Poor Attendance at the Fair.

With the first half Of the exposition
the worlds fair directors are all highly
satisfied except in one respect. The
exposition is all that anyone could ex-
pect, and more than anyone can real
ize, but the attendance has been mis-
erably small. For various reasons peo-
pie have not come to the fair as it was
expected they would come, aud unless
there is wonderful increase in the
attendance during the remaining
period the managers of the big show
will be troubled to pay its debts. That
is about all they hope to do now, but
they confidently expect to do that
much.

The Maine Non-FOrfeiture Law.

The Maine Non Forfeiture Law.
There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union Mutuars acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing its benefits, it being
equally we'll understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland, Maine, is the only compa-
ny issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices of Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the benefcent operation of the Maine
Non Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag
gregated in amount more than $500
One of these cases will suffice to show
the far-reaching scope and liberal char
acter of this law:

Insured died, June IT, 1898.
Proofs OF death received June 81, 1893.
Draft in settlement payable on demand,) for
warded to Beneficiary, June 20, 1898.
The amount of the draft was $9T9.64,
such being the face of the Policy, less
the foreborne Premium for one year at
Ordinary Life rate, viz: Twenty dollars
(not Endowment Premium of $6740
such as he would have paid had the pol
lev been in full force at the time of death
by the payment of premiums) and thirty
six cents interest thereon. The simple
narration of the facts herein set forth,
without laudation is the most eloquent
tribute that such law can have.

Preventing Fnture nriseru-

If there is, in this vale of tears. a more
prolific source of misery than the rheu-
matte twinge, we have yet to hear of it.
People are born with a tendency to rheu-
matism, just as they are with one to con-
sumption or to scrofula. Slight causes
may develop this. AS soon as the agoniz-
ing complaint manifests itself, recourse
should be had to Hostettcr's Stomach
Bitters, which checks its further in
roads and banishes the rheumatic
poison from the system. This statement
tallies exactly with the testimony of
physicians who have employed this fine
blood depurent in their private practice.
There is also the ampiest professional and
general testimony as to the efficacy of the
bitters for malaria, liver complaint, con-
stIpation, indigestion, kidney trouble,
nervousness and loss of appitite and
flesh. After wetting, whether followed
by Il cold or not, the bitters is useful as a
preventive of the initial attack of rheu-
maLlSm.

THE CAUSE or LABOR TROUBLES

THE CAUSE or LABOR TROUBLES.
A Domoraiized tubafc sentiment Re-
sponsibie for the Conflicts.
John Gordon Gray, writing in the cur
rent number of the EhgiHee479g Mage
zt1e, in reply to the Pennsylvania manu-
facturer, Charles J. Harrah, says:
Il shall not attempt in this short paper
to discuss all the causes OF modern labor
troubles, or the remedies which may be
advanced to meet them; but one cause
and one remedy are so potent and over
shadowing that / cannot forbear to men
ton them.
The cause is the Generalization of
public sentiment. Edmund Burke's
words, You cannot iudict whole peo-
ple,' have passed into current speech and
thought, and have been applied in a
wider sense than that in which they were
meant. Hence it has come to be that
whatever is done by a sufficient number
OF people is right, and above and Beyond
the law. A whole people cannot, indeed,
be indicted from within, but that is be-
cause Of the physical impossibility, not
because OF the moral law. The law eX
ISIS, whether or not wrought into pre-
cedent or spread upon the statute books,
ana IN tho natural world punishment for
its violation is meted out with stern JUS
lice whether the offenders be three or
three thousand-one individual who dis
regards the laws of his being, or whole
community which neglects the laws OF
sanitation and health. A large number
OF people can have no rights which =
lew individuals do not have. Yet it has
been gravely argued by men eminent in
law and in public affairs that the body
OF workers at Homestead possessed, APP
parentIy, by virtue of their numbers, GER
tain rights in their employers property
which, ii claimed by the cOachman or
house servants of these eminent gentle
men, would have aroused their amaze
ment and scOrn. \ nation sees with ap-
proval, or at least justification, the lead
ing cltlZenS' of New Orleans marching
| III defiance of the law, to the Jail, to
slaughter prisoners who had just been ac-
quilted by the court after due trial. Is it
wonderful that the echoes Of New Orleans
should be heard in CCeur d'Alene and
Homestead, or that other leading citi-
Zens' III other places should hold them
selves above The law?
so much for the cause Of such out
breaks as that at Homestead The rem
edy IS to call things by their right names.
Let murder be called murder, and crime
be called crime. 1t does not alter the
1act, that the murder has been by a mem
Der OF labor organization, either as an
individual or as part Of a collective body
engaged IN carrying out the policy Of such
an organization. There can be in this
country no imperi18l in tDtpcrio by which
violence, murder and conspiracy may be
licensed, acquire some other character,
and be called by some other name.
w ordS are things, and when we use the
right words we have made a long step
toward a right understanding. Let us
have an end of the substitution Of some
softer and evasive phrase for the violence

