ing an official visit at Montreal privi-
legged company of citizens accepted an
invitation to dine on board the stately
vessel Among these folks was a charm
ing young lady. who, while inspecting
the ship under the guidance of a smart
bluejacket. entered into conversation
with him and presently made the inter-
esting discovery that they were brother
and sister. During early childhood they
lost their parents and were placed in an
orphan asylum in London, from which
institution the boy was sent to a train
ing ship and the girl to home in Cana
da. Eleven years then elapsed, during
which they lost all trace of one another.
until the strange coincidence described
brought about their happy reunion.-

Booths CarefuIness.

A Boston jeweler who had occasion
from time to time to manufacture jew
els for Edwin Booth, the tragedian. to
be worn in different characters, says he
was extremely conscientious in having
them made not only of the best mate
rial, but as near as possible historically
correct. In having costly crown of
gold and precious stones made for the
character of Richard III he sent to Lon
don to get the correct design. So in the
jewels for the character of Richelieu he
took great pains to consult the best au-
thorities. 1t did not satisfy him to be
told that the real could not be distin-
guished from the imitation on the stage;
hence he bought the costliest laces and
materials for his costumes.-New York

utilizing Vast. Paper.

At the instigation Of Chief Constable
Henderson a scheme has been set on foot
by the Edinburgh Association for Improv-
ing the Condition OF the Poor for collecting
waste paper from the householders and
having il sorted by the deserving poor OF
the city. thus giving work TO a number OF
the unemployed. The scheme also pro
vides remedies for three abuses-a great
waste Of material, a serious deterioration
in the value Of the city refuse, aud the an
noyance, danger and dirt caused by paper
blowing about the streets Canvas bags,
stamped For the Poor, A. /. C. p" are
sent 10 householders on an initial payment
of threepence. Full bags are lifted upon
information being sent to the office at the
Kings Stables Road or the constable on
beat receiving notice. An empty bag is
substituted free of charge. The paper thus
collected is conveyed to the factory in
Kings Stables Road, where, in well ven
tilated apartment on the top floor, over 80
women andSgirls are employed in sorting it.
The assortments are: White waste paper
colored waste paper, newspapers, books
letters, buff paper, brown and gray paper
and "hash." When it is mentioned that
"hash," the paper Of lowest marketable
value, can be collected and sorted without
loss, it will readily be seen that the scheme
is highly profitable. The scheme has now
been in operation for about fortnight,
and the amount Of paper coming in hes
been steadily on the increase, and there is
every prospect of it still increasing. House
holders, warehousemen and shopkeepers
unite in the cry for bags" the demand be-
ing so great that the staff employed cannot
overtake it, and many citizens have to wait
for weeks before being supplied. About 25
bags, each containing half hundred
weight, arrive daily, and on an average
fully two tons are sorted. The city is di-
vided into six districts, and man employ
ed by the association accompanies a We
hicle loaned by the cleaning department to
collect the filed bags Westminster Ga

paign TO candidates are ''fake" balls.
The candidate is surrounded when
he gets into the streets by men who
are trying to work him. Tfhe remains
at his place of business he is
surprised how many callers he
will have "all on the make" His
home is besieged and his door bell Is
constantly jingling and menleave word
that they are anxious to see him "on
matters of vital Importance" Then
the freshly started newspaper gets af-
ter him; they know their readers want
to see the "phiz" ofthe candidate; that
their paper is one ofthe most infiuen-
tial and widely circulated in the coun-
try, and that S25 expended In their col
umns would be extremely profitable to
the candidates prospects.
Then in rapid succession one finds
people whom he can loan $40 to start
"barber shop" or pay foran "express
wagon" Next comes the fellow who
had "pull" in the townships. The
genial su nshine Of the last days Of Oc-
tOber put notion in the fellows head.
The leaves Of autumn were falling, the
frosts were opening the chestnut burrs

districts would be agreeable and all
that would be required would be a

The book agents hound the candi-
date. They are travelling through the
city and country, they hear encourag-
ing reports of the chances Of the can
didate, but they know that they would
be much improved If you would sign
for the "New Views Of Asia" or take
monthly number of the IRREGULARITIES
Of the Great Cities OF the World. Por-
trait painters who think the candidate
ought to have his portrait hanging up
somewhere are willing for reduced
price, oc course, and the crayon artist
does not forget him either. The can
didate is besieged in 30 many ways
that he feels like a "rat in trap" He
can not get out or turn in any way he
pleases. The hollowness Of many Of
the schemes put up on the candidates
enables anyone with knowledge of
practical politics to shove them away,
but there are '.jobs" put up on him by
cunning fellows to worry him in his
waking and bring to him dreams not
rosy or sweet at nights.

