Setting . Price on His AHections.
 rErnm the Lewiston InrrrnaI1

AEh0ha AAAc 1rNkStVu JOuLnAA
 This is about young man who lives in -, no matter what town. It's in the Pine Tree state. This is young man of very deep feeling. When hegets his mind set on thing it takes a strong hold on him. He is one of those intense natures that can brook no opposition Yet up to the time of which write he had always been noted for-lAoking upon the bright side of things-One of your real bright optimists, who considers that every cloud has at least a german-silver lining. We'll, this young man had centered his affections upon a young Indy in the village, and on numerous occasions offered his escort on rides and to parties. These were so uni formly and firmly refused that he at length brought matters to a head by ask ing the lady, point blank, why she refused his attentions.
 Because" said she, '.I am engaged to another man, and do not think it right to go about with you"
 The young man sat stupefied for a mo- ment, too absolutely stunned for words. Then his former bright nature forsook him, as he looked, shuddering, down the long black vista of the years that con fronted him. Not one ray of light gleamed athwart the said vista. Not a glim. The clouds all seemed to be lined with black alpaca. Turning his mournful gaze upon the object of his souls worship, this one time light hearted, but now deso- late man brought forth a groan from his inmost being, and said in a voice that tremblingly told of his deep feeling in the matter: Abigail, I would rather have given five dollars than have this thus"

 YESTER WORK.

A stranger who might have happened to read our esteemed contemporaries yester- day morning would have thought that New Haven was on the verge of at least one crisis. We do not know how affairs will appear to them this morning, but we hope that they will not feel that the schools have started toward eternal smash be- cause the plumbing ticket was not elected.
 What was really done yesterday was this: Mir. Samuel Hemingway was given an abundant entrance to membership in the Board of Education by the votes of his fellow citizens who have thorough confidence in his good judgment and abil- ity to deal with the questions that may arise during his term of office. They know that he is not the servant of any man or any set of men. He goes into the Board entirely untrammelled as he ought to. In bringing this about the voters set the seal of their condemnation on the reckless and desperate move that was made by the authors and finishers of the plumb ing ticket. No ticket so wrong and objec- LdS Detu pTcsenleu to tio Noloio of the district within our recollection. It's success would have been scandalous thing. It's defeat is cause for hearty ap- proval.
 Such persistent efforts have been made to deceive the voters that it is well enough to say again that the ticket which was so successful yesterday was in no sense a Leigh ticket, and in no sense Whitmore ticket MT. Whitmore has carefully re- trained from taking any part in the con- test, and has thereby shown discretion. But it is certain that the efforts which have been made to convince people that he was improperly engaged in school politics have reacted in his favor. There is such a thing as kicking a man too often and too hard.
 One part of yesterdays exercises is par ticularly gratifying, and that is the action of the Irish-Americans concerning the | ticket which contained the names of Car. malt, Plunkett and Clerkin. They did not bite at this bait as they were expected to, and they showed by not doing so theii true regard for the schools, and theil prompt reception of perhaps the most rep rehensible scheme that has ever made its appearance in school election in New | Haven.

A Hard Cheek Slapped.
From the New York Tribune.l .... : xA la.hl ll.al U. .. ......> l

There is no doubt that the man who, in the language of the street, is bounced is so thoroughly ashamed of himself that he is willing to lose his money rather than to have the world know of his folly. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule as there are to all others, but any police of ficial will tell you that the greatest oS- struction the wiping out of this disreputs- ble but prosperous class of men is the vic tim himself But the feeling of the man who is outwitted and mercilessly swindled are not to be compared with those of the self-satisfied bunco-steerer who finds him self clearly and cleverly beaten. The wri- ter watched one of them the other day ap- proach q quiet-looking man and ask him where the Stewart building was. The an swer was given with clearness and marked

Rise i'm Retail Prices or Dry Goods.

H1se Tn IGetafi Prfces or Dry Goous.
 From the Dry Goods Economist.l
 The first of this month witnessed a de- cided change in the way of prices in the retail trade, refuting the theory that prices would keep down for the reason that the wholesale merchants stocked up at old rates, and that the retailers would share the benefit of the still low prices. It was thought that yalues would remain about the same for year or two in spite of the Mckinley bill. The manufacturers claim that they have filled fall and winter orders at usual prices, and the wholesalers make the same statement, with few exceptions, notably velvets, piece and ribbon, ostrich feathers and buttons.
 In spite of this fact, however, retailers within few days have marked up goods from five to ten per cent. To give few examples: Surah and faille francaise have advanced from sixty, seyenty-hve, eighty-fiye and ninety-five cents to sixty five, eighty, eighty-nine cents and one dol lar. The one dollar and twenty-five and one dollar and fifty cent qualities are one dollar and thirty-fve cents and one dollar and sixty cents, or n poorer quality is marked up to the former prices of the bet ter sorts. Cashmere and serge at one dol lar were ninety cents month ago. Stri- ped cheviots of fifty to ninety cents are to-day fifty-four cents to one dollar. La dies cloth selling for one dollar and thir- ty-five cents was one dollar and twenty five cents last week, yet the order for this was placed four months ago. Linen goods, | such as sheeting, pillow-casing, towels, table-covers and napkins have advanced in the last month from five to ten per cent. | Towels that are now three dollars dozen were two dollars and seventy-fiye cents last month, yet these are standard goods | that are often ordered year ahead of de
 livery, and certainly are not influenced by the prices of to-day. Buttons and dress
 trimmings are about ten per cent. higher
 especially crochet and pearl buttons. Ho
 siery has advanced in the same ratios

politeness The 'sbunco" man started ahead, and then, turning suddenly, pro- posed the familiar old question:: "Am l mistaken" etc. The change which came over the dignified man was inspiring to be- hold. He seized the other by the wrist and holding him in fierce grip said: '.I know you we'll, and knew you when you spoke to me before.n Then he deliberate ly slapped the face of the s'bunco- man. This all happened near the post office, and many men in the street knew the character of the man who had been so severely treat ed. A wave of applause went around and the would be swindler went away, shame faced and sneaking disgrace on man.

Professor Blackie in the September For um puts an old truth forcibly when he says: "Let people calling themselves Christians only act consistently through out the six working days of the week what they profess to believe on the day of rest, and the world is saved"
 A Boston school-boy gave the following conundrum to the Boston school commit tee. ''When it cost only $15. IS to educate scholar in the Boston schools in 1861, why does it cost $2S42 to do the same thing in 1890!" A similar conundrum might be asked in almost any city.
 The growth of the city at the expense of the country, which is nearly as striking ir the West as the East, is further shown ir the assessment returns of Illinois, where il appears that the valuation of the town ani
