NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Brigadier General William Bolton is dead. The business of the Lewis and Clark exposition has been wound up. T. W. Davenport, of Silverton, Oregon, father of Cartoonist Davenport, is dead. Fifteen hundred copper miners at Calumet, Michigan, have had their wages voluntarily raised $2 per month. Four men were killed and two wounded in a battle between a sheriff's posse and bandits in Knott county, Kentucky. It has been charged that General Wood is drawing two salaries, one as governor and one as his regular pay in the army. The president says this is not so. A San Francisco woman has just secured a divorce on the ground that her husband had not spoken a word to her for eight years, although living in the same house. A Porto Rican merchant has sued Federal Judge Hunt, of Montana, for $100,000 damages. It is claimed that at the time the judge was governor of the island he was instrumental in ruining the merchant's business. Fire in a Buffalo, N. Y., planing mill destroyed $170,000 worth of property. The National Sculpture society is to establish an old age home for its members. The St. Paul is laying steel for its new Pacific coast extension. The work is being done in South Dakota. Judge James F. Tracey, of the Philippine Supreme court, will likely be the next vice governor of the islands. John D. Rockefeller says there is more good than bad in the world, and that everything is for good in the end. The Pennsylvania railroad has cut passenger rates to 2½ cents per mile. Mileage books will be issued at the rate of 2 cents per mile. The failure of the sultan to receive an ambassador instead of a minister is likely to be the cause of diplomatic differences between the United States and Turkey. Two transcontinental railway companies say they will shortly install theater cars on their trains in which plays will be given while the trains are in progress. Vast frauds have been unearthed in San Francisco's municipal affairs. Examination of public records show that there has been an extensive graft in letting contracts and that city payrolls have been padded. Truck workers in San Francisco have struck for more pay and shorter hours. Dowie says he will appeal from the recent decision of the court ousting him from control of Zion City. The Pacific Coast Steamship company is said to be considering the manning of its vessels with Indians. A grand jury will convene in Chicago August 6 for the purpose of taking testimony against the Standard Oil. Bryan says that he will announce the platform on which he will consent to be a presidential candidate August 30. The outbreak of cholera in various parts of the Philippines is due to the unusual number of flies in the islands, according to doctors there. Poverty has forced William H. Belcher, a fugitive from justice and former mayor of Paterson, N. J., to surrender to the authorities. A national conference on wireless elegraphy will convene at Berlin October 3. Practically every power of any importance will be represented. France is preparing to retire the guillotine. Revolutionists have cut the telegraph wires between St. Petersburg and the provinces. A clever French woman swindler has stolen a fortune in diamonds from a Madrid jeweler. Severe crop damage is reported from several points in Minnesota, North Dakota and Iowa, resulting from hail, rain and wind storms. DARK HOUR IN RUSSIA. New Mutinies Break Out as Fast as Others Are Suppressed. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—Nearly 3,000 sappers, sailors, pioneers and miners at Cronstadt mutinied about 11 o'clock last night. They planned to seize the forts and the bridge leading to Fort Cronstadt, but their plans were foiled by the precautions taken by the commander. After a severe fight the loyal troops opened fire on them with machine gun, and as they had no artillery available and the arsenal had been stripped before they could seize it, they had no alternative but surrender. A court martial began sitting this morning, and is sentencing the mutineers to death by hundreds. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—The crew of the armored cruiser Pamayat Azova mutinied off the Esthonian coast and is now in full possession of the ship, which has sailed northward in the direction of the Finnish gulf. Reval, Aug. 3.—The cruiser Pamayat Azova has arrived in the roadstead here in the possession of the loyal portion of her crew. One hundred and fifty of the mutineers have been sent ashore and imprisoned. The mutineers were overpowered by the loyal sailors while the ship was at sea. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—The crew of the Russian cruiser Asia, which was sent to Abo, has hoisted the red flag. The vessel has left in the direction of Sveaborg. The ministry of marine has confirmed the report that Admiral Birileff had gone to Helsingfors on board the school ship Asia, whose crew has mutinied. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—Military disorders have broken out at Reval. Details cannot be obtained. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—Although the mutinies at Sveaborg have been ended and the one at Cronstadt has been practically put down, the outlook is still black. The revolutionists, whose hands were suddenly forced by the premature rising at Sveaborg, apparently are undaunted at these initial reverses and intend to persist in their program of calling a general strike on Saturday or Monday. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—On the heels of the other bad news comes the startling statement that the emperor has finally refused to accept the conditions to which Premier Storypin aggrandizes his negotiations with Count Heydon, Alexander Guchkoff, Prince Nicholas Lvcoff, Paul Vinogradoff and Senator Koni for the reorganization of the cabinet. There is an increasing apprehension that the emperor purposes to take the final step of turning the country over to the military dictatorship of Grand Duke Nicholas. The Streets of St. Petersburg are again filled with patrols. ISLANDS' RICE IMPORTS SMALL. Ide Says They Produce More, Merchants They Eat Less. Manila, Aug. 3.—Governor Ide has received reports stating that during the fiscal year ending June 30 the importations of rice to the Philippines decreased 61,072,411 pounds, valued at $3,084,783 in gold. Commenting on the reports Governor Ide says: "From these reports it appears that the number of pounds of rice imported into the Philippines during the fiscal year of 1906 was something less than three-sevenths of the importations of 1901, and the cash sent out from the islands for rice was less than four-elevenths of the sum sent in 1894. If the same ratio of decrease for a year or even a semester, no more rice will be imported and in two years the islands, besides supplying the home demand, ought to be exporting rice." The publication of these reports has caused a controversy. The local shippers contend that the decrease of importations is a result of the poverty of the people, who, it is alleged, are not buying rice, but are living on yams and other food. The shippers declare that the Philippines will never export rice. Catholics for Limited Divorce. Buffalo, Aug. 3. -At today's meeting of the American Federation of Catholics a resolution was adopted defining the position of the federation on the question of divorce. It recommends the enactment of laws granting a separation or limited divorce in those states which have no such laws, and in states which grant absolute divorces the federation asks that the applicant be allowed to ask for a limited divorce on the same grounds under which an absolute divorce is granted. Limited divorce in extreme cases is recommended. Wilson Will Surprise Packers. Washington, Aug. 3.—Secretary Wilson left today to pay a surprise visit of inspection to several slaughtering and packing houses in the East. Upon leaving his office the secretary gave instructions that to all inquiries regarding him the answer should be that he is gone away and it is not known when he would return. MAY EXPEL EUROPE Paris Paper Fears South American Trade May Be Lost. CALLS ON FRANCE TO WATCH ROOT Paris, Aug. 2.—The Liberte of Wednesday night, under the caption of "Victims of the Monroe Doctrine," printed a long and vigorous article on Secretary of State Root and the Pan-American congress. It taunts the French press for grudgingly printing a paragraph about Mr. Root's toasting South America between a list of contestants in a recent swimming match and the names of meritorious agriculturists. It ironically quotes an editor, who said that foreign politics are not sufficiently Parisian to interest the elite public and then twits the leaders of the republic with making the question of conferring the decoration of the Legion of Honor on Sarah Bernhardt the principal affair of state and tacitly asking why they should worry over South Americans, who interest Parisians only in vaudeville. All this time, says the Liberte, Mr. Root was preparing, if he had not already made effective, the most redoubtable operation in political economics, of which the French will be dupes and with them all other Latin people, who, imitating them, try to be Parisians. The results of ten years of intrigue in Pan-America are likely to be effective soon. Europe has already been expelled from North America, and she will be expelled from South America in less than six years unless there is energetic resistance immediately. Continuing the paper says that a few facts today are startlingly clear. Among them is the fact that Europe has no right to defend her financial and commercial interests in South America, the United States saying in effect that each nation is master of its own home with the United States at home everywhere. Against 73,000,000 Latin people stood Secretary Root and to that Yankee intruder went favors and benefits because he alone spoke, flattered and menaced. He was arrested while Latin Europe abstained. Already distant lands have slipped into Yankee hands, while at Constantinople, St. Petersburg, Tokio and Algeciras the same Root intervened at his convenience and Europe stupidly respected the Monroe doctrine. Before the conclusion of the third Pan-American congress it will have cost the Latin peoples a continent they peopled and financed. MUTINY SPREADS TO FLEET. Ships Go to Aid of Forts, Which May Have Given Up. Viborg, Aug. 2.—It is reported here that the Russian fleet, stationed at Hango, Finland, has mutinied, imprisoned the officers and sailed to the assistance of the mutineers at Sveaborg. Helsingfors, Aug. 2.—At 7 o'clock last evening the battleship Czarevitch and the cruiser Bogatyr opened fire on the mutineers at a distance of 50 cable lengths. The mutineers replied, but their shots seemed to fall short. The firing ceased at 9 o'clock and the boats were then seen leaving the islands with wounded. Helsingfors, Aug. 2.—he latest news from the fortress tends to confirm a previous report that the mutineers have surrendered. The mutineers had the upper hand until the battleships arrived and began to bombard them with telling effect. The men were undoubtedly led to surrender because of their lack of big guns, their need of provisions, which they had failed to secure, and the arrival of the warships. Reinforcements have arrived here and have been hurried to effective positions. Jeers for Dr. Devine San Francisco, Aug. 2.—A banquet was given to Dr. Devine, the national Red Cross representative who had charge of the relief work here after the fire and who is about to return to his home in the East. A number of the discontented persons who are living in the refuge camps took advantage of the occasion to work up a demonstration against the methods of the relief commission, and as a result a throng of people gathered at Union square in front of the St. Francis hotel, where the banquet was he'd. Rebels Steal Machine Gun. St. Petersburg, Aug. 2.—A machine gun was stolen last night from an arms factory in the Varsi Ostrov district of this city. It is suspected that the robbery was committed with cognizance of the sent nels on duty at the factory. At a secret meeting last night of the Putilow works employees, a spy was discovered and killed. NO. 15. LOSS BY DISASTER. Insurance Companies Make Returns in San Francisco. Albany, N. Y., July 31.—State Superintendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey tonight made public the results of his investigation as to the losses of fire insurance companies in the San Francisco disaster. All joint stock fire and inland marine insurance companies transacting business in the state we called on for a sworn statement as to their losses in California. The companies were asked for the grossamount of insurance involved in risks destroyed or damaged, the deduction for amounts recovered by reinsurance, the deduction for estimated salvage, the total deduction and the net amount of loss as shown by the records June 30, 1908. The New York state companies, 47 in number, how the gross amount of insurance involved as $41,110,069; the reinsurance to be recovered, $10,834,-195; the estimated salvage, $7,137,183, and the actual amount of loss $23,138,-000. Returns from other joint stock fire and fire marine insurance companies, 84 in number, show the gross amount of insurance $80,423,704; reinsurance to be recovered, $22,130,167; estimated salvage, $11,158,25; actual amount of loss, $51,983,111. The foreign companies, 32 in number, made these returns: Gross insurance involved, $101,430,533; reinsurance to be recovered, $22,818,808; estimated salvage, $153,18,859; actual loss, $57,-701,856. The gross amount of insurance involved by all companies was $222,836,-307; reinsurance, $65,246,771; salvage, $33,814,468, and actual loss, $132,-823,067. TIE-UP IS NOW COMPLETE. Kruttschmitt Forbids More Freight Cars in San Francisco. San Francisco, July 31.—The embargo of the Southern Pacific on lumber, lime and hay has been increased, and now includes all articles from the north. Not a pound of freight can be shipped into San Francisco from Portland or adjacent territory until the freight tie-up at San Francisco has been loosened. This is the latest edict of Julius Kruttschmitt, who has been threatening to do this for some time unless the situation speedily cleared. It has been decided by the local authorities to take no further chances but to stop at once all shipments from the north. For the embargo there is only one remedy to clear the situation in the freight yards. Efforts in this direction are being made by all the freight agents, and the missionary work among the consigneees is having a salutary effect. The unloading in the yards is going on at a faster rate, but not fast enough to suit Kruttschmitt, who has taken the precaution to see that no more cars are added to the glut that is already crowding the tracks. The tie-up is working to the detriment of the city, as many merchants throughout the state are sending East for their goods instead of patronizing the wholesalers of San Francisco, believing that they can secure their stocks just as quickly under present conditions. ARREST CAUSES MUTINY. Battalion of Russian Troops Attempts to Rescue Prisoners. Poltava, July 31.—A grave outbreak occurred yesterday in the Sevsky regiment owing to the arrest of a private of the First battalion, who was discovered with some other soldiers in a shed where the revolutionists are in the habit of holding meetings. After the arrest the entire First battalion, accompanied by a large crowd, paraded the streets in defiance of the military authorities. The soldiers proceeded to the artillery barracks, where they seized several guns and marched with them to the prison, where the political prisoners are confined. At this stage all the remainder of the Poltava grarison was called out. The loyal troops fired on the mutineers with machine guns as they were engaged in breaking nown the gate of the prison. Several men were killed or wounded. The outbreak was not suppressed until 2 o'clock this morning. Patent Office Behind. Washington, July 31. -Patent attorneys throughout the country are arranging to send a delegation to see President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and request him to either remove Commissioner Allen or cause such change in methods as will place the patent office on a satisfactory basis. The work of the patent office, attorneys declare, has been running behind since the appointment of Mr. Allen, five years ago. There are now 23,000 applications for patents unacted upon, besides numerous, copyrights, trade maks, etc. Viborg Manifesto Seized. Kharkov, July 31.—The authorities have seized copies of the Viborg manifesto issued by the outlawed parliament to the weight of 400 pounds which have been surreptitiously shipped into Kharkov. Topics of the Times No use trying to acquire the balloon habit unless you are bigh minded. “We fear no quakes,” Is the new motto of the city of San Francisco. ‘The best sermon Is the one that goes ‘over your own head and bits the other fellow.

