HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. There is a general feeling throughout Russia that a revolution cannot help but come soon. Thirty-two insurance companies have refused to cut payment of San Francisco losses 25 per cent and will pay in full. Roosevelt condemns the meat inspection bill and threatens to call an extra session if action is not taken on the canal. A meeting of Illinois farmers at Chicago decided to form an organization to fight the commission men who are now robbing them. The government has secured evidence at Cleveland, Ohio, of rebating to Standard Oil and will prosecute the oil company and the railroad. A committee from the National Association of Manufacturers, after an investigation of Chicago packing house conditions, says it can find nothing wrong. State Insurance Commissioner Davis, of Nevada, has notified insurance companies to pay 100 cents on the dollar of their San Francisco losses or quit business in Nevada. Germany says America is not the only country where bad meat originates. The kaiser's inspectors refuse admittance to shipments from several other countries. The president and senate continue at loggerheads on important measures. A storm is brewing in the Russian parliament about duplicity regarding executions. All shipping on San Francisco bay continues tied up on account of a strike of the freight handlers. The house has voted to allow no money to soldiers' homes for maintenance which have canteens. Chicago courts are trying to decide who is the head of Zion City at the present time. Dowie is the star witness. The Longworths are receiving splendid entertainment in London. Mrs. Longworth dined winthe the king a few days ago. A New York Federal grand jury has asked that several officers of the tobacco trust be adjudged in contempt and sent to jail for failure to produce certain books wanted by the jury in an investigation of the business methods of the trust. A million dollar fire at Baltimore wiped out the big Savannah docks, together with all the freight stored there; totally destroyed the steamer Essex and a number of scows loaded with cotton and resin. Two lives are believed to have been lost. A new moderate party has been organized in Russia. An entire regiment at Poltava, South Russia, has mutinied. A committee from the house is working on a meat inspection bill. The senate committee has reported that Smoot is not entitled to a seat in the senate. Republican leaders in both houses have agreed to a compromise on the statehood bill. General Toledo, leader of the Guatemalan revolutionists, claims to be winning his fight. A committee of San Francisco business men is at Washington to get Federal aid for their city. United States secret service men have discovered a scheme by which Chinese were being smuggled into this country at Vancouver, B. C. Three of the largest insurance companies having losses in San Francisco have refused to make a cut of 25 per cent in their payments. Reports from Hankow, China, show that the great floods this spring in the Hunan district caused a loss of life amounting to tens of thousands. A famine will follow, for the floods have brought disaster to an immense area. The Longworths have arrived in England. Manila business men have petitioned congress to establish an agricultural bank. Storms in Pennsylvania and Ohio have caused loss of life and destruction of property. The Mexican board of trade has started an investigation of American canned meats. --- Portland California Declares War on Dishonest Insurance Companies. Sun Francisco, June 15.—The official of California are agreed, it is said, that the insurance companies which refuse to meet their obligations and pay their losses in full will not only be driven from the state, but ruined before the world, if the widest publication of their methods can accomplish that end. Insurance Commissioner E. Marion Wolf is backed by Attorney General Webb. The attorney general expressed himself forcefully today regarding the proposition made by 60 companies at a meeting in Oakland Tuesday to pay only 75 per cent of adjusted losses. "Under the law of California," he said, "the state insurance commissioner can revoke the license of any insurance company for the state when there is cause. Certainly the payment of only 75 per cent of losses would be cause. And not only would it be proof of unsoundness and unfitness to do business, but it will be the plainest evidence of dishonesty. It would be cause for the commissioner to revoke the state license of any company standing for such a proposition, and I know that Mr. Wolf, whose heart is in the situation, will take such action toward companies that enter such an agreement. "This is the limit of his power of punishment under the California law, but he can go much further. The insurance commissioners of all the states stand together. Through them, Commissioner Wolf can advertise to all the world the dishonesty of the companies that refuse to meet their obligations. I am certain that he will use that power against those that give him cause." There was no change today in the alignment of insurance companies on the proposition to make a general 25 per cent cut, but the companies that voted for full payment still hope to win over many of those that took the stand for a percentage settlement. Aged Prophet Lay Down to Die Once, But Could Not. Chicago, June 15.—John Alexander Dowie, on the witness stand in Judge Landis' court today, tremblingly begged for death to relieve him of his sorrows and his defeats. He declared also that should he die he would come back to earth again as Elijah the Restorer. Dowie, in the course of his testimony, gave the following rules to guide a man who is about to die: "Do things in order—even when you go to die. Don't make a splash and mess of it. Go to your death couch and await the end in calm." The occasion for the discussion of death came when Dowie, fighting for the ownership of Zion City and reclaiming possession, which is now in the hands of Wilbur G. Voliva, was telling of his first serious illness as part of the testimony on his present competency to rule the city which he built. Dowie made the amazing assertion that after he was first stricken he lay down to die, but awoke two hours later, alive. "I was never so disgusted as when I awoke two hours later alive," he said, "and I am still alive and disgusted." Bomb Flung at Christian Parade in Russia Provokies Riot. Bialystok, Russia, June 15.—A Jewish anarchist threw a bomb among the Corpus Christi procession, which was in progress here today, and killed or wounded hundreds of persons. In consequence the Christians attacked and massacred the Jews and demolished their shops. The bomb was thrown from the balcony of a house in Alexandrov street. A Russian clergyman named Federoff was among those killed. Immediately after the explosion Jews began to fire from the windows of the house. Soldiers surrounded it and fired two volleys. Meanwhile the enraged Christians attacked the Jewish stores in Alexandrov and Suraz streets, demolishing the fixtures and windows, throwing the goods into the gutters, and beating and murdering the Jews. Many Jews fled to the railroad station, pursued by the mob, which killed several there. Washington, June 15.—Judge James Wickersham, of Alaska, will be confirmed by the senate before adjournment. Notice was served on Senators Nelson and McCumber today by the steering committee that the senate will not permit them to continue their hold-up of this nomination which it is apparent to practically the entire senate that Wickersham has been unjustly accused and that the fight against him is not being made in good faith. It is unusual for the senate to take such drastic measures with its own members. Major Scott To Be Superintendent. Washington, June 15.