THE INTELLIGENCER.
wHRE11NG. MARCH 81, 1900.
nsath Of NJ. Huntington.

AS rich as the English language is its
poverty Is always realized when we
come to speak of our near friends who
have left the activities of this life and
dropped INTO that awful mystery called
death. 1t Is not SO much what we want
to say, but what we ought to say; to
avoid exaggeration but leave the i'm
press Of sincerity; to shun fulsomeness
but convey the tenderness of the hui
man heart when it is sorely stricken.
II Mr.. George a. Dunpington's wishes
could be consulted the writer knows he
would want very little said of his pass
ing away.beyond 1.-THE passing tribute Of
a sigh" and 1t is with some mlsgIving
that these lines are penned; but If they
are in any way inadequate they must
be taken in the light of his oft express
ed views on the dead and the sacredness
OF the sorrow of the friends of the dead.
As the editor of the 1ntelligencer he
was conservative in his opinions but
faithful to the principles of the Repub-
lican party. No man. probably was
better known in the state, and he
brought with him to his position on this
paper a matured judgment, formed in
tAe severe school of experience as the
editor and proprietor of the Grafton
Sentinel. and. subsequently, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Intelligent
Ger. lie was stricken down in the very
hour when his talents were being reeog-
nized, and at that period of life wher
man comes to realize the real RESPONSE
biIlty OF living. The pen thar was 50
faclla in writing of others is now for
ever silent, and the pen
now writing forms words of
but feeble comfort to those
whose sorrow it aims to assuage. There
Is no day. however beautiful, that is not
followed by its night, and to those who
are most deeply afflicted in the death
Of Mr.. Huntington, the Intelllgencer
extends its sincere coincidence.

Payne Hanna bill. has been before the
appropriate committees OF the house Of
representatives. and the senate where
speeches were made and evidence given
In It's support. And we may say, At the
orsset. that ihsrs y good reason 70 be-
lieye that the bill Will pass into law.
Every thoughtful British shlpowner and
member u parliament viii appreciate
the possible influence and consequences
Of this piece Of shipping legislation; and
we have considered It Of sufficient linz
portance to print the full text upon an
other page. We believe that
this bill viii pass into law, and disturb
the natural laws and operations Of the
carrying trade"
These expressions show that the pro-
posed bin Is far better understOOd by
foreign shlp6uilders than Il Is by It's
free trade opponents here at home.
European hostility to the measure Is
inspired by a thorough knowledge Of the
reviving effect 1t would have on our
ocean commerce. It's advocacy 10
prompted by the highest considerations
OF national self-lnterest; 1t is based
upon the general proposition that our
magnificent commerce will never be en-
tlrely Independent until it is carried in
American ships, and 1t is patterned af-
ter precisely the same policy Of subsI-
dies and bounties that has placed Eng
land foremost in control over the carry
ing trade of the seas.

Baltimore Sun: According to a story
published in the Herald, Joseph Zolique
La Joie. a Canadian Frenchman, has
discovered the north pole.
The alleged discovery Is now being In
vestgated by explorers and by ethnolo-
gists Of the Smithsonian institution at
Washington The story tells how La
Joie made a start with a companion,
George White, from Great Bear lake in
1889 on trading and hunting expedl-
ton. The men pushed on together be-
yond Cape Brainerd. in Grantland.
Here they separated in 1882 In quest OF
game. agreeing to return to the COM
mon camp after ten days scouting. La
Joie was set adrift on an Iceberg, which
was driven northWard for thirty-si1
days. when he reached land.
"A strange race Of people surrounded
his camp at night By diplomacy he
succeeded In making friends with the
tribe, and afterward became its ruler
The headquarters OF the strange peo-
pie wns In a cave, bearing on its walls
In hierogiyphics in a strange tongue a
history OF the race, running back for
thirteen centuries at least. The Ian
guage. which La Joie had learned. is
unknown 10 chronological experts. The
home OF the strange people is large
island. In company with natives. La
Jole pushed northward and discovered
burning mountain, which from the ac-
ton OF the compass in always bearing
toward il. he concluded was the north
pole. BE has since strengthened this
belief by studying The location OF the
pole and Of the point to which he must
have travelled.
The burning mountain perpetually
lights up the whole surrounding country
for hundreds OF miles. The natives on
the new land are Of great size and live
to be exceedingly old. They have no
idea Of IRE and food is eaten raw.
The explorer remained with the
strange people two years, he says, and
started back with two natives. They
both persisted on the Journey, but La
JoIe says he car. recover their bodies as
well as a number OF trinkets which are
hidden with them.
La Jole was questioned by General
Greedy, Admiral G. w. Melville, Prof.
W. ]. MCGEE and others The explorer
stuck tenaciously and consistently to
his story. Tests were applied, includ-
Ing taking duplicate Photographic rec
lords Of the new language, but La JOE
held his own.

