THE majority portion of the board of
selectmen is favored by the circum-
stance that they have it in their power
now to do good. and necessary work for
the local democratic party. If they
give. the town a good and economical
administration, as we believe they will,
it will rebound to the unification of the
party. If they are slow to make
changes for partisan purposes, the NAL
contents who have drifted away from
the local democracy, and :, who have
been mainly instrumental in electing
republicans, must cease to complain,
The main spring of all local disaffection
can be purified by. sensible, cool, manly
action on the part of the new demo.
cratic board of selectmen. Let the dead
past bury its dead, and let a new era OF
things begin. Let recognized ability
and experience when and where found
remain undisturbed; these with free
dom from entangling alliances will
again make strong and undivided
local party.

A Fact or Interest.

An observation recounted in the re-
cent census reports of France deserves
attention here Thirty departments,
or nearly forty per cent. of the terri.
tory of France, have lost eighty thou
sand inhabitants, or about one per
cent of their population, since the
census taken a quarter Of century
ago. In these thirty departments
great ravages were committed in the
forests, immense quantities of timber
having been felled and sold. eff the
hills have no trees" says the report,
"the valleys can have no men," Bare
hills allow the rivers to flood the coun-
try, inundating the fields and carrying
off the crops, cattle and homesteads.
The inhabitants, left starving, have to
perish on the spot or emigrate.
Thus, destruction of forests means de.
population Of the country. Central
Asia, once depopulated, is recovering
because the Russians have commenced
tree-planting on a large scale. The
other parts of Asia and Europe where
the forests were destroyed are lying
waste. VIII the American govern
ment learn lesson from these facts?

ACCORDING to a writer in the Age of
Labor, but a small percentage of the
workmen of the country is organized,
and such burdensome conditions sur
round organization as to make. its
future, at least in it's present shape,
somewhat problematical. OF the $780,
900 railroad employees in the United
States but 200, 900 are members of labor
societies, though the greatest effort has
been made to induce others to join.
Some of the reasons are given which
keep the great body of laborers indie
pendent of the societies, among which
are heavy fees which membership en-
tails. These are laid for so many
dIfferent'purposes that their aggregate
is grievous burden for a man with a
family to carry. There is also an age
limitation which keeps out a very large
percentage, while the associations
clumsy methods, it is claimed, put the
companies entirely on their guard be-
fore the associations can strike blow
such methods not at all commencing
organization to non-union men. Ac.
cording to this writer, labor in America
is organized on greatly inferior basis
to that which prevails in England, and
must be reorganized before it will com.
mend itself to the great body of ou1
workmen, or will be able to make itself
"master of the situation"

LOSS OF THE ROUMANIB
One Hundred and Thirteen
Souls Perished.
WRECKED OFF PoRTueAL,s COAST

Only Nine Escaped-The Anchor Liner
Left Liverpool Sunday for Bombay
Caught Too Near the Shore in Fog
aud Dashed on the Rocks.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-The reported loss
Of the Anchor line steamship Roumania,
Captain Young, at the mouth of the
AFnoya, near Peniche, early Thursday
morning, is confirmed. One hundred
and thirteen of the 122 persons on board
were lost.
The Roumania left Liverpool last Sun
day for Bombay. She carried 55 pas,
sengers. crew of 81 men, and full
cargo of valuable merchandise. She ex
perienced heavy weather from early OF
Monday morning. On Tuesday she ran
into furious storm. All her passen
gers were ordered below, and were not
allowed on deck again until Wednesday
uoon.
After a few hours of the first clear sail
ing she had had, the Roumania ran into
a thick fog in about AZ degrees nortl
latitude She proceeded at half speed
and, it was supposed, well out from the
coast. A violent storm came on after
several hours in the fog.
When the storm struck her the Rou
mania was but few miles from shore.
The ship made little progress and the
captain was unable to keep her bow tt
the wind She went on the rocks almost
without warning.
Heavy seas broke over the ships decks
and many of the passengers, who ran Oh
deck in a panic, were swept overheard
and drowned.
A lifeboat was cut away and an at
tempt was made to lower it, but the boat
was swamped For two hours further
attempts were abandoned.
The storm abated and another boat wa:
lowered and loaded with passengers. Al
100 yards from the ship it capsized anG
all were drowned.
Two boats We're started out from the
shore, but put back, as the men were
convinced that they could not live in sucl
a heavy SEA.
Another boat was lowered from the
Roumania, but when half loaded wa.
dashed against the ships side and cap
sized. Fifteen persons, who had de
seconded to her, We're drowned.
Meantime wave after wave had broken
over the Roumania, smashing her deck
houses and ventilators, carrying away
her smokestack and masts, and sweeping
many of the passengers and seamen over
board.
Those still left decided to wait until TIN
storm abated further before attempting
to get ashore.
After an hour of suspense the sever
men and two women who had remained
on board lowered the last boat.
The storm had subsidized, and although
obliged to ride through a heavy surf
t. ey reached shore in safety. The tw
women were the only passengers saved
Captain Young is reported to be among
| the lost.

Our women Getting Taller.

A scientific man who has been talking
to St. Louis Globe Democrat reporter
is certain that the women of this coun-
try are growing taller. This is espe-
cially true, he says, of the women OF
the great middle class. The tall girl is
not SO plentiful among the plutocrats
and the very poor, but a majority of
those young ladies whose parents are in
comfortable circumstances are above
the medium height. my theory is
that the growth of the very poor is
stunted by bad food and hard work,
and that of the very rich by surfeiting
and lack of proper exercise. The mid
dle-class girl has plenty of wholesome
food, and is required to lead a mod
erately active life. The result is that
she grows up tall and graceful, with
the easy carriage of an athlete. I be-
lieve that the young ladies of to-day
will average an inch taller than their
mothers. The men of America are also
growing taller, but the advance is not
so marked as in the case of young ladies.
1 attribute this backwardness to the
very general use of tobacco or liquor,
or both, by the boys of America"

What is to be done? The answer is
plain enough. You are losing your
nerve force and power, and running
down in strength, energy and vitality.
Whatever will restore this lost strength
and vigor to the BRAIN and nerves, will
put you again in sound health and
strength. This is precisely what DR.
Greene's Nervura, the great blood, brain
and nerve invigorant, will do. AS re-
storer of nerve force, a builder up of
nerve power, vigor and energy, this
wonderful remedy has no equal in the
world. You can have no idea until you
try it of its marvellous toning, strength
ening and invigorating effects, it's bene-
fetal and healthful action as brain
and nerve restorative. 1t is purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless, and

Rapid RailroadfnC.

A paragraph went the rounds of the
press few weeks ago concerning the
feat accomplished by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in running special
grain train through from Chicago to
Jersey City without uncoupling a car or
changing locomotives. The undertake
ing being the first Of its kind naturally
excited great deal Of interest, and the
transportation department of the rail-
way company named has compiled the
following facts and figures which lend
an added interest: "a distance of 1874
miles was traversed, during which time
the locomotive was not uncoupled from
tho train. The total length of the
train was 1909 feet and it carried
2,64O, 900 pounds of grain, an average Of
1000 pounds to each car. The locomo-
tive and cars were equipped throughout
with Westinghouse brakes. The engine
was No. 263, standard, class r. The
locomotive and tender weighed $500
pounds"

age in which we live, and which finally
end IN the dread paresis, insanity, heart

exhausting their nervous. and physical
energies, until sleepless nights, failing
