GROSvENOR A SOFT MARK.
Picked Out as Victim by Bunco
Man.

New York, July 2.-Congressman c..
H. Grosvenor of Athens, O., narrowly
escaped being buncoed today.
General GrOSvenOr came over from
Washington this morning and register
ed at the Fifth Avenue hotel, from
which hotel he was soon sending out
interviews. The bunk man sent his
card to GrosVenor. On it was inScrib-
ed m. Montmorency Bell, of Ohio.''
''I never heard of him. said the gen.
eral to the bell boy, ''but I'll see him.
A little man, with a shifting, uncer-
tain look from his eyes, came up and
shook hands effusively. The congress-
man, through his gold-rimmed spec
tacles, gazed at Montmorency curious
ly.
ST am from the southern part of
Ohio, general" began Bell. Probably
you do not remember me. Don't you
remember I met you with Ex-Governor
Charles Foster, and what a jolly time
we had"
Grosvenor could not recall the jolly
time, and remarked dryly: Being
with Charley Foster does not make me
recognize you"
Bell became vo1uble. Just then the
house detective whispered into Gros-
ers." Grosvenor looked wise. Mont
morency endeavored to get the con-
gresham to go riding in Central park
but the Ohioan declared he was too
busy. Finally Montmorency wound
himself up and departed hastily
through the front door. General Gros-
venor to a friend then tipped it off that
this was not the first time he had been
taken for a sucker"

1000 MILL MEN IDLE.
Over Production Causes a Shutdown
of the Massachusetts MiMs.

Lowell, Mass, July 2.-The Massa-
chusetts mills have closed. Mr.. South
worth, the agent, says that this is the
first shutdown the mill has had since
1885, and it was necessary now in con-
sequence of the low price at which
goods are selling and the lack of de-
mand. The company has weekly
pay roll of about $13,500 and employs
about 1900 hands, although the num-
ber f1uctuates.
The condition of the cotton manufac-
turing business is well illustrated by
the amount of the dividends paid
on July l. The Boot has been obliged
to pass it's semi-annual dividend and
the fremont, which since its increase
of capital has paid a dividend of 4 per
cent, was obliged to cut it's rate down
to 3 per cent on July 1.
One of the employees of the Massa-
ckusetts mills says that anybody that
has kept the run of things for the past
few months must have been convinced
that a shutdown was inevitable unless
relief came speedily, as there has been
an overproduction for some time past
AS a general thing the operatives know
very little about the market demand
for goods. They seem to think that a
company can go on indefinitely piling
up goods, as all that is necessary to
keep things moving is to manufacture
the goods, whether, there Is any sale
for them or not.

ADVERTISING.

Oscar Herzberg, in July Lippincotts.)
The necessity for advertising, which, re-
duced to it's simplest terms, means max
ing a business announcement, was pres
ent from the earliest times. Pompeii and
Herculaneum had their advertisements
painted on the houses, a form of publicity
somewhat similar to our street sign.
which is really the most primitive kind of
announcement, since it influences but the
passer-by. The town crier was largely
utilized in Greece and Rome. 1t was not
until the advent of the newspa per. how
ever, that the art began to show that
there existed within it's possibilities of
growth and development. The newspa-
per furnished at once natural adver-
tising medium,-a medium that could
be carried home by the reader, and which
did effective work because it was read at
the freside or in the study. instead of be-
ing painted on a single house or bawled
forth indistinctly by crier. The develop
ment of the art, based upon recognized
principles of influencing the public, is a
matter of the last hundred years. Fifty
years ago extensive newspaper advertis-
ing was regarded luxury; today it
is one of the recognized necessities of
trade, a business in itself. having its
own experts and specialists, and being
constantly improved in it's matter and
manner.

PRINCE STARTS THE FASHION
(From the Chicago Times-Herald.)

(From the Chicago Times-Herald.)
The Prince of Wales has new hat, and
soon all the men of fashion in England
Every now and then Albert Edward in
vents new style of hat revives an old
one, and the halter who gets the order is
kept busy supplying his customers with
the same kind of article The prince s
new hat is in reality a copy of the beaver
of long ago and is amazingly like the ira
dttional head-dress of Uncle Sam. Con-
gressman John De Witt Warner has in
sisted on wearing just such a hat for sew
eraI years. He has been laughed at, but
it is now by no means improbable that it
will be popular since such a distinguished
glass of fashion his royal highness hs,
taken it up. The Prince of Wales invents
his own styles as rule. The belI-shaped
stove pipe so common a few years ago
was his conceit. The straight stove pipe
with the narrow brin was also first worn
by the Prince of Wales. The new old hat
which the prince is now wearing is not
the shaggy thing of old, but fine. sleek,
glossy, black silk affair with an eXaggerat-
ed bel1-shaped crown, a wide band, and
very broad brim well turned up at the
sides. 1t is strikingly jaunty and well be-
comes his style of face and the cut of his
beard. This hat, it should be said, will
not look well on young men, especially if
they be slim, but it will without doubt
draw its wearers largely from that des-
cription of fashions followers.

AN Army OF vAGAEoNDs.

rF'rom the Girard Qxan.) world.1
The condition of the berry pickers at
Liberal, NO., is a good example of the
prosperity of the present time. IT
was said that there were from three 40
six thousand people there last wee ,,
who had gathered with the hope of get
tirg few days work, when not over
300 would have been sufficient to take
care of the entire crop.
The hungry and destitute people,
many of whom were insufficieu t1y
clothed, were stealing anything they
could lay hands on, even going into the
country to milk the farmers cows. The
potato crop had nearly disappeared in
that vicinity through their nightly
raids.
A dancing hall, variety shows and
confidence games We're holding high
carnival ard the place was really dan
gerous to be in. Some of the crowd
were angry with the men who advertis-
ed for help, and even organized to de-
stroy the berry plants.
A country in which such scenes are
growing more and more common, as is
the case with US today is in imminent
danger

arHERE's a GOOD TIME COMING.

