our listless apathy in not showing up to the world what we have for them. We must not overlook the fact that We have active enemies to work on all sides of Us. The steamboat companies are using vast wealth in their hands to sub sidize the press to dctract attention from Wrangel in order to secure the increased compensation through the longer haul. The newspaper corres- pondents realizing that the world is now ripe for anything sensational con ccrning Alaska, eagerly seize hold of the falsehoods and ovcrdrawn tales of the tenderfoot and grub-staked miners and circulate them far and near. And sad as it may seem, it is yet true, our stranger get off one of the boats pass ing through our town, and take d stroll down our main street and talk with our business men, repeat. with our busi- ness men. not mentioning the warefarer who has no permanent interests to maintain here. and he finds himself breathing an air of pcsslmism, of dis content, of gloomy forebodngs -"Oh. Wrangel is dead. There is no promise of a change. God pity the poor devil who is stranded here.' and the strang- CT departs from here with the feeling that there is imprinted over the en- trance to Wrangel the inscription that adorns the portals to Dante's Hell. All hope abandon. ye that enter here.
 Now, Mr. Chairman, it seems to me that. if the star of hope had sunk in the Armament of my being to the tip end of my toe nails, that if the prospect was so gloomy that "beneath the low est deep, lower deep still threaten ing to devOur me, opened wide." that then. even then. would assume an air of sanguineness even if did not possess it, and would live in hopes, if had to die in despair.
 The motion desire to make is this: That we submit to the executive com mittee appointed this evening the con sideration of drafting and sending on to Washington, to the chairman of the Peace Committee, about to meet to ar range the boundary question, me morial embodying the following peti- tion: That it is the sense and desire of the people of Wrangcl, or the Cham Der of Commerce. that all Canadian goods coming from Canadian territory passing through Wrangel into Canad- ian territory, be exempt from all ex- actions in the way of bonding, convoy ing etc, now imposed upon them.'

Value of Vital Statistics.

The keeping of general statistics in
regard to life and health has been the
best sanitary measure ever adopted.
Ii an unusual number of deaths oc-
cured In any given locality, investiga-
ton has at once thus been directed to
the cause. 1t has been shown that
mortality is the highest in overcrowd-
ed slum districts of the cities. I'm
mediately thereupon measures have
been taken to pull down the over
crowded, unsanitary buildings, to
scatter the population and to make
them observe more cleanly habits. If
an epidemic or contagious disease
prevailed, the friendly statistics show
ed that, too, and Immediately health
authorities studied to provide re-
medles and take precautions against
the spread of the sickness.
Nearly 60 years ago Mr.. William
Farr, who became associated with the
English health registry office, recom-
mended that strict record be kept
OF every case of illness from any cause
whatever in each small district, so
that every time anybody was sick in
the whole United Kingdom it might
be noted down. This plan ought to
be adopted everywhere. The fact that
public record would be kept of him
and his case every time a person had
an illness of any sort would go far
toward frightening people into keeping
perfectly well.

Railroad Earnings Shov Good Increase,
Large Orders Taken by WeoIen Manufacture
ers at Satisfactory Prices.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of trade says in its issue of this week
The year has opened with very
satisfactory prospect. 1t is all the
better that there is no wild excitement
in the speculative markets, and while
stocks advance a little grains yield a
little.
Earnings of all railroads in the
United States reporting for Decem-
Der, S43,3o4,279, indicate substanti-
ally the same rate of increase exceed
ing last years by 1875 per cent, and
the earnings for 1892 for the sans
roads by I.5 per cent. Since 1892 was
on the whole the most prosperous year
thus far, comparisons indicate, not
wlthstanding the lowest prices ever
known, that the volume of business is
larger, and in spite of some cutting in
rates, the earnings of railroads are
larger than in the best year of past
history.
The iron furnaces in blast January
report an output of 226, 6,6o8 tons
weekly against 226,o24 weekly Dec.
ember I, with an increase of I2, ,481
tons in the unsold stocks held by
furnaces. While this shows a con-
sumption 523 per cent. larger than a
year ago, there would be discouraging
indications of consumption but for the
fact that several furnaces were stop
ped for the holidays, and these, with
several others, have started since jan
uary I, while the demand for finished
products does not diminish.
The Pennsylvania railroad has abb
sorded 10000 tons steel rails and a
new railroad in Maine $4,000 tons,
and other orders for cars, railroad sup
plies, plates, bars and structural mat
erlal are unusually large for the sea-
son.
The wooden manufacturers have
been buying wool largely and for rea.
sons not publicly explained. 1t is evil
dent that large orders have been taken
by the leading mills and at prices
which they find satisfactory, and the
rush of small mills to buy wool has
made most of the market during the
week, although sales have declined
about forty per cent. compared with
the previous week.
Failures for the week have been
345 in the United States against ASS
last year, and forty-fve in Canada
against seventy-one last year.

School Girls Buy Cigarettes,
Whole Schools Being Corrupted by the
Smoking Habit.

The cigarette habit has grown to
such an extent among the pupils of
the Homestead public schools that
Superintendent John C. Kendall pro-
poses to resort to radical means to
suppress it. The habit is not confined
to the boys. Recently the male pupils
here persuaded some of the girls to
buy cigarettes instead of candy, and
but for the timely discovery of their
inclination to yield, cigarette smoking
would doubtless have become general
among the pupils regardless of sex.
In view of the gravity of the situa-
tion Superintendent Kendall has de-
clded to enforce the law relating to
cigarette dealers, which makes them
liable to fine of $500 for selling
cigarettes to boys under sixteen years
of age.

