Mr. Storrs did not recognize the young man until the latter introduced himself as a son of President Nick erson, or one of the Chicago national banks. Storrs was delighted to see young Nickerson, and when tho latter said that he was on his wedding tour the orator congratulated him. _ "I had the misfortune to lose my pocket book in the sleeping car last night," said the young man. Mr. Storrs procured $30 of the hotel clerks and handed it to the young man. Landlord McClaskey, who had been a spectator of the scene, called Storrs aside find asked him if he knew the stranger.

The matter " of chief importance treaftCof lathe enormous magnitude of our internal "eompnrce. It is shown thM the value of the •products of the various industries of the United States is seven timee the total value of our foreign commerce, nearly three times the total value of the foreign commerce of Great Britain and Ireland, and lve times the total value of the foreign commerce of France inclnding in each case both import! and exports. The total value of the product* of industry in the United States is also shown to be a little more than twice the total value of the exports of merchandise from all the countries of Europe. The United States is now the largest manufacturing country on the globe. Tho value of products of American mcuiu-, facturo consumed at home is five times the value of the manufactured products of Great Britain and Ireland exparted to all other countries, and more than fourteen times the value of the exports of manufactured products from France to all other countries. The relative value of the .internal as compared with thtf foreign commerce of the country is also illustrated by statements showing that 90 per cent, of the coal mined in this country, 95 per cent, of our iron and steel products, 95 per cent, of the products of our leather industry, 'more than 99 per cent, of our manufactures of wool, 95 per cent, of the products of our cotton manufactures, more than 99 per cent of our manufactures of silk, and 97 per cent, of our manufactures of glass, glassware, earthen wate an 1 stoneware are consumed in the United States. Referring to periods of phenomenal prospsrity and of phenomenal de pression, which have from the beginning marked the commercial and industrial growth of tile country, he says: "Experience has proved thsat fluctuations to be but the symptoms of an exuberant and uncontrollable spirit of enterprise, outrunning tbe possibilities of a healthy and well proportioned development even in this land of abounding natural resources." rhej are Told that Thejr Rave Via- MUSIC HALL, Saturday, OU. llth.

J., Oct 1L—Judge Dixon created a sensation In the Passaic county •ourt by administering a stinging rebuke to the grand jury. The jury appeared in court and the foreman handed up a number of indictments. Running his eye over thorn leisurely Judgo Dixon remarked t lit he sawno indictment against City Tiuusurer ltidgway, and asked if any had been found. Ttow foreman replied in the negative. The judge reminded the jury that in his opening charge he directed their attention to City Treasurer Ridgway's case and directed tlicm to investigate it. He understood they had done so. If such war the case why, he asked, wag there no indictment? To this there was no reply, and the judge addressed the jury at length. He said the triaturei'e report certiiioa 10 the receipt of $2,454 5C from the bureau of license C. when, us a mi.t ter of fait, ho had received no such money j»or iiny money irom that source for tbo perio i S K'cittid. This constituted a mi;Dd» nvahur. "There was no question as to the tfiep ; t-icro is certiinly none as to the law. The olfense may not be very serious, it may not call for severe punishment, but there is now involved in tiie matter a question that is most soriou-. It is whether the grand jury of Passaic county shall observe ,t. solemn oath in strict integrity. I cannot soe how, with the facts before them, this jury can say they find no cause for indict ni-nt against that officer. Gentlemen, it ii no longer a qnetton whether Mr. Ridgway is to be punished, but whether your honor nCt a jury is to be preserved. Tue jury were then directed to return to their deiiberations. The jurymen were very in dignant, and when they left the court house it it understood that they had not un derlaken a reinvestigation of the case in qujsiiou. ■** Be Kntreats Mw to Bapeat and Lead a Better Llfls — She Is Obdurate and - Considers Advice Worthless. •While ber Husband, a Sailor, Is Away (the Sums* for the Neeee- Baeauee She Would Hat Besd Away Her Farm—An Iafarlated Mob Promptly Lfatk tae or the Fleada.
