A very (fond fmnc was played on the Home diamond last night between tho Home team and the Shamrocks of Gardi ner, Tomm winning by one score in tho eighth inning, which was the last, and was made by Stott on a long fly to cen ter field by Schueler and was muffed by Kennedy. The feature of »lie game was the pitclvlmr of Schueler and the two-base hit by Stott. The team needs some prac tice, to bo sure, but as a whole they play very good ball at the llrst of the season.

After a debate lasting three days the education bill passed its second read ing in tiie British House of Commons Wednesday evening by 370 votes to 206. The Nationalists joined the Uni onists in voting against ’he measure and the debate gave little indication of a possibility of compromise during the committee stage. The minority is reiving upon the House of Lords to either throw out the bill entirely or materially change it so as to give both the Church of England and the Ro man Catholics greater facilities for denominational teachings. The legislative committee on railroads reported a bill in the Massachusetts House Wednesday altering the provis ions of the so-called anti-stock water ing law so that in the issue of now stock of railroads the price may be fixed by the stockholders instead of by the rail road commissioners, but still giving the latter body power to approve the amount of the stock to be Issued and to forbid the sale if the commission considers the price excessive. The bill is drawn on lines suggested by former Railroad Com missioner Jackson and President Tuttle of the Boston ft Maine Railroad. Miss Helen Maloney, daughter of Mar tin Maloney of Philadelphia, never was legally married to Arthur TI. Osborne, according to the decision of Referee Co halan, which was filed in the supreme court at New York Wednesday. Tito court affirmed the report.

Tiie effect of the annulment of the Osborne marriage is to make the marriage to Clarkson legal.

Since the organ ization of the commission on April 15, l!hM. 172 awards have been made out or a total of 2132 cases investigated. Among the awards made Wednesday is a bronze medal voted to Thelma M. M ’Nee. 17 years old. of Boston, for rescuing two children from their burn ing homes. It is officially announced at Paris that the Pope has instructed the French episcopate to refuse the clause in the church devolution law providing for the creation of mutual aid socie ties for aged priests. These societies it was planned, would not only take over the property belonging to certain funds for aged priests amounting to $1.°00,000. but, in accordance with a recent amendment to the devolution of church property bill, they would accept pious foundations for masses. The. news of this refusal is received with much regret by the independent newspapers. It will result, under the law, in the turning over of funds val ued at many million dollars to public charities. “While the authors of the law seek to avoid the odium of having taken away the bread of poor,aged and infirm priests, the Pope says in part, “they offer to return to the church a small part of the sequestrated proper ty What they hand back with one hand, they lessen the value of with the other by imposing restrictions and ex ceptions."

THE DAILY MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day’s Dealings In All The Leading Stocks. New York, May 20.—The violent and feverish action of today's stock market confused and intimidated the less power ful class cl' operators, who saw prices moving: apparently at the will of hidden forces whose action could not he follow ed and whose motives could not be fath omed. That operators of powerful re sources were using: violent manipulative measures to effect the wide and sudden fluctuations in prices was patent to even superlicial observation. The constant contrast in thes=- movements might leave open a hypothesis of artificial support for the pur pc se of selling to realize profits or of a sudden withdrawal of support and forcing back of prices to shake off the weak following which has trailed onto the speculative movement of the more powerful bull party. The bull position has grown increasing vulnerable. The early part of the day was given over to repairing the inroads on prices effect“d yesterday and early today. The sensational advance in Missouri Pacific and the response by sympathy of the whole Gould group was tlie effective me dium for support in prices during this attempt towards a rally. Mysterious al lusions to new alliances for the Gould railroad enterprises involving financial support from the wealthiest American capitalists made up the motive power of this movement. The news to account for the break in prices was of a similarly shadowy kind. The particular weakness of American Smelting was due to implied doubt of the maintenance of the divi dend on the stock. While prices wero breaking, sentiment showed some sensi tiveness to reports of another cut in ent I ton goods prices by Western mercantile interests. Last prices were generally bo low those of last night, but the closing tone was strong and at substantial re coveries from the lowest prices of the day. Lands were easy.

