While Jackson park has frontage on
 Lake Michigan of one and one half miles,
 it's inner waterways and modes of trans portation over them furnish an interest
 ing study. All these waterways are named and located. The grand basin
 lies in front of the administration build ing. Then there is the north canal, the
 east, north and west lagoons, and the
 North pond, with others of minor i'm portance. The electric launch and navi-
 gation company has 40 electric launches
 plying on these waterways. Their course
 is three miles. The point of starting is in the grand basin and the northern ex- tremity of the route is in the North pond,
 where there is landing 200 feet wide in
 front of the fine arts building. There
 are 15 landings and stops are made at ey- cry landing. The time consumed in
 making this trip is about 40 minutes.
 Then there is the Venetian gondola com
 pany, which has 20 gondolas, all of the 14th century pattern. They are 40 feet
 long and carry 12 persons. There are GO
 gondoliers, whose costumes are of bright
 colors, after the style of the 14th centu- ry. The canopies of the gondolas are ot
 rich, heavy velvet, with lining Of delicate tints to match. The roofs are covered
 with heavy satin. Gold fringe towels
 and cords are used to ornament these canopies. The gondolas start from near the collonade, or the canal between the Agricultural building and Machinery
 hall. The same company has four bis
 sones. Again there is the Worlds fair
 steam launch company. They are both internal and external. They ply be- tween three principal landings. They start from a landing in the north pond or lagoon, pass out into Lake Michigan, through the North channel, round the battleship Illinois, enter the grand basin, and land at the south end of the Manu. facturers' and Liberal Arts building
 They do not venture from the prescribed
 route. For the exposition officials there is a special fleet of fonr electric launches

GosHEN's THRIVING CREAMERY

GoSHEN'S THRIVING CREAMERY.
 An "industry' which distributes much money among the farmers of Goshen is the Goshen Creamery Co.,, which was organized l l years ago. During the last year they have marketed about 90,000 pounds of butter. At the present time, the creamery is hardly able to supply its old customers, to say nothing of new orders The creamery company is for tunate in having an expert butter maker In the person of Ira J. Padgett, and the products of this creamery has according ly high standing in the market. Most of the butter from this creamery goes into the Naugatuck valley, although the creamery has many customers in other sections. The creamery company owns substantial buildings in good repair,an Is we'll equipped for the business. Jo- seph Wooster, who is one of the patrons Of the creamery, sends out two teams to gather the cream, as also does l.. B. Ransom, another patron. The list of patrons of course varies somewhat from month to month, but the list for June was as follows: D. M. Lucas, l.. B. Ransom, w. l.. Clark, k. I. Allyn, Mrs Henry Ives, Wright x Dean, Gerald Richards, Fred Williams, William Miles, Austin Allyn, $. A. Bartholomew, Shel- don Clark, Lyman Hall, George John son, Lucas tS Cottswell, Lucas & Palmer, T. F. Wooster, F. w. Griswold, Dan iel Doyle, w. Treman, Mir Sage, Hall & Sterling, E. Carlisle, Thomas w. Gris- wold, Smith x Root, and James Ste wart. The present officers of the cream cry association are as follows: Presi- dent and superintendent, Frank w. Gris- wold; secretary and treasurer, w. E. Gaylord; directors, Frank w. Griswold, w. E. Gaylord, Lyman Hall, Frederick A. Lucas and Daniel Lucas. The bene- fit of such an institution as this to town can hardly be estimated. It furnishes a saves them many miles of weary travel to market their butter, were they oblig- ed to do so.

An Old Song.

When giants lived in ancient times,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing hO.
In good old England or foreign climcs,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing ho!
They carried things with high old hand
Strong nor week could before them stand
And they killed whom they pleased
throughout the land
Sing heigh, my boy, sing no!
But the giants didn't have ther own
way when Jack-the- -Giant-killer arriv-
ed on the scene. You know the story.
Recollect, too, that every age has its
giant killer. We have our giants i'll

train robbery, and not on that ofmur-
der. Mr.. Stayton does not think it
advisable TO make any terms with
them, and that they should be taken
dead or alive. 1t seems, however,
that the robbers believe themselves
secure or they would make no such
offer, and that if their terms are not
accepted their friends will spirit them
out of the State and the ends of JUS
tiCe will be wholly defeated. In con
versation this morning with Govern
or Fishback he told a reporter that he
was not sufficiently advised of the par
ticulars Of the case to express an
opinion, but that be thought the men
ought to be captured. Mr.. Stayton is
expected here soon, then something
definite will be done.

SEVERE CRITICISM.

