Haunted by an Advertisements.

Have you ever been haunted by an adj
vertisement?
I have asked lots of people that ques-
ton and they nearly all tell me that
they have undergone such an experience
at one time or another.
The particular lad" that haunts me is
one containing the picture of mans
face. A very insipid face it is, too, with
an absolutely perfect black mustache
attached to it. 1t has grewsome effect,
too, as there is no neck visibly attached
to the head, and have often wondered
If it would be possible to cut mans
head off so that none of the neck would
be left on.
This face persists in getting in front
of me and staring at me with those
meek eyes. No matter which end of an
elevated car l go in just as soon as am
comfortably seated in seat can feel
that face looking at me; and sure
enough there it always is-above the
windows directly across the car. If l
open the advertising pages of maya
zine that face will be the first thing to
meet my eye. On the street am always
seeing it on the billboards or some ad-
vertising dodger.
You may say that this is all very
easily explained by the fact of the ad-
vertisement being very common one
that everybody would be running
against. On the contrary it is rather of
an uncommon one, but wherever it is
am sure to find it. l don't know what
the article is the face advertises, and
don't want to. l only want to be freed
from the nightmare of that mask.-New
York Herald.

Where Wealth Wight Aid Science.

Professor Mark w. Harrington, chief of
the weather bureau, says that one of the
great difficulties in perfecting the science
of meteorology is that the service is not
familiar with anything but the bottom of
our atmosphere. There should be some
way Of reaching the currents above us
not about mountain tops, bat in the free
air. In this connection Professor Harring-
ton offers suggestion:
This brings us face to face with the arts
of ballooning, artificial flight and all the
complex problems of aeronautics and
aerodynamics In any case it seems evil
dent that aeronautics has not yet reached
the stage at which it appears to the law
makers as a matter demanding the ex-
penditure of public money, and it must
rely ON private benefcence. Under these
circumstances it would appear that the
popular interest in the matter and the
great possibilities for commerce and war
which aeronautics presents, combined with
the certainty that its investigation would
result in any case in the perfection of the
science of the weather, would justify some
broad gagged, liberal minded, wealthy
Chicagoan in establishing an institute for
aeronautics. 1t is a splendid opportunity
to do good to the world and establish
monument to ones self-a monument
which, though built in air, would be acre
perenniu.-Chicago Journal.

manifests a disposition which is at
once credit to its management and an
evidence that the grace of charity is
not virtue entirely confined to the

reporters of the HERALD have for
some time been aware of the shortage
in Mr.. HiXson's accounts, but believ-
ing that he was making an earnest
effort to get upon his feet, and realiz-
ing that newspaper comment might

alive to the needs of mental culture

some questions which do not pertain to

Restoring Harmony on shipboard.

In the royal navy sailors are often in the
same ship for three or four or even more
years. During this time their craft is their
home, and they speak of it as such, and
with an affection as if it were a living
thing. BY means of the ship the men may
be wonderfully Influenced. The late Cap
tain Hall was in command of a remarkably
fine frigate on the South American station,
of which he and his crew were justly
proud. The handsome bust on her beauti-
full figurehead was brightly gilt, and great
care was taken of it.
The harmony which had generally pre-
vailed on board was somehow disturbed.
But instead of resorting to corporal pun
ishment the captain summoned the men
aft, and in a simple, manly speech pointed
out the improperly of their conduct, and
concluded thus, $50 now, my lads, il this
be not put an end to and hearty good will
restored I'll blacken your figurehead and
put the ship in mourning"
Had bombshell fallen at their feet the
men could not have been more astonished.

Anything rather than thatl And in this
way order and harmony were restored

A LONG SERMON.

Oh, the sun is bright, and the day is fair,
And the sweet breeze wanders everywhere,
And the sweet birds sing as they fly,
And | wish we could join them, Madge and l.
We are hidden to listen. and so we do,
Shut up in the narrow and stuffy pew;
Behaving just as well as we can,
We look over there at the preacher man.
We can't understand, though we take such
pains
All sense seems gone from our little brains;
So we just sit quiet, as best we may,
And wait till the long hour wears away.
My poor little sister tries to keep
Her blue eyes wide, but she falls asleep;
'Tfs so close and stupid and dull and warm,
And l hold her safe in my tired arm.
Oh, how can he have so much to say,
The preacher man, such lovely day,
And what in the world is he talking about1
We don't know, and we can't find out.

