The Senate of Kentucky has taken
radical action against the turnpike
raiders who have been trying to abol-
ish the tolls gates by chopping them
down, burning the keepers houses
and terrorizing them and their ia
miles by threats of murder if they
continued to collect tolls. The bill is
a comprehensive and rigorous one. 1t
requires jailers and other office hold
ing persons threatened with violence
to arm prisoners, if necessary, that
they may defend themselves. 1t
makes it mandatory upon the county
Judge to furnish from two to ten arm
ed guards, summoned from among
the citizens, who are compelled, un-
der heavy penalty, to protect for thir-
ty DAYS any toll gate or other public
or private property threatened by
raiders, and provides pay for such
guards and severe penalties for all Of
tenders captured. This measure
ought to be effective to check these
lawless and disgraceful raids.

Sec. Sherman has formally notified
the British government that the Unit
ed States senate has failed to ratify
the arbitration treaty. The secretary
was unable to inform them why the
treaty had not been ratified, as he is
in the dark himself in regard to that
matter, as he has received no notice
except the statement of the vote in
the senate. The absence of official
objections prevents any attempts be-
ing made to meet the objections in an
amended treaty.

The visible gold supply Of the United
States and Europe, according to
trustworthe estimates, has increased
s15O,OOO 900 since the beginning of
1896 More than half of this gain is in
the United States. Of course, if the
election of last fall had gone the other
way there would have been large
loss of gold here instead of gain.
The best days work the American
people ever did since the war was

The importers of foreign woods are
ransacking the world for wool which
they expect to get into the country
before the new Dingley law goes on
to the statute books. The importa-
tions of clothing wool in March, 1894,
the last March under the Mckinley
law, amounted to only 924, ,512 pounds.
Those in March, 1896, under the Will
son law, amounted to 1879, ,405, and
those in March, 1897, 50, ,5s5, ,455.

Our naval reserve is not yet for
midable body in point of numbers, for
its total, including officers, is not over
1000. But this total is distributed
among fifteen States, and there is,
therefore, that number of nucles Of
"citizen sailors" who are being train
ed themselves, and will be able ere
long to train others. 1t is hoped that
the number will grow to 10000, and
that they will constitute the inner line
of coast defence in case of war. IL
linois, at present, has the largest
company-448 in all. As the yearly
appropriation of $50, GOO is distributed
on the basis of about S13 per man, she
will receive S5,SO7. Connecticut has
the smallest company-135. Massa-
chusetts, which formed the first bat
tallion in 1890, stands second in rank,
with membership of 434.

There are good reasons for believ-
ing that the Burlington and Lamoille
division of the Central Vermont rail
road is about to be leased by either
the Boston & Maine or the st. Johns
bury & Lake Champlain railroad COM
pany. Negotiations to that end have
been pending for some time and the
consummation has only been delayed
by the illness of President L. Tuttle
of the Boston & Maine company.
railroad, running from Burlington to
Cambridge Junction, distance of "a
miles, was leased to the Central Yer
mont Railroad company May 1, 1889,
for term of 95 years at rental of
$4,000 and 5000 additional for the
purpose of keeping up the organiza-
ton. A majority of the stock of the
st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
company is owned by the Boston &
Maine company, who therefore con-
trolls the road, although it is operated
as separate corporation. 1t runs from
Lunenburgh to Maquam, distance of
120 miles, with an II mile branch be-
tween North Concord and East Hav-
en-. 1t seems likely, therefore, that
the lease, when it is effected, will be
made by the st. Johnsbury & Lake
Champlain company, backed by the
Boston & Maine.

might be expected under such condi
tiOns as the average farmer takes
hopeful view of the future and, when
comparing the conditions of his busi-
ness with other industries, he finds
many reasons for being contented
with his prospects.
The reports received show that
during the year 1857, 100 have been
invested in new manufacturing en-
terprises and that they are furnishing
employment for 353 persons. This is
but $56,O00 more than onehalf as
much as was invested in 1898, which
was the least of any of the six years
in which these statistics have been
collected. These enterprises are dis

Broke tho Smell.

