Fall River and Newport and Bris [ There was no regular craft goine

 Other small schooners were added fra time to time until 1927, when the stea q CT Hancock was put on by Col. Bordei company. Other steamers were add from time to time by the company, b z even these did not satisfy the deman of the place as Col Borden saw the1 He wanted Fall River to be the chi point in a line between New York an Boston. He built several lines of raj way so as to tap existing lines, bu-. these did not answer his purpose. S~ he organized the Cape Cod Railroa company and built road from Middles borough down to the cape as a feeder t. his Fall River route. Meantime, to con< meet his railroad that ran Bostonwart with New York, he built, in partnership with his brother, Jefferson Borden, the Pay State, very fine steamboat for those days. to run between New York and Fali River. The next year he added the Empire State, and then the Metrop- olis; and the well-known Fall River line of steamers was established. It is re- lated that the earnings of the Bay State were six per cent. month, and that the other two boats were entirely paid for out of the profits of the line.
 His sons took up the work where he left it, and they have proved to be ca pable men. But one of his sons, the youngest, Matthew c. D. Borden has in- herited, in even greater degree, his fathers remarkable capacity for af- fairs; and it is said by those who re- member the coloneps faculty for throwing off the cares which oppress ordinary men that the son greatly re- sembles his father.

From college he went into the countingrooms, in New York, of Low, Hartman &5 Co, the selling agents of the American printing works, one of the properties of the Iron Works com pany. Then when the agency was changed he went with Wright, Bliss & Fabyan. the predecessors of the well-known firm of Bliss, Fabyan 6 Go. of to-day. Shortly after his ia ther's death he bought out the other in terests in the American Print Works company, and gradually absorbed the shares of the Iron Works company.

the indomitable spirit of Col. Borden conquered diversity, and on each oc- easion the mills were rebuilt. But early in the history of the company the in corporators began to take advantage of the powers granted to them by the legislature in 1843. The company be- came an owner in the Watuppa Reser- voir company, in the Troy cotton and woolen manufactory, in the Fall River manufaetory, in the Annawan mill, in the American print works, in the Meta comet mil, in the Fall River railroad, in the Bay State steamboat line, in the Fall River gas works, and so on and so on.
 From the time that manufacturing began in Fall River there was for many years considerable embarrassment in transportation facilities, and it was difficult and expensive to get the raw materials, as well as to send to market the finished products In the colonial era one three-masted vessel which had been engaged in foreign trade together with fer small sloops sailed between

There the seat of government remained until Mohammed II. conquered Constantino- pie in 1453, and made it the capital of the Turkish empire, under the name of Stamboul. In 1460 the same 'spad- ishah"-this is the Turkish title for sul- tan-conquered Greece. Soleiman IL, who reigned from 1519 to 1866, brought the empire to the height of its glory. He captured half of Hungary, besieged Vienna, the capital of Austria, and formed plans for subjugating the whole occident. lie was opposed by the flower of European ehiyalry, and returned to Gonstantinople. After Soleiman's death Turkeys position was almost ina- pregnable, but near the close of the 18th century the fabric began to totter.

 ne reet with favor anywhere. The fact
 If the matter is, neither Russia nor England desires the establishment or semi-independent governments, both wishing to secure possession of Con stantinople and the Bosphorus.
 England might be induced to acqui- esce in Russia's grab game, provided she could secure the Turkish islands in the archipelago and one or two provinces in Asia Minor. In the event of such settlement Austria would claim Montenegro and Scutari, the pos session of which provinces would dl- vide the control of the Adriatic sea be- tween Italy and herself. Discussion about Macedonia might be avoided by adding it to the kingdom of Greece, to which it really belongs. Germany would not interfere with such an ar rangement, provided the kingdom of Roumania, which is under its special protection, would be permitted to re- main intact. Servia, at present an in- dependent kingdom, would continue to exist-a buffer state between Austria and Bulgaria. The latter principality would remain independent nominally, although it is, even now, virtually Russian province. Prince Ferdinand, the cowardly clown who has for some years been posing as the ruler of Bull garia, would be busted sans ceremony and his place filled by Prince Charles of Denmark, who is soon to marry Princess Maud of Wales. East Rou- melia, now semi-independent Turkish would be absorbed by Russia.

