would try to find place big enough

there was sprinkling of Americans.
Whenever this unfortunate made a
quick move, all the brave Spaniards
would vault the rear fence into the

But Paris and the French authori-

to place themselves on the lowest

permitting and patronzing real bull

graceful series of proceedings took
place at Deuil. The attractive pro-
gram spread before the audience
there included the slaughter OF six
bulls, in the killing of only one Of

of horses disemboweled; there was

EXPOSITION LETTER,
PARIS. FRANCE, July 8, 1900.

PARIS, FRANCE, July 9, 1900.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.
A few days ago spent an evening
at one of the foremost variety the
aires in Paris, the Folie Bergere.
The program which began well with
a most beautiful ballet soon fell
back into the regular succession OF
acrobatic performances, clowns,
soubrettes, and one act specialties
so familiar to the audiences of the
larger cities of the United States.
The climax ofthe performance every
one felt was to lie in the bull tight
announced we'll down toward the
end of the program.
When at length this number was
reached, the excitement of the aud

the stage cleared. A half dozen

deal of labor, heavy iron posts
and planted them firmly across the
front of the stage. Onto these as sup
ports, there were clamped tier on
tier of lateral bars, men working
from the inside and outside of the
fence. This enormous iron barricade
was bolted firmly together and rein
forced by stays from the side of the
audience. The completed structure
was 10 feet in height, and there was
some excitement when the last work
men left on the outside clambered
over the fence to regain the stage.
Meanwhile upon the stage semi

was arranged and above this bel

The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf.
After ESOp'S Fables.

There was a boy who took a job
of herding. He was real smart
boy, and as the days passed on, he
grew continually smarter. So it
came to pass that one day he had a
very bright thought to himself, Il
will have some fun. Those fellows
who loaf down around the tavern
are all retired farmers, and are not
nearly as smart as am"
The boy had been raised in town
by man who thought his were the
only children that ever came down
the pike and when they grew up,
they refused to go to school or do
ANYTHING else they should have done.
The man had moved to town to ed
ucate his children.
They received an education, but of
such character that it wasn't
available on the market. That was
why he was herding sheep.
When the shepherd had made up
his mind to be facetious, he said to
himself again, 81 will cry out wolf,
wolf. and when the old farmers
come running | will give them the
merry ha, ha."
And he did so. He cried "wolf,
wolf" and the farmers came run
ming with pitchforks and clubs and
weapons to destroy the wolf. But
when there was no wolf, how the
smart man, whose father had NOV
ed to town to give him an education
did laugh. He said in his glee, DO
you see any whiskers on the moon,
0 hayseeds; yokels, where did you
get that hat and all sorts of funny
things like that.
That was part of the education he
got by his father taking him to
town. But it was not all. He knew
some more things, SO he did not quit
when the laugh went his way.
But the next day, just as the farm
ers sat down to dinner, he cried out
once more, "the wolf, the wolf and

Mr.. Hanna must have smiled when
he read this. Far from denying it or

chiefest jewel in the Republican
crown.

the Courier. Journal, who bolted in
1896, has come back into the party
fold and is supporting Bryan this
year. He is only one of many gold
Democrats to realize that the Demo-
cratic party, at its worst, is still
better than the Republican party at
its best.

THE MARTYRS ANSWER.
R. D. LOVE


Call up the martyrs of our land,
The fallen of the past,
Who, foe-beset, on every hand
Blew freedoms bugle blast.
Ask these immortal shades austere
What present course TO take,
How they the ship of state would steer
What answer would they make?
Ask Warren, of the glorious dead
That fell at Bunker Hill,
Where Putnam to his yeoman said:
"Shoot low, and shoot to kl'
For home and freedom Warren gave
His precious blood that day,
Now would he struggle to ensave
The millions far away?
Ask Nathan Hale, immortal lad,
Who on the seaffod Spake,
Regretting but one life he had
To give for freedoms sake.
Would Nathan Hales bright sword be piled
To Stay brave men who stand
For that same cause wherein he died
The love of native land?
Ask Lawrence, who with whitening lip
And fast-expiring breath,
Cried "Sailors, don't give up the shipl
And died heroes death.
Would Lawrence fling his eolors out
And speed his prov aman
To join in putting men to rout
Mere land and loot to gain
Ask Lincoln, of heroic mold,
Long limb and drawn, sad face,
Gnarled hand, but heart of virgin gold,
The savior of a
Would Lincoln bid the strife go on,
To strike people down.
Who fought for centuries in Luzon
The hrelngs of a crown?
Nay, every martyr to the cause
That nerved our nations sire
If asked that question meier would pause
To answer but in ire
Would fling the bastard insult back
And make his good sword red
In blood of him who dared attack
The honor of the dead.

THERE WAS NO MURDER.
A False Alarm Sent from n Meadow
Street Restaurant.

About 2 o'clock Sunday morning a
telephone message was received at po-
lice headquarters stating that man
had been murdered at restaurant on
Meadow street. Sergeant Cook at once
sent the patrol wagon and detail of
policemen to the restaurant indicated
in the message. The policemen upon
arrival at the restaurant found that
fight had taken place there, but that no
one had been murdered. The fighters
had disappeared before the police arriv-
ed. Two young men and two girls had
been dining in the restaurant, and two
other men who entered the place had
made some remarks to the girls which
aroused the ire of their escorts A fight
ensued and one of the participants was
badly used up but had been hustled out
of the way of the police. The names of
the members of the party were not
learned by the policemen.

Delay In Ordering II Looked Upon ss

Hazleton Pa, Sept 9--The result of
the national executive board of United
Mine Workers, in session at Indianapo-
lis, in declining to declare a strike in
volving the miners Of the entire anthra-
cite coal fields until further efforts at
ccnciliation have been made, is taken
among the mine workers here as an in
dication of level-headedness on the part
of the leaders, and they are now conf
dent that the way Is open for bringing
about a settlement through arbitration.
although only few Of the many opera
tors who would be affected by strike
have agreed thus far to that PROPOSE
tion The operators on the other hand
regard the postponement of the strike
as meaning that the leaders do not vet
consider the anthracite field strongly
enough organized to force them to
grant the demands by the recent Ha-
zleton convention, and unless a great
change has occurred in their attitude
they will not arbitrate or make any con-

side, so that she was obliged to run full

an inside course. The TIDE was ex-
trenely low She was making her usu-
