or PRESENT INTEREST

President c. X. Larrabec, Of the
Fairhaven Land company, returned
yesterday from a sOjOurn OF several
weeks at the East, having spent some
time in each of the cities st. Paul,
Chicago, New York and Boston. His
return has been anXiously looked for
by the people Of Fairhaven, who were
disposed 10 think that he would be
able upon his return to give some
definite facts with regard TO the in
tentiOns of the Great Northern rail-
road and other matters akin thereto
Ia connection with Fairhaven.
A HERALD reporter called on NJ.
Larrdbee last evening and presents an
interview with him in these pages
this morning. lie does not
make these matters any more definite,
for good and sufficient reasons
of his own, and because of circum-
stances over which he has no control.
in the way Of condolences. Besides,
as a very prominent railroad man said
to a HERALD representative a few
days ago, Exactly what they are go
ing to do is exactly what railroad com
panies generally tell after those things
have been done, and not before"
The HERALD has never had any
doubt as TO what the Great Northern
people intend doing in Fairhavei
when they "get good and ready" ant
it is not likely that they will d,
any OF those things, grea
or small, until the conditions ar,

few years ago, would have been con.
sidercd almost as preposterous as a
scheme to bridge the Atlantic. In the
face OF these facts the Great Northern
company has much else to think OF
Just now, as important to that organi-
zation as to Fairhaven, though not SC

people. But, IAN things come To him

Old Hepsy had lived in the Morse family
for great many years, and being an
economical soul and not given to display,
had saved n comfortable sum during her
time of service. When she reached the age
OF sixty, she announced her intention of
giving up work and retiring to tiny
house which she had keep her eye on goin'
on ten years." and there to live with a
niece who was in the millinery business,
Fan dom well for herself"
Hepsy was anxious to present the Morses,
on her departure, with some gift which
should be at once appropriate and not too
expensive, and she spent much time in the
stores searching vainly for something ex-
actiy to her mind. One day, however, she
returned home in triumph with a prize
which she spread out before the astonished
gaze of her niece.
'Now, IL you ever see anyt ing hand
somer an better suited than this, Lucin-
dy," said Hepsy confidently, you can jest
let me know"
With that she spread out on the kitchen
table a white silk handkerchief of enor-
nous size. In one corner there was EN-
broidered, in the most brilliant Of colors, a
birds nest in which were two large and
two small birds, and flying away from it
still another bird, of particularly gaudy
plumage and widely extended wings.
TITS very handsome, aunt" said Lucin
da, hesitating little, "but how do you
mean it's so well suitedf'
"Well," said Hepsy, with sniff Of CON
tempt, 81 did suppose should have to ex
plain it all Quit Don't you see, Lucindy,"
she proceeded in commiserating tone,
there's Mr.. Morse in the nest, an Mrs.
Morse in the nest, an frankie an Emily
in the nest, an Master Willie flown to
heaven abovel Why, | think it's beauti

with accounts giving sickening details
Of atrocious crimes, but the local
pages of all the great dailes read
much as if most that was going on is
in criminal way. This is not any
more true OF one particular locality
than Of the whole country. Never in
the history Of the country have more
brutal Outrages of every description
been committed. 1t is hardly fair TO
charge the increase Of crime up to
better facilities for getting informa-
ton. Such theory has been doing
service for the past decade, and yet it
falls far short of hitting the facts.
Precisely what is the cause of course
cannot be pointed out. The fact is
that there are hundreds of causes,
each important and each being prom
inent factors in filling the jails and
overcrowding the court dockets. In
stead of falling back on the c0nven-
lent idea that we only hear more Of
what is going on, it would be the part
If wisdom for philanthropists and
humanitarans TO delye deeper into
the annals of crime and see If a rem
edy cannot be prescribed.
In New York il was claimed that
the fear of meeting an awful death by
electrocution would deter men from
mourning death in that way, but the
latest reports from that state show
that there are more cases on the dock
cts Of the courts now when conviction
means death by this new penalty than
at any other time in the history OF the
state. Here we have an effect, and
the cause should lie hunted out. As a
preventer of crime, iHHicting the
death penalty by any mode is failure.
1t avenges society for wrong but
fails to serve as warning to others.
Here is work to do, to think out some
remedy.

A Mrs. Lease, who figures with the
cranks and Observation-Disclosures out in
Kansas, Iowa and elsewhere, has
changed the thing and is advising the
farmers to raise less corn and more
pandemonium. Such advice is not
only bad, but coming from a woman
makes it more shocking. Besides, the
farmers will find it misleading anC
that they can realize more on corn
even at 10 cents a bushel. Moreover
the business in which she is engaged

IL is a trite adage that "time is
money" Heretofore it has taken
time to make ice-cream. Yesterday
the Seattle Telegraph had an article
explaining a new process of making
ice-cream Gin the twinkling OF an
eye" The reduction in the time Of
making the frozen sweetness should
also reduce the price, on the hypothe-
sis, mentioned above, and therefore
this should be good news for the young
men who have small salaries, and who
have also best girls with large appe-
titles for the luscious frigidity.
