HilUspoke to a large crowd in lucmnond, va., Tuesday night. Mr. Hill's speech was largely confined to a constitutional argument against im perialism. He hardly touched upon the financial issue. He said that as impe rialism was the paramount issue it was natural and proper that be should con fine his address to that theme. Mr. Hill declared that it was right that Bryan i was given the Democrat!:; nomination and held that in his public career of four years tbe nominee had not said a foolish thing. In conclusion tbe speaker said that he brought good cheer from tbe Em- )ire state; that the people there were ailing into line; that the Democrats were working night and day; that nothing honorable would be left undone to gain a Democratic victory and the Democrats expected to carry the Empire state for William Jennings Bryan. fC Core a Cold la Oas lalc- Laxattts Bromo Qbihini Tablst draught refund tbe money if it fail to com Kit K. w Urovc't gatnre on dox at NO TIME FOR FRIEtfDSHlK I That Old FtiManei QuU(r As Said to Be, Oaf pt Itate Friendship- Is said to be oufriflf Jate. .We .certainly have not much jttme to spare nowaday even ta reflect erf .What the rush and hurry and bustlt of I mddenv life are costing na.

Daring a recent ceremony in St Pe ter's", Borne, one of the crystal chande liers suspended from the ceiling began to creak ominously, and the people be neath it hastily scattered. Ir a mo ment the mass fell and was dashed in to a thousand pieces on tbe floor below. In St Peter's a few days before wbeji the workmen were suspending these chandeliers they were taking them but of piles of numbered boxes, for St Pe ter's, like, a, theater, has many "proper ties" and is decked in a different man ner for Its different ceremonials. Cords run over pulleys fastened far up aloft and with these the chande liers were hoisted to their places. St Peter's Is so enormous that the eye there Is continually deceived.- Tbe chubby cherubs at the holy water font look to be the size of ordinary babies, yet they are nearly seven feet tall and a man standing beside them looks like a dwarf. When the workmen were hoisting these chandeliers from the floor, a traveler noted with amazement that the masses of crystal were over eight feet high. . Yet when hoisted to their places far up in the dim heights they looked about the size of a man's head. Workmen in St ' Peter's are called "sabpletrinl." They take their name from the basilica "San Pietro" "san- pietrino," plural "saupietrlni," They have a set of lofty scaffolds mounted on rollers. These they move from place to place about the vast church. They are not unlike our fire departments' water towers, r Ladder after ladder runs up the scaffolding, and by their aid they reach places from 100 to 150 feet above the floor. Other ingenious scaffoldings are used for work on the inside of the dome.; Seen up there the "sanpietrini" look like flies crawling on the ceiling. The top of tbe dome Is about 400 feet above the floor-St Louis Republic . . t . - . THE IRISH PEASANT. He Is the Gayest Fellow la tbe "World trader Difficulties. The Irish peasant is still, thank heaven, what Sir Walter Scott called him after the visit of the great novelist to Ireland in the early thirties he is still "the gayest fellow in the world under difficulties and afflictions." lie has a cheerful way of regarding cir cumstances which to others would be most unpleasant and disheartening. A peasant met with an accident which resulted in a broken leg.'' The neigh bors - of course commiserated him. "Arrah," he remarked, with a gleam of satisfaction In his eye as he regarded the bandaged limb, "what a blessing It is that it wasn't me neck. ' , Yes, the irrepressible Irishman has a Joke for every occasion. Two country. men who had not seen each other for a long time met at a fair. They had a lot of things to tell each other. "Shure It's married I am," said O'Brien. "Tod don't tell me sof said Blake. -"Faith; yes," said O'Brien, "an I've got a fine; healthy bhoy which the neighbors cay fs the very Dieter of me.' Blake lolked for a moment at O Brlen. who watfpt to say the least remarkable for h!s good looks, and then said1. "Qch, .Well, wna.ra me narrum so long as me child's healthy?" And yet a peasant to. whom a witticism thus sppntaneous- ly springs may be very simple minded!. peasants 'passion -for rhetoric stlH Induces them to commit to mema OF .imposing 'polysyllables which they often misapply, with; themost amusing and grotesque results.

