1t works its way into popular favor, for the
following reasons:
LIST. It has something of the flavor, and of
the qualities of these higher priced sponged

sells at about cents per pound less. Its
small size and greater substance makes it a

an oil tank car exploded with terrible force,

SThe question of Incorporating our village is
being seriously considered, and steps have al
ready been taken toward testing the sentim ent
of the people regarding the matter. There are
some very good reasons that can be urged in
favor of incorporation, and if the people could
be assured that the Incorporation would snot be
clothed with ALL the powers, granted in the
statutes. but would use only thos that are nee
essary to secure the end sought. probably but
little objection would be made. But such as
surance cannot be given. land Incorporation
carries with it all the grants of the statute. The
reasons urged in favor of the project are, po-
lice. sanitary and street lighting regulations, -
To these there can be no valid objections, But

What Eject win the Fair Haveq

The question was asked the Listener
recently, "What great effect do you sup
pose this Chicago exhibition will have
upon the people of America comparable
with the effect which the centennial ex-
hibition hadT The question was hard
one to answer. We never know before
hand what revolutions we are going to
have. The American people thought in
1879 that they knew everything that
there was to know, but when they got to
Philadelphia they found that they did
not. They were profoundly affected IN
spite of themselves and their presump-
tuous confidence in their own perfections
and omniscience. But the influence then
came from abroad. From what we are
already able to learn of the foreign ex-
hibit at Chicago, 1t does not appear like
ly that we shall be profoundly influenced
by 1t. But perhaps we shall be.
1t seems. however. that the influence
