Close upon the announcement of the incorporation at Trenton, N. J., of what is to be known as the Federal Steel Company, a gigantic trust to which has been granted privileges more swooping and extensive than over before bestowed upon any similar concern in the country, comes the announcement of the forma tion of a silvorwaro combination of fifteen of the largest American estab lishments that manufacture, it is said, at least three-fourths of the silverware used in the United States; and following immediately upon that is the news of the organization of the American Thread Trust, with a capital of SI 8,000,000, which, it is announced, will control practically the entire cottonthread in dustry of the country, except the Ameri can branches of the Coates Company. These combinations, it will be noticed, seek New Jersey soil in order to secure legal name and entity, owing, it is said, to the few restrictions and the very light taxation to which they are subject ed there. Tlio silverware trust is organ ized with a capital of 330,000,000. The steel trust, so long in formation, but which at last has gotten Into shape, is variously reported of, but by some it is said that its capital stock is set at 3200,000,000. According to recent state ments given to the public, the aim of the company will be to absorb every thing It may deem needful to Its ends, that, as said, "it may enter all profitable fields of industry, from building ships to controlling the coal trado," anthracite as well as bituminous. Significantly, it is said, in connection, that the more special features of the combination have been "under consid oration for a long time, but it has been difficult to devise a method of conduct ing the business contemplated without antagonizing legislation." In plain words, it now fancios that it has gotten everything into such shape that with safety, or without real risk, it can beat the law. Pay Push and Keep Out of Debt. There is ono sure way always to keep squaro witli the world, says an ex change, and that is never to go in debt. This proposition may seem absurd in the very simpleness, and contains a great truth. It is common to say the world's business transactions cannot be carried on without colossal credit operations. If you consider a moment you will per ceive that the world's greatest and most far-reaching commercial operations are conduetod on a strictly cash basis. For instance, when you go to the postoftlcc to buy two cents' worth or a dollar's wortli of stamps, do you ask Uncle Sam's agent to charge them and then send the bill to you? Docs the government ever do a credit business on postage stamps? Again, when you enter a railroad ollico to buy a tieket to the next town, do you tell the agent to give you a ticket j and let you ride on it and you will pay j him boxt week or next month or next year? When you travel to Europe, do you engage your steamer passage on credit and tell the company you will pay next year? Or when a man ships a car load of freight across the country dors the railway company transport the freight on credit and tell him lie may pay six mouths after date? No, indeed, not any of these things. Yet the postofßco stamp transactions, and the freight and passenger carrying industry Involve the largest financial operation in the business world in every land. If a cash business is possible in these greatest of ail financial transac tions, it Is possible to every private individual in every country and at all times. It Is becoming more apparent every day that newspaper advertising will be in a short while the only rocognizcd method employed by reputable business people to place their names and wares before the public. The principal reason for the legitimate merchant boycotting the old-style circular and handbill adver tislng is that every fraud and Iloecer is a devoteo of the dodger. As a rule, this latter class shuns the newspapers; their business will not stand gonuino publicity. As a result, tho honorable dealer is dropping the handbill advertising, so as not to bo confounded with humbugs, and is spending his advertising money in newspapers—the only place advertising pays- Winter Is coming on rapidly, and stiil Birvanton is without protection from fire. It Is a sad commentary upon the intelligence of Freeland's council if it cannot devise some way of giving the Hill it* just dues. That portion was annexed almost solely for the purpose of procuring fire protection, but It scorns its object Is as far off today as if it had remained In Foster township. "ALL THE WHILE." We may make new homes In coun tries Far across the azure sea, And the paths that know our foot steps In a fairer land may be; But though scenes of rarer beauty y May our wistful eyes beguile—• There'll be no home like the old home That we cherish all the while! As we wander through the wide world; Seeking fortune, friends, and fame, Many hands will reach to grasp ours. Many lips will speak our name; i But of all the kindly faces j That for us will wear a smile, There'll be no friend like the old friend, That has loved us all the while! , 'l*j| | Other hearts will learn to lovo U9, Ji Making sunshine on our way, £ j Tender links of new affections Will enchain us day by day; But as onward still we Journey, * | Growing wearier mile by mile, f There'll he no love like the old love, I That has blest us all the while. A BARBERRY HEDGE. The front porch of the Loyd farm house faced the east. Therefore, at three o'clock on a Sunday afternoon In July, it lay In the cool shadow ot the great white house. Seated among the gray cushions of the hammock was Patty Loyd, the only child and the heiress of the broad acres. Patty waa a pretty dimpled blonde of twenty. In a soft, white lawn, with her chestnut [hair curling away from her low brow, she made a charming picture, j The other occupant of the porch waa John Manchester, the son of Richard Manchester, whose well-tilled fields Joined Loyd farm. He was tall, stal wart and dark, while his thoughtful face betokened a mind alert and cul tured. 