There are always ways of getting
around laws, even of the modus vivendi
kind. Canadian coasters are so bent on
exterminating the Alaska seal that they
will sell their schooners to citizens of
nations other than Great Britain. The
schooners will be sailed under foreign
flags, but the same Canadian seal muir
derers will command them and continue
the trade. Then the other nations will
be brought into the embroglio APP
parently it has never occurred to these
pigheaded fellows that they can do any
thing else for a living than exterminate
seals, or that there is anything else in
the ocean worth catching.

NO CAUSE TO WORRY.

Mrs. Harrison Improving in Health at
Loon Lake.
LOON LAKE. Aug. 6.-There Is abso-
lutely no truth in the sensational reports
sent out from Washington that there Is
any cause for worry over Mrs. Harrison's
condition.
She is steadily on the mend, and is able
to take daily walks around the cottage
she is stopping at.
When seen by reporter Mrs. Harrison
looked considerably brighter and stronger
than when she first came here. At the
present time mountain air and perfect
quiet are her only physicians.
DR.. F. A. Gardener. who came with the
Presidents party from Washington. and
who has been aiding Mrs. Harrison, left
a few days ago for his summer home at
Nantucket.
Although Mrs. Harrison still receives
no visitors, she does not fail to take her
daily walks. al her meals, however,
are carried to the cottnge from the hotel.
Last evening Mrs Harrison took her
first drive since she has been at Loon
Lake behind w. H. Phillips's famous
team of trotters. She was accompanied
by Mrs. Dimmick and the nurse. AL
though the ride lasted but half an hour,
Mrs. Harrison appeared to have enjoyed it
keenly.
The statements that have gone out re-
porting Mrs. Harrison's condition as
worse are laughed at here. as she is
recovering health and strength

THE reports sent out concerning Mr.
Gladstone's health are evidently greatly
exaggerated. AS the telegraph, in Eng
land, is a portion of the government
postoffice system, no doubt these reports
are the outcome of tory wishes, even as
were the false reports of the break down
of the "Grand Old Man" that were so
literally sent to America, at the close of
the late elections-only to be exposed
and contradicted the moment the mail
correspondence were received. Mr.
Gladstone is an old man, and notwith-
standing the phenomenal vigor he con-
stantly shows, his opponents are ever
hopefully calculating on his death or
breakdown, as an effectual check to
the Irish home rule movement. The
expectation shows the political inanity
of those who entertain it. On the
question of home rule the people of
Ireland-united the world over-fought
Mr. Gladstone when he was as bitterly
opposed to its concession as are tories of
the present day. They beat him, on
that question, in his hey-day of power,
and compelled him to acknowledge that
they were right and he was wrong.
On that issue the last general election
was fought and won; and, now, not
merely Mr. Gladstone but the whole
liberal party in England are committed
to the granting of home rule to Ireland.
1t is no longer a question of men or
leaders-it is a compact of national
principle. Mr. Gladstone may pass
\ away, but the compact will hold and
will be carried out; because, for the first
time in their history, the Irish people
are in a position to enforce a political
agreement to which England is "the
party of the second part"

FALL RIVERS MYSTERY
Police Believe They Have an
Important Clue.
ONE OF THE GIRLS BOUGHT POISON.

Lizzie, the Younger Daughter, Identified
by the Drug Clerk Various Theories
Regarding the Murder--The Excitement
Remains at Fever Heat.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. ct il
stated that an important clue to the MUIR
derer of Andrew ]. Borden and his wife
is in the hands of the police.
From Clerk Eli Bence, at P. R. Smiths
drug store, they learned that Miss Lizzie
Borden had been in the store within SO
hours past, and had inquired for a GER
tain poison. The clerk was asked to ac-
company the officers, and they closely
questioned him as to the time of the girls
call, her condition mentally and the
amount and quality of the poison she had
bought and called for. The police then
took the drug clerk to a house on Second
street, where Miss Lizzie Borden was
stopping for the time being.
The clerk was not previously we'll &C.
Quainted with the young woman, but he
had told them that he could identify her
at sight. He did identify her, and in the
presence of the police informed them that
she was in his place of business and made
inquiry for bottle of poison.
Miss Borden's reply to this accusation,
as we'll as the exact Language which was
used at the time, IS known only to the
police.
Suspicion fixed itself after the murder
on members of the family who were in or
about the house at the time when the
tragedy took place, and the authorities
placed watch on Borden's daughter Liz
zie, who gave the alarm, and John w.
Morse, the brother of the dead mans first
wife.
Emma, the elder daughter, who was
visiting in the vicinity of New Bedford
when the murder took place, is at home
to-day and has charge of the house. Her
sister Lizzie is not in a much better state
than she was when she discovered her
father dead.
Nothing that has occurred here in years
has created and sustained such intense
excitement and the feelings of the public
are growing stronger. Business men have
paid more attention to the affair than
they have to the wants of customers.
Theories are advanced to prove that a
farm hand, a servant, a daughter, anuncle
and indeed, a brother-in- law were the as
sassins.
New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 6.-John N.
Morse, who is suspected of knowing
something about the double murder at
Fall River, made his home with Isaac G..
Davis at South Dartmouth. He belongs
in Hastings, Ia, and has lived in Mr..
Davis family for about year.
Members of the Davis family say he left
South Dartmouth Thursday for Fall
| River for the purpose of purchasing cat
tie for Mr.. Davis. They give him an ex-
| cellent name and do not believe that he
| is in any way connected with the affair.

