A ROYAL SCANDAL.

The London correspo ndent of the New
York Times telegraphs an account OF a
marriage by the Duke of York, who has
lust married the Princess Teck, to a lady
at Malta few years ago. The story is
that he was married by the Roman Cath
olic ritual to daughter of British ma
val officer of high rank, and that there
are two children by the marriage. 1t is
quite possible, if it were necessary, to
give the date of the marriage at Valetta,
and even the names of the people who
witnessed the ceremony. OF course the
contracting parties knew that by the
Royal Marriage act this was really no
marriage at all; but the theory is that
George, who was not then in direct line
to the throne, counted on his elder broth
er's marrying and having heirs, when
his irregular connection would be ac-
corded a uuasi-sanction such as was
given the Duke of Cambridge and other
collateral English princes.
1t is Just such things as these that
bring religion into disrepute. When
Victoria, the head of the English church
will tolerate such morality ~ it is nc
wonder that Dissenters urge disesta6'
lishment. The reason is not far to seek.
Though the marriage of the Prince oi
Wales's heir is an accomplished thing
the House of Hanover will not be wholly
happy until there is another life between
the throne and the Flies. The Queer
has lived so long that the chances of the
Prince coming to his own, or coming tC
it keeping it long are very slight, while
the hazards of fortune have been i'm
pressed upon the nation by the death q
the Princes first born. The Conserva
tives do not feel easy with the Flte'
standing so close by the steps OF th'
throne. And so it comes to pass tina
worldly policy snaps the finger at th'
| Decnlngne as in this instance.

SARATOGA EXCLUSION.

On Sunday July 10th the Fitchburg
railroad will have another excursion to
Saratoga and Saratoga Lake at very low
rates. This is about the best time of
the whole year TO visit this famous
watering place. Electric cars run from
Saratoga to Saratoga Lake affording an
opportunity of a delightful sail. Special
train will leave North Adams at 7.30 a.
M, arriving at Saratoga Lake $50 a. m.
and Saratoga 10 a. m. Returning train
will leave Saratoga $50 p. m, stopping
at Saratoga Lake. Excursion rate from
stations between North Adams and Hoo
sick. inclusive, only Sl.25 the round trip.

been even more marked than in the
Northern. Thus in Texas the birth-rate
In ten years declined from 40. IA to 3l.27;
in Mississippi from 37.S5 to 30. 10; in Ar
kansas from 1929 to 33. IS; in South Car
olina from 37.5l to 31.07. In Massachu--
setts it has dropped from 23.1S to 2151;
in Pennsylvania from $500 to $3.50; in
Iowa from 31.01 to 26. 10; in Oregon from
2S.52 to 22.49; in Washington from 29.45
to 23.54. The records of the last two
States mentioned seems remarkable, for
they are new, and it would naturally be
expected that there would be an increase
as the pioneers found wives and settled
in families. 1t may be that the theory
of natural law of decrease is sufficient
to account for this phenomenon. The
conditions of society have certainly uu-
dergone change within century; the
quiet and contentment of domestic life
are giving way before race for material
success. Men no longer marry young;
they must secure a comfortable compe-
tence before venturing upon marriage.
Women are learning independent modes
living and no longer look upon marriage
as the indispensable condition. Then,
as if by an inevitable and unalterable
law, luxury, and indulgence deteriorate
the race and beget small families or fam
ihes in which there are no children at all.
We are not finding fault with condition
which appears to be fixed and unchange-
able. Norris it likely to prove misfor
tune to future generations that the ratio
of natural increase of population grows
smaller. 1t may be the way of provi-
dence to keep the earth capable of sup
porting the human family. 1t is 0ett er
that fewer should be born than that the
living population should be decimated
by the terrible causes which swept men
! away by millions under less merciful
civilization.-Troy Telegram.

