THAT success inspires envy and disbN-
est competitor Is we'll known. The forcs Of
this must have often occurred TO the
Charles A. Vogeler Co., OF Baltimore.
Last year in London, Eng, an unscrupu-
lous dealer sought to place u So called "St.
David's" Oil In tho market on the strength
Of the great popularity of the Vogeler
Co.'s "pt. Jacobs" Oil. Thanks to En-
glsh law, the high court of justice prompt
ly issued q perpetual injunction against
tho defendant aud imposed heavy dam
ages. Some years ago the U. $. Court at
Cleveland, O., In q similar case awarded
this Baltimore house $1,000 damages. The
Charles A. vogelcr Co. has again been
called upon 10 dofond Its rights and has
recently instituted suit In the Circuit
Court of Baltimore city for injunction and
damages. No doubt tho best evidence Of
tho marvellous efficacy Of "St. jacobs
Oil" Is TO DO found in the many unsuccoss-
full attempts to trade upon It's reputation.

Nice Work Can Not lie Done with Dull
Flows or other Dull Tools.
How often WI see n farmer trying to
plow with a dull pillow, or dragging over
the ground with a harrow, the teeth So
dull that 1t Is a heavy drag to the team.
while the work done is Of the poores,
quality. Or another one cutting whea,
or meadow with a reaper or mower SO
dull that Il Is not only II heavy load. bu,
more or less grain OF grass Is left be.
cause tho sickle Is too dull TO cut H. 1t
costs but little TO sharpen any Of the
farm implements, while the improved
quality OF the work done will more than
pay for the difference in a short time.
while added to this is the saving Of labor
both to men and teams. You can not
do rs smooth. nice blowing with n dull
pillow, or work the soil into as fine n filth
with dull harrow teeth. or save all the
wheat or oats In q field when YOU ARE
cutting with the sickle dull. In either
case the expense Of sharpening can be
made up in a half days work. And II
Is n false idea Of economy that induces
the farmer to keep working with a dull
implement under the idea that he is
saving a little by putting of having
them sharpencd. And the same rule
holds good with the small garden tools.
You can not do fast or efficient work
with dull hoes or rakos. II takes but
few minutes to sharpen either, aud you
can work with much more cas- and do
considerable more work In the SAME
length Of time than will fully make ~
for the time required TO sharpen up the
tools. Take n little pains to sharper
and brighten up the tools and see how
much easier and better the work will b
done. -Koms and Farm.

AID FOR GALVESTON.
Help Rapidly Flowing in, but the
Needy are Numerous.

GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. 19-Contribu-
tons continue to flow III for the relief of
the fire sufferers. The total amount sub
scribed thus far reaches S95, 500, of which
ST., 800 has been relieved. The relief COM
mittee reports tonight that it
has received 6S7 applicants, representing
about twenty-five thousand people. The
assembly of the Knights of Labor address
communication to the Associated Press
this evening, indorsing Mayor Fulton's
proclamation OF yesterday morning, and
warning artisans and laborers not to seek
Galveston at present in expectation of Sc
curing employment. The committee of
clergymen appointed by the mayor to act
in conjunction with the citizens relief com
mittee to-day issued an appeal for aid, in
which they say:
The general losses of our people are far be-
yond first conceptions. For months distress
will largely prevail. Whatever help q SYM
pathizing public sees fit to send will be CRATE
fully received.
The Odd Fellows of Galveston request the
papers to publish the names of Thomas M.
Joseph, r. l.. Sherrard and 1. G. Levy as
the committee duly appointed to receive con-
tributions from brother lodges for the bene-
fit of Odd Fellows who are suffering from
the fire. The Fire Insurance association of
London, the heaviest loser by the fire,
cabled its agency here to-day:

Canadian Pacific.

