Socrates called beauty a short-lived
tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature,
Theocritus a delightful prejudice,
T~heophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades
a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious
gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters of recon-
m%endation in the world, and yet hone
of these distinguished authorities has
left us even q hint of how beauty is to
be perpetuated, or the ravages of age
and disease defied. Time soon blends
the lily and the rose into the pallor of
age, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous designations and crimsons
the Roman nose with unsightly iushes,
moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory
of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by
defacing the complexion, and fills the
sensitive soul with agony ~unspeakable.
If such be the unhappy condition of
m afflicted with slight skin blemishes,
what must be the feelings of those in
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
become a part of the system until
death? 1t is vain to attempt to por-

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
The New Line of Demarkation. Can
adam Commissioners Offended.

London, Oct. 20. THE Off cial de-
cision of the Alaskan boundary COM
mission was announced this afternoon
According to it Canada gets the Port
land canal, and the islands of Wales
and Pearce. America secures the re-
mainder of the disputed territory.
Washington Oct. 20.-The state de-
partment this morning received official
advices from London confirming the
press dispatches to the effect that the
award of the Alaskan boundary COM
mission had been signed.
London, Oct. 20.--A draft of the de-
cision reached by the Alaska bound
airy commissioners was signed by a
majority of the commissioners last
evening Messrs. Aylesworth and
Jette, the Canadian commissioners,
refused to sign.
The signatories were Lord Chief
Justice Alverstone, Senator Lodge,
Senator Turner and Secretary Root,
the American commissioners. They
constituted majority and ensured
finality. Messrs Aylesworth and
Jette carried their outspoken disap-
prevail of the decision to the point of
refusing to sign even that section of
the decision giving the Portland canal
to Canada and they emphasized their
attitude by walking out of the cabinet
room in the foreign office before the
signatures of the others had been
affixed to the historic document.
The new line of demarkation as de-
cided upon by the majority of the
tribunal is as follows: They have
selected the line of peaks starting at
the head of the Portland canal and
running along the high mountains on
the outer edge of the mountains
shown on maps of the survey made in
1898; from these mountains the line
extends to Mt. Whipple, thence along
what is known as Hunters line of
1876, crossing Strikine river about
twenty five miles from Its mouth,
thence northerly along the high peaks
to Katis Needle and from Katis Needle
to DEVILS Thumb. The tribunal
stated that there was not sufficient
evidence to identify the mountains
which correspond to those intended
by the treaty. This statement con-
templates further survey of that
portion by the two governments
Such survey would not interfere in
the least with the award.
The line of demarkation gives the
United States complete land barrier
between Canada and the sea from
Mount st. Elias to the head of Port
land canal. The United States also
gets the islands of Sitklan and Kan
naghunat which command the en-
trance to Portland canal and the ocean

PATERSON'S TROUBLES.

Few cities in the space of CEN
fury of time have experienced so much
Of disaster by fire, flood and tornado
as has fallen to the lot of Paterson,
N. j., within the past two years, and
still the citizens are nothing daunted
but as fast as the disasters come they
set about to rise above them with
determination that is born of expe-
rience The recent floods which
damaged the city to the extent of
50, 500, 600 recall the calamities that
have occurred during the period of
twenty months.
On February g. 1902, practically the
entire business portion Of the city was
destroyed by nre; loss, So, 900, 900. On
the last day of the same month the
Passaic river jumped it's banks, flood
ing the city, causing considerable
loss of life, throwing 10, 900 per-
sons out of employment and damaging
property to the extent Of SO, 600, 600.
Then came the great strike led by
anarchists, in June of the same year.
In the riots which accompanied it
seven men were shot and property
loss incurred which has never been
accurately estimated, Then quiet
reigned until July 20 of the present
year when tornado swept over the
city, causing property loss of 81, 000,-
600 and the loss of three lives. Then
there was hardly breathing spell IN
til the floods which have just passed
into history.
In the face of all this trouble it re-
quired courage for city to say we
need no outside add, but that is the
brief statement issued by Mayor Hinch-
life on the morning following the
latest disaster. With losses aggregating
about $l2, 900, 0j0 in two years time
this New Jersey city takes up its bur-
den cheerfully and displays a quality
of grit that excites admiration every
where.
1t has been currently reported that
the anarchist fraternity has moved
its headquarters from Paterson to
Barre, and considering the former
city's record the change is not to be
wondere ed at.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 10. Officials
of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany, part of the United States Steel
Corporation, have plans drawn for the
construction of a canal between this
city and Providence. The estimated
cost is $40, 600, 900, and it will re a
difficult engineering feat. For the
new water route greater part of the
fifty miles, the old Blackstone Valley
canal, will be dredged and utilized.
1t was sixty years ago that the canal
was abandoned, and a railroad built
to take its place.
The plans also call for the construc-
ton of gigantic watershed just out
side the city to supply water for the
canal, thus making the use of locks
unnecessary. Several big mills in the
various towns will lose their power
under the new plan and several mil
lion dollars will be used to pay land
damages. The officials of the steel
trust will visit Worcester tomorrow,
when the plan will be considered in
detail. If the canal plans are carried
out, the big Worcester plant will be
greatly enlarged, otherwise there will
be an extensive curtailment.
Austin, Texas, Oct. 19.-It is
learned that suits are to be instituted
on behalf of the State of Texas against
the Texas Cotton Products Company
and about twenty cotton oil mills SIT
uated in Texas for heavy penalties
for alleged violation of the antitrust
law. The suits will seek to forfeit
the permit to do business in Texas of
the Texas Cotton Products Company
and to forfeit the respective charters
of the several companies operating the
oil mills in question.
The Texas Cotton Products Com.
pany is a branch of the American
Cotton Products Company of New
York. 1t was granted permit to
do business in Texas more than a year
ago. 1t is stated that the company
has acquired large number Of cot
ton-oil mills in this State, although
the acquired mills continue to be op-
Grated under their separate charters.
