An exchange pronouuces the statement that
an attempt to break the will of the late Alb

petition to the Supreme Court of Somerset
county, relative to breaking the will, which

that the will was suppressed, not allowed to

the will, being all citizens of Skowhegau, and
one stakeholder in Coburn Hall, to which

The Railway Whistle.

Massachusetts is leading the way in
bringing about most benehcent re-
form-the abatement OF locomotive
whistling. For many years the rail-
road commissioners have urged the
feasibility and desirability of restrict
ing the use of the whistle. They
held that by frightening horses It
probably caused as many accidents
as it saved, not to SPEAK OF the deaths
resulting from loss of sleep in cases of
illness where the invalid's house is
near the track, and further argued
that the value of the warning as
district signal of danger is greatly
diminished by the Understandable use
A dozen years ago the managers of the
Boston and Albany railroad one of
the most important in the state, were
converted to this view, and discons
tinued the use of the whistle except
as a danger signal. Experience las
shown no increase in the +um Der of
accidents, while the comfort of dwell
ers along the line has been greatly
promoted. The success of this exper>
iment led to the passage by the last
les lslature OF a law TO restrict the use
of The whistle at street crossings. A
petition by citizens of Lawrence for
the application of this law in their
city was recently heard by the COM
misioners, and they have just exer-
cised their Discretionary power by
giving orders to prevent whistling at
certain specified crossings in thickly
settled quarters The commissioners
at the same time reccomend the COM
panies to discontinue the use of the
whistle as a signal for switches, and
as a means Of communication from
one employee TO another, on the
ground that the practice is needless
and "a inexcusa Bile annoyance to tn
public. The Importance OF this
movement, not only as means OF
comfort, but as sanitary measure,
can not easily be exaggerated.

Making Haste to Be Rich.

The agricultural chances in this
country never were better than now
the railroads are rather at the mercy
of the producers; the society in much
of the south is perfectly settled, and
in the present depression the lands can
be bought cheaply, and are good in
vestments for those willing TO wait.
The demon in our economy is the idea
that we all ought to bs made rich in
ten years. The ten years is the limit
OF mans eudeavars. With this CON
viction, nevertheless. no man ever
stops working in this country. He
cheats himself with a lie aud then
forgets the cheat. Hardly any Ameri-
can does not believe that he is gong
to get rich and stop little ways in
advance of him, and none of them
were ever known to stop.
