The butter situation is about the same as

large lots to put into cold storage.
Don't quote prices any higher than last
week, said large receiver of Northern

country, buyers will not pay over Ii cents tor

beng washed down the river by the re.
cent flood. The body was photographed
and taken to Rockingham for interment.
Barre hasn't experienced much incon-
venience from the liquor law in the last
few weeks, and the express teams have
been doing a good business delivering the
"stuff'' in different parts of the city but
there were two raids Sunday at the City
Hotel and Commercial house. The en-
trance of the officers failed to attract
much attention and they were shown
down stairs to the wash room where they
requested to be shown the liquors in
stock. On the cellar bottom they found
fl pint bottles of whiskey, which were
taken. They then went to the CONNER
cial House. but that place didn't know
what Intoxicating liquors were and the
officers found nothing.
The conviction of intoxication of Frank
Lane of Burlington before Justice Haw-
kins in the Burlington city court has
aroused much interest in that city.
Evidence was introduced at the trial to
show that Lane was sober, that he was
awakened suddenly from a nap In a
livery stable chair by the chief of police
and another officer, that he was roughly
handled by the officers and marched TO
Jail. Lane was fined 81 and costs. The
case was appealed and bail furnished. a
suit for $500 damages has been brought
by Lane against Chief Dumas and Officer
Russell for false imprisonment and for
bruising, beating, wounding and Ill
treating him. The writ is returnable
before Judge Russell August 3.
Nellie, daughter of Charles Gilman of
Barton, left home last Wednesday after
noon with pail to pick some berries, as
it was supposed. AS she did not return
later in the day, Mr.. Gilman and several
of his neighbors tried to find her, but did
not succeed. Thursday morning the
search was resumed by about hundred
men, who secured Barton mountain and
the adjacent woods. Towards II o'clock
pail and hat, which Mrs. Gilman iden
titled as the ones that the girl lett with,
were found near the reservoir from
which the village water is supplied.
Several boys tried diving for the body,
but without result. Jesse Cooper ar
ranged forked stick and with that To-
Gated the body and brought it out. The
girl may have gotten into the reservoir
accidentally, though many think the act
was intentional, as she has not been
right mentally for some time and has
spent some time at the insane asylum.

Make the most of the city boarder. Get
the city person, young or old, male or fe-
male, interested in your ncighborhood
and town. There are several reasons for
this. First. it is always best to treat
people well and make friends of them
second, this treatment may induce them
to bring or send their friends into your
neighDorhoOd another summer or possibly
to buy a farm or rural homestead and
put more or less money INTO circulation
by their improvements upon it. Some
of these people of means may be made so
interested in your community that they
may help it to build or equip library or
atheneum, or improve the local park or
make some gift or bequest that will add
to the attractions of life in your vicinity.
Certainly there is no way in which a
person Of means can do better with a
little money than to remember his native
town in some such way.-New England

The federal government has been

Me, this year Not content with
sending the big war-ship Massachusetts
to represent the national power on the
Fourth of July. it will send SIX of the
finest vessels in its fleet, headed by the
magnificent flagship New York, to stay
in Portland lIarbor during the week of
the New England fair. The crack
cavalry regiment of the regular army
has also been detailed for duty at Rigby
park on this occasion, and the garrison
at Fort Preble (the Fifth United States
artillery are close at hand. This en-
sures the finest naval and military dis
play seen since the war.
Over million dollars Isl ,l04,000) has
just been paid by the United States

20, 1898. They get $4,000 apiece this
year, under the act of 1880 against S22,-
900 last year. In July next the amount
will be 1924 900, and on and after July
!, 1899, the sum will be $50. 900 each and

Miss Jean Ingelow, the distinguished
poet and novelist, died in London July
20. She was in her 18th year. Miss In
gelow was the daughter of rich prov
incial banker and was born in Boston,
England, in 1890. She early developed
literary talent and in 1860 published her
first book, a collection of tales. In 1853
she published her first volume of poems.
| 1t was an instant success and gave the
author high rank among the versiliers of
the day. ThencefOrward until a few
years ago her pen was constantly busy
and her books number a score or more
poetry, novels and tales for young folks.
She never reached the level of her early
poetical work, however, and and the 90
ems by which she is remembered to-day
/ (the "SOngs of Seven" etc. are with
hardly an exception to be found in her
first volume.

STREETS OF THE TOWN.
Making Them Beautiful Is the Best Kind of
an Advertisement.

