We'll Pleased.

The great majority Of our citizens are
well pleased at the result of the hearing
on the will of the late Abrer Coburn, be-
fore Judge Walton. As matter OF
course there are some who would be glad
to have the will broken. There are in
dividuals who like to have things stirred
up generally regardless Of the means used
or the end attained, and there are few
Of our citizens who would have been
pleased had the prayer Of the petitioners
been granted, but this fraction is very
small.
II has been well said that II Abner CO.
burn had not the right to bequeatb his prop
erty - he saw At, who hsd5 He spent
lifetime In securinga magnificent property
and while so doing aided thousands OF
men and hundreds of business companies
and stood behind scores of important
business enterprises. He was continually
extending the helping hand to men In
hard places, to young men striving for an
education and struggling to get on In the
world, also to public institutions educa-
tional and charitable. He never believed
in an Idle man or an idle dollar and he
kept all he could Of each at work. He
accumulated his large estate by hard work
of hand and brain, by the closest attention
to business, not for year, or ten, or
twenty years, but throughout lifetime.
That . man like Abner Coburn should
not have the right to say how his proper
~ shall be disposed of, accumulated as 1t
was by honest, intelligent, unremitting
toll, Is . proposition without an iota Of
Justice or right in 1t. 70 attempt to deny
that right by pleading legal technicalities
is proceeding that cannotbe too strongly
condemned by fairminded people. Did
the will In any particular cause suffering
to the parties who seek to break 1t, the
case would be different, but 1t does not
and the disturbing of the will would be
nojasting benefit to any one but be Of
great disadvantage to many public and
private interests.
We have confidence that equity will
prevail and right triumph In this case, re-
Eardless Of able and eloquent presentation
of fine points of law and legal bubbles.

If there Is any one next to a travelling
man who has chance to see into the
every day life of people that same one is
canvasser and collector. The dean of
all the canvassers l ever met Is J. V.
Darling now connected with the Indus
trial Journal as travelling correspondent.
Mr.. Darling has had a lifetime Of exper-
fence at canvassing and being of wide
awake temperament has seen something
of the world as he passed .long. He en-
tertained me the other day with his ex-
periences. For twenty years he collected
bills on the Maine Farmer this service
taking him all over the state several times.
In many parts of the state he is as famil-
lar as most of my readers are in their own
school district. He win tell you the in
dustries Of every town In thA state and
the chief characteristics OF every section.
He Is the best posted man on the indus
tries of the state ever met and enjoy
Ell talking with him much. He told me
some of his experiences In collecting
bills. He says 1t Is an easy matter to do
this. to most people, the most disagreea-
BILE of work. Once upon time he ran
across an old cross grained fellow who
bantered him to buy yoke of steers say
Ing shat he would pay the bill II he could
sell his steers. Mr.. Darling bought the
steers paying him the difference between
the purchase price and the bill in money.
Then be drove the steers till he got .
chance to sell them for profit and let
them slide making . good days work out
That's al right" he replied and started

The court gave the greatest latitude to
the hearing and listened with great pa
thence to the exhaustive citations Of au-
thorities, examination of witnesses and
arguments. The petitioners have had
every possible advantage and opportunity
to make out good case.
Thus the petitioners are defeated at
the start but If the law court will not
allow the exceptions and give hearing
the counsel for the petitioners says he will
carry it to an adjoining county aud speaks
in the most positive terms of his ability
to break the will before he gets through
with it. On the other hand the remon-
strants are well satisfied with the aspect
of the case present and prospective.

THE age of economy has begun" said
shrewd clerk in hotel to reporter Few
of the wealthiest men," he continued, use
carriages in going to and from the depots.
They take the street cars and send their
baggage by the cheapest express. Some
years ago nearly al of our customers out of
the city always took q hotel coupe or carriage
both coming and going. 1t only cost them
couple of dollars and that was considered
cheap then for the style they had in the way
of bright and handsome turnout Now
prices are down considerably and many of
the depots can be reached in first class style
double horse carriage) for 81 and 81. so
single passenger. Yet with all these close
scaling, bankrupt prices, the customers
evince an economical desire to take the
street cars. Think of it. Men worth four
and five million seizing their grip-bags and
coming mile or SO for five cents. Such q
thing fifteen and twenty years ago was rarely
done. Even hundred thousand dollar man
disdained to use anything but the carriage
But all this applies principally to men alone.
Ofcourse, with their families they muster
up courage to pay the carriage tariff. Yet l
have known several instances where the en-
tire family went to the depot in the street
car. The elevated railroad takes great
many too, End is, if anything, quicker than
q carriage. Times have changed when mill
ionaires become 80 economical"

