The original and only genuine Compound
Oxygen Treatment that Of Drs. Starkey d
Palen, is scientific adjustment of the ele-
ments of Oxygen and Nitrogen 'nagnetized;
and the compound is so condensed and
made portable that it is sent all over the
world.
1t has been II use for more than twenty
years; thousands of patients have been treat
ed, and over one thousand physicians have
used it, and recomln end it-a very sisniti
can't fact.
1t does not act as most drugs do, by Gre
ating another ailnent, and benetitting one
organ at the expense Of another, often re-
quiring second course to eradicate the evil
effects of the FIRST but Compound Oxygen is
q revitallZer, renewing, Strengthening, in
rigorating the whole body.
These statements are confirmed by nu-
merous testimonials, published in our book
of 200 pages, only with the express permis-
sion Of the patients; their names and adj
dresses are given, and you can refer to them
for further information.
The great success of our Treatment has
given rise to host of imitatoSs, unscrupu-
lous persons; some calling their prepara-
tons Compound Oxygen, often appropriat-
ing our testimonials and the names of our
patients, to recommend worthless eoncoc-
tons. But any substance made elsewhere
or by others, and called Compound Oxygen,
is spurious.
"Compound 0eyyen-Ns Mode Of Action and
Results" is the title of new book of 200
pages, published by Drs. .Starkey & Palen,
which gives to all inquirers full information
as to this remarkable curative agent, and a
record of surprising cures in a wide range
abandoned to die by other physicians. Will

IN GEN ERAL.

The growth of horse racing in the last
ten years is illustrated by the fact that i'm
1880 the money added to prizes by the rae
ing associations amounted 10 S1S0,000.
Now it reaches $4,000, 900.
Canada only lacks 237, 600 square miles
to be as large as the whole continent of
Europe; it is nearly 30 times as large as
Great Britain and Ireland, and is 100000
square miles larger than the United States.
The demand for dimes is so great that all
the mints have been set to work turning
out these pieces to the exclusion of the
standard dollar. One reason for the scar
city is supposed to be the dime pocket saw

ular fancy.
Since Bismarck retired from his official
duties in Berlin he has devoted himself
largely to developing his business enter
prises. In Friedrichruhe, especially dur
ing the last year, his factories have been
enlarged and run to their full capacity.
His potteries have had more orders than
they could fill.
For a number of years a pair of storks
built their nest annually i'm the park of the
castle Ruheben, in Berlin. A few years
ago one of the servants placed a ring with
the name of the place and date on the leg
of the male bird. in order to be certain that
the same bird returned each year. This
spring the stork came back to its custom
airy place, the bearer of two rings. The
second one bore this inscription: "lndia
sends greeting to Germany"
Captain j. c. zimmerman, whose posi-
tion in the government service kept him in
Utah for several years, does not take any
stock in the idea that the Mormons have
given up polygamy and are leaving the ter
ritOry. Although Ostensiby obeying the
United States law, he says, and prOclaiming
obedience to it from the pulpit, the secret
practice of polygamy still goes on, and the
Saints take great delight in their success in
fooling the Gentiles. The Mormon element
in Utah is stronger in some ways than it
has ever been. The MOrmOns are willy
enough to put themselves on record openly
as favorable TO obedience to United States
laws. At the same time they are quietly
extending their business and commercial
connections to come in contact with Cen
tiles to make Jack Mormons out of them.
A Jack Mormon is a Gentle who is willing,
for the sake of his business connections
with the MormOns and the money he makes
out of them, TO let them alone in their re-
ligious and social practices. A company
of Mormons has just erected new hotel in
Salt Lake, opposite the Temple, at the cost
of over half a million dollars, which is suf-
ficent proof that they are not yet ready to
leave Utah.

lactorily done i'm two days time.
1t has been generally felt since the adj
iournment of the regular session last No
vember that a grave mistake was made in
the meagre appropriation provided for Yer
mont's representation at the worlds fair.
The time is one when Nermonts resources
and capabilities are being brought to the
attention Of the public as never before. and
viewed purely as a business investment it
would be wise and far-seeing policy to Sc
cure such a representation at Chicago as
will show the hundreds of thousands of
visitors who will gather there what Yer
mont is really like and what she has to of
fer to those who become her residents.
There should be no provision for sum
mer's iunket for anybody at the states cx-
pense, hut it is a piece Of penny wisdom
and pound foolishness not to secure for the
state an adequate and dignifed representa-
ton. AMI one which will not leave every
Vermont visitor at the exposition feeling

