A mass of humaniiy was jammed into the balcony stairway, sur­ rounded by smc»ke and liamei-. The mass soon settled back iuto a death pose, and there they were found by Iire- rnen. Trueks. express wagons and pa trol wagons were all in use earryint away the bodies. The asbestos curtain In the theatre would not work, and the Hamos swept at once to the pit and adjoining walls. AU the exits wove soon eUoUed by frantic women and children, and those on the inside, terror stricken at the advancing dames and smoke, weve un­ able to move either way. Cliildren were taken from the ruins, some burned to a crisp. and others trampled beyond recognition. ‘Women by the score were found in a tangled and scorched mass near the stairway. The theatre was almost in darkness in the second act. The Magc was lighted only by the soft artificial beams from the calcium, which lent beauty to The scene during the singiug of ihe “.Moonlight Song" by the double sex­ tette. A Hash of Hame shot across through the flimsy draperies, started by a spark. A show girl sc-reamed hysterically. The singers stopped short, but with presence of mind the director increased the volume of the muste. Scores rose in their seals as the stage manager shouted an order for the continuation of the song. It was obeyed with feeble hearts. The girls forced the words from their throats until two of their number swooned. Clouds of smoke poured from the stage into the auditorium, enveloping the struggling mass of panic-stricken men, women and children. Behind the scenes all was coufusion. It required but a moment to perceive that the fire had gone too far to be conquered by the amateur fire brigade formed by the stage hands. In ih».» dressing rooms as high as the sixth story were the score of girls of the ballet. At the first alarm tin* elevator boy fled from his post. .tJtid the Hames soon shot upward in the wings and made escape by the narrow stairway Impossible. The screams from the imprisoned girls in the upper rows of dressing rooms came to the ears of the more fortunate below, as they rushed to the stage doors. Some stopped for a brief moment, thinking 1o give aid, Imi Ilir clouds of smoke, growing denser and denser, forced them to flee. Their escape even then was miraculous. The blackened bodies which choked i the aisles and stairways, the lines of policemen and firemen carrying Jimp forms from the building, the overtaxed hospitals, the rows of dead and dying in the surrounding buildings, v. hicli were thrown open to the sulterers. toll briefly the tale. Only a few of the terrifying incidents will ever bo known. Great loss of life was prevented and many lives were saved by Ihe heroic rescue work of the students, faculty, janitors and workmen iu ihe North­ western University building. The res­ cue work of the people iu the top bal­ cony was effectively done by the peo­ ple in the universiiy building. Tin* platform of the theatre tire exits on the top balcouy was directly opnosih* the third floor lire escape platform of the university building and on a Hth.* •with the. hvw school lecture room. Kalsominers. decorators and painters were at work in this lecture room, using large planks to make plat­ forms. The first seconds of the rush for life Costa Rica Heeognijces Panama. Senor Calvo, the Costa Kican Minis­ter,. informed Assistant Secretary of State Loomis at Washington, 1>. that his Government had formally ex­ tended recognition to the Governmeut of Panama. omofrg those in the audience were quiet, according to those who live to tell the tale. Few, if any, in that throng realized what was to come. They thottght only of themselves as they pushed and struggled for every inch as they advanced toward the es> its. For an instant the stairways leading from the balcony were a mass of strug­gling people. with scores behind con­ stantly pushing Woser and fighting to get out. Those in the vau, tillable to keep their footing; fell headlong. Those behind fell over their prostrate forms* Wiishing aud suffocating them. The scene was then a bedlam. Women aud children were in the majority of the fighting crowd, and their shrieks of fear mingled with the groans of the in* jured and the prayers of supplicants to God. Women seized then* babies In Ibeic arms, frantically clung to them, be­ seeching ears that were deaf to en­ treaty to save them from the terrible fate impending. ITad those appealed to been so disposed they conid not have given the assistance so piteously be­sought* In the last hope, bovn of desperation, scores of those in the balcony, climbed to the railing and leaped to the pit of the theatre, many feet below. Their bodies were found long afterward, when the smoke had cleared away and the firemen could grope their way with '•interns into the place. Th© dense smoke quick]; rose to the top of the building. To a score of those who had sought to-jump from the gal­lery the smoke was kind, for it brought death quickly. Three women were found hanging over the rail, their faces distorted with agonies of death. l'Tom a dozen sources the alarm went to lire, headquarters, hut before the vanguard of engines wheeled into Kan- dolpli street a dense crowd had gath­ ered in front of the theatre. The fire­ men were quick to act, but hundreds of bodies were already motionless with­ in the walls of the playhouse so re­ cently opened.An awe-stricken crowd stood fixedly as those who had been nearest the doors rushed out, their eyes wild with fear. Tiicse yelled fire at the top of their voices, and the cry was UiLcu ttp by the crowd and carried far into busy State 8 tree. and the other avenues of eoiuiiKtce. 2 lone realized at that minute what hnd occurred. Kaeli man asked his neighbor if there had beeu loss of life o.* injury. Not until the first black- etiod and limp body was borne forth in the arms of a policeman did the impor­ tance of the disaster begin to dawn on those iu the street. In fifteen minutes niueteeu dead bod­ ies were carried out the Randolph street entrance. Then they came so fast that all count was lost. Every hospital in the city hurried am- bulances to the scene, and with them every surgeon who could be spared. They wen? as nothing, though, as com­ pared to the need. Two and three, and in many cases even more, were hud­ dled into the ambulance and hurried off to the hospitals, where kiudiier at­ tention could be given them. The great majority of those who had occupied orchestra seats escaped with their lives, though scores were badly hurt in the rush. Some were knocked down, and with broken limbs were un­ able to rise. They were left to die with a number of women who fainted from fright. With these bodies were found the corpses of those who had leaped from the balcony aud gallery. In the exits of the balcony and gal­leries the greatest loss of life occurred. When the firemen went to remove the bodies they found a hundred or more piled in a mass in each place. The clothes were torn completely away from some of the bodies. Here and there a jewelled hand protruded from the pile. AU the faces were distorted with pain. From beneath one mass there sudden­ ly came the moan of a woman. Tremb­ ling hands plunged their way iuto the tangle of human forms, aud with a mighty effort pulled to the surface the woman. The blackened lips parted, and a fireman bent over her to catch the words. "My child, my poor little boy. where is he? Oh, do bring him to me.” Again the lips parted.“Is he safe? Tell me he is safe and I ean die.” ■•He is safe,” the fireman muttered, aud all knew his reply was best. She died, and her body was lifted with those of hundreds of others in that one spot. The calamity was so overwhelming that the firemen arid the policemen, who were the first to reach the upper parts of the house, could not realize iis astonishing extent. They begau by dragging a body or two from the terri­ ble piles at the head of the stairways, as if they did not know the piles were made of human bodies. Gradually the full significance of the catastrophe dawned upon them. AU the lights of the theatre had been ex­tinguished. The lanterns of the fire­ men cast only a dim glow over the piles of dead. From the bodies arose small curls of steam. The firemen had drenched the piles before they knew they were made of human corpses.Then the work of taking out the in­ animate forms began. There were con­ stant appeals for more help. The bod­ ies of little children, torn aud bleeding, wore tenderly lifted, each by a Iirt- meu or policeman, and carried to the street below. Two or three men were needed to bear the heavier burdens. Kvery now and then a form faintly breathing was dragged out of 1he pile. These were handled with even more tenderness than the others as they werii carried down the marble stairway of the gilded foyer. Now and then a faint groan was heard coming from the bottom of the pile. This was the sig­ nal for renewed and frantic efforts on the part of the rescuers to untangle the human mass. In the balcony scattered about the aisles and among the charred seats. \vovg found many bodies. One mother, clasping her child, was found kneeli&g as if in prayer, with her back to the stage, from which had come the death dealing sheet of flame. She had pro­ tected her child from the flames, but the littlo one was dead in the arms o t its mother. As the work of rescue pro­ gressed dozens of blankets Were brought^ Siud the bodies were carried down iii these: The scene, immediately after the fire was got under control and the work of rescue began, was appalling. AU the gilt and tinsel of the theatre, all the silks and plushes, all the rich hang­ings, all the frescoes, had been wiped out. The Hames from the stage had swept the entire theatre and left their blight everywhere*. The upholstery oil many of the seats Was still intactj though* But for the failure of some one to act, when action meant life for hundreds, only a few might have per­ ished. The thin sheet of asbestos lliat could have saved ali faiiediIn a Vemarkably short iime meii whose wives and children had gone to see uMr. Bluebeard” reached the scene. It was a hopeless task to try to find Uieir loved ones. Through Ihe tiers of dead aud dying in the buildings all about men aiud women searched with frenzied faces. Now and again a searcher would find one for whom he looked. When the dead was found the searcher knelt: In prayer, One man pushed Iiis way Into the lobby of the theatre. IIis eyes were blinded with fear and he did not sec* the firemen pass out with unconscious forms. Before a group of men he stood for a moment. Then he asked I*; any one had been injured in the fire. ‘•My wife and boy were there,” he murmured. ‘-Did every one get out;” Tears came to the eyes of the men in the little group. At that instant five firemen staggered down the stairs, each bearing a htiiinan form. One of the men pointed to them, and the husband and father fell to the floor. Amid even such sad scene? the pick­pockets were busy. The police kept watch as best they could, but the ghouls snatched many purses from the dead and dying, and wrenched rings from the fiugers that could no longer offer resistance. Several of these men were caught in their work. They re­ ceived at the moment punishment all too light for Jlheir crime. Only a few were arrested and taken to the police station, where they will lie held to await the course of the law. The chorus was compelled to dress in the cellar. Many of the women were in the dressimg room when the fire started. Exit from the cellar was cut off by heavily barred doors. The men were forced to break them open. Dur­ ing this delay many of the girls re­ ceived painful burns. Tlie girls were forced into the street wearing tights. They took reitugc in the Union Hotel and the Sherman House. Viola MacDonald, one of iho most beautiful chorus girls on the stage, was in tights when the cry of “fire” rang through the theatre. She turned to the girl next to her and said: ‘Til not go out on the street in these tights if I am burned to death.” She then ran down stairs to a dress­ ing room to put on her skirt. She got into the skirt and then heard a crash overhead. She found her egress barred by falling and burning timbers. She was the last person to leave the stage part of the theatre without injury. She was hauled through a coal hole by three brawny firemen. Father McDonald of the Holy Name Cathedral, in company with S. E. Car­ roll, came along Dearborn street, when the shrieks of the chorus girls who tried to get out of the theatre reached them. Father McDonald and Mr. Carroll rushed into the alley and saw four girls trying to get out through a coal hole back of the stage of the theatre. The priest and his friend rescued the four women, who were taken to their homes. Their names are Violet Young, Dora Selfe. Alice if. Bartlett and Dodie V. Goodman. In the basement of the theatre when the fire started, Maggie Levine was in charge of twelve girls who were pre­ paring to appear in the scene entitled “The Hunters.” When JIiss Levine, heard the cries of fire and the sounds of the commotion following over her head, she shouted, ‘ My God, girls what can be the matter?” A moment later a panic stricken crowd of fifty, or more chorus girls were struggling for their lives. Smoke rolled down through the trap doors in suffocating clouds and almost oblit­ erated the dim lights from the ir.can- descents. Doxiie Marlowe, Dot Down, ing. Kazd Belasco and Marie .Iauette were knocked down and trampled by their sister chorus girls and the few men in the chorus. Doxie Marlowe was so much overcome by the smoke that she was unconscious for the time being and had to be carried out. •Tames Gallagher, a member of the men's chorus, took command of the frightened aud half-suffocated girls and instructed them to take hold of one an­ other's hands. He took the lead and grasping the foremost of the girls by the hand led the way through the base­ ment from 1he stage to the front of the theatre building, where he reached the coal cellar mider the sidewalk in Ran­dolph street. With a stick lie forced the coal hole covers off and this sufficed to sicnal the firemen thr.t help was wanted.' Ladders were lowered and each of the fifty girls and their male companions were drawn out of the basement. Some had sisters and all had friends In the blazing building. The bitter cold pierced them through and through, for they were clad only 111 their thin stage gowns, with necks and arms exposed. Nevertheless, they had to be dragged from their station in the alley and iuto neighboring stores. Lawyers Burned to Death. .Two men were burned to death at Mhe club at Troy, N. Y. Ow> was I Moses T.

