Portland Capital, $500,000 STATE OF OREGON THE UNION 1889 RTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1906. 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 Event of the Past Week. Helena has voted to own her own water plant. The use of tobacco in any form is being driven from the university at Lincoln, Neb. The Canadian government has agreed to place a lifeboat service on the southern portion of Vancouver island coast, the marine graveyard. The Alabama Great Southern railroad has given an increase of 5 per cent in wages to all its employees receiving less than $200 per month. In the Interstate Commere hearing at Salt Lake a witness declared the Union Pacific ailroad prevented opposition from acquiring coal lands by the use of dynamite. Dr. D. P. Barrows, director of education in the Philippines, says the islands are in good condition generally speaking. There is no market for sugar and tobacco. The Japanese governmentis said to understand the recent school situation in San Francisco. While she may punish the Bay City a bit, nothing more will come of the affair. An international committee has been appointed in China to secure relief for the hungry. An appeal will be made to Europe and America. Ten thousand people are on the point of starvation. President Roosevelt and parly hasanded on Unitee States territory. Booker T. Washington, leader of thecolored race, says Andrew Carnegiewears shoes made in a ngreo industrialschool.

The president, vice president and counsel of the Mutual Reserve LifeInsurance company are on trial in New York on a charge of grand harceny. While holding up passengers on aChicago & Alton passenger train nearKansas City a bold robber was capturedby the conductor and later turned overto the police. Advices have just been received of adisastrous tidal wave which followedan earthquake at German New Guinea.Many natives were drowned andthe property loss is enormous. Mrs. Stilwell, head of the SalvationArmy rescue work in Chicago, beilevesthe bets way to cure vice in that citywould be to take pictures of thefrequenters of notorious places andpublish them in the newspapers. The American Insurance company has been barred from doing further business in Massachusetts and the justice of the State Supreme court says companies must show that they can protect before they will be allowed to continue writing policies. A large section of the crater of Vesuvius has caved in. France has ordered a squadron of warships to Tangier, Morocco. Russia and Japan have disagreed over their fisheries and talk of war. A plot has been unearthed in Servia which was intended to unseat King Peter. Spain denies that a secret treaty has been entered into with France regarding Morocco. The recent session of the Trans-Mississippi congress at Kansas City was the best yet held. A street car strike at Hamilton, Ont., caused serious riots and troops had to be called out to restore order. A discharged Cuban chief of police has taken to the field with a land of followers. Rural guards are pursuing. It is said that Sir Hendy Campbell-Bannerman will resign as premier of the British cabinet and take a place in the house of lords. Hungary has decided to close all the Cunard steamship agencies in that country, as they encourage emigration, which is not wanted. China threatens a boycott on Japan. Harriman is reaching after all public utilities in Chicago. Peary has arrived at Sydney, N. S., on the steamer Roosevelt. San Francisco is going ahead with plans for a world's fair in 1913. --- EVIDENCE OF MORE CRIME. No Influence Can Protect Pounders of Coal Land. Salt Lake, Nov. 30.—Powerful influence is being brought to bear at Washington to prevent threatened prosecutions of corporations and individuals in connection with the land frauds which have been disclosed by the Interstate Commerce commission. These efforts, however, have been unavailing and the course which the government has mapped out will be pursued unfalteringly. When the Interstate Commerce commission resumes its hearing here today, evidence will be produced by J. T. Marchand and E. E. Thomas to prove that the Utah Fuel company, ever since its organization six or seven years ago, has received rebates from the Denver & Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western systems. It is expected to prove this by William O. Williams, auditor for the Utah Fuel company, and it will be shown, it is said, that by means of these rebates the fuel company, and also the Pleasant Valley Coal company, were better able to maintain the monopoly, which they are charged with having, of the coal business in Utah. It is alleged that both of these coal companies enjoyed a blanket rate of ½ cent a mile per ton on all of the commodities which the railroad company mentioned transported for them. These preferential rates were enjoyed upon both state and interstate traffic. BRING GRAFTERS TO JUSTICE. Stolypin. Starts Vigorous Inquiry Into Famine Fund Scandal. St. Petersburg, Nov. 30. — Prompt steps have been taken by Premier Stolypin to deal with the famine relief contract scandal in which Lidval and M. Gurko, assistant minister of the Interior, are involved. The premier has called a special meeting of the council of ministers for tomorrow to discuss the affair. M. Gurko has resigned. When he presented his resignation, the premier told him he should not quit office, but that, for his own sake at least, he must face the court. The premier is expected to appoint an inter-ministerial commission composed of assistant ministers to investigate the case. He will then bring it before the first department of the senate in public session. Orders have been given to collect evidence and cross examine all persons connected with the affair, and General Fredericks, governor of Nizhni Novgorod, has been summoned to St. Petersburg to answer to the charge of standing sponsor for Lidval. A certain Sotskich, an assistant of Lidval in buying grain in the provinces, also has been summoned by the minister of the Interior, but has failed to answer and is thought to be in hiding. GREAT FIND OF EXPLORERS. Fragments of Gospel and Many Other Ancient Writings. Chicago, Nov. 30.—A cable dispatch to the Tribune from London says: It now is possible to give further details of the remarkable find of papyri as a result of the efforts of Drs. Grenfell and Hunt, of the Greco-Roman branch of the Egypt Exploration Fund at Oxyrhynchus. The find consists of no fewer than 130 boxes of papyri, running in date from the second century, B. C., to the sixth century, A. D. They comprise all classes of literature, many fragments of the lost or even unknown classical works, and some most important fragments unknown to Christian literature. The most important find is a vellum leaf containing 45 lines of gospel which has a variation from the authorized version. The subject is the visit of Jesus and his disciples to the temple of Jerusalem and their meeting there with the Pharisee, who rebuke them for their failure to perform the necessary ceremonial of purification. In the dialogue which follows, which resembles in some respects Matthew xxiii:25, the Pharisee describes with considerable fullness and detail the formalities he has observed, whereupon Jesus delivers an eloquent, crushing reply, contrasting outward with inward purity. London, Nov. 30.—A report was current in this city today that the South Africa company has offered the Salvation Army 1,000,000 acres of land in Rhodesia for colonization purposes, with the stipulation, however, that in the event of the colonizing scheme proving a failure, the land should revert to the company. General Booth said tonight that the plan had been prematurely disclosed. He declined to commit himself to any statement of details, because he said the plan might still fall through. Czar Fixes Twelve-Hour Day. St. Petersburg, Nov. 30.—The emperor has approved the resolution introduced by the council of ministers fixing 12 hours as a working day, including two hours for meals, in all industrial and other circles. This law will become operative six weeks after its promulgation. Send Colony to Africa MUCH LAND STOLEN Government Grip Tightens on Plunderer's of Domalo. MANY HIGH OFFICIALS INVOLVED Machinery of Law At Work Against Men Who Ruled Land Office To Rob Nation. Salt Lake, Nov. 29.—The grip of the government and of justice is tightening slowly about the organized gangs which, it is alleged, have for years, with the connivance of the Land department, robbed the public domain of coal, mineral and timber land valued at many millions of dollars. In the end, it is stated, every member of these gangs, whether he be a plain citizen of the United States or occupies high official position, will be made to answer in the criminal courts for his complicity in the most gigantic frauds said ever to have been perpetrated on the United States government. Every agency of the government, including the Interstate Commerce commission, the secret service, the Federal grand jury and the court of equity, has been set in motion to accomplish the end desired. While the Interstate Commerce commission is taking testimony here tending to show that the Rio Grande railroad and its allied companies, the Utah Fuel company and the Pleasant Valley Coal company, have been securing by fraudulent means all of the coal land in the state of Utah and consequently building up their monopoly in this line, the Federal grand jury here is awaiting the outcome of the hearing with a view to gathering all of the guilty ones into its net. The peculiations of which the government complaints have been perpetrated in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, California, Oregon and possibly in other states. The robberies of the public domain have been almost as extensive, it is charged, in timber land as in mineral land. That such enormous frauds, extending through a long period of years, could not have been perpetrated with out the complicity of the Land department is said to be a patient bet. During the hearing here yesterday a glimpse of the real power behind the throne was given when it was stated by government land agents that they had been compelled to see Senator Francis E. Warren regarding official business of the Land department. Senator Warren is charged with having ruled the land office for a number of years. It was his influence and that of Senator Clark which secured the appointment, during President McKinley's administration, of Willis Vandevanter to be assistant attorney general for the Interior department. Vandevanter was the legal conscience of the Land department. and Vandevanter had been attorney for the companies charged with stealing the land. It was Warren who made Congressman Frank W. Modell assistant land commissioner, who later put Binger Hermann in the position of commissioner, and who succeeded him by present Commissioner Richards. It is Warren, it is claimed, who still controls the land offices from Nebraska and the Dakotas to California and Alaska. CALL FOR OIL TRUST PAPERS. Texas Wants to Know All About Its Dealings With Bailey. Austin, Tex., Nov. 29. — Attorney General R. G. Davidson and counsel associated with him in the prosecution of the suit of the state to oust the Waters-Pierce Oil company from Texas yesterday served on former Attorney General George Clark, one of the attorneys for the oil company and filed with the clerk of the court a demand for the production of the books, records, vouchers, etc., of the oil company, showing agreements with other companies, correspondence between the attorneys of the oil company and J. W. Bailey, and purporting to show payments of money by H. C. Pierce and said oil companies on divers dates. Copies of all letters passing between J. D. Johnson and George Clark, counsel for the oil company, or written by them to J. W. Bailey and to parties in New York during 1900 relating to the settlement of the cases pending in Waco, Tex., against said oil companies, letters written by or to said parties are called for. The other matters called for are copies of the original trust agreements, agreements with the Eagle Refining company and the Texas Oil and Gasoline company, agreement as to the division of territory and agreement with Attorney General Hadley of Missouri as to ownership of Waters-Pierce stock by the Standard Oil company. Plans for New Sugar Trust. New Orleans, Nov. 29.