—Major Hugh L. Scott, Fourteenth cavalry, now in the Philippines, has been selected by Secretary Taft to succeed Brigadier General A. L. Mills, as superintendent of the military academy, who is to be given charge of an army department, probably in the Philippines. New Age DRIVE THEM FROM STATE. LIFE DISGUSTS DOWIE. MASSACRE AND PILLAGE. Hold-Up Must Stop. TROOPS JOIN MOBS Czar Can No Longer Trust Soldiers to Resist Revolution. STRIKE THREATENED AT MOSCOW Governor of Poltava Camlams for Fresh Troops Since Mutiny— Court Party Exposed. St. Petersburg, June 14. — Ominous of the government's ability to cope with prospective agrarian disorders is the news from Poltava, one of the richest and most populous farming provinces of Russia, that the governor is in daily receipt of requests for troops for the protection of estates from the peasants, who have not the slightest fear of the rural guards. The governor is unable to comply with these requests, because the local troops, one regiment of which mutinied Sunday, are so infected by the revolutionary propaganda that detachments sent to the villages immediately fraternize with the peasants. The governor therefore begs the St. Petersburg authorities to send him fresh troops. Two daily newspaper organs of the Revolutionary Socialists, the Narodny Vestnik (People's Messenger) and the Ivestia (Peasant News) were suppressed today. The final number of the Narodny Vestnik gives statistics of General Treepoff's reactionary party in the council of the empire, which it says is composed of three princes, four count, three barons, 24 ex-governors general, governors and other high officials, and one metropolitan, who, together draw from the government over $500,000 in salaries. Besides this, all these reactionaries own immense estates, that of M. Polotseff being 1,500,-000 acres. An industrial tempest seems to be on the point of breaking at Moscow, whence it may again spread over the empire. A final conference between the employers and printers, whose strike produced the general strike of last October, is being held tonight. If it should be fruitless, the result will be a lockout of the printers and probably a sympathetic factory strike. INDEPENDENTS ASK FAIR PLAY. Independents in Ohio Ask for Special Legislative Session. Cleveland, June 14.—The Leader today says: An extra session of the Ohio legislature is asked by the independent oil men of the state. A formal request for the issuance of a special call is being prepared for Governor Pattison, while letters bearing upon this subject are to be sent from Cleveland to every member of the legislature. Should the special session be called, the independent oil men will urge the amendment of two laws which they deem necessary to insure their fair play as against the Standard Oil company. The first is the anti-discrimination law now in operation in Kansas and Iowa. The second is the maximum freight law, which has enabled the independent operators in Kansas to obtain equal rights from the railroads, thus placing them on the same competitive basis as the vast combine. FORCE ISSUE ON CANAL TYPE Amendment to Sundry Civil Bill May Come in House. Washington, June 14.--An unexpected snag was struck today in the movement for an early adjournment, and it is possible that the type of the Panama canal must be settled before congress closes its sessions. Secretary Taft was in conference with Speaker Cannon and Chairman Hepburn, of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, which handles the canal legislation, and there is a disposition to settle the type of canal before the adjournment of congress. Steamer Empire Is Sold. City of Mexico, June 14.—The steamer Empire, now at Corinto, Nicaragua, and said to be assisting the Guatemalan rebels, has been sold to the Nicaraguan government, according to a dispatch received here from Salvador, and cannot now be seized. Tapachula advises report that Ayutla, Guatemala, has not been retaken by Guatemala regulars. Ocos is said to be still in the possession of the revolutionists. The leaders of the Guatemalan revolution scout the adverse reports sent out from Guatemala City. Goose Lake Land Withdrawn. Washington, June 14—The secretary of the interior today withdrew from disposition under the public land laws a strip of land extending around Goose lake, in Northern California, and Southwestern Oregon, for use in connection with the Pitt river irrigation project. The area covers approximately 40,000 acres. NO. 8. GERMANIA TO QUIT. Strong Insurance Company Withdraws From California. San Francisco, June 13.—The Germania Insurance company, of New York, will write no more insurance in this state, will close all its offices and abandon California as an insurance field. Telegraphic instructions have been received from the home office to that effect and will be followed. Two reasons are given for this action. One, general in its scope, is that of an ultra-conservative company not caring to risk any more of its capital in California' losses. The other is more specific, and says the decision of the company was influenced by the legislature a d Insurance Commissioner Wolf. The action of the Germania company is the talk of insurance circles. When it was reported that the Eagle and some of the other smaller companies would quit California, there was little comment—it was expected—but when a company like the Germania declared itself in the same manner the entire commercial community of the city was startled. The Germania is one of the strong companies doing business in California, having assets of $7,000,000, and is paying its losses as rapidly as they are adjusted. Among insurance men the Germania is noted for its conservatism. It was thought probable that the company had been frightened out of the state by its recent losses. This was not fully admitted at the offices of the company, though it was conceded that the character of the loss and the manner in which it was incurred may have had its effect on the directorate. There is every likelihood that a number of companies will follow the example of the Germania. Smaller companies see in it a precedent under which they may claim a reasonable excuse for quitting the state, and on the other hand it may be the pioneer movement in what may develop into concerted action to secure the repeal of the act at the next session. CYCLONE IN MONTANA. Loss at Havre Placed at $200,000— Rain Accompanied Wind. Havre, Mont., June 13—Havre and Fort Assiniboine were struck by a hurricane this afternoon that did damage estimated at $200,000. Buildings were toppled over without warning when the cyclone struck and not a structure in the path of the terrific wind escaped damage. Several persons were injured, but up to a late hour this evening no fatalities were reported. The fierce wind carried rain with it, which fact precluded the possibility of damage by fire. Men and women were swept from their feet by the hurricane and for several minutes it was courting injury to venture outside. Later the wind subsided somewhat and the work of rescue commenced. A report tonight states that both of the reservoirs at Fort Assiniboine have burst and that the quarters of the soldiers are being flooded. Four troops of the Second cavalry and four companies of the Second infantry are stationed there. LAWYERS TO BE PAID. Graft on Colville Indians Passed by the House. Washington, June 13 —Choosing an opportune moment yesterday, when nobody was looking, Chairman Sherman, of the house Indian committee, called up and secured the approval of the conference report on the Indian bill, which embodies the Colville Indian graft. It had been the intention of Representative Fitzxgerald, of New York, to make a fight on this feature of the report, but he was not present at the time. Reference to the text of the bill discloses the fact that it is specifically stated that $150,000 cash appropriation, the first payment of $1,500,000 to the Colvilles for the north half of their reservation, is made "for the use and benefit of the Indians," and yet Senator McCumber, in defending the lawyers' graft, stated in the senate that it was understood in committee that this first appropriation would go to the lawyers, the Indians not to receive any part of it. It is now up to the president to either permit this graft to go through or veto the entire Indian appropriation bill. Economy the Cry in China. Pekin, June 13.