AN INTERESTING RELIC.
jackson's Farewell Address, in Which
He Predicted Civil War.

Daniel w. Thornton, "a Chicago
railroad man, has in his possession an
interesting relic in the shape of a
copy of General Andrew Jackson's
farewell address to the people on his
retirement from the Presidency Of the
United States. The address is COM
posed of about IL, 000 words and was
delivered March 8, 1887. There were
originally fourteen copies printed in
black type on white satin, but only
one of the copies remains, that one
being Mr.. Thorntons.
Mr.. Thornton was in this city re.
Gently visiting friends, and while here
exhibited the relic and told of how
it came to be in his possession. His
father, who was Charles G.. Thorn
ton, Canton, Ohio. printer, at the
time the address was made, set up
the type for the fourteen copies and
was presented with one of them.
When he died, in 1887, his son came
into possession of it and has carried
1t as keepsake since. The COPY is
remarkably well preserved and the
owner several times has been offered
large sums of money for it.
There was another copy in the DOS
session of Canton editor, but about
two years ago his home burned and
the satin relic with it.
In the address General Jackson
warns his auditors against civil war.
He states that disputes will ultimate
ly cause severance of friendly rela.
tons between the States, and the
trouble will only be settled by combat
on the field of battle and with fire
and sword. The Civil War followed
twenty-four years after the farewell
address.
The speaker also denounced the
banking system of the time, saying
that great danger would result from
a few men controlling the currency
and thus acting injuriously upon the
interests of the others; that they
were exercising an unjust proportion

Every citizen should know what a
corporation like the Metropolitan
costs the average man. In Great
American Fortunes" in McClure's.
Burton ]. Hendrick sums up the case
very clearly. Professional jurymen
hired to defeat the law; children's
signatures bought for nickel for
what purported to be popular pc
tition to the Legislature; the public
literally bought and sold at every
turn-those are facts which Mr.. Hen
drick brings to light.
Probably no street railway capt.
talists ever had so rich an opportunity
for legitimate profit. The income
from nickel fares amounts to sS7,-
100000 year. In spite of this, the
whole Metropolitan system is in a
condition of deplorable decay. The
story of the road, and the enormous
fortunes which have been made by
its exploitation. is clearly written in
its physical dilapidation. Crazy We
hicles, with machinery so out of joint
that its rafting can be heard blocks
away. are running upon the most pre-
tentious thoroughfares. Their filthy
condition renders them a constant
menace to the public health. The
quality of the employees. according To
a statement recently made by Oren
Root, the Metropolitan general
manager, is constantly deteriorating;
the men are so poorly paid that only
those desperately in need of work
join the Metropolitan force.
THE surface cars are not provided
with the most ordinary safety de-
vices. New York is the only large
city in the country where the old
fashioned mandrake is still in use.
The Third avenue road, before the
Metropolitan acquired it, used power
brakes on all its cars: the first act
of the Metropolitan, when it assumed
control, was to remove these safety
appliances. and the explanation usu-
ally accepted is that the management
feared that the successful use of
power brakes on one railroad would
cause the public to demand that the
reform be extended to all the lines.
This failure to use proper safety ap.
planes and the inexperience of the
employees makes the casualty list a
heavy one. An investigation recently
made showed that in twenty-seven
days there had been $500 accidents
on the street railways of New York
City; forty-two people were killed
outright, ten skulls were fractured
ten limbs amputated, forty-four
limbs broken, while eighty-three
other passengers were seriously in
jured. In proportion to the traffic.
the New York street railways killed
eight times as many people as those
in Liverpool. Their record is sur
passed only by the -Elkins
roads in Philadelphia, which killed
sol passengers last year AS a re-
suit of its accidents, the Metropolitan
spends annually nearly million and
a half dollars in damage SUITS

Cure Not Proved.

1t is not every one who proves the
ineffectualness of insomnia cures at
seven years of age. The father of
the lad who was about seven years
old was physician, and when the
child found difficulty in getting to
sleep was ready with advice.
I'm tell you something that will
soon put you to Sleep" he said. You
begin and count slowly up to one
hundred, and then another hundred,
and so on, and before you know it
you'll be sleeping. Try it tonight
when you go to bed"
Everything remained quiet that
night until the father went to retire.
As he passed the boys bed little
voice piped:
Papa"
Yes, my boy"
What comes after trillions?"
But the wakeful youngsters query
was not answered; his father had
vanished into his own BEDROOM

Trees For Roads.

Between 5000 and 1000 trees are
set out each year under the direction
of the Massachusetts State Highway
Commission. The policy OF tree
planting adopted by the commission
is due to the belief that the tree,
by shading the roads, save them
greatly for travellers.
New Jersey might well follow Mas
sachusetts' good example. This State
leads in the number of miles Of i'm
proved roads, but beautiful. we'll
shaded roads are of almost as much
importance as good roads. There is
no reason why Jersey should not have
both.
The cost of planting trees along
the highways of the Commonwealth
would be small. The value of the
investment would be multiplied a
hundred, perhaps thousand, fold in
a score of years. The State has
plenty of money, and the State should
do the work. This is matter which
should be agitated by the press

when he was a child his father threat.
ened him with a beating If he did
something or other.
The child was puzzled as TO what
sort of thing beating might be, for
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, his imagination was
unable to work on the sight and re-
construct the experience of these 9TH

When his father threatened him,
therefore, he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea of how
beating really felt. 1t took very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries Of his knowl-
edge
Swift retribution followed the un-
pardonable sin of showing disrespect
to his father. AS the children go

lay for preparation. The father took
