‘M’IINIIIW YORK
The President Will Attend the
Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
MR. GAGE To TALK FINANCE
Elaborate Preparations for Opening
Banquet Hall in the New Delmon-
ico’s—Municipal Love Feast—Many
Distinguished Guests.
New York, Oct. 6.-——It is expected that
President McKinley will grace with his
presence the dinner of the Chamber of
Commerce, which is to be held at the
. new Delmonico’s on November 23. Not
since the inauguration has the Presi-
dent had an opportunity to meet face
to face the'men of this city who worked
so valiantly for his election.
Therefore, if the President consents
to come on here as the ghest Of the
Chamber he will receiveea royal and
an enthusiastic welcome. He will find
that his views on the currency ques-
tion will receive a. patriotic support,
irrespective of what he may possibly
say on the tariff.
. The- arrangements for the dinner
have not yet been completed. The reg-
ular monthly meeting of the members
of _the Chamber of Commerce will be
held on Thursday, when the matter of
the annual banquet will be brought up.
Then a committee will be appointed to
take charge of the affair, issue the
manifold invitations and correspond
with the various guests 'tO be as to the
subjects to which they respectively will
respond. - '-
Of course it is not expected that the
President, if he comes to the dinner,
will make a set speech. His presence
alone will add honor and lustre to the
Occasion. _ .
,The Secretary of the Treasury, Ly—
man J. Gage, also will probably be
asked to attend and speak upon some
topic within the lines of finance, in
.which assuredly every member is
deeply interested.
Another topic will interest those for-
tunate enough to attend the banquet.
That will be the discussion on the
needs of Greater New York. It is not
yet certain whether Andrew H. Green,
the father of the idea, or Gen. Benja-
min F. Tracy, the chairman of the
commission which prepared the char-
ter, Will be asked to speak to this
toast.
,Mr. Seth Low also may have an Op-
portunity to express his views on the
manner in which the magnificent big
city should be managed by its Ofiicials.
On the day when the banquet will be
held the election in Greater New York
will have been held. a
It will then be known whether Mr.
Low, Gen. Tracy, Judge Van Wyck,
Henry George, P. Jerome Gleason (and
so on) is to be the first Mayor. Then
the bitter feelings of the campaign will
have died away and the subject of im-
proving the situation in the entire city
can be listened to dispassionately and
Without any material rancor being ex-
hibited.

‘ mac’s" PLAN FOR LABOR.
Tb Set His Social Democracy Build-
ing a. Tennessee Railroad.
Chicago, Oct. 6.—-Railroad building
ifas been selected by Eugene V. Debs
as the first great industrial project to
be undertaken by the Social Democracy
of America.
He has sought for the privilege of
constructinga railroad in Tennessee,
'and if his preliminary plans meet with
favor the work will be launched next
month.
The City Council of Nashville will re-
ceive a formal proposition from the So-
cial Democracy to build a seventy-five-
'mile road from Nashville to Lebanon,
which will be turned over to the city
of Nashville for a nominal considera-
tion.
Labor for the building and operation
of the railroad will be furnished by the
Social Democracy, and it is intended
that the road will be maintained un-
der the methods set forth by the ad-
vocates of public ownership of rail-
roads.
The building of the line, with another
small line at Monterey to connect with
the Cincinnati Southern Road, owned
by the city of Cincinnati, will give a
direct road to Cincinnati.
It is proposed to employ idle labor in
constructing the road, and the Social
. Democracy will have at its selection
capable and experienced men Who were
its members when it was the Old Amer-
lcan Railway Union.
The establishment Of a colony on the
Line of the new railroad, it built, will
he a second undertaking.
ROCKEFELLER BESTS. POTTER.
The Parson’s Suit for $250,000 Dis-
missed for Luck of Prosecution.
New York, Oct. 6,—The action
brought by the Rev. Daniel C. Potter,
Formerly, pastor of the Tabernacle
Baptist Church, on Second avenue. to
recover $250,000 from John D. Rockefel-
ler, who had been a large contributor
to the church, for malicious- prosecu-
tion, was dismissed by Justice Gilder-
sleeve, of the Supreme Court, yester-
day. The case has been pending for a
long time, and . has been adjourned
frequently at the request of the
plaintiff. Mr. Rockefeller’s counsel
were on hand yesterday to try the case,
but Mr. Potter appeared in person and
said he had no counsel, and desired an
adjournment. He said his counsel had
inst returned to him the papers in the
case. and that he had had no Oppartu-
nity to get other counsel;
G. Vv’. Murray, ’who, with Joseph H.
Clioatc, appeared for Mr. Rockefeller,
said that thiswas but one Of the ex-
cuses of Mr. Potter for adjournment,
of which he always seemed to have a
supply. .
Justice Gildersleeve said that
case had been adjourned so often that
Mr. Potter’s counsel probably had not j
the eifrontery to appear in court and z
The '
ask for another adjournment.
Judges thereupon dismissed the case.