—China is in financial straits. The expenses of the government are multiplying without increased revenues. The pay of the new army is considerably in arrears, and a great percentage of desertions is resulting. The dowager empress has issued a long edict, impressing on all officials the necessity for economy. The edict is addressed to the people, and attempta to justify the course of the government. It says that no one appreciates so much as the throne the sufferings of the people from the taxation necessary. Trembler Cracks Buildings. Nogales, Ariz., June 13.—An earthquake occurred at Guamayas. Mex. yesterday about noon. Several buildings were cracked, but nobody was injured. Topics of the Times Consider, if you please, the absurdity of trying to take an immunity bath in an oil tank. The New York Mail wants to know what has become of James Hazen Hyde. We can't imagine why. And, as these trusts step aside, the others will please come forward and take their dose of brimstone and molasses. Most likely about A. D. 3763, some indefatigable exhumer will locate the coffin of John Paul Jones on the site of Annapolis and reclaim it for a grateful nation to buy with great eclat. Congressman Dawson declares that the American hen in sixty days can equal the total production of all the gold mines in the United States. Hurrah for the hen! Still, we'd rather have a gold mine. An official of the Bureau of Agriculture tells that it will take $350,000,000 a year to furnish meal tickets to the potato bug, the grasshopper and other crawling things. The potato bug, according to the authority cited, takes $10,000,000 a year, the chinch bug $15,000,000 and the grasshopper $85,000,000. Other insects bring the total up to more than a third of a billion dollars. Increasing use is made of the knowledge that the finger prints of no two persons are alike. The Indian Bureau has resorted to the use of the thumb print for the signatures of unlettered Indians. It pleases the Indians because of its primitive individuality, and removes all doubt of the authenticity of signatures. Already a great many Indian thumb prints are on file in the Interior Department. Instead of handcuffs and strait jackets for the violently insane, the Kansas board of lady visitors has urged the governor to use his influence to secure a trial of music as a pacifier. Was it not Tennyson who wrote of "Music that gentler on the spirit lies than tird eyelids upon tird eyes?" And has not music charms that soothe the savage breast? If the poets tell the truth, why should it not be useful for soothing a distraught mind? One can hardly believe that deprivity can reach such a depth as was described lately in New York, at a legislative hearing concerning the labeling of mixtures containing dangerous drugs. The statement was this: that of all the cocaine manufactured in the United States, more than one-fifth is used for illicit purposes, and that there are druggists who try to establish and foster the cocaine habit by giving away small quantities of cocaine as samples. The chemical blonde has very nearly disappeared from the enlightened gaze of men. Once upon a time the yellow and strawberry beauty was taken at her own coloring, but now it is useless to practice any such deception. Sophistication rules the hour. No masculine, much less feminine, eye can be deceived. Her lustrous hair is woman's glory and to arrive at it she must ciling to the color in which nature turned her out, be she blonde, brunette or non-descript. No beauty doctor or dyer's art can change the leopard's spots without hazard of betrayal. Making faces as an aid to beauty is the latest wrinkle, or rather, the latest device for taking out wrinkles. One who professes to be an authority says that if a person makes faces at himself with intelligent discrimination as to the kind of faces made, hollow eyes, sunken cheeks and thin noses can be caused to disappear, and in their places will come plumpness and good color. This may be why angel-faced children are so charming—small boys and girls make faces enough, either when they cry or out of pure mischief, to supply beauty for a whole ladies' seminary. Two hundred college professors have applied for retirement on pension under the provisions of the Carnegie foundation of ten million dollars for their relief. The trustees of the fund have lately decided that the minimum pension shall be eight hundred dollars, but not to exceed four-fifths of the salary paid at time of retirement, and that the maximum shall be three thousand dollars. As the annual income from the fund will be about half a million dollars, there will be enough to take care of all the old professors in the colleges eligible to its benefits. This includes all non-sectarian institutions of college rank. The old age of many a worthy man will be made easy and pleasant by this great benefaction Quick recognition of his heroic qualities has come to Prof. Matteucci, the director of the royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius, who remained at his post during the recent terrific eruption, and made a record of the progress of the event. Within less than a week of the height of the volcanic activity, and before all danger had passed, King Victor Emmanuel conferred on the professor the rank of commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy, the most highly prized decoration for courage within the gift of the king. None but a man of great hardihood could have had the bravery to remain at his post on the slope of the mountain while streams of lava flowed down its sides and red-hot ashes fell from the sky. After Russia Germany is the richest country in children. For every 10,000 inhabitants there are 363 living births a year, as against only 226 in France. Hence the increase of population in Germany is correspondingly great. In the course of the nineteenth century the population within the present territory of the empire has much more than doubled in spite of the considerable numbers of Germans who have emigrated during this time. In 1816 there were 24,400,000 souls in the territory of the present empire, while in 1900 there were 56,300,000, which corresponds to a yearly average increase of 1 per cent, while more than 5,000,000 Germans have emigrated from their homes during the nineteenth century. In order to measure the meaning of these figures we must compare them with those of a country like France, which is practically stationary in its population. In the middle of the century there were as many people in France as in Germany. In 1845 there were in Germany 34,400,000, in France 34,500,000, while in 1820 France had nearly 4,000,000 more than Germany. To-day the French population has risen only to 35,500,000 and is therefore more than 20,000,000 behind Germany. Speaking of national anthems, Sir Edward Elgar, the foremost of English composers, says "Rubbish!" The rhyme, the sentiment and in most instances the music, he says, are "vile." His point is that the people have never called a fine anthem into being as a direct response to their national feelings and aspirations. Even if they have a good tune for their anthem, he says, it is likely to be borrowed from somebody else. All this may be true—from the musician's standpoint. But it is well to bear in mind that patriotic songs are not written for musicians. And it is worth while to note that few patriotic