STORY OF A SONG.
Circumstances Under Which the
"fhree Fishers" Was Written.

Circumstances Under Which the
"rhree Fishers" Was Written.
Charles Kingsley wrote the Three
Fishers" as result of the many sac
sights he had seen at Clovellyy One
day of horror in particular lived IL
his memory, day as he described it
when the old bay lay darkened with
the gray columns of the water spouts
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale; and the tiny herring
boats fleeing from their nets right TO,
the breakers, hoping more mercy
even from those iron walls of rocp
than from the pitiless bowling waste
of spray behind them; and that merr!
beach beside the town covered witt
shrieking women and old men, casting
themselves on the pebbles, in fruit

corpse swept up at the feet of wife
and child, till in one case alone {

widows and orphans weeping ovei
those who had gone out the night be
fore in the fullness of strength ant
courage" These scenes lived ever
in his mind.
But the Three Fishers" was writ
ten as a result of one of the stranges'
incidents in the stormy career of the
preacher-author. In 1851 he preached
sermon in London church on 'Tht
Message of the Church to the Labor
ing Man" At its close the vicar rose
and denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield
forbade Kingsley to preach again il
his diocese, until, having read the
sermon and seen its author, he with
drew the edict. The same night upoI
which he delivered his discourse
Kingsley went to his home weary
There had nearly been a riot in thu
church. Sick at heart, he retired IL
his study. When he reappeared he
handed to his family his immorta
song; "as though it were the out

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Re
view of Trade" says: Business con-
tinues TO move in most conservative
channels, purchases being restricted
to immediate requirements and wealth
er conditions dominating the situa-
ton to an unusual extent. At many
points there has been little Spring
trade, and the transition from WIN
ter to Summer will be accomplished
with scarcely any intermediate season.
Considering this adverse factor. the
current volume of business rs remark
ably satisfactory. Building operations
are also deferred to late date. Much
structural work is projected, however.
and at some favored points last years
record promises to be surpassed. AS
a rule manufacturing plants are not
working at full capacity. idle machin-
cry being most extensive in textile IN
dustries. Floods and storms have IN
terrupted traffic, yet railway earnings
thus far reported for April are only
SIS per cent. smaller than last year.
Iron and steel conditions are still de-
void of any definite change. In sever
al departments the week has brought
slightly increased activity, notably in
merchant steel, pipe and structural
shapes, but in many branches there
is hesitation. Distribution at retail
is restricted by the weather, and there
are no compromising factors. In
mems wear, woolens and worstcd
goods it is estimated by some that
about 70 per cent of the mills are
now idle. Carpets are also dull and
some cancellations are reported.

diseases have no idea that their trouble is
due to catarrh. The majority of the peo-
pie think that catarrh is a disease con-
fined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh IS liable to at
tack any organ OF the body; throat, bron-
chial tubes, lungs, stomach, kidneys and
especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this discovery
after long siege of useless treatment.
She has made the discovery that her dis
ease is catarrh, and that Peruna can be re-
lied upon to cure catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,

OYSTERS.

From the New York World.
Interesting experiments made in the
Lancet laboratory show the great diges-
tibility of the oyster. When the oyster
was crushed and placed in cold water
about half of the solid matter was dis
solved. When the oyster was placed un-
crushed in the same medium one
fourth of it's solid matter was dissolved.
1t is believed that If the oyster be chewed
more than half of it Is dissolved in the
mouth.
Cold water appears to be the best thing
to drink with oysters. But chabls is very
good, dissolving IS per cent of the solid
matter of the oyster.

sugar. and when wanted for use is

which makes the oyster sweet in the

But there are other valuable constitu-

Local Sewer Systems.

