Commercial travelers have com
menced a war upon the trusts. It
i'b estimated that as a result of the
gigantio combinations that at least
35,000 traveling salesmen have been
thrown out ' of employment, while
not only have the wages thus saved
been pocketed by the trusts, but
the cost to consumers of truBt pro
ductions has been increased.
One of the most joyouB evidences
of western prosperity was recently
furnished by a Kansas wedding in
Ford County. There were 300 in
vited guests. That in itself is not
unuBual in Ford County. But they
were fed, and the local aocounts
make our mouths water. Une ox
was roasted whole,' also throe fat
porkers. Seventy-five pies and fifty
oakes were baked by the bride's
immediate, relatives. Fifteen gal
lons of fresh peas were served, also
ten gallons of homo-made piokles
were distributed. ' ' ;
Mormon proselyting in the South

with considerable risk, J but lately
the mountaineers of Kentucky have
been especially active in making
life a burden for the : Saints. Sev

ordered to leave the state1. They
have appealed for aid to the gov
ernor, but if he be a typical south
ern man he will have little sympa
thy with those traveling ' Saints,
who have caused so muoh misery
by separating families. Albany

It is related of Ingersoll thnt
some years ago he attended service
in a fashionable w8t side church,
iking a seat at random. .','A. lady
and gentleman later entered the
pew and. eyed Ingersoll with dis
pleasure, but without recognizing
him. After a painful silence the
man wrote a line on the fly leaf of
a hymn book and passed it to Inger
soll. It read: "I pay $300 a year
for this pew 1" Ingersoll with un
disturbed serenity, wrote a line tin
der this and handed the book back.
It read: "I congratulate you. : It
is a good bargain," and he kept his
seat throughout the service'.
The state department has re
ceived an official report from Consul
Henal, at Odessa, Russia, stating
that the failure of the crops in many
provinces of Europeon Russia is
much more serious than is generally
admitted. Energetic steps have
been taken to meet the situation.
The famine districts ' are divided
hp, and the government is acquir
ing knowledge of the failure in the
several districts; ', Employment is
also' being given to a large nuuuBer
of peasants on special lines of work,
such as roadmaking. One of the
most difficult questions to be solved
is how ' working stock and other
animals are to be saved, the hsiy
crop being a complete failure.
The primeval custom of going
about without hats is being revived
among women, and to an immense
extent.. "If you stand on the cor
ner of Broad and -Chestnut streets
any evening you will notice," a
Philadelphia writer says, "that four
out of every five of all the legion of
women spinning by on. bicycles are
guiltless of any head covering rave
that which the poet , pronounces
crowning beauty of the sex. ,-; Why
is this? Does wearing the hat out
of doors have the effect popularly
accredited to it- when done in thx
house? And do people generally
believe it? Or do the women want
to give a fair show of the work of
the hairdresser? Or do they only
want to be as little warm as possi
ble?" The i Seattle Post-InteUigencer,-about
two months ago, printed fig
ures which showed that up to that
date over 9000 men had gone to the
Alaska mines this season. Since
then over 3000 more' have been
added to the list. A reasonable
estimate as to the amount of money
spent by each man for equipment,
stores, fare and other expense?
would be about $600, and ' accord
ingly this season's victims have al
ready contributed $7,000,000 to the
craze, or an amount considerably
in excess of the padded figures of
receipts 'of the gold dttst this season.
Last season upwards of $15,000,000
was spent by the 25,000 to 30,000
people who rushed into tfie gold
fields, and the total output was less
than half of $15,000,000.
Only in the extreme southwestern
corner of Kansas are the grasshop
pers giving muoh trouble this. year.
There, however, they are thiok and
hungiy, and the farmers have
adopted an 'ingenious device for
gathering them in by : the whole
sale. The bottom of a big hayrake
is covered with pans filled with 'ker
osene oil. At the back of the' rake
tall' soreens are ereoted, and. the
whole machine is drawn through
the alfalfa, fields, the power being
furnished by a horse on either side.
The "hoppers!' :fly tip as the . ma
chine advances, strike the ' soroens,
and are thrown or fall down into
the pans of oil. That they are rea
sonably abundant is shown -by the
fact that a bushel of grasshoppers
is gathered every 15 minutes.

The United States must accept the
bad along with the good, pocket the
loss as well as the gain in - its hew
island possessions. The island of
Porto Rico has suffered a terrible
calamity; hundreds are dead, and'
ten of thousands are rendered home
less and impoverished. These peo
pie have lately become subjects of
the United States, and our govern-
ment must promptly and fully re-,
lieve (heir necessities. . We did not.
exactly figure on such destructive.
hurricanes as this when we took
Porto Rico from Spain, but since we)
have the island we must take it
with such hurricanes as come along ,
and we cannot pfford to let our sub- -
jects down there lie prostrate .be-,
fore such a blow. While hurri-
canes are not unusual in the region ..
of the West Indies, and while , they
often do much damage, this one,
seems to have been a record breaker,
so far as. Porto .Rico is , concerned.
The Spaniards will doubtless altri- .
bute it to the island's : change , of .
ownership, but we are suoh ekep
tics in this country that we will not
concede this. ' ' ' ' 1 "
