WILL REED RETIRE?
There Seems to Re Ample Authority For
 Thinking Sc.

Notwithstanding the denial of the speaker friends, there is excellent au thority for the statement that Mir. Reed is being strongly urged to retire from public life at the close of this term. He will then have served 20 consecutive years, during four of which he has fill ed the office of speaker, Q dignity to which he would again be elevated were he member of the next house In re- t1rlng from a public career which has been conspicuously brilliant the speaker would consult largely his own inclina- tions and particularly those of his fam fly, who have since the Fifty-frst con- gress urged him to withdraw from poIi- tics and devote the remainder of his days to the practice of law. He has not positively decided that he will do so, but there is Q strong expectation that this will be his final determination.
 It is believed that Mr. Reed will for mally announce his intention not to be again candidate for congress after the meeting of the Republican national con- yention next month The congressional elections occur i'll Maine ill the middle of September. and the conventions are usually held about 30 days previously. It is understood that MT. Reed will make public his intentions ill ample time for the aspiring politicians ill his district to begin their fight for the sue cession. It is doubted if he retire from congress that he will locate again in Portland. lie has influential political and business friends in New York who believe that that city presents greater inducements for man of his ability than provincial town like the Maine metropolis One of these friends, who urged him four years ago to begin the practice of law in New York city, has since told him that, had he done so, enough business would have been thrown in his way to enable him to earn during the interim fully $500, 900.
 It is also said ill this connection that the reports which couple Mir. Reeds name with the secretaryship of state under the next administration are not well founded MT Reed g purpose in resuming the practice of law would be to accumulate sufficient means to ren- der him independent But for this in- dueement he would remain in the house, where he has been for many years q brilliant party leader-an honor which he would not relinquish even for the glittering rewards of q premiership = Washington Post

Senator relIer's Mothers Butter.

Senator Teller is one of that numer- ous class of men who are peculiarly fond of mothers cooking. . It happens that the senator's mother lives with him on his Colorado ranch and always superintends the butter making. The senator's wife is an excellent house keeper, but sometimes things will gc wrong i'll the kitchen, and on such occa- sions, it is said, Mrs. Teller passes the yellow dairy product to her husband and says brightly

TOOK HER ON TRIAL.
This Unique Way of Marrying Almost Re suited In Tragedy.


 William Timerson, d young man from MartvilIe, Gayuga county, created much excitement at Woleott, N Y., lately.
 Nearly three months ago he became acquainted with Emma Price, the old est daughter of John Price, and soon after agreed to marry her, provided he might take her on trial for few months, or until May 1, he supporting her parents i'll the meantime. She was agreeable, and the authorities did not interfere All went well until about ten days ago, when Timerson kicked Price and his wife cut of doors, locked Emma i'll and went away. She escaped, bor= rowed Allen Moore's horse and wagon and got what she said were her things. Timerson returned this week, and, after vainly trying to secure her arrest, gave her parents a second beating Then he drew a revolver and chased Moore down the street for loaning the rig. The latter armed ill turn, but bystanders in- terfered.
 Last night Emma s brother thrashed the bad man just as the police began to think of moving. His present where abouts Is unknown. New York Re corder

Baltimore Man Jailed For Being saucy
 to His Wifs.
 How the new woman and the new man get along together in practical life was illustrated ill case before Police Justice Grammar of Baltimore the other day. Mrs. Ida Kuhn, good looking woman, had her husband arrested on the charge of abusing her.
 Mrs Kuhn, who is collar maker. testified that she had supported herself and her family for II years. The hus- band said that while his wife worked at the factory he attended to the chil- dren, dressed and sent them to school and performed the other household du- ties All he wanted was little spend ing money OH Saturday night, and 1t was the argument about this that led to his arrest Mrs Kuhn said she could get girl to dc the work her husband did for $1. 35 q week, and she would not have to stand any impertinence.
 Justice Grammar fined Kuhn $1 and costs, and as his wife would not pay up he had to go to jail in default. -Chiea- go Times Herald.

