One of the most interesting be
quests in the will of Spencer C. Doty,
filed in the surrogate's office at White
Plains, N. Y„ was the gift of a trunk
which was in his office to the Society

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

shillings. A year ago the same quanti

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

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

A Plea for Individual IVork
By REV. 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.

(RAI >E unionism is really in its Inst analysis, the effort
» to m(,no P°hze the labor market, in the same line as
t H the trust is the effort to monopolize production.
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.

DEATH OF FREE TRADE.

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

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
