can fishermen most all of the privileges
referred to. whenever under special cir
cumstances they have put in REQUEST
to be permitted to enjoy them. This
course of action is strongly disap-
proved however, by Canadian fisher
men.
"A Canadian fisherman and an Amer
lean fisherman are fishing side by side
on the banks. The American fisherman
sells his fish free of duty in the Unit
ed States The Canadian fisherman has
to pay q duty on his fish going 70 the
United States; and when in addition, he
is asked in the teeth Of the treaty of
1915 to give his rival all the ease
ments and conveyances involved in the
commercial privileges obtainable in
Canadian ports, he feels that he is being
asked to assist that rival in compass
ing his further injury 1t is only nat
ural that the Canadians should expect
free fish in return for the concession
of those easements.
1.-THE present Canadian government
seems most anxious to have this ques-
ton settled. 1t would infinitely pre-
fer friendly adjustment, commercial
privileges in Canadian ports being ex-
changed for the free admission of Ca
madam fish into the United States. If
this is not done, there is no alternative
before it but to enforce the treaty. The
matter is one of no particular import
ance to the United States, the fishing
industry Of New England being now
relatively of no great account, and ev-
cry friend of peace and amity between
the two countries must earnestly hope
that a way out of the difficulty may be
found along the lines suggested"

SMALL LONDON PARISHES.
lFrom the London News.l


The house mentioned in Thursdays
Daily News as standing in six different
parishes in the city of London, affords
q singular instance Of the involved state
Of municipal affairs in that crowded
square mile ruled over by the city cor
poration In that small area there are
over go parishes, none of them, as may
well be supposed, of any great dimen-
sions, but some Of an almost inconceiv-
ably small size. The parish of st.
Mary Mountain, for instance, which
consists Of six houses and is the small
est parish in the city, may well be
ranked as a prime curiosity This odd
parish stands at the corner Of Queen
Victoria and Friday streets, and has
not possessed a church since the great
fire OF London in 1866, when it was
burned down with many more, never
to be rebuilt. What we may well call
the Surname" of the parish either is
derived from some forgotten benefactor
whose name was. attached to 1t, just as
we find a neighboring parish called st.
Margaret Moses" and another est Be-
net Fink; or from some geographical
popularity, which accounts for the
names of 'tAll Hallows, Honey-laneH
and "St. Mary Old Fish street HILL
The need Of these rather cumbrous
identifications is obvious when it is
said that there We're six or seven par
ishes of st. Mary in the city, together
with other saints equally well repre-
scented. st. Mary. Mountain was orig
inally somewhat larger than now, but
was reduced to it's present tiny dinen-
sions when the clearances Of house
property We're made for the construc-
ton of Queen Victoria street, some 80
years since.

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. f. I. Bell, highly-esteemed
minister residing in Westport, Cayuga
county, n. Y, in a recent letter writes
as follows: There has never been any
thing that I have taken that has re-
lieved the dyspepsia from which L have
suffered for ten years except the new
remedy called Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets Since taking them l have had
no distress at all after eating, and
again after long years can sleep well.
Rev. r. J. Bell, Westport, N. y, form
erly Idalia, Col
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of in
digestion, but because it seems to act
as thoroughly in old chronic cases of
dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks OF
indigestion or biliOusness. A person
has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is oVerworked; all it wants Is
a harmless vegetable remedy to digest
the food, and thus give it the much
needed rest.
This is the secret Of the success OF
this peculiar remedy. No matterhoW
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be, Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food, whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach, but to every organ and nerve
| in the body A trial of this splendid
medicine will convince the most skep-
teal that dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets are
prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co. OF
Marshall, Mich; but so popular has
the remedy become that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can now be obtained al
any drug store at SO cents per package

THE PAYMAsTeR.
He is at Holyoks Today and May Be Here
Saturday.

The paymaster of the Second regi-
ment will pay off Co. d at Holyoke to-
day. If he completes his work in that
city this morning he will make the boys
of company l at Northampton happy
this afternoon. From Northampton he
goes to North Adams, from that town
to Orange, to Gardner and last of all
to Worcester.
Major Sherman may reach Worcester
tomorrow, but the chances are that he
win not make his appearance until
Monday. He has notified the captains
of the Worcester companies that he
will telegraph the time of his coming
as soon as possible. The soldiers will
be given sufficient notice to allow them
to reach the armory before Major
Sherman leaves the city.
The major paid the three Springfield
companies yesterday. He completed
his work late in the afternoon and
went to Holyoke.
The work in Springfield was done
very quickly. The captain of the COM
pany called the names of the men. Ma
jor Sherman counted the money and G.
r. Lowell, assistant paymaster, called
the amount due each soldier.
The captains of the Worcester com
panies request their men to be in close
proximity to the armory Saturday. If
they cannot make their appearance
they are requested to give their cap
tain an order for the amount due them.