Upt the time of Cleveland's election
it was u popular superstition with poll
ticians that no candidate whose name
began with the letter @ could be elected
to the presidency. Tho idea arose from
the fact that no man whose surname
presented this popularity, no matter
how strong no was with the people, had
ever been successful at the polls. There
wero two Clintons, George aud Dewitt.
William H. Crawford, Henry Clay,
Lewis Cass and number of others,
who, though their prospects seemed
bright indeed, met with defeat when
it came to the test. Several of tho C's,
George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in
stance, were strong candidates several
times, but never could "make tho

chancel, beneath an arch of clematis.
The chancel was decorated with cut
flowers and palms. The decorations were
especially beautiful having been prepared
by the fair friends of Miss Johnston. The
Rev. f. w. Hubbard united the couple
with the simple and impressive ceremony
Of the Episcopal Church. The young
woman was given away by her brother
VIM. Johnston, of Salem. a large crowd
witnessed the ceremony, after..which the
entire bridal party drove to the depot
where the bride and groom took the 4:30

were numerous and costly and they left
amid congratulations and the hes. wishes
of their friends for happy and radiant

origin of Pale Ale.

1t is not generally known that India
pale ale is so called because it was orig
inally made solely with view to the
climate of the East Indies Once n vessel
containing number of Bass hogsheads
for the east was wrecked in the chan
mel, but the greater part of the cargo
was saved. Among other salvage, the
underwriters sold tho barrels of ale in
London. Tho new beverage was warmly
praised by the Londoners who happened
to drink it, and in rhe course of Il short
timo demand sprang up throughout
tho English speaking countries for India
pale ale.-San Francisco Argonaut

congested with the thousands Of visitors.
History of the Society.
The story back Of this immense gather
ing in the land Of flowers has q romantic
interest that lifts it far above the COM
monplace. But sixteen years ago thus
worldwide organization had humble
birth in a little, out-of- the-way church in
Maine. To-day there are $4,000 socie-
ties. with a membership of 7,OOO,OOo
young people in every part of the civilized
world. from Spain to the Samoan Islands,
in the south seas, and from Australia to
Alaska.
In this time 100000 meetings have
haan held by Christian Endeavorers.
Comics OF the constitution numbering
: 600. 900 have been printed in forty Ian
puages. and ut least 100000 copies of
the pledge. More than 100000 associ-
ate members have joined the church, and
more than $4,000, 900 has been given FOR
UNCONVENTIONAL purposes. Such, In prleI'
Is the remarkable history of one OF the
most conspicuous religious movements OF
all times.
The immense meeting on the Pacific
slope has eclipsed all previous reunions.
The central meeting place was Mecnan-
les Pavilion, which occupies an entire
square in the heart of that western me-
tropolis, and has seating accommodations
for 10000 persons. The second great
meeting place was Woodwards Pavilion,
which is about ten minutes walk from
the central rendezvous. 1t is an octagonal
building with seating capacity OF IOoU.
These two places Of meeting were supple
mented almost every hour in the day with
gatherings in the various churches. Even
the Chinese churches and mariners
church Hospitality throwing open their
doors.
This religious siege of San Francisco
was nothing If not picturesque. 1t was
nineteenth century 'doings" which doubt
less made the monastic saints OF long ago
turn uneasily in their graves. The Chris
tian Endeayorer goes in for happy re-
ligion. and if he cannot vent his exuber-
ance in long and loud hosanna he re-
sorts to "yelr' in characteristic college
boy fashion.
Most interesting of all the meetings
were the services in out of the-way places.
Prayer and song and exhortation were
made by wandering bands before the
heather temples in Chinatown, in the
magnificent gambling saloons, among the
sailors, on the wharves, in the jails and
in the slums, in the different factories, in
the hospitals-in fact, wherever the
Christian Endeavorer could plant his two
feet and his symbolic flag.