They Know" a Good. Thing
When They See It. -
Many‘a woman has felt the depths of
humiliation when her. head, filled to
suffocation, and matter running from it
down her throat was causing intolerable
nausea, she has been forced either to
ing matter she knew was causing the
trouble. Many a. woman can remember
when, just as she was making a special
eifort to be entertaining and to please,
her words were choked Oil by the same
never ceasing dropping Of matter down
from her head into her throat. What’s
that? You’ve felt it? Of course you have;
few in this climate escape. But though
misery loves company, that doesn’t
make this cross much easier to bear.
convenience, humiliation, actual misery
resulting from the disease which causes
this trouble,- is not necessary. Not at all.
You can check it at once, you can re-
move it in a week, you can cure it in a
fortnight. And by the simplest means,
with no trouble, and at an expense so
trifling as to be almost nothing. Hun-
dreds of women in Norwalk have tried
it, and they know. Listen to what one
of them says:
Mrs. G. F. Borst lives at No. 1 Bur-
bank street, South Norwalk. She
says: “I think California Catarrh
Cure is lovely; it has cleared my
head and throat wonderfully, and
above all helped my headaches from
which I had not been free for
a long time. I had tried lots of medi-
dine, but never got much help, and read-
ing so much of C. C. C. I went. to Plais-
ted’s drug store and got a bottle. The
eifect has been all that I could ask, and
the best feature of it is that it relieves
at once.”

Cat-arrh Cure, and prevents colds

MANY FOREST FIRES.
Hundreds of Acres Burned Over in Illi-
nois—Smoke Over Lake Michigan.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 5.—-Extremely hot
weather for the month of October is
now prevailing in this section. Dense
smoke aggravates the conditions.
On account of drought the last two
months everything is as dry as tinder,
and forest and prairie fires are numer-
ous. Lake Michigan has been almost
unnavigable on account of the smoke
and fog. Captains Of incoming vessels
report a most alarming state of af-
fairs. Boats picking their way through
the Straits of Mackinaw were particu-
larly hampered. Landmarks were ut-
terly obliterated and lights rendered in-
distinct at a distance of the length 0f
the steamer. The smoke was attri-
b'uted to excessive forest fires. Hunt-
ing parties careless in their camping
are thought to have started the conila-
grations. Marine underwriters are ap—
prehensive of numerous strandings on
account of smoke, and bulletins from
the lower end of the lakes are watched
for with great anxiety.
Chicago’s sOuthern wards and sub-
urbs are surrounded by prairie fires,
and dense smoke overhangs a large
part of the territory lying south of
Seventy-fifth street. Hundreds of acres
of prairie have been burned over and
thousands of,feet of sidewalks and
fencing consumed. Firemen in this di-
vision of the city are completely ex-
hausted fighting prairie fires by day
and night. Most of the fires are started
by sparks from locomotives, and not
infrequently by mischievous boys, who
set the grass on fire for the excite—
ment.
A dispatch from Bremen, Ind., says
the most disastrous prairie fire known
in the history of Marshall County is
now raging. Hundreds of acres of land
in the northern portion Of the county,
comprising what is locally known as
the “Big Marsh," is a vast smouldering
waste. _At times, when fanned by a
breeze, the heat bursts into a blaze,
and, darting across clover fields, corn
fields or meadows, lays waste every-
thing in its path, only stopping when
headed off by plowed fields or high-
ways. The drought for the last sixty
‘days has made the pastures brown,
compelling flocks'to seek the lowlands
for grazing, where the fire is smoul-
dering underneath. Many instances are
reported where cattle, in passing over
the treacherous ground, have broken
through into the burning peat and per-
isled.
l‘ armors are kept busy day and night
fighting the flames and preventing de-
struction of their homes,_but the lack
of water makes the battle almost hope-
less. Just west of Walkerton more
than one thousand acres have been
swept of every vestige of vegetation,
many thousands of tons of hay and
mi es of fences having Leen consumed.
W'I‘ti; fire on every side, great anxiety
is being felt for the safety of towns
without fire protection. Nothing short
of a drenching rain can possibly check
t-.e progress of the flames.

Six New Fever Cases.
New Orleans, La., Oct. 6.—Six new
cases of yellow fever were reported
yesterday.
There is little improvement in the
business sit-nation, owing to the refusal
of Texas, Alabama and Mississippi to
let up on their quarantine regulations.
All cases of distress in New Orleans
are being promptly relieved. No as-
sistance is needed here. . .
