ELABORATE PREPARATIONS. Enormous Sums of Money Expanded For the Comfort of the Young. Couple. Valuable.“ Wedding Presents. The Detail Arrangements. BARI, Italy, Oct. 22.—-The Italian royal yacht Savoia. having on board the Princess Helene of Montenegro, her betrothed hus- band, the Prince of Naples, crown prince of Italy, and the members of the princely family of Montenegro, who are to be pres- ent at. the marriage, arrived here today, es- COrted by a squadron of Italian warships. The royal yacht had very bad weather while crossing the Adridtic, and nearly all the travelers we‘re seasick throughout the passage. The prince and princess were was-mly greeted on landing, a. vast concourse oi Afihtollans and others who had arrived in town crowding it to its utmost capacity. The local attempts at decoration were-uni- versal, but ludicrous. They were mace in response to the following municipal edict, which was posted on the walls of the prin— cipal thoroughfares: “Citizens of Bari: “It is your duty to clean the streets at all unseemly mud. , “Used and tattered washing linen must be taken away from the windows. “Little children must no longer run naked in the street 3. “Goats, cows, hens and drunken men must be kept at a proper distance. “No dust bins may for three weeks be emptied into the streets. “Licensed coachmen are forbidden to wear ragged liveries and are advised to borrow disused police uniforms. . “Let these things be done, and our citi zone will prove themselves worthy of their ancestor, and our city will be duly gar- nished for greeting her royal bride.” Great Preparations In Rome. ROME, Oct. 22.—-The fates inaugurated in honor of the marriage of the Princess Helene of Montenegro to the Prince of Naples have practically commenced. The decorations are universal, the city is over- flowing with visitors, and the marriage guests are beginning to arrive. The apartments which the prince and princess will occupy at the Quirinal are entered from the beautiful Sela dcgli Sviz- zorl, built of marble and hung with tapes- try, and whose wooden roof is magnificent- ly carved. The suit set apart for the use of the young couple is composed of 12 sunny rooms, six of which were assigned to Emperor William when he visited Rome in 1888. The other six rooms were pre« pared for the emperor and empress of Ger-- many when they visited this city in 1893 upon the occasion of the silver wedding of King Humbert and Queen Margaret. All the rooms referred to look into the Via Venti Settembre. About. $400,000 was spent on the preparation of only the last; six rooms for occupancy. The honeymoon, however. will be spent at the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, which has been generally redecorated inside and out, especially the Meridiana apartments, which have been assigned to the bridal pair. The formal entry of the Princess of Montenegro and the crown prince into Rome is to occur tomorrow, and the civil and religious marriage ceremonies take place on Saturday. ' ‘ The religious rites will be performed at the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (St. Mary of the Angels), one of Queen Margaret’s favorite churches, on the Piaz- za Termini, the Church of the Sudario, the property of the royal family, being too small. while the Paollna chapel, in the Quirinal, has remained closed since 1870, when it was placed under the interdict of the Vatican. The Wedding procession will leave the Quirinal at 10 o’clock in the morning, passing through the Via Nazionale, which will be lined with troops throughout. The \Veddlng Procession. The cortege will be preceded by a strong escort of cuirassiers, and the royal car- riages are to. be surrounded by outriders. The carriages occupied by the king and queen and the bride and bridegroom will each be drawn by three pairs of the finest horses in the royal stables. Behind them will come the royal guests, the diplomatic corps, the members of the municipality, etc., all in full dress and accompanied by their families. Military bands of music will be stationed at every convenient point, and the streets, already profusely decorated, will be strewn with fiOWers. Large sums of money have been spent by. the municipality for ban- ners, flags, drapery and illuminations, and the latter, it is expected, will be upon a more extensive scale than ever before wit- nessed even in Rome. The Church of Santa Maria degli An- geli has also been richly decorated for the occasion. Only the invited guests can be admitted, and the marriage ceremony will be performed by Mgr. Anzino, the oldest of the court chaplains. After the ceremony the procession will return to the Quirinal by the same route. The civil marriage will probably be per- formed on Friday in the throneroom of the Quirinal, the premier and minister for foreign afi'airs, the Marquis di Rudini, who is also the crown notary, officiating. An extensive amnesty is to be declared, fetcs are to be held throughout Italy, sums of money are to be given to the poor and many decorations and promotions are to be distributed. The Prince’s Note. The last lines addressed by the Prince of Montenegro to his daughter on her be- trothal have attracted much attention. They were: » “To Mine Helena: ‘ “All is not gold that glitters. Be mind- ful of this, 0 my daughter, and know that happiness has never chosen for her seat a throne. Under the kingly crown is the crown of thorns, and not even in fable can we find a happy king. Seek happiness in the graceful corner of thy home, in work within thy human power and obedient to divine command. Thy father, NICHOLAS.” Parliament, when it reassembles, will grant 500,000 lire ($100,000) per annum to the crown prince and princess and «with this, free apartments, etc., and the prince’s pay as a lieutenant general and other lit- tle perquisites. the young couple will get along for the present. ' The wedding prcsen.s are both numerous and superb, those of the czar and czarina being alone valued at about 2,000,000 lire. The Princess of Montenegro is a great fu- write with the emperor (and empress of Russia—in fact, at one time the princpss, CH" . _, ' " arris.

