The residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. T. V.
Garlock was the scene of a very enjoy
able social party on Mondoy evening.
where, in the cosy parlors Of which
were assembled, a large number of Mr..
Garlocks friends who at his request had
gathered to take part in the celebration
of his-well his b~irthday-we don't
know whether it was his 37th or 73rd
Tom didn't say, but that did not cut any
figure in curtailing the general enjoy
ment that marked the jovial occasion
from start to finish. Games and amuse-
ments of all kinds were INDUCED in, and
a lunch fit for a queen was a most pleas
ing and satisfying feature. Everybody
enjoyed the event hugely and after
wishing Tom many happy returns, at a
late, or rather an early hour the guests
adjourned until the evening of April Is,

Discovered by a Woman.

Another grea. discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its seyerest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle Of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for consump-
ton, and was so much relieved on taxi
ing first dose, that she slept all night
and with two bottles has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

All New England viii hope for the sue
cess of the organized protest" that is
being worked up all over the country
against the duty imposed on hides by
the Dingley bill. The signatures to the
protest will be bound in volumes accord
ing to states, and presented to congress,
in the hope that the obnoxious duty may
be repealed AS was pointed out at the
time, the duty is Of no advantage to
anybody but the big western packing
interests, which are generally repre-
sented as a trust" The government
can get at most only 100000 year out
of it. The price of cattle with the hides
on has scarcely been raised cents per
100 pounds, so the farmers gain practi-
cally nothing. The price of hides which
the packers sell has however, gone up
2 cents per pound, or 50 per 100 pounds.
AS a direct consequence of this increase,
the price of boots and shoes of the
cheaper grades has in some instances
been raised as much as Is cents per
pair, 1t is easy to figure that this
means a total of $1000O,0Oo taken from
the people for the benefit of the packers.
Whether the duty on hides was simply
malicious drive at New England, or
whether it was a concession forced by
the trusts, doesn't much matter now.
The injustice of it Is obvious and the
duty should be abolished It taxes the
whole people simply for the benefit of
q few meat packers.

Robert P. Porter, who has declined
the superintendent of the twelfth cen
sus, has been at considerable pains to
refute certain allegations made by Col.
Carroll D. Wright as to the cost and
efficiency of the eleventh census Mr..
Porter takes Col. Wright to task for
making impossible comparisons. He en-
deavors to show by' citation OF facts
and documents, that estimates of the
cost of a census founded upon the char
acter of the work done in the labor de-
partment must be by nature invalid.
Mr.. Porter goes on to show that the ex-
cess Of the cost Of the eleventh census
over that of the tenth census, is ac-
counted for by the additional field work
necessitated by the increase of popula-
enumerators. by the publication
of bulletins and by several investi-
cations mot called for under the tenth
census but ordered by congress in the
eleventh.. which added at least $1,000, 900
to the total expense. On the basis of
the work of the 10th census the 18th
census cost about $S,OOO,GOO, according
to Mr.. Porter He makes 1t appear that
there is little information to be gained
by a comparison between the 10th CEN
sus and 18th, because neither was or
ganized under the civil service law. He
does, however, insist that the census Of
flee should be placed within the CLASH
fed service, and that is the main point.
To this extent, at any rate. Mr.. Porter
still stands with the reformers, even
though his letter be addressed to Sena-
tor Gallineer

The Berlin Kladderadatsch is known
the world over as one of the funniest
of European funny papers, but the two
months Imprisonment of Editor Troyan

1t an additional distinction F1iegende
Blaetter never plays with politics or re-

Springfield seems to be preparing to
go into the electric light bust
ness, ' though the city pays only
SIS a year for its arc lights.
The city fathers who are looking
into the matter find the famili-
ar embarrassment in estimating
the actual results obtained where the
experiment of municipal lighting plants
has been tried. The claims of economy
are numerous, but there is no unifor-
nifty in the bookkeepin, and consequent
ly comparisons of cost are misleading.
In some towns. the lights are kept burn
ing only till or o'clock, instead of all
night. In others, no account is made of
repairs in estimating the cost, and no
allowance is made for depreciation of
the plant In Pennsylvania, where coal
is cheaper than in New England, the
cost of street lighting is, of course,
smaller. Then there is the additional
consideration of the price to be paid for
the plant. How large a bonus
viii have to be paid by the city? There
seems to be only uncertainty and guess
work, whichever way one turns for in
formation as to the problem.

Nelson McVIckar.

Philadelphia, Jan. 27.--With the Inn
posing ceremonies of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, Rev. DR.. William
Nelson Mcviekar was today conse-
Grated bishop coadjutor Of the diocese
Of Rhode Island. The ceremonies, which
took place in the Church of the Holy
Trinity, Of which DR.. McVlckar has
been the rector for 20 years, were at
tended by nearly all the bishops Of the
church in the United States and by
many clergy1neh from this and other
cities
The consecrating bishop was Rt. Rev.
William Crosswell Doane, bishop of Al
bany, who was assisted by Bishop
Henry G. Potter Of New York and by
Bishop Thomas A. Jaeger of southern
Ohio. The bshop-elect was presented
to the consecrating bishops by Bishops
Whitaker of Pennsylvania and Law
renee Of Massachusetts,. The sermon
was preached by Bishop Randolph of
Virginia, and other bishops who assist
ed in the ceremonies were: Coleman of

Organized labor will hardly be graft
fed by the decision Of Judge Richard
son, of the superior court, in the Boston
bathhouse contract case. The contrac-
tors who had undertaken to put in the
heating and ventilating apparatus
agreed to employ union laborers, but
they did not keep the agreement, and
accordingly Mayor Quincy endeavored
to prevent them from finishing the
work. Now comes the court, and says
thai such discrimination between
workmen as this agreement implies is
void, because it is against public policy
and in violation Of the state eonstitu-
ton. 1t constitutes class privilege, and
conflicts with the theory of government
founded on equal rights. The import
ance of this decision is obvious enough.
The labor unions cannot enforce
through contracts their demands for
recognition, and the contractor is left
as free as a manufacturer to employ
union or non-union men at his discre-
ton. The decision must be annoying
to Mayor Quincy, who should not have
been mixed up in a labor dispute.

Capt. Wildes of the cruiser Boston
evidently has a level head. There would
be no justification il landing American
forces in Korea at the request of the
king, unless American interests were
directly threatened. If the king needs
protection against Russians or japanese
so that the good offices Of the United
States government seem to be required
under the treaty of 1882, application
would have to be made in Washington,
and from Washington the good offices"
would be ''exerted," as in fact they