The List of Dead StlU Growing— Sunday Was Day of Universal Mourning. Chicago Special.—The total number of dead in the theatre fire has been def­ initely established at 537, of which but i2 remain unidentified. Bells tolling at noon suspended busi­ ness activity, and long lines of funerals making their way to the outlying dis­ tricts where the cemeteries are situ- ated—these circumstances evidenced Chicago’s outward grief for the vic­ tims of the IitKiuois Theatre disaster Saturday. Priests and ministers of the different churches were kept busy, as they will be for some days. The unidentified dead will be kept as long as possible at the morgues. If no one comes to lay claim to the bodies they will be buried at the cities ex­ pense. By common consent of the clergy, “Lead, Kindly Light,” the great hymn written by Cardinal John New­ man, is being sung at all the funerals. When it was 12 o’clock the chimes of the North Side Church tolled a dirge and the northeast wind wafted it over the city. Before the first notes had died away, another chime, farther south, sounded a mournful intonation. Then a hundred bells broke forth in a mighty “diapason, whose iron moans seemed to reach the gray clouds and echoed back again in solemn accord. A snow storm which prevailed added to the solemnity. An intense quiet­ ness in the atmosphere itself, the ab­ sence of all holiday appearances and the numerous funeral corteges, as they slowly moved through the snow-storm, while the church bells were tolling, combined to make the occasion one as peculiarly cheerless as it was solemn and impressive. lKie city hall, except the absolutely necessary departments, was closed to­ day.’ The board of tarde closed an hour earlier than usual, and a number of mercantile and manufacturing estab- lsihments also closed earlier. The big State Btroet department stores closed their d:oors at noon. The purpose of the proprietors had been to afford fa­ cilities for the bereaved thousands to secure mourning goods by keeping the stores open. Thirty-four teachers in the public schools are known to have lost their lives in the fire, and the schools were ordered closed Monday in their mem­ory. Chicago, Special.—Sunday was a day of funerals in Chicago and for the first thime in the his-tory of the city all of the people who desired to bury their dead were unable to do so. The un­ precedented demand for hearses and carriages would have been enough in itself to task to tbe utmost the re­ sources of the undertakers, but the heavy snow that has fallen during the last two days has increased their dif­ ficulties enormously. All of the ceme­ teries in Chicago are miles from the business centre. Arrangements were made by the undertakers to have as many funerals as possible held in the early part of the day in order to allow, if possible, the use of the hearse for a second funeral in the afternoon. In a number of cases this was done, but there were instances where the fami­ lies who were to wait for tihe return of the hearse were disappointed and were compelled to defer the burial on their dead until tomorrow. The cemeteries were compelled to keep men at work all through the night digging graves, and in some ol the larger cemeteries they barely man­ aged to make them at sufficient speed. At one time this afternoon, 14 burials '*ere in progress in Kose Hill Ceme­ tery and all of them were the inter­ ments of vicitims of the fire. In the rooms of one undertaker on the south side of the city a fraternal organization held services over five members of their order at the same time, and all of them were buried side by side in Waldheim Cemetery. The funeral services over the remains of Ella and Edyth Freckelton, sisters, were held In Boulevard Hall at Ffty- fifth and Halstead streets, fully 200 persons being In attendance and 500 more stood outside in the wind until tnc tunerai had departed for Oakwood Cemetery. In the home of the millionaire manu­ facturer, Ludwig Wo3ff, on Washing­ ton boulevard, was held the quadruple funeral of his daughter, Mts. Wm. H. Garn, and her three children. A crowd of more than 1,000 people surrounded the house and the police were com­ pelled to open a passageway for tho pall-bearers.A funeral conducted in a humbler manner was held a few squares from the Wolff residence. It was that of Mrs. Mary W. Holt and her three chil­ dren, all of whom died in tihe ill-fated second balcony. Fully as many people were around the small frame church in which this funeral was held as were gathered outside the pretentious Wolff mansion, and here, as in front of Mr. Wolffs residence, the police were com­ pelled to open a passage way for the caskets as they were home to the hearses. LTST OF DEAD INCREASED TO 588. The Ust of dead was increased to 58S by the death of Leroy Rainbold, a hoy of four years, who was severely burned. Of the 10 bodies at the county morgue, four were identified today. They were Mrs. Mary A . Fair. Sadie Ludwig, Dorthy Lemenager, 13 years; Emma Reynolds. 7 years.The injured now number 103, of which there is any record, r-1Ihough the number of those who were hurt slight­ ly would swell this number greatly. CondHions Bad. Berlin, Germany, by Cable.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of The Lokal Anseiger says that conditions In theCaueassus are intolerable,owing to the Armenian revolutionary move­ ment and the excesses of the bri­ gands.

Eng. — Th.-? announcement was made by Bavou Hayashi, the Jap­ anese Minister to England, iliat Rus­ sia has decided not to grant the propos­ als submitted by Japani This iiiiOi** mation, he said, l:o had received 1to.ii Paris, and he added: “If my information from Paris is borne out by the wording of the Rus­ sian reply, nnd if the Japaucse (»oy- ernment adheres to its present ye*tV* mination, there seems to be small po.£* sibility of averting war.”The British Foreign Oftiea is unable to eontinu or deny Baron Hayasius story, but Foreign Secretary Laufc- downc informed one of the foivign Am­ bassador# that he has practical;?' givc;i up all hopes of peace.Both the Russian and Frandi I*or- eign Offices declare there is no found a-* tiou for Baron Ilayashi’s statement* and that nothing has been done as yet bv Russia in connection with the reply to Japan. In diplomatic circles here, however, Bason Hayiishi’s statement js giveu credence. He is one of the most careful diplomats at the Court of St. James, and, owing to England’s Japan­ ese alliance, is more closeiy acquainted with the Russo-Japanese negotiations than Japanese Ministers at other capi* tals. The fact that the information came to him through tbe British Gov­ ernment takes away the importance of the denials of the Japanese Ministers at Paris and other capitals that they have such information, as England can get Russian news from sources not open to the Japanese diplomats. Baron Hayashrs story is in a meas­ ure borne out by advices that have reached the German Government that Russia’s reply was sent to Japan, and that it is not of a provocative character. Chancellor V qu Buelow has informed diplomats at Berlin that he does not be­ lieve war is within the probabilities. A rejection by Russia of the Jap­ anese proposals means war. The exact nature of the Japanese proposals has been kept secret, but it is known that in her last communication to Japan Russia made certain propositions re­ gaining Manchuria and Koreu that Japan could not accept, and Russia was invited to modify these proposi* tions, the intimation being that a re­fusal would result in war without further parleying. Baron Hayasbi’s announcement is to the effect that Rus­ sia has refused to modify her proposi­ tion. THREE KILLED IN WRECK. Two Engines, Hauliug a Limited Train, Ran Iuto Open Switch. Ashtabula, Ohio. — The east-bound limited train Koi 22 on the Lake Shore Road was wrecked two miles west of this place while running at a high rate of speed. The train ran into an open switch and three persons were killed and several others injured. The dead are: DeviIle Spring, engineer, Collin- wood, Ohio; George McIntosh, engi­ neer, Buffalo; G. W. Kelplin, fireman, Buffalo. The injured include G. W. Fowler, of S9T North Haven avenne, Chicago, who suffered a broken ankle and internal injuries, and Valerie Bu- rean, of Chicago, a maid, employed by Marshall Field, badly bruised and cut. Tbe others injured were trainmen. Two engines were hauling the train, because of the heavy snowstorm pre­ vailing. As soon as possible another train was made up and IUe passengers sent eastward. INDIANS MURDER MINERS. Piutes Shoot Two Prospectors aud Af­ terward Mutilate the Bodies. Salt Lake, Utah.—Word has just reached here of the killing of twO prospectors, William Jones and Henry Alexander, by Piute Indians. Pros­ pectors were working in Arrow Canyon range, north of the San Pedro and Los Angeles Railroad being built by .Sena­ tor W. A. Clark and his associates. Henry Stowe and James Dunlap, two other prospectors, passed their tent and found their bodies near the ashes of the camp fire. The men had been shot and the belies afterward fright­ fully mutilated. The murders are laid to Pluto In­dians from Moapa Reservation, who have been ugly of late. Many small parties have left the reservation and are roving about committing depreda­ tions on ranches and camps of survey­ ors or prospectors. DOMINICAN REBELS BEATEN. Government Troops Win at Gulken and Take the Offensive. Washington, D. C.—The State De­ partment has received a telegram from United States Minister Powell, at Santa Domingo, dated December 29, which gives a more hopeful view of the situation there. He says that two sailing vessels com­ ing from Curacoa, with arms and am­munition for the insurgents, were cap­ tured by the Government gunboats. The provisional Government is tak­ing the offensive and has sent troops to Azna.

