Standard Oil.


In the December Mcclure Miss Tar
bell takes up again her History of the
Standard Oil Company. In her tran
quill, passionless way, so tranquil, in
deed, that, in contrast with the stup-
endousness of its revelations it takes at
times the air of cold irony, she con-
tinues to make revelation after revela-
ton, backed by unimpeacheable docu-
mentation; and day after day her pict-
ure of that dread, weird, omniscent
Power, the Standard Oil Company, be-
comes more vivid and more awful.
Miss TarbelPs work is beginning to as
sumo proportions almost epic.

Those interested in American 'tsoci-
ETY." often express an opinion that the
so-called "smart set" is a newspaper
made plutocracy and that America is
unique in this respect. To read Lady
Henry Somerset's article "British
Social Life" in the December Cosmo-
politan, corrects this view. Lady
Somerset is an important member of
the old aristocracy, and her article on
the new fashionable London of to-day
is at once an interesting commentary
on the tendency ofthe times and a pro.
test against some of its more harmful
features.

ham Lincoln" are continued. The fict-
ion includes ''The FARM of the Dag
ger" "The Trilemma of Albertine.n
''The Curtain Party" "The Christmas

ment and Suggestions for Home

And now Bradford joker has come
to the front with story, says the
Smethport Democrat, which is going
the rounds of the press to the effect
that Grover Cleveland is the exclusive
bondholder of the Bradford Bordell
& Kinzua railway, the narrow gauge
system extending from Smethport to
Bradford, and that it is he who is
about to forclose mortgage upon
that road. While it is doubtless true
that Grover has in years gone by re-
ceived big dividends on his investments
in the B. B. & K, stock, it is quite i'm.
probable that he is the exclusive bond.
holder in that road. But the story is
an interesting one, nevertheless.

DEATHS DOINGS.
RUSSELL,

some illness of MRS. RHoDA E. Rus
SELL, Sunday morning, Nov. Goth.
For possibly two years her health has
steadily declined and while at no time
permanently confined to her bed, act.
i've participation in household duties
was denied her and the faithful and
loving ministry of her children sought
to smoothe and soften her onward way.
She was a person of many good quail
ties of mind and heart and by the circle
of her intimates was held in highest es-
TEEN. Her devotion to her children
was tender and beautiful and their
sense of loss is very keenIy felt.
Mrs. Russell was born at Mehoopany,
wyoming county, Pa, seventy years
ago. For thirty-five years she has re-
sided in Emporium. For fifty years
she has been a member of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church to whose war;
ious interests she was closely attached.
Surviving her are four children, Miss
Hattie, teacher at Mt. Jewett; Mrs.
w. III. Freeman, of Bound Brook. N.
j.; Mrs. E. I. Smith, of Warren, Pa;
Mrs. g. E. Cobb, of fisherman, NY.
Funeral services were held at her
late home yesterday at o'clock p, M,
her pastor, the Rev. o. s. Metzler off,
ciating and feelingly referring to the
fortitude with which she bore her af-
Fiction and other preparedness for the
solmn event of death.

Paris GREEN AND CABBAGE


Subscriber" Homer, Gal have 900
very fine cabbages In my garden. About
ten days ago ! put poison on them.
used wheat flour with about per cent
Of paris green, and sifted it on with an
old pepper box. Some Of the heads would
have weighed about , or 8 pounds at the
time. but most of them had not begun to
bead. OF course. ! put the poison on the
head or in the bud, as that was the
only place where the larvae were. The
leaves were killed in some places where
the poison touched them. On the heads
these spots were sometimes two or three
leaves deep. The poison can yet be seen
In places on the leaves. ! bought 10
cents worth of the poison and used, |
suppose about half of it. ] was not
afraid to treat them in this way because
l knew the head was formed by growing
out from the center. We cooked the first
one today 1t would have weighed about
> pounds after all the outside had been
thrown away. We ate it for dinner and
10 one has felt the slightest symptom
Of poison. 7 was with some friends this
afternoon who said they would never eat
any of the cabba ges. as to do SO would
be to commit suicide. They said that
deaths from paris green on vegetables
We're Of almost daily occurrence. One
said he used "slugshot," which could be
eaten In large quantities with a spoon
