Persons who are interested in moving photography have pronounced the collection of views un- nsuadly, good, and they speak with p6ch praise also of the beautifully nolored stereopticon views that are eX- hibited in. connection with the moving views. The comedy is furnished by some of the moving views which il lustrate amusing subjects and also by the phonograph which provides many comic songs. The exhibition tO-fnor row fSaturday) afternoon will begin at 2:30 instead of 4 o'clock as has been the rule during the week. Prices are popular.

That was the year in which the county was being settled, and the people were in the habit of assembling on one another's farms and holding a '1og-roIling''- cutting all the timber, rolling it into huge piles and burning 1.-the object being to clear the land. In one of these rollings Allcorn was handling a large poplar tree, when it rolled over him, crushing his life out. There was not an undertaken within 30 miles, so the dead mans friends used their own resources to bury him. The log was split and the two pieces hol- lowed out like two canoes. The re- mains were placed inside and the pieces fitted together again. This im- provised coffin was lowered iBto the ground. The wood happened to be green and a sprout soon sprang up at the head of the grave. This was not molested. and to-day it is tree 60 feet highs 30 feet across and has diameter of 30 inches.

ON THE STROKE OF TWELVE.


 TheatricaIs will be renewed at the Jacques on Monday. when the sensa- tonal melodrama "On The Stroke of Twelve will begin a three days en- gagement. opening with a special mati- nee on Monday. The play is a great favorite here. having already had two successful engagements at the Jacques and it is regarded as one of the most interesting melodramas of the season. Telling a story of thrilling interest in a way to fasten the attention of an audience, it has quick. incurrent action with many sensational cfimaxes and plenty of comedy. and the various characters are drawn with distinct ness that is remarkable. It is a fine scenic production, too. and altogether of genuinely enjoyable character. Seats go on sale tomorrow morning

Life Is Love.

Life Is Love. The fair varieties of earth,
 The heavens serene and blue above, The ripping smile of mighty seas What is the charm of all, but love? By love they minister to thought,
 Love makes them breathe the poets
 song; When their Creator best is praisd,
 Tis love inspires the adoring throng. Knowledge, and power, and will supreme. Are but celestial tyranny, Till they are consecrate by love, The essence of divinity. For love is. strength, and faith and hope: It crowns with bliss our mortal state: And, glancfng far beyond the grave, Foresees a life of endless date Boston Watchman
 Promise. Once more of June promise fair Is waited on the balmy air. Iris whispered soft on every breeze That sweeps the verdure-tinted trees. The skies are blue; the roses blush, Their signs perfume the noontide hush, Then nature showers her bounties sweet, And life is happiness complete. And yet we know that June may parch The thirsting earth. while from the arch Above us, through the weary days, The sun still speeds relentless rays. But we dream on of truest bliss. The day to come c o'ershadows this, Life's joys which touch the heart most
 deep Are promises life cannot keep. -WaShington Star.

REPORT ON IMMIGRATION.
Thomas Fitch Shows That 453,400 Aliens
Arrived at New York During the
Past Fiscal Year.

Washington, Oct. S.--The annual
report of Thomas Fitch, commission
err of immigration at New York, has
been received at the treasury depart
ment. The report shows that the
number of aliens arrived during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1901, was
453,406 There we're also 1l3,O56 citl-
zens of the United States who ar
rived from abroad. From COMPARE
son Of the Storage immigration for
the last two years 1t is shown that
nearly 10000 of the increase of last
year over the year before was in the
immigration from Southern Italy
alone. The number of returning alien
residents stands ut 1876 per cent. OF
the total immigration. In the amount
of money brought per capita, there
appears to be an appreciable increase
over last year, but the report says
"The conclusion, unfortunately, is un-
avoidable that our immigrant Is con-
stantly increasing in illiteracy. Not
only are we drawing more and more
from the countries where illiteracy Is
high, but also the immigrants them
selves are showing higher percent.
ayes VI nnJeracy. Nearly one-half
Of our steerage immigrants now pre-
sents an illiteracy Of from 40 to over
80 per cent"

ST. LOUIS ANNUAL FAIR.
The Exhibits Large and Complete In All
Lines-Ths Yelled Prophet and His
Followers Arrive.

st. Louis, Oct. s.--The St. Louis
Fair association launched its regu-
lar annual fair yesterday under very
favorable conditions. II is estimated
that the attendance was 10000 to co.
900. The exhibits are large and com
plete in oil lines and come from all
parts Of the country and Canada.
Men who have visited this great au-
tumnal exhibition every year since
its Inauguration many years ago say
that the displays Of horses and cat
tie are far better than they expected,
considering the fact that oil live
stock has been more or less affected
by the prolonged drought OF the past
summer.
His mystic majesty. the Yelled
Prophet, with his train Of jolly fol-
lowers, arrived in st. Louis yesterday
by the chosen rollte--the Mississippi
river-on their twenty-fourth annual
visit to the city and, with appropriate
ceremony, the keys of the city were
handed the Prophet at the EXPOSE
ton by Mayor Wells. The procession
passed through the downtown streets.
Tonight the Yelled Prophet will head
the famous parade and will preside at
the ball at the Merchants exchange.

MUST PAY POSTAGE.
Rural Carriers Restricted in Delivery
Of Merchandise

Business men are advised that rural
delivery carriers have noright to de-
liver mailable articles without proper
postage. The carrier can arrange to
carry any article for merchant at
his own price which isn't mailable'
but books, medicines, watches, jew
elry, small packages, circulars, etc.
should be entered at the postoffice
and the correct postage placed there
on. Vegetables, fruit, butter, eggs
valises, trunks, horses, COWS, any
single article weighing in bulk over
four pounds isn't mailable, and may
be delivered by the carrier at his own
price, but several articles together
weighing over four pounds should be
separated in packages within the mail
limit Of four pounds. Any evasion OF
postage through rural carrier is liable
to penalty and endangers the removal
Of the carrier from office. The mail
rate on mailable articles is the same
with carrier as it would be on train.
The United States postal department
does not pay carriers to act as deliv-
cry men for business interests
though they may deliver articles un'
mailable at their own price; but post
age must be paid on every article de-
! fined as mailable matter. Complaint
has been made to the department by
inspectors that some business men
and carriers at different offices
throughout the country are evading
postage. Such action on their part
can only result in the ultimate lay
ing ON Of the penalties prescribed by
law.
