An English solicitor, who is con nected -with some of the moneyed syn dicates which are creating so much talk in the newspapers at the present time, explains the reason why so much foreign capital is seeking investment in the United States just at present. "In the first place," he says, "this syndicate is not operating with En glish capital altogether. Money from all sections of the continent pours in to London for the purpose of being invested in American enterprises." "What is the reason for it?" "Well, the truth is there is a wide spread impression throughout the money centers of Europe that the whole continent is drifting in the di rection of war. This idea is growing rapidly, and is causing the withdrawal of money from enterprises through out Europe. It explains the reason for the great, industrial depression which has prevailed for some time, and which seems to be on the increase rather than upon the wane. Capital its are looking for something which will be safer than European stocks when this time shall come, and they are sending their money to this side of the Atlantic in order to be pre pared when the crash comes. This explains talk often heard now of Eng lish syndicates investing in all sorts of American enterprises." Gold quartz lodes are so abundant in Alaska that it is not a question where to find them, but as to which will pay best to open and work. The Treadwell mine on Douglass Island has the largest gold quartz crushing mill in the world, running 240 stamps day and night The mill, it is esti mated, will send $2,000,000 worth of pnre gold to the mint at San Fran cisco during the present year, and it has been successfully worked at about this rate for nearly three years. It is owned by less than a dozen very rich men of San Francisco and elsewhere, and consists of a mountain of gold bearing quartz which could not be exhausted at the present consumption of the mill in a hundred years. There is no shafting or timbering required; every shovelful of the rocky hill is passed through the mill as it is blasted from the mountain side. This is but one of the mines; dozens are being opened at different points. The marvel is, as to what can be done with so much of the precious metal. Such cities as "Washington, Balti more, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and smal ler towns near by, have suffered ter ril ly from rainstorms this year. They have been flooded time and again. No longer ago than the 19th of July a heavy rain-fall did great damage in all the towns of southern Ohio. In Cincinnati many streets were flooded because the sewers were too small to carry off the water as fast as it fell. In many basements Chinese laundry- men were found perched on their tables the morning after the storm, and water had to be pumped out of many cellars, where great damage was done. If the Mills bill had been enacted the British capitalists would not be coming to this country just now to make investments. They could have employed their money at home in that event in making the goods for this country which our own factories have been supplying, and which they al ways will supply while we give them a fair amount of protection. The air is full of gigantic schemes of railway consolidation. They are the recoil from the blow inflicted by the inter-state law upon commerce and free organization of transports tion industries. The inter-state law really pointed the way to a general consolidation of railway interests as plainly as anything could do. The interstate commerce act has given the Canadian Pacific a decided advantage over American railroads in the transportation of Pacific coast freight. It may be good policy to build up a Canadian "monopoly" for the purpose of killing United States monopolies, but there are some people who yet question it , Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, a large and densely populated thoroughfare, has not been cleaned for five years Four inches of refuse cover the pave ments in many places, and in some sections the street has been allowed to run to grass. The gutters are clogged with refuse and the sewers are use less. We do not notice that the free trade papers give us any explanation of the curious phenomenon exhibited in the fact that hundreds of millions of dol lars of English capital are flowing in to this country, to be invested under the blighting influence of a protective tarifil Acjcokbing to the New Orleans TiMes-Democrat the negro has proved to be a total failure. Our es teemed contemporary seems to forget how useful the colored brethren are for counting purposes when a con gressional apportiontment is made. A writer on the New York Trib une, describing the departure of the Umbria, thus epitomizes the advance in things maritime in four centuries: "Columbus' little fleet might almost have swung from the davits." Warm weather often causes extreme tired leeling and debility, and in the weakened condition of the system, dis eases arising from impure blood are li able to appear. To gain strength, to overcome disease, and to purify, vital ize, and enrich the Jijood, take Hood's Sarsaparilla. WHAT A WOMAS CA.X DO. Some unknown philosopher thus essays to tell up what a woman can do which a man need not essay or at tempt, viz: She can come to a conclusion with out the slightest trouble of reasoning on it, and no sane man can do that. bix or them can talk at once and get along first rate, and no two men can do that She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress while he is getting one under his thumb nail. She is cool as a cucumber in half a dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a man will sweat and fume and growl in one loose shirt. She can talk as sweet as peaches and cream to the woman she hates, while two men would be punching each other's head before they had ex changed ten words. She can throw a stone with a curve that would be a fortune to a base ball pitcher. She can say "No," in such a low voice that it means "Yes." She can sharpen a lead pencil if you give her plenty of time and plenty of pencils. She can dance- all night in a pair of shoes two sizes too small for her, and enjoy every minute of the time. She can appreciate a kiss from her husband seventy-five years after the marriage ceremony is performed. She can go to church and afterwards tell you what every woman in the congregation had on, and in some rare instances can give you some faint idea of what the text was. She can walk half the night with a colicky baby in her arms without once expressing the desire of murder ing the infant She can but what's the use? A woman can do anything or everything, and do it well. She can do more in a minute than a man .can do in an hour, and do it better. She can drive a man crazy in twenty-four hours, and then bring him to a paradise in two seconds by simply tickling him under the chin, and there does not live that mortal son of Adam's misery who can do it. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thinghas caused such a general revival of trade at J. W. Conn's Drug Store as his giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat and lung diseases qnickly cured. You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large,size Si. Every bottle warranted. A farmer, whose luok in Nebraska Disappointed him, went to Alaska, where ho wooed, it was said, A lass anxious to wed, Bat be hadn't the courage to ask her. Epoch. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the indi vidual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec tric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health to tlie use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of the Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surelv find re lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50jc and fci per bottle at j, w.
