the east slope OF the great Spring Hin
coal mines. the largest in Nova Scotia
Saturday afternoon and the loss of life
was frightful, it being almost certain
that seventy men and boys were killed

Carmichael, Joseph Tatersall, Willie
Brown, Phillip B. White, Thomas
Holet, David Watt and William Mckee.
The work of recovering the bodies is
being pushed forward.
Many of the bodies taken out are al
most unrecOgnizable. The dead are
being identified by sorrOwing friends
and relatives amid heartrending scenes
In the family of J. Armishav three
sons are dead and that of Fred Carmich-
The injured are being cared for and
everything possible is being done for
them. Doctors from ParrsbOrO, Am

THE SUBSIDY SHIP BILL.

IIcau Detection.

It's Future Extremely observation-disclosures
IIciin Detection.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The subsidy
shipping bill, which is to be given day
this week in the hope of effecting its
passage, is in a most uncertain cOndi-
ton. Although it is regarded as a re
publican measure, there are several
western republicans who will vote
against it, so that the presence of full
republican majority does not assure the
passage of the measure. The only
hope of getting the bill through is
to secure democratic votes enough to
make up for the republican defec-
ton. This is not so certain = few
democrats from the North Atlantic coast
are for the bill, but those from the
south are not. They do not believe the
reports recently given out that steam
ship lines are to be run from Alabama
or South Carolina ports to South Ameri-
ca. They say the subsidy men are only
trying to catch them with such stories,
and they are opposed to subsidies any
way. Powerful Influences are being
brought to bear to secure this legisla-
ton, thought to be so necessary to the
fulfllment of the policy of reciprocity
now being worked out, and incidentally
there is a great deal of speculation in
Pacific Mail stock being INDUCED in.

Why should money be scarce?-Danrille
Register.
It should not be, but it is, if reports are
true.
One reason why money is scarce is be-
cause so many people spend more than they
can earn. Another reason is because it is
possible, under our credit system. for al
most anybody to 60 into debt beyond the
means Of pay.
Another reason Is because it takes so
much more of luxury to satisfy in this day
and time than in the old times. People
cannot be content with simple inexpensive
living and, not being able to command larg.
er steady incomes, they fancy themselves
in need.
1t is so much harder to retrench in the
matter of expense than it is to be extrav-
agant. Money is wasted, thrown away. 1t
burns through the pockets of the men and
women of to day, and is drawn back into
the places where it is boarded as matter
of business. The cry for more money is
largely due to an unnatural condition of
the body polite. Just as thirst is caused
by fever, or by excess of saltiness in the
stomach, so thirst for more money is
caused by artificial and unnatural condi-
tons of life. We can often drink much
more water than we need or is good for US.
We can and do spend far more money than
is necessary for our we'll being, and the love
of money is the root Of all evil-that is a
proverb of divine wisdom.
with reasonable, simple and economical
living and reasonable industry among all
conditions of mankind in this country mon
ey would not be scarce.-"Norfolk Land

A stitch in time. Take Simmons Liver
Regulator and prevent sickness.

When we trust person and he deceives
US, it makes impressions on our minds that
are not easily removed. Feelings that we
would rather not enter tain involuntarily
take possession of US, and thoughts arise
that we would like to Danish. Betrayal of
confidence, under all circumstances, pro-
duces lack of respect and awakens cau--
tiousness. Sometimes it has very u =
wholesome influence in business affairs.
We believe lack of confidence is doing
more to injure the business of this country
than all things else combined. Every bank
failure, embezzlement and swindle, of what
ever character, is calculated to destroy the
confidence which is so essentially necessary
in business circles.
If every man would pursue straightfor-
ward, honest course in life, dong to others
as he would have them do to him, it would
rebound to his own and his country's good.
No man who loves himself and his fellow
man., can swindle and deceive. Honesty is
not only the best policy, but also the best
principle. fredericksburg Star"

A Snake Tries to Swallow Baby.

HUNTINGTON, W. VA, August 19.-Mrs.

near Buffalo Shoals, was engaged in max

months old baby sleeping In its cradle.
She shortly afterward heard the infant cry,
and hurrying into the cabin discovered an
enormous black snake, partially coiled
about the child. The snake had swallowed
the child's arm to the shoulder. The
mother succeeded in killing the snake and
rescuing her child. The snake was over
seven feet long and fought wickedly. The
baby's arm was blistered as though it had
been in boiling water.

The Farmers and the Tariff.

In order to make the Mckinley tariff bill
more palatable to the farmers, the duty on
foreign wool was increased. But since Inc
passage of that bill, as every farmer Knows
wool has dropped in price. Not only ID
this 80, but foreign wool is higher than our
protected wool: and not only is this 1acS
at present, but foreign unprotected wooi
has ranged at higher price than our pro-
tected wool for the last decade.
The following table showing this IL
structive fact, and the remarks preceding
it come from an orthodox protectlonlst
source, and the reason it was compiled and
published, is as instructive to the farmer as
the table itself. When the Mckinley bill
increased the duty on foreign wool, the
wool manufacturers of New England and
elsewhere were up in arms They thought
their business was to be destroyed by the
high price of their raw material consequent
upon the increased duty. Their objections
| were met by an argument of the Boston
Home Market Club, the most thorough and
hide.bound protectionist club in New Eng
land. OF that argument the following
table and the remarks preceding it is an
| extract:
| It's q mistaken idea with many manufac-
| turers that foreign prices of wool are neces'
| sarily lower than home prices under Protec
ton. They average higher. They would b
| much higher but for a large and certain domes
tic supply. The following table is instructive;
