Makes Statement. _ Claims Weavers Have Not the Slight est Grounds for Striking. 3ettcr Paid, With Better Work l ban at Any Other Mills. Andover, Maps., April 22.—Treasurer William M. Wood of the American Woolen upon arrival at his home i« r*\ tonight, after visiting' several of the mills «.f the company during the lay, upon being presse i for a reply by rhe Associated Press, sai l that he knew nothing whatever returning the rumored offer of Senator Mari us A. Hamm's services as arbitrator to the strike leaders at Providence. lie said: "i feel very well satisfied with the gain the company has made n diit-v villa and T am debating whether or not to publish pet iodically h company's gain in looms. There is i gain every time the gates open and die management is satisfied, so far a" ilm v. ill and the tiv.i-l ,om issue is ■oiiccimd, that the strike is practically a. The Washington mill.- Nsim is lot a two-loom issue at all. although t runs all its looms, two looms to a .waver. Th» weavers do not object to Wo looms at the Washington mills, on contrary they prefer it. They de li nal the abolition of the premium, which is a bonus in addition to the dar seiiedul". and whii li in intend 'd as an im entive for g. ater produc .1011. ■Apparently the weavers wish to re •ui' the extra allowance without the •fl'ort of earning it, and in its place li demand per cent, increase to the present seh iule." Mr. Wood further said that as far as ie could learn through public opinion n Lawrence and fiom his uv.n knovvl dgo, the Washington mills weavers nun not the first ieg to stand on, or uiy reasonable excuse for precipitating i strike. He said they have been ex ptionally favored both as to steady work and good wages, and the greater vurtinn of them will admit it. (Continuing, he said: “There is abso lutely nothing for them to gain by bo ng out on this strike. We are paying the highest wages of any textile mills n the Merrimack valley, particularly n this region. The company will, as I always lias done, try to maintain the light st wages compatible with the coa litions of the business. The position it lias taken will be firmly adhered to. The company has stated it will not iiange its rate and method of payment d wages at this tin*ie. If the help are wise they will return to work and save themselves and the community at large id ieh distress and idleness. “It would lie Interesting if the op ra tives in the mills outside of the Ameri can Woolen c 'o. on similar work would compare tic ir wages earned with those of the American Woolen Co. it would tli u be plainly seen which had treated them tin' most generously. The Ameri can Woolen Co. unsolicited, has raised tteir wages, and this action has not 1» cii followed by the outside mills. Weavers in Olneyville formerly in our employ and now presumably on strike, have obtained work at the outside mills at reduced wages, running two looms, showing very distinctly that if there were any principles involved they have been abandoned. “Intelligent inquiry among the best weavers in Olneyville will show that they not only do not object to two loom work, hut prefer it. and strange as it may seem, many of those who have returned to us have entreated us to excuse them from single loom work and give them two looms, because they can make m ire money thereby.” There is no change in the Washing ton mills strike, tonight. The weavers who left tli ir looms were in session, this afternoon, for some time and ar ranged van ms matters in connection with the strike. No steps were taken to have another conference with the mill management. Tile strikers are de termined to hold out until the corpora tion is brought to terms. Ol •rations in the weaving depart ment of the mills were practically sus P tided, this afternoon, and spinners, duffers and loom fixers wre compelled to quit work. The strikers claim that the few who remained at theiy looms were induced to do so fur the reason that the premiums soon fall due. WANT NO ASSISTANCE. Strikers Refuse Offer to Help Settle Strike from Civic Federation. Providence, It. I.. April 22.—The deter mination of the 3500 or more weavers now oil sti ike in a dozen mills of the American Woolen Co., to fight to the end the struggle which they have waged 1 for over three months against the double loom system, was shown, today, when a eommuniration written at Washington by Senator Mark Hanna iffering his services as arbitrator was ignored by Secretary MoOerniott, one .of I he strike leaders in Olneyville. In the letter a proposition was male i that if the Textile Union would appoint 1 a delegate, the Civic Federation would send an emissary to Boston to meet Treasurer Wood of the American Wool en Co., with the object of reaching an I understanding on the questions now in j dispute. It was evident from the reception the tiller of Senator Hanna received that the strikers will not listen to any prop osition for arbitration. The leaders ss} 1 the struggle has passed that phase where the kindly offices of any person t»r persons can avail, and they assent that, nothing short of a complete »r" cession to the demands will end th" difficulty. j (Continued on page 2.)

