FOOTBALL PLAYER DROPS OUT.
George F. Sanford, of the Yale Champions,
Leaves College,
West Haven, Conn., October 25.—
George F. Sanford, center rush on the
champion Yale football eleven in 1892,
and inter-collegiate champion quarter-
mile runner in 1893, has left Yale and
entered a New York firm. He dropped
behind in his studies a triile last sum
mer. and instead of working the past
summer to make up the deficiency, he
went to England with the Yale track
athletes. Upon his return he decided
to drop out of college. His loss in foot
ball und track athletics will be keenly
felt. Sanford wrenched his knee in the
Crescent Athletic-Club, University of
Pennsylvania games,last Saturday, and
came from New York yesterday to put
himself under the care of Mike Murphy,
the Yale trainer.
CRISP IN CHATTANOOGA.
The Speaker Urges Adherence to the Prin

Chattanooga, Tenn., October 25.—
Speaker Charles F. Crisp, spoke here
last night to the largest crowd that
ever assembled within the walls of the
opera house. There was not even
standing room, and hundreds of disap
pointed citizens were turned away.
Mr. Crisps’ speech was largely a clear,
forceful and logical presentation of the
advantages accruing from the new
tariff law. He urged his democratic
hearers to vote for all candidates who
adhere rigidly to the principles and
tenets of the party. During the day
Mr. Crisp was driven about the city and
suburbs and held an hours’ informal
reception, which was attended by a
large contingent of citizens irrespect
ive of party.

New York, October 25.—Ex-Presi

this evening and will go to the Fifth

Chairman Huclcett on Friday morning
and it is altogether probable that he
will volunteer to speak wherever it is
thought his presentation of the impor
tant issues of the campaign will do the
most good. Governor McKinley will
pass through New York on Friday on
his way to Jersey City. He will not
stop in New Y’ork except perhaps for
an hour or two, but he will not speak
here.

St. Petersburg, October 25.—All
agree that the Czar is no better. His
complication of diseases is said to he
the result of the great railroad acci
dent near Meenki on October, 1888,
when the Imperial train was wrecked,
killing twenty-one persons and wound
ing thirty-six. The Czarina, it is said,
has just had hysteria, not apoplexy.
The bethrothal of the Czarowitz and
Princess Alix formally occurred yester
day. The hastening of the ceremony was
rendered necessary by the rule and
laws of the Romanoff family.
INDICTMENT OF REINHARDT.

New York, October 25.—Joseph \V.
Reinhardt, formerly president of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fc rail

about his indictment in Chicago last
Friday, for a violation of the Inter
state Commerce law, in granting re
bates on freight to Nelson Morris.
“The indictments do not amount to
anything,’’ said Mr. Reinhardt. “1
fear them no more than if I were Mika

Dr. Price’s Cream Baking powder
A Pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder,
j The Leading Features of the Business
Situation Reported by Bradstroets.
New Y’ork. October 20.—Bradstreets
| today says: With few exceptions the
] leading features of the business situa-
i tion this week have been those of con-
| tinned moderate improvement, al
though the total volume of business,
j so fur as indicated by bank clearings
I throughout the country, will require
considerable expansion to compare fa
vorably with corresponding totals two
years ago. The volume of clearings for
six business days ending with October
18, is §949,000,000, or 2.3 per cent larger
than iu tlie third week of October of
last year, but nearly 31 per cent small
er than in the corresponding week in
! S92.
This relatively favorable bank clear
ings report is offset in part by a de
cline iu prices of staples, coffee alone
scoring a slight advance. At Louis
ville tobacco is easier under promise of
a large crop. The production of iron
and of Bessemer steel continues as
heavy as heretofore, and quotations
have been further shaded. Lard is
lower in price, and the prospect for
cessation of textile labor difficulties at
the east has weakened the print cloth
market.

