Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, spoke this evening at Odd Fellows Hall in the interest of "sound money" De mocracy. The hall is not a large one, but had it been ten times as large it would not have held those who came to hear the Secretary. R a mors had been circulated that an attempt would be made to break np the meeting. There was a disorderly element present in the rear of the hall, who hissed leudly as Mr. Carlisle appeared on the stage. The majority of tbe audience, however, were in sympathy with the speaker and drowned the hisses in vociferous cheering. Tbe disturbers compelled the Secretary to stop several1 times during the early part of his speech but were finally quieted by Mayor Rhi nock. and with tbe exception of a few isolated yells for Bryan,; no further trouble occurred. A counter demonstration was held by the silverites in the street in front of the ; building but it in no way interfered with tbe meeting inside the ball. , FOREIGN NEWS.

Rochester, INd October 22. In charge of Parks Martin, chairman of the Indiana Democratic State Committee, the B; van special train left Fort Wayne at 7.80 o'clock for tbe second and last day's run through Hoosier laod. The first stop was at Decatur at 8.05. where Mr. Bryan spoke fifteen minutes to a large audience. The enthusiasm was rery marked, a At Market, a small number heard him and at Huntington he addressed a gath ering of two thousand for ten minutes. The thousand people at Laketon were mostly farmers. When Mr. Bryan S2'.d that foreigners would not direct our fi nancial policy, they cheered. ; Peru. Ind., October 22. A political barbecue was in progress at Rochester when Mr. Bryan reached that place. People had flocked in by the hundreds from tbe neighborhood round about and tbe Democratic candidate had an audi ence of between eight and ten thousand. Hon. Ben. F. Sbivley, Democratic can didate for Governor, had just concluded a speech as Mr. Bryan opened. Tbe lat ter in the course of his remarks read from tbe platform adopted by the Indi anapolis Republican Convention in 1890. Concerning it be said: "The Republican platform which I have read in your bearing commended that silver bill as a long yet prudent step toward free coinage, and yet when we tell you that free coinage is a good thing our opponents tell us we are luna tics and cranks and idiots. (Lauehter.) If you would six years ago brag about a long step toward free coinage, why don't you brag when we want to go the whole distance at once, (ureal cheering ) Terrx Hatjte, Ind, October 23. "Tbe only barbecue town on eartb, was the principat inscription on the posters announcing the Bryan meeting at Peru, and a big political barbecue was in pro gress when the Democratic candidate, escorted by a long procession, reached the grounds. A long list of free sliver orators bad been engaged for the occa sion, including Senator Teller, Senator David Turpie and ex-Congressman Laie Pence of Colorado, and these made ad dresses after Mr, Bryan had spoken and continued his journey toward Terre Haute. Between eight and ten thou sand people were in attendance and the great cheering began as Mr. and Mrs, Bryan appeared on the platform. There had been defection in the Democratic ranks at Peru and Mr. Bryan's remarks were directed mainly to those who bad decided to leave the party. To them he said in part: "When you leave the Democratic party in this campaign I want vou to leave knowing what ir 'means. Do not think that you can leave us this year, in the greatest fight that Democracy has had for a half century do not think that in the presence ot the most dan- serous enemy you can desert and then come back next year and take post tion of command. You cannot do it, my friends. (Cheers.) The man who leaves the Democratic party jn its great fight this year to restore tbe Govern ment to those old foundations laid by Jefferson and Jackson need not expect to come back until he has f ully atoned for tbe sin that be commits this t.uneja-ss' ,SifiJTOaf when pfRwjl J" sOu got tired feeding the hogs and came home, the Either ; met him with open arms and killed tbe fat ted calf for bim. Well, my friends. I want you to understand that tbe prodi gal son who leaves tbe Democratic household this year and goes eff to feed tbe hogs (laughter), when he comes back he has got to come with the under standing that he must saw wood for a long while before be gets to tbe table." (Laughter.) Gold badges were likewise few at Del" phi, where Mr. Bryan spoke briefly to between five and six thousand people. An extremely large crowd, number ing in the neighborhood of ten thou