The purchase by President Loubet, of a chateau and estate in southern France gives the impression that f.Uo president will retire to private lifa •when his term of office is up.

One of the most interesting be quests in the will of Spencer C. Doty, filed in the surrogate's office at White Plains, N.

The trunk is a queer old wooden affair, and will be placed in the society's rooms. The coal bill of the royal navy is $10,000,000 a year. Experiments are now making with coal which has been immersed in water. The results show that it has higher evaporative quali ties and longer endurance than coal fresh from the pit's mouth. The ex periments owe their origin to an acci dent. The experts believe that the re sult of these experiments may in volve a revolution in coaling stations abroad. Owing to the failure of the fishery catch on the coast of Norway the price of the best cod liver oil has risen enor mously. Eight gallons now cost 25 shillings. A year ago the same quanti ty could have been bought for five shil lings or less. It is stated that several London hospitals now decline to sup ply their patients with the genuine article and it is rumored that infe rior substitutes, such as shark oil, are employed. New Haven bids fair to be a hat less town because of a new Yale fad. Hundreds of students are going about without hats. The students have set the fad, but it is spreading to all classes. Recently the trolley cars were well filled with men and women riding to the shore resorts, and many of them wore no hats. Society girls go down to do their shopping bare headed, even though they swing their millinery creations by the pins. The report of the commissioner of ' internal revenue shows that during the ten months ending April 30 last 02,295,-140 pounds of oleomargarine were produced, upon which a tax of one-fourth of one cent a pound was paid, and 2,215,741 pounds produced colored in semblance of butter, upon which a tax of ten cents a pound was paid. Last, year during the same pe riod 94,302,803 pounds of oleomargar ine paid a tax. Through streets crowded with spectators the remains of S. J. Major, a millionaire merchant, of Ottawa.

The body reposed on an espe cially built car, with canopy and hang ings of silk, the coffin being open and the corpse visible to the public, in ac cordance with the will of the decedent. After the burial the car, trimmings and floral tributes were destroyed by fire, as directed in the will. How much horse meat Is consumed In Paris each year is told in a report just published by the state department from United States Consul Thornwell Haves, at Rouen. Ho says:"lt is stated at the Villejuit abbatoirs that 23,000 horses are killed annually and a' Pant.m 7.500, making a total of 30,. 800. Of this number, 10,500 are con sumed in thi' environs of Paris, leav ing a consumption of 20,000 in the city its' Ir. The average weight of each l)or:<i' is said to be 551.15 pounds.

FREDERICK E. HOPKINS Pastor Pilgrim Congregational Church, Chicago ■■■■■■ N this age of machinery, the present day shows, in divers ways, both good and evil effects of the dominance of ap paratus. Especially in the work for the poor do we notice the tendency to displace individual activity with system : atized, cut-and-dried efforts. Making on the Whole, we feigWSjj' think, not for the best. • iJoSEnI We may be behind the times, may justly be called | "moss-back," but still we cling to the belief in individual work; in man and woman going quietly about a great city, quietly, sympathetically helping wherever she and he find | work to be done. Newspaper notoriety may never be theirs thereby, no printed paragraph nor photograph announce their benevolence — which, however, need not be regretted by the toiler, and certainly will not by the toiled-with. People cannot be raised en masse, if you would uplift the whole you must uplift the individual. The personal service is full of meaning. Let the lady of leisure, instead of declaiming beautiful theories in a crowded lecture room, herself goto some overworked mother, herself care for the babies and the home, while she sends the weary woman on an outing of an hour or so in the park. It may not minister so to | one's pride or ambition, not be altogether pleasant; BUT IT WILL BE WORTH WHILE. We are told corporations have no SOUL and perhaps to the indi vidual poor an institution, even one for social service, may hazily pre sent this aspect. But deal he with one man or woman sympathizer and helper, he is bound to get in touch with something understandable, tangible. The brotherhood-of-man will have meaning to him, though it reach him not oratorically. He feels lie has a friend, some one in terested in his welfare; and a response stirs within him, a desire to jbe worthy. Nothing happens TO a man save something happen IN him. Individual