Lewis. j The grand promoter sat at his desk In his office with a wandering look on his face and 40 ceats in change spread out before Lim. He had boon counting that change over nnd over and figuring how many times the $23 he owed his landlady, the $12 he owed bis tailor, the $4 he owed his hatter and the $75 he owed various other people would go Into that 40 cents. He was still about it when ho heard a step on the stairs. It was tho step of an aggressive man. As It cams nearer It betokened the step of a determined man. As the door was burst open without preliminary warn ing the major recognized the fact that he was face to face with a circum stance. For one brief second bis knees weakened, and he caught his breath with' a gasp. Then he was on his feet with hand outstretched and a smile on bis face and saymg: "Bless my soul, but if you had been two minutes later I should have been on my way to your office! Come in; come In." "I didn't know as you would remem ber me," dryly replied the visitor as he looked around the office. "What ! Not remember Thompson of Thompson & Thompson, attorneys at law! You must be joking.. My dear ' "I WANT TO TAKE TOTT IS." man, Major Crofoot never forgets the face or name of a friend. You more than any other man in the world have been in my thoughts for the last three days, and, as I remarked, I was about to start for your office. Thompson, shake hands -again." "I haven't time," replied Thompson. Look here, major, bills against yotf to the amount of $200 have been put into our hands for collection. You promised to pay that old board bill two months ago. I want to know what you are go ing to do?" "Do,- my dear Thompson? Why, I'm going td give you a check, In about ten seconds for the whole Indebtedness. You could have had your money long ago If you had givtn me the slightest hint. Major Crofoot has a good mem ory, but how can you expect him to keep track of shillings when he is dealing In thousands of dollars." "I heard you were promoting a lit tle," said the lawyer as he waited for the check. "Ten companies formed In the last three months, "my boy. and the eleventh just ready to be incorporated. Grand aggregation of over $300,000,000 capital' thus far, and every company bound to pay at least 30 per cent divi dend. What do you' suppose I've got on hand now?'1; "I can't say, and as I'm In a hurry you may fill out that check." "The biggest scheme of all the ne plus ultra!" whispered the major with a flourish of his right ana. "I expect ed to stop at ten, bat this scheme came pushing along and I bad to take It up. It's the richest of them all. It'll pay 100 per cent profit from the very start. In a week from now the Standard Oil company won't be on earth." "But I'm here about those bills." "My dear Thompson, walk with me. When I was hard up, you were one of the few who did not lose confidence In my integrity. The man or woman who trusts Major Crofoot never regrets It I might not have picked up this elev enth scheme but for you. I wanted to let you in. I wanted to reward you for your faith in me. Thompson, my boy, sell out your law business give It away get rid of it before night." "I want to know about those bills," said the lawyer aa he came, to a halt "The last and best -scheme of all," continued the major as he got bold of his arm again, "Is the Musical Wash board company, organized on a capital of $20,000,000. The idea is strictly orig inal with me. Washboard runs a music box while you rub. Music box can be placed in the laundry, parlor, kitchen or even the next house. May arrange later on to have 'em connected with drug stores, kindergartens and public schools. Twenty-four tunes In the box, .evenly divided between sad and lively. As the washerwoman rubs away at one of your colored shirts the music box strikes up 'Comin Thro' the Rye.' She changes off to a sheet or pillow slip, apd you have 'Home, Sweet Home with variations." Thompson, shake hands!" "I won't do it I came here to notify' you that these bills must be paid at once or you will be haled Into court" "It's a hummer, my boy it's a suc cess from the start. Costs nothing ex tra for the music, you know. " While you are hiring a woman In the laundry for a dollar and a quarter a day she'i furnishing music for the parlor frefl gratis.

