JAS. A. ANDERSON, colored claim s
he was the only man who passed a
civil service examination for the
position OF night Waterman at the
Post office, which pays $40 year.
He and his friends feel aggrieved
at the way the colored applicants
have been brushed aside, and they
do not think they have been fairly
treated. Those who control the
Federal appointments IN this city,
think it would serve the purposes
OF the Republican party better to
appoint Nevin NJ. Clowney, who is
now doing his duty and will draw
his pay. Three coored men hold
positions in the postoffice, which it
is thought is fair proportion for
their race, and that they have no
kick coming TO them. The Repub-
lican party has always done its
part toward giving the colored men
positions wherever advisable or
possible.

THE cry in Delaware this year
will be "ll~ten to my tale Of woe. !"
Both part re thus afflicted and
there will b. ..l;ves unsheathed and
scalps taken. The 'outs" are hun.
CRY to get in, and the sins" want
xo hold on to the good things. Both
factions have their troubles, with
harmony tar out Of sight. The
MAIN question now with the Re-
publicans in Delawa re is which fac
ton will be recognized and seated
atthe Convention. No matter which
side wins, there will be dissatlsfac-
ton. If thew keep on fighting, the
Democrats will save them the trou-
BILE of fighting much longer. But
even the Democrats have two fac
tons in their party. Mr.. Addicks
is positive, as usual, that the Union
Republicans will be seated in the
Convention, while the Regulars are
just as positive that their delegates
will be the only ones recognized by
the committee. So there you are!
We shall soon know what has been
done with the snarl and who is who
in Delaware politics if President
Mckinley is reelected.

Of the mint to make for every calendar
year two Independent calculations of tho
gold product of the country and to take
their mean as the closest approximation
that can be had to the actual outturn of
the mines. The first of these is based on
the amount of gold put upon the mar
ket by private refineries during the year,
plus the fine gold contained in the unre-
fined Of domestic production deposited at
the mints and assay Offices of the United
States plus the pure metal Of domestic
production contained in ores, copper
matte, ETC., exported to other countries
for reduction. The second calculation is
based on the known deposits made of the
newly produced gold in any calendar
year. Such gold is either deposited at the
mints and assay offices of the United
States, or exported from the United
States in the form of bullion, ores, cop
per matte, or used In the industrial arts.
If foreign gold bullion enters into any
of the above items, it's amount must, OF
course, be deducted.
AS to the production of silver in the
Urited States during the same period,
Director Roberts says:
The United States still occupies the Sec
ond place as a silver producer, to Wnlch
it was relegated by Mexico In 1897. In
1898 it produced 1,693563 kilograms; nne. ne
with a commercial value of $32, lie, 4UU
against the Mexican production Of ], ,765, JIG
Kilograms, fine, with a commercial value
of $S9, AIS, 400 Together they produce, 81
per cent of the world s product. NO other
country approaches them, the nearest be-
ing Australasia, Bolivia and Peru. The
product of the last two Is somewhat un-
certain, but none of the three exceeds S74,-
400 Kilograms.
The silver product of the United States
In any given calendar year is estimated
in. precisely the same manner as the gold
product, namely by making two inde-
pendent calculations of the same and TAX
ing their mean as the actual product.

GRIZZLY CAN RUN.
A Good Horse Finds 1t No Easy
Thing to Keep Up With Him.

Good Horse Finds 1t No Easy
Thing to Keep Up With Him.
Washington Post.
Some people think that grizzly
can't rum said A. ]. Daggs, Of Phoenix
Ariz., who is a visitor to the national
capital. II want to state right now that
while the bear is clumsy beast, he can
cover as much ground as the average
saddle horse, and a man should be sure
that he has good mount before he
tries to get out of the way of one which
is angry. My brother was out in the
mountains of the territory among the
sheep ranches one day when he saw,
about 25O yards ahead Of him, big.
awkward silver tip. My brother had q
rifle, but he was not certain that he
would kill the bear If he shot, and he
did not know how a race would turn out.
He was mounted on one of the best
horses in the country, for a man needed
one in those days. He knew that the
bear would not fight unless wounded or
cornered, and he thought he would like
to see how he would run against his
horse.
He was pretty certain that the bear
would run from him If he could once get
him started in the opposite direction, and
so he gave regular cowboy yell The
bear looked up, and started shutting off
toward the mountain, about a mile and
a half away. My brother spurred his
horse and lit out after the grizzly, at the
same time keeping up the piercing
'Yeep-yeep' of the cowboy. The bear
soon got into the running, and the way
he got over that ground was a caution.
My brother saw that the brute was get
ting away from him, and he urged his
horse to the utmost, but he did not gain
ten yards In the whole mile and a half.
! That bear numbered along with leaps
equal to a greyhound, and his pursuer
did not have chance to cut him out
from his retreat.
"I went over the course the next day
to verify the story, for it sounded fishy
to me- found that the bear had made
Jumps from fifteen to twenty feet in
length, and that the ground had been cut
up by his claws so that it looked as if a
harrow had been run over 1t. For that
reason l would advise no man to try
a foot race with a grizzly.