A gentleman connected with the Cana
dian Pacific road, who has just returned
from trip over it to the Pacific coast, says
the condition of the road is good, but there
are many things to be done before the
through service can be inaugurated. There
are station buildings, tanks, turn tables and
thousand and one things to be provided.
1t an attempt was made to run without
them the certain results would be delay,
and possibly disaster. About the middle of
May next regular trains will be run
through. The contracts for rolling stock are
all to be completed by May 1. The actual
terminus will be at Burret inlet. The
whole south side of the inlet, from Port
Moody to and including English bay, will
be utilized for terminal purposes. The
nature of the water, which deepens rapidly
on leaving the shore, will necessitate the
erection of docks all along the south shore.
Manufacturing will probably be carried on
at the head of the inlet The first wharves
will be built on Coal harbor, and English
bay will be attended to next. The present
idea is to put on steamers to run direct
from Burret inlet to Victoria, and others
to run from the inlet to Nonaimo. A rail-
way ferry is hardly practicable. Sleeping
cars will be run through and dining cars to
a point east of the Rocky mountains from
Winnipeg. The trains will be so timed as
to pass through the grandest scenic parts of
the country in daylight, and observation
cars will be put ON for the mountain Sec
ton and hotels will be established at GER

SUICIDE OF A JUDGE.
He Wanders Away While Imsan
and Takes Laudanunp.

Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, Nov 19.-Alden S.
Sanborn. judge of the Dane county probate
court, was found dead in the woods a mile
outside of the city limits this afternoon by
boys hunting. The officials were in
formed. They found lauda-
mum bottle in his pocket, the
contents of which had been taken. He has
been laboring under slight arrangement of
the brain at times for number of years, or
since si the accidental drowning of his son in
the lake near home. A year ago
he wandered to the Mendoza asylum,
five miles from the city. and as
county judge ordered the authorities to
take care of him. He was kept there some
months and returned to his office. He has
wandered off for short periods for
the past two or three months, his
work being performed by a deputy.
He was missed last Tuesday. His friends,
thinking he had gone to friends in the
country or perhaps to the asylum, were
about to telephone to the latter place when
the boys made their report. There
is no doubt that he committed
suicide. He was just past 65 years
OF age, was born in Vermont, was treasurer
OF Milwaukee county in 1S49, district attor-
ney of both Brown and Outagamie
counties, served several terms in the
assembly from the district of Dane
county from that city, was district
attorneyo of the city and afterward mayor.
He lost his wife some years ago through in
sanity. Upon marrying his servant girl his
family became broken up. He leaves sew
eral daughters and son in the Northwest
ern insurance office at Milwaukee.

ParsOn Downs Fired.
Special to the Globe.


BOsToN, Nov. 19.-At meeting of the
Bowdoin Square Baptist society to-day it
was voted to indefinitely close the church as
a place of worship, and also voted to expel
Rev. w. wv. Downs from the pastorate.
The object is to get rid of Rev.
W. W. Downs and the flock which
follows him. Mr.. Downs cannot be
expelled from the pastorate until convicted
of moral misdemeanor or heretical preach
ing. Furthermore a majority of the church,
in distinction from the society, support the
pastor. Mr.. ButterwOrth, counsel for Pas
tor Downs, expresses the opinion that the
meeting this afternoon was illegal.
About two hundred of Pastor Downs
friends met at his horse tonight, and after
presenting him with $40 organized new
society, to be called the Home Missionary
society, and took up the cause of the pastor
as its first work. These people are
thoroughly organized, and state their deter
minatlon. now that Mr.. Downs is expelled
from the Bowdoin Square church, to build
new one. For the present they will hold
meetings in some hall, beginning next
Monday,

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.

The statement that the president has de-
ternined to assume a more independent
and aggressive policy regarding relations
between this country and foreign nations
will meet with general satisfaction. Too
long has the United States been regarded
by other governments as neither worthy the
consideration extended nations intrinsically
much less important nor possessing the in
clnation to enforce proper hearing of just
demands. Even puny Ecuador thought it
for long time but trifiing matter
when our state department was demanding
the release of SANTOS, and only consented
to give him up in order to save large ex-
pense, not through fear of any aggressive
measures on the part of this country, whose
navy, the polite editors of the Ecuadorian
newspapers informed US would only be a
plaything to them. There is an er-present
danger of International complications, in
which the government of the United States
can only acauit itself with credit, if directed
by vigorous policy, supported by a navy
large enough to enforce, if necessary, for
reasonable demands, due considera ton.
Only By the most skillful manipulation has
