~ Rufus Choate was one of
Webster's most intimate friends,
and like Webster, he was o man of
liberal tastes and large desires.
Both were often in pecuniary straits
and borrowed; and it is even said
that their promises to pay were not
always regarded at the banks as
gilt-edged paper. One day when
Choate was in Washington he called
upon Mr.. Webster and said: Web
ster, | want to borrow $500, and l
have thought that perhaps you
might assist me in negotiating q
loan for that amount Mr.. Web
ster reflected a moment and then
replied: 'Choate, the fact is
want to borrow $500 myself, and !
was just wondering how it could be
done when you came in. 1t now
occurs to me that if we join forces
we may be able to raise the amount
we both require
How about Corcoran?' inquired
Choate.
Suppose we 60 and see Corcoran,'
replied Webster.
In few moments they were on
their way to Corcoran's bank. Mr..
Corcoran received his distinguished
visitors with politeness and invited
them into his private room. Mr..
Webster stated the purpose of their
call. saying that Mr.. Choate and
himself wished to borrow thous-
and dollars, and that they had
thought, perhaps, he might be able
to accommodate them, Mr.. Corcor-
an replied that he should be pleased
to do so, and, sitting down at q
desk, he filled out a note for the
amount and handed it to them to
sign. They both signed it prompt
ly, and Mr.. Corcoran, going into
the other room, obtained the money
aud placed it in Mr.. Webster's
hands. A few moments later the
two callers withdrew and proceeded
up Pennsylvania avenue toward the
Capitol. For several moments they
walked on in silence. Then Web
ster said:
'Choate.'
what is it, Webster?'
Il have been wondering what in
the world Corcoran wanted of that
piece of paper

DEFINING HIS PosITI0N.-In
his speech last Friday night before
the Columbia Democratic Club of
the 18th Ward of Baltimore City,
Hon. John G.. Rogers, our candi-
date for Congress, defines his posi-
ton when he said:
we are entering upon a progress
sive campaign. The initial step
only has been taken but there must
be no retrograde from this begin
ming. The country demands an
onward movement of the tariff fight,
and will be satisfied with nothing
but a total removal of the burdens
under which it is now struggling
and which were only partially taken
of by the incomplete tariff bill
passed by the present Congress-
In addition TO the paragraph
quoted above Mr.. Rogers said in his
speech:
Il propose to conduct this cam
paign without indulging in person
! slities. My efforts shall be direct
ed to the heart and the mind rather
than to passion and prejudice. l
have already expressed my full f.
deity to the platform adopted by
the convention which nominated me
and which boldly and unequivocal-
ly declared for continuation of the
tariff-reform fight. shall not vary
one jot or title from the full spirit
and letter of these resolutions.
This is not time for equivocation
Or hating. The democracy of the
whole country will require at the
hands Of the next Congress a full
and faithful performance of all its
demands. 1t will demand that the
stroke already given in this direc-
ton be dealt with redoubled vigor
and ardor in the next House of
Representatives

Saint Maru's Beacon


On the Canary Island grows q
fountain tree, tree most needed
in some parts of the Island. Ii is
said that the leaves constantly dis
till enough water to furnish drink
to every living creature in Hero,
nature having provided this reme-
dy for the drought Of the island.
Every morning, near this part Of
the island, a cloud or mist arises
from the sea, which the winds force
against the steep cliff on which the
tree grows, and it is from the mist
that the tree distills the water.
China. too, claims her remarka-
BILE tree. This is known as the tai
low tree, so called from the fact of
its producing substance like tai
low, and which serves the same pur-
pose, is of the same consistence,
color ana smell.
On the island of Lewchew grows
tree about the size of a common
cherry tree, which possesses the Pc
culiarity of changing the color OF
its blossoms. At one time the flow
er assumes the tint Of the lily and
again shortly takes the color of the
rose.
In Thibet there is q curious tree
known as the tree of the thousand
images; its leaves are covered with
..well-defined characters of the Thi.
betean alphabet. 1t is of great age
and the only one of its kind known
there.
The baobab tree is considered
one of the most wonderful of the
vegetable kingdom. Itappears that
nothing can kill this tree; hence il
reaches an astonishing age as well
as enormous size. The natives
make a strong cord from the fibers
of the bark; hence the trees are
continually barked, but without
damage, as they soon put forth al
new bark. 1t appears imperviouf
to fire, and even the ak is resisted,
as it continues to grow in length
while it is lying on the ground.
In Mexico there is plant known
by the name of Palo de Leche. II
belongs to the family of Euphorbia
The Indians throw the leaves int
the water and the fish become stu
pefied and rise to the surface ant
are then caught by the natives. II
this case the effect of the narcotic
soon passes of. The milk of thi
plant thrown upon the fire gives on
fumes that produce nauseau AM
headache. The milk taken inter
nally is deadly poison; it will pro
duce death or insanity according t.
the size of The dose. There is
popular belief among the lower elias
in Mexico that the insanity of tn
ex-Empress Carlotta was caused b

BILE industry in his own country, says:
"The price of labor is generally lit
tie higher than for other kinds Of work
in Sweden, but as compared with wages
in America those of Sweden are very
low. A skilled stonecutter earns about
$220 per year. -
Think of this difference with the
American marble miners earnings Of
$405 year and then consider how pro-
tective tariff has made the wages here
what they are and how its removal by
the "thimble ring tariff" will operate
by the time another year rolls around.
Having inquired into the marble BUSH
ness, with the result shown above, /
readily understood how it is that the
largest marble quarry in Now York
proposes shutting down the coming
winter. While it is true that they en-
ploy only 10S hands, with weekly out
put of rs gangs per week, or an equiv
alent of G75 inches, yet if the same per-
centage of employees are to be thrown
out of work in other sections what q
vast number will be without employ
ment, and what deprivation it means
for their families!

aEsS WORK AND LOWER WAGES uN-
DER DEMOCRACY.

