HIS START WAS HUMBLE.

Corning, Dec. s. Twenty two years ago J. E. Matthews came to Corning from Illinois with only few tools, to do carpenter work. Later he bought lot, where his three story brick hotel now stands, for $25, and had only $1O to pay cash on it. Today he is building railroad from Corning to Success, sixteen miles, with his own money and under his personal super vision. He will equip the road, put on the rolling stock and operate it himself. The line shortens travel, saves time and opens country rich in soil and abounding in timber.

latest usurper before they have learned
to love him.

many nice things a roomful of gold

better let the man have himi"

Killed by Arsenic.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. S.-A special
from Santiago, Tex, says:
1t is reported here that reliable in
formation has been received of the de-
struction of life at Mapiami, Mex, by
the breaking forth of Arsenic springs
in the mountains near the city. 1t is
reported that the waters of the arsenic
springs have united with those of the
springs which supply the city with
drinking water and the distributing
reservoir is said to be thoroughly i'm
pregnated with arsenic. AS a result
30 are said to be dead and over 400 are
seriously i'll. This is the first infOrma-
ton received of the matter and it was
some time before the source of the poi
son was obtained. The citizens are
now suffering for the want of water.

Some women tell me they pay more
for the trimmings of their dresses than
for the dresses themselves. Then when
we adopt a gown we will stick to that
style and will stop the foolish prac-
tice of throwing away good clothes be-
cause they happen to be little out Of
fashion.
I'm fact, we propose to make our
plain, simple gowns fashionable. We
are forming a league and will have
badges something similar to those worn
by the w. G. T. U. We will let people
know that we are not bound down by
the conventionalities that now Cypress
the human race. Membership in the
league will be free, although each
member will have to buy her own
badge.
when 1 first made my plans public
l told how to make a nice, pretty, serv-
iceable gown for $1.25. That was Of
dimity, and 1 find that it is possible to
make quite handsome dress for even
less. think that 1 will be able to get
up a gown that won't cost more than
80 cents, and certainly not more than
70 cents, and will be nice enough for
anyone to wear.
There would be many more happy
marriages If men weren't afraid they
couldn't afford the expense Of dress
ing their wives as extensively as they
are required to do nowadays. Recent
ly | have been interviewing a lot of
eligible young bachelors on the subject.
The men l talked to make good sal
aries, from SIS to $2S and even $50
a week, but even they don't feel able
to afford the expensive dresses that
they know their prospective brides
have been accustomed to-
MANY women, too, are in sympathy
with my plan, and l have received
many letters of encouragement. They
are coming to see the folly of spend
ing all the money they can rake and
scrape together for something that does
them no practical good In other words,
they are realizing the foolishness OF
trying to put up a $4,000 front on a
$1,000 income. I'm certain that if they
could once be rid of the worry to
which they subject themselves year in
and year out through this same folly
they would never return to it."

VCTORlA'S TACT.

Made King Edward KneeI at Ma,
poleon's Tomb.
A biography of Marshal Canrobert
has been published recently in Paris.
Not the least interesting part of the
work is that which refers to the ex-
traordinary popular demonstrations
that marked the state visit of the late
Queen Victoria to the French capital.
When the English sovereign, with her
consort and heir went to the Invalides
to look upon the tomb of Napoleon
the scene was one which seems to have
greatly impressed the Marshal, who
thus describes it:
Everybody was profoundly moved,
Not word was spoken. Each person
stood gazing at the coffin and was lost
In thought. Prince Albert was in front
Of me in the red uniform of a field
marshal; at his side stood the queen,
and standing beside her was the Prince
of Wales, dressed in his Highland
costume, with his velvet coat, his
purse Of fur, and the kilt; at the right
was Princess Mathilde, whose fea-
lures, so pure, standing out in the
light of torches, recalled too wildly
the features of her uncle After a
moments pause of reflection, of alb,
solute silence, the queen with an ex-
preston on her face of severity, calm
ness and meditation, turned to the
Prince Of Wales, and, placing her
hands on his shoulders. said: Go
down on your knees before the tomb
of the great Napoleon 1t was a fine
exhibition of keen political tact, as
well as of fine human feeling on the
part Of the queen"

Trade Report.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly
Review of Trade last week says:
Steady progress is reported in trade and
industry Distribution of merchandise is
heavy and a healthy tone is evident Do
nestle conditions continue much better
than those existing abroad, and home
trade received more attention than for
eign commerce. Farm products have APP
preciated in value on account Of less ia
vorable weather, and producers will be
fully compensated for any decrease In
quantity by the higher quotations. Earn
ings of railways during August were 3.s
per cent larger than year ago, and lS.o
per cent in excess of 1900.
Wheat is coming forward freely, though
receipts do not equal the abnormally
heavy movement a year ago. Corn devel-
oped strength because of fears that in
jury would be done by frost and the
movement is very slow compared with
last years figures.

Coal Mines start.

Wlkesbarre, Pa. Sept. Sat the close
Of the 18th week of the miners strike
both sides to the contest say they are
satisfied with the situation. The op-
orators state that the output Of coal last
week was greater than any other week
since the strike began. The strikers, on
the other hand, assert through their Of
ficers that the efforts Of the big COM
panies to resume operations have been
signal failure.
At the headquarters of the strikers 1t
was admitted that the mines are pro-
ducing a certain amount Of coal, but it
is so small as to be hardly worth mem
ton. President Mitchell is just as de-
termlned as ever, and said all talk Of the
miners going back to work was without
foundation.
A cavein covering 20 acres over the
Payne mine at Dorranceton took place
and caused great excitement. The cave'n
affects some valuable property in Wyom-
ing street, the foundations Of some of the
mansions in this thoroughfare having
been cracked badly. Large assures also
are to be seen in the roadway A further
cavein is expected, and a number of men
have been placed on guard to give the
alarm should the earth sink still further.
The cavein Is due, it IS said, to the fact
that water accumulated in the workings
while it was idle and rotted the timbers,
causing the roof in many places to fall in.
Pillars also have given way, and this
weakened the surface

Portland, Me. Sept. S.-The state cam
paign was ended here by the republicans
with a big rally. at which Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts was the
principal speaker.
He discus ed the trusts in a technical
way, and said to 80 per cent of them
there was not the least objection. To
undert AXE to destroy them by rash legis-
latiOn. he said, would bring the most
disastrous business panic that could be
imagined. He said that undoubtedly the
great combinations present certain dan
gers and certain evils, and that at pres
ent the difficulty was in distinguishing
among the corporations. Relief by legi;-
lation would be destructive to prosperity,
he said. Another solution proposed IS that
of sweeping away the tariff duties on
articles that a trust makes. Senator
Lodge said he would like to see the meat
trust punished in that way. The steel
trust, he said, is organized to compete
in every market of the world, while
many other companies, having been built
up under protective tariff, would be dealt
a severe blow should the tariff be re-
moved. "You may reduce the profits OF
the steel trust, but you leave it master of
the field If you took off the duty on
woolens, the wooden trust would prob
ably close every one of its mills in the
country
Senator Lodge thought that the method
of regulating trusts by putting them into
the control of the public through the gov
eminent is the silliest remedy ever sug-
gested He thought the first remedy is
supervision and publicity. and the latter
is the first thing to secure. In this con-
nection Senator Lodge referred to suits
against the railroad merger and the in
junction against the beef trust
In conclusion he said that this country
wants to retain prosperity and the same
time meet the question of trusts. He
said that some means must be found to
bring them within the law, not ruin them,
but to regulate them; to make their doings
public, to remove the mystery and the
discomfort.