charitable work has been decried; the workers in'gen eral have been accused of following blind impulse, and of yielding to loose generosity. And the accusation lias often been merited, the re proof gone home. Also, in the systematized labors there are observable | tendencies not altogether admirable. We would not be thought to undervalue the work of the social settlement or of organized charities—undeniably they have their mis sion ; but with them cumbersome machinery, over-administration, should be more carefully avoided. We have heard of a machine for making nails, a piece of perfect mechanism, but there was one drawback; it would not work. *. y ' The IVar Against Mosqtiito By L. O. HOWARD Chief Entomologist to the United States Department of Agriculture. At the present time there is probably more in telligent battle being waged against mosquitoes in $ » the United States than anywhere else in the world. The great brackish marshes of the Atlantic coast and the many inland swamps and pools have made parts of this country ideal breeding grounds ! for the mosquito; but there are 110 conditions under ft under which this pest of modern life cannot be ex §?• " 1 terminated. Mosquitoes are found not only in the larger bodies of standing water, but they breed also in horse troughs, in rain water barrels and cisterns, in 1 water collected in the hollows of old stumps, in old bottles or tin cans I thrown out upon vacant lots; in fact wherever water is stagnant for I a week or ten days. No long time ago a great plague of mosquitoes which had carried , disease about Greensborough, N. C., was declared to be due to the ' presence of dams behind the local mills, and the president of the state i board of health, who lived in the town, said that the dams must go. The mill owners appealed to the division of entomology at Washing ton, and a man was sent to Greensborough, who located the breeding place of the mosquitoes in a pool in the back yard of the president of the state board of health. A DISCARDED SHOE WILL HOLD WATER ENOUGH TO BREED MOSQUITOES ENOUGH TO | GIVE MALARIAL INFECTION TO A TOWN. The three chief weapons against the mosquito are the drainage of I swamps, where this is possible; the introduction of such voracious fish | as sticklebacks and top minnows into pools which are used for watering j live stock; and, third, the petrolizing of bogs which cannot be drained. [ To petrolize a swamp is to cover it with a film of kerosene, which kills | the larvae when they come to the surface to breathe, and also kills the female mosquito when she alights 011 the water to lay her eggs. Petrolizing, of course, is a temporary measure and needs to be frequently renewed; drainage is the main reliance for the reclamation j of land from the mosquito. - Tendencies of. T By HON.

J '1 lie great growth of trade unionism in the last HS!SSSS9 few years has taken into its body large numbers of nien u ' m werc not familiar with its principles or its vall,c > whose only one desire has been to better their condition, who have not the understanding of affairs ! to recognize the relation that trades unionism bears to general progress, and who, therefore, have narrow views as to its management, control and use. In tlie greai growth of trade unionism the men seem to have lost ! sight of the fundamental principles, which in the end must control. 1 Men catch trade unionism, speculation, combination, as they catch the measles or the mumps. Capital has caught the fever of combination until it has made over corporations and trusts. Likewise labor has caught tin fever of trade unionism, and without knowing what it means or realizing how it may be of real service to the world, has turned its power and energy in tin- direction of building up or«;:inizations.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1903. DEATH OF FREE TRADE. Rrprni'nliititr Canadian Xetvnitit ycrs null (111/ ens Hectare iu I 'm or Protection. Naturally Canada, which is a pro tection country, is deeply interested in the economic discussion now going on in Great Britain, and directly con cerned as to the ultimate result. It it worthy of mention that Representa tive Canadian newspapers and promi nent citizens of the Dominion- very heartily agree with Mr. Chamberlain and other British statesmen in the stand they have taken in favor of pro tective action. Canada knows how it is herself, for she has prospered under protection and sees that Great Britain has reached a point where free trade leaves the nation industrially helpless* before its commercial enemies, says the Troy Times. The Montreal Star publishes some interviews which indicate the feeling in the Dominion. Under the heading "The Free Trade Fetish' Is Dead" it says: "Dr. A. I.apthorn Smith, who has just re turned from attending the international medical congress