It is a mistaken notion that riches buy immunity from right or absolve from the penalties of wrong. The resistless might of monopoly, seen in the wholesale cor ruption of our own Legislature by the Consolidated railroad, is apt to blind the eyes of those who mistake success for right, temporary victory for ultimate righteousness. Connecticut will reap the penalty of this crime for years to come. Nor can virtue be spurned by the rich and it is foolish to imagine them above reproof or insensible to public crit icism. Perhaps this can be best illus trated by an incident of W. Fletcher Johnson's life of Gen W. T. Sherman, that inveterate enemy of sham. It was at the time that Missouri was in the fer ment of the early war days, as the St. Louis home guards were about to attack Camp Jackson, the State camp of in- struction where secession influences pre- old, Sherman walked up and down the sidewalk before his St. Louis house, lis tening for sounds of war. Miss Dean, who lived across the way, called out to him and asked if he knew what was go- ing on. Her brother-in-law was a sur geon in the camp and she was afraid that he would get killed. Sherman replied that he did not think the soldiers at the camp would attempt to resist Gen Lyon, who was in lawful command. To this, the fire eating lady replied that the sol diers at the camp belonged to the first families of St. Louis and that they would certainly fight to the bitter end. ''Oh, pshaw," said Sherman, ''the first famil- ies don't like to get killed any better than common folks" Just at that moment, man came running down the street from the camp, shouting, ''They've surrender ed The camp has surrendered. and Miss Dean, mortified at the cowardice of the first families, went into the house and slammed the door.

Harris Clark is attendant in a Keeley institute at White Plains, N. |.

England lost two notable figures, last week, Cardinal Manning and Duke of Clarence, the latter the grandson of Vic toria who was to succeed his father, Prince of Wales, on the British throne. The cardinal left the church of England for the Roman Catholic church in 1851 and filled his life with noble deeds, es- pecially for the poor and oppressed. The dead heir presumptive was born in 1864 and was known familiarly as Prince Ed dy or "CollaIs and Cuffs" from the height of his collars and length of his cuffs. Prince George, his brother, is now heir presumptive and is much more popular with the British public. The Duke of Clarence was to have been mar ried soon to Princess Victoria of Teck.

Been too busy selling and shipping goods and wrestling with the Grippe, the last few weeks, to change our ad. before. If you have never visited the new furniture warerooms at Hawley- ville,you had better do so atonce. New designs are being added all the time and the stock is now very complete in all lines. All fresh and new; no back numbers; no stale jokes under new headings. I have just been reading the advertising columns in a number of metropolitan journals. All, or nearly all, start off in the same old familiar strain: Selling off at half price, or much less than cost" Thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth otaared s-t 50c on the dollar.
 Now this is radically wrong; it's not business like. It's either a falsehood. or there is screw loose somewhere. Ifjudicious purchase and tas- ty selections have been made, what is the need of selling less than cost. Its downright sacrifice, that has got to be made up somewhere. Good furniture in pretty patterns is being made no cheaper to-day than it was six months ago. The natural inference is that the party who so adver-
 
 lot of uncanny, uncouth designs that you and do not want in our houses at any price.
 want to say right here that the Haweyville stock is not of this kind and it is being sold right along, one month with another, at a liv- ing commission, but those who thoroughly un- derstand the situation at Hawleyville know that a living commission at Hawleyville means rapid starvation and pauper funeral, in most other places and ln all others that can show a stock that will compare favorably with HawleyvilIe. Ii goods are sold six months in the year at loss of soc on the dollar, what kind of commission must we expect during the remaining six months.
 Sales since opening the furniture business at Hawleyvile have far exceeded my most sanguine expectations. We are having patronage from afar and shipping goods to all points of the con- pass. The fact is proven beyond a doubt that Hawleyville, distributing point and point easy of access, stands without rival in western Connecticut, if not in the State. The Reading Room is well patronized and thoroughly appre- ciated by the travelling public, who need, howev- CT, feel under no obligation, for, as a silent ad- vertising medium it well repays us for the little trouble it makes. Give call while waiting for traiasbut don't make excuses for not buying. If you need nothing yourself, you are doing favor every time you look through the stock, for you will tell your friends all about it and they will some of them come and buy.

George kennan, the man who has made the closest study of Russian administra- tion at the risk of liberty and life, says while the primary cause of the famine is the failure of the crops, ''the indirect cause is the corruption and mismanage- ment of the government. There is prob ably no other country in Europe," he says, "where, after the failure of the crops for d single year, the peasants would be reduced in less than two months to living on roots, bran and weeds and this destitution is almost wholly the re- suit of the conditions under which they live. These conditions are wholly creat- ed by bad government" And what sort of chance there is that the gifts of benefi- cent nations would be applied to relieve the distress is indicated by MT Remnant in his comments on a St. Petersburg dis patch concerning scandal caused by the disclosure of fraud in the purchase of grain for the starving peasants. MT Kennan's deduction is worthy of all re- spect: 'If tl2 aid is to pass through the hands of Russian officials, it will be hard
 ly worth while to send it.

J. W. Clark at North Hadley is making development in the orchard line. Ten or twelve years ago, when at the Massa- chuseCts agricultural college, he saw in the nursery fine lot of one-year Bald win apple trees and bought large quan- tity of them, went home to his fathers farm, leased a large tract of rather rough land not well suited to general farming purposes, and with his own and hired la- bor planted his trees and returned to col lege. Much of the time since then, he has been engaged in other horticultural work in various parts of the country and so the orchard has been cared for mostly with hired labor. Fertilizers have had to be bought and no reasonable expense has been spared to make the orchard a suc- cess. It has come into bearing within the past few years and it was reported at the Worcester meeting that already it was paying a very handsome interest on the investment, yearly increasing in val ue and would cOntinne to do so for some years to come.
