In striking contrast to the colonel of
the Sd Nebraska is the attitude of an
other soldier, who is also Democrat
and also a politician-General Joseph
Wheeler. When questioned regarding
his probable length of service General
Wheeler said: "As to how long 1 shall
hold my commission in the army l am
unable to tell. The matter rests en-
tirely with the President. / think Mr..
Mckinley has favored me most hand
somely, and whatever he asks regard
ing my future movements will be law
If he wants me to stay in the army /
shall do SO very willingly, and if he
desires that 1 shall retire 1 have left
my future movements to his discre-
tfon." General Wheeler's conception
of a soldiers duty is commended to all
who are seeking to escape further SER
vice because the spectacular part of
the war is over. But then General
Wheeler did not enter the service for
spectacular effect.

When young mag asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage, if tne father
Is wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-
gence. A young man who suffers from i'll
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored. To do so is to commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited the constitu-
tional tendency to acquire them Is inner
tied. If a man Is q consumptive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, understood lungs, and predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease.
The young man who suffers from bron-
chitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood or any
disease of the air-passages which, If neg
lected leads up to consumption, may take

sufficient intensity to cause death.
Under the new law the court appoints
week within which the sentence of
death shall be executed, and the ex-

week, and at an hour between mid
night and sunrise, without previous
announcement to anybody, excepting

Prophecies as to the Winter.

Predictions concerning the coming
winter are being freely made. Some of
them are the regular prophecies which
occur after every hot summer. From
time immemorial it has been said that
an extremely hot summer is followed
by an extremely cold winter. There
are no statistics that we know of to
substantiate this assertion, and there
is no reason why it should be so. On
the contrary it would seem that a hot
summer ought to bring a mild winter.
The heat, one would think, ought to
penetrate the regions whence the Icy
winds pour down on the temperate
zone, and modify their severity.
1t may be, however, that this heat
fails to make an impression upon the
with their frigidity undiminished. But
this would leave the prophecy without
any feet to stand on. If the heat does
not modify the cold of the arctic re-
gions, it certainly does not increase it,
and there is, therefore, no apparent
reason why a hot summer should be
followed by cold winter. But it may
be urged the prophecy is based on what
has occurred under similar circum-
stances. To this it may be answered
people remember easily the occasions
on which the prophecy has been full
filled, but they do not charge their
minds with those occasions when it has
not been fulfilled.
The goose bone and the heavy crop
of nuts and the thick coats of wool and
fur on the backs of animals are almost
perennial, and they fail of the mean
ing ascribed to them quite as often as
they bring cold weather. They are
largely in evidence now. The nut crop
is large, the sheep have heavy f1eeces
and the fur of the wild animals is re-
.markably thick. One Maine weather
prophet has carefully examined the
goose bone. He finds it very white
and unusually broad which means
very cold winter. The breadth of
the bone indicates that a heavy snow
will come in November, and that ii
will be overlaid by repeated SHOWS I'M
be interspersed with hail and sleet
storms. This is a good deal for one
goose bone to tell, and there may be
notifications along about the middle
of the winter. A goose knows more
than it is given credit for, but it don't
know everything. There may be hard
winter, but the bones and furs and
nuts will not make it so.

MARKET REPORTS,
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. THE stock market
continued narrow and professional, to-
day, and even the Industrial specialties
which have shown violent fluctuations
and have been feverish for some time
past. fell into comparative quietude.
The movement of prizes in the Indus
trials was conflicting in the early part
OF the trading. but the reactionary ten
dency gained the upper hand in most
cases and wiped out nearly all of the
earlier gains. Sugar was less active
than of late but ruled above yester-
days level most of the day and rallied
a point from the lowest in the late
dealings. in face of the continued heay-
mess of the general market.
In the Railroad list the most notable
feature was the continued large Offer
lngs of Northern Pacific and the poor
absorbative powers for the stock shown
by the market. The opening was at a
decline of q in spite of the fact that it
was the one American stock which
showed an advance in London. The
price declined at one time IL and onIy
feebly rallied. Union Pacific sympa-
thized. Next to the Pacifics the Gran
gers were most notably affected The
failure OF this group to respond to the
very favorable earnings shown by re-
cent statements has also invited real
izatioms.
Rates for time money were easier. to-
day, and mercantile paper is also tend
ing to a lower basis with a very light
supply in the mrket. The movement
OF currency to the interior during the
week has been offset by receipts of i'm
ported species as the banks have gain
ed from the sub-treasury. Tomorrow. s
bank statement is expected to show a
further large gain in cash reserves.

New England base ball enthusiasts
may well rejoice over Boston's capture
of the pennant for another season.

played, next week. The Boston team
is doubly deserving of the victory.