Tremendous Ovation Given Comman der-in-Chief Gen. J. B. Gordon. “America,” “Dixie” and “Star Spangled Danner” Impartially Sung. De'las. Tex., April 22.—With the mu sh of ill.;ny builds and ,-eheers from thousands of throats, the 12th annual reunion and meeting of the United (’oil federate Veterans began, today, at the Auditorium at the Pair grounds—now called Camp Albert Sidney J ihnston. The crush of visitors was the largest in the history of Dallas. It was esti mated in the morning that 75,000 stran gers were in the city, while informa tion from the railroads was that by night this number would be swelled to 125.000 at least. The great mess shed seating 12,000 was opened, this morning. The convention building, seating S600, was filled soon after the veterans were called to order by (len. K. M. Vandt, l>r» sident of the Texas Reunion Asso ciation. tlov. Sayers, on behalf jof the state ot Texas, welcomed the visitors. Mayor Hi'ii S. Cabell welcomed the veterans to Dallas. Songs were sung in this order: "America.” "Ronnie Blue Flag,” "Star Spangled Runner,” "The Girl 1 Left Re hind Me,” and again the undying “Dixie.” The oration of the day was delivered by Mon. John Allen, "Private John Alien" of Mississippi. Tile feature of the afternoon was the turning over of the keys of the city to (Jen. (Jordon and the Kaliph of Rag dad and his retinue were present in all their splendor. The convention was compelled to open without Gen. Gordon, the com m mder-in-chief, who was delayed. The convention was opened by Gen. S. D. Lee. Among those on the stage was Judge John H. Reagan, the only surviv ing member of the Davis cabinet. Gen. Lee was in the middle of his speech when the thunderous noise of voices announced the commander-in chief. Gen. Gordon, who addressed the convention. The applause which fol lowed his speech was terrific. The meeting then adjourned till 10.30 A. M., tomorrow. A message was re erived from VV. J. Bryan regretting his inability to be present. DANISH WEST INDIES. Sales Treaty Considered in Landsthing —Vote Expected, Today. Copenhagen, April 22.—The Lands thing, (upper house), today, consider ed in open session, the treaty for pro viding for I he gale of the Danish West Indies to the United States. The for eign minister Dr. Deuntzer, made a strong pro-Sala speech, governing the various arguments of the opposition against the sale of the Islands. He caused a sensation l>y reading state ments from tlie United States official publications showing that Estrup, the leader of the opposition, offered to sell the islands to the United States in 1802 when Estrup was prime misister and minister of finance. Dr. Deuntzer also ridiculed the fear of the opposition that the United States Congress might refuse to appropriate $5,000,000 to purchase the islands and controverted the arguments advanced against the treaty because it did not confer citizenship and free trade on the islanders, pointing out that the Danish constitution does not extend to the is lands and that Denmark does not enjoy free trade, while, he added, a resent decision of th“ supreme court of the United States insured the islands im mediate free trade with the United States. Ex-Fromier Redtz Thott and the ministerialist leader, Madsen Nygdal, followed, praising the growth of the liberal institutions in the United States and declaring that the sale insured the prosperity of the islands. It is expected that a vote on the treaty will be taken, tomorrow. THE STEEL TRUST Wants $100,000,000 Working Capital No Change in Organization. Now York, April 22.—It has been defi nitely decided by the United States Steel Corporation to issue its circular giving details of the proposed bond combination, Saturday or Monday. In addition to tlu plan to retire $200. 000,000 of 7 per cent, preferred stock and issue $250,900,000 of 5 per cent, bonds, the circular will, it is expected, outline numerous improvements contemplated by the operating officials. It is under stood that fully $23,000,000 to $.10,000,000 f the corporation's new capital will be devoted modernizing the plants of the constituent companies. With the extra J.'O.oeO.OOO derived from the bond issue the Steel Corporation will have more than $100,000,000 working capital. It was said authoritatively, today, that there is no foundation for the re port that the United States Steel Cor poration proposes to change its char ter from a financial or holding com pany to nn operating or manufacturing concern. According to a high official l of the corporation this has never been j contemplated and no purpose would be I served by the obliteration of the vari ous underlying or subsidiary companies. i Dr. A. H. Chamberlain of Foxeroft, 1 who has been an inmate of the Eastern i Maine Insane hospital at Bangor for the 1 past few weeks, escaped from that insti tution. at 4 o’clock Monday morning, by i eluding one of the nursi a. He made hit way to old Town on foot where he was 1 recaptured later in the morning. He was taken bark to the hospital by an attend I ant, none the worse fOr the experience. 57TH CONGRESS Rollins, Utah, Opposes Philip pine Government Bill. House Quickly Kills Senate Amend ment to Omnibus Claims Bill. The Nava! Bill Calls for Six Large New War Vessels. Washington, April 22.—Formal dis cussion of the bill temporarily to pro vide a government for the Philippine islands was begun in the Senate, to day. Rawlins of Utah, the leading minority member of the Philippine committee, opened the debate. He de nounced the bill as an unwarranted imposition on the Filipinos, declaring that it would establish one of the foul est oligarchies in the history of the world. He maintained that the Philip pine commission was given too great power by the bill and asserted that under its provisions the islands would be exploited for private gain. While he was speaking two efforts were made to maintain a quorum, rhe second resulting in a lively tilt among several senators, Scott, W. Va., inti mating that argument could not in fluence any senator. During the consideration of routine business, Hoar, Mass., presented a res olution providing- for an adjournment of tho Senate from Thursday, May 1. to Monday, May 5, the object being to afford a time for a spring cleaning of the Senate chamber. The resolution went over under the rules. The Senate then proceeded to the consult ration of a bill providing for a union railroad station in this city. Patterson, Colo., made an attack upon the measure on the ground, as he said, that it was a gift of a great amount of money to railroad corpora tions. Patterson charged that the bill created a monopoly. Gallinger, N. H., a member of the District of Columbia committee, point ed out that the great bulk of the money t be paid by the United States and District of Columbia was to be expend ed for street railway crossings. A bill providing for the entry into this country free of duty of a replica of a bronze statue of Kochambeau to be erected in Washington was passed. Without action upon the union sta tion bill, the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the Philippine govern ment bill. Rawlins, Utah, the leading member of the minority on the Philip pine committee, addressed the Senate in opposition to the measure. “We seem to have arrived at that point in our history," said he, “where there are those who affect to believe that it is sedition to think and treason to talk. 'For God's sake let us keep silent until the war is over,’ exclaims a peripatetic hero anil graduate from the Philippines, who wants to make free speech treason and to cart us away to the gallows, although he might give the senator from Massachusetts the ben efit of clergy on account of his sym pathy for a 'superheated conscience.’ All. if we are to believe him, with the approval of the President of the United States. "Congress no longer has to declare war. An Otis or a Chaffee are prepared to attend to this any day in the week. “A few days ago a message came to us that Malvar, the last of the insurrec tors, had surrendered. The next day it was announced that Gen. Chaffee had declared a new war and had dispatched an army to wage it against 2,000,000 of people in the island of Mindanao. "There tire 10,000,000 of suffering people across the water, silent, un heard, but whose very souls cry out against wrongs cruel, unspeakable, be yond the ken of mortal language to describe. There are now more than 70,000,000 on this side of the water wanting to know the truth, heretofore stifled and suppressed. "This bill strikes its roots into and drives its support from that excres cence upon the army appropriation bill of 1301, known ns the Spooner amend ment. The qualifications of the ab solute power therein conferred, adopted at the instance of the senator from Massachusetts, by this bill is eliminat ed. All property rights in the Islands and the fate of their inhabitants are turned over to the control and dispo sition of the commission, without any qualification of importance. “The commission may declare war and make peace; raise armies and pro vide navies; regulate commerce with all sorts of discriminations between islands and ports, levy taxes without limit and without uniformity. It may coin money and regulate the value thereof, and may establish religion and punish those who do not conform to its tenets. It may destroy free speech and punish as an act of sedition the publication of the truth in regard to their adminisl ration. It can establish an inquisition, devise and apply meth ods of excrutiating torture, compelling persons to be witnesses against them selves and disclose information which the commission may desire to extort. “It is useless to say that this power will not be abused. Attention will be invited to some instances in the his tory of our relations at the islands showing the extent to which our rep resentatives have gone In acts of perfidy, injustice, oppression and cruelty.” During Rawlins’ speech two efforts were made to maintain a quorum. Flna.ly Money (Miss.) moved that the Senate ad journ, only five Republican senators be ing present when the motion was made. The vote on the motion was 12 to 23, less than a quorum. The roll then was called and a quorum secured. Money. in withdrawing his motion, sa*d he had no disposition to delav considera tion of the measure, but he believed the (Continued on page 2.) A TOTAL LOSS. Stubborn Fire on Cony Street Early This Morning. The Historic Cony Female Academy Building Totally Destroyed. Other Property in Danger but Saved by Hard Work. Not since th< lire in the Opera house block on July a, 1S9G, has Augusta been visited with so stubborn a fire as that which broke out in the old Acadamy building on Cony street at an early hour this morning. It was just 2.09 when the alarm from box 3N was rung in by Officer Chadwick, who discovered the blaze. For several minutes pre vious to ringing in the alarm he had smelled something burning, but thought it came from the pulp mill. Then he saw the glare of the fire and quickly acted. Soon the* Atlantic and Cushnoc Hope Company were on the scene and hose was unlimbered and a couple of streams of water were turned against the burning building. Somehow or other the water seemed to have no ef fect upon the' flames and the Are ap peared to be getting the best of the firemen. At 2.20 a second alarm was rung in and the other hose companies promptly responded. Five streams of water were then poured upon the building, now completely enwrapped in (lames, but unfortunately a broken hy drant at the corner of Bowman anil Cony street delayed matters for a time. In the meantime the fire burned on. sending up sheets of flames and burn ing cinders flew around in profuse quantities. The building was dry as tinder and the fire got in its work in a rip-roaring style that for a little while threatened to terminate in a sweeping conflagration. The surrounding build ings were of wood and in close prox imity to the burning structure. All the buildings nearby were wet down, the firemen believing it the part of wisdom to do all in their power to save the property round about, as it had become apparent that no power could prevent the utter destruction of the old acad emy. It was doomed. Such proved to be the case. The building is now a thing of the past. While it was burning the small black smith shop, just south on Bowman street, owned by Delano Shaw, caught on fire but It was put out with little damage. The building was owned by Hon. Len dall Titcomb. Mrs. H. M. Harlow, G. Ar thur Harlow and Mrs. O. S. C. Davies Mayor Titcomb was seen and said that the value of the building was $1600. It was occupied by Savage Brothers, who carried on a wood-working establish ment, and by J. I. Plummer, harness maker, on the ground floor. Upstairs Ricker and Glazier, painters, had quar ters. The old building was a historic struc ture. It was the first church erected by the Unitarian Society of Augusta, and was dedicated on the ISth of Octo ber, 1S27. In 1S3R the Unitarians sold the church to the Roman Catholic So ciety and in 1S45 it was sold to Cony Female Academy. It was moved to its present location several years ago. At this hour it Is impossible to learn the total loss or the insurance held by the owners and occupants. In all probability, however, the total loss will will reach $3000. Had there been a brisk wind blowing the. Old Fort plaza. Cony and Willow streets would have been swept. As it was. It required extra efforts on the part of the firemen to save the wooden build ings In the vicinity. Rate advices arc to the effect that Sav age Brothers had an Insurance on their stock In trade, but the amount could not be learned. The other occupants, Ricker, (Continued on page 3.)

April 22.—Two engagements have been fought between the Ameri can troops and the Moros of the island of Mindanao during the last 24 hours. Moore of the 27th Infantry, who was out with a small party hunting for water, was fired upon at long range. Lieut. Col. Frank I).

THE WOOLEN STRIKE. (Continued from page 1.) The agents of the strikers are at work among the operatives in the mills of the combine now In operation ami they 1 express the belief that if necessary to the success of their undertaking moie looms will be stopped. The strike of i the weavers in the Washington mills. Lawrence, today, they say, will have a material effect on the outcome in that the production of the mills is thereby materially lessened. At the Ant hoi mills. Pascoag, only three weavers are at work out of 175, and it is expected that both mills, employing 300 opera tives. will soon be forced to suspend op erations. From all strike centers in Massachusetts, Ithode Island and Con necticut reports come to headquarters that the men are convinced of the jus tice of their demands and have pledged themselves to remain ilrm. Many of the independent mills are running day and night so that a large proportion of the strikers are employed, thereby reducing the strain on the finances of the union to the minimum. ALL STAID OUT. Washington Mill Weavers at Lawrence Fulfil Their Threats. Lawrence, Mass., April 22.—The at tempt to get the Washington mill weavers to strike has apparently suc ceeded at last. Practically all of the weavers in the mill stayed out, Tues day morning, only 50 of the S00 weav ers reporting for work, it is said. This move is the direct result of the refusal of the mill management to grant the request of the German weav an advance of 20 per cent, and the abolition of the preinVuin system. Sympathy with the ohjeyvllle and Providence strikers also Jjitluenced the weavers. The ^strikers ^jield a mass meeting in Music hall, Tuesday morn ing, at which plans for the future were discussed. The meeting was an en thusiastic one. It is probable that all the weavers will now demand a 20 per cent. In crease. The Washington mills form the larf cst establishment in the American Woolen Company and before the for mation of the combine were managed by Win. M. Wood,—the present treas urer of the American Company. They employ 5000 or more operatives and are the 11th plant to be seriously affected by the strike of the weavers. It is stated that next to the influences from Olneyville the women weavers have been the strongest factor in bringing about a partial suspension of work in the weave rooms. Retween 200 and 3*10 of the weavers are women. According to some of the foremost supporters of the stroke wages have been somewhat lower at Washington mills than at Olneyville, but in a meas ure this was offset by the premium system at least for weavers who are large producers. When a certain yardage is woven by a weaver in a month a premium of 5 per cent, of paid to the weaver. For a certain greater yardage a premium or 10 per cent, is paid. This system has not been satisfactory. Many of the weavers preferred to have higher scale without the premiums. Therefore the German weavers demands an In crease of 20 per cent, in the scale of wages and a discontinuance of the premiums. No Change at Webster, Mass. Webster, Mass., April 22.—The only change at the Chase mills, today, was the laying olT of a number of men who work by the day, for lack of material. The strikers believe that this action forecasts the early closing of the mill.

