GENERAL BELIEF THAT
BETTER INES ARE
NEAR.

The Continued Advance in Wheat
and the Rise in Cotton Gives En-
couragement.
New York, Oct. 2.-R. G..
Dun & Co. will say tomorrow in
their weekly review of trade: The
complete report of failures for
the quarter, which ended with
Wednesday, shows an increase
which would be surprising if po-
litical causes were not obvious.
In number six and ii half per cent.
less than in the panic quarter of
1898, failures for the quarter
show liabilities II. l per cent. less,
amounting to S73, 2o5, $40, against
$97, s66, $50 in the previous half
year.
The continued advance in wheat
may prove of the utmost import
ance. 1t has been 1. II cents for
the week, and ten cents since
September I'd. and is mainly due
to short crops abroad and unusual
foreign demand.
Cotton has weakened after its
sudden rise because the demand
for goods has relapsed into hand
to- mouth buying, and print cloths
are lower, 25 per cent. Some in
jury has been done by recent
storms, but the market seems
lot now in the humor to mag>
Nifty them.
Reviving confidence is felt in
the stock market, which has
slo WY reached an average of -79
cents a. share for railways,

low those OF 1892. There are

AS YOU LIKE IT.

Selections by the Editor for Many Read
ers of Many Minds, But With a
Moral For All.
Earnestness alone makes life
eternity.
All true work is sacred; in all
true work, were it but true hand
labor, there is something of di-
vineness. Labor, wide as. the
earth, mas its summit in Heaven.
Remember now and alway that
life is no idle dream, buta solemn
reality, based upon eternity, and
encompassed by eternity. Find
out your task; stand to it; the
night cometh when no man can
work.
Man, symbol of eternity, i'm
prisoned into time-it is not thy
works, which are mortal, infin-
itely little, and the greatest no
greater than the least, but only
the spirit thou workest in, that
can have worth or continuance.
We have noticed that nine out of
every ten people who drive a
horse, run the animal down hill:
also,, that the same number of
drivers out of ten invariably whip
a horse when it gets frightened i.
Good horsemen never do either
As for the last mentioned case, a
driver has but to take the matter
to himself to decide whether it is
the correct way to handle a horse.
At the moment he himself were
terribly frightened would he want
to be simultaneously beaten? An
intelligent horse is like human
being to a greater extent than is
realized, and he should be kindly
talked to more and whipped less.
The powers for evil in this
world seem to he more potent
than the powers for good. There
is constant and mighty effort
going on to keep humanity in
check and make it better. Why
fshould this have to be? 1t seems
to be given up that evil is easier
to fall into than good, and the
young are continually being
warned against life's dangers ano
pitfalls as though their natural
instincts and impulses for good
We're not sufficiently invulnerablt
against the encroachments of evil.
1t is strange that the lesson Of {
good life, and the peace and hap
piness that attend it, isn't {
stronger lesson than it is
strange that evil can appear to {
person in more alluring guist
than goodness wears.
In the latter part of 1864.
President Lincoln, writing to his
friend Elkins in Illinois, said
eyes, we may all congratulate
ourselves that this cruel war il
nearing it's close. It has cost /;
vast amount of treasure and blood.
The best blood of the flower o1
American youth has been freely
offered upon our country's altar
that the nation might live. Il
has been, indeed,a a trying hour fol
the republic; but | see in the near
future crisis approaching that
unnerves me and causes me te
tremble for the safety of my
country. As a result of the wal
corporations have been enthroned,
and an era of corruption in high
places will follow, and the money
power of the country will en-
deavor-to prolong its reign by
working upon the prejudices o
the people until all the wealth il
aggregated in a few hands, ano
the republic is destroyed. | feel a
this moment more anxiety for tn
safety of my country than eve
before, even in the midst of war
God grant that my suspicious ma,
prove groundless. -

RENTS AND TENANTS.
Discussed by the Associated Charitie
Yesterday.

AT the monthly meeting of the Ass oc:-
ated Charities held yesterday afternoon,
there was very good attendant. Presi :
dent Chase in the chair.
After the usual business was transact
ed. the subject of "Rents and Tenants"
was discussed by Messrs Chase, George
H. Lord, Alfred Woodman, Rev. Mr..
Phelan and Mrs. Phelan, DR.. Pudor and
others. The general drift of the talk was
| to the effect that there were many rents
in different localities whose sanitary
condition was not what it ought to be-
these rents are Of course those that are
taken by the poorer people, and it was
e 1t that the landlords ought to put them
into proper sanitary condition. On
the other hand there were cases quoted
of men occupying houses and not paying
rent. who deliberately left jobs that were
giving them from So to $40 week and
still occupy their rents, depending on
the beneyolence Of the owner to let them
remain.
committee was appointed to inyesti-
gate the condition of the cbeap te me-
nents in this city and report at a future
meeting.

