The performance of District Attorney Eel
lows in the proceedings against Gould and
Sage are not wholly what could be desired in
a public prosecutor. After the public prod
ding which he received from the attorneys
of the aggrieved Kansas-Pacifc bondholders
he carried the matter Of the trust funds
before Recorder Smyth. but instead of NOV
ing that it be brought before the grand jury
went into long explanation. Recorder
Smyth reminded him that he was no. there
to listen to explanations but must have
motion to act on. This forced the appar-
entity reluctant District Attorney to make the
motion. 1t was charged at the time of Fell
lows's election that he was the candidate of
the boodlers. His performances in this case,
unless the New York papers misrepresent,
are calculated to give color to these charges.
The Waterville Sentinel is informed that
many Winslow people are positive that the
young man employed in Winsow in 1877 was
one George Snow. and not the ubiquitous
Charles Stain. They think the confusion
comes from the fact that one Of Stains
aliases was Frank Snow, As the PRESS has
before said this testimony of the Winslow
people must be carefully sifted and weighed
before any predictions on account of it can
be safe. This much may be said. however,
in relation to the theories Of the Winslow
people quoted by the Sentinel: They ignore
entirely the statement Of Mrs. Lamb, who
not only harbored young Stain, but was
made the recipient Of some of his marvellous
stories about the "Stain gang" Of Medfeld.
Frank Snow could not have dtne that, prob
ably, as without doubt Charles Stain in his
own speciality is not approached by any
othey young man in New England.

Immediately to take Ayers Cherry

Several years ago, James Birchard, of
Darien, Conn, was severely i'll. The
doctors said he was in Consumption,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised him, as last resort, to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three months, he
was pronounced well man. His health
remains good to the present day.
J. s. Bradley, Maiden, Mass, writes
"Three winters ago took a severe cold,
which rapidly developed into Bronchitis
and Consumption. I was SO weak that
I could not sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed necessarily. / consulted
several doctors, but they were power

a Cure for Wakefnlness.

Many middle aged man who is in the
habit of going to bed after eating hearty
meal is puzzled when he finds himself waking
up in the small hours of the morning, day
after day, and unable to get to sleep again.
He knows that this wakefulness is unnatural,
but it never occurs to him that it is due to
his stomach. 1t took me several years, dur
ing which lost months of sleep, to find this
out, but now l know it, If the victim of in
Somnia whom have described will rise from
his bed when he wakes and drink pint of
water he will go to sleep again Immediately,
and will not wake again until his ordinary
hour.-Maj E. S. Foster in Globe Democrat

IF WAR BREAKS OUT.

Probable Effects of q European War-O1
Advantage to America.
If war breaks out it is inevitable that there
must be a great fall. Russia by great war
would be almost inevitably rendered bank
rupt, and a reputation by Russia would in.
f1ict terrible losses, not only upon the Russian
people, but upon German and other investors.
Then. again, the outbreak of great wal
would not improbably cause panic upon the
Berlin bourse, and possibly also upon that OF
Paris Lastly, it is to be recollected that
were great war to break out the govern.
ments engaged in it would be obliged to ISSUE
very large loans. If the war lasted long
other loans would be issued in quick success
sion the national debts of Europe would in.
crease enormously, and thus one Of the grea.
causes tending to raise prices would be
stopped; the supply of securities would be
immensely augmented all at once, while the
growth of wealth would be checked.
Wealth, of course, would continue to grow
in the countries that avoided war, and also
in the countries which themselves were not
made the theatre of war, and which had not
too large a proportion of their male popula-
ton in the field; but along with this growth
of wealth there would also be a great de
struction of weaRA. At the very time, there
fore, in which securities were being most rap
idly manufactured there would be great
check to the growth of wealth. There must
inevitably, therefore, be a fall in prices; and
if the war were protracted the fall might be
considerable, and the recovery would be long
delayed.
There might be an exception in favor Of
American railroad securities. Even in them
there would be fall at first but probably
they would recover quickly-first, because g
great war in Europe would increase the de
mand for American produce; secondly, be
cause there would be tendency to send capital
out of the belligerent countries to the neutral
countries for safe keeping and for invest
ment; and, thirdly, because the population
and wealth of the United States themselves
growing so rapidly that the home demand fol-
securities is vast, while American investors
rarely invest their money in securities OF
foreign governments, and they would not be
likely to be tempted at a time when those
foreign governments were exhausting their
resources and running their prospects in ter
rible way.-London Saturday Review.

Charity Entertainment In Paris.

EVERYTHING that brains and ingenuity car
suggest is being done to raise money for the
sufferers from the floods in the south. Be.
sides establishing headquarters in all direc.

devising forms of entertainment for Their
benefit Every taste is considered, and it is
safe to predict that before the clever people
interested in the fund have finished every one
who has money to contribute viii have given

The entertainment par excellence thus fan
for this fashionable charity is the grandes

Palais de rIndustrie, and supposed to repre-

of the people Of the south. Artistic or cele.
brated buildings and structures of the south

famous bridge or a picturesque wall there;
chalets and cottages scattered about give q

mistaken Ideas of the Editor.

Some people seem to think that the editor
of country newspaper ought to be sort of
clown, give open air performances in the
streets, tell long yarns, say smart things,
laugh at all he sees and hears, and be a sort
of center figure everywhere he goes. In
other words, he must be regular bootlicker,
think just like you do, nod sanction to all
you say, beg everyone he meets to take his
little paper, play the hypocrite in a thousand
ways and live on wind.-Baxley (Ga.) Ban

lodging a bullet and wrestling the revolver
from the intimidator. He then occupied the
space of several minutes in thrashing his as

TO A SEA SHELL.

What is the message you whisper to me
Oh rosy-ljpped she'll from beside the sea!
| list to your murmurs and long to know
The secrets of ocean that lie below;
Do you tell of the cleaning coral caves
Or gems that are slumbering meath the
waves?
Is thy ceaseless echo repeating DER
The slow lulling sound otthe wave-washed
shore,
Or soft southern breezes laden with balm,
That cross the deep from the land Oh the
palm:
Or is it the thrilling and mournful tone
That rises and falls in the tide low moan?
I eagerly listen, and strive to break
Through the tangled web that time echoes
make;
list for one voice, like a golden thread
That winds through the sound-mlst so
lightly shed,
But all in yain-l catch never word,
And thy whispered message remains IN
heard.
Perhaps mortal ears are too dull and cold
For the dream-like music thy depths
enfold;
Yet I know by thy rosy, glowing heart
Where the tender bushes never depart
Thy story is sweet whatever it be-
And lovely thy theme, oh shell OF the sea.