Physicians Say That There Was De cided Improvement Shown, Tuesday. The Hague, April 22.—After a consul tation. lasting three-quarters of an hour, between Prof. Uosensteln and the other physicians, the following pulletin was Issued, this afternoon: "There Is a slight Improvement In the Queen's condition, manifested by the fall In her temperature since morning. Her Majesty's consciousness Is main tained without Interruption. The Queen’s general condition is satisfac tory.” The news front Castle Loo leads to the impression that a favorable turn has occurred In the Queen's illness which renders It possible that the af fairs of state will soon resume their normal course. The rumors of the In tention of the government to take steps looking to the establishment of a re gency will, therefore, probably not ma terialize. Queen Wilhelmina signed a decree relating to the election of a member of the first chamber of Parliament. The cabinet was reluctant to trouble Her Majesty in the matter, hut ns the election day Is close at hand and the case was urgent the Queen’s physician allowed her to sign the document London.

I er Order, Republican State Committee F..M. SIMPSON, Chatrn an. BYRON BOYD, Secretary. Baa«or, April 10, 1902. Fortunate Porto Rico. C. B. Hamilton, a former resident of Jamaica, who has been a Porto Rico newspaper man for several years, writes a letter in which he makes the bold prophecy that the practical re semblance of real liberty exemplified by American colonial administration in Porto Rico will have the effect, sooner or later, of drawing all the other West Indian islands under the protecting aims of Uncle Sam. He says that after passing through many chang ing scenes Porto Rico is now the most prosperous country in the West Indies, with the brightest of futures before it, and is to its fellow islands a most al luring example of the blessings of liberty and fair treatment. England owns many little islands in those waters and they have paid a stagger ing price for what civilization they have acquired. Denmark lias made an absolute failure of governing its three islands and their inhabitants have had only a semblance of liberty. The French islands are ruled by a military gov rnor. The inland colonies of al! these nations are heavily taxed to pay the huge salaries of their governors. There have never been efforts to as sist them by providing trade relations as have been made by the United States for the benefit of Porto Rico. Re fore Porto Rico was taken under our flag and favorable trade relations established in 1001, Mr. Hamilton says that there was the greatest depression in the history of the island. Today, every man who desires to work, has enough to do. Tlie tobacco industry, still in its infancy, employs thousands of men and women, and each suc ceeding day sees the production of tobacco and the making of cigars, swell to r.n enormous proportion. In fact it is the business which can well be said to be booming in Porto Rico. The crop last year was 30,000 c-wt.. and it is estimated that the crop this year w ill roach 32,000 cwt. Last year’s crop sold from $5 to $G per cwt.; this year it readily fetelies from $10 to $20 per cwt. and probably will reach as high ns $25 per cwt. The estimated crop for 1903 is 90,000 cwt., and, in the opinion of competent judges the prices will be far better than those obtained this year. The exportation of elab orated tobacco has increased to 8,000. 000 cigars a month and shipped to the United States. When the American flag was raised in Porto Rico, hundreds of distressed West Indians came to that island for succor. They found employment. They see the country, with electric speed, rise from poverty to wealth: and witlial. not deprived of the highest benefits of education, liberty and free dom. The people of Jamaica who thought their mother country was the greatest in the world, see the hand of destiny pointing to the United States is the deliverer of mankind in the West Indies. Is it any wonder, thereforV, that the people of the Danish islands rejoice at every move, the trend of which is to close a bargain whereby the flag of progress will float over their country? New Hampshire has taken hold of the abandoned farm problem in a most praetieal manner. N. J. Baehelder, the secretary of the State Hoard of Agri culture and the master of the State Orange, has just issued a very artistic and attractive booklet of 70 pages, with 150 half tones, showing the attractions of the state as a place for summer homes. Many of its aban doned farms are already occupied as summer homes by rich people from the great cities, and there are advantages and opportunities for many more. Properly circulated, such a book is certain to bring prompt and definite results. Its publication is a splendid idea well executed. In Maine also there is a chance for missionary work of this kind and New Hampshire has set a good example for us in this as it did in the Old Home week movement. Nobody can defend the “water cure" and the investigations of the cases where it is said to have been permitted in the Philippines should he vigorous and searching. Those who are re sponsible should be sternly punished. But the investigation is bringing out two sides, and showing the world that our soldiers have had to contend with a savage race perfectly fiendish in its barbarity. If there has been American severity in isolated cases it has been prompted by Malay hcllishness which invented tortures for their captives beside which the “water cure’’ was a luxury. This docs not excuse any case of American cruelty but It explains much. The “anti-imperialists" who have sided with those Tagal bandits and aided them are more odious than ever. It was a sensible and commendabl. decision of the Philippine committee not to give Edward Atkinson of Ibis ton tile hearing he begged for. He knows nothing of the Philippines, and simply desired an opportunity to dis play his prejudice and use his epithets in \Y ashington where he would have the whole country for an audience. It is a mania on the part of Mr. Atkinson to side with the enemies of his country, and the country is not anxious to hear from him again. Boston’s Latest Comedy. Nobody is safe in venturing a pre diction as to what fad Boston will next take up. It is capable to going to an unheard of extreme in any direction when a few of its cranks get their heads together. Last Sunday, for some reason, nobody seems to know just what, the police department issued an order for the strict enforcement of the old blue law which forbids the sale of candy, fruit, soda water, etc., on Sunday. A few defied the order but in mo3t parts of the city it was obeyed and the druggists refused to do busi ness at their soda fountains, and the confectionery dealers denied would-be purchasers of candy. They even re fused to sell gum, and anybody who knows Boston will realize just what this means. It was a most absurd situation from any point of view, for while the sale of harmless temperance drinks was forbidden, the bartenders were freely dispensing intoxicating liquors of all kinds. The druggists and others cheerfully made the most of what was an expensive experience for them by draping their soda fountains and confectionery counters in black, and by displaying cartoons and placards which ridiculed the law. One man got a drink of soda by securing and presenting a physician’s prescrip tion calling for it, but that was too ex pensive a method to become popular with the thirsty. The order did not include ice water, but that may be add ed to the list of forbidden articles, next Sunday. Perhaps the Sunday papers will also be put on the blacklist along with other forbidden refreshments. And why not also forbid the milkmen to deliver milk, and the baker his Sun day morning supply of beans and brown bread? It may be said that these are the prime necessities of life in Boston, but so are fruit and fountain drinks on a summer Sunday. There is an old blue law which forbids riding lor pleasure on Sunday, why not resur rect this and enforce it? But what ever Boston does to make itself ridi culous, nobody in that city need go thirsty on Sunday, for any hotel will serve to all who apply, all the whiskey and beer that is wanted. The Republican state administration of New York may well feel satisfied with the fact that the direct tax is now the lowest in the history of the state and there is a surplus of about $4,000,000 in the treasury. The Land of Long Ago. There's a dear old home In the Far Away, A soft, snug rest, where the children play, A realm of rest tvnere the old folks stay, In the Land of Long Ago. There's a dear old nome where the roses twine, And the fruit hangs ripe on the tree and vine; Where the Fates were good to me and mine. in the Land of Long Ago. Oh, never a map shall point that place; Nor ever the drift of time erase, I!ut the hungering heart the lines shall trace Of the Land of Long Ago. And ever the tide of my life's' swift stream Rolls hack to the bay of a blissful dream. And 1 live and laugh In the glint and gleam Of the Land of Long Ago. On the north and south are joy and rest Of a sister's smile and a mother’s breast; And a father's love to the east and west Ol' the Land of Ia>ng Ago. We shall all come back from the desert "sigh,” We shall all come home to the Soul's "Reply,’’ We shell all return in the “By and By," To the Land of the Long Ago. —Nixon Waterman in Montreal Herald. It is again demonstrated that even the man who can swim is not safe in a canoe. With the weather man playing such pranks all over the land, a little more sleighing is not out of the possibilities of this remarkable spring in Maine. Now that the baseball season is really on, the Portland fans are feeling very lonesome without any team to cheer on and a championship to fight for. With salmon at $1.25 per pound a Bangor man recalls the days when they used them for fertilizer, and hoarding mistresses had to hold up both hands and promise not to have salmon more than three times per week.