Waldo County Pomona Held Tuesday at Belfast, Annual Meeting ot the Girl’s Home In Hie Same Oily. Death of Mrs. C. M. McCrillis of Bangor, Formerly of Dexter. Belfast. Me., May 20.—(Special).— The monthly meeting of the Maine Waldo County Grange was held in'this city yesterday. As the hall of the Sea side Grange, which entertained the County Grange, was burned last win ter, the meeting was held in Odd Fel lows hall, Main street. The morning session was called to order shortly after the 10 o'clock train arrived. All olheers were present with one excep tion. Daniel Bowen of Morrill was call ed upon for remarks and spoke in his usual happy manner. veil candidates were given the Filth degree. The de gree was worked in fall form and was very impressive. Thirteen Granges were represented in the gathering. Af ter the brief business session tile meet ing was adjourned for a recess of two hours. During the recess a Picnic din ner was served in the banquet hall above and a social hour was enjoyed. The afternoon session was then call ed to order and an address of welcome was given by Miss Frapces Abbott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Giles Ab bott. Miss Abbott delivered the ad dress in a most graceful and gracious manner, assuring the visitors of their most hearty welcome to Belfast and the Seaside Grange. The response was made by Brother Winslow. He spoke of the pleasure it gave the other Granges to meet with Seaside and touched upon manjr subjects interest ing to Patrons, including the value of Giarlge work and the responsibility of the lecturer in literary work. A guest of honor was State Master C. S. Stetson of Greene, who was a most welcome visitor. Always genial and with a glad hand for all he is al ways sure of a hearty welcome from whatever Grange he favors with an official visit. He spoke for some time in his bright and entertaining manner saying that he had been traveling over the State furnishing applause for Prof. Bateman. In a more serious vein he told what an ideal Pomona Grange should be. It should inspire the people to higher ideals. He criticized the work of some Granges. The Granges should be very careful in selecting members or organizing new Granges. He spoke of the duties and responsibility of lec turers. The Grange should discuss economic questions but should pop al-r low them to becdhie papji^hr Mr, Stetson spoke of many other things of interest to the Patrons and was heart ily applauded throughout. Prof. L. C. Bateman of Lewiston was the next speaker. In his own in imitable way he told many amusing anecdotes and patriotic stories. He spoke of the danger of large immigra tion, the importance of lecturer's of fice, encouraged the Patrons to speak in public, talked in favor of woman's suffrage and spoke eloquently on tem perance. He said that the Granges should discuss every topic in order to be a power for good. Prof. Bateman’s speech was highly interesting and in structive and thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Mabel Webber sang a solo which was much enjoyed and encored, to which she responded with “Little Black Me.” A reading by the lecturer, Mrs. Rackcliffe, of: this city; closed the program. Her selection was entitled "Aunt Sylvia’s -First. Lesson in Geography:" It wits wdll delivered and loudly applaudeji. The funeral of the late Mrs. I. V. Miller took place at 2 o’clock this af ternoon at her late' home, Rev. Ash ley Smith officiating.' Mrs. •'Miller died at 2 P. M.

She was born in Xorthport about 61 years ago, but since her marriage some 40 years ago to Mr. Miller, had made her home in Felfast. One daughter, Irva, was born to them. She grew to wo manhood and was married, but died a few years ago. The husband and one brother, Alden Witherlie of Massachu setts, who was born at the time of her death, survive. Both Mr. and Mrs. Milieu were prominent in Grand Army circles and she will be sadly missed at their future gatherings. Many beau tiful flowers testified to the love and esteem in which she was held.

Ashley Smith, pastor of the Ufiiversalist church in this city, will deliver the Memorial address in Unity. Rev. M. S. Newbert of Newport was the guest of Rev. A. E. Luce yester day on his way home from Vinal haven, where he preached last Sunday in Union church.

Cook, Mrs. John Stephenson, Miss Ida Ames, Miss Kate Brior, Mrs. Leslie Follett, Miss Louise Dennett, Miss Lena Leavitt, Miss Millicent Pierce, Miss Bertha I. Bird, Miss An nette Shuman.

Before the farce a musical program was given, including a trombone solo “The Holy City,” by Herbert Drinkwater; con tralto solos by Mrs. Clement W. Wes cott and soprano solos by Mrs. Edwin P. Frost. Ice cream and cake were 'iJurn aintmu’i am .tnora The annual meeting of the Girl's Home Association was held in this city yesterday afternoon at 2 P. M., Rev. William Vaughan presiding.

