II IS IN INVALUABLE ACQUISITION
One Of the Biggest Things 10 Reeent
Years for the Good Of the Town.

Raysor, shows that the persisten
and earnest work Of those who ha'

town.
The success Of this important en-
terprise, az shown by the letter
quoted, now hinges upon the ac-
ton of the city council, and Of
course our public spirited alder

"Nerves" of Machinery.

It Is known to most craftsmen that
not only their own muscles, but the
tools with which they work are some
times seized with something like
"cramp." Old violins, for instance,
at times, take fits Of refusing to give
out tho mellow sounds which are
their wont, even though played upon
by a Joachim or Sarasate; and then
scrape he never so cunningly, the in
strument will emit nothing but dis
cordant squeaks. At such times the
violin Is said to have caught cold, and
probably some temporary molecular
derangement has affected it. Edged
tools also at intervals refuse to obey
the behests of the most skilful crafts
men. The tool is then said to be
tired" and has to be laid by for
while, when it RECEIVERS its tone. Even
huge machines like railway locomo'
tives are known to go on strike"
Just as do human railway servants;
and experienced drivers know that at
these times the locomotive cannot be
compelled to work, although examina'
ton may show that 1t has not O
crank or screw loose, a rod or rivet
out of place. Machinery Is thus as
liable as it's drivers to get out OF
order, and sometimes in the most
unaccountable and mysterious fash
ION.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

"Bradstreet's" says: Jobbing distrt
button continues very active and retail
business is improving. Now that the
corn crop Is practically made, and the
only possible changes are those o.
quality, the disposition to book Fall
and Winter orders is unrestrained al
the West and Northwest. AT the South
the tone of trade reports is notably
cheerful, largely owing to higher cot.
ton prices, because crop accounts are
not SO favorable as week ago.
Collections are as whole good, and
the concensus of reports as to this and
as to money conditions point to good
supplies OF the circulating medium in
the country at large.
The selling position seems TO be the
strongest side Of the price situation, ex'
cept possibly in the cereals and agri-
cultural products generally. Even here
the fine financial position OF farmers
enables them to market their products
slowly, and no accumulation Of moment
is recorded except in cattle receipts,
which this week surpassed all records.
A large distribution OF cotton goods
is going on at the West, and the firm
ness in the Eastern grade is notable in
view OF the relatively quieter tone OF
demand. Wooden goods are firm and
the mills are actively employed.
The coal situation deserves notice.
The delay in the ending OF the anthra.
cite coal strike throws increased pres.
sure on the bituminous product, and
prices for that article are now at least
one-quarter higher than the low point
before the strike began. Anthracite
production is slowly but surely increas-
ing, as more mines and miners go to
work, but the necessities of some retail
buyers make fancy prices for what is
Sft. A long season at full time will be
necessary to restore stocks OF anthra.

STEPPED OFF TO MEET HER.
Amusing Incident Told by Louisville
Courier-JournaI.

Sunday when the excursion train
from Paris filled with negroes bound
for the camp meeting, reached this
city, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, it passed the station and
went through Cynthiana at the rate Of
about twenty-five miles an hour, the
idea being to keep the crowd on board
until the arrival at the grounds at the
Falmouth pike crossing. Just before
reaching Pike street negro man
jumped from the train. or course,
the momentum of the cars carried
him along at q terrific pace. HIS
body was going so fast that his legs
could not possibly keep up, but they
made q valiant effort to do 30, ana
such a lickity-split a negro never cut
before. He galloped across the gut
ter al Pike street at tremendous
speed, barely missed telephone pole,
flew up into the air, turned couple
of somersaults, and landed all In
heap in the middle Of the street. His
eyes were as big as saucers and seem
ed to pop out. AS he slowly gathered
himself together his trousers were
split, his knees were bruised and
bleeding, his arms were wrenched, his
coat-tails were in tatters, and his
battered stiff hat was mashed down
tight over his ears.
At that moment a negro girl who
knew him came along.
why, how do you do, Mr.. Hop
kins?" she exclaimed.
"Why, how do you do?" he an
swered in deep, calm tones, with care
fully measured accent. How do you
do? You are looking quite we-we-well
l just stepped off the train to meet
YOU"

What Results from Electricity.

Although the predictions freely
made few years ago that the deveI
opment Of electric traction would
quickly drive horses from the field Of
labor have not been fulfilled, yet the
Electrical Review cites statistics to
prove that the disappearance Of the
horse is actually taking place, al.
though 30 slowly as not to attract
much attention. In Paris the number
of horses fell off about per cent be.
tween 1901 and 1902. In London the
decrease in the same time was 10 per
cent. In Berlin, Vienna and st. Pc.
tersburg similar falling off is shown
by the census of horses. In New York
IL Is estimated that the number Of
horses has decreased 80 per cent
