Wooden Mills.

Some three years ago the good demo-
cratic fraternity were chuckling in their
sleeves and shaking out the folds of their
garments with eyes sparkling for tariff
reform, saying eve will have free wool,
then we will put an end to this shoddy
business we will walk up and down the
land and across our broad acres with pure
wool garments on Let US now turn on
the X rays and take a look at the prophets.
| heard one Of them say, three months ago,
that ''he had all the tariff reform he
wanted, it had taken more than $4,000 out
Of him already"
Pat claims Ireland as bis fatherland.
Shoddy can claim England in the same
way. Since the administration let down
the bars and opened the gates for free
trade, England has sent in some 10 to 10
times more shoddy than ever before, and
the shoddy mills Of this country have
doubled their energies. The wooden man
ufacturers Of this country resorted to cheap
raw material in order to keep them from
going down through the whirlpool of ruin,
but even with that they are not going to
| be able to stem the tide Occasionally we
| find mill that is successful, striking some
styles that will sell. Such cases are caught
up by the democratic papers and harped
upon fran Dan to Beersheba, and the
people who are so narrow they will read
only one side, pinning their faith on one
mans sleeve-such people are enjoying a
happy delusion, a condition that soon is
going to land them on the shores of dis
appointment.
There were 1000, 143 pounds of mems
wear, 80, 143, 1871 pounds Of dress goods
imported in 1895, that was LAG 12 pc,
cent of the former, 40 per cent of the lat
ter increase over what was sent into the
country in 1892; that, of course, mean:
Just SO much less for our mills to manufac
ture. Just so much more gold to 90 ou
Of the country.
The plain facts of the case, regardless
Of what the newspapers may say, art
these Nearly one half of the woolel
looms in this country are idle to-day, will
a dark future before them; like Micawber
they ''are waiting for something to turf
up Capital and labor are both interested
in this matter; they are hoping that in on
year from now the country will be in shap
to protect them and bring back the bust
ness to this country that they are now hav
ing done in England, but should this Prov
true, as it no doubt will, we shall begin tn,
year 1897 with glutted market. TIL
foreign looms are rushing, they are going
to make hay while the sun shines, ane

to be crammed full before the gates ar

for the present. This Of course is goin
to reduce the market that the tiller of tn
soil now has, which is already too narrow
but what ''can't be cured must b

Waits the Ante-nuptial Agreement Set Aside.

Society in Kenwood, one Of Chicago's
fashionable residence districts, is greatly
interested in suit instituted by Mrs.
Peter McGeoch, to have the will of her
late husband set aside, and to recover one
third interest in the s ,000,000 estate left
by the late noted Milwaukee Spectator.
She was divorced from her first husband,
the wealthy Mr.. Libbey OF Boston. 1t will
be remembered that Peter McGeoch com
mtted suicide some months ago and the
cause of his action was alleged to have been
unfortunate speculations and serious reduc-
ton of his fortune. At one time be was a
business partner of Phil Armour and of the
Cudahys, and was considered almost as
hard headed, shrewd and calculating a
man as B. P. Hutchinson, the unique sold
Hutch" Of the Chicago Board of Trade.
Hence, his suicide was startling surprise
to his friends. Mrs. McGeoch's suit adds
another sensational chapter Is heF late hus-
bands remarkable career. IN her bill of
complaint Mrs McGeoch ASKS that an ante
nuptial agreement to take piece Of land
in Wisconsin valued at 1925, 900 and life
insurance policy for $25, 0o0in lieu Of her
dover rights, be set aside and she be given
her one-third portion of the $1,000,0o0
estate. The heirs are Arthur McGeoch,
Clara M. McGeoch, Alma McGeoch and
Catherine McGeoch Flint, all children of
the first marriage. About one-half Of the
social set of Kenwood side with Mrs. Nc
Geoch and the other half with the children
of Mr.. McGeoch.- Boston Post.

Y. NJ. c. A. Quarterly Meeting.

The regular quarterly meeting of the
Y. M. c.. A. was held in the rooms Of
the Association Monday evening. The
amended constitution was adopted, and
the regular committee reports given. The
Association will be incorporated under the
laws of Vermont and to that end the fol-
lowing were elected trustees: f. P. Ball.
one year. j. 0. Spring, two years, and
John II. Williams, three years.
After adjournment an impromptu musical
program was rendered. Piano solos were
given by A. r. Smith, Harry Martin, and
Selah Hartman, Jr., and duet by Smith
and Hartman.
The various reports showed healthy
growth and improvement in all departments
of the association. The report Of the edu-
cational committee prepared by its chair
man, L. S. Hayes, was Of particular inter-
est. We give few extracts.
We feel we have been able to reach, and
interest, young men in many cases who
would have spent the time in a manner far
less beneficial to them, and they are spend
ing their spare time in such manner as 10
be lasting benefit to them. The three
classes, stenography, mechanical drawing,
penmanship, which were started in Decem-
Der, have each been made a success in
every respect.
| STENoGRApHY.- This class in the hands
of Frank G. Day is doing good work and
showing more than average progress in a
study which is hard to master unless the
pupil has special aptitude for it. Mr.. Day
has succeeded in holding the interest il
the work, and has carried larger number
of his pupils by the point where so many
get discouraged and drop out than is the
experience OF many teachers. The whole
number of young men who started was Il
OF these six fell out in the first half, foul
coming but once, one twice and one three
times. The rest remain and are taking {
large degree of interest in the work.
MECHANICAL DRAwING.-Of this Wal
lace White is teacher. Whole number o
scholars enrolled, 16, of which three
dropped out during the first three lessons
Average attendance IL Is. AT the first
third, and fourth lessons the high waite
mark of attendance was the same, IL
Mr.. White is taking large interest in tn,
advancement of his class, and they are do
ing superb work. We are especially for
tunate in being able to have this class,
competent teacher being impossible to &c
in many localities, at a price which can b.
afforded Mr.. White has visited a mum
Der of other Associations since he begal
his work here, and inquired as to the worl
being done in his line. He finds in tn
city of Buffalo their class this year mum
bers but IS, in Rutland IL, and at Keen
they have as yet been unable to organic

: Mr.. White and F. G. Day for their unsell
ish work in behalf of their classes, as the
freely donate to the Association thel
entire teaching services.

class are 10 names, and the average attend
ance is about eight. 1t is under the charg

Passed Expectation.

The presentation OF the original musical
comedy, Santiicmme, or The New Woman,
in st. Peters hall in North Walpole Mon
day evening was merited success, The
hall was filled to its capacity and the enter
tainment was enjoyed and well spoken Of
by all present. Great interest attached to
the fact that the play, comic opera, was
written by N. d. Clarke, Bellows Falls
boy, and that the cast comprised local
talent almost wholly. In arranging this
entertainment Mr. Clarke exhibited must
cal talent of considerable merit and the
cast included some real artists.
The comedy consisted Of three acts and
took some over two. hours in rendering.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented Il great many valuable
things. They were the first to make
br0oms by machinery; the first to put
seeds In little packages; the first to
manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with method of
curing dyspepsia by resting the stom-
ach. Their remedy is known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t supplies
food In an artiticially digested form
and at the same time aids the diges-
tion OF other foods in the stomach.
In ohter words, by the use of the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a dyspeptic
virtually gets along without the use
of his stomach until 1t is restored to
its natural strength and vigor. A
single 10 cent bottle will oft-times
give marked relief. Get bottle from
your druggist and try It.
