Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

THE OLD VS.. THE NEW.

The progress Of the war in the East
appears to bring out one lesson that is
something of surprise to many peo-
pie. The Cossacks up to date have
not amounted to much in the war,
although it was of the Cossacks as
wonderful fighters that the most was
heard at the outbreak of the war.
Ii Is probably not because the Cos
sacks are irregular troops, furnish
ing their own horses and equipments
and being much less closely bound by
the rules of the regular army, for the
Boer cavalrymen did the same in
South Africa and still they were ad-
mittedly effective. The point APP
pears to be that the Cossacks have not
adapted themselves to the changed
conditions of modern warfare.
The day OF the old style cavalry
man and his gallant charges, with
swinging sabre, appear to be past.
The adoption of powerful, accurate
and effective breech- loading magazine
rifles by the armies of the world
sounded the death knell CT the cavalry

make altogether too good a target for
the modern rife from which ten shots
to one can be fred, in point of time,
as compared with the old muzzle-

But because the old cavalry is
not effective does not mean that cav
airy will be done away with. 1t

STRIKE CALLED OFF.

Rutland, Sept. 10 The strike of
the marble workers was officially de-
clared off yesterday by the executive
committee of the International Asso-
citation of Marble Workers, and thereby
unionism in this vicinity has received
n crushing defeat. The action has
been sanctioned by the local unions
and the men returned to work today.
President Fitzgerald of the Iuterna-
tional Association addressed a big
mass meeting of strikers here yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Fitzgerald said
later that the strikers were beaten
through the treachery of some of
their own members claiming that the
marble companies bought many of
the strikers.
Rutland, Sept. 19.-The striking
marble workers returned to their
places of employment this morning,
but out of the 400 who struck on July
IL, probably less than seventy five
found places this morning. This is
from several causes. The Vermont
Marble Company of Proctor had filled
the places of nearly all and will retain
the men who filled in. Out Of over
200 strikers less than a dozen were
given work this morning others to be
given places when there are any
Tempe Brothers, Columbian COM
pany, W. r. Kinsman, each took back
few this morning, but all had filled

starts up which has been dormant be-
cause of the strike. The Rutland
Florence Company took. back half
dozen, the Fowler plant and entire
force of West Rutland plant, thirty
Several strike leaders who are respon-
sible largely for the strike, found no
work anywhere this morning, though
they went all around looking, but
they probably will never get their
places here. Probably $50 strikers
moved out Of the city during the
strike. Some will come back.

COCKRAN'S ORATORY

Bourke Cochran, the Democratic
giant who signalized his re-entry into
the House of Representatives by an
eloquent peroration on the decadence
of that body, had tilt with Governor
O'Ferrall Of Virginia many years ago.
Governor O'Ferrall said the powerful
New Workers. speech reminded him of
little story. A traveller was riding
over country road, when terrific
thunder storm developed. 1t was
night and as dark as Erebus. Through
the stormy night the traveller guided
his horse by the fare of the lightning.
But though the storm ragged fercely,
the forked streaks of electric illumi-
nation were infrequent, while the
peals of thunder waved necessarily.
Finally the balated wayfsrer,
a wearied in spirit, made a supplica-
ton to the Omnipotent:
20, Lord !" he prayed, if it is
just the same to you, l would like to
have little more light and not quite
SO much noise. "-Oollier's Weekly.

DIED or DIPHIHERIA.

Mortified, Sept 20-Roy Sawyer,
second child OF Fred X. Sawyer who
lives on firm about two miles out
of the village, died yesterday after
noon at 3 O'Clock after Al illness of but
forty EIGHT hours with malignant diph.
liberia Antitoxin was administered
but proved Intellectual. The case is
an especially sad one from the fact
that the mother is now ill with ty-
phoid fever. The house is under strict
quarantine and the attending physi-
can. DR.. W. B. Mayo, has done all
that is possible to prevent the other
children from contracting the disease.
Mr.. Sawyer is brother of Mrs. Har-

Gently. Mr.. Sawyer is employed in
the Davis mill at Gouldsville and the
sympathy of all is extended to him in

A REPUBLICAN IA MILY.