We.comed as an Im portant Step Sn the D irection of Free Trade and on the Ground T hat H alf a Loaf Ig Better Thau No Bread. Democratic leaders in Congress and elsewhere are sitting up of nights to advance the cause of something- of their own devising which they are pleased to call “reciprocity.” They say it is the reciprocity mentioned as an economic possibility by McKiuley and Blaine. In the first place, no Repub­ lican of weight has ever suggested reciprocity in any form that could in­ terfere, in the slightest degree, with the protection of American wages, which are much the highest in the world, or with fostering the wise development of industries on our own soil. No promi­ nent Republican has ever proposed reciprocity in any except non-competi­ tive products, and not specifically in re­ gard to those. None has ever touched on the subject save as a generalization worthy of thought, but secondary to Republican protection, giving to that beneficent policy the full party recog­ nition it has always had, and always will have, unless the party moves off its old foundations. But what sort of reciprocity are Democratic managers urging upon public attention, claim­ ing to have borrowed it from eminent Republicans? It is r, slash at all pro­ tection, an entering wedge to rip up the Dingley tariff in competitive or any other products. It is simply a renewal of the fight, on shifted ground, for Democratic free trade. ‘ Thus Democrats In Congress are de­ claring that the Cuban tariff concession “is unquestionably a breach in the wall of protection,** and that Democratic votes will go to the measure for that reason. Representative "Williams, the Democratic leader in the House, insists that the Cuban bill is an example of reciprocity, and that reciprocity is a concession to the “Democratic demand for untrammeled trade relations.” A Demorcatic paper remarks that while reciprocity is a quibble and an anom­ aly, it should be welcomed by Demo­ crats as a step toward a tariff for rev­ enue only, and on the ground that half a loaf is better than none. President Roosevelt recommended the Cuban con­ cession as a “unique*’ provision to as­ sist a now nation which this country created and over which this country holds a peculiar restraint. Few Re­ publicans think that the United States is still under fiscal obligations to Cuba, or that any point of honor is involved in the action of Congress yet to come. As far as the Democratic party is con­ cerned. it is fighting protection, not trying to benefit Cuba. Thomas B. Read's last magazine ar­ ticle, published after his death, which occurred less than a year ago. was a powerful argument against reciprocity as far as it had been defined within his experience. “If yon will examine reci­ procity in detail.” he wrote, “you will find that, in nearly every case, the na­ tional revenue is sacrificed for the ben­ efit of individuals.” Probably the Cuban bill, if it goes through, will work that way. no matter what senti­ ment of supposed honor or generosity is felt by any of its advocates. Mr. Roed opposed the Cuban tariff reduc­ tion in these incisive words: “For the Republicans to desert the beet sugar interest is to desert the farmer in the one conspicuous and clear case where his industry is fostered. Under the tariff as it now is. all the sugar needed by this country can be made by the people of this country. That is in ac­ cord with our system. When we throw our markets open to the world in all things, then it will be time to do it for sugar.” Mr. Recd was a statesman of long experience in Cougress. Sena­ tor Allison, with similar training, said recently: “Reciprocity is a beautiful theory, but I am convinced that it can­ not be put into practice.” Reciprocity has grown a little more definite in one respect. It is Democratic ammunition, and seized by them with eagerness as a national campaign draws near and finds them without an issue. Repub­ licans decline to hand them an issue on a reciprocity free trade platter.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Canada’s Tariff. Insufficient tariff protection and con­ sequent inability to compete, unh American prices and cheap labor pro­ ducts from England and Germany is the cause assigned for the failure of a large cutlery concern in Brantford, Ontario. Tariff protection is a failure when it does not secure the home mar­ ket to the home producer. Canada’s industries are for the most part handi­ capped by an insufficient tariff. Her tariff will be higher before it is lower. Reciprocity dreamers in the United Slates may as well make up then* minds to that. Raise Electrio Lights. A regulation has been made In Vienna that all electric lights must bo raised to sixteen feet above the pave­ ment, as otherwise they are calcu­ lated to injure the eyesight of passen­ gers. ( } The Blind Leading the Blind* In mild and respectful pro test against the folly of favoring Cuban agriculture at the expense of American agriculture the Los Angeles Times says: “California much regrets that it can­ not agree with our sterling and stal­ wart !President that Cuban reciprocity will do no harm to any section of our common country. On the contrary, the impression is general in the State of Gold that Cuban reciprocity will hit this State in a vital place below the belt; hence the almost unanimous op­ position to the scheme in its entiretj*. YVe have been good enough to Cuba; she should now be permitted to paddle her own canoe and quit leaning on her big sister, who has been doing the nursing and coddling act quite long enough.” Sentiment such as this is reflected in the entire Republican press of Califor­ nia. Without a single exception, so far as we know, the Republican news­ papers of that State deprecate Cuban reciprocity as hurtful to California’s agricultural and fruit growing indus­ tries and as hurtful to the Republican party in California. This is not the only part of the country in which a similar view is held. There are many other sections which strenuously and sternly object to the Cuban folly- agricultural sections, too; sections which are depended upon for Republi­ can votes. Is it not strange that so few people in Washington are able to see facts, conditions and probabilities as they really exist? It seems like a veritable case of “the blind loading the blind.” ____________________ Industrial Progression. There are some British free traders who still insist that there is no reason to fear American competition in the steel industry in what arc called sec­ ondary products. They will probably be confirmed in this idea by the fact that the tinplating concern of South Wales has ordered 100.000 tons of steel bars from the United Stales. They will be rudely jarred one of these days when they realize that we make tin plates as well as steel bars. Tt will be remembered that when the controversy was on over the advisability of putting an adequate protective duty on Iiu plate that it was asserted that we could not roll the sheets. We are now turning out several hundred thousand tons annually, and plating them, and will soon be able to supply the home demand. That feat accomplished, we shall turn our attention to foreign mar­ kets.—San Francisco Chronicle. A Beal BevenuQ Tariff. As a matter of fairness to its read­ ers and the safeguarding of its own reputation for veracity, the Burlington Gazette ought to correct its pre-election siatement that “the bulk of the rev­ enue of the country is raised from a tariff and always has been.” The rev­ enues from customs for five years of the DingIey tariff, 1S9S-1902. were $lt0S2,155,855. From internal revenue and other sources, §1,554,782,501. or over fifty per cent, greater than the re­ ceipts from the tariff. — Burlington Hawk-Eye. A ro o d TarilT in Bnglancl. The fear has been expressed in some quarters that a food tax in England will lessen the market value of our ex­ ports of agriculture. Singularly enough this sort of opinion comes from those who have all their lives held that the consumer pays the tax. It cannot be denied that a British tax on food might have some effect on >he price of our agricultural exports, but it would be because of a lowered consumption on account of higher British prices, and not because the Britisher can transfer his import tax to the American produ­ cer.—Kansas City Journal.

Of course she isn’t a beauty—” “Well, I don’t know about that,” in­ terrupted Mr. Grouty with some sud­ denness. “It depends a good deal upon what you consider beauty. The girl has a lovely eye, hasn’t she, Smith?” “A fine eye,” said Smith. "And a beautifully rounded arm. Did you notice her arm, Smith?” “It was a nice arm,” said Smith. At this moment Mrs. Grouty arose suddenly and left the apartment. “Say,” said Smith, “what in thun­ der—” “Listen!” said Mr. Grouty. The sound of voices in altercation comes from the direction of the kitchen. “Mrs. Grouty is discharging the new girl,” said Mr. Grouty. “But I don’t see,” said Smith, “what—” “The truth is,” interrupted Mr. Grouty, “the new girl couldn’t broi: a steak to save her life.

Her Engagement, 'A certain music hall belle, who had just successfully “landed’ an old and wealthy nobleman, sued an Un­ popular theatre manager in London, alleging that he had not paid her suf­ ficiently well for her engagement at his place. She won the case, and was immediately inundated with flow­ ery congratulations from her friends, all of whom were glad to see the manager go down. Not content with her victory, how­ ever, the belle must needs crow over her beaten rival by packing up the choicest telegrams and despatching them to his house, with the intimation that he might make what use of them he thought proper. She regretted this last concession the next morning. Taking her at her word, the manager pasted the tele­ grams on a board outside the mnsic hall, headed them “What Miss Flight- ie’s friends think of her engagement,” and left the public to assume which engagement—the professional or the matrimonial—was meant. Then followed such messages as “Good for you, old girl!” "Pinned the old horror at last!” “Don’t let him' wriggle oft the hook!” “Stick to him till you get the dibs!” “Congrat­ ulations on your splendid haul!”—- Boston Journal.

A Letter From The Governor of Oregon* Peruua is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratulation ancl commendation testifying to the merit 9 of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Br. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. AU classes write these let­ters, from the highest to the lowest.The outdoor laborer, the iudoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, tbe statesmen, the preacher—all agree that Pemna is the ca­tarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great­est enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony.Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca­tarrh is well nigh universal; almost omni­present. Peruna is the only absolute safe­guard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pc- runa not only cures catarrh, but nrevents it. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so fortli.The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continu­ally in the house. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman he says: State op O regon , > Executive D epartm ent , j The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Dear S lrs-I have had occasion to use your Peruna medicine in m y fam ily for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it fo r other ail­ ments. Tour very truly, W. M. Lord. ] It will be noticed that the Governor' says he has not had occasion to use Pe rima for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other aiimcnls begin with a cold. Using Peruna to promptly cure coid 9, lie protects his family against other ail­ments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pemna in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such fam­ilies should provide themselves with a copy* of Br. Hartman’s free book, entitled “Win­ ter Catarrh.” Address Dr. Hartman, Co­ lumbus, Ohio. Ask Your Druggist for a free Peruna Almanac for 1904.

It is not so-now, than s to the ad ministration of McRiuley aud Roosevelt. . he money is now in the little home banks to con duct the business of the country and Wall Street can go to thunder. Mr. Democrat, how is th< trust question setting 011 your stomach these days. You remember that only a year or so ago you fellows made the trust q.iestion one of your paromount issues. Now that the Wall street gamblers are say ing publicly that they will put up their money to defeat Ro -sevelt are yon standing by yonr declara­ tion against the trust or are yon whopping over to the trust ga.u biers? Why are you so dumb on the trust question? Speak out. Don t be like Balam’s ass, The alleged purpose of Wall street gamblers not to contribute to the Republican campaign fund next year, if Roosevelt is nominat­ ed, Jias not created the uneasiness that the promoters of the report anticipated. The circulation of such a story is another evidence of the shortsightedness of Mr. Roose­ velt’s political enemies; for what could add more to the President’s strength among honest men than the assurance that the rogues a id bootllers are against him. Noone expects the Democratic party to get in sight of the goal next year, but why should its damnation be deepened by a bid from its leaders for the support of the laiv-bre.ik ing trusts and convicted grafter hunted down and east out by a Republican’administration? 'whom the gods would destroy they first, make mad,” is an old saying and it has been 'demonstrated many 1 times in the experience of the Democratic party but never more forcibly than is indicated, by the , atitnde of the pilots of that ag­ gregation at the present, tiip e ,- i Ashoxiile Rhgtefer, - Ex dtate .Jeuator Barringer, of Cabarrns county ha» lately thrown off the yoke of Democracy and uomeout on the Lord’s side—iu other words he has joined the Republican party.

