A new hotel would be botind to bring capital here from the north, and Griffin naed outside capital. She has used home capital almost exclusively hereto fore. Our own people have shown confi donee in the future of our city by using home capital in building the var ous en terprises that have been built here with in the last few years. There will be a change of schedule on tho Central on Sunday. The principal change will be that an up train will pass the down train here at 8:20 a. m. and the 11:30 a. m. up traiu will be taken off.

You get up Jn the morning, go through the daily routine, and then to bed at night. Same thing day iu and day out. There is a good deal iu the old question, ‘Is life worth living?’ ” concluded Dumley, with a Bigb, “and I realize it more and more!” *T don’t know but what jou aro right, Dumley,” respondedJBrown, somewhat depressed “Won’t yon go over to Dock's and have a drink?” ‘‘No, I haven’t time’ I'm on my way to the doc tor’s. I caught a little cold this morn ing, and I feel kind of nervous about it.’- __ PRESSOPINIONS, What Metropolitan Journals Say ef th e Ticket. The Boston Herald (independent) says: ’The demecratic convention, as a whole, met public expectation with regard to it. They have par sued a politic coarse in all their ac tion. They have acted exactly as if they meant to omit nothing in the way of ] caution that should aid them to v lory. If the repnbli cans piofi by uieir example and add a little pi-cautionary progress they will be wise.” CHICAGO. Tbe Morning News (independent) will say: “Necessity and sentiment were parents of the democratic tick et, completed by the nomination of Allen G. Thurman for the vice-pres idency at St. Lor '-- . sterday. Events made ClevelaLu ...e nominee at its head, and as they Lave steadily ad vanced him from the mayoralty of Buffalo to his present high office. It is a singular piece of good for tune for the democracy that conples the names of its most sentimental ideal with th: f of the ‘man of desti ny’on the t \ About the politi cal wisdom A . urinating Thurman for the vice presidency opinions may differ. His age is one thing that can be urged against him, bat Thnrman‘8 mind is still strong, his heart is still right and his courage and convictions as trne and fearless as ever, His name brings to the ticket a popularity with the people throughout the Union that cone other could. For this he was nomi nated.“ NEW YORK. Tbe Herald says; “It is as good a platform as was ever adopted by a convention, clear and straightfors ward. What it declares concerning promises redeemed is true. What it promises the ticket guarantees. Now let us see what the Republicans oan agree to at Chicago. If they speak of the past they must confess to pledges broken by them. If they speak of tbe future this Democratic platform warns them to greater hon esty than they have praticed in re cent years.” The World says; “The convention accepted the issue squarely, and to clinch its action adopted separate res elutions indorsing and recommend ing the early passage of the Mills bill. The party therefore, stands committed, through its candidates its resolutions, to tariff reform, not only in the abstract, but in the coa- cretc.” The Times says: “The platform is notable and creditable in everything that it contains. It is still more nota ble and utterly discreditable for its deliberate omission of any indorse ment of the civil service reform. The platform as it stands after the addi tions made to it by the resolutions offered in the convention is dignified, temperate and candid. The assertion it contains as to what the democratic party in possession of the executive branch of the government and of the popular house of congress has accom plished are fairly sustained by the facts. Though it is not stated and no one conld expect that it would he, that in those matters the most credit of the party administration has not had the eordial support of the repre sentatives. of the party in congress.” “SMELLED LIKE A BARROOM,” A Wife Attempts to Teach Her Husband an Object Lesson. Neal’s State Gazetts* The young woman who determined to shame her husband by taking to tippling, began operations on Wed-, nesday by setting out an exceedingly vulgar, rcd'Jabeled bottle on the back parlor table ia the most osten¬ tatious way. At about the time ber husband was expected borne she took a good gulp of tbe liquor, and when she heard what she supposed to be bis footsteps on the stoop. Bhe drank another finger of it, and patting some more in ber hand, rubbed it over ber lips. Then she fled to her room to wait for him. She was intensely gratified by the conscionsness that, as she expressed it, she “smelled like a barroom.” To her surprise tbe door bell rang and she went to ihe 1 ead of the stairs and peeped over tho rail to see who had come in place of her bnsband. It was her mother, ber father, and a cousin or two from the country. The old lady spied ber and there was nothing to do bnt to come straight down and kiss and be kissed all aronnd. She was morti¬ fied, for her parents are very straight laced, pions folks, and conld not help bnt smell the gin with which she had perfumed herself so liberally. Worse, still, while she was assisting ber father to rid himself of his over coat, the rest of the party filed sol¬ emnly into the presence of the red- labeled bottle of the back room. No thing was said abont the odor of the bottle, and she was too proud to try to explain what looked so badly for her. She told her husband, howev er, and be was so impolite as to throw himself on the bed in convulsions of laughter. She was so angry that she threatened to leave him. “You can’t,” said the monster; “your folks would not receive yon. The most tbev would do wonld bo to pat yon in the inebriate asylum.” JUNIOR FIREMEN’S TOURNAMENT. Three Companies Entered and n Lively Race Expected. Tbe firemanic fever has caught tbe small boys this season, and they are rashing it lively. They have seemed small hose, which they attach to the force pumps at the intersection of Hill and Taylor streets. This oven ing there will be a contest between the three companies that have al ready been organized, which will come off about five o'clock, and to which the whole town is invited.

