PATHETIC YET LUDICROUS. A Deaf awid Dumb Father'a Pnntaav ment of a Hod Hoy. I witnessed something the other day that miide me feci bud. and ut the same time there was a laughable phase to the affair," remarked a Denver resilient. "Out a few doors from where I live a deaf and dumb couple have been living for several years, aud seem to Bet along with their neighbors better than any of us. The husband has good employment mid the wife Is a frugal and prudent woman; so, taking everything into consideration, they have gotten quite a nice little home for themselves and some mouey ahead. But they have one thing that is not a credit to them, and that thing Is In the shape of a great, big, overgrown boy. that Is one of the meanest evidences of Immunity on earth. Some day. If he is not checked, the Imnjrmuu will get him, but that has nothing to do with the story. "I w.is pnasiug by the house yesterday trorning, aud I noticed that the old man was angry at the boy. Now. the latter can talk and hear ns well as anybody, and rather seems to enjoy getting a crowd of boys together und then curslug the old man, just so the other boys will laugh. This time, however, the old man was mad, aud did not propose to allow his wayward boy to have hla own way. ' Just as I was passing he motioned me to stop, mid then, pulling his hand from behind him, brought to light what shone out in grand style as a newly purchased rawhide. Then I knew there was going to be some fun. and 1 walked Inside the yard. Well, sir, he just grabbed that boy, nearly ns large as he was, jerked him into a half upright position, and then began laying on the leather. The boy began to swear aud use language that would shock any neighborhood, but, of course, the father did not hear a word of it. "The father quit a second and then, coming over to where I was standing, took out his pencil and paper, aud asked me in a line or two to tell lilm what the son said. I wrote out the brutal swear words just as I heard thein. He read -the words as I wrote them down, and then, fairly shaking with rage, returned to the boy and began anew the work. It was fully ten minutes before that boy was conquered, but when he did give in he was the most penitent fellow you ever saw. Before the old man had finished half of the neighborhod wns present, anil congratulated him on taking the boy in hand. Here is what he wrote on a slip of paper wheu they suggested thanks to him: ' I know he is a -bad boy, but the Jjard has made me without hearing, so I cannot know these things like you can. I got a letter from a neighbor woman this morning saying that ho said bad words nbont his mother. That Is whn; I punished him for. Please tell me when you hear him say bad words, and help me to make a man of him.' "Denver Times.

He has bnilt a great funeral pyre on his property at Oakland, Cal., in the form of a culie, nearly ten feet each way, made of bowlders set in cement. On the top of this body will be placed and burned, and the ashes will then be flung to all points of the compass, if the provisions of his will are carried ont.

To Aboltah Protection in the United Stntea aa a Means of Throttline tlic Continues Would lie Fatal to Many American lnduatrica.

Under the caption, Tin' tlrowth of Monopoly In Knslish Industry," H. W. Macrosty, in the '('oiilcniiairary Heview," furnishes no.no Interesting information respecting trusts iu tJrent Hritnln which deserves to lie attentively studied by those misguided writers who assume that protection Is responsible for the movement in the direction of industrial combination so prevalent in this country at present. Mr. Mncroaty furnishes abundant, evidence that the phenomena Is not confined to protective countries, and shows that the movement Is as farreaching in free tritde Kniilaud as in the United States. KpoiikliiR of the growth of combinations iu the United Kingdom he says: ''Single amalgamations, while not entirely excluding competition, control the screw, cotton, thread, suit, alkali and India rubber tire industries, in other cases n formal agreement of masters Uses prices; thus, in the hollow ware trade (metal utensils) prices arc arranged by an informal ring of a dozen ftirmlnghum tlrms. Similarly there Is no open market In antimony, nickel, mercury, lead pipes, lish supply and petroleum.

The American punishment for such puiilic enemies is public contempt, as lasting as it is sincere, as earnest in spirit as it Is humorously temperate In expression. No tine could be as heavy, no Imprisonment could he as enduring. -New York Commercial Advertiser. ICthvard Atkinson and his crowd are

trying tu hide behind the Senate documents as a defense for their treasonaide utterances. They Imply that because Certain things were read, or said, or permitted to go in the ilecord they are all right. That Is begtiing the question. Some of the rankest treason ever heard Iu this country has liei-n uttered on (lie tloor of Congress. That was so lit lKfiti V.1 as well as iu ISW-IW. Itochester Democrat and Chronicle.

A SPECTACLE FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

try have just consolidated their interests into one large combination. In the engineering trades twenty-four linns have a subscribed capital of 14,-2-IT,u00. In 1807 Armstrong & Co. absorlied Wultworth & Co., raising their capital to 4.210,000 in the process. Ylckers & Co, the armor plate manufacturers, are another example of a

very large amalgamation. In the spring of 1807 they bought up the Naval Construction aud Armament Company, and later they acquired the Maxiiu-Nordenfeldt Guns and Ammunition Co. Now they boast of being the only firm caiable of turning out

a battle ship complete iu every respect.

