THE DAYS WINNERS.
Tom Lawson Fails to Get Waldorf
Astoria Challenge Cup.

Astoria Challenge Cup.
New York, Nov. 15.-Madison Square
Garden was crowded almost to the top
gallery, tonight, the third night of the
horse show. The first exhibition of the
evening was the show of high school
horses, and the judges decision result
ed in a storm of Kisses as the winner
rode down the garden, hundreds of the
spectators apparently not endorsing the
choice made. The winner was Emil
Callers horse, Captain. Harrison
seemed to take very much better with
the crowd.
An event of the evening was the con-
test for the Waldorf Astoria challenge
cup for gig horses, driven by their own
ers, which was won by w. i. Elkins'
stallion Red Cross. A dozen gentlemen
drove into the ring with their favorite
high steppers among them being
Thomas w. Lawson of Boston. There
was much competition among the driv-
ers In making the rounds Of the tan
bark. The Waldorf-Astoria cup must
be won three times by one owner be-
fore it becomes his property.
The trial of hunters over the jumps
followed. Hunters and jumpers were all
eligible for this class being put over
six successive jumps of feet The win
ner in high jumping proved to be the
bay gelding King Pin of the Meadow
crook farm, Hamilton, Mass.

February 16. 1t was the largest indoor
occasion of its kind ever given in the
United States.
1T is gratifying to observe that our
exports have become larger than our
imports, and that the products of our
mills are finding increasing favor
abroad. Our free trade friends keep on
telling us that protection destroys com
merce and that it can not export unless
we import, and also that protection de-
feats revenue, but the country keeps

FIRM DISSOLVED.

Members of a Chicago Bucketshop Ar
rested for Shady Transactions.
Chicago, Nov. 15.-The federal auth
critics today took cognizance of the re-
ports which had been made concerning
the alleged fraudulent actions of the
board of trade firm of McLain Broth
ers & Co., and arrested Charles r. and
Albert 0. McLain, members of the firm.
The charge was using the United
States mails to carry on a scheme to
defraud The prisoners were taken be-
fore United States Commissioner
Humphrey, where they waived eXami-
nation and were held to the federal
grand jury in bonds of $4,000.
The firms business consisted prin-
cipally of deals for country customers.
The members of the firm are said to
have matched buying on selling or
ders from customers with the reverse
trade on their own account, and it is
said many customers lost money on
the fictitious sales.

Great Danger-Keep Out. !:


The laboratory is a queer looking
structure, and has been an object of in
terest to the town folk, who have gaz-
ed at it long and often, but who, as a
rule, never ventured closer than fifty
feet, the sign being a sufficient warn
ing to keep away the curious.
The most noticeable features about
the barnlike building are the numer-
Gus electric wires running into the
place, the scaffold-like contrivances on
the roof and the pole in the center of
the building, rising to height Of 250
feet and surmounted by large ball.
Few persons looking at the ball sus
pended on the innocent looking pole
imagine that it has played an impor-
tant part in high altitude experiments.
The ball, which Is about one and one
half feet in diameter, is used to trans
nit and receive messages. There is a
wire on the inside of the pole which
runs to the instrument in the build
ing.
Tesla zealously guards all approach
es to the laboratory. There is a small
engine near the entrance. The labora-
tory proper is located back of the en-
CINE and is inclosed by a circular par
tition, so that employees will not come
in contact with live" wires.
The laboratory consists of two large
cylindrical shaped contrivances. One
reaches from the floor to the roof, and
is made entirely of wood. Surround
ing it is one which is encircIed by
live" wires and it is here where Mr..
Tesla has accomplished his scientific
experiments in high altitude
The building, from an exterior point
of view, is of peculiar design. 1t is
low, wooden building, thirty feet
square and rises to a height of only
twenty feet The building is to the
right of the Printers Home, founded
bv Messrs. Childs and Drexel, and
maintained by the international Typo
graphical Union.