Memphis, Tenn.. October 25.—The lo

never before attempted in this coun

unique feature will be a contest be

in the city, the largest ever held in the

Columbia, S. C., October 25.—The
State prints today the following from
John T. Roddey, member of the New
Y’ork cotton exchange and a son of a
wealthy South Carolinian. He has for
some time been advocating some con
certed action by southern farmers :
To the thinking farmers of the south :
“For the past two years, I have made
cotton commissions my business, and
daily have I witnessed the downward
j tendency of your product. If you will
j think for a moment, you will realize
the fact that though you are the pro
j ducers of this country and should be
the most independent, yet you are the
most dependent people of America.
Why'? Because there are combina-
! tions on every article you use. The
! manufacturers of the north combine
! on everything and say what it shall
bring, while you sell your products for
i whatever they are willing to pay you.
: Why cannot you protect your cotton in
| the same way ?
Suggests the Forming of a Trust.
“I should like, if it meets your ap-
' proval, to organize a trust company
i called the Southern Farmers trust com-
: pany, for the purpose of protecting
your products from the depressing iu-
lluenees of speculators, spinners and
capitalists, and provide a means by
Atlanta, Ga.. October 25.—The rate
committee of tlie Southern Railway
and Steamship association continued
its session here yesterday and many im
portant matters were taken up. Chief
among tlie matters that have been set
tled is the question of lower rates be
tween South Atlantic points and the
gulf ports. The schedule of rates from
Charleston and Savannah to points on
the Gif if of Mexico has been lowered
in certain particulars. Perhaps the
most important of all the questions
that have come up before the commit
tee is tlie matter of equalizing the rates
on steam coal and domestic coal. The
rate on steam coal has heretofore been
about thirty-five cents lower than the
rate on domestic cool, steam coal being
the grade of coal used by the factories
and railroads and domestic coal being
that used in private residences and for
general consumer's use. A special
committee lias been appointed to take
the coal rates in hand and will probab
ly report today. If it is decided to
lower the rate on domestic coal to a
level with the rate on steam coal it will
amount to quite a consideration to tlie
consumers in all of the larger cities of
the south. If on the contrary it is de
cided to raise the rate on steam coal to
that on.domestic coal it will be a great-
loss to the factories.
Several Employes in the Pension Depart

Montgomery*, Ala., October 22.—The
time for the congressional elections is
near at hand. There is no doubt in the
world about the election of eight of the
democratic candidates in Alabama, and
if the ninth is not a democrat, it will be
his own fault, and because he has de
serted the party and its principles,
turned his back upon the people who
elected him before and “bended the
suple hinges of the knee in oz-der that
thrift may follow fawning.”
The situation in the seventh district

to tell what tlie result is going to be.

In case you receive 10 cents for your

now receiving, you save on a crop of

least twice as much as the capital stock
of the trust company. In case specu
lators should become frightened even
at the mention of the trust and advance
the price of cot ton, so much the better
for you, but very likely they would at
tempt at first to bluff you.

THE WHY OF IT.
White spots appear on the nails be
cause the vascular tissue underneath is
attached to the substance of the nail,
but from some accidental cause, such
as a blow, occasionally becomes separ
ated.
The day after a heavy snowfall is
usually very clear because the snow in
falling brings down with it most of
the dust and impurities of the air and
leaves the atmosphere exceedingly
pure.
A closed room is had for sleeping,
because air once breathed parts with a
sixth of its oxygen and contains an
equivalent amount of carbonic acid gas;
air breathed six time will not support
life.
riERCiXG the flesh with even the
finest needle hurts because the nerves
arc so thickly matted just under the
skin that not eY’en the finest point can
he introduced Yvithout wounding one or
more.
The ears of most defenseless animals
like the rabbit are turned backwards,
because these creatures are in con
stant apprehension of pursuit; hunting
animals have their ears turned for
ward.

SlOO Reward SHOO.
The readers of I his paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hail’s Catarrh
Cure is tiie only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrli being Ja consti
tutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure ps taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of tlie system, thereby de
stroying the foundation of tlie disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they offer
one hundred dollars for any case that it lails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Ad

Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
Washington, October 25.—President
Cleveland upon liis return to this city
finds much business of importance
awaiting his attention. Probably the
first important business to engage his
mind will be the rendering of a deci
sion in the Brazil-Argentine boundary
dispute determining the ownership of
the Mission territory.
The action of the Quadruple Alliance
may furnisli some food fer reflection,
although this government has declined
to become a participant in the China-
Japan war. But tiie fact that China
has determined in advance to select
Secretary of State Gresham as her ar
bitrator in tlie event of arbitration, will
of necessity make the United States
prominent in sucli a settlement of the
Oriental dispute. lie will also have the
report of the national strike commis
sion, which is now being prepared, to
consider and act upon.
The Nicaraguan Matter.
Then there is the awarding of an in
demnity to be paid by the United States
of Colombia to Italy for tlie murder of
a citizen in that country, which matter
Yvas left to tiie president to be disposed
of. The Nicaraguan matter will take
considerable careful thought, as sev
eral delicate diplomatic questions are
involved.
The question of reciprocity has, by
the wfthdrawal of the special trade fa
vors extended by Cuba and Brazil, been
brought into prominence and its settle
ment may cause much serious thought.
The selection of a successor to Am
bassador Bayard must be regarded as a
possible contingency, as it is said that
in the event of a democratic legislature
beiug elected he will be chosen to suc
ceed Higgins in the senate. A large
number of presidential postmasterships
have recently become vacant by the
expiration of commissions and must be
filled.
The Suit of the Ex-Queen.
Last, but not least, is the suit to be
brought on behalf of ex-Queen Lilliuo-
kaiani asking for a couple of million
dollars from the United States govern
ment because of the alleged part
taken in procuring her deposition by
its representatives.
The estimates of appropriations for
the next fiscal year have been com
pleted, and the president can - occupy
any of his spare time in beginning the
preparation of his annual message to
congress, which must be ready within
the coming six weeks. It is easy to ap
preciate how, on his return, the presi
dent will find awaiting his attention
enough work to put his recuperated
powers into :active play.