The crown prince is a slight, delicate, studious young man, who begged ofi from marrying until such a course was no long- _ or possible. The princess is a tall, splen- didly formed woman of queenly presence. The betrothal bracelet is described as being very beautiful and of great value, and one of the rings presented by the prince to the princess is composed of four circles, each set with stones of a different color—diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds—thus combining the national colors of Italy and Montenegro—Italy, white, red and green; Montenegro, white, red and blue. IN MEMORY OF NELSON. The London Celebration as It Concerns France and Germany. LONDON, Oct. 22.-—A quiet celebration occurred on Trafalgar square today. It was the anniversary of the battle of Traf- algar in 1805. _ During the past few days crowds of peo- ple have watched the steeple jacks deco- presented a gay appearance. The shaft was twined with garlands of laurel leaves, and the-grim appearance of the lions'was considerably modified. The plinth was buried beneath floral Wreaths sent by the NaVy league, a patriotic organization formed to stir up public sentiment as to the needs of the British navy; from polit- ical clubs, ironclads or other war vessels, veteran officers or patriotic associations, etc. One wreath was inscribed: _ “From the daughters and grandson of a mldshipman aboard the Neptune at the battle of Trafalgar.” While the celebration today is regarded by the neWspapers of France as being in the line of a significant hint in connection with the czar’s visit to the French capital, it is looked upon in certain circles here as more in the nature of a hint to Germany. that Great Britain, in spite of the weak- neSs of her army, has been able to make herself respected in the past, for there is no doubt that the taunts of the German newspapers have aroused more real anger here recently than any political events or utterances for years past. The Castles’ Whereabouts Secret. LONDON, Oct. 22,—Solicitor Abrahams of the United States embassy was besieged by reporters endeavering to obtain the ad- dress of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Castle, who were committed for trial yesterday. Mr. Abrahams refused to disclose the where- abouts of the Castles, though he admitted that they were in London. The solicitor said that Mr. Castle was absolutely inno- cent and that justice; required his acquit- tal. Mrs. Castle, he said, was very much broken down by her ordeal. Princeton’s Sesqulcentennial. PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 22.—This was “alumni and Students’ day,” and, since the weather was as fine as though made to order, the result was that the town was filled to overflowing with visitors. Every train arriving from New York and Phila- delphia added hundreds of graduates and relatives or friends of students and faculty to the already large crowd here. At 2 o’clock the memorial tablet on Nas~ sau hall was unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. Mrs. Astor Improving. NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—A report was cir- culated today that Mrs. John Jacob Astor had sufiered a severe relapse, that her con- dition was-very critical, and that several physicians were in attendance upon her. The report was instantly denied at the residence of John Jacob Astor. It was de- clared that Mrs. Astor was, in fact, rapid- ly recovering and that she was able to sit up and move about her room. The Sultan Warned. \ LONDON, Oct. 22.——The Times publishes a dispatch from Constantinople stating that the embassies have complained to the ports against the condemnation to death of an innocent Armenian named Vartun. whose release was promised by the govern- ment. The porte was warned that if the prisoner was not released forthwith seri- ous measures would be taken jointly by the powers. A Masonic Lodge’s Centenary.