Bangor is the city which saved and gives best support to the Maine Musical festival, you know. The leading lady, or one of her, in Florodora droped three $100 bills on the street in Bangor, Monday afternoon. Actors and actresses seldom carry smaller change than that, anyway. A poor but honest candy vendor discov ered the loss, restored the money and received $10 to say nothing of a smile which was worth much more. Thus honesty had its reward and the actress her advertising. A seal eight feet long and weighing 420 pounds was shot in Passama quoddy bay, this week. This must have been the king of them all. Four millions of the new McKinley postal cards each day is the output of the Rum ford Falls plant. Since December ISth Portland has had 46 cases of smallpox and Monday the last llag was taken down and with the exception of the cases now in the pest house there are no cases in town. Of the 16 cases only six have died. Forty of these cases were smallpox and six were varioloid. Considering the most unfortunate outbreak of the disease in Dr. Sylvester's house on Brown street where many people were exposed to the disease, Portland has been ex tremely fortunate and has reason to feel gratified to her health officers who have been vigilant and have neglected no precautions. Dr. Dyson, the city physician, who has handled all these cases is receiving the compliments which are due him for the painstaking way in which he has performed his duties. There may be another case or two yet in the city but all danger of contagion is believed to be past. The difference between a sanitarium and a sanatorium is—say, you finish it! —Boston Globe. Dead easy. Just look in the diction ary. The first is a place, a locality or resort, where people go to regain health; the second is an institution or a building designed for the care of in valids. This is the distinction that the leading medical authorities in this country and abroad now make in these two words, though the general public cheerfully insists on using them inter changeably.—Kennebec Journal. From these definitions it would seem that the whole State of Maine is a sanitarium in a sense. Where is there to be found a more health-giving re sort during the summer solstice? Now let Maine have the sanatorium called for by the State Board of Health and the leading medical authorities of Maine, and it will be fully equipped in this direction.—Portland Argus. Writing on church suppers, which arc evidently more numerous down his way than in this section, Ray Thompson, the editor of the Westbrook Gazette, says: "At present the general system of feeding has assumed such propor tions that In most churches the cook stove has come to be almost as indis pensable as the pulpit, while the work of preparing public feasts and enter tainments is carried on to an extent which in many cases interferes seri ously with the more important labors of the church.” Some Lubec scoffer now arises to re mark that the great ambergris find will not prove as valuable as has been ad vertised in the papers, and that many believe it will prove utterly worthless. But that is probably all envy, and we hope the two fishermen will get their $15,000 each. Few people know that President Hyde of Bowdoin College, one of the recognized leaders of the educational world, once worked in a cotton mill and rose to the position of second hand in the eardroom. In a copyrighted arti cle in the Chicago Record-Herald there is told the story of the early life of some of our leading Americans, and in his own words President Hyde thus tells the story of his boyhood: At the age of 13, after two years in the high school, in which I fear I had been more distinguished for mischief than for scholarship. I had left school, and was in a cotton mill doing a man's work and receiving a man's wages, a dollar and ten cents a day. I was the only American native except the over seer in the little cotton mill, which was a part of the Hamilton Woolen Com pany's large plant. The overseer was a man of little education. The fact that I could figure out certain problems in speed which he could solve only by rule of thum impressed him ns some thing marvelous. I was doing nothing more than any high school boy who had studied natural philosophy could have done, yet the credit which belong to my teacher and my text-book in his es timation belonged wholly to me. Be fore 1 was 14 he had offered me the po sition of second hand in the eardroom at a dollar and seventy-five cents a day. This was the highest position next to his own in the little mill, and command ed the largest wages. My friends at home, however, in allowing me to leave school and go into the mill, had in mind merely getting the mischief worked out of me in the hope that after six months of hard work I would go back to my books in good earnest. The minister of the village church was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy, and he told me I ought to go there. This was the most momentous turning point of my life. The overseer entreat ed me that I was getting at 13 what lie had to work until he was 30 to get. The agent of the company was a pehsona 1 friend, and I was sure of just as rapid promotion as I could show myself fit to receive. The young fellows whom I knew were ail eager to get into busi ness, and advised me to stick to the fine chance I had in the mill. Now, being a college president is not in itself more desirable than being agent of a mill. It is tall a question of adaptation and personal fitness. I was not really adapted to factory life. I probably never should have been an agent; and if I had succeeded in be coming one I should probably have failed. I had no natural aptitude for that kind of work. The reasons for go ing into it. and staying in it, were all accidental. Deep down in my heart I felt, without knowing just why, that a scholarly life was the one I should

Whatever I might do in the years to come was suspended in the balance of the mind of the 13-year-old boy, who talked with a self-satisfied factory boss at intervals all through the day, and in the evenings with one or two more ambitious women friends, and then thought it over by himself after going to bed. Neither father nor mother were living, and the decision rested entirely with myself. I finally followed my own inner impulse—I went to Phillips Bxeter Academy, and I have been glad ever since that I did.” LIGHT AND AIRY.

“ANGLO-MANIACS”. John Hays Hammond Warns British Against Them. Tells Why Our Sympathy Is Mostly With the Boers. Former Boer Prisoner Creates Sensa tion by Speech at London. London, April 22.—“I must advice you not to pay too much attention to the extravagant expressions of friendship of a certain well-meaning but dis credited class called, in America, “Anglo-Maniacs.” That was the keynote of a speech made by John Hays Hammond, the American engineer, tonight, before a notable gathering, including Lord Grey and others interested in Anglo-Ameri can and South African matters, at a dinner given in honor of Mr. Ham mond's return to Kngland. With pun gent sentences Mr. Hammond explain ed to his English audience the depth of and reason for American sympathy with the lioers and, as “a candid thought a genuine friend of Anglo Saxon friendship,” he impressed his hearers with Great Hritain’s total lack of effort to counteract the pro-Boer sentiment in the United Stabs. With equal frankness Mr. Hammond urged that Great Britain be generous in her demands. “Your American friends,” he declar ed, “moSt earnestly hox>e that in a ar ranging terms of peace, wise liberality will be shown to the Boers.” Such a statement coming from one who, in the same speech referred to his imprisonment at Pretoria on account of his anti-Boer tendencies, produced a rather striking effect. The Ameri can Anglophobes came in for equal criticism with the Anglo-manaics” in Mr. Hammond's remarks. ‘‘Both of these classes,” said Mr. Hammond, “are the flotsam and jet sam of the American population. The citizens who compose the important body of our population are the expon ents of Americanism in its highest form. They are the true Americans whether of British, German or what ever ancestry. It is a trite but never theless an almost irresistible argu ment, that our nations should stand to gether because blood is thicker than water. In default of other reasons this sentiment, on many memorable oc casions, has prevailed and saved the day. "But we must be prepared hence forward, to urge our claims for con joint action respecting important inter national issues upon not a racial but a moral lrasis; namely, that ours is a just one. For I believe that to both nations justice is the corner stone of their international structure.” To this conservative and unbiased section of the American community Mr. Hammond averred that “England has not condescended to explain.” To this lack of ronrtesrenslnn Mr. Hammond atfj-ibuted the “general pro-Bore senti moht” which he found upon his return to the United States ir 1900. The spanker pointed out that American im pressions of the Boer war were derived fropi the political emissaries of the Bo4rs and the writings and speeches of the British prO-Boers, under which circumstances, he said, .it was not sur prising that the “corrupt Tfansvaal oligarchy masquerading under the name of ‘Little sister republic’ had se seoured the aid and sympathy of America. However much we English and Americans differ from the Boers politically, we are compelled to admire the plucky fight made by the unfortu nate and deluded Boers now under arms.” Elaborating upon his argument in fa vor of securing generous peace terms in South Africa. Mr. Hammond unfavor ably compared Mr. Kruger’s attitude with Gen. Lee’s "Christian and patriotic ac tion.” But he warned his hearers to learn a lesson from another chapter of the American Civil War by avoiding the mistake of the American statesmen who endeavored to govern the Southern states by Northern offleeholders. as a result or which many years elapsed before the harm done by the carpetbagger was re paired. Ambng those present at the dinner were the Marquis of Graham, tho Karl ol Klntore, the Earl of Jersey and the Earl of Dudley and the Earl of Hardwicke Lords Windsor and Harris and Rear Ad ntlral Lord Charles Rcresford. RIVAL STEAMER TRUST Is Already Talked in London to Fight Morgan Combine. London. April 22.—The Westminister Gazette, this afternoon, says it hears there is a suggestion for the forma tion of a new shipping combine, with the Cunard Line as a nucleus to tight the Morgan combination. Thus far, however, the paper adds, the matter hardly appears to have got beyond the realm of talk. It is said, in some quarters, accord ing to the Westminister Gazette, that tentative pour parlours in this direc tion have actually been opened, but the paper's informant considered that It was more likely to end in the absorp tion of the companies concerned by the Morgan concern, than in the form ation of an antagonistic organization.

WHY IT IS SO. The Change of Season and Why It Is Dangerous. AH disease is due to a run-down con dition of the body, unhealthy tissue, blood poisoned with impurities, and genera I weakness. While we recommend Father John's Medic ine for a number of ailments—in the cure of which it has always been successful, as those who endorse it tell you—you must understand and re member that all these ills are of the same kindred or family; that they all come from the same source or cause. The- principle of this medicine is simple. It furnishes the food that the body requires, and strengthens each organ so that it can do its work—that is how the system is cleared of the im purities and poisonous waste matter! and it supplies bodily warmth and vitality. Its ingredients are the same kind of food and nourishment that blood and tcsue are made of—pure and whole some. That is how it builds tissue, builds up the body, and makes strength— prevents disease, cures disease, and restores the strength lost through disease. It is the best spring tonic ever pro scribed.

Although the news comes from New York that the prices of butter and eggs have advanced very materially the past v.*ick or 10 days in that city, the prices of these commodities in this city have not been raised. Butter retails for 30 cents a pound for prime quality and 35 pgnts.per pound for domestic dairy. Eggs ore retailing for 18 and 20 cents a dozen and farmers are getting 15 and 10 ceilts for them. "The trust can't corner eggs this time of year," said a dealer,, yesterday, “by putting them in cold storage. The hens arc too indus trious just about this time to wan ant any attempt at cornering the iiauket. The same may be said of butter. In a month or so. the cows will be out at pasture anil butter will then he plenty enough to supply the markets and more, too. at a reasonable price. I don't think these two articles will be cornered this year.” Few cities of its size in the country possesses so many stores with plate glass windows as Augusta. It is a re markable fact that on Water street there are just 116 stores having win dows of plate glass. On the east side of the street from the Purinton block to (he factory hoarding house 67 stores revel in the luxury of plate glass; while on the west side from Augusta Reef Go's establishment tt> the rail read bridge there ate 49 stores thus lit ted. on the east side yf the street from tlie lower end to the City hotel there are only three stores haftng or dinary glass in their windows.. On the other side of the street, between the Opera House and the Kinsman drug store only one store has the common windows, if the two fruit stones, one In the Opera House block and one under the Gony House, are excepted, because plate glass cannot be used to Bo good advantage in opening and losing the windows of these fruit stores as can windows of common glass. And again it may he noted that before the fruit men took these stores the windows were of plate. All of the 116 stores enumerated have two windows, and some of them more, notably Sherburne Dailey’s, which has five. It is safe to assume, therefore, that several thousands of dollars are invested in plate glass in this city, at least $15,000 and possibly $29,000. If there is another place in Maine that can show such a record as this it is not known to any one in Augusta. Neglect Means Danger. Don't neglect billousnt -ss and constipa tion.

