THE AFTERNOON PAPER.

The rapid increase in the circulation
of afternoon newspapers has surprised
many persons, but it will be readily un-
derstood by those who will consider for
a moment the evident reasons for it.
The San Francisco Bulletin puts the
case well when it says:
1.-THE day is ended. Fortunes have
been won and lost. Statesmen, soldiers,
writer's, Adventures have done the deeds
of the day; and night has fallen. The
news has been gathered by a marvellous
system from all continents and the far
corners of the earth. 1t has been sifted,
arranged, illustrated, commented upon,
printed and published, and is served hot
from the press, still palpitating, as it
were, with the action of the event re-
corded, interesting and startling with
the freshness and excitement of the pres
ent. Readers over their soup learn what
has happened in the wide world while
they have been busy, each in his little
round of duties, toiling in his shop,
arguing his case in court, earning his
daily bread. They sit at ease and read
at leisure. The evening is ahead of
them, and needed rest after the fatigues
of the daylight hours will cap it all
Fourteen hours later, while he bolts
his breakfast with one eye on the clock
and brain already busy with the cares
of the day, the morning paper is handed
to the citizens. If he has time to read
the headlines he is doing well. In the
night he has leisure to think of the af-
fairs of the human race; in the morning
he must think only of his private af-
fairs"
The afternoon paper is much more
closely read than the morning paper for
two reasons. First, because the morn
ing paper contains comparatively little
news that had not been given by the
afternoon paper of the day before. A
person who takes both will often be
struck by the fact that a great part OF
his morning paper is not news to hin
because it goes over the same grounC
that yesterdays afternoon paper covered
and he does not care to spend any more
time on it. The other reason is the one
so clearly set forth by the San Francisco
Bulletin, namely, the fact that the aver
age newspaper reader has so much more
leisure in the evening than in the morn
ing.
He can sit down at his home or his
Office and take his time over the after
noon paper, whereas in the morning
whether he gets his paper at his home o.
his place of business he is in too mucf
of rush to pay but very scant attention
to it, and if he goes back to it after bus
mess hours he finds that the Afternoon
paper of the day has put it completed.
out of date. These are facts which ar
being more fully recognized and acteC
upon by the public every day.-Atlanti

WRITTEN FoRrnE HkRALpI

Oft, when twilight shades are stealing
Der the hill top and the dell,
And | hear the silvery pealing
OF the sweet-toned vesper bell,
To my mind there comes vision
OF the closing hours of life,
When we're near the home elysian
Freed for e'er from mortal strife.
When our work il all completed
And the hours for rest at home,
oh! the JOY to mortals melted
Looking to heavens dome,
Listening up to the holy music
OF the spirits gone before,
Waiting for the asst sweet vesper
Which shall bid us weep no more.
Father, grant that peace and gladness
May be ours i'm life's last hour,
Past be all the pain and sadness,
Clouds of sin that ofttimes lower.
Having faithful been and loyal
Through the struggle of the dav,
When LIES vesper bells are ringing,
Grant there may be rest TO" aye.

Frank went to round them up he
found to his dismay that few hun

had been placed in localities where
he could not get a perfect view of
them. The cattle were all there, but
not the ones that Mr.. Swift would
like to see at his his abatoir in Chi

some food to the front gate when the

of aconite sitting beside it.
He took his usual dose and instant

taken the wrong medicine. Physi-
clans were hastily summoned and
everything possible was done for the
unfortunate man, but without avail.

Indians sue for Rights.

r. G. Adams, who for some time past
has had his headquarters in Kansas
City as the representative of the Del
aware Indian tribe, of which he is a
member, returned from the national
capital yesterday. His tribe and the
Cherokee nation are engaged in a
controversy that involves the title
to 157, 500 acres of land in the Indian
Territory. The land was purchased
from the Cherokees by the Delawares
in 1867, the consideration being s12I, =
s24, but the title TO the same has
never been perfected. In order to
accomplish this the Delawares some
time since filed a suit against the
Cherokees in the court of claims,
and il was in the interest of this suit
that Mr.. Adams visited the national
capital. The lands in controversy
are very valuable, and although oc-
cupied by the Delawares, were leased
by the Cherokees to the Cudahy Oil
company, which has demonstrated
that they are rich in oil and miner
ais. A protest has also been filed
with the Secretary of the Interior, in
which Mr.. Adams asks that the lease
made by the Cherokees be declared
void and that no leases be entered
into until the Dawes commission
segregates the lands belonging to
the Delawares in the Cherokee
nation.

The Hurricane Is Making q Free DIstri-
button of Itself

DuNtou OF AlSelt.
Washington, Aug 12.-The West
Indian hurricane tonight is rapidly
approaching Nassau. Bahama islands,
where the barometer has fallen con-
siderably since morning and the wind
had increased to a velocity of SO miles
an hour at $40 this afternoon. Rain
had been falling all day.
While there is still a possibility
that the storm may curve out to sea,
the officials believe that it will reach
the coast of Florida and that it's infiu-
ence there may begin to be felt by
morning.
Hurricane warnings have been
sent out over the state by telegram
and telephone and every measure
taken to put the inhabitants on alert.
The maps on file in the weather bu-
reau show the course which has been
followed by the August hurricanes
for the last 2l years, but there ap-
pears to be very little consistency in
the direction which they have taken.
The storm is now travelling much
slower than during the early
period of its existance, the total
distance overland having been about
u 200 miles. Its center now appears
TO be little southeast of Nassau.

Root as Peacemaker Puts MIIesIn Com
mand of Inspector Generals office.
New York, August IA special
to the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Root acted in the role of
peace maker, and as a result every
body at the war department is pleas
ed with everybody else. The delight
fully harmonious condition of affairs
prevailing in department circles was
brought about by the secretary's an
nouncement that the order respect
ing the statue of inspector generals
Office would be so modified that it
would be satisfactory to everybody
concerned. Now General Miles is
pleased, General Breckenridge smiles
and General Corbin is gratified. The
only man who seems to be a little
weary is the secretary himself, who
for nearly twenty hours today lis
tened to a learned discussion by
General Miles of the reasons why he
should have control of the inspector
generals department equally with
the secretary of war, and why he
should receive reports from the artil-
lery and cavalry schools as hereto
fore.
Upon the conclusion of this confer
ence the secretary listened very
carefully to General Breckinridge,
who is satisfied to remain under the
control of General Miles, and to
General Corbin, and the order as issu
ed will differ but little from that
under which the inspector generals
department has been conducted in
the past. Thus General Miles has
secured a victory over former Sec
retary Alger, and Secretary Root has
temporarily at lest, restored har-
mony.