Whatever may be sald of the languor of royalty in general, no charge of \dle- hess can be brought against that ener- getlc young man, the Duke of Abruzzi. Two or three years ago he was far up In the frozen north seeking the pole, and If memory be not at fault he attained the highest _ latitude achieved by polar explorers, Just now he Is in the heart of equatorial Africa, bent upon scaling the highest peak on the continent, What he will do next Is only to be guessed at, but his history thus far warrants the prediction that the future will not find him “loafing around the throne.” He 1s too vivacious for that. Interest in the protection of bird life has spread rapidly in the United States. A number of States have enacted laws making it unlawful to trim hats with birds or wings. ‘The wanton killing had reached a point where American birds were actually In danger of extermina- tion, ‘The great majority of women whose love of display had led them to purchase bird-trimmed hats have Joined in the movement when the wholesale slaughter has been brought to their attention. Not alone on esthetic grounds should the birds be protected. They are with few exceptions useful friends of the farmers. Agriculturists, too prone to note the grain stolen and the frult pecked by little bills, give no credit for the myriads of Insect pests festroyed by the feathered marauders. They see the small damage, but over- look the great good done by the birds. If the horrors of Bialystok are per. mitted or condoned by the present Rus. sian government on the theory that they will serve In the eyes of the world ‘@s an excuse for the use of more re pression and perhaps the prorogation of parliament, it will find Itself in error too late. The civilized world stands to-day horror stricken, but Its condem- nation centers upon a regime that ally proving its moral callousness and ‘Its utter incompetence to carry on the business of a modern State. It Is sald that the British foreign office is being petitioned to make representations to the Russian government on this world: disturbing subject. It is not likely that international diplomatic etiquette will permit such action ; but If it can be tak en, the American people will wish to have its government add its influence also. It 1s @ disgrace to civilization that such outrages should be permited. Nothing could be more essentially an- arcbical than the polley or arbitrary want of policy which seems to charac terize the present Russian administra tion, It 1s a condition that cannot con. tinue and will be ended, it now seems probable, In the throes of revolution History has never recorded a more {tt competent handling of a great crisis than that of the weakling Czar and his reactionary court. ‘The accredited maxims all spur men to labor. The books are full of illus- trious examples of the value of inces- sant toll. What we need is more of the gospel of rest. Interest in work, the desire to be constantly doing, love of industry for its own sake or for Its re- wards keep many restlessly busy until nature calls a halt, and the man of ceaseless activity wears out and retires from the active scene. Yes; It Is “bet ter to wear out than rust out;” but a stop now and then for olling up lessens both the wear and the rust. There are sports that kill and there are labors, too, that destroy life. The prudent man will see to it that sufficient time Is allotted every day and every year to rest and rational enjoyment that Is recreative and life-giving. Stevenson wrote a gentle satire, containing much shrewd wisdom, entitled “An Apology for Idlers,” In which he says, among other equally good things: “Perpetual devotion to what a man calls bis bust- ness 18 only to be sustained by perpet- ual neglect of many other things. And it Is not by any means certain that a man’s business Is the most Important thing he has to do. To an tmpartlal estimate It will seem clear that many of the wisest, most virtuous and benef!- cial parts that are to be played upon the theater of life are filled by gratul- tous performers, and pass among the world as phases of idleness.” It Is re- freshing to listen now and then to s0 istinguished an apologist and exem- plar of Sdleness.

