Railroad Matters at Utica.

Chas. Belden of Utica while in the
city last Friday said that while pres
INT indications pointed to the con.
struction of a railroad below Phil
brook in his opinion there was moth
ing certain about it, and although il
was a certainty in his mind that a
road would traverse the Basin this
year he didn't think the exact route
lad been fully determined upon. On
being questioned as to the effect the
road would have on Utica he stated
that if it did not come any nearer
than below Philbrook it would not
make much difference but il by any
chance it went through by Hobson's
there was no doubt but that the town
would move to the railroad.

The Anaconda Standard in a recent
editorial calls attention to the sur
prising demand for books Of fiction
which has sprung up in the United
States during the past year. That a
great deal of trash is offered for sale
cannot be gainsaid. OF this feature
the Standard says: much of this
fiction that is scattered broadcast
from the publishers %groaning presses
is the veriest trash, although of a
much better quality than the stuff
that filed the old family story papers
twenty years ago. Yet much of it is
pernicious, and the problem of how tc
direct the public taste to better men
tai food has become a question of i'm
portance to librarians who recognize
the growth OF the fiction evil. There
/; no doubt but that united action by
the librarians OF the country could be
made to result in the creation of Q
higher popular standard of literary
taste. II has been proposed that nc
work of fiction be bought until ii hat
gone through the test of a year, but
this. while in harmony with Elmer
sons advice. would exclude the good
with the bad and, after all. a standard
Of literary taste cannot be created in
any such arbitrary fashion. If people
read trashy novels it is because the,
have trashy minds. They get whal
they demand. The creation OF better
taste must begin with the readers il
the building up of sturdy character
and cultured minds" The author who
Is smart enough to give his book 9
catchy title is almost sure to get read
crs whether his productions are of an,
real value or not, and the works oI
new authors are in greater demand
than those of the old. This can hard
ly be looked upon as a sign of intel
lectual Improvement though il may
mean wealth to the authors and book
! sellers.

Goodwin and myself were running
the Walnut Street theater in Phila-
delphia, the stage carpenter, who was
working at Ford's theater the night
of the assassination, put in an APP
pearance at the Walnut Street the
alter. He informed Mr.. Goodwin (they
had been friends for many years. in
a confidential manner that he had in
his possession something that had
caused him great anxiety. The car
penter, whose name 1 do not recall,
told Mr.. Goodwin in my presence that
he had the Derringer that Booth had
used TO murder Lincoln.
THE reason he had not said any
thing about it prior to that time, he
said, was because he was afraid of
being arrested. The carpenter said
he picked it up on the stage of Ford's
theater after Booth had fed to Vir-
ginia. He pocketed the weapon and
kept it a secret. He drew up a state
ment of the occurrence and signed it
in our presence. Then he gave the
Derringer to Mr.. Goodwin. When Mr..
Goodwin died his widow made me a
present of the weapon, together with
the stage carpenters signed state
ment."
Mr.. Plowman prizes the weapon
very highly, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, and no amount of money could
purchase it.

The Spirit OfWinter.

The Spirit OF Winter is with US, maxi
ing its presence known in many different
ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine
and glistening SHOWS, and sometimes by
driving winds aud binding storms To
many people it seems to take a delight
in making bad things worse. for rheuma-
tism twists harder. lwingcs sharper, ca
tarrah becomes more annoying, and the
many SYMPTOMS OF scroiula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much poe
try in this, but there is f'1kh. and it is a
wonder that more people don't get rid of
these ailments. The medicine that cures
them Hoods SArssparilla-is easily OBJ
tanned and there is abundant proof that
its cures are radical and permanent.
