Ship Launching in Japan.

The Japanese apply one Of their many
pretty ways" to the launching Of
ships. They use no wine. They hang
over the ships prov large pasteboard
cage full Of birds, and the moment the
ship is afioat a man pulls q string, the
cage opens and the birds fly away,
making the air alive with music and
the whirr Of wings. The idea is that
the birds welcome the ship as she be-
gins her career as thing Of life.

KANSAS COMING TO HER SENSES.

A correspondent, writing from the
state of Kansas, has this to say con-
corning the passing of populism in
that great state:
THE people of this state are coming
round to their senses. | am aware there
is much of trickery, mismanagement of
public affairs in all practical politics; but
the incompetency and rascality of our
late reform party in this state out Herods
Herod Every department OF state gov
eminent and administration has been
reeking in corruption. know this is
strong language and do not use it as
partisan, but as citizen, and what | say
can be proven by populist witnesses.
But we have gem republican governor
and state officers and good republican
house (the old pop" senate holds over),
and we have Just elected good clean re-
publican to the United States Senate in
place OF democrat who got down in the
dust to secure his election from pop"
legislature. Two years hence that pigmy
specimen OF stupendous asininity, Pfefer,
will be replaced by good republican,
and in the next congress all our represen-
tatives, save one will be republican and
men we need not be ashamed of. So Won
see we are improvingt and looking for
better times.

LONE TOUCH OF NATURE MAKES
THE WHOLE WORLD KIN"

Nothing has better illustrated this
proverb lately than the interest the
whole civilized world has taken in
the steamer La Gascogne, which
reached New York harbor at mid
night Monday after being overdue
about week. The news Of the ar
rival OF the French liner was at once
sent to all the hotels in New York,
then to all the cities of the United
States and after that to all the prin-
cipal cities of Europe. While Presi-
dent Cleveland read the message in
the White House a similar message
was being read to President Faure of
France in a Paris theatre. People
who had never heard of the big
steamer or knew no one of its passen
gers or crew read the papers for
week to find some news of her where
abouts, and when they finally read
that she had reached New York they
were more than pleased. The scene
at the company's office in New York
when the first news came is almost
indescribable. The agent of the COM
pany was nearly wild with joy,
while one of the assistants, an old
grey-haired man, wept like child for
long time. Nothing else was dis
cussed at the hotels and clubs that
night but La Gascogne's arrival, and
similar demonstrations were going
on at the same time in Paris and
in other European cities. The
steamer met with several accidents to
her machinery and was obliged to
steam slowly across the ocean, and in
her IL days trip through stormy
seas not single ship was sighted.

THE TOWN LIBRARY =

AS the date for the March meeting
approaches the voters of the smaller
towns will do well to remember that
under the new law for free libraries
they can start library in their own
town with very little effort or ex-
pense. Any town in the state by ac-
cepting the 500 worth of books from
the state, and binding themselves to
perform the obligation thus under
taken for the care and future main
tenance Of the libraries started can
have library.
Only SIS is required annually by
the law in towns whose grand list is
less than $2500, $25 if less than
$4,000, and $50 if $4,000 or up.
ward Of that amount.
Every town in this county ought
to start library at the March meet
ing and begin an educational institu-
ton that will advance in its growth
as the town advances in prosperity.
New Hampshire was the first state
to pass free library bill and there
are scores of small towns in that
state now who have fine libraries
started. After the library is once
started the growth is an easy matter.
Friends will contribute books, enter
tainments will be given to raise
money to buy books, and by and by
some rich native OF the town in a
distant city will bequeath a sum to
permanently endow the institution.
BY inserting an article in the warn
ing for the town meeting this matter
may be brought for discussion and
action will then be taken. No town
should neglect this golden opportun.
lty for establishing a library.

THE DEATH OF EMIN PASHA.

The first authentic account of the
death of Emin Pasha appears in the
February Century and is a valuable
contribution to African history. He
was murdered on Oct. 20, 1892, at
Kinena, small village about 100
miles from Stanley Falls. Two Arabs
killed him at the command of a petty
Arab chief, who wanted to show his
power in that community by having
the white man put to death. Emin
Pasha was great explorer and his
life was full of romance and adven-
ture, but the very men in whom he
had put his trust betrayed him and
brutally slew him.

Recapture of Lathe.
Constable Ben Lauren of Troy, cap
tured Will Lathe, the reputed assassin,
who escaped from Newport jail, near
Buck & Stevens mill, in Troy last Fri
day. Lathe has been lurking about there
ever since he made his escape, stopping
day or night with friends or relatives,
who have helped to conceal him. The
sheriff had known for several DAYS that
he was thereabouts and had been watch
ing an opportunity to fix his hiding place
on certain day. On the day of the cap
ture he passed the house where he sup
posed he might be and caught a glimpse
OF him through the window. He passed
on and returned later with two men to
assist him, one of whom was concealed in
the sleigh, another approaching the
housefrom an obscure direction. Lauren
called on pretense of collecting a tax.
The man denied that Lathe was in his
house, but the officer suggested that the
concealment of criminal would be dan
gerous amusement, when he pointed to
the chamber. Lauren called in his assis-
tants and went upstairs where he found
Lathe secluded and jumped upon him so
suddenly that he could not use loaded
revolver or knife he had on his person.
He was taken back to Jail and tits hoped
he will not make his escape again. Alter
breaking Jail he went to West Derby,
where he had formerly boarded, claimed
he was out on bail, got his valise and
some clothes, re-crossing the lake and
making his way to No. Troy that night.
He states that it took him two nights to
saw off the bar which he broke out when
he got out of his cell.
The church at Westmore invited the
neighboring churches to unite with it in
a series of fellowship meetings in it's new
house of worship. These meetings began
on Tuesday, at 2 O'Clock and continued
through Wednesday evening. Refresh
ments were served at the vestry of the
church between afternoon and evening
services, so that those coming from dis
tance did not have to leave the church
for their meals, The meetings were both
interesting and instructive.
