"MTs. BARBARA TEMPLE-THE MISSES TEN
PIE"
Something like forty years ago there fell
vacant Mt the other end of this town large
house with a spacious and splendid garden.
Its original proprietor had lived in it for sixty
years, and being man of great wealth and
fine taste he had transformed what was once
a comfortable family residence into mansion,
filled with all Injuries, and surrounded with
green houses, hot houses, wineries, stables,
coach houses and all the other appurtenances Of
grand house. File died, and his hundreds Of
thousands ran Off III golden river of good
luck to a nephew in the north of England
who had his own estate Immediately the
question was asked in our little provincial set
"Who will take the Beechesg' for by that
simple name the mansion was known. Every
body WINS afraid Of the Beeches: afraid OF its
gilded rooms its noble halls, its green houses
hot houses, wineries, stables and coach houses
aforesaid afraid of its splendid traditions

parison with the former Owner-a poor sickiy

lord at the head of his table, such Judge of

too; such an expert in gardeners and cooks,
our town of Kettlewell never saw before
and was never likely to see again. So the
great bouse stood vacant month after month.
and year after year, haunted by no ghosts OK

tbssd seem to glide through the vast damp

WOODSTOCK, Ills, May S-The region be-

in this tMcHenryl county, about ten miles
from Woodstock, was visited by a cyclone,
Thursday afternoon, which resulted most
disastrously to farmers in the small territory
where the fury of the wind spent itself Three
persons were killed outright, others were seri-
ously injured, and the destruction to prop
erty was proportionately large At noon the
air was clear and warm. and by O'Clock it
had become sultry. An hour later the sky
to the north began growing dark and
threatening, and in a few moments the sui
try atmosphere was relieved by blast of
cold air, the mercury falling
several degrees IN remarkably
short tiIhe Tim northern clouds grew
biacker and moved southwark, and the lull
which had followed the first cool breeze
was suddenly broken by the roar of the
cyclone. Trees bent before the blast like
grain and the smaller ones were snapped in
pieces or twisted from the earth by the
roots The air was filled with flying limbs,
pieces OF boards, and other objects
A frame barn in process Of erection re-
ceived the full force of the cyclone. -Four
men were working on it at the time, two be-
ing on the roof and two On the second floor
The barn was lifted from its foundation,
turned half round, and then worked into a
mass Of broken joists, beams, and boards
The two men who were on the roof were
hurled a distance of thirty feet or more and
were dead when found. One of the men
who was inside was crushed to death under
the timbers, and the fourth was badly
bruised A number of people in the neigh
borhood were severity injured by being
struck by heavy objects carried against
them by the wind

THE RIGHT TO MAKE \ LIVING

The New York World in commenting
on the excellent addresses made by Rev.
DIR. ,IcGlynn in New York city, has this
thought embodied that people often over
look when thinking Of unemployed labor
and poverty in large cities:
The Rev DR.. McGlynn's eloquent and
humane plea for the weak, the poor and
the unfortunate of the earth, as published
in the World, has justly attracted wide
attention. To the most of his utterances
every humane heart will give swift and
warm response. There is, however, always
danger of misconception from half-truths
and cancellations.
DR.. MCGlynn declared that 1t is bias
phemy to say that man shall not live on
the land And reaiirming the prime
necessity OF work he said, If men can not
find work to do it is because there is some
thing wrong; something comes between
them and the opportunity to work But
is it wrong, much less 4 blaSphemy' tC
say that if men will cOngregate in great
cities, where there is not square rod o.
land for each inhabitant, they cannot live
on the land?' IL it is land that men want
why do they not 90 where the land IS
1t is the same, in measure, with work
The thing that comes between men and
the opportunity to work is most frequent
~ the over-supply of labor at particular
pOint all the population of New fors
State should concentrate in and around
this city nothing would come between
them and the opportunity to work whicl
any constitution, or law, or scheme to
land-oecupancy could remedy. A bette
distribution of labor and a wider distribu
ton of its products of labor are what l.
needed. Natural laws will in time nc
cOmplish the former. The unshackling o
trade and the unhandicapping Ofmanutac
lures can alone secure the latter

But the signs of the times utter warning

A WARNING TO DISCRIMINATING
RAILROADS.

RAILROADS.
The annual convention of the Farmers
Alliance is now in session IN Chicago. This
organization has 500, 900 members and the
membership is rapidly increasing. At a
meeting on Thursday the evils Of railroad
monopoly were discussed. 1t was shown
that in many sections the farmers profits
were almost entirely absorbed by diserimi-
mating railroads Where railroads have
had the power, it WAS stated that they in
many cases put the freight charges just rs
high as they could possibly be placed
without stopping all production and eX-
port by the farmers. owing to this great
wrong to the farmer, whose profits are
small enough under the most suspicious
circumstances, and come by the hardest
kind of knocks. it was advocated by the
President of the Farmers Alliance that the
Government assume control of railroads.
Governmental control of railroads is one
plank in the platform of the new Labor
party. And when the same principle is
urged in so conservative 4 body Us the
Farmers Alliance, it ought to serve as a
warning to railroad kings. 1t won't do to
say that all advocacy of this principle is
nothing but the claptrap of cracks and
socialists, and let discriminating railroad
mOnopolies iilch from the farmer or pro-
ducer OF wealth Of any kind, his lard
earned dollars.
This isa government of the people. The
country belongs to the people The man
who raises flocks and herds, cultivates the
soil or produces any kind of wealth
has a right to it. Now, we believe it
would be bad thing for the government
already complex enough, to be rendered
more complex and loaded with greater bur
dens by assuming control of railroads. But
If railroad mOnOpOlieS are so unjust rs to
appropriate the earnings Of the people to
themselves, the question may come before
the voters of the country: which is the
worse evil, to have the burdens of the gov
eminent increased by assuming control of
railroads, or to allow mOnopOlistic railroads
to rob the people by unjust discrimina-
tion9 Ifeyer the question comes up, and
it now seems very probable that it will,
the people will decide it just As they
think best.
The people of West Virginia have for
wears known what railroad discrimination
is, and they are getting tired oft, So are
people in many other States. This I'M
Just system has been one Of the things that
has kept West Virginia in the background.
There has been little encouragement for
any one to settle in West Virginia, because
the man who produces anything has to
