Personal AND OTHERWISE.

Time does not wither nor custom stale
the infinite variety Of Abdul Hands stoch

| The Florida orange crop promises to be
| twice as large as last year, but We are
more interested in peaches just now.
The hot summer has made this a very
| profitable year for the icemen. In double
sense they have cut good deal of it.
Henry Wood of Boston, who has already
given a church and town hall to his native
| town of Barre Mass, has now announced
his intention of giving it handsome high
| school building.
1t is a record that speaks volumes as to
| the character OF the man that in his life
| OF sixty years William II. Daily never tasted
| an intoxicating drink and was never known
| to use a profane word.
Phladephians are rejoicing over the es-
| tablishment OF a new steamship line be-
tween that city and the Netherlands. 1t
already has two companies providing such
| service, both Of which have found the bus
| mess very profitable.
Frank " Rider of this city has aston
ished all the old California fishermen by
| successfully bringing to the gan a black
sea bass weighing S24 pounds. He did it
with an ordinary tarpon rod and reel and
twenty -one-thread line, and so is the
piscatorial hero of the year.
The anti-swearing ordinances having
fallen through, President Guggenhemer of
the New York council proposes to try an
other means to stop profanity by compelling
the street car companies to lower their car
steps to nine inches and to require car
to stop when passenger signals.
1t is said that one portion OF the body of

Vienna, where all the members Of the i'm

Of Emperor Matthias repose, another por-

Peter schemm, the aged Philadelphia
brewer, who committed suicide the other
day by throwing himself over Niagara
falls, for many years restricted his output
OF beer and could not be induced to extend
his list Of customers. His beer was re-
garded by many persons as the best in the
country and it was all brewed in the old
fashioned way His reason for refusing to
supply new customers was that he had
enough money and he would only supply
those or the children OF those who had
helped him when he was poor young fel-

CHATTER ABOUT ANARCHY.
Striking Attitude of Rich and Poor
During the War.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
1t may require force to suppress anarchy
abroad, where the people are used to force,
but in this country the war has been daily
disproof Of the wrongs and selfishness that
the anarchsts-in other words, tramps and
loafers-complain about.
The people who have been so long under
charge by the walking delegate class have
asserted fine Amerlcanism in this war
and have been as liberal in proportion to
their means as the poorer families. Not
only have they been liberal with money,
but they have worked, fought and in some
instances given up their lives. In the con-
spicuous regiment of cavalry known as the
Rough Riders men of all classes were
brought together. Their colonel is q rich
man, but he has proved himself a man,
none the less. One of the first troopers
to be killed was a man of old and wealthy
family. A colonel OF artillery who ate hard
tack and bacon with his soldiers is one
OF the richest men in America, A sergeant
who died of starvation was the son of a
millionaire The gifts of Miss Helen Gould
and of Mrs. Letter are reckoned in many
thousands OF dollars and other wealthy peo-
pie have contributed large sums-larger
than the public knows.
The rich have proved, in short that they
are not class favored by the community,
by officers, by government, or by them
selves; that they are not, in fact, class
at all. A few misers who bring ridicule
on wealth by no means represent the
wealthy class, and there are more misers
among the poor and the middle classes
than among the rich. In their services to
the country and to its soldiers the Ameri-
can people have opened their hearts and
their purses, quite regardless of the amount
in the purse The talk about an aristoc-
racy OF family is absurd when members
OF that family fight shoulder to shoulder
with laborers and COW punchers, and the
talk OF an aristocracy of wealth Is equally
absurd when wealth freely spends its sub
stance for the good OF the country and OF
the men who fight it's battles.

The New York yellow journal delights
its caudal appendage known in these
parts as the Fakery by announcing that
strictly confidential information has
been fished up by one of its reliable
observers on the Potomac that General
Alger has rendered his resignation as
secretary of war. But the man in Ak
SarBen colors remarks in concluding
this startling piece of news: 81 could
find no one in high official circles to,
night who could confirm the report" "
We apprehend that the enterprising
genius is not likely to find anybody in
high official circles to confirm this
rumor, tonight tomorrow night or any

Money in the West.


Usually at this season the banks OF the
west and south borrw heavily from this city,
and the shipments of currency to the in
terror are usually greatly more than $780,
900 900.
This year the borrowings and shipments
are almost nothing. Only paltry $3,OOO,-
900 of currency has been sent to move the
crops"
The explanation is that last years
enormous agricultural product, sold at
pkenomenally high prices, has so enriched
the west and south that they have no need
to borrow of New York.
1t is an excellent situation, produced in
the most wholesome of all possible ways.
1t means general prosperity. And
prosperity of that kind produces content.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH MISSOURI
1t seems incomprehensible why the
state of Missouri is not more in evidence
souri, excels not only in population, but
in its vast and varied natural and in.
dustrial resources, every other state west
of the Mississippi. The empire state
of the transmississippi region could
fill every foot of space Of the
Mines building with the products
of its iron, zinc, lead and coal
mines. It's building stone from granite
to limestone is in itself source of
wealth greater than the argentiferous de-
posits of Colorado or the tabled gold
fields of the Klondike. Missouri could,
if so disposed, have made the most mag
nifiCent showing in the agricultural
building, and yet it is distanced by OK
quality of its products of the soil. For
the first three months after the eXposi-
tion opened the space allotted to Mis-
souri, in the Agricultural building con-
sisted of pyramid of flour sacks and q
reception room for stray MissOurians.
This meager exhibit was finally rein
forced by Il collection of cereals, but it
is far from creditable.
What is the matter with Missouri is
the question heard on all sides in the
exposition grounds and it seems strange
that the Missouri commission, which is
more numerous than the commissions OF
any seven states represented in the eX-
position combined, has not yet realized
the discredit which Will attach to its
failure to have the resources of their
great state properly advertised While
nearly million and a half of people
have passed through the gates it is not
decent showing in the exposition which
in the next six weeks will be visited by
from one to two millions of people.
Another very singular thing about
Missouri is the ineXplicable indifference
shown by the metropolis of that state
in falling to avail itself of the Oppor-
tunities afforded by the exposition to
cultivate and extend its trade relations.
While the merchants and manufacture
ers of st. Louis are planning an inva-
sion into Porto Rico Chicago is organic
ing business mems excursions to Omaha
and the heart of the corn belt, which
consumes and buys more factory prod
ucts and merchandise in one month than
hn w. St,i,.
pie of Porto Rico and Cuba consume
and purchase in a year. Not only have
the mercantile classes of Chicago caught
on to the fact that the Transmississippi
Exposition affords an unrivaled oppor-
tunity for expanding their commerce,
but the social and political clubs, such
as the Union league, Athletic, Marquette
and Iroquois are all organizing palace
car excursions for Chicago day. And
yet st. Louis is eighty miles nearer
Omaha than Chicago by the shortest
route and twenty miles by the longest
route.
Again, what is the matter with Mis-
souri, and what's the matter with st.
LouiS, Nhl'h mas every INCENTIVE LOT

Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Utah and the Pacific
coast states, whose products are cred

The arrant demagogy of the fakir can
didate for congress in this district is
strikingly illustrated in his attempt to
get credit for the free train furnished
by the Missouri Pacific for conveying
the veterans of the Twenty second in
fantry from Fort Crook to the exposi-
tion grounds. General Passenger Agent
Townsend without solicitation from
anybody, had rendered this train to the
heroes of Santiago, but just as soon as
the fakir candidate found it out he
promptly trumped the card and asked
for free train so that he could make
another grand stand play about his pa
triotic and public spirited sacrifices for
humanity and the returning soldiers.
