ual custom and made a speech at the birthday dinner tendered to Gen. O. 0. Howard at the Waldorf Astoria.
 A verbatim report of MT. Reels speech is as follows:
 New York is the great city, on its way to be the greatest in the world. 1t has, however, with all his size and virtues, some inconvenience. One of its faults is inaccuracy.
 Those of us who have passed our lives among bucolic scenes and have not learned the art of distrust, have to suffer much. If I did not know Gen. Howard to be strong and courageous beyond any proof, I should feel solici- tous about his wandering down here from the sweet simplicity of Vermont.
 Even the comparative sophisticatlon of Maine has not saved me this eVen- ing. It was said to me that this would be a quiet, informal gathering: some remarks and no speeches. Almost b2- fore l had been securely fastenad there came by mail long list of officials, looking like list Of committee Of one hundred to revolutiCn:ze the world, and I whispered to myself. gently, with smile, How very, very informal New York always is When, two days later, an official wanted copy o2 my dis course for the papers, then kn5W what had happened to me.
 Just think what an opening for a young man. All the rhetoric l chose to write and all of 1t i'll tomorrow paper, not got tired of it.
 l l You need not shu1 Ter. 1 never did live up to my oppor' 'un;ti'es. You shall be spared. And yet the themes called i up by the generals martial fame and figure are tempting beyond compare There is the whole civil war wide oper ito view, with its noblc principles ana it's splendid results. Men thought that a war more sacred than the revolution itself, for the revolution was a war fol our liberties-this for the liberty of all How easy and appropriate it would bt to rehearse the great battles and tn: mighty sieges. G@1@rll Towards namC adorned so many of them that yol could hardly fail ii you touched upor them at random to make his heart bta strong with the memories of those grva days of storm anI stress.
 But I shall indulge in no rhetoric My purpose and p;eseEce here is tC honor the general, not to praise him One thing that can be said of him 1! that he began life aright. He was borr in Maine. That was a proper begin ming. Before he went to West Poin he laid the founda ton for learning b! graduating from Bowdoin college where perhaps all our very best ctti zens were educated. With such star in life and such a foundation on wl1ici to build no wonder that it is a statel! mansion which we see.
 Although I have a right to wea this button and do wear it because i honors me and because I cherish th, memories of the great days which gav' it birth rejoice to testify with all O you that General Howard is not ob'iget to rest upon his military glory, high a; it is, for his life in peace mas beer a! full of devotion to duty as his life il 1 war.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

Appleton. Wis.-Damages for the ac- cidental killing of his deceased wife's first husband are likely to be awarded to c. W. Staeffler of this city. The de- fendant is the Menasha Woodenware company. The remarkable case is on hearing here before Judge Goodland, and after a secret conference between him and the attorneys on both sides it was asserted without contradiction to- day that the case would be taken from the jury's hands and a decision render ed for the plaintiff.
 Christ Schmidt, a fireman employed by the defendant concern, was killed July l, 1894, by the blowing out of a boiler plug, which allowed the steam to escape and scalded him to death.

Attempted Suicide.

Because his affairs had not beer
running smoothly, Samuel Krauss,
a young farmer, living at Kinsey-
vile, Little Britain township, Pa,
attempted to end his troubles and
his life Wednesday of last week.
On that day he turned up missing
and a, search was instituted. He
vas found, apparently dead, in the
woods near his home the next after
noon. After rolling the limp body
over, signs of life appeared, and
Krauss was eventually brought
around with the services of a ply
stefan. He admitted having taken
landanum, with suicidal intent,
but an overdose probably saved
him. Krluss has recovered from
the effects of the laubanum but is
critically i'll with pneumonia, the
result Of his exposure in the woods
over night.

The Trusts of New Jersey.

Last year New Jersey incorporated
trusts whose combined capital amounted
to $2,446, 500. 900. The trusts are now
stronger than the government and defy
its laws. Since the administration of
Mckinley trusts have multiplied as never
before in the history of the world. They
dictated his Cabinet. The money trust
selected their national banker for Secre-
tary of the Treasury. They went to New
Jersey, the home of the trusts, and select
ed their greatest attorney for Mr.. McKin-
ley's Attorney General, and he laughs at
the trust law in place of executing it.
No young man has longer all oppor-
tunity to create an independent business.
He must be clerk or wage slave under a
trust. No co partnership business can
live in the trust field. No small iucor-
porsted business can long stand if trust
wants to occupy its field of trade. Big
trust stores are sweeping the small stores
into oblivion This condition of affairs
in our industrial world has all grown up
within twenty years. Let the young men
consider their dependent condition and
prepare to oppose its further advances.

Work For Jail Birds.

The following provision became a
law by action of the late legislature:
To provide for the employment OF
the prisoners in the county jails
and in the House of Correction in
preparing material and construct.
ing country roads.
We have not seen the details of
the law but if it will furnish work
for a class who have found the jail
a comfortable boarding house free
of charge, rather than punish
ment for crime, it will prove a val
liable law.

has awaited long and been appro-
priated often for public improve
ment in Cecil. The other is named
the Rising Sun, North East and Elk
