A short time since twenty-five buy
ers. representing the same number OF
departments in one OF Chicago's de-
partment stores. arrived In New York
city at the same time. 1t was stated
that not only was this the largest num-
Der OF department buyers ever sent to
the New York market at one time by
this concern. but that It was the larg-
est number OF buyers ever sent to New
York for the purchase OF goods at the
same time by single firm during the
entire history OF American retail mer-
chandising Apropos OF this event. the
son OF one Of the members Of the firm
represented by these buyers said In
conversation with reporter:
Every trade condition In Chicago
and throughout the West is indicative
OF a more prosperous fall season than
has been experienced for many years.
These evidences OF prosperity are not
confined to any single branch OF com
mercial industry, but seem to cover the
entire field. We have enjoyed a period
of unprecedented activity this summer
In every department OF our establish
ment, and the statements OF business
associates in Chicago Indicate that
these conditions are well-night univer-

which Do You wnnty

The Mckinley crobber') tariff, en-
acted by Republicans. brought pros
perity to our country. The Wilson tar
in, enacted by the Democrats. 'for rev.
enue only" brought us hard times,
disaster in business and a general de-
preston throughout the country. The
Dingley Republican protective tariff
again brought prosperity to our homes.
So Republicanism and protection
mean prosperity happiness and con-
tentment. while Democratic laws for
revenue only mean want, desoiation
and hard times.

Buyinr BETTER Goods.

Merchants all over the country arc
reporting through the medium OF
newspaper correspondents that not
only are their customers buying more
goods but also that they are buying
better goods. A St. Paul. MINI.
merchant said. for instance: Women
who last year were buying 25-cent
stuffs for shirt waists and dresses are
now getting dollar materials" 1t is
the buying Of higher priced goods
which In part swells the volume OF
traao for 1899 beyond that OF 1898. 1t
is the better quality OF goods which Is
represented by these higher prices
which In large measure marks the ad-
vantage which the people of the coun-
try will have In 1899 beyond that
which they had in 1898.
Last year the prosperity which came
in with protection was OF sufficiently
great proportion to give to all the peo-
pie Of the country who were willing to
work all the necessities of life, and In
many cases to settle up the debts con-
tracted in tariff reform times and to
make them square with the world.
The additional year OF prosperity, of
increasing prosperity. since then, has
meant such an increase OF money that
the luxuries OF life. in quality as well
as in quantity and variety, have been
brought within reach.

Tin Pint. prIoes.

Every one knows that tin plate has
advanced considerably in price within
the present year. The Democratic the
orists claim that the advance In the
United States is due incidentally to the
tin plate trust and primarily to the
tariff. 1t being their theory that a
protective tariff is a promoter OF
trusts.
Now let us look at the prices which
the Welsh tin plate manufacturers re-
ceiye. They now obtain $l.45 a box
more than they did in January last
This Is greater advance than has
been made In the United States.
We respectfully ask our Democratic
friends to explain this. II the protec-
tive tariff and the trust caused the ad-
vance in the prices of tin plate In the
United States. what caused a greater
advance in price in Wales. where there
Is no tariff at all? We pause for reply.

Chicago, Oct. "a special to the
Chronicle from Webster, Iowa. says.
William Jennings Bryan is n danger
ously sick man tonight. Friends who
have spent Sunday with him at the
farm OF Fred F. White. Democratic
candidate for governor OF Iowa. three
miles from Webster. are afraid that
Mr., Bryan may have to temporarily
abandon his campaign work, not only
In Iowa. but In Kentucky and Ohio.
When Mr.. Bryan awoke this morning
he complained about his throat and
lungs, but said that he had suffered
from n similar allment once before
and that II had yielded to treatment.
Great crowds OF farmers from all
over Keokuk county callc at the
White farm to see Mr.. Bryan during
the morning and afternoon, and al
though he tried hard TO remain out
doors. his physical weakness mastered
his courage and he had to retire several
times TO his room. A local physician
who was called In tonight to treat the
invalid recommended a long term of
absolute rest and quiet.
II Is understood tonight that steps
will be taken by interested friends to
cancel Mr.. Bryan's engagements,

FIGHT ON A STEAMER.
Passerg gers Have Row on Board an Ex-
cursion Boat.


