THE wool growers convention opened

THE matter of regulating Interstate
commerce has been considered by Con-
gress for several sessions, but nothing
has been accomplished in the way of
legislation. The committee on COM
merce has adopted a bill, drawn up by
Representative Stewart, who is member
of that committee. Its main provisions
are thus stated by the Boston TrqCeller :;
That national railr ad commission
be established, whose duty it shall be to
see that all charges for transportation
between the States are reasonable. That
they may be kept thus reasonable, the
bill provides that there shall be no dis
eliminating rates in favor of one individ-
ual rs against another for like and con-
temporaneous service; no discrimination
In the facilities for carrying, storing or
handling property; that the service shall
be p rformed with equal expedition, and
that there shall be no interruption to pre-
vent the transportation of property from
being treated as one continuous carriage
from the place of shipment to destima-
ton. 1t also provides that there shall be
no rebates or drawbacks offered one per-
son which, under similar circumstances.
are not allowed to all other persons !;
that the law shall apply to one substan-
TALLY continuous carriage. and that any
railroad company violating the act shall
be liable to the person injured for actual
damages as they shall be proven.

THE progress of reform in England is
Significantly shown by the introduction
into parliament of bill to extend still
further the franchise. 1t was stated by
Mr.. Gladstone in speech on the bill that
the measure, by greatly extending the
franchise, and placing the votes of
boroughs and counties upon an equal foot
ing, would increase the voting power of
the United Kingdom by about 100000.
OF this number England would furnish
100000, Ireland 100000, and Scotland
100000. There are now only about g.
100000 voters in the United Kingdom.
The last reform measure was adopted in
1867 and the last previous one in 1885.

EDITOR DANA of the New York Sun
thinks that &" the strongest Republican
is Edlnunds and next TO him Arthur"
Senator Edmunds fitness for the presi-
dental office is strongly urged by the
most influential Republican journals of
the country; and his strength is increas-
ing. A correspondent of the New York
Times at Albany says that if delegates
from that State had been chosen six
weeks ago, two-thirds of them would
have been for Arthur; now it is doubtful
if he would have over one-third. As indi-
eating Mr.. Edmunds' attitude the follow
ng is published. 1t was written to friend
who sent him a number of newspaper
clippings favoring his nomination for
the presidency: Il am extremely lig-
ed to you for your kind interest and good
wishes. bur l can say with absolute can
dor that have no disposition whatever
to hold the place to which you refer, or
to have my name used in connection
with it. | am none the less grateful,
however, for the good opinion of my
countrymen."

Obituary..
ELIzARErH RUTH STONE.


Miss Elizabeth Ruth Stone, who died at \ihe
seminary in this lace Tuesday morning, Feb. 8,
was native orc clifford, Com, where she was
born April 10, 1870, aud resi- TED during the great
er part of her life. Being an only child and IN
delicate health she was from infancy the object of
most tend n and devoted care. After the close of
the war the family removed to Maryland in the
hope that warmer climate would prove benef-
cial to different members the household. Here
her warm, affeCtionate nature, and her ardent
love Tor the Episcopal church, Of which she was
tor many years n member, won Tor her many
friends But afiletOn followed this change OF
residence and she was called to minister to the
wants OF an aunt through years Of proiracted
suffering and finally to follow her to the grave.
The father was also stricken suddenly with heart
disease, leaving her the care OF her enleebled
mother, who, broken down by repeated Affections,
soon followed the other members Of the family
not, however, until she with her daughter han
returned to her native place and found u home
once more among the friends of her chidhoo I.
In the midst of these repeated and sore bereave-
ments Miss stone was supported 10y an untalter-
ing Htlth in God, and her cheerful submission to
the Divine will under the most trying dispense
tons OF Providence a continual source of
instruction to those who knew hCr best. She hau
for some time entertained strong conviction
that her life was to be of short duration and had
set her house in order preparatory to that event,
ana yet nothing could nave been more unexpect-
Ell than the stroke OF aDoplexy which proved to
her the gateway of the eternal word. Her re-
mains were borne tenderly and sOrrOwfully back

swamps also allowed a good road bed
to be made at much less expense than
as if a snow covering had kept them
unfrozen. The coming of the snow lats
week found the lumbermen in good
shape for hauling logs, and from all
reports received, they have been i'm
proving the opportunity. Toteing
supplies to the camps was also much
easier than in other years. The
roads were hard and smooth, and
heavy loads of supplies were easily
drawn to the camps with wagons.
Many of the main roads were as good
as paved streets. The coming of the
snow has put considerable life into
the cedar business, and considerable
quantities of posts, ties and telegraph
poles have been brought to the city
wharfs.

Trinity Sunday School.

The Christmas exercises of the
Trinity Sunday School took place at
Trinity church last Friday afternoon.
In the evening the Sunday school
children and their teachers and many
friends adjourned to the Opera House.
AT that place there were singing and
recitations, and then bountiful sup
per was given the children at the Ar
mory. 1t was appreciated. When the
children had finished their repast,
they returned to the Opera House,
and enjoyed themselves as only chill
dren can during the Christmas holt
days. Supper was also furnished the
many friends of the school children.
The entire space in the Opera House
was filled with the merry shouting of
the youngsters, in fact the room was
not big enough to hold it all, and con-
siderable escaped outside. These mer.
ry shouts had a great fascinatiopfo
older persons, and it must have brought
memories of their own youthful days
back to them. The Superintendent,
j. G. Comfort, then announced that a
generous individual had made a
Christmas donation to the teachers
of the Sunday school. The curtain
being raised, showed a Christmas tree,
and the teachers were requested to
come forward and receive their Santa
Claus reminders. Mr.. Comfort then
proceeded to take the presents from
the tree, and distribute them, and it
was the means, as no doubt was so in
tended, of giving the children apd
their friends much amusement. The
teachers, however, had no idea what
was coming, but with the first present
displayed, they saw the joke, and en-
tered heartily into the fun. One got
mouth organ, another little doll,
while rattle boxes, jumping jacks,
and such articles were awarded 10
others. The exhibition was much en-
joyed by the children. A very COM
Portable looking chair was then pre-.
sented to r. S. Aris, by his fellow
teachers and the scholars, Rev. ]. A.
