Mr. Harriman stopped long enough in Buffalo the other day to say a few thingsabout prosperity that the calamity prophets of Wall street will find it hard to answer even with the ever-ready howl. Mr. Harriman has been traveling in the West. He has seen things that never loom on the vision of those whose sight is shut in by skyscrapers and the Trinity Church steeple. “I have been out ina big coun- try,” said Mr. Harriman, “and I have seen bigger things than sky- scrapers,” and then he said that New Yorkers seem to think that the busy men of the country, the men who do things, govern their move- ments by Wall street. “What sort of a reflector is that you call ‘the street,’ after all?” asked this financier whom no one has ever had the temerity to call a fool. “It’s a false one, I tell you. What mat- ters it if stocks show an upward turn of a point one day and then switch down two or five points the next? That is no indication of the real wealth of the country, nor of its prosperity, and no reflection of actual conditions.” Mr. Harriman went back East with the conviction that the whole country is booming. He is a judge of substantial booms. No one can accuse E. H. Harrison of an over- weening affection for Thedore ‘Roosevelt, yet he has made the one best answer to the men who declare all through the working hours of the day that the policies of the Presi- dent spell the ruin of the country.

Steamer San Gabriel Runs Ashore on Pacific Coast.

Bar Harbor, Me, Sept. 11.—Miss Eva Courtlandt Palmer of New York was married at Brooend, the cottage of her mother, Mrs. Robert Abbee, to Angelo Sikelianas, a Greek poet.

This i3 a costume she has adopted for permanent use, believing it to be the most healthful. The bridegroom also appeared in native costume. The couple will go to Greece to live after the honeymoon.

Root turned turtle in the harbor and sank in twenty-six feet of water. The dead are August Miller and John Koddy, both of Milwaukee.

Lexington, Ky, Sept. 11.—In the Franklin county circuit court Judse Stout has entered an order suspend- ing the warrants issued against- W. S. Taylor, former governor of Kentucky, who is charged with complicity in the murder of Wiillam Goebel and who is in Indlana. The action was taken on the motion of Commonwealth’s Attor- ney Franklin for the purpose of allow- ing Taylor to return to Kentucky and testify in behalf of Caleb Powers, who is soon to be tried the fourth time for the Goebel murder. Two requisitions have been made upon governors of Indiana for Taylor, but both were re- fused. Attorney Franklin, in a state- ment, says that it is for the purpose of getting Taylor to make a statement in open court that his presence is wanted at the trial by the common- wealth, even though he comes as a defense witness. WOMAN KILLED BY BURGLAR Wife of Naval Officer First Fired Two Shots at Intruder. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 11.—Mrs. Mary Lawless Rorschach, wife of Lieuten- ant Frank Rorschach, U. 8.

St. Paul, Sept. 11.—Judge Lochren, who 1is hearing the rate cases in the United States circuit court, said in court that he doubted whether or not the “Interference” complained of by the railroads was sufficient to cause him to declare the state rate laws in- valid. This is the first comment made by the court since the beginning of the legal battle a week ago. The judge expressed his views of the case fol- lowing the arguing of law questions by E. S. Roberts, representing the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads. Should Judge Lochren adhere to his opinion that the legislature did not fix rate laws in violation of interstate commerce acts then it is possible that the railroads will lose their cases.

It is perfectly well known to every one that water constantly dropping upon a stone will wear it away, and there is a trite old proverb regarding this fact. The force of a single drop of water falling from a height is not great, but the results of this tiny blow when it is many times repeated are astounding. There is a story of one poor wretch who was bound with his back to a stone wall and had a stream of water “of the bigness of a man’s finger” directed on to his bare head, the water falling from a height of about eighteen feet. The receptacle from which this apparently harmless stream trickled was a barrel holding only twenty gallons, but before the water had more than half run out the man was dead, with a hole in his skull which exposed the brain.- —Popular Me- chanies, All 8he Had. In the absence of his wife and the fllness of the servant Mr. Taylor un- dertook to help three-year-old Marjory to dress. He had succeeded in getting her arms in the sleeves and through the armholes of her garments and had buttoned her into them. Then he told her to put on her shoes herself, and he would button them. He soon discov- ered that she was vainly striving to put a left shoe on her right foot. “Why, Marjory,” he said impatiently, ““don’t you know any better than that? You are putting your shoes on ‘the wrong feet.” “Dey’s all de foots I dot, papa,” re- plied Marjory tearfully.—Youth’s Com- panion. Climbing a Water Stair. Even a steamboat can climb a hill by going up one step at a time. This re- markable performance can be wit- nessed several times dally during the. season of navigation beside the Vrang. waterfall in the Bandak Norsje canal, Norway.