/ During the month of June the United
| States treasury received $13. $50, OLA more
/ than it paid out. This is a gratifying
and satisfactory showing, although it is
of no particular significance as an indi-
cation of that revival of prosperity for
which all have been looking.
This important increase of revenue
receipts is doubtless the result of abb
normally large importations in antici-
patton of the new tariff schedule, but
the alarm felt in some quarters lest a
season of deficits should again set in
after the passage of the tariff bill seems
unwarranted in view of the fact that
there is a marked revival of business
activity throughout the country. This
Improvement in trade conditions doubt
less proceeds from feeling among in
vestors, manufacturers ard business
men generally that the important q1es-
tions of the currency and the tariff are
settled for four years at least.
When the country's affairs are in an
unsettled condition nobody cares to
buy anything that is not absolutely
necessary ard as result prices fall.
When there is a fall of pr ces along any
part Gu ar line it soon extends to every
thing else. Even SPECTATORS will not
buy on falling market, SO they lock
up their money and wait. General
stagnation follows. The country has
been experiencing this condition for
four years. The tide has at last been
turned.
Prices of securities have advanced
steadily all along the line for some
weeks. When the price of any spec
ulative commodity is on the rise every
body wants that commodity. This
tends to boost the price higher until
point is reached beyond which conserv-
ative investors fear to go. Then they
turn their attention to some other class
of investments and the same process is
gone through with. SOFT may confident
ly be predicted that the activity shown
on the stock market will soon extend to
real estate and other classes of invest
nents.
In the end these conditions lead to
more general employment OF labor,
thereby Increasing the peoples capas 1ty
for consumption. Hence there need be
little uneasiness regarding the govern
ment revenues for some time to come.
Give the people work so they can
earn money with which to buy and
they will soon use up the enormous i'm
portations made in anticipation of the
new tariff schedule. The business re-
vival seems to be at hand.

TURTLE HUNT PLANNED.
They Have Made Themselves a Nui-
sance in Beau tiful Arbutus Lake.

New York, July 2.-The days of the
swapping turtles of Arbutus lake are
numbered. They have long been a
nuisance and a danger, and efforts are
to be made to clear them out. Arbu-
tus is the name of a fresh water lake at
Huguenot, s. I. 1t is 800 feet in length
and about five feet deep. 1t lies about
200 feet from the salt water of Raritan
bay at Huguenot beach. Although a
more picturesque spot than Arbutus
lake, surrounded by beautiful trees and
flowers, cannot be found on the island,
the turtles have kept people away from
it, The lake swarns with them. They
are of all sizes, and some have been
caught that measure fifteen inches
across the back.
The work of clearing the lake will be
begun this week. The lake, which is
formed by springs, will be lowered
about three feet, so that the turtles
can be seen on the bottom The fish
ermen will go out in f1atboats, each
armed with a long stick, to which is
attached a sharp hook. When a tur-
tie is espied he will be hooked by one
of his fiippers and quickly turned on
his back It is then an easy matter to
lift him into the boat.

talk from the nursecy-in fact, to
sweep it off the face of babyland. The
reform is based on the fact that par
ents are largely responsible for the lido
syncrasies of baby language, and that
it would be about as easy to teach the
rising generation the proper pronuncia-
ton of words at the beginning as to
wait until they reach an advanced age
in youth.
This drill in pure p1onics." as it is
called, may be able to accomplish in
time what its advocates claim for it.
but what practical advantage will have
been obtained?
No one seriously asserts that the Ian
guage of babyland retards the child s
learning when greater maturity has
been reached, nor that there is any sug-
gestfon of permanent effect. The most
that can be accomplished therefore, is
to train the baby to avoid the cooling
prelIminarieS in language learning and
to make the change abruptly from
fascinating creature that expresses all
emotions by prOtracted howlS to a dig
nified infant that prides itself in its
perfection in articulation. A sugges-
tion of what might be possible in this
respect has come through the a1legedly
funny periodicals in sketches of life
in Boston nurseries.
The imagination can picture the pre-
cocious baby calling distinctly for it's
Tactical fluid" But the picture is far
from alluring and few people would
care to have it reproduced at their own
hearthstones.
There are few memories more dear
than the memories of the caressing syl-
tables of baby talk. There are few lives
which would not suffer a distinct and
grievOus loss if those memories were
ruthlessly cut off. Are there not enough
serious. important things in life to en-
gage the energies of people without
making attacks on a harmless source of
universal delight?
The Topeka state journal., 1897-07-02

questions the only way in which true
teaching can be assured is by providing
for all sides to be heard. The truth, as
we believe, has been taught in the eco
nonic tenets laid down by recognized
authorities for a generation past. Self
interest on one side has produced an
effort to represent the long standing
principles as deficient; and such oppo-
nents of the doctrines of corporate prfvi-
lege as Prof. BeniS have taken the sin
gular course of accepting the false pre-
misses of those doctrines as true, in or
der to draw from them the doctrine of
socialism.
With those contending schools of
economic thought the only way for
education to be honest is to insist on
hearing all sides on a fair inquiry into
the facts, and on the legitimate con-
clusions from them without fear of the
powerful or favor to those from whom
favors may be expected in return
