JOHNS OPPORTUNITY.

eighteen years old, fairly cookbook
ing, having an English high-school
education, a quick perception of bust
ness methods and one years experience
in a large business establishment, had
attained to the wages of four dollars a
week, and had no prospect Of advance,
SO far as he could see.
The situation was freely discussed
at home. His father was willing that
John should make change if he was
convinced that he could do better, SO
after reading advertisements, looking
about the city for several days and
talking with friends, he found an open
ing in a large retail and wholesale
hardware store. The salary would be
but two dollars a week for the first
six months.

The Rules Of Warfare.


barism, says Washington letter in the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat, it must be
waged between enlightened nations
with strict adherence to many binding
rules, prescribed from time to time by
international law. All weapons which
make warfare actually cruel and bar
barous are regarded as Illegal unless
they viii, by one bold stroke, speedily
terminate the war.
Red-hot shot were used in the wars
of Frederick the Great. Hollow shot
or hollow bullets were considered cruel
because they became fattened and ir-
regular after coming III contact with
bone, thus making wounds uunecessari-
ly painful. Langrel, composed Of nails,
knife blades, bits Of iron, etc, which
made horrible wounds, is forbidden for
the same reason. Projectiles Of an eX-
plosiye nature or charged with infam-
mab,. substances are now considered
unlawful between nations. if weighing
less than IA ounces Likewise. roison

RiVervieyy Local nion.

The thirteenth session of Eiverview
local union Of {. T., was held With the
local society at Hancock Tuesday, NOV, s.
The threatening weather prevented
large gathering, but those who came,
and there was goodly company,
were amply repaid. For, than this ses-
sion, there has been none more inter-
esting and helpful in the history Of the
union.
Ten societies reported encouraginglY
and among other things the organization
of a Junior society. Tne symposium Oh
''Our Pledge" contained some very choice
and well put Thoughts which provoked
very helpful discussion on the various
topics.
Rev. L. A. Cranston, the originator OF
the local union, WAS at his best in pre-
senting the evening address on sImjta-
ton. The ancients stimulated their
soldiers to noble deeds OF yalor, by oblig-
ing them to study and pattern after the
lives Of eminent warriors. NOGern sol
diers of the cross can do ~ better
than to study and pattern after The
HE Of the uoyiest Warrior tagt ever
buekled sword, even Him who's only
weapon was the Sword Of the -pirit'.
Al pronounced the session rs one of
the very best.
Officers We're elected for the ensuing
year as follows: 7. NJ. BlaisdeIl, East
franklin, president; Miss Ne.ie Crab-
tree, Hancock, secretary and treasurer.

The great Corbett Sharkey tight came
off last night at the Lenox athletic club
house in New York city. In the ninth
inning one OF Corbett's seconds entered
the ring for no apparent reason. This
was not in good taste, and it was contrary
to ring rule. Consequently the referee
gave the fight to Sharkey, but declared
all bets off. The sporting world now
looks forward to GO between Sharkey
and Fitzsimmons.

Three subjects Of very weighty con-
sideratioa we're introduced into congress
yesterday which will give rise to pro-
longed and able discussion. First, the
resolution OF Senator Vest declaring that
the constitution of the United States
gives no power to this government to &C.
quire territory to be held permanently
as colonies. Should this be decided
affirmatively by congress it will keep the
United States out OF possession Of the
Philippines at least and possibly Porto
Rico, though it is more likely the latter
will be admitted as a territory with
statehood ultimately in view. This is
what is now being done with Hawaii, the
second important subject, a measure be-
ing introduced to that effect. The third
is the building up Of a merchant marine
by subsidies as recommended in the
presidents message. Il bill introduced
to amend the navigation laws has
brought this discussion up early.
The expansion policy in general is going
to develop many warm issues in con
gress and many measures OF weighty in
terest to the country.
