The Herald. the home organ of Sena-
tor Proctor, says "Mr Proctor will take
his seat with much more than ordinary
advantages. Apart from the matter of
personal ability he has had about the
most complete experience in the govern
ment of the State that is possible, has
from his business enterprise been ac-
customed to larger affairs and wide deal
ing with men, and has finally been in
the cabinet in way to become specially
familiar with the National government
and those who make it, This last also,
under one of the unwritten laws of the
Senate, entities him to precedence on
committees over all new Senators except
hose who have before sat in the body
Again. while some recent idle talk about
Mr.. Proctor as political car of the
State is absurd enough, it is true that
Vermont habitually keeps its Senators in
position, well knowing that that is the
only way to make itself powerful in the
upper house, and Mr.. Proctor has a
promise of permanence in the place
which would come in only a very few
states. 1t is also to be remembered that
strong Republican Senators are unfortu-
nately few just now, and new man has
more than an ordinary opportunity in
consequence"

ial of the consistency and texture
and substance of lard. 1t approx
imates to the color of natural but
ter. 1t is without odor and has a
neutral flavor to the taste.
Cottolene is a simple prepara-
ton of cottonseed oil and beef suet.
1t contains no other material. 1t
contains no salt, no water and no
coloring matter. Itmeets the pub
lie demand for a pure healthful,
digestible substitute for swine fat.
The name Cottolene, is register
ed in the Patent Office and is fully
protected. All persons are hereby
warned against infringement, and
limitations will be prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law.
HOW TO USE COTTOLENE.
Directions are clear and simple.
Use Cottolene exactly the same as
lard, but use only one-half the
quantity Of Cottolene that would
be required of lard.
Remember Cottolene is the
same price as lard and thus you
save just half your money.

THE SAYIN ROCK SUNDAY

THE SAt1N ROCA SUNDAY.
 The statement of the executive commit tee of the Savin Rock Cottagers' associa- tion is a very clear and strong presentation of the association's ideas and objects. It has been accused of wanting to "revive the blue laws," to ''interfere with the pleasure of the public," etc., etc. These charges are always made when any effort is put forth to restrain people from doing what they please on Sunday, even if doing what they please is clearly against law and order. The committee points out (what is undoubtedly true) that the state of affairs on the west shore Sunday afternoons and evenings has been unlawful and disgrace ful. It is one thing to go to the shore to get cool and bathe, and eat "shore din ners," and it is quite another to go there to get drunk, consort with dis reputable females and otherwise mis- behave. It is as much for the interest of orderly people who visit the shore that it should be pleasant and safe as it is for those who live there. It is a fact that those who have made the trouble and disturbance complained of are few in number compared with those who wish to be quiet and enjoy themselves decently, and the suppression of the few should be welcomed by all concerned. We do not believe the association intends to infringe upon the rights of others, and if it conducts it's work sensibly it will have the approval of all good citizens. There is no denying that something ought to be done to make Sunday at the west shore little more respectable than it has been

THE BICYCLE WAR.

The bicycle has been looked upon prin- cipally as plaything, but in the next European war it will do military work. It is already in use in the German army and in Belgium bicycle schools have been attached to most of the garrisons. But little Switzerland appears to have the most faith in the bicycle as military helper, and bicyclists divisions are to be organ ized in her standing army and militia. To the staffs of the high-class troops are to be allotted companies of bicyclists in the fol lowing manner: To the general staff, one officer and fifteen privates; to each of the staffs of the general army corps, one adju- tant non commissioned officer and eight privates; to each of the division staffs, for itself and the bodies under it, one adjutant on-commissioned officer and fourteen privates; to every brigade staff of the militia one non-commissioned officer and three privates. This force may be increased at will to ten per cent. more than the number specified. In the militia of every region including 8 division, a sPeciai conpahy oA oicycllsIs is to pe organized for scouting and for recruiting the above mentioned companies. The bicyclists are directly under the super vision of the general staff. The bicyclists must provide themselves with machines. They are to be recruited from those liable to service, yet who for special reasons are | not adapted to carrying arms.
 It seems to us that the use of bicycles l in war must be rather limited. Horses
 can go faster than bicyclists, and the
 latter can't go at al! except on good
 roads. The bicycles will perhaps have te
 be carried quite as much as they will carry. Time and trial will tell how
 useful they are to be.

