SIMON CAMERON.

Simon Cameron, a leader and a
power in republican party politics,
died at his home in Lancaster, Penn,
last week Wednesday evening, at the
ripe age of 81. He arose to eminence
from humble birth. He was a demo-
crat until the parties broke up in SO,
when he became an ardent republic
can. He was President Lincoln's
first secretary of war, but resigning
in 90 was sent as minister to Russia.
Many feel that it was due to his di-
plomacy that the car was always
friendly to the union cause. He went
into the senate at the close of the
war and remained III it till 1878,
when he was succeeded by his son
Don He has been likened to Thur
low Weed in his mastery of politics
and men, but he was not up to
Weeds level in methods. 1t is to his
credit that one of his last acts before
he was stricken with paralysis was
to sign check for a thousand dollars
for the TOhnstOwn sufferers.
THREE EDUCATORS DEAD.
Within the past week three promi-
nent educators have passed away,
Maria Mitchell the astronomer,
Mary E. Brigham, president of Mt.
Holyoke seminary, and Theodore
Dwight Woolsey. ex-president of
Yale college.
Miss Mitchell died at the ripe age
of 20 and in her day and generation
has done a great work. In her re-
searches in astronomy she made
many new discoveries, having found
seven comets during her life. When
VasSar college was started in 1865
she was called to the chair of astron-
omy which she filled until within a
wear when i'll health compelled her to
resign.
In marked contrast to the ripe and
lengthy service of Miss Mitchell is
the sudden and untimely end of Miss
Brigham just as she was entering
upon n new field, that of president of
Mt. Holyoke seminary. After her
graduation at Mt. Holyoke she
taught in Ingham university at Lee
roy, \. Y In 1868, three years after
DR. Charles E. West took charge of
Brooklyn Heights seminary, Miss
Brigham joined him, and for twenty
six years did noble work there She
was more than once called to leave,
having the presidency of Wellesley
college offered her among other posi-
tions, but she declined all invitations
until the Mt. HolyOke trustees in
March asked her to take charge of
that institution. When it became
known that she had accepted the po-
sition of principal of the Mt. Holy
Oke institution prominent Brooklyn
citizens united in urging her to re-
consider her determination and stay
where she was. At the school'scom-
mencement exercises, June 6, DIR. Tai
mage, after acknowledging the value
of her work. addressed her, saying
ITO Miss Brigham l say come back !;

women, you know, have sometimes

Squire declared; .:let's go in the house and set down; might as we'll be restin' while we're thinkin' up s. him else. Helloa, wander comes .s son Briddle. Light, parson and C. mion yo' saddle,'" he added as the preacher drew up at the gate.
 The parson dismounted and. with the old man, followed the lovers into the Louse.
 ''ls it possible" sad the preacher. in response to a declaration made by tho old Squire, that you cannot, even by the most persuasive appeal to senti- ment, settle this extremely eccentric courtship."
 Can't do 1t, one way nor tuther." the old man rejoined. and then, quickly turning to the girl, he added: Judy. I've got idee."
 What is it. pap?'
 'Wan, it's this: Parson Briddle, here, has seed good deal of tho world wy, you've been way down in Robin4> son county, haiu't you, Parson?"
 ''Thar, now" continued the old man, 'she has even been way down in Robinson county, and Is, frum the fack that he has seed a good deal of the world, a fair jedge of the good pints in man; so now, Judy, air you willin' to leave it to the Parson and take the one he picks out?'
 "Yes, I am willin," the girl an swered.
 "Im willin' too," Mark quickly spoke up. ''but want to tell the Parson right now that ef he decides agin Inc I'll. l whup him till the folks will think he's been ehawed up and spit up by thrashin' machine And as fur me-" said Job, I'm mon delighted with the idee, but jest let me 1 say that eff he decides agin me I'll wallopi him till you'd have to get him together with a hay rake" !, ''Gentlemen," the parson remarked, '1 shall render no decision. I am very well satisfied with my position in life : my circuit is comparatively smooth and: l have a pretty good horse; my salary is tagging, but the sisters have given. me ninety-eight lindsy shirts and calico handkerchlefs enough to cover the rock of ages; so, taking it all into considera- tion, I do not care to be food for a dys- peptic threshing machine or to clog the 1 teeth of hay rake."
 ''Ah, Lawd," sighed the old man. ''the end ain't no nearer in sight than i it was at fust. Judy, fetch out the jug,''' he added. as the preacher said something in an under.one. 'Now, boys," he con tinued, when the jug had been brought, ''he'p yo' selves.' The boys, being nightly partial toward liquor, began to help them ! selves. The old man took a few pulls and the Parson dampened his pucker,< but the boys drank recklessly, and, after a while, they were generously in ! toXicated.
 "Job," said Mark, "I'm the best friend you ever had. You may have Judy"
 Mark" Job responded, 'You ain't TO better friend to mo than I am to you, so you take her.
 Won't do it; you've got to take her. ''
 ''No, you've got to-" l "Now we can call on the Parson to decide, the old man delightedly ex- l claimed.
 That's what we can," said Mark.
 "Parson, you pick out one of us to be the husband of Judy, here, and 1 want to say right here that Jobs my friend an that you decide agin him I'll larrup you till you'd run through sifter.'

