REV. SAM JONES ON TRUSTS.
Wealth and Brains Combined Dc
Much for the Good of the
PeOple.

"The large trust and combinations
already formed and being formed by
aggregations Of capital are considered
hurtful to the masses and the COM
mon people. This is a theory. Theo-
retically, a thing may be so, and prac-
tically it may be very untrue. When
we speak of trusts and combines we
think of the Standard Oil trust, the
sugar trust, the tobacco trust, etc.
When the Standard Oil trust was
formed l was paying 40 cents a gallon
for kerosene oil: 7 am getting it now
for ten cents a gallon. I was paying
1914 cents for sugar several years ago,
but when the combines set in we got
it at ga. When the whisky
trust was organized 1 was in hopes it
would put up whisky where the poor
devils couldn't get it, but they have
seemed to cheaper that down to
where they can pay the government
$1.10 a gallon revenue on it and yet
sell it for $1.27, which demonstrates
that they are making it and letting
the public have it at about 17h cents
a gallon, including the barrel.
"There Is no doubt about the aggre'
CATION of wealth, with brains con-
trolling it, that they can manufacture
any article cheaper than it is or ha.
been manufactured on a small scale
| have watched the progress of events
and the professions as they marched
I have yet to know of a single in
stance where combines and trusts hurt
the masses or permanently raised the
price of any product."-Rev. Sam P
Jones.

George Nv In ireland.

George " did not anticipate the land
agitation by promises of three acres to
the Irish peasant. but he made point
of the COW. From an account of the
kings visit by S. Hubert Burke, pub
lished by Mr.. Hodges, Bedford street.
we take the following:
among the peasantry who pressed
forward to see the king at Howth was
one tall, good humored looking 'frieze
coat whom his majesty noticed in par
ticular The sovereign, addressing him.
said:
We'll. good fellow, suppose you
are farmer|
'Troth, | am, yer majesty's honor;
but, shure, Pm a little one-a 40 shil-
ling freehoulder, yer majesty's hcnor.'
:" \ hope that you have cow?' said
the thoughtful monarch.
Troth, ! haven't, yer majesty's
honor
Then said the king. you shall
have one. think every poor Irishman
should have at least a COW, pig and
some fowls.."
This sentiment was received with
rapturous applause by the crowd, and
few days later the peasant received
q milk COW and two pigs.-London

CHAPTER XIX.
MATTHEW A1onA's STATEMENT.

MATTHEW MoRA'S STATEMENT.
Matthew Mora did not receive the
dispatch which Perdita had sent to
him because Mr.. Mitchell deposited it
in his pocketbook and not in the tele-
graph office. Therefore he left the city
on the midnight train. He was hap
Ply in the thought that Perdita would
follow him II hours later. He had
section to himself and he slept sound
ly, satisfied that Success was soon to
be his. Perhaps he would have had
troublous dreams had he seen and
recognized the man who occupied a
section at the farther end of the car
and who slept only between stations,
starting up wide awake whenever the
speed of the train slackened. But he
knew nothing of this and reached Bos-
ton in a happy frame of mind.
Perdita had expected to leave on the
| noon train. Consequently in the fur
| therance of his own plans Mr.. Mitchell
took an express at 10 o'clock. With
him were Lillian and her baby and Re-
becca Polaslsi. whose presence had cost
/, him a good deal of bartering with her
| avaricious uncle Thus this party Of
four arrived in Boston two hours be-
fore Matthew Mora would be expecting
,, Perdita.
A suit Of rooms at the Hotel Bruins
wick was engaged, and the girls were
! made comfortable. Then Mr.. Mitchell
called a bellboy and commissioned him
to inquire at the desk for the number
of Morals apartment. Ten minutes
after obtaining this information Mr..
Mitchell tapped lightly upon the door,
and in response to hearty "Come

to the much astonished occupant.

COMPL ANTS OF
DEPRESSl0NS IN THE
CITY'S THOROU UGiiFARES.

There has been repeated complaints
made against condition of the roadways,
those outside of the paved streets, be
cause of the deep holes which are con
stantly met with. 1t is claimed that it
is positively dangerous to drive along
some thoroughfare, particularly at the
intersections of streets where the de
preston from the footwalk is so cOnsid-
cradle that horses are bound to go slow
in crossing them, for fear of jolting the
carriage or buggy to such an extent that
the axel may break.
1t has been suggested that the city
council give early attention to this grave
defect in the streets and Immediately
apply the proper remedy. The earlier
it gets at this work the better apprecia-
ted it will be-
