Americas greatest magnates. That

IN THIRSTY MAINE.

Bangor, Me, July 1.-Within few
 days Maine is likely to be in fact what
 it is supposed to be-a prohibition state.
 Never until now has constitutional pro- hibition prohibited the sale of liquor
 anywhere in Maine if saloonkeeper
 was willing to submit to arrest and fine
 about twice year. Even in the city
 of Portland the late Sheriff Pearson was unable to stop the sale, though he had
 an immense force of deputies and the
 courts on his side.
 Now, however, the judges of the Su- preme Court have given notice that the possession of a United States internal revenue liquor stamp will subject the
 possessor to jail sentence instead of the usual fine, and all over the state
 hotels and restaurants last night closed their bars, wholesalers went out of busi-
 ness and withing a week every retailer will have quit selling. Some think the judges intend to make prohibition so obnoxious the people will repeal it.-Chicago Record Herald,

HARDK.

Our country's system of retiring high army officers at the age of sixty-four seems little absurd in view of General Miles dash of ninety miles on horse back in full campaign uniform under a blazing sun, followed by horseback re- view o. cavalry at Fort Sill, daring Jump acsoss ravine and four mile canter to catch train. Such a ride in grim-visaged war to save an army corps from rout or defeat would justly be theme for poesy and song. It show ed General Miles to be a man in the pink of condition even at sixty-four, and in no wise an invalid or subject for retirement from active campaign duty. At that age a commander of armies is in the period of his greatest wisdom and usefulness and strategist has usually only just sgot there" As the New York World remarks: sMoltke planned the fall of Louis Napoleon at - -f8

 The list Of mighty men of mighty deeds done at three score and ten might be extended indefinitely. The retire. ment limit from the army might be placed at seventy, where the command CT is in full health and vigor. And the feat of General Miles further Illustrates the soundness of the doctrine that a proper amount of vigorous exercise is one essential to the preservation of health.

STUDENTS As HARvEsTERs

E4 F Kansas City, Mo, July 2.-When the doors of the state free labor bureau office were opened for business to-day the van of the crowd of applicants was
 made up of a party of collage athletes.
 They came with rush in mass lorna. tion. and tackled the man who gives the application blanks.
 There were twelve men in the party.
 They were all Bostonians, students at Harvard, and sons of wealthy men,
 They were travelling incognito, and
 wore rough clothes and battered hats.
 They had bummed their way to Kansas City with plenty of money iii their
 pockets. They spoke freely of every-
 thing except their identities. On this subject they kept mum.
 We harvest wheat, drive wagons, carry water. eat bacon and corn bread with the rest of them. We beat our way here on freights, leaving Boston early last week. We have had a pretty good trip. We got put off the trains
 once or twice, but usually the brakes permitted us to ride on condition that we help load coal into the box. This was easy. .a1 \ Your see, We have never been out west before and when we Saw that

RIG TIT.

Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court has clarified the situa- ton regarding the crime of Iynehing by his reminder that lynching is murder. nothing more or less. This utterance is timely and wise and strikes the key note which will decidedly help to guide public opinion alright on the subject. The increasing frequency of lynching and the resultant crimes of disorder point to the fact that at least some forms of evil doing are contagious. Jus tice Brewer sizes up the situation in plain words. Every member of a crowd of lynchers is murderer. Mobs are responsible for crimes they com- init. Every mob is composed of indi- viduais. Each individual of the mob is responsible for violations of the law committed. Judge Brewer says:
 1T know that the sentiment varies re- garding this subject in different parts of the country. In the south, the lynch ing of a negro who has committed an assault on white girl is considered proper and just, just as is the sum- mary shooting of man who calls you liar to your face. In neither case do consider the circumstances extenuat- ing in the least. The crime can be eall- ed nothing else than murder"
 A timely utterance like this coming from a Justice of the United States Supreme Court has great weight and the more because of the wide publicity given it by the press of the country. Justice Brewers plain definition of the crime will excite some surprise and re- bellious comment in many quarters in the country where Iynchlng is practi- eally looked upon as good form" es- pecially if the victim be a negro. Jus tice Brewer is right again when he says that there will be an uprising of popular feeling against lynchings that will result in legislation or a remedy in some other form, 'tNo circumstance, :" moreover says Justice Brewer, can change the classification of the crime to anything else but murder. Any man who kills his fellow man otherwise than in defense of himself or his prop erty commits nothing less than mur- der. The man who takes part in the lynching of a negro, no matter how atrocious was the latter's conduct, is guilty of this crime.'
 The laws delays may be urged in justification of murder by lynching but how about the innocent men who have been lynched? A perverted local senti- ment may make 1t impossible as things are to-day to secure the conviction of member of mob of lynchers but even so such a perverted public senti- ment is a survival of barbarism. The utterances of Justice Brewer can but have a most wholesome effect towards awakening the American people to the hideousness of the sway of niobs that commit murder. .'% x. tt.

oLD HOME WEEK.

The Statist waxes eloquent over Old Home Week in New England, concern ing which it remarks after enumerat- ing the dates of these various festivals in the various States in the order of their occurrence:
 .The old Home Week celebrations comprise almost every town and city of consequence in these States, and the wanderer who has not set foot upon the commonwealth soil for a number of years will renew again fond remem- brances; he will visit again the old farm and village, the well-known scenes of Revolutionary conflicts and the fla niliar streets of busy Boston.
 New Hampshire will welcome to her sylvan hills her faithful children who
 have drifted away. The White Noun
 tains, the beautiful Lake Winnipesau- kee, the silent and serene Sunapee, will all tend to bring back again youthful days midst the beauties of the old Granite State. The hot summer season is sufficient to awaken the thoughts of the doughty son of Maine who antici- pates a visit to his native roof. He re- calls the cooling breezes of the fragrant
 pine forests, the beautiful beaches and pleasant harbors, and he becomes con yinced that a trip Old Home Week is
 necessary. Vermont, with her verdant hills. her delightful old farmhouses and such magnificent lakes as Champlain and Memphremagog, rises up again in the vision of the native-bor Vermont 1 CT. He compares in his mind boyhood pleasures of a score or more years back, and the delights among the fields and forests of this beautiful State. A
 Connecticut, with her beautiful towns and villages and her very pretty
 cities, has attractions sufficient, besides
 her fragrant peach orchards and wood- en nutmegs, to win back the stray ones.
 Rhode Island, small in size, but rich in resorts. has the gala Newport and fla
 nous Narragansett pier to set some
 folks thinking, and many an absentee will return to see again his old home on the Sound or some pretty farmhouse
 in valley town with an Indian name" All of which is very pretty and poetic, and also true. Norwich, "The Rose of \ New England," has just had its third
 annual Old Home Week celebration, and
 the Bulletin, after speaking of the ad-
 vantage of having fixed time for the
 festival each year. reviews with satis-
 faction the events of the celebration and counsels making Old Home Week there hereafter a grand civic festival.