—Plans to form a $28,000,000 merger of Louisiana sugar plantations and sugar houses are announced by a committee in charge of the project. The New Age has said before and it now says again that it does not believe that the next legislature will elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United States senate. It has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne is inspired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he was regularly named by the republican voters for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First—That he is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second—That he is a traitor and political black-leg. Third—That he could not be depended upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party in the hour of its dire tress, when the blight of Bryanism populism overshadowed the country in 1906. But as a true and loyal republican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, invincible republican party in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy. The legislative session of 1895 was the most spectacular in the history of Oregon and the King Pin of that session was J. Bourne Jr., whose malodorous record is even yet a stench in the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other corrupting influences the trick of thwarting the will of the people and debauching the honor of the citizenry was the special mission of this political montebank, who, now, ten short years afterward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him in the future? Does anyone who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies in the United States senate, and to uphold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders in that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, mose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt. The Russian government is willing to let the people have elections, providing they vote for the government. The price of gasoline has gone up again, and owners are almost beginning to wish that their automobiles ate hay. A famous physician is experimenting with the effects of music on cats. Paying them back in their own coin, so to speak. The man who is paying 20 cents a gallon for gasoline isn't able to figure out wherein 35-cent denatured alcohol will help much. The Governor of Cuba will receive a salary of $25,000 a year. It should be remembered, however, that he will have to live in Cuba. The man who seeks divorce because his wife doesn't talk enough will be considered a fit subject for an inquirendo de lunático. A man always finds it hard to conceal his satisfaction when he picks up another man's hat and finds that it is too small for him. It is surprising to read that a new revolt is threatened in Russia. Many had supposed that a continuous revolt was good enough for the Russians. In Pennsylvania there is a man who declares that his wife hasn't spoken to him for seven years. Some people will be unable to understand why he is making a fuss about it. If James J. Hill were younger he might have hope of some day being in a position to buy the earth and sell it again at a profit of 40 or 50 per cent when the population doubles. Sir Oliver Lodge tells us that the sun will be cold in 20,000,000 years, and what is turning our hair gray with worry is the fact that the coal supply will last only half that time. Honor is being paid to the memory of Madoc, the Welsh prince, who is said to have discovered America in 1270. Christopher Columbus, however, does not recall hearing anything about it at the time. Smokers who have been fearing that the disturbances in Cuba might curtail the output of genuine Havana cigars will be interested to hear that the Connecticut tobacco crop is unusually large. Italians have erected in New York City a monument to Verdi, the grand man of Italian music. This is the memorial which the Italians have tended to New York. The others the monuments to Columbus and Carloaldi. A hoodlum is a boy whose mother and father "have no time to fuse" about him. They "guess he is big enough and smart enough to take care of himself." If a neighbor complains of his mean acts the parents think that neighbor too low down to live. The hoodlum begins his course by running wild in the street; he ends it on the gallows. But, as a general thing, his parents deserve hanging better than he does. Marquis Ito and Field Marshals Yamagata and Oyama have been created princes by the Japanese Emperor in recognition of their services in the war with Russia, and Vice Admiral Togo has been made a marquis for the same reason. All that we can do in America to reward our military heroes is to advance them in rank, and even then the promotion of successful officers over the heads of men who have been longer in the service is fiercely criticised. In recent years, as all readers of the papers know, it has become too common among a certain class of people to have the marriage ceremony performed under strange and unusual conditions, as on platforms at county fairs, on the top of a smokestack, etc. The cheap notoriously that attaches to this sort of marriage destroys the sanctity that should pertain to the ceremony and gives the unthinking occasion to regard it as a joke rather than a serious transaction. There is altogether too much trifling with the marriage tie already without turning the ceremony into a monkey show. There isn't much question that most of us would get along better if a little more attention were given to mastication, if we ate less meat—indeed, less of everything; but there are so many other offenses against good physiology more serious in their results and almost equally prevalent that the layman may be excused for skepticism as to the necessity for political economists deserting their own field to push the cause of the chewers. A man who consistently chews each mouthful of custard forty-seven times through life may have a chance of living to be a 100 a fraction of a point better than the man who bolts batter cakes whole, but the latter during his shorter earthly sojourn, having his attention less closely fixed on his stomach, may actually do more good in the world than the human hashing machine. Among the cherished memories of a certain charming old lady is that of a teacher of her childhood, whose theory of life was reduced to a simple principle: "Learn to read well, young ladies—to enunciate distinctly, to modulate the voice pleasingly, to interpret the words of the author with sympathy and understanding; learn to read well, and all other virtues will follow." It is possible that the acquirement of all the virtues seems a slightly more complicated matter than it did to the old gentleman of seventy years ago. Nevertheless, the advice is not to be laughed away, if only because it recalls the days when reading aloud was counted one of the most desirable of the fine arts of life. This is no reflection upon the art of reading as taught in these latter days; the question is not of the actual process, but of the place that reading aloud used to hold in family life. Many a gray-haired man or woman who never heard of "round tables," and never discovered that authors had early or late styles, yet knows his Scott or Thackeray or Shakespeare as few young people of to-day ever know them. In part, this is due to the fact that the field of reading now covered by young people is much larger than it was half a century ago. A deeper cause lies in the decline of the habit of reading aloud. We have no time now to read aloud, we say. Perhaps not; yet before we decide, might it not be well to consider whether any other recreation offers more permanent pleasure or greater enrichment to the life. Books read aloud winter evenings about the fire, with the whole family sharing the interest and the discussions, will hold a warmth of color which time will not dim. Between their pages will lie countless happy memories—a treasure whose value will deepen through all the years to come. While certain elderly gentlemen of athletic proclivities were disporting on the links of a New York golf club in competitive endeavor to reduce records, a Chicago doctor of theology was inveighing vigorously against the humorous Dr. Osler, whose merry jest at the expense of 60 bobs up occasionally to plague the supersensitive. The theologian pointed out that Moses did not begin to preach until he was 80 years of age, and from this undisputed assertion he drew the conclusion that there is no age limit until a man's vigor has gone. If any argument were permissible it might be contended that much of the great work of Moses was performed while he was yet young—young not merely from the ancient but the present way of looking at years. But nobody now takes seriously the limitations prescribed by Dr. Osler except possibly a few over-wrought gentlemen who are, unhappily, devoid of the saving grace of humor. To calm the feelings of these sensitive few we may speak not only of the preaching Moses but of the elderly golfers who went forth to battle amid "wintry blasts and furries of snow." It is recorded that of this goodly array of competitive ancients and honorables not one was under 55, while most of them had passed the Osler age of usefulness, and several of them were over 80. A merry young rellow of 78 carried off one of the prizes, and a stripling of two and seventy figured proudly in the running. And in order to accomplish the task presented it was required of these husky athletes to cover ground to the extent of seven miles, a mere bit of attendant exercise which they considered hardly worth mentioning. In all likelihood Moses thought nothing of walking seven miles a day, even after he began preaching, for he was a pedestrian of large experience and was in excellent training. But the conjunction of the patriarch and the contemporary golfers, for illustrative purposes, is felicitous chiefly as showing that in all ages of the world's history decrepit, physical and mental, is usually not so much a matter of years as of temperament and mode of life. The octogenarian on the golf links and in the pulpit is constantly with us to remind us of the humor of Dr. Osler's quilps and fancles. Demand for More Furs Samuel Leon, who represents large fur interests and has charge of supplying the trade, reports greatest demand for fur in the history of the country. "In the last three years the demand for fur in the United States has increased more than 200 per cent. The demand is so large that it cannot be met at all, and the result has been to increase enormously the price of skins. "A large amount of the furs of the United States are being imported from Russia, which shows a great change, as formerly we relied in this country to a great degree on the furs of our own continent. The seals have been slaughtered in recent years in large numbers, and although there seems to be no sign of an early extinction of the animals, the skins are not so common as formerly. More and more the trade is looking to the countries of northern Europe for their fine skins."—San Francisco Chronicle. Dame Nature's Poor Taste. An Englishman who has been visiting in the suburbs recently is hypercritical, to say the least. Ever since he has been visiting this gentleman he has been finding fault with everything. The other evening they were on the host's beautiful lawn. "This would be charming, Mr. Blank, if it were not for the color of the grass." "Why, what is the matter with the grass?" inquired the surprised host. "Too green, too green," sighed the Englishman; "it spoils the color effect."—Boston Record. To say a man lacks tact is a polite way of saying he is impolite. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON The Seiler Co. OSCAR J.

