Limit of Power to Control.

We don't know much about politics,
but If the president is to have power
to control, through men appointed by
him, the prices charged for transpor-
tation on our railroads, we do not
quite understand why he should not
have the same power in regard to
steamboats,, interstate express compa-
MES, telegraph and telephone compa-
MES, and so on to the end of the chap
ter, including, perhaps, the prices of
things in states where they are not
manufactured, and if one of these
days an ambitious rascal of the Ma
poleon stamp should manage to get
into the White House, with all this
power and the army and navy behind
him, and should take fancy to dis
tinguish himself, under the Monroe
doctrine, by attempting to conquer the
world, we wonder what would become

Costly Shed for Music.

In the interest of music, Carl
Stoeckel, Norfolk millionaire and
founder of the Litchfield County
Choral union, comprising five singing
societies in as many towns in the
county, is having a mammoth music
shed erected on the grounds of his
residence, Whitehouse, in Norfolk.
The building, which will cost 100000,
will be completed in June, when the
union will give it's sixth annual con-
cert, singing Mendelssohn' Hymn of
Praise" Each annual concert costs
Mr. Saoeckel about $4,000. The sing
ers are always assisted by an orches-

President Lincoln was a Mason. AL
though statements to that effect have

CUTTING COTTON'S COST.
Remarkable Invention Promises 70

heCuCc lost 20 FeF NeNt.
Many mechanical cotton pickerS
have been invented to gather the cot
ton from the plant. Some picked ev-
erything in sight, lint, leaves and
bolls. Some were made principally to
sell stock in the companies that ex-
plotted them, and never picked at all.
One ran away on a plantation in Mis-
sissippi and destroyed half an acre OF
cotton. Cotton pickers and gold
bricks are in the same category to
the average farmers mind. Yet there
is mechanical cotton picker that has
worked. Mr.. George Lowry has made
one which with it's five operators
picked 1,4S4 pounds in day. thou
sand pounds is good days work for
five hand pickers. The machine with
five men did the work of seven or
eight hands. 1t is not yet in it's final
shape The promoters admit that 1t
is not adapted to all kinds of cotton.
Yet, with it's limitations, if 1t could
save even one-quarter of the SIS, ,000,-
900 or more annual expense, and rem
der the present labor supply adequate
for the gathering of the crop, Mr..
Lowry would go down in history with

THE INDISPENSABLE MAN.

Prudent Business Men Now Get Rid Of
That Pomposity.
Some OF the most successful busi-
ness men in this country make it a
rule to dispense with the services of
any man in their employ, no matter
how important his position may be,
as soon as he comes to regard himself
as indispensable" says Success. This
may seem harsh and even unbusiness-
like; but, II we look into 1t, we shall
find that there is wisdom in this prac-
tice. Experience proves that. the mo-
ment a man looks upon himself as ab-
solutely necessary, he usually ceases
to exercise to the fullest extent the
faculties which have helped him to
rise to that indispensable point. He
becomes arrogant and dictatorial, and
his influence in an organization IL
bound to be more or less demoraliz-
ing. Many concerns have been seri-
ously embarrassed by tho conduct OF
managers. superintendents, or heads
Of departments. after they had reached
positions where they thought no one
else could take their places. This
undue appreciation Of ones own i'm
portance is as disastrous in its re-
suits as utter lack Of self-esteem. It

LOST EYESICHT
Through Coffee Drinking

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves
OF the body. Personal experience with
thousands proves the general state
ment true and physicians have records
Of great numbers Of cases that add to
the testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
Ill, Register Gazette:

cases Of lost eyesight ever in history.

have been but few cases OF its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups Of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records Of the specialists Of this
country this is the .hrst case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case Is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one IL that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
