A Paw Paw Industry.

Paw Paw has an establishment, in |.
A. Whitman's marble and granite
works, that is very creditable to its
proprietor and To the village. MIR.
Whitman has been in business here for
80 years, and has sold many stones and
monuments, and has not in all these
years had single dissatisfied purchas-
er. As he advertises each week in the
Northerncr, he keeps large stock to
select from and employs no agents.
This, coupled with the fact that Re buys
direct from the quarries, enables him to
save you One-fourth in price, exactly as
he advertses to do. Mr.. Whitman is a
pleasant man with whom to do business
and, while it is not his method To harass
prospective purchasers with persistent
solicitation, he is always anxious for
patronage and gives the most courteous
attention to all. The Northerner re-
commends Mr.. Whitman to all intending
purchasers of goods in his line.

In a recent number of the Lancet"
is an item concerning medical fees in
America, in which it is stated that the
average income of medical man here is
higher than in England. Why fees are
higher than in England is a difficult
matter for that journal to comprehend.
Less competition cannot be the cause.
for in the States there is one medical
man to every five hundred persons, where
as in England there is only one to every
fifteen hundred. The working classes in
America receive larger wages than in
Great Britain, and no doubt this partly
accounts for the higher medical fees, but
a still more potent reason is the fact that
in America the members of the medical
profession stand well together and are
resolved. to resent as vigorously as posi-
BILE any attepmt to lower the rate of fees. :"
Yes, they organize trusts.

A japanese correspondent of Garden
and Forest says that the burdock, which
the Japanese call ''gobo," is valuable
food in Japan. The tender shoots are
boiled with beans; the roots are put in
soup and the young leaves are eaten as
greens. The plant has been cultivated
for centuries, and the annual value of
the crop is about 100000.
There are many physicians now who
claim that there is no such thing as APP
pendicitis. This has caused the Rich
mond Times to ask: eff this be true,
what shall we do about all those who
have died with it?" Well, it is rather
late to do anything in their cases, but
we might compromise and offend no one
by declaring that death resulted from
heart failure"

The amendment to the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill providing for the
spending of $50, 900 in improvements at
Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands
has been adopted by the Senate and such
action affords grateful assurance of the
fact that American interests in the Pacific
are to be wisely safeguarded. The pro-
jected work at Pearl Harbor is almost in
dispensable to the development of that
great naval outpost and will serve notice
to the W orld that American influence in
that quarter of the globe is permanent
and progressive.

The Presque Isle Star-H Herald thinks
that Elf barley raising were carried on
in Aroostook without special contract
to supply New Hampshire brewery with
the means of more or less mischief, and
the crop went into the market and was
absorbed by Mr.. Jones in the way of
trade and subsequently in liquid form
by his customers it would be all right =,
But, - adds the Star-Herald, as it is,
it is hard to argue out of sight the logic
and consistency of the protest made by
the Changers. If the Aroostook con-
science can be SO easily quieted as that
there would seem to be no insuperable
obstacle to raising barley in that county.

The decision of President Kruger, of
the Transvaal Republic, to repeal the an
ti-immigration law is notable step
toward the Cancellation of the English.
1t was this law that Chamberlain SO
severely denounced, and which was likely
to prove sufficient pretext for another
English invasion of the Transvaal
While this action does not entirely re-
move the danger of a collision in South
Africa, it greatly diminishes it. Yet with
Sir Cecil Rhodes, anxious to find a pre-
text for gobbling up Kruger's country
and the English people ianxious to have
him succeed, it will be strange if the
peace is long kept in South Africa,
Notwithstanding Kruger's conciliatory
policy.

sugar Investigating committee of the
Senate has signed petition for the par
don of Broker Chapman, who was sem
fenced to thirty days imprisonment for
refusing to answer questions put to him
by the Senate committee in regard to
sugar speculation. In this case Allen S
position seems to be much more common
dable than that of his associates. If wit :

upon the Senate to pardon them, what is

Senators feel under deep obligation to

The war between Turkey and Greece is
practically over. If she has not done SO
already, there is little doubt but that the
latter will soon call upon the powers to
mediate, agreeing in advance to accept
their decision whatever it may be. 1t is
not probable that the Powers will permit
Turkey to annex any new territory,
though the war party at Constantinople
are clamoring for a large part of Thessaly
besides a war indemnity from Greece.
But whether Turkey gets any additional
territory or not the result of the war cannot
be other than disastrous to the Christians
both within Turkish territory and along
its borders. The Turk by reason of his
triumph will take on new courage to
pursue his persecution of the Christians
while the latter will have largely lost the
heart to resist. The overthrow of the
Greeks will naturally strengthen the
Turkish empire, and render the task of
making it behave far more onerous than
it has been since the Russian campaign.
Rev. DR.. Hills of Chicago, in recent
sermon declared that Chicago is on the
down grade, and the Record" is con-
strained to admit that he is right. Dr.
Hills points out that local capital is
leaving that city to find investment else
where, and that foreign capital no longer
is seeking investment within it's boun-
diaries with the former confidence which
marked the community years of unpre
nQdnntnG IL IND oh,
and labor seeks employment. While these
influences are due-in large measure to
the general depression which has affected
the whole country for half decade, the
fact remains that acute local influences
have added a severe accent : to the city's
ills. Many of these were pointed out by
DR.. Hills The greed of the rich on the
one hand and the often ill-advised coun-
sells of labor leaders ON the other, have
combined to cripple industry through the
tyranny of mOnopolies and the frequently
excessive demands of organized working
men Dishonest assessors, official black
mailing, a corrupt city council and in
efficient municipal government, these
have done their share in working de-
moralization and loss. The community
seems profoundly stirred but the condi
lions which prevail can be cured. Good
citizens, the Record says, are still in
majority and it calls upon them to cease
the folly of dividing on lines of National
partisanship in dealing with local affairs.
Stupidity OF this sort, it declares under
existing circumstances, is crime against
the community. The city can be saved
from its sickness only by the reformation
OF its politics, it's rulers, its greedy rich,
its unwise labor leaders and SO called re-
formers who act from motives less I'M
selfish than the good of the entire COM
munity.
