THE FIRST COTTON MILL.
washinStou's Diary Fixes Its Location al
Beverly, Mass.

"ashinStoE'S Diary Fixes Its Location al
Beverly, Mass.
Several different towns in the United
States claim the unique distinction of hay
ing erected the first American cotton mill,
but from the best information that can be
obtained it seems that the credit properly
belongs to the town of Beverly, Mass.
The circumstances leading up to this
discovery may be of interest to our read
ers Some years ago Mayor Rantoul of
Salem, Mass, was invited to Pawtucket,
r. l., to attend the centennial exercises
held at that place in commemoration OF
the opening of the famous Slater mill. In
sending out invitations TO this centennial
event the owners of the mill claimed it to
be the first establishment of its kind ever
erected in the United States. For some
reason Mayor Rantoul was unable to be
present at the exercises, but being deeply
Interested in historical researches he de-
cidcd at his leisure to investigate the
claims of the Pawtuckct mill owners
This investigation led to the discovery
shat the old cotton mill at Beverly, Mass,
which was burned down i'll 1888, had been
in operation for several years prior to the
establishment of the mill at Pawtucket,
and that no less u witness than General
washington himself COulu NC CltSu III Coh-
frmation of the fact. 1t seems that Gen
eral Washington, while on n tour of the
New England states in 1889, made q visit
to the old Beverly cotton mill and was so
impressed with the novelty Of the spectacle
that he devoted several pages of his. diary
to its description. This old diary is still
to be found among General Washington s
papers.
As the researches OF Mayor Rartoul
seemed to settle the matter beyond all con-
troyersy, the residents of Beverly, Mass,
caused handsome tablet to be erected on
the site Of the old mill, commemorative
the establishment of the first enterprise
of its kind ever inauguratad III the United
States-Atlanta Constitution.

CHRISTMAS,

Ia our issue of this week, we reprint
froru H0rPer'N Ba5Ir, heamtt';l
stnr\ SUIT, t,l+. to the ''gldd. i"N"rt
Christmas-li!r," witch tell in no uu-
certain way of the most powerful UI
all the cords of love, those almost
heavenly impulses which help to blot
out and bury in the grave of the past,
those differences which overhang us
as clouds, threatening the total de-
struction of our happiness and acting
as harbingers of woe and misery to the
hearts of others as well as ours.
'On earth peace, good will to men. !"
This, the wondrous song of the angels,
should be taken to heart by every
mortal at this time, when the Holy
One of Israel came from his Celestial
mansions to gladden. the hearts of the
creatures of his hand.
ChriStH4uS:- memories it re-
calls. What longing there is in the
heart to return to the days of child
hood; those halcyon days in which
the whole future of life bore a roseate
hue; when every countenance beamed
radiant with love, and each member of
the family circle was remembered
with some gift of affection, some token
which tended toward bringing to
mind the GLORIOUS gift at Bethle-
hem"
OhyiStndS:-How shall we observe
it? Let us do it by a rededication of
our services to our friends. By show
ing our love to those who are and
should be near and dear to us. By
blotting from memory's page all that
would occasion harshness or bitter
ness. BY words and deeds which will
rekindle the fires which have sunk to
smouldering ashes upon the affairs of
affection, and healing the wounds
which raukIe in hearts estranged,
remembering our own follies and
weaknesses and overlooking them in
others, and steadily shaping our pur-
poses toward the betterment of the
community in which we live.
The love-enkindled eye will ever
meet with a response. 1t may come
slowly, but it will come. A smile OF
approval will brighten many gloomy
troublous hour. A kiss of true af.
lection will win back to life the dying
embers of discord, which left alone
will make rapid strides toward grave
of hate.
These are simple things, light spark
ling ripples upon the turbid waves of
lfes stream. But, Oh, how wonder
fully effective. They underlie all the
majestic teachings OF the Master. To
morrow ushers in the Morning of
Christ" Let each one of US endeavor
to render the day II memorable one
by acts of love and kindness, and we
are assured that not one of the readers
of The 1EgiS, to whom we send ou'
Christmas greetings, will regret it.

SOME UNUSUAL TITLES.
The Names of Few Books Which Have
Not Reen ConYriehted.


The journalist who had just written a
delightful little brochure. entitled THE
Libcrt, of the Press; or; How to Knock the
Props From Under the Archimcdcan LIE
vcr That Moves the World" was calling
on Mir. Young at the library to get it copy
rightcd Mr.. Young gracefully referred
him to Il clerk in that department., and as
the clerk was getting the paper ready he
was making himself interesting by talk.
ing.
Yes, sir" he was saying, Il rather
think you have hit upon good title for
your book. OF course some people won't
know what the dicEcns-I beg your par
don-what on earth it means, but that
doesn't make any difference to you. They
are stupid people who wouldn' buy it any
how Still! there's a good deal in title.
OF course l dent mean the kind our rich
girls love to marry, " and the clerk chuc-
Killed. but titles of books. You under
stand. | just made a list l came across
today. They are from different sources.
Here's Il few that funny fellow Tom Hood
gave to the Duke of Devonshirc to go on
some dummy books for an entrance door
to his library: 'McAdam's Views In
Rhodes, Boyle on Steam Designs For
Friezes.' by an Arctic Explorer; 'Pygma-
lion, by Lord Bacon; 'CursOry Remarks
ON Swearing, ny Jupitcr Percy We're, i'll
80 volumes; Cook S Specimens of the
Sandwich Tongue, ON Sore Throat and
the Migration of the Swallow, 'kosciusko
on the Right of Poles to Stick Up For
Themselves, Lambs Recollcctions OF
Suett, Chronological Account of the Date
Palm, and several others.
"Then there were some old volumes OF
the time of Cromwell which had titles like
these: Crumbs of Comfort For the Chick
ems of the Covenant, High Heelcd Shoes
For Dwarfs In Holiness, Hooks and Eyes
For Believers Brooches, The Spiritual
Mustard Pot to Make the Soul Snecze With
Devotion Tobacco Battered and the
Pipes Shattered About Their Ears That
Idly Idol2c 50 Loalhsome a Vanity, by
Nollcy of Holy Shot Thundered From
Mount Helicon, Poem Against the Use
of Tobacco by Joshua Sylvester; The
Shutters of Divine Love, Seven Sobs of
Sorrowful Soul For SIM and some more
of the saIne sort. Added to these are few
scattering ones like these: Waves of Sound
and the High c. a Jawey Forever by
an Active PriZetighter; A Rich Ameri-
can, or the Earl's Choice, and SO ON
through list of odd ones"
The clerk handed the journalist folded
paper.
"Thank you, said the journalist.
Fifty cents, please. Anything more
today" smiled the clerk, and the incident
was closed. -Washngton Star.