HEARD SHOTS AND SCREAMS First Knocked Down One Keeper and Wounded Another. After a Desperate Conflict H i Is Vinally Cornered by Prison Offlciais and VataUy Hurt* James Garfield, a Minneapolis Bartender, Summoned His Friend and Oidered H im to Remain at the Receiver W hile H e Killed His Wife and Then Coiu- anittcd Suicide* Minneapolis, Minn.—''HokI tlie line and listen. There is going to be some­ thing doing,” telephoned James Gar­ field, a bartender, from his flat, in the third sioty of the Winfield block, oppo­ site the West Hotel in Fifth street, to G. L. Hartsock, a saloonkeeper in Sec­ ond avenue South. Hartsock listened and heard over the wire a woman’s scream, followed by reports of three shots from a revolver. He knew Garfield and his wife quar­ relled, and conjectured she was being murdered. He quickly notified the po­ lice, and a riot alarm was sent in. Patrol wagons from Police Headquar­ters carried half a dozen patrolmen. Xo time was lo*t in breaking down the door and entering tile fiat. On the floor iu the dining room lay Garfield gasping his last. He had placed the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth and pulled the trigger, the bullet lodging in his brain. In the sitting room his wife was found dead. She had been shot twice, both bullets entering her head. Gar­field lived only a few minutes. The woman, who was a vaudeville actress, was known 011 the stage as "Pearl Guyotte. She had been support­ing her husband in idleness, and taunted him with living upon her earn­ing*. IIe had threatened to kill her, and the murder was premeditated.She fought hard for life. The land­ lady in the hall heard the husband say: tTve had enough of this and you’ve got to die.”He went to the telephone and called for a certain number, and, after tele­phoning his friend Hartsock to listen, left the receiver hanging.Taking off his coat he proceeded with his butchery, first locking tlie liall door. His terror stricken wife shrieked and pleaded. He chased her from room to room, revolver in hand, and finally caught hold of her. Iu their fierce struggle tables and chairs were over­ turned.He finally succeeded in dragging her near the telephone, evidently wanting his friend at the other end of the line to hear the report of the revolver. The first shot produced only a scalp wound, but the second entered below the left car and caused instant death. Garfield shot himself while stauding directly in front of the telephone, his body falling across the threshold of the door of an adjoining room.The horrified landlady, as soon as she heard Garfield's tffrcat to kill, ran down two flights of stairs to the street hunting for a polieemau. Before she could find an officer the patrol wagon arrived. Hartsock. the saloonkeeper, says:“I thought Garfield was joking when lie called me up. but I could hear their voices as if they were talking loud, the screams, and three shots, one after the other, which sounded as if some one had beaten a drum that number of times. “I realized in a moment that murder was being committed and ’phoned to the central police station at onco.” Pearl Guyotte was known in vaude­ ville resorts throughout the Northwest.

Harney, of tlie State Prison, into insensibility with an iron pipe and shooting Centre Keeper | John Fitzgerald in the back of the shoulder, The bullet lodged in the muscles of Fitzgerald’s back. Brooks was one of the most desper­ ate convicts In the institution and some uneasiness was ’occasioned when he followed one of the deputies into the Centre and peremptorily demanded to see Head Keeper Osborne, who chanced to come to the Ceptrc at the moment. The head keeper saw that Brooks was very much excited and or­ dered that he be taken back to his cell. This order, it appeared, was not obeyed to the letter. Instead of being locked up the prisoner was put at work polish­ing some bright work about the wing. Brooks watched his opportunity and slipped up behind Deputy Keeper Har­ ney, dealt him a blow with an iron bar, felling him to the floor. Then he seized Harney’s revolver and ran to the Cen­ tre. He was confronted by Centre Keeper Fitzgerald, revolver in hand. As Fitzgerald was making his way out of the little desk thaf he occupies, Brooks blazed away and the deputy re­ turned the Are. An alarm sent in by a “trusty,” who had seen the attack on Harney, and the sound of the shots brought deputies scurrying from ft half dozen wings, and with them Head Keeper Osborne. Half ft dozen more shots were flred, and then Brooks tried to end his own iife by shooting himself in the head. He had apparently mis­ counted, the revolver In his hand being a five shooter Instead of a six shooter.When the weapon clicked the depu­ ties closed in and handcuffed the strug. gling convict, who was then locked in a dungeon by order of the head keeper, It was not known then that Brooks had been hit, tlnd the discovery was not made until after the wounded depu­ ties had been cared for. Then the dun­ geon door was opened and Brooks was found to be at the point of death. His purpose to do away with himself was strong to the end, and, with his hands manacled, he had attempted to strangle himself in the cell by wrapping his suspenders about his neck. The post mortem showed that death was due to a bullet wound received some time dur­ ing the scrimmage with the deputies. His chance of escaping from the prison' by the method he used was so small that it looks as if suicide was what he had practically settled on. Brooks was last sentenced from Hud­ son County in 1893 for robbing the home of Former Sheriff John A. Cro- nan. After serving three years of a twenty-year sentence he was sent to the JIorris Plains Asylum, from which he soon escaped.Then he was convicted of horse steal­ ing in Bhode Island and was brought back here to serve out his unexpired term. He bad been particularly ugly since his return. SEVEK TO TWO FOB GEN. WOOD. ''Z*" WASHtNGTON ITEMS, .

Atlanta, Ga., Special.—Lieutenant General John B. Gordon died at his winter home near Miami, Fla., at 10:05 o’clock Saturday night. His fatal ill­ ness, which overtook him last Wednes­ day, was congestion of the stomach and liver, following an acute attack of in­ digestion, to which he was Subjected. General -Gbrdott Was borh in Upsofl county, Georgia, July 5, 1832, of Soctch ancestry, Which had a prominent part In the Bevoiutibnary war. Young Gordon graduated frdm the Georgia'State University in 1852 and a few months later was admitted to the practice of law. Early in 1861- he en­ listed in the volunteer Confederate ser­ vice and was elected captain of his company. He rose rapidly by promo­ tion to lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Alabama Infantry in December, 1861. He participated in the struggle on the peninsula, and took part in the battle at Malvern Hill, and was commission­ ed brigadier general, November, 1862. He was in command at ChanceiIors- ville and in the Pennsylvania cam­paign. In an official report to General D. H. Hill, General Gordon was char­ acterized as “the Chevalier Bayard of the Confederacy.”When hostilities were ended, he called his men about him and advised them to bear the trial of defeat,-to go home In peace, obey the laws an! re­ build the wasted country. He has taken a prominent part in the couhcils of his !,arty since 1866. He was a defeated candidate for Governor of Georgia ifi 1868, and in 1873 and 1879 was elected to the United States Senate, resign­ ing that position in 1880, he participat­ ed actively in building the Georgia Pa­ cific Baiiroad. In 1886 and 188 he was elected Governor of Georgia and in 1890 entered again into the United States Senate for the full term. Since his re­ tirement from political activity he has devoted much of his time in lecturing presenting the North as well as the South in his lecture upon “The Last Days of the Confederacy." Since the organization of the United Confederate veterans he has held the position of its chief commander, and his frequet re-election to that posi­ tion, have testified to the warmth of affection in which he has been held in the South.Generni Gordon had .been uncon­ scious nearly all day. The beginning of the end occurred this afternoon, se­ rious complications setting in, and by night his physicians had abandoned all hope, as his kidneys refused to secret and uraemic poison was very decided. His death was quite. He fell peaceful­ ly to sleep and all was -over.General Gordon became ill Wednes­ day afternoh with acute indigestion. He had suffered from the same trouble In Mississippi many months ago. At 11 o'clock Thursday morning consultation of physicians was held and It was found that he was seriously and crit­ically ill. His son, Major Hugh Gor­ don, who resides at Biscapne, was w’th him. A telegram was sent to His daugh­ ter, Mrs. Burton Smith, of Atlanta, calling her to his bedside.She was with him when he died.Gen­ eral Gordon grew steadily worse un­ til today when he was uncoscious most of the time.General and Mrs. Gordon had been In Florida this winter only three weeks before his death. His health had been unusually good prior to his fatal at­ tack. He had bought a winter home at Biscayne three years ago, and had since been spending a portion of his winters there. -General Gordon’s- body will be ship- !congressional proceedings What The Two-Hoiwm of Congress Are Doing.

Factories Follow the Taritl. A notable feature' of the present economic situation in the SndiisIiial world is, according to Comnierciai In­ telligence, the migration of industries from one country to others ill order to neutralize the protective tariffs or an­ tagonistic labor movements by starting factories within the zone covered by the hostile tariff. Thus many English firms have recently opened branch fac­ tories in the United States, and from Germany comes the news that, several of the great German chemical indus­ tries are negotiating with the Biissian authorities to obtain permission to set rp works in Bussia itself. Of course this movement on the part of the Ger­ man manufacturers is the direct out­ come of the new Russian tariff, and if the result'is that Russia succeeds in attracting to herself any considerable number of industries sbe will get con­ siderable advantage.—Canadian JIauu- facturer. If They Are Mere FlftHtudee, They May Be Kaslly AepucUated, B ut If They Are Solemn FledgeB, M ust They Not Be Fulthfully Carried Out T Why do we frame and adopt party platforms? Are they platitudes or are they pledges? And if the latter, are they to be broken or kept? These ques­ tions would seem to be superfluous, and yet we appear to be on the eve of breaking a distinct Republican promise, for as such a plank in a political plat­ form is understood. The Republican party in its half century of existence has made few promises that it has not kept or attempted to keep. Nd matter how often Democratic pledges have been broken, the Republican legislators and executives have tried to keep faith with the majority which elected them. Going-back to 1860, the Repub­ lican platform declared that “sound policy requires such an adjustment of imports as to encourage the develop­ ment of the industrial interests of the | whole country.” Time and again Re­ publican platforms have declared for protection to labor ant. industries, sometimes in general terms, sometimes more specifically. And the President elected Oh those platforms was expect­ ed to carry out of preserve their pro­ visions as far as lay in their power. The same was expected of Congress, and never have the legislative and executive power broken the platform pledges. For the first time in the history of the Republican party it is proposed to break faith with thtS people. In the platform adopted in 1896 the only in­ dustry singled out for specific pledge was the sugar industry, and this was the declaration: , “The Bepublican party favors such protection as will lead to the produc­ tion on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 annually.” Immediately upon the election of McKinley and Hobart and a Republi­ can Congress, capitalists, having faith in a Bepublican promise, invested their money, and farmers, having the same faith, began the cultivation of beets. The beet sugar • industry year after year grew amazingly, first, because the industry could be established with adequate protection, and second, because protection had been promised and it was believed it would be con-, tinued so long as the Eepubliean party remained in power. Again, In 1900, the party declared unequivocally for protection, and again monied men and farmers of the coun­ try, having faith in that pledge, re newed their energies in the develop­ ment of a domestic sugar industry. From an output of 20,000 tons a few years ago, an output of more than ter times that amount has been reached, and even though this is less than one- tenth of our consumptive capacity, it is believed that, in a few years more, with the knowledge and experience gained and the impetus already given, our output would reach the full amount of what we use. And yet the President and- Senate have taken the first steps toward nul­ lifying the protection given to our sugar industry in accordance with promises of 1896, as embodied in the Dingley law and reasserted in the plat­ form of 1900.