Ten girls from dif ferent sections of the State were re ceived into the home. Good homes were found for 11 of the little ones during vhe year. There was an average of 14 girls in the home during the year and there are 14 there at present. An other girl will be taken in soon from Portland and there are three applica tions before the board. During the year the receipts have been several hundred dollars more than tlie expenses. A bequest of $5000. has been received from the George II. AArare estate of AVaterville. This has been invested. One object for the com ing year will be to remodel the home. A new bathroom is needed, the school or play room should be enlarged and a laundry is needed. When the house is remodeled it will be? enlarged, thus enabling the board to accept more gifts. As is well known the home is a State institution and its help and influence is far-reaching. Mrs. E. I,. Brackett, the Field superintendent, is doing a splendid work and is ably assisted by her associate managers. The home is beautifully situated about a mile from tlie city on Northport avenue, com manding a fine view of the harbor ami bay and within a short walk of the city park. DEXTER. Death of Mrs. C. M.

BURLEIGH OF AUGUSTA. Bryan carried Alabama this week and no doubt he will repeat the trick in November. It Is far to the harvest time here in New England, but Kansas is sending out its annual appeal for help in har vesting its great winter wheat crop next month. Wednesday's Eastern Argus pub lishes an article on rice as a muscle maker. The Argus must be careful. The first tiling it knows the Water ville Sentinel will be charging it with advocating a "coolie diet” for the American people! It transpires that King, the missing Boston “hnancier,” was doing well enough until he began to run a news paper. He lost $130,000 on this ven ture in short order, and then Hew the coop. The way of a promoter in journalism is not a path of roses. The cremation movement, which has failed to make such progress as its advocates have been predicting, gets a setback in Germany where one of the highest courts has Just ruled that the prlctice is without any sanction of German law and may be forbidden by the police authorities of any city or town. The court even goes so far as to add that the practice of crema tion is repugnant to religious sensi bilities. Iceland, which is now talking of getting its independence from I ten mark, was given u constitution and Parliament of its own as long ago as lki'4. Having gained tiiis much it re belled agairiHi: being, ruthd by a. royal governor, and live years ago this of ficial was replaced by a minirter for Iceland residing on the island. Thus, Iceland now has freedom in everything nut name. Its population is only about so.onu, not very large for an in dependent empire, but national ag gr ssiveness is something wholly inde pendent of size and there is a very good prospect that Denmark will lose her principal colony before many years have passed. The biggest battleship ever launched in the New World will glide down tic ways at Camden, N. .1., next Saturday. It Is llte Michigan, the first American craft of the socnlPd Dreadnaught type, and with its construction our na vy enters upon a new era. The Mich igan will lie ot It!,00(1 tops and will em body all the essentials of the latest de velopments of naVal construction. Ii will lie a, much more formidable bat tleship than any of those now with the'licet in the Pacific. The two new liattleshitis authorized by the present CongressjwIII he much larger still, be ing of jo,000 tons. The Michigan's main battery will consist of eight twelve-iiiih guns, till of which can be brought to hear on either side of the ship. 1 -4-■ The battleship licet has been forced to decline many of the pressing invi tations extended to it. and upon its voyage around the world it will stop at relatively few of the ports which are anxious to welcome it. There is one appeal, however, that should he granted. This Is the plea from the leper colony of Molokai, not far from Honolulu. The lepers do not ask that the fleet stop at their settlement, but merely that it shall pass near enough to he seen by the unfortunates con demned to a living death on that is land reservation. It is truly a pathetic request and if by granting it our great fleet of battleships shall bring a ray of light to those darkened lives there will be a new and unexpected just id eation for the long cruise which the fleet is making. Tlte temperance wave which has been sweeping through the South has evidently gone over the Texas lice into Mexico. The state of Morelia has just enacted a law prohibiting the sale of liquor by the glass to be drunk in the place where it is bought. Liquor may he bought and sold by the bottle only, and must be carried away. Many of the Mexican states have largely suppressed gambling of tlte worst sorts by stringent laws ami faithful en forcement. High license prevails nearly everywhere in cities, and the number of saloons in the various states has been greatly curtailed within the past few years. Governor