Proposals of Secretary Hay, A in His Notes . of July 3rd. the Basis for the Plan of Action.. Washington, Oct. 2. Favorable news has reached Washington from the Eu ropean chancellories indicating that com Die te agreement as to China is within sight and that, too, on the basis of the Erosposltion laid down by Secretary ay in his note of July 8, arid the sub sequent notes treating of that subject. The accord in Russia with the United States is more complete than was antici pated at first and reports show that all of tbe European nations probably are placing themselves in position to take advantage of the opening mado by the United States and soon will be ready to begin negotiations for settlement with the Chinese government. ; Tbe Russians hav eiven notice of such purpose and while the text of the French note on this subject, referred to in today' prees dis patches, has not reached the 8f ate depart ment the ofiicials are satisfied tbnt this i correctly reported and- that. Franco, like Russia, is ready toueeotiatc dt once, As for Germany, either the position ol that govern men t has been misunderstood or it nas sustained a cuunge ol , mind rotBibIy tbe ' former . is tbe esse, . bur, however that may be! it is quite' certain from the advices which have reached Wellington today that the German government, upon careful inspection oi tbe plans for a settlement; projected by the United States, finds therein nothing inconsistent with tbe German aspira tions. Therefore, it may ; be expected that Germany, too, will be prepared soon to join in this common movement toward a settlement, r It may be stated that altogether the prospects of an ad justment of the Chinese difficulty without resort to formal war are very mucb brighter than they were one week ago. ' v How Moody Got Oat of It. ; Many t were tbe Interesting experi ences belonging to the first Northfleld conference called by D. L. Moody, One especially shows Mr, Moody himself in his varying phases. It was the con versation hour at noon, and abbut 100 men were sitting under the tent on Round Top Mr. Moody, leaning sturdily against the tent pole, led the meeting. Sudden ly there came from him the plump question, "Brethren, how many of ypa have so grown ia grace that you can bear to have your faults toldl' . Many nands went up. Quick as a flash, but neither sharply nor Insult ingly, Mr. Moody turned to a young minister and said: "Brother, you have spoken 13 times in 12 days here and perhaps shut OCX 12 other good men from speaking." It was true. Tbe young man Ball been presuming and officious. He hiuj held up his hand, but he could not beat to be chidden, and now he stoutly de fended, himself, only, making matters worse. Then another minister broA forth and berated Mr. Moody for his bluntnesa. The jitter blushed, but lis tened until the reproof was done, Tbct he suggestively covered bis face and spoke through "his fingers, "Brethren, admit the. fault my friend charges 3 with; but. brethren, I did not hold t9 iny hand r Youth's Companion, i pJd It vlti.'a tfam. : i -i nm wruinfr to dd eTSythhupr. n.l the applfcaottpt work. .

Chairman Travis, of the penitentiary board, speaking of the remarkable fall ingoff in the number of convicts from ' 1,800 to 800 in four yearssays it is due to the use of convicts by counties on their roads. He thinks the number will not further decrease, as about all the counties which desire the road system under which convicts . are sentenced to labor on the road now have it. ' Raleigh Post: It having been suggest- - edthat Col. Waddell and Gov. Jarvis might withdraw from the senatorial ' race, in reply to a correspondent of the Charlotte Observer upon this point Col. Waddell said: "You may say that I am in the race and shall stay in to tbe finish." As to Gov. Jarvis' withdrawal. Col. Waddell said: "I do not know. ; but Jarvis is not of the backing-down kind." We are sure he states the rase both for himself and Gov. Jarvis. They are both n to stay until the votes are counted.' . UKEBARNUM'S SHOW. Bis Four Iron and Steel Trust Will Be the Greatest on Earth. ; New York. Oct. 2. The statement is mae by authorities in the iron and steel trade that if President McKinley is re elected there will be, in the near future," consolidation of the American Tin Plate company, the National Steel Co., the American Steel Hoop Co., and the American Sheet Steel Co., four of tbe greatest trusts formed during tbe present administration. Each of these concerns is at presents largely controlling factor in its particu lar line of business. Tbe tin-plate trust controls the tin plate industry, having almost a monopoly in the business and being notoriously able to fix the price of tin plate. The steel-hoop trust makes a large part of its class of goods. The National Steel company is one of the largest steel concerns. The Sheet Steel company is the newest erf these concerns and controls tbe output of sheet steel. Tbe new combination, if it ia formed, will make one of the largest corporations in tbe world if not the very largest. lea American feteel lloon com ran t haeacopitaiziation of $33,000,000; tLe t!n-p!ate trust an authorised capital of J. .0,000,000 and an actual isue of 116.- 223,000, and the National Stwl trust aa ai thorized and i8ned capitalization of f53.GOO.000.