New Brunswick. Sept. 17.-Disput-
ing the statement published some time
ago that a citizen of Montana had in
his immediate family the largest num-
Der of Republican voters of any fam
lily in the country, Abner S. Coriell of
New Market now says that the title
belongs to him. In figuring up Mr..
Coriell found that total of seventeen
Republican ballots were cast each
election by his family, which beats
the Montana mans record by one.
Added to Mr.. Coriell's steady Re-
publican ballot, the voters are as fol-
lows: Smalley Coriell, ana his two
sons Charles Coriell of Dunellen and
two sons; the two sons of the late
Samuel CoTiell. who are now living
IN this city and George and William
Coriell of New Market. These votes
from the families of Mr.. Coriell's sops
must be added to the ballots of Mel
win Van Keuren, brother-in. law, of
Jersey City and the father OF two Re-
publican sons; Charles Elliott and
son of Scotch Plains, and K. A. W rite
of Red Bank, another son. iu-law.

VAR NEWS.

Rome, Sept. 20.-A despatch to
the Agenzia Liberia says that great
battle bet ween the Japanese and Rus
slams has commenced at Mukden.
General Kuroki, after a wide turning
movement, crossed the Hunho river
and attacked the Russian left flank
with 100, 600 troops. The total Japa-
nese force is three times greater than
that OF the Russians and conditions in
the vicinity of Mukden are almost
identical with those at Liaoyaug, ex-
cept that the Russian positions are
inferior.
London, Sept, 20. Baron Hayashi,
Japanese minister, today made public
the report from Field Marshal Oyama
giving the list of further stores cap
tured when Liaoyang fell into Japa-
nese hands. Oyama reports that he
obtained $4,000 bushels of grain, 800
tons of fuel, and other stores not given
in detail.
Rome, Sept. IA Liaoyang des-
patch says the japanese advance ON
Mukden is proceeding and that a
fourth of the army from New Chwang
is now on the Russian extreme left
Gen. Kuroki has received two new
division, making total japanese force
of 300, 600 men.
st. Petersburg, Sept. l9.-Gen, Ku-
ropatkin reports that Reconnaissance
by the Russian infantry and artillery
has been made toward enemy's front
and right flank. The Japanese were
driven back Russian losses were
slight. The Japanese, he says, are
concentrating between Yenti and Ben
saipdzi to south of Mukden.
Belrin, Sept. l9.-The foreign office,
it is stated, has received information
that Russia will refuse to recognize
the Anglo-Thibetan treaty regarding
the demolishing of Thibetan strong
holds and the maintaining of British
rights in Thibet. 1t is possible that
this refusal will give rise to serious
situation.

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON.

1t is remarkable how some authors,
when writing of clerical and official
life in Washington differ. Mr..
White, the Kansas editor, who has
written magazine article about
President Roosevelt, says: Wash
ington is the hot house of petty graft
ing. OF the "a, 600 office holders in
the town not 500 look upon these
offices as sacred trusts of the people. "
He adds that all of this vast army
will take anything it can get from the
government, from a half hours stolen
time to a cake of soap, President
Roosevelt, in his just issued letter ct
acceptance, takes another view OF the
situation. From his point of obser-
walton at the White House, his ex-
perience as assistant secretary OF war,
and civil service commissioner, he
says: The public work of the
United States has never been con-

KOSCIUSZKO STATUE.

