An Early Fall.

That an early fall is dated for go, there
is little doubt in the minds of the farmers
Already the feeling of frost is in the all
and the nights are getting colder But
these are not the only signs, says the far
mer. The crops this year have been earliei
than they have for several seasons. Huck-
LIBERTIES, always late, were picked this
year before blackberries were in market
Potatoes are ripe and ready to dig and
grapes are already becoming a common
sight in the markets. Even the water
melon ripened unusually early this year
while the canteloupe or muskmelon, home
grown. have been in market so long that
the time of their maturity has been for
COTTON.
The only things that are holding off
are the field corn and punkins.
Another fact that is very noticeable on
account of its being SO unusual this early
in the season, is the conveying of quails,
strong coveys whirring out from under
your feet already, as you stroll among the
stubble fields.
All go TO speak for the correctness OF
the farmers'prediction OF an early fall.

pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreadful disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength BY
building up the constitution and assisting

powers, that they offer one hundred dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

The phonograph n Hayana.

Havana is taking on some of the as
poets of an American town. The phon-
ograph man has appeared In the Prado,
his pockets stuffed with cylinders
scratched in the United States, and
every evening his sputtering instru-
ment is hedged in five deep by penni-
less crowd, watching the capitalists
with the rubber tubes in their ears
and listening for stray echoes of the
jerky tunes. The hardest worked s're-
cord" of them all is "There'll Be Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight"
which by reason of its popularity with
the army bands at Santiago, is counted
by Cubans and Spaniards as much one
of our national airs as Hail Columbia
or the 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
The buttonhole edition of the Stars
and Stripes has an immense circula
ton in Havana. The Cubans them
selves wear it more than their own
single star. AS yet there is no display
of the American colors in the shops
though one merchant in Gaiiano street,
whose sign before the war was two
crossed American flags painted on his
wall, has freshened up his pigments
and marked all his wares in American
dollars and cents.
There are other and unmistakable
signs that the Amer icanization of the
city has begun. In street and shop
you meet men by the score who insist
on sIluttering unintelligible Ollendorff
at you by way of delicate attention
Most of them have mastered the the
DRY of American notation but they
make sad work of the individual num-
erals, and in the end they fall back on
their native tongue. This leayen is
working, however, and the tourist will
find his way made easy for him. Even
the beggars have scented prosperity
from afar and demand "ti cents"
where before they gave you blessings
for copper. In minor way the ap-
pearance of the street-spanning an
nouncements of bargain sales, the re-
crudeScence of THE Broadway" the
"Unted States Bazaar" and a dozen
more shops with like prophetic names.
the revival of Milwaukee beer and
American cocktails and the eagerness
of tailor and shirtmakers to get hold
of American models are all significant
of the coming change.

two IS the number of dead. Two men
were rescued at O'Clock this morning,

man, and Michael Knish, Pole. After
Knish had recovered from the effects
of the suffocating black damp he said:
Il was working on the fourth cross

that went to sleep and somebody came
and woke me up and took me out of

That was the total measure of his
period of consciousness He had lain
in the cool depth over eighteen hours
and had not the least conception Of this