Creel is a friend of temperance, if not of pro hibition, and as he is more and more looked to as the coming force in Mex ico. the advance Of his Ideas is to be looked for, ______ i__- The Referendum and the Prohibitory Principle. The Lewiston Sun wants the Journal to explain “what would happen if the Legislature accepts and complies with the petition provided for in Section 18. Section 18, the section on "which the Journal relies, says:— Any measure thus proposed by not less than twelve thousand electors un less enacted without change by the Legislature at the session at which it was presented, shall be submitted to the electors, together with any amend ed form, substitute, or recommenda tion of the Legislature, and in such manner that the people can choose be tween the competing measures or re ject both. That says “Unless enacted without change by the Legislature.” But if it is enacted without change by the Leg islature, how are you going to get it submitted to the electors? If the editor of the Sun will take the trouble to read section 17 of the resolve he will find an answer to his question in very ciear terms. That section reads as follows: Upon the written petition of not Ies3 than ten thousand electors, ad dressed to the governor and filed in the office of the secretary of state within ninety days after the recess of the legislature, requesting that one or more acts, bills, resolves or resolu tions, or part or parts thereof, passed by the Legislature, but not then in ef fect by reason of the provisions of the preceding section, be referred to the people, such acts, bills, resolves, or resolutions or part or parts thereof as are specified in such petition shall not take effect until thirty days after the governor shall have announced by pub lic proclamation that the same have been ratified by a majority of the elect ors voting thereon at a general r spec ial election. As soon as it appears that the effect of any act, bill, resolve, or resolution or part or parts thereof has been suspended by petition in manner aforesaid, the governor by public proc lamation shall give notice thereof and of the time when such measure is to Is: voted on by the people, which shall be at the next general election not less than sixty days after such proclama tion, or in case of no general election within six months thereafter the gov ernor may, and if so requested in said written petition therefor, shall order such measure submitted to the people at a special election not less than four j nor more than six montiis after his proclamation thereof.’ Ie will be seen by the foregoing sec tion that even if the Legislature should pass tlie resolution submitted to it through the original petition, as sug gested by the Sun, any 10,000 voters would still have it in their power to secure its submission to the people upon a “written petition” “addressed to the governor and filed in the oilioe >1 the Secretary of State within nine ty days after the recess of the legis lature.” An Electrician's Prophecy. The wise man will hesitate before he expresses incredulty at any predic tions which scientists make. When we consider the many great changes in the methods and modes of life during the 19th century almost nothing seems impossible along scientific lines during I in- century upon which we have just entered. In an address in New York this week before a gathering of electrical experts I>r. Charles P. Steinmetz of Schenectady, New York, consulting engineer of t lie General electric Company and tegarded as one of the leading men of his profession in the world, made some startling pro phecies as to the part which electricity will play in the world’s near future. The world is already worrying over tile exhaustion of the great storehouses of energy which it has hitherto relied upon for heat, light and power, and however well supplied the present generation may he there will soon be a generation which will have little if any coal, oil, wood and natural gas to be used in prodigal and wasteful fashion. The time is within sight when water power and the direct rays of the sun will be all we have left—unless, of course, some lucky prospector discov ers a new lot of radium mines. When this epoch arrives electricity will be the master mover. Heat, light, power even agriculture (through electrically manufactured fertilizers) will be abso lutely dependent upon a supply of tills curious fluid, or disturbance in the ether, whose real character is still a inyst“ry. Then every watercourse from the springs to the sea will become a series of ponds, each with its power plant. Rushing cataracts, picturesque rapids, etc., will disappear, and every drop of water which the clouds carry up into the mountains will be passed through a hundred water wheels in its return journey to the sea. Regarding the direct use of the sun’s rays. Dr. Steinmetz was less specific. Some way may be devised for collect ing and storing the superfluous suat mer heat, in the form possibly of electricity, and then releasing it during the winter months. It is perhaps too much to hope