election for director. That is unwise
and unfortunate. 1t would have been
better had Mr.. Huntoon and Mr.. Curry
promptly laid Mr.. McKenzle's motion
on the table. There does not seem to
be any good reason to doubt that Mr.
Hartley is well qualified for the super
intendency. His Endorsements are
creditable, his appearance and CONVEX
sation impress one favorably and he is
very highly spoken of by residents of
Fairhaven who knew him in the east
and whose opinions are entitled to
respect. If the question is to be
to be a question in the school election
1t is to be hoped that sufficient interest
will be aroused to prevent the election
of anyone who would be likely to sup
port a motion to reconsider or rescind
the vote by which Mr.. Hartley was
elected. 1t would not be a "fair deal"
1t is a matter in which the ladies have
an opportunity to exercise a salutary
influence, as they are entitled to vote,
and they should do so.

HE BEAT THE RECORD.

How a Denver Man Was Engaged to a
Girl Before He Proposed to Her.
Five or six Of the hotel guests were
seated out under the trees one evening
talking about the folly of long engage
ments.
"I'll tell you what" spoke up young
man, pulling his hat over his eyes, as he
lazily swung in the hammock. 81 was
only engaged to my wife two months
and we were married three months after
we met"
my sister," returned a pretty girl,
"only knew her husband three weeks
and they were only engaged two weeks"
"Is she happy" asked some one.
"Oh, perfectly! The young man met
her on the street one day and declared
that she was the very girl for him. Oh,
it was so romantic"
"This only helps to prove my theory"
said an old maid of the party, with a
reminiscent look. 1T is a mistake to
wait too long"
zone of my friends" chimed in a
sprightful voice, answered a personal
in a New York paper, and three days
later the couple met by appointment.
Would you believe it, they were married
the next day.
II know a true story that beats that"
spoke up a western girl, who evidently
wished to keep up the reputation of her
state in the story line. "a man whom
] knew well was going from Austin to
a town about forty miles distant. In
front Of him sat pretty girl with whom
he struck up an acquaintance. The girl
intended to change cars at the station
which was the young mans destination.
But just think of it, When they reached
that town they stepped off the train as
lively as you please, got a license and
the knot was tied in jiffy-less than
an hour after the couple met"
A blond young man in labor saving
attitude, who had been listening with
considerable interest, drawled:
II know of case that in its way is
quite as interesting. 1t started out well.
never heard how it ended"
do tell itP spoke up several at once,
as the young man seemed about to re-
lapse into thoughtfulness again.
"a girl know was engaged to fell
low an hour before he was engaged to
her"
"Impossiblei" exclaimed several
'How did it happen:"
"Wel, he lived in Denver, she in Bos-
ton, and she answered Yes by tele-
graph"
The blond young man looked reflect
lively at the crowd. They looked mourn
fully at him, and one by one they stole
back into the hotel.-New York Herald.

l notice that the papers are very loud
in their praise of the admirable service
rendered during the late conventions by
the United Press, a very deserving thing
to do, but we think you have overlooked
speaking a word of praise to those hard
working and faithful servants Of the
public, namely, the telegraph operators.
by whose skill it was sent and received,
whose skill went far in permitting the
papers to so quickly set the news before
their readers. True enough, the tele.
graph operator is little thought Of and
seldom mentioned. Still. we think they
are a very important instrument in the
progress of our country and would like
TO be encouraged.-An Old Operator in

which may cost them their situations.
Both engines were shutters and each

A Wyoming man, writing a long let
ter to an eastern paper in explanation Of
the rustler troubles, says the rich cattle
barons have had free occupancy Of the
government lands for so many years
that they now look on them as their
own and are unwilling to give them up
for settlement TO actual homesteaders,
although the government opened them
TO the settlers. The war attempted by
the cattle barons was, he says, war to
drive the homesteaders off the lands
they had taken under government guar
antee. In any case it is probably true
that the days of the great cattle ranges
are numbered and that cattle will more
and more be raised by farmers in small
er "bunches."

man, John Gray by name, was sent TO
remedy the trouble. He assembled the
pole, fifty feet in height, and swung the
lamp around so that it would come
within his reach Then he started to fix
it The next moment the few people
watching him in the semidarlness saw
him lean over and fall 10 the ground be-
low, striking upon his head. The Notre

man was dead before it reached him.

WAGES PUCHASING POWER

The following comparisons between
the purchasing power of his wages i'm
1872, before the demonstration a silver,
and 1892, are made by workingman,
writing i'm the Boston Journal, viz:
"The days work would purchase of
flour in 1872 one-quarter Of a barrel; 1892,
one-half Of barrel; salt pork in 1872, II
pounds; 1892, "a pounds; sugar, in 1872, %
pounds; in 1892, IS pounds; lard. In ls72,
20 pounds; 1892, 81 pounds; cheese. in 1s72,
II pounds; 1872. % pounds: beans, in 1872,
% quarts; 1892, "a quarts; print, in 1872,
20 wards; in 1899, As yards: cotton cloth,
in 1872, "a yards; 1892, IS yards; coal, in
1872, one-ffth Of ton; 1892, one-half of a
ton"
That is, the wages have doubled in
the purchasing power of most goods,
and increased two and one-half times
in the purchase of sugar and coal.
Here is a workingman who doesn't
take much stock in the talk about
starvation wages

All womanly women will be glad TO
hear Of the vindication Of Helene Vaca-
resco, who was torn from the side Of
her betrothed, Prince Ferdinand of Rou-
mania, "for reasons Of state" She was
not titled, and he, it was declared, must
wed with the scion Of royal family.
After his engagement to daughter Of
the Duke of Edinburgh, it was said
that Mile. Vacaresco had sent the let
tiers received by her from the prince
to his new fancee. This of course
was attributed TO disappointment and
righteousness, but now the Rome CORE
spondent of a leading Paris paper de-
clares that 81 must say that 1 know per

Vacaresco has been illuminated by those
who say that she has made unfair use of

prince of Roumania. tits false that she

Of the letters to the Duke of Edinburgh,

do such a thing" Mile. Vacaresco is a
very beautiful and talented young wom-
an, and as before intimated, it is pleas
ant to learn that she didn't make fool
of herself.

Mr.. w. ii. Allen, of Brooklyn, who
has evidently Investigated the matter
with some care and in detail, writes to
the New York Press making an. esti-
mate that 100000 aliens annually re-
turn from this country to their native
lands, carrying 5000 each, or $40, 100000
Many of these are Chinese, who are es-
timated to have carried out of America
500, 100000 in the last forty-two years.
The annual drain of $40, OOO,O 900 by all
the returning aliens, and of $780,
0O0,0 900 by European travel of the we'll
to-do, helps Mr.. Allen to understand
why it is that, Notwithstanding sew
eral years of unexampled prosperity
and an unusual growth of export trade,
We are rapidly drifting toward a sus-
pension of specie payments" The
figures certainly are of great signifi-
canoe. What they signify is that, as
our financial peril comesso largely from
the movement Of currency abroad, our
financial salvation depends on our
agreeing with the foreign world as to
the ratio of silver to gold.