1 The air was heavy with the scent of the heliotrope growing on a flower stand at John's right. The beds ot geraniums and nasturtiums madq glowing bits of color on the velvety, green sward. In the branches of a great apple-tree a mother robin chirp ed drowsily to her brood. All waa peaceful and free from discord. . But there was a serpent even la Eden. t'As Seth Loyd, the father of Patty, came strolling around tha house, coatless and his face flushed with the heat, he bore little resemb lance to the trudltlonal tempter of our common mother. Still, his entranoq upon the scene was almost as fatal to peace and harmony. Mr. Loyd sat down upon the steps, fanning himself with his straw hat. "Hew! Hot weather this, John." "Yes, it's good for corn," John re plied, affably. He did not particularly, enjoy the society of Mr. Loyd. hut he was Patty's father. "Yes, but somehow it don't 6eem to bring on that air piece of yourn over there," pointing off to the north, where a corn-field belonging to the Manches ters was in sight. "Poor lay for crop, that. What ails it? You progressive farmers don't seem to have very good crops after all your talk." The hot blood colored John's cheeks. Mr. Loyd was always sneering at his and his father's farming. Perhaps it would he as well to speak out concern ing the corn. In the young man's vexation he forgot that this disagree able neighbor was the father of the pretty girl opposite. "Oh." he said, defiantly, "that's plain enough. As long as that hedge of yours stands there we can't expect much of crops in the field next to it. Your own suffer some, but the wind favors you." Eh, what's that? What do you mean?" and the old man sat bolt up right and glared at John. "It must be your college learnin' has gone to your head." This thrust did not quiet John. His attendance upon the state Agricultural College had before been ridiculed by Mr. Loyd. "I don't think it has. It may have opened my eyes to the cause of what you are pleased to call our failures. You may not know, sir, that research has proven that the pollen of the bar berry-hush is hurtful to many growing things. Professor Lutz touched on tho subject while I was at college, and I have this summer corresponded with him about this very hedge. He as sures me that it is a damage to my father's farm, and could be so proved in court. "Botanists claim that this variety of the barberry, the Berberida cae vulgaris, is " Here a strange noise Interrupted him. It was a cross between a snort and a growl. Only astonishment had kept Seth Loyd quiet thus fur. The Latin words, however, restored his power of speech. He sprang to his feet with remarkable agility, consider ing his slxty-flve years. "You fool!" he shouted. "You blamed idiot! You never had any more brains than your father, and that air schoolln' has spiled 'em. It is a lie, every word of it," John, too, arose. Before he could speak Patty's soft voice recalled him to himself. "Oh. papa, how can you, and on Sun day, too! He don't mean it, John, ] know he don't." John hesitated. Yes, it was—well, injudicious to say the least, to angei Patty's father. He bit his lips and turned half apologetically to the old man. but the mischief was done. "You keep still, miss," to Patty. "As for you, young man, you walk. Don't you never put foot on my farm ag'in Hedge hurt your corn! That hedgt has always been an eyesore to your fa j thor. I'll defend It, you scoundrel. Yes, sir, defend It with the last cent of my money and the last drop of my blood." j It was useless to attempt to reason with him. His rage increased. John , was obliged to obey him and depart He humbly asked Patty's pardon, and ' received assurance of her continued friendship, even while her father was ordering him never to speak to her ugain. John strode out of the gate and down the road, and Patty, her blue eyes overflowing with tears, took refuge in her own room, j Seth Loyd strode into the cool, quaint, old-fashioned sitting-room, where his wife was indulging in her Sunday afternoon nap. Mrs. Loyd was a meek little woman, who always managed to fan the flame of her hus band's anger by her ill-timed efforts to extinguish it. When his story was told, she said, tearfully: "Oh, Seth, I Jest wouldn't. Like as not, the Manchesters will go to law, and how it would- sound for folks to say you was arrested." This only made matters worse. Mr. Loyd brought his hands together with a resounding slap, and shouted: "I wish they'd try it. I'll show Dick Manchester who's got the must money, him or me!" "Oh, father, don't talk so," and Mrs. Loyd wiped a tear from her cheek. "I 'most know Patty likes John, and 1 wouldn't have our girl's heart hurt for all the hedges in the country." This remark was the one thing need ed to raise the passion of Seth Loyd to white heat. Notwithstanding his long trusteeship in the little church near by, he swore, with an awful oath, that Patty should have nothing to do with the Manchesters. As for John, he also acted snwisely. He went straight home, and finding his father lying under the great walnut trees which shaded the lawn, he told him the whole story. Richard Manchester was a much younger man than