A Modern Convenience.


On the Fourth of March, 1899. an
enterprising Yankee left Boston for
New York, carrying a carpet bag OF
most goOdly dimensions. The man
was William +. Harnden, and his
carpet bag apparently contained only
a few packages of money and valuable
papers, consigned to New York mer-
chants. 1t had occurred TO Harnden
that by saving business men the ex-
pense of special messenger for the
transfer of each individuals packages.
a paying occupation might be worked
up for himself. The idea was so novel
that it took a long time for that gem
Grafton to patrOniZe the new way
Perhaps Harnden thought the load
was light, but now we can see that it
contained not only the few packages
on his memorandum but the whole
vast express system of to-day, employ
ing an army of men, transporting
millions of money and thousands OF
tons of various merchandise, and also
doing banking business through its
money orders. What would our life
be now had we TO return to special
messenger or the unpaid service of
some neighbor on his travels? Can
we not justly call the express system
a modern convenience? The develop
ment of Harnden's idea is aStOund-
ing; and yet we must recognize that
without the anterior building of rail
roads-such as the Burlington system,
linking to each other and the com
mercial world hundreds of towns and
cities of the great and popular western
states-the scheme would have re-
manned but little more comprehensive
than when first devised. 1t is not for
us to advise what express company is
preferable, but when it comes to
railroad you can never miss it by in
sisting that the ticket agent must sell
you ticket by the Burlington Route,
to any of the larger cities and towns
of the country, or you can write to w.

Found Something.

The New York World, the leading
democratic authority of the country
has found something that 1.-THE demo-
cratic party has right to be proud
Of" 1t isn't referring to the fact
that the nation has Iost a billion
dollars year by its incompetency; it
isn't the glory the administration
has achieved in its attempt to over
throw friendly republican govern
ment in Hawaii and substitute pro-
fligate savage on tinsel throne with
an ak in hand to chop off the heads of
intelligent people: it isn't the fact
that they propose to take $50,000,0 900
from the people for the benefit of the
sugar trust. No, it is much more
judicious piece of business. 1t is this:
1.-The pensions appropriation bill re-
ported to the house is nearly $15,000,-
900 less than last year. This is a
record the democratic party can well
afford TO be proud Of" Well, may be,
if you can fool the old soldier and his
friends to vote with the South again.
Did Gen. ROsser. talking to the South
and the democracy on Memorial Day
express the sentiment of his audience
when he said: THE men who over
ran us remind me of the locusts which
are now infesting portions of the
South. They couldn't whip rs, but
they devoured our substance. The
army that deyoured US was an army
of substitutes. We killed all the sub
stitutes. The men whom they repre-
sented staid at home and made
money and now draw pensions. Pen
sions are a fraud" and he was ap
plauded to the echo. Now let the
democratic party reduce pensions to
the amount of SIS, 200, 900 year for a
few years and the party will have 9
record that they will be so proud Of
they will be too proud To live.

Rev. Myron Reed an Avowed Anarchist.
Last Sunday Rev. Myron Reed de-
liyered an address TO large as
semblage of strikers in Denver. He
declared that he was an anarchist,
and with blasphemOus effrOntery said
Jesus Christ was an anarchist" He
further said: Il have been criticised
for saying that any man had the right
to take his labor away from his en-
ployer, but had not the right to inter-
fere with any other man for taking
his place. | now say that he has a
right 10 interfere"
What is the trouble with this scat
terbrained blatherskite? He is de-
voured by an overweening ambition
for Office. He ran for congress in Col
orada and the decent element being
in the majority ii sat down so heavy
on the reverend gentleman that he
has been squirming ever since. He
has fallen into the slough of the dema-
gogue, and what a fall was there, my
countrymenr'
The demagogue seeks by every and
all means for votes, he will sell his
soul, he will blaspheme the name of
the One only sinless and all loving, he
will walk on his belly and eat dirt
all the days of his life" and ''glory in
his shame" to get an office, and what
is more TO the credit of the public is,
he seldom gets it.

This statement was made out on
Sunday in the presence of his wifi
and four children, while trying TO
keep warm before an empty CRATE
with the thermometer 10 degrees
below zero. There was no coal in
the house, nothing to eat, no money
and no credit outside.
Who foots the bills for this
business? The landlord who loses
his rent, the baker, the butcher, and
the grocer, the charitable persons
who pity the children and keep
them from starving and the tax
payers who support the jails, the
prisons, the hospitals and the aims
houses where such folks fetch up at
last.
Who makes the money? The
saloonkeeper, who is privileged to
all the land with poverty, wretched-
ness, nakedness, crime, disease and
death, being authorized and licensed
so to do by the sovereign people.
Are you one of the sovereign people?
People who vote for license ought
not to pray, LEAD us not into
temptation" They have tempted
men to leave honorable business for
liquor selling, because the latter is
more profitable and easier. One
such man who had given up gram
business boosted that be took in
$500 on his opening night.
Under the license system the
saloonkeeper hunts up the drinker.
Under prohibition the drinker hunts
up the saloonkeeper. When pro
hibition comes, the drinker will find
the front door of the saloon closed,
the back door tightly locked, and
the saloonkeeper out in the garden
hoeing potatoes.
Who is responsible for the license
ofthis alluring poison to the people?
Voter, are you involved in this
terrible curse of the liquor traffic
and all the horrors that flow from
the liberation? "Nhat answerl'-

BUFFALO. N. Y, May 27.-The north
ern part of the city. known as Kensing-
ton, Is all agog with the story of the
elopement of pretty Nellie Shrively and
the exciting pursuit made by her broth
ca. Rev. William Shrively, the pastor
OF the Kensington M. E. church.
Miss Shrive!y lived with her brother
until yesterday. She was IN love
with q yonng carpenter named Bert
Sayles. but her brother disapproved of
the match, andwhen he found the lovers
meeting clandestinely ne put a close
watch OIL Nellie. Last night he looked
out Of his study window. where he was
preparing his sermon for today. and saw
the couple making their way rapidly
up the street in the rain. The
parson was only partly attired. He
opened the window and shouted to his
sister to comeback. Instead Nellie
and Bert started across fields, through
the deep grass, the preacher after, with
out a hat, coat or vest. lie
overlook the couple half a mile
from the house. Young Sayles
grappled with him. threw him down
and sat OH him. crying: run, Nellie
run" Nellie did run and took refuge
IN the house of j. j. Warren. Then
Sayles released the preacher and ran.
lie and Nellie went into the garnet of
the Warren house, but when Rev.
Mr.. Shrlvely arrived Mr.. Warren
ordered them out. Sayles refused
to 20, but was forced to do so by
two policemen. leaving Nellie behind.
Then Mr.. Shrively took his sister by
force and put her into Warren's buggy,
which stood in front of the house, aud
made sh for his home. Sayles ran
along behind the carriage, and, as the
roads were muddy, managed to keep
up with the horses. When the buggy
drew up in front of the house
Nellie ju mped out and ran into the
house and slammed aud locked the
door behind her, barring out her broth
er. Then she ian to the rear door and
passed out into the stable. Her brother
did not discover her escape until
he had searched the whole house. In
the meantime Sayles had joined the
girl, and they ran all the way to his
brothers. house OH Hill street, where
they were married at IL o'clock last
night by Rev. James Barrick. pastor
OF the Church of the Good Shop
herd, who is not on the
most friendly terms with MIR. Shrively.
MIR. Shriyely preached to the largest
congregation he had ever known at the
Kensington church today, for the story
had spread. and there was much curios-
ity to see how he looked after his long
chase of the night before.
