The sudden and remarkable growth
of the roller skating pastime has Gre
ated a constantly-increasing demand
for a certain size of lockwood for rollers,
and where eighteen months ago ton
of three-inch wood brought $50 it is
now impossible to buy ton for $12O.
The price has trebled in less than a
year. At the present rate of consump-
ton the world be practically exhausted
of its lockwood in less than twelve
months, unless some equally cheap and
durable substitute is found to take it's
place. Boxwood grows in Persia and
Turkey, is of very slow growth, and in
it's native country stringent timber
laws restrict the depletion of the grow
ing trees. Roller-skate manufacturers
have tried rubber, celluloid vulcanized
fibres, and compressed paper as sub
stitute for lockwood rollers, but for one
reason or another they have proved
unsatisfactory. Dog-wood, apple, pep
peridge, laurel, lignum-vite have also
been tried.
"SHE ALWAYS MADE HOME HAPPY" g"
Such was the brief but impressive
sentence which friend wished to add
to an obituary notice of one "who had
gone before"
What better tribute could be offered
to the memory of the loved and lost?
Eloquence with her loftiest eulogy-
poesy with her most thrilling dirge,
could afford nothing so sweet so touch
ing, so suggestive of the virtues of the
dead, as those simple words, ''She al
ways made home happy"

Fence painting, and flooding the
mails with circulars and postal cards
are some of the forms of advertising
which disgust more people than they
attract, and even when effective, are
very wasteful mode of reaching the
public.
In the selection of a proper medium
manypoints ofvalue might be taken in
to consideration by yadvertisers. News
papers which are not respected and
faithfully read are not good mediums
for advertisers. Newspapers that are
purchased to while away a half hour
on streetcar or elevated railway, and
are not carried home do not sell any
body's wares.
The experience of enterprising and
sagacious business men demonstrates
that the best results attend advertis-
ing in home newspapers-those go into
families and are read by one after an
other in the home circle e-NetU York

Mighty is the force of motherhood!
1t transforms all things by its vital
heart; it turns timidity into false cour-
age, and dreadless defiance into trem-
ulous submission; it turns thoughtless-
ness into foresight, and yet still all
self-denial into calm content.

The Coming Storm,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The committed
appointed by the Republicans last session
to decide upon the action that the Repub-
lican majority should take in regard to COLI
frmatiOns will probably make their report
tomorrow. 1t consists of Edmonds, ALI
son, Hale, Spooner end Harrison. Allison
favors the combinations in all cases where
no good reason can be found for Directing.
Edmunds believes in drawing the line upon
the tenure-of-ofice act, and is refusing to
confirm any Democrat whose Republican
predecessor had not served out his term.
Where removals have been made for often
sive partisanship, he would rgidly in
vestigate the new incumbent's political
record and. if 1t should be proven that q
Republican partisan was succeeded by a
Democratic partisan, he would object to the
latter's confirmation. 1t is understood that
the rest of the committee, with the eXcep-
ton of Allison, take the same view. The
rumor of last summer that SEN
ator Logan would oppose the
confirmation of Postmaster Judd OF
Chicago is again afloat. Logan is said to
have numerous extracts from the Chicago
Tribune files of 1861 going to show that
MI. Judd was member of the organization
known as the Sons of Liberty during thai
period. EX-Postmaster Palmer of Chicago
was in the city to-day in consultation with
Gen. Logan.

NEWSPAPER INDEPENDENCE

While President CLEVELAND is success
as reformer he is also occasionally good
subject for reform. An illustration of this
was found in the presidents attempt to
snub Editor PULITZER some time ago be-
cause the World had the independence to
criticize the administration whenever it
thought criticism was just. But it is graft
flying to observe that the president can
practice what he breaches, for while he is
making herculean efforts to reform the
civil service he, himself, tumbles to
the reform influence whenever it
comes his way. When the pres j.
dent learned that an executive
snubbing did not decrease the circulation
nor diminish the influence of great news
paper, he promptly made atonement for
his mistake. When Mr.. PULITZER went
to Washington to take his seat in congress
he was the first man the president hunted
out from among all the celebrities who
gather at the national capital at this sea-
son, and the next thing we heard of was
that the lately snubbed. editor was dining at
the White house. Having thus made pub
lie confession of his error the president is
entitled to absolution. But the moral of it
all is that the newspaper editor who follows
strictly in the line of conscientious duty,
without regard to the favor of magnates, is
a greater man than the president of the
United States.

PRESIDENTIAL PROLIxJTY.

