Democratic Field Day.

Friday last was regular old-fashioned
Democratic field day in Charles Town,
and if there had been previous thereto
any suspicion of apathy in the ranks OF
the party in this grand old county, it was
then most speedily dispelled. Col. John
T. McGraw, our splendid Congressional
standard bearer, who had been canvassing
the county for two days previous. was
joined here by Col. L. Victor Baughman
and Hon. ]. E. r, Wood, two of Mary.
lands brilliant sons whom our people are
always delighted to honor, and at 2.3o p.
m. the meeting began.
The courthouse was we'll filed with 9
fine audience, including large numbei
of Jefferson's fair daughters. and after
music by the Charles Town Concert Band
Judge Frank Beckwith, IN his usual hap
Ply style, opened the meeting and intro
duced Col. John T. McGraw.
1t of course goes without the saying
that Col. McGraw made an eloquent and
able speech. His touching illusions to
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, Hon. VIM. H.
Travers and Capt. George Baylor struck
a tender chord in the hearts of his audi
tors. He discussed the trusts, the tariff
and the record Of Mp. Dayton, his op-
ponent, who has been in Congress for
eight years. He commended that the pres
ent domination of the country by the
trusts would have been prevented if the
Wilson bill had been allowed to prevail.
He promised, if elected. to vote to put
every trust-made article on the free list
and to urge an amendment to the Sher-
man Antitrust law and to give the In
terstate Commerce Commission more
power.
Col Baughman, who followed Col. Nc
Graw, handled the trusts and the tariff
without gloves, and with that peculiar
magnetic power which seems born of him
when in touch with the people of Jeffer-
son, revived much of the old-time euthu-
siasm proverbial of our people.
Hon. ]. E. r. Wood, who is stumper
of fine powers, made a strong practical
speech, and was listened to with much
interest from beginning to end.
The same speakers addressed rousing
Democratic meeting in Ionadab Hall.
Harpers Ferry, Friday night.

ferson county is splendid, and it is con-
fidently expected that it will give larger
Democratic majority in this election than

companied IN his campaign in this county
by S. c. Young, member of the Congress
sional Committee State Senator William
Campbell and c. NJ Wetzel, member of

STOLE TWO WATCHES.

Robbed His Enployer-Captured Here
 by Detective Donnelly,
 Bridgeport, June 16.--Andrew K. Johnson, broad of shoulder and long of limb, is milk dealer and lives in Mich ols. A man who said that he was Thomas Butler sought employment from him a short time ago and received it. Last Thursday he stole two watches and pair of trousers from his employ CT and disappeared. The trousers were his undoing.
 Johnson on his return from his milk route missed the watches and reported the case to the police, who sent letters to different cities among them one to the New Haven police with a descrip- tion of the thief. The description was given to Detective Donnellv, of the New Haven force A few minutes more than an hour after he started out he saw a man that answered the description of Butler standing behind a tree in the City of Films. The man was about twentytwo years old there was a stubby beard and his trousers were doubled back half way to his knees. The detective engaged the fellow in conver- sation and then arrested him.
 When they arrived at headquarters Butler acknowledged his identity. He said that he had pawned the mans watch for thirty-fve cents earlier in the day; that he had given the woman's watch to a negro to sell and was wait ing for him to return, when the detec- tive arrested him. Butler said at first that he hailed from San Francisco. but later admitted that he was from Nor wich. He said that he was arrested in New Haven on Friday night for drunk enness and was released on Saturday morning.
 The detective subsequently, found the watches in a pawnshop and recovered them. As the theft was committed out side of the jurisdiction of this city But Ter will probably be taken to Nichols for examination.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Its Character Yesterday the same as Last
 Week.


