DEATH AT SOUTH LOWELL- Pneumonia Claim Another Victim in the I'erxon of Mr. Latta. Mr. Latta, who for several monihs has carried the mail betv.een this city and South Lowell and who, during the time he has been in the service has been ninch liked by all with whom he has been associated, died last night of pneu monia after a few days' illness. He had been suffering with a cold the past week, but did not think it necessary to call in a doctor until Sunday. The disease rapidly developed and he continued to grow worse from that time. Mr. Latta was a man of about 4-5 and leaves a family at South Lowell. Many in this city who knew him will regret to learn of his death. Keep Up With the Timet, don't cling to the imperfect thing3.

We expect a Perfect Rush at this Feast Bargain. And why not ? For surely first-class merchandise was never offered at these figures. Head carefully, and if you think we are joking, make a test case of following : X ICS I Other Worlds, Ours and Man I'rom the Standpoint of 1 volution. Are there other worlds? Tho answer must be yes. The deductions of science demand it unmistakably. It may be dif ficult or impossible to determine just what particular orbs arc habitable or in habited or to what plane their animated structures may have advanced in the creative scale, but as the universe eter nally was, since this succession of world development and decadence has been in eternal operation, the conclusion is irre sistible that there never has been a time there was not an infinity of spheres in habited. Aro we then to conclude that every orb in the skies is the abode of life? Certainly not; nor can we conclude that they are all habitable, for that mat ter. We must disabu.se our minds of the idea that the universe is solely run to accommodate our little earth and its fighting biped known a-i man that the universe is simply a stage on which he may sicken the gods with his bombastic exploits. Man, wherever ho presents himself, must be simply a response to conditions that invite him, and he is an amazingly long time in responding. Nothing is clearer in mathematics than is this fact in anthropology. Long after the earth's crust was cool, after ages of aqueous and igiic-oi3 warfare, when vegetation was exuberant and huge animals dis ported themselves in the great marshes and lagoons, no man was present. Volcanic Niagaras of molten matter shot from the earth's interior, painting j in awful grandeur the nocturnal skies with reflected conflagrations, the moun tains commenced to wrinkle, and still there was no man. The cooling contin ued, the crust thickened, cataclysms ground the rock into drift; the terrors of the convulsive storms grew wider and wider apart, and still there was no hu manity to grace the scene. Huge and uncouth life was that, savage and coarse; hoarse cries of savagery, and night was hideous with sanguinary uproar, but no mammalia y?t stood erect. From some other world man may have gazed at the earth through his glass and speculate as we do when we gaze on Mars, and thus, while hundreds of gen erations may have observed, they looked on a sphere where the culmination of the creative proce.-s in human evolution had not yet taken place. But man finally came. lie stood up, but he was a picture. Behold yet his congeneric brethren in Africa and parts of Asia suspicious be-jls, suspicious hands! Jaw, face. eye?, brain, general contour, all thesv were lessons, but ig norance, if not altogether bliss, had to be eliminated, as slowly through the ages did he journey up. His crude brain developed with his ceaseless planning to circumvent uis lower congeners strug gling for existence. Organ after organ was developed, as new impressions forced themselves, until finally he began to have a vague idea of a most rustic pro priety and a dim conception of a crude respectability. It is a question whether you will find your size in stock or not, at the prices we shall offer. Or, in other words, they will be sold before you see them, if you don't respond quickly.

Ltn man's genesis, ua otn r wor.-Is his career must be analogous to this. If, then, we would know aught of m.iu el-ewhere we must be able to trace his pedigree here. Knowing the slow stngvs involved in terrestrial development as regards the evolutions of the spheres, we may know approximately at hast its animal development. But true knowledge, like true charitv, must begin at home. This world is the key with which we must unlock the problems of th :vllar world. Pitts burg Dispatch.
