Largest Family on Record.

From the London Womans Life.
In the Harleian manuscript Nos. rs
and $50, in the library Of the British
museum, mention is made of the most
extraordinary family that has ever been
known in the worlds history. The par
ties were a Scotch weaver and his wife
mot wives) who We're the father and
mother of So children.
The majority of the offspring Of this
prolific pair were boys-eXactly how
many is not known-for the record
mentions the fact that 46 of the male
children lived to reach manhood's es-
tate, and only four of the daughters
lived to be grown up women. Thirty
nine of the sons We're still living in the
year 1880, the majority of them then
residing in and about Newcastle on
Tyne.
1t is reported in one of the old histo-
ries of Newcastle that "a certyne gen.
tleman Of large estaytes" rode thirty
and-three miles beyond the Tyne to
prove this wonderful story" 1t is fur
Their related that Sir j. Bowers adopted

lily were brought up by the parents.

ing tribute to Governor Smith Is par
ticularly generous, coming as it does
from partisan republican paper, the
Fergus County Argus:
we are almost tempted to apologize
to Governor Smith for every unkind
thing we have ever said about him for
his prompt veto of the gambling bill
and the bill to legalize prizefighting. OF
the former he said it would not produce
revenue for city, county or state, but
would result in official blackmail The
bill was undoubtedly designed to make
gambling easy in several of the larger
cities, and, as we have previously said
would amount to a license to the de-
voices of the green cloth. The governor
thought that prizefighting would tend
to attract an undesirable class to the
state and one which we could we'll get
along without. On these two PROPOSE
tions his head Is level and his heart in
the right place. We have had worse
governors than The present incumbent
Ezra Richards, for instance"

Great Falls, March 20.--PeopIe in this
city We're very much surprised to-day
to receive the news that Melvin Savage
and Mrs. Anna E. McClelland had been
married last week at Ann Harbor
Mich. Mrs. McClelland, who is widow!
of the late j. F. McClelland. former
county treasurer, had resided in this
city for a number of years up to last
fall, when she went to Ann Harbor tC
make her home. She was very popular
in her circle of acquaintance and her
friends wish the couple all happiness
Mr.. Savage was connected with the
custom office In this city from the time
when it was moved here from Fort
Benton. He resigned his position last
summer and went east, presumably tc
engage in business in Chicago. He has
spent the larger part of his life at
Fort Benton and is well known
throughout northern Montana.

Thousands of Trains.

OF the thousands of passenger
trains which arrived and departed
over the ten lines running into the
st. Paul Union depot during the past
year, % per cent of them we're opera
ted by the North-W Western Line,
G. St. p, NJ. & o. railway-while the
company coming next had less than
IA per cent.
The great speed and security with
which this large number of trains
were handled by the Northwestern
Line, comes as result from the fact
that they have more miles of road
equipped with the "block signal sys-
tenn" than has any other line enter
ing the Twin Cities. The North
Western Limited" is the finest train
in the world. There are many little
features possessed by it that are to
be found in no other trains, notably,
the electric lighting effects, etc.,
which all go towards making it SO
comfortable.

SIR WILFRID LAURIER.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Premier of
Canada, by his recent remarks on the
Alaskan boundary question, has at
tracted not little attention. While
his remarks have not been taken very
seriously on either side Of the border,
they, as we'll as the author, are not
less interesting on that account. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier is the first French
Canadian premier. He is leader of
the Liberal party and has long been
prominent in it's councils. He was
born at St. Lin, Que, in 1841, and
came from an excellent old French
family. He finished his education at
the McGill University in Toronto;
has been in politics since 1871, when
he was sent to the Quebec Legislature.
-Four years later he was elected to
the Dominion House of Commons.
His fame came to him first as result
of sensational and eloquent speech
on the Rel rebellion. It was only
short time ago that NJ. Lsurier was
looked upon as an ardent annexa-
ZIONIST. Thus it is seen that politi-
tians who change their minds are
indigenous to no particular country.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1899.
THERE WILL BE NO SPLIT.

There is no doubt of the fact that
there is strong undercurrent OF
sentiment in the Republican ranks
AGAINST the permanent acquisition OF
the Philippine Islands. This is quite
a different sentiment from that OF
YOUR Jealous anti-expansionist, for
the first opinion is matter ofIstates-
manship, the latter of politics. Your
thorough going Democratic politician
is looking for split in the Republi-
can ranks next year which will..sscalry
Bryan into the presidential chair on
sweeping anti-expansion platform
We are inclined to believe that before
that time, Bryan will have the wind
taken out of his sails by the more
sober expressions of the Republican
leaders. The campaign in the1 Phil
ippines will be over by the end.ot an
other dry season, and our government
will be ready to treat with the Philip
pine question on a rational BASIS
The American people will never con-
sent to anything more than protec-
torate over and favorable commercial
treaties with the Philippines and the
successful party will be the one
which advocates this or similar con-
dition. Our obligations to civlliza-
ton make the Philippine question
% 9culiar, but when once the Iwar is
over it will be much simplified,
Ultimately we shall find that when
the glamor of our new experiences is
worn away, the majority Of the Amer
lean people are for continental
expansion, but they do not see any
particular advantage which will result
to us, not even from the ssaltruistic
standpoint, by the permanent control
over the Philippines.

SEVEN years ago on the 18th OF
August, there appeared on the wn-
dow of the Cathol' @ church at Canton,
Mimi, a picture of the Virgin Mary.
It is now reported that on Monday,
the 7th of this month, the picture
appeared again and has been seen by
everybody in the neighborhood.
Seven years ago, the picture created
a great deal of excitement and many
people focked to Canton for cures.
Reporters from the city papers
we're sent to write up and illustrate
the miracle, and soon the traffic be-
came so great that Bishop Cotter
ordered the glass, which had been
repeatedly washed and secured with

peated on the altar, where it has been

Sometimes we hear of the great sac
rifces which are made for the church.
We have never seen any. We live in
what is called church town, and we
do not know of single person who
actually makes any sacrifice worth
speaking of in what is termed gifts to
God. 1t is so through the country.
Six millions of dollars were contribu-
ted by the people of the United
States for missions last year. Twelve
millions were spent for chewing gum
by the same people. One hundred
millions we're spent in church work.
Six hundred millions were spent for
tobacco, and ST., 2OO,OOO,OOO were spent
for liquor, to say nothing of soft
thinks. There is an exception to the
al owe statement. We do know of
some hard working ministers, who are
making heavy worldly sacrifices for
their Lord and Master, but even they
are few. There is a constant strug-
gle among the churches throughout
the land to make both ends meet, and
there is evidently more praying than
working to that end. How can the
church expect to prosper if the church
people themselves refuse to make
willing sacrifices for what they pro-
fess is more important than all other
things besides. We ale afraid the
chewing gum girl has more enthus-
tasm in her work than the average
church goer.-W Wright County Times.