In the GLOBES interviews with people of
St. Paul in an endeavor to obtain public
opinion of the presidents message it is
singular to observe how many of them had
not read it. And yet it is not fact excep-
tional to st. Paul that compar atively few
people read these state papers. 1t is so
everywhere. People are too busy to take
time to wade through eighteen or twenty
columns Of closely printed matter to obtain
questions, even though that man be the
chief magistrate of the nation. They prefer
to do, just as prominent business man in
this city says he did, wait to see the editor
ial comments of the newspapers, believing
that they would give as correct conclusions
as could be drawn from their own read
ing. In this busy age people have not
time to do what they pay other people to
do for them. ProliXity is an unfortunate
weakness with American statesmen. Our
presidents could very well afford to take
Queen VICTORIA as model in delivering
state addresses. When the presidents get
their inaugurals and annual messages
whitfield down to the length of the queens
special on the opening of parliament
they will be more generally read. Just
imagine the effect it would have have upon
the country if Mr. EvARTs should ever be
so unfortunate as to be elected president.
The entire American people would have
to take vacation the three weeks he
would be delivering his inaugural

Crushed in a Sewer.

AKRON, O., Dec 9.-Late this afternoon
sewer in process of construction caved in,
burying seven laborers, four of whom were
crushed to death and the three others in
jured SO badly that they will probably die.
The cave occurred without moments
warning. The ground, which had been
frozen for two or three days, was softened
by thaw. Three of the men were stand
ing on scaffolding and the four others at
the bottom of the sewer, which had been
excavated to the depth of twenty-five feet.
Suddenly the timberS began cracking, and
the water-soaked earth, for distance of
twenty feet on each side of the sewer,
rolled down upon the workmen. William
McGill, one of the men on the Scaffold, eS-
capped, but all the others were caught by
the mass of timbers. A great crowd of
people soon assembled. The groans of the
men who were but partially buried, were
heart-rending. They called for assistance,
but for some time no one would venture
near the hole. Finally large force of men
was set to work with shovels, and in half
an hour two of the victims were taken out
They were yet alive. but in terrible agony.
Another hour of digging brought them to
third man, whose groans had guided the
rescuing party. Near him was found the
body of fourth man, dead. it being appar-
ent at that time that the others were dead
the search was abandoned for the night
The list of killed and wounded is as fol-
lows:
MAX ROsENWEG, age 81, single, dead.
HENRY FRIGERT, dead.
Two unknown Italians, dead.
JOHN WYKOFF, married, chest and abdo-
men crushed and leg broken; will die.
HENRY WALTER, age 35, married; legs
crushed and scalp whund; may recover.

Remarkably Close,

LONDON, Dec. 9.-Seven parliamentary
seats remain to be declared. The Liberals
count upon obtaining three of these seats.
which would raise their total to 334, against
1886 Conservatives and Nationalist. A re-
port, which is believed in the Liberal
clubs. is current to the effect that Gladstone
had decided to seize the first chance to GUST
the Conservatives. He is said to be
eager for office, proposing to conclude his
public life with the production
of homerule measure for
Ireland. Mr.. Bradlaugh has entered into
negotiations with the Liberal leaders He
proposed not to present himself at the bar
of the house of commons to take the oath
of office at the opening of
parliament, provided the Liberals
will introduce and support bill allowing
the members elect to affirm instead of TAX
il the oath. The number of members of
the new house of commons never befors
elected to parliament is 1892. This has had
no parallel since the first parliament
under the reform bill in 1882.
Mr.. F. A. Charmag, Liberal
who has been elected in Northamptonshire,
was born in America and is a grand nephew
of Rev. William Ellery Charming The
Daily News anticipates that the Liberals
wilt await the declaration Of Lord Sails
bury's program before taking any action.

THE BREAKERS AHEAD.

AS Mr.. VANDERBILT had to die it was
providential for the country that his death
was unexpected. A lingering illness would
have started the bulls and the bears to work
on the market. and in their mad specula-
ton schemes there is no telling what tinan-
cial disasters would have followed. As it
is, yesterday in Wall street demonstrated
that Notwithstanding the excitement which
followed the sudden death Of Mr.. WANDER
BILT there was no serious disturbance in
the market. A depression occurred at the
opening OF the market, but it proved to be
only temporary, and the market closed
firm The sudden death of JAY GOULD
would have produced more com.
| motion than Mr.. VANDERBILT's death.
| GOULD has not the wealth which WANDER
BII.T possessed, but he was more of a spec
ulator and carried more irons in the fire at
one time 1t will be fortunate if Mr..
GOULD will retire permanently from Wall
street. The death of VANDERBILT will
probably have the effect of confirming him
in his present purpose to do so. 1t would
be still better if our conditions were such
that no one man could attain SO much
power in business and financial circles as
GOULD and VANDERBILT have enjoyed.
The accumulation of such vast fortunes are
the breakers upon which our American in
situations will yet be wrecked.
