suffocated in His Hat.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 19.-"Fell
into his hat and suffocated.'
This is the Endorsement on the
death certificate of Alfred Parlow,
who was found dead on the roadside
in North Raynham by neighbor
The man was on his way to his
home, and tripped and fell. His derby
hat slipped down over his eyes, and
his face was forced into it. The man
never recovered sufficiently to extri-
cate himself, dying of suffocation.

WHAT IT MUST LOOK LIKE

Rev. DR.. Crapsey. OF Rochester,
says the question OF the future Is
whether the trusts shall remain IN
the hands of some one like Rookie
Teller or revert into the control Of the
people.
In the first instance he declares, we
shall have an industrial Imperialism
in the latter an industrial democracy
Just now, with the Republican par
ty still further entrenched in power
it looks very much like an industrial
Imperialism.

The Chicago Record-Herald, dis
cussing the possibility of accessions
to the Republican party from among
Southern whites, says: External
pressure through federal legislation
would naturally renew the old alarms,
intensity the feeling between the

among the whites that is SO much
desired" In other words. the best
way to build up a white Republican
party in the South is for the ReDub-
,ican party to let The South alone.

Great Loss of Labor.
(London Answers.)

Probably no reader has the least
idea what is the total amount of i'm
prisonment to which offenders In
this country are sentenced every year.
The figures are remarkable. In
round numbers $50 people receive
sentences of 1920 years penal servi-
tude and $4,000 people receive SEN
tence of 10000 years Imprisonment
That is total of 20,S00 years What
dreadful loss this is to the coun-
try! Not only have all these people
to be fed, clothed, housed, guarded
but they are practically idle-or, at
least their work is of little value
me great majority of them are in
the prime working life. aged from 20

Conference For Discussion.

It was conference to talk over
means to protect the liquor traffic
from alleged fanatical legislation ad-
vocated by the Anti-Saloon League
and the Prohibitionists. Representa-
tives of the Ohio State Brewers As
ISOLATION, the Ohio Wine and Spirits
Association and various allied trades
were present and took part in the dis
cussion All the speakers agreed
that the liquor interests could not
expect to procure legislation of any
character unless the community at
large consented to it. They were of
the opinion that the people generally
would look upon their attempts to get
a license law that would improve the
character of the saloon and saloonist
as a reasonable proposition. especial
Iy when they considered that the liq-
uor people would make no attempt to
have the county local option law re-
pealed.
Some of those who attended the
meeting said that, although Judson
Harmon had been elected Governor
the support of the liquor in
terests, it was not expected that he
would use his influence to procure
favorable liquor legislation. The Gov
ernor elect, it is understood, made no
promises to the liquor people before
the election or since.

New Furs Sacrificed

We opened on Saturday last our new
stock Of furs which the heavy business has
prevented our offering ere this and we will
place them on sale this week at the most enor-
nous concessions.
We debated the question as to whether
or not we should get the furriers of whom we
bought them to take them off our hands, but
inasmuch as the orders were placed last spring
we did not feel that it would be just to them
to make this request, hence we decided to sell
them at a sacrifice and if you will come this
week you will buy furs cheaper than you ever
saw them in your life. Don't postpone it but
come at once.
