has been remarkable. He is 3S years old,
out he looks younger, though his expe-

other mans hair gray. He is n psycholog-

homely, thin-faced, angular specimen OF
humanity Of the commonplace type. In
the slang of the street he would be called
lobster" Yet he induced at least five
women to marry him and has been in cor
respondence with score of others who
have expressed in their letters the warm
est affection for him. He kept three and
possibly four establishments in Chicago
at the same time. though he was only
getting $50 n month as night clerk for the
Union Stock Yards and Transit Com
pany. He fell heavily into debt. This
was the only matter that troubled him.
He had finally determined to get rid Of
all his wives by starting for Alaska on

BIG GAME OF BULLS.
In Two Months They Melted Profit
OF 5000. 900.

of 5000. 600.
Narratives of fabulous wealth taken
from Klondyke soil are 'eclipsed by st0fies
of recent nianipulations In the July wheat
market. For two months a bull clique of
New York, st. Louis and Chicago brokers
has been playing a fast and loose game
with the wheat shorts, demanding tribute
and creating fallacious hopes. George X.
French, brilliant young speculator, who
was sent to Chicago from New York To
guard the! earthworks of the clique. af-
firms unhesitdtingy the current state
Ipents that his hackers have divided not
less than 100000 net profit during the
last month. Thus it follows that the tacit
impression on Change that July wheat
was being manipulated is bolstered up by
facts. Joseph Letter, the Chicago dark
horse, is one of the men who have pock-'
eted part OF the big rake Off" Accord
ing to Mr.. French the combine with which
he figures controlled not less than 4,5OO,-
900 bushels of July wheat. An effort was
made by certain Chicago commission
merchants In June to run tight corner
in the wheat market at that time when
the visible supply revealed only 10000
bushels available wheat. The same firms
identified with this attempt, which did not
succeed, transferred their holdings to Sep
tember. The final day for fulfilling July
wheat contracts for delivery saw the
Gotham shorts desperately scrambling for
the clique's offerings. pushing the price
up cents within two hours and shower
ing $4O0, 900 worth of coin into the Golfers
Of the bull combine. The manipulators
again put their heads together, snatched
100000 bushels of wheat at ebb-tide
price and in three days sold out the line
at a profit of 100000.

The Union Jack.

The origin Of the word Jack" is un-
known. The meaning, as understood
to-day, is something shown" and In
this sense the application Of the word
is now limited to the Union flag. Some
have supposed it to be derived from
the jack or jacque, the tunic worn In
early time by men-at-arms, those Of
Englishmen being decorated with the
cross Of st. George; which jackets,
when not in use, were hung in rows,
side by side, thus displaying the blood
red cross, which was at once their ban
ner and their shield. Others regard the
name as coming from that Of the sover-
eign James Gacobus or Jacques), who
was the first to hoist 1t as a national
emblem.

Cheering Commercial Outlook.
II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: -Four years ago failures In
July amounted to over $60,0O0,OOO, while
In last month failures have been only
$7,117,727. the smallest in any month
since 1892. The statement of failures by
classes Of business for July and for forty
six months shows that in manufacturing
failures have been smaller than in any
other month except one, and in many
branches Of each department smaller than
I'm most months of which records exist
Last month was the first for four years
of which the volume Of business reported
by clearing houses was larger than in the
same month of 1902, and the telegraphic
dispatches from all parts of the country
given this week show gratifying inn
provement. This is partly due TO large
yield of wheat and good prices, though
the crop is probably not as large nor are
prices thus far as high as in 1872, but OF
cotton the price is higher, and the yield
probably larger, than in that year. Other
farm products are realizing good prices.
and the possible decrease in yield or corn
may help to market the enormous surplus
brought over from last year. 1t is the
wrong season to expect much from indus
tries, and yet there has been material in
crease in the number of hands employed
in the iron manufacture because OF the
satisfactory adjustment Of wages dispute;
while the coal miners strike seems each
day more likely to end in permanent set
tlement beneficial to both parties. Mean
while the demand for most finished pro-
ducts Is steadily increasing. Manufac-
turers are buying but little, though they
are rapidly increasing the output, and are
able to obtain an advance Of about 10 per
cent in prices of goods with rapidly in
creasing orders"