In all ages political leaders have had it in their power to elevate or degrade provinces and nations, but to a man who made no pretenes of either political or military leadership belongs the credit of improving the condition of whole provinces in a country whose language he did not know. The task was accomplished by an American engineer who, in 1807, was sent for by the Russian minister of ways and communications and commissioned to study the question of deepening the Volga river. Upon completing his work he observed that on account of the abluvial deposits at the mouth of the rivers emptying into the Black sea the channel was so choked that for generations it had been necessary for the vessels carrying grain toward the sea to transfer it at the mouth, where lighters took it to the ships on the Black sea. As a result the profits of the producer were eaten up by the cost of the double transfer at the mouth of the rivers. The work of Mr. Bates, the engineer, in deepening the mouths of the rivers oblated the necessary for this economic waste and made the difference between poverty and prosperity for millions of Russians. Another of Mr. Bates' great engineering feats described by French Strother in "The World's Works," is that of raising the grade of the city of Galveston. The location of that city on a low island in the Gulf placed it at the mercy of the fierce storms which rage along the coast and after the disaster of 1900 it was determined to raise the surface of the city above the danger level. The average depth of the fill called for in the contract is seven and one-half feet, although in some places the new elevation is seventeen and one-half feet greater than the old. This involves the dredging of more than 11,000,000 yards of sand and distributing it over an area of about two square miles. This amount of material is of sufficient volume to build five pyramids each of the size of Cheops, the largest in Egypt, and when it is completed 2,156 dwellings will have been raised to the new level and set on new foundations and all the sewers, gas pipes, water pipes and electric conduits will be elevated accordingly. The method employed is to pump sand from the outer side of the sea wall and discharge the mixture of sand and water through pipes to the parts of the city to be raised, where the water drains off and leaves the sand.

