Literary Notes.

Mr.. George E. Roberts, the Director
of the United States Mint, has very
practical article In the November Forum
on the question of "CanThere be Good
Trust ?" The article can hardly help
being political in its trend, but Mr..
Roberts has been very fair and impartial
10 his treatment Of 1t. He defines the
nature of trust and its right to exist,
and shows that the formation of trusts
depends upon the instinct to compete
and the desire of each man to surpass his
fellows. He declares that 1t Is impossi-
BILE to prevent the people at large from
sharing in the advantages brought on by
the combination of capital, and proves
that the courts have already gone very
far 10 defining the rights Of the public
as regards monopOlistic power.
More than ninety-five million copies
to be exact, 5,237, 523-of The Ladies'
Home Journal have been issued since
the magazine was first printed, seventeen
years ago. December, 1883, was the
Journals birth-month, and the first
edition aggregated, all told, twenty
thousand. The magazine was well re.
ceived st the very start, and from that
time on its growth has been phenomen-
ally rapid, the increase never hating,
until the circulation has reached nine
hundred and twenty.three thousand
copies a month. During the past eleven
months the increase has averaged forty
seven thousand copies per month over
the corresponding interval of last year.
The readers of st. Nicholas will be
glad to find In the November number,

tale of the transition from Dutch to

York nearly two and half centuries
ago. Another new serial is "a Frigate's

name Is Essex-by Alice B. Abbot, with
pictures by George Varian, who is wide
ly known by his illustrations Of sea

Death Of Mrs. Plummer.

Died In Skowhegan, Oct. 2, 1900, Mrs.
Matilda S. (Parker), widow of the late
John J. Plummer, aged 81 years.
The subject of this notice was married
May II, 1896, and settled 10 Monmouth.
After few years she moved to Skowhe-
gan, where she spent the remainder of her
useful life. She was the mother of ten
children, all of whom are living, except
one daughter, who died in early youth.
One son resides In California, but the
remaining eight are settled in Maine, and
were present at the funeral to manifest
their sincere affection and deep grief for
their departed mother.
Her declining years were spent In the
pleasant home of her son Charles and
wife, the care and responsibility largely
falling upon the sons wife, who did all
that a kind heart and willing hands
could do for her comfort. About year
before her death her eldest daughter
left her business, came home and took
the entire care of her, day and night
until human hands could do no more.
Notwithstanding her advanced age,
she retained her faculties In remark
able degree until The last. She died In
peace and in the hope of blessed i'm
mortality. Thus has passed from our
midst an intelligent, broad minded,
Christian woman, faithful and true in all
the relations of life. "She rests from
her labor and her works do follow her."
The funeral services we're at her home
and by her request were conducted by
her former pastor. The remains were
laid to rest by the side of her husband
and daughter in the beautiful cemetery
10 Skowhesan village. A. W. REED.
