every kind OF legal paper will have

IF YOU HIRE A HORSE AT A
LIVERY STABLE

you ought to treat him as if he were
your own. If you drive out ten
miles, you ought not to attend to
your own wants until you see him
properly cared for. If an honest
man, you will remember that you are
under twofold obligation to that
animal-an obligation to its owner
and an obligation to the animal.
You are the debtor of both, and
though you pay the price of the horse,
yet no money can release you from
the duty and moral claim involved in
the bargain between yourself and the
owner. To neglect the poor speech
less beast that cannot appeal to the
commiseration of passer-by, is simp-
ly objectionable, and the man who
is guilty of such neglect is worse than
a man.-Our Dumb Animals.

THIS momentous change Of policy
we are urged to enter upon largely
by arguments drawn from the expe-
rience OF England. Great Britain has
colonies, is an empire, is rich and
powerful; ergo, if we would be rich
and powerful, we, too, must have
colonial possessions. There are
many ways of replying to this rea-
soning. Perhaps as good a way as
any is to cite what Englishmen them
selves have said OF the colonies as
the source Of England's power. A
private letter OF Disraeli's has lately
come to light in which he spoke OF
the colonies as a milestone about
England's neck. Lord Salisbury on.
ly d few weeks ago warned the lords
that the strength Of England was al
ready dangerously taxed by her for
eign dependencies. Mr.. Chenery, long
editor Of the London Times, declared
OF the colonies: '"They are not feed
ers but suckers SO much for Con-
servatives-lmperialists Of Imperial
lists. What John Bright thought OF
the colonies, and particularly Of 'sim-
perial federation,' may be put in a
phrase OF his own. He said in 1884
that the ideas then afoat on the sub
ject were equally visionary and val
ueless. But the great Liberal states
man remains to be quoted. Mr.. Glad.

CERvERA's fleet, known also as the
Cape Verde fleet, has ceased to be a
factor in the Spanish war. On Sun
day morning last, tired of his long
Imprisonment in Santiago harbor,
the Spanish admiral made a bold
and desperate dash for iberty-or
death, and got the latter. In at
tempting to escape, the stat ely Span
ish ships, the flower OF the Spanish
navy, were in short time riddled
by shot and shell from the American
ships, and in a burning and sinking
condition stl anded on the shore, and
all OF the officers and crew, who es-
capped death, captured as prisoners.
Cervera S fleet accomplished nothing
except to change our plan OF cam
paign, making Santiago instead of
some other point the first battle
field. Its much heralded start to
America, it's ''corking up'' in the har-
Dor, and tragic end, have been alike
theatrical and spectacular. BY it's
destl uction fresh laurels have been
added to the American navy.

An eminent barrister, noted as
much for a habit he had OF sucking
lozenges as for his eloquence, was
once defending a murder case. He
was standing with a bullet in one
hand and the usual lozenge in the
other, when suddenly, in the midst of
a fine burst OF eloquence, his face fell,
and in a tone OF agony he cried
"Gentlemen, I've swallowed the

Big Fish OIL Trust Formed


TIE Fish Oil Trust recently organized
has been successful in the manipulation OF
the plants atLewes. Captain John Fisher
manager of the Delaware Oil aud Fertilizer
Company, says the deal for the James A.
Lennon Company's and Luce Brothers fac.
tories at Lewes was consummated last
Saturday, and deal for his works would
be wound up in few days. The name of
the new concern is "The American Fisher
les Company" with the main Office in New
York. and plants at various points along
the coast will be operated under different
names and separate management.
At Lewes the name Delaware Oil and
Fertilizer Company" will be retained, and
Louis P. Allyn of Niantic, Conn.,, will man.
age the plant. Mr.. Allyn has managed the
Lennen & Cos works since their establish
ment at Lewes, some twelve years ago, and
is very successful and popular manager.
Captain Fisher when questioned about the
report that the new concern was going to
erect several new buildings and make Lewes
the principal plant and the largest of lis
kind in the country, said there were num-
erous rumors, but he would say nothing
more.
1t is believed that the above statement
outlines the intention of the company, how
ever, as Lewes or the Delaware Break water
is a central point to ship from. and most of
the fish are caught in this vicinity. The
new concern binds the old companies not
to engage in the business again for period
of twenty years.

Central on the 7th and 9Th falls reaction

barometer will fall and warm winds from

the rain will turn to snow and cold wave
with high barometer will rush down from

by many causes. and like other periods this
