Money should be spent in the locality in which it is made, otherwise the growth and success of districts is impaired. The conduct of those people who buy on credit in town ard outside for cash cannot be too strongly condemned. The merâ€" chants know what they have to conâ€" tend with in outside competition and consequently mark things down . to the lowest possible prices, so that if they cannot obtain cash or its equivâ€" alent in value, they suffet loss. â€" Be loyal to your own district.

Consents to Waive Eight of Sending Ships Through the Dardanelles During the Present War Only. London, Aug. 4.â€"In order to avoid complications which might have the effect of extending the area of war Russia has made a partial concession to Great Britain in connection with the Dardanelles question. Replying to British representations regarding the closure of the Dardanelles to vesâ€" sels of the volunteer fieet intended for warlike uses as well as warahips, Count Benckendorf, the Russian Ambassador to Great Britain, it is learned, has advised Foreign Secreâ€" tary Lansdowne that his Governâ€" ment consents to waive the right to send ships through the straits durâ€" ing the present war, but at the same time Russia makes no concession in relation to the general principal inâ€" volved and reserves to hersolf the right to take such action as . she deems proper when the war with Japan terminates. The British Govâ€" ernment would like a complete setâ€" tlement of the principle, but Russia does not propose to negotiate on this subject if avoidable while the war is in progress. _ A â€" brilliantly _ costumed . group watched the approach of the expediâ€" tion from the roof of one of the structures on Potala Mountain, y 9tm Lap o o . t B wA .

S., Aug. 8.â€"The town of Windsor was the scene of a coldâ€" blooded murder on Saturday night, when Eddic Dill, a young man of 18 years, was stabbed to death by Wilâ€" liam Haley. 20 _ Both were residents of Martoch, a few miles distant from Windsor. Dill and a numerous party, including his younger brother, had been spending the evening in the town and â€" on starting for home about 11 o‘clock they were joined by Haley, who was also on his way home. They stopped to do a little shopping and during the short time they were together Haley was the ‘butt of a good deal of joking on the part of Dill‘s youngâ€" er brother, which he resented. Dill championed his brother‘s cause and a row ensued, during which Haâ€" ley drew a knife from his pocket, deâ€" liberately opened it and stabbed Dill over the heart, the blow penetrating that organ. The stricken youth stagâ€" gered a few paces and fell, dying in two or three minutes. Haley did not stop to sce the reâ€" sult, but kept on, and when arrested was three miles from the scene.

To make a feature of the face on the canvass more prominent, the artist just deepens the shadows about it. This is what Heine meant by saying, ‘‘The nightingale dnp‘nweob: est with its breast against a thorn;‘"‘ what Scneca meant by saying. *‘The very gods look down and smile with approval upon & gog_ man struggl= ing _ with adversity; what _ Paul means when he tells us, ‘"‘Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth;‘"‘ what any man who will write a philosophy of history must mean as he points to Greece, Switzerland, and . Scotland, where men have wrested a scanty sustenance from a stubborn soil, as the homes of great, famous men and liberty. Every individuat who has to wrestle in the dark with the angel of life, alone, for his blessing,â€" is the gainer, though, as in the ‘case of Jacob, there may be a wrench given to the very bones. It should never be lost sight of that the chicft end of man here on this earth is not happiâ€" ness, but character.
