BoeTos, Jolly 30.-The failure of the
boot and shoe firm of z. A. and A. B sch-

The firm i one of the oldest IN the
country in It's line. having been estab-

factory at North B-ookfeId is one of the
largest and best .a auipced in the country
and gives employ ment TO I,10o hands,
calling for a weekly pay roll Of over
$4,000. This is the only industry of the
town and the failure will be a heavy
blow. This was one Of ten firms in Wor-
cester county that had long contest

five months, and this struggle which re-
suited in favor of the the manufacturers
was very expensive and has undoubtedly
contributed directly or indirectly TO the

cause of the faiiure is the large losses

Continued Trouble i'll Providing Fortunes
for the Queens Children.

for the Queens Children
LONDON, July % The commons sit
ting Ia committee, resumee debate on the
royal grants bill today. John Morley
moved an amendment declaring that the
house is unwilling to increase the bur
dens of the people without the assurance
that no furtb r claims will be made for
the younger members of the royal fam
lily. The government had not made out
their case either in select committee or
in the house. Psliament had already
lioeralIy provided for the children
of the queen. It had not been shown that
retrenchments might not be made in ex-
penditures upon royalty without causing
the queen any anxiety. Hs especially
objected to the assertion of the claim to
the grants of the grandchildren OF the
que n. He moved an amendmentssin order
tO prevent the reassertion and reaffirma-
ton of the claim, the Justice of which is
denied.
Chamberlain said Morley obi scted to
the grants because no fnalty was prom
ised but as regarded the present reign
proposed grants were absolutely fiual.
He did not think that after the queens
promise any minister would advise any
sovereign to ask for the grants for the
other grandchildren of her majesty.
Chamberlain said it was shameful to
fawn upon monarch, but it was still
more shameful to truckIe to the multi.
tude. The members who were doing so
were nothing less than nihilists of Eug-
lish politics. loud conservative cheers
and radical g gloans.)

be increased rather than diminished.
By the present rate the government is
saving a lsrge sum, probably 100000
annually by the reduced cost of telegraph
service below what other patrons have TO
pay, and that the saving is necessarily
made up from other customers. In all
justice and fair dealirg the existing rate
should, therefore, be increased. To do
the government service for nothing
necessarily imposes heavier burdens on
the people who sustain the telegraph.
