THE GOLD OF AUTUMN.

The gold of autmn's glory
From summers wealth is born
How bleak would be the twilight gray,
Remembering not the morn
And as sweet May was joyous,
And jocund June was fair,
Eovember's tints the richer glow
That in their colors share!
Lifc's mcllowest songs OF evening
Come from youths splendid prime
How harsh must that souls vespers be
That loved not in loves timel
And as that love was tender
And strong and true and high,
So is the singers voice most sweet
That sings such love gone by!

POWERFUL COMBINE.
Two Big New York Trust Companies
To Unite.

New York, Feb. 2-According to the
Times the Morton Trust company which
was Incorporated last July, with ex-
Governor Levi P. Morton at its head, is
to absorb the State Trust company
The merger was virtually settled at
a meeting of the men who have been
carrying the negotiations through. The
consolidated company, which will bear
the name of the Morton Trust company,
will have a capital stock of 81, 000, 900,
and a surplus and undivided profits of
well over 81, 500, 900.
The negotiations have been conducted
principally, it is understood, by ex-
Secretary of the Navy William G. Whit
ney who is a director in the Morton
company, as well as q trustee in the
State Trust company; by Ex-Governor
Morton and by George G. Haven, a
trustee in the Morton company.
On the side of the Morton Trust COM
pany figure such names as John Jacob
Aston, Henry NJ. F1agler, D. o. Mills,
A. D. Juilliard, President Richard A.
McCurdy of the Mutual Life Insurance
company, and Ex-Governor Morton,
while members OF the Whitney Syndi-
cate, dominant in the Metropolitan

of electric concerns, including besides
Mr.. Whitney, Thomas f. Ryan and P.

NEW USE FOR GOATS.
Farmer Finds They Are Excellent
Weed and Brush Destroyers.

If the farmers of Kansas are expe-
rtenclng difficulty, and many of them
are, no doubt, in Kidding their pastures
of buck-brush, sumac, jimpson and
other such enemies to the growth of
grass, the Angora goat is recommended
as the most successful destroyer in ex-
istence.
When the goats have consumed all
of the brush to be found and the pas
ture IS ready for the cattle and sheep
which will not eat the shrubbery, the
Angora goat may be marketed as NUT
ton.
This goat comprises at least part
of the mutton and lamb meat being
sold by the great packing houses, and
1t is claimed that the aesthetic tastes
of some Lawrence people are satisfied
only when in touch with this new sub
St1tute for the Old-faShioned, WOOlly
tasting sheep. The goat, it is said by
epicures, does not contain this objec-
tionable woolly taste.
These facts are set forth in letter
to one of the state departments written
by c. R. Johnson, of Lawrence. Mr..
Johnson writes of his doleful expert
ences with buck brush, the small shrub
which Is overrunning the pastures of
Kansas. He states that all sorts of ex-
terminating efforts failed until. acting
upon the advice of friend, he tried the
Angora goat.
The day Mr.. Johnson bought the goats
the very weeds began to tremble In the
on the Wakarusa. Cattle tramped the
prairie grass out of the pasture and
blue grass grew in its place.
Then came alarms as tc the total loss
Of the pasture because of the invasion
Of the buck brush All remedies failed,
until Mr.. Johnson landed 1,150 Angora
goats on his farm. He turned the goats
loose in the field. This is the result,
described by Mr.. Johnson himself:
My friends guyed me about the
goats. but when thoW n1nnPe6 ClQ9 u
ing the weeds and brush off my farm,
the people changed their tune.
These goats stripped every leaf off
the brush six feet from the ground
they cleaned every leaf and berry off
the buck-brush, and are now browsing
the tops. The goats eat hickory, black
and ground oak leaves, jimpson, smart
weed, iron weed cotton weed, velvet
weeds. all of, which no other animal
will touch.
''They barked the sumachs and all
the brush in sight and reach, and
would not touch the blue grass until
all these other things were gone.
These goats eat anything and con-
vert waste and weeds into money.
while every farmer spends money to do
this. The goat will do the business
properly if given a chance"
Another advantage for the goats.
They are dog proof, because they are
able to whip an ordinary sheep-steal-
ing cur without difficulty.
Then, too. the wool clip of these ami
mails is worth from 40 to so cents a
pound, according to quality.
Mr.. Johnson hopes to live to see the
dawn of the day when every farmer
will have a flock of these goats consum-
ing the farm weeds.
In conclusion, Mr.. johnson says he
is supplying mutton and Angora ven
ison to a Lawrence butcher out of the
same skin.

