MARK HANNA CALLED OFF.

Mark Hanna's career as spell
binder" has been cut short by no less
an individual than William Mckinley.
For the first time in the campaign it
is said Mckinley has found it neces-
sary to interfere with his campaign
manager in any way. But Hanna in
a few brief efforts was having such
disastrous effect among the working
men and farmers in Indiana, Illinois
and other states where the trust is
not admired that the presidential
candidate found it necessary in the in
terest of the party, not to say any
thing of himself, to interfere and call
off Mr.. Hanna's dates as "spellbind-
err much to the disappointment of Ma
tional Chairman Jones of the Demo-
cratic committee. AS a result Mr..
Hanna will devote his undivided time
to the management of the contributed
campaign fund where, in his opinion,
it will do the most good.
The main cause of the trouble was
MIR. Hanna's speech in Chicago in
which he made the statement, Il do
not believe there is trust in the Unit
ed States" From all over the country
kilograms and letters of protest pour
ed in on the president against such
foolish statements. even though made
by THE Boss" and Mckinley could
not let them go unheeded however
much he approved Marks assertions.
AS consequence Mark Hanna was
told plainly that he must make no
more speeches without first submit
ting what he is going to say to rigid
censorship and that he must not at
tempt to make the Dakota and Ne
braska trip he had planned under any
circumstances. AS a matter of fact
Senator Hanna was n little dubious
about attempting to make any cam
paign speeches until Perry Heath and
Congressman Landis of Indiana urged
him to speak at Delphi. His reception
there appealed to his vanity. The fiat
terry of the Republican papers turned
his head and he was induced to make
second trial before the Commercial
Mems Club at Chicago at a MONDAY
meeting. There was where he got into
trouble. He believed that it was up to
him to say something about trusts
and he did so with a vengeance. He
launched forth in a challenge to Mr..
Bryan to tell him what a trust was
and then followed with the assertion
that there were no trusts in the coun-
try and finally concluded this phase of
his address with n bold statement that
the only trusts he was aware existed in
this country were the cotton bail trust
and the ice trust, which he said Ger.
tain Democratic politicians were sup
posed to be interested in.
Democrats all over the country will
regret Mr.. Hanna's downfall as spell
binder.
But we still have Teddy Roosevelt
and Senator. Stewart left.

why Hanna Is Worried.

Rochester Herald; One of the chief
causes of Mark Hanna's uneasiness,
which he makes no pretense to con-
ceal. is the possibility that New York
will 70 Democratic. In Maine and
Vermont there have been changes of
10 and 20 per cent during the last four
years in favor of the Democracy. That
was in states where no concerted ef-
fort was made to reduce the conceded
Republican plurallties. In New York
n change of less than ! per cent will
throw the state into the Democratic
column. With organized effort
throughout the state 1t is not to be
denied that the chances OF Democratic
victory are bright enough to be visible
to the naked eye. Mark Hanna, Mt all
events. has experienced no difficulty in
discerning them.

GROWTH OF COMBINES
GRAIN DEALERS IN A TRUST
AGAINST FARMERS.
Latest Monopoly Is Conspiracy to Rob
.Them of Their Proit-HaS Far-Reach-
ing Eject = Contracts Are Already
Signed.

P. E. Dowie. member of the execu-
tive committee of the National Demo-
:ratic Travelling Mems association, and
Of the Commercial Travellers Anti
Trust League, arrived in Chicago yes
terday. He has just completed an ex-
tensive tour of Missouri, Nebraska and
Iowa.
Il have recently discovered" said
Mr.. Dowie, "a gigantic conspiracy to
rob the farmers of the country. This
latest product of monopoly includes in
its mem bership about 600 big grain
dealers and elevator men in the terri
tory extending from st. Paul on the
north to Kansas City on the south,
including the states of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas.
'"All the 900 and more members OF
shis newest thing in trusts are pledged
TO buy grain at one and half cents
low, that is below the cash price, and
70 store for not less than one and
half cents profit. The association en-
cheering the scheme is to fix the SELL
ing price. Forty per cent of the profits
are to go to the association. the bal
ance going to the dealers who are par
ties to the swindle.
Have Signed Contracts.
Grain dealers in the sections where
the trust is at work have been in
duced to sign contracts and a regular
system of inspection guarantees
against cutting prices. Grain stations
are established here and there. and at
each station the trust has an agent
who has authority to inspect the books
of any member of the association. A
membership fee of $50 is charged. A
fine of 500 is imposed if the agreement
is broken, and $50 is charged for re-
instating a member who has violated
any of the terms of the pact
On its part, the association guaran-
tees the grain dealers, who enter into
the agreement, protection from changes
In the ownership OF elevators where
they may have their grain stored. If
an elevator attempts to break away
or to run Independent, they guarantee
to have its supply of cars shut off, so
that it cannot ship grain to market in
opposition to the trust.
Promoted by Republicans.
Since l discovered the conspiracy; a
few days since, have been collecting
information concerning it. l ascer-
tanned today that the promoter and
organizer of the trust is an ardent Re-
publican and superintendent of one of
the largest elevators in the country
'The practical workings of this COM
bination to rob the farmer are not diff
fcult to see. By getting all the grain
dealers of a community enrolled as
members, it is impossible for the farm
ers OF that section to sell to anyone
outside the trust or to ship their grain
away. They must stand the loss of a
cent and a half bushel on the price
of their grain in order to find a mar
ket. ] am not ready to give the names,
but will do so soon"
1t Is said that the new movement to
compel the farmers of the states men,
toned to accept less than the market
price to realize on their crops had it's
inception in Chicago, and that several
of the big elevator men and grain deal
ers are interested in it.

