OLD AND NEW ISSUES
WEAKNESS OF Ex.PRESlDENT
CLEVELAND'S POSITION.
While the Former Democratic Leader
Criticises Organism, He Foreets
That the Questions He Raises Also
Have Been Passed Upon.

Grover Cleveland has declared his
belief that there is an opportunity for
Democratic success in the coming
presidential election.
But the former Preslden: names
conditions under which that oppor-
tunity must be embraced which will
not appeal to all the Democrats in
the land. He says in the first place
that the fighting forces of the Democ-
racy must not be summoned to q
third defeat in a strange cause. They
must be given the true rallying cry.
OF course he means that Organism.
in all its phases must be abandoned.
"Obsolete issues and questions no
longer challenging popular interest"
he says, should be manfully aban-
doned." That. of course, applies to
the issues raised by Bryan, but in the
next breath Mr.. Cleveland urges the
raising of the issue of tariff reform,
and an appeal to the people for
economy in the expenditure of public
money, as we'll as an arraignment of
the Republicans for having made and
broken promises. He would also at
tacl: the Republican policy with re-
spect to the Philippines.
But is not Mr.. Cleveland toying
with obsolete issues himself? Did
not the American people put the seal
of their disapproval upon tariff reform
in 1896? Did they not express their
approval Of the Philippine policy in

Mastodon Tooth In Tennessee.

A magnificent and perfect mastodon
tooth was unearthed at the Tennessee
Marble company's property near Con.
cord few days ago, and was brought
to Knoxville, where 1t has created con-
siderable curiosity. The tooth was
found in making a dam for the opera
ton Of hydraulic ram. The tooth is
fossil, but identically like the origi-
nal tooth. 1t shows every indenture
and surface condition of real tooth.
1t is about seven inches in length
across the crown and about four
inches wide. The roots are perfect.
except where broken off near the
points. The broken places show
the hollow part Of the tooth. 1t Is
thought that the tooth is the only
part Of the mastodon to be found at
the place, the tooth being probably
carried to the place by water.-Knox.

New Explosion Motor for Boats

seaside may attach it to any boat he
finds there that is within it's range

the boat being steered by varying

A cliff Of natural glass can be seen
In Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. 1t Is
half a mile long and from one hun
dred and fifty to two hundred and
ninety feet high, the material of which
1t consists being as good glass as that
artificially manufactured, The dense
glass which forms the base is from
seventy-fve to one hundred feet thick.
while the upper portion, having suf-
fered and survived many ages OF wind
and rain, has naturally worn much
thinner. or course, the color of the
cliff is not that of natural glass

EFFECT OF AN APPARlTloN.
Belief In Its Commences Caused
Mind to Give Way.

Mind to Give Way.
A college Ctory that is often told
at Harvard is cited sometimes a.
showing the effect of an appGrition
upon the one who beholds IL.
The story is of youth who took
1t into his wise head TO endeavor &c
convert an infdel companion of his
by appearing as q ghost before him
He accordingly dressed himself up in
the usual ghost attire, having previ'
ously extracted the ball from pistol
which always lay near the head OF
his friends bed.
Upon first awakening and seeing
the apparition, Brown, the youth who
was to be frightened, very coolly
looked his companion, the ghost, in
the face and said:
Il know you; this is a good joke;
you see l am not alarmed. Now you
may vanish
The ghost stood still.
GO on, now said Brown. THAT
is enough. | shall become angry. Get
out Of here"
Still the ghost did not move.
by -" burst forth Brown, 81!
you don't get out of here in three
minutes I'll show you"
He waited the time stated, delib
erately leveled his pistol and fired
When he saw that the immovable
figure stood stock still Brown uttered
a shrek of fright, became convulsed
and soon afterward died.
The very moment he believed it tC
be ghost his human nature gave
way.

Bio Export Totals.

The statistics of the exports OF do
nestle products, including breadstuffs,
live stock, provisions, raw cotton and
mineral oils, for the eight months up
to Feb. 80, show that the factors Of
production on which the United
States has always relied for large
share of it's foreign trade are still do
ing their work. The exports of bread
stuffs by themselves are the lowest
for six years, and show a steady and
rather unsatisfactory decrease since
1899. But the gain in other respects
particularly live stock, cotton and
mineral oils-more than counterbal-
ances this loss, and makes a total of
$500, 730,95G, or $8,000,OO0 more than
the total for 1901, which has hereto
fore been the banner year in this re-
spect This gain is somewhat neu-
tralized by the decrease in exports of
manufactures not statistically report
ed in the bulletin before u.s. But the
grand totals still leave a comfortable
margin in our favor from our foreign
trade.

Rose Cottage" said Molly Page.
That's it. + could cry when l think
1t ought to be mine!"
Two girls had dismounted from
their bicycles, and stood staring at
long, low, UNCOVERED cottage. The
hedge inclosing it's garden was dotted
with wild roses, and the air was allVe
with sounds of summer.
Then did old Mr.. Harvey tell you
he'd leave it to you?" asked the 9th
er girl sympathetically.
why, many time! He took
great fancy to me because l used to
go and read to him when he was in
Westbourne Square, and he was al
ways talking about his cottage in the
country. Then he died awfully sud
denly, you know, and there was no
will; and it's gone, with everything
else, to q Philistine of a nephew in
Australia. l know he'll want to level
it and SOW the ground with bush or
something! Those clodhopping farm
ers always take it as a personal in
suit if there's anything between them
and the sky line!'
II suppose it's empty now? | wish
we could see over it, don't you? said
Mary Fordham.
There's a man working in the gar
den. We might ask, perhaps" said
Molly doubtfully.
They propped up their bicycles and
walked toward the gate. Molly hest
tatingly accosted a blue-shirted back
which bent over rosebud.
do you happen to know If there'd
be any objection to our seeing over
the cottage? l knew the late owner
very WELL"
The back Strengthened itself in

vidual faced the questioner.

His voice was pleasant and cul-
tured, and the crimson rushed into
Molly's cheeks.

He perfectly understood the workings
of the mind of this pretty young wom-

said, I'm well-well, gardener and

thing else till Mr.. Hamilton arrives.

Australia, and I've come over to see
to some of his affairs, and get things
a bit straight for him. I'm trying to
reduce this place to something like
order"
He strobe to the end of the garden
picked up loose short coat from the
grass, and thrust his long arm into its
sleeves. Then, with an easy "At your
SERVICE" he led the way toward the
house.
1t was a house calculated to delight
any woman's heart-a house with
long, low rooms, and quaint, unex
pected corners and recesses suggest
ing delightful possibilities in the mat
ter of furnishing.
"Oh!" she gasped, as they stood In