that the winter outdoor climate of Now England, for instance, could be softened into comfortable fall weather through December, January, and February. This, of course, would be the ideal solution of the problem, and if all the heat Old Sol wastes dur ing the sweltering days of July and August could be bottled up for winter use a great improvement in summer as well as winter weather might he real ized. As to the details regarding these wonders of the future, however, ex perts will certainly differ. The elec trical age may be replaced by a radium age. or by one named for a still more remarkable and as yet undiscovered source of energy. But is does seem reasonably certain that the 190$ map, resurrected in 2008 will see at least as remarkable changes in the daily life of the world as would one of his own ancestors of 1808 if brought back to day, and that's saying a good deal, for the last hundred years has changed the face of the civilized world more than all its predecessors put together. Prof. Leslie A. Lee. In the death of Prof. Leslie A. Lee of Bowdoin College, there is lost to th“ state a man whose usefulness has by no means been confined to the in stitution on whose faculty he has been a faithful and efficient member for 32 years. As the leader of expeditions to Labrador and to Patagonia his ex plorations and investigations gave him wide recognition in the scientific world, and his work as the chairman of the State Topographical Survey Commission for the past decade has been ot permanent value to Maine. He was rat“d in educational circles as one of the leading teachers of our times in biology and geology. He had a rare gift of gaining the lasting af fection of the men in his lecture room and laboratory, a happy faculty of encouraging the pleasant familiarity that never becomes contempt. The death by drowning of his only son last summer was a terrible blow and had broken him down so that he di:l not nave the reserve vitality to fight the illness that came upon him only a few days ago. Prof. Lee was a native of Vermont and was a graduate of St. Lawrence University, New York, of which his father was the first president. He was himself offered the presidency of that institution a. few years ago, but declined this offer, as lie did other very flattering offers, to continue his work at Bowdoin. All those who have been students at that college in tlie past third of a century will feel that they have lost a dear personal friend in the death of Prof. Lee. His place will be a hard one to fill, and his memory will linger long at Brunswick and wherever lie the paths of Bowdoin men. All Well Along the Canal. Tlio return of Secretary Taft from Panama calls renewed attention to the satisfactory way in which tilings are progressing along the line of the big ditch. One of the best things about Panama is the way in which it has been kept out of the news of late. The agreeable inference as to progress there is confirmed by the report which the Secretary of War makes after a thorough inspection of the work. Prom ocean to ocean there is a scene of continuous industry which belies the tropical conditions. It was not long ago that (lie world was told that no foundation could be found for the Gatun dam. but now the foundations are practically in place. The army officer who is at the head of the work plainly lacks an ad vertising bureau and is not burdened down by any such great reputation as his predecessors possessed, but there is something very gratifying about the amount of work he is ac complishing. There is no trouble with labor and the health conditions are all right, although it was only a short time ago that the pessimists assured us f iat the labor problem and the health problem would be obstacles too great to overcome at Panama. Sec retary Taft makes the cheerful pre diction that the actual work of ex cavation will be completed in three years, but of course after that must come the building of the locks and the finishing touches. When Secretary Talt says that things are going well in the canal zone and that the work being done is wholly satisfactory, the people of the country do not care for a detailed statement. They have faith in his sincerity and give him lull credit for knowing what he is talking about. Yesterday it was certain that Mrs. Guinness was burned in the ruins of her I.aporte slaughter house. Today she will be seen near tlie Texas border or landing in Europe from some American liner. The municipality of Vienna lias a public debt of exceptional magnitude, which it now proposes to increase by tile purchase of coal mines in Moravia. London’s greatest rush hours are from 8 to 9 in the morning and at about ti.80 in the evening. Between 8 and 9, 104,000 persons enter the city, between 6 and 7, 179,000 leave. It takes four years to train a lion for exhibition work, and only one an imal in four is lit for training. A well trained lion is worth five times the price of one untrained. Denmark has nearly 200,000 farms and farm gardens of ten acres or less, and about 00,001 farms between ten and fifteen acres.

