All Details Arranged to Send 25,000 Men to China. Washington, March 2. — It is possible today to give for the first time the details of the preparations which the War department is making for an invasion of China. In case of necessity, which to military minds seems imminent, it is the intention of the government to dispatch 20,000 regulars from the United States to join a Philippine force of 5,000 men for an expedition to the Chinese empire. The troops for the Oriental service have been selected, the posts from which they will be taken are named in the plans and the proper allotment has been made among the various branches of the service. Not only has this been done by the officers who have been working out the invasion scheme, but they have perfected a plan for the distribution of the troops which will remain in the United States, so that they may be available in case of home disturbances. The scheme of invasion as at present contemplated is with the view principally of a combination of the American forces with those of other powers, but a subsidiary arrangement has been made to meet the possibility that the United States will be forced to act alone. If the situation in China demands the dispatching of American soldiers for a march to Pekin, within three weeks of the time of the call to arms there will not be a regular infantryman left within the borders of the United States, for it is the intention of the department to send its full force into the field, save only the infantrymen doing duty in the Philippines. As stated in previous dispatches, the officers of the War College have estimated that 100,000 men will be necessary to make an invading force strong enough to conduct a successful campaign against Pekin. If by an unfortunate trend of events it should become necessary that America act alone, there would be no attempt at the outset to reach the Forbidden City. Tentative plans, in case America goes alone into the fight, contemplate a joint army and navy expedition to seize one of the greater coast towns in China. This might or might not have an effect on the Chinese government, but, because of recent events, it would seem that the Chinese governments is not all-powerful in the control of its affairs, and as a consequence such a seizure might be of little avail, save possibly for indemnity purposes. RAISE PAY OF RURAL CARRIERS. Cortelyou Recommends an Increase When Routes are Adjusted. Washington, March 2.—This statement has been furnished the Associated Press tor transmission: "In the matter of rural carriers' pay, it can be authoritatively stated that there is no disposition on the part of the Postoffice department to cut rates. On the contrary, the department has strongly recommended the advisability of congressional consideration of the subject, looking to more adequate compensation. "In the recent readjustments to complete county service, the number of routes reduced in mileage has exceeded the number increased. These conditions have resulted in lowering the pay of the carriers somewhat. Until the service is completed throughout the country, the average of carriers' salaries based upon present legal allowance will naturally fluctuate from time to time as routes are increased or decreased in length. Under the so-called new rural policy of the department, out of a total of 34,938 routes installed up to February 1, but 27 had been discontinued. These discontinuances were mostly due to readjustments in order to complete service in counties." Continues Present Rates Washington, March 2. — President Roosevelt today issued a proclamation imposing the rates of duties provided by section 3 of the Dingley act upon imports from Germany in return for Germany's concession of minimum tariff rates on United States products. The articles and rate of duty named in the president's proclamation are the same as those now in force, which would have been terminated yesterday, but for the recent action of the German government in giving this country the benefit of its minimum tariff. Report on Female and Child Labor. Washington, March 1. —The house of committee on labor decided today to make a favorable report on a bill appropriating $300,000 for a compilation of full statistics by the department of Commerce and Labor on the condition of women and child workers throughout the United States. This bill grew out of the movement inaugurated by Governor Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts, for the investigation of labor conditions. Aid Sent to Famine Sufferers. Washington, March 2.—The National Red Cross today cabled to the Japanese Red Cross $5 000, making a total of $27,000 contributed by the American people and transmitted to Japan through that organization for relief of the famine sufferers. New Age IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday, March 1. Washington, March 1. — The discussion of the railroad rate question was continued in the senate today by Dolliver, who spoke in support of the Dollier-Hepburn bill. He said that the bill was intended merely to supplement the existing interstate commerce law, and contended for its validity from a constitutional point of view, predicting that government ownership of the railroads would be forced upon the country if congress did not meet the present demand for regulation. Dolliver was not questioned, and, when he concluded, the remainder of the day was devoted to the bill providing for the settlement of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians after the termination of their tribal relations. Washington, March 1. — The house today passed the army appropriation bill, also the Foraker bill providing for the marking of the graves of Confederate dead buried in the North. The discussion developed a unanimity of sentiment in favor of marking Confederate graves, and, as the bill had received favorable action by the military committee, it was brought in by Prince and passed unanimously, amid applause on both sides of the house. The army bill as passed carries something more than $69,000,000. The house agreed to a senate joint resolution, which continues the tribal government of the Five Civilized Tribes in the Indian Territory until the property of the Indians shall be disposed of. Wednesday, February 28. Washington, Feb. 28. — The details of the provisions of the army appropriation bill occupied the house of representatives throughout the day. Throughout members of the appropriation committee, headed by Chairman Tawney, were in controversy with Chairman Hull and the members of the military committee. Each contest was an effort either in the direction of reducing or restricting the amounts carried in the bill. In some cases the appropriations committee was successful, and in others the military committee. Washington, Feb. 28. — The treaty between the United States and the Dominican Republic, under which the former underlies to collect and disburse the customs revenues of the latter, was reported to the senate in executive session today by Senator Lodge. While the treaty was given a place on the senate legislative calendar by the report made today, it will not be called up until after the railroad bill has been disposed of, and even then it may go over for some time. For three hours, lacking three minutes, today, Foraker held the attention of the senate while he read a carefully prepared speech on the railroad rate question. His speech was a protest against any general legislation, on the theory that the existing Elkins law could be so extended as to make it answer all the requirements. He did not fail, however, to point out what he considered the defects of the Hepburn-Dolliver bill, and he made the declaration more than once that it would fail to remedy the evils complained of. The speech was listened to by a large attendance, both on the floor and in the galleries, and at its close the senator was warmly congratulated by a number of his colleagues. Tuesday, February 27. Washignton, Feb. 27. — The senate today agreed to vote on the statehood bill before adjournment on Friday, March 9. The proposition was made by Beveridge, and there was little difficulty in reaching an understanding. The suggestion immediately followed a speech in support of the bill by Hopkins, during the course of which Hale suggested that the territories were not prepared for statehood, and suggested that their admission be deferred. The remainder of the day was devoted to the discussion of the bill providing for the settlement of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians, the major portion of the time being given to the provision for the disposal of the coal lands in Indian Territory. Washington, Feb. 27. — Military matters held the attention of the house today, the army appropriation bill being under consideration for amendment. That General Corbin and General MacArthur might become lieutenant generals, the provision abolishing that rank was eliminated on a point of order Smeot Makes an Enemy. Washington, Feb. 27. — When the senate takes a vote on the Smoot case, it is quite likely that Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, will vote to unseat Mr. Smoot, notwithstanding it has always been understood that Mr. Heyburn was a Mormon sympathizer in his own state, and was elected by Mormon votes in the Idaho legislature. Behind this apparent change of front on the part of Senator Heyburn lies an interesting story that developed during the course of his now famous speech against Roosevelt's forest reserve policy. raised by Grosvenor, of Ohio, who substituted an amendment to abolish the grade after these officers had been promoted, but this, too, met defeat. Members of the appropriations committee disputed the right of the military committee to appropriate for an apparatus for fire control of field artillery, but without success. Only eight of the 50 pages of the bill were passed upon when the house adjourned. Monday, February 26. Washington, Feb. 26.