J. H. Rumrill, a native of Boston, has just died at the age of seventy after being king of one of the. canni- bal islands for nearly fifty years.
 The $2,oO0,OOO plant of the Troy Steel company was sold at auction this week for $525, GOO. A. r. Donovan of St Louis was the bidder, but he would not disclose who his principals were.

The first tangible contribution to science by the Carnegie institution has just been made It consists of a sub stantial appropriation'' for the purpose of establishing what will be the finest biological laboratory in the world, to I,a located at Woods Hole, Mass. There is already a biological laboratory at that place maintained by the Uniyer- sity of Chicago and many scientists combine pleasure and study by spend ing their summer vacations there. It has not yet been definitely determined whether the institution will purchase inc present laboratory or whether an entirely new laboratory will be es- tabIished. The location of the town makes it a particularly desirable site for such an institution, for the study of the great problem of life is now turning in the director of marine spec fmens and the lower orders of creation have already served to enlighten sci entists on many points heretofore un- discovered. It has been found, for in- stance. that the eggs of the sea urchin can be developed by. electricity and without fertilization, this being but one of the many remarkable phenom- ena revealed by recent study of sea fauna.

'
 The past week in Washington mas been singularly free from political de- yelopments,. says a correspondent. With practically every member of the cabinet as well as the president out of the city, few politicians of note have sought the national capital. The speech made by Secretary Shaw at Morrisville, Vt has attracted wide at tention. Coming from a member or the cabinet and an Iowa man it is of especial interest as serving to define the position of the administration in regard to the tariff. The democrat ie headquarters in Washington is the scene of much activity and apparently inc country is being flooded with cam paign literature The nomination by the president of Judge Oliyer Wendell Holmes to succeed Justice Gray on the supreme bench receives the com mendation of all who know Judge Holmes. It is now believed that Jus tiee shiras will retire in the near fu- ture and the gossips are busy specu- lating on his probable successor. At torney General Knox and ex-Attorney General Griggs are both mentioned as possibilities.

 Mayor Charters has withdrawn from the race. The primaries will be held in this city Monday and if either of the two machine candidates win the labor movement and unionism will have been given a black eye. There are union men enough in this city to carry the primaries for Charters if they will only go to the polls and vote as their consciences dictate, and not as some ward heelers may wish. If Charters loses Waterbury he will probably lose the nomination also, so it can be seen how much is depending on the result of Mondays vote. The Democrat can only repeat what it said when Charters first announced himself a candidate If the union men of the county stick together there is no question as to the result. But if they allow the men with the wads to play fast and loose with them they might just as well give up now as any other time. The men of the la bor unions will be put to the test in this shrievalty campaign, and if they come out of it with flying eolors there is a future before the organization, but if they go the way others before them have gone, then they will court defeat and surely get it. The eyes of the state will be watching the result of this contest and it remains to be seen whether unionism is what it pre- tends to be. Charters has pinned his faith to the towns of Waterbury, Seymour, Derby, Ansonia, Guilford, Branford and East Haven. If he wins these towns with their thirty or more delegates, he will be able to con- trol the convention, and as the New Haven delegates are said to be par tially in his favor who knows but what he would get them, if not on the first ballot, on the second. Charters is not in the habit of going back on his words or his friends and those who have his interests in hand should not let the schemers pull the wool over their eyes.

-The general business situation con

ssThe general business situation con, tinues satisfactory" says Banker Henry Clews in his weekly letter. From the west glowing accounts are received of trade prospects, as result of the big corn crop. Tn the east ex- pectations are more moderate, and strikes have exercised 8 deterrent ef' feet. The south is promised slightly better trade than last year, where the shortage in cotton and corn did harm Railroad earnings and clearing house returns .both continue to demonstrate the eountry's great activities, and so far there are few signs, if any, of pro. duction having outrun consumption, such as are usually the first warnings of economic reaction. If prudence and moderation can only have their proper sway uninterrupted, there is no telling how long the present era of prosperity will continue. But both of these quaal- ities are eminently necessary in these times.''

THE BARN DIDN'T DODGE.
smart Young Man Proc phesied.

"The first job I got at my profes. sion after leaving the university sev- eral years ago. said a graduate of Ann Arbor, according to the Detroit Free Press, twas up in New Hamp- shire, and it was no job at all. Tn other words, I was fishing along creek when farmer warned me off and wasn't bit gentle about it either. He wanted stone for the foundation of a new barn and he was going to get it by blasting big rock on the steep hillside back of the spot. I took look at the route it would have to travel and made up my mind that his old barn would suffer. I decided to have my revenge on him by not saying a word, but by and by my con- science got the better of my pique,and I said to him:
 eff you set that rock rolling down hill you'd better figure on where it's going to bring up.'
 s' I have he replied.
 Do you want the old barn made kindling wood of?'
 No; of purse not
 Well, then, you'd better go slow
 Who are you2' asked the farmer, as he turned on me.
 A civil engineer, sir What's them?'
 "sFellows who can see an inch or two beyond their noses.
 'He asked no more questions, but got blast under the rock and let her go. She went. She took bee line for that barn and knocked the structure into the middle of the next week, and, as the pieces ceased to l rain down, the old farmer spat on his hand and held it out, to me and said:
 "'Durn my cats if you don't know as much as lightning rod manl Why didn't you tell me that the old barn l ranl1ldnst dodpe ?' ]"

6 POOR
.AlLgDMlE

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding It is also a safe and absolutely, sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

Income from Enaovments.

A common note in the financial re- ports of institutions of all kinds is the regret at the decline of income caused by the fall in the rates of in- terest. The basis is now three or 3h instead of six or seven dozen years ago. This means that endow- ments must be doubled in order to keep up the income returns. The lower rate also has far&reaching effect upon the chances open to the average man of retiring in his age with a competency. He has to save twice as much money to secure the income that he desires as in the early seventies. Watchman.

NJ. Rochefort of Paris, inventor of one of the wireless systems of tele- graphy now being subject to test by the United States government is in Washington for the purpose of lending assistance in the test of his apparatus. He was interviewed with difficulty be- cause of the fact that he speaks no English, and stated that already there were sixty stations using his system in Europe, twenty-five in the French navy, ten in the French army and sev- eral by the government in the Congo, etc. He claims that every part of the apparatus which comprises his system is an invention of his own. He hopes to demonstrate to the officials of the navy that by their use a great saving in electric energy can be ac- complished and that he can manufac- ture and supply the necessary appar- atus on more economical terms than his competitors. He expressed sur prise at the wide knowledge of wire less te1egraphy displayed by Lieuten- ant Hudgins, U s. A., whom he re gards as one of the ablest electricians he has ever met. NJ. Rochefort is also the inventor of treatment of tuberculosis by electricity which is being tested by ,Hutin and other French physicians and has already re ceiyed many commendations. He is the son of the famous communist of i that name.
