The show has closed a season that ap-

CANADA WILL COME IN.
Archbishop Ireland Believes It Will
Take Place Peacefully.

New York, Nov. lin speaking at
the banquet of the Minnesota society in
this city Archbishop Ireland expressed
the belief that Canada eventually will
be under the domain of the United
States. The transition. he said, would
come without conquest, without war.
After telling of the growth of America
in comparison with other great nations,
the archbishop said:
within few years the commerce of
the states on the Pacific coast will equal
that of those on the Atlantic. The de-
veloDmen. of the lands to the east. the
west, the north and the south is going
on more rapidly and safely than ever
before, and we are reaping and viii con-
tinue to reap benefits. From the east
the movement will be westward to that
section, and from the west eastward to
the same destination.
Il do rot want to be bellicose. but I
say this for myself: AS sure as fate,
although you and 7 may not see it, the
starry banner will wave mistress over
all the territory from the gulf to the
bay. There will be no conquest, no war.
The hearts across the border are already
beating with love for US. and commerce
and agriculture are calling for espous-
ak
Reason for the increase of the power
of the United States the archbishop
found in the universal liberty enjoyed
by the citizens. He said that he had
the greatest confidence in the Derpe-
tuity of America as the home of human
liberty, and what every American needs
to insure this is consciousness of ones
own rights, which should be demanded
and sustained, and, secondly. a respect
of the rights of others, and an inclina-
ton to help them to widen every op-
pOrtunity

A FEAR OF DEATH.
Carnegie Never Allows Word to Be
Mentioned to Him.

New York, Nov. 11.-"Few men would
accept Andrew Carnegie's horror of
death with all his millions"
In these words James H. Bridge, for
merly secretary to Mr.. Carnegie. de
scribes what he asserts as one of the ia
nous millionaire's most striking charac-
teristics in his declining years.
Mr.. Carnegie's horror of DEATH" says
Mr.. Bridge. is literally unspeakable, for
he never allows it mentioned by any of
his own circle. If others speak of it
he quickly moves out of earshot. Just
before his mother died he called a friend
to his own sick bed. and said: When
mother goes. I don't want to be told
about it You attend to everything
And to this day he does not know how
or when she died, although he was with
in a dozen feet of her at the time.
1T was the same a few days before,
when his brother Tom died To break
the news gently 1 told him that Tom
was i'll with pneumonia. Then he'll
never get over it, he replied. and turned
his face to the wall. There was no need
to tell him anything more, and he never
asked
Many other idiosyncracies of the steel
king were revealed by Mr.. Bridge who
was with him for many years But
perhaps the most striking of these is
his van.t-.
Mr. Carnegie's vanity" saws Mr..
Bridge. lis his great weakness. 1t has
been carefully nurtured and cultiva ted
until It has grown into the most impress
siVe thing about him. The love of him
self. the tOndness of his own name, thu
desire to see it in 5000 cities on 5000
imposing facades, and think of it as
thus conspicuous throughout all succeed
Ing ages-this is the underlying motive
OF the Carnegie generosity
And 1t is barely possible that Carne-
gle himself would admit it. At any
rate he never made gift without pro-
vision for such public and perpetual rec
ognition of his benevolence."
Mr. Bridge expresses the belief that
many of Mr.. Ca-negie's views are direct
" traceable to his small stature In
height he is only five feet four inches
This slight physique. by debarring him
from rough sports of youth. has given a
peculiar twist to many of his ideals
He breads pain and turns pale at the
sight of a drop of blood. The manly at
tributes. especially glorified by the Scotch
race, he holds in contempt. With him
muscular strength is brutal and physical
courage a relic of barbarism. and nascu-
line beauty sign of intellectual debility"
According to Mr.. Bridge, the aged Pitts
burg millionaire is truly harassed by the
responsibility attending the proper dis
position of a fortune which is increasing
at the rate of over so cents a second $50
a minute, $500 an hour. $43 200 a day.
1902 400 a week and 81, $4,000 a month.
His sole motive in life. according to Mr.
Bridge, now appears to be the exaltation
of his name and a pos:ponement of the
hour when death shall separate him from
the millions which accumulate faster than
he can distribute them among the chart
ties that he affects.

mand for poultry and eggs. Dealers also
say that poultry raisers have not yet
recovered from the effects of the drouth
of last year. and as result they have
displayed backwardness and timidity
about entering into the business on the
former extensive scale. Then, too, the
country has not recovered fully from
the drouth of last year. and for this
reason it is not expected that the prices
of turkeys will decline until poultry
raisers have time to recover from the
losses of last year
Turkeys were selling in the local mar
ket in Topeka today at IS cents per
pound, dressed. for either hens or COB
blers. The greatest demand is for COB
blers which tip the beam at from 10 to
II pounds The hens are smaller, aver
aging to pounds. Retail dealers say
these prices will, in all probability, pre-
vail until Just before Christmas, when
prices will again be advanced. At that
time, too, the demand for hens will ex
coed the demand for gobblers, as the
latter will have grown to IS or IS pounds
and will not be so desirable for the av
erage family as the 10 and II pound
, hens.