Winsiaow’s Soothing Syrup for children teething, is the prescription of one of the best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and has been used for forty years with never failing success by millions of mothers for their children. During the process of teething its value is incalculable. It relieves tbe child from pain, cures dys entery and diarrhoea, griping By in giving the bowels, and wind colic. health to the child and rests the mother. Price 25 cents a bottle, augeod&wly The Central American’s Weapon. These fellows are wonderfully expert with the machete, which serves every purpose from the digging of a grave to that of cutting down a tree eighteen inches in diameter. The machete differs in length and form according to the sec¬ tion of the country and the main object for which it was originally designed. In the cane growing regions of the west coast it is about thirty inches long. The edge of the blade is slightly convex, and increases in width near the end, which is rounded and flared very similar to the eastern scimitar. On the Caribbean coast it is a little longer, but the blade is riot so convex and of less width. Years ago It was tbe national weapon of the country, and in many bloody revolutions the sight of a regiment of Indians with these murderous blades sparkling in the sunlight caused more than one stampede among the soldiers.—Cor. New York Herald. Mrs. lluroettt and the Game. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, talking about “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” says: “Most of the scenes in tbe book are real; that, for instance, in which Cedric under¬ takes to teach his grandfather baseball. One day the original thought it necessary to instruct me in the great national game. After a great deal of explaining, I was obliged to admit that I was rather stupid. ‘Oh, no, you’re not, dearest, ’ protested the little boy, *you’re not at all stupid; but I’m afraid I’m not a good ’splainer, and then, as you’re a lady, of course baseball is not very easy to yon.’ ”—New York Tribune. Colon from Coal T»r. Some 150 different colors are now ob¬ tained from coal tar, and these have almost entirely supplanted vegetable and animal dyes. In fact, only two of the vegetable class—indigo and logwood— are still of any considerable importance. Coal yields a large amount of coloring matter, the magenta from a ton being sufficient to dye 500 yards of flannel; the a urine. 120; the vermilline scarlet, 2.560; and the aligarine, 233.—Ark ansa w Traveler. The Citizen* of Berlin. Tbe surface life of Berlin is not spec¬ tacularly impressive, as it is in Paris and T /mdum. The citizens are, with the ex¬ ception of the officers, the worst dressed men in Europe. They are aptly described by the word slouchy. The neckties aro dim and chosen with execrable taste, and the clothes are baggy, ill fitting and dingy. This is the more remarkable be¬ cause the officers of the German army are the leading dandies of ihe civilized world, and the crack tailors of London and Paris are nearly all Germans. In his native city the German wears big and rough boots, and garments noticeable for their clumrinees. He lounges about theatres, music and cafes, with his hands in his pockets and his head hang¬ ing forward, content to drink beer and talk —and it is when he talks that the ch&rm begins. It is astonishing to a traveler who has grown accustomed to the solemn, stupid and conventional talk of the Pngliah or the constant and unre¬ lieved suggestiveness of the French to hear a party of Berlin men in a discus¬ sion. They are the best talkers in the exhibit of absolute and varied knowledge In the world.—Blakely Hall’s Berlin Letter. ^ ___ Th* Humorist and the lun. Humor seems to accord better with our present attitude toward life than poetry does. The humorists certainly make more money than the poets. This is a course and brntal test, but it means popularity, We the approval scientific, of the spirit of the age, are and science does-not object to quips and cranks, es¬ pecially when spiritual they are directed transcendental against religious, latter, or tenets. The on the contrary, can¬ not endure being laughed at with equa¬ nimity. And, disguise it how we may, this is a sign of weakness—not necessa¬ rily in true religious, spiritual or transcen¬ dental philosophy, but in what just now for those philosophies among us. may be the expression of a contemptible as well as a con¬ temptuous feeling; but so much the more ought it to be impotent against what¬ ever is secure in its own strength and value.—Julian Hawthorne in American Magazine. ms PAPER FKT ^ SS&2& a as Bureau (10 Spni ce SU, where, ad VOUlS vert mwt wuuwu y ’ » made tor it, IK KSW WE HAVE OPENED UP AT INTO. 3 Hill St. With Fresh and New Stock of Goods.
