Mr., has. b. Spahr Of Columbia university has
recently examined the records Of the Surrogates
of IS counties IN the state Of New York. covering
the last three months Of 1898 and including the
counties of New York and Kings. the richest in

Think OF it. Less than per cent were worth
5000 and less than - per cent were worth Sl292

The engine house of a coal mine at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, caught fire Saturday
night and the flames spread to the mine
itself, in which forty men were at work.
Engineer Thomas Lloyd, who was alone,
saw that if the engine stopped the life
sustaining current of air which the fan
forces into the mine would be cut off. He
therefore stood at his post and three times
brought to the surface the cage bearing the
miners, until all were saved. Lloyd was
badly burned, but will recover.

THE woMAN's PETITION.
The contemplated tour of the leaders of
the Woman's Christian Temperance union.
probably not to be begun until 1895, is for
the purpose of presenting the monster
polyglot petition with suitable ceremonies
to most of the various governments of the
world, particularly in Southern Europe
and the Orient.
The petition has now affixed to 1t the
names of more than three million people.
1t is signed in fifty different languages and
before IT starts upon Its second round of
travel 1t will have been offered for sigma
lures in every quarter of the globs. 1t is
the protest of the worlds womanhood
against intemperance, opium and legalized
vices. It represents not only that intense
opposition to these evils which is caused
by knowledge of the sufferings they en-.
tail, but 1t represents an astonishing ex
penditure of labor, much sacrifice of time
and strength end the most indomitable
spirit and eager enthusiasm on the part of
those who have been active in promoting
its circulation.

SENATOR HILL.

What can be done, even in this world of
suspicion. stupidity and prejudice, is we'll
illustrated by Senator David B Hill. Only
a little while ago he was pretty generally
looked upon as a ward politician who had
managed by the exercise of political arts to
get into place which was altogether too
big for him, and which he in no wsy
adorned. But there has been a great
change. 1t is now seen that Senator Hill
is well entitled to place among
the senatorial Legislators of the ma.
tion. 1t is seen that he is
more than q ward politician, and the
feeling that he is real statesman is rapid
ly gaining strength. He has made this re-
markable change by timely and noble ex-
erciee of his great ability and his fine cour-
age. 1t was his proudest boast that he
was Democrat, but he now wants it dis
tinctly understood that he is not the kind
of Democrat that seems to bs in the saddle
in these days. He is a Democrat who
does not hesitate to show his
party where 1t is wrong, and who
has the pluck to attempt to stem the tide
of folly and misgovernnent that has set
in. He may not succeed, but he has cue
ceeded in showing that he has magnificent
ability, sound judgment, clear sight and
an honest regard for good government and
the prosperity of the country. His great
speeches are not so much partisan as
statesmanlike and patriotic. In his last
one he showed with startling clearness
what the Democrats have done in their
struggles to face both ways and
all ways, and he truly told them that If a
Democratic congress is to he permitted to
repudiate we'll established Democratic
principles and to enuuciate new one s with
ont the sanction of national convention,
and to compel their support as a test of
party fealty, we may next expect to hear
of the adoption, in tariff or appropria-
tion bill, of Mr.. Henry Georges single tax
theory, or provision abolishing all Gus
tom houses and reeorting to direct Federal
taxation instead of q tariff for revenue, or
providing for the assumption of government
tai control and management of all the tele-
graphs, railroads and banks of the coun-
try, or the adoption of any other wild and
visionary scheme of socialism, paternal-
ism, or populism which the msjority may
see fit to sanction.
Senator Hill Is still Democrat, we sup
pose, but he is evidently very thoroughly
disgusted with the kind of Democracy
which seems to be considered the thing in
Washington. His insight, his judgment
and his love of his country forbid him to
sit still and hold his peace while the fam
tastic performance 10 going on. His course
| will, we suppose, either kil him politi-
cally in his own party, or make him
| trusted and respected leader when his wis
dom and foresight are appreciated. But
whatever effect 1t may have upon him po-
! litically 1t has greatly raised him In the
estimation of those who were in the habit
! of looking upon him as Democrat Of the
! baser sort. He has had great opportuni-

TO OUR READERS.

TO OUR READERS.
For several weeks We have been making
preparations to change the form of the
JOURNAL AND COURIER SO that 1t will be
more in accordance with the modern ides
of what is best in newspaper shape. The
preparations are about completed, and un.
less there is an unforeseen hitch in the
programme this issue of the paper will be
the last one of the present form. In order
to make the change we have had a press
built by the Goss Printing Press
company of Chicago. 1t is fine
machine and will enable us to not
only give our patrons a paper of con-
venient shape, but will help us to serve
them earlier and more promptly than we
have been able to do with the old press,
which, though always faithful and eff
oient, has not been fast enough to meet the
requirements Of our steadily growing cir
culation. With the new press we can
print all the papers that are wanted and
have them ready on time. The marvellous
Mergenthaler linotype machines and
stereotyping outfit have also baen added to
our mechanical department, making an
equipment which is not excelled in Con-
necticut.
In arranging the new paper we have
been careful to preserve as far as possible
the old arrangement so that our readers
can ''find things" for which they have
been accustomed to look. OF course 1t
will take them few days to get used to
the new form, but the novelty will soon
wear off, and we believe they will like 1t
very much. The paper will be more con-
venient to handle and more easy to read.
There will be more room for reading mat
ter, and there will also be more room and
more advantageous places for adver-
tisers. bota readers and advertisers will
soon see and appreciate the benefits of the
change. 1t is, perhaps, needless to say
that we intend to make a steady improve
ment in the substance as we'll as In the
form of the paper, but there will be no
change in the policy which has made the
JOURNAL AND COURIER a welcome, trusted
and permanent attachment to thousands of
homes. There is to be change of body,
but not of soul. We believe our old
friends will like the new appearance, and
If 1t attracts new friends we shall hope that
they too will like that which Is under the
appearance long and we'll enough to be-
come old friends.

FASHION NOTES.
Summer Girls In Prints.

Pretty summer gowns ara made of prints
which ought to delight the heart of the
most exacting man. The bodice lie drawn
full on trimming and is slightly pointed
front and back, just the little point that is
60 becoming to almost any figure. About
the edge of the bodice is drawn elk sash
of color to match the figure CT the print.
The sash ties in dainty bow just to the
