PAPER TRUST FORMED.
Ninety Per Cent of the Manufacturers
Repres

Boston. Mass, Nov "Reminiscences
of pulp paper from all parts of the Unit
ed States have been in Boston for the
last two days, and the result of their
deliberations is the forming of a national
association to improve the trade and for
u pooling of export business. The man
ufacturers present represented 80 per cent
or more of the total pulp paper output in
the United States.
The manufacturers have therefore made
an agreement that all surplus pulp pro-
duced in the mills of the United States
and not supplied at list prices to buyers
in this country, is to be exported through
the executive committee of the associa
ton. The loss on this paper exported, if
there is any, is to be divided among the
mills, in proportion to the amount con-
trfbuted to the general pool, while any
profits are also to be divided pro rata.
Hereafter the handling of the overpro-
duct through the association will do away
with the necessity of home competition
at ruinous prices.

PENNED BY OLD HICKORY.
Discovery of an Old Letter Written
by Andrew Jackson

Vincennes, Ind, Nov. 19.-The fact that
Mrs Emily Donaldson, niece of Andrew
jackson, once lived in this city. is recall
ed by the discovery of the following old
letter written to her by "Old Hickory
while occupying the White House:
Washington, D. c., Nov. 81 1886
My Dear Emily: Your kind and ac-
ceptables letter was received whilst 1 was
confined to my bed by a severe hemor-
rhage from the lungs, which threatened
speedy end to my existence but with
sincere thanks to a Providence, who holds
our existence here in the hollow of his
hand have 50 far recovered as to ac-
knowledge the receipt of yours, and to Of
fer up to him who made US my sincere
and hearty thanks for his kindness to you
IN restoring you to health again, and with
my prayers for your perfect recovery and
that you may be long spared to superin-
tend the bringing up and educating of
your dear children, and be a comfort to
your husband, who has great solicitude
about you, and great anxiety to speedily
return to you, but my sudden attack has
detained him.
4 rejoice, my dear Emily, to find your
spirits are good, and that you are able
to take exercise daily. This is necessary
to your perfect recovery, and L trust in a
KIND Providence that in time you will be
completely restored to your health. You
are young, and with good care and treat
ment will outgrow your disease, but you
must be careful and not take more cold.
The digitalis, L fear. is too exciting to
your pulse. The doctor tells me 1 lost
from the lungs and by the lancet and
supping upward of sixty ounces of blood,
which stopped the hemorrhage, without
the aid of that potent but pernicious rem
edy-sugar of lead.
My dear Emily, this chastisement by
our Maker We ought to receive as a re-
buke from him, and thank him for the
mildness of it, which was to bring to our
view, and that it may be always before
US, that we are mere tenants at will
here. And we ought to live. daily, so as
to be prepared to die for we know not
when we may be called home. Then let
US receive our chastisements as blessings
from God, and let US so live that we can
say with the sacred poet:
- What though the Fathers rod
Drop Christening stroke,
Yet, lest it wound their soul too deep,
It's fury shall be broke.
" Deal gently, Lord, with those
Whose faith and pious fear
Whose hope. and love- and every grace,
Proclaim their hearts sincere
Il must close, with my blessing to you
and the children. May God bless you all.
Emily, farewell. Anectionately,

VICTIM OF THE EVIL EYE.
Priest Who Stood With h. II. Holmes
on the Scafold Found Dead.

Philadelphia, Nov. 13.-Another of the
men who helped to send H. H. Holmes
the murderer of many women and chill
dren, to perdition, has fallen under what
is termed here the Holmes evil eye. The
fend during his Incarceration here called
down curses on all who would have any
thing to do with his death. Rev. Henry
P McPake, assistant priest of the Ro-
man Catholic Church of the Annuncia-
ton at Tenth and DickersOn streets, near
Moyamensing prison, where Holmes died,
and who was one of the priests that at
tended the murderer during his confine-
ment and stood with him on the scat
fold was found dead under peculiar cir
cumstances at daylight this morning. AT
9 o'clock the night before Father McPake
left the Church of the Annunciation to
pay a sick call. Half an hour later he
called on brother priest at St. PauPs
parish house on Christian street, near
Ninth, one mile and a quarter from his
own church. After a brief visit he left
to go to his fathers house. At daylight
the dead body of the priest was found in
the areaway of St. Paurs parish school
building. In this edifice reside eight Sis
tiers of Charity. Surrounding the building
is a board fence nine feet high with pro
trudfng spikes. There are two gateways.
one on Christian and one on Nontrose
street in the rear.
No man resides in the building or is al
lowed there, Mrs. Burns doing the
heavy work. She discovered the priests
body when she arrived this morning to go
to work. The mans coat and vest were
in one part of the yard and his body in
another, and his clothing was disarrang-
ed The nose was broken and his skull
slightly fractured.
The coroner's physician declared the
dead man died of uraemia. Thus the
veil falls on a mystery. Only the priests
gold watch is missing. Both gates were
locked The fence could not be scaled
without ladders. How the priest got into
this yard and where he had been since
last evening is a mystery. The sisters
were not allowed to be seen, and had it
not been for a police lieutenant the death
might have been kept secret. 1t will be
remembered that the foreman of the
Holmes jury was electrOcuted on a roof;
the prison superintendent fell dead sud
denly; Holmes lawyer was disbarred;
Judge Arnold, who tried the case, became
i'll and nearly died, and now the priest
who administered JUNCTION meets a mys-
FERROUS death.