Only the daintiest of blondes can wear

Governor st. John says that all the evils
that beset the country are due to the

the lack of silver, Speaker Crisp lays

the insufficient recognition of their vir-

REVISING THE PENSION ROLL

NE V lOlNO LIE IENoION ANCI'
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The pension
bureau has notified a great many PEN
sioners throughout the country, who are
drawing pension under the act of July
27. 1890, known as the dependent PEN
sion act. that the payment of their PEN
sions will he suspended for go days, dur
ing which time they are required to show
cause why they should continue to draw
pensions.
What is necessary to prevent their be-
ing dropped from the rolls, is the certiti-
cate of a reputable physician, attended
by two witnesses, to the effect that the
pensioner is precluded from active la
Dor, owing to injuries or disability, not
the result of his own vicious habits. In
case no attention is paid to the depart

Those democratic papers that are max
ing great efforts to conceal the facts, are
invited to read the following from the
Boston Journal: But the facts are
these, and we challenge any of our Dem
ocratic contemporaries to dispute them.
Under the Bland law, which was in force
before the Sherman law, we were coin
ing monthly 1000, 900 light weight silver
dollars, which could not be forced into
circulation, but went into the Treasury
vaults as fast as they left the mint. The
danger of continuing this course was
recognized both by President Cleveland
and President Harrison, and a reform
was called for. But the accomplishment
of reform was impeded by the fact that
small. but noisy, minority of Repub-
licans in Congress and an Overwhelming
majority of the Democrats wanted free
coinage. In the Senate, the Democrats
voted for free coinage, % to 3; in the
House, they voted for it, 113 to %. In
the Senate, the Republicans voted
against free coinage, 2l to Is; in the
House, they voted against it, 1000 o."

the experience of other states that the
time and money expended in keeping
a poor road in its normal wretched con-
dition will keep double the length Of
good road in very good order. Ohio
has been spending 100000 per year
for road purposes on the patchwork
principle; and has now as poor roads as
ever. Such an amount properly cap
italized and expended would give, in a
few years time, a magnificent system,
easily maintained at small expense and
always passable.
Local administration of road affairs
is a poor plan; it is a matter for the
state to handle, and the legislator who
persistently advocates state bonds for
roads will achieve name for himself
indissolubly connected with a public
improvement the benefits of which
will be not only immediate but perma-
nent.
We have in Washington state sec
ond to none in abundance of resources.
The very luxuriance ofour forest growth
is a hindrance 20 the opening up Of the
outlying districts. The farmers indi-
vidually, or even united locally, cannot
do it; it therefore remains for the state
to push the matter. Farmers natur-
ally object to taXatian for improve
ments in which they see no immediate
benefit to themselves, but once assure
them of general system of roads and
their voice would favor such taxation"

Down the Bowery, in one of those little

a man came in between the acts one cold

but the rosy tint in his nose was vivid

bar and shivered. When the rush was
somewhat slackened, he stepped forward

About 20 omnibuses of the London
General Omnibus company are already
lit up by electricity. and double that
number are likely to be electrically
lighted in few days. The battery from
which the current is obtained weighs
about eight pounds and is placed in a
wooden box under one Of the seats. The
box is provided with two brass spring
terminals which make automatic con
tact with the battery when it is let down
into the box. The lamp is of special
manufacture and is made as small as
possible to allow it being placed in the
center of the roof. and for the same rea-
son the incandescent lamp is suspended
horizontally instead of vertically. BY
this arrangement a maximum amount
of light is obtained, and risk Of break
age is avoided. London News.

Within another year the ocean voy.

will be reduced to three days." said
Charles l.. Taylor of Toronto at the Palm
er yesterday. The Canadian Pacific
Steamship line will run direct to New
foundland, this route being nearly zoo
miles shorter than the route to New
York. In fact, we propose to land pas
sengers in Chicago five days out from
Liverpool, or in the same time now oc-
cupied to make the ocean voyage to New
York. A railroad will be constructed
from Newfoundland to connect with the
Boston and Maine road, and passengers
bound for the United States will be en-.
abled to take the short sea voyage, which
is destined to become the popular route
to Europe and change the direction Of
transatlantic travel. Chicago Tribune.
