In this the new proprietor evidently
means that the saloon is going to be con-
Quoted in a filter manner than it was be-

bought out his brother. who kept a saloon
on North Clark street, the other day. He
knew the familiar sign and thought it was
necessary TO put up something of the kind

BIAIRSTOWN, August 2S, 1SsS.-John 1.
Blair. the banker and philantnropist, eel
eprated his ninety-sixth birthday at his
home here yesterday. He founded this
town. ard nearly all the residents in it
depend on the industries he started for
"a livelihood. Mr.. Blair spent the day
quietly, as he IS quite feeble, and is not
sbIe ia go out of doors much. His em-
ployes called on him in the morning. Mr..
Blair's birthday is the occasion for every
one in Blairstown to visit him. and the
employees all have a haIf-holiday.
Mr.. Blair has now but one living child,
De Witt Clinton Blair. head Of the bank
ing firm Of Blair & Co, Wall street. New

grandchildren, Mrs. Larned and Mrs.
Fitzhugh. Of Chicago, Clarence O.. Mitch
eli, G. Ledyard Blair and John I. Blair,
Jr., Of New York, and eight great-grand-
children.
Mr.. Blair. while remaining quietly at
home. takes a deep interest in the events
of the day. and was a close follower of
the war and a warm adniirer of President
McKinley's curse during its progress.
Few men have given more money for
benevolent objects han Mr.. Blair. ali
though only a small proportion of them
ever become known to the public. The
latest gifts TO which notoriety have been
given are Blair Hall, a handsome lorlns-
tory at Princeton, costing 500, GOO, and an
additional gift to Blair Presbyterian
Academy, an institution for both sexes II
his place.
The comfortable and homelike mansion
in which Mr.. Blair lives is the same to
which he brought his bride, Nancy Lock,
over seventy-fiYe years ago It is now
presided over by the wife of his nephew
Mrs. John D.. Vail. who, since the death
of Mrs. Blair, in 1858. has lived with him.
The homestead is a large, square old fash
Toned structure. It is roomy and has
been remcdelled inside so that 1t con-
tains all the modern -conveniences. In
the western corner is Mr.. Blair's office,
where in his prime he frequently spent
twelve and fourteen hours a day. OF
late years he has largely given up an ae-
tive share in his numerous business err
terprises, and allows his nephew and
private secretary, DR.. w. H. Vail. % SUI

matters and have the European politely
inquire if he shall not converse in Eng
lish for your greater convenience. Then,
again, If on his side there are TWO CT
three parties to the conference, the refer
ences among themselves are invariably in
a ongue not known to you, and there
again the American is Handicapped.
We are the busiest people on the earth
and are just waking up to the general
knowledge of the value Of an export
trade. This year more American goods
are seen abroad than ever before; not
only more in quantity. but Infinitely more
in variety, and one of the details TO a
better mastery Of the export business
must be the acquisition Of the languages
where the goods go, especially a fuller
knowledge of commercial terms, weights,
measures. money, etc.
In a journey to Europe and back it is
easily seen that the modern world Is q
distinctively commercial world. Never
before, either at home or abroad, We're
commercial motives SO prevalent. The
modern world is on the rising tide Of
money making. The kings Of old were
race kings, chiefly war kings; today the
modern kings are the. rulers Of industries.
AT the Victorian Jubilee, England show
ed herself armed to the teeth, but the
showing was done solely to protect and
promote her trade. In the month of Au-
gust, 1898. Salisbury ordered the entire
English naval force to be ready at a mo-
| ment's call to enforce her doctrine of m
! open world for trade. The German Em-
pire, waking from d long sleep, is rcach-
| ing to the ends of the earth for larger
| business opportunities for her industries.
Chemical and technical schools flourish.
| and now chiefly exist to pour forth into
| this business arena a crowd OF young men
equipped to originate and promote reduc-
ed costs of production, and to make short
cuts to a larger product at a less cost,
and on these lines the competitive strug-
gle proceeds
A look over Europe shows that trade
does not FOLLOW the flag but follows
| favorable prices and goods prepared for
the Individual market.
Queen Victoria street. in its signs on the
ware houses, is even more American than
Liberty street, New York.
In Belgium. American goods sell as
fast as they suit that field, if prices are
right. In Germany and Austria, dealers
advise Americans to have their labels,
descriptions Of goods and directions for
using printed in English, SO that they
can be distinctly recognized as American.
When labels are printed in English the
goods sell easily.
In Vienna, at the Franz Joseph Jubilee
Exposition in the celebrated Prater, they
have a duplicate of the Ferris wheel, all
tie bearings of which are fabricated with
American flake graphite. The Dutch
Navy is also being supplied with the
same American fax graphite, and Gov
ernmen railways in Saxony are being
equipped with American labor saving APP
pliances.

Here he upholds the Dingley law be-
cause ii Increases the prices Of American
products. which formerly were unsoid on
account Of the Wilson law. And yet this
same tariff is presently to food our
markets with foreign goods at prices as

If this is not what the late samivel
Weller used to call double back action
we do not know how to describe it. A
law which is to prevent underselling and
to result in underselling at one and the
same time is assuredly a wonder.
