says the Buffalo News. The Archbish-
op, 1t appears, wished to have his like
ness taken, with the Falls as a natural
background. Mr.. Morgan arranged it,
and the party stood down on one of
the walks in the gorge, while the pho
tographer did his worst.
How much are those pictures going
TO be-" asked Mr.. Morgan when it was
all over.
"one dollar" replied the hopeful pho
ty." ~
Forty" gasped the photographer.
Mr.. Morgan said he understood rightly
Just as they were about to ascend
from the gorge Mr.. Morgan spied a
large group picture, perhaps two feet
square. Turning to the photographer,
he asked the price of that style.
Five dollars" said the photogra-
pher.

piled Mr.. Morgan. Finish forty of
those larger ones"
The photographer hesitated, and then
stepped aside to Secretary Rankine of
the power company at the Falls.
You'll stand good for these, won't
you, Mr.. Rankine?'' he asked.
Yes. replied the power man, with
a smile, Il viii, but 1 think perhaps

RUSSIA AND JAPAN NEED MONEY

Both Russia and Japan would like
to bring their war to an end speedily.
1t is probable that one of the reasons
the Gar ordered General Kuropatkin
to attack the Japanese at Mukden was
the necessity of doing something TO
restore confidence in Russia's credit.
If the war is to go on, Russia will have
to have money from some source. She
cannot put any heavier taxes on her
own people and she will have to bor-
row IT. She has met with so many
defeats in her war with Japan that
she cannot borrow on favorable
terms from any nation; besides, her
debt now is just about as big as she
can carry with comfort. She wants
victory therefore as a basis for
new loan. She may suffer defeat in
stead In that event she will find it
difficult to get money on any terms.
Japan's financial condition isn't by
any means as good as she would like
to have it. Count Okuma said the
other day that the war might last two
years, ana that Japan would need
$250,0O0,000 for the next years war.
Where is she to get it? She cannot
very well raise it from her own people
They are comparatively poor and are
heavily taxed Can Japan borrow it?
The fact that she is already pretty
heavily in debt must of course be TAX
en- into account
1t seems from Inquiries made of
bankers in New York that she couldn't
borrow any considera BILE amount in
this country on terms that would be
at all favorable to her. A considerable
part of her first loan was taken in
New York. but the bonds are now
quoted ten points below the price paid
for them. That fact is sufficient to
show that if her bonds were offered
in this country, even at a burden
some rate of interest and much below
par, there would be no scramble for
them. There is sympathy for Japan
and there is admiration of the pluck
and bravery she has shown in the
war. And her successes are placed
to her credit, but when the American
people are asked to part with their
money they want to feel certain they
are going to get it when it is due. One
crop failure or a big war indemnity
would make Japan a bankrupt and
she may have the misfortune to suffer
from one or the other or both. A crop
failure is always a possibility and the
war isn't fought to finish yet, by
any means. The financial question
may have more to do with bringing the
war to an end than gunpowder.

SINCERE POETRY.

From the New York Tribune.
The most recent escapade of Prin-
cess Louise of Coburg has brought I'M
feigned joy to the people Of the little
watering place of Elster, not because
she fed from there, but because of the
way she did it. Before that sensa-
tional event the name of the little
town was known to few; now it has
become famous throughout two or
more continents. Never was such an
advertisement. The good people of FL
ster are not ungrateful to their bene-
factor, and the Elster Journal has
gracefully expressed the common feel
ing by publishing poem, of which the
following is a translation: 20 thou

the most sensational manner possible.

roo Near HIS Price.

That stuff was pretty valuable dur
ing the Civil War;" said Col. ]. H.
Story, deputy collector of customs, as
he watched pile of blazing cotton
bales on West street the other day, ac-
cording to the New York Times. Got
ton in the North was worth 81 a pound,
and as it was not worth much of any,
thing in the South, the men who could
get it through the lines made big
money. Some of the Union officers, it
is said, were surprisingly blind when
a consignment of cotton was being
struggled through.
1.-THE United States maintained a
fleet of patrol boats on the Mississippi
chiefly to prevent the smuggling of
cotton to the North They were in
command of an old rear admiral who
was noted for the strength of his Ian
guage. One day a Spectator who had
bought a good many thousand bales
Of cotton at next to nothing came to
him and said:
Admiral, have got a lot of cot
ton here that l want to get North. 1t
will be worth a lot of money to me
and it will be worth $4,000 to you
1t can't be done, sir, the admiral
replied.
"It will be worth $4,000 to you

PRESCRIPTION FOR DIVORCE.
From the Baltimore Sun


Chicago, Oct. 12.-Here is prescrip-
ton guaranteed to cure divorce:
1t is presented by one who knows
Mrs. Ashley c. Smith. who on Tues
day was divorced from her husband, a
prominent West Side clubman and
president of the Marvin-Smith Com
pany,
This cure is prescribed solely for hus-
bands. The formula follows:
Never neglect a parting kiss when
starting for business. This means
you and not your wife.
Take your wife to the theater at
least once a week.
when you buy theater tickets tele-
phone her and give your wife ample
time TO dress.
Tell your wife at least once a day
that you love her. Never compel her
to force this confession from you. Say
i love you of your own free will.
That's all there is to 1t. Follow
this formula and all will be happiness,
despite matrimony, and there will be
no divorces. >"

ROOSEVELT AND LABOR UNIONS.

