Prosperity Continues Except in Isolated
Snots-Crops Conditions.

New York. Sept. 21-Whie there are
a few bad or uncertain spots in the
business situation, they are not sun i

and in some respects, brilliant outlook
The deterioration in cotton crop con-
ditions has been followed by one of the
worst tropical storms in over fifteen
wears. which has inflicted further dam

reDorted in the corn belt. But While
there is to be a reduced yield of cotton
and a corn harvest not SO large as was
indicated a short time ago, the general
farm production promises TO be in eX-
cess of last year. with a money value
of exceptional proportions. The move

SUN SPOTS THE CAUSE.
Astronomer Attributes Electrical Dis
turbance to New Cause.

Milwaukee, Sept 27.-Father Nc
Geary. professor of astronomy at Mar
Quette University, announced the dis
covery on Saturday Of a great sun
spot which his observation showed to
be about 80 600 miles in diameter, and
- which he ascribes the strange cleo
trical disturbance Saturday afternoon
which disabled the telegraph systems
in America and Europe.
Professor McGeary believes this sun
spot, instead of the aurora boreals,
was responsible for the electrical dis
turbance on Saturday. and thinks that
the combination of the big sun spot,
the fact that Mars is closer than for
many years, combined with the north
ern lights TO disturb the electrical con-
ditions on earth.
Professor McGeary was formerly
head of the Jesuit corps of earthquake
observers in the Philippine islands

crops, more especially sugar cane, but
to what extent is not yet definitely
known owing to the interruption OF
news. The damage in the city itself Is
not heavy and no industries or large
buildings were affected. Some sections
of the country tributary to the city
have sustained heavy damage. The
movement of rice continues quite

rough rice offered and a disposition on
the part of sellers to hold for better
prices.

the leading retail lines Wholesale

Democrats and Republicans Have
Champion Seeking Nomination.
Denver, Colo, Sept. 27.-women as
opposing candidates for congress now
is the outlook in the First district of
Colorado, Which includes Denver.
The agitation for a women congress-
man from Colorado started several
months ago with the announcement
that Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker, presi-
dent of the National Federation of
Woman's Clubs, was willing TO make
the race. She is a democrat. The SEN

animously Endorsed Mrs. Dewey G.
Bailey, president of the Denver Wom-
ans Club and wife of the United
States marshal of Colorado, as can
dida,e for the republican nomination
from the First district.
A short time ago it was believed
Mrs Ruth Bryan Leaviet. a daughter
of W. J. Bryan. would make race
for the nomination, but many think,
since her Chicago interview attacking
suffrage. she may no longer be seek
ing the place.

How the 4Toast" Originated.

The drinking TO ones health is a
very old custom, dating way down the
ages. In the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries the favoTite drinks
were sack, canary, claret, eherry-to
which were added honey, sugar. ginger
and other spices. On the top Of this
mixture piece Of toasted bread was
always floated. It was supposed to
give the necessary flavor. Hence the
Idea of drinking toast" The word
is used in reference to any sentiment
proposed for speech at q social
gathering or banquet. In fact, the
making Of "toasts" Is very graceful
art, worthy of cultivation.