sand, was addressed briefly by Mr. Bryan at Frankfort, but it was not to be con sidered in point of size beside the tre mendous audience tbat had gathered at Lafayette. It was. in fact, three separ ate gatherings, all in the court' bouse square and Mr. Bryan made three speeches from the same platform, one from each side. At least - 25,000 in tbe aggregate of the assemblage. . At Linden Mr. Bryan spoke to a small gatherirg. . Crawford sville came next and here the nominee encountered one of the most wildly enthusiastic audiences of the day, numbering about 5,000. The speech of Mr. Bryan there was devoted in part to answering the charge made by Gen. Lew Wallace, a resident ot the town, that be was an Anarchist. Lagoda turned out abont 1 ,200 cbeerers and Rocksdale another small crowd. The assemblage at Greencastle stretched away off into tbe darkness and could not be estimated, but it was very en thusiastic. It was reserved tor Brazil, the well known mining centre, to exceed in demonstrative appreciation of the Demo cratic candidate any small city at which he spoke during the day. It was half past seven when Mr. Bryan's train reached that place. All along the streets, to the, park, f where the speaking occurred he was wildly cheered. A thousand miners were. in tbe escort procession. The near by neighborhood had contributed to the immense throng that gathered to hear him and it is estimated that nearly 25, 000 people composed tbe concourse. ' Mr. Bryan brought out no new points in his speech but everything he said was vigorously applauded. At 8.15 the Bryan special pulled out for Terre Haute, where it arrived thirty minutes later. Tbe Bryan day demonstration here concluded to-night with two speeches by the silver champion.' Silver clubs and war veterans escorted him from the railroad depot to tbe ceort house Tbe streets were crowded with people all along the route. At the court bouse Mr. Bryan addressed 20,000 people and then proceeded to the Terra Haute House, where he spoke to 8,000 more. At the second meeting Mr. L. P. Bene' diet, private secretary to Eugene Debs, presented the candidate a silver blotter in behalf of tbe progressive organized working men of Terra Haute. A letter from Senator Voorhees, expressing re gret at hit Inability to preside there and endorsing Mr. Bryan's candidacy, was read.

Oree Indignation e JaokeonTille at tne Htgh-Haoded Proeeedtcgs of Cap. ' MUler, of the TJ. S. Cioieer . Balelah. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, October 22 A tele gram from Capt. Merrill- Milier, of the cruiser Raleigh, received at the - Navy Denartment this morning, announced that he had relieved tbe Newark of fili buster patrol duty at Jacksonville, f la., and that vessel had sailed for Hampton Roads. TbeKaieign at once put to sea for a cruise down tbe Florida coast, to terminate at Key West next week. Capt. Merrill Miller does not mention the Three Friends or the Dauntless. ' Jacksonville, Fla., October 22. No official report has been received by Collector of Customs C, R. Bisbee of tbe firing on and capture of the alleged Cuban filibustering tugs Dauntless and R. L Mabey off Jupiter Inlet yesterday morning by the United States cruiser RaleiRh. . The "revenue cutter Boutwell left Jacksonville fof the St. Johns bar this morning to take charge of the Daunt less and. escort her to tbe quarantine station at Fernandina, where she will be fumigated and afterwards brought to this port and delivered to the United States authorities. The tug R. L Mabey, which was also captured, did not reach the bar last night, as the is much slower than the Dauntless and the Raleigh. The Mabey arrived, however, early to-day in charge of a orize crew from tbe Raleigh, and will be brought to Jacksonville and de livered to tbe United States authorities. The ciuiser Raleigh left for the South this morhine. It is said she is going to Turtle harbor to discover, if possible, tbe island on which it is said the Cubans have stored quantities oi arms and am munition. .Tbe firmer on and seizure of the Dauntleis and Mabey has caused indie nation here and is regarded as high handed on tbe part of CaDt. Miller, ot the Raleigh. Neither the Dauntless nor tbe Mab'ev had arms on board: Tbe Dauntless had only her regular crew and the Mabey bad a cargo of coal. The coal was possibly intended for the Dauntless, but she had a right to take fuel on board. It is not believed that the Government can do anything with either vessel, and their seizure is re garded as simply another case of cater ing to Spain on the part of the admin istration at Washington. Col. Elmio Nunez (who has managed