8 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1901. DEATHBED REPENTANCES PHAKJLCTEBIZED AS COWARDLY BY DR. E. P- HILL. To Seek. Salvation In the Last Hour Lllccned to Attempt of Deserter to "Win Rewards of Valor. "Deathbed Repentances" -was the sub ject of the sermon preached last evening by the Rev. Dr. E. P. Hill at the First Presbyterian Church. He chose as his text: Luke, xxIU:42-43, "And he said unto Jesus: 'Lord, remember me "when thou earnest into thy kingdom.' And Jesus said unto him:. "Verily. I say unto thee today shalt thou be with me In paradise.' " , In beginning- his sermon. Dr. Hill ex plained that a visitor had informed him that sme young people In the city had been discussing the possibility of a man (being saved on his deathbed after having lived a godless life. Some of the com pany had insisted that such a thing was .not popslble, for it would be xmjust, while others were sure It was possible, and they "were disposed to defer the matter of their souls' interests until the time came for thorn to die. After referring to the case of the dying thief and showing that a deathbed repentance is possible, the speaker dwelt on the meanness of a man who would deliberately plan to serve Satan all his life and then In his last (hour seek salvation. "Such a man proposes," said Dr. Hill, "to let others do all the fighting, receive all the wounds, and then when the time comes for the reward, he will appear to claim his share. I once listened to a thrilling description of the battle of Get tysburg by a man who was there. It made my blood almost run cold, just to listen to a description of the fearful car riage that was wrought. One could al most hear the hissing of the bullets and the cries of the dying as the speaker told .of that famous charge of General Pick ett. Suppose on the day of that battle one of the soldiers had slipped away to & place of safety and there, while his comrades were fighting and falling, had spent the day in hilarious carousal. Then suppose the day after President Lincoln had come to express the gratitude of the Nation and to bestow on each of the survivors some token of the people's ap preciation, and suppose when the true heroes were drawn up in line to meet the President, this man were to slip In his place, and, with the utmost confidence, wait for his share of the praise. He did ?iot -strike a blow, and yet he has the Impudence to ask for a reward. While others were bleeding and fighting, he was reveling; while his comrades, with set teeth, were rushing against the enemy, lie was sneaking to a place of safety. And yet, when the battle is all over, he has the effrontery to apply to himself the Nation's grateful shout of praise. 'Well done good soldiers.' "This is the plan of the man who de liberately proposes to spend his life in Bin and repent with his last breath." JACKASS ON THE $io BILL. Jnst .Examine Your TrcasniT JVote of Scries of 1SSO and Find It. Springfield Republican. An interesting tory comes from Chi cago which every citizen who has a treasury note of the 1SS0 series can verify. He holds a "jackass bill." It appears that the government was made the vic tim of a practical Joker in the Bureau of Engraving and the staid, serious money of the" country has become the vehicle of a puzzle picture. The treasury officials have omitted to place an Inscription on the bill, "Find the jackass." The ab sence of this has kept the matter a Gov "ferxftaent -secret for some time. Although the "jackass bill" has been In existence for several years. It was first discovered the other day by a bank clerk In Chicago, -iyho thought it was a counterfeit and re reported its discovery to the sub-treasury officials. They had been Ignorant of the puzzle picture and sought information from Washington. The answer received was not made public except so far as the bill was acknowleged as genuine. The full text of the message from Wash ington, It Is said, was to the effect to keep the "jackass" quiet and not let the public hear its braying. The jackass shows as plain as a life like portrait when the bill Is turned up side down. On the face of the bill Is an American eagle in -a little engraving to -the left of the seal, and between the aames of J. W. X-yons, register of the treasury, and Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of the United States. There is nothing ""peculiar in the eagle until the bill Is turned up side down and the eagle be comes a jackass, perfect In outline. The jackass picture is on one of the most common of the $10 notes in circulation. The surprising thing is that the puzzle or Joke on the eagle was not discovered long ago. None of the serious men who ihandled the money at Washington ever thought of turning the bill upside down. Che men who examine designs be fore they are committed to the engraving machine and the en graver passed the double tender, as It "was facetiously termed. The bills had gone all over the country when the artist who perpetrated the joke In a spirit of ma liciousness and revenge sent word to the treasurer of the United States to scan the portraits on the treasury I10 bill when held upside down. The jackass was found and there was consternation in the depart ment. For the best interests of the service and Sot the sake of the reputation of the department it was decided to let the combination of eagle and jackass alone in the hope that the public would never notice the picture. The story that comes from Washington