HUMAN IGNORANCE.

A child was asked to name the
principal organs OF the human body
and this was his reply: "The organs
Of the human body are the heart,
lungs and other utensils" The TO-
norance of many adults about the
human body is actually appalling,
Constipation is considered nothing,
Indigestion is annoying but nothing
serious. Biiousnesss brings meldn'
cholia, but then luck is blamed and
not the liver, A dose of Hostetter's

THE LITTLE GREEN ISLE.

The visit of the lord mayor of Dub
lin and of Hon. John Redmond to the
various cities of the country in their
efforts to raise funds for the purchase
of the estate of the late John Stewart
Parnell and for the erection of a monu-
ment to the illustrious Irish statesman's
memory, is meeting with the hearty ap-
proval of the Irish people and they are
contributing literally to the cause. The
bond of friendship existing between our
people and those of the island-country
across the Atlantic is by this friendly
visit being more firmly cemented. The
cause of Ireland has always met with
q responsive chord in the hearts of our
people and this visit of two of her rep
resentative statesmen is but another
occasion for the outpouring of love and
sympathy. Now that a sum sufficient for
the purpose has been subscribed, and
the delegates are about to return to
their native country, Americans gen
orally and Irishmen especially will wish
them hearty God-speed.

THE ADVANCE in COAL.

All the conditions in the coal market
lead to the belief that the situation ia
rapidly assuming really alarming fea-
lures with no apparent way of avoid
ing the pronounced scarcity before the
winter is very far advanced Where
coal Is absolutely needed, the question
of price is a secondary consideration.
The natural consumption is coupled
with the extra demand on the part Of
dealers, who are anticipating orders
later III the season, and purchasing all
possible supplies. evidently to be sold
at prices considerably above those now
ruling.
In the anthracite trade it is
rumored that the new price sched
ules will be issued December /.
making an advance of % per cent per
ton. One prominent coal dealer says
that people who have coal to Sell can
get at least Is cents a ton more now
than is quoted in the last circular. With
insufficient car facilities and extreme
cold weather, it is not hard to see that
it will be an easy matter to establish
higher prices all around. The market
is very firm, dealers continuing ad-
vances and with every prospect Of
holding their position. Everything is
ripe for another advance at almost any
moment, should the stringency become
intense.

DEATH OF REV. SAMUEL MAY.

The death of the Rev. Samuel May OF
Leicester means the passing of one who,
half-century ago, was prominent in
that great moral wave which swept
throughout the north and which had as
it's aim and purpose the abolition of
slavery. He was one Of the most con-
spicuous men of his time in New Eng
land, and together with a few other IL
lustrious men, was instrumental in
causing the downfall of that abominable
traffic Like his illustrious father, Sam
uel May continued in the ministry and
proved himself power for good in the
community. He had the rare. good sense
and high moral courage when the occa-
sion came, to resign from the church
over which he was then installed, rather
than cause any friction among his pa
rishioners.
Samuel May was one of the old-school
gentlemen. Coming from good old Eng
fish stock, he preserved to the present
generation many of the traits of his
forefathers. A graduate of Harvard
University in one of the earlier classes,
he enjoyed in the last years of his life
the distinction Of being the senior alum
nus of that great seat of learning. He
was fellow classmate of the illus
trious poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Rev. Samuel F. Smith, author of
America and Of other famous men of
the class of 1929. He will be best remem-
bered by our older residents as the
chairman of the committee Of the state
House of Representatives on federal re-
lations, at the time of the anniversary
COMMUNICATING the one hundredth an
niversary of the battle of Bunker Hill
and of Lexington. on which occasion he
took a conspicuous part
While the remaining years of his life
have been quietly passed at his home
on the Leicester hills, he has always
held warm place in the hearts of all
who are interested in religious and edu-
cational work Rev A. H. Coolidge of
this city, himself a retired minister of
the gospel, and lifelong friend of DR.
May, is his best biographer, and it is to
him that we are indebted for the extern
sive life of the venerable anti-slavery
exponent presented in another column.

MASSACHUSETTS STREET RAILWAYS.

The street railways of the state have
made their financial statement for the
year ending Sept. 80 The 27 laads
controlled by the Massachusetts Elec-
trio company show gross earnings of
$4,S21, sos, net $1,745,31S, and balance ap-
plicable for dividends, $447, 1853. Three
roads, the Nashua, Newport, and New
port ana Fall River, controlled by the
company do not render accounts in this
state. Their earnings for the past wear
have not been published, but should be
added TO the above, These figures do
not give an altogether accurate view of
the cOmpany's condition. Several of the
roads are operated only during a few
months OF the year, as they are of re-
cent construction. Others have extend
ed their lines into new sections at con-
siderable expense, while the revenue
from the additional traffic figures for a
small amount. The totals show that
the earnings of the full per cent to the
preferred dividend is practically certain
under any condition. Economies of on
Grafton and additional traffic through
the cooperation of the several roads
will increase the earnings during the
current and following years. AS the
Massachusetts Electric company oper-
ated these lines only four months of
the year, it will be seen by the above
figures, these factors are not felt. 1t
is apparent that the necessary expendi-
lures for the railroads expenses will
prevent any dividend being distributed
on the common stocks for some time to
come