—The death of ex-Speaker David B. Henderson was the subject of appropriate action in the house of representatives today, when, after the transaction of less than a day's business, resolutions of regret and esteem were adopted and adjournment taken as a further mark of respect to his memory. Several bills relating to the District of Columbia were passed, incorporating the Lake Erie & Ohio River Ship Canal company. The bill will be put on its passage the first thing tomorrow. During the consideration of district legislation, Sims, of Tennessee, made a severe arraignment of the form of the District. It was un-American, unrepublican and un-democratic. A bill was passed giving a national charter to the National Society of Sons of the American Revolution. Washington, Feb. 26.—The Hepburn railroad rate bill was reported to the senate today by Tillman, in accordance with the action of the senate committee on interstate commerce last Friday. Large crowds assembled in the galleries, anticipating a field day of debate, but were disappointed. There was little of interest in the proceedings regarding the bill. A brief statement from Tillman with the necessary arrangement for printing the report of the hearings before the committee and a promise that a formal report would be made later, was followed by a few remarks from Aldrich, showing the position of the five Republicans who opposed the bill as reported. Aldrich indicated that there would be no unnecessary delay, but that the bill would be discussed in accordance with its importance. Clapp called up the bill to dispose of the affairs of the five civilized tribes in Indian Territory, and the preliminary discussion was mainly criticism of the disposition of the coal lands owned by the Indians. Dick occupied the floor during the afternoon, continuing his speech in support of the joint statehood bill. Among the bills passed was one appropriating $75,000 for a public building at Moscow, Idaho, and one at Baker City, Oregon, costing $75,000. Frieay, February 23. Washington, Feb. 23. — Preceded by a debate which indicated no hesitancy, but rather a relish, in taking action against alleged railroad combinations, the house agreed without opposition today to the Tillman-Gillespie resolution, directing the Interstate Commerce commission to make an immediate inquiry and report regarding alleged restraints of trade on the part of certain railroads in the handling of coal and oil. The resolution was not in the form in which it passed the senate, and will go back to that body for its second action. Proceeding under call of committee, boils were passed to require $75 worth of work annually on mining claims and $5 worth of work on roads and trails for each mining claim in Alaska; allowing foreign ships to clear from American ports without examination certificates when the countries to which they belong recognize American certificates of inspection; to prevent foreign built dredges from operating in the United States, except the dredges now at work in the United States under contract. Washington, Feb. 23. — By a vote of 3 to 5 the senate committee on interstate commerce today agreed to report the Hepburn railroad rate bill without amendment, but the resolution reserved to the members of the committee freedom of action concerning amendments offered in the senate. By a vote of 5 to 3, Republicans prevailing, Tillman, a Democrat, was given the honor of reporting the bill. This establishes a precedent, in that a Republican senate committee has given to a Democrat control of an important measure passed by a Republican house and endorsed by a Republican president. Decides for Railroads Washington, Feb. 28. - The suits known as the citrus fruit cases, in which all the railroads of Southern California were introduced, were today decided favorably to the railroads by the Supreme court of the United States, the opinion being by Justice Peckham. The cases involved the right of the railroad companies to designate the route for fruit shipped East after leaving their own lines. The decision of the Circuit court for the Southern district of California and also the order of the commission were reversed. NO. 45. SAYS WORK IS BEING DONE. Harrison Returns From Panama and Praises Canal Officials. New York, Fbe. 28.—Ex-Congressman Francis Burton Harrison returned to New York yesterday after a trip of six weeks through Central America. One week of that time he spent in investigating the work of digging the Panama canal. He is convinced, he says, that the administration ought to be upheld in its task. Mr. Harrison found that, although a Democrat, the officials engaged in the canal work were eager to inform him about it. They seemed to have nothing to conceal, and they had work there, he said, to show for their efforts. He found esprit de corps among the higher officials, and he continued: "Mr. Stevens is working to establish it all along the line. With the minor officials, who are appointed by the civil service, there is little of the spirit necessary for the right kind of work. They seem to fear that Washington will change the plans and change jobs. I think that the canal commissioners should be there on the ground. It would help a vast deal. Not all of them would be necessary—two or three might do. More work would be accomplished." Mr. Harrison was asked if he approved of the plans for the building of the canal. "I think it would be folly," he replied, "to array any party against such a work. Criticism might be all right, but not as partisan criticism. "I believe the canal is being dug honestly, efficiently, and with earnestness and intelligence. Any observant traveler could offer minor criticism as to what has been done and what is being left undone, but we are not dealing with trivialities there, nor is the canal commission to be held accountable like the house committee of a social club. We are building a great canal, and it is going to be built." BURIAL OF JONES' BONES. Naval Hero Will Be Interred at Annapolis With Ceremony. Annapolis, Md., Feb. 28.—Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte, General Horace Porter, Governor Warfield of Maryland and Admiral Sands were in conference yesterday relative to the interment of the remains of Admiral John Paul Jones April 24, the anniversary of his victory over the British frigate Drake. The body of the great sea fighter will on that date be removed from the temporary vault, in which it was placed upon its return to this country, to the handsome memorial hall in the new midshipmen's quarters, and not, as had been expected, to the crypt of the new chapel, as that will not be ready in time for the ceremony. White all the details have not been arranged, the ceremonies of April 24, which will be held in the armory of the naval academy, will be presided over by Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte, and addresses will be made by President Roosevelt, General Porter, Governor Warfield and the French ambassador, M. Jusserand. It was decided to make the display a purely naval one except that various patriotic societies throughout the country will be invited to attend and participate. AROUSED AGAINST FOREIGNERS. Whole Population Hostile, Encouraged by Viceroy of Canton. Manila, Feb. 28.—A leading American fi'i in this city has received the following cable from Canton: "The boycott has greatly encouraged the anti-foreign feeling. Teachers, reformers, agitators and the native newspapers now have the power of that association behind them, causing a remarkable growth in the reform party and secret societies, while the anti-foreign, anti-dynastic viceroy of Canton, by his autocratic ruling and his antagonistic attitude to the foreign consuls, encourages the masses of the people in their anti foreign feeling. "In the prefecture of Chang Chew, near Amoy, recent outrages against foreign court procedure, approved by Pekin, has strengthened the revolutionary forces, who are now eager to try conclusions with the government. "In a portion of China between the Yangtse valley and the Hongkong district, dangerous anti-foreign feeling exists which is likely to break out at any moment." New York, Feb. 28.—The Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company gave out a statement today relative to the withdrawal of the company from the state of Missouri. The withdrawal followed a discussion as to an examination of the company by Missouri examiners at the expense of the company. The Mutual Reserve objected to the expense in prospect, holding that it was excessive and illegal. The company's estimate of the minimum cost of the examination is $8,000, while the superintendent's is $5,000. Kills State Primary Bill. Des Moines, Ia., Feb. 28.