Yours respectfully,
GAIT ANsE HATFIELD,
LIFE AFTER FORTY.
[From the Hospital.l

The best of life is In front of the
man of forty, if be be anything of a
man. The work be will do will be
done with the hand of a master, and
not of raw apprentice. The trained
intellect does not see "men as trees
walking" but sees everything clear
and In just measure. The trained
temper does not rush at work like Q
blind bull at haystack, but advances
with the calm and ordered place Of
conscious power and deliberate de.
termination. To no man is the world
so new and the future so fresh as to
him who has spent the early years OF
his manhood In striving to understand
the deeper problems of science and
life, and who has made some headway
toward understanding them. To him
the commonest things are rare and
wonderful, both in themselves and al
pages Of a beautiful and intelligen,
whole. Such thing as staleness in
life and its duties he cannot under.
stand. knowledge is always opening
out before him In wider expenses and
more commanding heights. The pleas
ures of growing knowledge and in.
creasing power makes every year of
bis life happier and more hopeful than
the last.

LAwREN ON BARRETT DEAD.
The Famous Actor Breathed His Last In
New York City.

New York, March 20.-Lawrenee
Barrett, The tragedian, died this even
ing at 10:45 o'clock al the Windsor
Hotel. The actor was unconscious
but short time before he died. His
wife and DIR. Chambers, of this city,
were with Mr.. Barrett when he
breathed bis last. His last sickness
dated from Wednesday night, when
he was obliged TO leave the theater
where he was engaged. II was said
at that time that he was merely suffer-
ing from a severe cold and would be
out In few days, aud the same report
was made the following day. Even
yesterday the reports from the sick
chamber were very favorable. This
evening DIR. Chambers called at the
Windsor hotel at O'Clock to see his
patient, and shortly thereafter an
nounced that he would remain all
night In the sick-room. Heart failure,
the physician declared, was the cause
of death.
Mr.. Barrett has two daughters now
in Europe, one being the wife of Mary
Anderson's brother. The funeral will
take place probably in Boston, and
the manager of Booth and Barrett will
have full charge of oil the arrange
ments. At the time of bis partner
and friends death, Edwin Booth was
at the Players club and in bed asleep.
He did not receive the notice of his
death until midnight and was very
deeply affected at the news.

mountain, Mr.. Hamilton, Of Athens,
Ga, Is mining for corundum.
On yesterday he found that his sup
ply of water, with which he used to
wash bis corundum, had ceased to
flow. One Of bis workmen was dis
patched to find out the cause. He
quickly returned and said that the
mountain was sinking. Soon the
alarm spread aud parties started to
explore and solve the mystery. They
soon found that q very large fissure
was opening in the earth in the shape
of semi-circle, and large trees were
falling in every direction. The amount
of land encompassed was about forty
acres.
This looked like II might be a slide,
but by examining closely they found
that other assures were opening on
the southwest and northeast crossing
she mountain. The opening In some
places is as much as six feet wide ana
the depth is unknown.

indianapolis, March 23.-Ex-Presi-
dent Cleyeland has written letter to
the Indiana Tariff Reform League de-
clining TO bo present at the annual
meeting. The full text of the letter Is
not given out for publication, but the
closing paragraphs are made public.
They are as follows:
"You will not, | hope, think il amiss
If suggest the necessity of pushing
with more vigor than ever the doctrine
of your organization. | believe that
the theories aud practices which tariff
reform antagonizes are responsible for
many, If not all, of the evils which
affect our people. If there is a scarcity
of circulating medium is not the
experiment worth trying as remedy
OF leaving the money in the hands of
the people and for their use, which Is
needlessly taken from them under the
pretext of necessary taxation? If the
farmers lot Is hard one In his dis
couraging struggle for better rewards
for his toll, are the prices of his pro-
ducts to be improved by a policy
which hampers trade in his best
markets and invites competition of
dangerous rivalsY Whether other
means of relief may appear necessary
to relieve the present hardship believe
the principle of tariff reform promises
the most important aid in their salts
factory solution and adjustment and
that continued and earnest advocacy
of this principle is essential to the
tightening of tho burdens of our coun-
trymen.
Hoping that your organization may
continue to be one of great usefulness
and encouragement, | am yours very
respectful, GROVER CLEVELAND"