1mmoRALIPY OF SANTA CLAUS

From the Denver Republican.
The Church Economist has been in
terviewing clergymen on the subject
of Santa Claus. and here is what the
Rev DR.. Edward Judson is quoted as
saying:
"Our Sunday school exercises during
Christmas are all held in the Sunday
school chapel, and without exception
conform to the perVading religious
themes. By every symbol, by every
word spoken and exercise rendered is
the dominant idea that Christmas is
Jesus birthday, not a celebration in
honor of Kris Kingle. brought out
Not a reference, by word or deed. dur
ing our church exercises is made to
santa Claus. Not once in the history
of the church, so far as 1 know, has
santa Claus appeared among the chill
dren in the form of a disguised small
boy.
Il am Of the opinion-spealzing from
g merely physical standpoint-that
children of sensitive natures receive a
more or less severe shock at the sight
of al grGtesque Santa Claus This rea-
son alone would prevent my approving
the presence of a Santa Claus But

Of the child the deep, holy significance

MARRIAGE AND SOCIETY.

MARRIAGE AND SOCIETY.
Chicago is greatly agitated over the
matrimonial affairs of certain of the
younger members of some of her most
prominent families The daughter of
Robert T. Lincoln, who is the heroine of
a runaway marriage and young George
NJ Pullman whose engagement to the
daughter of Ex-Governor Dick Oglesby
hasf been announced have become the
objects OF considerable attention on the
part of the public.
However society may view the ac-
tons of these two scions of wealthy
stock the world generally Will applaud
both.
1t must strike the average man or
woman that Mr.. Lincoln is making a
great deal of unnecessary fuss about
his daughters marriage. 1t seems that
the young woman is % years of age
and therefore competent to choose for
herself if she is ever to be So The
husband of her selection is said to be
gentleman of good family, and able to
provide for his wife. What more could
be desired?
Papa LincOln's only objection to the
match appears to be that he designed
a marriage for his daughter more in ac-
cord, from the standpoint of the aristo-
cratic and Fashionable world, with his
position as the son of a president of the
United States and president of the
Pullman Palace Car company and 9TH
er aggregatfons of capital. It is doubt
ful if the old rail splitter would have
made any row about similar mat
ter.
The younger Lincoln would doubtless
have preferred a duke or an earl for
his daughter. The daughter evidently
colin than has her father
The case of young Pullman is differ
ent. While he was prospective heir to
some of his fathers millions he became
engaged to Miss Oglesby who spells
her baptismaI name Felicite. When he
discovered that no millions were COM
ing his way he seems to have been
struck by the possibility that he might
not to be so attractive in the eyes Of his
finance as formerly.
In order to test the matter. Mother
Pullman invited the young lady up to
Chicago to spend a few days at the
Pullman mansion What took place be-
tween the young people is not fully
known, but it is announced that the dis
inherited member of the house of
Pullman told her that if anything had
happened which had caused her to re
gret the engagement, she might have
her freedom and she jumped at the
chance, ending the affair.
Such a course speaks well for the
good sense of the young man and the
disinterested observer must feel that he
has made a fortunate escape.
On the whole it is not improbable
that young peoples happiness in a
matrimonial way, after they have ar
rived at the age of discretion, may be
more safely entrusted to themselves
than to some parents who view their
future from the standpoint of money
aud social position. Ambitious parents
are probably responsible for more
wrecked lives then are the mistakes of
sons and daughters left to choose frees
ly for themselves in the matter of a
life partner.

CROKER'S SONS
Play Detective at a University and
Send a Thief to Prison.

Boston, Nov 13.-''Boss" Cookers two
student sons have been acting the part of
detectives at Brown university, and quite
successfully too. AS a result of their
work Harold L. Graham, claiming to be a
a law student is in the tolls of the police

Pierce dormitory, and Immediately the
other students began to miss valuables.
While he was in the theater Richard ).
Croker and Frank Fl. Croker put up a lit

dormitory, where he made a clean
breast"
The Croker boys prepared to give him
a sound thrashing, to duck him under the
pump and then give him two hours to
quit the city but the crowd of students
became so large that fears were express
ed that the thief would be killed in the
scrimmage, and, to avoid this, Graham
was turned over to the police. and this
morning. on his plea of guilty, was held
for trial.

WAS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
n ext Year the Bird Canning Factory
Will Double Its Capacity.

The Bird canning factory which was
established in Topeka this summer, has
scored a financial success. The farmers
who supplied vegetables to the factory
have also been benefited, and for next
year the plans of the proprietor are for
greatly charging the capacity of the fac
tory and making the output more than
double that of the past season.
Topeka's excellent location for manu-
featuring purposes is becoming recog-
nized Some Of the failures in manufac-
turing ventures in the past are now over
balanced by some of the recent successes
in Topeka Most of the failures are due
to an effort toward making the factories
boom real estate deals. After shipping
out car load after car load of canned to-
matoes, Mr.. Bird has yet plenty in store
for future sales which he thinks cana all
be placed by December 1.
The company also canned a considerable
quantity of apples. About an average of
were promptly paid every Monday. Mr..
Bird is thoroughly conversant with every
detail of the business and is now making
contracts with the farmers to raise to-
matOes, peas, beans and sweet corn for
next season. Topeka and Oakland offer
unusually good ground for this business.
One farmer said he cleared $40 per acre on
tomatoes.
The Bird canning factory plant will be
more than doubled for next year, and of
course this will increase the number of
employees greatly. This season the to-
mato crop was so late that the factory
was delayed in starting. But next year,
on account of the large variety of vegeta-
bles to be used, the plant viii be started
early in May and run through the sum-
mer as late as possible.
