receives his check have known them to forget what names they gave in to go on their checks. Many of these men are very desperate characters, and late at night they sometimes give trouble to the trolley car conductors out about Powderly. But there are at least two conductors on that line who are as game as any men ever knew and they have almost civilized the toughel of the ruffiians. These conductors are bound to maintain order, and they do it coolly and eourageously, and they are al- ways gentlemen"
 It is astonishing. the frequency with which thoughtess or quarrelsome men raise little difficulties with trolley car conductors who obey the company's business instructions. It may be that conductors are sometimes rude, but it is exceedingly seldom; and should con- ductor show a passenger rudeness, the pas senger owes it to himself and to ladies, some of whom are always on the cars, to restrain his anger to thesextent of not mak- ing a scene. If a conductor be really rude and his rudeness be proved to the general manager, that conductor would be- most likely deprived of the power to insult pass sengers. But in almost every instance the passenger is wrong. A day or two ago man entered a crowded car in the suburbs, and refused to pay his fare, saying he had paid it on the previous car, which he had been obliged to leave. He had no sort of show ing, but maintained that he was right, and the little difficulty which resulted greatly annoyed some forty passengers, more than half of whom were ladies. The passenger was clearly wrong but right or wrong, he had no excuse for disturbing the other pas sengers. It was for him to report tine con- ductor

 "The government will sell one third-class cruiser to Ecuador and another to Peru and two torpedo boat destroyers to Japan.

Walter SchIet of Canal Commission
 Returns to New York.

New York, November 6.-Walter Schlect of the Nicaragua Canal Commission ar rived from Colon today.
 "I have been on the Isthmus seventeen months," he said, both of the routes have many advantages. Should the Panama route be chosen, two years work will be saved. I don't believe the Panama people will tin- ish the canal in years. Its estimated cost is $l00,000,000, while the company is spend- ing only about $1,OO000O a year. The cost of the new canal will be about Sl50 000, ,000."

deadly intentness in every movement. When the American soldier lies down to fire he does so with the intention of killing some body. Most troops fire not at the enemy but in the direction of the enemy. Not so the American.
 Each man drew his watchful breath slow
 taken tween the teeth:
 Trigger and eye and ear a-cock, knit brow
 and hard-drawn lips.
 That is a picture of the American soldier firing on his foe. But allied to their feline stealthiness the Americans in battle have a most reckless courage. At times they ex- pose themselves with a strange contempt for death. An officer will take chances no European would care to take. The field bat tery was generally to be found in places where no one read in tactics would have dared to put it. General Chaffee and his staff always rode where the enemy was most likely to see and shoot at them. Young and inexperienced correspondents were warned by older hands not to go during an action near prominent buildings, large graves or the American staff.

A Word to Young Men.

It is doubtless within the mOmOry of
hundreds of thousands Of young men
in this country that less than ten years
ago-+six or seven years ago, to be more
exact-the business world suffered a
stagnation and disaster the like OF
which had never before been seen
among us.
The panic of '93 was especially hard
upon young men. The elderly, who
had made their successes in life fairly
secure, those whose natural caution en-
abled them to look forward to such
terrible contamination and to prepare
for it, suffered less. The younger
men, having in some cases the enthu-
siasm Of their youth, having in many
others the well-matured plans of mid
die age before them, found that their
best-laid plans, their most Loyalty SUI
perhuman efforts, We're insufficient to
stem the tide against them. Many
failed. Many who did not fail fought
on, almost losing heart, but brayely
keeping up the struggle hardly know
ing why. Those who failed are mostly
on their feet again. Those who did
not, are .doing well enough" again.
All-and we repeat, there are hun
dreds of thousands Of them, take it the
country over-have cause to remember
the beginning, and, let us hope, the
end, of a financial and political policy,
or lack of policy, which literally doomed
tens of thousands Of them to bank
ruptcy, tens Of thousands of others to
despair, and ceaseless effort to recover
themselves, and yet tens of thousands
more to beggery-not hopeless, for that
is word unknown to the younger
business generation.
We do not believe that there is sin
gle self-respecting business man of the
rising generation who is going to per-
nit, or who is going to help to permit,
any such disaster to happen again. 1t
would mean dollars, in many cases
thousands of dollars, out Of his peck
ct. 1t would mean in many cases
that he could never recover his inan-
cial standing; for it is not always that
man can stand more than one of these
attacks. The younger generation, we
believe, learned it's lesson thoroughly.
1t will do better this time.

FINDS YouTsEY GUILTY.
Jury Assesses HE Punishment at Ina
prisonment for Life.


