Jones says: "I would suggest that elections should be quad rennial instead of biennial for all offices except legislative ot- fees. I believe that members of the legislature should be elected as at present provided, but that all other offices should be elected for four years, with the express provision that the governor shall be ineligible to succeed himself.

 A furious shower does not soak in so we'll as a steady rain.

 A double column advertIse- ment once a year is not 8 good as half-inch fifty-two times a year.

 The parallel is fitting.

 They don't figure the cumu- lative power of advertising. They believe one good "old soaker" is worth twenty "driz- zles."
 They don't realize that three foUrths of the water in an "old soaker" runs off, and finds its way into the gutters. Figure how much you are going to appropriate for adver Using in 1899.

NAVAL FAIR THE LATEST.
The Newest Idea In Entertainments for
Charity.

Charity.
Philadelphia Times: The
full, feminine mind, always so alert in
originating ideas for benefit entertain
ments, and in executing without pre-
cedent or prototype to pattern from,
has now another idea that certainly
has a claim to novelty as one of its at
fractions. This latest and newest idea
is a naval fair. Produced on a large
scale, the booths are to be constructed
in the shape of warships, and no end
of artistic ingenuity car be expended
In working out the idea.
In planning al affair of this kind,
the larger the interior that can be Sc
cured for the purpose the better. The
stars and stripes should be everywhere
as q decoration. The framework Of
three ships should be built by a al
penter, who is clever enough to usurp
the field of the ship chandler, in SO far
that he will produce effect without
much expense. Let the ships be as
large as the dimensions Of the hall
will allow, placing one on each side
of the room and at the end of the room,
opposite the entrance.
The rough framework of the ships
should then be- covered with white
cloth, if in imitation of the white
squadron, or with s~teelcolored cambria,
If realism is to be adhered to. This is
clearly a matter of taste, but the
white will assist the gaslight effect,
The entrance to the ship Is made over
a gangplank. Around the deck of the
ship may be arranged the tables con-
tanning the articles usually sold on
such occasions. A flag-covered counter
extending the full length Of the ship,
presided over by middies in sailor hats,
would prove effective. On the ropes
Of the rigging may be pinned house
keepers linens. The portfolios afford
such lucrative mysteries as fishing
wells and peep-shows. One OF the
ships may be devoted to the mess DON
and all sorts of edibles offered for sale
there. Another Of the ships may be
devoted to the sale of literature, and
anything Of a patriotic nature or bear
ing on the late war, such as pictures,
songs, books, may find an appropriate
place there.

Slightly a democrat, but II you'd give
me a position I'll guarantee that no
body will notice It,"
Cant do it," said Foster. ITO ap-
point a democrat would ruin me-"
"But you'll never get your $2,OOO,'
said Brice. "You might as we'll ask me
to make a star as to make that so, 900
with my law practice"
I'll tell you what I'll do" said Fos-
ter. IT am all tangled up with Hook
ing Valley on the New York stock ex-
change, and l want somebody to go
there and look after things. I'll send
you If you'll CO."
Brice jumped at the chance. Foster
gave him $500 and a lot of direc-
lions. and impressed upon him solemn
ly the necessity Of doing just what he
was told. If Brice had been a waiter
he would have taken your order aud
then brought you anything he pleased.
He would have used his own Judgment.
That's what he did with Fosters
Hooking Valley deal, but he clawed
off a $4,000 profit. whereas, If he had
done as Foster told him he would have
lost all. Foster was delighted, and,
like a good old man in a story book, he
gave the young nan 500, 900. Then
Brice went back to Wall street and
plunged.
Brice's greatest play was building
the Nickel Plate. He put in every dol
lar he could get, and from any source.
There came a time, too, when to save
himself from utter ruin, If not from
something worse, he had to sell. He
went to Vanderbilt, whose road the
Nickel Plate paralleled. Vanderbilt
gave him what low natures call :.the
laugh" He wouldn't buy the Nickel
Plato. He said he could afford to wait
for the first mortgage foreclosure and
buy 1t from the sheriff.
"If you don't buy 1t Jay Gould will"
said Brice.
ooh, no, he won't" said Vanderbilt,
and then he gave the anxious Brice
a second edition of "the laugh"
Brice then went to Gould. He knew
that Gould didn't want the Nickel
Plate, but he had a beautiful scheme
to propose. He wanted to let Wander
bilt in for the road, and he knew he
would buy it before he would allow
Gould to get it. Here came Brice's
strategy. He told Gould that IL he
would sit silent and not contradict.
neither affirm nor deny any newspaper
article to the effect that he was going
to buy the Nickel Plate, and after this
clamlike silence had continued for a
week. II he would then slowly ride over
the Nickel Plate in an observation CA
Vanderbilt would buy the road and
he would give Gould $500. 900.
Gould didn't care for the $500. 900
but he was a jocose Spectator, and IT
struck him that the whole thing would
be a majestic joke on Vanderbilt. And
that was the story of it. The papers
came out and said Gould was going 10
buy the Nickel Plate. Gould, when

Pneumatic Grain Elevators.

A grain elevator operating by ST.
ton has been tried and exhibited in
Great Britain. Air is exhausted
through the pipes which take in the
grain, and the grain is delivered by the
air draught through other pipes to any
desired place. Several pipes may be
introduced into a vessels hold, and
will remove the grain therefrom. An
automatic scales is part of the system,
SO that the grain is weighed during the
process of elevating and delivery.
Quite a complicated system of exhaust
ing and delivery pipes were connected,
and the plant worked to great perfec-
ton, delivering the grain to a number
of places with the one installation of
pipes.