The Poles at Chicago recently IN.
yelled beautiful statue of Thaddeus
Kosciuszko in Hum boldt park. Chi
cago has the largest Polish population
of any city in the country. and Kosci-
uszko did more for the United States
than any other man from Poland.
The Chicago monument is the first
one erected in this country to his
memory. Kosciuszko was born near
Novogrudek, in l746. received the
basis of his military knowledge in
Poland, and finished his education in
France. In 1776 he came to this
country to fight in the cause of liber-
ty, and was first under Gen. Gates.
1t was Kosciuszko who planned the
forts near Saratoga which Burgoyne
could not take, ana he was also the
engineer of the Notifications at West
Point. His ability was recognized by
au appointment as adjutant on the
staff of Gen. Washington, and at the
close of the war he was publicly
thanked by Congress for his services to
the infant republic, and given the
badge of the Cincinnati Then he
went back to Poland, and was made
major general in her army. He
fought bravely against the Russians
in 1912, and when King Stanislaus
agreed to the second partition of his
kingdom, Kosciuszko went to Leipsic
and became citizen of France. When
Poland rose against her oppressor in
1894, Kosciusko was made dictator
and commander in-chief of the revo-
lutionary army, and CALAMITY de-
Tended Warsaw against the com bined
forces OF Russia and Prussia. In the
end he was made prisoner, and passed
two years in st. Petersburg prison,
and when released was offered, and
refused, hoDors by the Gear He came
to this country, where honors we're
again heaped upon him But his
heart was always with his native
land, and he returned TO europe again
in short time, finally dying in Swift
zerland in 1917. Now his body lies
in the big church at Cracow, where
his memory is revered even more than
in this country, which now has hon
ored him third time.

LET US HAVE THE VOUCHERS.

The silly story that o. J. Bell
overcharged the State for his services
as cattle commissioner ought to be
probed to the bottom, and if it
originated in malice the responsibility
should be fixed. Mr., Bell says the
vouchers for his expenses are at the
State auditors Office and it is only a
matter Of little clerical work to
check them up. The story did not go
down, ss the election returns prove,

THAT CENSORSHIP.

The efficiency of the news censor
ship in the East continues to be the
wonder and at the same time the
cause of great annoyance to newspaper
men the world over. Never has a
censorship been so effective as that of
the Japanese suthorities-or OF the
Russian as well-never so rigid and
all embracing, never SO much feared
by the press. It is not only the
special correspondents Of European
and American papers that feel the
clutches Of the despotic censor but
also the editors of the papers in the
two coubatant countries. Not a
word can be sent out and not word
printed except it has received rae
official sanction of the censor. Jap
anese editors have been fined for an
allusion to the rumored appearance of
the japanese squadron off the coast,
for saving that japanese cruisers had
been observed near a certain point,
for saying that the Vladivostok squad
ron was in hiding near the anchorage
of the Japanese squadron.
The censors are reported to be cap
riclous and tyrannioal, So that no
newspaper man can tell what news
will be ruled out and what will be
allowed to pass. Recently the cor
respondents made united effort to
get around the censors but all to no
avail.
The result of this close censorship
is that the news concerning the war
is very unreliable, Practically moth
ing can be believed except such re-
ports as bear the official endorsement
of the authorities on one side or the
other, and even those must be taken
oftentimes with an ounce of caution.
The free lance reports from Chez Foo,
Shanghai. Tien-Tsin' and other Ohm
ese ports are unreliable. They may
be true but are likely to be false.
No mans reputation or position as a
war correspondent depends upon
them. The graphic pen pictures
such as have been presented by the
newspapers in other wars are lacking
in this one but it will mean all the
more interesting reading when the
histories come out

IL is reported that more than half the
government loan of 1890, 600 to the
fair has been repaid on the dates
promised and the rest, the manage

cago for the corresponding months was

The st. Louis Globe Democrat pro-
nounoes the great undertaking "a
complete success in all respects =" The
question, it says, as to the desire
to visit even the greatest of interna-
tional expositions at this time, and in
that part of the world. has reached
happy solution. People are pouring
in from all localities and the tide
from distant States aud countries is
steadily rising. Many eastern people
have chosen the autumn for their
vista season of comfort and beauty
in the Mississippi valley. The pro.
longation of the fair until December 1
is felt to be wise provision. The
fair has been organized at great cost
and infinite public spirited labor, the
reward of which is now being resped.
Whatever criticism may have been
expressed concerning the action of the
government in making a loan to the
exposition, the news that it will be
fully reimbursed and that the fair may
realize handsome profit will be
gratifying not only to st. Louis peo-
pie but to the public in general
