FAIRFIELD.

A strong argument in favor of the sys- tenn of school consolidation is found in the ''late unpleasantness'' at Holland hill district. Were consolidation in force now, or had it never been repealed, this difference of opinion could not have aris- en, in the present form at least.
 Services appropriate to the occasion will be rendered in the new guild room of St Paul's, next Sunday morning, pre- vious to it's occupation by the Sunday school for the first time. The services, which will be conducted by Rev Mr Jones. will commence about Il 45, the morning church service being some what shortened. The guild room has been en- tirely finished and presents pleasant appearance on the interior, while the ex- terior harmonizes with the body of the church.
 Afternoon service at St Paul's is now held at instead of o'clock.
 Regular west bound trains, both pas- senger and freight, used the new four tracks of the Consolidated road, Mon day, for the first time in this vicinity, from the Redfield quarry and crusher to the Mill Plain crossing. The north track was used, east bound trains still running on the south track. As soon as the work of ballasting the inside tracks was com- pleted, they were used and the four tracks are being brought into service as rapidly as possible.
 After morning service at the Congre- gational church, Sunday, an election of deacons was held. Nearly dozen names were ballotted for, but Edward Osborn and Benjamin Betts, receiving g and 46 votes respectively out of 64, were chosen.

A Dirty Kitchen.

One of the brightest women of my ac-
qu&intance impulsively invited me into
her kitchen one day to see feature OF
its arrangement, and seemed as morti-
fed as | was astonished to see a bean
sprouting out of an evidently old ac-
emulation in corner of the sink,
while in the hands of the cook was a
black and tattered rag which well de-
served to be labeled death dealing dish
cloth. This is no fancy sketch, but a
very fact, and the foul smelling dish
cloth, saturated with stale food, seemed
tome quite reason enough for the wretch
ed health the cook complained of, even
if the general state of the kitchen
were not responsible for the successive
deaths of three children Of the family.
My hostess attributed these to mys-
terious dispensation of Providence =

suicide. Jose Manuel Balmaceda, while
fugitive in hiding at the Argentine
legation in Santiago, fred bullet into
his head and went suddenly to his place.
Only four years ago he was the most
popular man in Chill. The country
prospered wonderfully under his admin
istration. He came of an old, rich and
highly honorable family, and had risen
by his eloquence and ability to the presi-
dency by an almost unanimous vote.
His early life, however, had been pecul-
lar, and some apologists think that q
wild vein in his nature, akin to insanity,
developed again late in life. His family
designed him for priest, but he re-
volted, left the Seminario Concilias in
which he was being educated, became a
turbulent young man and finally repu-
dated all religious belief.
He became an extreme Liberal, and
was long the leader of that party in
congress, serving five terms with great
credit. He had grown to be very
steady, reliable man, and under his
guidance the Liberals soon greatly out
numbered all other parties. In 1885 he
was made minister of foreign affairs.
The next year be became president, and
for three years all went well. He was
the idol of Chill. Then he began se-
ries of arbitrary measures, apparently
designed to prolong his power, as in
Chill the president is not eligible to re-
election. Congress and the cabinet op-
posed him and he seemed to grow
frantic.
He removed Liberals from office and
appointed his own tools in their place.
He melted local riots and made them an
excuse for increasing the army and en-
larging his powers. Finally he began a
series of wholesale arrests, so the Con-
gressionalists fled to the northern prov
inces and war followed. When his
army was beaten he could not reach the
foreign feet, and though but fifty-one
years old was not physically able to
stand the journey across the Andes in
midwinter august in that latitude).
So he wrote farewell letter defending
his course and died bS his own hand.

G v WHITE

a man who has made his presence felt to
the people around him ever since, in the
summer of 1854, he began the study of
law and did newspaper work at the same
time in st. Louis
He is best known as Deacon White,
and the most notable exploits of his life
have been those performed on the floor
of the Stock exchange. He gained
recognition as a shrewd speculator as
soon as he entered the arena of the bulls
and bears. That event occurred in 1865
Mr.. White had practiced law with great
success and had saved considerable
money, This he used to such good ad-
vantage in Iowa land deals that he in
creased it to very respectable fortune.
When he took this fortune and went
to Wall street with it his friends feared
for him. But he did not lose his money.
His dealings in stocks at once attracted
attention by their boldness, magnitude
and shrewdness. Many of the largest
of them were in the interests of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, At one time he was estimated
to be worth $12,000000 He was finan-
cial power.
In 1886 he went to congress from
Brooklyn. His career at Washington
was not marked by the same aggressive
ness that characterized his life in Wall
street. but he was concerned in several
important pieces of legislation. Among
the bills he introduced measure aimed
at ''green goods swindlers attracted
considerable attention.
Mr.. White has never been too busy to
give time and enthusiasm to his favorite
science, astronomy. Besides being a
star gazer of extraordinary skill, his
learning in other branches of science
amounts almost to erudition, and he has
many times evidenced the fact that he is
greatly interested in literature and art.
At the time of the recent disaster Mr.
White was associated with Franklin w.
Hopkins, his son-in-law, under the firm
style of S. V. White & Co. Their fail
ure was in no way due to operations in
stocks; but was broughtabout, it is said,
by an attempt to corner corn in fall
ing market. He was born in Chatham
county, N. c., Aug. 1, 1881, of Quaker
parents, who were obliged to leave the
state because of their opposition to
slavery

'wHA1 SOME NATIONS SMOKE.

RUSSIAN cigars are simply long rolls
OF evil-smelling leaf and arc only
smoked by the ''moujiks," or peasants
ENoL1sH cigars are made Of American
tobacco, but fail in manipulation. They
look bright and wooden" rather than
like q natural-lcaf product.
THE French cigars are very poor, but
as the Government controls the indus
try tho people arc obliged to use them
or pay high prices for Havana goods.
o.: THE cigar of tho native Rornean
living in the Indian archipelago, is o
black roll three inches long, tapering
to either end, the outer leaf covered
with network Of gray veins, like
cob web.
THE Patagonian cigar is mado of
''petihoby" tobacco and is three inches
long, quite straight, of dull gray-green
color. It would take a courageous man
to try it. yet the native children smoke
them all the time.
EGYPT uses a heavy black cigar,
shaped like barrel, not quite three
inches long. It looks strong enough to
draw load of wood and has thick white
veins upon its wrapper, which look like
pieces OF string rolled around it.

ever made were the 90, 900 Havanas made
for Spanish Marshal Prim as a present
for Napoleon Ill, each cigar being
stamped with the imperial N in gold.
They are said to have COST $4,000.
THE Italian cigar is National insti-
tuition. It is eight inches long, with a
straw through it, and is remarkable for
tho fact that the manufacturer oxhausts
all the fertile resources of his nature in
making it SO that it will not light.
In Hindostan the lSonds have for ages
allowed their hair to grow to great
length, which they twist round and
round the head and fasten into a knot in
front, in which they carry few cigars
made of tobacco rolled in green leaf.
The cigars of Germany arc bad. From
those smoked by the Emperor down
they are the Vilest trash, yet this is due
only to the public taste, for some very
good cigars are made by the Germans,
but the demand for them is very linn
tied.
TIE first cigars made by the Spaniards
we're of tobacco loosely rolled and held
together by tho silkcn lining of corn
shuckS and always with straw running
through tho center, to DO Withdrawn be-
fore smoking, SO as to secure a good