Literature of All Kinds Is Greatly im Demand There, Australasia is In a peculiar position so far as her literature 1s concerned, says the Review of Reviews. Owing to the fact that English 1s the language spoken, the reading public can obtain Sts supplies from three quite independ- ent and distinct sources—from Great Britain, frem the United States, and from local sources. The nesult th Anne moressy are tHE Breatest readers on the face of the globe, and New Zealand- ers are even more 80. Periodicals and other publications are untaxed, and the copyright laws are little understood and less enforced, so that on a typical Aus- tralian bookstall the most cosmopolitan conglomeration of literature Imagina- ble can be seen, Australla, belng so far from the rest of the English-speaking worhl, has to rely upon local effort for her daily and weekly=publications. In this fleld Aus- trallans have shown that they can bring out newspapers which can bear a most favorable comparison with similar pub- Mcations either In Great Britain or America. The same may be said of the weeklies. It is in magazines and books that the torrent of outside litera- ture has been too great to allow of much local production, ‘The inhabitants of Australia number only 4,000,000, Had these been scat- tered over the huge continent, almost as large as the United States, no dally paper of any size could have existed. It happens, however—unfortunately, perhaps, for Australla—that more than one-quarter of the people live in two large cities, and a large portion of the remainder in four or five large towns. ‘The dally paper, therefore, has almost as large a constituency as any publish- ed for the teeming millions of America anh Ginet Belialn.. She Knew the Author, It was only natural that in the Beecher family the name of Mrs. Har- riet Beecher Stowe was often quoted to the younger generation as one hav- ing authority. On one occasion a grandnlece of Mrs. Stowe became very angry at one of her ttle playmates and, stamping her foot, said: “I hate you and I don't want ‘anything more to do with you, nor your man servant nor your mald servant nor your ox nor your ass.” Her mother, hearing the outburst, sternly reproved her offspring, asking ‘her if she knew what she was saying. Little Miss Beecher promptly replied : “Yes, the ten commandments.” “Well, do you know who wrote them?” ‘The child looking much disgusted an. swered: “Goodness, yes!

Rich Aunt—You only visit me when you want money. Spendthrift—Well, I couldn't come much oftener, could I? Rome is the great mecca of the foreign tourist. In travelling there by rail from Naples it is wise to go first-class, for on this particular journey the best is none too good. There is a general bleakness about the countryside that depresses the spirits, for this old lonely, desolate Campagna district is a desolate place with fever-smutten marshes. The sheep graze drowsily, the oxen are cumbrous and slow, and the wagons move on creaking wheels. The long line of aqueducts comes into view, and two miles from the gates of Rome, upon the Applan way, is the famous battlemented tomb of Cecella Metella, which has successfully defied time and decay. Far away are viewed the high peaks of the Apennines, and ahead, massive, mighty, crowning grandly the Eternal City, is St. Peter's stately cupola, with its bright bronze ball above it. This wonderful church is Rome's great historic shrine. It stands at the end of a narrow street, having a large courtyard with an obelisk and fountain. It is too big for convenient sight, big without, big within, EXTERIOR OF THE COLISEUM. and size is the keynote to the architecture. Even in the midst of the crowded city its magnitude weighs down the mind. But is is not too big to be intensely interesting, nor yet too big for the spectator to revel in its grandeur, which is as wonderful and mightily mysterious as that of some great forest which the hands of God have built with a labor of centuries. It is a far climb to the bronze ball above the dome and the high outside galleries. The view from the inner galleries is marvelous. The shafts of sunshine coming in the window gleam upon the marble pillars, and add another glory to that of the old mosales of the dome. The famous Swiss guards protect entrance to the Vatican, with its loggia, picture galleries and museum of sculpture, the room of Apollo Belvedere, the mosaic factory, the library and the Sistine chapel, where Michael Angelos "Last Judgment," is. All this conveys a sense of awe amid the shadow of great history. The Forum lies in a hollow between the Capitoline, the Palatine and the FREQUENT Rich Aunt—You only visit me Spendthrift—Well, I couldn't come TWO ANIMALS ARE IN ONE. Half of a Chameleon May Be Wide Awake and the Other Asleep. To all appearances and according to the researches of those best capable of forming an opinion on the subject the nervous centers in one lateral half of the chameleon go on independently of those on the other, and it has two lateral centers of perception—sensation and motion—besides the common one in which must reside the faculty of concentration. The eyes move independently of one another and convey separate impressions to their respective centers of perception. The consequence is that when the animal is agitated its movements resemble those of two animals or rather perhaps two halves of animals glued together. Each half wishes to go its own way and there is no concordance of action. The chameleon, therefore, is the only four-legged vertebrate that is unable to swim; it becomes so frightened when dropped into water that all faculty of Eastern hills. A bird s-eye view shows the Colonnade of the Twelve Gods, and the temples of Vespasian and Concordia, ralled in. Everywhere are seen ruins of magnificent temples, palaces and shrines, edifices recalling the most brilliant periods of imperial Rome. Rich old dwellings have here been recently unearthed. The Sancta Maria Antiqua, restored in 1902, with its gorgeous fresco decorations, is a unique monument of the Bryantine period. The Colosseum is a pathetic giant of a blood-stained past. Christian altars stand at the entrance through which the wild beasts used to rush to rend the martyr limb from limb. Near by, spanning the Sacred way, stands the Arch of Constantine to commemorate the beginning of a nobler era in Rome's history, when Christianity attained pre-eminence in the state. Next come the catacombs, 545 miles in length. Over a part of these is built the church of San Sebastiana, the oldest in the world. At a little distance is St. John Lateran, "Mother of Churches," where the tomb of Pope Plus IX. has just been placed. Here is found the holy stalcrase, that famous flight of twenty-eight marble steps brought to Rome from the house of Pilate at Jerusalem. The drive outside the city's walls is less attractive than it was a few years ago, before high apartment buildings were erected on the surrounding plain. For instance, at the Porta San Lorenzo one cannot see the Sabine hills. But the walls themselves are high, heavy, frowning, in spite of vines that overrun them and flowers that peep from out their crevices—sufficiently impressive, even as walls of mighty Rome. At every gate is found a famous road, which opens a new vista of association. At the Porta Salaro the road leads into the country of the Sabines. At the Porta Pla memorial tablets mark the spot where the breach in the walls was made when the Italians entered here in 1870. At the Porta San Lorenzo is the road which leads to Tivoli, of the wonderful water falls; and so on for almost every one of the thirteen gates of Rome. One could live a lifetime here, studying, enjoying, thinking, only to feel at last that acquaintance with the city was just beginning, even though ambition and profession was dilettante in place of scientific. Rome is as fascinating, as unfathomable, as full of surprises as a woman who has seen much and suffered much, yet has never lost her native faith in all things good. If it is appropriate that the feminine gender be used to designate any city, it is most appropriate that it be applied to Rome, Paris is feminine, Venice is ladylike, but Rome is womanly. She has the two good qualities of religion and motherhood, without which neither city nor woman can be said to have reached the full stature of beauty. ENOUGH. when you want money. much oftener, could I? concentration is lost and the creature tumbles about as if in a state of intoxication. When a chameleon is undisturbed every impulse to motion is referred to the proper tribunal and the whole organism acts in accordance with its decrees. The chameleon, moreover, may be fast asleep on one side and wide awake on the other. Cautiously approached at night with a candle so as not to awaken the whole animal at once, the eye turned toward the light will open, begin to move and the corresponding side to change color, whereas the other side will remain for a longer or shorter time in a torpid, motionless and unchanged state, with its eye fast shut.—Scientific American. The woman who lives a thousand miles from her kin can claim they are princes and princesses, but no woman living ten miles nearer should attempt it. Be sure that you have an aim in life before pulling the trigger. THE SEATTLE TRANSFER CO.