DYING BY INCHES.
Ossifcat1on Slowly Turning This
Mans Flesh to Bone.

Ossfhcat1on Slowly Turning This
Mans Flesh to Bone.
Philadelphia Record.
With death slowly approaching In the
shape of complete ossiflcation, Charles
H. Conrad, of No. 1918 Cabot street, Is
now passing the tenth year of his con-
finement to bed, and during this time he
has been subjected to the most excruciat-
ing pain and unable to move any Of his
muscles except those of the eyes and jaw.
Favored with the constant care Of de-
/ voted nurse this man of thirty bears his
incurable infliction with fortitude.
For years this disease, known as rheu-
matoid arthritis, has baff1ed the science
of the medical profession. From a rheu-
matte affection Of the bones Of the leg,
induced by exposure and complete ner-
vous breakdown, the disease has gradual
ly increased until the bones Of the upper
and lower limbs are now as rigid as stone.
The malady Is rare chronic infiamma
ton Of the joints, which, as it progresses,
involves a degenerative change in the
muscles, resulting in rigidity and deform-
ity. Medical science is unable to effect
cure, and the suffering man reclines i'm
movable on his bed, stoically passing the
time in smoking a pipe and reading, and
awaiting the inevitable end, when COM
plete rigidity shall take place.
In Conrads case the disease has so far
progressed that every joint of the body is
dislocated, and the jaw once partially
locked, Is now open about half the nor
mai distance, so that nourishment can
only be taken with difficulty In this
way life is preserved, but the muscles of
the stomach now show signs Of change,
and when paralysis seizes this portion
of the body death will enSue. .5s 90,
Conrads arms are turned toward his
body, and his legs, greatly detected and
emaciated, are more rigid than the upper
limbs. Five years ago the physicians de-
cided that the disease could not be cured,
and now Conrad's only relief Is the ad
ministration of some narcotic when on
damp days the agony becomes unendur-
able.
When Conrad was stricken with the
prolonged disease ten years ago in the
form of an attack of nervous prostration,
the muscles in all parts Of the body at
cnce became affected.
For a year, though suffering great pain,
he was able to move about the house, but
shortly afterward the muscles of the
arms and legs became completely locked.
The jaw then became locked, and had to
be pried open, and has since remained
partly opened, but only by reason Of con-
slant use.
Though rigid and parafyzed every por-
ton Of Conrads body is sensitive to the
slightest cold, and during damp weather
the pain is extremely severe.
Choirs from nearby churches visit Con-
rad occasionally and crafty his strong
desire for music: but most of his time is
spent In reading and smoking. > Thus
situated, he has passed his years of pain
in comparative solitude.

While the wheat market for a time gave
promise or growing stronger, losses are
recorded at the various grain centers of
the country for the week just closed The
dlHerence in prices is not great, averaging
below cent. AT Minneapolis the. close
Saturday was at Csc, while the previous

while in New York Saturdays closing
ngures We're 737sc, as compared with 74hc
the previous Saturday. Various factors
We're responsible for athe changes noted.
Primarily, the demand was not up to ex-
pectation. There was no disposition on
the part Of the bull element to sustain
strength or advance prices, and until
more interest is shown there Is little
chance for change for the better
CORN AND OATS.
Features Of the corn market are
strength that is not usual when wheat is
receding, and a steadiness that prevents
falling off in prices. Corn may be classed
as about steady and unchanged, though
In better shape than at the close of the
previous week. Export demand has been
fairly heavy, and there is every indication
that corn will hold It's own so long as
there are no developments that are in the
direction Of a reported oversupply or di-
minutfon of the foreign demand.
Oats, like corn, have lost none Of their
average strength the past week Business
has been fairly active, and the market is
in an encouraging condition
STOCKS RISE AND FALL.
Stocks cannot be classed as strong, and
yet there is nothing alarming In the con-
dition Of security dealings. IndustriaIs
suffer most when declines are started,
though railroads have risen and fallen
with too much regularity to please the
outside dealer. In fact, the stock market
has been largely professional the past
week, and for that reason has been of the
1uctuating order Money is easier, and
the bank statement Saturday was favora-
BILE. Talk of the taking of gold by London
has almost ceased, and there is no longer
apprehension in that direction. Funds
are coming back from the interior, and
the outlook is for improvement rather
than further disturbance in financial
circles
