Ms. Bbtan has started talking again We would call attention to what bis talk ing has done in the past, not only from bis standpoint but from that of the voter. Dreyfus again agitates France by a demand for new trial. France should accord this. Nearly all the chief con apiiatora against Dreyfus are dead orex-iled. Although the new century dawns darkly for the British in South Africa the more hopeful of them expect that the war will be over before the century closes. l Kl ROrK-g .INDl ST1U.IL 1KIHI. The state department at Washington it advised by its consuls at some of the European trade centers that an industrial and financial crisis is impending there if indeed it has not actually begun From Germany comes the assertion that "the wave of industrial prosperity in Europe, which bas steadily risen since 1303, has taken a turn and begun to re cede"; that all signs point to a crisis in industrial lines before two veara have passed, and that any political disturb' ance might bring on the inevitable crash with extreme suddenness. In verities tion of these discouraging predictions it is pointed out that bouse rents and in dustrial storks have begun to decline that factories are closing and that the shipping interests and war-material in dustries are making the most of the South African and Chinese disturbances. German students of economics aoalvie the situation at being the result of over production. In France there hs been a collapse in the wool market thM bas carried down extensive business concerns. In Eng land ship-owner are discouraged and find great difficulty in making even a meager profjt. In Scotland tbe.weaving trades are demoralised. Generally the shoe manufactures are being interfered with by the invasion of American goodY The outlook in all lines apparently is for worse instead of better times. To a considerable extent the disquiet ing conditions in Europe may be ascribed to the disturbing effects of American competition. Naturally the displace ment of European by American manu factures must hare a distinct effect in the industrial economies of European countries. Roughly speaking, for each American workman put to work on goods for the foreign market a European workman or two must be laid off. Nor can thit condition be offset by European manufacturers cutting down wages and reducing prices of their manufactures, because to a great extent there is, in many lines, a decided preference for American articles, which also undersell the products of otbenjnatlons. There is no good reason for supposing that condi ' THE OLD OAK TREt. Th ntflnl (Mrvc ol aarth la m U I ha kiulh Klthl la Hit old l tr.

'Now that it has been discovered that alt causes heart action, no doubt the scientists will discover that many cases of heart failure may be directly traced to the salt trust. . Alubk is out with a letter defending Eagan and after Miles. Alger and Engan have what the American people "believe they deserve unless they are the worst slandered men on earth. The populists have decided not to fuse with any other party. If they had taken this stand some years ago and stuck to at they would have been more of a parky today, but the democrats took them in. Cleveland believes that the presides tial term should be lengthened, as, at present constituted, the chief executive, tor the first half of his term, is not ac quainted with the needs of government and he is burdened with all sorts of un fortunates, while the latter part of his .term he has to contend with the iin (pending election that is to follow. These are reasons that will commend themselves to thinking people and have merit that will, in time, bring eome change. Tug snpreme court bas held in a recent stcision that the doctrine of estates by tions will change. On the other hand, the prospect is that the displacement of European manufactures by American goods will increase rather than diminish. The ultimate effect of the present trade tendencies is likely to be that theJUnited Statea will become more than ever be fore, the center of the world's industrial activity and development. Chicago Recoid. Nineteen Hundred and Oue. The wheels go roJnd and the scheme of things works smoothly still. By inde fatagible and persevering effort, the ven erable gentleman with the Inuersoll hourglass and the fythe, has managed to score snother hundred years on bit tally. sheet. Pretty good, all-round years they were, too; well filled with credible achievements, and laudable deeds. Man, who (or which) is about the most important factor in that part of the uni verse which we call the world, has not been idle during these last hundred years, lie and bis sons and grand sonshave been really industrious. They have accomplished many things. which appeared as impossibilities to those who held office before their time. But the end is not yet. 8 ience and invention are young giants. They have not yet attained their growth and matur ity. As they go down the aisles ot the coming years in their mighty car of prog- ess, they will leave in their wake such stupenduous mar of their advancement as will be the wonder of the worlds. The twentieth century comes to us fraught with magnificient promises and possibilities. Thoee of us who live to see the dawn of anotlier century probably there won't be many of us, as the good die young will have seen more things on earth than were ever dreamed of in the philosophies of a thousand Horatios. The Mother's Fuvorlte. Chamberlain's cough remedy is the mother's favorite. It is pleasant and safe for children to take and always cares. It is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, and is the best medicine made for these diseases. There is not the least danger in giving it to children, for it contains no opium or other injurious drug, and may be given as confidently to a babe as to an adult. For sale by G. A.