did not make cotton cloths, but merely printed them. Mr. Borden did not think the other manufacturers treated him fairly; so in 1889 he built a great mill and made the cloth which he after wards dyed. In 1892 he built a second mill and made the cloth which he after day the fourth mill, larger and more complete than any of the others, was finished
 Three thousand five hundred hands are employed and 1000 bales of cotton used in week, and in that time 5O,- 900 pieces of cotton cloth are turned out.
 Last spring, when wages were very low and a cloud of depression hung over Fall River, MT. Borden ordered that the wages in his mills should be increased. The other mills had to fol- low his example, and the relief was inn mediate. He did not increase the wages as philanthropist, but as business man who saw that the business de- pression was over and there would be an instant revival all over the country. He followed this order by commanding that a new mill be built. When this was finished and the engine was started with simple ceremonies, as thank offering for his own prosperity and as an earnest of his interest in his native place he gave $100,00O to the charities of the town. Associated with him now is his son, Bertram H. Borden, who is of the ninth generation of the Bor- dens of Fall River.

A Child in a Bears Embrace

Mr.. Charles A. Baker, living in Bal
timore county, near the Relay House,
went to Barnum's circus in Baltimore
last week with his wife and little girl,
aged six and a-half years. In the
menagerie tent the little girl dropped
ball which she carried, and it rolled
into the inclosure occupied by the bears.
She quickly darted after it. A large
bear attacked her and clasped her with
his claws. Mr.. James S. Mcdonald,
of No. $40 West Lexington street, was
standing near, and realizing the child's
peril, leaped into the Enclosure and
dragged the little one away from the
beast. AS he did so the bear attacked
him, tearing his trousers with its claws.
His escape without injury was due to
his remarkable quickness of action.
The child's parents, whose attention
had been attracted in another direc-
ton at the moment of the little ones
sudden disappearance from their side,
scarcely realized her peril when their
child was restored to them. Her face
was cut and scratched from the fore
head to the chin and her nose split
open by the bears claws. a physi-
clan in the tent sewed up the wounds.
The crowd pressed around Mr.. Melon
aid, who modestly said he had only
done his duty and had thought of his
little one at home when he saw the
child's peril.-.SVn.

Losses BY Weeds.

The direct loss in crops, the damage
to machinery and stock and the de-
crease in the value of land due to
weeds in this country amount to $10,-
100000 year, according to the esti-
mate of Botanist F. V. Coville, of the
Agricultural Department. The state
ment is made in bulletin of the de-
partment, which says the loss is sus-
tanned almost wholly by the farmers.
The bulletin embodies a number Of i'm
portant directions for weed eradication
and urges that these methods be IN
corporated in our system of practical
farming. During last year the ordl-
nary farm crops were checked in their
growth by the extreme drought, and,
with the unusual amount of weeds,
the official investigations were en-
larged.
None of the processes by which seed
production may be prevented or root
stocks killed are regarded as imprac-
ticable, but in many cases weed exter-
mination is impossible and their reduc-
ton to state of comparative harm
lessness is all that can be looked for
The report urges all landowners to be
on the watch for new plants and learn
their character, if possible, before they
become established and assert them
selves as aggressive weeds on farms.
This is practically the only possible
method of complete determination,
unless public sentiment is aroused to
more vigorous and universal destruc-
ton of weeds. Any species, accord
ing to the bulletin, can be subdued
and controlled within the limits of an
ordinary farm, and unless the land Is
low from other causes, this work can
be proftably undertaken.
Prevention of seed production in
cases of ANNALS will gradually reduce
the quantity of weeds and prevent
further spreading. This Is accom-
plished in cultivated fields by burning
over to destroy as many as possible OF
the seeds on the surface and successive
blowing is required. Broken land
should not be permitted to remain idle
and moving or cutting off of the main
stems of weeds is deprecated as multi
plying the stalks, but cutting the roots
below the crown usually kills them.
Destruction of terrenial seeds is best
procured by prevention of seed pro-
duction and by killing the under
ground portion.