'Ifih‘li’d“919%h¥lihslldim~ep THE STORY OF' THE SALMON. How and \Vhere Her Myriad of Eggs Are Deposited. In the Autumn time, and onward~ to the beginning of the next year, the mother salmon ascends the rivers to deposit the eggs, and thus to- secure the continuance of her race. In con- nection with this periodical visit or visits to the river must be mentioned a. very curious fact. The idea is en- tertained very strongly by some au- thorities that a salmon invariably re- turns to, its native river or that in which it was bred. It has even been asserted by fishermen that, when sev- eral rivers enter the sea in one stream .the salmon bred in each river will avoid the strange streams. The late Frank Buckland, a. strong believer in this instinct of the fish, regarded the sense of smel} as that which led it to its native river. Perhaps the truth is that for the most part sal- mon do return t6 their own rivers, but that the practice and habit- are not necessarily invariable. We know the fishes certainly swim great distances along the coast lines where ‘they are captured in stake and bag nets, and it may well be the case that now and then a fish will turn into a river that is near, in preference to seeking its own distant water. Arrived in her river, the mother sal- mon begins to scoop out a kind of trench in the gravel of the stream. This she efl‘ects by plowing into the gravel with her body. This trench is to be the nursery of her young. The eggs are laid in the furrow, and are duly fertilized by the male salmon. Then the trench is filled in by the ef- forts of both parents, the eggs are covered with gravel, and the mound thus formed is called in fisher’s lan— guage a “redd.” Haw many eggs 9. mother salmon will deposit is, of course a difficult question to determ- ine, but a stock calculation maintains that she produces about 900 eggs for every pound she weighs. Each egg in its diameter measures a quarter of an inch. and it is estimated that 25,- 000 eggs go to a gallon. Gliders at‘Sea. Said the old sea captain: “I never believed much in ghosts, although I knew many a sailor to swear to a good ghost story; but on one occasion I did see a real ghost myself, and a good stout wooden one he was. I lived at Newcastle-on-Tyne then, and the ship I was master of sailed from there. On one voyage,when we were only a few days out, the ship’s cook died. We had no man on board who was much of a‘cook, and perhaps it was the bad messes we had to eat that gave some of the men the dyspepsia, and made ’em see crooked. However, that may be, it was the night after we buried poor ' Dick that the mate came running to me in a great fright, with the news that the ship’s cock was walking on the water astern of the ship, and that all the crew were on deck looking at him. I was mad enough to hear such nonsense, and I told him, sharp, that we had better put the ship about and race the ghost back to Newcastle. .“But when I went on deck—bless me, I thought for several minutes it really was the old man, just as we knew him. The clothes, cap, figure, were so like, even the way it had of bobbing up and down was Dick to a T. The men were all scared to death, and stood stiff. But I had just sense enough left to have the ship put about. And when we came near the ghost of poor Dick, it turned out to be a broken mast of some wreck, which was float- ing along, straight end up! . “But if I hadn’t chased and caught up with that ghost,” said the captain, “every man of ’em would believe to day that Dick was after us to take his old place in the galley again!” _ Giving Him a Lesson. Mother—It shocks me awfully to think you took the penny. Remem- ber, it is as much a. sin to steal a penny as a dollar. Now, how do you feel, Willie? ' Willie—Like a Chump!