 New York, June 16.--The character of | to-day's stock market remained the same as that of last week. There were operations for rise in a few prominent stocks, but they were not aggressively pursued and left no important results. St Louis, Missouri Pacific Union Pa cific and the Atchisons were most large ly dealt in. None of these saved as much as a point of net gain on the day, although Canadian Pacific rose at one time IFS over Saturday and St. Paul 1as. A number of the miner granger stocks were lifted at different times and the Chicago and Northwest ern stocks both made point advances. Late in the day there was an advance in the Readings. The market closed dull and easy considerably below the best. The movement in the western stocks, while obviously professional seemed to be based on assumption of a favorable outcome for the corn crop and upon the argument of probable dividend increases, Nobody assumes that the Missouri Pacific dividend this week will be changed from the 21a per cent. semi annual rate and the heavy outlays be- ing made by Union Pacific are against the presumption of present increase. But the example of the Chicago and Northwestern increase is an influential one and affects especially St. Paul. The buying of this group of stocks at the opening was sufficient to carry up the price in face of rather heavy London ;,,rl !, | ness of the king of England. The lead- CTS of the campaign for the advance profess to feel assurance that the July settlements will be effective without any stringency of money The indus trial department of the stock list was generally heavy. United States Steel stocks were slightly depressed by the making permanent of the injunction against the stock conversion and bond issue plan pending the appeal to the up- per court.
 The foreign trade statement for May just issued shows decrease in exports of upwards of $22, ,000,O00 showing that the exports of manufactures fell some what below those of May last year in to the heavy decrease in agri- cultural products. For eleven months in the fiscal year the trade balance in favor of this country is thus reduced nearly $16S ,000 900 below that for the jperiod of last year.
 There was q fair demand for bonds 1 and prices were firm. Total sales par value $2, 465,000
 United States 2s coupons declined B | per cent, and the old 4s advanced A l per cent. on the last call.

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L.
 Mclean & Go.
 New York, June 16.-The market was more active to-day than of late with an increase in commission business. The coal strike is evidently dying a natural death, The ticker tells the story, and the sharp advances that have occurred in the Reading stocks show what insiders thing. From this on it will be the crops. the large railway earnings and increased prosperity for the country that will influence market values. Then, too, the repeal of the revenue law, which takes effect July l, will aid the money market.
 The Gould stocks continue in demand and it is freely predicted that Missouri Pacific will cross 110 on this movement, and we think it can be safely bought on all reactions. Also advise buying Union Pacific on the declines or on any advance to above 106, as, when this fig ure is reached. the price should go much higher almost immediately. Atchison is also being well sought after by invest ors, and should sell well above par in the near future. Traders who have been waiting for the end of the coal strike to be announced will probably come in at the top prices, as the move- ment in the market so far has been just exactly what We predicted would be the case.
 Chicago markets; There is little to be said with regard to grains, but we think conditions warrant higher prices for wheat and lower prices for corn.

RuSSIQ Qld lQlll.

Acertain section of the English press
has begun to treat with some serious
ness the report that Russo Japanese
war is Imminent. In England the
thought excites a very general appre-
hension. Already the jubilation ehich
greeted the announcement of an ALI
ance between England and japan has
died out. Englishmen are now king
themselves whether this alliance does
not rather seriously compromise Brit
ish freedom of action in the East. They
-dreade >lest Japan should at once pre-
cipitate hostilities against Russia and
thereby bring about the specified con-
ditions which would compel England to
take an active part in the struggle.
For, should Russia, owing to the weak
ness of her feet in Eastern waters,
make a strong appeal to France, French
chauvinis1n and the desire to recover
the old prestige as a military nation
might sweep away all considerations OF
prudence and place the French squad
rons at the d1spoza1 of the Gar. But
in this case, England mist in like man
ner Goa e to the assistance of Japan.
Without expressing any opinion as
to the immediate. probability of this
conflicts occurrence at the present time
it maybe interesting to consider what
circumstances make for such an event.
and what other circumstances initiate
against. it. First of all, as every one
is welf aware, if the Japanese are really
convinced that a war with Russia is
inevitable, there will probably never be
tin-e when circumstances will give
Japan a better chance of victory. The
Russian feet, as we have already said
is u far inferior to Japans, and it is also
divided into two squadrons separated
BY several hundred miles of sea, SO
tina. each squadron could be attacked in
detail. and annihilated by the vastly
superior naval forces of Japan. In the
second place, the Trans Siberian
Railway is in such a state of incon1.
pleteness as would make it of very little
seEEice in the rapid transportation OF
soldiers to Corean territory, while
Japan could almost Immediately throw
several army corps into Corea, separat-
ed as that country is from the Japanese
island of Kiusin by nothing but a