songs of any consequence were ever written by musicians. It may be true that the national anthems fall short of being real music. But it must be taken into consideration that they are also far more than mere music. If their music formed the sole appeal to popularity they would not be national songs at all. A skilled musical composer is the last man fit to criticise the songs of the heart. As well might a cultured critic seek to analyze and condemn a love-words and lullabies. Highly refined language and music strictly according to nice rules do very well in transmitting the little, elusive emotions and in gilding the commonplace; but a great passion impetuously finds its own direct way of expression. The man who has heard the soldier bands play "The Star Spangled Banner" at sunset after the last day of a battle, while the beaten enemy was lurking in his trenches only a little distance away, will need no musician to interpret to him the message or to tell him if it is melody. Musicians, and especially musical composers, are the last to bring themselves to understand the popular sentiment about music. How shrunken and pitiful a thing, how hollow a delusion, is the so-called success of self-absorbed men and women! Like that soldier who, when Galerius sacked the camp of the Persians, found a bag of shining leather filled with pearls and carefully preserved the bag but threw away the contents, they will find that they have spurned true riches, real success, to hug to their hearts things that are false and worthless. Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. Many a poor cripple who struggled under his handicap, doing his best to make himself useful, trying to reflect a little sunshine in the darkness and to make a home a little brighter, but never expecting special recognition here or hereafter, will be surprised to find his name written in letters of unfading light high above that of a nation's conqueror. When the genius of true history unrolls the scroll of earth's real benefactors it will be found that many who stand highest on the list were hardly recognized during their lives. The name of many a servant will be above that of his master. Mnay a humble employee will be found to have been in reality more successful than the proprietor of the establishment in which he worked. True human history will be enriched with the story, not of the useless prince, but of the unknown boy who remained on the farm, helped to pay the mortgage and stifled his own ambition, in order that the favorite brother might be sent to college, and thus scored a higher success than the renowned one for whom the sacrifice was made. The girl who smothered her longings for a higher education, or sacrificed the prospects for marriage and a home of her own, in order to take care of her aged parents, and was never known outside the little circle of a few friends, will loom larger and brighter in the true record of human forces than the sister who went to college and became a great author, musician, artist or actress. Who can estimate what the world owes to those who, according to the ordinary standards of success, have failed? Who can compute the debt of civilization to the men and women who, in their efforts to make the world a little brighter, a little better place in which to love, have been too busy to make money or to achieve fame? Put Him to a Real Test. "That man is so honest he wouldn't steal a pin," said the admiring friend. "I never thought much of the pin test," answered Miss Cayenne. "Try him with an umbrella."—Washington Star. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Florence Steam Laundry THE GOOD ONE Established 1890.

IT'S a poor kind of a barber who cannot make up a passable prophet to-day. I Hypocrites usually burst their borrowed hides by overloading their stomachs. but only by the strife-makers. Fear the fortune that makes you forget your God. They who seek God's work find God in their world. God does not furnish foundations on which to rest, but ones on which to build. When a man gets red cobwebs on his cheeks the world takes him at his face value. There is no use in a thing being touching unless it have a purpose in teaching. The greed of one church does not promote the glory of the Lord of all the churches. Facility in sentencing others is often offered as a substitute for our own fidelity in service. The man with a large sense of his own importance is likely to be distinguished for general impotence. NO ONE EVER STARVES. This Was Asserted by a Doctor Who Died After Fasting. Dr. Richard A. Terhune, the dean of the physicians of Passaic, N. J., by whom he was always spoken of affectionately as "Doctor Dick," died there of intestinal cancer. He had not eaten anything for over a month, and to the last bantered his brother practitioners on the fact that he was a living example of his pet theory that no one would die of starvation if he had plenty of water to drink, says the New York Times. Dr. Terhune had always declared, and would argue on the subject whenever he had an opportunity, that persons who had died of what is called starvation were really the victims of fright, and had simply died because they were afraid they would and not from lack of food. The aged physician, who was a stalwart man, became ill about seven months ago. He speedily diagnosed his aliment as intestinal cancer, and gave out a fatal prognosis of his own case. All the Passacic physicians and scores more from the neighboring towns and cities called on him in the months of his illness, and many suggestions as to treatment were made to him. He turned a deaf ear to all and only employed such palliative measures as suggested themselves to himself and his son, Dr. Percy A. Terhune. About five weeks ago, "Doctor Dick" found that he could no longer retain food, and he gave up eating. Since that time nothing had passed his lips except water, and now and then a little medicine. On Saturday night several physicians dropped in to see him, and he took the opportunity to enlarge upon his non-starvation theory. "You see," he began, with a smile, "I cannot retain anything but water, and yet I am strong and able to move freely about in bed. I am proving my old theory that no one ever really dies of hunger. So-called death from hunger is simply due to terror, if there is plenty of water to be had. "I will call to your attention the case of a young girl that came under my own observation. She was ill with a disease which was pronounced incurable by skilled physicians. That girl did not eat anything for forty-eight days except half a soda cracker a day. Did she die? Not a bit of it. On the contrary, she got entirely well, and in the forty-eight days when she did not eat she pursued the even tenor of her way, went to parties and danced, too. "You know very well that doctors don't know so very much, after all," continued the old physician, shaking an admonishing finger at his auditors. "Nature does the work and we get the credit." After bidding good-night to his callers, "Doctor Dick" went quietly to sleep and died at 4:30 o'clock the next morning. **Speaking as a Husband.** The ponderous statesman was at home, and, according to the Washington Star, talking over his speech of the evening with his wife. "I know," he said, "that in the course of my remarks on the revision of the tariff I said some things which were not generally understood." "How do you know that?" his wife asked. "Because," he said, dropping his voice to a whisper, "I don't understand them myself." The following conversation occurred after a recent trial in a county court: "You say dey sent him up fer ten years?" "My, my!" the old darky exclaimed. "EF he'd had six, sed 'd a give him a lifetime!"—Atlanta Constitution. We never like to see special trains carrying officials the same month that the pay if section hands has been reduced.

