ranges. The Emperor bad ordered
that the. bugler sound the signal
to cease firing in order lhat be might
inspect the target. The officer in
command of the battery, located a
thousand yards away, did not hear
the signal and as it was impossible
for him to see the Emperor as be ad
vahoed, owing to a depression in the
ground, the battery sgain fired.
Fortunately the Emperor and his
suite were out of the line of fire and
consequently were not hurt. Orderlies
rushed to the battery and prevented
any further firing.

nificant and raises expectations no
heretofore indulged "Chicago, Sept.
25. The Democratic State Commit
tee is elated over three recent acces
sions to the Democratic ranks in Illi
nois that will be of great importance
in the coming election. A joint meet
ing of the Grievance Committee of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
flngineers and Firemen, the
witohnien and Brakemen, ' has
adopted a resolution to support
General Palmer, the i Demo
cratic candidate for Governor,
and lhas requested the co-operation
of all the subordinate lodges of each
order in the state. There are about
twenty-two thousand brotherhood
men in the State who will vote almost
unanimously for Palmer. The em
ployees of the Union Steel Works,
the largest institution of the kind in
Chicago, met Sunday and also voted
to support Palmer. Last night the
United Labor Party met in its head
quarters and unanimously passed a
resolution pledging the party to vote
for Palmer. The United Labor men
have about six thousand vot9s in Cook
county alone. '

A Ohieago special of the 28th says:
The inevitable calm after the storm
yesterday prevailed in the wheat pit
this morning. Up stairs in the visit
ora gallery men and women had
packed themselves like sardines in
anticipation of a renewal of j yester
day's excitement. Down stairs " Old
Hutch, with the collar of his over
Coat buttoned arOund his ears, sat in
an arm-chair and smiled grimly on
the army of brokers that surrounded
him and wanted Ho know when he was
!;oing to let Up. " I have no wheat
or sale," he said, " and I don't know
What the price is or will be. 1 1 may
have some on tap between 12 and 1
O'clock." That was all the satis
faction the shorts coVld get.
Cash wheat opened at 1.25, last
night's closing price; then went in
lamps to 1.30, 1.40, 1 41, 145, and,
finally, at 1.20 to 1.50. The trades
however, were small. Five thousand
bushels of September were sold at
1.50 by Lendbloom to one of Hutch
inson's brokers, Lendbloom having
paid a dollar for it less than a week
ago.
After this sale the price receded to
149 A broker, close in the con
fidence of "Hutch," said the present
price of September wheat was not a
circumstance to what May and De
cember would be before lontr. It
is the general impression that Hutch
inson will keep the market at $1 50
in order to compel settlement sit
those figures. People behind the
scenes estimate his profit on the cor
her at a million and a half dollars.

It iB authoritively announced this
morning that the R. & D. R. R. com
pany will, at an early day, put a
through passenger train on the line
to run direct from Washington city
to Asheville It will be a special
train made up of parlor cars and
sleepers. In view of the yellow fe
ver epidemic and panic continuing
well on into the winter season, large
numbers of Northern people who
heretofore have sought Florida in
the cold months will come to Ashe
ville; and it is to accommodate this
anticipated travel that the new line is
to be established.
It is publicly announced here that
the Richmond & Danville Terminal
Company have concluded a lease of
the ast Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad and will merge the
lines of that corporation in the Rich

of such a change, it is thougbt, will
be highly beneficial to Asheville, giv
ing us freer and easier connections
westward and southwestward.
The Third Party men here are much
in earnest, and Fisk and W .lker will
receive some vo'es in Buncombe. An
timate would be mere guess-work
now. Politicians who profess to
know usually speak of their strength
as frgom fifty to one hundred votes,
two-thirds of which number would
probably be Democrats.