Hurst Will Umpire.

No less than 800 umpires and
gentlemen who believe they are pless-
ed with base ball wisdom have ap-
piled to President Nick Young for the
positions that have been created
under the double umpire system, and
he is having merry time wedding
out the good from the bad. Up tc
date he has selected two new officials,
and their names are given here for
the first time. They are Ed. Swart-
wood, a member of last years East
ern League staff, and Tom Connolly,
an umpire in the New England
League. Although Tim Hurst, of Ash.
land, was not an applicant, he has
been asked by President Young tc
hand in an application at an early
date, with every assurance that he
will be selected.

Suicide by Rope and Bullet.
Rejected Young Sutor Made Death DoubI,
Sure.

Unwilling to trust to either rope or
pistol singly to end his life, Christian
N. Holslnger of Lancaster, last Friday
used both. Having adjusted a rope
about his neck and tied the other end
to rafter IN his uncles barn, at Lin.
coin, Holsinger leaped from a box
that he had improvised as Il scafiold,
at the same time firing a bullet into
his brain.
Holsinger, aged 70, recently pass
ed an examination for admission to
the ranks Of school teachers. The
cause of his suicide was love. A note
was found In his pocket, which read I:
"The one who loved you can see
you no more, and sent this. Forget
me If you can. l am in sorrow and
can bear it no longer. l decided to do
this deed before, but could not because
l loved you too much.
"Send this to Miss Brackbill."
Miss Estelia Brackbill is the daugh-
ter of farmer and hotel.keeper, at
Brownstown, few miles from the
home of young Holsinger, and is IS
years OF age. Holsinger was deeply
in love with her, but his attentions
were not encouraged, and recently
the young woman manifested a cool
ness that, it is supposed, drove him
to his rash act.

BASEBALL MATTERS.
Meeting Of the League Soon-The William
sport Demorests.

The Demorest management have
signed complete team for the CON-
ing season, and in it there will be but
two familiar taces-"Cappy" Martin
and "Jimmy" Delaney. The con-
tracts have been signed, and the play
ers will report as soon as the season
opens. The team is an aggregation
of hard hitters, and five of them are
college men. They are as follows /:
Frank Spranger, of Detroit, catcher,
who will probably captain the team,
good hitter and coacher George
B. Hayes, of Fordham college, 81
catcher, now studying law in New
York city; M Jacobs, of Pittsburg,
first base, a six-footer who last year
played with Albion N. Y; "Cappy"
Martin, second base A. Courtmarsh,
short stop, crack-a-jack from AL
bany and Montreal Fred Cargo,
third base, a brother of "Bobby"
Cargo, and a good one Harry P.
Folsum, New York city, left field,
who aspires to the National League
B. E. Hamlin, Attleboro, Mass. a
Maine state college man, for centre
field or short stop; Lewis w. Metz,
of Cumberland, Md, who played in
1896 with the Hartford Atlantic
League team, outfeld, or substitute
third base. The pitchers are to be
Charles Gehring, a south-paw from
Dennison, o., who won 70 out of &c
games in the Iron and Oil League in
1896 o. L. Kiehl, Chicago, who has
a record of 22 strike-outs in a game
and Jimmy" Delaney. The first
two pitchers are college men. 1t is
believed that none of the new men
are drinkers, which will do away with
the chief cause of the failure last
year.
A meeting of the Central League
will be held in Milton on Saturday
afternoon, Feb. S, at 2 p. m. If
President Miller refuses to officially
call the NEE ting, the managers will do
SD.
Roach and Cody, of Remove, will
stay at home this year, and organize a
Remove team. They may ask for
admission to the league.
There will probably be no prelimi-
nary season this year, the management

season opens, and playing practice
games without spectators looking on.

MANY APPLICATIONS
Being Made fer the Bonds OF the War
Loan.

The banks did quite a business. I7ri
oay' IN the way of receiving applica-
tons for the government bonds in the
war loan of 100000 900, which is to be
raised by popular subscription.
About all the banks had the applca-
ton blanks upon which the applca-
ton for the bonds have to be made. In
some OF the large cities, Boston for in
stance, the banks had hard task to
get the application blanks, on account
of the great demand for them. Some
of the banks could get only one blank.
In one case q bank had a fac SMILES
of the applications printed at their own
expense.
The applications are for amounts not
larger than $500. none smaller than $50,
and no one person or firm, can make
application for more than one $500
bond. In consequence every banking
firm is having it's customers subscribe
for the bonds while they subscribe per
sonally and they will take their Gus
TONER'S bonds from their hands later
if they wish.
The applications ct some of the Au-
gusta banks came in very brislly. Fri
day.
Receipt Of applications will continue
until July II. when the bonds will be
awarded. Those who subscribe for the
$50 bonds will be the first to he accom-
modatcd. and 50 on up to the $500
bonds, which includes those at $50 and
at 500.
Whatever remains unsubscribed at
the date of July il, viii be awarded in
as large sums as may be subscribed
for, but at present reports it looks as
though there Will be none left as the
application for the small bonds is OK
pccted to take up the whole of the is
sue.
Application can be made through the
banks, the express office or the post of
flee. The loan is explained more in