In its recent references to the ques-
tion Of making donations towards the
endowment fund of the university of
Fairhaven the HERALD has appealed
more generally to the residents of the
county at large than to those of the two
Bay cities, step that was deemed
necessary in order to show that, since
the benefits accruing from the presence
of the university would be felt by every
property holder in the county, it was a
simple matter Of justice that each resi-
dent, however remotely situated hi.
property might be from the site of the
university, should aid in bringing the
enterprise to a successful issue. 1t is
not to be forgotten, however, that while
the remotest limits of the county will
realize advantage from the founding of
the university, special benefits will &C.
crue to the property interests on the
Bay, which should influence its resi-
dents in hearty and generous response
TO the needs Of the institution. Nor
does the question Of benefit to arise
from the establishment Of the univer-
sity stop with the appreciation Of prop
erty values, which ought TO be looked
upon as the smallest part Of the
gain 70 be realized in an insti-
tuition Of this character. The residents

Dispatches from st. Paul are to the
effect that President Hill, of the Great
Northern, is on his way to Puget
Sound, and will probably arrive not
later than Sunday. 1t is safe to say
that, at the present time, no other one
man could have so profound ali effect
and so widespread an influence upon
the future of the Sound country, or the
thought of its people, as this great rail
road magnate, whose arrival and sub
sequent actions are so eagerly looked
for by the residents of the state of
Washington. What Mr.. Hills inten-
tons may be are better known to him
self than to any one else. Those of his
associates or employees who may have
been taken more fully into his con-
fidence than the general public are too
wise to jeopardise their interests with
him by violating the confidence which
has been imposed in them, so that, be-
yond the safe axiom of supply and de-
mand, which must control every bus
mess man in his actions, James J. Hill
Is 50 far an unknown quantity, and his
plans question of mere speculation,
in which, more frequently than other
wise, the desire becomes father to the
conviction. One thing may be de-
pended upon, however, with unwaver-
ing faith, that where goods
are to be carried and freight
transported-or where great re-
sources give promise of abundant
traffic, there will be an objective point
towards which Mr.. Hill will move. In
estimating the character of the Great
Northern's ruling mind, both the
western and eastern journals are at
at wide variance with each other re-
garding many of his traits, in which
they are doubtless influenced in pro-
portion as they feel themselves sighted
or honored by the development of his
plans, but respecting his ability to
handle large railroad enterprises or to
properly estimate the strategic sections
Of a country, there is uniform OPT Mon
that Mr.. Hill has no superior in the
railroad circles of the world. And at
this point lies the secret of the Great
Northern's future connection with
Fairhaven. Seattle and Tacoma Just
now has each larger population than
the Bellingham Bay cities, while
Everett is the first tide water point on
the Sound touched by the railroad,
after which is granted every other
argument is in favor of what Mr.. Hill
himself has denominated the Imperial
City of Fairhaven.

Placer's Big Cherry Trees.

In some remote age the deep, whirling
waters of the American river at Monte
Rio washed out the rock layers of long
previous geological formation to the
depth Of probably 200 feet or more, and
this excavation being filed to half its
depth by alluvial material from the
sides of adjacent hills, formed deposit
over sixty feet deep and some ten or
twelve acres in present area.
The waters of the American now form
only small stream, the alluvial deposit
growth being ten or a dozen feet higher
than the usual current of the deep river
channel. The soil of Hector's cherry
orchard has been bored to over sixty
feet in depth without touching bed rock
or rock of any kind, the alluvial quality
continuing to this great depth. On
about four acres of this soil black Tar
tartan cherry trees were set in 1852 or
1868 by ancestral relatives of the pres
ent owner, several smaller orchards or
additions having been planted since.
There are $50 large trees that yield 40
boxes, or 400 pounds each, in alternate
years. The trees are kept trimmed of
all dead wood and lime washed every
season, and are still making vigorous and
healthy growth. The tallest tree is SO
feet high, with head from 90 to SO feet
in width, and over score more of the
100 large trees are from 40 to so feet tall,
with corresponding width of top growth
so that the excess in height of the tallest
tree is not very conspicuous.-Cou