—The state primary bill met defeat in the state senate today by a vote of 29 to 21. This ends the fight on this subject for this legislature. Topics of the Times The new battleship's dizzy speed is calculated to make the Virginia reel. The world is indeed a stage, but the spectators are not charged admission fees. Uncle Sam is about to shut down the lld on Bering Sea, but he can't seal it. No seals left. When a young man informs a girl that she is the light of his life, he probably means a flashlight. President Roosevelt can find a sure cure for race suicide in the Senator Clark million-dollar-baby plan. One-half the world doesn't know how the other half lives because fully one-half mind their own business. An old bachelor says that matrimony is an excellent training school for women who are ambitious to enter the lecture field. Dr. Dowle didn't allow his modesty to restrain him from naming three men to do the work heretofore performed by himself. Yale's athletic reserve fund has grown to nearly $100,000. Maybe this is proof of sport for sport's sake, but it looks like business. An army girl in New York who married an octogenarian is now seeking a divorce. She probably thought that octogenarian meant eighty millions. "A wife is a luxury," said a Chicago judge, but he didn't pretend to give an exhaustive definition. That would require several pages of the dictionary. After reading Secertary Wilson's report, the farmer must be convinced that he is rich, even if he wears one gallius and his principal asset is a yellow dog. "Will the coming man marry?" asks Dr. Madison C. Peters. It depends somewhat on the fancy of the woman to whose house he is coming. How often does he come? There is plenty of heroism in the country, but the hero does not proclaim his merit from the housetops. The hero-rewarding commission may have to employ detectives. "Why," asks a foreign visitor, "are not your college students revolutionists?" Evidently this gentleman has not seen them going through some of their revolutions on the football field. George Westinghouse, Jr., has entered his father's shops as an apprentice on the same terms as the other apprentices. Still, the other apprentices wouldn't be taking long chances in swapping futures with him. Sir Horace Plunkett wants to make a study of the dietary of the American farming class. We will be interested in his remarks when he arises in the British Parliament full of hog, hominy and wisdom, and gives a result of his investigations. It is a great thing, this glory and honor of nations. For it men go and shoot at perfect strangers without an introduction and are shot at by them. Those who are killed are heroes and get their names misspelled in a list. The more of these there are the greater the glory and honor redounding to the credit of the nation supplying them. The nation measures its glory and honor by the number of its citizens slain. So this honor and glory must be a fine and noble thing. Some Western college professor has made a suggestion which seems to strike at the root of the football evil. It consists of two propositions—first, that membership on an intercollegiate football team be conditioned primarily on the candidate's being a gentleman in the best sense of the word, and that at the least indication of hoodlumism seen by his associates or coaches he be punished by immediate removal from the list of available players; and, secondly, that this motto be continuously forced upon the attention of all contestants in intercollegiate sports: "It is far better to lose fairly than to win unfairly." Books and merchandise committed to the mails misdirected or underpaid find their way into the Dead Letter Office, and are sold by auction in Washington just before Christmas each year. Countless misunderstandings and heartburnings have been occasioned by the mistakes which the auctioneer's huge pile each year represents. Persons for whom the articles were intended wonder why they never heard from old friends, particularly those far away from home, and those who sent these things feel hurt because the supposed recolplents have never been polite enough to make acknowledgment. No one can look at the stacks of misdirected articles without realizing the desirability of a charitable judgment of those who, we think, have treated us shabbi. The Dead Letter Office collections constitute a touching appeal for lenency. One is forced to wonder not that there is fighting, but that there is not so much fighting that the practice of hazing should become dangerous or impossible. Courage, physical and moral, is supposed to be one of the marks of the naval officer, but have the cadets not been establishing a system of cowardice in permitting themselves to be mauled by young brutes without making a fight for it? When a new boy enters an English public school he must inevitably fight. He is forced to fight by some youth who attempts to put an indignity upon him, and when the affront is given the battle is on. The English system seems to be the better one. It is possible to understand the code which impels a midshipman or other youth to fight to preserve his self-respect, but it is hard to understand the code or state of mind which coerces the future officers of the navy to submit tamely and submissively to brutal indignities. Cultivated and prosperous people often complain that the working servants of cities are ignorant, job-seeking and incompetent. Yet seldom does the man of cultivation and means go to work for his community in the humbler offices where there is much labor and little honor or political influence. But there are exceptions. A young novelist is mayor of Toledo. A millionaire has been appointed superintendent of streets in Cincinnati—his wealth was acquired before he entered the office. A late fire commissioner of Syracuse was a millionaire and college graduate; he built a model enginehouse at his own expense and improved the department by his own example. Years ago an indignant citizen of Boston complained to the mayor that the street sweepers were an ungentlemanly crew. "I know it," replied the mayor. "I've tried to get our first families to wield the brooms, but they won't do it." Most English-speaking persons think that the best place for a Chinese is in China. He no soner migrates to a country inhabited by users of English than they begin to tell him how unwelcome he is. The history of Chinese immigration in the United States is familiar. Laborers were needed on the Pacific coast, and the Chinese came, or were brought, in large numbers to supply the demand. Then the white men began to protest against the competition of the Asiatics, and after a time Chinese laborers were forbidden to enter the country. The situation in the gold-mining region of South Africa to-day is similar to that in California when the Chinese began to flock there. The mine owners have not been able to get white or black labor enough to work their mines to their full capacity. A year ago the importation of Chinese coolies began, and now there are forty-five thousand of them in the district. They were admitted against the protest of the British colonies in the southern Britain, and in spite of the objections of public men in Great Britain. Already the question of discontinuing the policy has become a party issue in England. The Liberals declare that the condition of the Chinese is practically one of slavery. Moreover, they assert that the Chinese have made life unsafe in the mining district; that men are afraid to leave their families alone, and that it has become necessary to barricade the doors and windows of the houses at night, and to sleep with firearms within reach. All this is denied by the adherents of the government, who maintain that the situation is exaggerated or wholly misrepresented, and that the introduction of Chinese labor has made South Africa prosperous. A most serious phase of the situation is that the three or four hundred million Chinese at home are beginning to take note of the treatment of the Chinese away from home, and are resorting to retaliatory measures against foreigners in China. A Carnivorous Plant. On the shores of Lake Nicaragua is to be found an uncanny product of the vegetable kingdom known among the natives by the expressive name of "the devil's noose." How delighted Poe would have been to make this cannibal plant the subject of one of his weird stories. Dunstan, the naturalist, discovered it not long ago while wandering on the shores of the lake. Attracted by cries of pain and terror from his dog, he found the animal held by black, sticky bands, which had chafed the skin to the bleeding point. These bands were branches of a newly discovered carnivorous plant which has been aptly named "the land octopus." The branches are flexible, black, polished, without leaves, and secrete a viscid fluid. They are also furnished with a great number of suckers, with which they attach themselves to their victims. It certainly deserves to be classed as the octopus of the vegetable world. Self-Defense. Saleslady—I am resigning my position. I'm going to marry Mr. Kashcollar of the necktie counter.

