A VIEW OF BYRON.
What william Dean Howells Has to Say
Of THE TCE.

Of The Tcs'.
How much wrClg he did we
should not Tow like TO lisk saying.
We feel that it il not ute for us to
say, though for whClA it is to say is
another matter. 1t would hardly ut
this day be t, QUcstion Ct how far he
hal undermined filth, Lut low far
he had undermined Conduct, and
probably his most crying sin will
always lie found to lie that in his
greatest poem lie GCalt falsely and
to the enduring hahn of all who
give tlens dives up 10 his magic
This is the greatest of all pities, but
no candid MN t;n deny that the
question of Lord bylon is ultimate
ly the question CT Zen Juan, or
that the tho, eht CT this is what
first comes into tic mind at NEIL
ton of the pot S time. He is con-
demned to eternal association with
work whoIe beauties are seen
through the shimn.er Of its putres-
cence and whore il41;ny no poet Of
later time would accept for the
sake of his fame. Byron is no Ion
ger god, Dylon is go longer Il dev-
il, but lie was undoubtedly guilty
of sin against the light which was
in him.
His sin was largely Fart of his
pose, which was so largely part of
himself, ard it must net be taken
too serious ly i'll making upa judg-
ment of his character. lie has been
very much nisjudseL because he
has been taken too SCI iLusly for good
as well as fer evil. Because he was
turbulent and rcbeliious it was mag
ineI that he was liberal; because he
was splendid ard llCiuse it was be-
lieved that lie was generous. and he
was always suffering from these
misconceptions, 10th in his friends
and in his foes.
The truth is that Byron was al
ways an ;riatoo1at with very feudal
princir les ard instil cts, and, though
he gave his n.oroy ard at last his
life to the Cause of Greek liberty, he
died as distinctly for Byron as for
Greece. There was persistent boy
ishness in lis ratule, ard with all
his gIeatLCss he had few hours of
maturity. His Lirth, his place, his
experience, lied in him youthful
egotism which he never could put
from him in his relations with 9TH
ers. He was not a judge of men or
books, and his rash and coarse esti-
mate Of Keats was of the same quail
ity rs his estimate OF Hunt The
texture Of his strenuous mind was
loose and rough; his work, except
in rare and fortunate moments, had
defects such as mark that of no 9TH
Ell elninrnt l.,et; III his nest magnif-
icent Damages he had touches of
astonishing tLeal rCss; he wore
stage jewels over lis cloth of gold.
But he had bursts of true feeling
amid his 1uwd1iest defamation and
he gave l1tcfs of real thinking in
conditions which were alien even to
any appearance of thinking.-W. D.
Howells in Harper Weekly.

Cattle Killed in the Snow.

The Vermont Live Stock com.
pany has received advice. from John
Stevens, manager, that from 5000 to
5000 head of cattle on the compan, 5
large ranch in South Dakota per-
ished during the past season ON ac-
count of deep snowfall. The snow
came early i'm the season and con-
tinucd until this spring. The total
number of head of cattle on the
ranch last fall was about 1000. The
company was organized by Brattle-
boro men, and its operations had
been very successful for several
years until last winter.

The Randolph Herald starts the
Webb boom for governor with 4
boost that has sent it rolling through
newspaper office or two. The
colonel is making himself solid with
the military are of the state, the
Herald remarks, and it sees no real
reason why he shouldn't aspire to
otfice-that IS, the governorship.
Col. Webb is working the right way
apparently and he will have a strong
pull with the uniformed rank of the
political machine whenever he wish
cs to use it.

of Vermont;
''Little has been done in the way

Whatever the consequences may
be there is just now a unanimous de-
sire to see, for variety's sake, the
prohibitory law really enforced.
The Vermont Sun speaks for a large
number of voters who are tired and
Disguised with its present admins
tration when it says:
"The Sun believes that an honest,
uncompromislng prosecution of the
prohibitory law would practically
stop the sale of liquor in Vermont
and it also believes that the liquor
power as it has been and is manipu-
lated once lost to the republican
party we would have cleaner poll.
tics, better morals, purer admins
tration of justice. less perjury, less
hypocricy, more practical, COM
mon sense, popular sentiment con.
corning sumptuary laws and little
wholesome legislation on the lines
of true democracy. Let the law be
enforced"

n southern paper remarks that
"such men as Cleveland and the fol-
lowing who sat with him ut the Re
form Club banquet are dangerous to
any community. They are contn-
ually inaugurating embryonic war
fare, and cause an uncomfortable
feeling of dissatisfaction among the
people with whom they mingle."
This is an absurd twisting about of
facts. Mr.. Cleveland and his friends
still have us strong a hold as ever
upon those who have followed them
through several campaigns, while
the uncomfortable feeling of dissatis-
faction exists entirely among their
exasperated opponents. Two nota-
bic examples are Mr.. Dingley and
Mr.. Bryan.

 The various reports circulated to the effect that acting Captain Wells would last night announce the names of the newly elected officers of the rejuven- ated Sarsfield Guard, proved to be canards.
 Captain Wells said last night that he was awaiting the arrival of official mo- tice from the colonel, and as soon as received he would make a public an- nouncement of the new officers.
 Last night the company was given some practice in the open drill and ac- quilted themselves very favorably. This work is in preparation for camp, which begins four weeks from last Monday.

STRENGTH FROM FOOD. But the Food Must Be Digested.

There is no way 10 get strong without food. Food Is the strength maker.
 Just enough food, properly digested, makes the strong and healthy man or woman. Too much, too little, or even the right quantity, not digested, will make anybody weak.
 The beginning of all sickness Is weak ness. The beginning Of all weakness Is indigestion. So to keep strong look af- ter your digestion. That is the most important point of all.
 When your food ferments In your stomach and forms gas, causes dizzi- ness, nausea, bad taste. sick headache, full feeling, nervousness, irrltability etc., you have Indigestion. You are losing part of your life. Every hour you are sick causes a loss of strength.
 The way to cure 1t Is to take Shaker Digestive Cordial. A few doses will re- lieve. If you take 1t long enough you will regain the strength you have lost.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs and plants by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon. It contains very strong digestive tonic properties. It creates strength. It makes your rood make you strong and bright and healthy. It clears your complexion and strengthens your body against disease, If you want to get strong and well try a bottle.
 Sold by all druggists at 10, 20, 50 cents and $1.00 a bottle.

SHARP ADVANCE IN WHEAT.
Large Foreign Buying and Export En-
 agreements.

agreements.
 New York, July 20--Wheat developed additional strength to-day, scoring a further material advance In prices to the highest quotations yet reached for the new crop options. As has been the case for the last several days, the prin- cipa1 stimulus came from firner and higher foreign markets, and the realiza- ton and appreciation of the foreign supply and demand situation. Wheat futures at Liverpool advanced 14ad. for September to-day, and foreigners again bought heavily of the September and December options in this market. In addition to this the aeceptances of of- fers cabled last night for nearby load ing were large, and crop accounts from southern Russia provinces and Austria and Hungary were less favorable, and cables from Budapest estimated the Hungarian crop at only 2S,000,000 to 29,00O, GOO metric hundredweight, against 3S, GOO, GOO in 1896, and brought large buy ing orders.
 Late in the day reports of thirty loads taken at the outports, with rumors of thirty loads additional, and 230000 taken here caused excitement in the .'pit," and prices moved up rapidly on general buying for both long and short account, the market closing firm nearly 2 cents per bushel advance for July, and 1% cents for December from last nights closing prices.
