The New York Sun receatly prints
an appreciative article upon the subject
of Senator Edward .. Wolcost's career,
his talents and bis idiosyncrasles. Curl
oualy enough, however, It neglected 10
give one ,uc,deu, which fairly illustrates.
we think, the gentleman fearlessness.
It seems that upon al OCCASION some
years ago frieni took Wolcoss for
drive in the suburbs of Leaivilie, and
Wolcot. expressed suspicion tha, the
horses were perhaps too frisky - be
trustworthy. Thereupon, tho friend set
about bantering aud badgering Woseo,t
upon his excessive timii,,y. Woleoit
bore this badinAge patiently, till pres
emily they began to descend one Of those
steep, almos, precipit,ous incines in
which Colorado roads abound.
"Wil you lie, me drive a~hilef" asked
Wolcott.
Certainly" answered the other, sus-
pecting no evil.
But no sooner had Wolcott 90. the
| reins than he trrncd 10 his companion
and said "You have been shaningA me
for my timidi,y. Ny turn has come now.
Wen see who squeals tirs,.'
With that he dung the reins Oh, over
the horses backs and began plying the
whip furiously. The frightened horses
dashed down the hill. swinging the
buggy around curves and agains. bowl
ders in such wise as to threaten It's de-
molition. Wolcott continued 10 ply the
vhip and to shout at the maidened
brutes, His friend chung, white and
trembling, to his seat. Il i marvel
that both were not killed. Finally the
buggy was overturned, the horses broke
away. and Wolcott aud MS friend were
left III confused heap, with broken
arm, sprained ankle and dozen body
cuts and bruises between 'em.
"Well, hov do you like it}f asked
Wolcott, gathering himself together and
emerging nimbly from the debris.
The other ans severed feebly but proudly
~ haint squealed yet!"-Chicago News

His declining years-for he was well
past the sixties denied him recreation,
though IN wet days he would OCCASION
ally put his macintosh over his should
ers and perch himself beside the pool
70. which Bracebridge was fa nous-and
patiently watch the float for hours at a
time. 1t is probable, however, that had
it hcen sunshine every day Of the year
the fish would have been minus one
enemy. For the sunshine brought the
children out 10 play, the sunshine al
lowed him to walk in the paths Of his
garden and watch the growth of his
roses. On wet DAYS he had neither chill
dreu nor flowers, so he went to the fish
fos consolation.
Old Holloway had two sources Of hap
pIness. His tiny cottage was known as
Rose Glen. If you ever went to Brace
bridge you would never dream of going
away without looking over the wicket
gate and lnhaling the sweet perfume Of
the old mans roses. They lined the
gravel pathway, for all the world like
floral sentries, as their owner passed be-
tween them to the porch. Rose trees
were everywhere. and every single bios
som was as familiar to him as the seals
on his watch chain, and he patiently fol-
lowed the progress Of each petal and the
unfolding Of every bud with as much
prid" and care as he would tnat Of the
growth Of his own child. Yes, the
flowers brou ,ht old Holloway happiness.
But he loved the children more. He
once said that, when their tiny faces
were looking up at him and smiling,
they, too, were flowers. Every child in
Bracebridge knew old Holloway. They
called him grandfather. You never met
him in the lanes without child hang
ing to his hand or his coat tails. Why,
the dear old fellow would make point
OF passing by the school just when the
children were coming out. Then he
would Tel them play on the grass Of his
garden. Let thems Nay, he would
play with them. and his laughter seemed
AS free as theirs, his shouts of merriment
as joyously innocent. Then wnea
the sun began to edge the hill.
with gold and crimson, he would
merrily drive them out Of his floral
domains, and watch them wave their
hands as they turned the pathway at the
'op OF the nil which lei to the villa re.

millions TO over twenty millions. The
new census viii show heavier increase
yet These items suffice to snow the
damning evidence Of facts ignored by
Mr.. Peck. Having pointed them out
Will now return to the facts adduced Sby
him to support his theory.
The Increase in products is set down
as ~'l 900, 600. The increase from 1870
to 1880 was $500, 000,OO0 Considering
the price il4ti1tiOns OF all commodities,
as compared with 1880, and the decline
in such important industries noted above,
the increase Of 1880 over $50 shows for
New York fully $500, 900, 600, or 66s
per cent On the same basis Of progress
sion the 81 OSO, 600, 900 of 1880 ought
to have grown to 81 800, 600, 900 in
1890. The years of the end of the de-
cade, however, must show the greatest
ratio of increase, partly on account of the
increase OF - per cent. in the population
OF the State AMI partly on account of the
general trade activity ruling in 1889,
1890 and 1891 against the great stagna
ton ruling and spreading in intensity
from 1888 to 1887. The ratio of in
crease ought from these considerations to
bc nearer hundred millions than seventy
millions, which would be the average of
the decade. If Mr.. Peck is not able to
snow more than thirty-one millions of
increase he and his theory stand con-
demned by his own figures.

Wexford seems 10 be in earnest. IL
was only last Thursday that the NEWS
received one hundred ballots for Mr. Wat
son from Master Gregory. This morning
comes another hundred with this letter:
wIcKFoRD, II. l., Feb. 20, 1899.
TO the Editors Of the Ne,cs:
Here we are against one hundred strong for L. J.
Watson, Jr.. with lots more TO come.
Respectfully yours,
Mr.. Watson is ahead today.
Mr.. Collin came in non chalantly, and
dropped 500 ballots on the contest mans
desk. But that leaves him No. just the
same.
Mr.. Dawson is working hard and will
be among the leaders at the end of the
race.
More for McGuy The leaders are all
much closer together now
Fifty ballots day is not a bad average
for Watson from one village. And its
about time for Chepachet TO be heard
from, too.
Also comes for Mr. Watson another big
bundle from Olneyville.
Also for Mr.. McGuy a bigger one from
one of the city labor unions.
Also more votes for Mr.. Dawson.
All the ballots have now been put
where the mice can't geC at them. They
really did no great damage.
Mr.. Norths ballots were the only ones
totally destroyed, except one and he's out
of the race. The mice must read the NEWS
and are considerate in their choice.

TARIFF SCHEDULE FIXED.
Order of Procedure of Bills Arranged by
Ways and Means Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-The House
Ways and Means Committee has decided
that the wool bill shall be the first OF the
tariff bills to be taken up in the House.
The second bill TO be considered will
probably be the bill making binding
twine free, and the third the cotton bag
ging bill.
Ii is likely that there will be discussion
OF the whole tariff question in the con-
sideration OF the wool bill, which IL is ex-
pected will occupy about three weeks.
The Democratic majority of the COM
mittee had a conference and talked over
the subject OF getting additional separate
tariff bills ready. Tin plate was consider
ed. One proposition before the commit
tee provides for admission OF tin plate
free of duty, and another fixes a rate at
one cent per pound on tin plate, this be-
ing the rate under the law OF 1883.
No conclusion was reached, but the sem
timent expressed was on the whole fav-
orable to free tin plate. The lumber and
salt bill have not yet been finally con-
sidered by the Democratic members Of
the committee. There is some difference OF
opinion with respect 10 those two items.

Fall River il Trying to Solve the Over
crowded school Problem.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 27.-An impor-
tant hearing took place before the school
committee TO consider the advisability OF
abridging the curriculum of the public
schools. Many OF the most influential
citizens were represented.
The general drift OF the discussion was
that the schools are over-crowded, and
teachers are unable TO give the needed
undivided attention TO pupils.
The committee is teaching only two
more studies than the laws require, those
being phsics and civics. >. B. Ashley said