The use of separators about power plant
is said by mechanical journal to be get
ting more and more general and for many
purposes. Among these, as enumerated, is
the placing of them between boiler and en-
gine to remove the entrained water from
the steam and thus increase the power and
efficiency Of the plant-to be a safeguard
against foaming or the sudden lifting OF
water from the boiler, thus avoiding the
common cause of the breakage Of engines;
also, between the high and low pressure
cylinders Of compound engines, to extract
the water due to cylinder condensation and
work done in the first cylinder, this often
amounting to from II to 40 per cent of the
total amount Of steam entering the cylin
der; again, between the engine and con
denser, to relieve the air pump and in
crease the efficiency of the condenser and
remove the oil, so that the tubes remain
clean, and the boilers can be fed with hot
water free from grease from the hot we'll;
and between the engine and heating sys-
tenn, on evaporating apparatus, on long
lines of pipe, on superheaters, as steam can
be easily superheated when dry, but when
it contains moisture this has to be all
turned into steam before single degree Of
superheat can be obtained. New York Sun.
Smashed Idols.
What years and years Of labor will
men not go through in order to gain the
esteem of their fellow man! Yet how
uncertain the reward. A thousand sue
cesses, a single mistake, and all is lost.
It is said now that if Admiral Tryon had
lived he might have been shot for his
great blunder. Only those who die or
retire at the right moment can hope to
retain what they have earned of fame.
Perhaps the cause of this smashing of
idols for first offense is that, feeling
ourselves equal as whole to the idol,
we take advantage of the first error that
shows the lack of supposed superiority
to knock the idol down to the common
level. Certain qualities may cause men
to become famous, but it is doubtful if

NJ. DeLesseps. 81 believe 1t will be
difficult to prove that it was corruption.
M. Baihaut told me that he had been
charged by the cabinet with the task of
studying the Panama canal matter,
and that the introduction of the bill
depended entirely upon him. He put
the matter so that there was no room
for hesitation"
Reinach, the banker, demanded
100000 francs for his influence.
In despair De Lesseps yielded to the
rapacity of the flnancier, under the ad-
vice of Freyciuet, Clemenceau and
Floquet, all high officers in the govern
ment of France. Appearances GER
tainly justify De Lesseps' accusation
that all these acts were initiated by the
government. Like LAGOON of old, he
was struggling in the coils of a serpent
he could neither shake off nor destroy.

The Panama Scandal.

The judicial probe has been, during
the past week, exploring new depths of
corruption in the Panama scandal in
France. Below the lowest deep the
investigation had reached, a lower
deep has yawned. Charles de Lesseps
has been again on the stand. If his
story is true, French bankers, cabinet
ministers, deputies and senators beset
the Panama management as footpads
waylay their victims. All seemed to
have combined to extort money from
the canal company, and the company,
to propitiate the robbers who had it in
their power to wreck its fortunes, scat
tered right and left to feed bribers and
extOrtionists the millions the confiding
peasantry of France had contributed to
build the canal. In the presence of
Charles de Lesseps' discriminating evi.
dence, Mons. Baihaut, ex-minister Of
public works, who demanded 1000 900
francs for introducing the lottery bond
scheme in aid of the canal, exclaimed
with pitiful expression of sorrow and
despair: 81 acknowledge having been
led astray. am guilty. My words
express the grief and repentance l feel.
l do not yet understand how l could
have fallen SO low. 1 ask pardon of
my country, whose good name 1 have
perhaps sullied." The reports of this
trial, sensational at every turn of the
tide of disclosure, declare that there
was o decided stir in the court room
when M. Baihaut began his pitiful
avowal of guilt, and this increased to
sensation as he closed in words that
were almost broken through his agita-
ton: 81 submit in advance to any
sentence which the court may pass on
me-" Charles de Lesseps, who man
aged the business connected with the
advertising and the syndicates, testi-
fed that he was informed that Mons.
Baihaut, at the time minister of public
works, would oppose the lottery bill if
large sum was not paid him. When
young De Lesseps learned this, he di.
rected that the minister's representa-
tive be sent for, who came and made
known his principals demands. The
judge declared that DeLessep's testi-
mony established the fact of corrup-
ton. cit was extortion," protested

Who's WhO2

One of the little things that appears
to be worrying the editors of the state
is the authorship of the matter appear
ing in the editorial columns of the
Argus. The Montpelier paper has the
nerve to assume that its editorials are
the product of it's own sanctum, while
it has been generally known that the
bulk of that work has been done by J.
E. Harris of the Hard,cick Gazette.
The new editor, imported" from the
wilds of Maine may sling some of the
editorial ink, but, unless he is better
imitator of style than we give him
credit, the best part of the copy for the
second and third columns of the Argus
second page comes into the office in a
big envelope b. airing the postmark of
Hardwick, Vt.-Granite City Leader.

raising insurance rates.
Mr.. McFarland's first point against
the WATCHMAN relates to the alterna-
tive presented to the applicant for in
surance who rejects the eighty per cent
co-insurance clause. The alternative
is an increase in the rate of insurance.
To this point Mr.. Mcfarland devotes
