the Rolls.

Bay City, Mich, Sept. 25.-Members
Of the tax commission came here for
the purpose of reviewing the tax rolls
of Bay City, West Bay City and some
townships. The assessing officers Of
both cities declined to produce the
rolls, stating that they are now in the
hands Of the treasurer for collection
Ind the assessors had no authority to
produce them. Commissioner Freeman
pmade a peremptory demand on the
Bay City assessors for their tax roll,
backing it up with a declaration that if
not produced he would go into the
courts to compel them to meet his de-
mands. The assessors have not COM
piled with the demand.

Fredensborg is a much more modern struc-
ture, dating from 1720. when it was COM
pleted and SO named from the peace Freil
that was concluded here, which put an
end to the eleven years war; between
Denmark and Sweden. The castle, a sort
Of Danish Versailles on small scale. is
situated in the midst of one of the finest
sylvan scenes in the world. and 1t is fron1-
ed by q statue of the Goddess of Peace If

by portraits of Mary Queen of Scots, curl

had several points in common-was fronted
with well known motto, "Fortissima con-
silia tatissima.' "The boldest policy is the
safest" Outside on the terrace of the
Palace of Peace an old brass cannon bears
the inscription, Ultima ratio regum," .'The

THE IsTHMIAN TROUBLES.
Foreign and Home Views of Our
Policy Contrast Strangely.

Odessa Letter to the London Standard.
In political circles at St. Petersburg a
somewhat serious view is taken OF the po-
tentialities of the conflict between Vene-
zuela and Colombia and its possible sequel.
In the pride and glory Of their lately de-
veloped moral and material strength and
the expansive ambition created by their
success in the Spanish war the United
States, it is said, is manfesting signif-
cant inclination to impose the Monroe doc
trine on the southern states Of the Ameri-
can continent. The opportunity afforded
by the present Venezuela-Colombia struggle
is so far opportune to the newly born and
imperialistic aspirations of the Washington
government, inasmuch as England, owing
to her ENHANCEMENT in South Africa, Is
unable for the time being to intervene on
behalf of Venezuela in virtue of the Bull
wer-Clayton treaty. 1t is obvious to the
least attentive of political students that
the revolutions and petty wars, which for
the last generation have been chronic TO
South America, point unmistakably to the
ultimate necessity of those distracted states
confederating themselves with a great
power sufficiently strong to guarantee peace
and security to the comfy Of lesser ma
tions, and the United States is eventually
and inevitably to be the dominating factor
in the whole of the southern continent.
This opens up a vista which Europe can
not unconcernedly contemplate. 1t means,
in fact, and probably before the century Is
many decades old, that the United States
of Northern and Southern America will be
in a position to dictate to Europe, unless.
contemporaneouslys . with that consumma-
ton. the European powers are all leagued
in a similarly huge and defensive confed-
Grafton. and it is a moot question whether
even such colossal combination would be
able to prevent America from dominating
the Pacific and playing dictatory part in
the affairs of eastern Asia.
Russian politicians are given to looking
very far ahead of current events. and in
this forecast it may be that their premises
and conclusions are alike a little unreason-
able and fantastic; but they are not alto
gether devoid of a certain far-sighted
shrewdness. Commercially the order of the
day in the United States is the formation
of huge and monopolistic trusts; the for
mation of political trust such as that OF
bringing the South American states into the
northern confederation may possibly have
an irresistible attraction to the present or
to the next Washington government.

BOYDS, Nd, October Q. 1901.
The presbytery of Washington city held
Its annual session with the Neelsville Pres
byterian Church at NeelsvilIe, near Ger
martown, commencing Monday evening.
About twenty-five ministers were present
from Washington and all parts of the coun-
ty The opening sermon was delivered
Monday evening by Rev. Robert A. David
son of Falls Church, Va. After this SER
mon an election for moderator took place
Ter of Anacostia.
Sessions were held yesterday from 10
O'Clock am. until o clock pm, and a good
deal of business was considered by the diff
ferent committees. A temperance meeting
was held in the church last night, Rev. J.
B. Wilson of Assembly's Church. Washing
ton. and Rev. G. A. Wilson of the Western
Church of Washington delivering addresses.
The meeting was presided over by Rev.
Chas. A. Smith of Beck Memorial Chapel,
Washington, and solo was sung by Elder
Linton of Washington.
All the meetings were well attended, espe-
cially the temperance meeting last night,
persons from all parts of the county being
in attendance. Two very large and spacious
tents were erected on the church lawn and
over one hundred persons were served with
lunch. After the temperance meeting last
night the session adjourned until next year.
Neelsville Presbyterian Church, in which
the session was held is beautiful little
edifice situated on the road leading from
Germantown station on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad to Cedar Grove, about three
miles from Germantown. A large congre-
cation worships there. Rev. T. Davis
Richards Is pastor of the church.
Mr.. Richard H Thompson of the vicinity
of Comus, this county, was badly injured
While out driving in a wagon at Buck
Lodge station, near Boyd's, yesterday. Mr..
Thompson runs little country store, about
four miles from here. and drove to the sta
ton at Buck-Lodge to get some merchan-
disc that had been shipped there for him. A
passing locomotive frightened his horse,
causing 1t to run away. He was thrown
out, landing partly on his head and shoul-
ders. He was rendered unconscious by the
fall, and was taken home His condition is
considered to be serious. He is about sixty
years of age. and has been in feeble health
for number Of years.
A wire cable slipped and struck six of the
Workmen on the ballast train that is used
in the new improvements on the Baltimore
and Ohio road near Alberton, badly injur-
ing them. The men were sent to the hos
pital In Baltimore for treatment. The cable
was attached to a plow at one end of the
train and stationary engine was at the
other end on a fiat car provided for 1t, and
as the engine runs it drags the plow across
the cars to sweep the dirt or other ma
terial off the cars. This does away with
handling the dirt or stone with shoves, the
new device being much quicker. All of the
injured men are white, and live along the
Washington Junction. Those injured were