And yet it was what many are delay ing to do, simply because they cannot make up their minds to do it, in spite of the fact that pimples are pimples and kidney complaint is kidney com plaint, and what has cured these things in one person can be reasonably ex pected to cure them in another. He took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which has an unequalled record of perma nent cures of pimples and kidney com plaint, as well as of all other cutaneous eruptions, all scrofulous diseases, ca tarrh, dyspepsia, rheumatism and general debility. Hood’s Sarsaparilla acts directly and peculiarly on the blood, and by making it pure, rich and abundant, strengthens the stomach, liver and kidneys, per fects digestion, secretion and excretion, clears the complexion, increases the weight, and builds up the whole system. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, being an'excel lent remedy, is one for which substi tutes are sometimes offered. They do not act like Hood’s, and it is expensive, in view of the result, to experiment with them. Hood's Sarsaparilla is obtainable of ill druggists. The defect in the street in front of the Vickery block has been repaired. The pavement lias been inlaid in a substantial manner. Percy V.

Two young men, well known in rail road circles, visited Waterville, Sunday, and in order to get back to their duties early Monday morning, took passage on a freight. It seems that good time was made until arrival at Granite Sid ing. It was necessary at this place to make repairs to a misbehaving draw bar, so that the ‘-knights of the key” on learning as to the probable delay which would ensue, decided to "hit the ties.” The walking was good until within a few miles of Augusta, when they were aroused by the warning sig nal of the fast freight, which sped by like a cyclone! Second street residents report a had break in the fence on the southerly ap proach to the Second street bridge over the Maine Central tracks. The fence is ntirely mi-sing for some distance* and the sidewalk t ikes a decided slope so that pedestrians need to take care and not take many missteps at the risk of a fall over the* embankment. Two ac cidents have occurred in that im mediate vicinity within a few months, but fortunately neither has resulted in severe injuries to the persons con cerned. Not long ago a lineman of the New England Telephone Co. had the misfortune to fall from a pole upon which he was adjusting wires, and it sci ms, descended with so much force that two rails of a heavy embankment fence were broken 1 i k toothpicks, it is safe to say that the unfortunate line man noticed the fail somewhat, hut no bouts were broken and work was re sumed after a short rest. HALLOWELL POST OFFICE. Nev/ Quarters in K. of P. Building Will Be Ready by May 15. The Hallowell post office will, after May 15, be located in the Knights of Pythias building, corner of Winthrop and Water streets. All of the plans and arrangements including the signing of the various otRcial documents have been consummated and the contractor who has been given charge of the work incidental to the remodelling of the new quarters has already commenced work. The building which was purchased and entirely remedied by Granite Lodge, Knights of Pyhias, is a sub stantial one. of brick, and three stories in height. The ground iloor has been vacant since the changes to’the build ing while the lodge rooms of the order have been located in the other portions of the building. The floor area is of adequate dimensions, having a front age of 43 feet on Water street and 27 feet on the Winthrop street side. There will be two entrances, the present one one on Winthrop street, with large windows of plate glass on either side and a more spacious entrance at the southerly corner on Water street. The partition between the lobby and office proper will be similar to the present arrangement in the old office, but all o' the fittings will be new and modern, and the lock boxes of the Yale patern. At the left as you enter the lobby will he an entrance to the rural mail car riers’ mom. while the entrance at the light will lead to the money order of fice and the private office of the iiost mastar. The large plate glass windows at the south corner of the building will be moved north to the portion occupied by the money order office. At the rear of the building will be toilet rooms and a fire-proof vault. The finish of the office including the wainscotting will be of hard pine. There will lie windows for the general delivery also for the sale of stamps. It may be said that the appointments cf the new office will be modern in every respect and that the needs of the grow ing business will be handsomely met. The contract for the work, now un der way has been let to L. E. Brad street and the transfer will be made as soon as possible after May 15. The lease is for a period of 10 years. Post master Jewell is to be congratulated on the forward step, which will be a de cided mark of municipal improvement, and apparently a change for the public good. Incidental to the femoval of the post office from Its present location, which at least to the younger genera tion has become a veritable land mark from early memory, it may not be out of place to refer to the former loca tions. An old resident recalls the time when postal business was transacted in the building now occupied by A. E. Morse Son. In the 50's and early GO’S the south half of the Hallowell house where is now located the billiard room was utilized. At that time ice cream parlors were located in the central store and the Northern National Rank ifi the north store, corner of Winthrop and Second streets. For, some years later the office was located on Water street in the vacant store south of the rnilinery store conducted by Miss M. E. Coughlin, hut was later removed to the rooms vacated by the Northern Rank which went to its present loca tion.

Till liability of a surety upon a pro bate bolt'i is only contingent upon the failure of his principal to pay the amount with which he may staml hutg 1. i lie study is not a party so directly interested that he can be con sidered as -aggrieved” by a decree of the court respecting the settlement of his principal's at ount. It has accord ingly been repeatedly held by this cotiit that a surety upon sueit a bond has no right of appeal from a decree o! a judge of probate allowing or dis allowing the account tiled by the prin cipal on the bond, or by the principal's ,l >1 representative. The sureties are fully an I effectually tepresented in the i roba 1 court by their principal, or his representatlve. In signing the bond they in effect stipulate that their prin cipal shall abide and perform the de cree of the court upon all questions be tween him and the estate within the courts juristic tion. They do not stip uiute l'or any opportunity to object to any proceedings. They intrust the rep resentation of their principal's .rights and interests to the principal himself. These propositions are necessarily decisive of the principal question pre sented by the petition now before the court. I ait it is a satisfaction to ob serve that a careful examination of the agri d statement of facts in the light of all the circumstances and of the well known principals of law and equity ap plicable to the investment of trust tunds, fails to disclose tiny error in the decree of tlie supreme court of probate disallowing the item of the Titeomb mortgage in controversy. Petition dismissed with one bill of costs for respondents. I'cnnell, vs. Card et als. Rescript by \Vhitehouse, J. The person 1 statement of one of the county commissioners that the “board supposed they were assessing full dam ages for crossing the land described in the petition,’ is manifestly inadmissi ble in form and incompetent in sub stance and cannot be received as evi dence to control or modify the record of their judgment. Nor does the repre sentation contained in the plaintiff’s petition, that he was the owner of the land therein described, have any nec essary tendency to show that the com missioners awarded full damages to him its sole owner of the lot. Whether or not the petitioner is the owner of the land desetibed, and the extent of his ownership, are questions of fact to be determined by the commissioners. Title to the land constitutes the found ation of the claim for damages. The written application was signed by the plaintiff, Enoch l\ Pennell. It was not signed by Abide K. Pennell. The case fails to show that she ever made any written application to have her damages assessed, and therefore fails to show that the counly commis sioners had any jurisdiction or authori ty to estimate any damages she may have sustained. In the record of their judgment upon the petition of Enoch K. Pennell, the commissioners "adjudge and determine that the aforesaid pe titioner is entitled to damages in the sum of $332.” There is no legal evi dence in the case that they awarded damages on account of any interest in the land owned by Abhie F. Pennell. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, they will be presumed, in any collateral inquiry, to have discharged the duty imposed upon them by law to determine the fundamental question of ownership. The other obstacles interposed by the defendants to the maintenance of this action are effectually removed l»y the opinion of the court in Hunt v. Card et als.. 31 Me. 38B. As the damages awarded exceed the penalty of the bond, the plaintiff is en titled to recover the amount of jhe penalty with interest thereon as dama- 1 Res for the detention from the date of the breach of the bond. Judgment for the plaintiff for the amount of the penalty, as debt, with I interest thereon, as damages, from May j 27. 1^98. Execution to issue for the entire sum. I GOSSIP OF THE GRANGES.

WASHINGTON’S SWORD. Moncure D. Conway Calls Attention to a Curious Incident. Mr. Moncure D. Conway, in discuss ing the historical question as to whether or not Frederick the Great ever presented a sword to Washington, writes to the New York Sun its fol lows: “Although the Washington sword at Albany had no connection with Fred erick the Great there is a notable epi sode of American history relating to it which I desire to note. The sword is one of the live swords bequeathed by Washington to his five nephews (with out particularizing about any, as he would naturally have done had either been the gift of Frederick the Great). This dress sword was chosen by ISush rod Washington, at his death passed to his brother Corbin, thus inherited by Coionel Lewis Washington, of Bel Air, near Harper's Ferry. Probably be cause of its ornamental character the old legend invested this sword, and ir. the absence of any inscription the family tradition was that the gift had been accompanied by a verbal message, ‘From the oldest General in the world to the greatest.’ "When John Brown was planning his invasion of Harper’s Ferry he sent a spy (Cook) there, who informed him that at Bel Air there was a sword sent by Frederick the Great to General Washington. When the raiders ar rived Brown was so anxious to get hold of that sword that lie sent six of his men off to Bel Air, four or five miles, to capture it. Colonel Lewis Washing ton, captured at the same time, said in his testimony that Brown said he wished to get hold of the sword ‘be cause it had been used by two success ful generals.’ ‘That sword he held in his hand during the whole of Monday.’ "By detaching six of his men to get that dress sword—-presumably never worn in any battlefield—John Brown wasted the greater part of the only day in which he and his men might have escaped. Seventeen lives were sacri ficed to a mere myth. The tremendous result of those ‘martyrdoms,’ due to John Brown's superstition, is one more illustration of the part played by fables in making history as well as recording it.

