The Freight Train of Life.
en- are like a train of cars

Men are like a train of cars
That rumble on the track
With many curves and many jars,
And many drawing back.
Some are the engines that must pull
Up the heavy grade,
And some are empty, some are full
Each for his uses made.
Some seem to slide along the way,
With never a squeak or jolt,
And some 60 creaking as If they
Were sore in every bolt.
And some are billed to go through
straight,
And one is here and there
To be left on some switch and wait
In gloomy days or fair.
Men are as cars that rumble past,
Each has his place and nse:
The engine at the head and last
The pitiful caboose.

A common form'of neglect is the Shout
ders, which are allowed in childhood to
grow lopsided and take on an ungraceful
stoop. Often they are crowded so by i'll
fitting corsets that they seriously displace
the collar bone. Instead of such malfor-
nation they should be level, large, erect,
~insensibly descending and we'll poised,
making the waist appear round and
small. Massage and oils will do much to
tone up the neglected shoulders.

as to the condition of Hon. Arthur Sew.
all, who last night was stricken by apo
plexy, are in almost a whisper. Mr.. Sew
all was In Bath Friday attending to bus
lness matters and when the press corre-
spondent called at his residence to inter-
view him he was apparently in excellent
health. Saturday he returned to his sum-
mer home at Small Point and Sunday his
son, William ID. SewalI, who is a partner
In the shipbuilding firm drove down and
passed the day with him leaving for home
late IN the afternoon. Mr.. SewalI has al
ways been in the habit of retiring earlv
when at Small Point and he went to bed
IN good season Sunday night. About ten
clock Mrs Sewalls attention was at
tracted by his breathing and she at once
hastenedsto his bedside and to her horror
found him unconscious. All efforts to
awaken him failed and she at once sum-
moned help. DR.. Packard OF New
York, who was stopping at a cottage
nearby, was soon at his bedside and a
messenger sent for DR. Fred Percy. who
was at Popham Beach, few miles away.
II arrived within an hour. An effort
was made TO reach his son, William D.
Sewau, by telephone but it was of no avail
so a messenger was at once dispatched
TO Bath to get him. He arrived there
about daylight this morning. All dav
long Mr.. SeWa1 has remained entirely
unconscious and little hope is feltsfor his
recovery. In fact the chances are said
TO be one IN a hundred. His only move
ment today was about four O'Clock this
afternoon when he slightly moved his
lett hand. At S.15 O'Clock tonight the
PRESS correspondent received word from
Small Point that Mr.. Sewall's condition
this evening remains unchanged.

FALL RIVER PROBLEM.
Whether curtaiIment or Reduction
Open Question.

Fall River, Mass, September 3.-AI.
though practically every mill interested
in the proposed reduction of wages,

of reduction plans, is shut down for the
entire week, In pursuance of the original
four weeks curtailment agreement and
Jhe operatives are enjoying a holiday.
Labor Day, found Fall River dfscusS
ing the plans OF the mill men, in antici-
patton OF the probable result of the
efforts now being made by different sets
OF manufacturers to bring about an
acceptance of the different plans pro
posed by them. The plan which meets
with the most favor among oDer atiyes
Is that OF pOstpOnement OF a decrease
IN wages until the effect of further cur
ta1lment Is tried. The general opinion
among mill hands is that renewed cur
Ua1lment should be inaugurated, if under
taken at all, under different system
than that which has been the plan DUR
ing 6ne term OF shut down now about to

conditions will be changed. A long
term OF curtaiIment, running from week
to week in continuation, would cause
untold suffering among the poorer classes

city blow from which it would take
years Of prosperity to recover. The re-
duction plan is almost at a standstilI, a

stm Undecided what TO Do In
Pekin.

Berlin, September 3.-Negotiations con-
tinue between the powers respecting
the propositions Of Russia. 1t appears
that the portion OF the proposal which
contemplates the removal OF the lega-
tions to Tien Tsin does not meet with
opposition; but the proposal that the
troops should yacate Pekin, will not be
acted upon until after thorough ex-
animation of the case by other powers
with a special view to the question OF
military adyisability. Germany's pro-
gramme is to await the action Of the 9TH

man foreign minister has made a com

the answer of the United States to Rus

When asked whether, if the troops were
Withdrawn, the Empress Dowager and

on that subject.
Most OF the German papers are OF the
opinion that it is very doubtful if Ger.

Prince Ching Suggested
AS a RegenC.
DR.. Hill Returns to Head of
State Department.

Washington, September "a despatc h
from Minister Conger was received by
the State Department today. 1t was
chiefly interesting in being the first word
from him since his despatch OF about the
9th ult., referring to the proposed parade
of8troops through the imperial palace in
Pekin. LikeSthat despatch, this is date
less as to Pekin. The contents were not
made public, but it was stated that it
contained nothing materially changing
the situation. The lack of date leu to a.
det ermination to take energetic steps by
which all dispatches hereafter coming to
the State Department from China win
have the date clearly stated. Two others
received today from China referred to
the state of health of the troops, which
generally is satisfactory.
1t cannot be learned that there has been
anysmarked advancement-o of the interna-
tional forces from Pekin. The plain in
dlcation IS that the powers are acting
upon theshint conveyed in the last note of
the State Department. and are bringing
all Of their influence to bear upon Russia
to Induce her to change her mind as to
withdrawing her troops. For some rea-
son the authorities here appear to feel a
growing confidence that this effort will be
successful. 1t IS noted as q fact Of great
significance that the proposition is being
advanced to have Prince Ching return to
Pekin as the acting head of the Chinese
cover mnent. The suggestion is made
that the progress of this wave of reorgan-
1zation while the international troops
are still in Pekin, promising as it does
speedily to provide an actual defacto Chi
nese government with which the nations
may treat without further doubt as to it's
STRENGTH, may solve the present problem
and put the Chinese question in a fair
way to final ana satisfactory settlement.
Much may depend upon the attitude OF
Russia in this matter, and the manner In
which she treats this appeal from the
Chinese notabIes may p rove to be a test
of the sincerity of her expressed desire to
deal with the Chinese government as soon
as possible
DIR. Hill, first secretary of state, returned
to Washington today and assumed Hthe
duties OF acting head of the State Depart
ment, relieving Mr.. Adee, who has per. Il
formed these duties during the perpIex-
ing diplomatic exchanges of recent date.
DR.. Hill has been absent In New England
with his family on a vacation, but in
view OF the important diplomatic phases
OF the Chinese question which have aris-
en-, decided to curtail his stay and take up
the work here. Soon after arriving be
went to the White House and spent half
an hour with the President, going over
the present status Of the Chinese negoti-
ations.
Later he conferred at length with Mr..
Adee. From this time on, until Mr.. /
Hay returns, DR.. Hill viii be the active
head of the State Department..
The despatch from PerIey, the chief sur
geon at Taku, makes it apparent that
whatever the conditions may be on the
route between Taku and Pekin, the
Pei Ho river route at least is open and
safe for the transportation of passengers.
