DAVIS IN BUSINESS.
Sample Of the Vice Presidential
Nominees sagacity.


Nominees sagacity.
Walter Crowder Of West Virginia
tells number of good stories about
the business sagacity Of ex-senator
Henry G. Davis, the Democratic vice
presidential candidate says the Kansas
City Journal. Here Is one:
"About thirty years ago he wanted
to buy some coal lands without letting
the owner know he wanted them. The
owner wanted to sell without letting
Davis know he wanted to. 1t took the
two long time to get together. SO ex-
cessively cautious were they. Finally,
however, they met and came abruptly
to the scratch.
"'How muchY asked Davis.
IA cool million and not Il cent less,
the other replied.
"'Give you $15O.OOO.' said Davis, and
not cent morc.'
I'm less than two hours Davis got
the property for $4Co,0OO and made a
splendid bargain. After everything was
settled and tie money paid over Davis
said:
"'Why Cid you ask me S1.G0O.O0o for
that landy The seller replied:
because l thought you'd be fool
enough to give it. Why did you offer
me $15O,OOO:
"'Because thought you'd be fool
enough to take it. They laughed, wink.
ed, shook hands and have been close
friends ever SINCE"

MAKING SLOW ADVANCE.
japanese Are Not Moving A. Rapidly A.
Russians Expected.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29.-Move-
ments at the front, so far as disclosed
BY the meager dispatches received
here, are confined almost to continu-
Gus outpost skirmishes by means Of
which General Kuropatkin is keeping
In close touch with the japanese along
the whole Of their front. Field Mar
shall Oyama's advance appears to be
extremely deliberate. There are no
indications as yet that he has begun
to overlay Russian positions.
Reinforcements are rapidly arriving
at Mukden and many orvalescents
are already returning 70 duty. II 10
reported that General Kuropatkin has
made requisition upon the authori.
ties here for additio-al officers to
make up the heavy losses iu killed
and wounded In the battle OF Liao
Yang.
LONDON, Sept. %. The Daily
Mail's Liao Yang correspondent says:
The winter equipment for the Japanese
troops 10 completed. Fresh supplies
Of ammunition have arrived and the
army Is ready to march At moments
notice.
TOXIC, Sept. 2S.-The government
has decided to float another domestic
loan Of 90, ,0o0, 600 on conditions sim
liar to the last. It Is probable tha,
the conscription will be amended, in
creasing the service in the reserve five
years. and making the regular reserve
service total II years and five months
This means q large increase in the
strength OF the army.

Attempt to Wreck warship,

NEW York, Sept. 2s.-The Herald
says: With the intention of running
the hull OF the battleship Connecticut,
which is to be launched at the New
York navy yard tomorrow, some per.
son or persons placed an obstacle in
the ways. When it was placed there,
or by whom, is not known, as 1t was
not discovered until the divers were
sent down to make an investigation.
This investigation was made as a
matter of precaution and the naval Of
ticers then learned that an obstruction
had been placed on the ways tha,
would have destroyed the work ot
months.

No Western Headquarters.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-An apparent
settlement for the present of the ques.
ton of the establishment of western
democratic headquarters was announ.
ced at the ational committee rooms to.
day. Members of the executive board
said no such headquarters would be
established, and Chairman Taggart
said that letters and kilograms re.
ceived today made it appear that the
establishment of such headquarters
was unnecessary.
Mr.. Taggart expects to 60 west and
also to visit such other points as seem
necessary, but unless something at
present unforeseen occurs there will be
no regular western branch, and the
campaign will be managed from this
city.

aration Of over Forty Years.
Every encalnpment OF the Grand Ar

Herald, has its unexpected meetings oi
comrades who have not seen each othe:
since the civil war. One Of the most
striking Of these occurred In u School
street restaurant in Boston at the re-

81 Greenville, Mich, who was first
..cnant Of Company ., Fourth New
4-.sMpshire volunteers, was eating his
dinner when another veteran, sitting
opposite, said, "Well, comrade. what
regiment were you in?"
Colonel Jennison answered and then
asked the stranger who his flrst lieu
tenant was. The man replied. "A fel-
low Of the name Of Jennison." "Weli,
am he" responded the colonel. And
the two men then shook hands for the
arst time In forty-two years. The 9th
er party to this pleasant encounter was
8. A. Putnam Of Hyannis.
A group Of veterans wearing the red
diamond badge outlined by gold cord
on their hats were standing on fremont
street when an old fellow wearing the
same badge 'butted in and said, "Hel-