The men who worked up this agitation and brought about the recent labor troubles were not ac- quainted with local conditions, and: planned their campaign along lines found to work successfully elsewhere, but here there was no general dis- content among the carmen; they were at all times given every consideration that an employe could reasonably ask an employer, and, above all, they enjoyed the respect and confidence of the managers of the company, which fact in itself made an effective strike impossible. ‘There is no room in Portland for the professional labor agitator, for there are no dissatisfied workmen, and there will be none if all large employ- ers of labor seek to gain and retain the friendship and confidence of their employes. In the prompt and effective settle: ment of this trouble the public Is highly gratified, as a tie-up of the va- rious lines and possibly the closing down of the other enterprises operat- ed by the company would have done serious injury to the business of the city, as well as brought much incon- venience to the public generally. ‘The Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. should adopt the motto, “It pays to treat people right,” for it has given the most conspicuous dem- onstration of its virtue and value. ‘This was shown particularly during the recent attempt or threatened _ strike: most of the mon, though (ey had organized a union, refused to tie ‘up the car lines, Why? Because they were in the long run treated right my President Goode and Vice-President and Manager Fuller. We, in Portland, ought to be proud of a man who, like Mr. Goode, has ris. en to such a position. No man in New York, Boston, or any great city, has risen more rapidly or with, or for bet ter reason. As president of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, Mr. Goode not only proved himself quite equal to the task, but he laid aside other business of great importance and did the city and state, freely and with the utmost public spirit, a million dollars’ worth ‘of g00d, Look what this company {s doing for Portland and the surrounding country? Wonderful, ~ marvelous! Blectric lines everywhere around! Ter miles or more, safely, surely, for § cent. We think that the people whc have obtained these franchises, ever if they did thereby make some money did an immense invaluable good t¢ and for Portland and its suburbs. There has never been a greate piece of development of Portland ani the Pacific Northwest than the build ing and development of the Portlan¢ Railway, Light & Power Co. Why, th very name is suggestive, and true— ‘Water, Light & Power. Power mad and used through electricity and light by the intelligent use of water! Wor erful thing! But there is another element in th evolution of this tremendous strang power and force—that is, brains- business heads, The next legislature, now elected, and most of whose members are Re publicans, should consider carefully the election of a United States sena- tor. ‘The senatorship is an important ‘office. Oregon ought to send its big. gest and best men there. But Bourne—Jonathan Bourne— ‘wouldn't it be a disgrace and a dis. jnonor to the state to send that mar to the senate? | What is he? ‘A lawyer? No. He never could earn six'bits a month in legitimate law practice. / An orator?

SENATOR FULTON. Senator Fulton is a very capable, worthy man. He represents Oregon well. There is no need of making a change. Senator Fulton has “made good.” He is the right man in the right place and he is gaining, (deserv- edly, a national reputation as a states- man. Oregon needs such men in that post- tion, It should keep Fulton there term after term, for 30 years yet, if he lives and has his health that iong. This is good policy. Fulton is all right—he is a capable senator. He will continue to be. Keep him right there, elect a good “partner” for him to the senate, and Oregon will be all right. GOOD COUNCILMEN. Dan Kelliher, councilman from the Seventh ward, is-one of the best men ever elected to that position. He is a very fit man for the place, and is even worthy to be mayor—as he may ee IS REPUBLICAN PARTY FACING EXTINCTION? Roosevelt's Promised Retirement Causes Forebodings. a. a (From the New York Sun.) There are unmistakable signs that ‘the process of party disintegration ‘and realignment, of which we have had memorable examples in the ‘United States, is once more far ad- |vanced and irresistible. Once more, as in 1822 and 1854, a party’s culmi- [nating triumph has been followed by symptoms of swift decay and dissolu- tion. Events will soon determine |whether the Republican party is des- tined, like the Jeffersonian party in ,1824, or the Democratic party in 1860, to be.split into fragments or, like the pignicen neers Whig party, to become utterly extinct. Experience bas shown that party government is ‘necessary to the working of represen- |tative institutions: but, of course, 1 does not follow that a given party may not outlive its usefulness. When (that time comes, and the fig tree is ‘seen to be frreparably barren, the in- exorable flat is uttered from ‘the bal- lot box: “Cut it down! Why cumber- eth it the ground?” The history of the United States un- der the Constitution is strewn with the wrecks of political organizations once full of vitality and promise. It |would have seemed incredible to Al- exander Hamilton on.his deathbed had he been told that the Federalist party, jwhich had launched the national gov- ernment, which had lost the last prest- dential contest by only eight electoral votes, and would but for Hamiton himself have defeated Jefferson in the house of representatives, would in that year (1804) be able to muster only about a twelfth of the electoral votes for its candidate, and 16 years later would be impotent to carry a single state. How could Jefferson, see- ing the party created by himself, ex- alted to the pinnacle of victory when in 1820 the last member of the Vir- ginla dynasty got every electoral vote ut one, conceive or believe that with- in four years that party would be rent jinto factions pursuing irreconcilable aims and rancorously hostile to each other? How could It have been possi- ble for Henry Clay, who was to be so long the inspiration and the strength of the Whig party, when he beheld it sweep the country in 1840 by a majority of 174 electoral votes, to foresee that {t would hold together but little more than a decade, and that within a quarter of a centiry it would have become a memory? How "was It possible for Democrats in 1852, when Hunkers and Barnburners com: bined to bear Franklin Pierce to the "white House by the astounding ma. | jority of 212 electoral votes, to im: amine that within two years their par. ty would be so shattered by the Ne braska Dill that its implacable _ sec- tions would in 1860 hold two national ' conventions and put forward two rival , candidates? Yet, what Hamilton, ot Jefferson, or Henry Clay, or Franklin "Pierce could not have foretold at the dates named would have been patent to every onlooker a few years later » As history never repeats itself pre , cisely we cannot expect to find an ex act analogue to the existing situation “in any of the conditions to which we shave referred. There is, however, al |most as sharp a difference today’ be |tween those Republicans who accept \for their leaders Senator LaFollette lof Wisconsin, and Governor Cummins lof Iowa, and those whose accredited spokesmen are Senator Spooner ant ’ Senator Aldrich as there was betweer - “Conscience Whigs” and “Cottor , Whigs.” or between those Democrat: who advocated and those who opposed - with vehemence the repeal of the Mis , souri compromise. On the other hand the Republicans are still held togeth er by the force of a magnetic individ uality, as the Whigs were up to 1852 It is ‘unquestionably true that Theo ~ dore Roosevelt has come to personify . as Henry Clay personified, the ener gies and the hopes of his political or | ganization, Such a profess of incar THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON nation has its dangers. When Henry Clay died the country recognized that the Whig party had been eviscerated. Its vitals were gone. Men said to-one another at Clay's funeral: “Time was that when the brains were out the man would die." The Republican party will be lucky if the prospects of Mr. Roosevelt’s early retirement from public life do not excite similar forebodings. 3 | It is certain that if we look at states jwhich used to be accounted strong. holds of one party or another, we en- jcounter portents of party disintegra- tion such as were witnessed in 1854, Missouri was wrenched from the Dem- cratic column in 1904. On the other side, Ohio chose last year a Demo- ‘eratic governor, and even Pennsylva- nia elected a Democratic state treas- urer. In the last named state this year Democrats and Republican re formers have united-upon a ticket |which promises to be successful. Even in New Jersey, the populous counties of Hudson and Essex are honeycombed with revolt against the regular Republican organization. In the Empire commonwealth, nobody knows who will get the Republican nomination for the governorship, and no wise man wants it. The only kind of peace attainable between the fol- lowers of Higgins, Odell’and Platt is the kind preached by Joab to Abner |when he drove his knife under the (fifth rib. Besides, so long as Theodore Roosevelt stands aloof from the con- |test, who knows how much substance ‘there is left to the Republican party? |There are close observers in the city and up-state who allege that the ,Hearst propaganda has eaten deep into its bowels. If we try, on the lother hand, to forecast the course of \the Democratic party in this state we find ourselves equally at sea. The old parties are smitten with a wasting malady. All can see the disease; but where is the physician? There is no doubt that from the wel- ter of discord and mutiny a new po- litical order will ultimately be evolved. \But shall we have long to wait for it, as we waited when parties broke up in 1854? Or will it come quickly and decisively, as it might if Demo- crats should put forward a leader [possessed of Roosevelt's vitalizing personality? John Manning may be the next mayor. He is a strong, capable man— even if he is a Democrat. WILL OPEN DOOR. Baron Komura Says Japan Will Keep Treaty Pledges. Victoria, B. C., Aug. 1.—Baron K>- mura, recently appointed Japanese atn- baseador to Great Britain, arrived to- day by the Canadiav Pacific railroad steamer Emprees of Japan on his way to London, via Quebec, from where he sail by the Empress of Ireland on August 9. Baron Komora said with regard to Japanese action in Manchuria that tbe Japanese government would undoubted- ly carry out all the pledges made before and since the war to maintain ‘‘the open door’ in Manchuria. Regarding the eriticiem of foreign merchants, he said theee were due to impatience. The terme of occupation demanded that Japan adopt the measures now in vogue, but as goon as the military oceupation was ended and thie would be coon, ar- rangements would be mate to carry out the pledges regarding sn ‘“‘open door” policy. ‘True, the bulk of the army had been repatriated, but there was still a large force ia Manchuria. There was also Russian troops in occupation. While it wae not known definitely what Russia was doing regarding the with drawal, it was known that troops were steadily being withdrawn and it wae necessary that the Japanese military administration continue to occupy the country until the withdrawal was com- plete. “(Has Dalny been made a free port ‘and are other nations than Tapaneee re- stricted from trading via that port with Manchuria?” “That I cannot tell you,”” replied Baron Komura. ‘This much I can eay, though, the pledges made by Japan re garding Manchuria will be carried ont in every particular as soon as the term of oceupation by the military forces has expired.” Battleships in Collision. Newport, R. I., Aug. 1.—Rear Ad- miraf R. D, Evane, commanding the Atlantic fleet, received reports in detail today of a collision which occurred dur- ing a fog last night between the battle- ships Alabama and Illinois about eight miles eoutheast of Brenton's reef light. chip. The side of the Illinois wae scraped by the bow of the Alabama and several plates of the forward part of the Alabama were injured. It is also thought that one or more of the six- inch guns on the two battleships were damaged. Admiral Evans states that neither sbip was damaged below the water line, Not Bound Up in Red Tape.