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Perhaps after all it will be better to hold the worlds fair at Washington and pay for the fiddler out of the treasury surplus. It is beginning to dawn upon the minds of the editors of the New York newspapers that the chances of the fair having its site within the bord- CTS of that city are less hopeful than they had supposed. The New York World plainly asserts that, unless the people of that city are willing to raise the S2O,- 100000 needed to pay all of the expenses of. carrying on this great show, they might just as we'll give up any idea of ever having it. This conclusion has doubtless been reached by the canvass of congressman made by the above named newspaper, which proved that a majority of those who had any decided opinions on the subject were opposed to having the exhibition of 1892 held in New York city. If New York can not secure the fair let it be held at Washing ton.

 ''Parson, I'm in favor of you maxim decision," Job declared, land I am willin' to leave it to your jedgement; but let me tell you right now, Parson, If you decide ag'in Mark, I'll whale you till all that is left of you would ooze through tow sack
 ''Gentlemen," said the preacher. ''as just now remarked, I shall make no decision.'
 Mark-and Job began to stretch them selves on the floor. ''Let them sleep" said the old man. ''Ho, me-" he sighed, II don't see no way outen this trouble" y II do," the preacher answered, ''step. | outdoors with me-" When they returned the old man, | said: Judy, q decision has been made. | You must marry the preacher.

 | An expression Of de1igted resignation shone on the girls face. II will make out the license and do the marvin my- self," said the old man. "Oh, don't be skeered now; I'll fix the boys all right" I
 Mark awoke, and getting up, aroused Job "'Squire,'' said Mark, i've got 8 little too much of your flicker. Where did you git it?''
 That preacher that was here sent it. | to mo tho other day." | Wall, he knows whut strong flicker l is, don't he Job?''
 That's whut he do, Mark" Job added. II don't know how we air goin. | to fix up this love business" l Neither do l. Where's Judy?" | ''It's well you may ask whar she Is, when you driv' her off that way" an- swered the old man. 1 ''Who driv' her off?'' Job exclaimed. | "Why, you and Mark thar. that's who. ! I begged you not to drink so much but
 you didn't pay no attention to me. | You swore-both of you-that ef I didn't stand up here and marry Judy to l the preacher you'd kill all of us and l jest had to do it and then you driv tho

Hut Her Fathcr Came to Decision At Last Through tho Aid of Parson Iiriddle and Judy
 Was Willing.
COPYRIGHT 1889.

Mark Ramsey and Job Trotter were often seen at the house of old Squire Filpot. These visits were not due to any regard which Mark and Job may have had for the Squire, but were clearly traceable to the love which they bore his daughter Judy. Mark did not know long division from short comings: neither did Job. Mark, given the freest exercise of his arm. could not, with a charred chunk, have written his name on the gable end of the barn; neither could Job. Judy was more than merely handsome; she was bright, quick to learn, and flattering gossip de- clared, could knit pair of yarn socks or snatch tho feathers off chicken as

wATERBURY,s OPPORTUNITY.

There is considerable truth in the re- port that many of the burned-out Lynn shoe manufacturers will consider in- ducements to locate in some other place, notwithstanding the efforts of the Lynn papers to deny that there is any existing dissatisfaction. Templeton's Boston let ter in the Hartford Courant says:
 ''It is said that the relations between employers and employed i'll Lynn are not what they should be. The en- ployers complain of trade organizations. They say that the city is full of them. Every department of manufacture has one. They all meet constantly, and among them they have created an an tagonism between capital and labor, their employers, and subjects the latter to the will of the former in too many cases. Under these circumstances the manufacturers have less heart to rebuild at Lynn than in some other towns, and threaten to move their business.
 The Knights of Labor have proved a power for good in many cases, but there have been instances, and Lynn may fur nish an example, where the knights have pressed the screws of power beyond endurance. Unintentionally they may have been the cause of making the manufacturers dissatisfied and some of the latter are only too glad to turn to some new field.
 Here IS Waterbury's opportunity. In this city the relations between em- ployers and employed are of the most harmonious nature While New Britain and other cities of the state have suf- fered from prolonged strikes, Water bury has been singularly free from labor troubles. Labor is recognized here for what it is worth; many of the factories are working extra hours and everybody Is contented. A shoe factory here would add to the prosperity of the city. The manufacture of shoes is a business which furnishes employment to men and women, boys and girls and would be most desirable addition to the city's industries.
 The board of trade should take imme- diate steps in this matter. Send a repre- sentative to Lynn loaded down with in formation concerning the wonderful prosperity of Waterbury, and offer some nducem ents to the shoe men. There is no time to be lost. Make bold bid at once.

quickly and as effectually as any girl in the community. regardless of educa- tional advantages. Judy loved Mark and Job, but she could not decide which one she preferred. This inability gave her great concern, and often at night while patching her fathers brown jeans or at evening when crouched in the slowly darkening gold of dying day, milking the muly COW, she would shut her eyes, bring up the faces of her two lovers and attempt to force herself ln<o decision, but in vain, for when the gold of evening had darkened into the charcoal Of night; when old muly stood patiently with one foot in the pail of milk, Judy's love remained in equal division.
 Old Filpot liked the boys, but to have saved his life he could not have told which one was his favorite. One morning just as the Squire and Judy had arisen from the breakfast | table, voices in the sitting room an nounced. to we'll accustomed ears, the 1 arrival of the lovers. We have come," said Mark, ito see if we can't sorter make some arrange ments."
 'sThat's what we have" Job put in. "I want Judy" Mark added.
 ''So do I.'' said Job.
 'I love her powerful" Mark ob- served
 ''I love her just about the same," Job i declared. i "Gentlemen," said the Squire, per, plexedly stroking his whiskers, II don't see how we are goin' to manage this affair. Judy don't you, arter all, love one jest a little better than you do the other?''
 II believe I do, pap she answered. l Thar; we are gittin' at it. Now | which one is it??''
