West Eud, 18th Dec. 1898.

So common has 1t become to hear Of cases
of stabbing among the lahouring GLASS that
I'm almost in doubt whether ! should
bother to mention what il now almost an
every day occurrence. The public of course only
hears it when death is the result TO one of
the parties, but the hospital Doctor could
undoubtedly tell Of many cases, where it WINS
"irst near it," The Courts distinguish be-
tween murder and manslauglter Of course,
and | suppose in the strictly technical sense
murders are extremely r re, but to the ordi'
nary beholder eix inches Of cold steel be-
tweent he ribs must be inst as unpleasant to
the. receiver, and has the same effect on
him whether lie is murdered or matslaugh-
tered, but in any case the pGmtshment Us
actunI3y carried out under our present sys-
TEN, is f~earfully inadequate.
Another unfortunate being has fallen n
victim to the knife. Last evening q laborer
from Est. Adventure, one KirtOn came in
town to deliver himself up to the Authorities
ma having dispatched a CO labourer Joseph
Edwards, Ivy stabbing him in the neck.
1t appears that they had been engaged in
the fascinating, and in itself innocent game
which boys delight in, viz: marbles. But
in this insAnce the stake was not the painted
stones, but "ilIhy luore." / understood
Kirton lost three cents which amount he was
gong 10 nIR mouse w SeG W pay thlS uoDt "
honor, when Edwards, being displeased at
not getting paid on the spot, began chncking
KirtoG>, and rs tlIe Inter showed him off, tell
ing him to behave himself. Edwards cut him
on his hand, whereupOn Kirion returned the
compliment fatally with no intention how
ever, that it should prove so.
The free use Of the knife in hacking ench
other, upon the slightest provocation, among
the lower classes, is simply alarming and Is
much to be dcplored.
Some mouths ago two men were engng.d
in q fight when one drew his knife an
cut the other; Que of the bystandrIs
quickly laid on with full force some sound
blows with a stout whip, upon the fellow;
The snddenness Of the attack and the un-
pleasant feeling which perv"ded his bock at
the quick succession of blows so bewildered
him, that liz. immediately gave up his butch
Crly intention ard handed the knife 70 his
chastisey, who then conducted him "north'
where he received due attention.
D Tiis leads me to Think that after all there
is nothing like u god sounde doggi"g t. take

SNUGGLERS SNUG HARBOR
ILLICIT TRADING ON SCIENTIFIC
PRINCIPLES.
Vast and Extensive Works on the
Coast of England Testify to the In
dustry of Outlaws.

From the South African Review: \
very curious feature of the coasts of
England, where rocky or wild, is the
trenched and banked up paths from
the caves along the coast. These are
noticeable in Devon and Cornwall and
along the Bristol channel. That ter
rible sea front consists of precipitous
walls of rock, with here and there
dip, where a brawling stream has
sawed its course down to the sea, and
here there is, perhaps, sandy shore
of diminutive proportions, and the
rocks around are pierced in all direc
tions with caverns. The smugglers
formerly ran their goods into these
caves, when the weather permitted,
or the preventive men were not on
the lookout. They slowed away their
goods in the caves and gave notice to
the farmers and gentry of the neigh
borhood, all of whom were provided
with numerous donkeys, which were
thenceforth sent down to the caches,
and the kegs and bales were removed
under cover of night or of a storm
As an excuse for keeping droves Of
donkeys it was pretended that the
sea sand and the kelp served as an adj
mirable dressing for the land, and no
doubt so they did. The trains of as
ses sometimes came up laden with
sacks of sand, but not infrequently
with kegs of brandy.
Now wary preventive man might
watch too narrowly the proceedings
of these trains of asses. Accordingly
squires, yoemen and farmers alike set
to work to cut deep ways in the face
of the downs, along the slopes of the
hills, and bank them up so that the
whole caravan of laden beasts might
travel uD and down absolutely unseen
from the sea and greatly screened
from the land side. Unquestionably
the sunken ways and high banks are
a great protection against the wealth
err. So they were represented to be
and no doubt greatly were the good
folks commended for their considera.
ton for the beasts and their drivers
in thus at great cost shutting them
off from the violence of the gale. New.
ertheless, it can hardly be doubted
that concealment from the eye of the
coast guard was sought by this means
quite as much, if not more, than the
sheltering of the beasts of burden
from the weather.

Lord Salisbury was denounced for

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea, accompanied by
vomiting. l gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief, we sent for n
physician and it was under his care
for a week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tons of the bowels every twelve hours,
and we were convinced that unless IT
soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and decided to try it. I soon noticed
change for the better; by its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and it is now perfectly

NEWS COMES HIGH.
Chicago Papers Double the Price
Charged to Patrons.