WILL COME HIGH.
Turkeys Retailing at ID Cents-Poul-
try Scarce.

By reason of the severe drouth of last
year the Thanksgiving spread this year
will cost more money than for many
seasons past, says a correspondent for
st. Joe paper.
The fowl for the place of honor on the
holiday dinner table becomes a matter
of interest and Importance to house
wives generally, in view of the advanced
prices that are demanded everywhere.
Meats of all kinds are higher than
they were a year ago, but the scarcity
of fat young turkeys was never SO
marked as at the present time This
scarcity and the high prices that are
most solely to the drouth of 1901.
In the language of a farmer who
brought a wagonload of turkeys to maj
ket Yesterday They are higher'n
fencerail" The people who raise tur-
keys and other fowls, as general rule
are not grain farmers. and are com
PEELED to buy most of the feed for their
poultry yards. When the extent of the
drouth fell with great force upon them
they lost no time in selling off their SUI

fatten poultry on 80-cent corn and as
sumo the risk of getting price COM

age in the supply of poultry has result
in pushing prices up fully SO 1-3 per cent
hi0her than two years ago.

is now almost worth its weight in gold
Two or three years ago the Kansas
market was loaded during the holiday
season with poultry Of all kinds. Tur-
KEYS sold for IL and u cents a pound,
and the price was considered high. Now
they are worth * and 10 cents per
pound Should New York, Philadelphia
and other eastern markets demand
greater supply than usual it is probable
that there would be still greater ad-
vance in prices before Thansgiving in
the local mar,-et.
California, Arizona and many other
far western states and territories pro-
cure their supply of Thanksgiving poul-
try in the markets of the middle west,
and the demand from those sections
may result in prices going still higher.
Last year Kansas shipped a trainload
of turkeys to Los Angeles and other
southern California points. If that sec
ton draws heavily upon the farmers OF
the middle west for its supply OF
Thanksgiving and Christmas fowls. re-
tail dealers say that Pacific coast prices
of is to 10 cents per pound may not be
surprising.
Although the crops this. year in the
Missouri valley have been abundant.
poultry prices remain as stiff as they
were a year ago. Retail dealers declare
that this is Cue TO the fact that the
prices of meats of all kinds, forced sky
ward by the drouth, were maintained at
higher level by the beef combine, and
consequently there was increased de-

Crop Bulletin.

In central and northern parts of the
state the need of rain was beginning
to be felt, and there the rains of the
week have been beneficial to all the
crops; elsewhere rain was not needed,
but it has caused no injury. In the
northern part of the state spring wheat,
oats, barley and flax are growing we'll;
in central and southern portions these
crops are in splendid condition, ex-
cept in few localities, where on light
soil the straw is short and fax rather
thin. There is some complaint of rust
in southern portions, and the fear of
lodging. Rye is ripening. Spring
wheat and oats are heading. Corn has
been backward, but the recent warm
weather is starting vigorous growth.
Potatoes are good and new potatoes
are ready for use. A great deal of
clover has been cut for hay, though
the week has not been favorable for
haying, and in southeastern portions
considerable hay has been injured or
spoiled by the rains. Timothy is ready
to cut.

HAS A QUEER HOBBY.
Pennsylvania Capitalists Fad Is
Erecting Monuments.
His Latest Donation to the Public Is n
Shaft on Brandywine Battle
field, Erected in Honor of
Lafayette.

Like Andrew Carnegie, John e. lay
lor, of West Chester, Pa, intends to
dispose of a large share of his wealth
while he is yet alive; but instead OF
investing it in libraries or schools he
is building monuments on the Brandy
wine battlefield. He refused to tell
how much he has spent in this way,
but competent judges say the statues
and shafts which he has erected have
cost fully $4,000. He has just COM
pleted his most elaborate monument,
a memorial to Gen. Lafayette, built OF
granite at cost of S., 900. Already he
is planning other designs to honor
the various commanders who partici-
pated in the battle.
Mr.. Taylor, who is about 20 years
old, according to the Philadelphia
Times, was formerly broker and pri-
vate banker in West Chester, and when
he retired from business several years
ago, his fortune, while not counted by
millions, was more than ample for his
needs. His wife and child and several
relatives were buried in the cemetery
at the Birmingham meeting house, on
the picturesque hills along the Brandy
wine, several miles south of West Ches-
ter, and at this spot Mr.. Taylor spent
most of his leisure moments. He en-
deavored to interest others in the prof.
ect of preserving the historic remains
at Birmingham, but the staid Quaker
community was slow to become en-
thusiastic over matter so purely SEN
timental.
1t is true that in 1895 the school chill
dren of Chester county collected about
$500 with which the Historical society
of the county was commissioned to
erect marker at the spot where La
fayette was shot. For this sum
monument was secured that was rather