The red pearls rank among the most valu- able. They posses a fine luster, and many of them are large and of the most perfect shape. They are, however, found only occasionally. Spiders are not always solitary crea- tures. A sclentist bas lately found in southern India a species of spider that bullds spongy nests with outlying webs, each nest being occupled by forty to 100 splders, with a large excess of females; sometimes five or six nests are cluster- ed together. ‘The spiders not only live and work togetiter, but they share with one another any prey that may be cap- tured, and some even show maternal affection approaching-self-sacrifice. A problem for the horticulturists 1s the production of a profitable rubber- bearing frult, which would make pos- sible an unlimited supply of valuable material without injury to the plants. The fruits of the ordinary plants con- tain little rubber, but Prof. Warburg, » German, points out that certain par- asitie plants—the caoutchoue mistletoes AUiscovered three years ago in Venezuela hold out the hope that the {deal fruit may be realized. ‘The caontchoue in some of these species amounts to one- fifth of the welght of the dried fruit. The fruit is uot large, but varies in size in the three groups of species of these mistietoes. The caoutehoue, ‘n- stead of being a milky Juice, is In the form of a solid envelope surrounding the seeds. ‘The common cold 1s now classed by some authorities among the diseases due to bacteria.

In the second and third eplde;tes re-infection sometimes secured, producing either a second acute cold or else a chronte cold last- Ing for months, and the bacillus was so virulent that {t killed inoculated mice, guinea pigs and even rabbits, Prof. Joel Stebbins and F. W. Car- penter of the University of Illinois have recently sueceeded in applying astronomical methods to the solution of @ hitherto wasolved problem of biol ogy. This relates to the height of the Aight of birds during their migrations at night, Two telescopes were placed at measured distances apart (from 10 to 21 feet), on an east and west line, and with them two observers simul- taneously watched the moon, The tracks of birds fiying across the face of the moon were noted by each ob- server Independently on a lunar chart, ready at bis side. The tracks, being projected from separate points of ob- servation, of course were not identical In position, and thelr distance apart’ furnisbed the basis for a calculation | of the “parallax” of the flying birds. Two sets of observations were made, in May and In October. The deduced heights above the ground varied from 1,400 to 5,400 fect. The last, however, was an extreme case, most of the meas- ures running from 1,500 to 2,500 or 8,000 feet. F. Doflein, a German naturalist, bas recently seen in Ceylon a species of ant, the Oecophylia smaragdina, In the act of “sewing” two leaves together for the purpose of forming a nest, ‘This observation confirms the report of the English naturalist, Ridley, made In 1890. Dofiein saw a row of the Insects pulling the edges of the leaves tog2th- er; then others trimmed and fitted the edges, and finally a seam was made by fastening the edges with a silky thread, yielded by larvae of the same species which the workers carried in thelr mandibles. He made a drawing Mustrating the method of working. According to Ridley, the sewing ants pass the thread-giving larvae like shut- tles through holes in the edges of the leaves.