cursion Boat.
New York, Oct. 0.-The Philadelphia
excursion steamboat Georglana, which
went out to the cup race Saturday re-
turned to this city with the American
flag hosited with the Union down.
As she passed the Battery, the cap
tain sung out to the police tug that a
mutiny had occurred on board and
that four or five persons had been
killed and to come Immediately. The
police captain nt once called num-
ber Of policemen together and started
of with the tug after the Georgiana,
which was making for Pier @, North
river
Chief of Police Devery, as soon ns he
learned of the trouble on the Georgi-
nna. sent several platoons Of police to
the North river pier. where she docsed.
As soon as the captain OF the Georgi-
ana was assured of police protection
the steamboat made up to Pier 4.
North river. and began to make fast
there.
The passengers on the Georgiana
who attempted to land at the pier were
dubbed back by the police, but one
man dropped Into n rowboat and land
ed at Pier 8. This passenger, who re-
fused to give his name, said that the
Georginna had been chartered by an
organized gang OF Philadelphia and
New York gamblers. He said gamb-
ling games were running on one deck
and no attempt was made to reach the
race course.
The Georgiana dawdled along to a
point of Coney Island and then slowed
up and 1t was quite evident to all the
passengers that they were on n
gambling boat instead OF on pleasure
steamer, whose objective point was the
yacht race.
The passengers then waited on the
captain and demanded that the vessel
should proceed to the race course or
that their money be returned. This
appeal proved unavailing and a riot
ensued During the melee several were
badly beaten.

The refusal OF some ultra fashionable
London hotels to receive ut dinner
guests not arrayed In what is conven-
tionally known as evening dress"
raises some interesting questions. The
legal issues involved Will presently be
determined In court Of justice. some
Of the excluded persons having begun
suits on the ground that licensed
public house is under obligations to en-
terrain any guests who are of decent
dress and demeanor. There certainly
seems to be a moral obligation to the
same effect 1t is true that the courts
and general opinion sustained a hotel
recently in rejecting guests clad in an
outlandish and Offensive manner. But
to object to those who are merely wear
ing after 6 o'clock the same clothes
decent and even fashionable-which
they wore before that hour, and who
thus do not conform to an arbitrary

establish a new philosophy OF clothes

serves.

THE CUBAN BREAKFAST.
It Is the Most Bountiful Meal In the
Day-The Courses.
philadelphia Record

MatanZas-The Cuban cuisine is dis
tinctively Cuban. In all other things
an existence in the West Indian islands
America, but in the matter of food
Cuba is decidedly original, and every
meal is highly Favored with genuine
spice and the spice of variety AS in
all parts of Spanish America, desayuno
(of bread, with coffee and chocolate),
is brought to your bedside in the morn
inS. Breakfast proper, served in cere-
mOniouS courses between the hours OF
IL and 2, is the prominent meal of the
day. In Cuba it invariably begins with
eggs, in one form or another; either
boiled, fried or en- tortilla Can onelet).
Even French cooks are outdone by the
Cubans in multitudinous varieties CT
omelets. They are compounded with
chopped ham, kidneys or meat of any
kind; with tomatoes, rice, peas or pep
pers, potatoes and fruit, with lemon,
cinnamon, sugar, wine, mushrooms,
fish, oil, what not, and they are always
delicious. Rice is invariably served
with eggs, and about ninety-nine times
in a hundred tomatoes and red peppers
are stewed with the rice.
The second course is fish, of which
there are as many kinds and ways of
cooking as there are many men of
Bmany minds 1 never tasted badly
cooked fish in Cuba, and at the poorest
table the fried fish is sure to be regu-
lar chef d'oeuvre, done in olive oil, a
beautiful golden brown, and without a.
suspicion of grease about it, served
with sliced lemon. For boiled fish
there are delicate sauces, the best of
which are compounded with tomato OF

salsa tomato" A Cuban entree, which
finds favor with most Americans. is
the land crabs (camerones), found in
all parts of the island, and superior to
the hard and soft shells of the Poto-
mac
Next to the fish comes sesos (sheep's
brains). fried in oil or fricasseed, and a
much more appetizing dish than 1t ap-
pears on paper; or calves liver boiled
or stewed; or kids head, laked en-
tire; or giblet stew; or hash of any
thing under the sun. Very appropri-
ately, fashes are called peccadilloes,
small SINS" and at least one or two
are served with everS meal. A hash of
rabbits and tomatoes. for instance. or
of pigs feet and cheese, or of chicken
and rice, is not at all objectionable. if
you only know of what your small
sins consist Having thus disposed of
prelminaries, you now come to the
substantial part of the breakfast. First
