1t is the purpose of The Herald

to write up from time. to time the var

had Mr.. Salter to take interior views
OF the four banking institutions Of
the city. These articles are not in
tended to be. historical, but rather to
show the Newberry of today. In this
connection, however, as the National

kind in the city, and for a great many
years was the only banking institu-
tion in this part of the state, we give
today cut of the three presidents

three to ten metres (ten to thirty three feet) folded as often as may be re- quired for convenient packing. These tapers are now used chiefly by wine merchants and by sextons in lighting church candles.
 The very short and thick candles called veilleuses, or night candles, are composed of a mixture of wax and stearine. The moulding machine diff fers considerably from the apparatus used for ordinary candles, although the principle of the operation is un- changed. After the little candles have cooled the attendant removes them from the moulds and conveys them to women, who put them into tin cups, which prevent the escape of melted wax during combustion, and pass them to older women, who label and pack them.
 Paraffined paper is made simply by drawing long rolls of paper by means of a series of cylinders through a steam heated trough containing a so- lution of paraffine and stearic acid, and thence to a large wooden cylinder on which 1t is rolled.

BID IND SAD.

We are truly benevolent and beneflcent to our little brown brothers in the Philippines, but it ap- pears that we can't do them all the good we want to. For instance, we cant make them give up their wicked coclNfghtlng and gambling. Governor IT. c, Shanks, of Cavite province, thinks so, and he is on the ground and ought to knew. There is nothing more dear to the heart of the average Fil- ipino than 8 good cock1ght. It is the one universal amusement The keep ing and training of fighting cocks Is growing, and is steadily encroaching on time that ought to be devoted to other and more important matters. Oftentimes money lost In the cockpit is money that ought to have gone to pro- vide food for the family or seed for the field Any one who sees much of the home life of the people is struck by the waste of time caused by groups of men sitting around In the shade, with gamecocks pecking at each other, and building air castles of the bliss that will be theirs when the next Sun days contest in the municipal cockpit shall hrinp to thau the long soueht victory. The time thus wasted is very frequently time that ought to be spent in guiding the carabao in the rice field or in using the hemp machine in the forest,
 Sad enough and bad enough. The outlook in this matter is certainly not good, but perhaps 1t may in time be ameliorated by the spread of our na- tional game in the colonies.

THE RICHEST MEXICAN.

 "senor Alverado is not peon and he never offered to pay the Mexican national debt,, although he Is probably financially able to do so.
 The Palmilla mine, which is proba- bly the richest in the world, said MT. Evans, 'has been owned and operated by the Alverado family for more than two hundred years. When Perdo AL verado took over the mine his fore fathers had almost succeeded in re- moving the covering to the incalcula- ble riches of the mine. After few years work, when Pedro opened up the rich veins, 1t was announced to the world that peon had suddenly struck 1t rich.
 The manner in which a part of the American press has treated Alverado has served to make him very bitter against all people from the United States. He resents being pictured as having a thousand clocks and fifteen or twenty pianos in his house, and of decorating his person with gold and jewels. As matter of fact, Alverado is an exceedingly refined gentleman, the richest man in Mexico

A GAY CAMpA1eN.

There will be lot of fun in Con- necticut seeing what people do in poli- ties this fall, but there will be no such campaign as the one which is to be carried on in Wisconsin by Henry F. Cochems, who wants and means to go to Congress. Cochems comes of 8 family of football stars, of which he was the brightest, and he proposes as the most unique phase of his campaign for the nomination to use two other football brothers to help him. Carl Cochems is on his way from Europe to take part in an opera company, and Ed Cochems is almost equally gifted in a musical way The two will at- tend every meeting to be addressed by Henry, and will sing campaign songs composed by Carl, with words written by Eddie. They will be assisted by Matthew McRae, a well-known Wis SolLolA dllIdlSuF llu14Cldllt AAS AuSNA tette will provide whole nights amusement at the various villages and ward meetings in the district, which includes a large part of Milwaukee, and all of Waukesha county.
 Some people will, we suppose, think this is not a very dignifed perform ance, but 1t can at least be said that it is better than buying nomina- ton, as they say Is sometimes done. If Cochems can sing or get himself sung into Congress and sing right after he gets there he may be as use- full as the ordinary congressman,

 had hardly lowered my bait when off my line went, until almost all of my fifty yards had reeled out. Still ii did not stop, so quickly loosed the loop holding the anchor line. That let the boat enter the race and enabled me to regain a third of my reef.
 This third did not remain long to my credit, and my strained position was relieved only when the fish again changed directions. After making sev- eral fierce lunges he was quiet for a while, almost allowing me to get a glimpse of him.
 Then he went to the bottom and re- appeared, fine fellow with moss and weeds on his nose, only to be gone again, pulling hard for every inch of line.
 The fighting was now rather close hauled, giving me a greater advantage, and for the first time l realized the possibility of landing him as he rolled over on the surface of the water, showing signs of exhaustion. Howev- CT, the fight was not over, for after ly- ing quietly for a few seconds he would make another mad rush, rarely stop- ping until all my line was out and he was pulling the boat.

slipped-at least in minor matters-in- to scandalous state of mismanage- ment. Letters so. frequently miscarry' or are mislaid, that it is usual for safe ty to telegraph when letter is sent. The post boxes are habitually left un- locked in one district so that anyone can take letters out. The customs charges are not claimed on parcels de- livered. The railroad tickets are not issued in time, and an extensive system of travelling by bribine the guards and inspectors Is habitual, and we'll known, even to European residents. Great de- lays are made in daily petty business, in order to extort bribes. The police system of collecting evidence is mass of abuse and corruption. And the na- tive doctors are a terror, owing to their extortions. The causes of this deterio- ration seem to depend on the disap-
 
 pearance of the old generation of Euro- peanItrained men. The remedy lies in a much stricter training. But this in- capable class are naturally unable to realize better ways, and they as natur- ally want to do everything in their nwn fashion and to nontro1 the whole management. They aspire to get rid of the European heads, who are the only check on their unlimited pillage of the country And they are ready for any mischief which may lead in that way.
