UNITY OF INTERESTS.
Relationship Of Residents Of Rural
Communities to the Home Town.

Live and let live" is a policy that
has come down through the ages and
is an expression of the Golden Rule
only in different words. There is IN
born In man desire for self-preserva-
ton. 1t is law Of life, and TO this
desire can be attributed that which IS
considered selfshness within us. Saw
age man has little regard for the
rights and properties Of others. He
lacks the sense of equity and justice
and is guided solely by the brutal in
stincts. Intelligent man realizes that
all his fellow creatures are entitled
to the same rights he would enjoy
himself. Therefore where the Chris
tian spirit is found, there can be look
ed for such equity as gives all an
equal chance to gain a livelihood and
to enjoy the products of their labor.
There should be the greatest har-
mony among the citizens of every
community. The interest of all the
classes comprising city or a district
should be considered identical. II has
been noted that the most prosperous
towns have been built up by har-
monious and united effort of all the
people composing 1t. In these days
wnen there are evils to combat, when
oppressive trusts exist that are fac
tors in unequal distribution of wealth,
it is all important that the masses In
each and every community unite and
work in harmony for the protection
and betterment of local conditions. 1t
it to be regretted that in many agri-
cultural communities there is lack
of harmony between what is called
the business interests and the produc-
ers of crops. Different reasons may
be advanced for this condition, but the
most common cause Is a misunder-
standing on the part of the citizens
as to the relationhip that should ex-
ist between them. 1t is wrong for
the teachings that go forth that the
farmers interests are different from
those of the merchant, or that the
merchants interests differ from
farmers of the community. 1t
is also an erroneous idea that the
town is alone for the tcwnspeople
and the country districts for the farm
er. Is it not true that the merchant
is dependent upon the farmer for his
support? And it is equally true that
the town Is an important thing to the
farmer. 1t is a convenience to him
and he is as deeply interested In all
that pertains to it, to its advancement
and the betterment of it's public insti
tutions, its streets, its parks and all
as are the people who reside within
the town. The merchants should real
ize how important the farmer is te
them, and the farmer should be
brought to a realization that the towr
is for him as well as for those who re
side within it's limits, and, that tht
less antagonism between the resi-
dents on the farms and the residents
Of the town the better 1t will be fol
the whole community. There is
unity of interests that cannot be
ignored, and there is common fiel'
wherein all can work for mutual bene
fit

Al Mi-na-ce's wedding, the women, OF
course, appeared in "evening Dress" and
equally, OF course. the dancing had to be
vigorous in order to keep Jack Frost from
becoming too familiar. To the measured
beating OF i drum the dancers began cir
cling the fire. Round and round they
moved IN silence. Then breaking into
a chant, the mel faced the women. ana
from time TO time solemnly revolved. But
the women never turned their backs IDOL

ure only relieved by the women and chill
dren throwing feathers at one another.
Between each dance the company partook
OF refreshments. and so the festivity pro-
ceeded until daylight.

Took Him at His Word.
From the Express Gazette.

Paul Morton. at a convention of railroad
men. said Of the railroad hog:
81 wish that all these men could be
treated as a certain Marylander once was.
The Marylander boarded a train with
two armloads of bundles. He sat down
and piled his bundles beside him. Then
he opened a paper and began to read in
great comfort.
The car by degrees grew crowded. AT
last the only vacant seat was the bundle
filled one beside the Marylander. Though
several passengers hesitatcd beside this
seat. looking at the Marylander wistfully.
he made no sign. He would rather let
the people stand than remove his goods.
FINALLY some one summoned the con-
ductor. He hurried in and said:
"'Takc down those bundles. please, at
once. Don't you see. sir. that there are
ladies standing all about you?'
"'Wha is the matter with you? Those
bundles don't belong to me. They belong
to a man in the smoker
All right said the conductor, I'm
pile them up here. then, till he comes
And he put the bundles in the rack
overhead and gave the vacant seat to q
lady.
THE Marylander laughed because he
had not had to move his bundles himself:
but, when he came to get off. he did not
laugh so heartily. AS he was gathering
his precious pile together the conductor
hurried to him and said sternly:
Don't touch those packages, sir. They
belong to a gentleman in the smoking car.
"'Ah, what's the matter with you?
snarled the other. They belong to me-
You said they didn't. answered the
conductor. and l am going to take you al
your word. The only way you can get
them is to come and Identify them at our
main Office tomorrow"

NEWt' RR{SS'fE

New York, Special: Fruition of the
plans of years is represented by the
formal opening of the new Plaza hotel,
which stands for the last achievement
in the construction of modern
saries. It's doors We're opened on Sep
TENDER 80 to the members of the Ho-
tel Mems association and at night a
Inner was given to the press of New
York, at which the story was told of
how the great structure came into be-
ing.
First to sign his name on the register
of the new hosiery was Mr.. Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt. who placed his sig
nature at the head of the list. On the
first page also appear the name of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.. Rocker. and Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander H. Revelle.
there will be approximately $50 persons
living in the new Plaza, who will be
attended by hundreds of servants and
surrounded by every comfort and lux
ury which human skill has thus far
been able to devise.
Splendid as are the appointments of
the new Plaza. it is for all that a home
hotel. The drawing rooms, the public
restaurants and the beautiful foyers
are simply apartments such as appear
in the homes of persons OF wealth and
refinement, except that they are on a
larger scale. Probably no hotel in this
city has ever been so tremendously de-
signed as this newest of them all. for
from the delicate draperies even to
the humble ash tray on the cafe tables
there is an indefinite air of distinction.