The social sensation of the hour in Paris is the announcement of the mar riage which is to take place between the widowed Prince Joseph Lubo mirski and the widowed Duchess Dccazes of Glucksberg. The bride groom is nearer 70 than 60, and the bride close upon threescore years of age, and each have been among the most conspicuous rnembei L of Parisian life for the last 3a or 40 years. Prince Lubomirski, whose family is one of the most ancient in Poland, one of his ancestresses having been that unfortu nate Princess Kosalie Lubomirski who was lady-in-waiting to Queen Marie Antoinette, and as such was guillo tined at Paris during the great Revo lution, was born in Paris, reared at St. Petersburg at the so-called “School of Imperial Pages,” and returned to Paris after the Crimean war, where he has remained ever since. During the palmy days of the empire he was a fa miliar figure at the Tuilerles, where ha often led the cotillon, but after the establishment of the republic he trans ferred his torpsichorean talents to the I iniin Mabille, the Klyseo Mont martre and to the Moulin Rouge, whi re his remarkable and fantastic skill ip dancing the can-can used to arouse the wildest enthusiasm of the visitors to those resorts. Known there by the encearing nickname of '‘Route d" Suif” (Tallow Dali), on at— ount of his embonpoint, he even com posed a "pas seul,” which was chris tened the “Pas do Goret” (Anglice, 'Pigs’ Step"). Iii society he is known to this day as "Lube,” and the announcement of his second matrimonial venture naturally serves to recall to mind his first mar riage to the elderly widow of AI. Iloyer, the well-known manufacturer of a patent medicine called "eau de melisse des Cannes Needless to add that he married her for her money, and that when the union took place he was, financially speaking, in the very last extremity. Indeed, on the wedding morn, just as the Prince was in the fiedfe-f dressing lor the ceremony which war to raise him from poverty to wealth, a huissier (ilepty sheriff) made his appearance unannounced, and pouncing upon the bridegroom’s festive gait), which was spread in stftt? upon tlie rickety sofa of the attic, stubborn ly refused to give it up until “Slon sieur ie Prince” had paid a little bill wliieh the stony-hearted official had tin' impudence to draw from his pocket and to present to His Highness. Unfortunately, there was no “shot in the locker,” and “Lubo” in great dis tress di. patched a messenger post haste to his bride-elect, entreating her to advance him the sum required for tie release of his wedding garments irom the hands or the sheriff. The widow, however, refused to make any further disbursements on behalf of her fiance, and had it not been for the commiseration which so sad a predica ment aroused in th>- bosom of his con i ierge (janitor). Prince Joseph Lubo mirski would have been forced to ap pear at the dtar in the ragged atid rusty looking frock coat which had been Ids faithful and inseparable companion for many a long year. As it was he marched into church two hours late, it Is true, bat resplendent in all the fin ny befitting so great a nobleman. i'ngrateful as his published reminis r en« s concerning the Court of Napoleon 111. show him to be, he ap pears to have retained a warm spot in ids ii art for the concierges, and never loses an opportunity of asserting that the “pipelets,” as the janitors are called at Paris, are a much abused and unjustly mist rutted fraternity. 1 The Prince's life after his marriage was not particularly happy. His elder ly wife, feeling secure of her title as a full-fledged and bona-fide princess, treated her aristocratic spouse with tic utmost severity and economy, re sit icting him to an allowance of SCOW a year, which under no circumstances was ever exceeded. Indeed, she often expressed her conviction that she had paid too ib-arly fot the honor of be coming a Princess I.ubnmirski, and on her death bequeathed to him only that share of her property to which he was entitled by law, leaving the rest to charity. 1 may add that, although of the most plebeian origin, she always insisted that sh- was of noble descent, adding to her maiden name of “Trousi 1" that of "Des Saussages," under the impression that it conveyed to people the idea that she wa^ of il lustrious ancestry. The widowed Duchess Decazos, whom “Lubo” is marrying, is a lady with Hebrew blood in her veins, her mother having been a Madame I-o0,000 in a night at Monty Carlo, he was dependent on his wife's income and loans and gifts front friends. He has been frequently arrested for drunk and disorderly con duct in London and for assault, and lia.s been a source of no end of trouble and mortification to his family. The new Far 1 Temple, through his succession to his father's peerage, ac quires a title which is valid and au thentic. The one which he has borne un til now, namely, that of Lord Langton was not only open to very serious ques tion, but had no raison d'etre. Accord ing to Knglish usage, sanctioned by the crown, the eldest sons of dukes, mar quesses and earls adopt during the life of their lather one of the lattc-r’s sec ondary and minor titles. Thus, the chhst son of the Duke of Richmond takes the title of the Earl of March, the eldest son of the Marquis of Salisbury that of Lord C’ranborne and the eldest son of the Earl of Rosebery that of Lord Dalmoney. These titles borne by the eldest sons of peers are merely ac corded to them by courtesy and by no law. In the eyes of the latter they are merely commoners, and whatever their names figure in the “Official Gazette." in any state paper or legal document, tin y are Invariably described as, for instance, “James Cecil, commonly called Viscount Cranborne.” The late Lord Temple had no minor title and only a single peerage—that is to say, his Temple earldom. So his eldest son’ without a shadow of right, prefixed the word “Lord to his family name and coolly styled himself “Lord Langton,” a dignity which has never existed and which was not accorded to him by those old-fashioned people who still ad here to the laws of tradition, precedent and etiquette. I.ord Temple's earldom comes to him in rather a peculiar manner. It was during the reign of King George IV. that the latter, wishing to confer a special mark of favor upon his pet crony and chum, the first Duke of Jducklingham. granted him the earldom of Temple, with the stipulation that it should be inherited in default of male issue by the Duke's favorite grand daughter, Lady Ann Grenville. Ledy Ann married a Mr. Gore Langton and died before her brother, the third and last Duke of Ruekingham. Conse quently on his demise her eldest son, Mr. Gore Langton, succeeded as his mother's heir to the earldom of Tem ple. Curiously enough, the now widowed Lady Temple is a sister of the widowed Duchess of lluckingham. The Into lord Temple inherited noth ing but the earldom at the time of the death of his uncle, the Duke of Buck ingham. For whatever the late Duke possessed in the shape of property, in cluding Stowe Palace, in Buckingham shire, passed to his eldest daughter, until then known as Dady Mary Gren ville, along with the barony of Kinloss. Lady Kinloss is, therefore a peerage in her own right—that is to say. a peeress of Scotland. She married Major Mor gan, who assumed her name of Gren ville, and who died two or three years ago, and on her demise her eldest son, now a boy of 17, will become Lord Kin loss and the master of Stowe Palace, which was occupied for so many years by the late Count of Paris. In fact, as Lord Kinloss, he will be the principal representative of that family of which the late Duke of Buckingham and Chandos was the chief. The dukedom of Buckingham and Chandos is otherwise extinct, which is. on the whole, fortunate, for it was dur ing the lifetime of the last Duke one of the most 'mpoverished of English peer ages. This was attributed to the in sane extravagance of the second Duke —that is to say, of the grandfather of Lady Kinloss and of the late Earl Ten pie. indeed the bankruptcy of this second Duke a year after the visit which Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort pa' 1 to him at Stowe, was one of the most sensational events of the tirst half the Victorian era.

