After diligent inquiry the report could not be

The only foundation for the story "a far as

The announcement of the engagement of

Captain Naylor-Leland, of England, is the
occasion Of an interesting story of the way
some people get along in society. 1t was
some some fifteen or sixteen years ago that the
Nayior-Lesylands first appeared in London
society. they had magn ifcient house in
Aloert Gate, overlooking Rotten Row and
| much wealth, but did not gain imm ediate
en.Iahce INTO society. Easter had come and
SE r. ~, o ss Tue Lyndon season was not yet
to give ball before the rush came. and an
nounced that magnificent presents. snch az
diamond bracelets, earrings set with rubies
ana bs Oh Psars would be distributed
presents did not decrease by telling ahon1
them, and when the day of the ball arrived
London bellies believed that they would re-
ceive such cotillion favors as the mines of
Golconda could not have supplied. The
ballroom was crowded with London's
most fashionable bellies ard beaux. 1t prov
ed great success, and although the cotillion
favors were not as splendid as they had
been described to be, they were very hand
some. 1t was the fashion in those days to
have dance programmes, and at the Naylor
Leland ball to every programme very hand
some pencil case was attached. When the
guests were leaving they were surprised at
being asked by a gentlemanly-looking man
in dress clothes to return the pencil cases, as
they were only lent by Mr.. Naylor Leyland.
Most of the pencil cases were returned by
the indignant guests, who vowed never to
enter the house again. The story reached
Mr.. Naylor Leland's ears, and then it was
discovered that the gentlemanly man in
dress clothes was a well known London

The strength Of the protective system in
the United States has been In that it has
been believed to be Of great benefit to the
laboring man. The majority of the people
OF this country continue in this belief in
spite of the efforts of large and influential
minority-who claim that there is no evil
dence to sustain this belief and that In real
lily the evidence is all the other way. The
TACT that the laboring men in this country
are better off than their fellows in any other
country is declared by this minority to be
inconclusive aud valueless, since in the
abundance Of the resources of this country
1t is inevitable that laboring men should fare
well. Without stopping to examine the
many evidences that 1t is the system of pro-
lection that has developed these resources,
1t is instructive to examine piece Of new
evidence which shows the Improvement in
the condition of laboring men under a sys-
tenn Of protection in a country which has
not the natural advantages which the United
States has. The Royal Labor Commission
which has been investigating the condition
of wage-workers in Canada, has within the
week submitted the results of its work to
the Canadian Parliament. There are two
reports, one signed by majority and the
other by a minority of the commission.
Upon certain points the reports agree. This
is the case in reference to the condition of
workingmen generally. 1t appears that
wages in Canada are generally higher than
at any previous time, that the hours Of labor
have been somewhat reduced, and that
many necessaries Of life are lower in price
than ever before. In short. the material
condition of the working people has been
materially improved, particularly during the
las' ten Years. Now these last ten years
marx very nearly the period during which
'ne protective or national system has been in
operation in Canada.

The rate of taxation is an important item
for the consideration of the business men
of any city; and low rate is one of the
best advertisements city can have. A Bos-
ton paper publishes table of the yearly
rates for that city for every year since 1922,
when Boston became city. In but one
year in all that time has the rate gone above
SIT on thousand. 1t reached that limit in
1884, but the next year dropped to $3.50, and
last year was S13.40. Now the Boston city
government is prevented by law from max
ing the tax rate over $14. Portland. by go
ing into the railroad business, is unable to
avail itself of the advantages of such an ad-
vertisement; but the time is coming when it
may be able, If wise economy is continued
for series of years.

Although General Washington left no chill
dren, the Washington family has by no
means dwindled away. The Washington
Star has found enough Washingtons living
now to fill two solid columns with their
names. OF all this horde. the most promi-
nent of course are the Mt Vernon Wash
ingtons, descendants of that Col. John A.
Washington. of Robert e. Lees staff, who
sold Mt. Vernon to the association which
now controls it.

At its recent session. the Indiana legisla.
ture passed law making eight hours a day s
work, except when otherwise agreed by COLI
tract, Tor all classes of mechanics and work
ingmen, except persons employed as domes.
tics or on farms. This excludes house ser.
wants and farm hands. and the point is made
that this discrimination brings the act I'M
der the constitutional prohibition of special
privilege legislation. 1t is of course mat
ter for the courts to decide whether this
point is well taken. Apart from the legal as
poets of the case, the law seems TO be fool
ish one, contrived to makef arming still more
unpopular as means of livelihood.

to the people Of Maine, that, ceasing from their
ordinary vacations on that day, they assemble at
their family fresides and usual places of public
worship, and unite in religious devotion in fasting
and prayer, thus reyerently acknowledging the
Supreme Being as the Ruler and Father of all, to
whom Implicit obedience is always due, and with
out whose care there can be no true prosperity IN
