THE results of the peace conference
at The Hague, if the recommendations
of the delegates are adhered to by the
several governments participating, can
not fail to be of great value to the
world, although the practical disarma-
ment of great nations, with a view o
securing universal peace, the great OBJ
ject for which the conference was
called, seems to be as far off as ever.
The conference, however, declared fer
an arrest in the increase of ornaments;
it adopted convention forbidding the
use of balloons to drop explosives from
the sky to injure combatants on the
earth, the use of asphyXiating shells,
and the use of bullets which expand OF
tlatter; it applied the provisions of the
Red Cross society to naval warfare; il
made declarations for the consideration
of new topics, including the right OF
capture of private property at sea and
the question of bombarding coast towns
and, greatest of all, it declared in favor
of arbitration and paved the way fol
the establishment of a permanent arbi
tration court.

THE great trunk railway lines are
unable to secure enough freight cars to
handle the enormous traffic which good
times have brought them. And it is
not altogether due to the bountiful
harvests and great demand for the ag-
ricultural products which in some form
make up the chief part of the carrying
trade, but is due partly to the fact that
a large percentage of the output OF
American car factories is under con-
tract for shipment to foreign countries.
One large concern, for instance, reports
that thirty-six per cent of it's output
goes to England, France and Mexico.
Verify, we have became a great export
nation as a result of the protective tariff
policy.

Che Official Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Z, lse
TRUSTS IN ENGLAND.

Writing to the New York "Press"
from London, Mr.. H. Curtis Brown,
staff correspondent of that paper, pre-
sents with much force and distinctness
the subject of trusts in England. Such
a presentment is most timely. 1t comes
at moment when facts are important
in order to accurately determine the ex-
tent to which trusts abound in coun-
try where Protection is unknown.
From Mr.. Browns article, which APP
pears i'm the current issue of the Amer
lean Economist, it is learned, among
other things, that in Free-Trade Eng
land the modern trust had its origin and
has attained to its most complete de-
velopment. Today, says this well-in-
formed writer, "there are more trade
combinations to the square inch in
England than in the United States,
and it will not be long at the present
rate before every trade in the tight
little island Will be in a position to reg
ulate competition"
In spite of the fact that the tendency
toward monopoly in England in the
last year has been significant and almost
startling, the average Englishman will
tell you, ave have no trusts in Eng
land" Mr.. Havemeyer evidently had
that idea when he declared that "the
customs Tariff is the mother Of trusts"
How mistaken is this belief, and how
firmly the trust movement, under al :
other name, has taken hold upon Eng
Iish commercial life, may be convinc-
ingly learned from the facts set forth
in detail by the "Press" correspondent
He says: organizations which in
America would he popularity called
trusts now control in England the fine
cotton spinning, the dyeing, screw
manufacture, salt manufacture, news
paper manufacture, cotton thread,
chemicals, the crushing of oil seed, bed
stead making, glass bottle making,
manufacture of electrical fittings and
the cased tube trade. There is no open
market in petroleum, nickel, mercury,
anthony, lead pipe and fish. The Ma
tional Telephone Company now has a
monopoly, and the number of trades in
which the leading producers have COM
blned and have begun to squeeze the
smaller producers to the inevitable end
of establishing what is tantamount to a
trust is almost infinite"

1T Is reported on the authority of the
head of one of the great railway sys-

GLADSTONE'S READY WIT.
A Few Instances In Which He Downed
the Opposition.


Mr.. Gladstone was once the victim
of reporters curious error, either in
reporting or telegraphing, which was
that where in a celebrated speech he
and destroyed our bridges" he must
have been Mortified to read. "We have
burned our boots and destroyed our
breeches" The noted phrase "Time Is
on our side" was rendered in one re-
port as Tim is on our side.'
1--WE are very proud of our trees"
said Mr. Gladstone once to a party of
excursionists from Lancashire, "and
are therefore getting anxious, as the
beech has already shown symptoms of
decay. We set great store by our
trees" why, then" roared Lam
cashire lad, do you cut 'em down as
you do?" 1--WE cut down that we may
improve. We remove rottenness that
we may restore health by letting in air
and light AS good Liberal, you
ought to understand that" Lancashire
set up a roar of delight, and the dis
comforted interrogator came in for
many feer from his companions.
Mr.. Gladstone dearly loved joke,
even at his own expense, and he pos
sessed considerable mimetic powers.
He was once guilty of an amusing bull
in a debate on the question of diseStab-
lishment Dilatng on the hold held
on the affections of the people by the
Church of England, he said: when
an Engishman wants to get married,
to whom does he go? TO the parish
priest. When he wants his child bap-
tZed, to whom does he go? To the
parish priest. When he wants to get
buried, to whom does he go?" The
House answered with a roar of laugh
ter, in which Mr.. Gladstone himself
Joined, adding, "As l was contrasting
the English Church with the Irish,
bull is perhaps eXcusable.
On one occasion two gentlemen, in
vited as guests at table where Mr..
Gladstone was expected, made a wager
that they would start a conversation
on q SUBJECT ABOUT Wnlcn even MI.
Gladstone would know nothing. To
accomplish this end they read up an
ancient magazine article on some unfa-
miliar subject connected with Chinese
manufactures. When the favorable
opportunity came the topic was started,
and the two conspirators watched with
amusement the growing interest in the
subject which Mr. GIadstone's face be-
trayed Finally he Joined in the con-
versatiOn, and their amusement was
turned into gnashng of teeth-to speak
fguratively--whe Mr. Gladstone said.
"Ah, gentlemen, | perceive you have
been reading an article | wrote in the
-- Magazine some thirty or forty
years ago"
Catoctin clarion., 1899-09-28

The reason that 1t Is necessary to be
we'll covered while sleeping is that
when the body lies down it is the In
tention of nature that it should rest,
and the heart especially should be re-
lieved Of its regular work temporarily,
So that organ makes ten strokes a min
ute less than when the body is in an
upright posture. This means 600
stokes in sixty minutes. Therefore, in
the eight hours that man usually
spends in taking his nights rest, the
heart Is saved nearly five thousand
strokes, AS 1t pumps six ounces OF
blood with each stroke, it lifts 10000
ounces less of blood In this nights ses-
sion than it would during the day,
when a man is usually in an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent
for its warmth on the vigor of the cir
culation, and as the blood flows so
much more slowly through the veins
when one is lying down, the warmth
lost in the reduced circulation must be
supplied by extra coverings.'-"Even-
