Price Of Oil Goes Up.

Last Saturday the price of West
Virginia oil was advanced from
$I.2a cents barrel to SIPS a bar
rel. This Is the first change In the
oil market since the 10th day OF
last June. This morning another
advance of two cents barrel was
posted making our oil worth now
81 27 barrel rise of 5 cents a
barrel In three days. Everything
has pointed to an advance in price
for the past year. Stocks have
steadily decreased each month";
The summer is gone, the roads Will
soon be impossible, many wells
have been drilled but the drill SO
far has failed to open any new pool
that amounts to enough to change
the amount of production. The
coal strike Is making a great de-
mand for oil. We have prosperity
over the country. Now that the
evenings are getting long the de-
mapd for oil will Increase very
much and so we think and Our In
formation Is to the effect that the
pri G Of oil will be advanced very
materially from this on. Our ad,
vice IS to ho,d your oil.

in Meriden. He surely must have had this in pind he was so persistent and volubIe in his praise. And right at that particular moment the gentleman living on Kingsbury street started from his seat to ask MT Dillingham; what MT Platt meant by his opposition to the bill making eight hours working day in the government yards and fac tories, but the frost in the hall chilled the question and he sat down confused. MT Dillingham; reviewed the war. What would the republican party do for subject if they did not have the Civil war? Towards the close he de- voted a few minutes to the subject most vital to the country now, the trusts. He blamed the high price. of meat to the Boer war and the weather. He repeated what had been declared falsehood all over the country, that there is no tariff on anthracite coal. He said high wages always follows an increase in the price of goods and cit ed the labor statistics of Massachusetts as an example, giving credit to that state for keeping better records of la Dor matters than any other state in the Union. He said that in that state the price of number of commodities had gone up, but the price of labor accompanied their advance, the latter going up 2S per cent. This was prob ably the most gIaring piece of the speakers audacity. Coming down to his final attempt to close he said a good word for. the congress as it is at present constituted and referred to MT Lilley in the usual terms of com patriots and fellow politicians. Had there been any responsive feeling at all in that audience it would have shown itself then, but not sound was heard only the speakers voice and he continued to cover up the chilly recep- ton given the mention of the republi- can candidate for congressman at large. The closing peroration was good, but of the customary kind, long worn out platitude. The other speaker was William 4 King, candi- date for attorney general. The recep- ton given him was hardly better than that given MT Dillingham;. 1t was a frosty night certainly for the republi- can party.

FIERCE CHICAGO FIRE
Many Lives Lost and Half a Million Property Destroyed.
NIGHT WORKMEB ARE ENTRAPPED.
Flames Tn Glucose Factory Spread So Rapidly That Escape Was Inn DossibIe-Death List May
 Reach Thirty.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-A dozen per sons were burned to death, four were almost instantly killed and half a dozen were injured in a fire which broke out late last night in the glucose works at Taylor street and the river.
 The men who were killed were en- ployed on the night shift.
 The flames communicated to the Pennsylvania roundhouse, in which were stored 1,G0e barrels of oil in three trains. This infammable mat ter quickly caught fire, and for time the huge seedhouse of the Dickinson company near by was in great danger.
 The fire broke out with an explosion in the drying house, which is seven stories in height and stands close to the main building of the plant, which is fourteen stories high. A third struc- ture is four stories high. The two smaller buildings were completely de- stroyed, and the larger building was badly damaged.
 The fire spread after the explosion with such rapidity that it was impOs- sible for the men in the upper stories of the drying house to make their es- cape, and it is the number of men be- ieved to have been at work on the seventh floor that causes the uncer tainty in the list of dead. Some of the employees who made their escape say that there were tWenty-nine or thirty, and others say that there were not more than ten at work when the fire broke out Whatever the num- Der, all are dead Four leaped from the upper floors, and all met death. Frank Moore was working on the fourth floor and made his escape by sliding down the water pipe. He de clared that none of the men on the floors above him was able to get away.
 It is not likely that the number of dead will be known with accuracy within twenty-four hours The dry house and the other smaller buildings of the plant are mass of red hot debris, and it will be impossible to search the ruins fer several hours. It will take considerable time to com plete the work after it shall be com menced
 Secretary Glass of the refining com pany estimates the loss at $500,000.

