Buying - Mattresses.

A great many dealers don't tell the custom
ers the fact about mattresses. "What's the
use of educating the public SO n1uchP 1t only
makes them harder to sell to"
What! Telling the facts makes 1t harder
to sell ? We lind that telling the facts makes
selling easier. There must be something wrong
with facts that makes selling hard-are they
facts anyway? Here are nine facts about the
ROYAL ELASTIC FELT MAT TRESS:
!. They are softer and more elastic than hair.
,. They retain their softness and elasticity
much longer than hair.
3. They will never become hard or lumpy
or lose their shape.
4 They are more healthful and cIcan1y than
hair or feathers.
S. They are proof against moth while hair,
wool or feathers are subject to them.
g. They require no making over.
]. With ordinary use they will be in excel
lent condition for more than fifteen years.
8. Their first cost is not one-half that of a
hair mattress of good quality.
2./They are lighter than cheap hair mat
tresses and about the same weight of good
hair mattress.

When all was over, the farmer as

Railroad Time Tables.

The genius to arrange railroad time
card, or time table. so that it may be
readily, easily and accurately under
stood by the occasional traveller is not
yet born. Perhaps he will have to be
made. But no matter how much the
patrons of a road may be mystified
the management takes particular pains
to supply a special card "for the gov
eminent and information of employees
only" This table is so simple that a
child can understand it. The second
page usually contains table showing
the rate of speed required per mile for
q train to travel a given number OF
miles in an hour. 1t starts at fifteen
miles an hour, which is four minutes
to the mile, and goes as high as 100
miles an hour, or a mile in thirty-six
seconds, and shows 200 subdivisions.
This card gives locations of regular
water stations, yard limits, situations
of standard clocks, maximum speed of
freight trains between different towns
what days are holidays, speeds al
which trains may cross bridges al
various hours and a list of all stations
and trains. 1t is likely, of course, that
We're similar cards furnished to the
travelling public there would be NJ
abatement of fool questions. Besides
it is not to the interest of a railroad
company to take the public too entire
ly into it's confidence.-New York Press

The Walking Fern.

The walking fern has most original
way of getting over the ground. 1t
bends it's slender frond and starts a
root by extending the tip of the mid
rib. SO it sets up new plant and is
anchored fast on all sides by it's rooted
frond tips, covering the ground with a
rich carpet of verdure. The variety of
runners along the ground is as great as
the climber. All motion of the plant
is a form of growth, The plant grows
by day and by night, but more by day,
as light and heat are incentives to
growth.-Youth.

A BIG CELEBRATION.

Held on Lower Greenland Stand
 Collapsed During Exercises.
 The celebration by Antonio Muro, one of New Haven's best known Italian residents, of his recovery from a very critical illness of few years ago. was concluded with the exercises of last ev- ening. Wooster place, Chapel street, Academy street and Green street, sur- rounding the lower green, were blaze with lights and lanterns of all sorts. Flags of many colors were suspended above and across the thoroughfares mentioned, and the scene was one of an extraordinary character. Hundreds and thousands of people paraded through the green and along the side steets and the celebation was evidently appreciat- ed by all. In the band stand the Nico- lari band was seated The musicians gave very enjoyable concert and sev- eral solos were played. During the rem dition of a cornet solo the band stand suddenly and without any warning gave way. The musicians were precipitated to the ground and several by-standers were struck by pieces of flying wood. Fortunately no one was seriously injur- ed.
 The display of fireworks was quite elaborate. Some of the pieces were handsome. Small cannons, fire arms and other explosives added to the dem onstration and the entire evenings pro- gramme were enjoyed by fully 5000 peo- ple

Grand Opera House.

Alfred T. Wilton's new comic, picture, musical farce. Looping the LOOT" opened a three-nights' engagement, with the regular "Wednesday matinee, to very large audience at the Grand Opera house last evening. The, charac- ters are all familiar to readers of illus trated newspapers, and were. readily recognized as they appeared on the stage. There are large number of musical selections, the scenery. cOs- tunes and lighting effects being beau tiful. There are three acts In the com- edy, and the leading musical numbers in the first act are Please Let Me Sleep" by Alice Brophy and Andy Barr, and Eva" by Dave Marion and Flor ence Evans. Fannie Vedder does .,ome remarkable high kicking. In the third act there is 6 ping-pong chorus, when a volley of ping pong balls are scat tered in the audience. There are also a number of very good speciality acts and large chorus. The finishes of the several acts are we'll worked up, strong feature being Happy Hooligan looping the loop at the close of the sec ond act. Dave Marion as Tumble Tom was excellent. J. A. McDuff as Foxy Grandpa was very good, as were George B. Hoyt and Ben S. Neff as Gaston and Alphonse. Andy Barr as Happy Hooli- gan made a decided hit. Gloomy Gus was impersonated by Andrew Markey. Florence F. Evans as Mrs. Katzenjam- mer was very realistic. Fannie vedder gives a good portrayal of Lady Bounti- full
 All who enjoy good laugh and good singing will have their desire gratified by witnessing this production.
 Nothing more catching than the mu- sic of ''The Smart Set" it is claimed, has been heard this season. This three act comedy will be sent by it's proprie- tor, manager and producer, Gus Hill, to the Grand opera house where it will be seen Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, September 25, 26 and 27, and at the Saturday matinee. Ernest Hogan Billy McLain and Miss Matte Weeks are among the headliners of the cast which is fifty strong and composed of exceedingly clever artists. To say that tn colored organization will render a good account of itself would be putting the ma tier mildly, for the principals are known to be ''the hottest" propositions in the Coon show business" This opens warm prospect for spectators.

