At Evenfall.

Soft creep the shadows along the hill.
The loud wheel stops and theworld is still;
And glad as child at Its mothers call.
Is the hoine-bound heart at eyen-fall.
AT evenfall is rest!
Tho day brings labor and strife and pain;
Heavy the burden and sore the strain.
But the home-bound heart forgets 1t all
In the peace that comes a. evenfall.
At eyenfall is rest!
Fresh as q flower that lifts Its head.
BY the dews OF twilight comforted;
Light rs bird let loose from thrall
Is the home-bound heart at evenfall.
At evenfall is rest!

Of the present needs of the Philippines
Legislation is much needed for the
Philippines, said Lala, when seen at
his hotel. 1--WE poor Filipinos need a
stable currency. We cannot dc busi-
ness with the States without having a
fixed standard of money. In the old
days silver was generally worth three.
fourths as much as gold and at the
worst two for one. But now silver
and it is a silver country, though the
government demands all it's payments
in go1d-silver is lower yet, $2.37 for
every dollar in gold. To secure s400
in gold when | was leaving for the
States had to pay something like
$3.50 in silver The worst of 1t is that
there is no established ratio The
commission can make 1t anything they
see fit. The islands need railroads.
They need more reliable labor for my
country, for the laboring class are very
uncertain. If they make few dol
lars, they don't care to work until the

WilkesbarYe, Pa, Oct. 24.-The min
ing of coal with union miners was re.
sumed in the Wyoming valley during
the morning. There was much activity
at all of the collieries, but owing to
the condition of many of tie mines
the full quota of men could not be
employed. The fire bosses reported
that many places were in dangerous
condition and the superintendent re-
fused to allow the miners to enter
those places. At least Is per cent OF
the mines in this department will not
be able to resume work for several
weeks. as the lower lifts are still flood
ed. The Stanton mine of the Lehigh
and Wilkesbarre Coal company, which
employs 600 men, will not be able to
start up for two months. There was
no friction between the union and nom
union men when they reported for
work. 1t is reported that in a few iso-
lated cases miners who took a prom
inent part in the strike were not given
work. The nonunion engineers and
pump runners are holding on to their
positions and refuse to give them up
to make room for union men. A num-
Der of old engineers, pumpmen and
firemen again applied for their old po-
sitions but were told chat there were
no vacancies at present. Old em-
ployes who have failed to get their
places back are reporting the fact to

INCREASED COST OF LIVING.

The full dinner pail was the
paramount Republican argument a
few years ago. If that party was
responsible for such happy con-
dition of affairs it will also have to
be credited with the increase or de
crease in the cost of living.
Following are some of the con-
clusions taken from the tables of
the Massachusetts Bureau of Stat
istics, published in 1902:
Since 1897 prices have varied as
follows:
Wheat flour, for family use, de-
creased 10. II per cent.
Oolong tea increased 16.3S per
cent
Coffee of the green variety is one
of the necessities that went down,
the decrease being 20. 40 per cent.
GranuIated sugar is also s. 70 per
cent less in price.
Common soap costs 33 5S per
cent more, aud starch I'LL per
cent.
A great increase is shown In the
price of meats.
Beef ranges from 90S to 80 per
cent. higher III value.
Fore quarters Of mutton are
46. 90 per cent. more valuable than
5 years ago
Fresh pork shows a 40 per cent.
gain, aud Salted pork 3.0S per cent.
Sausages are up 1897 per cent.
and butter, lard, cheese. milk and
potatoes show substantial rises in
selling value,
While coal has been soaring,
wood has come down from 1872 to
3.55 per cent.
Thus in the last five years the
cost of living has increased forty
per cent; but while wages may
have increased some, they certainly
have not been advanced forty per
cent.-Memphis Appeal

GETTING RID or STUMPS.

Flowing IN stnmpy ground where
the implement strikes a root OF
stump every few feet is anything
but pleasant operation; and is
particularly unpleasant if the day
happens to be hot and dry.
There are several ways to get rid
of stumps, all Of which are practi-
cal enough and viii do the work
First, blow them mp. Gunpowder
will not do this but dynamite will.
A careful man can do this without
danger, or at least with no more
danger than with powder; but a
hireling or needless fellow should
not be allowed to handle the stuff
at all, or he may blow himself and
everybody else around out of ex-
istence. The process is this
place a cartridge of dynamite in q
cavity made by long straight
crowbar underneath the stump,
tamp well and explode the cap,
using a small electrical apparatus.
Be sure always to retreat safe
distance from the stump in good
time.
Second, make sheetiron chin
ney about five feet high and wide
enough to go over stump, build a
fire on the inside, and the draft
will cause it to consume the
stump if it is well seasoned and
there has been long spell of dry
weather just preceding.
Third, bore a hole in the stump
with two-inch auger eighteen
incher deep and gil it with kero-
sene, plug up and leave for IA few
months, fire, and it is said they
will burn down to the roots. We
can not vouch for this.
Fourth, most trustworthy of all
the plan of extracting them by ma
chinery A tripod standing about
eight or nine feet high is placed
over the stump, a powerful screw
reaches down to the stump and is
attached to a chain which is placed
around a leading lateral. A horse
is then attached to the sweep and
the screw slowly lifts the stump
from the earth. The chain being
hitched to a side-root it exerts 0
much greater power than it woult
pulling the stump perpendicularly

THE THIRD DISTRICT DEMOCRATS.

Mr.. st. Clair Adam has just re-
turned from spellbinding tour of
the Third Congressional District,
now so ably represented in Con
gress by the Hon. K. f. Broussard,
and had the following to say on the
political situation from a Demo
cratic view point:
"This is my second canvas
through this district in the interest
of Mr.. Broussard, and while on my
first visit the Republicans showed
some strength, aud you could see
them with the naked eye, am
gra.ltied to say that on the present
trip | was unable to see any, even
with the aid of search warrant
and opera glasses. Without levity,
it is my Judgment, and the judg-
ment of all Democrats in those
parts, that the Republican Party
will not cast at the coming election
Is per cent of the entire vote. |
spoke in Assumption, st. Mary and
Lafourche, and in all those par
ishes the Democratic Party is
united and aggressive, and the
Sheriffs' books show that great
number of poll taxes have been
paid. In St. Mary there is quail
fed vote of 1,60O. The sentiment
in the parish seems to be against
the repeal of the poll tax qualifca-
ton as prerequisite to voting, and
l will venture the prediction that
the constitutional amendment which
will be voted upon by the people at
this election repeating the poll tax
clause of the Constitution Of 1898
will be rejected. Tbepeople regard
the poll tax qualification as an ad-
ditional safeguard against negro
suffrage, and are determined to let
the law remain an ornamental part
of the Constitution. Owing to the
action of Mr.. Roosevelt in advocat-
ing SO strennously the reciprocity
measure that was before the last
Congress that contemplated taking
off the 20 per cent of the duty on
Cuban sugar, a great many of the
sugar planters in the Third District
are returning to the Democratic
Party, as they rightly believe that
the Republican party is inlmical to
their interests, aud that they have
more to hope from the success of
the Democrats. 1t is patent even
to the intelligence of ping-pong
player that Mr.. Roosevelt and his
party have no sympathy with the
South and her interests, and the
sugar man has at last opened his
eyes to the true situation, thank
Allah. 1t is my prediction, with
ont claiming the talents of the for
tune-teller, that Mr.. Broussard will
receive IS per cent of the total vote
cast, and make the Republican
party retire to the extreme rear for
a couple of years yet to come"
