a SHE RIFFS CRUELTY.
Said to Be Responsible for Death of Aged
y China Man.

WWaterville. July 21.-Dr. David
Malcolm's condition tonight is very seri-
Gus, the doctors giving up his case. DR..
Malcolm was brought to Waterville We'd
nesday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Chas.
Jones of China. The doctor was wanted
as witness and though seventy eight
years old, was brought distance Of
nineteen miles in the heat of the day.
Reaching Waterville he was found to be
very i'll and doctors were called who pro-
nounced his condition in part due to q
dose of morphine, from which he would
recover. It Is now stated he will sue
cumb. His relatives were notified and ar
rived here this afternoon, and In an in
terview his granddaughter stated: 'We
shall proceed against Deputy Sheriff
Charles Jones, who knew better than to
have taken man Of grandfather's age
and condition out into the heat of We'd
nesday. One sheriff came for him before
Jones, and seeing he was i'll did not in
sist upon his going. When Jones came
for grandfather, he was told he could not
go, or at least before seeing physician,
but no attention was paid to this
II understand when they had gone
some miles from the house grandfather
got from the carriage and secured drink
at which time he took q dose of morphine
to ease his sufferings."
There is no chance for recovery to
my mind and the sheriff will have to an
swer for manslaughter. -
1t is true Malcolm was wanted, but s

Japan VIII Stand Out.

Vancouver, B. c., July 21.-Count
Okuna, foreign minister Of Japan, says
regarding the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States:
The foreign office is not surprised at
the proposed annexation. We simply
the islands will be immensely increased
by the construction of the Nicaragua or
Panama canal To have them incorpor-
ated into the Union would seriously In
volve international interests in the Pa
ciflc ocean.
Leaving aside the attitude of other
powers the question is what will Japan
do if under any circumstances, the
annexation is carried into practice in
spite Of the protest Of Japan. Japan must
oppose it to the utmost. Annexation
must not be recognized.

Ran IS Miles Through the Woods To
Richmond.

Lewiston, July a1.-The missing Thorn
as Ranks was found Wednesday at the
home of his sister in Richmond. All that
he knew about his leaving home when
he came to himself, was that he went out
to look at his grass on the farther side Of
the road in front of his house and while
sitting on the wall heard two shots fire d
near him, which he took to be meant for
him. The whistling of bullets was the
last he could remember. When he came
to himself again he was lying on his back
on a couch eighteen miles away and his
half sister was bending tenderly over him
trying to ease the pain in his injured
side. His torn and soiled clothing and
his generally exhausted condition told
the story of his wild run of eighteen
miles through the forests The man is
insane.

"It was more than 20 years ago that

compound that has now passed out OF
the category of patent medicines and
become we'll introduced. "The question
that bothered me was how to get the

The English Dislike of Commerce.

We believe that the English, who xrS
in continental opinion a nation of ship
keepers, are not by instinct or by aspira-
ton trading people at all, or even an
industrial one. They are "a seafaring
people by tendency, and as the sea Pre-
duCgs nothing they are compelled to
trade, and circumstances have driN en-
them into the industrial life, but their
prOclivity is toward struggle of any
kind, and not, except as an incident in
that struggle toward the making Of
money. 1t was quite late in their his
tory that they recognized trading as
their vocation, and much later still that
they surrendered the notion that to be
a trader, whether merchant or manuflc-
turer or dealer i'll money, was to be
comparatively base person. Till with
i'll the last few years all historians
thought economics rather unworthy
subjects of their pens. and the social
distinctions drawn against industry
were of the most CALLING character. In.
deed. they have not disappeared yet, the
contempt which was once felt for the
merchant and the banker being still en-
tertained for the distributor, though he
often combines both functions. 7 he
great industrial is still hardly reckoled
on par with the great agriculturist,
and the shOpkeeper of any kind is still
placed far below any sort of professional.
Money, it is true, is now almost the
only source of irresponsible power, and
those who possess it begin, like the
powerful III all countries and ages, to
be highly regarded, but the grandson of
Tottenham Court road peer would
much rather his peerage had been ac-
quired in battle or by chicane than out
of a shop, however large, Even the cap
tains of industry, who are like the old
barons i'll many respects, are not thong hit
of as quite their equals, and the greatest
of railway builders, say the late Mr..
BrasSey, is not placed on the level of a
great agriculturist, say the late Mr..
Coke of Norfolk The state has honol ed
both, but the popular sentiment, which,
and not the state, settles what Greeks
are like, condones, rather than delights
i'll, the action of the state. The difference
is disappearing, but it dies hard.-Lon,-
