The Gardiner correspondent of the ken
nebec Journal speaks in no uncertain Ian
guage of the cruelty of those persons who
go away tor vacations and leave their
cats, dogs and even canary birds to
starve. No less than seven homeless
pussies were counted in one day last week
by the reporter. Such utter lleartlessness
and cruelty toward dumb animals who's.

1t was an exceptionally prosperous
July in the business and banking cir
cles of the United States. According
to the compilations of the Dun
agency the commercial failures were
only 7S6 in number and $6.14S.9SO In
amount OF defaulted Indebtedness. a
Very favorable comparison with the
1.107 insolvencies for $S.S12.097 in the
corresponding month last year. or the
g15 failures involving debts OF $16,751,-
245 In July, 1908. 1t is necessary to go
back to 1901 to find July with fewer
suspensions. while the amount involved
was smaller this year than any year
since the records were compiled in this
form. with the single exception of 1899.
There were 173 failures of manufac-
turers. with liabilities of S3,519.739
against 264 last year. when the amount
was s3,7O7.771. The contrast is most
striking as to trading defaults: 594 for
81. 169.0S6 falling far short of the SOC
in 1904 involving s4.3Ss.O3O. Other
commercial failures. not properly en-
braced by the two leading classes, such
as real estate, brokerage. commission
and similar houses were ~ in number
and s46e.1 in amount, compared with
81 for $6SS, 296 last year. Eight banks
closed their doors with liabilities Of
s1.237.slS. against ten last year when
the Indebtedness rose to s3.320,2S9.

According to the estimate of the d.
rector of the census the present popu-
latiou of Nevada is about 10000. which
is over 1000 less than its population in
1900. as shown by the national census
taken i'm that year. And this, too. in
spite of the fact that Goidfeld, one of
its mining towns. has had great
boom in the past year or two and
grown from a small camp to a city of
5000 or more people. The future OF
this little state with its vanishing pop
ulation is an interesting problem.

One point at which Maine has an adj
vantage over most of the states which are
traversed by great rivers is that the