The majority of those who are con­ stantly sounding the praises of reel procity have no other, purpose except to attack the tariff by the only means at hand. Of course there are a few who honestly believe that reciprocity ir. competitive products is consistent with a protective tariff. But there are not many of that kind. Reciprocity-re­ minds one of the men who used to call themselves “bimetallists.” , Men used t<~ stand around and say, “We are in favor of the use of gold and silver both; we arebimetallists.” They would proceed to say that there was not gold enough in the country to make a cur­ rency, therefore silver must be used.

The body of one of the women was thrown 75 yards and was badly mangled; the body of the other was merely throiwn from the track. The accident was witnessed by the section crew, which was working on the track nearby. The crossing is on a curve' and it seems that the engineer did not blow and the victims were not look­ ing. The women moved to Mr. Hol­ land’s farm Saturday and were strang­ ers in the community. The bodies were turned over to a nephew of the older woman and taken to Bessemer City for burial. (frozen to Death. Winston-Salem, Special.—Partieshere from Yadkin reported that a man, with his two children, traveling in a one-horse wagon, were held on the boat at Conrad’s ferry several hours yesterday afternoon, and that the children. came near freezing to death. The mush-ice floating down the river prevented the ferryman from operating the boat, after it reached-the middle of the stream. The man in charge of the ferry found it necessary to get out and wade to the bank. There he secured a rope; Attaching one end* of this to a windlass and the other to the boat the man and his children were pulled to the shore. The Yadkin river is nnusually low. In some places it is not over two feet deep. This is accounted for by all of the smaller tributary streams being frozen up. Cylinder Head Blew Out.

Editor The Times Dispatch: S ir—W hy should anyone want the tax on non-resident hunters raised to $50? The revenue from. $10 will be more than from $50. The huntsmen are pleasant and profitable yisitois, pay good board sometimes pay fancy prices' for dogs, aud they break the monotony of country life. How can we advertise our lands better thau through them, as they have the opportunity to see them and enjoy ouFfine climate, which they certainly do I have been a landowner tor years, aud tnis is the only revenue ever derived by me, from the game on it, sitce huntsmen Irom adjacent towns do not even thank us for the privilege of hunting on onr lands.

The career of the Russian Coimt Nicholas Savin, who was arrested at Hamburg a few days ago on the in­ formation of the Russian secret police, reads like a page of fiction. Several times previously the count, by most reckless courage, had escaped from his prison exile In Siberia, where he had been sent for committing forgery, and each time he was recaptured and extradited from the country where he was found. His last flight, which has just ended In his arrest at Hamburg, has given the Russian police ten years’ trouble. The count- got away from Siberia in 1893, and succeeded in reaching the TTnited States. For five years he lived undiscovered in Chi­ cago, earning his living at various times as waiter, billiard-marker, cab­ man and tram conductor. In 1898 he volunteered for the war, and fought with great distinction with the Ameiy ican troops against Spain. Afterwards he went to Spain as the representa­ tive of an American export house. The Russian secret police were meanwhile making an incessant search and re­ cently they located him In Spain. When the count discovered that his identity was known he boarded a steamer at Lisbon, bound for Ham­ burg. Detectives booked passages by the same vessel, and on arrival at Hamburg persuaded the German au­ thorities to seize the count He will be taken back to Siberia after the extradition formalities. The count, who is 44 years of age, is the husband of the French Countess Lantrec de Toulouse. Pitchforks at an Election. Extraordinary scenes occurred at the counting of votes during a muni­ cipal election at Florenzac, nhar Mont­ pellier, France. It was stated that the presiding of­ ficer and two of the assessors had ex­ tracted ballot papers and placed them in their pockets. Upon the fraud be­ ing denounced by the opposition, several hundred peasants, armed with pitchforks and other weapons, at­ tempted to break into the school­ room where the counting was going on, and threatened to lynch the offi­ cials concerned. It took 100 gendarmes all.their time to repel the infuriated crowd, and several times they had to charge with drawn swords. Good'Shot for a Boy.

WrIUi Free Aceeea to TM e STarKet th e C em petltion o f Cheaper W heat Hands -In the Far N orthw est W ould D rivo A m erican Farm ers Out o f B usiness. The cost of transportation from Man. itoba to Liverpool is so much greater than that of flour from the Western American States to the same point that there is no profit in exporting i t That is why Canadians are asking for reci­ procity. It is not to benefit American millers by any means, but to aid Can­ adian farmers. Millers want Canadian grain because they can buy it cheap­ er than American, not because it will keep up prices or lessen competition. I r the farmers in Manitoba could sell their wheat in American markets, have it ground in American mills, and exported to Liverpool with American flour, then it would surely compete with our wheat or flour in that market, add to the supply and tend directly to lower prices. So long as the cost of transportation is as great as at pres­ ent it cannot be sold below American0 grain, and so does not affect its value abroad. It is the surplus of Russia, India and Argentina that furnishes the strongest competition. That is why a duty on Manitoba wheat aids materially in keeping up the price of American wheat, There is another point of view in this question. The Canadian North­ west is an immense territory, in which wheat could be. grown to supply the world’s requirements were it under cultivation. As yet tbis vast territory is a wilderness with only a few towns and settlements. Land is very cheap, because its products cannot be gotten to market at a profit. The nearest market at present is Liverpool, and the distance is so great, and the facil­ ities for transportation so limited, that settlers prefer the Northwestern Etates in W kicll to grow grain and build a: home. Now, With the American markets free to the farmers of Mani­ toba these wild lands would soon be settled up, and their productive ca­ pacity enormously increased. The re­ sult would be the same to the wheat growers of the Middle West and West­ ern States as was their settlement to the wheat growers of the Eastern States. They would surely be driven out of business or else compelled to sell below present prices. New cheap lands will always affect grain growing in older countries in the same manner. Manitoba would, with free American markets, drive the farmers of Minne­ sota, the Dakotas and other spring wheat States out of the business of wheat growing, or compel them to pro­ duce it at a price which would leave them little profit Even as the matter stands now the cheap lands of the Canadian North­ west are attracting farmers, who sell out on this side of the line and cross over to secure cheaper land and light­ er taxation, with the hope that when reciprocity comes they will, have the same markets to sell in as if they, had remained in the UDited States. Take the following extracts from* the To­ ronto Mail and Empire as to emigra­ tion to, the Canadian Northwest and the question of reciprocity takes on on entirely different phase: “Three years ago the immigrants of all nationalities coming to the coun­ try aggregated less than 45,000. Now that the Northwest has been revealed as the cheapest land in the world, the farmers, of Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas are selling their holdings and treking north across the boundary to buy in the Saskatchewan Valley land at old song prices superior to that they have left in the United States. They come north with capital and experience. With the British they form the backbone of the West.” Remove the barrier between the two countries by opening our markets to Canadian farmers, and we shall see American farmers by hundreds of thousands selling out and moving into Canada. Without those markets, and the supply of grain becoming larger each year and prices getting lower so as to afford shippers a chance to do business at a profit, the inducements for American farmers to become Can­ adian settlers will soon disappear. Re­ ciprocity simply means the building and enriching of a foreign land at the expense of our own. As to the Minneapolis millers, there Is no doubt of their business enterprise -and ability to care for their own' in- ■ terests. With a free market for their- products • of 80,000,000 of people as­ sured them/they can afford to exploit foreign markets, for their surplus. By a strong combination they are in a •losraon to control tne muling business In toe United States through cutting down the'cost of production and lessen­ ing. the number of employes, neces­ sary to conduct the business. Then their screenings and byproducts— bran and middlings—are sold to Amer­ ican feeders, dairymen and farmers at' the utmost prices at-which these people will consent to purchase. The profits on these by-products, which are generally sold beyond their value, en­ able these millers to undersell foreign­ ers In their own markets if there is. no tariff to prevent .them. ,It is the igrmers xho.raise Wlieat and buy. back the by-products at high prices that en­ able them to do this. While the mill­ ing syndicate is entitled to the admira­ tion of our correspondent for. their business enterprise and shrewdness, he need not waste any sympathy on them because of their supposed dif­ ficulties under present conditions. They are generally millionaires, and the money they have made has come out of the producer and consumer.—Michigan Farmer, A DANGEROUS WEAPON.1 Im portance o f Treating AU Countries A like as to TariiT B ates. A sensible view of the tariff rela­ tions of the United States toward other countries is taken by Baron von Stern- burg, the Geiman Ambassador. Re­ turning last week to resume bis duties at Washington, the Baron was ques­ tioned regarding 1 a cablegram in which it was stated that at a meeting of Ger­ man manufacturers one of the lead­ ers protested against the unjust man­ ner in which German wares are treat­ ed by the American tariff, and asked the body to adopt some form of retal­ iation. The Baron said he did not agree with the views of his country­ man. “I realize,” he went on, “that the high tariff is not directed against Ger­ many alone, and that this country in­ tends to be fair in its dealings with all nations. One or two men may be of the opinion of the man quoted, but the great majority of Germans appreciate the fact that this nation must main­ tain a high tariff to protect her own industries.” No form of retaliation is probable so long as the United States maintains the policy of a tariff that is equal and uniform with regard to all imports of like character from all countries. Ger­ many has no proper ground of com­ plaint, still less of retaliation, when the commodities which she sends to this country, pay the same rates of duty that are imposed upon similar commodities from other countries. It is only when we begin showing.special favors, special concessions In the mat­ ter of tariff rates, that we shall justify resentment and provoke retaliation. Trade favoritism is a dangerous wea­ pon. If we play with it we are pretty certain to cut our fingers. TTliat TTe Owe to Protection* This country can never sufficiently honor the memory of the men who from the first insisted that a bonus must be raised to make us a manufac­ turing as well as a farming people. We have received the bonus back many times in the cheapened cost of every­ thing we buy because of American competition, while, instead of occupy­ ing the position of feeder and tender for Europe that Gobden had assigned us, we have become the great commer­ cial centre of the world ourselves, and are able to look on with complacent self-satisfaction while Cobden’s suc­ cessors confess to our sagacity, con­ cede our supremacy, and commit themselves to our policy.—Des Moines Register and Leader. H eady to STeet Them * Protection to American industries is Republican doctrine as much to-day as it was ten years ago. There is no need of searcn for new issues.. The policy which made the United States prosperous, great and happy is good enough as the issue for 1904. The re­ vival of the issue at this time may be undesirable from a business point of view, but if the Democrats insist lioon starting the agitation of this subject they will find the Eepublicans r- y to meet them.—Grand Rapids ixe.aid. 'i Tariff Talk Deprecated. ■ The more the tariff policies of the parties are discussed in Congress the more certain will Republican victory be at the polls.- The only reason for avoiding the subject is that prolonged debates upon it have a tendency, to un­ settle business.

