A Saloon Trust.

-Four prominent liquor dealers
Of Tacoma, Washington Territory,
have taken steps to form a novel
trust to control the retail whiskey
traffic within the corporate limits.
The scheme cOntemplateS that at
the end of the present year all
saloon licenses shall be reSCindcd
and nc new ones issued except to
a syndicate company, which will
agree to pay into the city treasury
sum equal to that obtained from
all the saloons. The projectors
further agree to run not more than
twenty places for retail selling and
that these shall not be located
near churches, school houses, or
in thickly settled residence pOr-
tons Ofthe city. Aside from these
obligations the syndicate will as
sumo all the responsibility for all
violations of the law traced to any
Of the places controlled by them,

ordinances as to closing hours and

Not FirccrackcrS Enough.

Fourth of July or some of them
will 60 without. According to
close estimates of the stock now
in this country, and taking aC-
count of all possible arrivals be-
fore the Fourth, there will be only
100000 boxes for the young Amer
lean Patriots. This means a good
many crackers, but they will not
90 around, for the usual June
supply amounts to 1,000,000
boxes. This is bad news for the
boys, but the insurance men won't
weep.
Several causes have cOntribu-
ted to this sudden decrease in the
supply. In the place they have
strikes in China, just as they do
here, only somewhat more so.
For some time past the carpenters
and furniture makers have been
on a strike to such an extent that
yearly all the business of the en-
pire has been seriously affected.
The tirecracker makers were not
involved in the strike, but so
many other interests were incOm-
NODDED that the prOprietOrS of
factories could not ship their
goods on time. One importer in
this city ordered a great many
thousand boxes to be shipped
prior to January |. The Chinese
merchants were unable to comply
with the terms, and the result is
that, though the goods have been
shipped, they started so late that
they will not arrive here until

Spirit Rappcr> Not Esteemed i'm
Minnesota,

In recent discourse at the
Spiritual Society in st. Pau, Min,
mediums were defended as a class
that suffered to bring light to
those who sit in darkness. 1t
was remarked that society and
even the churches, were so preju-
diced against mediums that they
were not admitted to social equal
ity, and their cheeks were not
warmed with the kisses of Sisterly
recognition. TO be termed a me.
dunn was stigma and barrier to
the easier paths of genteel life.
This OStIaciSm was recently cited
by a clergy man as evidence that
SpiritualSm is a fraud and delu-
sion. But the defender of the
ism forcibly replies that the Sc.
lectcd ones of Christ when ON
earth were admitted to none of
the 100 Of the day. All the con.
sentative and orthodox classes
reprObated them, and even the
Master was driven out of the
churrhcs.--St. Paul Globe.

Dogs that turn sOmersaults, walk

The Men Are Dying on.

OUT said Clerk Hedden, of the
Health Board.
"What makes you think that
way" asked a News reporter, as a
feeling of dread passed oyer him.
The records show that more
males than females die every year
not only in Indianapolis, but
everywhere else. For instance,
in 1887 the deaths were: Males 81,
females 943; in 1883, Males 1902,
females 939 1889 the males exceed
de females by 12O. Thus far in 1890
five more males than females have
died. At this rate, you know, all
Of us men will be gone, and the
women will rule the wOrld--a
woman President, Woman Con-
gressmen, and even a female Clerk

it will take some time for this state
of affairs to be brought about, but

The Counting Of a Widow.

ing question:
| am a widow. My husband has
been dead thirteen months. a
gentleman of high standing, indie.
pendent position and most honor
able reputation, whom | have
known personally for many years,
desires to pay me his addresses
with view to marriage, and has
frankly asked permission to do so.
Is it proper for me to consent!
Or does he display lack of cOur-
tesy and good manners in making
such advances so soon after my
husbands death?
Under the conventional rule of
society widow may marry again
year after the death Of her huS-
band. That implies, of course,
that she might may be wOoed 500
ner, and how much sooner depends
on the state of her heart. 1t may
happen, and it often does happen,
that the very profundity of her
grief and the depth of her attach
ment to the lost render her peculi-
arly susceptible to new demons
tratiOnS OfaffeCtiOn. Her wounded
spirit Graves sympathy and cOnsO-
latiOn, and in her loneliness and
despair she feels the need of a
strong arm to lean upon and
trusting heart upon which to rely.
Her weeds. her dOwncast eyes,
her gentle sorrow, patient suffer
ing, and attitude of dependence
make powerful appeal to every
manly breast, especially if she be
young and pretty. Such a widow
is always interesting, Oftentimes
absolutely irresistible. Even the
lOveliest of maidens may well look
upon her as a dangerous rival,
though she enters into no formal
competition with them, and invites
tender regard by reason Of the
charm of her widOwhOOd only.
How soon after her bereavement
these evidences of her power will
bring a feeling Of pleasure to the
mourning heart of a widow, de-
ponds probably on circumstances
and her temperament. Some
people rebound sooner than
others. In one case the man cap
able of restoring elasticity to the
unstrung heart may be close at
hand, and in another he may be
long in coming. Mere concern for
cOnventiOnallty may lead one
widow to Stit1e any new affection
SO soon as it has birth, while
another will tend and cultivate it,
hOwsOever great may be her self
accusation. The feeling of the
duty of grief for the dead may be
more irrepressible in one than
another, and yet the reality of the
mourning in each may be the same.
Therefore, we say to the inquir-
ing widow of New Jersey, consult
your own heart in this matter. 1t
has evidently been touched. You
would not write to us otherwise.
The affection which you have
awakened brings joy to your mind,
despite its misgivingS come not so
much from the memory of the dead
as from fear that you will Overstep

them.
AS for the man who would WOO
you, who seems already to have
wooed you to good purposes, we
applaud his spirit and admire his
method, so bold, so frank, and so
straightforward. He has not
beaten about the bush with hints,
signs, amOrOus glances and timid
fOrebOdings, but has advanced
directly and cOurageOusly to the
attack. He is in love with you,
wants to marry you, and he has

advanced age of SO years. She was

up to few months ago she showed
wonderful vitality for one OF her age.
But her children knew that old age
would assert itself and were not sur
prised at her giving down. She
fingered patiently on the bed of af-

willing at any time to answer the
Masters call.
She was a devout member of the

The Tobacco Market.

The tobacco market presents a
lively appearance to-day. The
buyers are all in good spirits and
bidding lively. Leaf tobacco is sell
ing all the way from 800 to $500.
The latter figure, however, is only
paid for the very finest tobacco
offered. Lugs did not seem to be
doing as well this morning as usual ,
the figures ranging from $500 to
$3.50 with an occasional squirt to 5000
for an extra lug. a great many far
mers and country dealers are in town
and they all seem to want their weed
put on the market. Taking the
market as a whole, it is in a firm,
healthy condition and is liable to re-
main so for some time, judging from
the way the buyers are bidding.
