NEW YORK CRY contains to-day hard
on 100000 inhabitants. Brooklyn
contains population of $50, 900; this,
added to 1900, 900, would give New
York 1850, 900. If, however, we take
in Jersey City and Staten Island, which
clearly belong to this agglomeration of
population, New York, viewed as me-
tropolis, is the second largest city of the
civilized world, containing over 2,OOO,-
600 inhabitants. Thus: London, 8, 49,
1923; New York, over 1900, 900, and
then Paris with 1851, 1872.

then portions of the cargo, including Sc

We have visited Maquam. We did
not enter the city in palace car, but
upon ''larry" car. This fact was
becoming. There was an appropria-
teness between ourself, the car and
the city that was striking. Maquam
is situated on Maquam Bay. Maquam
Bay lies just south of Hog Island.
(They are beginning to call it Seotne
Island now.) The city is attractive
to sea gulls and Lockwood. There is
a small dock, with a wood box on one
corner of it and barn near by. To
the south of the dock are sunk
two appropriations from the Govern
ment, which, together with some 40
or 90 more appropriations, will, doubt
less, at some future day, make break
water. Three men were lazily loading
a car with pig'iron. The wind whist
led moarnfully through the pines and
we regretfnlly pushed the ''larry" car
up the grade toward the village of
Swanton. Our regretfulness as we
left the city was measured by the
steepness of'the grade.

THE NELSON TRAGEDY.

The mysterious shooting of Cyrus
f. Nelson at his fathers in Sanbortan,
N. H., on Nov. 2nd, eXcites much
comment. Cyrus was the second of
five children, nearly seventeen years
old, Of manly stature and strength,
and as the father is partially disabled
by rheumatism, Cyrus was his chief
involving life Of hard,
incessant labor; on Tuesday afternoon
Cyrus had been chopping wood and at
night complained of severe headache,
eating no supper though usually hear
ty. The father returned home from
Laconia about dark and soon after en-
gagged in conversation with his son.
A difference arose between them con-
corning the value of some wood the
father had been trying to sell. The
latter, accompanied by ayounger boy,
Frank, then went to do the chores. 1t
is supposed Cyrus left the house at
this time, but not noticed. Directly
after groans were heard by both Mr..
and Mrs. Nelson, the first named be-
ing i'll the barn, the latterin the house.
On investigating, Mr.. Nelson soon
found Cyrus lying on the ground in
the orchard about four rods from and
in sight of the house. Speaking to
him as he approached, Mr.. n. got no
answer. He was lying on the right
side, insensible but living. On turn
ing him over his shirt directly over his
heart was found soaked with blood.
Mr.. n. went directly to the house and
told his wife that Cyrus was shot, but
not to be frightened. Taking some
camphor they returned to the orchard,
but Cyrus gasped but twice after their
return to the orchard. A small single
barreled pistol was found clasped in
his right hand as to be almost hidden.
The neighbors were summoned, the
body conveyed to the house and found
to be shot through the lower extremity
Of the heart. Whether it was an ac-
cident or suicide can never be known.

War news for the last two or three
weeks has, on the whole. been rather
uhfavorable to the Turks. Erzeroum
has been taken by the Russians, and
both Plevna and Kars have been close
ly invested. The Turks seem to be
considerably demoralized, while Russia
is elated over successes. 1t is a long
way yet, however, from the plains of
the Danube across to Constantinople.
1t will not be possible to push a very
vigorous campaign during the present
Indictment season and the end of the
conflict therefore can not be expected
for long time yet. Charges of pill
laying, murder and outrage are nu-
merous against both armies, and,
doubtless, Notwithstanding the boosted
enlightenment of the 10Th century. it
is one of the most horrible wars ever
chronicled.

VOICES OF THE DEAD.

The Scientific american contains
the first announcement Of what may
be the most wonderful invention of the
day. Nothing could be more incredi-
bic than the likelihood OF once more
hearing the voice of the dead, yet the
invention of the new instrument is
said to render this possible hereafter.
Ii is true that the voices are stilled,
but whoever has spoken or whoever
may speak into the mouth piece Of the
Photograph, and whose words are re-
corded by it, has the assurance that
his speech may be reproduced audibly
in his own tones long after he himself
has turned to dust. A strip Of in
dented paper travels through a little
machine. the sounds of the latter are
magnifed. and posterity, centuries
hence hear ms as plainly as if we were
present. Speech has become, as it
were. immortal. The american says
The possibilities of the future are not
much more wonderful than those ofthe
present. The orator in Boston speaks,
the indented strip of paper is the tan
gible result; but this travels under
second machine which may connect
with the telephone. Not only is the
speaker heard now in San Francisco
for example, but by passing the strip
again under the reproducer he may be
heard tomorrow, or next year, or next
century. His speech in the first in
stance is recorded and transmitted
simultaneously, and indefinite repeti-
ton is possible.
The new invention is purely mechan-
ical-no electricity is involved. 1t is
simple affair of vibrating plates,
thrown into vibration by the human
voice. 1t is crude yet, but the prin-
ciple has been found, and modifica-
tons and improvements are only a
matter of time. So also are its pos
sibilities other than those already not
ed. viii letter writing be a proceed
ing of the past? Why not, if by sim
ply talking into a mouthpiece our
speech is recorded on paper, and our
correspondent can by the same paper
hear us speak? Are we to have new
kind of books? There is no reason
why the orations of our modern Cice-
ros should not be recorded and de-
tachablv bound so that we can run the
indented slips through the machine,
and in the quiet of our own apart
ments listen again, and as often as we
will, to the eloquent words. Nor are
we restricted to spoken words. Mu-
sic may be crvstallized as well. I'M
agine an opera or an oratorio, sung by
the greatest living vocalists, thus re-
corded, and capable Of being repeated
as we desire.

This is the way that those lamb-like,

says;'

he did not even have the poor excuse
Of Summers dull, stohd, contracted
mind. On the contrary, his mind was
quick, active and powerful, and his
physical ability to carry out the evil
conceptions of that mind were, until
impaired by shameful excesses, fully
equal TO their performance. We will
not waste words over that bad mans
freshly-dug grave. May he find peace
there! But, should occasion demand.
we shall review his life as the Egypt
ians reviewed the lives Of their kings,

forth before the multitude, that those
whom they had outraged during their
days of power might at lease invoke
the vengeance of the internal deities

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it with
out immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all Druggists to recon-
mend it to the poor dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as 49,
600 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such a medicine as the
GERMAN SYRUP cannot be too widely
known. Ask your Druggist about it.

The November elections have re-
suited in much encouragement to such
of the Republican party as were ex-
pecting a tidal wave to sweep them
out of existence. Massachusetts has
offered the greatest surprise by giving
Rice majority larger by Is to q thous-
and than he secured two years ago.
The Republicans carry the COnnecti-
cut legislature by majority of one in
the Senate and 30 in the House, and
in their local contests give indications
of increased strength. The Demo-
Gratis have carried New jersey for
Little Mac" by about ten thousand
majority and hold a majority Of the
State senate. Pennsylvania goes Dem
ocratic by small majority, and, in
regard to it, the language of Ben.
Butler, more forcible than elegant, is

expression is probably in accord with
the majority of the Republican party,
for We really are, none of us, very
proud of the Cameron ring. Wiscon-
sin, Oh hard money platform, goes
Republican. Maryland, under loud
cry Of fraud, goes Democratic by a
large majority, Mississippi democratic,

braska and Minnesota Republican. 1t