An Argument for Good Roads.

Au AL4 0AACAS AOE ONNNA AsSsS~ASs
The sentiment in favor of improving
country roads Is growing every year.
It has reached our legislative as
semblies, and bills are being introduced
In order to secure state aid in the mat
ter. Good roads are things which no
class of persons would appreciate more
than physicians, and to none would
they bring more direct personal comfort
and even practical financial help. On a
good road the country doctor can
travel ten miles an hour, on bad one
barely five. The time required in
doing his work is doubled, the physical
WEAKNESS is increased, the amount of
visiting rendered possible Is curtailed.
Besides this the patient suffers, for the
doctors visits arc delayed and less
numerous. He cannot watch the pa
tient so closely, and he brings to his
horse would argue most eloquently Of
all If he could speak in favor of good
roads. His working life would be
heightened and his working days made
easier. With good roads the bicycle
could be utilized, and through its in
MIGRATING influence, perhaps, the coun-
try doctor would cease, as the years
rolled on, to become obese from too
much sitting in a wagon, his wits
would be sharper, his professional work
better. BY all means, then, says the
New York Medical Record, let the
doctors take up the gospel Of good
roads and urge forward their construc-
ton. They make intercourse more
easy, work less burdensome, life more
enjoyable; and they are, in fine, an in
dex of the progressivenessa and civiliza-
ton of community.

PROOF AGAINST CHOLERA.
Experiments with Bacilli Which ShOv
Wonderful Results.

BERLIN, Aug. 6.-Prof. Brieger, of this
city, one of Prof. Koch's co-operators,
and his assistant, DR.. Wassermann, have
been making some very interesting ex-
perieme nts with the cholera bacili. They
have cultivated these in liquid extracted
from the mammary glands of calves. This
liquid was afterward heated to 149 de-
grees Fahrenheit and kept at that tenn
perature for Is minutes.
Then it was deposited in a refrigerator,
and left there for one day. Subsequently
cubic meter of this liquid was injected
into the abdomens of guinea pigs, one in
jection being made each day. After four
injections the guinea pigs thus treated
were found to be absolutely proof against
any contagion from the cholera bacilli,
whereas the bacilli of the disease, upon
being introduced into the system of ami
mails which had not been inoculated, in
variably killed them in about Is hours.

failure to prove his charge of drunken
ness against members of the house. The
only member he dared to name was
Judge Cobb of Alabama, and against
his assertion that he believed him to
have been intoxicated when he made a

statements of a score of prominent
members that Mr. Cobb was not even in
the slightest way under the influence of
liquor when he made the speech re-
ferred to. Watson refused to name any
other member to the investigating COM

LABOR TROUBLES AT THE FAIR.


The Carpenters May Go on Strike Because
Tncy Havr to Work Overtime.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Trouble is brewing
between organized labor and the World
Fair Company. AT the meeting of the
Carpenters Council the business agent
made report which was backed up by
the signatures of numerou carpenters
employed on the grounds, setting forth
that the eight-hour agreement and all
other agreements made between the Fair
Directory and the labor people were being
ignored.
1t was said that not only were the con
tractors violating the agreement, but the
commission itself was working men nine
and ten hours. A committee was APP
pointed to visit the grounds and make a
full investigation. The labor men are
much dissatisfied with the way matters
are going, and strike of the carpenters
on the grounds is not among the improb-
abilities
