GENERAL NEWS.
Financial Giants at War,

The heavy fall in Pennsylvania rail-
road stock is said to have jeopardzed
the entire fortunes of group of great
Philadelphia millionares, and the New
York World explains this struggle OF the
l1tans OF the money market as an attack
OF the combined Rockefeller and Gould in
terests upon President a. J. Cassatt of
the Pennsylvania road. The Pennsyl-
vania system had held Pittsburg with
its enormous steel tonnage, as sort
of G'br4l'a. Last spring Gould secured
al road entrance into Pittsburg.
About that time contract expired
between the Pennsylvania railroad
c"mpany and Mr.. Gould's Western
Union Telegraph company in which
Mr.. Rockefeller is deeply interested. Mr..
Cassatt refused to renew the contract
and Installed the Western Unions great
rival, the Postal Telegraph, in every rail
road station on the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN. The Western Union sought by an
junction to prevent any interference
with its business. The answer of Cas-
satt was his order, on Nav 81 last. tor
the instant obstruction OF 1000 miles of
Western Union poles and wires along the
Pennsylvania. Wrecking crews were
sent out, and in SO hours nearly 1000
miles OF poles, some of them giant masts,
carrying 100 wires each, were ruthIessly
cut down-a destruction of $5,OOO,OOO
OF the Western Union property in a day.
This was the first overt act of war, and
according to the World the Gould and
Rockefeller interests, with all the schemes
known to financial generals and with
their unlimited resources, have been able
to strike back a staggering blow, and
the end of the feud has not come.

The Peoples Cyclopedia,

Few people realize the great value of a
cyclopeda in the home. Probably in
nine cases out of 10 neither parents nor
children will go to a public library to
look up thing they would look up with
cyclopedia at hand. Children when
going to school are usually in hurry
and cannot stop, and if they do Others
may be there before them. OF all the
cyclopedlas the Peoples is the best
adapted to family use. AS its name i'm.
plies it is popular. 1t covers the whole
ground in condensed style and type. One
does not have to read extensively to find
what is wanted. 1t has $50 Rand Nc.
Nally maps, the best in the world. 1t is
well illustrated and has 500 pages of
tables which are much priced and which
no other cyclopedia has. The price of
the six octave volumes is only $50 and
between now and New Years special
rates will be given. Now is the time to
purchase.

All full of stuffing, too.

For sermo ns full of heaven
Instead of threats of he'll.

That promises fair play.

Who pulls the business through
With a dinner fit for Teddy
And for Booker W., too.
