Framed about in buds and roses,

Soft rcd lips. where dimplcs play

INCREASED DRUNKENNESS.

The ST. Adams Messenger inquiries OF
the News as to whether the increased
number of cases of drunkenness in court

that the sentimental part of the case

WHAT OUR NElCHBORS SAY
The Loss Of Population In the Hill
royvns Of Vermont.

A preliminary count OF census IN
Massachusetts shows that there las been
a considerable falling cN In the popu-
lation of the back town, or, as they
are called, the hill towns. Out of thir-
teen reported by Chief Pidgir Ct the
census bureau in that State, twelve show
cd decrease. The percentage OF loss
ranges to .36 as the maximum, Whlc the
average percentage of loss Is about IL
The section of the State which lost so
heavily is in the western part, IN thc
counties Of Berkshire, Franklin ana
Hampshire, where there is little manutac-
turing. 1t is that section, too. wh'ch at
tracts the casual summer visitor VINO
steals away to the cities when the chili
Of fall approaches and who does not
figure in the population of the little com

affair." but the losses of the present CEN
sus are only continuance of several
decades past And at the present rate
some of the towns will become deporulat-
cd. For instance, the town Of Mount
Washington had 1876 inhabitants in 1897
now 1t has ST. less of 40. This is the
most striking illustration of the city ward
trend OF the population of the country
districts.

only losers IN population through the

ton does not go cut of tho state. YER

retary Of the committee on President
Gomper's report, read a supplementary
report The matter of the eight-hoT
day for the union printers was endors,
ed and the executive council in giving
the printers moral aid and financial
support, was commended.

tinue their aid to the printers If it is
necessary after Jan. 1, 1906. Tne
committee reported that the eight-hour
day for printers is in force in 26S cities
and towns in this country and Cana
ia. An assessment of cents mem.
Der was ordered by the Federation to
aid the printers in their contest.
This assessment is expected to yield
$4,000. The 50-cent assessment made
by the International Typographical
union has been indorsed by that body
by<h vote of 25,94S to 1894.
Delegate Johannsen, of Chicago,
made a severe attack on the Industrial
workers Of the world, characterizing
them as enemies of free speech and
free government. He resented the i'm
putation that the American Federation
of Labor was the American Federation
of 'grafters," as the industrial work
ers of the world called the federation.
Delegate Goldstein, of Boston, follow.
ed the speaker, with a drastric ad-
dress in which he condemned the So.
cialtsts for their inconsistency and i'll

Dor and the officers.

Sultan Getting Ready to Yield.

Constantinople, Nov. 21.-The fre.
quent and prolonged conferences OF
the council of ministers at the Yildiz
palace are believed to indicate prepa-
rations to yield in principle to the
demand Of the powers for the accep.
tance of the final reforms decided upon
for Macedonia. Probably, however,
the Turkish government will make
further attempts to secure modifca.
tions of the plans before definitely ac-
ceding the full program. The arrival
of the international fleet at Pieraecus
is likely to hasten the Turkish decision.

fer Greatly Unless Stopped.
Berkeley, Calf, Nov. 21.-Horace
Davis, a former president of the state
university and prominently connected
with the Pacific coast trade with the
Orient, declared today in a lecture on
that subject before the college of com
merce, a branch of the University, the
boycott on American goods in China,
to be a menace to American interests
in the Orient, creating situation so
serious that the Chinese government
finds itself powerless to control it, Tni
untoWard condition he attributed to tle
harsh administration of the American
exclusive law.
Speaking of the possibilities of the
trade with China alone, he said:
"The Chinese now have a foreign
commerce amounting to about $1,25 a
head per year. Japan has forty-year
developed in commerce, running from
nothing to about $3.50 per persons a
year or about $500, 100000 per year al
together. If China can be made to de
velop sucn a trade as this in the same
trade, it would amount to about $780,
030 600. Now China's foreign commerce
is $933. 900 600 What this great growth
would mean to all the countries taking
part in supplying needs can easily be
understood If China could ever be
made to develop a foreign commerce
eQualltng per capita the commerce of
this country, it would amount to the
stupendous to,al of $13,000,000, 900 a
year. an amount almost inconceivable.

Oeliey-d it will net impair tne service,
but provisions for a development OF
postal facilities to meet the growing
needs OF all sections of the country
rAe estimates Tor the postal service
at large-tne field saryice-aggreg
$193, GOO, 0G1, an increase over lasJs
years appropriation Of about $12,0J0,-
600. This increase represents tAe
normal growth Of the service based on
what the postal authorities regard a6
the most carefu, a1d conservative esti-
mates. kach succeeding year sees
large increased business of the depart
ment. The principal items in the in
crease are the rural delivery service
railway mail service, compensation to
postmasters of their clerks and the
compensation of letter carriers.
For the maintenance of the rural de-
livery and the expension over $40 900.
900 will be required. This is an in
crease of $3,3G0, 600 over the appropri
alton for the current year which IN turn
is over S5,G00,OO0 more tnan that OF
last year, so that the present estimate
is 81, 100000 more than that OF last
year, so thatr the present estimate is
81, 100000 less than tie increase Of the
present over the preceding year. That
service is contemplated is shown by
the fact that the estimate carries 1922,
900 more than the current appropria
ton. The deficit for the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1905, was $14,572,58
This amount, the difference between
the expenditures ana the revenues OF
the department, it is officially an
nonuced, may be said to represent
the actual cost of the postal service to
the people. If recent calculations are
as accurate as they have been frequent
ly in the past, they afford good reason
for believing that the deficit for the
year ending June 80, 1906, will be con.
siderably less. 1t is an interesting
fact that the total revenue fer the fis-
cal year of 1905 exceeded tie total
expenditures for the fiscal year 1904
by nearly $50O,000.