Gov. Pages proclamation convening the
legislature in special session on August 25,
as anticipated, is printed at the head OF
our editorial columns. While the Govern
or does not attempt to specifically limit the
work of the session, he suggests only three
subjects of legislation as requiring atten-
tion-an act to secure the payment of the
direct tax money, one in regard to a site
for the government building at st. Albans,
and further and suitable appropriation
for the worlds fair at Chicago. 1t is I'M
mistakably the wish, not of the Governor
alone, but of all the people of the state,
that the session should be a short one, and
confined exclusively to these immediate
subjects of legislation. To let the bars
down and enter upon general legislation in
any direction would be a great mistake.
The legislature is already organized, there
is no choice of officers or general commit

MINOR NOTES.

Mr.. Alfred Dodge, the well-knOwn man
ufacturer of Dolgevile, n. Y, bears wit
ness, in a letter in the New York World,
to the fact that the Mckinley bill has not
added more than ~ cents, on the average,
to the cost of a piano by its rates on ma
terials, while it has given the American
manufacturer the home market, and has
made possible the maintenance of Ameri-
can rates of wages.
Business in Europe is greatly depressed,
owing to the Barlngs' failure, followed by
poor crops. 1t is especially bad among
hotel keepers, whose only dependence now
is on Americans travelling abroad.
Frederick Douglass, who recently came
home on the customary sixty days leave of
absence, has resigned the Haytien mission.
New - silver certificates are soon to be
issued bearing a portrait of Secretary
Window.
The New York World is responsible for
the story that the importers of New York
have raised $500, 600, to be used in defeat
ing Mckinley in Ohio.
Hon. Hamilton Fish, one of the three
surviving secretaries of state of the United
States, one of the four surviving governors
of the state of New York, and one of the
five surviving United States senators from
that state, recently celebrated the eighty
third anniversary of his birth. Mr.. Fish

has not lost his zest in matters of public
interest

EngIand's D,cIinIng commerce. II.


In sharp contrast with the steady eXpan-
sion of the foreign commerce of the Unit
ed States, which, under the Mckinley tar
if, has attained the largest figures in our
history, is the decline that is going on in
the commerce of Great Britain. During
July the British imports decreased 81 ,3OO,-
600 and the exports S1l, 100000 as com
pared with the statistics for the correspond
ing month OF 1890. During the first sew
en- months of the present year the imports
into Great Britain have shown an increase
of $4,000, 600, while the exports have de
creased $50, 900, 600, or total shrinkage
in the volume of British foreign trade of
about $4,000, 900. In the early portion
of this period, while exports We're decreas-
ing imports were increasing but now it
appears that there is a decline of both i'm
ports and exports. The Mckinley tariff
or some other influence is playing the mis-
chief with British commerce.

Ten Months of Mckinley Prices.


The Mckinley tariff law went into effect
ten months ago August g. There were
predictions at the time by free trade and
Mugwump papers that stagnatiOn of bust
ness and trade would follow. The con-
spiracy against prosperity was begun to
keep off improvement in business. In large
lines of goods prices We're raised without
reason, the excuse being given that the in
crease was due to the Mckinley bill. 1t
was declared that no new industries would
spring up in this country and that old in
dustries would not be stimulated. The ten
months that have elapsed since these pre-
dictiOns were made have utterly disprOved
each land every one of them. Trafie and
commerce have followed in the even
tenor of their courses. The country is
generally prosperous. The commodities
on which prices were raised for political
effect can nearly all be purchased at lower
prices than before the Mckinley bill went
into force. New industries are being estab-
lished. Old industries are fourishing
The only place where stagnation is to be
found is in the speculative circles of Wall
street Actual prices, not Mckinley
prices gotten up for the moment, are de
monstrating to the people that the McKin-
ley bill is a good piece Of national legisla-
ton Prices Of commodities on the whole
have declined, and the people know the
reason. 1t is due to protection. and the
gratifying feature Of it all is that the Dem
ocratic press. having asserted that the
forced high prices of last fall were McKin-
ley prices, cannot now with consistency
deny that the present low prices are also
Mckinley prices.

