The entries for next weeks horse
and bicycle races at the Scranton Driv-
ing park have closed and appear in
full below. 1t will be noticed that ten
is the lowest number of entries in any
Of the horse events, while over two
score are entered in some classes. The
bicycle races, too, have filled better
than had been anticipated by the most
sanguine followers of the sport of
wheeling.
From Tuesday until Friday the races
will be conducted. For the horse events
the purses run from $3.50 to $500 In
value. This probably had much to do
with attracting so many horses, and
among them will be noticed some of
the best animals who have been touring
the Middle-Atlantic tracks.

Four more days and Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration, which, by friend
and foe alike,is conceded to~be The most
disastrous our country has known, will
have passed, and Grover Cleveland will
become private citizen. He will be
remembered as self-opinionated ego
tfst, whose stubborn tenacity in hold
ing to and carrying out his own pet
policies, not only well nigh destroyed
his party but brought great national
blight and disaster:
The utter failure of the Wilson
Tariff, the large bond issues, the in
crease Of the national debt and the de-
ficiency in the revenue are stand :
ing indictments against his policies,
not to mention his conduct in certain
foreign affairs. Heis tobe praised chiefly
for defeating all efforts to debase the
currency and for upholding the nation Is
credit. But we've only four days more
of Grover, and be goes back to private
life with the unenviable record Of be-
ing "unloyed and unlamented" by the
people who bestowed upon him the
greatest honor and distinction in their
power to give. Lacking all social and
genial qualities, ponderous in mind and
body, there is little in his life in touch
with ''the people," The chief glory of
his life at the White House is his
beautiful and lovely wife who has been
and is in-the truest sense of the word
sthe first lady of the land"

On next Thursday Major Mckinley
will be inaugurated President of the
United States. He was elected with
the hope and belief that a change Of
administration would bring relief and
restore prosperity, and so great WIS the
people faith in him, that new life
began to be felt in the business CEN
tsrs as soon as the news of his election
was known. But no president, since
Lincoln, has taken the reins Of govern
ment at SO critical o period in our
country, and he must have the aid and
cooperation Of Congress to override
the breakers that threaten the Ship of
State. The Republicans will not have
control Of Congress, and as Mr.. Nc
Kinley was elected by the aid Of multi

ported him with the hope that there
by they would save the country from

eminent, be must now look to the pa

Senator Gray, available, the Republi.

the Office being ably and satisfactorily
filed by one who is not Democrat is

President Cleveland presented the
name Of ex-Chancellor, James L. VOL
colt, of Dover, but the United States
Senate will not confirm the appoint
ment. There was great outburst Of
surprise and displeasure throughout the
state when the news was received that
he had been named, his utter unftness
being acknowledged by his own party
as well as by his political opponents.
The EVERY Evening" which is for
Senator Gray, first, last and all the
time makes the following severe attack
upon the Presidents appojntee:.
Were Mr.. Wolcott man of COM
mandIng ability and influence, with a
reputation for calm impartiality and
freedom from the bias.of partisan poll
tics, he might stand some chance of
running the gauntlet of a politically
hostile Senate. But it is no injustice
to him to say that he is not that kind
of man. On the contrary, he has
been, and still is, partisan in political
matters, and therefore can hope for no
kindly considering at the hands of his
political opponents in the Senate.

A discovery and its outcome. A

our Linen Chief, travelling among
the linen makers of Germany STUN
bled across gem-a tiny linen fac
tory that could have been set in its
entirety on a couple of city lots.
But its ruling spirit was genius and
the linens he was producing shone
by comparison with the best in all
Germany. We bought few and
ordered more and the firm of A. E.
Stiller & Sohn had stepped to the
fame it deserved. Yearly the orders
grew, and the factory at Sorau to-
day Is ten times the size of the bijou
we first found.
Stiller linens are unmatchably
good.
Sturdy, slightly stufs whose char
acteristicS are being unsuccesSfully
aped by makers far and wide. We
have their product for retail distri-
bution-or rather his product, for the
elder StilIer has been dead these
four years. The son succeeded to
the business in its entirety-and the
qualities that won him high military
rank have ample play in the life
work he has taken up.

elegant in design. So does France.
You love them and pay their price.
Those linens for high-days. The
Stiller linens for three hundred and

Delicious snails of Provence.

The Provencal snails, which feed in gourmet fashion upon vine leaves, are peculiarly delicious, and there was a murmur of delight from our company as the four women brought to the table four big dishes full of them, and for n while there was only the sound of eager munching, mixed with the chatter on china of the empty shells. To extract them we had the strong thorns, three or four inches long, of the wild acacia. and OH these the little brown morsels were carried to the avid mouths and eaten with bit of bread sopped .n the sauce, and then the shell was subjected to d vigorous sucking, that not a drop of sauce lingering within it should be lost.
