Newark Evening News:
Since G.. Asa Francis contrived to
force himself on the republican con-
vention of Monmouth county, as the
candidate for sheriff, the suspicion
has grown that he and his workers
stand ready to sacrifice any other
candidate or all the other candidates
on the ticket in order to secure his
own election. At least one reput-
able paper has declared that it be-
lieves there is a deal meditated in
Monmouth to elect Francis by dem
ocratic votes, and several others have
Endorsed the belief. AS if to give

oriein of Appendicitis.

F. A new explanation of the origin Of
appendicitis is given by a writer in

may be due to the widespread use OF
boracic acid as a food ~preservative
He says boracic acid has an Irritating
effect ON the alimentary tract when il
is swallowed in small doses for a GER

brane offers a favorable soil for the
growth of the peculiar pus-forming
germs and enables them to multiply

delegates in the American Forestry
Congress, and to have brought home
to them some account of what has
already been done in the direction
pointed out by the pioneers. The
forest reserves of the United States
now number sixty-one and they en-
brace total area of 60, 34S, $50 acres,
an increase of 525, 1852 acres since June
30, 1905. Reference has already been
made to the more Immediately desira-
BILE legislation in the interest of forest
preservation, such as the repeal of the
timber and stone act. which was urg-
ed by the board of directors of the
congress in their annual report and
by many of the speakers before the
congress. One very much desired OBJ
ject of the leaders of the movement is
the concentration of effort on the
part of those aiming to save the for
ests as a great national asset. The
House of Representative has done
something to aid in this direction by
passing bill transferring the man
agement of the forests from the Gen
eral Land Office to the Bureau of
Forestry, in which it is proposed to
consolidate all the forest work of the
federal government. 1t is also re-
garded as desirable that state associa-
tions devoted to forestry work should
be consolidated with the national as
ISOLATION, and there are hopes some
thing in this nature being accomplish
ed, or at least initiated at the pres
ent meeting. The strong interest of
President Roosevelt in the movement
was evidenced by a characteristic ad-
dress made by him before the con-
gress on last Thursday afternoon.

WHY THEY DO NOT MARRY.

There is no girl in the world so han
dicapped in the race of matrimony
as the middle class American girl. 1t
is all very we'll to pirate of liberty and
co-education and all that sort of
thing; but the American girl who
does not have to work for her living
and who is yet not wealthy enough to
be invited to balls and parties and
taken to Europe has about as much
liberty and about as much chance Of
acquiringa good substantial husband
as bird in a gilded cage
Wealthy American girls are intro
duced to men socially. They 90
about, here and there, with chaper-
ons and maids and meet the Ameri-
can man at home and the foreign man
abroad. They may buy themselves
dukes if the whim seizes them. If
they are not popular it is because
they were not born to be so, not for
lack of opportunity.
On the other hand, the woman who
goes into business, the girl in the
shops, the typewriter girl, the very
maid in the kitchen, is thrown
among men daily, and if she does not
find good husband it is because she
never was meant by Providence to
get one.
But, alas for the middle class girl!
Outside of few pink teas, where men
wouldn't go if they were invited, she
has no particular social life. During
her boarding school days she makes
eyes at a few callow youths, and if she
has brother she may by chance in
duce him to bring home few chums
or two for the holidays. But she is
thrown with men neither in business
nor socially. She feels that she is a
bit too proud or too comfortable at
home to go to work, and yet she is
not rich enough to travel or to enter
tain.
1t is only by accident that she ever
meets an eligible man. Slowly but
surely she sinks into oId-maidenhood,
wondering yainly why Prince Charm
ing never appeared; or else she
grows tired of the monotony and
breaks out into a profession or goes
in fer church work, where she meets
and marries the minister.
Do you know why so many girls
who do not have to work are filling
the downtown offices? They are do
ing it to kill the ennui that blights
the life of tie middle-class girl.-New
York Tribune.

REMITTANCES;
THURSDAY. JAN. 10. 1905.
PROSPERITY.

The farmers products represent
the most substantial increase in the
real wealth of the country. They are
not watered like stocks, nor doomed
like prices of real estate, but repre-
sent labor well paid and evenly dis
tributed and never on a strike. When
the farmer has good crops and large
stock increase it means not only pros
perity for the basal and largest part
of our people, but for every other
class and every other enterprise. The
greatest gain and cattle shipping city
in the world furnishes a good barom-
eter indicating the speedy rise or
fall of all business, as well as the far
mer. Chicago is that city and Chi
cago is experiencing a deluge of grain
that eclipses anything within the
memory of the oldest members of the
Board of Trade. Between six and
nine million bushels of the golden
product from the west yainlY awaits
transportation eastward today
Every scrap of railroad equipm ent is
in use and it is useless to seek more
Monday morning 5000 carloads of
grain were offered for transportation
and refused. One main eastward
trunk line has orders calling for 1, 900
more cars than they possess.
When the congested condition of
railway traffic is caused, not by in
efficient management but by enor-
nous increase in coal, coke, grain,
cattle and general merchandise, so
that the whole equipment of cars and
motive power is insufficient tosupply
the legitimate business, it means pros
perity for the railroads and clearly
indicates great revival in all depart
ments of business. The year is to be
a record breaker in the prosperity
and general business of the country.