Several old writers mention mys­ terious methods of aerial communica­ tion, and Strada1 an Italian antiquary who wrote during the 16th century, describes an invention, having an ex­ traordinary resemblance to Sig. Mar­ coni’s present-day wonder. Strada says that two friends about to be separated each procured a nee­ dle magnetized at the same odestone and affixed them to swing on dials marked with the letters of the alpha­ bet. They agreed that, at certain speci­ fied periods after they parted, each should retire into a private apartment with this apparatus; and thereafter, by directing the needle to the letters necessary to spell oiit their meaning, the pair were able to convey their thoughts In an Instant to one another across the continent, as Strada puts it, “over cities or mountains, seas or deserts! This, at the last, is an astonishing forecast, and may be a fact, for to ex­ pound such a scheme at that period was to chance being burnt as a sor­ cerer—a risk Strada would be un­ likely to run for mere fiction.—Stray ... „ - , y I Was Given Up PerunaSavedHerLife It was catarrh of the Iangs so common in the winter months.] m iJM M M SC O L L Mias Jmnie Driscoll, 870 Pntnam Ave., Brooklyn, N.

Greensboro, Special.—The main dor­ mitory, dining hall and laundry at the State Normal College were destroyed by fire about 4 o’clock Thursday morn­ ing. The inmates all escaped, although seme bad barely time to save them­ selves, aud many lost all their belong­ ings. The loss is about $7,000, with $25,000 insurance. It was with a feeling of absolute terror that people, awakened before day this morning, were told that the Normal College was on fire, and at the dormitory, where 350 girls were known to be sleeping. As crowds hastily left of coming horror. No street cars were mile distant, there was an awful dread of coming horror. No stret cars were running at the hour, and those who reached there were overcome with joy to find that not a soul of all the 400 had been hurt, but that with wonderful forethought on the part of the watch­ man and the system immediately or­ ganized by the college authorities, every soul was saved, there not even being a panic during the whole time of rescue. The nerve and coolness displayed by these young ladies was something remarkable, and the concern felt for them by every man, woman and child in Greensboro is sufficient assur­ ance of their high merit. Everybody and everything turned out, and poured out assistance and ac„ commodations, feeling that the best they had was not half good enough for them. The proprietor of the Benbow Hotel was thoughtful enough to at once begin preparations for breakfast for the wrhole crowd, the street cars tendered free passage and at 9 o’clock every one of the girls had been cared for, by that and other hotels In the city, who had also responded in no un< certain tones of hospitality soon after. The same thing occurred at dinner, and parents of the students all over the State need have no fear that their daughters or wards will suffer a mo­ment of discomfort. The college au­ thorities are not at all rattled, for at the meting at 10 o’clock everything was being planned out for comfort* able disposition of the burned-out students, and arrangements were made to begin the regular exercises Monday morning, thus causing only one day’s interruption in college studies. DISCOVERY OP THE FIRE. The fire was discovered in the kitch­ en by the watchman at 4 o’clock in the morning in the building devoted to the laundry, kitchen, dining room cold storage, boiler room and heating plant. In tbis building were rooms foi 150 girls, and nearby was the dormi­tory proper, a four-story brick build­ ing containing rooms for 250 inmates and crowded to its capacity. When discovered the fire was breaking out the roof of the kitchen. "With rare presence of mind the watchman, in* stead of turning in a general alarm, quietly summoned aids and went through all the rooms, waking up the sleeping students, and so systematical­ ly and quietly was this done that every one of the girls was saved without ae* cident or panic. The general fire alarm •was sounded a few minutes after 4; and the fire companies responded with rapid work, getting to. the burning buildings a mile away with speed. It was impossible to save the four-story dormitory proper, which was in a few feet of the burning dining room and dormitory, a strong wind blowing to­ wards it soon wrapping it in flames. All the other buildings were saved ■without damage. SOME NARROW ESCAPES. There were some hair-breadtb escapes and much excitement, but at no time was there anything like a panic among the young ladies. Twc girls in the fourth story who had been overlookedwerewaked up just as flames began to lick their beds, and with hor­ror on being awakened by a man in their rooms and the heat and smoke and noise around they rushed on their rescuer, knocking him down, and ran screaming to the window, and were just in the act of jumping out when he caught them and carried them strug-' gling to the first landing, where assist­ ance was in readiness, and they were carried safely out. Many trunks were burned, all in the third and fourth stories being lost. There were 75 rooms, and from two to three trunks in each room on these stories. The other trunks were saved, but much clothing was hanging in wardrobes, and of this a great deal was destroyed! The girls saved their money in most instances, taking their purses even when they had to leave their trunks and clothing. Aloss of $60 and one of $50 have ben reported, but in most cases the girls having money saved it. One hundred and twenty-flvi lost all their clothisg. THE DOSS. On the buildings burred, there had been expended last year in improve­ ments $23,000. These consisted of an additional story to the dormitory, a “!steam-heating plant, a cold storage and icc plant, a steam laundry, etc. The whole college plant is valued at $100,- 000, but the part burned is estimated to have been worth $70,000. It is said that $25,000 will cover the insurance os this portion, distributed by Commis­ sioner Young in many companiesT - PRESIDENT McIVER’S NOTICE.

Charlotte Special.—ThG question oi establishing a reformatory for youth, ful criminals in North Carolina has been agitated in a desultory way for several years, but until recently no definite action has been taken. Re­ cently the King’s Daughters have had the matter under advisement, and that organization has the offer of a site free near Southern Pines. A well- known and philanthropic citizen of Charlotte, Mr. J. C. Herring, ha 3 re- recently traveled largely in the eastern part of the State, and studied conditions n connection with the es­ tablishment of this much needed in­ stitution. His plan is a highly prac­ ticable one. He has the offer of a choice of several locations ih the most fertile belt of the State, free of charge, and his plan is to organize an associ­ ation for the purpose of erecting suit­ able buildings by voluntary contribu­ tions, working in combination with the King's Daughters. When the plant is established the State will be asked to appropriate enough money to maintain it. The plan is certainly an excellent one, and the object is one that appeals to every patriotic North Carolinian. Already Mr. Her­ ring is receiving many letters from prominent- people througout the State, and the project is being enthusiasti­ cally received. Any person interested in the good work can obtain full information as to the plans of organization and tte proposed workings of the reformatory Dy addressing Mr. J. C. Herring, whose home address is 607 North Bre­ vard street, Charlotte, N. C. North State Notes. Newell, in Mecklenburg county, voted against a special school tax by 20 to 17. At Shopton, in the same county, the vote was 16 to 16. Newell is the first place In the county to vote against a special school tax and it is alleged that while the property owners were for it the illiterate vote killed the measure. The place has a ?1,400 academy, has $600 appropria­ tion, ana would have received $300 to $500 more by special tax. Another election will be called. The Dispatch says that a party of Lexington citizens killed 400 robbins In the cane brakes along Abbott’s creek, in Davidson county, one night last weekfl More than forty persons, says the Dispatch, were hunting robbins the same night and it is believed that 5,000 of the birds were slaughtered in that locality that night. The Salisbury papers report a similar slaughter of robbins near that town. I A special from Wilmington say§: Lucetta Bowden, aged 45 years, was fatally burned at her home yesterday. She sat down in front of a big fire and fell asleep. When she awoke her cloth­ing was burning, and before assistance arrived she was roasted from head to foot. Every stitch of clothing was burned off her body and her skin was crisp. The woman lived several hours and was conscious. - One of the dormitories at the Burice county poor house was burned Wednes­ day. The fire caught on the roof abotit I o’clock and burned very fiercely, en­ dangering all the buildings, but only one building was destroyed.

Deparlinent of Agriculture Hot After the Weevil PLAN OF CAMPAIGN MAPPED OUT Special Representative DIspatctied to th e Texas Cotton HIelds to Investi­ gate end Report Washington, Special.—The Secretary of AgricuItwre has approved the plana for the. cotton boll wevil investigation in the Southwest, for which a special appropriation of $250,000 has been made available. Secretary Wilson be­ lieves that the best method, for meet­ ing the ravages caused by the boll weevil will be to put into actual prac­ tice the facts which have been accumu­ lated by the Department during the past two years in the Southwest, for which a special conditions, the plant­ ing of early maturing Varieties of cot­ ton, substitution Of other crbps, etc. The plans approved, which were sub­ mitted by Dr. T. B. Galloway, the chief of the bureau of plant industry, and Dr. Howard, the chief of the division of entomology, embody the following tines of investigation: Farmer’s co-operative demonstration work. This will involve the organiza­ tion of farmers in Texas and adjacent States in Such a way to sfecUre the cul­ tivation Of cotton under specific in­ structions from the Department of Ag­ riculture, thus a definite working plan wall be given to each farmers, the farmer himself to furnish Uie seed and fertilizers, if such are required. These fereaS of cotton will serve as object Ies- sohs and will be planned to show the practibility of growing cotton despite the presence of the weevil. Similar work will be carried' ad in Louisiana, where the weevil has hot yet advanced. It is planned to have 8,000 to 10,000 farmers engaged in this work. Flans of breeding and selection of work. This work will have for Its ob­ ject the improvement of present varie­ ties of cotton, with a view of making them more prolific and earlier, so as to prevent the ravages of the weevil. The work will be conducted on ex- perminent farms, which will be se­ lected with due respect to climatic, Boil and other conditions. The foregoing work will be looked after by the bureau of plant industry. The division of entomology will con­ tinue its evestigation pn experiment farms. Thirteen farms for the grow­ ing of cotton will be located in Texas and the investigations conducted will have for their object the determination' of numerous questions relative to'boll weevil which have not yet been defi­ nitely settled. The question of the ef­ fect of fertilizers on the early matur­ing of cotton will be considered. It -is planned that these farms shall em­brace about one hundred acres each. Investigation of parasites In the orig­ inal home of the weevil will be made, the object being to introduce these parasites into Texas with the securing of the destruction through them of the boll weevil.Inspection of cotton products, their fumigation and general expenses at­ tending the certification required by State laws will be another line of work conducted by the entomologist. Investigation into the life, history and habits of the weevil and for the general testing of persons and ma­ chines. This work will be earned on necessarily in the boll weevil infected districts.Investigations of other diseases than the cotton boll weevil, including the destructive cotton boll worm, which is one of the most serious pests ih a num­ ber. of the Southern cotton growing States.The organization of the work on the co-operative demonstration farms has begun under the charge of Dr. S.

