POLITICAL
OUTLOOK
NO SERIOUS CHANGE FROM
LAST WEEKS REPORT
BOTH PARTIES ARE ACTIVE
The Effect Of the Bryan Tour Not
Perceptible-Root' Book on
the Matter.
BOTH PARTIES ARE ACTIVE
(Bv Associated Press.)

New York, October 24.-If the last
week brought any decided change in
the general political situation, the
interested observers here have failed
to discover it. The betting odds have
moved up from 8 to l to to 1 on
Roosevelt and Fairbanks having a
majority in the electoral college.
Odds are now offered that the repub-
licans will carry the state Of New
York on the electoral ticket, and the
betting is even on the Higgins-Her-
rick race for governor of this state.
Of course, men who bet on cleo
tons haven't any exclusive Informal
ton, but their offers are indicative Of
the drift of popular feeling.
New York, Indiana and West Vir-
sinia are the only so-called doubtful
states about which the managers of
theRepubliean campaign are concern
ed. The success Of the Bryan tour
encouraged the Democrats at head
quarters, but Chairman Cortelyou
and his assistants expected just such
a revival of Democratic hopes follow
ing the tour of the Nebraskan.
The Democrats have planned to
crowd much work into the last two
weeks of the campaign with the hope
that the strong Republican drift may
be overcome. Former President
Cleveland $ speech here will no doubt
bring some of the haltins independ-
ents into line for Parker. but the
impression is that it will not help
the cause among the Bryan Demo
Gratis in Indiana and West Virginia.
"Hold what We have got,'' is the
injunction Chairman Cortelyou is
sending out from headquarters. He
believes the election of the Republic
can ticket is secure and that the
thing for the Republicans to do now
is to see that it does not slip away
from them. Stories are current here
trat the Democrats will have plenty
of money for use in the doubtful
states during the last few days Of
that campaign.
F. T. Roots of Connersville, will
make several speeches in New York
City this week for the Republicans.
His first appearance will be before
the Business Mems club Monday
noon. The New York committee has
ordered 100000 copies of his cam
raien pamphlet, ga Business Mans
Views.''

what way are Chamberlain s Stomach

binary cathartic and liver pills ?

one hardly realizes that it IS produced

PARKER AND THE SUGAR
TRUST

1t Is announced with a great flour
lsh OF Democratic trumpets that John
I. Havemeyer. of the Sugar Trust,
one of the great Havemeyer sugar
family. is out for Parker. Why. of
course! Is not Cord Meyer. of the
Sugar Trust, chairman of the New
York Democratic State Committee,
and Is not Patrick MeCarren. lobby
isl for the Sugar Trust, chairman Of
the Executive Committee of the Dem
ocratic State Committee? And who
ran the Democratic State convention
at Albany, that started Parker on the
road to Presidential nomination?
Why. the same Cord Meyer and
Patrick McCarren. assisted by Bel
mont and David B. Hill!
Of course the Havemeyers and the
Sugar Trust are against Roosevelt.
They could not control him as Presi-
dent. and they have "put up money"
for Parker's election to succeed him.
They must talk as they pay. must
they not? The poorer their invest
ment in Parker looks, the louder
must they talk against Roosevelt.
Even a trust magnate does not like
to lose is money.

q Vivid Imagination.

A furniture dealer tells a little story
that shows how some people are consti-
tuted. A lady ordered an elegant easy
chair Of a peculiar kind. 1t was made
and sent to her house. She examined
it carefully and critically, finally re-
marking that it suited her exactly,
with one eXception-it was too soft
She sent the chair back to be made a
trife harder 1t was returned to the
shop and put aside. Nothing was done
to it. After lapse of about a week
the chair was sent out again. The lady
again examined it and now found it too
hard. She was sorry, but when she
paid so much to get an article for her
own comfort she wanted it just right
so she sent it back to the shop for an
other change. The chair was again put
aside for a week or ten days and sent
out for the third time without the least
alteration. This time it was just right
She took the chair, paid for it and was
sorry it had not suited her at first. The
poor woman @ever knew that the chair
had not been changed particle.

The story of a Discovery.

How many valuable inventions have
been the result of pure accident, while
In other cases men have puzzled their
brains with study for lifetime and
brought forth nothing!
1t happened one night that a big
starch factory on the banks Of the Lif-
fey, near Dublin, took fire, and great
puddles of starch and water were left
outside.
Some calico printers who had been
out all night and were quite tipsy came
along toward morning, and one of them
stumbled into one of the puddles. He
found it SO sticky that all his clothes
stuck to him SO fast that he had to stay
in bed next morning till his wife soak
ed them out.
The man knew from his trade that
the starch and water had formed a
very powerful and valuable gum He
went back to the place of the fire and
investigated, and the result was the
discovery of the adhesive gum now
used in sticking postage stamps and
which has made many rich. But tenn
perance lecturers need not know it

Men Who TiDDEe.

I am sure you must often congratu-
late yourself. as I do myself. that you
are not like men who seem to suffer
from perpetual thirst and cannot even
sit through a three act play without
going out for a drink. | was reading
mans novel the other day, and in ev
cry few pages there was something
about drinks. l wonder how many
times a day an average man of fashion
has a drink. To judge from the book
in question. at least twice between
breakfast and luncheon. two or three
times between luncheon and dinner
and after dinner up to somewhere in
the small hours at very short intervals.
How ruinous this must be to the con-
stitution! How dulling to the brain!
And what a fine specific for shortening
life! But it is the fashion. and men are
slaves of fashion quite as much as wo-
men are; in matters of eating and
drinking even more so.-London- Truth.

An Elephant story.

An elephant train was on its way
from Lucknow to Seetapore, and one
elephant. becoming lame, knelt down
and refused to go on. The elephant
next in the column stopped of it's own
accord and when driven on turned
back and began without instructions
to remove some part of the load. In
stances of aid rendered by birds to
others in distress may also be found,
showing that the instinct Of sympathy
exists and takes form in action when
the causes of the sufferings are such
that the fellow bird can understand
and see it's way to remedy.-London

DresSiD~ bv Lottery.

The girls employed in the English pot
teries are good looking and well dress
ed. They have taste, which is cultivated
by the art work of the factories. Many
of them are more stylish perhaps than
their position seems to warrant, but
this is easily explained. They buy
their clothes by system known as
maxims. This means that twelve
girls subscribe shilling a week. The
money is held by a forewoman, and
when there lis sufficient cash to buy a
hat or dress the girls draw lots, and
the winner has the new dress, while
the other subscribers have to wait their
turn. Then, in all the glory of ribbons
and finery, the lucky pot girl appears
on Sunday.-London Spectator.

it's closing scene the murder of a Swed-

politely begged to know what fault he

Falcons, hawks-the largest species

when the Danes Pfnaged.

In former times the Danes used to
sail up the mouths of the English riv-
ers to pillage the churches. When they
were caught they were skinned and
their skins nailed to the door of the
church they attacked. In course OF
time all the exposed portion would peel
off, but that covered by the nail would
be protected and thus bear testimony
to the cruelty of the ancient English
men. In the London College of Sur
geons may be seen three specimens of
human skin bearing labels such as
this: "Portion Of human skin said to be
that of a Dane from the door Of a
church at Hadstock, in Essex" A sec
ond specimen is from Copford, in Es-
sex, and third from the north door of
Worcester cathedral. Such fragments
Of sacrilegious Danish hide have been