Up to date none of them have started a correspondence school. The average country boy is pretty well satisfied with life if he doesn't have to do the churning.

D. GRIFFIN, Manager Entered at the postoffice at Portland, Oregon, as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION. One Year, payable in advance.....$2.60 The people of Oregon have a long, heavy score to settle with the Harriman railroads, and they expect the next legislature to do something to even up that score. As a rule it does not pay for legislatures to be antagonistic to railroads, but rather to treat them not only reasonable but liberally; and this is especially true in an undeveloped state like Oregon. But the time has come when the legislature of Oregon must do something to relieve the people from the burden and blight inflicted by this Wall street ogre. The losses to the people of this state this year on account of the lack of cars and locomotives on the Harriman lines are tremendous and are becoming fairly appalling. Hundreds of mills and manufactories are closed down, thousand of working people are thrown out of employment, farmers and orchardists cannot get their produce to market, and people in scores of towns are out of fuel or nearly so, and possibly a hard winter just beginning. There is no excuse whatever for this, for the same shortage in a less but increasing degree has appeared for years past, and Mr. Harriman's local men could have told him long ago that the products and business and transportation needs of Oregon would be far greater than ever before. But he was busy with high finance, stock gambling in Wall street, and had no time or money to devote to the needs of Oregon, that he had been milking of rich treasure so long. He has not only refused to extend his lines to develop the state, and prevented as far as he could other companies from building in it, but has discriminated against the people of the state and this city and has charged them extortionate rates—all the traffic would bear. Harriman has also inflicted immense injury upon this city and state by his persistent and venomous fight against the Hill road, being built down the north bank of the Columbia. He has fought and is still fighting that enterprise in every possible way and with every resource at his command, but for once he has met his match; and though the Hill road will be delayed and harassed and made more expensive by this malicious fight of Harriman, it will be built and will afford Oregon greatly needed relief. And the people of this city would do well to throw all the patronage possible to the Hill roads, for he has been a veritable friend in need. While Mr. Hill is looking out for his and his associates' interests, he is a very different type of man from Harriman. He believes in aiding development, in helping farmers and other producers, in bringing in settlers and making new regions productive, in encouraging people to do well and aiding them as well as the railroad to prosper. With such a man in control of the Harriman lines in Oregon, there would be little or no need of legislation; he would do about what was right and the best he could without compulsion; but the Harriman tyrant must be dealt with somehow. The people can endure his impositions no longer. This is the most important piece of legislation before the legislature. There need be no fear of Harriman; he could not treat the people of Oregon much worse, whatever laws they pass, and the time is soon coming when he will not be monarch of all he surveys in this state. SENATOR TILLMAN. It is said that Senator Ben Tillman's income, from his lectures amounts to $25,000 a year, and whatever it is, he gets nearly all of it from Northern people, whom he insults and affronts and abuses, not speaking of the colored portion of them. People of the north generally have little or no sympathy with Tillman's anarchistic and diabolical tirades against the colored people, but go to hear him and pay him out of curiosity, we suppose, or because he interests them by his swash-buckling vulgarity. Tillman ridicules and roasts the people of the north because they do not think the "race problem" is the most important thing on earth and do not take the same view of colored citizens that he and other Southern Negrophists do. Tillman is still unconstructed. Like Vardeman and some other prominent Southerners, he hates a colored man in any other capacity or attitude than that of a slave. He still regards Negroes as chattels, whom he has a divine or demoniacal right to coerce, beat, torture and kill, as he might a brute of the lower creation, even more so. Hence he is an anarchist, and is especially out of place in the Senate where the constitution is supposed to be still held in some regard. He acknowledges and boasts that he would have no compunction in killing Negroes, would advise and help to do so, when they are guilty or accused of crimes which white Southerners might commit with but slight punishment if not with impunity. It is to be said for Tillman that he is probably honest and sincere in his beliefs and utterances, and he has the courage of his convictions, hence he is less to be condemned and censured than a man who makes false pretenes of friendship to the colored people but would sneak out and applaud a mob that lynched one of them. But why people of the north, who as a rule do not hate and despise colored people merely on account of their race, color and previous condition of servitude, will pay to hear Tillman rant and rave about the Negro is explainable only in the way suggested. Great crowds who go to hear Bryan or Hearst will mostly vote against them. So people are interested in the South Carolina bulldozer, who are not in sympathy with his sentiments. PULLMAN EMPLOYES. The Pullman Car Company has lately divided up $28,000,000 of surplus profits, and is making net profits of many millions a year, and yet it cannot or will not pay its employees on trains, and they have to depend on the public for the larger part of an income sufficient for them to live comfortable. This is a very small piece of business for so rich a company, that though its business has increased several fold during the last quarter of a century has never reduced the rates to the traveling public or raised the wages of its employees. It might not be necessary or reasonable to prevent Pullman car porters from taking pay of passengers for services rendered, although the passengers pay enough to the company to entitle them to these services without extra pay, for most passengers in Pullman cars do not care about the small honorariums paid to porters, and the pay of the latter would not in any event be munificent; but so rich and great a company owes it to these faithful employees, as well as to the public and it would seem, with its $100,000,000 or more to itself, to pay them decent and living wages, even if they did pick up a few quarters and half dollars besides. The work of these men, if not arduous, is important, and the services rendered are valuable. They always take some risk of life and limb; they must be prompt, neat, careful, considerate, obliging and intelligent, and they should be paid accordingly. SENATOR A MONTH. The Oregon legislature will not meet till January 14, and under the constitution the first joint ballot for United States Senators will not be taken till the 22d. Then if Senators are promptly elected, it will take till nearly the end of the month for the fractional term senator to get to Washington and be sworn in, so that he will have but a little over a month to serve. Senator Gearin will meanwhile hold down the seat for nearly two months; and barring his politics, which for some purposes do not cut much figure, no better man could be found for that position. Mr. Gearin Tillman is not afraid to tell made a strong run last June, consid- he believes to be the truth, an ering how great the normal republican sometimes hits it right, as he majority was, and if Bourne is to be when he said in Chicago: "Now, elected for the full term it is a pity general illustration of the inju that Gearin did not defeat him—for that is sometimes done, Pres who knows that Bourne is a republi- Roosevelt discharged three compa can. Gearin, though a democrat, is a of colored soldiers without a thoroughly honorable man and a gen- martial, in doing this, he pu tleman, and respected by people of all ed innocent men for the crime parties and classes. Who can say as few. In doing this, he transc much for Bourne? As to the senator for about five or six weeks, Mr. F. W. Mulkey will be elected without opposition. He is well deserving of the honor, and would make an acceptable senator for the full term, at least a far more acceptable one than the man selected under the U'Ren performance for that honor. Mr. Mulkey will not be able to accomplish much in a month, but he will do what he can. FITNESS A TEST. A Polk county paper declared that "the question of Jonathan Bourne's fitness for the office of senator was out of order at this late day," but is this so? Is this question not always in order until the ballot is taken? Suppose members of the legislature should discover that Bourne was unfit to an extent that they did not believe and had no knowledge of last spring, would it not be permissible for them, would it not indeed be their duty, to change their minds about voting for him, if they had contemplated doing so, and vote instead for some fit man? The law Bourne is depending on to carry him into the senate, is one that must be considered as binding on members who subscribed to Statement No. 1 under certain circumstances, one of them being the fitness of the man selected at the primaries. If a small plurality of the party voters made a mistake then, that is no reason why that mistake should be ratified next winter. Discussing this matter The Dalles Optimist says: "The members of the coming legislature are intelligent men, and if they do their duty as they see it they will receive the applause and approbation of a very large majority of the citizens of Oregon. And we have faith enough in human nature to believe that they will act intelligently and leave Jonathan at home and elect a man of their own choice, as the constitution of the United States says they shall. An Indianapolis man writes as follows to the Star of that city: "There is no resolution to introduce against the Negro and the Constitution in regard of the Negro's right to believe that joy belongs to the man who finds that there is something yet to live for which creates prosperity and happiness and peace for all. The Negro was forced to stay here and used as a brute or slave. He has been given by our Father the rights of mankind, which no man can take away. He has been faithful over little and should he not master greater? We will rise over all disencouragements, although some of our members are cruel and unwilling to work as are some members of all other races, but we will try by honest toil and even through hardships to overcome prejudice against our enjoyment of just rights." In a speech in New York last week Booker Washington said that the students in Tuskegee college in the past year made 2,000,000 brckk. There are more than 1,500 students, representing thirty-six states and twelve foreign countries. The value of the institute property is now $800,000. It has an endowment of $1,500,000, for the material increase of which there is an active campaign on hand. "We are changing the ideal of the black race," declared Dr. Washington. "We are teaching them that labor is honorable and that idleness is not popular and they are recognizing it too. We have graduated 6,000 students and they are for the most part sober, industrious, useful men and women." Senator Morgan, of Alabama, now in his dotage, is screaming for a white man's democratic party. Well, he can have it, so far as the colored men are concerned. They don't take to that party much anyway. A colored man was elected to the municipal bench in Chicago, but has been counted out. The party wanted the colored men's votes, without rendering any equivalent therefor. Tillman is not afraid to tell what he believes to be the truth, and he sometimes hits it right, as he did when he said in Chicago: "Now, as a general illustration of the injustice that is sometimes done, President Roosevelt discharged three companies of colored soldiers without a court-martial, and, in doing this, he punished innocent men for the crime of a few. In doing this, he transcended the authority of the law, and he ought not to have done it." An exchange having alluded to Larry Sullivan, The Dalles Optimist says: "When it comes right down to cases we would about as soon see Larry senator from Oregon as Bourne. We could depend on Larry standing by Roosevelt, but if Bryan should run out against Roosevelt where would Bourne be?" "To hell with the law," says Senator Tillman. And he a United States Senator. What would he think of a colored man in any official position who would say that publicly. The President may conclude that for once at least, he made a mistake when he discharged hundreds of faithful and innocent colored soldiers for the fault of a few. The people will have a large cause for thankfulness when they can rid themselves of that intolerable and insolent railroad nuisance on Fourth street. So there are bigger land frauds than those committed in Oregon, and it is Harriman's railroad system that was the beneficiary. It will be pretty safe for the legislature to do the opposite of whatever Frank Baker proposes, if he is in earnest about it. The colored people of Portland, along with the rest, had much to be thankful for, and were duly thankful. Oregon people should patronize their friend, J. J. Hill, rather than their enemy, Harriman. Oregon ought to send a straight-out true-blue Republican to the Senate. COMPANY PAYS THE FINES. Law Fails to Punish Railroad Officials for Rebating. Chicago, Nov. 26.—Railroad officials fined by the government for rebating do not pay the fines themselves. The stockholders pay the bills. Such at least is the case of the Chicago, Burlington & uicney, according to evidence submitted today to F. K. Lane, of the Interstate Commerce commission. The evidence was taken in connection with the punishment of the railroad recently by a $40,000 fine and of First Vice President Darius Miller and Traffic Agent C. C. Burnham by fines of $10,-000 each on charges of rebating. Today's hearing came on a charge that $20,000 of the road's funds had been used to pay Miller's and Burnham's fines. "Solicitor Dawes, of the road, paid the fines to Clerk MacMillan of the United States court," testified General Auditor Sturgis. "He tendered a $60,000 check signed by Cashier W. F. Fabian. It was accepted in payment of all three fines. The amount of the check was not entered as a single amount on the books. It was placed in the 'correction of freight earnings' account and spread over two months, April and May. The account contained entries necessary in errors in accounts of freight earnings — claims arising through demands on overcharges and the like. The $60,000 was spread over two months that the monthly report of the road that carried the freight might not show too large a reduction for a single month." Italy Admits American Pork Rome, Nov. 26.—The board of health has decided to admit American pork into Italy without other requirement than the regular certificate of the American department of Agriculture. A microscopic inspection will not be made, it being considered that the hygienic measures taken in the United States are sufficient to warrant the purity of the meat. THE PIONEER PAINT COMPANY.

Mr. Crawford is greatly surprised at the growth of Portland in the 15 years since he resided here. On Nov. 22d. Rev. J. C. Tolliver of the Bethel A. M.

Mr. Keen’s friends are a unit in advising him in the future to confine his efforts to pacifying belliz- erents of the genus homo, a task which he has often shown his ability to ac- complish.

