oSamn Parks Convicted.

"Sam" Parks was convicted last !
week in New York of extorting $500 |
from the Tiffany Studio Company.
Fifteen minutes after the jury had
retired they returned to the court
room and, through their foreman,
announced their verdict. "My God!"
cried Parks, when he heard his doom
pronounced. All his former bravado
had left him. He was hanging over
the railing, his head bowed with
shame and grief. He was the very
picture of despair. When the Jurors
fled out of court and Parks was led
back toward the rear of the court
room there was a wild rush in the
outer hall. PARKS pals wanted to
get into the courtroom. He saw
them at the door. He halted as he
reached the gate that leads to the
prisoners pen. 81 want to see the
gang. I want to shake hands with
the gang" insisted Parks. But
Capt. Wheelock, of the court squad,
and the other officers pushed Parks
along and moment later the door
had closed behind him. Only one
ballot was taken in the jury room.
Parks fate was sealed then. Some
of the jurors said they did not think
they should have left their seats in
the jury-box. They said they were
in favor of announcing the verdict of
guilty without leaving their seats.

The Lyndonuille Journal announces
that after Jan. 1st the price of the
Journal will be $3.50 year instead of
81 20 as heretofore. This is a most
commendable action on the part of
the Journal. No local paper like the
Journal can be published for less than
$3.50 year and when sold for less the
publisher must either do the work
for fun or cheaper paper must be
made. We believe that large ma
jority of the people prefer a good
paper at a fair price to cheap one at
any price. The Journal is certainly
worth 81 so per year and its patrons
should make no objections to paying
that price.

w. Bailey of Newbury, who has been
appointed United States marshal.
Mr.. Howard has served for some time
as the Orleans county member of the
republican state com mittee, which
position he has filled in a most salts
factory manner. He is an indefatigable
worker, a man who gives careful at
tention to every duty and will prove
a valuable acquisition to the COM

Gigantic Fraud.
Sensational allegations of willful
misstatements, Justification, swindlipg
and fraud in the organization and
flotation OF the United States Ship
building Company, of attempts to
mislead and deceive the investing
public by erroneous prospectus
statements and of a deliberate plan
to wreck the company by withhold
ing the earnings of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, as contained in the
report of Receiver James Smith, Jr.,
of the Shipbuilding Company, we're
made public last week. The report
concl udes with the recommendation
that suit be brought against all per-
sons who received stocks of the COM
pany without paying full value
therefor, including the promoters of
the consolidation, the vendors of the
constituent plants and Charles M.
| Schwab, to recover from them such
amount as necessary to pay the debts
of the concern in full. In the words
of the report, the organization of the
company is characterized as an
"artistic swindle," Receiver Smith
stating that the value of their plants,
their earnings and working capital,
given in alleged thorough reports of
expert accountants, vary so much
from actual figures Gas to imply the
belief that the figures were willfully
misstated."
George b. Mcclellan Mayor of New York
After a remarkable campaign in
which there were united against him
nearly all Of the newspapers and
practically every minister of religion
in the city, George B. Mcclellan, sor
of the civil war general, was on Tues
day elected third mayor of the city Of
Greater New York over Seth Low
fusionist, the present mayor, by the
plurality of ,614. Edward M. Grout
was elected controller and Charles V
Fornes president of the board O
aldermen. These two men were
} originally on the fusion ticket, an(
were indorsed by Tammany, where
upon the fusionists took their name
from the Low ballots and nominated
other candidates. 1t was the nomi
nation of Grout and Fornes by Tam
7 many that caused Hugh Mclaughlin
the veteran leader of the King
county democracy, to bolt and de
clare that he would not support me-
who were not democrats. In spite o
F., his detection, however, Mcclellan
2. Grout and Fornes carried King
county. A surprise was the littl

England's Weak SPOT.

Parliament has been aroused to the
duty of appointing a committee to
examine the fact of the frightful
growth of imbecility and insanity in
the great cities of Great Britain.
Along with this is growing a
physical deterioration that threatens
dire results if it is not checked. If
the country depended upon her great
cities the prospect would be dismal
indeed and the empire would soon be
on the road which mas carried others
to swift destruction.
But it happens that England is one
of the most robust countries in the
world. Over 40 per cent. of her
women work at farm labor. 1t is the
country districts that form the pillars
of the empire. Left to her great
cities her fate would ere long be
sealed.
If we ask why this is, Lady Henry
Somerset in the North american Re-
vie,U will explain it. 1t is that in the
English cities there are "more
drunken women than in any other
nation in the world" "Between the
hours of one and three O'clock" she
says, sin single district of London
have seen from 100 to 200 women with
babes in their arms crowding into the
public places for drinks and as many
more children crowding in with jugs
and other vessels. The children
acquire the thirst for stimulants il
their very infancy"
Lady Somerset's article tells the
story. We endeavor to protect the
mothers in the United States, and i
we do not protect the mothers, wha
should we expect of the babes in thei
arms?n Globe.

