More Than He Uarrained For.

One evening when q travelling circus
was on its way to large town the
proprietor resolved to make halt for
q few hours at a village some two or
three miles from the town. So an
agent was sent Oh in advance to the
village to secure Il favorable field for
the rest by the wayside.
Noticing large and suitable field,
he sought out the owner and told him
he would like to turn something out in
the field for an hour or so before going
on to the town and concluded by ask
Ing how much he required for the use
Of the field.
"Well," said the farmer, II suppose
half Il crown won't hurt you"
"That," was the ready reply, Twill
do very well. But perhaps you don't
mind taking crown" an offer the
somewhat astonished yeoman was only
too glad to accept.
Fancy his surprise when, few hours
afterward, herd of elephants, doz-
en- dromedarics and about 200 horses
and ponies had not only been turned
out into the field, but were fairly wip-
ing the herbage out Of existence.
That the farmer was furious goes
without saying, but the circus proprie-
tor pointed out that he had received
twice as much as he had asked for
something to be turned out for an hour
or two.
"But," roarcd the farmer, more irate
than ever, "do you think bargained
for Noah's ark ?"-Tit-Bits.

skins and government kerseys all through the war. He made a great deal of money and dying in 1864, he l was succeeded by Isaac w. Smith, now | of Bridgeport. MT. Smith ran the mill very successfully till 1881. The rent he 1 paid was four thousand dollars, and the landlord would not make the repairs that he desired. Therefore, he gave up the mill and built another one in Bridgeport, which, with his sons, he is now running. The white mill has been idle nearly twenty years. It, too, has dismal, wrecked look.
 The shoddy mill was built in 1868, at the time when shoddy first began to be used in manufacturing, by Henry Ar
 thur At the death of Arthur, John
 Senior leased the mill and made blan-
 kets and yarn there. When his lease expired Senior went out of business and the place has now been empty for twen-
 ty-five years. The roof has fallen in,
 but the ITO let" sign on the wall looks fresh and new.
 Benjamin Rossiter, the civil war vet eran, has lived in Valley Forge sixty nine years. At Gettysburg Q ball went clear through his body, but he Is still hale old man, with a good memory. He once knew, he says, q man of eigh- ty-one years who remembered when the Valley Forge gun mill was in operation. It stood on the Chester county side of Valley Creek, and not g. Vestlge of it now remains. Flintlocks were made at the mill, and George Pawling has one of them, with the mills name cut on the stock. Mr. Rossiter's brother, P. K. Rossiter, has a smooth bore rifle among his relics which was also made at the
 mill. MT. Rossiter says that the flame of patriotism burned strong in Valley Forge breasts during the civil war, and that one hundred and thirty-three young men enlisted. The woolen mill, on this account, had to shut down.
 After the closing of the factories that had brought prosperity to Valley Forge the hands who had lived there moved away. The little town does not expect ever to be a manufacturing center again, but since public park Is to be established on it's historical camp ground, and since a trolley line is to run through it, Valley Forge hopes yet to be a more flourishing place than 1t was in the past. All it's inhabitants have collections of revolutionary relics, and the house where Washlngton's headquarters were is visited annually by eight thousand tourists.