Washington, March 2l.-Aetiug Sec
retary Nettleton Of the Treasury
Department has issued q circular letter
modifying the form Of the Govern
ment special tax stamp for retail
liquor dealers, so as to clearly show
that the United Stases does not su-
thOrize the sale of liquor contrary to
Stale or municipal regulations. The
letter says letters are frequently re-
eeived at the department stating that
in many parts of the country the retail
liquor dealers claim TO hold a permit,
or license from the United States for
carrying on their business. That in
many cases where the local law pro-
hibitis public drinking places, the law
is openly violated by persons who
claim 10 do business under at least the
moral sanction of the Federal license,
and that this fact, together with the
belief common among many good eiti-
zens that the United States Govern
ment does, in fact, issue such license,
greatly retards the enforcement of
wholesome restrictive laws.
1t should be unnecessary to state
that the United States Government
does not issue licenses or permits of
any nature to any person in any State
to carry on the business of retail
liquor dealer, and it is eiflicult to
understand how any intelligent citizen
can be imposed upon by an opposite
claim. Congress having levied a
revenue stamp tax of S25 per annum
on the business OF retail liquor dealers
the commissioners of internal revenue
endeavor TO collect this tax wherever
and by whomsoeyer the business is
carried on, but no semblance Of per-
mission, express or implied, is given
by the United States Government in
its revenue laws or otherwise, TO begin
or continue such business IN any place
contrary to local legislation. Here
after the following will be inscribed
across the face Of the stamp to be
issued to retail liquor dealers; "Thls
stamp is simply a receipt for the tar
due the Government and does not
exempt the holder from any penalty,
or punishment provided for by the law
of any State for carrying on said busi-
ness within such State aud does not
authorize the commencement nor con-
tinuance of such business contrary to
the laws of such State or In places pro-
hibited by municipal law.

There Is a quaint old man In Man
chester, England, who goes by the
unique name Of Gagadig Gigadab.
His original name, so the story goes,
was John Smith, but many years ago
he began to brood over the possibili-
ties of mistaken identity involved in
such common name. The name
figured frequently in the criminal
records, and he became abnormally
apprehensiye lest he might be confused
with some of these bad John Smiths.
At last what he feared 40 much actually
happened One morning the papers
recorded the capture of an accountant
in bank for embezzlement, and
through some blunder OF the reporter
the identity Of the ombczzler was con-
fused with the subject Of this para
graph, who was also bank accountant.
Then aud there be determined to
assume a name like unto n0 other
ever borne by mortal man. And in
Gagadig Gigadab most people will
agree that be has done SO. Dickens,
in bis most erratic flights of nomen-
clature, never invented anything like
IL. lie il an old man now and thinks
that his queer name viii in some way
ward Off death. Years ago he chal-
lengcd any poet TO write four verses,
each having a rhyme for bis last name,
but no one ever accepted the challenge.

A araauate or Medicine.

Being a graduate of a Medica
College, I am of course prejudiced
against all secret proprietary medi
cines, but am compelled to say
after being cured of a violent case
Of Inhammatory Rheumatism, that
S. S. S. is the remedy for that dis
ease. l took S. S. S. after every
thing else had failed. I had all
sorts of treatment with the best
physicians. Had the Turkish bath
treatment; went to Hot Springs,
Ark; Jacksonville, Fla; Colorado
Springs, and to California; but no
relief. Then l started home, tired
and worn, disgusted with medicine,
a friend pursuaded me to take S. S.
S. and did it more to crafty him
than from any hope of cure, and the
first bottle put me far on the road
to permanent cure. I continued it

The Electric Light.

Last week we made a brief report
of the town meeting that was held
for the purpose of considering the
propriety Of the town putting in
water works, and in that report ex-
pressed our opinion that the town
should own both it and the electric
light plant. We think so still, and
if the opportunity offers, shall vote
for this plan. But some lackadasical
boy in the Ne,Os of last week wrote
quarter column communication on
this subject to which he was ashamed
to affix his proper name-and we
don't wonder at his shame, for the
entire matter was a mis-statement
of facts from beginning to end. He
first says:
It is pity the Chronicle cannot
approach and discuss the water
works and electric light question in
a broad and impartial spirit. Any
fair-minded person can see from its
article in this weeks issue, that it
looks at the matter in a narrow dem
agOgic way.
Well, well. This is news to the
people of Milford and ourselves.
Look at it in a narrow way-well on
last Thursday night the people of
Milford didn't look at the electric
light in any way-broad or narrow
after 8 o'clock in the evening; be-
cause the plant was disabled and
not running, but the town has to pay
the bills just the same as fit had |
been in operation; but this was an
accident, of course; but never mind,
chat is small matter of not unfre-
quent occurrence.
We are accused ofbeing an enemy
to the electric light as follows:

ng to electric lights, as these seem