Prohibition in Bath.

The Civic League is still pushing its
work against the rum business, and Bath
people are still wondering how long this
will continue before the enthusiasm of
the pushers will peter out and things re-
sumo their old way. Whether the move
ment is permanent or not, it must be adj
mitted, we think, that nothing of the kind
for years has been attended with such
manifest results in checking the rum nuis-
ance. This certainly is something to meet
the approval of our business men and Cit
liens generally, who too much have been
made to feel the baneful effects OF the sa-
loon. 1t may be truly said that men will
get liquors through other sources when
the saloons are closed, and that express
companies will do resultant thriving
business, but we believe it also true that
when the rum shops are not permitted to
do business the inebriate spends less of
his money for intoxicants and more to
pay his legitimate bills, while his family
live in more hopeful atmosphere and the
public is offended less frequently with his
drunken appearance. Bath Enterprise.

trict, that these cyclones are in reality
whi1lwinds. They set up a current of
air which spins around with great veloe
itv and at the same time moves rapidly
over the ground. AT the very centre of
this whirlwind is a vacuum; as the cy-
clone passes over building it is drawn
up and forced apart with the force of an
explosion. This accounts for the scatter
ing to flinders and distribution over a
wide area of even the largest structures.
From Madison | ment to Milwaukee and
passed part of a day with Rev. VIM.
Eliot, pastor of the Unitarian church.
We visited the public library, an excep-
tionably beautiful and well equipped
structure, and the city hall, curious
architectural combination, with a central
opening up through the various stories
that exactly resembles in shape an over
grown coffin.
On my way from Chicago to st. Louis
stopped over night at Alton. The most
interesting thing here is a monument to
Elijah Lovejoy, who was shot here in 1887
for expressing abolition sentiments. Love-
joy was born in Maine in 1902 and gradu-
ated from Colby, then Waterville College.
The monument consists of an appropriate
base with a tail white shaft rising nearly
100 feet. On this appears figure in
bronze with a pen in one hand and trum-
pet in the other. The whole effect is
most striking, the surmounting figure
seems to have but just alighted and to be
Lovejoy's death.
In Alton | visited large glass factory
and saw the extremely interesting process
of glass blowing. From Alton came to
st. Louis, crossing both the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers, and entered the city
through leagues of dense black smoke
l found the people here indignant over
the action of Chicago in turning it's sew
erage into the Mississippi. As st. Louis
gets it's drinking water from the river,
and as disease germs are known to flour
ish in water, their feelings seem to be JUS
titled.
was happy in making the acquaintance
here of Prof. Woodward, formerly of
Massachusetts, now head of the Manual
Training school and the chief promoter
of manual training as an adjunct of
school work in this country. l also met
Dean Curtis of the Law School, who,
though Western man, spends his sum-
mers on the coast of Maine and declares
it to be the most delightful region on the
globe. And truly as one thinks of tie
varied scenery and the broken coast lines
and the abrupt and pleasing changes that
meet the eye along the Maine shore, one
does not wonder that SO many people
should desire to escape to it from the mo-
notonous level and intolerable heat of the
great river valley.
