4uay's Tour-Extensive preparations
are being made in Washington for the
Hon. Matthew Stanley Quays forthcoming
tour OF Pennsylvania 1t has been decided
10 extend the tour over a period OF FIVE
weeks. which viii take it up to election

Quay is TO COnfine his perigrinations Who'll

West Chester next Monday evening he will
so schedule his route as to avoid the large
cities Of the State He viii be aCc0mpan-

viii fall the burden OF the spelibindins.
The party viii not travel in a special train
On the contrary they will take the ordinary
local trains so that they can more easily
come in contact with the people whom they
want to affect. But they will not tray-
el entirely by rail. Their intention
is to traverse the country In
conyeyances as may come handy for their
purpose. Colonel Quay has never made a
tour like this before, and some of his
Warmest friends are dubious of the wisdom
of the innovation in his methods OF cam
paigning, for a curious reason. They con-
tend that very small proportion of the
people with whom Quay will be brought in
contact on IElS tour nave ever seen MIN
and naturally the masses will insist upon
him making a speech wherever he stops.
Now, the Quay voice is not adapted to out
door speaking, and it is. feared that when
the rural folks learn this they will be sore
" disappointed in their famous leader-so
much so, indeed, that many of them VIII
think him unfit for the Senate. StiIl, Col

that he made a clean sweep there and this

emies apparently are aware Of. They say
that he is now on the road to victory, and

MONEY ORDER BUSINESS.
Auditor Castles Statement shows
Large Increase.


Auditor Castle. for the Postofice De-
partment, finished today the tabuiated
statement of the money order business of
the country for the fiscal year ended June
so, 1900. The statement exhibits a re-
markable increase in the money order busi-
ness. and taken In connection with the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the postal serV
ice proper, not yet accurately ascertatned
shows that the transactions of this great
institution are rapidly approaching the
billion dollar mark per annum.
During the fiscal year alluded to SO. 163,
$50 money orders were issued in the United
States. The average amount of these or
ders remains about stationary from year
to year, being $40 for the year under
consideration
The total transactions of the money Or
der system. as compared with the previous
year, foot up follows:
Money orders issued S224 a5S 1853 81 $3.50 OF 90
Money orders paid. 2I7 594 ,99I OF 249, 2s5 81
Total ........... 442 As, 1864 % 504.7e 1913 50
This shows an increase in one year Of
S62, 300, ,949.5S. or over IA per cent. This is
the largest increase in amount and in per-
centage that has ever occurred in the his
tory Of the postal service.
Owing TO inadequate clerical force in the
bookkeeping division the trial balance OF
the postal service proper may not be taken
off in the Auditors Office for ten days or
two weeks. The Auditor estimates the to-
tai receipts and expenditures for the fiscal
year 1900, of the postal service at $210,
064 1889
The grand aggregate of money transac-
tions of the postal service including the
money order system, will thus be approx
at ~,
four years OF increasing national pros
perity.

NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Carlisle Emerses. - The Hon, John
Griffin Carlisle at last has declared him
self At a meeting of the LAWYERS Sound
Money Club in New York yesterday Mr..
Carlisle was elected president. If he
made a speech accepting the place, in
which he took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to advise other people how to vote,
no record is made of that interesting fact.
It is supposed, however, that Mr. Car
Isle Will be heard from later in favor of
Mckinley and Roosevelt. Whether his at
titude denotes the position of his former
chief Mr. Cleveland, is not known 1t is
said that the relations between Mr.. Car
isle and Mr.. Cleveland are not as close
as they are generally believed 10 be. II
this is true the conduct Of one will have
no effect upon the conduct of the other
1t is contended that if Mr.. Carlisle were
going to make speeches in Kentucky,
where he is presumed still to WELD con-
siderable influence, news to this effect
would have been heralded with loud trum-
peting ere this. Kentuekians are divided
in opinion as to the influence their once
distinguished citizen now has in their
State. The Biuegrassers are very proud OF
their Commonwealth and do not Under
stand why anybody who once enjoyed citI-
Zenship among them should transfer MS
allegiance to another. part of the Union
For this reason it is considered as not i'm
probable that Mr.. Carlisle has SO complete
ly alienated himself from his former al
mirers that ne could accomplish no good
fer his cause if he should go to Kentucky
now 20 make speeches for the Republicans.
1t will be recalled that even while he was
still citizen of the State he was received
with scant courtesy by the kentuckians
when he took the stump against Bryan in
the last campaign. If he should go there
on a proselyting mission as a seif-exps-ri-
ated Keutuckian it is believed by many
people that he would do Mr. Mckinley
more harm than good At the same time
it is thought that Mr. Carlisle may be in
duced to make speech or two for the Han
na ticket in New York, and it is suggested
as a possibility that he may be. put for
ward to reply to the great speech made by
the Hon Carl Schurz at Cooper Union last
night. As an analyst Mr.. Carlisle has not
his superior in the United States. and it
may be that the Mckinley managers wilt
need his services to Gounteract as far as
possible the effect of Schurz's attack upon
the Administration,