There is n little bit of boy in this town
who will probably get his name in the pa
pers some day. y few mornings ago the
people who think he is the pretticst and
wisest child on earth had ham and eggs
for breakfast. When his papa had finished
and was about to start down town, the
child's mamma said:
stop IL moment, George. There's some
egg on your mustache.'
Darn it," exclaimed George. 81 guess
I'll cut it off,
\ few days later the child happened to
notice the gold filling in his mothers
teeth.
"Oh, mamma, dere's egg ON your tools, !"
he said.
My, my" she replied, pretending to
wipe the imaginary egg off. II wonder
how it got there"
The boy was silent for few minutes,
during which he seemed to be thinking
hard At last he asked:
Mamma, why don't 90 say darn too?"

WHERE LOCAL OPTION FAILS.


The liquor question has sprung into
Importance in Il number of the leading
towns of the State, probably owing
to the near approach of the meeting
of the General Assembly and the de-
sire on the part of the friends of
license in local option communities to
secure from that body legislation
looking to IA re-submission of the mat
ter to the votes of the people. Elkton,
Bel Air, Laurel, Rockville and other
places are crying that prohibition
does not prohibit" and that it is bet
ter to allow the sale of liquor under a
license system, and under laws that
will control the traffic and make it
bring revenue into the public Golfers,
than to go on with the present local
option laws. These are set at defiance
i'll all large towns almost with I'M
punity. Few of the violators are in
dicted, and still fewer are ever con
victed. The reason for this persistent
violation was strikingly Illustrated al
the recent session of the Talbot Coun
ty Court. Some convictions were had
there and the offenders sent to the
House of Correction. They Went
gleefully, promising that they would
promptly resume business at the old
stands when their sentences expired.
1t developed that 'speakeasy" keep
ing was the most profitable avocation
in Easton. Persons who two or three
years ago were penniIess are now liv
ing well-when out of the House OF
Correction-and have comfortable
sums of money in banll.-BaItimorc

SENTIMENT Us FACTS.

Local option appeals to the senti-
ment of great many people, and if
actual facts and conditions are laid
aside, better argument might
be made in it's behalf. In theory
prohibition is great stride
towards the millennium and the year
of jubilee, but it is d condition of
facts and tangible realities that con-
front us in this county today, and not
a philosophic or moral hypothesis.
Does local option decrease drunken
ness and crime in this county? Are
the youths brought up to respect law
and order, and impressed with the
fact that laws are made to be obeyed,
and not evaded or detied? Does the
selling of poor beer under the name
of ambr0SiG to young men regardless
of age, and the dispensing of liquors
on prescription under no restriction
except that OF procuring the prescrip-
ton, tend TO impress love of law on the
minds of the youth, or inculcate high
regard and desire for open and manly
acts.
We state unhesitatingly, and we be-
lieve that the sound Judgment of the
better element in this community and
throughout the county will bear us
out,-that such policy and practice
if continued in this county, Will re
suit most disastrously for the rising
generation of boys and young men,
and that the local option law 10 this
county, while accomplishing nothing
for actual sobriety, will lead to state
of lawless disregard of laws in general,
without reference to the business or
efficacy of those laws.
1t is easy to write sentimental
articles that have an outward appear,
ance of harmless sanctity, but the logic
of which is harmful and practical APP
plication impossible. Emotion can
not supplant reason and hard facts,
and come to any healthy conclusion
in a question of economies. But, local
optionists say, this is not question
of economics, but a question of morals.
Doubtless, when man decides that
he will indulge in the use of intoXicat-
ing liquors to excess, and thereby
crush out the manhood that is in him,
he is exercising, or rather REFRESHING
his moral facilities and soaring his
conscience, the voice of God within
him; but do we have laws for the pur-
pose of relieving NAM of moral re-
sponsiblity?
Wherein is man better than the
beasts of the field if all his actions
which require ali exercise of his judg-
ment, of his power OF weighing mo
tives, or of his volition, his power of
choosing between these motives when
weighed by his judgment; are to be
pre- determined by positive law. One
of two things alone can result. Either
man under such a system will become
a mere autonomy, or he will use his
ingenuity to evade the predetermin-
ing force.
Local prohibition as it exists in this
county today is farce, menace to
law and the rearing of good law
abiding citizens, nugatory measure
towards enforcing sobriety, a fetish
with certain persons and papers that
are so limited in vision that they can
not see beyond their own shadows.
TO these may be added a few others
whose lack of liberal education has
deprived them of that training which
would have enabled them to be broad
enough to see two sides of a question
without walking around it.