many filibustering expedition) and thirty Cubans returned to this city from New Smyrna to-day. It was off Ne Smyrna tbat the Raleigh fired on and captured the Dauntless and Mabey. The disastrous ending of the .post poned expedition to aid the Cuban in surgents belore it bad really gotten un der way was tbe subject of discussion to-night and - threats ot vengeance against tbe traitor who bad informed the officials of the plans were heard in event! instances. The Government offi cers in this city were fully informed of every detail and even knew where tbe arms and ammunition were shipped and when tbe Cuban leaders and the men to make up the expedition left here. The Mabey 's connection with the expedi tion was known, and it was deemed time to act. Accordingly a dispatch was sent to the commander of the Newa oy an cmciai navtog tne aumoniy0 aj rect the movement oi tbe cruise According' to the information fur nisbed by tbe spy or traitorhe Daunt finaiT V"m nrr-fain carroea of and then the arms and ammuni tion. This was to have been done dur inn Tuesday night, and she should have been away from New Smyrna before daylight Wednesday morning. Why no attempt was made to detain the first cargo of coal until sunrise Wednesday morning is not known, but the delay proved to be lor tbe best,-as no arms were found on either the Mabey or Dauntless. T The Spanisn spies, who spent several days down the coast recently, have de parted, digusted. i One remarked that he never saw a place where people knew so little. The owners of tbe steamers have been advised that thev have good grounds tor bringing suit against the officers, who seized tbeir property with out warrant. Action may be brougbt against tbe commander of the cruiser Raleigh in tbe U. S. court. , - .WATSON IN ALABAMA Defends Bis Position In Befaaiog to Come Dow a la FaTOr oi SewaU. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Birmingham, October 22. A special from Gadsden. Ala., to the State-Herald says: "Tom Watson spoke here to-day to about one thousand people.- He was driven around during the day by Mayor Mitchell and tendered tbe keys, ot the city. He spoke for more than two hours in tbe open air. He defended his post tion in refusing to come down in favor of Mr. Sewall. He said that the Demo crats were responsible' for tbe sit nation here iu - Alabama and in Georgia. ; Overtures bad been made by tbe Populists and they had bsen turned down with scorn and con tempt. Mr. G. B. D jan. Populist State cbairman, had. male a proposition to Gen. Shelley to take five electors and give tbe Democrats six. but the propo sition had never been considered In any of the Democratic conferences. They said if Brvan was defeated it would be laid at bis door. He asserted tbat the Democrats themselves were responsi ble. He , was not opposed to f u sion where it would result in insur ing defeat of McKinley electors. There. fore, if the Democrats were in earnest (or Bryan and silver tbey shon'd give and take with tbe Populists, wbo were wil ling to meet them more than halt way. If Bryan was defeated tbe fault would lie with uemocratic leaders. Tbey kaew tbey could not succeed w.'Jiout votes of two million Populist and they should have been willing to divide elec tors; 'If the Democrats thought thev could pull him down tbey were badly mistaken; he would carry his party to glorious victory or honorable defeat. No man should say that be owned Tom Watson; no man could dictate to birrrj no man could control hit opinion. He was in tbe fight to stay. Mr. Watson left on tbe 1.80 train far Nashville.

Liverpool was un changed on the spot. Futures there de clined a half to two points, closing bare ly steady. ' The speculation to-day was almost lifeless, with the tendency of prices downward.' The trading, what there was of it, was in the main of a local character.' Tired longs sold out, and New Orleans and Liverpool also sent a few selling orders Liverpool was lower. Spot at the South was easy and less active. New Orleans declined, and in the absence of buyers prices here slowly receded, closing at about tbe lowest figures of tbe day. Tbe re ceipts at the ports and interior towns were heavy, but tbe worst feature of the market is the dullness of the . specula tion. Landau, of Liverpool, estimates the crop at 8 800,000 to & 400.000 bales, but this estimate had little, if any, effect oa prices here. He estimates tbe Texas crop at 2.600.000 bales, the Egyptian crop at 8.600,000 cantares. and the yield In India at 400,000 less than last year. - Blood is Life and upon the purity and vitality of the blood depends the health ot the whole system.

ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMES. Suggestions to tbe KetaMl Merchant Whleh May B of Value to Him. How to advertise successfully In dull times lor a general retail store Is a diffi cult subject to decide. It Is at the same time a subject upon which there is a great diversity of opinion. By dull t!me3 we menu the seasons ot tbe year when trade is not usually so brisk as it is at other times.. At these times lftUWrchants largely increase their ad about the same as In busy times. Busi ness discretion should, of course, be used by all, but as a rule we believe those who do the mnat advertising at these times have the best of reasons to support their side than the others. If the purpose is to draw trade, then why not advertise when you need trade the most? Of course this rule is subject to tbe surroundings and the circumstances. We realize that in dull times it is much harder to bring people to the store, but tbat Is one reason why more advertising should be used, or better advertisements should be used, for It Is not always neces sary to extend one's space where the same result may be accomplished by using tbe same space in making the advertisement attractive. If possible In dull seasons more induce ments should be bald out to the customer than in brisk seasons. More care should be used in selecting articles to be adver tised and more thought should be given to advertisements to bring trade to your store, but, however yon may view this subject, uo not in any circumstances drop your ad vertising entirely. : ! - Advertising to a large extent is cumu lative in its benefits, for the value of pres ent advertising depends largely npon what bas been done before. If you dis continue advertising entirely you are leav ing out some of the bricks in the wall Which yon are constructing and will lose a large portion of the benefits of aooumu? lative advertisements when you begin again, there having been a disconnection in what you did before and that which you now Intend to do. The benefits to be derived from advertis ing are in the future as well as what you may get at the present. Advertising Is something like making a snowball the farther you go tbe bigger it grows. If, after you have rolled your snowball a lit tle distance, you stop rolling It and begin another one, you are expending an extra labor instead of accumulating, ' while if you had kept on rolling the old ball It would soon grow to much larger propor tions than any new one you could start. It la poor policy ever to stop Advertising altogether. In dull times, as we have said, if the amount expended must be de creased more care than ever should be used in the operation of the advertisements. When the fish ia harder to catch, be more careful In selecting your bait. The way to advertise is an Important point to consider. - In dull times make your offerings Just as attractive as you know how and advertise seasonable goods such as will be of immediate usajv It ia hard enough to sell unseasonable goods when people buy freely, but it is much, harder to push them in unfavorable times. BryeoodViChronicle, I . '7 aerwuwllna; Prieea For Singers. The gradual rise in the payments made to singers has more than kept pace with the prices paid to oomposera. A look through the treasurer's accounts of the old Sacred Harmonic society would confirm 'this statement in a very certain and inter esting way. For example, at the Christ mas performance of "The Messiah" In De cember, 1853, Miss Blroh was paid 8 guin eas; Mme. rJaintob-Dolby, 8 guineas; Mr. and Mrs. Lockey together, 10 guineas, and Mr. Weiss, tbe oom poser of "The Village Blaoksuiith, " S guineas. At the perform ance of "Israel In Egypt" In tbe same year Mr. Sims Beeves took 15 guineas; Carl Formes, 10 guineas, and Mme. Saln-ton-Dolby, 8 guineas. Nine years after ward, in December, 1863, for singing "The Messiah," Mme. Budersdorff was paid 10 guineas; Mr, Henry Haigh, 8' guineas, while Mme. Sainton-Dolby rs termf had risen to 10 guineas. ; . It need hardly be said that concert vocal ists now in full demand would laugh at suoh fees. Some years ago, whan Mr. Toolq was returning' thanks to an audienoe Iu the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, be referred to the circumstance that he and Sims Beeves and Henry Irving had all a an early stage of their careers sought profes sional honors in the Scottish capital. The salaries of the three friends, aooordlng to Mr. Toole, were then: The singer, 80s.; the oomedian, 40s. ; the 'tragedian, 60s. each per week- "Of course," added Mr. Toole, "we get more now."