CANADIAN PARLIAMENT
Opens With Great Pomp but Executes
Little Business.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 2-There was a
larger attendance at the opening of the
Dominion parliament than had been
the case for some years past. The
usual military pomp and social display
were not lacking. The governor gem
erals speech from the throne was a
very lengthy document, but contained
little that was new. The only bill of
Importance promised is a redistribu-
ton of seats bill. Besides a reference
to the war in South Africa and to the
prosperity of the country, the subject
&of extending the trade of the country
was touched on, the governor general
saying:
Negotiations are now In progress
with several of our sister colonies in
the West Indies, which it is hoped may
result in increasing and developing our
trade with those islands and probably
with certain portions Of the adjacent
continent of South America"
Mr. Bourassa asked that the cores
pondence between the Canadian govern
ment and the British government in
regard to the war in South Africa be
presented to the house before the de-
bate on the address was proceeded with,
and Sir Wilfrid Laurier agreed to this.
To permit of this being done the house
adjourned until Monday next.

PROPOSED BOTTLE TRUST.
Plans to Incorporate Failed Because
of Lack of Financial Aid.

New York, Feb. 2.-The glass bottle
syndicate which secured options on
about a score of factories in the middle
states and New England last fall, with
the idea of organizing them under one
company with a capital of $12,000.00
has found difficulty it is said, in rails
ing the necessary funds.
1t was said today that some of the
valuations placed on factories by their
owners who were asked to join the
combination We're so high that the syn
dictate found it impracticable to take
them under serious consideration. OPP
lions on all the leading glass bottle fac
tories were obtained last fall and the
option was to have expired on January
l. 1900. An extension was secured, how
ever, and all last month the syndicate
worked with the factory owners to get
the valuation down. Inability to do
this, coupled with the fact that the
financing of industrials has been dis
continued by some investors, has
brought about a practical abandonment
Of the whole plan, it is said.

Philadelphia Record: The Colorado
Editorial association has followed up
the action taken by the Pennsylvania
editors by unanimously agreeing to
resolutions demanding the repeal Of the
tariff duties on wood pulp and paper.
They also invite the publishers of the
country to send representatives to the
convention of the National Editorial
association, which is to be held in New
Orleans on February &c, in order that
a more aggressive demand may be
made for immediate congressional ac-
ton. The cost of white paper has been
advanced in the west from 81 to 10 per
cent. in the past two years, and has
made such serious inroads upon the
profits Of many newspapers. as to Sc
riously curtail their usefulness. There
is undoubtedly a legitimate reason for
part of the advance in the price of
paper growing out of enormous demand
and the increasing cost of wood pulp,
as there have been similar advances In
the prices of nearly all manufactured
STAPLES; but the tariff duties enable
the paper trust to push the Price beyond
the level of the general outside market.
Access to the forest supplies of Canada
has become a necessity because of our
own failing resources. The paper and
pulp duties are in the nature of a tax
on intelligence; they should never have
been enacted, and the sooner they shall
be repealed the better.

Great Northern Tralnmen Will Prob
ably Go Out Tonight

st. Paul. Mimi. Feb. 1.-The Great
Northern railroad labor situation is criti-
cal today. A conference will be held late
this afternoon, but neither side seems to
hope for a peaceable settlement, though
they propose to do all possible. save
yielding. The railroad officials continue
their preparations to fill the places of any
who may leave their employ. During the
night 200 men came in from Chicago and
other points, and were at once sent along
the line of the road. being dropped in
small detachments at points where they
may be needed. One hundred and fifty
more are expected at noon today and they
will also be Immediately sent to their
designated designation to await orders.
Messrs. Lee and Clark of the Orders of
Trainsmen and Conductors, arrived to-
day and are canvassing the vote of the
employees of the road. They say they
can do only what that vote orders, and
that while they hope for arbitration and
a peaceable settlement, there is nothing
in the Constitutions of their organizations
requiring arbitration Before midnight to-
night it will be known whether strike
has been ordered.

At present there is no provision for
any kind of an exhibit at Paris to dis

than the samples of Kansas corn which
the Topeka Commercial club forwarded
to Washington few weeks ago. There
is now no time to prepare an exhibit.
even if the necessary funds were forth
coming, but the Commercial club wishes
to do something more to advertise the
resources of Kansas to the millions who
will attend the Paris exposition.
The suggestion has been made that
an attractive booklet be published, set
ting forth the resources of the state in
order to get a share of the deSira BILE
immigration from European shores to
America to come to Kansas. 1t is this
proposition which will be considered at
