Bishop John p. Newman. 70. who
died at Saratoga Wednesday of last
week, was one of the mostiwidely known
men of the Methodist denomination.
He was pulpit orator, and first came
into prominence as pastor of the Metro
politan Methodist church in Washington
and the spiritual guide and warm per-
sonal friend of President Grant. He
was chaplain of the United States senate
five years. and Gen. Grant created for
him the office of Inspector of consulates.
He left Washington shortly after the
close of President Grants term and
later accepted the pastorate of Madison
Avenue Congregational lchurch in New
York city, The relationship proved
inharmonious and was soon severed.
DR.. Newman next went to California,
where he was again conspicuous as a
pulpit orator. 1t was while serving his
third term In the Metropolitan church in
Washington in 1888 that DR.. Newman
was elevated to the episcopacy. He de-
livered funeral oratons over the bodies
of Gems. Grant and Logan.

Monkton's Marble Quarry,

The Columbian Marble Quarrying
company's quarry at Monkton is being
opened up rapidly and samples of the
marble have been sent to marble dealers
all over the country, says the Rutland
Herald. Some specimens of the marble
have warm brown tints mottled with
lighter shades and take high polish.
1t is admirably suited for interior work.
Seven or eight men are employed at the
quarry and about 5000 feet of marble
have been taken out since the company
took hold of it in March. j. Manning
says that the work done thus far at
Monkton was largely to develop the
quarry and see how the marble would
show up. He said that the. outlook for
the marble business is good. A large
number of marble buildings are being
put up and there is a great demand for
the finer decorative grades for inside
work. He predicted that the next five
years would be the best ever seen for
the marble industry.

OUR TREATY WITH RUSSIA
Being Remodeled on the Plan of Our
Treaty With France.

Washington, November 25.-Relative
to h statement attributed to Count
Muravieff, the Russian minister of for
eign affairs, that the propriety of re-
modelling the trade treaty of 1882 be-
tween the United States and Russia
was now under consideration, it is
learned that about two months ago
this movement was initiated by the
Russian embassy here. The success of
the French government in negotiating
a reciprocity treaty was probably the
incentive to the Russian move.
The indications of rather formidable
opposition to the approval by the n
ate of the French reciprocity treaty
has given some concern to the officials
of the state department who have had
much to do with its negotiations. This
treaty was perfected with the greatest
difficulty, n was in itself regarded as
the means Of restoring h good will
and cordially between the United
States and France, which had Under
gone a severe strain during the last
two years. Its failure now, it is said
at the state department., would be most
unfortunate and the officials are pre-
pared to show to the senate by statis-
tics THAT the United States has secured
all Of the advantages from a purely
economic point of view that could be
expected, having regard to fair treat
ment of Franc

FORMULAS.

Men who become successful in the
latter years of their life sometimes give
u the set of guiding rules to which
they attribute their success The fol-
lowing rules are said to have been
formulated by Andrew Carnegie for his
own guidance.
l.. Never enter a barroom nor let the
contents of a arroom enter you.
2. Do not use obacco
8. Concentrate. Having entered upon
a certain line of work continue n
combine upon that line.
4. Do not shirk; rather go beyond
your task. Do not let any young man
think he has performed his full duty
when he has performed the work as
signed MIN. A man will never rise il
he cts thus. Promotion comes from
exceptional work. A man must learn
where his employers interests lie and
push for these. The young man who
does this is b young man whom cap
ltal wants for a partner n son-m-
law. He is the young a who by
and by, reaches h head OF he hrm.
Save a little always. Whatever be
your wages, lay by somedhlng from
them.
Never speculate. Never buy stocks
or grain on margin.
Never indorse. When you enter on
business for yourself indorse
for others. It is dishonest. All your
resource and all your credit are
the sacred property Of the men VINO
have trusted you. If you wish to help
another give him all the a you can
a Never indorse; 1T is dishonest.