LEHIGH STRIKE.
Trainmen Tie Up Freight Trains-Their



BUFFALO. n. Y, Nov. 2o.-Passenger
trains arrived and departed on the Lee
high Valley yesterday as usual, but
freight is tied up by the strike. The
officials are feeling their way carefully,
not knowing how extensive the strike
may prove Here, at the western ter
minus of the northern division, the
work of recognizing freight crews is
proceeding, but probably no freight
will move until tomorrow Fortuna E.
ly no perishable stuff is stalled on the
road With the experience derived
from the struggle in August of last
year, the superintendent and his aides
hope to overcome the yard blockade in
few days.
The grievances of the Lehigh men
are of long standing. Numerous efforts
have been made to secure a settlement
by arbitration. but the officials of the
company have indifferently treated all
overtures IN behalf of the employees
made hy the railway federation. The
trouble extends back to the fall of 1892.
The men say General Manager Voor-
hees then agreed to certain PROPOSE
tions, but they assert he never kept
the terms of the agreement. Last
August he promulgated a set of
rules governing the employment
Of men. which contained apparent
concessions. 1t was not long, the men
declared, before these rules were broken
and became a mockery- a committee
representing the federated employees.
fremen, engineers, trainmen and op-
orators, again sought redress from Gen
eral Manager Voorhees,. Another
agreement was obtained, but it was
allowed to be as worthless as the paper
it was written on. Then the commit
tee went step further and essayed to
lay the matter before President VIII
bur. To their surprise he refused to
see them. They went back to Voor-
hees and he treated them this
time as CURLY as had Wilbur. 1t
was reported and expected that a
strike would occur last spring and
would involve other trunk lines at
time when the worlds fair traffic was
at its full height, but the men saw that
busy times for the roads meant more
money for them, and funds with which
to back up struggle have been found
in times past prime necessity. The
Lehigh officials, however, doubtless
thought that if a strike was not preci-
pitated during the fair it would
not occur at all. and accordingly
the grievance committee. despairing
of obtaining an audience with
either Wilbur or Voorhees,, reduced
their appeal to writing and mailed it
to President Wilbur On the 18th that
official replied in substance that agree
ments made last summer by the Read
ing were not binding this fall on the
Lehigh. The brotherhood directed a
vote to be taken on the question of a
strike, and the result was an almost
unanimous vote of yeas from the east
ern divisions and suffice alternatives
from the mort hern divisions to make a
| ma jority. The strike. there fore, was

FIGHT WITH MOONsHiNERS.

A Second Battle Between Officers and still
Men in Alabama One Killed, Two
Wounded.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 21.-Deputy
Collector Caldwell and a posse, who on
Wednesday captured dozen illicit dis
tilleries in a raid among Randolph
county moonshiners and killed Andrew
Howell near Christiana while he and
others were attempting to rescue two
prisoners, had another battle with
moonshiners in the same locality last
night. The officers, after landing the
prisoners captured on the first raid in
Jail at Caldwell, returned to Christiana
to capture the still of Moses Smith, the
oldest moonshiner in Randolph county.
Smith had been apprised of their COM
ing, and as they approached they saw
him carrying off part of his still on his
back. The officers ordered him to sur
render, but instead he opened fire on
them. The posse returned the fire,
riddling Smith with bullets. He died
on the spot.
At the first fire a gang of two dozen
of Smiths friends who were ambushed
near by, ran up and opene fire on the
officers with shotguns. The latter re-
turned the volley and two of the gang
fell. Seeing they were outnumbered,
the officere put spurs to their horses
and fed. None of the posse were hurt
1t is not yet known how badly the two
would-be rescuers were wounded, or
who they we're
