When Lord Alvsrstone. the recently
appointed lord chief justice of England.
was Sir Richard Webster. attorney gen.
eral and tory member for the Isle of
Wight, he used 70 sing pretty regularly
in the surpliced choir of Kensington
parish church. One of his constituents,
who did not know him by sight.
thought he would like to see his men,

great lawyer. 50. when next in. Lon
don. he attended morning service one
Sunday and asked a verger which of
the choir was Sir Richard Webster.
Well" replied the official, that's the
vicar. those are the curates and I'm the
verger. and so long as the choir gives
satisfaction it is not my business to
inquire into the antecedents of any of
them. man OF boy"
On one occasion. at a semipolitical
meeting Sir Richard, who is reason
ably proud of his good tenor voice, Of
fersd to sing to the audience at the
conclusion of the evening. His solo
sacred one-was heard with even
more attention than his speech. When
he had finished a gaunt spinster arose
from the audience and said: with
your face and your voice. Sir Richard,
you ought to be teaching gospel truth
to the poor heathens instead Of telling
honest folks how to be polemical!"
She probably meant to say political.
But this weird Mrs. Malaprop, so the
story goes, effectually prevented the
great lawyer from accepting the en-
core which the rest of his audience de-
manded

No class of people have shorter
working hours than bankers, and 1t
has been the general supposition that
they had SNAP" Their usual bus
mess hours are from a. m. to p. m,
which is not long business day. On
Saturday the banks of Hillsboro have
been staying open to o'clock p. m.
According to the Hillsboro Gazette,
this is working the bankers too hard,
and it appeals to all business men to
try and make their deposits in the fu-
ture by o'clock on Saturday the same
as on all other days. 1t further says
this thoughtlessness on the part of our
business men is an imposition on our
financiers and breaks in on their need
ed rest Whether the Gazette in
tended to be sarcastic or not we do
not know, but the idea of financiers
having to work seven hours five days
in the week and eight hours on a Sat
urday is enough to make the most
hard-hearted weep. This wrong should
be righted at once, and every business
man in Hillsboro who has in any way
been responsible for this sad state of
affairs should hangshis head in shame.
The attention of the Board of Trade
is respectfully called to this terrible
injustice, and special meeting asked
that the evil may be abolished and the
bankers secure their "needed rest"

Microbe light is the latest Paris in

its being entirely free from heat will
give it scientific value.

A summer National Capital.

. q DO .
Chicago Tribune: The suggestion made
by writer In Harper's Weekly that the
United States have summer capital is
plausible. but Impractical. 1t Is urged
that many officials find the heat unbeara-
BILE. Thus. Secretary Hay has spent much
time In New Hampshire. and President
Mckinley has found rest, at Canton. while
other members Of the administration have
been forced to nee the torrid atmosphere
OF Washington. 1t Is undenable that the
national capital is not an ideal place OF
summer residence. and the heat is hard on
the clerks. Perhaps It would be pleasant
for them II the. capital were delighted ut
some pleasant summer resort, such as
Chicago. The dual capital would entail
great additional expense, and although
Chicago would be good place as q sum-
mer capital. Chicagoans cannot expect the
government to settle here, even temper
arily. Tho temporary Inconvenience to
officials is outweighed by other consldera-
uons. Meanwhile. 1t cannot be said that
the government; suffers by the occasional
absence Of the heads Of the departments
In summer. It hight have been true in
the days OF mall coaches, but now the tel
egraph and telephone enables a man to
keep In touch with his business In almost
any place he may be.

The Perils of Hunting.

Boston Post: With three men killed thus
far In the season while hunting In the
Maine-two shot "by mistake for deer"
and Inc by the accidental discharge OF his
companion's rile-thore is surely some
reason in the movement for legislation In
restraint OF careless hunters. 1t Is all
very we'll to say that there are thousands
OF men hunting In the Maine woods oil the
season, and that three OF the hunters
killed Is n very small percentage. But
not all the vcnison and moose meat sent
out OF Maine this season, nor all the sport
enjoyed by the hunters who have not
shot each other. Is an equivalent for tho
lives blottetd out BY carelessness.
Tho proposed remedy Is a law making 1t
n misdemeanor to carry n gun pointed to-
ward another person. and also making Il
criminal to shoot at anything in the woods
that is not distinctly seen to be game. But
such laws as these would be OF very littlo
account, no to say ridiculous There is
law enough In Maine woods to-day. II 1t
were executed, to control. II 1t does not
cure, this distressing evil. Let trial
for manslaughter follow every one OF these
accidental shoot.ngs and the imperative
duty OF careful handing OF firearms will
son become impressed on the minds OF tho
amateur huntsmcn This would cost some
money, OF course, but It would pay the
county authorities In Maine to adopt it.

An Impressive Change.

a marked and impressive change has
taken place in the political campaigns
in this country. There is no longer the
mere appeal to party name and party
fealty. These things have never count
ed for so little.
The newspaper and the speaker have
been Obliged to take up and to discuss
business questions, or the public would
not hear. The eloquence of words has
had to give place to the consideration Of
the business questions that have to do
with earning and. laying up for rainy
day.
Some newspapers and some speakers
would have been glad to have nothing
to do with these questions, but avoid
ance Of the vital issue OF business was
impossible. The people would not per-
nit avoidance or evasion. They UNDER
stood what the real issues were and
they saw that these issues were kept
at the front. This Is why wage-earners
were more earnest than ever before.
This is the cxplanat ton of the deep and
effective interest taken by business men
In the campaign.
The politicians pursued their own line
TO some extern, but the business of the
country put its stamp on the two re-
cent presidential campaigns and made
business the really paramount Issue.
The change Is notable and impressive.
and all the more important because In
all probability 1t has come to stay.