Strikes are on the decrease Ill thls country. The people are seeing that they do not pay.

VINO make up this great republic, the
opportunity to labor means more than
to all the world besides. 1t means the
DEVELOPMENT OF resources great beyond
the comprehension OF any mortal and the
the glories of the Arabian Nights" are
but the glitter OF the pawnshop, and To
which the sheen OF all the jewels of thin
earth are but the CLEAN of the glow
worms in the pallor of the dawn"
Continuing in this strain, IL speaker
| said: Man no longer shuns labor as
his deadliest foe, but welcomes 1t as his
dearest friend. Nations no longer
dream of riches as the spoils of war. but
rs the fruits of human energy directed
bv wise laws and encouraged by peace
and good will. Battlcmcnts and forts
and castles. armies and navies, are Gay
DIV day less and less the engines of
slaughter. and moro and more the guar
antce of peace with honor. What the
world longs for now is not the pagean-
try and devastation of war for the aE-
Grandizcment of the few. but the full
utilization OF all human energy for the
benefit OF all mankind"
1t is noteworthy that Mr.. Reed lad
nothing to say of the money issue,
his whole thoughts were given to the
question Of labor. which IL of Il sudden
have become dearunto the heart of The
Maine statesman. But Mr.. Reed is
man Of broad ideas, and he wants
everything done for the good of man
kind. a great man is Reed TO be sue.

THEY'LL TAKE BACK SEATS.

In his speech delivered in New
York Thursday night. Chauncey Dcpew
made certain remarks about boiling
Democrats which that faction should
read with edification. Mr. Depcw,
among other things said:

not TO expect that the Republican party
VIII reorSanze itself because the Dem

therefore, to be asked to do anything;

In other words. the Republicans will

BRYAN AND HILL.

The New York World evidently does
not like the idea Of candidate Bryan be-
Ing entertained at "Woolferts Roost" by
David B. Hill and attempts to belittle
the meeting In this wise:
The meeting at Woolfert's Roost was
paHtlcuiarly interesting. No one to have
observed 1t would have dreamed that
the two. each a determined champion
or principles Numerically opposed 10
Ihose or the other. had fought each other
So,h.Isrly out a Few weeks ago at 1.-THE
chicago convention. Unless both Bryan
and Hill wore inpenetra BILE masks they
were right glad to see each other and
truly sorry when the parting came"
If the World would look at things
fairly. as 1t ought to. it would under
stand that Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Bryan were
members Of the same national conven-
tfon and that both were honor bound by
its results.
What Mr.. Hill had to say he said in
tie convention-he endeavored to have
his views adopted, but because he did
not succeed he Is too much OF a man to
suk.
Mr.. Hill entertained Mr. Bryan because
he chose to do SO, and because it was
right. When the Chicago convention
adjourned Mr.. Hills opposition to Mr..
Bryan ceased, and If all Democrats would
pursue the same course the party and
country would be the better for it. The
New York World need not be told that
this applies to 1t. since II Is so swift in
arriving al conclusions.

WHY I LIVE.

live for those who love ME.
Whose hearts are kind and true.
For the Heaven that smiles above me
And waits my spirit. too;
For all human ties that bind me.
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me
And the good that ! can do.
/ live to learn their story.
Who've suffered for my sake.
To emoulate their glory
And follow In their wake.
Bards, patriots. martyrs, sages,
The noble OF all ages.
Whose deeds crown history's pages
And times great volume make.
1 live to hail that season
BY gifted minds foretold.
When man shall live by reason
And not alone for gold.
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted.
The whole world shall be lighted
AS Eden was Of old.
I live TO hold communion
With all that is divine,
To feel that there Is union
'Twixt natures heart and mine
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields OF fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction
Fulfilling Gods design.
I live for those who love me.
For those who know me true
For the Heaven that smiles above me
And waits my spirit. too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrongs that need resistance
For the future in the distance,
And the good that / can do.
