THE LAST ENGLISHMAN
London Express.


In spite Of the outspoken criticisms
of the Bishop of Ripon and the Bishop
Of London on the subject Of childless
marriages and limited families, there
are many who take a less pessimistic
view of the matter. 49,.
William Schooling, the mathematical
and insurance expert, discussing the
case from the national standpoint, saw
no reason for alarm. - ~. ~
"Tho there has been a drop in the
birth rate per 1000 from 29.6 in 1897
representative, there is no reason to
suppose that we are about to share the
tate OF ancient Greece and Rome.
Taking the average decrease of 1.3
in ten years, with birth rate of 81 @
per 1000 in 1904, it is quite simple
arithmetical exercise to prove that in
214.6' years births will have entirely
ceased. s.-.-..a... =. =.
But it is obvious that this is merely
an amusing mathematical diversion.
"There will always be those who love
children and will have them. Conse-
quently, it is plain that the lower the
birth rate gets the more slowly it will
decrease until it arrives at a stationary
tigure-which it inevitably must do in
time. : 81
Meanwhile, in spite of heavy emf
grafton OF young people, the population
is increasing. The births are still a
long way ahead Of the deaths, and until
the two figures threaten to equalize, the
depopulation theory should have no
very great terrors. There is no press
ing reason, in my opinion, to fear that
their business in San Francisco may not
survive the strain is deemed probable.

the total insurance loss was 500 900 900

Mother Says:
HCUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

"In reply to your. letter write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by q
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, ] resorted to the
Cutieura Remedies. and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied enc
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem,
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
In July of this year a little boy IN
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were q mass
of torturing sores We, used only. the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap; and
anointed them with the Cuticura Omit
ment, and then gave him the. Cnticurs
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; SO we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for: the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable

Washburn, Wis, May 1O.--In a decision
just handed down in the state supreme court
the decision of the circuit court that Nels Lee,
former treasurer OF the town Of Washburn, and
his. boEdsnen were liable for $4,000 and In
terest for about five years has been reversed.
The case grew out Of order which was co,l-
tended to have been Illegally Issued by the town
board for the purpose Of securing frontage in
this city for the Northern Pacific railway COM
pany.s~@ z2 t7' ~ 80. - @z.s = e.
At "a public meeting held about six years ago.
the citizens voted to give the Northern Pacific
$4,000 for frontage If the road would buy the
cid Battle AK line and come TO this city
The Battle AK road had cost the citizens Of
the county $4,000 in aid bonds, and 10 benefit
had been received from 1t. The road was about
to be torn up and sold as scrap steel had the
Northern Pacific not purchased 1t. ID -
The; order for the $4,000 was issued by the
town board and cashed by FIT. Yates at the
local benks,s and the money taken to st. Paul
and delivered to the railroad company. Some
$4,000 was returned, and the balance taken out
Of the treasury. After the city was, incorpo-
rated the town of Washburn brought suit against
the former treasurer and his bondsmen for tho
So. 900 and interest contending that the order
was illegal and that the treasurer had no right
to take the money out of the public funds
The decision just made holds that F. r. Yates
and the banks that cashed the order are liable
for the amount. It IS thought the case will be

TO DUST THE CITY HALL

The courthouse and city hall commits
sioners have decided to solicit bids for
installing the suction system for clean
ing the building, instead Of the present
method of cleaning by sweeping and
busting. The system is said to raise
no dust, and to be more effective, expe-
ditious and economical. It will be
necessary to pipe the entire building,
and while the first cost will be consider
able, the expense will soon be made up.
The matter of art carving for the
Railways was referred to the building
committee with power to act as it is
planned to have the work completed
this summer. It was reported that the
work on the main entrance was pro-
crossing in satisfactory manner.