The New York World prints a Phil
adelphia dispatch to the effect that
the Trades Unions of America have
declared war on the Republican party.
There may be some truth in this state
ment, but the fact that it comes by
way of Philadelphia is calculated to
cast doubt upon it. If 1t had come
from New York or Chicago, where
unionism prevails to much greater
extent than in other cities it would
attract more attention.
The trouble with the unions In Penn
sylvania is the refusal of the authori-
ties of that state to place the construc-
ton of the new state house at Harris
burg wholly in control of union men.
The union men We're told, when their
purpose to get control of the construc-
ton of the building was made known,
that they would stand on a footing
with non-union men, so far as the con-
struction of the state house was con-
cerned. This was not satisfactory to
them, and they propose to get even
with the Pennsylvania authorities by
having the unions entire vote cast
against Mr.. Roosevelt.
If there were danger that the trades
unions were going to support Judge
Parker there would be considerable
hustling at the campaign headquar-
ters of the Republican party. As
there have been no signs of unusual
activity in that quarter the chances
are that the writer of the Philadelphia
dispatch must have been dreaming, or
else was mislead into making state
ments for which there was no au-
thority. Perhaps the union men of
Pennsylvania have decided not to
work on the state capitol at Harris
burg, but If all OF them should work
against Mr. Roosevelt they wouldn't
injure his chances of election much,
if any. The majority of the Repub-
lican party in that state is so large
that Mr.. Roosevelt could afford to lose
many thousands of votes there. If,
however, the unions should carry their
fight into the doubtful states they
might lessen his chances of election
greatly. There are no signs that they
propose doing that-at least no signs
outside of the Philadelphia dispatches.
OF course Judge Parker will get a part
of the labor vote-a pretty big part
but that the trades unions have taken
any action in the matter is hardly
probable.

Some political wiseacres in New
York profess to have discovered the
reason why the Hon. Thomas Taggart
does not leave Gotham and go back to
Indiana. They allege that he won't
go because the Democratic National
Committee will not give him the money
that he thinks is necessary to carry
Indiana for Parker and Davis. The
story has probably as much in it as
the average campaign canard, and no

One of the most interesting items i'm
our dispatches yesterday was that re-
lating to Mr.. r. r. Dominey's cotton
crop, raised on three acres of land
near Dublin, in Laurens county. 1t was
stated that Mr. Dominey had already
gathered, ginned and sold from the
land four bales averaging 572 pounds
each and that he would gather at
least one more bale, making Ave bales
to three acres. The dispatch con-
cluded; Mr.. Dominey is a cripple
and cannot walk without the aid of
crutches." This shows what can be
done on Georgia soil. and the showing
is all the more striking because 1t is
made by man unfortunately and
painfully handicapped physically. Mr..
Dominey is evidently one of those in
telligent farmers who realizes that he
must feed his land IL he expects It to
feed him And what this farmer has
accomplished others can do, by EN-
ploylng similar methods. There is no
better farming state in the world than
Georgia.

AT THE HYPERION.

With novelty piled upon novelty and catchy songs and dances in great pro- fusion, "Piff, Paff, Pouf," the musical cocktail, made the greatest hit Of the season when presented at the Hyperion last evening. It is easily understood why this exceptionally clever produc- tion was the rage on Broadway for so many weeks, and it's reception in. the cities where it is to be presented dur ing this tour should be enthusiastic from the spectators point of view and productive of much profit from the man. agerial side. "Piff, Paff, Pouff," with the inimitable Eddie Toy, and a host of others, compelled an audience of large proportions at the. Hyperion to smile, laugh and yell with inexpressible mer- riment, and this continued throughout the evening. The encores were so fre- quent and so incessant that it became necessary for MT. Foy to make speech in the middle of the second act.
 Like all successful musical comedies, "Piff, Paff, Pouf' is merely melange of funny things, sayings, doings bright songs, sprightly dances and novelties of various natures: In this 'tcocktail'' there is that exhilarating, something which turks in the liquid cocktail and brings delight and happiness to all who witness it's production. The comedy parts through. out are 2, exceptionally ] worked up and executed by a company of much ability, principally Alice Fish CT, Mable Rollins, Vinie Daly, R. E.

NO CHANCE YET MADE

 Taken No Action on the Subject.
 In regard to a statement which ap- peared in an evening paper yesterday that the Soldiers monument for the Sixth, Seventh and Tenth, c. w.; and First Light battery. intended for the little triangular park on Whitney ave- nue, at Trumbuil and Temple streets, and ordered there by the board of al- dermen, is to go to Broadway park, General B. S. Greeley, head of the committee on the monument, said last evening no change had been made in the matter, and none could be until au- thorization was given by the committee on monument, backed up by the board of aldermen. No meeting had been called and nothing had been done in the case by the committee. To make oNtSAA & Sh1hSC IIl6 ruOdEu or aldermen will have to authorize it. Y. People in Broadway and vicinity were undoubted- ly desirous of having the monument there and were raising funds for, that purpose. General Greeley further said that the monument committee was not strenuous in the matter. They had won in the contest to have the monument located on Whitney avenue. It had se- lected that site as it was unoccupied and a suitable site for a beautiful mon- ument in memory of the brave soldiers of the Civil war. After selecting the site opposition unexpectedly appeared The site on Broadway would be a fine site also for the monument. But as yet nothing had been done in the ease except by the patriotic people whe would like to have Broadway have the monument, and who are raising money for that object, hoping change will be | made.