The sixth biennial report of the bureau

there are 7,966,56G acres which are mort

of the products from the area mortgaged
is estimated by the bureau at S75, 229, ,G02,
or about 90 per cent of the principal of the
entire mortgage indebtedness. The aver
age term of the mortgages is less than three
years, and the average rate of interest is
only 90 per cent. These figures show that

The Truth Abou, Mr. Blaine,
LFrom The New York sun

The exact truth about Mr. Blaine, as we
understand ii. is that he is neither in pre-
carious physical condition nor in midsum-
mer politics. He is the doomed victim
of no organic disease that medical Wig
lance has been able to detect. He is
still his physicians patient. in the sense
that he receives calls from that gentleman
and much good advice about his daily regi-
men: but Mr.. Blaine is quite clear of the
apothecary. He is growing stronger every
day. He is probably not well enough yet
to make long speech at an open-air meet
ing, or to climb the east side of Newport
mountain without serious fatigue. He is
well enough to pursue without inconyen-
ience and with enjoyment the ordinary rou-
tine of domestic life at his summer home
in Mount Desert. He is not well enough
to yield with safety to the most dangerous
temptation of cOnvalescence, and to resume
full speed at once in official, social and busi-
ness matters. He walks out of doors,
drives about the island, and eats and sleeps
with keen appreciation of returning health.
He is secluded from social intercourse
and from affairs only to the degree sug-
gested 10y ordinary prudence. His person
al friends, as a rule, understand perfectly
the value of rest to Mr.. Blaine at this time,
and they attach no undue significance to
precautions which are intended to prevent
anything that may retard recovery, but by
no means dictated by absolute necessity.

Attention is called to the fact that the

Army OF the Republic John Palmer of
Albany is not a general, nor even a colonel,
but just plain ordinary captain whose ca
reer as a soldier was a striking one. He
enlisted at the outbreak OF the war. and

gun was fired. He was successvely pri-
vate, corporal, sergeant, sergeant

iutant and "A captain, AMI he earned his

Death Of George Jones Of the New York
TiInCs.


George Jones. the proprietor of the New
York Times who died at Poland Springs,
Maine. Wednesday, was another of the
sons of Vermont who have gained distinc-
tion outside of the state. He was born in
Poulmry 50 years ago. and it is a singl-
lar and interesting fact that he and Horace
Greeley were boys together. and worked
for the same man at Poutney, Jones as an
errand hoy and Greeley as printers devil.
When Mr.. Greeley began the publication
of the Tribune Mr.. Jones declined to join
him, having no faith in Greeleys business
ability. He entered the publishing bust
ness at Albany, and while there projected
the Times with Henry j. Raymond. and
they were the men who made the Times
one of the leading newspapers of the cOun-
try. Mr. Jones was not great editor in
the sense that Greeley and RAYMOND were.
but he achieved unusual success as a man
ager one of the incidents in Mr.. Jones 5
newspaper career was his exposure of the
Tweed ring The documents proving the
stealings were offered another paper and
declined. Mr.. Jones took them, but be-
fore they were published he received an
offer from Tweed to buy out the Times at
any valuation in cash This was refused
and then a direct offer of five million dol
lars was made the newspaper proprietor if
he would withhold the documents. But
all propositions were declined, and the
proofs of the frauds were published. 1t
was through the unhinching work of the
Times, seconded by Nast's pencil in Har-
per's Weekly, that the Tweed ring was
broken and rooted up.

the average rate Of interest is by no means
as high as it has been represented. The
entire mortgage debt, moreover, averages
only about $40 per acre for the area under
mortgage and about S3 per acre for the to-
tai area of farming lands of the state. The
entire mortgage Indebtedness is about one
eighth the assessed value of the farm lands
of the state. This is very different state

The great decline in exports from Great
Britain is undoubtedly due to the operation
of the Mckinley law in the United States
We have been told that that act would
eventually prove real misfortune to the
United States but its immediate object was
to hit foreign manufacturers, especially
those of Great Britain. and it is plainly
eyident that This object has been attained.
