THE ESTATES" CLOSED.

Colonel David A. Rood, Well Known
Hartford Hotel Proprietor, Forced In
to Bankruptcy. .N
Hartford, Nov. 1.-THE United States
hotel, which has been conducted since
1857 by Colonel David A. Rood was
closed to business Saturday morning.
A few guests were entertained at the
hotel Friday night, but all applications
for accommoda lions Saturday We're re-
fused.
Colonel Rood was asked if in closing
the hotel he would be able to settle at
bundled cents on the dollar, or if
he would be obliged to go into bank
ruptcy. He hesitated a moment, and
then said he would, within a few days,
file q voluntary petition in bankruptcy
in the district court of the United
States. Mr.. Rood ventured the infor-
nation that his business was a paying
one until the last two years. He said
that he would not take the cares of q
hotel business again after the affairs
were settled, because of his advanced
age. Colonel Rood is eighty-two years
OF age.

SORRY TO INCONVENIENCE.

They tell a story of prominent
politician of the city who never commits
himself to a course which he deems I'M
desirable nor yet does he sacrifice his
courtesy. A young woman whom he
had promised to aid in securing po-
sition In an office where he had cons der
able influence called upon him day after
day to make inquiry as to the progress
of affairs On every occasion he treated
her with the utmost Difference, assured
her he would attend to the matter at
once, and asked her to call again the
next day. Finally the young woman
became just a trihe impatient.
But" she expostulated, you have
told me exactly the same thing every
day for month. Each time that L

THE RIFLES USED BY THE BOERS.
Sporting Model of the German Manu-
licher is their Standard To-day.

| Sporting Model of the German Manu-
licher is their Standard To-day.
| In the war of 1S79-S0 the Beers dis
| played deadly accuracy with the rifle
but their weapon then was very differ
ent from the arm used last week at
Dundee. The rifle of 20 years ago was
built on the lines of the British Mar
TIM. 1t was a hammerless arm of about
nine pounds weight, with 30-inch half
octagon barrel and a shotgun butt
stock. The caliber was As, with a bull
let weighing from 405 to $50 grains. The
powder charge was 80 grains in brass
drawn cartridge case. The rifle was
sighted up to 1000 yards. Besides the
usual stationary sight 1t had a revers-
ible front, that is, sight capable of be-
ing used as an ordinary front sight, and,
by a single motion, it was changed into
a fine pinhead sight covered with a
ring to keep it from being knocked off.
On an occasion where particularly fine
shooting was demanded this front globe
was further covered with thimble-
shaped hood, shading it perfectly. The
usual standing rear or fixed sights were
on the barrel, while on the guns grip
was a rundown peep that was regulated
by a, side screw to an elevation of 1000
yards. The peep and globe were never
used under 700 or 800 yards.
II was very much interested in the
Boer rif1emen and their weapons" said
Archibald Forbes who was with Sir Eve
lyn Woods column In South Africa in
1S79-S0. "They are marvellous rifle shots.
They shoot their antelope and other
game from the saddle, not apparently
caring to get nearer to their quarry
than 600 or 700 yards. Then they under
stand the currents Of air, their effect
upon the drift of bullet, and can
judge distance accurately as it could
be measured by skilled engineer. They
can hit an officer as far as they can dis
Germ his insignia of rank. Sir George
w. Colley, the commander in South At
RIGA, was killed at distance of 400
yards at Majuba Hill. We lost terri
bly, in officers at the fight mentioned,
and also at Laing's Mex and Rorke's
Drift, from the deadly rifles of the
Beers"

ter from T. II. Brown OF the Live Stock
Sanitary commission of Michigan. in
which he says: THE hog cholera, so
called. has ravaged every farm sur
rounding ours, but We have not had a
single case this fall. More than 100
pigs have died within so rods Of our
barns. You see we have had a mar

sanitation, have saved u pigs. l was
on the farm yesterday and never saw

Brown, in disinfecting. had used "Ze-
nolium," as a disinfectant. The dis
infectant used on the exposition
grounds, II we remember correctly, was
"Formaline." But, whatever the dis
infectant may be, it is evident that the
thorough and constant use Of proper

sanitary conditions. render herds COM

Per Capita Con.umptlon.