It has, however, most important functions, such as the casting out of waste matter and the maintenance of an even body temperature, disregard of which may lead to serious disturbances of health. But aside from its purely physiological purposes, the skin is an important influence for or against personal appearance, and its proper care is therefore worthy of consideration from this point of view alone. Cleanliness is the greatest essential in the care of the skin. For the cleansing bath, water as hot as can be borne is best, and a good soap should be freely applied with a moderately stiff bath-brush. If the water is at all hard it is well to soften it by the addition of a little ammonia or borax. A quick sponging of the entire body with cold water should follow, in order to cause the pores relaxed by the heat to contract; and the drying should be accomplished by brisk rubbing with a coarse towel. Although the habitual use of hot water on the face is sometimes condemned on the ground that it tends to favor the relaxation of the skin and produces wrinkles, there is no danger of this if the washing be concluded with cold water. The sponge is a thing to be avoided, as it is difficult to keep clean, and forms a beautiful lurking-place for germs. One wash-cloth should be kept for the face alone, and this should be boiled frequently. At night it is a good plan to rub a little pure cold-cream into the skin of the face and then wipe it off with a piece of soft linen. It is surprising how black the latter will appear when the operation is finished. Cold-cream and talcum powder and some of the cosmetics are safe and useful, but other cosmetics do more harm than good. The development of wrinkles can be retarded, and if present they may be lessened by gentle massage with the finger tips anointed with cold-cream. A good general rule is to let the direction of the rubbing be upward and outward. Above all, it should be remembered that cleanliness, exercise, fresh air, simple food and attention to the digestion are the most important considerations in the care of the skin. Youth's Companion. A Man of Many Friends. It was characteristic of the late Sir Henry Irving to make friends of Americans whom he met in London, and to show his appreciation of the esteem and admiration in which he was held here. But it would have been asking too much to expect him to be familiar with each person's claim to his recognition. A contributor to the New York Sun says that it was often a case of "going it blind" on the part of the actor. A certain New Yorker arriving in London found an invitation from Sir Henry to one of the famous suppers in Beefsteak Room of the Lyceum Theater. He accepted the invitation with delight, had as good a time as the guests at these gatherings invariably did, and ultimately became a close friend of the actor. But neither at that first supper nor at any time later did his host say a word to explain how he happened to invite a man he had never met before. So at last his American friend decided to question him on the subject. "Tell me, Irving," he said, "how did you happen to ask me to take supper with you ten years ago in London? I've often wondered why you did it." "So have I," answered the actor, blandly "and to save my life I was never able to recall what the reason was. But I'm sure it was a good one!" The Minister—And does your papa say grace at the table, too? The Angel Child—Yes, sir, but he doesn't say it like you do. The Minister—What does he say? The Angel Child—He sits down an' looks around an' says, "Good Lord, what a dinner!"—Cleveland Leader. Fatal Statement. Newitt—He's anxious to be considered a man of some social distinction. Bunker—He's taking a queer way about it." Newitt—Why? Bunker—He says golf is 'merely tommyrot—Philadelphia Press. Just Too Sweet. Miss Elder—Yes, Jack asked me to be his partner for life, and I accepted. Miss Younger—How lovely! And you will be the senior partner, won't you, dear?—Cleveland Leader. Her Specially.

One Year, payable in advance.....$ 2.00 EDITORIAL OBSTRUCTING A GREAT ENTER- PRISE. If the daily newspapers of Portland want something to agitate and in the people's interests, it is a wonder they would not demand that the persistent efforts to keep the Northern Pacific railroad, being built down the north bank of the Columbia, from coming across the peninsula and into Portland, should cease. Here is an enterprise that is not only causing the expenditure of many millions in its own building, but that is causing other railroads to be built and other and greater expenditures to be made, and leading to more development of Oregon and the Pacific Northewest than anything that has happened since Mount Hood was a hole in the ground, and yet it is being opposed and obstructed and harassed and delayed, and its entrance into Portland may be defeated by an opposition company that seeks to monopolize transportation in this region, and yet scarcely anything is said about it. Of course there are rights, and legal questions to be settled, but the matter is of such vital importance that the people ought to demand with one voice that these matters be speedily adjusted, so that this great enterprise, worth untold millions to Portland and Oregon, should not be held up for months and perhaps for years by an opposition company, to whom the people of this state and city really own no favors but such as they have repaid many fold. Not only are the O. R. & N. lawyers doing everything in their power to kill this great enterprise, for which they are not to blame, or it is such work as well as other finds that they are paid for, but it seems as if one or two members of the Port of Portland commission and perhaps a few other interested parties are also trying to block this enterprise and injure Portland to an incalculable extent, and if so they ought to hear from the public. What can the public do? Well, if these obstructive tactics are kept up the business men could get together and resolve to withhold all the patronage possible from the road or corporation that is doing this great damage. No other large community would long submit to a great injury on the part of a concern or of people who depend largely on it for its support. There are two ways of dealing with an enemy; one is quietly to submit to all the injury he can inflict upon you, even while you are feeding him, and the other is to withhold sustenance from him and fight back—and the latter way is the one that practical mankind usually resorts to. Since the above was written the daily papers have published editorials criticizing the delay of the Port of Portland commission and urging prompt action with respect to the bridge across the Willamette, and in this have done the public a service, and The New Age hopes they will keep hammering away. As to the right of way and grade contention, that is in the courts, where it is likely to remain for two or three years, unless great public pressure be brought to bear upon the contending parties, and particularly upon the one that manifestly is trying to prevent the Northern Pacific from coming into Portland, or delaying that event as long as possible. RACE PREJUDICE AND MOBS. This week a "shooting scrape" occurred in Springfield, Ohio, in which one white man and two colored men were wounded. It appears from the press dispatches that a colored man shot first, wounding the white man, but there is no statement of what precipitated the row or what the prov- ocation was on either side. Such an occurrence is nothing new or strange in this country, between white men or between colored men. Something like it occurs almost every day. Yet this fracas precipitated a riot, occasioned a mob that tore down and set fire to houses, and caused the sheriff to appeal to the governor for militia, which, after considerable damage had been done and with a good deal of effort restored order. All this does not usually happen when two angry men take shots at each other, but it happened in this case simply because one of the men was white and the other one colored. Not because a man or two ahd been shot, not because a crime or two had been destroyed, but because a colored man was one of the culprits, a thousand or so white men and boys formed themselves into a mob, intent to destroy the colored men's homes and property and perhaps some of their lives, as they did as to some of the homes and nearly did as to some of the lives, and their innocent children. It does no appear that the colored population of Springfield has been especially offensive or obnoxious, or that as a whole they had done anything to merit such a destructive, lawless and vindictive visitation, but the spirit of race prejudice was aroused and became infamed, it was further heated with liquor and except for the coming of the state militia a lot of inoffensive people would have been—as some in fact