STATE BOUNDARIES.
How Alterations Have Been Made
An Over the Country.
The Changing of the Lines Has Resulted
in the Loss OF Large Tracts OF
Land tn Many of the East
ern States.

Connecticut's discovery that she is
some square miles larger than she sup
posed is not remarkable, since some
thing of the kind has happened to per-
haps every state and territory in the
union, says the New York Sun. Any
man who bets on state areas by the
figures of thirty years ago will lose.
The fathers of to-day who happen to
have good memories find themselves
puzzled when they hear their children
reading areas out of the current school
textbooks. Anyone who will take
the trouble to compare the areas given
in the census reports of 1890 and those
in the reports previous to 1880 will find
surprising differences. The census SUI
perintendents don't trouble themselves
to ascertain areas. They accept what
they obtain from official sources. The
general land officeis one source of infor-
nation, and doubtless official state
surveys are accepted. In 1880 the su-
perintendent of the census used a re-
Vised set of areas and Superintendent
Porter accepted the figures of that de-
cade or followed the same authorities.
The superintendent of the census
adopt an arbitrary rule of regarding all
regions having less than two inhabi-
tants to the square mile as unsettled"
In most of the New England and mid
die Atlantic states there are no such
unsettled areas. Superin tendent Por-
ter found about 1000 square miles of
the Maine woods and 1000 square miles
of the Adirondacks region unsettled
The other unsettled areas of the north
east are hardly worth considering.
The discrepancies between the set
tied areas reported in the census of 1870
and those reported in 1890 are rather
startling. New Hampshire lost in
those twenty years more than 450
square miles. Massachusetts, gained in
the same time nearly $50 square miles.
Vermont lost nearly LOO square miles
and Rhode Island more than 200. Con-
necticut gained 95 square miles. New
Jersey lost more than $50 square miles
and Maryland lost more than 1000
square miles. Even poor little Della
ware lost 160 square miles and in the
census of 1900 she will show a still diff
ferent area as the result of her recent
dicl1ering with Pennsylvania. AS to
the newer states, which might reasona-
bly, be expected to show changes in set
tied area from one decade to another,
the figures given in the census reports
of 1870 and in those of 1890 vary in even
greater degree. Nearly all the larger
states, whether old or new, show con-
siderable losses in area since 1870. New
York lost nearly 500 square miles;
Pennsylvania rather more thsn 1000;
Virginia nearly 1000, and North Caro-.
lima over 2,1Oo. Florida gained nearly
1000 square miles, probably the result
of an extension of the settled area.
Ohio's gain of nearly 1000 is hardly
traceable to the same source, though
gains of 500 square miles in Illinois and
40 in Iowa are probably assignable to
this cause

THE RAILROAD IN PALESTINE
Modern Civilizations Advances Into the
Lands of the Bible.

Modern Civilizations Advances Into the
Lands of the Bible.
The present is a kind of columbus
year. for Palestine, and in commemora-
ton of the opening of the railroad in
the holy land an extra flag might be
displayed at the great Chicago exposi-
tion, writes Selah Merrill, United States
consul, in Scribner.
During the month of August, 1892,
tens of thousands of people for the
first time in their lives saw q railroad
and a train OF cars. They had arevela-
ton, and in the great city as well as in
the dirtiest village of the land wonder
was ct its height. The excitement can
hardly be realized by the inhabitants of
other countries, to whom railroads,
perfected by the highest engineering
skill and with lavish expense, are OBJ
jects as familiar and common as daily
newspaper. We forget that not very
long ago, in our own country, we had
only bridle-paths and scarcely yearly
post, while railways and steamboats,
had not even been dreamed of. Let all
the world rejoice if this medieval coun-
try is experiencing a sensation which it
can hardly comprehend.
The significance of this event is not
that fifty-three miles of railway have
been built, or that the capital and the
seaport have been united by iron rails;
it is that this has been done in Turkey,
which has always, by all the prejudice
and force of its religion, by all the arts
of its diplomacy, and by every other
means at its command, done all in its
power to keep out western civilization.
It is, therefore, well aimed spear
thrust in the side of this old despotic,
baclzward-looking government, and may
foretolen for it either the dawn of
health or the shadows of inevitable
death.

A Trainer Needed,

In the foot ball game Saturday the
necessity of trainer for the team at
this place was clearly shown. We
have some plucky, gritty and deter
mined players, as is proved by the
good game put up by them against a
team which has been in training
since September Ist. Their oppo-
nents out-tricked them. Our boys
under good trainer two weeks will
beat the U. of T., and if they had
had the advantages the Varsity team
has had, they could come near stand
ing at the top of the colleges in the
state. We say give the boys a chance
to show what is in them by giving
them trainer. They have worked
faithfully under disadvantages.

An Old Negro's Awful Fate.

An old colored man named Annis.
ton Osborne, living some two or..three
miles east of Maryville, met an awful
fate last night. He was living with
only a small boy in small house,
and fortunately the boy was off on a
visit. Some time in the night the
houre took fire, and being in an iso-
lated place it was not discovered
until it was well enveloped in flame,
and nothing could be done to allay
the flames. The old man was evil
IDENTIFY sleeping, and when the burn
ing was over his charred fremains
were found in crisp. TheIarms and
legs were burned off, while the re-
mainder of the body was mass of
burnt flesh.
The supposition among many is
that he suffocated. This recalls to
the mind Of the writer a fire that oc-
Cured in MaryvilleIa good while ago.
A family was sleeping in the lower
rooms, while the fire was first dis
covered to be in the root. Neighbors
came quickly to the place, but too
late to save the house or anything in
the way of property that was in it. 1t
was with great difficulty the sleeping
inmates could be aroused, and they
barely escaped with their lives. 1t
was then remarked by number Of
persons that had had observations,
that fire burning over sleeping
person served to sink the sleeper
into a deeper stupor and only make
him sleep the sounder, which rem
ders a fire more dangerous than
otherwise. 1t was accounted for as
consuming the oxygen above the
sleeper and thus deprivingh himkof an
active RECRUITMENT in the living pro-
cess.-Journal.

The Other Side OF 1t.

As we have published ain article
from the other side of the Mormon
question, We have been requested to
publish the following. We do not
wish to treat anyone unfairly, and
that is our reason for doing so, but
wish to say now that we do not want
and cannot have long theological
discussion through the columns of
this paper, as we have not the space.
We are opposed to long articles on
such subjects, for we are here to give
our readers the news and not to dis
cuss Theological subjects. Those in
terested can get books and church
papers that deal with such subjects.
We therefore will give space to this
and an answer from DR.. Bartlett if
he wishes it, then so far as we are
concerned the debate will be closed.
Mr.. demonstrating in the
TINES Of November IS the article
from P. M. Bartlett, l will also write
few lines. He speaks of the Nor
mons claiming that the Book of Nor
mon is the word Of God and it is les:
liable to mistakes than the Bible, as
the latter was translated by unin
spired men. One of the articles oi
faith of the Latter Day Sainte is
awe believe the Bible to be the word
of God as far as it is translated cor
rectly; we also believe the Book o.
Mormon to be the word of God. The
late translation Of the Bible differ,
from King James translation. Sc
there must be mistakes in one or they
would be exactly alike. So if there
are a few mistakes they are the mis-
takes Of man and not Of God; and ]
think every thinking man would de
eide the same way. saw commu