Discussing the dispensary law of
South Carolina and the means which
have been adopted by Gov. Tilman
and his followers to secure lis enforce
ment a recent writer makes the fol-
lowing severely adverse criticism:
The judges Of the South Carolina
courts who have differed with Tillman
concerning the constitutionallty of the
dispensatory liquor aw,saysthe writer
have all been punished by being de-
feated for reelection. Some OF the
ablest judges in the state have been
displaced by men who are decidedly
their interiors, and whose chief quail
Gcation Is that they are active mem
bers Of the Tillman machine, and can
probably be depended upon to inter
pret the constitution as Tillman de-
sires. From this distance this pro-
ceeding looks like bold attempt to
pack the court, and to make them a
part Of the political machine which
has control Of the state government
These are hard sayings to be applied
to South Carolina, and the worst Of
It is that they are strictly true. Every
Tilmanite in the state knows that
they are true. 1t is the greatest dis
grace tnat has ever been brought on
the state by its own people, and it has
been inflicted IN the name Of "reforHl'
Honest men and good citizens who re-
ally love the old state and care for itf
reputation and will not forget this
shameful proceeding when the time
comes for reckoning with those who
are resposible for it.

together with her numerous undevel-
oped resources, the Arkansas Press
has this TO say:
There is no question that if 10 per
cent. of the money and same proper
ton oftime were employed in efforts
to develop this state that has been
used in fruitless wildcat schemes in
this state during the past ten years,
we would today be enjoying degree
of prosperity, so firmly established
that political intrigues and upheavels
and knotty financials problems would
simply be matters elicting only passing
interest.
We know, you know, it is generally
known, that in the state of Arkansas
there are vast deposits of coal, zinc,
lead, nitre, guano, tripoli, antimony
onyx, kaolin, alabaster, gypsum, stron-
tia, iron, nickel, manganese, cobalt,
copper and silver, to say nothing
about the marble, granite and sand
stone which, if avenues were opened
up to insure easy and economical
handling of the commodities to place
them on desirable market, would
necessitate the employment of an ar
my of skilled and other labor. The
introduction of this new and large ell
ement would insure vast amount Of
money being placed in the hands of
the representatives of all branches of
trade each month, ACQUIRING account of
wages due for services.

VOORHEES, SILVER BILL.

A bill has just been introduced in
the Senate by Hon. ID. w. Voorhees,,
of Indiana, providing for the coinage
of seigniorage in the United States
Treasury, until the same shall have
been exhausted and then continue
ton of silver coinage at the rate of
$2,00O,0O0 per month, out of silver
bullion, purchased by the Govern
ment for this purpose. There is n
provision in the bill retiring 81, So
$5 notes. There is about $l60,000,000
worth of silver bullion IN the treasury.
There is no seingnorage, but the circu-
lation can be easily made Of the seign-
orage that would result if same were
coined. The bill contemplates the coin
age Of this.
In recent interviews several promi-
nent Senators have expressed them
selves as doubling the general rumor,
that the bill, because introduced by
Mr.. Voorhees,, was an administration
measure.
Stewart of Nevada, tho chief of free
coiners, said he would fight the bill to
death because il was not free coin
age measure. Mr.. Tracy of New York
strong administration man, said that
he had not read the bill, and did not
think it an administration measure
because the President had said in bis
message that he thought present con-
ditions should be let alone for time.
In fact the general idea in the bill is
very vague.
1t is generally believed that the
measure was introduced by Mr.. Voor-
hees to prove what he asserted all the
time he led in the effort to repeal the
Sherman law, that he was q friend OF
the white metal. No one at present
believes the measure can pass.

A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.

A terribly sad and tragic accident
occurred, just before noon today, on
the farm Of Mr.. Ike Bell, formerly
known as the WitterstaetJer place, two
miles north from this city, resulting
in the death Of the owners little six
year old son.
The details of the unfortunate af-
frir are somewhat meager, as the news
of the accident only reached the city
shortly before our press hour. The
facts, as we gather them, are as fol
lows
The father of the dead child was
preparing to kill hogs and had just
filled a large vessel with boiling water
in which to scald the animals, when
his little boy, who had been an inter
ested spectator Of the proceedings,
started to run across the lot, and, just
as he came opposite to the water YES
sci, tripped and fell head foremost
into the boiling liquid, Instantly the
unfortunate child was rescued from
his awful position. But help came
too late, death had intervened
ard the spark Of life, which
onlya moment before had glowed
with the fire of youth, was dimmed
forever. Undertaken Reeves was
summoned at once and left immedi.
ately for the scene.