The Savannah, Ga., News ad- vises the farmers to hold their cot ton. Cotton is bringing 7 cents at this point now, says the News, and 1t would not be at all surpris- ing if it should demand s cents be- fore the end of this month. If the crop is as short as 1t is generally believed to be there will be a scramble for cotton before many weeks. The southern mills are of the opinion that cotton will be no cheaper, and they are buying free ly at prevailing prices. That their policy is q wise one will probably be clearly demonstrated inside of a month. The spinners who are holding off for q lower market will be disappointed-at least the indi- cations now are that they will. Farmers, wherever they can, are holding their cotton, and unless all signs fail they are are safe in doing so.-Ark. Democrat.

learn better than to be taken in by the fake concerns that attempt to draw sustenance from that race. They must investigate such things and put business methods into their dealings The negro has too long been an easy mark for the un- scrupulous sharks who operate among the ignorant classes. A few years ago thousands of dollars were extracted from ex-slaves and their descendants by agents who assured them that they would ulti- mately secure a pension from the government. The newspapers finally drove the agents from the field, but new schemes are being constantly formed and worked by which the ignorant negro pays tri- bute to some shrewd member of of his race. It would be well for those who have his education in in charge to warn him against such fakes and teach him the value of close inquiry.-Democrat.

THE GREAT PRESIDEN- TIAL CAMPAIGN OF 1900.

The policies of the great po- litical parties are now being formed and the candidates dis eussed. The voice of the people as recorded by ballot at the ap- preaching Presidential election will probably decide the policy ofthe nation for the next decade. Every citizen must study the great questions that are tocome before the people. This can only be done through the medium of great newspaper. Now IS the time, therefore, for every voter to subscribe for the best and most reliable newspaper obtain able. The Semi Weekly Repub- lie covers the whole field of po- litical news. While 1t Is Demo- cratic, 1t publishes the news i'll regard to all political parties without prejudice. It's tele- graphic and cable news service is superior to that of any other paper. It's special features are the best. In fact, 1t is the paper for that large class of readers who cannot afford or do not have access to the daily papers.
 Attention IS also called to Tie Republics Sunday Magazine. It's half-tone illustrations are alone worth the subscription price. It IS made up of special articles by the best literary tai ent, embracing a variety of sub iects of current interest. New features of absorbing interest are illustrated and enlarged up- on. For the benefit of the ladies the latest fashions are hand somely illustrated. The Repub- lie Sunday Magazine IS always interesting to every member of the family.
 The subscription price of the Semi Weekly Republic is loo per year. The Republic Sunday Magazine s12 per year. Both papers are now being offered at the very low price of $1.50 for one year. To secure this low rate both must be ordered and paid for at the same time.

ENGLAND BENT ON WAR.

There is growing sentiment in this country in favor of the United States government profferiag its friendly offices to prevent war in South Africa. There would be no breach of international propriety in this, as 1t was agreed at The Hague peace conference that "the right of offering their good offices belongs to powers not connected with the conflict, even during the course of hostilities, which act can never be regarded as an unfriend- ly act"
 England would not be offended If the United States were to volun- teer to assist in arbitrating the diff ferences between the two countries, but she would undoubtedly decline the offer, as Spain did when MT. Cleveland made a similar proposi- ton to bring about peace in Cuba.
 The British government is de- termined to have its own way in the Transvaal. The chancellor of the exchequer of Great Britan has sanctioned an expenditure of SI5, GOO, ,Ooo in war upon the Boers, and when parliament meets S4O.- ooo, ,ooo more will be voted for the same purpose. The gold and dia- mond mines of South Africa are too valuable for England to keep her fingers out of them. When they become exhausted, if ever, the country will be abandoned and the Boers left to manage their af- fairs to suit themselves.
 The proffer of the friendly ser vices of this or any other country to prevent war in the Transvaal would have no effect at this time. England has made her demands upon the little republic and they must be compiled with or war will follow, and the victory will ulti- mately be won by the arms of the British.-Gazette.

James Parton Prediction.

In 1862, James Parton, the celebrated
biographical writer. made the following
prediction N regard to Abraham Lincoln:
History will say of Mr.. Lincoln that no
man of more genial temperament, q
more kindly nature, ever tenanted the
White House; that he gave all his time,
his thoughts. his energies. to the dis
charge of duties of unprecedented magni-
tude and urgency; that, hating no man,
he steadfastly endeavored to win the CON
fidence and love of all the loyal and pat
riotic, and that, in spite of four chequered
years of such responsibility and anxiety
as has seldom fallen to the lot of man,
he bore away from the Capitol the sunny
temper and blithe frankness of his boy
hood, returning TO minge with his old
neighbors as one with them in heart and
in manner, in retirement as in power a
happy specimen of the men whom Liberty
and Democracy train in the log cabin and
by the rudest hearth to guide the counsels
of the Republic and influence the destinies
of the people.
