 wares.
 T dare say every great invention, be- fore it is finally hit upon," remarked a New Orleans lawyer, has been within hands reach of dozens of men who were unaware how near they stood to fortune. There is nothing more singu- lar in fact than the way people can skate around some huge idea without seeing it. When the foreordained fel- low comes along, grasps the practica- bility of the thing and reaps the reward of perspcacity, the others who have been so near and yet so far feel some how that he has interfered with their vested rights. Lots of famous lawsuits have grown out of those conditions. But it is certainly exasperatng to realize that you have stubbed your toe on genuine gold brick and then were fool enough to walk off and let some other chap pick it up.
 "I had an experience of that kind once myself It occurred to me that a re- volving bookcase would be a handy thing for office use, and l had one built to order. It proved a success, and on several occasions I thought vaguely of having the device patented, but dis missed the scheme as not worth while. Nearly two years afterward more in telligent up in New England did what l wouldn't do, and to-day he is rolling in riches I have been obliged to buy one of his cases since, and I never hated to give up money so badly in my life. Sev- eral other instances in the same line have come under my personal observa- tion.

TORTH SOMETHTNG,

The negro is becoming valuable In some parts of the South. Not valuable as a voter, or as a man and brother, but valuable as laborer. The negroes in Louisiana appreciate the situation there and decline to work except at the highest wages, walking away with "maddening indifference" when their demands are not complied with. Wages have been forced up for 'rousters" on the river boats from the usual rate of $60 per month to $75 and $100, and even at these high wages the captains have difficulty in making up their crews. The consequent delay in loading and unloading the boats has become serious and the wharves are piled high with freight. In addition to requiring an in crease in wages, negroes insist that forty-fve men be employed to do work that was formerly done by thirty, so that work for which an employer form erly paid $1,S00 a month now costs him $4, 800
 Similar reports of the scarcity of ne- gro labor come from other parts of the South. It is to be hoped that the ne- groes will not have to be lynched be- cause they will not work for low wages.

4 LOFTY APPEAL FOR TOTES.

l In his speech at the Armory in this city Saturday MT. Bryan said: I an willing that every man who feels that he is enjoying his fair share of the wealth which he produces, and who de sires that present conditions shall con- tinue as they are--I am willing that every such man shall vote the Republi- can ticket, if I can have the vote of every man who feels that under present
 conditions he is not receiving his fair share.
 If MT. Bryan can get the vote of
 every man in this country who is dis contented he will have an abundant en-
 trance into the White House. And if he
 can make them all contented after he
 gets there, and can show them that he
 did it, he will be kept in the White
 House as long as he Is contented to stay there. It is a lofty appeal to the
 voters which MT Bryan thus makes.
 He doesn't exactly promise that if 
 elected he will make everybody content ed and will abolish death and taxes,
 but he might as well make the promise as to say what he does. If MT. Bryan isn't too modest to vote for himself he will of course add his own vote to the vote of the discontented He isn't large producer except of words, but he is trying to better his condition, as many of the discontented are. He says, in effect, vote for me and then you and will be contented with our share of the good things that are going. It is a generous proposition. Let's vote for Bryan and have the full dinner pail and whatever else we want. He "a ather looks down on the full dinner pail, though perhaps that is because he hasn't been hungry lately. But those who vote for him shouldn't despise it. It is a good thing, and they will need it to make them fully contented, even if MT. Bryan feels that he can do with out it.

This is the report which United States Consul McCook at Dawson makes con- corning conditions and prospects in the Yukon district: The output of gold has been increasing in spite of the fact that the average values of the gravels work ed have been steadily declining, the richest mines having been worked first However in the meantime the cost of working has been decreasing, which en- ables properties to be worked that would not have yielded profits in 1897 and 1898. There should be continued output of from fifteen to twenty mill lions a year for many years to come, if the expenses of working are further reduced.

The question as to whether the child

The question as to whether the child ren of deaf persons are likely to be deaf has been carefully investigated recently by Professor Edward A. Fay, and an important monograph on the subject has been published by the Volta Bureau of Boston. Professor Fay has considered carefully the data afforded by statistics of over 4,500 marriages of deaf people in the United States, and his research is looked upon as the most conclusive proof yet advanced that there is no inheritance of acquired characters, so far at least as the in heritance of deafness is concerned. Professor Fay shows that if the deaf people who marry do not have deaf relatives, the marriage is no more like ly to result in deaf children than the marriage of ordinary people, while the marriage of hearing persons with deaf relatives is just as likely to result in deaf children as marriage of the deaf.

Judge Beitler of Philadelphia has ruled that election officers must file copies of their voting checklists in the Prothonotary's office. The voting checklist, which has for several years been buried in the ballot-boxes at each election and consigned to the vaults under the city hall, under order from the city commissioners, affords the surest and easiest way of discovering fraud and securing punishment to the perpetrators. It is estimated by the Philadelphia Ledger that if the fullest effect of the new order is availed of. the decrease in what would have been 8 predetermined majority may amount to 0,000 voters or more.
