AN INTERESTING MATTER,

AN INTERESTING MATTER,
and one that concerns US
only, was to be discussed
as YOU remember, when
we were alone and could
arrange our affairs to suit
ourselves
Now that our Wedding
Day is settled, and as it
pIeases us both to have it
kept from the world, for
the present, we will do SO.
And now, dearest, while
as you know my circum-
stances are not the BEST
our prospects are encour-
aging, and the matter OF
housekeeping is the first
to be considered. ] have
been giving the question
a good deal of thought,
you know, and on the
quiet, have got pretty
well posted on prices, and
find that without dimin-
ishing my bank account
in the least, ! can ar
range to entirely furnish
our cottage by simply
making a comparatively
small payment at the
start, and at stated in
tervals pay in such a way
as to suffer no inconven-
fence.
She---But, my dear,
won't you have to pay
more than the interest
you receive?
He--No. I have found
by careful investigation,
that when | have deter
mined to buy, goods can
be purchased at less cost
and trouble, even when
payments are made as ]
have stated, than is pos
SibIe elsewhere, not ex-
cepting Boston, where
your father recently
bought a range and paid
SIS more than he would
have to pay for the same
range here. lhave a list
and you can see. There!
IQuaker Range and 20
pieces of ware, pipe and
zinc, $4,000; your father
paid $500 for the same
range, but as he is con-
nected with the boat, he
saved the SO cents
freight, and I suppose
the satisfaction Pained
on account of its coming
from 3 . s TON was
worth $3.50 to him, but
not to me. So on through
the list. Another advan-
tage gain in buying
where | propose is, as
near as am able to learn
every nameable thing can
be purchased, which will
save a vast amount OF
running around, and, the
best of all is, the finest
qualities as well as other
grades are to be had,
and as l have decided to
make partial payments,
adaptabiIity and econo-
my shall be paramount to
everything. Now want
you to go with me tomor-
row evening to the Akin
son House Furnishing Co
and select the things. ]

saw, and know you will be
delighted with the pat

the immense stock from
which to select. Say
nothing as to where you
are going. AS long as
there.are none concerned
about US it is better to
not burden them with our
plans. We will see if we
cannot keep our affairs
better than others have
done before us. Secrets
are asy to keep if one
knows how to use a little
discretion.

alone tonight, there is SO
much to say, and only
when we are by ourselves
can we talk of what is up

they fly.

Temperance men should bear in mind that
the contest today is not between Prohibition
and AUTHORIZATION. That is false cry,
raised by few Democratic leaders who care
nothing about prohibition, but good deal
about defeating the Republican candidate.
Mayor Chapman is an advocate of prohibit
ton, as well as Gen. Dow. Gen. Dow once
had an opportunity to try to suppress the
liquor traffic in this city, and has publicly ad-
mitted that he did not succeed. There is nc
reason to believe that he would succeed any
better if given another chance. A large pei
cent Of the men who vote for him today will
do so with the hope that if he is elected he
will so discredit prohibition that free rum
reaction will follow, as was the case with
his administration in 1855.

effects of prohibition, the toronto uiooe
o;tae Tho remarkable record of Halton where
there has been an unprecedented decrease OF
crime. At every Assize Court, in all eleven,
since the Scott Act came into force in this
county, the Judge received the present of a
pair of white gloves, something that never
occurred under license, and since 1882 there
has not been!a conviction at the General Ses-
sions presided over by the county judge.
During the last two years the fines arising
out of the operation Of the act have more
than paid the expenses of its enforcement.
The verdict in the case of Stain and Crom-
well settles so far as any human tribunal can
settle two things: First, that Mr. Barron,
the treasurer Of the Dexter savings bank.
was murdered, and second that Stain and
Cromwell murdered him. It ought to be
accepted by the public as complete vindica-
tion of the memory of Barron and as conclu
sive proof that he was what everybody
thought he was when he was found lying in
the doorway of the vault, a martyr to the
trust that had been committed to his keeping,
That men will cavil at the verdict of the jury
and still refuse to reject the suicide theory
there is not much doubt but the great pub
lie will, we have no doubt, accept it as con-
clusiyely settling the question. The inves-
tigation has been long and exhaustive, car
ried on on both sides with great ability, and
the jury was one of much more than average
intelligence and discrimination. OF course
there is possibility that they have erred,
for the judgments of the best and wisest of
men are fallible, but the probabilities are
vastly in favor of the justice of their conclu
sion

Cox, of this place, was called TO his
sick bed, being accompanied by her
husband.
lie was the eldest child of a devoted
mother, AND the only brother Of an
aff%cctionate sister. A handsome, pro-
missing, and loving son and brother,
he was almost a family idol, and two
hearts bleed with deep grief.
EDDIE had but recently left school,
a short while at the A. AID NJ. Col
lcgr, of this State, and finally prepar-
ing himself for lIfe's work by a special
course in a business college Of Ken
lucky, where he mastered short hand
and tclegraphy, Returning about a
year ago he readily obtained employ-I
ment and was rapidly pushing his
way TO the front, holding qni.te a re-
muEcrativc position for one of his age
at the time Of his untimcly death. lie
was an usually bright boy, quick to
master the problems of business,
courageous, honorable, energetic aud
ambitious, and being gentlcmamlv,
respectful and noblc-hearted, he had
won the admiration and highest es-
TEEN Of all who knew him. lie was
one OF the most promising young men
ever produced by this community, and
being cut of in his Youthful Lrime,
has cast a gloom around his old home.
Our deepest sympathies are enlisted

heir APPALLING grief and sad af1iction
Nay the Author and Giver of the
great blessing of which they are now
,crcft administer a healing balm to

nay look and hope though earth seems q
lcsolatcd. S
EDDIE was our nephew by marriage,
nd was Il relative of whom we were
roud, and at whose death we grieve G

tllcn most heavily. i
