GUGGENHEINIER. BORED AND WEARY,

LAW PRACTICE.

Acting Mayor Guggenheiner is thoroughly sick
of his Job, and will not be a candidate for any
city Office next fall. Some of Mr.. Guggenheim-
ers admirers, noticing the businesslike way in
which he has been discharging the duties of the
Office of Mayor in the absence of Mayor Van
Wyck, have suggested that no filter candidate
could be found for the Mayoralty than Mr..
Guggenheimer When he was asked about it

won't be much more of it.

London, Sept. l. a. m.-The immediate
result Of the latest American note was to cause
a sort of Ministerial conference to assemble
Yesterday Several members Of the British
Cabinet came up to London in haste, and held
. consultation on the Chinese question. The
Ministers included William ST. John Brodrick,
the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs; the
Duke Of Devonshire, Lord Lansdowne, 'Secre-
tary for War, and George Goschen, the First
Lord Of the Admiralty. Mr.. Brodrick and Mr..
Coschen were together at the Admiralty for
some time. and subsequently an active inter
change of kilograms took place between Down
ing Street and Lord Salisbury.
Whatever may be the official view Of the mat
ter it must be said that the Russo-American
proposal has been very coldIy. not to say un-
sayorably. received by the newspapers, which
I'm this case it is believed reflect the tone OF
the comparatively few people who understand
the subject. The position Of the United States
Government is understood, and all possible al
lowances are made for the difficulties Of Presi-
dent McKinley's advisers, who are anxious to
give no countenance whatever to the sugges-
ton that they are engaged on an aggressiVely
imperialist policy. Moreover, II Is Heely au-

A Woman's True Work.
II Is Not Her Mission in the World To Make
Money. But TO Make a Home.

"The work of woman in the world
is not to make money; but to make
home; her true business in life is that
of wife and MOTHER" writes San
American Mother" on ''Is a College
Education the Best for Our Girls?'
in the July LadieS' Home ./0wnaL
"That is true with regard to nine out
of ten of these pretty girls who are
tiptoefng about now in caps and
gowns, and cherlshing the fondest
hopes that they may some day be
learned Fellows and Deans. They
will marry perhaps, or remain single,
helpful sisters or aunts. They will
have houses to manage, marketing to
do, stupid cooks to guide, babies to
rear, sick children and men to nurse.
Not once in Woman's life perhaps
will she be called upon to quote from
an Assyrian Babylonlc epic, or to
dissect a cat. But three times every
day meal must be cooked under
her supervision. AT any minute, be
she cook or countess, she may be
called upon to make poultice for a
sick child, to change the sheets under
him, to know why the bread is sodden
and the meat uneatable, to give medi-
cine intelligently to the baby in her
arms. The college, be it remembered
takes the girl for four years out of a
family life in which this kind of train
ing would be given to her. Its con-
trollers, in their anxiety to develop
her brain as fully as that of man,
forget the woman's lite which is mex
orably placed before her, and do not
fit her for Its inevitable work"

When John Taylor Gilman, a men,
Der of Congress, visited the log houses
which chiefly constituted Saratoga in
its early history, he was accompanied
one day on hunting Ramble by a
young son of the woodsman with
whom he boarded. When they re-
turned to the cabin the boy enthus-
iastically shouted, "Oh, ma, we've
found a new spring!" "Who found
it ?" he was asked. Turning to the
distinguished lawmaker the little fellow
admiringly exclaimed: "Why, the
Congress !" And to this day the name
has clung to one of the most cele-
brated OF the springs which made the
place sanitary resort long before it
became the seat of summer fashion,

The Condition of Grain.
indications Point to Very Poor Crops OF
Wheat and Oats.

From present indications the year
of 1900 will be nothing to boast of SO
far as grain is concerned. There will
scarcely be an average crop of any
thing except possibly corn. But un-
less there comes an abundance of
good steady rain within the next few
weeks even that will not amount to
much.
This is due to no other cause than
the recent dry weather. Ifthe country
had been favored with the usual
amount of rainfall, instead of the pres
ent deficiency, the yeal would probab-
ly be record breaker for cops in
general.
The wheat Drop is without doubt a
short one, but in Pennsylvania it is
probably the best harvest for the past
two years. In this state the wheat
has all been cut and farmers are at
present busy hauling it in from the
fields
The oats crop will be by no means
full one. 1t is at present ripening
fast and will be ready for cutting in
the course of three weeks. Owing to
the lack of rain the straw is rather
short and the heads are not at all we'll
filled. In some places which have
been favored by local showers, the
fields have a toeraby promising ap-
pearance. In others the crop will be
an absolute failure and hardly worth
the harvesting.
OF the corn crop for 1900 nothing
is as yet certain. What it will or will
not amount to depends almost entire
ly upon the weather yet to come.
Thus far the corn seems to have stood
the dryness remarkably well and, if
there is sufficient amount ofrain and
if the nights are not too cool during
the remainder of July, reasonably
large crop may be expected.
Hay is unusually poor and will not
amount to more than half crop at
most, This is the worst showing for
years. Pennsylvania is If anything
worse off than the other states in this
respect. Timothy is bad enough, but
the clover is worse. There is no
doubt that hay will command high
price next winter.

Amos Ritter could be found if the
authorities of Northumberland county
would act. Not long ago a petition

but the authorities failed to act. Now
a half dozen citizens declare that they

there has been developments that are
reported to point quite conclusively
to several parties with certain proof
believed to be indisputable. The
people feel that the brutal murder OF
the old man, now three years ago,
should be avenged, and the fact that
they themselves are disposed to pay
for detective service is quite conclu-
sive that they believe the mystery can
be unraveled. 1t is said that an

Gently been found, There is re-
ward of $500 for the arrest and con-

the finger of incrimination at a resi-

teen ounces of silver to one of gold.
On this basis, it a certain amount of
silver can be coined into one dollar
the same weight of gold would make
sixteen dollars. Under our present
laws gold dollar weighs ass grains,
nine -tenths fine, and silver dollar
weighs 4Ia.5 grains. which is approx.
mately sixteen times as much. We
have the ratio of sixteen to one al
ready-the only question is whether
we shall allow anybody to bring silver
to the mints to be coined at that ratio
or whether we shall conhne the op-