The Reduced Tariff VIII Bring Marble
From Italy and Sweden-It Comes as
ballast Fiee of Freight-The Foreign
WORKERS Get Half the Pay of Americans.
An industry to which little attention
seems to be given by persons outside Of
those interested in it is that of quarry
ing and manufacturing marble. ain
not now speaking Of the beautiful Ca
rarra marble used in statuary with
which we delight to please our sense of
the beautiful, but the more substantial
and useful sort that is used for various
building purposes. The industry in this
country alone represented an output of
$3, 705, 900 in 1892, and this means not
only valuable production from COM
meroial point of view, but valuable.
too, for its intrinsic worth The variety
of American marble is so great and the
quality so superior that for all purposes
of ordinary use we need not go out Of
cur own country to purchase this most
useful product of nature.
Marble is found in eight states, and
while mined most extensively in Yer
mont the seven others make a good
showing. This is new industry for our
country, too, and was only made posi-
bile by the encouragement afforded by
protective tariff. In 1892 the production
had increased to its greatest value AL
though, according to the order Of prog
ress, the year 1898 should have seen
an increase on the production Of the
previous year, instead there was a
falling off of 81, 1903, 90S, or 34.9 per
cent, bringing the value down to
81, All, 092. So much for the effect upon
one industry of protective tariff and
the threatening effect of free trade
tariff 1t has amounted to more than a
threat, however, for we find that the
new tariff has reduced the former pro-
tective duty by 30 per cent in the case
of manufactured marble and 10 per
cent in the case of manufactured. If
the house bill had become a law it
would have been even worse, for that
body proposed reducing the duty in each
case to greater extent than the senate
bill.
What these reductions mean and how
they affect these who have heretofore
been given employment by this new in
siustry can best pc understood by the
shutting down of the companies that
quarry and manufacturer the marble
which has been shown by the falling
off in value of production-or in the
reduction i'll wages in other companies
OF course it is perfectly clear that pro
ducers in this country cannot afford to
compete with their European neigh

wages are equal to less than half those

OF the convention. Four features of the
convention deserve especial mentlon-the
address and discussion on the Y. M. c. "A

voked lively discussion, and the testimony
of pastors were given as to the advantage of
utilizing the association in this important
line of work. The address on this subject

ton, and the author Was highly compliment
ed upon the admirable manner in which she

paper will appear in the Young Mems Era,
probably in connection with the report of
the convention. The fourth feature was
the gospel meeting for men held Sunday
afternoon, attended by nearly 1000 men.

WINCHESTER REPEATING. ARMS.

For deer shooting or other big game,
the Winchester repeating rifle, man.
ufactured by the Winchester Repeat
ing Arms Co., New Haven, Conn, is
absolutely the most effective. In all
the requisites of strength, simplicity
and durability, it stands second to no
firearm. There is an entire absence Of
any bothersome complication in its
construction. Nearly all sportsmen
who are recognized as authorities on
the subject, have Endorsed the Win
chester rifle. In one instance which
we call to mind-the Turtle Lake
one Of the largest and most successful
Shooting Club-which, by the way, is
organizations Of the kind in the coun-
try-the Winchester rifle is used by
every member and no others are to
be found in the gunroom Of the club.
The Winchester Repeating Arms Co.'s
shot guns and single-shot rifles have
also a worldwide reputation. These
arms are for sale by all leading deal
ers. A Observation-Disclosures cata-
logue describing the guns and giving
directions for their use will be mailed
to intending purchasers on request.

There Is nothing better than BENIN col
las, applied plentifully with sponge, to
take grease spots from leather.
When leather is discolorcd, an applica.
ton of aniline dye, in color TO match, and
coating, when the dye is dry, of the
white of an egg will restore tho original
color of the spots.
Leather belts or boots that have been
soaked in water and dried hard may be
softened by rubbing plentifully with coal
oil. If the leather is very dirty, wash it
with good, hot soapsuds first.
Patent leather boots and shoes should
be kept on tree or shaped with paper to
prevent the stock from cracking. A few
drops of petroleum applied with WOODEN
cloth is all the dressing needed to keep tho

Ovid Register: Considerable excitement
has been caused by the news spreading over
the town that Miss Alice Weisner, pretty
girl who has only seen fourteen summers,
has given birth to child. Miss Wesner is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Levi Weisner
who reside just across the line in Shiawas-
see county. Alice has always been respected
and she is an intelligent, handsome young
lady, but to know that her child is an ille-
climate one has not only placed dark COW
ering over her life but has also brought sad
ness into the home of her parents. A war
rant has been issued by Justice Southworth
for the arrest of Wellington Stevens, an
Ovid boy, who is charged with the crime.
Mr.. Weisner says the young man has been
given an opportunity to marry his daughter,
unknown, that when found, the law must
take its course.