t1fty-ninth street. opens upon a foyer

St. Andrews Delegate Finds
His Daughter a Govern

Florence. N. J.. special: 81 shall return
TO Washington to my daughter in a few
days. and as soon as she is able to travel,
my wife, who lives on Twenty-second
street. New York. will join us there. And
then, after all these years of absence, and
all the heartache OF fifteen years. we shall
be together once again. happy and re-
united.
Tears stood in the eyes of Charles l..
Lewis. Of this place, today when he told
Of his plans for gathering together the
little family which was so cruelty broken
up by the Vaccinations of a jealous rela-
tive in England years ago. Until last
week he thought his wife and baby girl
dead, and his wife and daughter, be,iev-
ing that he had been killed long ago in a
railroad wreck. had almost forgotten him.
Stranger Than Fiction.
The story of the sparatlon Of the Lewis
family Is stranger than fiction. In 1874,
when only Is years old. Lewis was first
married, and six years later, while he
ters and her mother were killed in the
wreck of an excursion train.
In 1892 he married again in New York
his present wife. and here. a year later, a
baby girl was born. the young woman
who. the other day. Levi found by chance

Two years after the marriage Lewis
wife fell heir to considerable property
through the death Of a relative in Eng
land. Thinking 1t better to look after
her interests in person. she crossed the
Atlantic. leaving her little daughter with
relatives. Lewis himself took a business
trip through the west before her return.
and while away received kilograms stat
ing that both the wife and child had died.
These kilograms. as he has discovered
within the last few days. were sent by IN
English cousin. who was envious of the
share OF property which Mrs. Lewis had
received.
Feeling that he no longer had ties
binding him to the east, Lewis remained

telegram stating her husband had been
Killed in a railroad wreck.
Met Girl by Chance.
Several years ago Lewis came east and
took up his residence in this place. Here
he joined the Brotherhood of st. Andrew,
Of St. Stephens church, of which he is a
delegate to the national convention at
Washington.
While sightseeing in the capital, he
met a young woman, whose name aroused
MS curiosity. He asked her who her
mother and father were, and was astound-
ed to learn that she was his own child.
At the time Mrs. Lewis was i'll In New
York and could not be informed of her
apparent return to life. Mr..
Lewis returned here to arrange his affairs
so that he may remove to Washington.

The Unpopular Pump.

THAT famous temperance reformer. the
late Francis Murphy said a P%ittsburg
man. had many an odd adventure in the
course OF his very useful life.
HE ones told me of a case where a
drinking man. with a neat joke, got for
the moment a little the better of him in an
argument.
1.-The man was a club man, a bon y,vant.
famous for his wine cellar, and Mr.. Mur-
ply read him a strong lecture on the drink
evil.
But the bon vivant only smiled. shook
his head and said:
We'll. Mr.. Murphy, l nave seen many
a pleasant party round a table. but l have
never seen one round a pump"

Recently a clergyman spoke to a youth
full class in Sunday school. To illustrate
the idea OF regulating the sinful human
heart he took out his watch and held it

MORE and LARGER
DOCKS ARE REQUIRED
Modern War Vessels Have Out
grown Present Harbor
Accommodations.

. One. of the pressing problems of the near
future for all the great naval powers Is
the provision Of docks adequate for the
large ships which are now being con-
structed.
The tendency to build larger vessels Is
seen not only in battleships and armored
cruisers. says Casters Magazine, but also
in the smaller vessels specially esigned
for torpedo warfare. The earliest Brit
ish submarine was q small vessel displac-
ing 120 tons. The latest development OF
the type displaces upward Of 300 tons.
Again. the latest torpedo boats are larx-
err than the torpedoboat destroyers of a
decade or SO. ago. and the most recent de-
stroyers now approximate in displacement
TO third class cruisers.
For the present the British feet is fair
ly well provided with large docks. Owing
to the recent completion of The dockyard
extension scheme at Davenport, at a cost
OF about 100000 sterling. there are now
in the British empire thirteen government
docks and six colonial and private docks
which can take the Dreadnought, and
there are five other government and two
private docks in the United Kingdom as,
we'll as two colonial docks which can ac-
commodate the Lord Nelson battleships,
which are eighty feet shorter and two and
a half feet narrower than the Dread
nought. =saa
The idea IS that the British authorities.
Will initiate the forward policy initiated
with so small success by the American
navy department in the case of the Dewey
and will construct several large floating
docks which can be moved from point to-
point In accordance with the strategicaL
necessities of the moment The same prob
lem of docking accommodation for these
huge ships will have to be solved by all
the great naval powers, and where sufh-
GENTLY sheltered WATERWAYS can he Sc
cured many arguments can be advanced
In support OF the policy of movable docks
apart from considerations OF economy.
| This tendency on the part of the British
authorities has already found expression
in the construction of q large number OF
mobile repair ships for the torpedo %fiotillas
and in the provision of a floating dock for
submarines.
Another step In the direction Of in
creased mobility has been taken. There is
now nearing completion a remarkable shin
called the Cyclops, which may be STYLED
a seagoing dockyard.
This vessel has a displacement Of II. 800
tons at a load draught of 81 feet. She is
AGO feet long with a draught of So feet. and
her machinery is expected to give a speed
of II knots. For armament the Cyclops
will carry only ten %3-pounder quick firing
guns as a means Of defense against attacl.
by torpedo craft.
The interior of the ship resembles a con-
centrated d~ockyard. The Cyclops is being
equipped with carpenter, blacksmith and
armorer shops and Il large foundry where
new casting can be made. The vessel ia
also provided with equipment for dealing
with electrical work and has a COPPER
smiths workshop, and she is being fitted
with a travelling crane. She is expected to
! prove an invaluable fleet auxiliary.