his neighbor. John was an only child, and as the boy had been motherless since his birth, there was little his father had denied him. But as he listened, the face of the elder man grew hard and stern. This was not the first trouble between Seth Loyd and himself. Manchester's more pro gressive ways of farming had always been ridiculed by the old man, and more especially had this been the case In the last few years since these very ways had begun to bring in large re turns. The hedge had already been a source of dispute, us it took the place of a line fence, and had, when small, often been passed over and trodden on by Manchester's cattle. "I think I've stood enough from Seth Loyd," Mr. Manchester, senior, said, firmly. "I believe I'll test the matter of the hedge in the courts, although I am opposed, on general principles, to lawlng. You kept Professor Lutz's letters, didn't you, John?" "Yes, sir, but " "But what?" the father asked, im patiently. "I hope old Loyd did not frighten you?" "I don't think I am afraid," John an- Bwored, smiling a little. "But there's Patty." "Patty? Oh, yes, I see. Well, John, I'll go a little slow for your sake, but Seth Loyd will never overlook what happened to-day." Time proved the truth of Richard Manchester's words. Seth Loyd let no opportunity of annoying his neighbor go unimproved. Several times hot words passed between the two men. John and Patty met at church and in various social ways. There was little chance for conversation, and John determined to see the girl alone and come to a definite understanding with her. Fortune soon fuvored him. One sunny afternoon he was drilling wheat. As he turned his team he caught a glimpse of a trim little figure in dark blue strolling leisurely along the road only a few rods from him. John tied his horse to a convenient tree, hurried across the field, leaped over the fence, and stood leaning against the trunk of a beech when Patty approached. She started, but the look of Joy in her eyes did not escape John's notice. "Come. Patty, and sit down here," he said, imperatively. "I must talk to you, and there's no telling when I can see you again." Patty obeyed unquestldnlngly, and he took his place at her side. The sunlight peered down at them through the screen of silver-green leaves, bring ing out glints of brightness in Patty's hair, and In the goldenrod In her lap, and a squirrel paused to eye them cur iously; but they heeded none of these. There, once more, the story of love was told, the story each retelling of which Is the crown of some life. "Yes, I love you, John," Patty said, her cheeks aglow, "but papa will never, never consent, and I dare not oppose him." They talked for a long time. John wished to go straight to Seth Loyd and tell him of the engagement, but Patty would not consent. "We must wait," she said. "Any more trouble would break mamma's heart. I don't know bow it will come out, but, John, I will always be true to you." With this John was obliged to be content. Patty bade him a tearful farewell and went on her way. He sighed as he went back across the field. Surely it was hard that two young lives should be overshadowed by—yes, by a barberry hedge. John smiled and threw back his shoulders proudly. He would wait patiently for a time, but in the end Patty should be his wife. The autumn wore away, and still the .trouble about the hedge increased. |vfr. Loyd was planning to set another barberry hedge between his farm and Manchester's. When Richard Man chester learned this he consulted t lawyer, and the trouble was farthei from a peaceful settlement than ever On a frosty morning late In Novem ber Mr. Loyd started for the corn | field, which lay at the extreme baci , part of his large farm. He was no; I feeling well, so he hitched a horse ti [ his cart and drove back along the lam until he reached the field where tb huskers were busy. Hitching tin horse to the fence, he went forward t< Inspect the work. When Seth Loyd drove back alon| the lane he was in a bad humor. Then was no use in closing his eyes to thi fact—his farm was not doing as wel as when he was able to personally givi It his attention. "Everything is going to ruin," hi muttered, shivering as the raw wim smote his face. "If I Jest had a son Not but Patty's a girl any man miglr j be proud of, but a boy would look aftei | things for me. There, I believe thi j top's blowed plumb oft of that stack o clover-seed. I told Collins it wasn', I right, but you never see a hired mai j you can tell anything these days." j He drove his horse through the opet j gate and across the field in the direc i tion of the stack. The young horsi j threw up her head impatiently at be j lng turned aside from her way to thi 1 barn. | # This field was the one separated fron ! the Manchester farm by the disputec ! hedge. Seth Loyd glanced com placently at the neatly trimmed shrubs "Looks pretty well In spite of Did Manchester's grumbling. I'll show I him—hey, there, Topsy! Whoai , Whoa, 1 say!" ! A flock of his own turkeys had taket I refuge under the barberry hedge. Th( patriarch of the flock, a huge bronzi gobbler, advanced in front of the horse j his wings spread and his shrill voici j raised. j Topsy shied. The angry voice of hei master and the jerk of the lines addei |to her excitement. A moment latei she was running wildly across the field with Seth Loyd vainly pulling at thi reins and shouting for help. The old man was sorely frightened Directly at the foot of the hill whlcl ; Topsy was descending at breakneel speed was a narrow gully in whicl stones and refuse had been thrown There the cart would