I I had boon knocked down by a cab on the strevts of Paris and taken to a hospltuL I was hurt atxxit the head and shoulders, and, though I hnd no broken Ik lies to mend, I was so badly brulseO that the surgeon told me I wouldn't get out for a mouth. Hunt up though I was In a tlniinclnl -nse, 1 had Muuigb money In my pocket to get me Into a pny word, ami they gave mo one of the 14 cots on the third tWr front. It wn summer, and I wan rloe to the seventh window, counting frtu the left The routine of a hospital for an lu lured man Is a monotonous one. After the tlrst three or four days they put uie on full diet and gave me books to read, but I could not leave my bed, and It was agnlus' the rules to converse with the other patients. It was read. slcop, think and plan, with one visit a day from the surgeon. I could not ae the atrvet from my window aa I sat propped up on my cot. The only alght to gnvt my vla'on was a quaint old house opposite. The structure was two stories bkh. nd I could w the upper halves of four windows. The bouse looked to bsve bevn built 100 years ago and wt In ssd state of neglect and untenanted. I don't know why I should have been Interested In that house except that a sick man will turn to the veriest tritte to nuke a di version. I aw by the state of the win dows that the bous was tenantlesa. and yet I had the cnrloaity to question the nurse about 't That bouse bas been emoty for many years." she replied, "and a It U In law It will probably fall down be fore the heirs come Into possession. You rnnot that far down, but the lower d'rs nd windows are boarded up to keep tramps out I have often wondennl If the place has not a ghont." I fell Into the habit of watching lb four windows ns closely as If I had been employed a a watchman. It seemed that If I waited long enoucb I sbouh' se a face at one of them. When evening came, there was an electric Ipht somewhere which struck th front of 'he old house, and I would wah those windows until the nurse en'olned me to turn away and go to sleep. It go so at last that l felt certain of mak ing discovery, sml one evening, when t bad been In the hospital nine or to dpys, the face I had looked for apiear ed at oaj f t')e middle windows. It wet that of a innn. The window was 150 feet from m. but 'y the Ruslstsnce of the elect'lr light I made out the face very clearly. It came l"to view gradually, as If the man slowly advanced across the room, and I' remained at the psneless snth for a full minute. It was the face of an evil man. It was dark and bearded, snd the eyes travel up and down and across the street as If looking for dan ger. Whoever the man was be waa no tramn. nor had be a lawful right 'h that bouse. As he left the window I cilled to the nurse and told her of bis presence, but she laughed and replied: "h. but we are net to concern our selves about what goes on ovr there, 'f It Is some prowler who bn broken In, the police must take care of blm." I now bed something to occupy my full attention, ami gave up every thing to wnt"h the windows opjHjsltP. Nothing appeared next day. but a altouf half psxt. 8 o'elock In he e-eu-Ine I saw the si me face again. There wis more hoMm-HS In the way the man nporoiched 1 1 window, and he seam ed to feel Itiisolf more si-cure as be surveyed the street If he were not a fugitive p biding, why should lie I. taking noeps nt the neighborhood vagabond, having entered to obtain shelter for the right, would kep ch ar of the windows. On this second night the man seemed to be looking liuently st the sidewalk running In front of the hospital, and by niid by he startwl nod tprned away as If be had received some signal. When the nurse came. I 'okj ner or m incident, fibe was as much amused as before. "You certainly bsve a mind for my a, torles," she laughed, "but If you be come too Interested you will develop a fever and have a pullbnck. When you sre able to leave us. you ran tell tin police about the man. who will prohu bly turn out to be a shadow." 1 gave the windows but little atten tion lu the daytime after that. Th" fuoe appeared on the third evening at the same hotfr, and I fel' so sure that n confederate made signals from th sidewalk that I tool- a convalescent In to my confidence. II was an old sol dier who was being treated for rn old wounn and was allowed the run of the place. I told him of the face and the confederate, and he was Interested at once. Jt was arranged that he should be In front of the hospital at half past 8 and watch for the confederate, and luck attended hlin. He saw a well dressed but evP looking man make signals to the man nt the window. The signals were made with a folded news paper and would not have been noticed by any one not on the watch for them. "Now, then," u!d the old aoldlcr as he returned and' reported, "we bavo a mystery on hand. Lin k has thrown It lu our way that we nuiy make a few goldpleeea. Let Us work It out togeth er iiiol almiv the iv w aid." None of ii In liie ward hnd seen n newspaper for u we k. They eiv iiot InleidMcd. but none of the patients seemed to eaiv for miNM' liewa. Next looming the aoldl r went out and pur chased the Journals for (he previous Ihe or six day, and iin we looked them ever we struck a sensation.

IiikI Ihh'U kbiniipi'U snu spinie.i aw ay. nnd It Mil staled that the whole polbi force of Paris wwa on the jul vv The kidnaping had taken place thrv days before I saw the face at the window, and I was arguing that our mystery could have nothing to do with It when the soldier an Id: "It Is at hsst i miles from here where the lad vn pleked up. He waa probably hidden somen lu re else for a due or two, but the scent got an hoi that he was moved. !ou't ynu fear th.it he la not In the old hoiiae npX'lto at this very moment." "Then we should Inform the ollee." "Pooh! We must wait for a reward to le announced. Never slap luck In th fsce." On (be fourth night and fifth iiIkIiI the face appeared at the win. low al the usual hour, mid the same man made the usual signal. As the poll were yet at f h ' t . those algiials must have meant that think' were all rlk'ht for the kldiiiMH-r.