STARLING PRINTING TRADERS MARKET COUNTER WESTERN WAREHOUSE AN ATTACK ON THE ESTABLISHED ORDER. Mr. Raymond Robins' plea for a new civic industrial conscience is easily explained by the life and work of the speaker. He is brought into contact with the unemployed, the wretchedly poor, unfortunates who are reduced to desperate straits. He sees the possessors of superfluous wealth adding to their capital by questionable means, revealing on the one hand an insatiable greed for more and on the other a wasteful expenditure which brings costly luxuries to a few, while the many are on the verge of starvation or living from hand to mouth. This contrast is not peculiar to our country or times, and it may be granted that in times past the condition of the masses was worse than it is now. But that is not to prove that a bad condition should be tolerated, and it is a fortunate thing that the contrast is acutely felt by constantly increasing numbers of people, and that men like Mr. Robins are proclaiming the revolt against it by their protests. This is true, also, in spite of the exaggerations that sometimes flare up in the protests. For so long as the cause persists the revolt will spread, and safety lies in open discussion. Friends of the established order woul do well if they recognized that fact and prepared their minds for revolutionary social changes in the future. But whether they prepare themselves or not, the changes are certain to occur. For as the intelligence of the great majority of the producers of wealth broadens and their power increases their demands will become more and more effective, while chance and greed will become less and less important factors in determining the distribution of wealth. SUGAR BEETS IN GERMANY. Consul-General Thackara supplies a valuable report on German scientific methods of securing the highest unit value for every particle of the sugar beet. The tops, residue pulp and even the mud remaining after washing the beets are all utilized for various purposes. Americans have been equally successful in the close utilization of the cotton seed and are as fully capable of developing the fullest economies in handling the sugar beet. America now pays to foreign nations over $90,000,000 annually for sugar, which Mr. Thackara thinks could be largely saved by the extension and scientific handling of the sugar beet crop, benefiting also the farmers and their land. Great numbers of vast fortunes in this country have been and are being built up on the very ignorance of the masses in regard to business methods, says Success. The schemers bank on it that it is easy to swindle people who do not know how to protect their property. They thrive on the ignorance of their fellows. They know that a shrewd advertisement, a cunningly worded circular, a hypnotic appeal will bring the hard earnings of these unsuspecting people out of hiding places into their own coffers. In New York the other day a man was sentenced to six months in prison for carrying a pistol. That is one good way in which to keep from encouraging the people who carry guns. Of course those Boston ladies who have organized an insurance company which is to pay a premium whenever the stork arrives will strenuously support the Republican ticket. Henry Watterson has started a joke column in his paper. Banzal! Since even the colonel is able to take a cheerful view of things why should gloom be anywhere? THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON EDITORIALS Opinions of Great Papers on Important Subjects. --- SONGS OF THE NATION. DARDS of education in three Western cities have required that every pupil who enters the high school must be able to repeat the words of several patriotic songs, such as "My Country 'Tis of Thee," "Hall Columbia" and "The Star Spangled Banner." Excellent! It is a crying shame that not one in ten of the average American audience is able to repeat or sing all of the stanzas of "America." An exchange tells of a patriotic Sunday school superintendent who was surprised to find that the national hymn was not contained in the book used in his school. He requested the children to sing it from memory. They got through the first stanza and then faltered. And the adults present were unable to lend them much assistance. This incident is typical. Do you suppose any company of Germans would fail to sing every line of "Die Wacht Am Rhine?" Or could you imagine any audience of the French that would fall to remember a single word of the "Marsellallase"? The fault is with the schools. Youth is the time to learn the songs that are to abide in memory and the school is the place to teach them. It is possible to be patriotic without knowing either words or tune of the national songs. It is also possible to be patriotic without the flag. But the flag symbolizes patriotism. And the dearest traditions of the nation are forever wedded to both song and flag. "Old Glory" ought to be raised over every school house and the national songs should be taught in every public school—Kansas City World. HE quick and generous response of the country to the cry of distress from San Francisco is inspiring. It makes one proud that he is a citizen of such a country. The American people are a great people—as great in noble impulses and humane sympathy as in industrial and commercial en- ergy. We often hear it, and more often read it, that this is a land of mammon worshipers. We are told that the fierce, remorseless battle for gain has absorbed our mental faculties and made us sordid and unfeeling. Yet when a city far out on the Pacific coast is suddenly stricken and blighted we see these calloused and cold-hearted Americans rushing from every quarter to lay their savings at the feet of the sufferer. The Atlantic seaboard and the Middle West vie with the Pacific slope in sending prompt and liberal contributions. The rich, the well-to-do and the poor are mingling their gifts, and hundreds of cars of provisions and other necessaries will soon be speeding across the continent bearing relief to the unfortunates. It is grand, splendid, glorious! It gives the lie to the calumnies of the critics. It shows that however fast their business pace and however much they overtax their strength in the pursuit of wealth, the American people have human hearts in their bodies and a plentiful supply of the milk of human kindness.