The ST. Paul "Friend.''-Muchs spec
ulatfon is being INDUCED in as to the iden-
tity OF the st Paul friend" upon whom the
Hon. Mark Hanna claimed to make mys-
terious call in Wall Street the other day.
II will be remembered that Mr. Hanna,
when questioned by the reporters on the
mission of his visit to the Street" told
them that he had gone there. not to see j.
Pierpont Morgan, but to keep an appoint
ment with a gentleman from the Mime
sofa capital. Forthwith the reporters
went on a wild goose chase for James j.
Hill, the great railway magnate of the
Northwest, who is about the most distin-
guished citizen of St Paul known to be on
terms of intimate friendship with Mr..
Hanna MIR Hin could not be found in
the metropolis for the good and sufficient
reason that he was not there. When last
heard from he was stocking his fine yacht
at Duluth preparatory to sea voyage by
way of the Great Lakes and the St Law
renee. It is supposed, however. that Mr..
Hill has authorized somebody to protect
his interests in the campaign. and that 1t
was this person Mr. Hanna called iron IN
Wall Street Mr. Hill is very yitally con-
cerned over the Hanna Payne ship subsidy
scheme, and as was demonstrated at the
last session Of Congress he is willing TO
contribute literally to the Mckinley cam
paign fund if he receives proper assur-
ances that the success OF the Republicans
this year Will Indefinitely postpone the
construction OF the Nicaragua Canal and
at the same time secure the passage of
the Hanna Payne Ship Subsidy bill.
In view of the probable capture of
the next House by the Democrats, fr-
irrespective of the result of the Presi
Dental election, it is reasonable TO infer
that before his agent made a contribution
20 the campaign fund Mr.. Hill secured from
Mr. Hanna a positive pledge to force the
Ship Subsidy bill through the closing ses-
sion Of the Fifty-sixth Congress at all
hazards

A THIN DISGUISE.

1he cutie fish has a tricky habit Of
covering his tracks by exuding an inky
fluid which discolors the water and keeps
him out of view. There's a good deal of
the cutie fish about some advertise
ments, notably those purporting to offer
medical advice by a woman to women.
An examination of the advertisement
will show that no offer of a doctors ad-
vice Is really made. And all the clamor
about writing to a woman" is merely
raised to divert attention from the fact
that a doctors advice is not really offered
and cannot be given. The real question
Is not OF writing to a uoman or a man
but of writing to a doctor,
For the advice of an unqualified
woman is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.

Yesterday was a day OF more than
ordinary interest in the trial of Hissom
". Hissom, in the Circuit Court, Judge
Hervey. During the morning session
the plaintiff called several witnesses,
among them DR.. Hissom himself, and
then rested the case. Counsel for de-
tense at once moved to exclude plant
ifs evidence, and was promptly over
ruled.
The first witness of the day was
Frank Cruise. His examination was
short. He was followed by Norman
Sutor, of Woodland. who testified to
the visits of the Hissoms to that place.
Mrs. Eliza Howard, of the same place,
told Of a visit paid to her by DR.. His
som. last summer, for a few days. His
father was there with the Doctor on
one occasion. The two men had a
talk. There was no c~ross-examina-
ton.
DR.. S. K. Hissom was then recalled
to the stand and was asked about the
conversation with his Uncle David.
Odd you not tell your uncle that
you had these papers sealed up in a
can and labeled tomatoes? A
No, sir; you have the thing mixed.
Q.-You have told the jury that
your uncle wanted you to arrange a
compromise? A.-No, sir.
Odd not you and S. G. Smith try
to talk him into compromise. and
didn't you and your uncle sit on the
river bank and talk it over? A.-No,
sir. Uncle Dave is a farmer and when
he is in town he wants to sit down on
every stone he sees, and when he sat
on the river bank 1 talked to him, but
told him l was going to get married
and it wa too late to talk about a
compromise.
Q.-(By Mr.. Howard)-Didn't you
tell Mrs. Truax the same thing about
the scheme to get your fathers mon
ey? A.-No. sir; / have not spoken
to Mrs. Truax except to grunt at her
when she would speak to me-.
Q.-(By Mr.. Smith)-Now, Doctor,
what was said by your Uncle Dave
about the big fees John A. Howard
was trying to work out of his side Of
the case?
Mr.. Howard objected, but the ques-
ton was allowed.
A.-Well, Uncle Dave said father
spoke of the matter and said he would
rather settle with me and pay me
what John Howard would take from
him.
The Doctor said there were other
things spoken of.
Q.-(By Mr.. Howard)-Your uncle
did not say that Mr.. Howard was in
the syndicate to get big fees, did he?
Mr.. Hubbard asked if the other side
wanted to go into that phase Of the
case. If it did, the plaintiff was only
too willing, and the witness was ex-
cused.
The case wal here rested, and the
motion to exclude was made and over
ruled. The defense then argued some
points to the Court, the jury retiring.
The Court held that a judicial settle
ment of the sanity question had been
brought about by the habeas corpus
proceeding.
Miss Annie Sandrock was then
called by the defense.
Q.-How old are you? Al think
that is rather a personal question to
ask a young lady. I won't answer
The counsel insisted. and witness
said she was twenty-six.
She had known plaintiff ever since
she was a child, but know nothing of
