
and as they cease the sides of the spots
fly together at the rate of 10000 miles
an hour. They strike together and
the rising spray of fire leaps thousands
Of miles into space. 1t falls again and
rolls over the Himalayas of fire as the
sea over the pebbles on its beach. If
strips as large as this earth were placed
in such a tempest they would be mere
corks as tossed by an ocean Storm

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY IN OHIO.
Continuous OvatiOns TO the Chiei
Snuistrnte on His Journey

Cincinnati. Oct. 3l.--President Mchn-
Low has had continuous ovations here yes
terday from the time of his arrival at
10. 40 a m. until after midnight, when the
hopouet Of the Commercial club was over.
Ue received ovations at Xenia and all
along the Little Miami valley, before
reaching this city.
When the presidential party left the
train at Terrence roads there was a null
titude of suburbanites there to greet him,
and the ovation continued en- route to
Walnut Hills. where Kirscheim, the
Schmidlap mansion, is located. Then fol-
lowed the ovations ell route into the city
at noon, the public receptions by the
chamber of commerce and the Young
Mems Business club in the afternoon.
The purpose of the presidential visit
was accomplished when the promise given
wear ago was fulfilled by the president
becoming the guest of the Cincinnati
Commercial club at their annual dinner.
The function was exclusive, though the
3s members of the club present were rein
forced by 50 guests, including eX-Attor-
new General Judson Harmon, Colonel My
ron I. Herrick, Mayor Tafe, M. f. Ingalls,,
J. Addison Porter Mr.. l.. G. Weir, presi-
dent of the Adams Express Company;
John w. H. Taft of the United States
court and Colonel NJ. H. Cochran of the
Sixth infantry, U. s. A.
In his speech President Mckinley said /;
Commerce is a teacher and a pacificator
1t gives mankind knowledge of one an
other. Reciprocity of trade promotes re-
ciprocity of friendship. Good trade in
sures good will The heart as well as the
mind contributes directly to the progress
of mankind, and whenever we secure JUS
tice and fair commercial relations with
other ma tons we are sure to have friendly
relations. Abating none of our interest
in the home market, let us move steadily
out to new fields and increase the demand
for our products in the foreign market. 1t
should be our settled purpose to open
trade wherever we can, making our ships
and our commerce messengers of peace
and amity. The consular service of the
government should be closely scrutnized
and carefully differed. and we should
have at every commercial port of the
world a sensible and practical American
who, while discharging his other duties
with honor to the government will not
omit in every way to promote American
exchanges and encourage reciprocal trade
Finally, if we are entering upon an era
of prosperity such as many believe, and
all fevently hope, remembering our re
cent panic and financial experiences, We
should strengthen the weak places in oul
financial system and remove it forever
from ambiguity and doubt"