be overturned j Certain death awaited him unless thi horse was stopped. She was stopped. A man leapet over the hedge, strong hands caugh i Topsy's bits, and John Manchester'i 1 voice bade Mr. Loyd dismount. He did so, catching his foot and fall I ing headlong. By the time he had re gained his feet the men who had beei j working in the field with John hac ' reached the spot. One of these helt the horse by the head, the rest weri gathered about a figure which laj prone upon the ground, j "Eh, what's the matter?" Mr. Loyc asked, making his way forward. ! "That brute of a horse has about killed John," one of the men said | "His arm is broken, besides that hurt on his head, and I don't know what else." J John Manchester opened his eyes ' and supported by one of his cornpan | ions, struggled to a sitting posture Although suffering severe pain, hi i smiled faintly when he met the guzi I of Seth Loyd. I "Hope you'll excuse my trespassing,' he said, In a hoarse voice. "I really , forgot under the excitement of thi ! moment that you had forbidden my coming on your premises." The words died away on his lips, ant he sank back, pale and speechless. Seth j Loyd's wrinkled face worked plteously ! as he turned to the group of men. J "He hain't dead, Is he? 'Cause if hi is, 'twas me and the barberry hedgi that killed him." It was late the next morning whet John Manchester woke from a troubled i sleep. The doctor hud pronounced bis injuries serious, but not dangerous Some one was sitting close by his bed and he slowly turned his aching head j to see who It was. j "How are you feeling, dear?" and Patty bent over the pillow, j "You here, Patty! Oh, my darling what does it mean?" | "Hush, you are not to talk. Papa senl me here to help take care of you. It'i all right, John. He, he said," and thi blushing face dropped low, "that you must get well enough for a wedding ! on Christmas. That isn't all. See, | John," and she darted to the window J and raised the shade, i The barberry hedge was in plaic < sight. John saw the teams and hired men of Mr. Loyd hard at work pulling up the shrubs by the roots. "Papa said to tell you and your fath er that the barberry hedge and the trouble It made were things of the i past," Patty said, slipping her soft I hand into that of her lover. JUPUIIOMC Imitation. j The Japanese are almost universally condemned by writers for the imita tion practiced by them of late years i of western literature, art, science and | invention. And yet this imitation | seems natural and right. Imagine, 11 possible, the nation of Japan leaping j across the civilization of hundreds ol | years in half a century. Think of hei emerging from the darkness of the middle ages and standing suddenly forth in the light of the nineteenth | century. Would It not have been ; worse than madness for her to have [ said, "This new civilization is bettct than ours, yet we will not imitate it , We will retain eur originality, and per haps in ages to come wo shall reach the enlightened state now enjoyed by the rest of the world." But fortunately the Japanese did nol say this, but gave themselves up to the acquisition of the wonderful stores ol knowledge opened to them. W IK mis M We Are to Occupy Bahia Honda and Jucaro at Once. WORK OF COAIMISSION General Blanco Claims He Was Forced to Demand Duties on Provisions. Our GOIIIIIIIhhIUII Arranged at Havana 80 That We May Send Food lJuty Free, to Tlietie Harbor* for Cuban Soldiers and the Poor—Spau'sti Troops Will Leave Tliem Next Week. Havana, September 22—Preparations have been made by the American Evac uation Commission to take immediate possesion of the ports of Bahia Honda, west of Havana on the north coast, and Jucaro, far east on the south coast, according to an agreement made with the Spanish Commission and Captain-General Blanco. The conces sion of the ports by the Spaniards was made three days ago, when Gen. Blan co summoned an extraordinary coun cil of the Colonial Cabinet and pre sented to it the request of the Ameri cans that these ports be opened for the importation of food. The matter was kept a strict secret until to-day. Gen. Blanco, acting ac cording to his policy, favored the con cession in order to avoid future trou ble concerning the importation of food free of duty. In his note preferring the request Gen. Wade, of the American Commis sion, pointed out that the policy of the American Administration, since the beginning of the war had been to feed the reconcentrados. In addition to this the commission had received many petitions from the starving Insurgents praying that steps be taken to secure the free Importation of provisions. A long letter had also been received from Gen. Gomez, the commander-in-chief of the Insurgent army, who argued that the Spaniards, as previously cabled In detail should lie made to evacuate the port of Calbarien In order that provisions might be imported for the Cuban army. It is said by the Spaniards that Gen. Blanco was not free to act on his own responsibility in the matter of the free Importation of provisions, and that he hud to comply with the existing cus toms regulations. In the case of the Comal he offered to pay the duties on her cargo and to meet the expenses of landing it. but he could not authorize the free distribution of food with warrant from the authorities while Havana was still in possession of Spain. The solution now reached is best for both governments, pending the total evacuation of the island. The Ameri cans will now introduce food freely by way of Bahia Honda and Jucaro, and distribute it under their own flag. Sagafttit SUVA lloltl All.