Bov.doinham and Phippsburg arc two Sagadahoc county towns which report a lower tax rate this year than usual. No doubt this will be very satisfactory to the people of those towns. One of the few apricot trees in Maine is that in the garden of Mrs. Nellie B .Scruton of Lewiston, and just at present it is like one big ocautiful bouquet of pinks. The tree was set out ten years ago and lias grown to a height of about twenty feet. It lias blossomed every season for five years but never have the blossoms been as beautiful as tills spring. It lias borne a little fruit and, unless all signs fail, the crop this year will be worth while. Improvements on the government building of Bath to the extent of $35, 000 dollars will plate the building as an extra attraction of the city. It is understood that this expenditure is to be used for changes in the main cor ridor and for grading. It is proposed to do away with the concrete ‘‘front yard and doorway” and have there instead an attractive lawn. Such a change will improve the general ap pearance of the federal building great ly.

Next Saturday it will be the turn of the preparatory school athletes to struggle on field and track for medals and glory. The following schools will be represented on Whititer field, Brunswick: Abbot school, Bangor High school, Bar Harbor High school. Biddetord High school, Deering High school, Edward Little High school, Hallowell High school, Hebron Acad emy, Kent’s Hill Seminary, Lewiston High school, Maine Central Institute, Oak Grove Seminary, Old Town High school, Portland High school, West brook Seminary, Yarmouth Academy and Yarmouth High school. A dashing Bath widow prepared a pleasant surprise for her suitor a few evenings since. Expecting a call from him, she hid herself in a con venient corner of the dark hall, and as he touched the knob of the door bell, sprang out in the darkness and nearly smothered him—with kisses. His cool reception of her caresses startled her with a recognition of the fact that instead of her lover she had been lavishing her sweetness upon a friend of her suitor, who had come, with a note explaining an unforeseen absence. The widow thereupon, with groat propriety fainted on the spot. Over 200 years old is the string of gold beads presented recently to Miss Helen Leavitt of Bowdoinham by Portland relatives. In connection with this gift an interesting story is told. The string of beads when giv en to Miss Leavitt was not complete, some of them having been lost years ago. Trying to match the beads, the young woman visited every place in Portland but could find nothing at all like them. Hers were of odd design and had a peculiar tracing found only on the higher priced beads. Think ing that perhaps she could match them in size, she tried again with the same result. The other day while in Brunswick, Miss Leavitt chanced to visit a curio shop in the college town, and there found the exact duplicate ot her beads, bearing the same trac ings and of the same size. Further examination convinced her that these were the lost beads that had at one time belonged to the string presented 1o her. The. way in which this por tion of a family heirloom was lost still remains a mystery. A record of 31 years in her present position, with not one day lost or a single trip missed is the remarkable record of Mrs. Margaret Higgins, stewardess of the steamer J. T. Morse, on the Rockland and Bar Harbor run. Mrs. Higgins lias been connected with the company back farther than the present generation can remember, arid the hosts of travelers whom she has made things easy for during her years of service hope that she may be in the service of the company for as many more years. This is her 31st consecu tive summer in the capacity of stew ardess, and the Morse without her fa miliar face would hardly be the same craft She was for years on the old Mount Desert, which ran before the Morse was built, and for years on the boats preceding her. During all this time she has not lost a day from duty, nor missed a trip, a record as faithful, as remarkable. »t Another year will probably see a new lighthouse tender in commission in the first and second district as Congress has appropirated $200,000 f->r the construction of such a steam er to take the place of the tenders Geranium and Myrtle which are now doing the work for this district and the second which includes the Maine coast and also the coast of Massachu setts. It has become necessary that a new steamer be built for these dis tricts as the Geranium has been con demned and the Myrtle is rather an old boat. Xo information has been received yet in regard to the dimen sions of the new tender but it is thought hv the lighthouse officials that she will be constructed of steel and will have twin screws. It is proba ble that she will be a great deal larg er than tlie Geranium or the Myrtle as she is to take the place of both these steamers. .3; 1-1 i'lcl 0111 w-l>; Oil j-J I _ Through the courtesy of Lieut.

