MUNSEY ANNOUNCES
HIS ENGAGEMENT.
After Twelve Years of Wooins Well
Known Publisher is to Wed.

Philadelphia, Aug. 14.-~After twelve
years of the most persistent weoing,
society and business circles here have
received information that Frank a.
Munsey, the publisher, at last has been
successful and that his engagement TO
Miss Lota Robinson of Baltimore Will
soon be announced. Mr. Munsey is
about 81 years of age, and the wolna n
whom he has picked as his bride and
for whom he has much such persist
ent fight is about % years his Junior.
Mr.. Munsey first met Miss Robinson,
who is one of the bellies of Baltim ore,
about II years ago. She was still a
bud and beautiful one, just rounding
into woma nhood. She Immediately
captured the heart of the publisher,
who was thought to be a confirmed
bachelor. Then began a chase which
reached almost around the world, Mr..
Munsey being the chaser and Miss
Robinson thu chased.
Wherever Miss Robinson was, there
also was Mr.. Munsey. TIE chase went
from Baltimore to Europe and even n
far off China and return and then beck
to Europe several times. Tt is unde--

THE GLITTERING WEST
Not So Much Better Than Home, Wa
terbury Men Find.

The cities of the west. especially
Detroit have been sort of magnetic
for the expert mechanics and machin-
lists of this city, and as a result, a.
large number o fthem have left Wa
terbury to work there. Waterbury, the
home of brass industries, formerly had
the reputation of employing more skill
ed mechanics than any city of its size
in the country. But it seems apparent
that in a few years Waterbury will
no longer enjoy such a privilege, main
1y through the fact that these men are
being replaced by boys, scarcely old
enough to have acquired a grammar
school education, and by women, con-
sequently when the latter can be en-
ployed at a. much lower price than ex-
perienced men, there is a change.
Reports have been received in this
city from men who have gone to the
west about the prosperity and induce
ments that the cities in that part of
the country offer to a man who has a.
trade. But this prosperity has only
favored a few of Waterbury's former
residents, and, according to one, init
mate1y familiar with the real state of
affairs in Detroit, where so many men
have sought employment. it would be
better for those who contemplate go
ing away to think twice before 1eav-
ing a city. where they are known, to
go amongst strangers. Perhaps nine
out of ten that go meet with failure,
but instead of returning home to try
the old job, they prefer to stay where
they are unknown and face the music.
The alluring inducements that Detroit
and other cities offer is not what they
are described to be, and no one realizes
it more than those who were tempted
to leave their home city and met with
everything but success.-Waterbur
Democrat.

Opinions of Neiqhbors.

NeiShbors are never sufficiently sat
lstied with other peoples affairs to
keep still about them. As long as
there is anything to observe and com
ment on they will observe and com
ment, and not always kindly. 1t is the
way of neighbors the world over They
are made SO and cannot help it. It
makes no difference what the individ-
uafss course of conduct, the peopls
about him will have their say. IL
makes no difference what he does or
does not do. he will not escape from
the inquisitive eye or the nimb1s
tongue Of his neighbor. Always he is
an object of interest to that person.
This being the case, it is never
worth while to order ones conduct
with especial view to pleasing the
neighbors and SO causing them to
cease their critical watchfulness. The
better way is for each individual to
regulate his affairs according to his
own best judgment and concern him
self not a all with what people say
SO long as he retains his own self-re-
spect. The stability of society. Of
course, depends upon the harmonious
relations to each other of the peopIs
who compose it, and no man can live
to himself alone, regardless of others.
But having once adjusted himself to
the environment and to the social
limitations, and having adopted a
proper moral code and rule of non
interference with others. he will find
peace and serenity lie in pursuing his
own course in calm Indifference to
neighbors' comments.-Cincinnat En-

ferred conciliation boards or an ar
bitrator.
