Further evidence of efforts to ,n- timidate workingmen to vote for
 Taft have come to the attention of
 the democratic national committee.
 The latest scheme of republicans is to threaten them with panic and
 hard times in the event of the elec- tion of MT Bryan and comes from In- dianapolis. The schemers in order to escape the charge of coertion have hidden themselves behind the high sounding title of "Workingmen's s Protective association" No one ap- pears to know just what this organ ization is, but recently employees of the Nordyke and Marmon Co. the Udell Woodenware works, the Bemis Bag Co and other manufacturing concerns of Indianapolis have re- ceived typewriter circulars urging them to vote for Taft or face the danger of panic, soup houses and business disaster for the next four years. The circular explains the re- cent republican panic as temporary financial furry" caused by bankers, and declares that wreck and ruin will follow a democratic revision of the tarif. It declares that "the shops will close" if the democracy is successful and revises the sched- ules. The circular concludes with

ALFONSO IN A HURRY.

Before leaving for France after his recent visit to England, King Ali fonso made a cali on a we'll known firm of jewellers in Regent street. After a cursory glance around the show rooms he looked at his watch and exclaimed:
 T wish to buy few thing% but am In q great hurry"
 He purchased number of sets of game bird menu holders in silver and enamel, a gold elephant charm. some handsome diamond ornaments, and other pieces of jewelry, then re- marking that he had only 10 min- utes in which to catch his train suddenly swept up all the articles from the counter and. without vait- ing for them evep to be put in pa- per, thrust them into his pockets and vas gone. the visit occupying Inst three mfhutess-Ladie6 Pictorial.

Beer on draught, or keg beer, is now being sold in Mexico so those who visit that country can get their schooner just the same as in the states. Heretofore bottled beer was the only kind available, but the sales were comparatively small because only few of the local inhabitants could afford to pay 25 cents Mexican per bottle. Beer at 10 cents Mexi- can per glass is proving popular, and it's consumption will doubtless in- crease, while that of mescal will de- crease. As yet there does not seem to be an opening for the American beer.

Biographers of famous men of let ters have lately been unearthing evi- dence that tends to throw the blame of the shortcomings of certain gift ed ones upon their wives, says a writer in Uncle Remus. This has been repeatedly done in the in- stances of Byron and Shelley, and now We learn, through three vol ume collection of Wordsworth's let ters-many of them to and about Coleridge-that the abortive genius of the latter poet was due, not to opium but to an uncongenial wife. We are told that during those years when posterity has pictured the poet incoming in his study or monologuing to his brothers of the, pen, he was really struggling" to adjust his impossible domestic rela- tions and giving ''the marvellous powers of his mind to the fore> doomed task of developing in Mrs Coleridge qualities of intellect and of intemperament which nature had denied her." The stultifying effect of this association accounts-it is said-for the fragmentary character of Coleridge's productions, this be- ing proved by the wonder of work he accomplished during the miraculous year" of his first association with the domestically harmonious Words worths, particularly with Dorothy Wordsworth, whose letters are by far the most charming in this col lection. The mills of the gods keep grinding, and by and by somebody will be giving us Mrs Coleridge's side of the matter as was done in the case of Jennie Carlyle-and another light will be flashed upon the ques- tion of blame.

The photographic records of pop ular political speeches have been one of the new and distinctive fea- lures of the present campaign. MT Bryan was first approached by the talking machine people. At the time he was criticised by some par tisan republicans for permitting the use of his speeches in photograph records, but it is now matter of history that Judge Taft and other public speakers followed his exam pie. One of the representatives of a talking machine company, who has had a prominent part in obtaining the consent of public men to talk in photograph records. says that

The managers of the Taft March ing club about which we heard so much are respectfully requested to take note of the Democratic March ing club, which turned out 250 strong last night without any great effort or hustle.

the demand for these so-called can ned speeches The wealthy and the poor alike enjoy the privilege of owning photographs and there is no bigger seller than the records con- taining extracts of speeches of the presidential candidates. To date we have sold more than 600. 1000 records of MT Bryan's speeches. Judge Taft's speeches have not attained sales of such large proportions. Among wealthy classes. especially in the cities, MT Taft's speeches have been in great demand, but Mir Bry- an is far ahead of him, especially among the farmers. We knew the sales would be big, but the demand for the Bryan speeches have far surpassed our expectations.

cussed this subject time and again,
with working men themselves, both in
this campaign and prior to his nomin-
alton. He has been willing to express
his position clearly and to assure work
ing men that to protect them in their
rights he is willing to go to the limits
of what he considers justice, but that
he will not go farther. His definition
of justice to labor does not as we I'M
derstand it, include either of the prin-
ciples contained in Mr.. Gomper's pro-
gram as set forth officially in this
bill.
Does Mr.. Bryan disagree with Mr..
Taft on these propositions?

But Prices Hold Steady.

Chicago, Oct. 22-Cattle offerings
were liberal for Thursday, and demand
was tame. Prices were weak, except
for choice steers, which held steady.
Three days receipts this week
totaled $500, against 59,415 a week
ago and 1900 a year ago, while of this
supply there has been $4,000 rangers,
against 1880 a week ago and $1,000
year ago. Heavier supplies than last
week have included, as well as liberal
increase in rangers, considerably
larger proportion of plain and medium
quality, short-fed and warmed-up ma
tives, as we'll as the Missouri and
Kansas grassers. Lower prices for
these grades have been only natural
consequence of bigger receipts than de-
mand called for. The comparatively
short supplies of well-fnished beeves,
mainly those Of value above $500. have
not changed much in value from last
weeks closing bulk being off 10c.
while common, medium and good kill
ers, with yesterdays decline added to
Mondays lower range, showing largely
15@25c drop from the close last week,
such classes being on lowest basis of
the season. One little lot of fancy
yearlings sold at $3.50 Thursday. and
a big drove of prime heavy beeves
went at $7.55, the same price as paid
for a drove of the same feeding on
Monday.

A year ago yesterday the market
was in pandemonium condition, owing
to the inception of the financial furry
in New York. A 20@30-cent decline
was recorded and 10000 had to be car
ried over. Most of the packers being
on the fence, an early top was made
at $685., but $6.15 was the top on the
bottom Of the break. Plenty of hogs
had to sell soc to 81 below country
cost.

Sheep trade was slow, there being
no outside demand. Prices held steady.
One surprising feature to the trade
is the number of warmed-up, half-fat.

to sell at less than cost prices, when
they went out: however. this happens
every year. 1t seems as If people are
anxious to take a chance. and believe
sheep can get fat without anything to
