A Strong Nan.

At Wilrers' Hall last night j. W. Hart,
OF chicago, gave an exhibition Of strength
such as was never witnessed in this city
before, The large room was filed with
admirers OF human strength. All those
who saw Louis Cyr and his brother, who
were here about year ago, say Mr..
Hart is far superior to them, and in his
line OF work has no equal.
He began his exhibition by placing a
heavy steel chain, capable OF resisting a
strain oil 500 pounds, around his chest.
and breaking it by expansion He again
placed the chain around his right arm,
and broke it with ease. Henext tore TWO
packs OF playing cards, 104 in number,
squarely in two as though cut with
knife; next, taking one OF the halves, he
tore il into quarters.
He next broke hard maple stick, IL
inches in diameter, by striking it across
his forearm. The next feat is one which
puzzles everyone; that il. TO break a hard
granite cobble stone, weighing from two
TO six pounds, by striking them with his
bare fist-a blow as effective az if struck
with mason's sledge.
one Of Mr.. Hart's latest feats consists
oil bending steel spikes and short pieces
OF iron. For the purpose OF testing his
strength, well known blacksmith OF this
city brought piece Of iron from his
inches long, and asked the strong man il
he could bend 1t. Mr. Hart said he would
try, and taking the iron 10 both hands
attempted TO bend IT. For a while it
looked as though the feat was too much
Tor him, but he finally succeeding in bend
ing the iron into perfect staple. IL is
needless TO say that the audience was
surprised at the accomplishment OF the
feat.
Another feature OF his program was to
drive 9 inch blunt-cut spike through a
24lnch plank by single blow OF his pro-
digious fist, and then withdrawn the
spike by bis teeth.
Mr., Harris master feat, from which he
bars no man in the world, consists OF lift
ing dead weight from the floor. He has
a standing challenge that he can lift more
with one finger than any other man can
with his whole hand. lie has $25 posted
with Mr.. Winners, which will be forfeited
to anyone accomplishing the feat. Sew
eral OF the largest men in the audience
last night attempted to lift barrel OF
water, weighing 400 pounds, With one
hand, but failed to succeed. Mr.. Hart
then lifted IL with one finger, and with
apparent ease. t'le
Mr.. Hart will give another exhibition
ut Winners Hall from 8 TO 1 1 o'clock to-
night. and all who have not seen him per-
form should not tail to attend tonight,
90 this may be the last opportunity.

James III. Brownies company appeared
at the Opera House last evening and pre-
sented The Pay Train," a four act
drama, in manner which greatly
pleased the large audience. The play is
fair representation OF it's class and was
well acted. The staging effects wee
very good and the scenic effects were also
first class and came up fully to the mark
expected from the advance announce
ments.
Mr.. Browne appeared in the dual role
OF Puhen Cole and Charles Burton, alias
Barnes and gave strong portrayal OF
both parts. He was supported ably by
the company and the performance was
excellent from beginning 10 end.
Miss Wizard is a charming and lively
soubrette and became a favorite with
the audience before the first act was
over. Another favorite was Homer Null
aney, who is a comedian ranking far
above the average and full OF original
and amusing turns" His comedy work
was ably supported by Miss Marble.
Many of the actors have played here
before and Calumet theatre-goers knew
what to expect.
During the action OF the play some
clever dancing specialties we're introduced
by Messrs. Mulaney, Sutherland and Viz
,ard and Misses Marble and Wizard.
The company play again this evening
when no doubt they will be greeted by a
arge audience.

at the ball given last evening by the
Modern Woodmen OF America at the
Light Guard Armory and more delight
ful event could not have been ar
ranged. Ii was the first party given
under the auspices of Seneca Camp and.
though the attendance did not come up
as high as anticipated, those who were
present are enthusiastic in their praise OF
the camp as entertainers and those who
did not attend missed an enjoyable even
ing.
The decorations at the hall were, per-
haps, as elaborate as has ever been at
tempted here and the old Armory pre-
sented the very picture OF gayety. The
orchestra was seated in the center of one
end OF the hall and the stand was decoI-
ated with pine trees. The ball was truly
a woodmens' party and the decorations
were symbolic OF the order. Evergreens
and flags were festooned about the walls
and ceiling. Over the band stand the
letters an. W. A" were hung with the
green for background. In one OF the
corners was woodman's shanty with a
boiling pot inside. In the other corner a
parlor was arranged.
karkeet's Ideal orchestra furnished !
music Tor tbeeyent. Many new selections
were introduced. The Tally Ho' two
step and the Cleveland Grsys" two step
which has lately created sensations IN
New York were well rendered. The new
waltz ION the Benches la the Park" also
pleased the dancers.
The caterer Mr.. Johu Schroeder set up
a spread that truly satisfied the long
ngs OF the inner man and many we're the
compliments paid the caterer ON the ex-
'ellence OF the reDast. Charles Msyworm
Df Houghton acted as prompter.
What was almost new feature was
introduced during the dance. The small
ncandescent lights we're fitted with red
globes and the different colored lights
we're turned on and off during the dance
adding much to the beautiful { fleet.
The Woodmen deserve any amount OF
redit for a most enjoyable party.