If you cannot laugh, stay at home; if you can and want to laugh, come. The ladies of the Pastor's Aid society of Bethel church will give a musical at Mrs T. B. Hall's about the 10th of August. All are cordially invited. Rev. S. W. Hawkins, of Los Angeles, Cal., is in the city this week and called at The New Age office. He is one of our true race men, who is doing a great deal for the race. Mrs M. E. Gibbs entertained at her palacial residence on Tuesday a number of her friends. The parlors were beautifully decorated with sweet peas. The affair was thoroughly enjoyed. Wednesday evening the annual outing of New Northwest, Lodge No. 2554, and Household of Ruth, No. 844, G. U. O. of F., took the form of a moonlight excursion up the Columbia. At 9 o'clock the large and commodious steam Underline cast loose and accompanied by inspiring strains of music, furnished by Professor Van Houghton's orchestra, about two hundred of our leading citizens, as guests of the order, stood enraptured by the grandeur of the city and surroundings, as pictured by a flawless moonlight night. The boat swiftly glided down the Willamette and up the lordly Columbia, the various steamers met and passed showing their recognition by repeated blasts of their whistles,pling their searchlight on and in the path of the excursion boat, the occupants of which loudly cheered in response. The spacious dance hall was well filled with young people from start to finish, and the various committees spared no pains to see that all their guests enjoyed themselves. One feature that impressed all was the activity of the members of the Household of Ruth; not only did they serve behind the various refreshment tables but they officiated in the capacity of floor managers and reception committee in a manner to excite favorable comment from all. When the boat arrived at her wharf at 1 a. m., few there were who did not feel that time had fled all too swiftly and reluctantly bade adieu to the committee and an other success, social as well as financial, was added to the large number already achieved by the G. U. O. of O. F. in this city. A PROSPEROUS INSTITUTION. The very best indication of a community's growth and prosperity is shown by the character and standing of its financial institutions. Among the many solid and rapidly-growing banks of Portland will be found the Savings Bank of the Title Guarantee & Trust Co., whose deposits have been increasing at a rate little short of marvelous, which fact is undoubtedly due to the care and painstaking management of the company's affairs by its officers. At the annual meeting of the company, held on the 24th inst., the following officers were elected: J. Thorburn Ross, president; George H. Hill vice-president; T. T. Burkhart, treasurer; John E. Aitchison, secretary. HARDSHIPS OF OUR WOMEN. Mrs. Terrell Uphraids Their Foes, Ministers and White Women. (From the New York World.) It is an axiom that whatever the hardships and misfortunes of a race may be, they fall with greatest severity upon women, says Mary Church Terrell in the Nineteenth Century and After. The treatment accorded colored women in the United States is but another proof of this lished rule, the minister of the gospel hailing them. South stood in the puff of a New York church and declared not long ago that virtue in colored women is so rare that any consideration of it is futile. There are very few men of any race, no matter how low in the social scale they may be, who can be induced to give dam- aging evidence against the character of a woman, no matter how frail or friendless she may be nor how urgent the necessity that her unsavvy record be exposed. But this rule of chivalry usually observed by all men toward all women, and to which the South insists it is pledged, has not always protected colored women in the United States. In 1835 the president of the Missouri Press association sent an open letter to Miss Balgarnie, of England, well known for her interest in the colored people of the United States, which, with the exception of the slander recently uttered by the minister to whom reference has just been made, is probably the most unjustifiable and venomous attack ever made upon the womanhood of any race by a man. More than that, Southern white women who shine brilliantly in the galaxy of letters are not ashamed to prostitute their talent by publicly proclaiming their colored sister's immorality to the world in both the newspapers and leading periodicals of the North, while they gloat in ghoulish glee over her shame. It is difficult to understand how the women of any race, under any circumstances and for any reason whatever, could bring themselves to slander in so wanton, so wholesale and so cold-blooded a manner the womanhood of another race, particularly if those who wield the withering, blighting, character-assassinating pens are the daughters of parents responsible in the sight of God and men for the heredity and environment of the very women whose moral delinquencies they expose and assail. And so it happens that the very air which a colored girl breathes in that section where the majority live is heavy with traditions and accusations of the frailty of both her race and sex. Statistics, however, which have been compiled by white men themselves, show that in spite of the fateful heritage of slavery, in spite of the numerous pitfalls laid to entrap colored girls, and though the safeguards usually thrown around malediction youth and innocence are, in at least one section of this country, withheld from colored girls, immorality among colored women in the United States is not so great as among women similarly situated in at least five foreign lands. BIG CIRCUS COMING TO PORT LAND SOON. It's the Greatest That Ever Happened, Says Cheerful Press Agent. Striking an attitude very similar to that of Noah Webster discovering the unbridged, the press agent of the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros. circus has arrived in Portland with a halo composed of all the superlative adjectives known to the human tongue. His statements are as strong as Richard Harding Davis' opinion of himself, but he swears his big circus will deliver the goods in large packages this year, for the reason that it is a combination of the two greatest shows ever born in captivity. For instance, one of the coy statements of the advance man is to the effect that the "Forepaugh-Sells circus parade excels anything ever put on the streets." To quote a few more of his modest "It is a grand exhibition of royalty, aristocracy, soldierly and picturesque racial and national types. Three herds of marching elephants, caravans of Saharan camels, open dens of the rarest wild beasts, richly garbed attendants, gaily trapped horses, superb military bands, grotesque clown bands, singing minstrels, dancing galaxies, roystering youths, plantation singers, Japanese jugglers, stately juniors, smart cadets. Oriental beauties, Indian warriors, and so on and so on, are to be seen in this division of the colossal pageant. The flashing jewels, studded bridles, filigreed trappings, radiant cloth of gold and silver, waving plumes, shimmering shields, glistening emblems and heraldic devices make this superb spectacle a perfect sunburst of eye-pleasing grandeur." The big show will be in Portland for two days, August 20 and 21, giving afternoon and evening performances both days. MUTINEERS SEIZE SVEABORG Only Four Companies of Infantry Remain Layal to Czar. Helsingfors, Aug. 1.—Sveaborg is entirely in the hands of the mutineers, who now have in their possession every kind of armament. Horrible scenes occurred during last night' when the fierce fighting was continued. The heaviest artillery was used during the conflict. Several officers were killed or wounded. The wounded were transported to Heleingfors. Colonel Nararoff was bayoneted. He begged for transportation to the hospital, promising forgiveness in exchange. Instead he was stoned and thrown into the water with a stone tied around his neck. Helsingborg, Aug. 1.—A gigantic military conspiracy, aiming at the simultaneous capture of Russia's three great sea fortresses, Cronstadt, Sevastopol and Sveaborg, arranged by the Revolutionary Military league, was prematurely sprung here yesterday by an attempt to arrest members of a company of sappers who had mutinied on account of the death of one of their comrades, alleged to have been due to ill treatment. The entire garrison of the fortress at Sveaborg flamed out instantly in revolt. All the artillery and sappers garrisoning the place were invoked. Only four companies of infantry remained loyal. The mutineers seized 40 machine guns and practically all the quick-firers and light artillery in the fortress, but even with this aid they were unable to hold the main fort against the loyal infantry. The fighting continued all night long. The heaviest firing was heard from 10 o'clock in the evening until 1 in the morning.

Edison, in an Asheville, N.C., interview, said he had found in that section cobalt that would reduce the weight of storage batteries in automobiles one-half and the cost of city traffic more than half. He says the vein of cobalt runs from a point east of Nashville, Tenn., in North Carolina, and traverses four counties. He thinks it means a revolution in the electrical world. Most of the cobalt hitherto known to the world has been found in France and Australia. Cobalt is a hard, white metal, with granular structure, which is malleable, at red heat and capable of receiving weak magnetic power when rubbed with a magnet. It is nowhere found native, except in some meteorites, but usually exists as an oxide, and the ores are known to have been in use in the sixteenth century for imparting a blue color to glass. Religious Novel Prohibited. "Il Santo, or the Saint," is the title of a much-discussed novel by Senator Fogazzoro of Italy, which has just been added to the list of prohibited books—"Index Liborum Prohibitorum"—by the Vatican authorities. The author is a devout Catholic, but stan is for liberal reforms. The theme of the book is the fate of a devout and zealous Catholic, modeled after St. Francis of Assisi, who undertakes reform within the church and encounters the opposition of the hierarchy.

The Unbidden Guest. For a long time Johnnie had waited for an invitation to Dorothy's party. Two whole weeks had gone by since the little pink, sweet-scented envelopes had been proudly displayed by the fortunate little boys and girls in Johnnie's class. "Going?" they all asked Johnnie. "Got one?" "No," he had answered bravely, each time. "I guess I'll get mine to-morrow." The to-morrows came, but the little pink envelope did not. Still he was patient and hopeful until the day of the party. When he saw his playmates running by, with happy, eager faces, he could bear it no longer. His mother could not comfort him. Why had not Dorothy remembered him? He had seen her every day at school. Perhaps she had thought him too young; he was so little. With wistful eyes Johnnie looked at the big house on the hill. After a long time his tears were dry, and then he jumped up and ran to his mother. "Mamma," he cried, "I'm going! I'm going!" he repeated, not understanding the look in his mother's face. "I've just thought when they get there and don't find me it won't seem right, for I always play with them, and Dorothy'll feel badly when she finds she has forgotten me. "Course," he continued, "I haven't time to go and buy a present, so I guess I'll take Jerry. Anyway, a cat's 'bout the only thing Dorothy hasn't got. I—I'll miss Jerry"—his lip trembled—"but I've got to carry something—and I go by Dorothy's every day, and when I whistle he will come running out to see me. Please get me ready, mamma!" A great struggle was going on in his mother's heart, but Johnnie did not know. How could she talk about intentional slights when no knowledge of such a thing had ever entered his honest little head? He was only five and—of course there must be some reason for it—he should go to that party and carry his cat, too, and she would trust to Dorothy's good nature to understand. She would surely reward Johnnie's faith in her. "Yes, dear," she said aloud, "it's all right. You shall go," and she made his hasty toilet while Jerry rubbed his head against Johnnie's hands. "You'll be good, won't you, Jerry?" Johnnie asked. 'Mlau!" responded Jerry. "Good-by!" Johnnle called, and he trudged off, holding his cat tightly in his arms. Meanwhile Dorothy was taking her first taste of the responsibilities of a hostess. Her guests did miss little Johnnle, and ignored the laws of etiquette to such an extent as to ask why he had not been invited. Her explanation that he was a mere child was not satisfactory. After that nothing seemed quite so nice, the candles with the rose shades did not look half so pretty, the fancy costumes did not seem so wonderful, and the numerous games that had been devised for their amusement were not nearly so entertaining. The little people began to separate into groups, which is fatal to the success of any affair. It was a welcome relief when the door opened and Johnnie came in, still hugging his cat. Dorothy's mother was with him. "I knew you'd all be glad to see me," he said, as the children gathered round him, "so I just came up myself. And, Dorothy, I thought you'd feel pretty bad when you knew you forgot me. I brought you my Jerry. He's the best cat there is!" Dorothy's mother looked at her little daughter, but Dorothy understood. Her eyes filled with tears when she realized her mistake and saw that Johnnie's little heart knew nothing about pride nor difference in ages. She put her arms about him. "Of course I'm glad you came," she said, "and your cat is beautiful! It's present enough for you to just bring him to the party. I couldn't keep him always, you love him so. And, Johnnie, I think you are old enough to play with us—so we'll never leave you out again!" After this the party was the merriest they ever knew.—Youth's Companion.

