Of Coming Campaign Will Not
Alter His Decision Although He
Will Work for Parker.

ments' on the eve of his birthday ami

born August 29s4S43.
Makes Partial Explanation.
In partial explanation he said that
he had intended to take such action a
year ago, but was persuaded by some
close personal friends to defer doing so
until after the presidential election this
year. Having been engaged in active
politics since his youth and having
served as city attorney, alderman and
mayor of Elmira. member of the legis-
lature, lieutenant governor, governor
for seven years and United States sena-
tor for six years: he feels that he has
been sufficiently honored by his party,
and that he has rendered political serv-
Ice during period of years sufficient to
entitle him to be relieved of further &C
tive political effort. He desires to de-
vote more time to his personal affairs
and professional duties than he has in
the past.
Mr. Hill will continue his work in the
present campaign, and to his friends
said that he would always maintain his
interest in democratic success, but only
as private citizen.

Japanese merchants are extending
their efforts in the manufacture and

this may be done somewhat in the
spirit Of rivalry, but it must be con-
ceded that without the aid of resident

Japanese teas would never have been
introduced abroad to any considerable

may be said in the case of mattings

a head-on collision on the Grand Trunk
railway near Richmond, Que, Wednes-
day. Trains involved were special ex-
cursion from Montreal bound for Sher-

the first section of the regular Grand
Trunk Portland express, which usually
crosses the Island Pond train at Rich

barely cleared the Richmond yard when
rounding a curve, it met the Island Pond
train running at a high rate of speed

firemen, jumped and escaped with minor
injuries. The shock of the collision
was plainly heard in Richmond, more
than mile away.