Let the woman tackle a table cloth, and everybody goes dancing to the fane of 'Maggie Murphy's Home.' Drug stores can have it at a sllghl cost for their patrons, and public schools needn't pay a cent Rub-a-dub- aub! Music by the box! Thompson, don't miss . It Don't throw a good thing over your shoulder. I want to ra-Ke you in. I have taken you in. . You are to be secretary of the M. W. C at f 20,000 a year." "That's all wind," bluntly exclaimed the lawyer, "and it won't work. Will you draw me a check for $200?" "Isn't it a wonder that somebody else didn't strike on :the Idea?" whispered the major as he patted Thompson on the shoulder. "The washboard has been known for 200 years. What was easier than to make friction run a mu sic box to soothe the sorrowful, lull the ailing or enthuse the discouraged? It would have saved thousands of lives annually, prevented thousands of sui cides, and yet no one thought of It Thompson, shake hands! It's the sec retaryship at $20,000 a year for you. and I'll get you $60,000 Worth of stock at ground floor figures. - Months ago, when I was hard up and couldn't pay a bill of $7, you put your hand on my shoulder in a brotherly way and said youjbad every confidence in my finan cial Integrity. JTtn vrni imtttrtnc T'to fm, pwdt9Mtjhsi grave of my ;,.a..fiher! I never think of It without tho tears coming to my eyes." "Do you want to be sued for these accounts?" demanded the lawyer when he could get In a word. "And your reward for trusting me is this," continued the major "the salary of $20,00CrIs only a starter. I'll double it after the washboards get into the market. The $50,000 in stock will pay you $23,000 a year in, dividends at the Very least and perhaps double that, and there you are. You can safely put your first year's income down at $65, 000. Is that enough, Thompson? If not, Just say , the word, and I'll add $20,000 to It. Meanwhile" "Meanwhile I want no more of your J wind!" "Meanwhile, my dear secretary of the M. W. C., I owe-$200. You have the accounts to collect. -Tust mark rein collected,' and I'll pay 'a the $200 to hold your stock. Always have to have n deposit as . evidence of good faith, you know. If It was anybody else, I'd demand a? certified check for $10,000. Thompson, go home and throw your lawbooks out of the window." "I'll be hanged if I do! I want to know" "Throw your lawbooks but of the window, dissolve the partnership, and then take your position as secretary. No hurry for a day or two, but don't wait too long. I want to get the arti cles of incorporation through as soon as possible and patent the idea. Good by, Thompson, goodby." "But I want that check!" protested the lawyer as he was pushed out "And the. washerwoman rubs and the box plays on," replied the smiling major. "We'll have 50,000 washboards playing 'Yankee Doodle' and 'Home of My Soul' before the month is out, and if you want $15,000 in advance on your salary and profits send your boy around and I'll fill out a check.

Deadlock Continues No Sign of a Re sumption of Work Monday in the Anthracite Region. By Telegraph to the Mornlnz Btar. Hazklton, Pa., October 20. Presi dent Mitchell of the United Mine Workers practically admitted to a representative of the Associated Press to day that if every operator in the region were to post notices similar to those that are now being tacked up by some of the mine owners, this action would in itself probably not end the strike. He was asked if all the companies were to post such notices what bis next step' would be. At first he hesitated and then replied: "Under the conditions laid down by the Scran- ton miners' convention there could be no partial resumption of work." When it was suggested that his reply did not answer the Question- he said: !"Well, all I will say is, that if all the companies post notices it would clear up matters considerably. It would remove some of the obstacles that now present themselves." Several coal companies to da 7 posted the explanatory notice agreed upon by the Scranton conference. There are no signs anywhere in the anthracite region of a resumption of work Monday. CHRISTIANS MURDERED. Wholesale Executions in Hankow of Anti Dynastic Plotter?. By Cable to the Morning star.

