TO PARIS IN 1900.


The passenger department Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
has taken advantage Of the current in
terest in the Paris Exposition and has
printed for free distribution one Of the
most charming books Of the season, en-
titled, "Glimpses Across the Sea-" It's
contents describe a recent voyage
across the Atlantic made by Sam T.
Clover, journalist and author, and in
cludes his diversified experiences in
London and Paris. The "Gllmpses"
are entertaining and instructive to the
prospective western patrons of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
who may be contemplating a tflp 10
Europe. The enterprise of the railway
company in augurating such a happy
departure from the ordinary methods
Of advertising Is commendable.

man family consisting of Carl Kernig.
his wife and son were discovered dead
in their little farm house seven miles
from this city. each corpse having a
moose about the neck. Strangulation
was probably the cause Of death in
each case From the decomposed con-
dition Of the bodies II is thought the
act must have been committed several
DAYS ago. AS far as known the last
seen Of any member of the family was
on last Saturday, when the elder Ker-
mig came to Cambridge and drew 5000

could be found today.
The authorities are OF the opinion
that young Carl Kernig assisted his
father and mother to hang themselves
and then after making a half hitch
with the rope strangle9 himself and
fell where he was found today.

CARNEGIE ON TRUSTS.
The Poor VIII Benefit by the Employ
ment of Large Aggregations
of Capital.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Andrew Car
negie, in an essay in the May Century
entitled Popular Illusions About
Trusts" advocates great aggregations
of capital as of benefit both to rich
ard poor. He says:
Every attempt to monopolize the
manufacture Of a staple article carries
within its bosom the seeds OF failure
Long befora we could legislate with
much effect against trusts there would
be no necessity for legislation. The
! past proves this and the future is to
confirm it. There should be nothing
but encouragement for these vast ag-
gregations OF capital, for the manu-
facture Of staple articles.
AS for the result being an increase
Of price to the consumer. beyond a
brief period. there need be no fear. On
the contrary, the inevitable result Of
these aggregations IS, finally and per-
manent!y, to give the consumer cheap
er articles than would have been other
wise possible to obtain; for capital is
stimulated by the high profits Of the
trust for a season to embark against
it. The result is very soon a capacity
Of production beyond the wants Of the
consumer and as the new works erected
are of the most improved pattern and
capable Of producing cheaper than the
old works, the vulnerable trusts are
compelled to buy and capitalize at two
or three times their cost. There is thus
no danger ahead to the community
from trusts nor any cause for fear.
Competition in all departments of
human activity is not to be suppressed.
Already the ghosts Of numerous depart
ed trusts which aimed at monopolies
have marched across the stage Of hu-
man affairs, each pointing to its fatal
wound, inflicted by that great correc-
tive competition. The only people who
have reason to fear trusts are those
who trust them.
I'VE conclude that this overpower-
ing, irresistible tendency toward ag-
gregation of capital and increase of
size in every branch Of product cannot
be arrested or even greatly impeded