 by this lodge, 103 of which had been paid
 up in full, amounting to SIC, ,000, while the members had contributed in all over $95,- 900. By far the greater portion of this money had been contributed by poor peo- pie, employees in factories, servants, etc. Another concern, The Progressive Endow- ment League of Baltimore, Maryland, has just been put into the hands of receiver. It promised 5000 members $100 each in year, for $50 paid in, ,and an injunction re- strained the distribution of $30, ,000 among 300 members, many of whom were officers of the institution. The available funds, about $150, 1000, will be divids sd pro rata, among the members, averaging about $17 each for the $50 paid in.
 Dr. Schrevens of Tournsi gave some in teresting facts about diphtheria in a paper which he read before the Hygienic con- gress. He said that statistics in Belgium proved that diphtheria and typhoid fever committed their greatest ravages in the same districts, and rarely existed separate ly. He proceeded to say that one circum- stance which may foster diphtheria in a locality is the breeding of certain species of animals presenting great receptivity for diphtherogenic germs; for example, Italian fowls and game cocks. The trans mission of diphtheria to man by these anil mals was so we'll established by his ob- servations for several years past that he felt persuaded of the need of further at tention being paid to this subject. Final ly, third condition which necessarily fosters diphtheria in locality is the neg ligence of disinfection and isolation. The altitude of the locality does not probably exercise any very great influence. One would suppose that diphtheria would be specially prevalent in low, damp places. Recent observations in three contiguous parishes proved that the principal seat of the malady was in the most elevated ham let of all,

 SUPERIOR, Wis, August 26. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Since the date of my last letter to you some three months since-I have remained in this vicinity and have noted the rapid growth of this city. The first fact which impresses me as an eastern man is the sta bility and solidity of the place. It is in no sense @ "boom town," but a thriving, growing city. The population is now over twenty-fve thousand, and every day adds to these figures.
 The class of people, too, who are mak- ing this place their home evidences the faith that is placed in the city. Men of money and brains are here, and have iden- ti6ed themselves with Superior, and the pauper element so prevalent in new towns seems to be lacking here. In my former letter I gave you fully description of the location of the city and its geographical advantages, and spoke of it's many indus tries. It is my purpose in this letter to speak more especially of the opportunities now offered here for the investment of eastern capital.
 The real estate of the city is taxed at twenty-three million dollars, and it is safe to say that its value to-day exceeds fifty million dollars. The opportunities here for making money are So many that to judge of the best chance the investor must be here in person to see for himself. During the summer real estate transac- tions have been comparatively few; and | to day parties who can afford to hold on l are 10th to sell. There are very many, however, who are pressed for money just now, and there are real bargains to be had on easy terms, whereby any one can double their money with year. I think the very best investment is to buy and build. know of dozen instances here now where parties are deriving an income of twenty per cent. on their investment from the rentals of their buildings. There is an excellent opening for large dry goods concern. Offices are in demand and the army of working people here art taking the dwelling houses as fast as they can be erected. Many New York partie, are already interested here and are put ting up buildings at this time. As stated to you in my last letter, this is al excellent point for parties to locate thei factories. As an inducement to frst-clas parties to locate here the city will give tn land and liberal cash bonus. All infor nation on this subject can be obtained o

 Monsieur Fernando, a penniless young composer, occupied garret room st the Bufontes. He was happy there, however, for he could now and then catch a glimpse of Mile. La C. flaming herself on the first floor balcony. He fell, of course, des- perately in love with her, and as she was single, he composed for her song which he called "Love's Young Dream"
 When it was completed he ran down stairs with it, resolved to knock and hand it to a servant, but finding the door open he slipped in. There was her portrait on the boudoir table, and he would have kissed it if e scream and a growl had not startled him.
 He turned. The scream came from Mile. La C., the growl from a gentleman who accompanied her, and on the instant two hands came down on Fernande's should CTS and the miniature was wrestled from him.
 "How careless of Augusta, "cried the lady, f'to leave the door open for thieves to come in."

 Woman is still at it. Miss Charlotte Higgins, who carried off the honors of entrance into the University of London over 1,600 male students, is a little Scotch girl, twenty years old, and, to judge from her picture, very youthful looking per son. Her brilliant education has been due to the efforts of her mother, her father having died when she was child of eight years.
 A Colorado husband wanted to escape the obligation of an agreement with his divorced wife. He had bargained to give her a specified sum every month after their separation as long as she should re- main unmarried. He kept up the pay ments for some time and then stopped them, whereupon she sued him. His de- fence was that the agreement was in re- straint of marriage, and could not be en- forced. The Supreme court of the State does not take this view. "This is not" it says, "a contract III festrdlub oI lnhrTlaSe. No obligation is imposed upon the woman not to marry. She is at liberty any time | to marry whom and where she will. There | is nothing in the agreement which in any way involves the question of morals of public policy"