were—burned out of house and home and probably there would have been a slaughter of innocents. All this did not happen centuries or even years ago, it did not happen down South where lynching Negroes accused of crime is considered quite the proper thing by a large percentage of the white people, but in the great Northern state of Ohio, in 1906. Why should a white mob arise to destroy property and slay colored people because one of the latter commits a crime, any more than colored men should do so if one of them is killed or wounded? There is no question here of superiority and inferiority of races, of education or labor, or of social equality. It is a question of why the colored population of a town is to be attacked and assaulted and plundered and their property destroyed and perhaps a lot of them killed and the rest driven out homeless and destitute, merely because one of their number commits a crime which if committed by a white man on a Negro would scarcely have been noticed. We make no defense of Negroes' crimes; let them suffer the full legal penalty, imposed in the regular, legal way; but such uprisings and outrages as this shows that the people participating in it not only have no conception of the doctrine of "a square deal," but that they are no more fit for citizenship and the elective franchise than ignorant and vicious blacks. CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS The contest for representative in the First district is between three men, each of whom possesses certain elements of strength, but we think one of them may be eliminated from consideration as a probable nominee. Later it will be easier to estimate the relative prospects of the other two. Professor Hawley, of Salem, will receive quite a strong support in what is called the church vote, though as the others are also friendly to churches and help support them, there is no reason for church people supporting him if on other grounds they consider one of the other the better man for representative. Professor Hawley is also a teacher of some prominence, holding an important position in Willamette University, a Methodist institution, but this does not prove that he is any better friend of education than many a man in another position. On the contrary an educator in a sectarian institution may have narrower views than men who do not make teaching a profession. Professor Hawley, however, is a good man for the place he fills. He is doubtless a capable instructor and an efficient Chautauqua worker. But this does not necessarily make the best timber for representative in congress. In fact, a man of his type is likely to be in a measure handicapped in congress by the very qualities that make him particularly useful and accepta- THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON. ble as a teacher or preacher. It is charged by the Salem Journal that Professor Hawley is the candidate of the old "Salem ring" of selfish and corrupt politicians—not that he is or has been actively one of them, but that they are using his candidacy for their sinister purposes. As to this we know nothing, though we all know that a corrupt political ring frequently selects some apparently excellent and if possible rather unusually "good" man for a candidate, relying on their control of him later. Occasionally they are fooled, as they were by Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, but usually the beneficiary of their action responds to their demands for repayment. In the Second district no new candidate has come out for several weeks, and it looks as if the race might be between Judge Ellis, of Pendleton, and J. L. Rand and W. J. Lachner, of Backer City. In this case Ellis will in all probability be the nominee. Rand and Lachner will to some extent kill each other off, and Ellis, while by no means the sort of a man who ought to be elected, is respectable and has a large acquaintance and many personal friends. He has held office nearly ever since coming to Oregon, and never was in anywise aggressive or had opinions or activity enough, except in getting into office, to make many enemies of any sort. In this case the primary law is not so far working in a manner to commend itself to the voters. Under it new, strong, clean, young but able men should come out for such a position as this, and we believe that such a man from Eastern Oregon could yet win the nomination, but instead of this we have these three scarred, if not stained, politicians and factionists. But if nobody else appears to contest for the nomination, the voters must choose the best they can; perhaps it makes but little difference. CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR Dr. Withycombe is still holding farmers' institutes, and incidentally gaining votes. Not that he is holding the institutes for the purpose of getting votes, for he has been engaged in the institute business, in connection with his work as director of agriculture in the Agricultural College at Corvallis for years, and as such has been of incalculable benefit to the farmers of Oregon, but it naturally happens that without his playing politics at all, the farmers whom he instructs and benefits should regard him favorably as a candidate. And as he will get a goodly percentage of other votes besides those of farmers, it follows that he appears to be the strongest man to come before the primaries as a candidate for the nomination for governor. Ex-Governor Geer has been circulating around in Dr. Withycombe's company and attending farmers' institutes up in Southern Oregon, as of course he had a right to do, both as a farmer and a candidate, but we imagine the farmers are not so friendly to the Tall Fir of the Waldo Hills as they once were. He has been somewhat of a farmer, no doubt, but he has been a politician a good deal more, and to some extent a factionist; and then his administration of land affairs somehow won't down. It is not explained satisfactorily. People can't see how a governor who was both honest and competent, who was vigilant and otherwise faithful, could have allowed land matters to get into such a horrible mess. Then Lawyer Johns is out among the farmers too, somewhat. He does not claim to have ever been a farmer himself, but his father was, or at least his grandfather, and then doesn't he know more law than the other candidates? But we rather think that the farmers of Western Oregon will reflect that since they have a real farmer candidate, and another who is a farmer by spells, when he can spare the time from politics, they will kindly permit Mr. Johns to continue to serve the people of Baker City as mayor. The other two Republicans who have announced their candidacy will cut no figure worth speaking of, but interest will attach to the campaign after the Republican candidate wins at the primaries, whomsoever it may be, because of the professed pop- ularity and strength of the Democratic candidate, the present governor. Well, he is a pretty good vote getter, or has been, but with the registration showing from three to four Republicans to one democrat all over the state, it is not very likely that the governor can win—certainly not if the Republicans nominate their strongest man, who is undoubtedly Dr. Withycombe. A RESTRICTED DISTRICT. The policy of driving all reputedly or suspectedly immoral women into one quarter of the city, for that purpose going into quarters where the general public knows nothing of their existence, is to say the least one or doubtful expediency or wisdom. If such women are quiet in their apartments, do not show themselves for what they are in public, do not offend modest and virtuous people on or in view of the streets, and are not accused of criminal practices aside from what is involved in following their unfortunate occupation, what does society in general or any particular portion of it, gain by raiding them, hustling them out of their quarters and banishing them to a "restricted district"? Within that district are business people and property owners who might object to having it made such. There are some within the boundaries who would like to see, and perhaps are striving to make, their neighbors better instead of worse; cleaner instead of fouler; attractive to good people rather than to bad ones; what right have the authorities to fill up their neighborhood with these women and those who consort with them? On the other hand, since it is admitted that such women must live somewhere, is it treating the owners of premises that they occupy quite right to drive out their tenants? of course it is unlawful to rent or use premises for certain purposes, but everybody knows that the law forbidding this is impossible of strict enforcement, and whether the presence and tenancy of such women are a benefit or injury to the property, what right has the mayor arbitrarily to say they shall go from one