X-RAY SURGERY SAVES DOG Button Found in the Stomach of a Valuable Blenheim Spaniel. All of Tot's anxious Philadelphia friends will be rejoiced to learn that she underwent a very difficult operation in this city yesterday, and her chances for recovery are good, says the New York Herald. It should be stated, perhaps, that Tot is a thoroughbred Blenheim spaniel, and moves in the very best circles of Philadelphia's bow wow four hundred. She is the leader of her set, the possessor of several blue ribbons and a general favorite. But Tot has been a great sufferer and her case is likely to become a celebrated one in canine surgery. It is now nearly a year ago that she began to complain. At first she was treated for indigestion by several of Philadelphia's best physicians, Brisk walks and plenty of exercise were prescribed, but that treatment did her little good. Then she was taken to Hot Springs, Ark., and received a regular course of sulphur water baths, with a special attendant to administer massage. She grew steadily worse and at last developed convulsions. These attacks would last from one to three minutes and came at frequent intervals. Two nurses were with her constantly, and when her condition became more alarming it was decided to take her to a New York specialist. She arrived here three weeks ago and was hurriedly taken to the office of Dr. D. S. Johnson and a consultation was held. With the greatest care her case was studied for three weeks and finally the X-ray was applied. No doubt it was the searching eye of the X-ray and the memory of one of the nurses that saved Tot's life. Yesterday morning when the patient's condition seemed more critical than ever the physician called one of the nurses to the bedside and questioned her closely as to Tot's early life. The nurse remembered that once, when Tot was very small, she swallowed a large, round, black bone button. "Ah," said the physician. "There's light." Ten minutes later Tot was in the operating room and a nurse was holding the chloroform mask to her little nose. When it was all over the "large, round, black bone button" was lying on the marble table beside the surgeon's knife. It was found in the intestines. The X-ray discovered it. Tot will live. "Does any one know this poor fellow?" asked the good Samaritan, addressing the crowd which had quickly gathered at the scene of the accident. "His mind seems to have become an absolute blank, and——" "Trust official! Trust official!" shouted the assemblage in one voice. "Out of his head, and thinks he's on the witness stand!"—Watson's Magazine. Your independence might look like impudence in your neighbor. ST. PAUL MINN. Alfred J.

COLFAX, WASHINGTON --- ASHLAND, OREGON THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON UNIVERSITY LAW MEDICINE LUZON'S LONGEST RAILWAY. New Government Line Runs Through a Fertile Country. The longest railway in the Philippines will be the government line leading through the wonderfully fertile interior of Luzon from Manila to Aparri, the northernmost port of the island. It will be, as it were, the great transcontinental system in the islands. The survey calls for a line 336 miles in length. With the exception of one difficult grade, the road will be comparatively level, and trains should make the trip in ten hours. Recently the writer traveled over the line of this survey on horseback. In all the trip there was only seen one hillside of about three acres which was barren land, and here it was being worked for a lime quarry. From Manila the road will run northeast 125 miles through the valley of the Pampanga to the Caraballo Mountains, which run north and south from ten to thirty miles from the west CHINA SEA APARRI LUZON ILAGKN DAYOMBANG BAGUPAN MANILA PACIFIC OCEAN LUZON RAILWAY ROUTE. coast of Luzon. It will cross these mountains over the South Caraballo pass, elevation 3,750 feet. The summits are covered with immense hardwood trees. The railroad will climb for thirty or forty miles through these mountains. The country reminds one of the Cumberland mountains of Tennessee. There are occasional little settlements in the valleys where the Indians—Igorotes from Benguet Province—grow coffee. Every little farm is protected with a bamboo fence to keep out the deer and wild boar. There are no native Tagalogs dwelling in the mountains. These Indians are stronger and more industrious than the Filipino of the plains. About twenty-five miles above Bambang in Neuva Vizcaya Province the survey strikes a tributary of the Magat River at an altitude of a little more than 2,500 feet. From this point until near Aparri there is an almost imperceptible decline in the grade. Bambang is the prettiest little town in the Philippine Islands. The people are "pacificos" and took no part in the insurrection. Only one company of American troops has ever been in Bambang. Fifty years ago the Spanish built great cathedrals and bridges and improved the roads. The country is rolling and the valley is open. The long, low, slanting foothills are densely covered with timber. The country is capable of supporting an immense population. From Bambang the railroad will run almost directly east down the Magat Valley to the Cagayan Valley, fifty-nine miles by the rail, then down the Cagayan Valley almost due north to Aparri. In all this travelling one is impressed by the fact that the Philippine Islands still possess vast stretches of immensely fertile but unsettled country. CARELESSNESS IN AMERICA Larger Percentage of Accidents than in Other Lands. in Other Lands. Our national carelessness is the explanation given by the Literary Digest for our dreadful record of accidents, says American Medicine. In reviewing an article by G. E. Walsh upon accident-preventing devices in America (Cassler's magazine), it is shown that we stand first in the world in the accident record and that the rule seems to apply to all trades and professions. The proportion of miners killed, for instance, is nearly treble that in France, and about double that in other European countries. For every five men killed by accident in the United States there are only three in all nations of Europe combined. Our railroads alone kill twenty-one people every day. The remarkable fact is brought out that we lead the world in the invention of accident-preventing devices, and adopt fewer of them than any other country. Indeed, many of the inventions travel to Europe for recognition and adoption. It is claimed that our workmen will not use the safety devices, as something childish, but prefer to run the risk like men. This is true, but it is also true of European workmen. Indeed, the old story of the safety lamp in mines shows that accustomed dangers are forgotten or minimized. Permanent "museums of security," such as that in Amsterdam, Walsh says, should be established. In these there are on constant exhibition every conceivable device for lessening risk to life from accident. They will educate the public, and the workmen will gradually be brought to the point of demanding protection. It is suggested that employers be held to a stricter accountability and be compelled by law to safeguard employees, as in Europe, but it can be replied that American workmen will not submit to restrictions easily imposed in Europe. They are free agents, with a right to kill themselves, if they please, or injure others. No man is his brother's keeper here, and this is probably the real basis for our national disregard of the rights of others. It is more than carelessness. The surgeons of the country see all these accidents, and carefully investigate each case. It seems reasonable to suggest that they should be able to see the causes and suggest remedies. Knowing more of the matter than any other body of men, can they not take some concerted action which would make life safer in America? American disregard for human life is the fact which seems to impress European visitors more profoundly than any other characteristic. Since we claim to be the most democratic people on earth, it seems remarkable that with more power in our hands than any other nation, we are unable to safeguard ourselves to anything like the extent accomplished by monarchic nations of the enlightened parts of Europe. Her Idea of Gentle Folk. The following anecdote recently brought to Richmond by a Georgia woman is a true story: A Boston couple were recreating near Augusta and met an old negro woman to whom they took a fancy. They invited her to pay them a visit and the black woman accepted, especially as her expenses were pald. In due time she arrived in Boston and was installed in the house of the white folks. She occupied one of the best rooms and ate at the same table with her host and hostess. At one of the meals the hostess said: "Mrs. Jones, you were a slave, weren't you?" "Yes, marm," replied Mrs. Jones. "I 'b'longed to Mar's Robert Howell." "I suppose he never invited you to eat at his table," remarked the Boston woman. "No, honey, dat he ain't," replied Mrs. Jones. "My master was a gentleman. He ain't never let no nigger set at ds table long er him." And in making this speech she meant no disrespect to her hostess. She meant merely to point out a natural distinction."—Baltimore Sun. Stopped Walking. "I suppose your husband hasn't done much walking since he bought his new auto?" "No, indeed.

Census Taking Under Difficulties. To take the census of the British empire is a matter of difficulty in certain districts. A native official was ordered to take a census of what was known to be a populous village in Uganda. He returned with the report that there was no population, the explanation being that the inhabitants had fed on hearing of his approach. More precise instructions were given to him and he paid another visit to the village. The result of his inquiry was given thus in the tabulated form: Number of huts, 257; inhabitants, men over 18 years of age, 0; women under 18 years of age, 0; women, 0; children, 0; total, 0.