HOTTEST OF THE YEAR.
In the Matter of Torridity Yesterday
Broke the Record--Regis-
tered 1O2 in the Shade.

There are certain persons who have
a very pernicious habit of saying to
their friends upon very warm days.
'Well, this is the hottest day of the
year. with a very pronounced accent
on "the." These certain persons had
their innings yesterday, for 1t certainly
was, beyond the shadow of a doubt,
q red d-hot scorcher of the very reddest,
hottest and scorchiest kind, and the
record breaker of This year and of
many years past.
The sun started to get in his work
in the early morning at o'clock, the
thermometer in front of Phelps drug
store, which is generally considered
to be about the most reliable one in
town, and which is always in the
shade registering 81 degrees. At noon
| it had crept up to 95 degrees, at 2
o'clock it was 81, and at o'clock 1t
| was up to 9S degrees, which was the
| highest registered during the day and
which was certainly high enough.
From o'clock on it began to cool
| off, comparatively speaking, Of course,
| for there wasn't a moment when 1t
was cool III the true sense of the word.
| At s o'clock this same thermometer
registered SO degrees and after the
sun had sunk in the golden west 1t
came down to 50 degrees, at which
| figure it was stationary nearly all
night. cooling off a little just before
midnight, when there was little wee
bit o. q shower, accompanied by a
vivid electrical display.
There was one gentleman, who Is
generally pretty veracious, who said
he could beat Phelps figures all hollow,
and who announced that the thermom-
eter at Clarke Brothers, in West
Scranton, registered 102 degrees In the
shade about 2 o'clock. and there were
several others who told of registrations
! running from 98 degrees to 102.
The day itself was one of those still
quiet, heavy and soul-depressing hot
days, with not a breath of wind blow
ing to ease off things for a moment
| The humidity was, as q consequence
rather intense, as every man, woman
and child in this big city realized.
Men could be seen on the street by
the dozens carrying their coats or
their arms and walking along with
all the glory of their negligee shirts
revealed to the naked eye.
Somebody ought 10 invent a mans
shirt waist" said one overheated mar
yesterday as he reached up and
mopped a pint or so OF perspiratior
from his manly brow. "The womer
can go around as cool as cucumbers
while we poor fellows have to veal
our coats or throw all established rule!
to the winds and appear in our sus
penders, just as I'm doing now. Blu
some savior will arrive in the nea
future, I'm sure"
1t is a most remarkable fact that II
this, the hottest day Scranton ha
seen in many years, there were M
heat prostrations. Taking the intens
fly of the heat into consideration thi
was truly remarkable.
The thermometer at the Delawar
and Hudson station registered 9S de
grees in the shade at 4 o'clock yester
day afternoon.

ENTERTAINING A MARQUIS.
First Time Scranton Has Been Thus
Honored.

Scranton has a real, live marquis for
a visitor. We have had counts, mostly
Swedish and German, who have been
interested in steel working and kindred
amusements, but this Is the first time
we have been honored with the pres
ence OF n marquis. He is French, and
is by name the Marquis DE Goliere, al
though he is not thus registered at the
Jermyn. and is averse to notoriety and
attention from a curious public. He Is
young and good-looking, and i5 not
dependent upon his lineage for a repu-
tation, being by profession a cartoon
ist, whose work is well-known in I.e
Figaro and other famous journals.
The marquis is travelling with his
mother, Madame lie Goliere- Davenport,
the leader Of the physical training cult,
which has attracted such a following
In New York and Boston on this side
and in the principal cities of Europe.
She is by birth a Russian, although
belonging to the colony Of exiles who
fled to Geneva, Switzerland, for refuge,
her father, a famous general, being
condemned to Siberia, where he died.
She Is probably the greatest authority
on fencing and physical training in
general in the world. She was for
nearly quarter of a century the
friend and teacher of the Empress of
Austria, the story of whose tragic life
and death has touched so many Ameri-
can hearts, and she has been welcomed
and honored in not only places of high
degree abroad, but in many of the most
exclusive homes in this country.
Madame Davenport bears letters from
distinguished Americans, from profess
sors of the greatest colleges in the land,
to leaders in social and club life and
the wives of prominent statesmen. She
is an apostle of health and beauty, and
In the light of her long experience and
careful study with the most celebrated
specialists, objects to drugs and cos
metics in the building of a perfect
body. That the methods she employs
are proved to be what they appear Is
made evident by the classes she has
during the winter, which, as every one
knows who reads the metropolitan
papers, were the fad in New York socl-
ETY. last season, as we'll as among the
members of athletic clubs and kindred
organizations.
In personality, Madame De Goliere-
Davenport is most fascinating. She is
probably the only woman under one
hundred who is pleased to tell her age.
1t is sixty-nine, and she looks not more
than forty. The most paralyzing fact
which she confides to her friends Is
that she is the mother of eleven grown
up sons. 1t was in the rearing of these
boys, and the anxiety to have them
perfect specimens of manhood, that
she began the study of health and
physical and mental training. They are
| all professional men, several being uni
versity bred, and all occupying i'm
portant places in the world. She is a
woman of high accomplishments, being
a finished musician and speaking many
| languages. Her English is charming
to a degree, and her sincerity and
frankness are exceedingly attractive.
This afternoon Madame Davenport
will give a talk on her methods to q
number of guests In the parlors of the
Jermyn.