MASTER TA1I5oRs MEET

The Master Tailors association of this city met last night in the Tontine hotel and talked over the situation in regard to the journeymen in their shops. There has been some intimation that they journeymen would go on another strike this fall and that it would have the same disastrous effect as the one of a year ago had. At the conclusion of the meeting little could be learned of the business transacted, but some of the members of the association said that they did not anticipate any trouble with the men. The meeting was largely attended and was presided over by Joseph Kaiser, the president of the as- sociation.

THE STOCK MARKET.
A spasm of Liqutdation-Money Fever-
 Ash

spasm of Liqutdation-Mone Feycr-
 New York, Sept. 22.-There was a
 spasm of liquidation in the stock mar
 ket this morning and a somewhat fever
 ish and irregular movement during the
 rest of the day. This was inevitable
 after the showing made by the banks
 on Saturday of deficit of over $1, ,600,-
 900 in the reserves required. But the
 comparatively small effect in the mar
 ket and the persistency with which ef- forts were renewed to advance prices
 the moment there was the slightest re-
 taxation in the selling pressure were
 again surprise to all observers. The
 selling was somewhat scattered, but the
 buying orders were concentrated and in
 many cases were for thousand shares
 and upwards. Considerable inroads
 were made upon prices nevertheless.
 Missouri Pacific lost IA, but later in
 the day scored a full recovery. St.
 Paul was at one time 2 points over last
 week. Another furry in the money
 market to 20 per cent. sent prices off at
 the last and made the closing heavy.
 A feature of the trading was the bid
 ding up of the old Burlington stock to
 210 without bringing out any offerings.
 The last sale was in April at 194 IA.
 The advance in the bid to-day seemed to be intended as an additional demon- stration of the comparative cheapness
 of St. Paul. The money market was decidedly feverish all day. A small amount loaned at the opening at per
 cent, but the rate ran up quickly to 15 per cent, reacted to 10 per cent. and then rose again to the highest at 20 per cent. The banks are under the neces- sity of contracting their loans in order to repair the deficit in their reserves. But the process of contraction seems to be done reluctantly. There was no apparent purpose to push 1t beyond the actual necessities of the situation ere ated by the reserve deficit.
 Small parcels of Klondike gold are ar irving on the Pacific coast are made im- mediately available by telegraphic transfer and the one on dollar ship ment from London is expected to arrive by the middle of this week. On the other hand $300000 was transferred to- day through the sub-treasury to New Orleans and the sharp fall in sterling exchange was met by a rise in the price of gold and in discount rates in Lon- don. From interior centres reports are of advancing money rates. In short, effective measures of relief of the local
 money situation remain to be found. Tp. l. Total sales par value $4,025000. United States twos coupon advanced IA and the registered twos 1 per cent. on the last call.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Thsatcr.

The appearance in this city of "The Sign of the Cross," Wilson Barrett's graphic story of the persecution of the early Christians, recalls the fact that it was the first of the so-called religious dramas that have won fame and suc- cess. Probably no prominent manager would to-day hesitate to invest a large sum of money in the productiont of q religious play that possessed enough of the melodramatic element to appeal to the lovers of strong emotions and dramatic climaxes. When Wilson Bar rett produced "The Sign of the Cross" however, it is doubtful if he could have found a. manager in this country who would have accepted the play on any terms. There is little doubt that the instantaneous and prolonged success of the play is responsible for the dram atization, not only of Ben Hur," but also for the rest of the recent dramas that are making money out of the en- dorsement of the clergy and the pat ronage of mon thea tergoers." "The Sign of the Cross" with company of nearly fifty people. will be the attrac- ton at the Hyperion tonight and to- morrow night. There will be a bar gain matinee Wednesday at which prices will be 25c, 50c. Seats now on sale. Night prices $1,- 75c, soc. S5c, 25c.
 Louis Mann is to be seen here on Fri day and Saturday nights at the Hyper ion. There will be a bargain matinee Saturday. He never fails to attract large and enthusiastic audiences, com posed of the best class of our tlleater- goers. In his new comedy "Hoch, the Consul" MT. Mann has evidently made another success, and from reports that have been received it is evident that this clever actor has never had better play or part where he may be seen to such good advantage. His company of two score or more is made up of espec- ially clever people, who aid materially in bringing out all the strong comedy situations with which the piece abounds. Seats on sale Wednesday,.