He comes of one of the best families of old Somerset county and it is another of those cases where blood tells. GLEANINGS ANI GOSSIP. Alfred Dreyfus has turned socialist, and the French socialists are greatly rejoiced. The season for freak chickens is now at hand. Glend Falls, N. Y., reports one with two heads and web feet. Along with the anniversaries which are due soon is the 12th of that “cross of gold’’ speech which upset the Demo crats. A poor girl won an automobile in a lottery in New York the other day. It’s the old white elephant in new clothes. A new Jersey man has made a pet dog a legal partner in his firm. And yet New Jersey objects when fun is poked at her. Another man claims that he has dis covered a method of making (fold out of scrap-iron. No, he is not a junk dealer. This country seems to be wrong again. All the women in Paris are wearing hats which go up in the air in stead of spreading out Hat. Another point which most of the pa pers have neglected this year is that the r-less months arc now here and it's up to the timid clam. Bryan seems to be getting a good deal of hope from the fact that the news paper cartoons of him are not as bad as they used to be. A Connecticut farmer lias raised a potato which he says is better un cooked than cooked. It’s doubtless bet ter uneaten than either. Yonson of Minnesota now say,? that he won’t run for vice-president, lie is evidently afraid that some one is go ing to try to shelve him. A London minister says that people who talk too much are apt to go insane. Better not read this to vour wife. No use taking chances. The Denver Post recently printed a long story headed “How Tramps Are Made.” Most us supposed they were, like poets, born, not made. A Pittsburg woman used her 11 months-old babv as a club on a man the other day and nearly killed it. And yet Pittsburg claims to be civilized. A New Jersey man is suing a life in surance company on the ground that it helped star! the panic last fall. If he wins, the company will be some busy. H. H. Rogers now says that he has ne\er juggled railroad stocks. This is probably true. To juggle you have to run the risk of dropping something. One good way in which England could show just what she thought of William Walled-off Astor would he by giving the Chesapeake’s (lag to this country. Tom Watson now wants the capital removed from Washington. He has wanted several other things whiyh he stands about as much chance of get ting. If the Sick Man of Europe has really paid $100,000 for a diamond, it’s an aw ful joke on some of the nations he has been bluffing for the past 10 years on the plea of poverty. Tile fact that Comdr. Perry is trying to got ready to make another daslt for the pole does not seem to get a great deal of action out of the Walter Well man publicity bureau. One sure way to stop this night-rid ing business in Kentucky mighty quick would be to order the 9th cavalry down there. Kentucky wouldn't take more than one chance with the “fighting 9th.” A Kansas man got hold of the wrong bottle the other morning after shaving and rubbed a lot of carbolic acid over bis face by mistake. He says that it was almost as painful as a safety razor. From ihe way in which some of the newspapers in the middle West are constantly running editorials on the condition of the prune crop it is sus pected that editorial salaries arc not being increased much out that way. The principal of the Horace Mann school in New York is trying to make the girls of the school stop wearing high-heeled shoes, big hats and loud jewelry. He will have everyone's sym pathy in his efforts but that of the girls. A good deal of talk is being made in a cabal to stop rich Americans break cause a physician has been prescribing champagne for his patients. But North Carolina is under the dispensary sys tem, it must be remembered. A number of prominent society wo men in London have, it is said, formed a cable to stop rich Americans break ing into Englich society. Judging from some who have gone over there the "English women cannot be greatly blamed. It is said that Senator Jeff Davis writes all his speeches for fear that he would say some things for which lie would be sorry if he spoke off-hand. If he ever gi ts extemporizing the Con gressional Record will have to be print ed on asbestos then. A really strange story comes from Chicago. It is about the reader of me ters for a gas company there. It is said that he failed to read a cipher on a meter for several years, and the con sumer made many dollars. It is a good story, hut it never could have hap pened. Meter readers see differently. Catarrh, Called an American disease, is cured by an American medicine, originated and prepared in the most catarrhal of American countries. That medicine is Hood’s Sarsa parilla. It cures radically and permanently, in that it removes the cause, cleansing the blood of scrofulous and all other impurities. It overcomes all the effects, of catarrh, too, and builds up the wnole system. Plenty of Men with good balances at this bank started their accounts with very little cash.

