could not haye tFiumph~d without the
active and powerful assistance of the

honest and sincere for the free siiv. r

terms and stand in with the railroad
combination and monopoiies which
are allied with the gold standard

will prove the sincerity or insiDc~rity
OF every old party politician who

MAY BE MORPHINE MAD.
Probate Judge ShOt-Gause of the
Trouble.

WOODSTOCK, VT. Aug. 24-Hon. Thos.
G. Seaver Judge of probate for Windsor
county has Just been shot by William w.
Lawrence while standing on the piazza of his
residence the ball penetrating his right lung,
lodging under the shoulder blade. The at
tending physician thinks he will recover, al
though his age, beyond 80 years, will tell
against him. Lawrence surrendered himself
to Sheriff Thomas after the shooting and
was lodged in Jail to await Il hearing. The
troubles which led to the assault began early
in 1896. when Mrs. Lawrence left her hus-
band and child and applied to Judge
Seaver for the appointment of guar
dian over the girl, who was about I.
Judge Seaver granted an injunction re-
straining Lawrence from interfering with
the girl in any way. At the last session OF
the court Mrs. Lawrence petitioned for a
divorce on the grounds of intolerable sever
ity aud refusal to support. The case WIS
dismissed because of insufficient evidence.
The in junction was removed and Lawrence
was given permission to see his child. Law
renee conducted his own defence, refuS-
ing counsel. On the morning of the
tragedy Lawrence called upon Judge
Seaver and entered into hot
discussion with him. The iu tge o ,red
Lawrence to leave the hot SO and folio we'd
him to the door, where Lawrence drew a re-
volver and fired two shOu tho first of viii IN
took effect as stated At the Jail Lawrence
was searched and small quantity OF NOR
phine was found upon him. This, it is
thought. may explain why he has at times
appeared to be mentally unbalanced. Judge
Seaver is highly respected and has been
Judge of the probate court for many years

Says the New Orleans Times Demo
craft One of the lacks of the age is
pleasant fiction. Vapid fiction we have
in large quantities, but there are few
novels which are at the same time
pictures of life and pleasant ones. A
book to-day is seldom called strong"
or important" unless its tone is
gloomy, even despairing. Hopeless
ness, in most Of these cases, does not
seem to arise from experience or con-
viction, but gives the impression of
being only a popular literary pose
The idea is abroad that work of fic-
ton ought to be bitter and painful
dose, and that it would not be fulfill
ing its purpose if it proved "an ano-
dyne" to anyone who wished to forget
his suffering

The librarian of the public library at
Kansas City, Mo-, says that for year
there has been greater call for works
ON Alaska than for books on any other
country or section of the globe. She
has supplied the library, she says, with
everything trustworthy she could pro-
cure on the country during this time,
wondering all the while what had
aroused so much interest in that coun-
try in Kansas City. Readers, she
says, have studied writings on the
habits of the people in Alaska, read the
Government reports on the Territory,
and given especial attention to routes
to the Yukon country.

BORN A SLAVE.
Became Bishop-Oldest in Years
and Service.

NETWORK. Aug. A.-Rt. Rev Perry Hop
kins, bishop of the New England district of
the African Union Methodisl Protestant
church has Just died suddenly here. He was
on his episcopal tour. He was the senior
bishop in the African Union Methodist Prot
estant church, and although he was Is years
old was unusually active. He was born a
slave in Maryland and remained u slave
until he escaped in 1910. After running
away he learned how to read and write. lie
used to say that the Bible was his chief text
book. From it learned my English gram
mar, and have found it good enough to
take me through life." In 1913 after his es-
cape he was called to the ministry. He lived
In Pennsylvania, going about from place to
place preaching, and aiding other slaves to
escape until 1S49. He joined the African
First Colored Methodist Protestant church
in Wilmington, Del, the first colored free
church in America. In 1850 his church es-
tablished an itinerancy. He was among
the first, and from that place he worked
himself up to the bishops bench. where he
had served more than 25 years. H. was the
oldest preacher in the church, both in age and
time of service.

The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
is authority for the statement that
comparatively few people have any
idea of the importance of the bitumin-
Gus coal industry in the United States.
Says this newspaper informant:
"Since 1898 it has led in point of mar
ket value the mineral products of the
country, the value of the output for
the calendar year 1896, according to
the report of the geological survey,
being nearly $115, 900, 900. For sew
eral years prior to 1893 pig iron was
the most valuable mineral product, the
total for aS92 being $131, 100000,
while the value of bituminous coal for
the same year was $125, 900, OOG Since
1887 there has been a steady decline
in the price sof coal, while the output
has steadily increased. The 1877, ,640,t
900 short tons produced in 1896 sold
for less money than the $4,000, 900
tons produced in 1891. Pennsylvania
leads all the States in the Union in the
production, it's output for last year
having been 40, 100, 900 tons, valued OF
$35, 200, 900; but this was million
tons less than for the preceding year.
West Virginia apparently supplanting
the product OF this State, the produc
tion of our neighbor increasing 1,5O0,-
900 tons, and ,aggregating nearly 49,

Large farms, unless all their acres
are made available in some way, are
burdens instead of blessings. The
assessor takes in all the acres, and the
taxgatherer is quite as exacting.
Hence, to make all the acres pay their
way, with something over for the far
mer's purse, is to be in the middle Of
the road that leads to goal of success.
