DUNE REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, September 13.-R. G.
Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade
tomorrow will say:
An assassin's bullet checked the pro-
gress of a nation. For time project
ed undertakings were abandoned and
orders held back that were about to be
placed. Spectators sacrificed stocks
and options on grain and cotton. Bet
ter news early in the week brought re-
covery in prices and postponed bust
ness was transacted but anxiety was
again in evidence on Friday. After
the crisis there will be return to for
mer conditions, because the solid
foundation of the country's prosperity
is too deep to be permanently dis
turbed. In the principal manufacture
ing industry there is steady gain in
the number of active mills in full
operation. Less urgency for immedi-
ate delivery of goods and less inclina-
ton to pay premiums on the part of

THE FAIR.

Despite it's handicap on the "big day

been a most pronounced success.
The Fair Association is to be COM
mended for its enterprise and liberal
efforts to cap the climax of a long

succeeded, for the Fair was beyond all

THE PRESIDENTS DOCTORS.

1t is supposed that the foremost
physicians and surgeons procurable
were summoned to attend President
Mckinley and therefore it Is not in
order for laymen to criticise their
treatment. But what the average man
cannot comprehend is why in the crit
ical condition of their distinguished
patient, especially in the necessarily
extremely delicate condition of his
stomach with two shot wounds in it,
they should give him such diet as
chicken broth, a cup of coffee and
whisky, in addition to the beef juice.
Doubtless these eminent physicians
knew best what to do in such case
and brought all their knowledge and
experience to bear, but the fact that
short time after the President was
given this meal of chicken broth, cof-
fee and whisky bulletin announced
that his stomach rebelled against the
food and that the rebellion was not due
to the wounds, would seem TO show
that it was not the proper diet. The
stomach would not digest 1t. The
question arises were these eminent
physicians over-confident as to the
Presidents condition.

TWO ODD NEW GAMES.

In European fashionable circles two
new James will soon become popular.
IL one may judge by the enthusiasm
which greeted them when they were
played a few days ago for the first time
at large festival given by wealthy
landed proprietor.
One Is known as "the necktie race"
The players are horsemen, and, as in
an ordinary race, each strives to be
first at a distant goal. Midway be-
tween the starting point and goal, how
ever. are several ladies. and each
horseman as he reaches them is bound
to dismount, hand the reins to a
groom, have his necktie tied by one Of
the ladies, and then mount again and
race for a goal. Before the race begins
each horseman selects the lady whom
he desires to favor him in this manner
The second sport is known as "the APP
pie race" On the course over which
the horsemen are to go are placed four
tanning floating apple, and each
horseman on reaching the basins is re-
quired to dismount, kneel and grasp, if
he can, one of the apples with his
teeth. That this is no easy task can
readily be seen. Furthermore, if he
succeeds in grasping the apple he must
keep it in his mouth until he reaches
the goal, for if he drops it while his
horse is gelloping he cannot win the

It was a gallant fight but the odds
were too heavy. and even the best
medical and surgical talent available
could not turn the fatal tide.
The bullet of anarchy has accom-
pllshed its work.
1t wasn't aimed at William McKin-

nation. 1t wasn't intended simply to
end tie life of William Mckinley, but
vas a blow at the vitals of American

THE ACME OF PARTIsANsHIP.

Even at this time of sorrow the
trust organ on Fourteenth street could
not refrain from an effort to make
partisan political capital and put in a
lick for the trusts.
Smarting under the Registers criti-
cism of its previous offenses on this
line, and still echoing the New York
Sun, which ut-Herods anarchy itself
in it's reckless partisanship and can
give points to yellow journalism in in
decent vilIification of public men, the
Intelligencer now affronts the common
sense and good taste of its readers by
making the claim that criticism of the
trusts in the public press is respons-
ible for the growth of anarcy and the
attempt upon the Presidents life, and
even quotes Herr Most, himself. to
prove it.
1t is quite evident that the Four
teenth street organ would have us in
fer that hereafter there must be no
public criticism of trusts.
Partisanship that can descend to this
level and be guilty of taking advant-
age of a national sorrow and affection
to advance its selfish party interests
reaches the limit of indecency.