The most noteworthy examples of combination, however, are to he found

In the Birmingham staple trade and

in the textile industries." This condensation Is supplemented bv extended details showing that

slowly but surely the British organizer Is bringing every possible pan of

money making within the Belt', of his

operations, and that England Is rap

idly becoming the homo of trusts. Mere is his summing up: "We thus see in British industry a

steady movement toward combination aud monopoly, it movement which is

tho natural outcome of competition.

and therefore not capable of being pre

vented or undone by law." The keen critic will not fall to note that this admission Is fatal to the as

sumption that protection is responsi

ble for the creation of trusts. If trusts

are the natural outcome of competition.

as Mr. Mucrosty avers, then the evil

cannot be attributed to a policy which

bus the effect of restraining tho area of competition. We may add that this view, that competition is responsible for combinations, has found expression in the works of such distinguished freetraders as J. Tliorold ltogcrs, aud that it Is only the "feather-weight" econ

omists, lighting under the Cobden ban

ner in this country, who have sought to fasten the responsibility for the evil on protection. Not only is protection not responsible for the trust evil, but it may be

claimed that it offers the only remedy

for its suppression. We venture to say thut no protectionist will assent to the proposition that combination is "not capable of being prevented or undone by law," but It is natural enough for a free-trader to assume that the evil is Irremediable, except by a resort to socialism, as Mr. Macrosty does In ids concluding sentence, la which he says: "Nevertheless, with the weapon of state control in hand, combination may be welcomed, nud if control proves Insufficient, stale purchase and public administration remain behind." Protectionists, accustomed ns they are to the idea of regulation, will not hesitate to resort to tho most drastic measures if they find It necessary to do so In order to stamp mt the evil. By carefully limiting the area f compclillou to their own country the statesmen of it protective nation can control trusts, but tiiat will be found an Impossible achievement in n free trade country, for the simple reason Hint the attempt to prohibit combination iu a land with wide-open trade doors will prove destructive to domestic Industry.

Householders and others who ure arranging for spring reuovutiug will soon notice that all the better class of wall papers are now being made without ceilings, nud that ceilings are being tinted. Any person who now buys paper aud papers his house, If he wishes to be up with the times, should at least Hut the ceilings, iu such tinting there is only one durable material that he can secure, and that is Alalia, tine, the uneiiualed wall coaling. What are known as kulsomiues are especially bad for ceilings, as ihe stuffVales aud falls off. In fact, the word "kalsotuiue" has become so unpopular, on account of the goods belug only temporary, that the later manufacturers of "alsoiiiiut-s are giving their material some arbitrary name uud not calling It a kalsoiulue. Kvery one of the strong points In regardtoAlabastine (hut has been proved to be such by the test of twenty years, is picked up by every new manufacturer of ordinary kulsomitic and claimed for his goods. These claims, on the face of them, are ridiculous, but It will take a householder who uses these gootis perhaps two or three years to tlud out thut he lias gotten nothing but a temporary kalsouiine; and by that time the particular manufacturer may be out of the market. Alanastiue is a rock-base cement, which sets, and hardens with age. It is the only n alerlal that can make the claim of durability and substantiate it by aetuul time tests. This phenomenal wall coating Is adapted to all grades, from the most elaborate freehand loutlcllug with a iiuti lilue to the cheapest plain tinting und whlletiiug, und requires only cold water to mix It for use. It never needs takiug off to renew, hustles out house pests, sweetens apartments, and tills cracks. Paint dealers furnish card ot twelve beautiful Huts.

Inioortant to Knriurs. There is a proposition made in tho advertising columns of this paper by the John M Stnythe Co. of Chicago, to furnish Standard and Sisal Binder Twine direct to farmers at e'ght cents a pound. This means a saving of thousands of dollars to the farmers of the West who use a great deal of binder twine during the harvesting season. As there is a time limit t tho offer, farmers should sea l iu tlieir orders lieforo June 1, when tho limit expires and after which it is not certain orders can be filled at this price. Thi. proposition o.' the John M. Stnythe Company for money saving is well worth considering. The firm Is certainly one of the most extensive as well as most re liable in tho United States.

POISONED CIGARS A. Ftaimii KaulUh Murder M jatery in Which They Were Uaed. The famous Iiotkln and the more rerent Cornish poisoning cases recall Hugland's equally fatuous mystery of twenty-four years ago. Two uleinbelb of a great club ill Manchester, !v.-tli ateu of position and keen politicians, each received, apparently ns a New Year's gift, small boxes containing a few cigars of the very highest quality apparently. Both were taken fearfully 111 after smoking, and one of them subsequently died. The cigars were found to be loaded wttb poison, and it wits said that the tuau who recovered only did so because lie used a cigar holder. The facts were at first hushed up, because, as was said, the suspected sender, whose motive was revenge on account of a lady, was a man of wealth aud power. Hut tills subject was cleared, and the mystery was deepened by the following circumstances: A rich Manchester merchant, traveling one day In a railway car about the time of the Incident related, got Into conversation with a most agreeably and highly cultivated stranger, who filially offered his cigar case. The Manchester man was found at Leeds almost uncouueious, and the only uccupaut of the carriage. He grasped In one of Ills convulsed hands the cigar lie had been smoking, and alter analysis showed It to be identical with the others. He recovered, but the Ftrauger was never discovered