' AZET'TE NOT FOND OF PANICS. . 4" ' Depew'lfhin‘ks Railroads Hake Most Money “’hen They Give \Vork to Most Men. In all. his speeches Mr. Bryan en- deavors to excite employee against em- ployers; wage-earners against .wage- payers. I' state this proposition without, fear of contradiction—a. prop-. osition which every workingmari knows to be trueéthat if the employer and his employee are agreed upon wages and hours, then their interests are the same. The émploye war‘its the factory, or the furnace, or the mills, to have orders, to have a market which will take: the product; otherwise he cannot have employment or he will have to work on half time. He wants his employer to extend his business, to double it, to treble it, to quadruple it, because that means that more of his fellows shall receive employment. It means that he shall share in this pros- perity by an increase of pay. This pan- ic has thrown 90,000 railroad men off the pay-roll. No one feels worse about that than the directors and the presidents and managers. There are 50,000 cars lying idle between New York and Chicago and St. Louis. That means locomotive engineers and fire- men and brakemen and switchmen out of employment. That means less work in the shops and mechanics laid off; that means that the mill is no longer sending out its product and the farmer no longer finds a market. What I ,want, what I pray for, what I am out traveling for night and day and mak- ing speeches to bring about is, to change all this. New I am distressed and my heart is wrung; my men and their wives and daughters are coming to me for employment. What I want is to see the day, and to see it speedily, when I shall be seeking men, when I shall be advertising for engineers and firemen and switchmen on the New York Central railroad; when every railroad president and manager will be in a position to employ all the skilled railway labor there is in the country, and be calling upon the farmers for their boys to enter the service. " ‘ ‘ Mr. Bryan says that this experiment of the free coinage of silver will, of course, cause a. panic. This boy of the Platte, in his wreckless talk, does not understand the horrors of a. panic. We swallowed a potato bug four years ago, and now he proposes we take a. dose of paris green to kill it. A panic means the banks refusing to loan because the depositors are calling for their money; it means the clcsing of the mills and shops and factories and mines; it means the biggest mercantile establish- ments going into bankruptcy and their clerks into the streets; it means thou- sands of honest toilers seeking jobs without finding them, and returning to homes where there are hungry chil- dren and despairing wives. To talk lightly of panic is to be indifferent to human misery and a crime against suf— fering humanity.—Chauncey M. Depew. Experience Despised by Silver liIen. The legislation proposed in the Chi- cago and St. Louis platforms proceeds on a repudiation of the principles of all the legislation that has proceeded it. The idea. that was uppermost in the minds of the authors of our earliest coinage legislation at the closest possible correspondence in the legal and commercial ratio between gold and silver should be maintained, is thrown to the winds, and the idea. of the later legislation that a. dollar in any and every one of the constituent elements of the currency Of the United States, gold, silver and paper, should be main- tained as of equal value is alike dis- carded. The proposal is that the mon- etary unit should be a. dollar ’contain- ing 371.25 grains of pure silver, worth today in the markets of the world about 53 cents, and that thisshould be the measure of all values and the stand- ard for the payment of all debts. This, obviously, is silver monometallism, pure and simple. Died For Her Grandson. ' GUELPH, Out, Oct. 21.—Mrs. Truckle was killed by a trolley car. Her grandson ran in front of a car. She ran to save him. She was killed almost instantly. She cov- ered the boy with her body, and, while badly injured, his life was probably saved by the old woman’s devotion.

DO you know that forty or cut. of the children of the whole pworlg’d have weak kidneys to a greater or less ex- tent? Mothers know it and there is a yery mistaken policy of “saying noth-1 ing aboutit.” Sweet, clean, dry beds should be and can be the resting place by night for our little ones. Some mothers attribute it “to habit.” It is not a habit at all.. Why are these chil- dren who have this habit thirsty at bed- time? Let us tell you. Weak Kidneys become somewhat inflamed by the daily actrvrty of_the child and demands some- thing cooling. The result is the same, whether they drink or not—wet beds. We write our school teachers, asking them to. always and quickly permit Fred or Nellie to retire on request, as their kidneys are weak. Let us set yen right in this matters-s Give such chil- dren one Dean’s Kidney Pill twice a day, and as sure as you do, their kid- neys quickly strengthen to a full ability, of retentionmnd sweet rooms and beds, and undisturbed studies at school will be the result. Their weakened kidneys are nearly always the result of some formersickness, and as easily cured as any childish ailment. Dean’s Kidney Pills are pleasant for children to take, and perfectly harmless. An example of the success of Dean’s Kidney Pills in this trouble, comes from Meriden, Con-n. Mrs. Wm. Wood who lives in that city at No. 130 Colony street says :: ‘ ‘My little boy of ten years of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys causing him to wet the bed. 80 many mothers punish their children for this, but I knew he cpuldn’t help it. I read about Dean’s Kidney Pills curing in- continuance _ of urine in adults and thoughtit might help the little fellow. I procured a box and their use produced a marked benefit at once. It is very seldomhe does it now and I shall con- tinue giving him Dean’s Kidney Pills until the kidneys are sound and strong. It is only out of gratitude that I permit publication but the trouble is a very prevalent one and most people from modesty ordifidence do not speak of it. Physicians do not appear to be able to. cope With the trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific for ,this terrible annoyance. ~ Dean’s Kidney Pills are sold for 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50.
