bicvcle riders, like all ether well

strange to hear. Eddie Bald'S title of

it describes his terrific start in his
races ana also fits in nicely with his
last name, Cannon Bald" being an eu-
phonious and suggestive cOgnomcn.

HuShie Duffy, of Boston, witnessed
the game between Allentown and
Scranton Wednesday. 1t is rumored
that Boston is after MCManus, Allen

to keep up his own in big league COM

Big "IiZzie" Fields is making good
this year at Philadelphia. and is play

a vim. In fourteen games he has
made twenty-three hits, including five
doubles, one triple and two home runs.
He is also fielding finely.

George Corey is batting finely for

the best fielding first baseman in the

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Decline in Cotton Is Rendered. Sem
sational The Wool Market
Healthy.

New York, May Pr. q. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say:
The decline in cotton was rendered
sensational by the failure of the firm
which had most strongly resisted it,
and for some months had led the cam
paign for high prices in the belief
that stocks for the rest of this year
would scarcely meet demands with the
next crop in doubt. The course of the
market for some months to come can
not well be predicted, as provision for
the future has been made by spinners
on both sides of the ocean.
The weakness in wool, as yet not
enough to prompt heavy buying has
hindered free purchase of goods with
out doubt. and there is of late some
what more complaint of cancellations
and of slow collections. But the mar
ket is waiting rather than unhealthy;
with quick adjustment to a lower
range of prices for material it might
soon become as active as at any other
time for years. The nominal price of
| bessemer pig is held without change
at Pittsburg and without transactions.
| Sudden and extensive changes are now
| ltpOlltu III ledlntf ana DOOlS anu
| shoes, apparently resulting from the
| unyieding refusal of many dealers to
place anything like their usual orders
| for the season at prices recently asked.
| Concessions are now reported of 2lA to
cents per pair in leading grades for
| which such reduction was not reported
| a week ago so that the general decline
| averages about per cent. The move
ment of breadstuffs have not material
| ly changed.

LAST DAY OF THE CARNIVAL
Immense Throng Is Expected at
Closing Performance.

The Elks' carnival and street fair
will be brought to a close with to-
nights performance. 1t is one of the
greatest entertainments ever given in
this city, as the thousands who have
attended will attest. and no one tan
afford to miss it. Many of the large
industries have arranged to give their
employees a half holiday this afternoon
to permit them to enjoy a full day at
the fair. An immense throng is ex-
Tected all afternoon and evening.
Yesterday was a record breaker in
the matter of attendance, II ,23S paid
admissions being recorded. In the
evening the crush was so great that
it was necessary TO open a second gate
at Poplar street and put on an extra
force of ticket sellers.
There is no truth in the story that
the carnival will be continued next
week. An effort was made to have
this done, but Mr.. Bostock, by reason
of his other engagements, could not
arrange to stay longer than tonight.

The great expense of attending the
marvellous Exposition now being held
at Paris, will keep the great mass of
people of America from personally
viewing the beautiful exhibits and ar
tistic palaces which have been erected

coed and excel any previous Worlds

human endeavor. The Paris EXPOSE

all that is worth seeing-the Palaces

from the deck of the engine to the top
of the cab when the accident occurred.
He was just about to step on the top
of the tender when the engine passed
under a low bridge, the latter striking
him on the head and throwing him
from the engine. He sustained an ugly
looking scalp wound and several
buses.
The train was stopped and Hughes
put on board and carried to Paterson,
where he is now being cared for in

CORNER STONE AT
FREDERICKSBURG
President Mckinley and Cabinet and
General Miles Witness Impressive
Ceremonies.

Fredericksburg, Va, May 25.-On the
very ground over which the old Fifth
corps charged at Fredericksburg, Pres
ident Mckinley, his cabinet, and Gen
eral Miles today witnessed the laying
of the cornerstone in a shaft which
will perpetuate in bronze and granite
the heroism of the army of the Poto-
mac. 1t was an impressive ceremony
and rendered the more so by the fact
that among the hundreds who wit
messed the event were noted leaders
of both the federal and the confeder-
ate forces. The monument was the
personal gift of General Daniel Butter
field, to the National Memorial asso-
citation. This in itself was a unique
feature. as the battlefield monuments
heretofore have been mostly the gifts
of corporate societies or furnished by
popular subscriptions. General But
tertield himself was present and as
sisted in the ceremony, but owing 10
i'll health, the committal of the monu-
ment to the secretary Of war was made
by Col onel Hill, one of the veterans
of the Fifth corps. The ceremony
was with due masonic rites and at its
completion Secretary of War Root ac-
cepted the gift in the name of the
American people. General Daniel Z.
Sickles was the orator of the day.
The visit of the president TO Fred
ericksburg was primarily in honor, OF
the thirty-first annual reunion of the
Army of the Potomac. The town was
in gala dress and turned out en- mssse
to receive its distinguished visitors.
The president and his cabinet Were
welcomed at the court house, which
was decorated with the national col
ors and the various corps flags of the
Army of the Potomac. Welcoming
speeches were made by prominent vet
erans from both sides OF the civil
war and afterward the president held
an informal reception at the home OF
st. George r, Fitzhugh, where he was
welcomed by hundreds OF the towns
folk, both white and colored.
At the close of the ceremonies the
presidential party returned to Wash
ington, but the reunion exercises or
the Society of the Potomac were con-
tinued at night in the opera house,
where addresses were made by num-
| ber OF veterans, including General Joe
Wheeler
