A COSTLY SCARE.

Cieveland's administration proved q
great financial blessing to this country
in one way, even if it was in one sense
negative. The scare, or panic, the de-
pressed condition of things generally
scared the English capitalists who held
American securities to that extent that
they unloaded at whatever price they
could get These securities Were sent
back to America and were bought up
by Americans TO the tune of very many
millions. They dumped their railroad
bonds and stocks and all character of
securities on the American market with
orders TO sell at any price. This fur
Their depressed conditions here. but long
headed American capitalists bought
them. That scare cost the British hun
dreds of millions, for no sooner was
Mckinley elected than the securities
were bought back again. The advance
in stocks which began last May 1T was
be sustained, and they began selling,
and they kept on selling until their
holdings were largely unloaded and
now, with a sane idea as to the situa-
ton in this country, they are buying
their stocks back at a largely advanced
figure. The lesson taught them in '96
was lost in 81. What has been the
Britishers loss has been the American
gain.

BIG VICTORY AFTER ALL.

The opposition has just commenced to
realize how badly it was hurt on Tues
day. Constituted as it is. of Democrats

around, 1t did not at first realize the
force of the Knockout New York S
Democratic triumph, when considered
in its proper light and estimated as to
its effects, is a black eye TO the free sill

of the National Democratic party, as
it is to the Pop leaders who have been
hoping for success in 1900 through fu-
sion. Greater New York in dominating
the National Democratic party viii see

only other Democratic or Fusion vic
tory on Tuesday was up in Nebraska,
the home of Bryan and the hotbed of
fusion. Kansas, the state which, more
than any other, suffered in her finan
cial credit and in hard times, because Of
Pop dominancy, stepped out of the
woods and is now in the clearing and
open sunshine. There is cheering all
along the line. The Republican candi-
date for governor Of Massachusetts has
a majority of $4,000, or 5000 more votes
than was cast for his opponent. In
Pennsylvania the Republicans marched
TO the front with 10000 majority.

jority count in face of such victories in

to wear something besides the funeTeaI waiter suit for evening dress There is very little for tailors in dress suits, for customers wear them so long that the average man orders one only once in two or three years; the fashion in dress suits has not changed appreeiably in ten or fifteen years. But the elientage of the merchant tailors has not been large enough to enable them te make any impression on the general public, and men have gone on wearing the standard dress suit The only success full innovation in this line has been the dinner coat.
 Tennis, golf and bicycling have how ever, in the last three or four years made the wearing of .11niekerbockers' so common that they no longer occa- sion remark. Men who would not for any consideration have appeared on the street in bicycle 'knickers' a few years ago now wear them as matter of course, and it will require no more hardiheed to wear knee brooches in a ballroom than on a street.
 "As to the old-time attire being suit able for the ballroom. there can be no question about it. Dancing is more violent exercise than wheeling. and no sensible man likes to have trousers Aappiug around his ankles when danc- ing Again knee buckles and silk stockings give man an air of dis tincdon he can never have when wearing trousers. and render it impoa- sibie to mistake him for waiter.

Al times, when boxer thinks he has an easy proposition. he will eoneede pounds without marmar, but when his prospective opponent is a dangerous man the scales are seraun- l2ed for unauthorized ounces.
 Some years ago lhe divisions between Inc boxers were marked bY The terms bantam, feather weight light weight, Melter weight. middle eightand heavy weight. Heavy weights were men at 158 pounds or over; middle, 142 to f58, welter, 133 10 142; light, l22 10 133; feather, not exceeding t22; bantams, 105 to 115. Those limits are now unrec- 0gnized Every boxer insists on spar ring at the particular weight at which he can do his best work, and the man agers scheme to secure weight eondi- lions calculated 10 embarrass an op- ponent. There are men who style them- selves champions at nearly every weight from 1o5 to 15s pounds.

How His Goodness saved Him from
 Becoming Tigers Meat.
 IL is related that a party of English officers were dining in a jungle. some distance from Madras, in India, when a huge tiger, a "maneater" much dread cd by the natives, rushed in among them, seized young midshipman. and flung him across her back, as helpless as q mouse in the fangs of a eat.
 h the first moment of terror the other officers had snatched up their weapons and retreated few paees; while the great beast stood lashing her sides with her tail. as if doubtful whether to seek more prey or to retire with that already taken.
 They knew that it is usual with the tiger. on seiing a victim, to deprive it of life at once by pat on the head which generally erusbes the skull; but fhis is not an inqariable practice. Hence, as the little "middy" lay mo- tionless on the creatures back. his friends, uncertain whether he had re- ceiyed the fatal pat or not were afraid

to fire lest they kill him as well as his assailant.
 While they were thus hesitating they observed his hand stealing gently over the side of the animal. Supposing this movement to be merely the eonvulsive action of one in the throes of death, they raised their pieces to fire, when to their utter amazement the monster dropped stone dead.
 An instant later the mystery was eX- plained. The young man sprang from the carcass, waving in triumph a bloody dirk drawn from the tigers heart, for which he had been feeling with the utmost coolness when the motion of his hand had been mistaken for dying spasm.
 Me feel certain that this bold and self-possessed youngster must have made his mark later; but here the story ends.

I1ppETlEIAs Ioati
 Just. about this season every year theop6mistic tailors launch a little boom for knee brooches, to be worn with evening dress. Heretofore the movement has been fostered by custom tailors solely, but this fall the matter has been taken up by some of the large clothing houses, in the belief that they have the real thing in booms at last
 One argument advanced for the adop- tion of knickerbockers has al least the merit of novelty The chief objection heretofore has been that we are such an ill-deTeloped race that to show our legs to the public gaze would be too severe q shock But now, the advocates of llnee brooches declare we have grown SO atbletic-thanlzs 10 the biey- cIe--tBat our legs may be displayed with impunity.
 Of course the adoption of this style would effeetually prevent guests from being eoHfounded with tbe servants. since the knee-breeched sJeems" is not yet q common article in this country. And the element of cheapness suggest ed by the dealer adds considerably 10 the attraetiveness of the scheme This is the way he putit:
