GOALS TO NEWCASTLE"

Minneapolis Times.-It seems like
carrying Goals to Newcastle" to be
carrying Goldfish to Boston. Time was
when the world took it for granted
that the Goldfish always went to Boston
after death, and that 1t became part
of the religion of that branch of the
finny tribe to expect to go to Boston
as a reward for good behavior in the
waters of the earth. We have heard
of the sacred Goldfish on the Flagstaff
Of the Massachusetts, statehouse and
the man who invented Goldfish balls is
immortalized, we are told, by a statue
in the Public Gardens Of the city he
loved so well.
Goldfish aristocracy" is the term that
originated in Boston and possibly be-
cause that sort of gentility was and is
attains it's highest excellence there
and so does Goldfish with cream; not
to mention that dainty morsel, cod
fish toasted on the Goals.
Boston attained it's pre-eminence as
a Goldfish metropolis because it was
not far from the favorite pastures of
the fish. Now, alas, the supply seems
to be getting. little short in the
North Atlantic, and sad to relate,
Boston is obliged to send to the Paci-
fic for it's favorite fish.
Off the distant coast of Alaska they
are catching Boston's favorite break
fast food now, and sending it across
the country as fast as trains can car
ry it.
From the fishing grounds to Puget
sound is 1000 miles and from Seattle
to Boston some 5000 miles more
Think Of shipping Goldfish more than
1000 miles and three-fourths If the
distance by rail, to supply market
situated on the borders of an ocean
once famous for the same variety Of
fish! How does it happen that the
vast cod fisheries of the Atlantic are
unable to compete with those Of the
North Pacific when there is long rail
trip as a handicap?

THE WAR ON DIVORCE.

some unaccountable reason the d.
vorce evil is now causing more dis
cussion in private and in public, than
any other subject except politics.
Probably it is because of the large
number Of divorces as compared with
the number of marriages that have
been reported from different places
in America during the past year or
more. Ottumwa, by the way, made a
record of which she can hardly be
proud. Many have been the sugges-
tons to do away with the evil of d.
vorce and several preachers have re-
fused to marry divorced people. In

without any military organization he
wrote to the United States authorities

to organize a battery.

to get the company organized by October
/. He hopes to get at least fifty young
men together, but would be willing to
start with fifteen.
If the plan is carried out successfully
a hall for drill will be secured. The gov
ernment, 1t Is understood, will furnish
everything, the same as other militia

Although the local people are well sat

pany to the old plan of running all cars
to the ferry, still there is strong senti-

A prominent local business man said
this morning: sIf the trolley company
would put on one more car, there would
not be the necessity of rushing the cars
as is now done, in order to get to and
from New Brunswick on time.
The lengthening of the running time,
between this city and the county seat,
has also been mentioned as possibly
feasible plan for the elimination of the