We mounted into the carriages. As we
did SO we saw Stamm in the distance gal
loping up the mountain side from the
village upon his horse. Zodomirsky's
eyes followed him.
Il know not what preseutment tor
ments me-" he said, ''but wish his pistol
had been loaded, and that he had fired"
lie uttered deep sigh, then shook his
head. as If with that he could disperse
his gloomy thoughts.
Home" he called to the driver.
We took the same route that we had
come by, and consequently again passed
Mariana Ravensky's window. Each of
US looked up. but Mariana was no longe +
there.
Captain" said Zodomirsky, will you
render me service ?''
Whatever you wish,' l replied.
II count upon you to tell my poor
fair"
II will do so. And when?"
Now. The sooner the better. Stop I"
cried Zodomirsky to the coachman. He
stopped, and L descended, and the car
riage drove on.
Zodomirsky had hardly entered when
he saw me appear IN the doorway of the
saloon. Without doubt my face was pale
ana wore look Of CONSERVATION, for 10
domirsky sprang toward me, crying:
Great heavens, Captain! What has
happened?'
drew him from the saloon.
My poor friend, haste, if you wish to
see Mariana alive. She was at the win
dow; she saw Stamm gallop past. Stamm
being alive, it followed that you were
dead. She uttered cry and fell. From
that moment she has never opened her
eyes"
.'Oh, my presentimentp' cried Zodo-
mirsky, my presentimentr' and he
rushed, hatless and without his saber,
into the street.
On the staircase of Mile. Ravensky's
house he met the doctor, who was coming
down.
Doctor" he cried, ''she is better, is
she not?''
Yes he answered, because she suf-
fers no more"
Dead" murmured Zodomirsly, grow
ing white and supporting himself against
the wall. "Deadr'
Il always told her, poor girl! that hav-
ing weak heart, she must avoid all emo
tom
But Zodomirsky had ceased to listen.
He sprang up the steps, crossed the hall
and the saloon, calling like a madman,
Mariana! Marianap'
AT the door of the sleeping chamber
stood Mariana's old nurse, who tried to

entered the room.
Mariana was lying motionless and pale
upon her bed. Her face was calm as if
she slept. Zodomirsky threw himself
upon his knees by the bedside, and seized
Eer hand. 1t was cold, and in it was
clinched curl of black hair
My hair? cried Zodomirsky, burst
ing into sobs.

For Tired Horses.
The discussion Of the question of speed
and endurance Of horses which arose out
of the recent long distance ride between
Berlin and Vienna, has brought forth a
large crop of devices and noStrums for
picking up" jaded horses and cattle.
One correspondent writes that the ori-
entails are particularly well versed in
indications that have special virtue in
such cases. He mentions specially the
''gunjah,'' the dried cannabis plant which
has lowered, and from which the rosin
has been removed. 1t is sold in bundles,
about two feet long and three inches in
diameter. 1t is used by smokers who de-
rive intense enjoyment from its narcotic
fumes. He first learned it's value when
administered to Over-worked cattle, by
Witnessing its effects long before the rail-
way period. A very arduous and difii-
cult march was being performed on an
unfinished road through mountainous
country. The oxen had had long spell
OF continuous work, and the road was
precipitous, and foothold was so difficult
to get that the cattle became exhausted
and tottered about helpIessly, unable to
proceed. There could be no halt for tigers

retreat. There was wild racing
and chasing among the trees in the
orchard; the spook performing some
very peculiar pranks for the disem-
bodied spirit of so eminent a divine
as Exodus Sarcoxie OF Green Turtle
bayou.
Despite the crippled ankle il might
have got of all right had it not been
for an accident, which changed the
whole complexion of the affair.
In the orchard were several deep
hog-wallows. Some Of them were Of
liberal dimensions and filled with
water from the heavy rain Of the
night before.
With shrill shrek that echoed
wildly through the orchard and
reached the ears of the watchers at
the cabin, bringing them rushing
toward the scene Of disaster, the
luckless spook went laundering into
one of the largest of the wallows.
When the foremost OF the vigil
holders reached the fence around the
orchard. the silvery moonlight gave
them clea.. view of job Robinson as
sisting limp, despoiled figure out Of
deep hole.
They were not long in recognizing
in the limp and dripping figure the
late pastors niece, Venus Sarcoxie.
How did this happen, job Robin
son?" demanded one of the watchers,
harshly.
job was equal to the occasion, and
with a desperate resolve to save his
own and Miss SarcoXic's reputation,
he answered:
Miss Venus jest KEN down in de

Satisfied with the explanation. the
brethren walked back 10 the cabin,
leaving job and Venus to follow more
slowly.