narrow strait. Finally, the Russian
occupation of Manchuria has so irritat.
i ed the Chinese that the outbreak of
such war as we have indicated would
undoubtedly be followed by an uprising
in Northern China, secretly or perhaps
openly encouraged by the Chinese gov
ernment; and although the Russians
might be strong enough to hold their
own, they would certainly have no
troops to spare from their Manchurian
contingent for service in Corea. 1t
must be remembered also how deeply
the Japanese have been incensed by
Russian interference in the Hermit
Kingdom; how thoroughly convinced
they are that the most solemn promises
have been broken; and what supreme
confidence they feel in their own mill
tary prowess
On the other hand, it is to be re1nem-
bered that Russia fully appreciates how
inopportune for her interests a war. at
the present time would be The -6nan-
cial question is perhaps equally press
ing in both Russia and Japan. NJ. de-
Wltte said some time ago that Russia
could not be ready for great war
within ten years. Her loans are taken
up very slowly; and were it not for
French enthusiasm they could very
likely not be placed at all except at
rtinous figures. Japan is even worse
off in this respect, since her expendi-
lures on fleets and armies during the
past twenty years have been enormous
and she is very much in the position Of
Italy after that nation had plunged"
so recklessly after the consolidation of
the kingdom in 1860. Japan has bor-
rowed principally at home and her
financial administrators have discovered
that their borrowing power has now
almost reached its limit. Nevertheless,
a war in Corea would be vastly more
expensive for Russia than for Japan,
owing to the immense distances over
which soldiers would have to be carried
and owing to the well known pecuIation
and corruption which are the inevitable
features of Russian military admins
tration
II is not likely, therefore, we think,
that Russia would willingly do any
thing at the present time to bring about
a war for which she is only half pre-
pared and in which the first honorS at
least would surely 60 to her energetic
and well-equipped antagonist Whether

Japan would force conflict depends al
together upon the opinion which her
statesmen hold regarding the final out
come, To Japan the possession Of
Corea is almost vital as an outlet for
her population and as most important
source of supply for food stufs, espe-
cially rice. Were the independence Of
Corea assured, the Japanese might and
doubtless would abstain from bringing
on hostilies with Russia. Eut unless
this independence shall be assured by
guarantees far stronger end more sat
isfactory than any which Russia has
yet given, war will sooner or later
appear to be less war of conquest

SIR THOMAS BROWNS PRAYER.
a Beautiful Petition to him who GiVesh
his Beloved Sleep.
from the Charlotte Observer

| 4 TOm Uu0 Su6I4OULO NA0OA
In these days when one so often sees
in sleeping rooms, beautifully printed
and framed Robert Louis Steven
sons prayer, or an exquisite senti-
ment on true living from Henry Van
Dyke, or a restful poem like that
which hangs on the wall OF one OF
the rooms of Mr.. Andrew Csrnegle's
castle in Scotland, land in many
humber homes in America) I take
the liberty of sending you what l
suppose may be appropriately called
Sir Thomas Brownies Prayer. Al
though written over two hundred
years ago, I do not recall ever having
seen it in any collection OF poetry. l
find it in one of his short essays
called "Of Life" Concluding q para
graph on sleep he introduces the
prayer IN the following words;
"In fine, 80 like death, l dare not
trust it without my prayers, and a
half adieu unto the world, and take
nv farewell in a colloquy with
God"
The night is come like to the day;
Depart not Thou, great God away,
Let not my sins, black as the night
Eclipse the lustre of Thy light.
Keep still in my horizon; for to me
The sun makes not the day, but Thee.
Thou whose nature cannot sleep,
On my temples sentry keep;
Guard me 'gainst those watchful foes
Whose eyes are open while mine close,
Let no dreams my head infest,
But such as Jacobs temples blest.
While do rest, my soul advance;
Make my sleep a holy trance;
That l may, my rest being wrought,
Awake into some holy thought,
And with as active vigor run,
NV course as doth the nimbler sun,
Sleep is death-Oh! make me try,
By sleeping, what it is to die!
And as gently lay my head
On my grave, as on my bed.
Howe'er I rest, great God, let me
Awake again at last with Thee.
And thus assured, behold I lie
Securely, or to wake or die.
These are my drowsy days; in vain
do now wake to sleep again;
Oh, come that hour when shall never
Sleep again, but wake forever.
. If anything could be added to the
serene faith expressed in the prayer
itself it is his own quaint words at
the end of 1t:
"This is the dor; tive take to
bedward; I need no other laudsnum
than this to make me sleep, after
which I close mine eyes in security,
content to take my leave OF the SUI
and sleep unto the resurrection"

A POST 'FFICE ROBBED.
successful RAID Of Burglars at TazeweI
Court House. Virginia.

Roanoke, Va, October 6.-Last
night burglars broke into the post
Office at Tazewell Court House about
midoight and blew open the safe
with dynamite. They took $500 in
stamps and 5000 in each. Besides
these losses the Office books of the
postmaster were blown over the Office
and almost destroyed. Before break
ing in the postofice the party broke
into a blacksmith shop and took the
necessary tools for doing the work
on thessfe. Bloodhounds have been
sent to the scene. So far there is no
clue to the robbers.