CHICAGO. July 2S.-There is to be
another radical change in the price of
Chicago morning newspapers, which
will go into effect August list. This
time the price will be raised from
to 2 cents. The recent advance in the
price of white paper and the addition
al expense incurred in obtaining war
news are given as the causes for the
increase.
In the editorials today in the Times
Herald, Chronicle and Inter Ocean the
announcement of the raise is made.
The Tribune and record will follow
suit. The Sunday papers, as hereto
fore, will be sold at 3 cents a copy,
and out of town subscribers will re-
ceive their papers at the usual coun-
try price, . cents. The evening pa
pers, with the exception of the Post
will continue to sell for 1 cent.
For many years the Chicago morn
ing papers were sold for cents a
copy, a cut to 3 cents was made and
later to cents, in 1889. Two years
ago the Tribune led the reduction to
/ cent, and / cent has been the price
of all the papers ever since.

She Took the Hint.

At home stations the private soldiers washing is actually done by the married soldiers wives, who are expected to sew on missing buttons and do repairs, for which q small sum is deducted from the priyate's pay. Pat McGinnis had a good deal of trouble with his laundress; Sunday after Sunday had his shirt come down with the neck button off, or else hanging by q thread. He had spoken to her on the subject, and she had prom ised to see to it, but the button wGs not on properly. He got out of patience one Sunday when the missing button had made him late for parade, and eX- claimed: "Bother the woman! I'll see if I can't give her hint this time, any how" He then took the lid of tin backing box, about three inches in di- ameter, drilled two holes in it with q fork. and sewed it on to the neck Of the shirt that was next to be washed. When his washing came back he found that she had taken the hint; she had made buttonhole to fit it.-Detroit Free Press.

He im- piled with an oath that it did. 1 in- stantly hit him on the jaw and knocked him down, just as he raised his hands to attack me-,
 Getting partially up he caught my legs and tried to throw me backward, but l leaned forward, and, throwing my left arm around his neck, raised his head and uppercut him with my right. catching him between the eyes, cutting his nose and discoloring his eye. He dropped to his knees, still holding my legs and trying to throw me. took hold of his hips and turned him onto his back and landed on top of him.
 "Then he began to beg, and called to the crowd to take me off. But the boys replied: Oh, no. he needs little more And they encouraged me to beat him badly. But did not hit him while he was down, and when he said he was satisfied with everything let him up. And as soon as I did so he picked up his hat and ran up the street as fast as he could. In a couple of days he left the country.
 There is time when it is manly to fight, and Christian is not a vim less, muscleless, useless creature. l

4 NEW TRAINING SHIP.
It Is Being Built for the Cadets at
 Annapolis.
When Finished It WiI He One of the Finest Vessels Of It's Kind That Uncle sam Ever
 Owned.
tCopyright. lSss.1

When the naval cadets in the United States naval academy at Annapolis go on their annual cruise next season it will be in a full-rgged sailing ship, which will me a model of the kind. As yet it has DO name, the bestewal there of being reserved for the occasion when it slides eff the ways and takes its first dip of sea water.
 Many persons who are not familiar with the navy and the knowledge that it is necessary an officer therein should possess are apt to believe that it is not essential nowadays that naval men should be thoroughly familiar with all that pertains to sailing vessel. This is mistake, for the officers of the navy are supposed to be able to sail a ship that has either sails or steam for the purpose of forcing it's way through the water.
 As in all other lines of life, there have been improvements in sailing vessels which it wns almost impossible to make the training ship previously used by the cadets at Annapolis represent. For this reason it was decided that it would be wise thing to have vessel con- structed that in all details would ena- ble the cadets 10 learn seamanship in the most modern way. The new craft promises to be what is called delight to the seamans eye. Her length on the water line will be 175 feet. The breadth at the water line will be 37 feet. Her forward draft will be 15 feet inches. Her draft aft will be r feet inches. Her mean draft will be 16 feet inches and her displacement about 1.175 tons.
 To be sure there will be steam on board the vessel. for in her equipment are two small boilers whose purpose vii

Copyright, 1898.

Rev. Stanley B. Wilson. of Ramona, Cal, combines his duties as preacher with those of the associate editor of the village paper. MT. Wilson is not small man, as he stands six feet high and weighs 1S1 pounds. He be- lieyes, however, that there is a time to fight as well as pray, and the Gospel of turning the other cheek 10 those who attack is not followed by him.
 This latter fact he has recently dem onstrated in a somewhat sensational fashion, and thus gained for himself a reputation as one of the members in good standing of the church militant The accompanying picture represents Mr. Wilson in what he considers a cor rect attitude when the spirit of battle comes upon him, and if he wrestles as stoutly with evil as he did with big Dave Putnam his chances of accom- plishing much good are very bright in deed. How the event which is bring ing much congratulation to Mr. Will sen happened is told by himself as fol- lows:
 "A few months ago our Julian corre- spondent commented sharply upon the actions of Dave Putnam. a large, mus cular teamster, Putnam having jumped upon another teamster much smaller than himself while the fellow was ty-