is to the effect that an Englishman work ing In the Bureau of Engraving was dis charged for having opinions -counter to .those of the Republican party. Having Been given the "usual month's notice, he "decided upon a cold-blooded revenge upon the Imperial eagle pf McKinley. He was working upon the new plates for the $10 "bill, and by a deft handling of the lights and shadows of the eagle he produced the jaokass. From an artistic point of view Ms work Is excellent. The head and neck of the eigle, which has a peculiar left twist, furnishes the head of the jack. The light shading at the base of the wing be comes & perfect eye from the other view point. The thighs of the eagle form the ears of the jack. Frencii "Wines. Andre Leban in International Monthly. The old French vineyards that for so many centuries furnished our people with their national drink, which was both qulckenng and refining, occupied 2,500,003 hectares, and yielded every year an aver age of 55,000,000 hectoliters of wine. We might say that, in respect to 'the genera tions which lived some 25 years ago, the capital of the first founding of this enor mous source of riches was entirely liqui dated. To tell the truth, the expenses incurred by the improvement of the lands had sensibly increased, consequently there arose so much of the lowering of wages for hand labor, which plays so great a role In the care of the vine, that consid erable expenses were occasioned by cer tain diseases, relatively recent among the vines, such as oidium and mildew. The 3'ield, however, continued very profit able, and little subject to change. But the phylloxera came unexpectedly; after years of fumbling we were obliged to re sign ourself to pulling up the old roots of the vine. We replanted with American cuttings, which we grafted with French sIIds; some million francs were set aside for this work; the substitution is today almost complete, and we have nearly got back to a state of things similar to the large returns of former times. What a difference, "however, "between the present ndthe 'former economic situation! The ! expenses of Improvement do not grow less, hand labor becomes dearer and dear er, and It Is always necessary to struggle against the reinforcement of expenses and the same old diseases. Besides, it is necessary to pay interest on the new capital used in the substitution. "Worse still, at the very height of the crisis, at the time that French production had di minished to less than half, vine-growing was started or developed In countries which had not before been large produ cers, and whose soil, less worn through several centuries of work, was not so 'fa vorable to the growth of diseases. These were Spain, Italy, Algeria, Hungary and Southern Russia. The taste of the con sumer had in the meanwhile changed. When the rise In prices occurred some Ingenious tradesman invented some manu factured drinks which have broken the trade of the natural products. Even the lovers of fine wines at this time often showed more care for the label on their bottle than for the quality and veritable origin of the contents. So that at the very time when the French wine-sellers thought they had reached the limit of their exertions, and were once more capa ble of resuming their, old position in the international market, they found them selves face to face, on one hand, with new competitors, and on the other with consumers who were difficult to win back, and with all this the general conditions of the cost price infinitely less advan tageous than before. WAYS PEOPLE GET SICK. Two Men Who Can Predict When They Will Be III. Philadelphia Record. Different people have different ways of knowing when an attack of illness Is com ing on them. Two men who are just get ting over the grip were discussing this yesterday. Said one: "Ordinarily I am very fond of coffee, while tea Is decidedly repugnant to me. But there occasionally comes a time when coffee loses Its charm and fla vor. It tastes bitter in my mouth, and my stomach revolts at the thought of it. It Is then that I take to tea, which ordinarily I despise. That tells me I am going to be sick. I feel It In my bones, and the symptoms have never failed me." "That teems queer," said the other man. "Now, in jpy case, when I feel run down I have an inordinate craving for chocolate not as a beverage, but to chew. When I find myself looking around for slot machines and dropping pennies in them for cakes of chocolate I make up my mind, that I am In for a spell of sickness, and sooner or later I have to knuckle under." A third man had been listening a young man with yellow fingers. "I know I'm go ing to be sick," he said, "when cigar ettes don't taste good to me." The oth ers laughed him to scorn. "You ought to be sick all the time,' they said. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. R. Jandorf, Chicago C E Taylor, Omaha "Blanche, D Cummlngs, L E Cochran, Boston G Mitchell. N Y.

Exports Since Opening of Season Are Over 10,000,000 Bashels of Wheat and 750,000 Barrels of Flour. Portland's European wheat exports for the month ending yesterday came very close to the 1,500,000 bushel mark. The showing is a very good one and had there been the usual facilities for shipment of flour, the combined shipments of wheat and flour would have approached very close to 2,000,000 bushels. As It Is, the shipments are a quarter of a million bushels larger than they were In March, 1300, and very close to those of March, 1899.