quarter to another? We understand, of course, that restrictions must be placed on the "social evil," and that immoral women must as such be kept out of sight and hearing of the public as much as possible; and further that they should not be allowed in places frequented by decent people; but really how much worse are some such women in rooms over an Alder or Washington or Jefferson street saloon than in rooms over saloons farther down town? Nobody but persons who are seeking them would find them in the former places or know of or care about their existence there—so what harm do they there more than on Couch or Davis streets? It is true that the problem presented by such women and those who associate with them is a difficult one and perhaps the "restricted district" plan is best, but we cannot see that attempts to carry out such a policy strictly and fully would do more good than harm. THE GAS INVESTIGATION Admitting that the Oregonian had some animus in attacking the gas company and that under other circumstances it might have refrained from doing so, yet it has done a great service in showing up this monopoly, that claims to have a perpetual franchise and pays but little taxes, and that treats the public just as it pleases. It is conclusively shown that to begin with the price of gas here is too high by at least 15 per cent. In many cities the price of gas is only 75 or 85 cents per 1,000 feet, and in others the authorities are forcing the price down to these figures. It is shown that at these prices a gas company can make big money in a large town. But the price is not all here. The quality is complained of even more than the price. Most people cannot explain technically or scientifically just what is the matter, but they are confident that the lights are not of the power they are represented to be, and that the gas is aerated to a great extent, so that they have to pay for a great deal of hot air, of which they can get enough equally valuable by at- tending a Democratic or Socialistic meeting. Then even if the price were reduced to a reasonable figure, what good would that do if the meters registered 15 per cent more gas consumed? For there are almost unlimited complaints coming from entirely trustworthy people that while their gas bill might be reasonable one month, or perhaps for two or three months, it would then jump up 50 or 100 per cent, when they had consumed no more gas. If these cases were only an occasional one, here and there, they might be overlooked or explained, but there are so many of them that people are forced to the conclusion that there is something crooked and rotten in the business. Except for the Oregonian, whatever its motive, this would have gone on for years yet; if not interminably, whereas through its efforts, there is a probability that the people will soon get relief in one way or another. President Adams is only injuring his own business and creating public sentiment against his company by becoming choleric and cursing the Oregonian. He must have been hit in a sore spot or he would not have squealed so. DR. WITHYCOMBE FOR GOVERNOR The masses of intelligent people in Oregon enthusiastically favor Dr James Withycombe's candidacy for the nomination for the governorship of this state. There are abundant reasons for this support. Dr. Withycombe is well known throughout the commonwealth as one of its ablest and most useful citizens. He is thoroughly familiar with the existing conditions in Oregon; with their causes and their effects; with the state's progress in every material way; with the best and most available means of promoting it, and with the general trend of development in every county. His place at the head of the great agricultural institution of Oregon, in which he has long rendered such eminent service for the people—and especially for that class which is generally overlooked by the politician who seeks office chiefly for its emoluments, perquisites and advantages—has fitted him, as no other experience could have done, to perform the duties of governor or absolutely for the greatest good to the greatest number. The farmers, horticulturists and stockmen of the state, who represent the greatest and most permanent resources of Oregon, appreciate these services and are glad to have an opportunity to manifest that appreciation in a substantial way. He would certainly be a governor for all of the people. He would represent no political faction. In the performance of his official work he would proceed without prejudice or selfishness. He would show partiality neither to faction nor section. His extensive experience in dealing with the people directly would be of far greater assistance to him than any counsel or direction he might receive from committees and leaders of the dominant party. The rural interests of the state would receive timely, proper and adequate attention. The affairs in which the common people are most interested would not be shelved for less important matters of special interests. These facts make it wellnight certain that Dr. Withycombe will receive the nomination and be elected by an overwhelming vote from all classes of people, and particularly that class of citizens whose interests, however important, are generally of secondary concern to the mere politician in office. FOR SECRETARY OF STATE. The leading candidate for the Republican nomination for secretary of state at this time appears to be Hon. Frank T. Wrightman, of Salem, who is one of Oregon's foremost citizens. In addition to the fact that Mr. Wrightman's candidacy is favored geographically, he is one of the most competent men in the commonwealth for that very important office. He is an attorney of estimable and eminent reputation in special lines; he is familiar with Orgon, its interests and its policies; he is well known throughout the state as an able and most popular man; he has for years done yeoman service for the Republican party of the state and nation; his pledge is as good as any man's bond; his integrity has never been questioned; his private, business and professional life is without a blemish, and he is fitted by nature, education, experience and training for the important office to which he aspires. Mr. Wrightman's voluminous mail from all parts of the state is filled with letters from prominent people of Oregon commending and encouraging him. He has never been identified with any faction of the party, always having labored honorably for the common goon on strictly party lines and independently of the influences of incidental campaign issues. He is a stickler for system and economy in all the details of his work, whether for the public or for himself alone, and would make an ideal secretary for the great state of Oregon. He deserves the honor of election to that office, and he would confer honor upon the office if elected. Campaigners throughout the state report that the sentiment favorable to Hon. T. B. Wilcox for the United States senate, to succeed Hon John M. Gearin, the incumbent by appointment, is growing stronger and that he is, so far, head and shoulders above any other possible candidate named. Mr. Wilcox is one of the ablest men of the state and one of the foremost business men of the Northwest Coast. He would be a strong man, in the matter of substantial influence and progressive work for Oregon; in fact, for the entire Pacific Coast. Oregon at this time needs a big man in that big office, and political obligation should have nothing to do with his selection. Lots of room for candidates yet. The Demoerats won't try much to elect many. This is positively Binger's last term in congress. Some think Tom Richardson is running for senator. Most candidates are qualifying "Statement No. 1." That is right. By the way, who's going to run for coroner? Anybody but Mr. Finley? Attorney-General Crawford fully deserves another term, and will get it. Judge Lowell, of Pendleton, has concluded that he won't try for senator. Wise, probably. Could the mayor be elected again if the election were to be held over now? Guess not. Several good men have shied at that senatorial bait. Maybe the winner hasn't spoken out yet. Somebody has mentioned Hon. George H. Williams for senator. We were sure this would happen. The probability increases every week that Mr. Ralph Hoyt will be the Republican nominee for state treasurer. A celebrated Webster was in the senate once, but Judge Lionel Webster won't get there—for awhile yet at least. The state senators elected this spring will vote for two United States senators—in 1907 and 1909. Good men should be chosen. There is no doubt about the nomination of Governor Chamberlain and Senator Gearin—but being elected is quite another matter. Assistant Secretary of State Frank T. Wrightman is just the right man to advance to the head of that office. He deserves it, and no better man could be selected.