Indiana labor unions have begun in itation against the chain-making wofu done in the State Reformatory ut sonville. The masons and bricklayers of f-i'I River, Mass., have postponed their pro’ posed strike and accepted eight hour after May 5. Three of the largest class cities in Con necticut now have labor mayors—Harc ford, Ansonit and Bridgeport—and aii are able orators. al! The Common Council of Rockville Conn., voted to make the working hours of city laborers nine hours instead of ten. as heretofore. “Bushelmen,” the journeyman tailors who do tlie alteration work in the of fices of the most fashionable Chicago tailors, have formed a union. The Brotherhood of Carpenters an l Joiners in Philadelphia is arranging fur a concerted move looking to an increase in wages and shorter hours. The San Francisco Labor Council has submitted to the Board of Supervisors an ordinance for the maintenance of fre open-air concerts. The lo per cent increase of 30,000 Rhode Island cotton operatives means only 5 per cent, DOcause the new 5S-hour law goes nto effect this week. Heretofore tin hours have i>revailed. At tli" York. Pa., rolling mill a raise of -5 cents a ton in puddlers’ wages will take effect April 13. This raise will make puddlers’ wages £1.25 a ton, the highest rate ever paid in the York mill. An effort is being made, backed by tli National Building Trades Council of America, to concentrate the energy and interest of all of the allied building trades and local unions of the country into one central organization. The 200 freight handlers in Providence R. I., employed by the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad have for warded a written request to the company that thi ir wages be increased 10 cents a •Jay to $1.95 and a r- ply is asked for with in two weeks. The State Board of Mediation and Arbi tration at St. Joseph, Mo., after hearing evidence for two days on the big car penters' strike, decided that the men should receive 33 cents an hour. They de manded 37 cents. Both sides are well satisfied with the result. All lines are laid tor a gigantic tie-up of the building boom in Cincinnati if an agreement is not arrived at by May l. Over 10,000 building laborers are to de mand shorter hours and more pay. Archi tectural and electrical workers have al ready issued their ultimatum. in a communication to the Federation National President Samuel Gomperj blamed the leaders of the Chicago Team sters' I'nion for his recent failure to get back into the ranks of the Team Drivers’ international I'nion the 13.000 Chicago teamsters who have seceded. Loaders on lumber boats on the Great Lakes are to ask for 00 cents an hour. The present rate is 50 cents an hour, and the rate has ruled at the head of the lakes with tin' exception of two seasons ago, when it was 00 cents an hour. Last year the rate went down to 50 cents an hour, without the union giving any trouble. The government of Germany appears as the purchaser of patent rigiits. covering all Europe except Great Britain and France, for an automatic switchboard manufactured in Chicago that will dis place a telephone system of 40,000 instru ments. Many operators will be forced to seek other employmt nt, as one person can keep an entire system in order. The call has been issued for the annual convention at Trinidad for the Colorado State Federation of Labor on June 9. President Harman terms Trinidad and South in Colorado the “hot-beds of the enemy's country, and says the delegates must spend their time combating the cor porations who are lighting unions and in organizing men in and around Trinidad. The bill introduced into the last Legis lature of Alabama to regulate the labor of children only reached the stage of pub lic hearings—which were largely atti nd ed. lint tiie agitation in favor of such legislation is gaining organized strength, and it is inevitable that factory legisla tion for the protection of children should ultimately be auopted in the South as it has. been elsewhere in the manufacturing world. E. L. Smyth, general president and chief organizer, and H. W. Stelnbiss. gen eral secretary, treasurer and founder of the National Building Trades Council, with headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., have already- spent three months in reorganiz ing the allied trades unions throughout the East, and expect to spend two weeks more. Combinations of unionists have been accomplished in Holyoke. Spring field, Brockton and Worcester, Mass.; Providence, It. L. and Hartford, Bridge port and Norwalk. The supreme court of Porto Rico has released Santiago ingicsias, president of the Federation of Workmen of Porto Rico, sentenced December 12 last, to three years, four months and eight days' im prisonment on the charge of conspiring to raise the price of labor in Porto Rico. In presenting the appeal counsel for Iglesius dwelt on the constitutional rights of people to assemble peaceably. The public prosecutor, to the surprise of tin court, sustained and strengthened the argument of the defense. He said the appeal was well taken, put in no evidence for the prosecution, and practically asked the court to dismiss the case. Judge Dempsey of Cincinnati granted a temporary injunction to the McDonald Printing Company to restrain their strik ing pressmen and. press feeders. He re fused, however, to grant the blanket in junction asked for, and greatly- limited its scope. He refused to enjoin picketing and refused a general injunction asked “against any and all unlawful acts." He said these would have to be specified, and that the acts must be such as to interfere with property rights. He further notified the attorneys that they must be ready to meet a motion to dissolve the injunc tion at tiny time, as he proposes to give the defendants a hearing within 24 hours of the time they ask for it.” Three amendments to-the charter of the Greater New York, just been discovered by the building trades unions, practically nullify, so far as New York City Is con cerned. all the agitation of the labor unions for the hist 10 years for restricting convict labor. The amendment to which the most objection is raised gives the commissioners of correction power to em ploy convicts on outside work, as well as in manufacturing articles for the use of the institutions controlled by him. Sec tion Tot. the second amendment objected to, provides that any commissioner in any department may apply for prison la bor to the commissioner of correction and employ it upon any public work without the formality of advertising for bids for supplies or contracts. Section 963, the third amendment, provides for the em ployment of pauper labor, principally In the department of charities, but says that the articles manufactured may be util ized as the commissioner may wish. THE MYSTERY OF RHODESIA. Wonderful Past of African Empire Founded by Cecil Rhodes, That Ithodesia has a great future be fore it is within everybody's knowledge, nut comparatively few people are aware that it has a wonderful past behind it. Yet such is the case, as evidenced by the existence of hundreds of ancient ruins and works of art in the country, which, not being of indigenous origin, bear traces of foreign—Sabaean Himyaritie and Phoenician—influences and workmanship. The principal Eng lish explorer of these old ruins, whose origin, notwithstanding the many eager discussions carried on by learned archaeologists, remains wrapped it. considerable mystery, was hitherto Mr. Theodore Bent, whose premature death at the age of forty-five was a serious loss to the cause of Afrlcarf anti quarian research. I Mr.' Bent's "Ruined Cities on Ma-* shoaaland"—it is a hlffh tribute to h!«f painstaking accuracy that the authors of the present volume (Messrs. Hall and Neal) on two occasions only And it necessary to correct, or rather, to modify, his statements, in which he gives an account of the remains at Zimbabwe—will always remain a text book on the subject. His conclusion Js that the ruins were the work of pre Mahommedan inhabitants of Southern Arabia. Messrs. Hall and Neal—the latter of whom has been carrying on investigations on the spot for the last five years—while embodying the in formation gained by their predecessor in the field, make important and valuable additions to our knowledge, as the result of elaborate examinations, many of the ruins described by them having been.brought to light for the lirst time through their unwearying labors. They modestly refrain from theorizing on the antiiiuities referred to, preferring to present the reader with a clear and readable account of the finds discovered, and to let him draw his own conclusions. An instance in point is the vexed question of the identification of the Solomonic Ophir (that there was one Ophir in Arabia is, of course, beyond all doubt). It seems clear that Ophir was a collective name for certain distant southern countries. Hut antiquarians, leaving out eccentric opinions, such as the idea of Josephus, who plants Ophir in the Moluccas, hat e generally located the auriferous region in India, or in Arabia, or on the east coast of Africa, in the vicinity of Sofala. Those who identity the old Ophir with Rhodesia, as, for example, Quatremere, urge in support of their conclusion the quantity and purity of the East African gold dust, the large supply of ivory, and the well-known fact that the Phoenicians, according to Herodotus, circumnavigated Africa at a very early date, and established a hundred settlements on the African west coast. Carl Mauch, who explored the ruins of Zimbabwe in 1871, and held the curious theory that the ruins had been built, under the direction of the Queen of Sheba, by Phoenician me chanics. in imitation of the Jewish tem ple, claimed to have discovered the algum trees mentioned in the Hebrew chronicle, while he maintained that the word "peacock,” an animal which is, of course, not found in Mashonaland, was a mistranslation for "ostrich.” An alternative explanation of the “sandalwood and peaeocki’ difficulty was that they were brought to South African Ophir and thence exported with the native products. It may be worth while just to mention the opinion of Mr. Selous, the famous hunter of big game. He is of opinion that the relics are the remains of an ancient temple for the worship of Raal, and of a strong fortress built for the protection of the Arab gold-diggers, and that the Bantu races still preserve in their blood traces of the foreign invasion.—Pall Mall Gazette. HOPE OF DIAMONDS IN ALASKA. Geological Conditions Strikingly Simi lar to Those of the Kimberley District. The reported finding of a number of small diamonds on a tributary of Golofin bay, forty miles east of Cape Nome, suggests that Alaska may ulti mately become as famous as a diamond field as it now is as a producer of the precious metal. The first microscopical examination of the ruby sands of ('ape Nome, in which the auriferous deposits in that district lie, was made by ex State Mineralogist Henry G. Hanks, who at the time declared his belief that some small lustrous crystals contained in the sand were diamonds. These crystals were microscopically minute, but they bore all of the characteristics of the precious gem in the rough. If diamonds have been found in the neighborhood of Golofin bay, and the crystals discovered by Hanks in the ruby sands of Nome were gems also, then the presumption is strong that a diamondiferous deposit exists some where within the watershed of both localities. There is nothing improbable in the finding of diamonds in paying quanti ties in the Territory. Some travelers have noticed a strong similarity be tween the topography and geological formations of the Yukon Valley and the diamond-bearing veldt of South Africa. The diamondiferous soil in the latter is found in the chimneys of extinct volcanoes. Alaska is a volcanic coun try. Most of its volcanoes have been long since dead; those still active are dying. Diamonds and the matrix in which they are found are of volcanic origin. Why should not diamonds exist in Alaska as well as in South Africa? Prospectors in Alaska have so far confined their search chiefly for gold. A few have been interested in its coal and copper deposits. Other minerals have been neglected. And yet there may be a store of greater wealth in some other mineral than any yet ob tained by the prospector for gold await ing the miner who. is intelligent enough to understand the signs leading to na ture’s secrets and profit by the knowledge. The diamonds discovered at Golofin bay and in the ruby sands of Cape Nome may be of no direct com mercial value, but they may stimulate the miner to search the country for their source, where a deposit may exist to amply enrich him for his labor and enterprise.—San Francisco Chronicle. A Far-Seeing Woman. Few people are cognizant of the fact that vaccination for the prevention of smallpox was originally a Turkish process, and that the Western world is indebted to a woman. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, for its introduction among the more advanced people. While residing in Belgrade, then Turkish, during the summer of 1717, Lady Mary observed a singular cus tom prevalent among the natives, that of engrafting, as they styled it, to pro duce a mild form of smallpox and stay its ravages. She examined the process with deep earnestness, as she had recently lost her only brother from that disease, and her own life had been scarcely saved; and being convinced of its efficacy, she did not hesitate to apply it to her own son, a child three years old. On her return to England, accom panied by the medical attendant of the English Embassy, she introduced the art in London. At that time it was computed that one person in every “THE BEST THERE IS IN PAINT” ASBESTOS H.W.