LIBBY, Treasurer. THOMAS H. BODGE, Asst. Trees. CULTIVATE THE TOWN SPIRIT. Various Ways in Which Expression May Be Given to It. What can one do for his own town? He can certainly do something tar better than fighting evil; he can build the useful and the beautiful. Among the farmers’ best proverbs Is “Hoe the corn, and the weeds will take care of themselves." Prohibition has no value beside permission and encouragement. A good ball-ground donated by a kind ly spirit, and looked over by the donor, can be made the very expression of manly sentiment among the boys of the town. We know one man, who is called the town father, although he is not yet in middle life. He gets his title from his determined effort to give the young people what their youthful spirits call for, while by his kindly steal he is able to suppress the evil associa tions commonly associated with gam ing fields. That man’s spirit quietly governs and educates all the young people of the town. He is a force by himself—a sort of superintendent of education—without being a nominal teacher. A town school, gathering to itself all the forces that have heretofore been scattered among a dozen district schools, has fortunately become the rule all along the pioneering path of the Puritans westward. Such a build ing, if placed in the center of several acres of ground, where the garden school idea can be developed, does for the town what the old school system was incapable of accomplishing. It not only develops a new sort of spirit in the young people, making them workers as well as thinkers, but the commodious building becomes a center of town thought and effort. Those who create town libraries should in variably associate them with the. school. It is unwise to duplicate ex penses, but it is still worse to fail in creating a town center. The school building should be the very heart of public effort and thought. A town tree-planting association is needed everywhere. The first or ganization of this kind on record, was in Clinton, Ct., and this was followed by a second in Clinton, N. Y. These organizations have been in existence for nearly 50 years, anil they have done a vast deal in the way of making then towns centers of refinement. They are constituted of the more enterprising and cultured people, who meet once a month, rotating in suc cession to their several homes. After luncheon upon such fruits and vege table products as the season affords, and after discussing these, the after noon or evening is occupied in con sideration of town improvement. Both of these towns have become notable, not only for their admirable avenues, but for their well-planted homesteads. The best methods of culture, and the introduction of rare trees and shrubs, are always prominent topics. An as sociation of this sort, if composed of men only, should be supplemented by a co-operative association of women for household improvement. The annual fee should be small, but It should be sufficient to make possible the testing of the value of new plants and trees. The town should turn over the care of street trees entirely to such a trained band of citizens or more properly to that one who is selected by them as best qualified. Town authorities are rarely qualified for judicious work of this sort. The creation of a town park, involv ing the evolution of a love for nature, can be greatly advanced by individual effort. Seize on every waste public spot for the creation of the beautiful, individual members of the Clinton Ru ral Art Association were stimulated to promote the planting of the village green, and later a' smaller park for the display of flowers and shrubs. The association itself planted, around the railroad depot, a welcome to strang ers; and an unsightly canal bank now appears as a magnificient wall of Nor way spruces. By all means our towns, whether young or old, should recognize their own history as a chapter of interest to the future. Old home week has not only demonstrated how widely we have become scattered, but how tender re mains the associations of pioneers with their old New England homesteads. The first celebration of this sort, out side of New England, was in Oneida county, N. Y. Each' town worked as a unit, and some of them gathered back to the old brooks and glens three or four hundred guests, gathered from all over the 'Western states—once more to hear each other’s voices and clasp hands. Sufficient historic material was collected to construct a valuable town museum. It was curious to discover, away up on the hillside, and under barns, three or four of the old-time wooden plows, and many other primi tive implements, used by our fathers and mothers 100 years ago. Such a museum should, however, be forward looking as well as backward looking; scientific as well as historic. Every town has its own botany, entomology and geology, as well as frequently its own ornithology. An old building or an old homestead, marking a past or der of events, and an architecture characterizing an earlier period, should not be lightly allowed to be destroyed. Last year the first aedderny built by New Englanders on their way west ward was tom down to build the bricks into the basement of a college 1 restaurant. The first mill is still in existence, and the very first library, that is, the books, are still collected, but lie in a heap in an attic. The appeal is not so much to the mil lionaire as to those who can only give to tlie people a modest share in the re membrance of prosperity. There should be a combination of effort; so that while one man gives the school park, another constructs the building, and a third contributes the garden and or chard. \Vc- know a village brought to ,thc front rank as a residence home by a man who transformed a wild glen into a tiling of beauty and a joy for ever. The idea caught, and all about him the farmer foil* began to cultivate the beautiful. That town today is known throughout the land for its loveliness. In a quiet way ill-taste is suppressed, and bad habits go witli it. Tlie population becomes refined with out schools of art, because each one is studying art in his daily work. At all events cultivate the town spir it. It is our social home, it was the Anglo-Saxon unit; and it cannot be ll ft out of a democratic government. State authorities should be compelled to keep their bends off local rights. Every sign of town weakness indieates a growth of national autocracy. Keep up the town spirit. Tat town tradi tions be recorded for the children; memorable trees lie guarded; beautiful glens or groves, with springs of sweet water lie adopted by the public.—New York independent.
