FAIR A SUCCESS.
Music Hall Crowded-Blarney Stone
 Popular Attraction.

Interest increases in the big Hiber- nian fair which is being held at Music hall. Hundreds of people visited the scene of merriment last night the floor being crowded and the galleries packed.
 The booths seemed we'll patronized, and the attendants at the Irish cot tage, where buttermilk and cider are served, were kept busy supplying the demands for refreshment.
 There are the Ruins at Lough Erne, where foreign cards are sold; St. Law renee Tate, Drogheda, with attractive souvenirs to tempt the passer-by; the Oratory, Kerry, with dolls and canes for it's particular stock in trade; Ruins of Kells, Kilkenney, with vari- ous fancy articles displayed; part of Donegal Castle, where candy may be found; Ross Castle, Killarney, an- other most festive booth, where rugs, embroideries and silks are shown; Kilcolman Castle is the castle of sweets also, and the Kildare races at tract large crowd, as is usually the case at all fairs where races are. in order.
 But the most popular and amusing attraction is Blarney Castle, with it's historical and far-famed blarney stone, which may be kissed by all who pay the price, and it is doing its share toward swelling the funds which are needed to make the hoped-for sue oaee of the entertainment of the
 tests of next August

FUNDS ARE GUARANTEED
FOR SWEDISH CHALLENGER
Yachtsmen Prepared to Chal- lenge for America's Cup
 With 90-Footer.

Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 14-Wil- liam Olsen and Goesta Kyhlberger, who are at the head of the movement here to build a challenger for the Americas cup, say that a large DOT tlon of the money required to con- struct and sail 90-footer, estimated at about $1S9,O00, has already been subscribed, Many large manufactur- CTS have offered to furnish material gratis, the captain and the three mates will sail her without pay the designer will accept no compensation for his work and the builders only will charge the net cost of the con struction. Messrs. Olson and Kyhl- berger think they will now be able to guarantee funds even for 95-footer, if required.
 The report that the Swedish club intends challenging with either 70 or a 95 footer in order to compel the New York Yacht club to build new defender has no foundation. The Swedish yachtsmen are prepared to challenge with 9O-footer and all re- ports to the contrary are sharply de- nounced in the Swedish papers.
 The seeming nonchalance of the New York Yacht club m replying to tho inquiry Of the Swedish club was commented upon in strong terms to- day at . meeting of prominent Swed- ish yachtsmen. The majority of those present believed this was in fact an advantage as it had aroused keener interest in Sweden, which was result ing in 0 determination to do every thing possible to bring about a race,

NEW BRITAIN TO BE STRONG.
Report of Signing of Several Polo
 Stars.

New Britain is evidently going to have a strong polo team. They are sending out reports that Fred Jeans is sure to play with the Bank Wreckers. Bill Ramon, the man with the big rep utation, has been signed to tend goal. He will have Soxy Lyons in front of him at halfback. Lyons is not very well known about this section but the players all speak highly of him. Frank Warner and Schiller will probably be the rushers with Jeans at center.
 This means that Hughie Devlin, the man with the beautifully scalfoped hair will seek another job. Hartford may land him. It Is well known fact that Harry Starkie is looking for new halfback.
 Cameron, who is to be halfback for George Cunningham's Pawtucket team, is touted as wonder. He'll have to move a little to have anything on our delicate young friend, Pete Woods.

 The score of two of the dipper leagues first games is given as to 0. Did they play to a tie, or is the fact that no tallies were made, due to the possibility that they did not play at all?

Financing the Dan Patch Air Line.

1.-The small investor is far safer in
a company that gets it's entire work
ing capital by the sale OF it's stock
than in the one that floats it's bonds
on Wall Street.
This statement made few days ago
by Judge A. M. Harrison of Mime
apolis, sounds true note in finance
and is of general and vital interest in
this day of universal investment.
Coming from such an eminent source,
it is certainly worthy of heedful
thought.
Judge Harrison was conversing
with friend about the financing and
prospects of the Minneapolis, st.
Paul. Rochester and Dubuque Electric
Traction Company now building an
electric interurban from Minneapolis
to Dubuque. Iowa He is not stock
holder nor interested in the Dan
Patch Airline except as every good
citizen is interested in any project
looking o the betterment of his city
and country.
Continuing on this interesting
subject the judge said, "tn an un-
bonded company. the stockholders are
not in danger of having the mortgage
foreclosed and being squeezed out
with loss of their investment The
small stockholders own and control
the road, they have an active voice ip
its management and they form an
army of boosters who alone greatly
increase the value of the stock and
the road The financing OF company
by the direct sale of stock is the ideal
way and for that reason am pleased
| to hear that President Savage pro.
poses to follow it in financing this
new interurbau of his. 1t is a. her.
culean task, but Mr.. Savage is used
to doing big things and his success
in this will bring widespread salts
faction. 1t is great project. 1t
opens up great country and it will
mean untold advantages to our city
and to every town and farm along
the line. !"
When told of Judge Harrison's re-
marks. President Savage smiled and
said. Il am glad to hear that 1t
shows we are getting the confidence
of the best people-the people who
know. l appreciate the immense task
it will be to finance this road without
any help from the money sharks on
Wall Street. but it can be done. II
will be done. and when it is done,
the people and not the trusts will own

Allison done Well for more than
forty years, in every government

the legislation helm and his counsel
has been sought by every president
from Lincoln to Roosevelt. His word
is accepted without question on all
matters relating to the expenditures
of over seven hundred millions of dol
lars year, by every member of con-
gress, and today his advice would be
listened to by more people in the
Uaited Statets han would that of any
other living American. The whole
American republic. except few fell
lows in Iowa, know what Allison has
done. What would James A. Gar

When one considers that ten years
ago 325 pound hog bought thous-
and feet of lumber and today hog
weighing only 225 pounds buys the
same amount, it is rot so bad for the
farmer after all. This in the face of
the fact that the increase in the price
of lumber has been great. And so it
is all along the line with the excep-
tion of the wares of the newspaper
man and few other unfortunates that
might be mentioned. Practically
everything the farmer has to sell has
advanced to a degree never before
attained, and we are glad of it. The
man who has health and good