Hon. W. Morton Grinnell, IN
the October Forum, publishes a
thoughtful article on bimetallism,
in which he contends that a double
money standard is impracticable,
His reasons are certainly sound.
They are summarized as follows:
The causes tending to make
bimetalism impossible and the sim
gle standard inevitable n (a) ma
tural and (b) artificial.
(a) Natural causes are: ~ The
inexerable operations Of the econ
omic law known as "Gresham's
law" (2) The constantly failing
market value of silver, owing to
apparently inexhaustible supplies,
improved methods Of extracting
the ore, cessation of any cores
ponding demand, etc., 81 The
increasing production of Gold,
which refutes the contention OF
the partisans Of silver and the
bimetallists, that there is not
enough gold in the world for the
uses of trade. (4) The constantly
diminishing use of metallic money
and the corresponding increase of
systems of credit, rendering me
tallic money useful chiefly for
great emergencies, such as national
reserves, the war-chests of nations,
and for retail transaction. For
the first purpose, gold is unques-
tionably superior to any other
standard of value; for the latter,
the same purpose is served by pa
per based in gold and by subsid-
larry silver. (5) Greater facilities
for inter-communication between
nations, rendering the medium Of
exchanges less complicated. (6)
Greater relative stability between
the market value of gold and OF
human labor.
(b) Among the artificial causes
tending to make bimetallisn i'm
possible re-: ~ Adoption Of the
gold standard, either by law Or
in practice, or both. By almost all
civilized nations, aud by many
nations whose claims to enter the
community are more recent. ~
The choice of gold payments by
creditors, who necessarily fix the
conditions and terms Of loans.
These causes are rapidly solV-
1ng.in the negative the problem
of bimetallism, international or
otherwise.

THE FIGHT.
Indications Point to a Sweeping
Victory For Silver Democrats.

Frankfort KY, Oct. 31.-The
Campaign in this State virtually
closed yesterday. Big political
gatherings, however will be held
here and at one or two other
points tomorrow. Congressman
Towse, of Minnesota, and Con-
gresham Rhea, of the Third Dis
trict, will be the speakers at a
mammoth demonstration here to-
morrow.
Only one State official, Clerk OF
the Court of Appeals, and a Leg
islature and county officers are to
be elected. but the fight on the
currency question has been made
nearly as prominent az last year,
because of the fact that the State
Democratic convention reafirmed
the Chicago platform, and also be-
cause half of the Senators elected
Tuesday will vote for Senator
Eirdsay's successor.
The gold Democrats have made
an'aggressiye fight. and have had
such men as Senator Lindsay,
Gen. Simon B. Buckner, Col. W.
c. 2. Breckenridge, Col. Josiah
Patterson, ex-Congressman Byr
nun, and others constantly on the
stump, but the indications are that
their candidate, HindmaD, will not
poll exceeding 10000 votes, in
which event the Democrats will al
most certainly carry the State by
from -, 900 20 IS, 900. The sill
yer Democrats will carry the leg~
islature, and will probably elect
thirteen of the nineteen Senators,
who will have a vote for United
States Sanator two years hence.
Republicans practically concede a
Democratic victory.
The following are the nominees
of the respective parties for Clerk
of the Court OF Appeals: Demo
cratic Samuel S. Shacketford; Ma
tional Democratic, James r. Hind
man; Republican, James 6. Bats
ley, Populist, 10. A. Parker.

THE New Orleans Picayune

THE New Orleans Picayune re-
ports trade in the Crescent City
improving despite the yellow
fever epidemic. Little by little, 1t
says the quarantine restrictions
are being removed, and each day
it is becoming possible for New
Orleans to trade with more
points. This is cheerful news,
In the way of marketing staple
products the Picayune says there
is little ground for complaint.
Cotton receipts, it adds, are now
realized freely upon all but a sin
gle railroak, which is still tied
up more or less by quarantine
restrictions. Grain for export is
moving with practically no in
terruption, and the sugar crop is
beginning to come forward in a
way that promises a lal &c move
ment in a very short time, Mat
tiers are therefore, not nearly so
bad commercially as they might
be, concludes our New Orleans
contemporary, and as soon as
there is a general frost, which
may happen now at any time, all
restrictions will be removed, and
it is likely that all loss Of trade
will speedily be made up.
