BEAU FIELDING.
He Was the Enigma Of English Social
Life In His Day.

Life In His Day.
Beau Fielding was a young man or
fashion in the reign of William III His
house was sumptuously furnished. his
hunters, hacks and racers were Of
great value, and "he kept a table OF
princely hospitality" He had no os-
tensible source of income. All that was
known Of him was that he was the
fifth son Of Thomas Wilson, an impov-
erished gentleman Of Leicestershire
Evelyn describes him as a very young
man. civil and good natured, but or
no great force of character" and very
sober and of good fame" All attempts
to discover his secret were vain. In
his most careless hours of amusement
he kept a strict guard over his tongue
and left scandal to conjecture what 1t
pleased"
He redeemed his fathers estate and
portioned off his sisters and when re-
monstrated with on his extravaganza
replied that however long his life
should last. ne would always have
enough to live in the same way. Some
said it was he who had robbed the
Holland mail, for which another man
had suffered: others that he depended
upon the gambling table, though he
never played for large sums. He was
the enigma of social life till his career
was cut short by duel. His adversary
was at that time a young man about
town like himself, John Law, who
afterward became the founder Of the
famous Mississippi scheme by which
half of France was ruined. When the
mysterious Beau died be left only
few pounds behind him and not a
scrap of evidence to enlighten public
curiosity.

Real american Aristooraov.

1t was through the Declaration Of
Independence that we Americans ac-
knowledge the eternal inequality Of
man, for by it we abolished a cut and
dried aristocracy. We had seen little
men artifcially held up in high places
and great men artifcially held down in
low places, and our own justice loving
hearts abhorred this violence to human
nature. Let the best man win" That
is Americas word. That is true democ-
racy. And true democracy and true
aristocracy are one and the same thing.

Sweet Cane From a Far Country.
1t has been supposed that sugar cane
was the sweet cane from a far coun-
try" mentioned in Jeremiah vi. 20,
and in Isaiah xiii. "a According to
Strabo, Nearchus, the admiral Of Alex
ander the Great describes a kind Of
honey" from an Indian reed which
was probably sugar cane. Europe
seems TO be indebted for the plant to
the Saracens, who introduced it into
Rhodes. Cyprus. Sicily, Crete and Spain
in the ninth century. The crusaders OF
the twelfth century found it in Syria
The Spaniards and Portuguese carried
it to Madeira and the Canaries in the
fifteenth century. and on the discovery
of America it was taken to the West
Indies-New York American.

Roosevelt's Antitrust Law.

Another indication of the strenu-
osity of President Roosevelt is ms
attempt to supplant the Sherman
antitrust law. with Il statute of ms
own. vcSting the power for enforce
mcnt solely under Federal authority.
He objects to it likewise on the
ground that the law is unreasonable
inaSmuch as it tolcrateS no form OF
combination. The new bill, to be
suggested by him, provides hat
industrial combinations may he
formed. and those existing con-
tinued if all information asked for
be supplied to the Commissioner OF
Corporations, thus placing the trusts
under Federal control; that rail roads
may make pools. or traffic agreement,
if the agreements are submitted to
and approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission; that even 'paral-
lei and competing railroads may
consolidate, if all the circumstances
are mad: known to and approved by
the Federal Government; and that
labor organizations shall be exempted
from the statute covering conSpir-
acieS in restrain. of trade.
1t is said to be the understanding
that if this bill is passed all pending
prosecutions of trusts will be stopped
and the slate wiped clean. Combina-
tions of all kinds will be given an OPP
portunity to adjust themselves to
the new law
The proposed changes in the law
are along the lines suggested by the
conference of the Civic Federation,
held in Chicago few week ago. AT
a recent conference these ideas
were presented by Commissioner
Smith.
The particular interest of the labor
is to secure an amend
ment to the Sherman law which will
exempt them from the practical Oper-
alton of the act as conspiracies in
restraint of trade. A proposition of
that kind now is pending in Congress,
but in the opinion of some of the
participants in the White House con-
ference it would be unconstitutional
if enacted in its present shape.

attacked the legality OF this bill OF
sale because no record thereof was
made in the County Auditor s office.
The court found that Ramberg. LanS-
dale and Chambers were subsequent
creditors in good faith and had pre-
ferred claims. that the bankruptcy
court had not assumed jurisdiction
by any procedure. and therefore the
Superior Court had the power to set
tie the issues presented. Mr.. Spring

demned this tax. They have asked
the cooperation of the local Trades