At Georgetown, Ky, Henry E.. Yout-
sey was found guilty by jury of muir
dering William Goebel. His punishment
is fixed at Imprisonment for life. At the
request of Youtsey's lawyers the judg
ment has been arrested until next Febru-
airy. By that time, if his mental condi
ton has not improved, he will be tried
for lunacy. In the meantime he is to be
confined at Frankfort, and in the mean
time, also, his attorneys will prepare an
appeal.
Perhaps never before in Kentucky was
an unconscious man tried for his life
Doubtless never before was verdict re-
turned against man who, at the very
moment the decision was being read, lay
in stupor, more dead than alive, and
with chances greatly against his recov-
cry.
The court room was crowded. but none
Of Youtsey's attorneys were present. The
prisoners aged father and number OF
other relations were in the sick room just
off the court room. The verdict produced
fearful scene, as they had been hoping
that the result would be acquittal. Yout-
sey was somewhat better Saturday,
though unable to make himself under
stood. He will be sentenced by Judge
Cantrill at the next term of court. A.
new trial will be asked for, and failing
in this, an appeal will be taken.

Prosperity in Porto Rico.

Many new factories, supplied with,
modern machinery, are being erected
in Porto Rico Tobacco culture has in
creased immensely, and the demand
from the United States is booming the
cigar trade. The coffee plantations
suffered from the hurricane, and many
diately repair the damage, but nature
has helped, and in localities where a
few months ago it was estimated that
the yield would not exceed 10 per cent
of normal, it is now conceded that IA
vorable conditions give a prospect of
40, so or 60 per cent.

What did ex-Secretary Olney do when

nothing. He said, when Attorney Gen

CHRISTMAS BOXES TO Go FREE
Gifts for Soldiers Serving Abroad TO
Be Carried without Charge.

UlftS Tor Soldiers serving Abroad to-
Be Carried Without Charge.
Christmas packages for American sol
dlers serving abroad will be transported
by the government free Of charge from
either San Francisco or New York. This
was done last year, and proved popular
Those in charge of the army transports,
however, SAY that senders of boxes should
understand that perishable articles, such
as fruit and plum buildings, and fragile
packages, such as preserves, should not
be inclosed.
Boxes should not exceed twenty-five
or thirty pounds in weight. They should
be plainly marked with the name, COM
pany and regiment Of the soldier, and be
sent in care of the superintendent of the
United States army transport service,
either at San Francisco or New York.
A transport leaves New York for the
Philippines ON Nov. 5, and will take
Christmas packages, but it will require
fifty days to make the trip, whereas the
voyage across the Pacific is shorter Ex-
press or freight charges should be pre-
paid to San Francisco or New York
Packages for soldiers in Cuba and Porto
Rico should be sent via New York.

The Army and Local Troubles.

The army has never been called upon
but twice in the history Of the country
to Interfere with rioting that followed
strikes, and then only after the re-
sources of the local authorities to pre-
vent trouble had become exhausted
Grover Cleveland, Democrat, sent
troops to Chicago in 1894, after the
local authorities had shown their tn
ability to cope with rfoting and John
p. Altgeld, then Governor, had refused
to call out the State troops.
Governor Steurenberg Fusionist) of
Idaho called on the Government for aid
to suppress rioting in Idaho.
That Is the record, and there is not,
as Mr.. Bryan says, growing practice
of calling in the army to settle labor
troubles

satter1ee and His Hogs.

Ben Satterlee, one of the prosperous
farmers Of Seminary township, in Fay
cite. County, Illinois, arrived in Van
dalia recently with thirteen wagon
loads of hogs, making procession of
no mean proportions. This was the sur
plus of Mr.. Satterlee's hog raising. At
the scales he found the weight to be
1850 pounds. He sold the hogs to
Fred Morrison of Ramsey at 5 cents
per pound. Mr.. Satterlee netted 1915
from the SALE The st. Louis market
reports for the months of May and
Including September, 1896, show the
average price of hogs in the st. Louis
market to have been $275 per 100
pounds, and the average market price
for hogs in the same market on Aug.
%, 1000, was $5.47. The difference be-
tween the average price for 1896 and
the market price on Aug. "a of this
year was $272 per 100 pounds, which
multiplied by the weight, gives Mr..
Satterlee $367.2O more for his hogs
than he could have got in 1S96--an-
other contrast in the prices of farm
products between 1896 and 1900, dem
onstrating that Mckinley was the lad
vance agent of prosperity In 1896.
When Mr.. Satterlee presented his
check at the bank, he was paid in Mr..
Bryan's 20O-cent dollars. and the cash
Ter handed him the money in gold. Z.
w. Russell, a neighbor, was present
and exclaimed: by gosh. Ben! Five
cents for hogs, paid In gold, is good
enough for US" The facts related ap-