Pure Food BUI. The House spent the day consider­ ing the Hepburn pure food bill. It was not completed when the House was ready to adjourn, and, on motion Of Mr. Hepburn, a recess was . taken until ii:55 tomorrow. This will re­ tain the bill before the House without interruption for consideration tomor­ row'. just before the recess an amend­ment coming from the Democratic side was adopted inserting the word “wilfully,” relative to the sale of prohibited adulterated goods by re­ tailers, which would make it incum­ bent upon the government to prove knowledge on the part of retailers that the sale of such goods was con­trary to law. The principal speeches of the day were made by Messrs. Hep­ burn and Mann in favor of the bill and Adamson, Bartlett and Clark in opposition. Mr. Adamson elaborated the views he expressed in a minority report. He said such legislation was unnecessary, as local communities had ample power to correct evils, Mr. Clark believed the present bill should be modified, especially the sections pertaining to the acquisition of sam- samples, which, he said, required a man to furnish evidence against him­self, which was unconstitutional. Patterson Talks. Mr. Patterson completed his speech on the Panama canal question and Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, began on the same subject. Mr. Patterson declared that the President was largely respon­ sible for the revolt in Panama and an­ nounced his decided preference for the Nicaraguan route. Mt. Platt took this pronouncement for Nicaragua as the text for his remarks, Baying that this preference for the more northern route explained away the mystery of the otherwise unexplainable opposition on the Panama treaty. Referring to the President’s declara­ tion that what had been done In Pan­ama had been done as the mandate of civilisation, Mr. Patterson quoted with approval a statement by Mr. Spooner to the effect that that was a new phrase, adding: :"It was a new phrase, and the man who penned it must have been in a state of mental exaltation at the time, as others have been on other occasions. Mahomet, Joe Smith and Dowie have moved ih such exalted spheres, that they imagined themselves as the very vice regents of the Al­ mighty, and it may be that the Presi­dent moves In the same sphere.” Mr. Patterson charged that the effort to displace the Nicaraguan canal with the Panama canal was In the Interest ’of those whowanted no canal at all and who, if they were to have any canal, wanted the one which would give the least competition to the trans-conti­ nental railroads. He believed the Nic­aragua canal could be completed in fif­ teen years’ less time than the Panama canal. He would, therefore, vote against the ratification of the treaty, nr. Platt’s Views • Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, concluded his speech on Panama Thursday, con­ suming most of the time of the open session, after the expiration of the morning hour. He defended the course Of-the President throughout the Pan­ama revolt and eulogized the executive personally ;as brave and fearless. Du­ring the morning hour Mr. Morgan spoke in explanation of his bill for the annexation of Panama to the United States basing his argument on the ground that the pending canal treaty practically contemplated that result and said, in effect, that if it was to be done at all it should be done by legislation and not by treaty.Mr. Morgan spoke of the difficulties which the country has encountered in Panama, saying that they are not of the country's seeking*? but were due to the precipitancy of the President of the United States. It was, however, impossible to undo what had been done, and he contended that further proceedings should be .’ in accordance with, legislation. In order to get rid of the consequences of our acts we must make, he said, some equitable arrange­ ment with Panama, for. it was not to be supposed that Colombia meant to sub­ mit calmly. If, he argued, we are to build a canal in Panama, we must have the good will of Colombia, for without It the obstacles of disease and outlawry will be infinitely increased. Mr. Morgan predicted that the Presi­ dent would not be able to secure future appropriations. “Indeed,” he said, “I don’t believe that he wants appropriations. It is better for campaign purposes that IegJ islation on the canal question should consist of- purposes only.”He said that he had inserted in bis bill the provision for the payment of $15,000,000 for the practlflcation of Co­lombia because he had{heard that the President had entered- into an agree­ ment for the payment of that sum for that purpose. \. Mr. Platt defended {the President against the charge of Committing an act of war or even an act of interven­ tion; denytog that his acts in connec- tion with the Panama, revolt amounted to either. The charges that, the Pres­ ident knew of the revolution; and had - cohnived at it, Mr. PIaii characterized as disgraceful and untrue. He said .the President had the right to protect tran­sit across the isthmus even against Colombia. • Mr. Platt referred to the retirement of the Colombian forces and was inter­ rupted by Mt. Tillman, who asked if the attitude' ot the Colombian forces was not in the nature of a dicker or badger to increase the price of going.” Mr. Platt replied that Mr. Hubbard and his 424 men had nothing to do with the Colombian troops. “I want a canal at Fanama,” said Mr. Tillman, "it we don’t have to steal It” We -have received the fifth semi­ annual report of -the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in the district of Ponce of Porto Rico. It shows that the sentiment and prac­ tice of humanity toward dumb crea­ tures are making much progress in that island. The present growth ol the population of the city of Ponce is described in the report as “enormous,” and truly, for, the average annual rate of increase during the decade ending with 1902, though as high as five per cent, has since been “probahly double that rate.” Already the society has 2,000 members and it hopes to get five times as many. The extent of the in­ terest in its humane work is indicated by the fact that 1,376 complaints of- ill treatment of animals were made to it during the last half year. "As a rule,” the secretary reports, “all State, countr- and cit~ officials are willing to aid in carrying on our good work ” The agents of the society number fifty- three, nearly all of whose names are Spanish Over Thirty-five People Perish at Moundsvillei Ala.

Among those killed were E. P. ^ey- mour, of Nashville, Tenu., operator In the railroad station; A. H. Wareny of Birmingham, of the Alabama Grocery Company; J." K. Redmond, of Nash­ ville, superintendent of the pumping station, and thirty-four negro men and women, including W. H. Mines, .his wife and six children, who were bat­ tered to death against the walls of their cabin.In the valley of a little crefik near the Alabama Great Southeni Railroad were forty cabins. They were demol­ished into kindling wood and not ail occupant escaped injury. The Mounds- ville Hotel, which was near the depot, was almost ground into splinters. It was a two-story house, the room's above being reserved for transient guests. Five- of these - were torn into shreds, and their bodies were picked up some distance from tl,: hotel site. ■ Tlie tornado struck the village when all were asleep. It was not preceded by any disturbing sign. Down to the south of the railroad, six miles, the wind seemed1 to have gathered-its strength. Tearing down a barn, it moved harmlessly, so far as human life was concerned, until it reached Moundsvllle. i The residents were awakened by-.the crashing of timbers; the roaring sounds of the giant storm, mingled with screams of inhabitants. There was pot any time for preparation, no lights to see by, no hand to give assistance. It was quick in its work. In a min­ ute after its attack it was gone. Then the flashes ef lightning lit up scenes of horror. Its path was a quarter of a mile in width and its spiral thrusts lay -close to the earth.Few of the 300 inhabitants escaped harm. Torn particles of flesh were scattered through the timbers as chaff. Bodies were picked up halt a dpile away. Many of the wounded were rescued from the debris with difficulty. The depot was blown down, ana toe operator, who slept in the warehouse, was killed instantly. A freight train that was approaching the switch was derailed, one of its ears being.de­ tached and blown furiously against; a group of standing oaks. A fiat 'car, loaded with cotton bales, standing on a spur, was picked up and blown over the tree tops.

Nextidoor to it was a one-story residence,i. con­ taining a family of six. In the. black­ ness of the morning the father, mother and three children went out the door, leaving a five-year-old son behind. The boy was rescued later, having been pulled from a pile ot timbers. None of the others have been heard from. It is presumed they are dead.One woman was blo'wn into an open Well, where she was afterwards drawn out uninjured. Some of the escapes were as if miracles had been per­ formed. Tents were rushed from Tuscaloosa, fifteen miles away, as soon as news ,of the stoim was received there. Twenty physicians responded to the call for help, and in addition dozens of stu­ dents from the University of Alahamn rode horseback over fallen timberg to the stricken village. North of Moundsvllle, where there are numerous' settlements, the tornado wrecked houses and blew fences away. The news of the death of five persons outside of Moundsville has been veri­ fied. That there are many more to be reported is regarded as a certainty. ,- The Alabama Great Southern Rail­ road tracks are congested with wreck- agc. Subscription lists are being started in adjacent towns, and 100 women from Tuscaloosa have gone to Mounfts- ville to nurse the injured. ;> All of North Alabama was visited,by disastrous windstorms, accompanied by. heavy rainfalls. Hundreds of farms were damaged, bridges swept away, cattle killed and forest trees leveled with the ground.

Corry, Pa.—Icy rails wrecked the Pennsylvania Railroad's through night express, which left Buffalo, while it was running at a high rate of speed near Prospect, thirty miles from this city, and though none of the passen­gers were killed, there was much suf­ fering from cold, as at the time of the wretk, late at night, the thermometer registered twenty degrees below zero. The entire train was derailed, and as there is no telegraph office at Pros­ pect, it was some time before help was summoned.