BRITISH MOUNTED TROOPS IN CON THE WARS OF THE NORTH WEST BRITISH MOUNTED TROOPS IN CONFLICT WITH THE FIERCE ZULUS. Some time ago Bambaata, a native Zulu chief and formerly regent under the British for the Greytown district, in Natal, South Africa, revolted, and began a bush warfare against the whites. Many members of the British mounted police have been murdered and other native chiefs joined Bambaata's forces. A tax collecting party, headed by Magistrate Stalnbank and supported by a mounted column, was attacked at Mahlabitini, in Zulu land, and the magistrate and one of the mounted men were killed, the others of the party narrowly escaping with their lives. Ever since the revolt of Bambaata the mounted police have been in almost daily conflict with bands of Zulus, who after delivering a sudden attack will disappear in the forests or hide in the tall kaffir corn. All of South Africa is now seething with unrest, not only in English but in German territory, and the doctrine of Africa for the Africans is being blacks. The agitation is even extended and agents are busily engaged in against the white man's rule. The Zulus, a considerable number of revolt, are the fiercest native fighter and are close seconds to the Arabs' fanaticism. In the past they have waged wars against the English. It was struggles, in the 80's, that the Prince of the son of the last Napoleon, fell. In Zulus depended mainly upon their asses now many of them are armed with riot situation even more grave. If comes general, affecting the native much bloodshed in the dark continent. would be small, and in order to secure as little loss as possible from this condition the city closed a contract with the railway directors to furnish the yards and depots of several stations along the lines of the road with light and power for ten years. One of the coal mine companies operating in the district manufactures coke and has almost completed the erection of a large electric power plant to deliver electric current to cities and villages within reach. This company purposes to utilize the hot gases formed in the manufacture of coke to drive the dynamos of its plant. The coal and coke company can produce by this plan electric current for commercial purposes cheaply, and, as the plant will be an alternating current system, the firm is contracting to deliver it to important places at a distance. --- W B A SPLENDID PEOPLE. T POWER FROM COKE GASES. German City Contracts for Electric Current at a Low Rate. Current at a Low Rate. One of the problems confronting the city officials of Crefeld, Germany, in providing necessary improvements in the new harbor territory and the suburb Crefeld-Linn, adjoining, was the problem of furnishing these places with cheap electric light and power. The direct current generated at the city power house could not be utilized on account of the distance; hence the city would be compelled either to build and equip a new power house or to set up an alternating current machine and conduct the current to the place of consumption, about five miles away. The cost to the city would be great to adopt either plan. The consumption of current for the first few years structive floods or consuming flames wreck a thriving city or hamlet is the fine exhibition of generous sympathy that they call forth from the people of the nation.—Kansas City Journal. structive floods or consuming flames wreck a thriving city or hamlet is the fine exhibition of generous sympathy that they call forth from the people of the nation.—Kansas City Journal. THE EVOLUTION OF ILLUMINANTS. E have been going from bad to worse in the matter of illuminants. The old-time lamps that the wise virgins kept trimmed and burning were no doubt primitive and harmless, little jugs filled with oil or grease into which was inserted a spluttering wick, gave but little light, but enough to enable people to move about from place to place. There was nothing to read in those days and the eyes were not taxed. Then came the sconces with their wax or tallow dips and later the candelabra with their multiplied lights. The flambeau became popular for out of door lighting and Nero lit his gardens on one occasion by burning the bodies of fat Christians whom he charged with the burning of Rome after having fired it himself. There were no electric lights in those days and no gas jets. There were no pavements or sidewalks and the traveler attached a small lamp to one of his ankles to light him on the way. From this custom came the Spiritual phrase: "Thy word shall be a lamp unto my feet." The old poets who rhapsodized the brilliancy of the lights in halls on gala occasions had little to boast as compared with the system of lighting now in vogue. There was nothing that gave a better light than the American pine knot by the ald of which so many Americans in the early days educated themselves. Gas we have had for long and gas is bad enough on the eyes; but electricity, the product of only yesterday, is the evil genius. We are becoming a spectacled race and we may be on the road to total blindness as scientists claim, but we are not likely to abandon electric lighting.—Memphis News Schitar. TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT CONSUMPTION, or the white plague, as it is often called, has received more consideration of late than any other human disease. The fresh air cure is proving more effectual than anything else. Fresh, pure air, in unlimited quantities with sufficient daily exercise to insure full deep breathing is a sure preventive against this disease. In the early stages it may be entirely cured by sleeping in the open air. This brings the question of ventilation straight home to every one. More deaths are caused by consumption in some parts of the country than all other diseases combined. Probably ninety per cent of these deaths could be prevented by the liberal use of fresh air. The other ten per cent could be prevented by the proper care of those suffering with the disease. Consumption is purely contagious. It could be entirely stamped out if everyone would follow the simple rules of health as laid down by physicians who have made a thorough study of this terrible malady.—Farm, Field and Fireside. LICT WITH THE FIERCE ZULUS. of Africa for the Africans is being preached among the blacks. The agitation is even extending to the far north and agents are busily engaged in stirring up revolt against the white man's rule. The Zulus, a considerable number of whom are now in revolt, are the fiercest native fighters in South Africa and are close seconds to the Arabs of the Soudan in fanaticism. In the past they have waged many desperate wars against the English. It was in one of these struggles, in the 80's, that the Prince Imperial of France, the son of the last Napoleon, fell. In former wars the Zulus depended mainly upon their assegal, or spears, but now many of them are armed with rifles, which renders the situation even more grave. If the disaffection becomes general, affecting the native races, there will be much bloodshed in the dark continent in the near future. --- W C S The city of Crefeld has completed a contract with this company to have an electric current delivered supplying all its needs at a price much lower than the city could supply it and the city officials are rejoicing that the occasion presented itself to them at such an opportune time. The distance from the electric light plant to Crefeld Linn and the harbor territory is about ten miles, but the contract with the city is made to cover a large additional district, which is to get electric current cheaper than the plants in operation can make it under the old system.

THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Science AND Invention Commenting on Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment, which proved that lightning and electricity are the same, a scientist says: "It was one of the most brilliant examples of luck yet recorded. To attempt the extraction of lightning flashes from a lowering sky was almost suicidal. Even at this late day timid persons occasionally fly to feather beds, sit on glass-legged chairs, or find refuge in rubber boots during thunderstorms. A repetition of Franklin's experiment cost his immediate limitator his life." LIVINGSTON ONE OF THE BEST SALOONS IN LISTON. WM. GRABOW. Fine brands of all kinds of liquors. Wholesale dealer in Jos. Schilts Brewing. Milwaukee Lager Beer. Livingston, . . . . . M UNION MEAT MARK A. O. HASELER, Prop. CHOICEST FRESH AND SALT MI Emil Jung, a professor in the University of Geneva, says that snails perceive the odor of many substances, but only when not far away. In order to prove this it is necessary merely to dip a glass rod in a strongly smelling substance and bring it near the large tentacles of a snail in motion. If it is put close to these horns, the tentacles are violently drawn back. As the animal perceives the odor, it changes its course. Snails also smell by means of their skin. Contact is not necessary, for the mere vicinity of a perfume causes an indentation of the skin. An Englishman who is a large employer of labor has been investigating the arguments of those who say that a workingman under modern conditions becomes at an early age valueless. He has kept a record of all accidents that have incapacitated his men for three days and upward. The people engaged in his employment are from 15 to 65 years of age, and he asserts that more accidents occur to men under 30 than to those over 50. He says: "I would much rather intrust an exceptionally dangerous job to a man over 50 than to one of 30 years of age." Amateur entomologists will be interested in a suggestion by Dr. F. E. Luta for the preservation of all kinds of spiders' webs. The webs should be sprayed from an atomizer with artists' shellac, and then, if they are of the ordinary geometric form, pressed carefully against a glass plate, the supporting strands being at the same time severed. After the shellac has dried, the plates carrying the webs can be stored away in a cabinet. Even dome-shaped webs may be preserved, in their original form by spraying them with shellae and then allowing them to dry before removal from their supports. Many spiders' webs are very beautiful, and all are characteristic of the species to which they belong, so that their permanent preservation is very desirable. Prof. Silvanus P. Thompson, who recently visited the electric plant in Norway, where soil fertilizers are made direct from the atmosphere, describes the apparatus there used as differing from all others in that the flame of electric sparks is caused to move rapidly through the air instead of having the air blown over it. The result is the production of a much greater quantity of nitric oxid in a given time. The "flame disk," formed between the electrodes, swiftly expands and contracts, being now only half an inch and now six feet in diameter. To make nitrogen burn with oxygen, electric energy must be pumped in, because, whereas in ordinary combustion, such as occurs when carbon combines with oxygen, heat is given out, the formation of nitric oxid is an endothermic reaction; that is to say, heat is absorbed. Prof. Thompson estimates the nitrogen hanging over the city of London alone as considerably greater in quantity than all that is contained in the nitrate beds of Chill. CHURCH WITH SIXTEEN SIDES The curious structure shown in the cut is at Richmond, Vt, and it is one of the most peculiar church edifices in America. It is a sixteen-sided building, planned for union services held by sixteen denominations. It was built as long ago as 1813 on the south side of the Winooski River and is in an excellent state of preservation, having been constructed of hand-hewed timber. The building has not been used for public worship for over thirty years. Method. "No matter what opinion is offered, you express a contrary view," said the impatient friend. "Well," answered Mr. Bliggins, "that's a way I have of acquiring knowledge. A man is more likely to give up all he knows on a subject if you get him to warm up with a little controversial indignation."—Washington Star. "Dat's me old friend Judge Whelan." "Yer old friend!

Better Teaching of Three Rs. Another interesting test of the present-day methods of public school education as compared with the known results of teaching more than half a century ago, has recently been made at Cleveland, Ohio. According to the School Journal, lists of words and arithmetic examples contained in the examination papers of the Springfield (Mass.) high school in 1846, which were submitted to the ninth grade of the Springfield school in 1895, have now been tried in one Cleveland school. Following is the list of words: Accidental, accessible, baptism, chirography, characteristic, deceitfully, descendent, eccentric, evanescent, fierceness, feignedly, ghastliness, gnawed, heiless, hysterics, imbecility, inconceivable, inconvenience, inefficient, irresistible. The comparative results show that the pupils of 1846 answered 40.6 per cent of the words correctly, those of 1895 51.2 per cent, while the Cleveland pupils in this year of grace spelled 61.2 per cent correctly. In the case of the arithmetic papers, the percentage of correct replies for 1846 was 40.6, in Springfield last year it was 52.1, and in Cleveland school at the recent test was 87.5. Chairman Gary of the United States Steel Corporation says that the steel mill of this country will have no difficulty in supplying San Francisco with all the steel needed for rebuilding, as it will be six months before any large amount will be called for.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constituting a humming sound or imperfect hearing. The named condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. The result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

"It costs 10 cents a bunch to raise bananas and there is always sale for them at 30 cents a bunch. Three crops of corn can be raised a year and no cultivation is required. A man walks along and drops the corn in the footprints he makes and a native follows and covers the corn with his big toe. That is all there is to do until it is time to gather it."

One morning two young women entered the Saltville grocery, and after some discussion bought a pound of dates, two pounds of ginger snaps and two pounds of crackers. "Stopping at Miss Gray's?" Inquired the clerk, as he tied up the bundles. "Yes," said one of the young women with evident surprise. "Came about yesterday forenoon?" said the clerk. "How did you know?" asked the other young woman, curiously. "Um. Well, I can most generally tell," said the clerk, without glancing at the objects of his mind-reading, as he twisted a knot in the string. "You see, it's pretty drizzly and muddy today, and I knew there wouldn't be anybody's boarders but Miss Gray's feel the need of coming out here such weather; and long as you didn't come till today, I knew for sure you couldn't have been here more'n one day.

Jewelers, when watches are with them for repairs, are frequently insulted with the remak: "I trust there is no danger of crystals being substituted for the jewels in the works of my watch." For a great many persons think there are dishonest jewelers who make a practice, with "full-jewelled" watches, of substituting crystals for the jewels at an enormous profit. As a matter of fact, there is no truth in this suspicion. A jeweler, no matter how dishonest, could not steal the jewels in a watch, for they are valueless; they only cost 10 cents apiece. In antique watches the jewels were often costly. In modern watches they are never worth more than $15 a gross. It seems almost incredible that a deaf man should be one of the greatest masters of music, and almost beyond belief that Beethoven, the giant of composers, should have been afflicted with the loss of his hearing when he was but 30 years old, in the full zenith of his wonderful powers. 