The flag over the United States

To the Diplomatic and Consular Off
GERS of the United States.
Gentlemen: 1t becomes my painful
duty to announce the death Yesterday
at "Karlstein,' near Dedham, Mass,
of Thomas Francis Bayard, disting-
uished citizen, formerly Secretary of
State of the United States.
Mr.. BaNard served the people of the
United States i'm many and important
capacities; as a Senator of the United
States from the State of Delaware
from 1869 to 1855, as Secretary of
State of the United States from 1855
to 1859, and as Ambassador EXtraor-
binary and Flenipotentiary of the
United States to Great Britain from
1898 to 1897.
In each of these capacities his ca
reer was marked by great usefulness
in which abilities of high order
were applied with unfailing devotion
and fidelity to the performance of all
public trusts.
His private life was pure and un-
stained. his services to the people of
the United States were unuuestion-
ably great, and his memory will be
cherished with affection and respect
by his countrymen.
AS a tribute of respect. you will
cause the flag of the United States ia

respective offices for a period of ten
days from the receipt by you of this
notification.
| am, gentlemen. respectfully yours,

this trip made a solemn vow never to
be caught mapping again; he was de-
iermined TO balk the officers by ma
neuvering his vessel 50 as to prevent
their approaching within the neces-
sary distance. On this occasion he
had worked his sturdy little round
bowed "pinkey," without mishap, TO a
certain point in the Gut of Canso, when
just at dark the wind failed him en-
tirely, and he was obliged TO anchor
In a position which, as he well knew.
exposed him 10 a visit from one of the
detested government boats. Being SO
far advanced ipto that moisture-laden
CLINE, il is but reasonable TO surmise
that he had taken his usual method Of
clearing the cobwebs from his eyes;
and on this particular night, with the
laudable design OF frustrating any visit
from the greedy hirelings of her
Brittanic majesty, he doubtless deemed
it eXpedient 10 sharpen his vision by

THE TEST OF PROSPERITY.
All Records Beaten I'm the Decrease OF
Failures and at Liabilities.

In summing up the statistics of com
mercial failures for the calendar year
1907, Dun's Review finds that "in fail
ures 1897 was not only the best year
since 1892, but on the whole the best
ever definitely known"
From the same non-partisan and un-
improbable authority the fact APP
pears that as compared with 1896 the
failures for 1897 were in number IL 8
per cent. less and in defaulted liabili-
ties "a per cent. less. Moreover, the
year itself showed remarkable de-
crease in the number and character OF
these commercial casualties, comparing
the second half with the first half Of
1897. The Review comments as follows
upon this showing;
This remarkably heavy decrease in all
branches. with the extremely low average
OF liabilities, was due TO an Improvement
during the last half year which has not
been equaled IN the % years covered by
the quarterly record. The average OF la
bllitles for failures In the last half OF 1897
was only 81 $685. which has never been
equaled in any other half year.

THRouGHouT

THROUGHOUT the length and
breadth OF that once fourishing
little settlement known as Brandou's
Cove, Skipper Tobias Perkins was noted
for his singular faculty of seeing
through fog, and was, on this account,
esteemed most valuable man 10 have
on board any Of the numerous sail of
fishermen then owned at the Cove.
While at times his eyesight was re-
markable, il was generally under
stood that a moderate quantity OF cd
New England rum sharpened his vision
10 a marked extent; and as the vessels
were then always provided with this
commodity, Skipper Tobias, though sci-
dom If ever really drunk, was common
ly prepared for encountering the dens-
est yapor produced in the Bay of Fun
DIV. But the worthy mariner had still
greater local fame as the hero Of a
most wonderful affair in the Gut of
Canso, while on a coddshing trip in the
pinkey schooner "Chnnticleer," Of
which he was half owner
At that time il was the custom Of the
Dominion authorities to collect what
was known as light money" from all
American vessels visiting those waters;
The cash thus obtained going toward
the support Of lighthouses, buoys and
the like, on the coast. This practice,
together with some others, was the oc-
casion OF endless friction between the
Yankee crews and their provincial
reighbors. The lighthouse tax was
levied at so much per ton OF the yes
sells capacity, and i'm the case Of the
"Chanticleer," would only amount 10
seine Si2; but what rendered its eN-
action especially CALLING to the fisher
men was the fact that the lighthouses
were few In number, small, and. as a
rule, but poorly equipped, SO that the of
ficcrs collecting the tax were often
tainted with burning dogfist oil IN
their lights.
Buoys were to be met With only at
rare intervals, though in some harbors
prl,ate individuals attempted to exc
out their incomes by placing spruce
poles on certain distractions TO naviga-
ton, and soliciting their reward from
visiting vessels. As our government
exacted no such lighthouse tax from
foreign vessels, II was generally con
sidered the proper thing 60 evadc II, II
possible. and in order 60 DO this, II was
only necessary 20 keep out OF hailing
distance Of the boats crews stationed
here and there 10 collect these dues.
Could Graf, manage to do this she
was not liable &c the tax-just as Is
to-day the case on our own shores in re-
gard TO collecting pilotage fees.
Now skipper Tobias. having recently
been feeccd, as he regarded IL, had on