Donald, Frank Fields, John Schiell ard

accomplish anything at all. simply give transient

The catarrhal poison is in the blood and the
mucous membrane Of the nose, throat and trachea
tries to relieve the system by secreting large
quantities OF mucous the discharge sometimes
closing mp the nostrils. dropping into throat,
causing deafness by closing the Eustachian tubes
and after time causing cntarrh Of stomach
or serious throat and lung tronhles
A remedy TO really catarrh must be an In
ternsl remedy which Will cleanse the blood from
catarrhal poison and remove the fever and
jestion from the mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies for this
purpose are antiseptics scientifically known az
Eucaiyptol, Guaicol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin,
and while each Of these have been successfully
used separately yet It has been dnacuIt to get
them all combined in palatabie convenient
and efficient form.
The manufacturers Of the catarrh cure,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have succeeded admira-
bly, in accomplishing this result. They are large
pleasant-tasting lozeages, TO be dissolved In he
mouth. thus reaching every part OF the mucous
membrane OF the throat and finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies. Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets contsin no cocaine opate or any injurious

HYDE Park.

From the Saturday Review.
Hyde Park is no longer available for the
use or delectatfon of self-respecting peo-
pie. We have taken the pains to make a
personal study of 1T and at noon one day
we counted thirty-two cases Of drunken
ness among women and forty-five among
men. all Of whom were lying upon the
grass. some only partially dressed, some
using fearful imprecations and obscene
language Of the foulest kind, while others
were actually changing their underwear
In broad daylight. The lowest type of mig
ger on the west coast of Africa would

Decrease in Crime,

From the London Chronicle.
The question whether the advance of civ
nization brings with it a corresponding
decrease in crime is one of perennial in
terest to society. Statistics can proyer-
blally be made to prove anything. and if
is open~to argument whether the amount
OF crime in the country at any particular
time corresponds directly with the number
OF prisoners convicted. But the total num-
Der of convictions represents, at any rate.
the nearest approach to exactness that we
are likely to attain. So far, then. as sta =
tstics go, the prison report of the pa st
year shows that crime is decreasing yery
perceptlbly in proportion to the popula-
ton. During the past forty years the rate
per 100000 of serious crime has decreased
from 13.4 to 23 This result is undoubted-
ly encouraging, and seems to show that
education and the other disciplinary influ-
ences Of society are slowly but surely do
ing their work.

INCREASING CORN EXPORTS.
Half the World Readily Taking Our
Corn and Glad to Get 1t.

Corn and Glad to Get 1t.
From the New York Sun.
Prior to the year 1891 the shipments of
American corn to foreign countries were
comparatively unimportant, amounting In
that year to only 30, 100000 bushels of the
value of SIT 900 600 in total exports of $780,
100000. Since the great increase in the for
eign commerce of the United States which
followed the restoration of public conf
dence after March 4, 1897 there has been
extensive and almost phenomenal in
crease in the foreign market for American
corn.
The figures for the three fiscal years are
1899, 74,0S9,4SS bushels; 1900 209. .31s. .2s4
bushels; 1900, 209, 9,34s ,2S4 bushels; 1901 (to
date, III, ST ,965 bushels.
The value Of the exports Of American
corn to foreign countries was $50, 900 600
last year, and the shipments were $1,000 .O0O
bushel to Great Britain, 81 900 600 bushels
to Germany 100000 bushels to France,
Al ,OOO, 900 to other European countries, TO-
$1,000 bushels to Canada and to British
North American provinces; 100000 BUSH
els to Mexico, 1900 900 bushels to Cuba
the exports of American corn to Cuba
have almost tripled in three years. S25 600
bushels to Africa, 7S5,0OO bushels to the
West Indian Islands Exclusive of Cuba
and Porto Rico) and the balance to Cen
trail American and South American states
and to Asia.
There is practically little expectation Of
American corn to either South America or
Australia, but other countries are steadily
increasing their demand for this impor-
tant American cereal, which is as distinct
~ an agricultural product Of the United
States as is cotton. Various reasons have
been assigned from time to time by per-
sons claiming familiarity with the subject
to explain why American corn is not non
ular abroad but the prosaic fact is that
1t is not only very popular, but is increas-
ing in amount each year, the number of
countries which furnish markets for Ameri-
can corn being larger each year.
In the month of June, 1901, the shinments
OF American corn footed up nearly 10. 600 =
600 bushels, of which 1900, 900 went to Ger
many.

From the Chicago Tribune
Fred Harris. an express messenger on the
Illinois Central, had an experience which
he does not care to repeat He was on
train No. %, and just after leaving Gem
tralia, ILL.,, settled back in his chair and
dropped into a doZe. He was awakened
shortly by tickling under his chin and
drowsily opened his eyes to discover the
coils of monstrous snake lying across his
breast, its restless head waving under his
chin. 1t Is hardly necessary to state that
stantaneous and lightning moves in that
car look like six counterfeit nickeis He
also awoke to the fact that while one
snake is bad, several are worse In a geo.
metrical proportion, and he was soon on
a pile of baggage surveying a den of rattle
snakes. The reptiles were a consignment
from Tampa, Fla, to Chicago, and had
made their escape while Mr.. Harris slept.