Buffalo, N. Y., October 20. Mr. Bryan concluded his four day cam paign tour of the State of New York with two large meetings in this city to night. One of these meetings was held at the Broadway Market and was an open air gathering, andr the other at Convention Hall Before reaching Buffalo he had made fifteen addresses during the day, beginning with a thirty minute 8peechatElmiraat 9 o'clock in the morning. The other places at which he spoke were, as follows: Corning, Bath, Cohooton, Wayland, Livonia, Avon, Spencer Port, Brock-, port. Holly, Albion. Medina, Middle port, Lockport and Niagara Palls. The attendance at most of the day meetings was good and at some of them quitb large. The audiences could not be said to be enthusiastic as a rule, but everywhere the Democratic presidential candidate, was accorded most careful attention and respectful treatment During his State tour Mr. Bryan-has made about sixty-five different speeches and has quite thoroughly traversed the central belt of the State from east to west. He left this city to night at 12 o'clock for Huntington, W. Va., where he will begin a one- day trip across West Virginia next Monday morning. At Buffalo. The reception here was all That Mr. Bryan could have desired. A dense crowd of people filled the streets and there was elaborate display of fireworks from start to finish. In the open air meeting at Broadway market, the speaker's stand was surrounded with densely packed people, extending probably 200 to 800 feet in every direc tion, nr. iJryan was in excellent voice, and the people were attentive, so that almost all of them heard all that he had to say. In this speech the national ndidate gave especial attention to tne citizens of foreign birth, saying that to change our form of govern ment as we were manifesting a disposition to do in our deal ings with the Filipinos, would be a gross fraud upon those who bad come to the United States. He referred espe cially to the fact that there are a num. ber of Poles in Buffalo and said that the sad history of Poland should be sufficient example of the effect of sub jugation of an alien race. The speech was warmly applauded, and at its conclusion Mr. Bryan was driven hurriedly to Convention hall. Hundreds had been turned away from Convention Hall before Mr. Bryan arrived. When he entered the great audience arose and with waving flags and roaring cheers made a dem onstration that only the most strenu ous efforts of the candidate could quiet. Standing dramatically, with extended arm, he hushed the tumult into quiet In a few words, he pointed out that the campaign was. nearly closed and the time of the decision was close at hand. While Mr. Bryan was in the midst of his anti imperialistic argument, at 10.30 o'clock he was told that he must close at once to catch the train. Turn ing to the audience Mr. Bryan said: "Were I to consider my own strength I should close now, but at the end of a hard week's work I am willing to travel a little further for the sake of staying a little longer I am going to stay with you." - The audience went into a tumult of ecstacy that almost equalled the first. At 11.15 o'clock he concluded his ad dress. Republicans and Trusts. . Elmiea, N. Y., October 20. In his speech here to-day, discussing the Re publican attitude on trusts, Mr. Bryan declared that the Republicans were in consistent and that they had no remedy for trusts.. He said: "They opened the session by creating a money trust and they closed it by practicing fraud in their pretended effort to stop other trusts. The amend ment to the constitution offered by them was not necessary and its pur pose was not to give Congress power that it needed. It was to take away from tne states the power that they nave, so mat it tne republicans con trol the government the State will be powerless to protect itself against a private monopoly. That was the true purpose of that amendment, and when it was defeated the Republicans con fessed that we did not need it because they then brought in a bill which they said was intended to protect the neoole from private monopoly; a bill brought in alter tne amendment was defeated, showing that they did not need the amendment, and all tho Democrats voted for the bill. There was scarcely any opposition vote in the House, but when it went to the Senate and the Democrats demanded that it be passed I at once, tne republican Senators sent WHY HE CURES The Greatest Specialist or the Time Gives Every Case His Personal Attention.

Mr. Brvan devoted almost his entire speech at Medina to the trust question and his remarks were based largely on the following statement prepared i 1. 1 41 : "if our years aero tnere were tnree foundries at Medina under separate management, ach employing from one hundred to one hundred and 'fifty men. These foundries were operated all through the hard times previous to 1896. Then, one of the foundry owners J called his men together and told them emphatically that if Mr. Bryan was elected they need not come back after election day, as the foundry would be closed. In July, 1899, these three foundries entered the trust, the Central Foundry Company, which has a monopoly in the manufacture of soil pipe in the United States. Soil pipe was immediately advanced to the consumers fully 100 per cent Yery soon one factory was closed, was left without a watchman and has been burned ; then a second was closed and has remained so about a year, and is not expected to run again ; five months ago the third one was closed by the trust, although it is now claimed it will be re opened. To-day the men are either gone to other towns or are among tne farmers, helping gather their apple crop." uommenung upon this statement, Mr. Bryan said: "Why need I tell people what a trust means in a town like this.? The rise in the cost of a product is one of the natural things that you expect, but why did you have . to wait for this trust to close down three factories in your town and raise the price of pipe in or der to learn what the trust meant. Dot s not the Standard Oil trust teach you the same lesson? Does not the Sugar trust teach you the same les son! Don't you learn it from a hun dred other trusts that plunder the peo ple at every turn? flow can a man vote the Republican ticket when he knows that under this administration more trusts have been organized than were ever organized in the previous history of the country? "When he knowsthat the Republican party neither denounces the trust to-day nor dares to defend the trust. And when you go to the head of the Re publican national committee, he in sults the intelligence of the American people by telling them there is no trust in the United States."

I never saw so many goods. This store is four stories high, 50 feet wide and 125 feet deep, so Mr. Gaylord told me, and everywhere your eye may rest you see goods, on the tables, shelves, on the counters and, under the counters. I think he must have twice as many goods as anybody else in the city. The Millinery Department was having its-opening, and I must say I never saw so many pretty Hats, and the store was full of Ladies trying them on, Mr. Gaylord told me he had twelve Young Ladies in this de partment, .and they have their department fixed very pretty. He fills every order and guarantees satisfaction or he will refund the money. I am very well pleased with my purchases. AncL-he gave me a nice arm chair, a set of nice glass goblets, a butter dish, sugar dish and spoon holder as presents for my bill. He gives everybody a present that trades with him $5.00 up to $60.00. He showed me half dozen handsome new writing desks he has just received as presents for $60.00 trade, and about a car-load of chairs, tables and lounges ho will begin to give away on next Wednesday morning. . Remember where he has moved to, the new store just north of the postoffice, 208 and 210 North Front street. GEO. O. GAYLORD, PROPRIETOR. . WILMINGTON'S BIO RACKET STORE.