The per capita consumption OF alco-
hol has begun to decline in this coun-
try, although its consumption is in
creasing In other nations. The New
York Medical Record puts this decline
during the last ten years at 30 per cent.
Prior to that time there was a contin-
ual increase. During those years some
OF our prohibitory laws have been re-
pealed, others have been weakened;
less rather than more temperance plat
form work has been done, and more
than 100000 people have come to us
from foreign lands. bringing with them
the alcoholic habits OF the old world.
In the face of all these unfavorable
conditions, why has the per capita con-
sumption Of alcohol In this country
decreased during this time, while pre-
viously 1t increased? Our English
friends are doing as much church So
ciety and Band of Hope work as we.
and perhaps more, and yet England's
drink bill for 1897 ran up to SIG, $780,
900 more than that of the preceding
year. The only new feature introduced
into temperance work IN this country
during the last ten years so generally
as to touch all sections, and the only
method of Importance in which our
temperance work differs from that of
England, is that of temperance educa-
ton In the public schools. 1t is this
which Is getting the truth to the peo-
pie so generally as already to bear
fruit. 1t is this which Is laying the
foundation for the intelligent sobriety
OF the future American. We would
not for a moment question the value
Of other temperance efforts which have
helped to secure these results, but the
figures show that such efforts without
temperance education were inadequate
to produce this decline. DUTY deter,

woe. Of chinese Postmen.

The modern postal service, introdre-
ed into China only a couple of years
ago, has already proved a great sue
cess, and in nearly all the large cities
the mail is now delivered by uniform
ed carriers, just as 1t is in u own
cities. These carriers, however, as
sumo great risks and responsibilities,
for only the other day, in the city Of
Marking, one OF the mandarins order
ed the postman who served the district
in which he lived to be bambooed and
cangued, two Of the most cruel meth
DDS of punishment known to the hea-
then. Upon inquiry by the British
superintendent of the postal service as
to the reason for such arbitrary con-
duct it vas found that the postman
had delivered at the house of his &C.
cuser a sealed anonymous letter which
contained bits of singing arcasm
concerning his avarice, extortion, ig-
norance, etc. Under the Chinese code
Of justice, the carrier who brought the
letter was responsible for its contents,
| although 1t was sealed. 1t has always
been the rule in China to punish the
bearer of bad news and reward the
bearer of good news, and the mandarin
proposed to apply it to the modern
postal service introduced by the "for.
eign devils" but the Briton who has
| charge of the postal service finally con-
WINGED the mandarin that the POSTWAR
was in no way responsible for the in
suit, and secured his release.

Pressing Forward.

Going back is sometimes a danger
GUS business. 1t may prove disastrous
to others as well as to ourselves. In
certain mountain passes OF Austria are
found signboards bearing in German
the words: Return forbidden" These
roads are so narrow and precipitous
that there is not room for two car
riages abreast; therefore to attempt to
retrace ones path might bring disaster
upon ones self and upon those coming
after. Once having started there, you
must keep straight on until you have
reached your destination. To-day's
pressing duties call us forward. not
backward. There are others comins
after; we must push ahead for theiI
sakes and for our own. Austria is moi
the only place where there is need OF
the warning, Return forbidden."-C

Patience.

Do not regard present conditions as
final. Sorrow may endure for a night,
but Joy cometh in the morning" So
long as God lives, the case of no man
Is hopeless. Though heart and flesh
fail, God is the strength of the heart
and the portion forever of all who fee
to Him. The burdens of life may be
intolerable to one who ignores or de-
MES God. Besides the pressure of I'M
toward circumstances, there is the
pressure OF guilt and shame and re-
morse within and no hope to sustain.
But God gives to those who trust Him
strength according to their day, the
grace to wait all the days of their ap-
pointed time till their change comes,
and when it comes He rewards them
a%bundantly for their patient and hero
ic endurance to the end.-A Vennema
