The Brooklyn Citizen prints an eXpe-
rience Of man who travelled all over
Europe and declares that he did not
meet but one person who hesitated
over the acceptance Of fee:
l was wandering through an old
graveyard in an English town and had
stopped before stone which had not
been long in place. A man who must
have been following me stepped up and
said:
'Ah, sir, but she who lies here will
be missed for years to come! She was
for half lifetime the president of the
charity board
In an absentminded way 1 handed
him Il sixpence, said the traveller. He
received it. turned it over in his hand
in hesitating way and finally stam-
mered
"As she was my own wife, sir, and
as was here to plant flowers on her
grave, perhaps it would not be exactly
proper to accept a fee."
replied that but fer him might
never have known about her being
president Of the board, and he swal-
lowed his scruples and pocketed the
sixpence with one motion and with evil
dent satisfaction.

CANCER CURED BY PLASTER
Application Proves Successful on
Man Eighty-sevcn Years Old.

Man Eighty-seven Years Old.
Edward Beebe. eighty seven years
old and a resident of Derby, Conn.,, for
nearly half century. has been cured
of cancer. The cancer first appeared
on his nose many years ago. A year
ago it began to increase in size and be-
came painful. His condition became SO
bad that physicians said his death
would ensue within a few weeks.
About a month ago, when Mr.. Beebe
was believed to be dying and after
many forms of treatment had been
tried unavailingly, the plaster applica-
ton was suggested and decided upon.
The plaster was applied to the nose.
Two weeks later the plaster came off
and the cancer with it, says the New
York Press. Mr.. Beebe is up and about
and says the pain has gone and he
feels as well as man of his age could.
The same treatment is being tried on
two other Derby persons afflicted with
cancer.

HANNA AND THE BEEF TRUST.

Senator Hanna of Ohio, the champion Of the mo.
nopoly combines, as whose representative he was
placed in public life, will probably for a little time
mark the Beef Trust off his list of generous con-
tributors to the Republican campaign slush fund
whom he once described as good trusts" benefcent
in their influence upon the public welfare.
This is not because Hanna in his soul condemns
the methods Of the Beef Trust. According to his
own creed. the first duty of a great monopoly acquir-
ing complete control of markets is to profit to the
fullest extent by its mastery of the situation. 1t is
for this purpose that trusts are organized. II Hanna
could have his way, they would be protected in the
full enjoyment of their respective monopolies. In
deed, the chief duty OF Hanna as the machine leader
Of the Republican party is to protect the trusts.
But the Beef Trust has aroused the American peo-
pie to so clear a realization of the memorable logic Of
the trust system that it is politically dangerous to
lend open assistance to that combine. Even Re
publican newspapers are being compelled to protest
against the rapacity of this trust. President Roose-
Welt, doubtless to Mark Hanna's vast chagrin, has
caused proceedings to be instituted against the Beef
Trust by the Attorney General. The people must be
made to believe that the Republican party is not
owned absolutely by the monopoly combines. Their
patience would not stand the strain of a confessed
Republican solicitude for the protection of the Beef
Trust in its monopoly.
Consequently. Senator Hanna will have to lie low
for q time and restrain his ardent inclination to use
the United States Government as an ally of the trusts
against the American people. In the end, perhaps,
he may be able to make sure that the Beef Trust does
not suffer. If he can do this, it may mean much for
the Republican campaign slush-fund this year and two
years hence. The real truth of the situation is that
relief from the trust evil can com only through re-
moving the Republican party, the instrument Of the
trusts, from control in national affairs. A Democratic
at the polls, placing this Government under
Democratic management, Will alone insure the vic
Of the people over the trusts.

As matters now stand, Desmond has placed him
self in the right light with the Mexican authorities
and is in no danger Of unfriendly treatment. He is
in the strict line Of his duty. The prospect now is
that Mexico will surrender Kratz in view of o~vertures

When this moment comes Desmond must be able
to place his hands on Kratz at once. The pleasant