Resolu- tions were adopted condemning the ac tion of the President in the wholesale Gischarge of Negro troons of the 25th infantry without even the semblance of a trial, as being unconstitutional, prejudical’ and unpolitic. A commit: tee was appointed to draft a set of resolutions and forward the same to the President as the sentiment of the Negroes of Oregon. IN BEHALF OF OUR BROTHERS IN BLACK. (By Robt. P.

My grandmother she At the age of eighty-three One day in May was taken il! and died, And after she was dead ‘The will, of course, was read, By the lawyer, as we all sat side by side. ‘To my brother it was found She had left a hundred pounds; The same to my sister, I declare; But when it came to me, The lawyer said: “I see Granny's only left to you her old arm- ‘chair.” CHORUS. How they tittered, how they Ianghed!! How my sister and my brother at me chatfed, When they heard the Inwyer declare “Granny's only left to you her old arm- chair.” I thought it hardly fair, But still 1 did not care. -In the evening I took the chair away. The neighbors nt -me laughed, My brother at me chatfed, Said he: “Jobrt, the chair will be of use to you some day. When you settle down in iife And find some girl to be your wife ‘The chair will be of use to you, I declare. On a cold and stormy night When the fire ts burning bright, You can sit in your old armchair.” What my brother said was true, For in a year or two, I, strange to say, was settled down in life. At first the girl I courted, And then the ring I bought, I took her to the church, and she's my wife. Oh! that dear old girl and me Were as happy as could be, And when my work was over, I declare ‘L never cared to roam, But always stayed at’ nome, And would sit in my old armchair. One night the chair broke down And on picking up I found ‘The bottom had fallen out upon the Boor, And right before my eyes T saw to my surprise Notes for a thousand pounds or more. When my brother heard of this Why, the fellow,. I confess, Was maddened with rage and tore his hair. But I only laughed at him, And said to him: “Jim, Don't you wish you had the old arm- chair?” CHORUS (to last verse). How I tittered, how I langhed, How I at my brother and my sister chaffed, When I beard the lawyer declare “Granny's left a fortune in the old arm- chair!” SOME RURAL SAYINGS. There Are Many of Them in Which Bellet Can Still Be Found. While signs and sayings are not so rife as they once were in the New En- gland country, they are still extant to a considerable degree among the old people,and perhaps still more 0 among the children. This sort of thing al- ways has appealed to the imagination of the child, and very likely always will, Clifton Johnson tells In the New England Magazine a number of bits of superstitious lore which he gathered from an elderly farmer familiarly known as “Gramp,” diminutive for “grandpa.” Their first experience to- gether, with the witchhazel crotch, seeking for water, did not prove to be successful, for although the crotch, which the old farmer held firmly in both hands, with the extremity point- Ing vertically in the air, tipped strong- ly downward when over a certain spot, subsequent digging failed to disclose ‘ny water. The farmer's faith in the ‘method, however, was not in any way dissipated. "Another superstition in which the farmer placed implicit confidence was that storms always clear off at 9 in the morning, at noon, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at sunset, at midnight, or at sunrise. Mr. Johnson feels, how- ever, that It would be @ very ingenious storm which could clear off at « time sufficiently removed from the times named not to be assigned to one of them by the weatherwise. It Is also believed that the weather on any given day will be as it Is between 12 and 2 in the morning. A cold snap can be de- pended upon If the dog comes into the house and puts his head under the mat. If the wind dies down at sunset it will plow again the next day. One of the popular feminine beliefs 1s that if a pin is held between the teeth while peeling onions it will prevent the tears coming. Rats can be driven out of a house by catching one, tarring and feathering it and turning It loose. A simple eure for hiccoughs is for the afflicted one to see how near to- gether he can hold bis little fingers without their touching. Toothache may be prevented by cutting a little trom each toe and finger nail, wrapping the euttings In white paper or birch bark and putting them In a hole bored in a pine tree. “Close the hole by plug- ging,” sald the farmer, “and you won't have any trouble from aching teeth as Jong as you live.” Unfortunately this will not prevent the loss of teeth by decay. Rheumatism can be cured by putting mustard in the shoes, and nose- bleed by putting a plece of paper under the tongue or a key on the back of the neck. A cure-all almost equal to some at a spring on Easter morning before monies. “Drink little of It if any- thing is the matter inside of you and THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON {f you have a sora spot rub It on out-| CHICAGO WIDOWS UNIT! side,” advised the vid farmer, “You' ee be surprised to se what It does fos "t=htins che Wolf tram 180% Zou, no matter what disease you've, An organization of widows ah Unfortunate fishermen will do well ave,.a@ Sbartment house to heed the admonition not to cut ® tribution to the world’s noveltle twig to string the fish on until the first tw caught.

Shakspeare has lately been de- nounced as a snob, and I am afraid that affair of the bogus coat of arms shows that he was not entirely free from the snobbery of feudalism, but uo one knew better than he—no one felt more strongly than he—that above all monarchs sits a great suzerain, the Lord of the Pen, who uses kings und who utters truths or lies according to his pleasure, says a writer in Harper's Magazine. When Oharles XII. wanted his Hbrarian to hand from the library a yolume of history, he used to say, “Give me my Har.” And well he might. But if you come to the fine accomplish- ment of lying, what Is the mere jog- trot muse of history to the muse of poetry, agalnst whose slanderous utter- ances there Is no appeal? Supposing that in the unknown coun- try of shadows which les beyond the stars of the shade of King Macbethad, son of Fiunlaech (who fell at the bat- tle of Lumphanon, after having for seventeen years reigned over Scotland —reigned with so generous a hand that he was called “Macbethad the Lib- eral”)—supposing that this wronged hero en bien should happen to meet the shade of the author of Macbeth, and suppose that the warrior-king should protest, with the meekness that —be- comes a king In confronting a poet, against the wrong done to hls memory —suppose he should ask the poet what was his justification for having de- pleted him as the protagonist of assas- slus—him who had never killed a man In his Ife save In open battle, while Dunean, his supposed victim, really did succeed to the Scottish throne because his path had been somehow made clear for him by a family murder—suppose Macbeth should presume to ask such ‘a question of the poet, what reply would the shade of the suzerain make? Would he deign to make any reply at all, or would he simply beckon to the shade of Raphael Holinshed (from ‘whose chronicle the story of Macbeth Js drawn) to relleve him from the irk- someness of answering idle questions? MORGUE MAN FEARS CRICKETS. Night Attendant Flees When Mears One. Fright is a condition unknown te Fritz Welderman, except when he hear a cricket, says the New York World. For twelve years Fritz has been a night employe of the Philadelphia morgue and for four years he has been sleeping there. Yet this man, who can handle a body with as little emotion as If he were put ting lce in a refrigerator, to whose nostrils the odor of disinfectants 1s as grateful as that of violets to a spring Poet, has one vulnerable spot in his armor of unconcern, and it is plerced by the chirp of a cricket. Nothing 80 sinister as a centipede ot 0 threatening as a mouse can shake Fritz’ stolid sensibilities, but a cricket, a little, hopping, skipping cricket, with its ragtime chirp, can throw him Into a clammy perspiration. Then his voice quayers like that of a woman who has Just discovered moths in her best car- pet, and dozens of sturdy shivers go sprinting up and down his spinal col- umn. When asked about this {diosyneracy, Fritz was down in the cold, chill base- ment, aud a8 he spoke he shoved a body back tuto Its compartment with the affectionate concern of a bouse- wife putting a loaf of bread Into’ the oven. “Yes,” he admitted, trembling. “I'm afrald of them crickets.

