The Maine hunters who have shot It
men under the impression that they
were deer have proved excellent marks
men this year. Though none Of the hu-
nan targets was nearer than 200 yards,
and come fully 1000 yards away, Of the
Is shot at IA have either fallen dead Or
died within q few minutes, and Of the
wounded two wiz be crippled for life
It is a good target markEman who can
hit an object the size Of a man at 200
yards, shooting ofhand with open
sight. The Maine hunters shoot
through brush and over uneven ground
in bad light, and have made a better
score than the average rife experts.
A great many strange deductions
have been drawn from these facts, the
most interesting Of which is the belief
that the men who did the shooting
knew at the time that they were firing
at a nan and couldn't help it. Nearly
every homicide was a novice in deer
hunting. he was making his first trip
after big game. and was nerved up to
high mental tension in expectation Of
seeing game After hunting for few
hours under such q strain he lost con-
troll Of his muscles and became an au-
tOmGtOn, and shot at the first object
that came in sight If deer CHANGED
to come along at that time the deer fell,
and the hunter was applauded for his
good craftsmanship, and If he killed a
man under the impression that he was
shooting at deer, he received a lot Of
sympathy for his misfortune, and was
asked how he happened to make such a
fine shot.
More than half OF the homicides have
said that they felt they were shooting
at man the moment they pulled the
trigger, though they had been sure it
was deer an instant before. The
realization Of the facts came to them
when it was too late.-N. Y. Sun.

His last trading voyage was a disas-

Capt. Correa sailed out Of New Bedford

he proposed driving some sharp bar
gains with the natives.

stepped from the gang-Plank. Il trad

SENATOR wOLCOTT TELLS WHY
Farmers Won't Trust bankers to Les

Farmers Won't Trust bankers to Leg
IsIate for Them
A bit Of sarcasm that was injected
into Senator Wolcott's recent address
before the New England society on the
occasion Of its annual dinner in New
York in commemoratiOn Of the landing
Of the pilgrim fathers at Plymouth is
worth repeating.
There is everywhere in the west said
the senator, the most cordial appreciation
OF the wisdom Of eastern men, and the
value OF eastern cooperation but some
how II isn't really recognized out there
that ability TO reOrgantze western rail-
road and swell its stock and securities
several millions every time It is foreclosed,
necessarily indicates an equal ability TO de-
termine the Wisest economic policy for
the farmer who lives along the right Of
way"
Coming from Senator Wolcott, this
reference to the Over-cspitalizatiOn Of
our railroads Is rather surprising. That
the banker who seeks to gather riches
by wreclzing and reorganizing railroads
and loading the reorganized companies
with vatered securities upon which in
terest can only be earned by the charg-
ing Of excessive freight rates, should
not be looked up to By the western
farmer who must pay these excessive
rates, as the fountain source OF al
financial wisdom, is not at al surpris-
ing The banker who thus systematic
ally plans to desPol farmers aud other
producers CT a goOdiy share Of their
earnings by changing them excessive
freight rates to pay interest On watersd
securities is hardly the man 70 pirate
about an honest standard Of value.
hardly the man whom the farmer VIII

There is more Catarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable- For a great many
years doctors pronounced 1T q local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced It incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls CatarTh Cure, manufactured by + :.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t Is
taken internally IN doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case 1t
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not entitled to

truth a miracle Of modern medicine!
To make the evidence complete We pub
lish above a fac smile cut of the check re-
ceived by Mr.. Petch from the Canadian Nu-

TO add that this life insurance association did

Petch, except after the most careful exam

There is always a bountiful crop of stories
concerning the doings Of congressional wom-

apochryphal, but this one is perfectly true,

been in Washington till fortnight ago.

The grand total OF these imports from
England being 94.202,Z75, which is an in
significant sum when compared with what
England bought from us-that was five
times what we bought from England IN
der these conditions the dependence Is
far from being mutual, but on the contrary
the dependence OF England on TIE United
States is q most pronounced condition Tho
venerable and learned Senator Morgan, OF
Alabama, in a late interview on tic east
ern question, now attracting the atreatlon
OF the civilized and half-civilized world
stated that England acted as middle
man" for the United States, and as such
distributed our surplus products through
QUIT the world, and in so doing laid on
the producers Of the United States a heavy
tribute in the way Of commissions and
interest In payment for services rendered
What the senator said is true, and a glance
at the list Of articles bought by US from
England last year viii show that Great
Briatin acts not only as middle man foz
Us in distributing our surplus products, but
also in supplying US with many articles
we buy through her produced outside OF
England OF the 13 products Of agricult.
ure bought from England last year, only
three Of them are produced in Great Brft'
ain. These articles are cheese wool, hide
and skins-the first possibly in whole AM.

OF the nine manufactured product
imported from England there are prob
ably only two which we could do with
out, or produce at home. OF the sever
articles the products of mines and for.
ests only three are produced in Great
Britain. Yet in the face Of these facts
and conditions we permit England moi
only TO act as our selling and pUrchas
ing agent, and to charge US commission
and interest for her services, which
amount to a burden on our producers
but II is proposed and urged that We
submit TO the dictatiOn Of this AFRO
CANT agent as to what financial sys
tenn we shall adopt which we thinl
best suited to our conditions and the de
velopment Of our resources.
To rid our country Of this "Old man
Of the sea" is a great economic prob
lem that must be solved sooner or later,
for though EngIand's dependence on
the United States becomes year by year
more pronounced, her determination
aided by the American AnglOmaniac-
10 control the financial policy of this
country in the interest Of England
increases as her dependence becomes
more and more pronounced.
