DR.. PARKER'S BITTER
REBUKE FOR WALES

NEW YORK. May "a cable to the
Journal from London says: The tnvec-
tive of Rev. DR.. Joseph Parker of the
City Temple against Princes and. Prime
Ministers who attend horse races is con-
sidered by English society as a slap in the
face 10 both the Prince of Wales and
Lord Rosebery. When asked by the
Journal correspondent whom he meant
DR.. Parker replied: 4 didn't refer per
sonally or exclusively to. the Prince of
Walse, but l distinctly include all Princes
who have been setting bad example to
the people
What would you have the Prince Of
Wales do to be a good example?' DR..
Parker was asked.
What l would have him do would be
abstain from horse racing, gambling and
debauchery."
DR. Parker despairs of English society.
He thinks it is sordid and sickening.
Il firmly believe" said he, that we are
on the brink of revolution. Things can
not possibly 60 on as they are. If the
Prince of Wales doesn't master his pas
sions and tread the virtuous path of his
illustriOus mother when he comes to the
throne the crown Of England won't be
worth twelve months purchase"

AGREEMENT NOT REACHED.

BUFFALO. May 6.-At the annual
meeting of the International Topographic
cal Union in Syracuse in October last it
was decided that the question of limo
type machinsts joining the union should
be submitted as referendum. At to-
days session of the international Asso-
citation of Machinists President Donnelly
of the International Typographical Union
addressed the delegates in support of
this decision, but the question was de-
cided adversely by the machinists, who,
believing in the same autonomy of the
trades. think the linotype men should
affiliate with the machinists.
A resolution was adopted declaring
against the anneXing of the Philippines.
The auditing committee made its re-
port. The balance in the treasury of the
Grand Lodge is between $4,000 and $4,000.

ILLINOIS ANTITRUST
LAW TO BE ENFORCED

CHICAGO, May 6.-The antitrust law
of Illinois, which is modelled upon that of
Missouri. which has just been sustained
by the Supreme Court of that State, is
to be rigldly enforced if current rumors
have any foundation in fact. Attorney
General Akin, it is said. has drawn pa
pers, to be filed Monday, in which com
plaint is made that the glucose trust is
conducting operations in this State in de-
fiance of the law, and steps will be taken
to bring about a forfeiture of it's char
ter. Mr.. Akin, when seen at the Great
Northern Hotel tonight, refused to dis
cuss the matter further than to say that
since the action of the Missouri Supreme
Court his department had taken steps
toward enforcing the Illinois law. He re-
fused to deny or affirm that the glucose
trust had been selected as the trial horse
in the case.

ished as much as possible. To this
end all weapons which are unnecessar-
lily terrible should be entirely banned
1t should be arranged that every sol
dier in war should carry with him the
first appliances for treating wounded
on the battlefield, and that all soldiers
in time Of peace should be instructed in
the care of wounded in time Of war"
Dr. Esmarch's opinion reflects almost
entirely what are generally accepted
here as being the lines upon which the
peace conference viii conduct its dis
cussion. It will rather be toward the
end of alleviating the horrors Of war
than Of preventing war which is ac-

Even the best Designers never know

Years ago two mud barges were built
at San Francisco, exactly alike, con-
structed from one design. One of them
was quite commonplace, but the other

them all; raced every yacht on the Pa

WESTERN CANADA IS ALL
RIGHT.

Delegates representing a number of
neighboring farmers in Clay county,
Mimi, who visited the Edmonton dis
trict of western Canada last summer
are evidently very well satisfied with
the result of their trip. They think so
well of the country that, in addition TO
the privilege of obtaining free home
stead of 100 acres of land, they have
also purchased land. In recent inter
view on the subject, Messrs. c. Z. and
A. Hughes, of GAINESVILLE, Clay county,
say:
I'VE are well pleased with western
Canada. 1t is far ahead of what we
expected. AS for the crops, we have
never seen anything that can compete
with mem. We have lived in Mime
sofa and have farmed some of what
they count the best lands in the Red
River valley for ten years, and have
done very well in that part OF the
country, and have farms there at pres
ent free of all enCumbrance, but be-
lieve that this country (western Can
aGa) is so much better that we have
bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way company one section OF land
northeast of Edmonton, in the Beaver
Hill district. We have travelled through
that part of the country, and have seen
the grain in the granaries and the
amount of land that it was taken off,
and find that they have grown as much
as so bushels and over to the acre, and
they say that this has not been a good
year and very little if any grain has
been touched by the frost. Hay seems
to be plentiful. and if you wish to put
up log buildings you can get the logs
within a few miles. Coal can be had at
the mines for rs cents per ton, or you
can dig it yourself, Nearly all kinds
of garden truck can be grown in abun-
dance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell us that they can get four and a
half live weight per hundred for hogs,
and for three-year-old steers from $50
TO $50 per head, providing they are
good. We will move into that part of
the country next summer. All the peo-
pie in that part of the country seem sat
isfed and we do not see any reason
why they should not be So"
Messrs. Hughes also stated that they
would be very glad to afford anyone de-
string particulars about the country
they had visited the fullest informa-
ton, on receiving inquiries at Barnes
vile, Clay county, before the first of
June next, when it is understood they
propose to return to this Edmonton dis
kTict.

Credit Was Stronger.

"I suppose" said the grocery sales
man, that business is better, even in
small country town like this, than 1t
was few years ago, during the hard
times?"
We'll, no; can't say 1t is," replied the
Hometown grocer. "In the hard times
the people hadn't any money to speak
of, and consequently didn't buy any
thing; but when times loosened up a
little, why, you know, credit got bet
ter, and then they bought all they
wanted, but insisted on getting it on
time."-Puck