Labor Leader Says the Jackson In
Junction IL n Farce.
Eugene V. Debs, the social reformer,
says that he will talk when and where he
pleases, regardless of the injunction is
sued by Judge Jackson in West Virginia.
He declares ii is the most sweeping doc
ument ever promulgated and one which,
IL its principles were sustained, would ef-
fectually strike down all constitutional
rights. Concerning it he says:
The Injunction issued by Judge jackson
Is substantially the same as that issued by
Judge Mason. BY Its provisions ] am en-
which lead to the mines. and as all the
highways lead to the mines l am subject to
arrest the instant enter the State. This is
the most sweeping injunction ever Issued
by any court, and IL sustained. as 1t doubt
less will be. 1t effectually strikes down ~
constitutional rights and leaves us bound
and helpless at the feet Of the money
power
The courts Of this country have degener-
ated until they are now the conveniences OF
corporate capital. There are but few excep-
tlons and they but serve to prove the rule.
They are the oppressors of the people who.
support them. This fact is being gradually
pie are entirely opened there will be a
change. and the high priests Of the bench
will learn that judicial despotism will not
be tolerated on American soil.
AS for Jackson's Injunction, hold It In
sovereign contempt. II have occasion to.
speak In the Interest OF famishing miners In
his Jurisdiction will do so. or at least make
the attempt. totally regardless OF his In
famous Injunction. The farce of 1t Is that
the injunction pretends to be issued by a
Judge. II II came direct from the coal op-
erab tors some little respect would be due the
judge. Such inJunctions are Issued by the
creatures who owe their positions to organ
lied capital. and they obey the orders OF
their masters with the aacrlty of spaniels.
1t Is no wonder that Judge Lynch Is so often
In demand these days. People are losing all
confidence In the courts Let the Injunction
business proceed, and the time Is not distant
when the people will take the law into their
own hands and some Of the judges who
wear debauched ermfne will pay the penalty
of their apostasy to an outraged people.

1892 from rife shot fred by United

refused to admit liability in such cases,
and made the item read: "Relief OF sub

Petroleum of the Finest Quality File
an Immense Alaska Bastu.
While the whole world Is excited over
the gold discoveries in the north, sight
has been lost Of another discovery that
promises to be of great value in the de-
velopment of that section. Some months
ago lake was discovered and samples
were sent to Seattle for analysis. The
report on these has just been made public,
and the find is reported to be of most
marvellous richness. A company has been
formed in Seattle to handle the product,
and travellers from there say that the
company intends to put it on the Alaskan
market at once. The lake is Of unknown
depth, several miles in length, and the
quality Of the petroleum is said to be of
the finest. 1t is fed by springs, and the
hills surrounding it are said to be rich in
coal and asphalt. The lake Is only two
miles from the ocean, so that the difficult
ties of transportation are reduced to
minimum. 1t is the expectation Of the
owners of the lake to take it's product into
the mining camps Of Northern Alaska
wherever the waterways will permit.

whom the poem was dedicated by its
composer.
The incident, as often told by Mrs
Koehler to her friends, is full of'inter-
est. When she was 13 years Of age
she was sent to London, and there she
attended a school kept by n sister OF
the poet, who frequently visited the
school and became acquainted with the
pupils. Moore took decided liking to
her and would spend hours in convers-
ing with her. One day, as they were
sitting in the garden, she plucked a
rose and, placing 1t on the lapel OF
the poets waistcoat, exclaimed, "Oh
now have given you the last rose OF
summer" And, as the story runs, this
very rose was in fact the last rose left
blooming in the garden.
"My child" said the poet, you have
made beautiful suggestion, and when
/ have written some verses on 1t they
shall be dedicated to YOU"
A short time after, Moore wrote the
famous lines which follow, and dedi
Gated them to her:
lis the last rose or summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her bushes
Or give sigh for sigh.
IN not leave thee, thou lone one,
TO pine on the stem:
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly scatter
Thy leaves DER thy bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may follow,
When friendships decay,
And from loves shining circle
The gems drop away;
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown,
Oh, who would inhabit
This bleak world alone!
