the previous ones.

JUDGE PARkER'S TELEGRAM
Facts Regarding It's Transmission to
St. Louis Which Can Be Main
tanned by Proofs.

The Brooklyn Eagle is in a position
to affirm and to maintain by proof
these facts:
That Alton Brooks Parker wrote the
famous gold standard dispatch to Will
liam F. Sheehan. then in St. Louis, on
Saturday morning, July 9, at II
o'clock, and sent the same from the
Esopus telegraph station.
That the dispatch was so written
and so sent on Judge Parker's own
initiative, without consultation or com.
munication with single soul.
That the dispatch was not written and
sent in pursuance of pre-arrangement
and that those who advocated and adj
vanced his cause in St. Louis had no
foreknowledge of it.
That Judge Parker reached his deter
mination to send the dispatch after he
had been informed by the New York
papers of Saturday morning, and by
ed in its entirety the situation as to the
platform in St. Louis.
That Judge Parker did not anticipate
or foresee the final action of the COM
mittee in it's 16 hours session; that he
did not have and could not have had
knowledge of the events as they devel-
oped on Friday and Friday night at St.
Louis, until eight o'clock Saturday
morning; that during the 80 hours pre-
ceding the sending of the dispatch he
had no communicat ton whatsoever with
any leader of the New York delegation,
with any leader in the convention, or
with any person of that convention or
with any person in the east on any mat
ter which could be construed as po-
litical.

i AT SEA WITH MlLLloNAIREs
Just Tsw vulgarly- Rich voya gers
Who Had slathers Of FIJI 2sA,a
thy Lucre.

One of the Atlantic liners, accord.
ing to the Standard, arrived from New
York on the previous day with q
number Of wealthy Americans on
board"
We are able to supplement this
meager information, says London
Punch, by the following more precise
report on the ways, as we'll as the
means, of these rich passengers:
Washington Y. Wirke had secured
the finest suite of staterooms and one
afternoon gave a select tea party.
which excited great admiration. The
table was covered with a tea cloth
formed of 9100 Bank of England
notes, stitched on old point de venise
lace. The spirit lamp under the tea
kettle was lighted with bundle of
greenbacks. After tea fruit was
served, and between the plates and
finger bowls, instead of common
doilies, 91O notes were placed. The
whole entertainment was extremely
elegant.
Greenbacks R. Goode, the day before
the vessel reached Queenstown, walked
about for some time carrying an i'm
mense roll of English and American
notes. He gave one Of them to aAy.
one who would accept it. The roll OF
notes rapidly disappeared, but Mr.
Goode had several more bundles il. his
stateroom. The explanation of this
generosity is rather pathetic. Ia
spend an income of $1O,O0O,OOO q year
is difficult enough on land; on the sea
1t is almost impossible. The charges
for staterooms and every luxury
hardly help at all. Wines and cigars
do nothing. Even Mr.. Goodies new
system only relieved him Of the bur.
den OF about sc hours revenue. Later
IN the day he whiled away a short
time by throwing sovereigns at the
sea gulls.
Bullion U. Bett appeared one day in
yachting cap of solid gold, with a
| band of diamonds round it. and a
string of pearls to 80 as a strap I'M.
der the chin. Finding it rather
heavy, he did not wear it again, but
gave it to one of the stewards. 1t
was considered rather ostentatous by
the other passengers. A novel idea
introduced by VIM I. Gold was much
more admired. Mr.. Gold wore an or.
! binary cloth overcoat, lined entirely
with $500 notes. He said that moth
ing is so impervious to cold as paper,
and that Bank of England notes are
the softest and lightest material Of the
kind OF coudse, G5 notes would be
equally serviceable, but $500 notes
| look better if the coat is unbuttoned.

Somebody told Mr.. jerks that red flannel

matlsm from which he suffered. So he pur-
CHASED several sets of red flannel undergar-

OBJECTED TO CHILDREN.
Quiet Child Set Up a Yell and Papa
Had to Go House-Hunt-
ing Again.

The difficulty which families with
children experience in securing apart
ments in fiat houses often occasions
much amusement and comment, IS this
incident connected with house hunting
by a young married couple fully proves,
says the Saunterer, in the Brooklyn
Eagle. After long search the husband
found a tenement in the suburbs suited
to his wants, and he took his wife out
to see it. They carried the baby with
them. who was noted for gravity and
stiffness, and he behaved himself with
great infantile dignity in the surface
car all the way out to the point proposed.
The janitor showed them the rooms po-
litely enough on their arrival. He re-
marked, however, that the landlord OBJ
jected to children, but as they had only
one child, and that a very quiet one, he
probably would not object to them as
tenants.
"Oh, my darling never cries" said the
fond mother. "The neighbors wouldn't
know he was in the house."
Just chen the infant set up YELL and
he kept it up for ten minutes, probably
frightened by the bare novelty of his
surroundings. Nevertheless, the fiat
was engaged, and arrangements were
made to move in the following week.
The father was packing up his small
library the next morning preparatory
to fitting when he received note by
the first mail, which said:
Dear Sir: I regret to say that had
made other arrangements before you
saw my janitor, and you cannot have the
rooms engaged. Yours truly,
Peter Punk"
Pater Familias after he had read this
looked reproachfully at the baby SUM
bering quietly in his crib, and ex-
claimed:
III you had behaved yourself, would
not have to go house hunting again."
And strangely enough, the epitome Of
man has not cried since, but has been
as sober as Judge.
OF course there is a great deal to be
said on both sides of this question of
children and tenements, but l am re-
minded just now of the mother who, on
being asked if she had any children,
sarcastically exclaimed:
Eyes, l have three, but I intend to
drown them all before I take your
rooms" -

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOR WHEAT.
A Crop Of eo,ooo,ooo Bushels Of
Wheat Will Be the Record
Of 1904.

The results of the threshing In
Western Canada are not yet COM
pleted, but from information at hand
it is safe to say that the average pei
acre will be reasonably high, and q
fair estimate will place the total yield
of wheat at 6O,OOO,OOO bushels. At pres
ent prices this will add to the wealth
of the farmers nearly $60,000,000. Then
think of the immense yield of oats AM
barley and the large herds of cattle
for all of which good prices will bt
paid.
The following official telegram wa
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister of the Interior, to Lord Strath
coma, High Commissioner for Can
ada
Am now able to state definitely
that under conditions Of unusual diff:
Guilty in Northwest fair average
crop of wheat of good quality has been
reaped and is now secure from sub
stantial damage. The reports Of in
jury by frost and rust were grossly ex-
aggerated. The wheat Of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from fifty-flve to sixty million
bushels. - The quality is good, and the
price is ranging around one dollar per
bushel"
Frank H. Spearman, in the Saturday
Evening Post, says:-
"When our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isothermal demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north Of where the line
was projected; but the real granary Of
the world lies up to 900 miles north
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors of Canada for its bread. Rail-
road men see such day; it may be
hoped that statesmen also will see It
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to a degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.

PEOPLES Money Is Wasted.

The republicans admit the increased
cost of running the government under
the present extravagant administration,
hit claim that it is necessary, as the
growth of the country demands it. But
the cost per capita should not increase
faster than the population increases, as
it should be relatively cheaper to run
an 100000 900 country than one with &c.
600, 900 of people; but the cost is increas-
ing at a much greater ratio than the
population, which shows extravaganza
and waste of the peoples money.
