MANCHESTER'S SHIP CANAL.
The Dream of Many Years Is Realized at
Last.

The Dream of Many Years Is Realized at
Last.
Within a short time the great ship ca
nal from Manchester to the sea will be
opened for traffic, and the hopes of more
than a generation Of cotton operators
will begin to be realized. For many
years these men have dreamed of time
when the vessels bearing their cotton
from abroad could sail proudly up to
their own wharves and deliver ctlrgoes
without paying toll at Liverpool. Nor
was the matter purely one of sentiment,
for the cost of the 3O-1nile shipment Of
merchandise from Liverpool to Manches-
ter by rail was as great as that of a &c.
0O0-mile ocean voyage.
Though the canal project was viyor
orsly agitated for a quarter of a century,
the opposition of interested railroads and
the city of Liverpool was SO strong and
successful that it was not till 1887 that
parliament could be induced to pass an
act authorizing its construction. Work
was begun the same year and has since
been constantly pushed, often with a
force of 1900 men, yet the time limit at
first set for it's completion was exceeded
by two years, and the cost, which was
estimated not to exceed S33 ,000,O 900, has
aggregated fully $S0, 900, 900.

Demolition of the Only Building That Es-
capped the Chicago Fire.
In this era of freproof buildings that
burn with the CELEBRITY of the traditional
tinder it seems like an act of vandalism
to destroy a structure that has not only
proved to be what it pretended, but
proved it in sue a manner rs to become
a landmark Of historic interest Never.
theless Chicago syndicate has dom
that very thing in demolishing the old
Nixon building OH the corner Of Monroe
and La Sale streets, to make room for
another mammoth Of the siiyscraping
variety.
The interest that attached to the
building is related in the words of an
inscription tina was placed upon the
cornerstone after the big fire. It was
as follows:
This ireproof building was tho only one in
the city that SUCCESSFULLY stood the test Of the
great fire OF October and 8, 1871.
The building was not finished when
the fire occurred, though the walls were
plastered and the floors laid. The in
terror was full of lumber intended fo1
finishing purposes, and in some of the
rooms it was piled nearl@ to the ceiling.
The structure was in the midst Of the
burned district, and the test which it
withstood was exceptionally severe.
When the fire was over, it was the only
building that could be fixed up for oc-
cupancy. its w alls and rooms being .Drac-

penser is required to refuse the applica-
ton OF any person whom he knows to be
a minor OF an habitral drunl1ard and
may even refuse to sell to persons who
want the liquor merely for convivial
purposes. He is not permitted to sell
anybody more than one supply on the
same day. Clubs are prohibited from
keeping liquors on hand for their mem
bers, and there are stringent provisions
against the violation Of the law by drug
gists.
''The State Dispensary' is the legal
title of the legal headquarters Of the
liquor traffic, and it is located in the old
Agricultural hall at Columbia. It is
under the direct supervision of Commis-
sioner D. Fl. Traxler. who was, up to the
time OF his appointment by Governor
Tillnan, successful merchant. He is
q thorough business man and member
of the Baptist church. His wife is prom
inent in the w. G. T. U. The commits
sioner's salary is 81, 800 a year and his
term of office two years. He will fur.
nish all local dispensaries with their sup
plies and is allowed by the law to charge
profit of 50 per cent on the cost price,
which profit, of course, goes into the
state treasury.
At present local dispensaries will be
restricted entirely to county towns and
can only be established on the petition
of majority of the freeholders.
No person is eligible for the position OF
county dispenser who keeps a hotel, res
taurant, saloon OF place Of amusement,
nor any licensed druggist or person who
has been convicted Of violating the ex-
else laws. The county dispenser is per-
mitted to add an additional SO per cent
profit to that paid the state commission
er, and this Is to be equally divided be-
tween the county and the town wherein
the dispensary is located. Charleston
and Columbia are the only places i'll the
state permitted to have more than one
dispensary. The former city has 10 and
the latter g. Six Of the counties will
have none at all, as the new law is not
intended to supersede the existing local
option law.
One OF the peculiarities of the new
condition Of things will be observed in
the sale of beer. Six or eight brands
are to be used, but they will be desig-
mated by numbers and not by their COM
mercial names. They will be sold at
the uniform price of Is cents a bottle.
Whisky will probably cost SO a gallon,
a rather steep price for ordinary goods,
but the consumer will have the benefit
Of the certificate Of the state chemist as
to its purity.
There is a probability of the constitu-
tionality Of the law being contested in
the federal courts on the ground of some
Of it's provisions conflicting with tie in
terstate commerce act, but the advocates
of the dispensary expect it to receive a
fai1. trial

