The entertainments by Smith ano
Gorton, in the star course OF St.
Andrew s Brotherhood, Monday and
Tuesday evenings, gave to the
patrons of that course something
which"many of the people of this
city probably have never before
been given an opportunity to wit
ness. The lightning pastel work OF
Mr.. Smith received many enconiums
and his changes of picture were
followed by applause, while his i'm
presentations of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and of Ebenezer Spicer, the
latter something which he himself
originated, were simply beyond COM
parison, and Mr.. Smith is likely to
always enjoy the distinction of hav-
ing few equals and no superiors in
these characters. Mr.. Gorton's i'm
personation of the Rev. DR.. Talmage
was simply superb, and in his read.
ings he appeared to advantage al.
ways interesting, sometimes pa.
thetic, sometimes humorous.

TO THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS.
Gov. stanley ProcIaims "FIag Day. to he Observed in the state
 When the Twentieth Returns

Chicago, Oct. 26.-A special to the Times-Herald from Topeka. Kas.. says:
 Gov. Stanley has issued the follow ing proclamation. addressed ito the people of Kansas:'
 The members of the Twentieth kansas, now at San Francisco. are eX- pected to arrive in Kansas Thursday, the 2d day of November. Their splen- did record in the Philippines, their manly department in camp. and their soldierly qualities in battle. have en- deared them tC the people. As the gallant soldiers of Kansas carried the flag to the front a generation ago in this country, so the Kansas soldier of to-day has carried the same banner in the forefront of battle in the Philip pines. Because of the valor of Ameri- can soldiers past and present, the flag is respected by more people to-day than ever before.
 T hereby designate the day of the return of the Twentieth Kansas vol unteers as flag day, and recommend that on that day the flag be displayed from all public and all private build ings: that all trains and street ears. omnibuses, hacks and private con- veyances be decorated with the na- uonal colors: that appropriate exer- cises be held in all the public schools.
 "l most respectfully invite all ed itors, ministers and teachers m our universities, colleges and public schools, state, county and city otfi- cers 10 use their efforts, and join in making the day one to be remembered by reason of expression of patriotism and good will"

THE STEEL RAIL BUSINESS.
Orders Already Received Insure. steady Business For the Rail
 Mills For Next Year.

Pittsburg, I'a., Oct. 26.-The Ameri. ican Manufacturer, ip its issue this week, says: Tt is understood that the mills making steel rail combined and notified the railroad interests of the country that prices would be ad vanced. and that the railroads could cover ail their wants at sS3 per ton. Nearly every railroad in the country came in with orders, and an aggregate of 1,500,0o tons of rails were ordered at the above price for delivery in 1900. The price was then raised by rail makers as follows:
 For standard sections. in lots from 100 to 200 tons. S37; carload lots, S3S, and less than corload lots, $40. Light rails, from 25 to 50 pounds per yard s37 per ton. All the prices quoted are for the Pittsburgh mills.
 The importance of this can scarcely be realized. The total sales aggregat- ing about S50.O0O, ,000. This means that about one-siXth of the total out put for 1900 will be consumed in the manufacture of rails. This does not include the orders placed by the Rus sian government, some time ago, to- gether with orders, which will make the aggregate tonnage in rails next year much more than has already been ordered. This fixes it beyond all reradyenture that prices of iron and steel for 1900 will be considera oly higher than prevailing figures