Not only those who live In the home will benefit by the great work that is being started. | NEW THING IN BASEBALL. ‘Up-to-Date Report of a Game that Has Not Been Played. | ‘The game was called with Molasses at the stick. Smallpox was catching. Coal was in the box and had lots of steam, Horn was playing Gret base and Fiddle second base. Corn was in ‘the fleld and Apple was umpire. When Ax came to bat be chopped and Coal let Brick Walk and Sawdust fill the bases. Song made a bit and Twenty ‘made a score. Every Foot of ground kicked and said Apple was rotten. Bal- Joon started to pitch, but went up in the alr. When Spider caught a fly the crowd cheered. Old Ice kept cooling the game until Coal burned him with a pitched ball. You should have heard Ice Cream. Cabbage had a good head and kept quiet. Organ refused to play and Bread loafed around and put him out In the fifth inning Wind began to blow about what he could do and Hammer began to knock; then the Trees began to leave. Knife was put out for cutting first base. There was lots of betting on the game and Egg went broke, but Soap cleaned them up. They all kicked when in the heat of the game Coal was put out and his future temporarily coked, but not be- fore he roasted Pork good and hard for his pigheadedness. Balloon went up in the air again when Pig began to root. The score was 1 to 0 when Ap- ple told Fiddle to take hfs base. Oats was shocked, not having a grain of sense. Song made another hit and Trombone tried to slide, but was jut out. Meat was playing for a big steak, but was put out on the plate after hay- ing roasted the umpire. The score. was 2 to 1 and the game was over. Door said if he had pitched the game he would have shut them out—Re- Rectan.

Financial reward for high standing and financial loss for poor work on the part of students of Columbia university is the novel plan announced by the faculty officers for the year 1907-08. On this planitation is to be paid for on the basis of $5 per point, a point meaning the successful completion of work one hour a week for half a year. This would make the total course for the three years amount to $620, except where deduction is made for scholarship. Any students who are credited with 94 points may receive one point extra toward a higher degree. Thus it will be possible for a student to get twelve extra credits in three years and for this $60 will be deducted from his tuition. On the other hand, students lose $5 for every course in which they fail and the fee for delinquent examinations is $5. Negro Artist Wins Prize. The $500 Harris prize for the best painting at the nineteenth annual exhibition of American paintings, now open at Chicago, has been awarded to Harry O. Tanner, a Pennsylvania negro, for his work entitled "The Disciples at the Tomb." Mr. Tanner is a Pittsburg artist, who has studied in the best Paris studios. His works have been hung in the Luxembourg, the Carnegie institute, the Philadelphia academy of fine arts and elsewhere. Methodist Publishing Merger.

Such treatment will quiet the pain temporarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheumatism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. NOVEMBER AILMENTS THEIR PREVENTION AND CURE November is the month of falling temperatures. Over all the temperate regions the hot weather has passed and the first rigors of winter have appeared. As the great bulk of civilized nations is located in the temperate zones, the The human System Must Adjust Itself to Changing Temperatures. effect of changing seasons is a question of the highest importance. When the weather begins to change from warm to cold, when cool nights succeed hot nights, when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry days, the human body must adjust itself to this changed condition or perish. The perspiration incident to warm weather has been checked. This detains within the system poisonous materials which have heretofore found escape through the perspiration. Most of the poisonous materials retained in the system by the checked perspiration find their way out of the body, if at all, through the kidneys. This throws upon the kidneys extra labor. They become charged and overloaded with the poisonous excretory materials. This has a tendency to inflame the kidneys, producing functional diseases of the kidneys and sometimes Bright's disease. Peruna acts upon the skin by stimulating the emunitory glands and ducts, thus preventing the detention of poisonous materials which should pass out. Peruna invigorates the kidneys and encourages them to fulfill their function in spite of the chills and discouragements of cold weather. Peruna is a combination of well tried harmless remedies that have stood the test of time. Many of these remedies have been used by doctors and by the people in Europe and America for a hundred years. Peruna has been used by Dr. Hartman in his private practice for many years with notable results. Its efficacy has been proven by decades of use by thousands of people and has been substantiated over and over by many thousands of homes.

Here Are Some Suggestions by a Writer on Education. A writer in an American educational journals offers some interesting suggestions for teaching children, says the Dundee Advertiser. It is useless, he suggests, to instruct children by using technical terms or even terms that would be descriptive to a grown-up. The point is illustrated by an ingenious parallel. Instead of telling a child to "sit up straight" it would be better to tell him to "sit up tall." In the same way if a child shouts too loudly in singing, he should be told to "listen" after taking "a long smell," and if he realizes what is meant and does it, this will set the muscles of the waist and check the flow of breath, while the child will be unconscious to its action." "Such suggestion as the following do far more good than scientific terms in procuring the right tone-production from the child. Do not sing in a growling tone. Do not sing in a scolding tone." "A fish horn tone sounds terribly descriptive, but we imagine its vividness would be lost on an English child. Sing with a pleasant face. Sing with a smile. Sing like the sweetest bird you ever heard. Sing a kindly tone. Sing a sweet, loving tone. Make your lips sing to you. Whisper aloud, as though you wanted some friend in the furthest corner of the room to hear you." It is to be hoped that after all this there would be no danger of the children learning to sing in a maudlin tone. Mothers will find Mrs. Winstow's Soothing Syrup the best remedy to use for their childrens during the teething period. A Long-Legged Deer. A Long-Legged Deer. A huge, finely mounted antlered head hung just above the sideboard in the dining-room. This trophy of some huntsman's skill was fastened so firmly to the wall that the glistening neck seemed to be coming right out through the plaster. Robert, who was seeing this decoration for the first time, eyed it with lively curiosity and very evident unnessiness. It looked almost too life-like for comfort. Finally the boy, asking to be excused, slipped from his chair, tiptoed into the next room, and then, flushing with embarrassment, returned to his place at the table. “What's the trouble, Robert?” asked his host. “I wanted to see,” explained candid Robert, sheepishly, “if that animal's legs were really as long as that, or if he were standing on something in another room.” Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely destroy the whole system of surfaces.

