A bright example Of constancy and

Henry Foreman, who reside ON their

point Of age both bride and groom have
passed the half century mark. Though
lovers from early childhood and be-
trothed from youth the marriage was
deferred until now, the engagement
covering period of 30 years.
Young Foreman had stepmother to

whom, he solemnly pledged support dur

Peter Peters, who for 81 years has

did not knit, and after the plaster OF

Pope Leo recently threw open the
Borgia rooms in the Vatican, after
spending 800, 900 to put them in re-
pair. The whitewash has been removed
from the frescoes and the pavements re-
stored according to the original designs,
IN majolica tiles. The decorations of
the great ball were destroyed at the
time OF the sack of Rome by the con-
stable OF Bourbon and were replaced by
paintings by Raphaels pupils. The
work OF repair was done in four years
and was hurried as much as possible,
as Pope Leo was very anxious that tho
restoration should be completed before
lo died.

An Edict Against kissing.

The edict recently went forth that
there shall be no kissing OH the annual
picnic Of the Burlington IN. j. Pres
byterian Sunday school. The game par
ticularly objected to is copenhagen,
which was invented, apparently, simply
to furnish an excuse for indiscriminate
osculation.
Recently some censors of public NOR
ais have been asserting that the kissing
games played at the Sunday school pic
MICS were AZ bad as IL not worse than
dancing, to which the church objected.
To be consistent the Presbyterian church
has stopped both, and now the chances
are that the young folks Of the congre-
CATION will migrate to the Baptist and
Methodist churches, which still tolerate
kissing at their Sunday school picnics.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The interest that is being awakened in
the subject grows greater day by day. The
learned and exhaustive discussion of the
question by Hon. p. E. Tillinghast at the
recent dedication of our High School was
of such great interest that there is gen.
eral desire to see it printed and distributed
in pamphlet form. The movement then
taken up in this city should not be allowed
to lag. 1t should be encouraged and fos-
tered in every possible way.
The more aged and wealthy manufac-
turers of this city are the very men who
appreciate such an education. All or
nearly all of them began life under cir
cumstances and surroundings which were
overcome only by indomitable will and
perseverance. They now look back with
pardonable pride upon the struggles and
successes, but with how much regret that
their early steps in life were not aided by
an industrial training only they know and
appreciate.
In Chicago, when the movement for in
dustrial or technical training became well
understood, men Of wealth who appre-
ciated to the full the great benefits which
they had themselves failed to receive, at
once got together and erected buildings
and endowed schools for the purpose Of
assisting the rising generation. II some
such thing could be accomplished here we
have no doubt but that the taxpayers
would gladly pay for the maintenance OF
such a school. But even IL no one will do
so, we see no reason why the system can
not be engrafted upon our daily school
s,;stem. In fact, we think the latter place
the best, because there all scholars would
be under instruction, while there might
be difficulties arising from difference or
ignorance OF parents which would de-
prive many children from the advantages
OF such training.
We do not mean that the schools should
be turned into workshops and bakeries or
designing rooms. But we do think that a
little well directed and properly managed
system could be kept up in all the schools
and that school for higher grades would
in time be needed and developed.
Al any rate the subject is at last taking q
firm grip on Rhode Islanders, who are the

No startling attractions are billed here

The ball game with Newport in the morn

are the principal features of the observance
in this city.

feat q severe strain Is placed upon the

NEEDS OF ALASKA.
Governor John G. Brady Formulates
Some Sensible Ideas for tie People
of That Country.

Seattle, Wash, November 2S-In an
interview Governor John G. Brady, OF
Alaska, said
The business men and officials of
Alaska are concerned in effecting some
change or aRpliication Of the laws as
they are at present in force.
They will combine to submit to
Congress a proposition to authorize the
appointment of committee which viii
consider the needs Of Alaska on the
grounds. My idea is that the commit
tee should consist of a Senator. a Rep
resentative and three bona-fde resi-
dents of Alaska. If we are able to get
a committee something may be accom-
plished for the practical good of Alas
ka. Otherwise time devoted to Alaska
will be frittered ANYWAY in the consider
alton of individual bills of no benefit
to the country as a whole. Many
think Alaska should have Territorial
form of government. The objections to
this are manifold, chief among them
being the sparse population of the
country, A territory means taxation,
and the people are not there to be taxed.
1t would be of little avail to submit to
Congress resolutions for a change in
IL
things must be investigated by tom
mittee which can ascertain the needs
Of the people by personal observations.
We want an extension of the land
laws, the status of the natives declared,
the regulation Of the fish industry. the
RIGHT of appeal and laws for the presar-
walton Of game.
'The smuggling evil must also be
dealt with by the committee. Last year
21,000 gallons of Canadian whiskey
were smuggled into Alaska

SPANS GOLD VS.. CUBAN HONOR.

1t would seem that Gen. Blanco, the
new Captain General Of Cuba, is of the
opinion that the purse is mightier than
the sword in suppressing the rebellion.
His two predecessors tried the sword,
and his immediate predecessor expert
mented with starvation as an aid to
steel and gundowder, but all in vain.
The insurgents were unawed by armies
and were made only more determined
and desperate by the attempt to starve
the island into submission. Gen. Blan-
co is planning Z to try what virtue
there is in gold. Proceeding on the
principle that everyone has his price, y
he has sent out agents well supplied
with money and authority to make
promises. Certain insurgents chiefs
are selected on the supposition that
they are more amenable to ''persua-
SION than others. They are to be Of
fered large cash brides in addition to
promises of military or civil positions Of
distinction and profit. If they listen to
the voice of the tempter it. is expected
that the insurgent forces will be so
weakened that further resistance will
be useless Those who refuse to nego-
tate, or whom it is thought unadvisa-
bic to approach, will be given oppor-
tunities to leave if they will not sub
nit to the proposed new order Of
things, and in this way Cuba will be
'racifed" at far less cost than if a
peace was conquered instead of pur-
chased.
1t would no doubt be a profitable
transaction to Spain if Cuba could be
retained, even at a heavy outlay for
corruption purposes, but the success of
the scheme is more than doubtful. Ac-
cording to reports, those before whom
the tempting bait has been dangled do
net snap at it. They are shy Of Span
ish promises, distrusting either the in
tention or the ability Of the present
Spanish Government to fulfill them,
and knowing that a reactionary gov
eminent, which may replace it at any
day, would be certain to repudiate the
pledges. Spanish gold might possibly
influence the course Of some, but what
would it avail when at some later day
they faced a betrayed patriot with re-
membrane Of their treachery to nerve
his yengeful hand?
1t would take q good deal of gold to
gid the dishonor Of betraying the pa
triot cause to Spain when little
further effort is more than likely to
crown that cause with triumph.

127, according to the Senate report;
therefore, simple comparison with the
index number for 1897 shows drop in
average prices CT As per cent.
There can be but one reasonable
conclusion, and that is the purchasing
medium has increased just that per
cent in value.
How would the merchant like yard
stick that gradually grew in length
each year until in twenty-five years he
had to sell six feet Of cloth for a yard
How would a farmer like a bushel
measure that doubled in capacity in a
quarter Of century, requiring him to
sell two bushels for one?
Yet that is exactly what the gold
standard mas done, not only for the
merchant and the farmer, but for the
owners of all property in this country,
and that is the kind cf monetary ere

in perpetuity on the people.
