PHILADELPHIA KNOWS WHAT TO EXPECT
Boston Post.1
Philadelphia's chief of police gives formal
notice that he does not propose to be tricked
by what it pleases him to call "the original
package gag" and announces that should
any one In that city try to sell liquor without
license he and his officers win hold star
chamber session and Sin two minutes evolve
scheme to knock original packages to
smithereens." The dealers in Philadelphia
have this advantage over their brethren in
Boston. They know exactly what to expect.

There will be no blue-and-gray business
about the unwilling of the Lee statue at
Richmond; everything will be gray The
Confederate flag will be seen everywhere,
the Confederate tunes will be sung, and the
lost cause will be revived for the occasion
only. In order to avoid awakening sectional
feeling, the committee of arrangements has
concluded that it would be better not to sing
the following stanza of once popular ditty
farewell forever to the Star Spangled banner;
No longer shall 1t wave DER the home of the

Thirteen stars around the palmetto tree.
Altogether the occasion will be sort of fare

TINS high elevation is talcOse argillaceous

Passsge:of the TarIff Bill.

Only one Republican voted against the
passage of the Mckinley tariff bill, and no
Democrat voted for it. The Republican was
MT. Coleman of Louisiana, who opposed the
Dill because 1t put sugar on the free list. Mr..
Butterworth who in a speech had sharply
criticised some features Of the bill neyerthe
less voted for 1t. The bill is not of course a
perfect measure-that is to say 1t does not
suit all who are believers in protection. To
some protectionists 1t seems to give too much
protection to certain industries, while others
critlcise 1t on the ground that it gives too
little. TWAS Inevitable that there should ba
dissatisfaction. Everybody could not be ex-
actly suited. 1t may be that some Industries
have been protected which Will fail to de-
Telop according to anticipation. and that ex-
perience will show that their protection was
mistake. The tin plate industry may be

snow that the expectations that the tariff on

The last literary work done by the Hon.
William Goold Of Windham, whose earthly
career closed yesterday, was series of bio.
graphical sketches of aged citizens of Port
land which he prepared for the PRESS and
which was published few weeks ago. He
had gathered the material for more sketches
which his illness prevented him from using.
For many years past Mr.. Goold had been a
frequent contributor to this paper. His ar
ticles were chiefly "reminiscences of persons
and events of Portland in early times. HI
had great store of knowledge relating to the
early history of this town, and his variations
were always spirited and entertaining. No
matter in these columns has been more ar
preciated or more sought after, especially
by.our older citizens, than that furnished by
Mr.. Goold. An exceedingly interesting
volume could be prepared by collecting these
articles and republishing them. Mr.. Goold's
most pretentious literary work was 'Port-
land in the Past" book which is full of
valuable information concerning the begin
nings and growth of Portland. Mr.. Goold
was prominent member of the Maine His
torical Society, and furnished many con.
tributions to its volumes. He had little taste
for politics, though he served with credit for
two terms in the Maine Senate as Senator
from this county. A long term of years was
vouchsafed him in which to prosecute his use
full labors, and he had the rare good fortune
to pass the term of four score years with his
mental faculties unclouded and his physical
force scarcely abated.

circumstances and making them SUBJ
ervlent, these drifting people permit
circumstances to control them and
their fortunes. In their home life
they sometimes wear shackles which
often cut to the bone, aud sooner or
later wear out their victims.
Loose morals often result from the
recklessness which this stage engen-
ders children are born into the worst
conditions for their happiness and
healthy growth. In fact, a survey of
the interior of too many homes re~
veals conditions which should incite
to active measures for the enlighten-
ment and reform of their inmates.
Those who would be useful in such
beneficient work should begin in
their own homes, and strike deep at
the roots of all discordant
elements and baneful influences.
Then they will be armed with wis
dom to direct and with strength to
aid those who are cropping blindly
in the obscuring confusion of chaotic
home life, dreading its shadows, list
less, apathetic, drifting into vice, and
exposed to its frightful penalties.
1t would be an inestimabie boon to
those unfortunate people if they could
be awakened to realizing sense OF
the importance Of thought and action
toward securing intelligent happiness
in HOME LIFE.

Mercury and Calomel.

InjudiciOus use of mercury in the
form of calOmel or otherwise leaves
injurious after effects. Much of the
distress that afliicts humanity is due
to Il too persistent use of this poison.
The various functions of the body
become impaired by its use and even
the bones sometimes become affected,
causing aches and general feeling of
debility and distress. Anyone who
has used calomel or mercury in any
of its forms, will do well to follow it
up with use of DR.. Bulls Sarsapa-
rilla. This excellent Alternative coun.
teracts the evil effects of mercury and
other mineral poisOns. 1t is COM
posed of strictly vegetable ingred-
tents, and there is nothing in its COM
position that will harm the most del
icate. Good health invariably fol-
lows its use.-,SWinafeId Heath Jour-

A Good Story by Great Story Teller.

Dumas the elder often laughed at
English stiffness and reserve. One
of his stories was this:
"One day Victor Hugo and / were
invited to dine with the Duke of
Ducazes. Among the guests were
Lord and Lady Palmerston-of course
this happened before the February
Revolution. At midnight, tea was
handed round. Victor Hugo and l
were sitting side by side, chatting
merrily. Lord and Lady Palmer
ston had arrived very late, and there
had, consequently, been no opportu-
nifty to introduce us before dinner.
After dinner, it seems it was forgot
ten. English custom, consequently,
did not allow us to be addressed by
the illustriOus couple. All at once,
young DeCazes came to us, and said:
my dear Dumas, Lord Palmer
ston begs you will leave a chair free
between you and Victor Hugo"
81 FASTENED to do as he wished.
We moved away from each other,
and placed chair between us. There
upon Lord Palmerston entered, hold
ing the hand Of his wife, led her up
to us, and invited her to sit down on
the empty chair-all this without
saying a word.
"'My lady, ne said to his wife,
what time have you?'
"She looked at her watch and an
swered:
"Thirty-fve past twelve
"'Well, then, said the great min
lister, remember well that this day,
at thirty>dve minutes past twelve,
you were sitting between Alexandria
Dumas and Victor HugO-an honor
which you will probably never enjoy
again in your lifetime
"Then he offered his arm again tC
his wife, and took her back to heI
seat without saying a word to us, be.
cause we had not been presented"

In every home we find new vari-

gree of happiness, and surroundings
differing from those in every other
home. How comprehensive and in

life.
In some homes we greet light
hearted parents and children happy
in their love and wise training the
clouds seem to pass by these, leaving
them the warmth and briliancy of
unbroken sunshine. In other homes
we find discord, unrest, and conse-
quent unhappiness no member OF
the household is satisfied /; all are
restless, some are ill-tempered. The
sun seems never to shine into these
darkened places,
Then there are the homes where
life is marked by fluctuations, differ.