Member of Arbitration Board Breaks
 Agreement.
 SARATOGA, N. Y, Oct. 22.-The strike on the Hudson Valley railway, which was expected to have been de clared off this morning, threatens to continue for some time.
 The board of arbitrators, consisting ! General Manager B. $. Josselyn of the railway company and James H. Sheehan of the Albany division of the Amalgamated association, who have power to name third arbitrator to avoid a deadlock, met at Glens Falls. Josselyn held that the company should be allowed the right to reinstate such of it's employees as was deemed proper and employ Whsmsoever it thought best to operate the road. Sheehan, re gardless of the agreement, failed to agree with the claim made by JosSeIyn and at once WitIaGew from the board, which was thus rendered imperative.
 The proposition on which the agree ment was made was offered by Presi- dent A. E. Colvin of the railway .csm- pany and was accepted by the strikers 1t was signed by President Colvin for the company, by Daniel J. Dilworth for the strikers and by James O'Neil for the Central Trades assembly of Glens Falls. Beth sides agreed to abide by the decision of the board. The ignoring of the agreement by Sheehan will un- doubtedly cause additional trouble,

President Summons Board of Arbi-
 tration to Meet Friday.
 WASHINGTON Oct. % Shortly be- Gore o'clock in the afternoon Presi- sent Roosevelt received a telegram 21sm Wilkesbarre, Pa, informing him that the convention of miners had de clared off the anthracite coal strike. The telegram was signed by John Mitchell. chairman, and W. B. Wilson, secretary of the convention, and was identical with that made public at Wilkesbarre. Immediately upon re- ceipt of the information the following telegram was sent by Secretary Cortel- you to MT. Mitchell:
 sUpon receipt of your telegram of this date the president summoned the commission to meet here on Friday next. the 24th instant. at 10 a. m.''
 News of the termination of the strike was received by the president with great satisfaction. Already telegrams have been sent to the members of the commission notifying them of the first meeting to be held in this city on Fri day morning and summoning them to be present.
 It is understood that few meetings of the commission will be held in Wash ington. After the work of the commis- sion has been mapped out the first step will be to take the testimony of the miners, who may be regarded as plain tiffs in the case. Notification will be sent to all interested parties that at certain specified times the commission will hear evidence to be presentd. The parties to the inquiry will be permitted to be present at the hearings either per- sonally or by counsel.
 It is probable that the first sessions of the commission at which testimony will be taken will be held in Wilkes barre, as that city will be most con- venient for the miners representatives. Other meetings will be held in Phila- delpnia or New York or in both cities.
 How long the hearings will continue nobody can foretell. At their con- clusion each member of the commission will be supplied with copy of the testimony adduced and will consider it at his~leisure. Subsequently the com mission will reconYene, perhaps in this city, to formulate its report for pres Rptation to the president.

Queer sRoughfng It.e

Some persons are fond of ''roughing it'' luxuriously. A Chicago lawyer just returned from his first trip to the Maine woods reports: "A Pullman dropped me down at Moosehead; a steamer carried me 40 miles farther, a blackboard gave me another lift, and then guide padded me the rest of the way in canoe. slept on hair mattress. Everything was done for me. When I fsbed, the guide would take the trout off the hook, fix the bait, and all I had to do was to drop in and pull out.'' Even here Kitchener's mot to, "Thorough," applies. To go 100 miles into the Maine wilderness and have glorious VYort without lifting a finger, is not the result of any half hearted or half finished arrangements.

STICKING TO THE>LAsT.

While many of the old maxiIns and sayings have done great deal of good, they have also done much harm.
 Hundreds of people ill this country are trying to make their living by the exercise of the faculties which they know are not their strongest ones. In other words their vacations do not coincide with their bent, but they hes itate to change simply because they have been brought up to think that they must stick to what they have be- gun, and make the best of it.
 A great many young people cannot tell, when they first start out, where their real bent lies; they cannot tell what they can do best; but, as they develop more, their strong qualities come out-their predominant facul- ties push their way to the front. Again a college course or an advanced course of education develops faculties which had lain dormant, perhaps from disuse. Tn other words, the en- tire setting of the mental faculties of ten changes a great deal during one's physical and mental development, so that what the boy can do the best may not be the bent of the man at all.
 The relation of the faculties is greatly changed by the special training of one set of brain faculties, so that what was dominant at the outset of an education or course of training may become subordinated by other faculties which have pushed them selves forward in the course of devel- opment.
 No man should stick to his last if. he is convinced that he is in the wrong place and that there is possibility of satisfying his inclination elsewhere. No man should stick to his last, if change is possible. when he is con scious that he is getting his living by his weakness instead of his strength.
 No man should stick to his last when a better and higher way is open to him. No man should stick to his last when he finds that to do so will cramp his better life and handicap his career.

DRAWBACKS OF OLD CHURCH

q should think that you would be happy that you are pastor of So old church, and not one of these new creations.'' said the woman from the city to the rector of one of the old est suburban churches about here. Tt must inspire you to know that you are carrying on work begun 300 years ago."
 ssThe age of the church does add dignity to the york; said the rector, s'but it brings a flood of trouble to me''
 ssYou mean that the income from the church property is more than you can spend?'' she asked.
 ssNot at all,' he answered. "There is a mistaken idea afioat about the rector's salary: but I was not referring to that. An old church is supposed to have generally does have, records. Records are invaluable to some per- sons, especially to those who are work ing out a family tree.
