of interviews painful to the Prince

They paid their dues promptly, and the
other day were to get 800 each. They
received in fact just nothing at all. But

these give-away schemes.
Here are some representative states
men of the present era: Ex-Gov. James
NJ. Ashley of Ohio, is before the court of
that State chargeq with evading taxes on
S25, 900, 900. Senator Calvin Brice is now
before the same court on the charge of
evading taxes on 81 100000.

for temperance. 1t describes the pro-
posed Fourth of July celebration at
Montpelier as ''rum's carnival and AYERS

There are over eighty species or
members of the golden rod family,
which the school children of this State
have adopted as thei ,favorite flower by a
large majority, and this great family is
almost entirely confined to North
America; England and the continent
having only one member; Asia one; !;
South America two, and the Azores one.
The writer once picked ten distinct va
rieties of the golden rod on trip from
Keene Flats to Elizabethtown. 1t is a

but it remains snowy until the frosts
come and the children like it.-Platts-

John w. Bookwalter, the wealthy
Ohio manufacturer-aside from his
efforts to solve the aerial navigation
problem and gain an election to the
United States Senate-has a plan for
organizing villages in farm communities
that rural life may be relieved of the
depressing and Misunderstanding loneli-
ness that now makes it so unattractive.
He will begin with his tenants on 60, 1000
acres of land owned by him in Nebraska
bringing them together in village,
where he will build town-house and Ii
brary. Thus the farmers can return to
their homes in the village at night, and
sharpen their minds by the social recrea-
ton thus made possible for the evening.
The trial of the indicted Directors of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railway for unlawfully heating passen-
ger cars by stoves and thereby causing
the deaths of six persons last February
was begun Monday. The trial ended by
release of all except the president and
his case was continued.
1t is wrong to experiment with uncer-
tain remedies. Dr. Bulls Baby Syrup
at once cures the troublesome collie or
diarrhea affecting the baby.
The wonderful sale and popularity OF
Laxador is not so surprising, when the
very wide range of its adaptation to dis
ease is considered.
The tfial of Lyman G.. Clark of Hart
ford, for the murder of his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Miriam Marston, Saturday,
November 90, 1890, was concluded at
verdict of acquittal by the jury. There
is strong suspicion that Clark half de-

The Prince of Wales is said to be
getting the cold shoulder from the no.
bility of England. He has intimated to
several aristocratic magnates in different
parts of the county that he is open for
engagements at the close of the London
season, and that he would be pleased to
visit them. 1t is said that the reception
of these overtures has not been altogeth-
er favorable.

Certainly. Because the company in
question was chartered under the liberal
corporation laws of Colorado, and must
comply with their requirement that the
annual meeting be held in that State.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces through an agent in a
card that the reports regarding its losses
are exaggerated. Perhaps so How much
are the lossesP The policy holders want
to know. And how is it that the leading
officer of the company is junketing with
the grand old defaulter in London? If
the agent is able. to assure the public
that the amount of the loss is exaggerated,
he ought to know how it is. The tele-
graphic accounts show great losses and
gross mismanagement is evident. We
are not interested personally, but many
of our readers are and they are entitled
to some satisfaction. In their behalf we
ask how much is the loss?-Tfoy Press.