The flour shipments to the Bay City, however, were much larger than usual, a considerable quantity going south to be reshipped at San Francisco on steamers bound for South Africa. The shipments for the month of March bring the total shipments from Portland for the season to date, up to 10,231,229 bushels of wheat, and 755,709 barrels of flour. Shipments for the same period in the previous season were 7,256,905 bushels of wheat, and 787,557 barrels of flour. Puget Sound, which was well equipped with steamship facilities to the Orient, made quite heavy flour shipments In March, but the fact that the total of 64,044 barrels for the Orient was distributed among seven steamers shows that the business was mostly on small orders. In addition to the flour-for the Orient, Puget Sound sent one cargo, that of the Ilala, to South Africa. This vessel carried 20,250 barr rels of flour and 1666 bushels of wheat. The Moyune, for Japan, carried wheat for Europe and flour for Japan. The Santa Anna took 500 barrels of flour to Hono lulu. The remainder was carried by the Tartar, Glenshlel, Olympla, Buckingham, and by the Empress, sailing from Van couver. Three sailers, the Zlnlta, Scottish Glens, and Sierra Miranda cleared for Europe direct, the total wheat shipments to all ports amounting to 472,210 bushels. While the month of March was highly satisfactory from a shipping. standpoint, April will undoubtedly surpass It In the volume of business handled. There are 13 sailing ships now la port under charter to load, and at least half a dozen due, and nearly all of them will get away this month. The steamship Universe will clear today with a full cargo of flour for the Orient, and there are some heavy orders In for shipment to the South. The O. R. & N. Co.'s mammoth liner Indravelll Is scheduled to sail the latter part of the month, and will take out a liberal consignment of flour, and the Tyr, for Siberia, will also take" some flour.

Action of Maryland Legislature In Disfranchising Good Share of Col ored Vote Revives Talk. WASHINGTON, March 27. The action of the Maryland Legislature In disfran chising a large proportion of the colored vote of that state has revived the talk about cutting down the representation in the Southern States. It is almost sure that such action will be attempted next Congress, but how successful It will be Is another question. The House, with a Republican majority of 40, under the Reed rules will be absolutely able to pass any such legislation if the majority desires it, but the question Is, Will the majority think it expedient? Probably the House can muster a sufficient majority for the purpose, but the bill would have to pass the Senate, and there It would fall. There is no question about the majority In the Senate, but It will not be such & majority as will "stay up nights" with the proposi tion. The majority In the 51st Congress was large enough to pass the force bill, but It would not stay night and day and force a vote. It simply could not have reachd a vote, as the Gorman-led Demo crate were strongly Intrenched behind enough talk to defeat the bill. This will, no doubt, be the case In the event of a measure being presented to cut down Southern representation in the 57th Con gress. Another feature of this proposition is that a great many prominent Republicans do not favor the plan. So far as the Southern Republicans are concerned, they are strongly opposed to It. Such legisla tion, passed because Illiterates and negroes have been disfranchised, means a recogni tion of the principle of disfranchisement. It means a partial rectification of the mis takes of the reconstruction period, when the negroes, without regard to qualifica tions, were given the right of suffrage. It also means the loss of power of the South ern States In National conventions. It would be a sad blow to the negroes of the Republican border states. They would re sent any such legislation as a recognition that the negroes of the Southern States should not be allowed to vote. With all these questions brought to the fore, It Is more than probable that a luke warm Republican majority would be all that could be mustered In the Senate for the purpose of reducing Southern repre sentation. Such a majority cannot suc ceed against a determined minority, which is certain. Speaking of this new Maryland law, it Is an Interesting fact that the majority in the Sfate Senate by which it was passed was obtained by fraud. One Republican candidate for the State Senate was defeat ed by a few votes. Subsequently, it was ascertained there were four times that number of fraudulent votes cast for his opponent, and that enough votes to elect the Republican which were cast for him were thrown out in one of the Democratic precincts. This made it possible to Issue the certificate of election to the Democrat. This gave the Democrats a majority of one In the State Senate. It was this nar row majority that passed the disfran chisement law. MAKE A HOME, GIRLS. Begin Married Life in a Home of Your Ofvn. Philadelphia Record. Begin your married life In a home of your own is sound advice to all prospec tive brides. Boarding is at best a lazy way of existence, and the young couple who comence life in this way will surely regret It sooner or later. Take a house, no matter how small It must be, make a careful selection of rugs, curtains and furniture, and when the little nest has been cosily furnished settle down to be come acquainted with each other for this is a matter of no small account. Living In his own house, the man at once becomes a factor In society, while in a boarding-house he is but a grain of sand. So is it with a woman. In her own home, her Interest is constantly aroused, every womanly Instinct Is called forth, and she constantly becomes more and more womanly and lovable. It Is the woman who boards who be comes the trlfler, not the woman who has her own home. It Is the woman who boards who becomes flippant, not the woman with home ties and home carea. A woman who spends a few years