India rubber is menaced with rival.
The rubber dealers Of East Nicaragua think
they have discovered tree whose gum will
give as much satisfaction as rubber, and
will, in fact take its place. They say that
the milk of the tuno furnishes most excel
lent gutta-percha, equal to the best found
the Eastern tropics, while the number Of
trees is virtually inexhaustible, and the
gum can be produced with profit at twelve
cents per pound.

The importation of Eastern granite into
st. Lonis puts into shade the old adage as
to taking Goals to Newcastle. The quarries
are on Hurricane Island, Me. Hence the
blocks are shipped to Newport News, in
Virginia, thus traversing the whole Atlantic
Coast. They are then hauled by the Chesa-
peake q Ohio Railroad to Huntington, o.,
and thence towed up the river to st. Louis.
The distance is about thirty times as great
as from the Iron Mountain quarries, and its
delivery here at loss cost than the local
granite is a matter not easily explained.

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
tlammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for q number of years. BY the
advice of a physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in splendid condi-
ton, and am as we'll and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. II.
For number of years was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until / commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected q complete cure, and 1
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
fiers. &C. f. Upton, Nashua, N. Fl.
From childhood, and until with few
months, have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. L have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it
great blood purifier. - Mrs. q. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
L suffered for year with infiamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving mo of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, Twas final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of infiamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
I. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was affiict-
Cd with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of a friend / purchased bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. - w. Il. Suther-

pulent; but he didn't wish TO live like the
primitive Quakers or butchers, or bakers,
or candlestick makers, but in a fine brown
stone surrounded by statues, and set In a
lawn OF some forty-seven acres.
applause for dear clothing was not worth the
winning, he desired no wardrobe OF purple
and linen; but he didn't wish to go attlred
like sailor, or dress In a uniform suit like
1aIlor, and all that he wished was some
two dozen changes made up in good style
by fashionable tailor.
ne wished no rich yiands to gladden. his peptics,
or to eoddle his stomach like chronic dys-
peptics; but he wished cuisine and a
French cook TO cater, professional expert,
no commonplace waiter, no statuesque,
boarding house, imbecile bungler to scatter
his chaos Of pie and potato.
He wished no small army Of liveried dependents,
no uniformed lackeys and crlnging attend
ants; but he didn't wish to live like a her
init or miser, but in plentiful leisure as bet
ter and wiser; and some twenty servants
and forty good walters would make life
worth living for him and Eliza.

The Philadelphia Ledger.
Philadelphia Times.l


Twenty years ago the public was startled
by the announcement in The Public
Ledger that Mr. George w. Childs had pur-
chased that newspaper from Mr.. Swain and
would thenceforth be its publisher and pro-
prietor The considerationpa paid was $3.50, 900,
and when it is considered that The Ledger
was then losing scores Of thousands annu-
ally, the amount was large; but Mr. Swain
had founded the successful penny press Of
this city; he had grown old in penny jour
nalism, and he could not advance with the
progress Of the age Mr.. Childs brought
young blood, broad business intelligence and
tireless energy to his task, and the news
paper that he bought for $50, 900 twenty
years ago, now pays $500. 900 annual profit,
and is the most permanent newspaper prop
erty in the United States.
Soon after purchasing The Ledger, Mr..
Childs announced that the price was ad-
vanced from 1 to 2 cents per copy. The
paper on which that announcement was
made was thin, dirty in color, brittle and
would now be regarded as a poor quality of
wrapping paper; but it cost % cents pound,
and that imposed loss of 81, 900 or g, 900 a
week upon The Ledger. Now Mr.. Childs
has nearly doubled the size of The Ledger,
prints it on excellent paper, and instead of a
loss of 81, 200 or more a weak, it clears that
much every day. The brood, enduring
foundation of its success is its entire relia-
bility in all its departments, and in that it
reflects the ripe business judgment and quail
tiles of its successful publisher.