The near completion of the trunk
sewers should remind the communi-
ties along them that they should iml-
tate without delay Ensley's example.
Local systems of drainage should be
put in at once, for not one of them
can be completed before the trunk
sewers are, and the health of the
valley demands that in this important
matter there should be no unnecessary
delay A suburb that has water
supply and drainage has great attrac-
lions for the investor or renter over
one that has neither.
1t should not be forgotten that the
sanitary commission is not. building
trunk sewers as a means of personal
amusement. They are building them
to drain and render wholesome and
healthful Jones' valley, and they are
empowered to put in local systems
and assess the cost on the respective
communities benefited. This power
4 will be exercised if there is neglect on
the part of suburban authorities.
The trunk sewers should be in full
operation before hot weather comes
again, but this may not be quite pos
sible, but towards that contamination
all should work-the local commune
ties as well as the sanitary commits
sion. The trunk sewers will prove the
greatest blessing ever brought to
Jones valley, but this will not be the
case unless every community along
them takes full advantage of their
capacity and usefulness. Any unnec-
essary delay may prove very damag-
ing, and in any case it will be detri-
mental alike to property and to the
public health of a large population,
for what Injuries one part of Jones
valley Injuries all other parts of 1t.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
A Political lmperiaIist.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Governor odell has furnished timely
and forceful illustration of what political
Imperialism will attempt when driven to
the wall In its effort to perpetuate itself
in power. As governor of the great state
of New York he has issued an order which
seeks to enable himself as chairman
of the republican party to carry the state
for his tool Higgins, and for his master,
Roosevelt When he commanded the ehal-
longing of 25o000 voters in the city of
New York Governor Odell gratuitously
insulted a quarter of million American
citizens. He advanced the presumption
that that many voters were black guards
until they proved themselves honest men.
The Albany Argus in a spirited protest
declares that 1t is wholesale effort to
brighten, intimidate, and bulldoze thous-
ands of legal voters so that they will not
attempt to register
That 1t is anything else no one doubts.
The idea of Governor Odell as a protector
of a pure ballot awakes the Argus to
bitterest denunciation and contempt
"Odelrs unsavory record" 1t declares las
a debaucher of elections in Orange coun-
ty is part of the official testimony be-
fore a senatorial committee on privileges
and elections" The party who would
thus seek to rob quarter of million peo-
pie Of their ballots, in the fullness of time
will inevitably seek to defraud the en-
tire nation of Its liberties.

At Fall River.

Over three months ago the spinners
of Fall River attempted to reduce
wages 12h per cent, and the opera
tives at once inaugurated strike.
The spinners were willing because
they had at the time no raw cotton
and they desired to utilize a strike in
forcing down the price OF the new
crop. But now they are stocked up;
their business is slipping away from
them, and they are now as anxious to
start their mills as three months ago
they were DESTROYS of stopping them
The situation, however, remains I'M
hanged. Out of 10000 strikers 10000
have, it is said, gone elsewhere, find
ing work, and none of these will re-
turn. The mills have lost operatives
as well as orders, and it is indeed
doubtful whether they can be brought
into full operation this year. Their
DS5I CQolOuiSlS diC Duyl hS CiSCnhCiNt
and their best operatives are full of
bitterness if they are still in Fall
River.
Both sides are anticipating offers
of settlement, although both are con-
fident of victory in the end. The OPP
eratives know that the mills are not
stocking up as mere diversion. They
know that the cotton which is going
into the mill warehouses is to be spun,
and they propose to spin at the old
rates. The mill managers think that
the soon coming OF New England
winter will compel the strikers to ac-
cept the wages offered. The contest
is, however, by no means fought out.

Southern Voters in November.

Chairman Mallory is right when he
says a full vote in every southern
state is much needed, especially in
view of the possibility of control of
the next house of representatives by
the republicans A republican house
is pledged by the Chicago platform to
cut down southern representation. The
plank in question is as follows:
We favor such congressional action as
shall determine whether by special dis
ordinations the elective franchise in any
state has been unconstitutionally limited,
and, If such Is the case, we demand that
representation In congress and in the
Electoral College shall be proportionately
reduced, as directed by the constitution
of the United States.
The Crumpackers in congress will
insist, If Mr.. Roosevelt be elected, that
the plank of their platform has been
endorsed by the party and by the peo-
pie, and that it must be enforced.
Beyond all reasonable doubt republi-
can success would be followed by a
wave of intense and bitter Crumpack-
erism.
The best antedote is a full vote in
the south in November. We have
come to regard the primary as the
real election, and the election as
formal ratification proceeding. This
is what gives Mr. Crumpacker so
many plausible figures and facts for a
raid upoa southern representation. He
compares states and congressional dis
tricts, and he Is especially proud Of
the fact that John Sharp Williams re-
ceived but 1888 votes in the five coun-
lies o his congressional district, and
sippi's entire vote in 1900 was but
SO, 513, and she elects eight congress-
men. Alabama's vote in 1902 was but
92,184, and it will be even less on No.
vember 8 unless the Importance of
full vote be appreciated Under the
constitution of 1901 Alabama can cast
100000 votes, and 1t should for pru-
dence's sake be done.
The conditions in the south are not
taken into consideration by the Crum-
packers In congress-the primary, the
absence Of party contests, the lack Of
interest in one-sided elections-and
they see only the returns, which are
surprisingly slender. To base repre-
sentation on votes cast under such cir.
cumstances would De grossly unjust,
but this will be attempted if the re-
pubicans gain control of the house
of the next congress.