OUR CHICAGO LETTER February 20, 1906. Mrs. Christie, of Carl avenue, is very sick. Mr. Cole, of Ripley, Ohio, is in the city and is the guest of Mr. Hale G. Parker. Mr. Daniel R. Young, a prominent colored man of Oakland, Cal., was in Chicago last week and was the guest of Lawyer John G. Jones, of this city. Mrs. Isador Nelson, supreme grand matron of the Supreme Grand Court of Daughters of Sphinx, has called the next session to be held at Boston, Mass., July 5, 1906, at Payne's Memorial hall. The colored men in the Second ward have organized a club for the purpose of defeating Alderman Thomas Dixon, who is a candidate for election. It is to be hoped that the men will stand together and defeat Thomas Dixon by all means. The letters of Rev. Dr. D. A. Graham, of the A. M. E. church, are creating a great stir among the A. M. E. church members of this city and almost a revolt is threatened in one or two of the colored churches of that denomination in Chicago. Rev. H. G. H. McGee, president of the General Masonic Congress of the United States, has called the next General Congress of Masons to meet at Boston, Mass., July 9, 1906. It will be the largest assembly of Masons that has ever met in the United States. Right Eminent Grand Commander John G. Jones, of Chicago, and of the Grand Commandery of the State of Illinois on last Monday organized Western Star Commendery of Knight Templars in this city. This makes 14 commanderies of Knight Templars that is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Commander of Knight Templars of the State of Illinois. Mr. Cartera, a colored man employed in the postoffice department and a member of the colored Eighth regiment, was arrested in this city on yesterday for robbing the mail. This makes the second colored officer of the colored Eighth regiment that has been arrested for robbing the mails of the United States government within two months. It appears that the trouble is that most of the colored men who belong to the regiment are trying to live in high style and are living beyond their financial means and have resorted to the plan of stealing. The sooner the regiment is dissolved and broken up the better off the colored people in the state of Illinois will be, for it seems like it is bringing and educating its members to commit all kinds of crime. Much complaint is now being made by the colored clerks in the county treasurer's office, under John Hamburg, as to the discrimination and unjust treatment that they are receiving. It is reported that this has been going on for a long time and that if Mr. Hamburg desires to have the support of the best-thinking people of Chicago he had better look into the matter. It is reported that the deputy county treasurer and Mr. Valentine, who is the chief clerk in the office, is responsible for the whole trouble. It is stated upon good authority that when the taxpayers come in to pay their taxes that Mr. Valentine, the chief clerk, has all the colored clerks in the office kept in some remote place so they cannot be seen by the public and never allows them to come out and associate with the rest of the clerks until the public has gotten through transacting business. More will be said about this outrageous proceeding in the future. THE PIONEER PAINT COMPANY. The pioneer paint establish ments of Portland is that of F. E.

She Dodges Church and Devotes Her Time to Odd Jobs "The church of the future is to be womanless as well as manless, judging from the women's college," said the dean of a woman's college, according to the New York Press, "for it is only by the strictest discipline that we can induce the girls to attend church. They have all sorts of excuses why they should not attend divine worship and it's wonderful how many headaches develop Sunday morning. Almost every woman's college demands a church record from every student and it is only by keeping them under our thumbs in this way that we can be sure of their ever hearing a sermon during their college course. The college malden's disinclination to church worship is not due to an irreligious spirit, but it's because she wants the day absolutely to herself to rest, to dream, to write letters home, to do the thousand and one things for which there is little time on recitation days. "Many girls look forward to Sunday as the day when they may indulge in the luxury of late rising. They won't get up until 9 or 9:30, and then they get a chafing dish breakfast in their rooms. They say it rests them perfectly and puts them in the proper condition for the rush and grind which begins the next day. There are rumors that some of the students take Sunday as a mending day and, of course, such a practice would be stopped at once if we only had actual proofs of it; but such proofs are difficult to get. Sometimes it looks suspicious if a skirt blinding which has been ripped all the week appears nicely sewed on Monday morning, but there is no reason why the sewing might not have been done Saturday afternoon or evening. "Sunday the girls like to forget that they are in college and become merely the eternal feminine. They lay in a stock of good things on Saturday and invite two or three friends in to take supper with them Sunday evening. They wash out their handkerchiefs and stocks and clean their gloves. They get spots out of their skirts and straighten out their bureau drawers. They rearrange the furniture in their rooms so that it will look less monotonous. They go to call on some of the 'town people.' They revel in a kimono in the morning, because, they say, they are obliged to 'get into togs' every other day in the week. They read popular fiction of the day and discuss the marriage question. "Sometimes they take long walks, but these walks are always attended by Sunday decorum and there is never any junketing Sunday. They seem to appreciate more the beauties of nature on that day and think less about autumn leaves making a 'gorgeous decoration for the sophomore dance', or about the 'perfectly grand fried chicken and cream potatoes' that are served at some of the weather-beaten old farm houses. "Sunday the college girl gives her domestic instincts free rein, but she won't go to church if she can possibly help it." Squire Flanders was detailing the characteristics of the late Amos Bowden, one of his fellow townsmen, to Mr. Partridge, a new comer in Seymouth. "As a leading citizen, we rather expected Amos 'd do something handsome for the town," said the squire; "remember it to the tune of a few thousand for a libr'y, or something." "And he didn't?" asked Mr. Partridge, with easy interest. "He didn't," repeated Squire Flanders, dryly. "He didn't make any public bequests—at least, not any out-and-out ones. Some years ago his wife persuaded him to put a fountain in the square, in front of the postoffice, and the agreement was that he was to keep it in repair, the town to reimburse him for half the expense. "You don't know what our winters are, but you will by spring," the squire continued, prophetically, "so you'll have to take my word for it that that fountain cost the town pret' near's much's the schools. Every year, regular, the pipes had to be dug up, and new pieces put in where they'd froze up and bust, and after a while we owed Amos quite a little sum. In his will he canceled that obligation, and that was the extent of his remembering the village he was born and brought up in—and him close to the millionalre line." Mr. Partridge smiled. "He wasn't what could be called a royal giver," he commented. "Royal!" gasped the squire. "You couldn't have led him blindfolded up to the word. I'll tell you how Ed Vesey sized Amos up," he continued, with happy recollection. "If Amos was an ostrich, Ed said, 'and was goin' to lay an egg, he'd sure lay a pewee's egg. An he'd call it," says Ed, "keeping on the safe side." Stronger. Teacher—Johnny, for what is Switzerland famous? Scholar—Why—m'm—Swiss cheese. Teacher—Oh, something grander, more impressive, more tremendous. Open to Conviction. "Do you believe in relincarnation?" asked Smith. "I don't know," answered the man who weighs his opinions. "I have never seen it tried."—Washington Star. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. Always ask for the famous General Arthur cigar. Eesberg-Gunst Cigar Co., general agents, Portland, Or. * JOHN P. SHARKEY & Manufacturers and Jobbers o SHERIFF'S SALE. In pursuance of a judgment rendered in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for Multnomah county, on the 13th day of February, 1906, in an action wherein The Ames Mercantile Agency, a律司, was plaintiff, and Thos.