and Montgomery counties and but 20
miles or so from Philadelphia, it is very
secluded, the scenery is romantic, and
visit to the camp will be a delightful ex-
cursion. There are the gorge and narrow
valley where the original forge was To-
Gated, in 1777 the only forge in the state
north Of Philadelphia, and thence the
slope is gentle to the Schuylkill. But the
fort and most Of the old camp are cov-
cred by a dense and tangled growth Of
brush and vines, and one may go within
few rods Of some we'll preserved land
mark and not see it.
Unfortunately all the big trees Of any
value We're cut down few years ago by
local proprietors, and an oak stump 3
feet across the top is all that remains Of
that magnificent forest monarch which
stood in the southeast corner Of Fort
Washington. The remains of the fort,
however, are remarkably well preserved.
The people living near by are not at all
proud of their predecessors, for it is a
painful fact that the farmers thereabout
in 1777-S were nearly all Tories. They
would not sell to the army, and when
troops We're sent out for forage the own
ers often burned it.
A clu1np Of trees in a plowed field
marks the site Of Fort Huntington, and
the main redoubt thereis still almost as
it was when the revolution closed. The
rifle pits also are we'll preserved, and to
this extent the growth of vines and brush
has been a great advantage, binding the
soil and preventing the washing. In the
middle Of u plowed field owned by a Mr..
Pierson and sacredly preserved is the
grave of one Of Washington's men, the
headstone bearing only this inscription,
~. W., ITS The G.. A. R. decorates
his grave every year, but who ':J. W."
was no man knows. The old Potts
Observation-Disclosures of Washington-is
still in good repair, and when the old
camp is cleared no doubt many an old
relic of tho sad winter of 1777-S will be
brought to light.

This institution goes on the year round
and has had an immense though in
some degree an u1lnoted influence on
the reading Of Americans. Its work is
now too well understood to need expla-

ever, that it is the dutgrowth of an idea
that first came to DIR. Vincent when he
was struggling M ethodist preacher in
New Jersey, studying nights to make up
for lack of thorough college training.
Perhaps the most important, next to
Chautauqua, is, in the nature OF things,
the Catholic SUNNI y school that held its
first sessions last y ear at New London,
Conn, and is now permanently located
at Plattsburg, N. Y, on the shore of
Lake Champlain. The school lasted but
three weeks last year--from Aug. to
Aug. 20-but it's success was much
greater even than was hoped for. An
average s1ttendanca of 1850 was expected
in fact, 500 We're present every day,
and the total mum Der of persons who
listened to one or more Of the lectures
was 800

There were also several popular lectures,
some of them being on women's work,
by Miss Katherine p. Conway, Miss
Katherine O'Keefe and Mrs. Mary Eliz-

in all.
The prospects Of this years school are

most prominent workers. The school
will last four weeks-from July IS to
Aug. 10. Rev. James F. Loughlin, D.
D., is president, and Rev. Thomas Nc
N1illen of New York, a Paulist, is chair
man of the board OF studies. The most
active lazy worker is Mr.. Warren E.
Mosher, editor Of The Catholic Reading
Circle Review. The social and residen-
tial features of the school are admirable,
and the institution is to be self support
ing, the leasing and selling of lots on
the ground being a means adopted to
that end.
It is not possible to adequately treat
the remaining Summer schools in the
space at command. The school at Bay

Coulter is the new principal, having been
chosen to succeed Dr.. Ely, will open
July IL and continue for four weeks.
There will be 45 instructors, and the

formed a partnership with George w.

They organized the United National

swelled into the Columbia National bank,
with an alleged capital of $1,00O,000.
The examiner hints that it was really
founded on u deficit OF 100000, all the
actual cash having been lost i'll mining
speculations in New Mexico. Neverthe-
less they went on organizing small
banks all over the country and induced
many good men to put in money and
lend their names. ALI these little banks
have collapsed, and startling revelations

Needn't fence it in for me!

And the whole airth underneath
Sort a SOS u man can breathe

Where the shatltier's thick and soft

Brash for me, and May--l jcs'

Little hints o sunshine and
Green around the timberland-
A few blossoms and a few
Drap asleep, and it turns in
Fore daylight and SHOWS ag'inl
But when June comes! Clear my throat
With wild honeyl Rench my hair
In the dew and hold my coat!
Whoop out loud and throw my haiti
June wants me, and I'm to spare!
Spread them shadders anywhere.
I'd git down and waller there
And obleeged to you at that!

Loves Faith.
Love can waitl
Being SO patient, it is strong.
If in this world it wait in vain,
1t surely shall not suffer long;
For in some other state,
Some life of larger scope,
1t ultimately shall attain
The full fruiton of its hope.
This is loves fuith-dcfying tate,
Time, change. neglect and laughter,
1t can wait
For the hereafter.
Say that this life is all we know,
And death has nothing to bestow
Beyond the graves duress
But silence and forgetfulness;
Then if | count the cost,
Seeing loves self is sacrifice,
surely have not lost
If with this life love dies.
But loves desire,
Being so patient and SO sure,
Though it may pass through tears and
fire
Aye, through the portals of the tomb
Win yet endure
Till its own time shall come.
Therefore. though never while we live,
1t may be mine to ask or yours to give:
Though you may pass beyond my ken,
And | be lost
Among the crowd OF nameess mon;
Though both be tempest tossed
To earths EXTREMIST ends afar,
know that we shall meet again,
Meet and be one in perfect love;
But when and where
Whether in this earth here, or heaven above,
Or in some unimagined world or star
neither know nor care.
Early or late,
Love can wait.

His Fruits Shall Follow.


The books say WELL my brothers. Each mans
life
The outcome Of his former living is.
The bygone wrongs bring forth sorrows and
woes:
The bygone right brings bliss
If he who liveth, learning whence woe springs,
Endureth patiently, striving to pay
His utmost debt for ancient evils done
In love and truth alway
If he shall day by day dwell merciful,
Holy and just and kind snd true, and rend
Desire from where it clings with bleeding roots,
Till love of life have end
He, dying, leayeth as the sum of him
A life count closed whose ills are dead and
quit,
Whose good is quick and mighty, and near,
So that fruits follow it.
