The Stock Market at the beginning of
the new week was strong and fairly ac-
tive. Prices advanced IN nearly all parts
OF the list. but particularly IN the special
ties that were active last week. The
buying seemed TO be largely for manipu-
Iatlvc purposes, however, and 1t could not
be said to be OF great Importance as an
indication OF what viii be the course cI
the market during the week. The pres
ence of Mr. Bryan in New Ork this week
will bring TO the front the political situa-
tion, and as usually happens, viii tend

TANNEHlLL WANTS DAMAGES.
SAYS He Had Dates For Three Nights
at the Grand.

Frank TanEehiil, jr., has instituted
suit in the district court against Dick
p. Sutton and the Dick p. Sutton The
ater to recover judgment for
$1,000 for an alleged breach of contract.
The plaintiff is a theatrical man and
is at the head of a play called IA Young
Wife" which was produced at the
Grand opera house in this city two
nights a few weeks ago. In his COM
plant Tannehill alleges that he had a
contract to play at the Grand four
nights, but when he arrived in the
CITY the time was reduced to two nights:
that the contract was entered into with
Mr.. Sutton on September 30, n the
dates on which the play was to be pro-
duced were October 10, II, y and 13.
He further says Manager Sutton re-
fused to allow him to play IN the 18th
and 18th; that by the action of MIR.
Sutton he has been damaged in the
sum of $1,000. Charles r. Leonard is the
plaintiffs attorney.

CHURCH FAIR
CLOSED TODAY
LADIES OF THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH WELL PLEASED
J WITH THEIR SUCCESS,

Barring a dinner today, ali extra
feature on the programme, the Presby-
terrain church fair has been ~relegated to
the historic page, and the record will be
anything but one of failure.
A supper was served last evening at
the fair, indicating that the ladies who
had the affair in charge can turn their
hands to other things than identifying
a pavilion and disposing of wares. Moth
ing was too good for the hundreds Of
persons who attended the fair and con-
tl4euted toward it's success. When the
tables We're all crowded the large hall
presented a pleasing scene. At the table
! where tickets We're sold for the dinner
more than 5000 was taken in and the
various booths prospered proportion
ateiy.
There are many of the ladies' who be-
lieve that the bazaar and meals served
during the course of the fair will net
about $500. The less sanguine. however,
think the total will fall below this
figure.
The concert furnished on last We'd
nesday evening netted the sum of $50.
while the flower garden added to this
amount about 500. The concert feature
is recommended by the aides to the
management of other fairs of a similar
character.
The candy booth was more thar or
dinarily successful, and when the re
turns" came in from the ~fortune-telling
booth the ladies evinced keen satisfac-
ton. 1t was at this booth that Mrs.
Johnstone and Miss O'Donnell presided
and practiced the art Of reading the
palm.
From 1880 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. today
q lunch was served at the Auditorium.
Turkey and roast pig was on the menu.
This lunch marked the end of the fair.

more effective speakers generally give
their services to the party from sense
of loyalty and because they know that po-
litical promotion lies that way; but near
ly all draw expense money and the ma
jority, pretty poor speakers as a rule,
draw salaries; not large individually, but
sometimes almost treasury breaking in
the aggregate.
All these departments employ type
writers and stenographers, and clerks and
messengers in numbers. Many of the
clerks are employed because of political
pull, but the stenographers and typewrit-
ers get their jobs on their merits. Wom-
en- typewhiters are seldom in evidence at
committee headquarters.
OF course money in wads aud rolls and
bags is needed to keep the committee de-
partments mentioned and others, Of
which there is no room to speak, in OPP

cry national campaign committee is the
treasurer's office. How he gets his cash
nobody but himself ever knows in full,
and there is no doubt at all that he and
his collectors-more often than not po-
litical stars of the first water-are driven

and the like. Opinions differ as to the
value OF such things in the getting Of
votes, but committees always spend thou
sands, sometimes hundreds of thousands.
in this direction.
Most committees buy campaign songs
pretty freely, and it is agreed on all
hands that a taking composition set to
stirring music is mighty good invest
ment whether the poetry is very good or
not. The poetry sent to the committee
and it arrives at headquarters in whole
sale quantities daily-is generally in the
form of songs. 1t need hardly be stated
that most of it is written by persons who
have never learned TO sean their lines and
have little idea of rhyme.
Leaving out the chairman and possibly
the treasurer, the functionary in charge
of the speakers bureau sees more grief
probably than any other committee off
ciai, and his department is one of the
heavier committee expenses. There are
always hundreds of real and alleged ora
tors in touch with the committee The

In sense, the press bureau" is next
in importance to the chairmans head
quarters, since through it the reporters
and correspondents are furnished with
such news as the committee wishes to
give out This bureau, however, is only
q small part of the committees maehin-
cry for the distribution of correct political
gospel. The bureaus relations are p,di1-
ly with the Geographic news associations,
the metropolitan papers and the special
correspondents. The country journals
are fed with political news through the
medium of the big ready-print publish
ing houses and the concerns which sup
ply plate matter" copy for the ready
prints and the plates being furnished by
an editorial staff employed especially for
that purpose.
But both press bureau and ready-print
matter departments sink into insignih-
canoe compared with the document"
mill. 1t is the function of this depart
ment. which employs writing and edi-
torial staff of its own, to compile, print
and distribute the leaflets, the tracts, the
pamphlets. the handbooks afJ the post
tiers which campaign committees invaria
bly, and perhaps rightly consider of such
vast Importance. They have big job
on hand, as will be readily understood
when it is known that in 1892 the Re

In this connection 1t may be interesting
to note the expenditures Of the fighting
departments of the Government during
recent years. In 1896 the expenditures
of the War Department were $50, $780,
920 in 1897, S48,950, 267; in 1898, SCI

ing June 30, lSD. they were S229, S41. =

present fiscal year the expenditures were

ditures Of the Navy Department were

There has been an annual deficiency in

the war revenue act produced a revenue
of S102. 600 900, and that the returns this

estimates that at the close Of the present
fiscal year, on the 50rh Of June. the re-
ceipts from the war revenue act will be