at Madrid, spent besides ten days in England, during which time he was forced to the conclusion that Mr. Chamberlain was probably following, as well as leading, public opinion in his re cent speech, as It was evident to anyone that there were many millions of people in England who had ceased to believe in the free trade fetish. Vr. Smith's own observations bear out this opinion. Al ready the w hole of the agricultural classes w ere In favor of a preferential tax on for eign products, he says, and many working men are beginning to see that English manufacturers could not much longer stand the inroads of their rivals, ingoing about London he saw hundreds of beautiful shops tilled with American shoes, and it was quite difficult, indeed, to find one where English shoes were sold. "The British farmer is having a very hard time of it, what with the competition of foreign food and the frosts which for the last few years have been ruining his small fruit crops, one of the few things he had left to depend upon. This year was es pecially severe in that respect. Many were disappointed at the removal of the small tax on foreign wheat, which had no effect whatever in raising the price of bread, the quartern, or two-pound loaf, being sold for two-pence half-penny, the same as it had been for many years past." The Star also quotes Hon. Alfred B. Morine, a political leader in Newfound land, who has just returned from a visit to England, as saying that "a 6entiment bordering on protection has taken a firm hold upon a section of the British people." Newfoundland is not included in the Canadian Dominion, but the interests of that island are so closely allied with those of the main land that it is in close sympathy with the economic views of its neighbors. All these British possessions are loyal to the home government, but they realize the value of protection for themselves and others, and they wel come the indications which show that the people of England are coming to their way of thinking. PLAIN AND PRACTICAL. A Good l.pxaon for Do nioc rn I * May Be Found in the Olito Incident. The democrats, local and national, could pattern after the republicans of Ohio in one thing to their own great advantage and the benefit of the coun try, and that is the settlement of their differences within the household and a presentation to the public of a united, harmonious and enthusiastic organi zation. Really, the spectacle is in structive in party discipline and pub lic welfare, says the Indianapolis News (Ind.). While slavish submis sion is as bad a sign in a party as con tinued lack of union, it must be con ceded that if a party is to be of use it must be able to subordinate factional differences at the critical time to the general party good. No one that has observed Ohio politics, even super ficially, will accuse the republicans of that state of slavish submission or party apathy: they are wrangling al most continually. And no one for a moment supposes in spite of what took, place- at Columbus that there are no heart-burnings and differences. These exist in all their wonted fierce ness and up to the crucial moment they were manifest. But when that moment came tlicy were laid aside and never did — Two souls with but a slng'e thought. Two hearts that beat as one present a. fuller accord or finer union than these ancient, enemies who, lay in? aside everything, will battle shoul der to shoulder till the victory is won —and then turn to knifing one another as of yore. The democrats have not been able to do this these many yiars. At every small opening or hopeful chance, instead of dropping differ ences for the time—each putting into the hands of the other the decision of the ease, so to speak—they no more than begin, before there is a resurrec tion of old smarts and an opening of old wounds, and soon they are at it hammer and tongs again, disputing as to the primal right to be "the whole thing." instead of"in honor preferring one another," and so the years go by, and the democratic party has been a mere name, and as to Influence n cipher. trriiryan's protestations Ihnt he is not trying to run the democratic party become more emphatic as the signs multiply that the old-fashion.