THURSDAY, SEPT. 81, 1899.

The question of the hour is, how to
restrain or limit the operations of the
so-called trusts without blocking the
wheels of progress, destroying the in
dustries of the country, checking or
fatally injuring the visible prosperity
on every hand, reducing the customs
receipts, driving capital from invest
ment to inactivity and paralyzing trade
and commerce. Better the trusts as
they are than To take such drastic
measures as would plunge the country
again into the stagnation that prevail
ed few years ago and from which we
are now emerging. The wisest states.
manship is required To adjust trade re-
lations, and the subject should be be-
yond aud higher than the reach of
partizanship or the grasp of the dema-
gogue. A notable meeting Is now being
held in Chicago To consider the mo-
mentous question of trusts, and it is
hoped some method will be evolved
that may lead to peaceable settle
ment of the subject and not convulse
the country by plunging it into the
throes of an industrial revolution.
Moderation and liberation is better
than arbitrary methods. -Coldwater
Courier and Republican.

HAYTIEN CONSERVATISM.
Discard innovations and Stick TO the
old LabOrious Method of
Doing Things.

The Haytien is a wonderful example
of conservatism. What was, must be
right. A few years ago the town Of
Port de Paix, owing to an unexpected
progressive spirit on the part Of the
government, constructed some fine wa
terworlls. The town was we'll piped,
with hydrants at short distances on ali
the streets. Decorative fountains were
placed in the squares, drinking places
for man and beast everywhere. The ma
tives, as usual, took not the slightest
interest in this important and neces-
sary undertaking. At last, when COM
pleted, in accordance with the custom
of the country, the water system was
opened with a series of fetes. The
whole section of the country had a hila-
rious holiday-balls, professions, cock
fights, etc. When these were all over.
says Harper's Magazine, the natives
came to the conclusion that the water
works must have been built to give an
excuse for them, and the waterworks
were no longer of any service, so they
promptly smashed the whole system
upand returned to carting the city's VIA
ter from the distant river by OK teams.
Now they tie their animals TO the hy-
drants, fall over the fragments Of the
pipes scattered round the streets, and
are happy.

MADE HEIR TO A rHRoNE
Son of Queen Vietcria's Fourth Son
Is In Line, Through sew
erni Renouncesnents.

Qneen Nictoria's sons have inherited
from their father, the prince cousort, %
petty principality and throne in Ger
many. This is Saxe-Coburg and Gotha,
a duchy with territory of about $50
square les-three-fourths Of the area
OF Rhode lsland-and a population ex-
ceeding 100000 1t is not a stronghold
of power and influence, but good deal
of money goes with it, and makes il
worth while to keep it in the family.
The prince of Wales renounced his
rights to the duchy because he was heir
to the English throne. The duke OF
Edinburgh accepted the inheritance,
but he has no son to succeed him. The
duke of Connaught was the next in
line, but he and his son have renounced
their rights The heir to the throne is
the son of the late duke of Albany, the
queens fourth son.
He is a schoolboy, in his fifteenth
year, and has no prospects in England.
He will now go to Germany to finish his
education, and win cease TO be an Eng
lish prince. He will owe allegiance to
the German emperor, and will probably
serve his time in the army.
The Inheritance has been arranged
by Queen Victoria, whose will is law
in the English royal family. She has
provided for one of her favorite grand
sons snug and comfortable little
throne on the continent, where he will
have little to do, and where his income
will be large.-Youth's Companion.

SMART wooDPEcKERs.
They Drop DRd-smeIlins Berries Into
Hollow Trees to Drive
Grubs Out.

Prof. Eastman j. Clarke, with party
Of students from Connecticut, has lust
returned from a long trip after natural
history specimens in the Maine woods.
Some weeks ago, while on the head
waters Of the Allagash, he says he found
a family of downy woodpeckers which
seemed TO be endowed with more intel
ligence than falls to the lot of the av-
erage bird. Woodpeclers feed upon
worms that burrow into trees. As an
active 5orer makes gallery three or
four feet long in a single season, the
woodpecker is often obliged to make
many punctures in order to get at his
prey. The family of birds which same
under Prof. Clarke's eye has adopted a
labor-saving device which has proved of
great service. The rankest plant that
grows in the Maine woods is the India
poke, the berries of which are charged
with an alkaline juice that IS very Of
fensiye TO all animal life. According to
Prof. Clarke, the Allagash woodpeckers.
having opened up a gallery made by a
borer, drop pokeberries in the orifice
The berries give out such an odor that
the grubs are forced to come outside
for fresh air, and the woodpeeker does
the rest.

troubles before he was really welded,
and as "Jack" puts it, he had d.
hard time"
Moriarity's marriage was announced
in the papers as having taken place at
St. Marys Church, this city on We'd
Desday last, but the ceremony was per-
formed at St. Johns Church, Philadel-
phia, last evening, at o'clock.
The couple came here from Philadel~
phia to be married, but as the bride,
Miss Nettie c. COughlin, was not a
member of st. Mary's Church parish,
Father Kelly declined to perform the
ceremony, and the couple were COM
PEELED to go to Philadelphia to the
church of which parish the bride be-
longed. Arriving in Philadelphia,
Jack" found that the marriage license
procured in Delaware would not be rec
ognized in Pennsylvania, and he was
required to take out another license in
that state. After securing the neces-
sary paper, Moriarity had to return TO
Wilmington and procure a dispensation
TO permit his marriage by a Philadel-
phia priest.
The ceremony was finally performed
and the bride and groom returned to
this city last evening and were given a
reception at the residence Of Mrs. Will

ceived the congratulations of a mum
