Mourning Stationery.

Few things give more unpleasant
shock to sensitive person than to have
card sent to him which has black
border around it half an inch deep or to
get letter in an envelope with like
border. The first moment until he glances
at the name upon the card or opens the
envelope is so fraught with frightful pos
sibilities that it becomes real agony. The
mind flies involuntarily to absent ones
he loves most tenderly. The thought
stabs him like knife; What if
The effect, while not so startling, is
fully as unpleasant when in car or at
church the beholder's eye falls upon a
whole family clad in dead. terrible black
from head to foot. 1t is horror to hu-
mainly this awful fashion of wearing
mourning. Il makes half the world a
grievous. ssddening sight to the other
half And when, as is sometimes the
case. the whole matter of putting on
mourning apparel is a mere piece of
vanity, it becomes not only a melancholy
reminder TO the spectator, but down
right sinful hypocrisy. There is woe
enough in every human breast for itself
without constantly being reminded Of
others woe. 1t is selfish to obtrude our
unhappiness upon others.
II the dictates of fashion require that
mourning must be worn, at least let US
have none of that wretched mourning
stationery, those frightful i'll omened
black cards and envelopes, that shock
and unnerve sensitive persons. At least,
too, let those who wear the weeds of woe
carry white handkerchiefs.

Persistent rumors continue in circu-
lation concerning the opening of the
big saw mill, principal stakeholder
reporting on the streets yesterday that
IL was one of the probabilities of the
near future. Without being able to
give definite information on the sub
ject the HERALD is nevertheless assured
that If the demand for lumber continues
to increase in the same ratio as has
been experienced during the past two
months, the entire cutting capacity of
all the mills on the Bay win be called
into requisition to supply the demand.

1t will not be many months longer
before line Of fast steamers will be put
on the run between Bellingham bay
and San Francisco by some one of the
transcontinental lines terminating on
Puget sound, to compete with the
Southern Pacific for the California
trade. Such a move would go far to-
wards solving the question of bringing
empty cars to the Sound TO meet its
rapidly increasing output Of shingles
and other products. The plan is FEAST
BILE one, and for its successful operation
could not have better point Of opera
ton than Fairbaven.

The editor of the Argosy, reviewing
the comments in the Bay papers on
the performances which have recently
appeared at the Lighthouse theater,
says that the dramatic "'critics' do not
know good performance when they
see one, too stupid to understand a
lecture full of deep thought, too
phlegmatic to see humor, and cannot
tell elocution and oratory from the
braying Of an ass" Doubtless ii was
the dramatic rather than the literary
proof-reader of the Argosy who sane.
TONED the brilliant grammar" Of the
above quotation. But with respect to
the real point at issue, IL the critic of
the Argosy sees true dramatic merit in
such performances as "Ole Oleson, !"
"U and l." the Heroine of '49,r
"Peck's Bad Boy" the "Spider and
the Fly" "Uncle Toms Cabin"-
which are among the Argosy's "mer-
itorious " performances surely no
other writer of the Bay will envy him
his dramatic instinct. He occu-
pies a position the glory and honor of
which he must enjoy in lonely solitude

The United States now grows the best
rice and the best cotton in the world.

1t is far more honorable for even
man high in Office to confess publicly
that he is bribetaker and beg pardon
of his country than for government to
try to shield official bribetakers. 1t is
the crime that is concealed which is
dangerous, not that which is confessed
and punished.

Death of Eugene L. Bradbury.

Eugene L. Bradbury, road master
of the La Crosse division Of the St.
Paul company, died suddenly at his
home at Portage, Sunday morning,
December 3, of heart disease. Being
here Saturday, the day before his de-
cease, engaged in his regular line of
duty and apparently in his usual good
health, the news of his death was re-
ceived here by his friends with start
ling effect. Mr.. Bradbury came to
Watertown with his brother, D. O.
Bradbury, over twenty years ago, and
fifteen years since removed to Portage,
which continued his home up to the
time of his death. He was married
to Miss Sarah Evans, of this city, who
survives him.
And SO, as time flies, ties are broken,
and we who survive are called upon to
follow dear friends to their last resting
place.
Mr.. Bradbury was born at Norway,
Me-, and was 4S years Of age. The
body will arrive here by special train
from Portage at l o'clock this after
noon, and the funeral will proceed at
once to Oak Hill cemetery.

Will be a Cold One.

People might as well lay in supply
of coal and prepare for cold winter
if weather prophets can be believed.
The weather observers all over the
country all say the coming winter will
be one of the coldest for years. An old
farmer gives the following reasons for
believing hard winter is on the tapis:
The husks on the corn are much thick
er than usual, and of deep orange
tint, instead of a light lemon hue. The
hogs melt runs Jagged instead of
smooth. The goose bone taken from a
May raised fowl shows larger and
whittier spots than customary, which re-
semble the canals of Mars. The crop
of nuts of all kinds is immense and
the squirrels are laying in prodigious
stores early in the season. The part
ridge and woodcock are lighting in
barns and outhouscs instead of trees,
and ducks are flying in V-shaped focks
to the south. The green frogs are
changing their skins and are even
now seeking cool wells and springs for
their winter quarters.

by some Of the nearest friends, but
was none the less pleasant to those
present on this account, everything
partaking of true gayety and mirth
consistent with both Thanksgiving
observances and the uniting of 'two

tended to the couple for life of hap
