REPUBLICAS HOPES IN UTAH.
The State Turning Against Bryan Because IL
Wants Expansion.

SALT LAKE. Sept. 25.-The present campaign
in Utah promises to be the hottest ever known
in the State. Four years ago the contest was
one-Sidrd. Republicans and Democrats Il
that timo were alike saturated with Free Silver
ideas and Bryan had a walkovcr or a total
vote OF s,Oi9, Bryan received G4'53j and Mchin-
Icy 1884, majority for Bryan, 5l,0jl.
This year it will be very different. and tho
betting on tho issue is about even, With prob
ably slight advantage in favor Of the Ropub-
licans. At tho special election in April last for
Congressman TO take the place made vacant by
the rejection Of Brigham II. Roberts, the Demo-
cratic candidate. Judge King was elected by a
majority of only "a little more than 1000. against
the Democratic majority in 1900 Of more than
$1,000. That IS an indication OF the change In
sentiment which has come over not onll lhlS
State but also the nrighbOrlng states OF Mon
taua, Idaho and Nevada.
Silver is regard ed rs no longer an issue in
these States. The mines are, all being worked
and are having we'll. Wool and sheep are
bringing very good prices. and live stock men
ara prosperous. Trade generally i good, and
there are no idle men in Utah to-day. TX
pansion IL more talked Of than any other cam
paign issue, and expansion here is popular.
The Pacific tOast states and those adjoining
them have felt the trad ges from the
Of the Hawaiian Islands. They have
already. noted tho increase IN The Philippine
trade since the occupation Of the islands by
Americans, and they think II will be 10 the adj
vantage Of this country and Of the Islands az
well for the Government to keep them.
The Republicans are well organized, and with
promised assistance from the Fast arc very con-
lleve that their tremendous majority Of 1890
can be swept away.

rambling essay that attracted my attention by

the Monroe Doctrine and application of IL. |
read II with wonder and thought. Can IL be pos-
sible that a grown man. who has enjoyed the
advantages OF our public schools, Is so wofully
ignorant oif the simple meaning OF that historic
document?
President Monroe's position. as have always
thought, was not one Of hostility 10 the pres
enCe OF European power In the Western Hemi-
sphere. IL was simply that the extension Of
that power should be REGARDED dangerou. 10
our peace and safety. Take. for Instance, the
presence OF Great Britain in North America

acquire any more territory In America.

ot the Philippines Is as remarkable as IL is
President Monroe was an expansionist Of the
truest type. II does not take q Constitutona

OF The Monroe Doctrine as he is Of many other
You will remember that one of Mr.. Bryan's

DIsRUPTION OF the DEMOCRACY.
The Party Apparently BEING Absorbed by IL,
Populist Allies.

The last Legislature in Nevada, one Of the
States carried by Bryan In 1890. had only ono
Democratic member There we're in both
branches 20 Silver Republicans, IL Republicans
and 4 Independents. otherwise Populists In
the Oregon Legislature. there were only 4 Dem
ocrats last Winter 20 90 Republicans and 10 Pop
ulists and Silverites. In the Legislature Of
colorado carried by Bryan In 1896. there were
30 Democrats 80 Silver Republicans, 20 Pop
ul'sts and 8 straisht-out Republicans. In Wy
orning' which Bryan carried, the Legislature
last wear was made up Of 81 members, OF whom
IS were Republicans and only o Democrats.
Wisconsin has long been known as one Of the
closest states in the Northwest. but in the last

THE JEWISH FESTIVAL
BEGINS NEXT SUNDAY

One of the two great Jewish annual
holidays-the Jewish New Year-falIs
this year on Monday, Sept. "a. In
accordance with immemorial custom.
the day will be celebrated in every
part of the world where there is col
ony of Jews. large or small, with
special religious services appropriate
to the day. The strictly orthodox
Jews take two days to celebrate the
New Years anniversary, and their
services will continue during Monday
and Tuesday, Sept "a and rs.
In all synsgogues, radical and
orthodox alike, the New Years cele-
bration begins on the evening previ-
ous-that is Sunday, Sept. % Nor
day morning all the synagogues hold
solemn religious services. The ritual
in the liberal synagogues is especially
elaborate for the occasion, although
many of the older literal observations
are omitted. The blowing of the
rams horn, for instance, which is a
feature of the orthodox cele bration, is
supplanted in the liberal congrega-
tions by choral responses from the
choir. In the reformed synagogues
there is usually a special sermon ap-
prnpriate to the occasion.
The Jewish New Years festival
msrks the beginning of the month of
Tishri-correspoDdin to Septem ber
October in the christian calendar. II
is also the first of the civil year. cor
responding to the seventh month of
the Mosaic, or ecclesiastical. year.
According to the Jewish reckoning.
the com Dg festival will usher in the
year 566l. The Distinguishing fea-
ture OF the celebration in all orthodox |
synagogues is the blowing of horns in |
accordance with the Levitical code. |
announcing the ushering in of another
year.

THE "HHNDOO CHARM"
How Boston Has Been Fooled by a
Smart Fakir.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Tin had a word to say a week and half
ago about the Hindoo charm known as the
"three-star ring good-luck box" which a
BOSTON man had been selling like hot
cakes at 80 cents apiece to rich and poor
all over the country. The United States
authorities have now stepped in to close
IN the business, charging Henry Parker
with using the mails to defraud Twenty
thousand letters were received at the Bos-
ton postoffice in two days addressed to
Parker each supposedly containing ~
cents. Hundreds of thousands of the
boxes have been sold. The cost Of each
is probably not over three or four cents
therefore handsome profit went to the
seller.
The charm, or good-luck box, is made of
poplar. turned down on a lathe to repre-
sent a pulley. or car wheel, two and
quarter inches in diameter and five
eighths of an inch thick. A space one
inch and a quarter in diameter and three
eighths of an inch deep is made in one
side, into which fits wooden plug having
a shaft that passes through small hole
in the other. Around this shaft fits, loose
ly the magic ring, which is made of an
nealed wire pressed at on one side to re-
ceive the impression of three stars. The
inside of the hollow is painted with gold
dust, and the entire box is covered with
a coarse Varnish
With each box Parker issued directions
for using. The ring must never be taken
out, and no one but the owner must ever
see it or the inside of the box. In eXhib-
iting the box to a friend you must hold
it in your own hand not permitting him
to touch il. The charm being construct
ed on the principle of human magnetism,