THE STOCK MARX EFT.
A Reversal of the Speculative Position
 Tuesday,

New York, Dec. 5.-To-day's market
 somewhat reversed the speculative po-
 sition of yesterday. The early part of
 the day showed a continuance of the
 reactionary tendency. London took it's
 cue from the depression here yesterday
 and sold Americans, the offerings from
 the source amounting to 30,000 shares.
 The professional traders also continued
 bearish and sold stocks short. It be-
 came obvious during the course of the
 day, however, that there was no urgent pressure to liquidate The decline in
 prices brought no large offerings and
 the bears bought to cover their con- tracts and turned the market upwards
 The recovery was helped by strength in a few stocks. Whether the upward course of prices late in the day was due to any other cause than the taking of bear profits on the short sales which were invited by yesterdays weakness remains to be seen.
 The developments in the money mar ket, which is the true index of specua- ton at present continue against the re- sumption of active speculation. Call money rates went to 5 per cent. again o-day and the movement of currency to the interior continues unabated The rate of depletion is far too large to per init of any extensive credit expansion | by New York financial institutions and would not require a long continuance ] to force sharp contraction Of loans. | It will be remembered that in the period of repression preceding the election | bankers were practically unanimous In the opinion that resources must be con- served for the enlarged requirements of business after election But the out pouring of credits after election was on such a large scale as to overwhelm all demands and force an easy money rate in spite of the furious speculation which ragged for several weeks Now after enormous inroads have been made by such speculative commitments us well as by investment in securities upon available credits the expected demand for money is manifesting itself.
 The movement of currency to the in- terior, which has continued on a large scale now for the best part of a week, and the very large volume of interior bank clearing are plain indication of the active need for money through the country. An active money market is generally expected between now and the first of the year, after which the Janu- ary disbursements are expected to make for easier money. A loan contraction by New York banks seems, therefore, highly probable, and the effect on the stock market will be measured by the financial resources of those holding stocks A period of qutetude in specu- lation and g gradual liquidation of weak accounts is an important safeguard against such a situation
 The strong points in to-day's market were among the lowpriced minor stocks, the Fries, Peoria and Eastern,

 the Wabash stocks. the St. Joe and Grand Island stocks and others of that class being conspicuous. Atchison pre- ferred and Missouri Pacific were also strong, and Brooklyn Transit and the steel stocks were in demand. Sugar was very feverish and after rallying from carly weakness to about a point over last night it lost the gain again in the last few minutes of trading. Amal- gamated Copper had an extreme decline of A before showing any resistance, but then strongly recovered over half the loss.

A New Democratic PaDer.

Every since the st. Paul Globe de-
serted Bryan on account of the silver
plank in the Kansas City platform,
there has been more or less talk about
"a new Democratic paper in the Twin
Cities. Nothing has come of the talk
as yet but the Democrats are much
worried as it costs quite a chunk Of
money to establish a newspaper and it
is bound to be a proposition worthy of
serious consideration. 1t is estimated
that it will require at least 5000. 900 to
$500, 900 to put the enterprise on it's feet
1t is reported in Duluth that if the
Democratic state convention declares
for silver that the Globe will bolt the
state ticket. The Democrats are doing
/ no little guessing at the present time.
; 1T is now claimed, that an evening
daily of which H. L. Chaffee is to be
, managing editor, will be issued August

IT is reported that T. T. Hudson will

Nothing is too big or too small to es-

Quicksands are the traps she spreads

perhaps the dregs of some prehistoric

character, and in entire consonance
with the natures and purposes Of his
world-famed exhibition, Col. w. F.
Cody will give the residents of this city
chance to see the wild West and
Congress of Rough Riders Of the
WOrld,' on August II.
The main features which have gone
to make up the wild West in past
seasons have been retained, but in adj
dition there is much that is entirely
new. Among the new features are ty-
pical horsemen from Hawaii Filipino
warriors, and detachment from the
famous ROOseVelts Rough Riders who
will be seen as they appeared during
their memorable Cuban campaign. The
fight at San Juan will be presented and
enacted by men who were there and
fought, showing an accurate and real
lstic reproduction of the Spanish for
tifcatiOns. the field of action and the
march and bivouac preceding the fight,
with the heroic Rough Riders and hor-
enacting the valorous Deeds Johnnie
Baker and Annie Oakley will be seen
again in their remarkable exhibition of
Workmanship. The L. S. Artillery de-
tachment will again be seen and give
an idea of action in the field with can
non.
The different types of horsemanship
are revealed in the Congress Of Rough
Riders, and is made special feature
of the exhibition, serving to bring out
the styles of riding of different nations
The American Cavalry will give their
marvellous feats of horsemanship and
engage in spirited rivalry with repre-
sentatives from the armies of England
Germany and Russia; the Arabs will
astOund with their daredevil riding;
the cowboys ride bucking brOncos, and
the Mexicans amaze by their facile use
of the lasso. Colonel Cody will be seen
in the saddle at every performance and
demonstrate again his skill with the
rifle.
There will be the usual custom fol-
lowed of having a stree. cavalcade on
the morning of the exhibition through
the principal streets.