Maine Man Figured in the Case as Ac cessory. In Joseph A. Willard’s “Half a Cen tury with Judges and Lawyers,” is the following remarkable story of a mys terious murder which was committed in Salem, Mass., more than 70 years ago, in which a man from Maine figured as an accessory: “On tm* morning or me an oi April, 1830, Joseph White of Salem, was founcf murdered in his bed. Mr. White was a wealthy Salem merchant. No one slept in the house that night but bis man-servant and maid-servant. His niece, Mrs. Beckford, who was usually there, was that night away on a visit to her daughter at Wenham. Thirteen stabs were found on Mr. White’s body, done probably by a dirk, and a blow on his left temple, which fractured his skull. Nothing appeared to have been taken from the house, which trade the murder all the more mysterious, as he had no enemy. Re wards were offered for the perpe trators by his heirs, the selectmen and Governor Levi Lincoln; and a vigilance committee was chosen, consisting of twenty-seven members. “Captain Joseph J. Knapp, a Salem merchant and shipmaster, had two sons —Joseph J-, Jr., and John Francis Knapp. They said that while they were riding in a chaise from Salem to Wen ham, on the night of the Ttli of April, a highway robbery was committed upon them near Wenham Pond. This rob bery was made public next morning, and one newspaper announced that These gentlemen were well known in town, and their respectability and veracity dro not questioned by any of our citizens.’ No clew could be found to the mur derer until about the last of April, when a prisoner in the New Bedford jaii said that he knew something about it. although he had been a prisoner there some time before, and was still one at the time of the commission of the murder. His name was Hatch, aim no was orougm. inmi .vivv unuuiu by Attorney General Perez Morton be fore the grand jury, then sitting at Ipswich, to testify. The result was that Richard and George Crownin shield, Selman and Chase of Lynn, were all arrested on the second day of May, and committed to prison. “On the 15th of May, Joseph J. Knapp, the father, received a letter from Belfast, Me., purporting to be written by Charles Grant, Jr., of Pros pect, Me. This letter was intended for Joseph .T., Jr., but it fell into the hands of the father; as it was Greek to him, he handed it to his other son, Na thaniel Phippen Knapp, a lawyer, who found it equally unintelligible. The letter was a threatening one to Joseph J., Jr., written on the l'ith of May, de manding money, and threatening dis closures if it did not come. Knapp and bis son, the lawyer, took the letter to AVenham. where Joseph and Frank wire living, and showed it to them. Joseph told his father that it was "a lot of trash.” and wished him to give it to the vigilance committee, which he did. “The next day, Sunday. May 16, two pseudonymous letters were dropped into the Salem postoffioe, one addressed to Stephen White; th other to Gideon Itarstovv. The committee answered the Grant letter, not by mail from Salem, but by a man who went to Prospect, Me., deposited this letter addressed to Grant in the postoffice there, and wait ed to see him come and get it. He did not have to wait long, and when Grant called for the letter he was im mediately arrested. His name was Palmer, and although he had no hand in it, he disclosed the whole plan of the murder. The night of the murder he spent at the Half AVay House in Lynn, on the old turnpike. He said the purpose of the murder Was to destroy the will of Joseph White, and that Richard Crowninshield was to be paid $1000 for doing the deed. The two young Knapps were arrested on the 2ftth of May. The robbery was simply an invention of Joseph's, and it was he who wrote the two pseudonymous letters. “On the 3d of June, Palmer was brought to Salem atnl committed t Franklin Dexter and William H. Gardiner. Robert Rantoul also acted for the defence, to which objection was made on account of his youth, he hav ing then but recently been admitted to the bar. Daniel Webster aided the government, and made in this case one of his greatest arguments.” Webster said: “The deed was executed with a degree of self-posses sion and steadiness equal to the wick edness with which it was planned. Deep sleep had fallen on the destined victim, and on all beneath his roof. A healthful old man, to whom sleep was sweet, the first sound slumbers of the night held him in their soft but strong embrace. The assassin enters through the window already prepared, into an unoccupied apart ment. With noiseless foot he paces the lonely hall, half lighted by the moon; ne winds up the ascent of the ?tairs, and reaches the door of the chamber. Of this, he moves the lock, by soft and continued pressure, till it :urns on its hinges without noise: and te enters, and beholds his victim before aim. The room is uncommonly open to the admission of light. The face of he innocent sleeper is turned from the murderer, and the beams of the moon, resting on the gray locks of his aged temple, show him where to strike. The fatal blow is given! and the victim passes, without a struggle or a motion, from the repose of sleep to the repose of death! It is the assassin's purpose to make sure work; and he plies the dagger, though it is obvious that lite has been destroyed by the blow of the bludgeon. He even raises the aged arm, that he may not fail in his aim at the heart, and replaces it again over the wounds of the poniard! To finish the picture, he explores the wrist for the pulse! He feels for it, and ascer tains that it beats no longer! It is ac complished. The deed is done.” TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP, Gov.

Fellows of Fayette, has a four year-old Knox colt that is very promising; and his son Mellon has a yearling out of his brood mare Topsy, by one of J. S. Sanborn’s French coach stallions, that bids fair to be a good one. A good deal of attention is drawn to the pair of chestnut colls driven through Phillips’ streets by Charlie Pray. One of the colts is the property of I311ie Noble and the other of W. J. Ross. They are nicely mated and though but about nine months old, arc well broken to harness. O. H.

Plans have been sent to the Senate by President Roosevelt for a temporary building to be erected on the White House grounds for the use of the ex ecutive offices. It is proposed to con struct this building immediately, and to make provision for it in the Sundry Civil bill now before the Senate. The cost of the building is estimated at $30,000. The plan of the so-called Parking Commission for the erection of a building for the use of the Depart ments of State and Justice and the President, to be located opposite the State, War and Navy Department, and immediately adjoining Lafayette Park on the west, is meeting with consider able opposition. This is part of a vast scheme prepared by the Parking Com mission for beautifying Washington, and will involve an ultimate expendi ture of $200,000,000 or more. Senator Hale is opposed to this scheme, and is especially opposed to that part of it which proposes to surround Lafayette Park with public buildings. ‘‘To sur round Lafayette Park with public buildings that will entirely dwarf the White House,” said Mr. Hale, "Is ab surd and inartistic. It would turn in t6 a business section the square which was certainly intended in the original plan to be a delightful, restful park, and, in a sense, a portion of the White House grounds. Lafayette Park as it is now, surrounded by pleasant old residences, not too large or imposing, is in perfect harmony with the White House. If public buildings surrounded it, there would be the continual clatter of mail and delivery wagons and the bustle of business on all sides. Then it would be entirely out of harmony. “But the plan for the Executive, State and Justice Building is particu larly absurd. I have examined it care fully. It is simply an architect’s plan. The architects believe that the Presi dent and his Cabinet and every one else must conform to their ideas. Why should the President of the United States be given the third story of a building, with two departments occu pying tho two lower floors? The peo ple will not want anything of that kind. Such an arrangement would bring the departments entirely too close to the President. It would make his grind of work even harder than it is now. People who had business with the departments would all consider it necessary to their peace of mind that they see the President. And, more over it is not in accord with the dig nity of the office that the head of the nation should have the third story of any building." Mr. Hale thinks the ideal place for a permanent executive building is on the ground on which the old Freed man's Bank stood, and which for many years was occupied by the Department of Justice. This location is directly opposite the White House, fronting East Lafayette Park, and the ground is now vacant, the building having; been torn down two years ago with the view of erecting a building on the site for the Department of Justice. It was considered too small for this purpose, and nothing has been done towards erecting a building, the expectation being that Congress would authorize the purchase of the additional land considered necessary. The present lot, in the opinion of Mr. Hale, would be ample for a handsome structure, to be used by the executive force of the White House, and he believes that in the near future such a building will be erected on the site.

When little girls wear aprons nowadavs they never give a thought to how orna mental or becoming they are, but they put them on because mamma or nurse wishes to protect their pretty cioth'-s. but when there is company in the parior And mamma sends for them, the aprons are laid aside, and there they are In their nice fresh dresses, unhurt by their romp ing. But long ago, when their great-grand mothers were young, aprons were con sidered a very important piece of cloth ing. 'No lady’s wardrobe was complete without a goodly supply of aprons. They were made by the dozen in every style ind design—gold and silver brocad" xprons, aprons wrought with gold "mln jet aprons worn in that good old fash dance and coquettishly trimmed with bows and lace to suit the fancy o' he wearer, and there were gauze aprons m<J lawn embroidered aprons, and lea ions were given and patterns sold for em troidering them. There Is no telling how long ago aprons •ame into fashion; they doubtless were unong the many things which came from i-ngland in the Mayflower. Queen Ann’ core them, and, of course, her loyal sub ects followed her example, and it u irobablj the early Colonial dames put them to sterner use in the pioneer (lays. If some enterprising person undertook to hunt up and classify the vurlous styles of aprons he would find his Work as diffi cult as the compiling of.a diction-ary. They have been put to so many uses requiring variety in .size and shape that volumes might be written about thi m. Ladies and children alike wfurthem even now. but the days of ornament are over —tlie apron of fasldon is no more. The Installment Plan in Marriage. This seems to be the age of Install ments.