Making Them Beautiful Is the Best Kind of
an Advertisement.
We are apt to take a too unitarian
view of our streets. We know they are
for vehicles and pedestrians to pass from
point to point. We know they are grave
yards for our gas, sewer, water and
electric wire pipes. We know they
ought to be well paved and kept clean,
and, all in all, we know streets are es-
sential to our interests and our comforts.
But streets have a better side. They
should be ornamental as far as possible.
The wide awake business man is al
ways apt to "put his best foot foremost,
and make his business appliances most
attractive to his customers. wide
awake city must do the same-both
must advertise. Every town welcomes
desirable population. Every city pays
homage to the visitor. Ordinarily
streets are planned and paved solely
for commercial or residential pur
poses. We are contented to be jolted
over rough cobbestones or dragged
through the mlre, so we "get there, =
but this is not wise. Common business
Judgment commands us to beautify and
attract, and while it may be uncharitable
to Judge man by his clothes yet we
generally do so.
Now, it may be all very well to have
superb parks and fancy boulevards, but
ten to one the ordinary visitor will be
disgusted by rough ugly streets before
he reaches them. Beauty every street
as far as possible consistent with street
purposes. The ordinary, everyday
visitor strols or rides through the
streets in a leisurely, observant way,
and his first impressions generally form
his Judgment. No broader scheme for
municipal craftsmanship or citizenship
lies than in improving and beautifying
our town highways

What il some morning when the stars we're
paling,
And the dawn whitened, and the east was
clear,
Strange peace and rest tell on me from the
presence
OF belated Spirit standing near.
And should tell him, as he stood beside me,
This is our Earth-most friendly Earth and
fair;
Daily its sea and shore, through sun and
shadow,
Faithful ii turns, robed in Its assure air;
There is blest living here, loving and serving,
And quest OF truth and serene friendship
dear;
But stay not Spirit Earth has one destroy
His name is DEATH fee, lest he find thee
here
And what If then, while the sim morning
frightened,
And trcshened in the elm the summers
breath,
Should gravely smile on me the gentle angel
And take my hand ana say, my name Il
Death"

church and given Christian burial
And it night please Catherine Cole
to know that since the intermen1
some good-hearted women have
caused 4 requiem mass to be said
for the souls of the unfortunate
young men.
Before holding up a community
to public view as an aggregation OF
semi-civilized brutes and ssblood-
thirty leeches," the distinguished
member of the Times-Democrat's
staff should first have inquired into
the truthfulness of the reports
spread broadcast over the country
by men whose business it is to deal
in sensational rot.
1t is to be hoped that some day
the laws will be administered in
New Orleans as they are in Lafa-
yette parish. Although @'more or
less remote from the contagion of
the great city's civilization, the
people of Lafayette have never
found it necessary to kill inno-
cent men in their cells by shooting
them down as if they were mad
dogs; and, too, after they had been
indicated by the courts.
1t is true that there is not
a free circulating library in
Lafayette, but thank God our local
government has not been in the
hands of blacklegs and boodlers and
our criminal courts are free from
the communicating influence of jury
fxers and corruptionists of the
blacklist type.
The fact that a few unthinking
men scrambled for pieces of the
rope is pictured in CHASTITY colors
by Mrs. Fields, who would create
the impression that the people of
Lafayette behaved in a manner that
would shed lustre upon the unenvia-
BILE fame of New Orleans petted and
favored hoodlums. If this action
of few over-grown boys
is to be taken as evidence
that the people of Lafayette
have murderous taste, will Cath
crime Cole please use her great de-
scriptive powers to tell of the
cruelty of the people of the city
of New Orleans, who tore down
the doors of the old parish prison
and butchered eleven defenseless
Italians and hung one:Sto lamp
post and swung another to a tree ?
The morbidly inclined did not only
"cut the hemp in small bits"
but proceeded to cut the
three in little pieces which
they carried away as trophies of
their ugly work. And this exhib-
ition of what Catherine Cole would
call a tttaste for murder" did not
take place in a "railroadless, thea
terless, streetcarless, libraryless"
settlement. 1t was on
sunlit day in the very heart
of the great Southern metropolis
which claims the brainy Catherine
Cole as one of its brightest lights
and the Times-Democrat as its

Il TARIFF ABO1MZNA TON
The Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican, an influential Republican
journal, says:
stAnd what for, if there is no
straw mating industry in this coun-
try to be developed The ingram
carpet manufacturers demand the
change in their interests. They
want people to be compelled to buy
their goods instead. The market
for ingram carpets has been re-
duced somewhat by the preference
for mattings. This must be
stopped, and SO Mr.. Dingley pro-
poses to stop it by doubling the
price of straw mattings. Mean
time, also the prices of ingram car
pets are to be advanced-must be,
because of the demands of the wool
growers not produced in this coun~
try, and if people who prefer straw
mattings are taken by the throat
and compelled to prefer ingram
carpets, the ingram manufacturers
can the more easily overcome the
disadvantage of high wool duties.
There is method in all tariff mad
ness, and here is the method of this
particularly mad and unconscion-
able proceeding. 1t is a case of
taxing a popular preference into
submission to the wishes of single
selfish interest. It is like taxing
wheat to compel people to eat
corn, or meat to compel them to
eat fish, or wool clothing to compel
them to wear cotton, or wooden
houses to compel them to build
brick and so profit the brickmakers:
1t is an unmitigated outrage, and
ought to cost the Republican party
| thousands of votes"
