OF some one who has been benefited and cured,
that Hostetters Stomach Bitters is q thoroughly

A Rssourcsful Wife.

rural districts OF an ex-swell who
married young woman with repu-
tation, much to the chagrin of his
family, who ''cut him off, SO to speak.
for such fatal mistake Recently the
parental hearts began to relent, aud a
proposition was made through an nc
commodating friend that the young ex-
swell should divorce the Objectionable
daughter-in-law, and receive in return
not only the parental blessing. but a
goodly part OF the parental exchequer.
When the matter was laid before
madame she advised her spouse to ac-
cept the generous reward offered for
the Inconsistency OF man." suggesting
that it would be advisable TO replete
the empty Golfers.

Boston Women AT Block I.Iand.

Two Boston women have established
a sort OF woman's exchange in a

OF the Ocean View hotel at Block

rectangular counter and showcase,
whereon, as well as in the space be-
hind, are displayed beautiful collec-
ton of art novelties, fancy work of all
kinds, german favors, some lovely for
eign bric-a-brac, all sorts of materials
for dainty summer needle-work, an
assortment of fine confectionery, and
at corner of the case choice brands
OF cigars. Lessons in embroidery are
given by these enterprising young la
dies, and their bazaar is quite a center
of attraction. Both are exceedingly
pretty aud clever and their success is
as much a foregone conclusion as their

NBwFoUNpLAND,s GRIEVANCE.

The trouble that Newfoundland, Great
Britain and France are having over the
fisheries off the coast of the former island is
not new. The fisheries have been bone of
contention ever since the English. and
French races began their conflict in North
America. Under the treaty of Utrecht,
made in 1713, the right Of catching and
drying fish on the western and northern side
of the island was all that France retained of
her claims to the Newfoundland fisheries
The exercise of this right has been the real
and abiding source of irritation to French
fishermen and Newfoundlanders alike. The
British Government has not managed this
awkward question we'll, and there is founda-
ton for the Newfoundlanders' complaint
that France has been treated more consider
ately by the mother country than they have
been.
The present complication has created In
tense dissatisfaction in Newfoundland.
There has been considerable exaggeration Of
the recent summary action of French naval
officers in St. Georges Bay, but it is likely
that the incident will bring matters to a
head. The French papers insist and prob
ably they are correct, that no Newfound-
landers nets were seized and that all the
captain of the French war ship did was to
warn the Newfoundlanders to remove their
nets from French waters and desist from OBJ
structing French fishermen. An English
gunboat was present when this took place
and it is not likely that its commander
would permit any act of aggression, such as
has been alleged to have occurred.
The question which England will have to
decide at once is whether or not to continue
the rodus vivendi with France, by which
the latter is allowed to establish lobster
canning factories on certain portions of the
Newfoundland coast The Newfoundland
ers claim that Great Britain agreed to this
arrangement without consulting them, and
they deny its legality under the treaty stipu-
lations which confne the rights of the
French to catching and curing fish. They
claim that canning is not curing. and that
the French are allowed to encroach upon an
industry hitherto monopolized by the island
ers. The slowness of English statesmen
and the selfshness displayed in England's
policy toward her colonies are once more
likely to cost her dear.

THE RATIO OF GROWTH,

The completion of the census in the
Thirty-sixth ward, which shows q gain of
only 80 per cent over its population of ten
years ago, is thought to be rather disappoint-
ing. While it is true that it is not up to
the average gain which was hoped for, it is
30 easily explanable that we may still e1-
pect a much heavier ratio of growth for the
whole city.
The Thirty-sixth ward was one which
might expect to fall below the average
Of growth. In the first place the available
property on this side of the hills was we'll
filled ten years ago. 1t has had the benefit
of no rapid transit lines to bring in new terri
tory for houses on its outskirts; and tits among
the wards whose population has been drawn
upon in the building of manufacturing
towns like Jeannette and Wilmerding. If
under such circumstances that ward shows
gain of 30 per cent we may confidently
expect a much larger rate of gain in other
parts Of the city; to say nothing of
multiplying the ratio two or three times in
those parts of the county where new suburbs
have sprung up.
The census is likely to act as a shrinker
of figures that emanste from the boomers;
but whatever may be done in that way, there
is no doubt that thorough census of Pitts
burg will show a large and striking increase
Of population.

AN ERROR CORRECTED,

In q number of interviews published in
the East on Mr.. Carnegie's claim that q col
lege education does not help men to success
in business, we find the following comment
credited to Mr.. Rossiter johnson:
tThere is one point overlooked in the discus
sion, and that is the assumption of Mr.. Carnegie
that mans only aim in life should be to get
money. That is the false basis upon which he
predicates his argument Money-making is In
reality a minor object to be considered; the
chief one should be the attainment OF mental
elevation"
This would be very cogent criticism if 1t
were a correct statement of Mr.. Carnegie's
position. But although a casual reader of
his article in the New York Tribune might
suppose that it holds up the pursuit of
wealth as the only object Of ambition, it is
not true. Mr.. Carnegie has given most con-
vincing proofs of his belief that wealth is
only useful as an instrument to produce
much higher results. While his own life
has been that of successful money getting,
his iberality in devoting his fortune to
means of culture is such as no man could
show who regards the acquisition and owner
ship of riches as the sunlnaunl bonun.
With regard to the article which provokes
this comment, the fact is that Mr.. Carnegie
was requested by the New York Tribune to
write an article on the characteristics and
course that are most likely 10 result in sue
cessful money-making. Whether there 10
not surplus of such articles, and whether
great newspapers might not better direct
inquiry into how men can be of the greatest
use to mankind, is a fair question for dis
cussion. But being asked to give his ideas
on the best preparation for career of wealth
creating, Mr.. Carnegie expressed his belief
that the college training did not furnish the
necessary qualities; and that was all that he
held.
He has distinctly disavowed any belief
that college education may not make man
more useful as lawyer, statesman, physi-
clan or clergyman than as millionaire, or
that there are not careers far higher than
the one in pursuit of wealth. The man who
uses his wealth in founding libraries and
art galleries knows better than that

DON'T WEAKEN 1T,

A very correct position is taken by the
New York Press in declaring that the Sem
ate should keep its hands off the sugar
clause in the tariff bill. The establishment
of free sugar up to No. 16, as proposed by
the measure in its present shape will give
the people cheap sugar, and in the grades
between Nos. 13 and 16 are many yellow
sugars that are suitable for family use.
These will not only give poor people a cheap
supply but by their competition will tend to
cheaper the higher grades. The protection
of four-tenths of cent on refined sugar is
ample, as the cost of labor in sugar refining
is fully covered by an allowance of three
tenths of cent. To restore any portion OF
the duties on low grade sugars would burden
the people, and to raise the margin of pro-
lection of refined sugars would be putting
money into the hands of the Sugar Trust 1t
is to be hoped that the Senate will do
neither, but will keep the strongest feature
of the Mckinley bill just as it is.