OREGON. Ram's Horn Sounds a Warning Note to the Unredeemed. EAR is the father of failure. Guilt makes a rocky pillow. Wrong cannot defend right. At the worst our troubles last no longer than our joys. Divine love for men is born of human interest in There is no rest on the road that runs from work. No man finds rest until he knows that God is right. There are no real riches except through righteousness. The devil always approves of plans for patching humanity. You will not preserve the Sabbath until it is precious to you. Our welcome in heaven does not depend on our wandering here. The revocation of passes doesn't worry the man on the Zion train. He to whom all things were holy never slighted any holy thing. Manna now is an earnest of milk and honey in the land to come. Familiarity not only breeds contempt, but it cultivates blindness. Our appetites become iniquitous as soon as they block our aspirations. He who thinks only of his dividends has invested himself with the devil. Obedience is not the blindfolding of our wills, but the vision of the higher will ENSLAVING OF THE CHILD. Vast Armies of Funny Children Wear ing Out Their Unhappy Lives. The factory wants the child. There is little to suggest the Magic Piper in its whistle, yet the summons brings the children scurrying down the broken stairs of poverty and want, and the factory-doors close upon them by tens of thousands, leaving their childhood outside. The factory wants the child and will pay for him; the child, and often his parents, can see no value in a birthright as balanced against a little handful of silver; only the state and the disinterested public are left to care and protest. Perhaps the present attitude of tempered humanity, which still allows children of thirteen to work all night and keeps boys and girls of nine from ten to fourteen hours at the spindles for wages ranging from ten to twenty cents, will seem as incomprehensible, one hundred years hence, as the past feeding of "workhouse brats" to the factories does to us. But the new measure of what is humane cannot become established unless we know clearly what is happening and how and where the children are at work. Knowing, we must care. Ruskin said, "Luxury, at present, can only be enjoyed by the ignorant; the cruelest man living could not sit at his feast unless he sat blindfold." Picture an army of one million, seven hundred thousand children, all under fifteen, and then realize that that army-tramps, day after day, not to school and playground, but to the factories, fields, mines and workshops of these United States. One million, seven hundred thousand was the number of child laborers estimated when the census of 1900 was taken; only the God of fallen sparrows knows what it is by this time. In twenty years preceding 1900 the number of boys in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits—boys between ten and fifteen—had increased one hundred per cent; the number of girls, one hundred and fifty per cent; but only a fifty per cent increase had been added to the population. To-day, in spite of all the child-labor agitation of the past few years, it is estimated that forty thousand children under sixteen are.at work in Pennsylvania alone, and the Southern mills are said to employ twenty thousand children not yet twelve.—Success Magazine. "Patent Pending." Although Miss Hobbs had lived her whole life in a New Hampshire village, she saw no reason why her horizon should be narrow or her circle small. At the age of sixty she was relieved of the last of her family cares by the death of a paralytic; she then promptly joined the Society for Dispelling Gloom and began correspondence with eight other members in different parts of the country. She began to send papers by mall to one of the Boston shops, and at last announced her intention of going to the city for a day or two. In the care of a Boston niece, Miss Hobbs made a tour of the shops, but she intended to reserve her purchasing for the one that "had done so well by her through the mail." "I've got a little list of things they have advertised special," said Miss Hobbs, and when they reached the desired shop she consulted the slip of paper held tightly in her hand; then she looked "benevolently over her glasses at the young man behind the counter. "Whereabout shall we find that 'patent pending' I see advertised on that new darning-egg your folks sent me?" she asked him. "It's such a curious name, I'm all of a whew to see it." A Compromise. She—I am very sorry, Mr. Jones, that I cannot accept your affection. He—Then, all you have to do, my dear madam, is to return it—Baltimore American. ST. PAUL MINN. C. J.

Theodore Alfred Bingham, New York’s new police commissioner, is 1 West Point graduate, 47 years of age and as brisk as a dynamo. Henry Labouchere, who is about to re tire from Parliament, has spent more than $1,000,000 in defending libel suit brought against him as editor of Truth. ‘The remark attributed to Jacob Riis that the President would accept anothe term if he should not have been success ful in his contest with the money power appears to have been incorrectly reported What he did say was that the President would continue his fight, not in the White House, perhaps, but in Congress. ‘A bill has been introduced in the New Jersey Senate asking for legal proceed. ings against the Standard Oil Company and its subsidiary corporations, for the purpose of forfeiting their charters, upon grounds of violating the common, law aa to monopolies and the Elkins law as to interstate commerce, Representatives Huff of Pennsylvania, Haskins of Vermont and Connor of New York so closely resemble one another that only their most intimate friends dis- tinguish them apart. When asked about the report that thé President had issued an ultimatum to the Senate Republican leaders on the sub- ject of railway rate legislation, Senator Aldrich replied that the President and the leaders in Congress were “in perfect ac- cord so far as the general principles in- volved are concerned,” and that the only lifterences which remain to be settled are of comparatively minor importance.