-d bourbons are fast regaining contrd of the historic organization which slipped away from their grasp in 'he demoralized and ruinous days if By denying that lie aspires to boss Ism he mitigates the sting of being de erted by ills party - Cleveland j Leader. t"'When Mr. itrvan reflect* that i the "crime of seventy-three" In effects upon liver Is being repeated by the "crime of naughty-three" in ' It* attack upon the slper kuigut and champion, he IIIIIV lie in the right temperament to retire ag-»in to his barn and interview the lln- nh lug machine. -Troy Time*. CLEAN SWEEP LOOKED FOR. Drniorrnta a* Wei', na Republicans Expect II Ik Victor) in l!) 04. It is evident, that both democrat* and republicans are looking for a big republican victory in 1!)04. This is shown, so far as regards the demo crats, by the way they put forward aspirants for their nomination. Not one of the half-do/en or dozen Cleve land newspaper boomers have said or intimated that he would have any chance of election. What they did say was that he would keep down the republican majority in the electoral college to a smaller figure than would any other democrat who could be named. This is the way also that the boomers for ParWfer, for tiormau, for Bryan and for all the rest of the democratic nomination possibili ties talk. No democrat expects to see a democratic victory in I'JO4. North, south, east and west the democratic journals talk in the same .-train. Each says his especial fa vorite would come as near election as any other democrat, could, or near er. Nobody ever before saw candi dates ii> this country in such humor wooed, says the St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. This feeling of republican invinci bility for 1004 is perhaps responsible for the prediction of Representative Slemp, of Virginia, that there pub* lieans have a good chance to carrj that state next year. "I firmly be lieve." says that congressman, "that Virginia will go for Roosevelt in 1004." While republicans in general have not been looking for gains in the south in next year's canvass, such things are possible. We have been told by democratic papers that Roose« velt is unpopular in the south, but this assertion may safely be disre garded. lie is sure to pet as large a vote in the south as any republican could, and the probability is that he can get a larger vote than any other of his party. However, the republic ans have not been counting on car rying any new southern states. They will very likely carry Maryland and Delaware, while West Virginia is sure to be republican. No democrat has claimed West Virginia for his side at any time since 1896. That state is as safely in the republican column as is Ohio or Illinois. Delaware and Maryland are pretty sure, too, to de clare for the republican ticket. No rainbow chasing southward will be engaged in by the republicans in 1904. One of the reasons for this- is that none of the southern states will be necessary for the success of the republican ticket. Several times in the past the republicans had hopes of making- big gains in the south, but always these accessions failed to ma terialize. At the present time the republicans are giving very little thought to the southern states in a political way. The south is a very interesting and important section of the country, but it has no influence in shaping the country's policies or in choosing the country's candidates. Tn fact, it is as isolated in a parti san sense as if it was in the colonial stage. No republican asks what the south wants in the way of a candi date or a policy, and the democrats also ignore it. This is not a very pleasant reflection for the south, but it is ihe truth, and it is- a truth which the south has frequently heard from both the inside and the out in recent years. Until the south as serts its independence and gets a voice in the big conventions and at the polls, nobody will take any no tice of it in a partisan sense. It would please the republicans- exceed ingly to win Virginia and several of the other southern states in 1\)04. Such a change would benefit those states- materially as well as social ly. Moreover, the winning of one or two of them next year is within the scope of possibility. But. the repub lican party can sweep the country without getting an electoral vote from any of the present solid south, ar.d consequently it will not take the south into consideration in the selec tion of its ticket or the framing of its platform. llnntin'n Onn«J Act. Mr. Hanna never showed himself more worthy of the confidence ant) respect of the republicans of the country than he did when he with drew his opposition to the formal indorsement of President Roosevelt by the Ohio state convention. So long as it seemed to he a Foraker- ITanna fight, he opposed it frankly and openly and forcefully. When, however. President Roosevelt asked personally for this indorsement, Mr. Hanna instantly withdrew his op posit inn. This was excellent, polities from every point of view, but a nar rower man of Mr. Banna's tempera ment would not have perceived it. Having set hi' face against the in dorsement, he would have persisted to the end. Mr. llanna, on the con trary, said if the president wished the indorsement, the president should have it, and this clinches the nom ination of Mi*. Roosevelt in 1904. Mr. Hanna is the only man that could have defeated Mr. Roosevelt in the convention. Detroit Free Press (Dem.). C T».l.