A delicious sandwich is made with
chicken and nuts. Chop the white
meat of cold chicken fine and moisten
it slightly with the, gravy. Have ready
thin slices of crustless bread and spread
half of them with the mixture. Butter
the other half, and into each press half
almonds that have been blanched. Put
slices of chicken and almonds together.
Another sandwich filling is made Of
cheese. Put half tablespoonful of but
ter into a small saucepan and let it
thoroughly oil the bottom. Have at
hand quarter of pound of rich Ameri-
can cheese cut fine. Turn it into the
pan and add dash of paprika or two or
three drops of tabasco sauce. Stir until
it is melted. Then beat in slowly a
well beaten yolk of an egg mixed with
four tablespoonful of cream. When it
is cold, spread on thin slices of bread.
Bananas are good enough in their
ordinary simplicity, but some persons
there are who like bananas made into a
scallop in this way: Cut half dozen
bananas into half-inch slices. Cut some
bread into small pieces and place layer
of these in the bottom of pudding dish.
Add layer of bananas, two tablespoon
fuls of sugar and one tablespoonful of
lemon juice. Repeat these layers until
all have b. en- used, having bread as the
topmost. Put over the top tablespoon
full of melted butter and sprinkle lightly
with sugar. Bake half an hour in a
quick oven.-New York Sun.

Mending.

Every woman in the common walks OF
life is supposed to know how to mend,
but Judging from the looks of some of
the work done in that line, there must
have been a sad lack of training in some
homes.
Why not teach the daughters to mend
neatly as we'll as to do fancy work? 1t
requires equally as much skill and is
much more useful, so why not number
it among the accomplishments to be dc
sired for our daughters?
A tear in a dainty lawn or percale
dress need not ruin it if its wearer knows
how to mend it. A piece of the goods
somewhat larger than the rent is placed
on the wrong side of the cloth in such
way that each figure and stripe will be
exactly matched. Pin the piece in place
and turn right side up. Cut the whole
out square by the thread, then cut
diagonal cut about one-fourth inch deep
at each corner and turn under the edge
so that the ends of the diagonal cuts are
exactly at the corners of the opening.
Be careful that the figures are exactly
matched, changing the pins if necessary,
and then hem the edges down neatly
with fine thread and tiny stitches. Turn
to the wrong side and cut the edges OF
the patch about one inch larger than the
hole. Sew the edges down with very
small cat stitches, which is three small
running stitches diagonally from one
corner of the patch, then beginning again
at the edge just outside of the point
where the three stitches ended make
three stitches in the same way, making n
zigzag seam which will not show on the
right side and will not pull and break as
straight seam might. Lay a damp
cloth over the patch and iron over it to
dampen the goods, then remove the
cloth and iron dry. Such patch can
Only be detected by close scrutiny.
1t is best to put patches on before
washing garments when possible, as they
show less when thus treated.
There is no necessity for wearing
faded and old looking waists and skirts
if they should be washed and dried
They should be washed quickly in pear
line suds, rinsed we'll, and dried in the
shade. A patch does not make a gar
ment look old, but poor washing always
does.
In patching mems garments the same
rules should be observed and they may
be summed up as follows: Square
patches, even threads to match where
there are no figures, fine hemming on
front and cat stitching on back of cloth.
Always press the finished patch if the
garment is not to be washed. Mend the
knees of mems pants by setting in a
piece from seam to seam and as long as
needed to replace the worn part. This
does not look patched. Exchange.

FOUGHT AT SIX PAGES.
smnguinary Duel That Took Place
In London In 1903.

sunruinary Duel That Took Place
In London In 1903.
Duellng in England in 1903 was often
q very sanguinary business.
On a Friday morning in March OF
that year a most extraordinary duel
took place in Hyde park, London, be-
tween Lieutenant w. Of the navy and
Captain ]. of the army. The antag-
onists arrived at the appointed place
within few minutes Of each other.
Some dispute arose respecting the dis
lance, which the friends Of Lieutenant
w. insisted should not exceed six PAGES,
while the seconds Of Captain j. urged
strongly the rashness Of so decisive q
distance and insisted on its being ex-
tended.
At length the proposal Of Lieutenant
WIS friends was agreed to, and the
parties fired per signal, when Lieuten-
ant w. received the shot Of his adver-
sary on the guard Of his pistol, which
tore away the third and fourth fingers
of his right hand. The seconds then
interfered to no purpose. The son OF
Neptune, apparently callous to pain,
wrapped his handkerchief round his
hand and swore he had another which
never failed him.
Captain ]. called his second aside
and told him it was in vain to urge
reconciliation.
They again took their ground.
On Lieutenant w. receiving the pis.
tol in his left hand he looked stead
tasty at Captain ]. for some time, then
cast his eyes to heaven and said In a
low voice, Forgive me!'
The parties fired as before, and both
fell. Captain ]. received the shot
through the head and instantly ex-
pired. Lieutenant w. received the
ball in his left breast and Immediately
inquired of his friend II Captain US
wound was mortal. Being answered
in the affirmative, he thanked heaven
he had lived thus long, requested
mourning ring on his finger might be
given TO his sister and that she might
be assured it was the happiest moment
he ever knew. He had scarcely fin
ished the words when quantity OF
blood burst from his wound, and he ex-
pired almost without struggle.-Glas-
cow Herald.

GOOD THINGS TO LEARN.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet
ter than medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your>own

Learn how to tell story. A we'll
told story Is as welcome as sunbeam
In a sick room.
Learn to stop croaking. If you can
not see any good in this world keep
the bad to yourself.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to care
for your Ills and sorrows.
Learn to greet your friends with n
smile. They carry too many frowns in
their own hearts to be bothered with
any of yours.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache. head
