!: One Discordant Note.

In these days of good business and
favorable reports from all parts of the
country, there is but one discordant
note. 1t comes from the center Of the
high-class and ultra conservative bust:
ness of bond fotation. The rich New
York houses who make a business of
bringing out large issues Of railroad
industrial bonds, and who bid for
municipal issues that appear attractive,
have found it dull for months, and
reports today make the situation even,
less encouraging.
It is not difficult to find reasons for
this, The country is using the money.
So many firms are putting money back
into their business and there is so, much
new building by the railroads and gen
eral Improvement turnout the country,
that less opportunity exists for the ac-
emulation of idle funds. The individ-
ual investor also has less money seeking
safety and the small return, and larger
profit even with some necessary risk
has proved the more attractive. -.
There is also an increased interest
in real estate the country over. In
New York and vicinity there has been
boom. The Wall street banker or
bond seller detests real estate ad-
vance that draws money away. There
is much talk now heard Of the over
doing of real estate activity in New
York. and it is true that there has
been an enormous expenditure of money
In new structures, especially hotels and
office buildings. %. .a .e-r...
The dullness in the bond business is
therefore the strongest evidence Of &C
tive business In other channels. AS to
the real estate activity the Indications
in the west are for an increase rather
than for any recession. New York may

NIGHT, STORM, SEA,
II TN WILD BALLOON
Thrilling Experiences of Aeronaut
Francis Silva, Rescued by
Fishermen.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Boston, July AFTER a thrilling ex-
perience, j. K. Allen, the aeronaut, was
rescued from drowning off Block island
by the crew of the fishing schooner
Frances V. Silva Thursday morning and
brought into Boston.
Mr.. Allen assembled his balloon from
Providence July 4, in the midst of
storm, and before he was rescued at
sea, eighteen and a half hours later,
he had gathered as many hair-raising
experiences as some balloonists encoun-
ter in lifetime.
At 1880 Thursday morning the men
on the Silva saw Allen and tried to
catch his line. They failed, but one of
dragrope Is path, and one of, the dory
men seized it. With the aid of the
other dory the fishermen pulled him in.
Mr.. Allen s troubles began soon af-
ter he left Providence. He was flying
very low-in fact, so low that he
bumped up against house and his
dragrope got afoul of fagpole.
- Then Mr.. Allen began throwing out
sand until he was two miles, up.

Allen. 1t was blowing something

some gas and came down a little to

commend itself to all who have con-
sidered what the enforced restraint Of
the service is to men. who are In the
prime Of life and in the most rugged
physical condition. Exercise they can
have, and games are practicable to a
limited degree, but the leisure hours
Of the fremen often hang heavily, like
those Of the soldier in time Of peace.
Mental improvement is not often
sought Systematically by either class
because the incentive is lacking. The
fireman does not see that he. can rise
higher. in his profession by study, but
he may obtain good deal Of recrea-
ton out Of course Of reading which
will make him not only happier but
more useful man. There are minis

fight them in books. There are stores
of helpful hints about population habits
which would be Of assistance to the
fireman mentally alert and we'll read.
Then there is splendid inspiration in
the heroism Of members of the profes.

THE VALUE OF A cATcHWoRD.-
Politicians have always been aware Of
the inestimable value Of q taking catch
word. A good catchword persistently re-
iterated is often better than a good
cause, and infinitely better than a good
argument. both for purposes Of attack
and OF defense, says "Chronicle and

General Scott was kept out Of the presi-
dency by the changes which were rung

the democrats in $780,; and the very same
doctrine ingeniously styled reciprocity"
saved the republicans in 1888. But we

fectly despicable cause, as within the
past few months. Banks. life insurance

Even the president helped to spread this