WHAT IS SUCCESS IN LIFE?
(From ''What Shall Our Boys Do for a
LiVing?O


(From 'What Shall Our Boys Do for
Living?D
To the aspiring youth who is not willing
to take second place, 1 would cite Elmer
sons words: 20 disconnected men. if
there is anything you want, pay the price
and take it," 10 the average beginner l
would add, look around and see what
people in general have achieved, and then
ask yourself: DO / deserve more2
An answer to the question. What is
average success2 is to be found by sum-
marizing the earnings of workers in this
country.
Teachers, clergymen. clerks and book
keepers earn from $500 to $1,000 a year. The
800 600 railroad employees average $50 \
month. The $50 0OO government employees,
excluding heads of departments receive
from $50 to $3.50 month. Even in New
York few professional men earn more
than a competence. The average income
$500 that of lawyers. College -professo rs'
salaries average from $1470 to S20l5 includ-
ing those paid to specialists. Governors
Of the states. on an average, receive only
$4,000. There We're 1860 applicants for the
position of letter carrier in Boston, and
2l00 for a place in the Philadelphia mint.
Positions on the New York police force
occur anywhere with salary of Sl5t9 and
a hundred professional men will strive for
it. 1t is true these may be the younger or
less capable men. but it shows how UNI
certain is their calling. There were 20. 933
names on the New York civil list in 1895
The following were the average salaries:
Teachers. under $1,000; policemen $500;
building inspectors, $3.50; department
clerks $l2l0 to $l50O

WAS NO WONDER
Colonel Marsh Tells Springfield Scholars
Of santlago's Camps.

of Santlago's Camps.
Colonel John f. Marsh of Springfield
who went to Santiago as the repre-
sentative of the Soldiers and Sailors
Aid Association, with supplies for the
men of the Second regiment, made an
address before the Springfield high
school pupils Wednesday. He spoke of
the sanitary condition of the city of
Santiago. His impressions, as printed
in the Springfield News, are interesting.
They are in part as follows:
'The camp seemed badly located, and
an open trench that intersected it, one
of the relics of the July battles, failed
to add salubrity to an atmosphere all
ready overloaded with malarial and
poisonous gases. 1t was rapid exhala%
ton through the hot, scorching, sunny
day, and the precipitation during the
cool night, and woe to the unwary SOL
der who became saturated with those
noxious dews. There was smarting
sensation in my throat for "a hours
until I became partially accustomed to
the poisonous air. There seemed to
have been no effort on the part of brig
AIDE or division commanders, not 10
mention the commanding general, to
inspect the camp and compel the reg'i-
mental commander to observe and en-
force the usual sanitary precautions
absolutely necessary for the comfort
and health of the soldier; and l now
refer not only to the care and policing
Of the camp, but to the handling and
disposal of the subsistence for the men.
1t was a sorry sight to see a regi-
ment filled with young men, the flower
of our youth, few weeks before vigor-
Gus and enthusiastic; without diver
sion, discouraged, or PROSTATE with
disease; etheir enthusiasm a memory
of the past; their only hope the trans
port to take them to the old home.
The hospital was not much better than
the camp and a little stream of water
that struggled near was INSTRUCTED and
polluted
After two nights and part of three
days at the camp / returned Tuesday to
Santiago. General Shafter expressed
surprise when informed of the condi-
ton of the Second Massachusetts regi-
ment; he had observed the Second at
Tampa, and admired the jaunty, trim
appearance of the men. The Ninth he
knew had suffered, for two majors had
died and the colonel and lieutenant
colonel of the regiment were absent on
sick leave.'

TalkedAnaong,
Cuban Heroes.
ROOSEVELT
Is Wanted to Lead for
'Mayoralty.

The soldiers are talking politics these
days, as they are tired of asking ques-
lions about the movements Of Paymas-
ter Sherman. 1t seems to be a general
.opinion among them that a Cuban cam
paigner should be nominated for may
or
The Worcester boys in blue want a
Teddy Roosevelt to vote for on
election day. The officers of the loca,
companies. as well as the men, are ask
ing the question IF Cuban hero
could not carry either party to vic
tory?" The military men say that par
ty affiliations would be thrown aside
and that the votes Of the soldiers and
their friends would be sufficient, in
their opinion to give the military cand-
idate a good majority.
Yesterday the question was discussed
by number of local military men. The
fact that Lieutenant Colonel ShumWay
was republican, and Major Fairbanks
a liberal democrat was spoken Of, anc
the suggestion offered that either mar
would be a credit to his party if he
headed his party's ticket and that both
gentlemen would not only get the en-
tire soldier vote, but would receive the
votes of his party and several votes
from the other side.
The soldiers who are talking politics
have not got to the point where they
have asked either Col. Shumway OF
Maj. Fairbanks if they would allow
their names to be used. But yesterday
1t was said by many military men that
they did not believe that if the right
kind of a pressure was brought to bear
either of the men would refuse to
satisfy the soldiers lodgings and give
them a chance to place in the mayor S
chair a man who so nobly defended
their country and took such excellent
care of the Second regiment during the
war in Cuba.
Both Lieut.. Col. Shumway and Maj
Fairbanks are men that would get the
votes of many thousand of the people
in the middle walks of life, is the ar
gument that is used by the soldiers
and they also argue that either of the
gentlemen would be just as clean in
their political dealings as they We're
during the war.
A well-known politician, when asked
to give an opinion, said:
Either Col. Shumway or Maj. Fair
banks would make formidable oppo-
nents, and, in my opinion, it would be
hard to defeat them. The soldiers and
their sympathizers are many. The
manner in which Worcester has re-
sponded to all calls during the wal
shows the feeling. [ would like to see
either soldier become Worcester
Teddy Roosevelt"

A DELIBERATE JUDGMENT.
(From The Phladelphia. Times.


The verdict of the nation Is unmis-
taxable, and points very strongly to
the election of republican president
in 1900. 1t means that the present
sound financial policy Of this govern
ment must not only be maintained. but
that those who are distrusted on the
issue cannot be given power. II means
that our economic policy shall not be
changed; that liberaiized protection
for our Industries cannot he disturbed;
that enlarged commerce and trade with
other countries shall be inausurated by
the expansion of our territory, and that
a republican congress shall be charged
with the duty of aiding republican
president to gather the full fruits OF
our recent war with Spain. This verdict
given with emphasis under all the adj
verse circumstances Of a nlid-adminis-
tration campaign. must bs accepted as
a deliberate and Anal Judgment on
