has been in the business as long as we
have, and has handled as many different
kinds of machines and implements. can
trnthfully say that he has never made a
sale that did not give perfect satisfaction
to the purchaser. We can say this and
prove it. Why not patronize firm with
such record? We say and can prove
that the BUCKEYE MOWER is without
a rival for durability. light running and
good work. No machine on the market
will last longer, and require less repairs.
We are the oldest Mower agents in York
county, and have had the offer Of the
agency of almost every machine that is
represented in the county today; but have
declined because we knew we had the
hest, and that merit will win in the long
run. Call and see us before you buy.
PLEASE REMEMBER
That we sell the BABCOCK and SAVER

two beauties from the latter firm last

TIE newspaper fraternity of tn

The newspaper fraternity of this
country will not forget President
Ackinley's gracious and thoughtful
defense Of those who accom- panied
him on his trip to Nashville, from
the snob in charge Of the Vanderbilt
villa In the south. When told that
the representative Of Vanderbilt had
insulted the newspaper men OF his
party and had determined to exclude
them from the premises. the presi-
dent said that he would not set foot
upon the grounds. The consequence
was that the important individual
quickly altered his plans. The pres
ident Of the United States has shown
that there is no one too great in this
country to lose sight Of the best
friends Of all mon in station--the
newspaper boys.

Tut ABOARD an outgoing Steamer by q
Ruse-His Lordly Palace.
He did not want to leave London, but
by a ruse they induced him to go on
board steamer to see nephew off TO
the cape, and he was kept talking in the
cabin until the ship had parted with
the tender. He was thus shipped away
against his will. This explains a story
made much of at the time and now
revived-that he went the last time to
South Africa so unexpectedly that he
had only the clothes he stood in His
condition became worse instead Of bet
ter. He made public exhibition of in
sanity at Johannesburg about six weeks
ago, but it was attributed to temporary
causes.
His friends knew better, however.
and good deal of selling his securities
for a fall has been INDUCED in during
the slump by well informed specula-
tors. The collapse has not been as great
as was looked for, because the Belts
and other big South African houses
have combined to keep up prices. At
the same time it has been more than
sufficient to prevent a newly attempted
boom in these securities on which the
stock exchange has been reckoning for

e1.o0o.ooo Palace. a. srsd q
New York, June 1s.-A dispatch to
The World from London says: Barney
Barnato's suicide must cause wide
spread ruin among small investors. They
had pinned their faith to him. The
big Spectators, having had inside
knowledge Of his serious condition, have
either cleared out or been manipulating
his stock with considerable profit. Bar
natO's tragic end has convinced the pub
lie here of the utter rottenness Of the
South African boom, which now easily
takes rank as the biggest stock initiation
scheme (not to say swindle) of the
record reign. Barnato securities were
quoted eighteen months ago at a capi-
tai value Of E12,OO0.OOO $3.50, ,OCo, ,OO0), but
in the last six months they had fallen
to about s3.000.000 e15. ZOO. .0OO). though
they recently improved on better ac-
counts from South Africa.
Barney Had Taken to Drink.
Mrs. Joel. Barnato's sister, told The
World correspondent last night, before
anything was known here of the death.
that friends intended to land Barney
Barnato at Funchal for a months rest,
as his health was not yet such as to render
his return to London advisable No Sc
cret is made of the fact that his break
down was accelerated by heavy drink
ing. which began when the KafIir slump
started-eren before his departure for
South Africa, which was hurried
and private. His mind showed signs
Of failing under strain eight months
ago, on which account he was sent away
from England. There had never been
any sensible improvements in his condi-
ton.
Sought "Solace" Too FREQUENTLY
His responsibilities weighed heavily on
his mind and he sought "solace'' too
frequently. His naturally robust con-
stitution had been undermined by his
laborious. exciting life. and symptoms
OF softening Of the brain manifested
themselves. His family and partners be-
came alarmed at the probable effect on
his securities If this were known, as
they were believed to be dependent sole
ly on his personality. So they used
every effort to get him off to the Cape
and place him in seclusion for a time, in
the hope that he would recover.