19 To many a man this a fiction would have closed the doors of achievement, but not so with the LUDWIG BEETHoven. not so with the wonderful musician. At first despondent when he had been assured by the best physicians that nothing could be done to help him, he refused to meet any one, as he could not bear the world to know that he had become deaf. It was then that he wrote: "It makes me sad to think that others can hear the notes of a far-flowe or a distant shepherd's song, and I cannot." But gradually his great nature conquered the blackness of his despair, and he went to work again with determination. Despite his deafness he determined to lead an orchestra in a symphony of his own. When the last note had died away the great audience was perfectly quiet for a moment. Then a storm of applause broke forth. Beethoven could not hear it, could not know that his symphony had pleased. The applause grew louder and louder. Finally one of the musicians touched Beethoven upon the arm. He turned and saw what he had not been able to hear. It was after he had become deaf that many of Beethoven's greatest compositions were written, a proof that by force of will alone a man may prove himself greater than circumstance. COOKING IN THE CHURCH. Meals Furnished for Occasions in Up-to-Date Houses of Worship. Light and heavy housekeeping as practiced in up-to-date churches is a revelation to the people who see it for the first time. The country visitor is apt to be shocked or delighted, according to temperament. Many conservative folk, including missionaries, rural pastors, and laymen, come to censure and remain to digest. Why shouldn't a church have a kitchen? What could be more practical? it is asked. There are clubrooms, libraries, and gymnasiums in churches nowadays, and people say it is quite proper to have a well-furnished kitchen capable of supplying after meeting refreshments and the solid meals of rarer occasions. In some churches the ecclesiastic kitchen gives forth a savory effluence three times a day. A cup of coffee hot from the urn often heartens the minister before he ascends the pulpit. Aged members of the congregation, weared by a long service, may be revived in the basement by a draught of steaming oolong. "It is a sign of progress," said an enthusiastic matron, who manages one church kitchen, the other day. "The food at festivals and sociables used to be a byword. Everything was cold, soggy and unetable. "People nibbled at things out of a sense of religious duty and went to a good restaurant afterward. Now the menu at any affair compares favorably with what you get outside. "A missionary to China said that our church reminded her of the Chinese temples which are used as hotels by travelers. Anybody out there may sleep and get his meals in the temple, which is often the only available public house. "Now, I think that speaks well for the Chinese and for ourselves. The church can never be made too popular and too useful. Religion ought not to be an enemy to modern improvements." "One good thing about church kitchens," said an uptown matron, "is that they permit us servant tyrannized folk to practice a little cookery. I could never dare to enter my kitchen at home and make experiments in cook's presence. But I can go to the church establishment and educate myself in all the departments of culinary art. Also one meets there ladies who have traveled and there is a chance to acquire the rudiments of cosmopolitan cookery." Revenge William H. Chase, the portrait painter, tells a story of the time when the late James McNell Whistler was at outs with the Royal Academy at London. About this time an admirer of Whistler in Pennsylvania wrote him requesting his autograph. The letter was sent in care of the academy. That institution took advantage of the opportunity offered to revenge itself for the alleged affronts put upon it by the caustic Whistler. The Pennsylvania's letter was returned to him some months later, through the dead letter office at Washington, and it bore on the envelope the word "Unknown," repeated as many times as space would allow—Washington Star. Rich Mine of Oak. A Russian timber dealer has discovered a valuable mine of oak. It exists in a river in south Russia and has lay- ERS three or four feet deep scattered over 150 square miles. Its most striking feature is its variety of colors, supposed to be due to the variegated soil of the river bottom. No fewer than twelve shades of pink, blue, yellow and brown have been noted, each log having its own uniform shade. The logs taken out have ranged from forty to 200 feet in length and from fifteen to twenty inches in diameter, and it is estimated that more than 150,000, averaging seventy feet, remain. JOLLY JOKER Proud of His English. "Ah, m how he is like his father! A chip DIFFICULT TO PROVE. Not Always Easy to Establish One's Identity. Paradoxical as it may seem, the most difficult thing to prove in a court of law is who you are. It is a simple matter if you have still living plenty of relatives of an older generation; but suppose your parents and uncles and aunts are dead, it becomes well-night impossible, says a writer in the New York World. As a matter of fact, your knowledge of your identity is absolutely hearsay. You know your father and mother called you their son, and to that fact you may testify if the question of your identity should ever come before a judge and jury. But the testimony goes before the jury with the warning from the judge that it is only hearsay, for you have no personal knowledge of the matter. Official town or parish records are valuable, but by no means conclusive. Suppose you are John Smith, son of Robert and Mary Smith, born at Albany on August 1, 1865. The record of births in the Bureau of Vital Statistics at Albany will prove that a son named John was born to Robert and Mary Smith on that date; the register of the church may prove that John, son of Robert and Mary Smith, was baptized on a certain date, but they do not prove that you are the John Smith, of whom these are records. To establish the connection between you and the person mentioned in the records, in other words to prove your own identity, is the difficulty. If your mother is alive she can do it; if any relative who has known you since you were born is alive he can do it. The successive suits for the estate of A. T. Stewart failed on such grounds as these. The plaintiffs, cousins of the late Mrs. Stewart, were unable to prove their relationship. It was necessary in one of these cases that a man should prove his late father and A. T. Stewart to have been brothers, but he had no personal knowledge of the matter; he had heard his father in Ireland refer to A. T. Stewart as his brother, but the court would not let him testify even to that, and, as the defendants denied the relationship, the case fell to the ground. The identity of a person becomes even harder of proof after he is dead. In the Royal Arcanum there are several hundred thousand dollars of death benefits tied up because of the inability of heirs to prove that the insured man is dead. Very often it is necessary to success in litigation over an estate to prove not only who were your parents, but who were your grandparents. Family Bibles, with the records therein, help out in this, but are not at all conclusive. Birth and marriage certificates are accepted as corroborative, but it requires quite a mass of such matter, together with at least some witnesses who can testify of their own personal knowledge, before a court will accept such a fact as proved to its satisfaction. PASSING OF FAMOUS HEN Had Laid 4,750 Eggs Before She Died at Age of 22. "Betsy," George Bradley's famous hen, known to poultry raisers all through Tennessee, is dead at the age of 22 years, and has been buried with honors befitting her career of usefulness. Betsy was one of a brood of chicks hatched on the day that Bradley's eldest son was born, nearly twenty-three years ago. By the date of the young man's birth the family established her age. Betsy was occasionally permitted to indulge her motherly instincts, upon which occasions she invariably brought into the world from a dozen to fifteen of the finest chicks that ever scratched gravel. When not engaged in motherly duties Betsy sometimes worked overtime and laid two eggs a day. As year after year passed without any appreciable difference in Betsy's strenuousity, she became the wonder of the country and the barnyard jewel of the Bradley family. It is estimated that during that time this industrious hen has laid 4,750 eggs and hatched 570 chickens. Over her grave Mr. Bradley will erect a headstone inscribed as follows: "Here lies laying Betsy. Born in 1883; died in 1905. She did many a fowl deed for those she loved. Peace to her bones—let them lay. May she lay again some other day." If the 4,750 eggs that Betsy laid during her nineteen years of faithful service were sold in the market at their present price they would realize $908.50. If her 570 chickens brought an average price of 30 cents they would represent a market value of $171. On this basis Betsy earned $1,070.50 for her owner before she retired from active duty and commenced to take life easy.—New York Herald.