Inventions Which Have Made the Largest Returns to Investors. It pays to think—even about trifles. Not long ago a young man who was visiting in a strange city had that experience known to so many when riding on street cars. He wanted to get off at a certain street, the name of which he knew, but the locality of which he was in ignorance. The car was crowded. He had told the conductor the name of the street, but, as is not unusually the case, the conductor forgot. "Your street's two blocks back," said the conductor suavely when the young man asked him if he had arrived yet. More or less angrily, the youth said: His Visits to the Earl. There is a well known English who writes a very bad hand. The hand caused a sad error to him some years ago. A young clerk had written to the bishop to about a vacant curacy, and the that the young man got informe that the salary was small and the difficult. But there was one miti circumstance. The incumbent, his other duties, would visit the every morning and spend two there. The curate would have re the post but for the daily visit earl. That attracted him. There no doubt, he told himself, be fashionable dinners to which he naturally be invited. He would many friends among the rich "It's a wonder somebody wouldn't think of something that would tell a passenger when he got to his street." "Well, why don't you invent something?" asked the conductor. The young man got to thinking and to working. The other day he refused $200,000 for a street car device that could be utilized to show the names of the streets automatically. He thinks it is worth more. The man or woman who conceive an idea that is patentable almost invariably has visions of immense wealth, but how the dream is realized may be found by consulting the patent office authorities, the men who handle thousands of these "children of the brain" that never bring to their inventors even the amount of money necessary for getting them patented. But, on the other hand, there are a great many patents that have made their originators immensely wealthy, and famous as well. One would naturally suppose that the greatest returns would be from the large affairs, such as the electric railroad, the telephone and the telegraph, but such is not the case, for the small household inventions, mechanical toys and puzzles have given quicker returns and greater profits for the money expended than any of the large affairs. The man who invented "Pigs in Clover" happened to strike the public fancy, and millions of people all over the country were chasing the little marbles into the middle pen. That man made millions on his simple puzzle because he launched it at the right time. J. W. McGill in 1867 invented the little metal paper fastener, without which no office is now considered complete, and though but a trifle it made wealth for its inventor. Such a little thing as the rubber tip on a pencil brought $200,000 to its inventor, Hyman L. Lipman, and that small piece of metal which you wear on the heel of your shoe to protect it had made up to 1887 over $1,000,000 for its projector. A man named Canfield first hit upon the notion of making armpit shields seamless with a sheet of cloth covered with rubber, and it brought him an income of many thousands a year. The man who invented the metal fastenings for buttons must have been a bachelor, for it did away with sewing, but it made him a millionaire. The barbed wire fence, about which many have said unkind things as they disentangled themselves, was worth over $1,500,000 in royalties to the originator. A countryman, whose loss from eggs being broken on their way to market was a serious thing, evolved the idea of packing them in seperate compartments, and this simple device is now used altogether, and that countryman is not obliged to toll for his daily bread. Criminals have played an important part in some of the world's greatest inventions, and some have made small fortunes out of their discoveries. Charles Filler, who devised the new locksitch sewing machine, was serving his fourth term for burglary when his idea was perfected. When he was released his idea was backed by some capitalists and he was given a salary of $5,000 a year to superintend the construction of the machines, in addition to a royalty. At the same time he sold his English rights for $50,000 cash and $25,000 worth of stock of the English company.—Chicago Inter Ocean. The Sultan of Brunel is 83 years of age—at least so he told me. And while he stoops as he walks, he makes the appearance rather of a temporary invalid than of an old man. He seemed pleased when I told him that he might pass for 60; and indeed he might, for his face is singularly free from wrinkles. His expression of benevolence suggests the late Leo XIII—his smile is engaging, albeit tinged with sadness. His house was ruling when the Roman empire had hardly ceased to crumble. His ancestors gave the law to a vast eastern empire when Europe was but a patchwork of barbarous chiefs, and when, after centuries, Spanish and Portuguese found their way to the Spice Islands they laid propitiating gifts at the feet of the Borneo Sultan—as vassals, humbly begging the right to live within his dominions. Brunei is still the metropolis of native Borneo—indeed, the name Borneo is but a corruption of Brunei—yet few maps show the existence of this empire. —Harper's Magazine A Candid Estimate. "What do you think of that bank robbery of a hundred thousand dollars?"

There is a well known English bishop who writes a very bad hand. This bad hand caused a sad error to happen some years ago. A young clergyman had written to the bishop to inquire about a vacant curacy, and the reply that the young man got informed him that the salary was small and the work difficult. But there was one mitigating circumstance. The incumbent, among his other duties, would visit the earl every morning and spend two hours there. The curate would have rejected the post but for the daily visit to the earl. That attracted him. There would, no doubt, he told himself, be many fashionable dinners to which he would naturally be invited. He would make many friends among the rich and powerful. These friends would be able to help him in his career. The earl, perhaps, had daughters. One of them—who knows?—stranger things had happened. And so the curate accepted the difficult and poorly paid curacy to discover on his first visit to the town that he had mfsread the bishop's letter and that his daily two hours' visit was not to the earl, but to the jail. Cheerfully Admitted. Miss Gabbell—I'm stronger than you are, anyway. I can step up to a horizontal bar and chin it sixteen times. Miss Chillicon—I have no doubt of it. I believe you could step up to that or anything else and chin it all day long. Blood Humors Commonly cause pimples, boils, hives, eczema or salt rheum, or some other form of eruption; but sometimes they exist in the system, indicated by feelings of weakness, languor, loss of appetite, or general debility, without causing any breaking out. Hood's Saraparilla expels them, renovates, strengthens and tones the whole system. This is the testimony of thousands annually. Accent no substitute, but insist on having Hood's Sarsaparilla In usual liquid form or in chocolate tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 doses $1. A Lofty Death. Asama is a volcano in Japan. A young man of that country grew despondent the other day and threw himself into the crater, leaving this letter: "Suffering a feeling of despair impels me to throw myself into the crater of vehement Asama, thus winning a splendid death and ascending the mountain's smoke to a lofty life above the sky." A Well Known Remedy One of the oldest safest and most favorable known remedies in the world today is Brandreth's Pills—a blood purifier and laxative.
