sPL1CED THE COLORED FOLKS
Hot Weather No Barrier to Wiles of
Cupid,

Yesterday morning, while the mer-
curry mounted away up near the hun
dred notch and the intense heat almost
Frustrated with apoplexy the marble
soldier on the monument at the court
house, two perspiring darkies, male
and female, of course, drifted in and
demanded a dollars worth of matri-
monial bliss with watermelons on the
SIDE. Justice Graham, with an eagle
eye upon the rendered dollar, called
the game promptly, while the colored
janitor woke up the sleeping citizens
in the front corridor and, after the style
of him who sought guests in the high
ways and hedges, invited them to the
marriage feast. The groom sweated,
and rivulets of perspirat1on came reek-
ing from the brow and other sections
of the bride, but they bravely stood the
ordeal and were duly sentenced to life
servitude. Within ten minutes there
after the snoring at the front of the
temple was resumed, and the sleepers
dreamed only of bridal cake and we'd
ding marches.

The officers here are on the lookout

is any than a "soft" thing, Couch was
doing two years job in the convict
camp at Pitts, having been sent down
from Americus more than q year ago
But convict life held no charms for
Couch, especially with the watermelon
season on, so he took French leave and
flew the fence, along with John Black
shear, another blackbird. By reason
of good behavior Couch had only about
eight months more time to reel off.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF TRUSTS.

In June Success Sir Henry M. Stan
lev, the famous explorer and politi-
clan, writes about American trusts.
He says:
TRUSTS are dangerous, and We do
not vet know the limits of their perils.
The present menace lies in the in
crease of prices. Should they crush
out competitors and obtain a monop-
oily, they can fix their own prices and
people must pay them. Competition
means reasonable prices. Monopoly,
if it means anything, means high
prices. Personally have a mistrust
of trusts. They seem to me to SAVIOR
so much of stock exchange manip-
ulation aud speculation that
have never been able to overcome my
feeling against them. England, in
common with America, shares the
sentiment. Ia America, owing to the
tariff, people already pay very high
prices for nearly every thing they re-
quire; and If trusts obtain monopolies
and further increase prices, there is
no saying how far the matter may
90. At present the trust system is
but little developed. 1t is applied TO
very few products. Its potentialities,
however, are unbounded. The trust
is the pebble thrown into the pool
the pebble which causes an ever
widening circle whose limit cannot be
foreseen.
"A powerful com bination OF monop-
oily trusts behind the government
would be danger. The high intelli-
gence of the men at their head would
be powerless to shape their policy in
certain conjunctures. Suppose 2 trust
having killed all competition, and
paying dividends of 10 per cent en-
counters circumstances which render
it necessary to enhance prices in order
to maintain that dividend. Subse-
quent occurrences of untoward cir
cumstances might send prices up to
an exorbitant figure"

The Bangor News remarks that
while the last five of the 10 COM
mandments have been badly frac-
tured in China, and while, by a sin
gular fatality that has appeared in
nearly all the great battles of recent
years. the day that the fourth COM
mandment declares shall be kept holy
has been the scene of the sharpest
battles, the commandment that
touches most directly on the Chinese
controversies is that which says

Read 1t in His Newspaper.

George Schaub. a well known citi-
zen of New Lebanon, Ohio. is con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
TO advertise only the best in its col
umns, and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back he did not hesitate in
buying bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered the most
terrible pains in her back and could
get no relief. He says: AFTER using
the Pain Balm for few days my wife
said to me, Il feel as though born
anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful, and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This
valuable liniment is for sale by all
druggists.

there ever been a woman who has

Ella Wheeler Wilcox answers this
question in the negative and declares
that even in the essentially feminine
vocations of cooking, dressmaking
and millinery men excel women.
Women, says Mrs. Wilcox, "have
not the concentration which gives a

THERE rs NO CONSTITUTION. !,

The Bloomington Paragraph, a
very earnest and faithful republican
paper, edited with extreme care and
not little ability. is evidently out of
patience with the kind of republican
ism that is now rampant in its party.
The following sarcastic paragraph is
only one, of several that have recently
appeared in its columns equally eX-
pressive of its disgust with its Politi-
cal environments:
I'VE are told that the constitution
does not follow the flag. As matter
of fact there is no constitution. There
was one, but it is out of print. 1t was
found to be two centuries in advance
of the times in these days of swift
retrogressioD, of wars of conquest and
European feudalism."