are held under control by a central
Law of Progress, to which they them
selves are made tributary. The
whole cosmic system seems to gravi
tate toward a coming kingdom fore
told in the Word of God. As it
it is written: 'Behold I create a
new heaven and a new earth.' It is
conceded by Herbert Spencer that
Evolution has an impassable limit.'
He speaks of the visible, tangible
universe. But, as a believer in the
Christian religion, I declare my joy
ous belief that the same Finger of
God, that has run a central line of
orderly progression through all the
changes and oscillations of the pres
ent system of things, points to high
er and grander developments await
ing us in another and a future world.
Of that world we have now bright
foregleams; and hope in a few more
years to see the full unfolding of its
ripened splendors. Meanwhile we
would recognise, both on philosophical
and religious grounds, the practical
lesaon that everywhere, whether in
the Bhop, the school or the sanc
tuary, man advances, not always with
even steps and equal speed, but ac
cording to his reception of truth, his
sincerity of motives, his convictions
of right and duty, his lore for his fellow-man
and his humble trust in the
tri une God who stands revealed as
our Father,Redeemer and Sanctifier."
The second paper iB by George
Wm. Knox, Professor in the Union
Theological Seminary, Tokio, Japan,
on rhilosephy in Japan, Past and
Present. After a lucid account of the
creeds of Japan, under the heads
of, 1st, Shin-to, the way of the Gods;
2J, Buddhism; 3rd, Chinese Ration
alism; 4th, New Japan; 5th, The
Father.,' Prof. Knox comes to the
conclusion that "Japan's experiment
will be successful only as the people
are christianized. Shin-to is dead.
Buddhism is decrepit and stricken
with mortal disease. Rationalism has
exhausted its influence. Western
agnosticism has nothing to offer be
yond the message- of the Chinese
classics, save as it echoes the Sermon
on the MoanL Christianity only has
living power.
The article by ex-Fresident of Har
vard University Dr. Thos. Hill, on
"Creation is Revelation, is an
able answer to those who deny that
God has revealed Himself. The
"Views and1 Reviews" are faithful
criticisms of the subjects discussed,
yiz: "Dr. McCosh on Schools of Phil
osophy", "An Unbelievable Unbe-
lief", "Science Testifies for the Bible",
"Evolution and Development."
All, especially clergymen, who wish
to keep op with the latest discussions
of Christian Philosophy, should read

The Democratic campaign club of
this town is how in a flourishing con
dition. -The membership has increas
ed rapidly and the weekly meetings
are largely attended. At its last meet
ing, Thursday night, 20th inst, Mr.
Walter K. Henry, of Henderson, made
an excellent address before the club.
It was one of the finest efforts of the
campaign in this county and was re
ceived by the large audience with
universal approval and tumultuous
applause. I am glad to be able to
state that Mr. Henry has consented
to make several speeches in the First
district before the election. The sec
tions where he will speak are to be
sincerely congratulated
Democratic prospects in this coun
ty have recently undergone a marked
improvement and success is now al
most assured! There are no indepen
dents, and the party is under fair or
ganization. Tuo people of this seotion
are anxious to welcome Fowle and
Davidson, Strudwick and Eitchin, and
Waddell and Sanderlin.
Jade Pawl a at Oxford and Umere)a.
Judge Fowle's speeches at Oxford
and Henderson are pronounced by
competent judges to have been as fine
efforts as have ever been heard in
those towns. Logical, eloquent and
convincing they have done conspicu
ously good work for Democracy. At
Henderson, after the speaking was
over a prominent Republican ad
vanced and took the Judge's hand
and said he was convinced of the
error of Radicalism and that he pro
posed to forsake it forever and to in
duce all he could to do so. His word
was not without weight either. He is
known to control quite a number of
votes. So the good work goes On
and so Judge Fowle makes converts
to the Democratic faith wherever he
goes.
The President is at home ' again
after a short visit to the model farm
of Editor Singerly of the Philadel

Brotherly love. He enjoys looking
at fine stock and improved methods
of farming aa much as anybody. He
is a first class farmer himself, indeed,
in that he knows what is best for the
farmer, as all his State papers and
his official action show.

Bulletin No. 58 of the North Caro
lina Experiment Station, : Dr. H. B.
Battle, director, is rea ly for mailing.
It contains tbe details of the plan
of the field experiments now in oper
ation in the various counties. A dia
gram shows the size of plots experi
mented on, the amount of fertilising
ingredients added to each plot, the
cost of each application and the weight
of phosphoric acid, ammonia and pot
ash applied to each plot. The results
of these experiments are looked for
with much interest.
The meterologioal summary for the
State is given for the month by Mr.
H. McP. Baldwin, meterologist, as
well as a tabulated 'statement of the
data furnished by various cooperating
observers. Mr. R. G. Grissom, as
sistant chemist, describes the value
and need of water analyses, details of
tne compounds generally
given in a
portable water analysis, arid appends
J . a . . .1
interesting results 01 waters analyzed
at the Station in the past few months.
All those interested in the Station's
progress will be glad to learn that, in
addition to the contemplated investi
gation already announced, botani
cal work will be commenced, em
bracing work by an experienced spe
cialist on the identification of grasses
and weeds to ascertain their value;
also publication in the Station's Bul
letins of description and value of each
of the grasses and clovers, and adapt
ability to our climate. It has been
determined also in this connection
to institute an examination of seed on
sale in the State. There is room for
as much fraud here aa there ia in the
ease of fertilizers, and if the seed are
of little value, then all of the farmer's
labor and amount expended are thrown
away. The value of this work, there
fore, is readily seen. Similar investi
gation are contemplated as to the va
rious insects injurious to vegetation
and their ravages. Field and orchard
crops suffer by this cause in the State
to the extent of many thousand dol
lars annually. The Experiment Sta
tion, even if it decreases the loss but
Slightly, will do well.

All the dry goods people have been
saying for a year or mora that silks
were coming back for street and gen

the season began, felt, that silks
wonldjbein demand and placed import
orders with the manufacturers in

sirable fabrics in the approved shades