CURIOUS WILL CASE.
Jas. Sealey of Windham Sought to Break
His Mothers viii, and Secure One
Third of the Value of His Own Note-It
Looks a Little Selfish in James.

In the Probate Court, before Judge
Peabody yesterday, the will of the late
Julia P. Crockett of North Windham
came up for probate on petition of George
II. Freeman of Gray, the executor named
therein. VIM. K. Neal, Esq.,, appeared
In opposition to the probate of the will,
representing James W. Seeley. son of the
late Mrs. Crockett, who wished to break
the will. This will left $500 to Orrin
Seeley, one of the sons. 5000 to Charles,
another son, wood lot to her grandson,
Frank J. .Seeley, and releases James W.
Seoley from his Indebtedness of 5000 to
the estate. James Seeley is owing the
estate $500, secured by mortgage on real
esta to. The old lady, previous to her
death, conveyed her farm to her son
james, who agreed in return to support
her during her life On the same day she
conveyed to him another farm valued at
$500 and took mortgage from him to
secure the purchase money in the shape
of three notes of $500 each. 1t was one
of these notes that was willed to Orrin,
and one to Charles. If the will could
be broken, as James sought to do, he
could come in for a third of the wood lot
and all of the other requests to the other
sons
Carroll W. Morrill,, appeared for the
petitioner in support Of the probate Of
| the will.
Mr.. Neal argued that the old lady was
of unsound mind sand was unduly in
fuenced by the grandson. The latter,
Frank J. Seeley, went to live with Mrs
Crockett when he was 10 years old and
lived with her until he was married
about two years ago.
The cas- occupied the entire day. The
judge reserved his decision.
James Seeley lad received one farm
from his mother for maintaining hel
for about q year and a half. He got the
farm and gavs his notes in payment ant
now wants to break the will and get one
third as heir-at-law of the value of his
own notes, although his mother released
him from one of them. Also he wants tt
get one-third OF The wood lot left to the
nephews.

WILD RUNAWAY.
Along the Sidewalk Young Man
Stopped Hmm obody Hurt,

Along the Sidewalk -Youne Man
stopped Hmm obody II urt.
An exciting runaway occurred on Con-
gress street about 90 lock yesterday af-
ternoon, and 1t was miraculous that no
one was injured. A horse belonging to
]. R. Libby and driven by Miss Pearson
was going along quietly when the young
lady enIeavored to turnout near the head
of Casco street to avoid a team. The
runner of the sleigh caught in the car
track, tipping the sleigh over and throw
ing the driver out. The horse tim start
ed on mad rush down the street, drag
ging the sleigh on its side after him,
The frightened animal dashed on and out
among the many teams on the street,
narrowly missing a collision with sew
eral, and Fl nally made a bolt for the
sidewalk in front of Ira E. Clark & Co. IS
store in Monument Square. The sidewalk
was crowded with people at the time and
if 1t had not been for the bravery of
young man, who refused to give his
name, several would undoubtedly been
injured. This young man was walking
along with companion and saw this
runaway just as he was heading for the
sidewalk. With quick spring the young
man had the horse by the head, and
hanging there was dragged some dis
lance down the square, but soon had til Q
animal under CONTROL. The horse was
driven back to where he started from,
and strange to say, neither horse nor
sleigh " ere injured.

noon, after a painful illness OF six weeks.
Mrs. Cheney was born in Burke 81 years
ago and with the exception OF few
years has made it her home. Although
suffering much from i'll health she found
it possible to do many acts of kindness
and old and young will miss her loving
ministries. The funeral services, Monday
afternoon. conducted in her old home by
Rev. Mr.. Hoyt OF st. Johnsbury, were
largely attended.
Work has begun on remodeling the old
cardng mill and get ting it in shape for a
well.equipped creamery. Mr.. Paro, who
has had experience in the business, is to
run it. Welcome to new industries.
The steady down-pour on Wednesday
kept large number of people from the
lecture on THE Star Of Empire or Traits
of True Citizenship" by Rev. Henry M.
Douglass of st. Johnsbury, but the few
who braved the elements felt more than
repaid for their effort. Mr.. Douglass not
only has something to say but very
happy way ofsaying it. The lecture was
one to inspire love of country and an
aspiration to truer living in all hearers.
Mrs. Landon's friends will be glad to
see her in the church both Sunday next
and Tuesday evening.
