struck by shells. In the upper par; tie

The sculptured decoration and statuary
were irreparably destroyed.
Burning straw caused rious DAMAGE
To- the Interior. The facings Of the

Thomas Brainerd, ST., as a. prospec-

Brainerds live in a log cabin in the

Fiaht Ie Out.

st. Louis Republic: Tammany Hall
remains an issue in New York state
politics despite the tremendous tail
twisting given the tiger in the last
municipal election. Upstate demo-
Gratis and anti-Tammanyites every
where are showing a disposition to
have it out with the New York tiger
breed and their supporters over the
state.
It must be said to the credit of
Tammany Hall that the battered old
organization is entirely ready. for eth
er a fight or a frolic with it's oppo-
nents. Challenged by an anti-Tam-
many New Yorker, n Montgomery
Hare, to put the state control to a
test by placing a Tammany and an
anti-Tammany ticket on the demo-
cratic primary ballot, one of the Muir
phyites seconded the gentleman's mo-
ton and accepted the challenge before
1t was more than out Of the chal-
lenger's mouth.
This rs as good a year as any for
the Tammanyites and the antis to set
tie the matter OF state supremacy.
Such a struggle would be watched
with interest. Possibly some of the
inner secrets Of Tammanyism might
be dragged to light and a few UNI
worthy gentlemen permanently retired
from leadership in the state and the
city. Should Tammany win 1t would
only be another call to battle for de-
cent democrats.

Tho Real Amount Of Business.

Financial review in New York
Times: AS things are, 1t is difficult to
gauge the real amount Of business
that is being done. Those best in
formed believe that, so far as the tex
tiles are concerned, the volume Of
sales will compare very f~aVOrably
with previous seasons. In silks this is
known to be the case absolutely. In
cotton and woolens, there is one fact
that is beyond dispute. and that Is that
the mills have continued to take larger
quantities of the raw materials than
ever before. The purchases Of cotton
down south for consumption have
shown this for some time, and so have
those Of wool here and abroad. It Is
also pretty we'll understood that the
stocks of manufactured goods on hand
are not over large.
Passing along the indicia Of the
moment and looking to the future, the
belief has become all but universal
that the corner Of INDIGESTION aud I'M
certainty has been turned and that the
last half Of the present year Is bound
to show a remarkable revival of bust
ness in practically every line. The
yield Of the earth is. Of course, one Of
the principal factors on which the be-
lief is based. No n Is disposed to
minimize the potency of a phenon-
enally large wheat crop now ready
for the garnering nor Of the other
products Of field and farm. But, be-
yond these, there are the evidences Of
large buying power shown in the bank
deposits all owe the country. The
very restrictions imposed on that
power for many months, due to uncer-
~tainties Of diverse kinds, will cause 1t
to be manifested with greater en-
phasis when 1t is in evidence as 1t
must soon be. The buying will be
because of real needs, and the shelves
p~aratively bare, will have to be re-
plenished. Evidences that the time is
at hand have been afforded in the trade
sales in this and other centers during
the last fortnight.
Toward the middle of next month.
when the great bulk of the buyers
will be in town, there will be better