A very pretty young woman slipped and fell on the stone steps in front of her father's house, spraining her knee. She disliked doctors, but the knee finally grew so bad that she was persuaded to call in medical advice. She wouldn't have this doctor or that one, but finally said she would consent to having called in a certain spruce-looking young man, carrying a homeopathic medicine case, who passed the house every day. The family kept a sharp lookout, and when he came along called him in. The young lady modestly raised her skirts and showed the disabled member. The young man looked at it and said: "That certainly is quite serious." "Well," said the young lady, "what shall I do?" "If I were you," he said, "I would send for a physician."

"There's another roll on the shelf," said the salesman; "I'll take it down if you think your friend is likely to be in it." —Puck CHANGES IN BIRDS' HABITS. With New Conditions Come Adaptations Digitized by Bayer Among the familiar examples of the changes in the habits of birds which have resulted from association with mankind are those of the chimney swift, or popularly named "chimney swallow," which formerly nested in the hollows of trees and now in all settled regions using the chimneys of the houses, and the barn and eave swallows, the former originally nesting in eaves and now building on the beams and rafters of barns, and the latter, once a cliff-dweller, now attaching its curious mud tenement under the shelter of the eaves of barns and dwellings. In a series of interesting notes in the Auk on the changes in the habits of birds George F. Breninger records having observed in Mexico the old and the new way of swallow-nesting. In the ancient town of Tuxpan he found numerous instances of barn swallows nesting in the living-rooms, and in the unsettled portions of the State of Chihuahua, 100 miles back from the railroad on one of the large bacendas—a region devoid of the time-honored adobes—barn swallows still nested on the rocks. Mr. Breninger notes other changes in the nesting habits due to the removal of large timber. There is, for example, the Lucy's warbler, which normally nests in natural cavities in the trunks of trees, most commonly in the mesquite, but in the vicinity of Tucson, where the larger trees have been cut away, the warblers have in some instances had recourse to rebuilding their nests in the abandoned nests of other species, and, most curious of all, among the small limbs of a mesquite tree. In timbered countries the flickers cut holes in the trunks of trees for their nests. In some sections, where the large trees have been removed and the flickers have no longer such nesting sites, they have taken to the telegraph poles. "Along the railroad between Benson and Bisbee, Ariz," writes Mr. Brenlinger, "the telegraph poles and fence posts show evidence of the work of woodpeckers, all by the Texan woodpecker. Throughout this region trees are few and the woodpeckers are forced to use anything that is dead and large enough to permit of a nesting cavity being excavated in it. Dead stalks of the century plant are often used. About Phoenix, Ariz, this woodpecker is common. Timber to their needs is still in abundance and the poles along the railroads and elsewhere are untouched. In some parts of Mexico the work of woodpeckers on telegraph poles has reached the stage of a nuisance and a source of much outlay of money to keep the line in repair. Over a piece of road running between San Luis Potosí and Tampico the nuisance has become so great that the management threatened to dip the poles in a solution of creosote."—Forest and Stream. Insistent Politeness. Good-tempered, kind-hearted, and liked even by the Russians, is the description which the author of "With Russian, Japanese and Chunchuse" applies to the Japanese soldier. He also gives an illustration of the determination of the Japanese, even when the object is courtesy. When, after the Battle of Tashilhchia, the Russian garrison evacuated Niuchwang by order of General Kuropatkin, the Japanese were not long in taking command of the place. Two scouts were the first to enter the town. They rode straight to the civil administration buildings. There, in one of the smaller rooms, they came upon a Russian soldier who had managed to get left behind his brothers-in-aras. He slowly rose from behind some furniture and faced his captors. They smiled amiably at him, and, reassured, he pulled off his cap and commenced to fan himself with it. Now it is a common custom for the Japanese soldier, in war and peace, to carry about with him in the hot weather a small fan. On this occasion a fan was forthcoming, and handed to the Russian. He refused to take it, preferring to use the cap. Still with an amiable smile on his face, one of the Japanese, a short man with abnormally broad shoulders, again proffered the rejected fan with the left hand, at the same time covering him with a revolver. The captive took the gift without further reluctance and fanned himself with vigor. It cooled him far more than the cap. Bird Surgeons. Certain birds seem to possess a remarkable instinct for surgery. The woodcock, the partridge and some others are said to be able to dress their wounds with considerable skill. A naturalist observes that he has shot several woodcock that were recovering from wounds previously received. In every instance he found the injury neatly dressed with down plucked from the stems of feathers and skillfully arranged over the wound, evidently by the long beak of the bird. In other cases ligatures had been applied to wounded or broken limbs. A. Good Thing "This is an interesting clock, Miss," said the salesman, "you really should have one, especially if you're bothered with tiresome callers." "It's merely a cuckoo clock, isn't it?" asked Miss May Pechis. "Yes, but beginning at 10 p. m. instead of saying 'cuck-koo' every quarter hour it yells, 'Go home! Go home!'" —Philadelphia Press.

It is the worst disease the world has ever known; responsible for more unhappiness and sorrow than all others combined. Nobody knows anything about the origin of this loathsome trouble, but as far back as history goes it has been regarded the greatest curse of mankind. No part of the body is beyond the reach of this powerful poison. No matter how pure the blood may be, when the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters, the entire circulation becomes corrupted, the humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer finds himself diseased from head to foot with the vilest and most destructive of all poisons. Usually the first symptom is a small sore or ulcer, so insignificant that it rarely ever excites suspicion, but in a short while the skin breaks out in a red rash, the glands of the groin swell, the throat and mouth ulcerate, the hair and eye-brows come out, and often the body is covered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. There is hardly any limit to the ravages of Contagious Blood Poison; if it is not driven from the blood it affects the nerves, attacks the bones, and in extreme cases causes tumors to form on the brain, producing insanity and death. No other disease is so highly contagious; many an innocent person has become infected by using the same toilet articles, handling the clothing, by a friendly handshake or the kiss of affection from one afflicted. But no matter how the disease is contracted, the sufferer feels the humiliation and degradation that accompany the vile disorder. Mercury and Potash are commonly used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison, but these minerals cannot cure the disease—they merely mask it in the system. All external evidences may disappear for awhile, but the treacherous poison is at work on the internal members and tissues, and when these minerals are left off the disease returns worse than before, because the entire system has been weakened and damaged by the strong action of the Mercury and Potash. There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood Poison, and that is S. S. S., the great vegetable blood purifier. It attacks the disease in the right way by going down into the blood, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the poison. It makes the blood pure and rich, strengthens the different parts of the body, tones up the system, and cures this humiliating and destructive disorder permanently. The improvement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S. S. S. and continues until every vestige of the poison is driven from the blood and the sufferer S.S.S. PURELY VEGETABLE is completely restored to health. S. S. S. is not an experiment; it is a success. It has cured thousands of cases of Contagious Blood Poison, many of which had given the Mercury and Potash treatment, Hot Springs, etc., a thorough trial, and had almost despaired of ever being well again. S. S. S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and does not injure the system in the least. We offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that it contains a particle of mineral of any kind. If you are suffering with this despicable and debasing disease, get it out of your blood with S. S. S. before it does further damage. We will gladly send our book with instructions for self-treatment and any medical advice, without charge, to all who write. Modern Love Story—Boiled Down. "Miss Jones, allow me to present Mr. Smith."

Will Row Till Judgment Day. There is a shilvery, shaky legend among the people who live along the Hudson River which is to the effect that that stream is the everlasting boating waters of a specter who is personified as Ramhout Van Dam. Away back in colonial times Ramhout and his friends were drinking until late at night. Finally this man Ramhout started for home, some distance up the river, in his boat, swearing that he would row the distance if it took "a month of Sundays." Ramhout never reached home, and the superstitious people say that he has been condemned to row until judgment day.

WISE Dear Sirs: I—had a friend who had a bad case of Contagious Blood Poison and was in a terrible condition. He tried all the medicines he could hear of, but nothing did him any good. He went to Hot Springs but it was like the other treatments he had used, and he was in despair of a cure when he heard of S. S. S. After taking it for awhile the sores all healed, his hair stopped falling out, and, continuing with it, he soon found himself cured entirely of this hideous disease. JOHN LESLIE, Rockford, Ill. 719 W. State St. I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the best doctors did me no good, though I took their treatment faithfully. In fact I seemed to get worse all the while. I took almost every so-called blood remedy, but they did not seem to reach the disease, and had no effect whatever. I was disheartened, for it seemed that I would never be cured. At the advice of a friend I then took S. S. S. and began to improve. I continued the medicine, and it cured me completely. W. R.
