1t has remained for the little old
schooner Ada Herbert, Capt. Hi Fogg,
of Bucksport, Me-, to be cast away on

happened to the Ada Herbert this get

came about makes some of the Bucks
porters grin, although to Capt. Hi Fogg
1t is no joke at all. The Ada Herbert
was good enough to make a living in,
and earned as much money as though

a coat OF pea-green paint, with a red

there is no distinct line of separation
between state, county and municipal
charities. The nearest approach to a
line of separation between county and
municipality on the one hand, and the
state on the other, is in the public cor

fornly observed.
The rapid growth of American cities
and great changes in social conditions
relative thereto has given rise to the
present demand for municipal lodging
houses, separate and apart from jails
and police stations, while the new

cover the necessity of fostering public
sentiment favorable to a better admin

three boards of control have not dis
played any great interest or zeal in
improving conditions.
Your committee believes that at this

The surveyors who came with

Gettysburg to the river, in this
vicinity, and also brought a
boat over with them, with
which they took ''soundings",
occupying only about three days
time altogether. There seems to
be something new in the air, but
we have not been able to ascertain
exactly what it is.

Evarts in Mournins

The Evarts journal managed to
stray into our sanctum today for
the first time in about six weeks.
And we sincerely sympathize with
its editor over the troubles (Which
would be called "backset' in
some places his town is having.
About the first item in it's columns
that caught our gaze commenced
as follows:
''The sad news reached Evarts
the latter part of last week that
the Milwaukee Railroad Company
would discontinue the daily pas
senger train from Aberdeen to
Evarts."
We leave our readers to imagine
the wailing ard bowling that fol
lowed.
Elsewhere the Journal tries to
console itself as follows:
"That we are greatly in need of
a daily mail SERVICE"
THAT our coal dealer is shy ON
soft coal and that we have been
obliged to borrow coal without n
lantern
''That our straw hat is about
worn out, and if one of our delin-
quent subscribers would loan us n
hat or 1.-THE price" we would be
happy, we have a coat"

five days work in the week would
furnish humanity with an abund.

workman would study the subject

be able to lcgislate on it. instead of
leaving it to professionals who al