Time and again they launch­ ed their boat, only to have it hurled hack to. the Bhore by toe heavy surf. The life-savers also had recourse to life lines, but the shots carrying the line's either fell wide or short of the invisible mark. Soon after daylight masses of wrech. age began to come ashore, indicating that the vessel was rapidly breaking up. About noon a spar with a man clinging to it was seen tossing in the outer line of breakers. After a line bad been shot across it and made fast by the man, he was pulled ashore and proved to be Second Mate Ebert. A few minutes later another sailor was seen on a mass of wreckage, and half a dozen life-savers, forming a human chain, dashed Into the surf and drew him ashore. He was unconscious and continued In that condition at a late hour tonight. The cries of those remaining on the wreck continued to grow fainter and fainter during the afternoon, and final­ ly ceased altogether. One body drifted ashore; but it was so disfigured as to be unrecognizable. It is believed that only the bow of the vessel remains on the bar, and from this toe exhausted seamen dropped one by one until all were swept away. Mate Ebert,- after being taken to the life-saving station, said that the vessel stranded in the fog after having mis­ taken toe Shinnecock light for the headlight of a steamer. The officers believed they were at least twenty-five miles off shore and in no danger, when the vessel suddenly struck and began to pond to pieces In the heavy sea that was running on the bar. Great waveu swept over the vessel, the masts snapped off like pipe-stems, and, with the rigging, were carried away by the tremendous seas. As the hull began to go to pieces the members of the crew were driven toward the bow, where they hung as best they could. Elbert was clinging to some wreckage of the deck when the whole mass went overboard, carrying him with it. Egbert was unable to give the names of any of the; crew, most of whom shipped at Norfolk. .RflCOfliminds Pe-ru-nn—Oil mlnent Men Tastlfj lBomniodorc Somerville «aiSSU nited States Navy.

PLANS.TH AT. VXENTWRONa Showing How Hard It It to DrfW Folks Into Matrimony. Once upon a time, before everybody had learned to attend strictly to his own affairs, a man and a maid were in love with each other, but, though this was patent to all their triends, Mtthor of them knew it. However, their friends said unanimously: "We will demonstrate it to them and write a triumphant Q. E. D. upon their wed­ ding morn.” Therefore, the maid never was in­ vited anywhere that she did not And the man invited also; nor was the man invited anywhere but that he„ found the maid likewise a guest. Further­ more, the man always was detailed to take the maid in to dinner, and they could hot so much as glance at each other without everybody else having an errand oat of the room, and society became a vast manufactory of oppor­ tunities for them to revel In each other’s company alone and undis­ turbed. Now, before this had time to become a habit with them, both the man and the maid penetrated the dark plot. Whereupon the maid tossed her head, saying: "They needn't think I have only one chance,” and immedi­ ately betrothed herself to an impeculi- ous fortune hunter whose only rec­ ommendation was’ his title. And thereupon the man hastily mar­ ried himself to a grass widow from Chicago, whose reputation, they do say, was responsible for the big fire. Consequently all their friends nod­ ded their heads sagely, and whispered to each other, "Didn’t I tell you so?”— Alex Ricketts in Philadelphia Ledger. A SOFT-HEARTED BAKER. So. 5 . Thompibn’s Eys Water Assumed Woes of Actress Too Much for His Composure. Recently a new play was performed in Prague, the principal characters in which are a beautiful young lady and a brilliant young officer,but are unable to marry because they are as poor as church mice. True, the young lady has a very rich uncle, from whom she hopes to obtain aid, but she very soon discovers that he is an arrant miser and will not give her a farthing. The woes of the lovers touched the hearts of many in the audience, but only one person proved really equal to the occasion. This was a worthy and wealthy baker, who had actually been moved to tears by the distressing scenes on the stage. At last his heart overflowed, and the moment the rich uncle vanished with a bitter sneer at his niece's folly on his lips, he rushed from his seat to the footlights, and, taking a well-filled purse from his pocket, handed it to the astonished heroine, saying: “Here, take this—you’ll find a good dowry in it—and have nothing more to do with that wretched miser.” Every one in the theater roared at the good fellow’s simplicity and gen­ erosity, but he could not see that he had done anything unusual, and, as he refused to take back the purse, the heroine, with a smile, laid it on a table, and the play went on.

Vpoik the Consuming: Capacity of Theiz Own People AU Producing Countries K nst BCaInly Depend F or Cieneral and Perm anent Vrc Bperity. Among the speeches delivered by Joseph Chamberlain in his vigorous campaign for protection in Great Brit­ ain, that of November 20 at Cardiff is one of the ablest and most interesting. His main endeavor was to enforcc the proposition that it is upon its own home market that a country must chiefly de­ pend for substantial and enduring pros­ perity. In this he succeeded tborough- 4y. He told the Cardiff coal operators that it was of far more value to them to sell their coal for use at home than to export it to foreign countries, and that they would suffer from any con­ dition that should work against the in­ dustries of Great Britain as a whole. The story of the lost trade in tin plate must have made a strong impres­ sion upon the Welshmen who had lost it. In 1892, Mr. Chamberlain told them, they exported 460,000 tons, and the Cnited States was their principal market Last year they sold only 65,- 000 tons to the United States. The Mc­ Kinley tariff of 1891 was what brought about the change. As the result of that tariff, he said, the United States noy produces 400,000 tons of tin plate year­ ly and employs 50,000 wage earners in that industry. He warned the Welsh­ men that they could not hope to hold even the trade of 65,000 tons, for the United States will soon make all of the tin plate which it requires. Just at this point Mr. Chamberlain made a curious slip. He declared that in 1890, if Great Britain had had a protective tariff as a basis for com­ mercial negotiations, the McKinley tar­ iff on tin plate could have been pre­ vented. Said he: What special interest bad the United States of America in keeping a trade which only amounted to 550 tons of tin plates, if we had been able to go to them and say, ‘If you will leave tin plates to us, we will in return give you something;’ or even if we had said, ‘If you will leave tin plates to us, there is something we Vill take from you.’’ And In either of these cases, if we had dealt, with business men, as business men ourselves, I believe we could have made an arrangement. It would have been better worth while for Mr. Mc­ Kinley to have allowed tin plates to remain to us, provided, on his side, he had employment for American work­ men to a larger extent in some other industry in which America was inter­ ested.” We think Mr. Chamberlain is mis­ taken in supposing it possible to have made such a dicker with Mr. McKinley, Just as we think lie will experience great difficulty in persuading the col­ onies to refrain from industrial de­ velopment along lines that conflict with British production. The^tendency of live, progressive peoples of the Anglo- Saxon race is to make things for them­ selves, not to pay foreigners for mak­ ing them. Mr. McKinley had the sa­ gacity to see in tin plate the possibili­ ties of a new and valuable industry if suitably safeguarded by a protective tariff, and it is idle to suppose that he could have been persuaded to side­ track his splendid project because of any trade dicker which Great Britain could possibly have proposed. Neither do we think that Canada and Australia will consent to stifle their own indus­ trial development in return for the proffer of tariff preferences on their natural products. Mr. Chamberlain will undoubtedly succeed in displacing free trade arid installing protection, but he has yet to Ieam what protection is not, and that the old plan of keeping the colanies In a state of industrial subjection and dependency will not work. Tbe world Is moving too fast for that. . , An Object Less on. If Brother Chamberlain wants an object lesson showing what portection can do fie will And it in the official sta­ tistics of the United States. We are not only manufacturing a great deal more than ever before, but we are ex­ porting vast quantities. The report for October proves that last month we sold abroad goods valued at $160,000,- 000. The October total has been ex­ ceeded but once before, and the aggre­ gate for the year promises to beat the record. le t there was a time when we manufactured practically nothing and when our only exports were agricultur­ al products. Protection built up our industries and gave us the chance to compete’in the markets of the world. The stupendous figures relating to our domestic and foreign commerce tell the story, and a better argument could not be presented by any champion of pro­ tection.—Troy Times. An Enterprising Church.

"Stupid Tariff Bara,” W hich le t in K ore Im port, and Let Out More Exports, In the news columns of the New York Times we read that: “Experts of boots and shoes from the United States show a steady growth, and will for the calendar year about to end aggregate more than ¥7,000,000 in value. In 1893 they were less than three-quarters of' a million dollars in value. Pew of the important articles entering into our export trade show a more rapid growth in exports or a wider distribution.” While in the editorial columns of the same issue we are told that: “I f we had the sense to take down the stupid tariff bars and give them free course to natural and mutually profitable exchanges, we should have nothing to fear and much to hope for from such development.” Here is one of those numerous in­ stances where fact and theory part company. If free traders could con­ trol the figures their task would-be an easy one. Statistics have a disagree­ able habit of speaking for themselves. Thus: Total imports of merchan­ dise for the eleven months ending with No­ vember, 1902....................$874,959,883 Total imports of merchan­ dise for the eleven months ending with No­ vember, 1903..................... 917,784,009 Increase of imports for 1903.....................................$42,834,120 W hat time our “stupid tariff bars” were letting in an increase of close upon $43,000,000 in the first eleven months of 1903, the same “stupid tariff bars” were letting out a still greater increase of exports: Domestic export, eleven mouths ending with No­ vember, 1902 ..................$1,187,358,933 Domestic export:, eleven months ending with No­ vember, 1903.. .... .. 1,2S4,555,447 Increase of domestic exports, 1903............... $97,196,514 In these eleven months our agricul­ tural exports increased $74,000,000; manufactured exports increased $5,- 000,000; mining exports increased over $8,000,000; miscellaneous exports in­ creased more than $1,600,000; while our total exports were $1,309,934,411, or nearly $300,000,000 more than our im­ ports. We have bought a little more and have sold a great deal more tban we did In the same eleven months of 1902. And yet the free trade parrots keep right on squawking about “stupid tariff bars,” Astonishing, is it not? THE FATAL OLD ISSUE. W ill tbo D em ocrat. Afrain M tack the Protective Tariff? While the avowed intention of the Democrats is to make tariff the issue in the next Presidential campaign, they are finding it difficult to bring the several elements in the party together on the question of protection and free trade. Thousands of Democrats are not in favor of opening the gates of this country to the competition of the world. They remember this was tried some years ago with disastrous results to American industries,' and that tariff for revenue only—which is really free trade—forced the Government to bor­ row money on bonds at exorbitant rates of interest, because the revenues were insufficient to meet actual ex­ penses. During his last term as President, Grover Cleveland, while favoring sound money in a measure, which is to bis credit, was an avowed free trader, and is so to-day. Not a man mentioned by the Democrats for President is a protectionist to the extent that he would veto a free trade, law were he the Chief Executive Of this nation, and such a law were passed by a Dem­ ocratic Congress. Grover Cleveland has voluntarily withdrawn from the Presidential race, and' W. J. Bryan has been virtually forced to do so, but the two wings of the patty led by these gentlemen, while they differ on the money question, would unite on the passage of a measure similar to the Wilson-Gorman bill. It is doubtful at this, time whether with such an issue the party can be united. It was tried in several States this year, notably Iowa and Ohio, and -the results . were overwhelmingly against i t But it appears that our Democratic brethren never learn les­ sons from past; experiences, and are go­ ing ahead shaping the issue that has east their party on the rocks so often. If the Democrats can find no better issue it will be easy for the Republi­ cans next year.—Davenport Republi­ can. If Tl* Love to Wish You Near.