in a boarding-house becomes accustomed to the ease and comforts which surround her, without any exertion on her own part, and she becomes more and more re luctant as the years pass by to exert her self to make a home for her family. Children brought up in a boarding house lose the best part of their rightful inheritance, for their have no home asso ciation, no happy recollection of their home life, in true pleasures to which they can look back when they have become men and women. Make, then, a home, girls, In which you can look back after many years have passed with pleasant thoughts of the many happy hours that were passed beneath your own rooftree. There are cares and trials In every home, but the pleasures are also to be found there rather than In the boarding house, where gossip and idleness are among the chief features, and where home pleasures are lacking. Canada and France. Sir Charles W. Dllke In the Imperial and Colonial Magazine. The French Canadians diMIked the Am erican colonists (with whom they had constantly throughout their history been fighting) a great deal more than they did that to them, at that time, harmless abstraction, "The King of England." The French Canadians, had not been happy in their relations with their own mother country. They were steady, even through the severe trials of the American war, when we were fighting both our revolted colonies and also France. The French Revolution profoundly shook their senti ments, which In those days were far more Catholic and monarchic than they were nationally French. This la a mat ter not easy for us to understand. We have lived through the full .height of the nationality period. But, except in Po land, it was a movement which began after the Revolution. For the masses of the people there was little idea of French nationality before 1789, and as soon as the idea of a French nation, apart from the person of the King, sprang up- In the minds of the Frencn canaaians. it was found by them a hobgoblin, of which their fright was such as to drive them more toward ourselves. The French sentiment of Canada, not very deep in the sense of affeoting political action, is based upon language and literature, ana Is a sentiment of our day. There was not a single printing press in Canada ai the time of the Br'jtish conquest. Th. first newspapers came with British rule, and a loyalty Immediately after the con quest, which we can hardlr now at first sight explain, Is not inexplicable whe circumstances are oonsldered. The Amer leans counted on the French Canadian siding with them. In those days Roman Catholics wert excluded from our colonial assemblies and we had declined to place the gov eminent of French Canada In tho hand of an Assembly which would have ex eluded the Roman Catholics, and had lei u nnJpr n. Gnvemor in council, continut- from the French days a system whlcl Included the French Catholics within tr government. The clergy stood flrn through the American rebellion, for Brit ish rule, and although most of the coun try people remained neutral, yet a large number of the French Canadian volun teers joined the British arms to fight against their old enemies represented by the American Congress. Local patriot ism, rather than a feeling of French ver sus British, entered mainly Into the ac count, and the local determination was that Boston should not hold Quebec or Montreal. SATISFIED WITH HIS JOB. Workman Did Not Care About the Prohibition of Smoking. Cleveland Plain Dealer. One of Cleveland's leading business con cerns hired a new man, the other day, and a little later, when the superintendent passed by, he noticed that the new man was smoking a pipe. The rule against smoking on the premises is a rigid one. "See here, my man," cried the official, "you can't smoke here." The new man looked up and nodded, and the superintendent passed along. A half hour later he was back again, and lo! the new man was still enjoying his pipe." , "Say," the official cried, "dldn'til tell you that smoking was not permitted here?" "You did," replied the new man. "Didn't you understand me?" "I did." "See here, perhaps you don't know who I am?" "That's a true word." "Well, I'm the superintendent." The new man looked up at the official with an expression of deep interest. "Are ye, sure?" he cried. "Superinten dent, eh? Well it's a fine job take care of It." And he calmly returned to his work. Pipes Smoked By Aztecs. Chicago Chronicle. The Increasing commerce with Honduras and Nicaragua Is bringing to this country many of the odd Implements and curios of those lands. The Spanish population has a large admixture of Aztec or other aboriginal blood and preserves many of the Implements as well as customs which prevailed In time of the Montezumas. One of the queerest survivals In this regard is the long pipe, which Is still employed in the rural districts of both republics. It Is made from a shrub or a sapling which grows somewhat like the elder. The bush Is cut down and the pith extracted from the stem, which Is afterward peeled, pol ished, dried and painted with primary colors In barbaric style. The simplest form Is a straight stem from three to six feet In length. A more expensive kind Is made from a stem with two terminal branches. This demands much more care in extracting the pith and enables the owner to offer a friend a mouthpiece on one branch, while he Is enjoying another upon a second. Three-stemmed sticks are also made, and, very rarely, four-stemmed ones. These are kept as curios rather than as useful articles, and are supposed to have been employed upon especial oc casions In the days of the Incas. The bowl Is of red clay, gray clay or sandstone, and the mouthpiece may be of bone or horn, or decorated sliver and am ber. The length of the stem causes the tobacco smoke to cool appreciably In Its passage from the bowl to the lips and, gives a taste almost as mild as that produced by the Oriental narglle. The tobacco used with It Is of a rich red brown color, about Intermediate In flavor and appearance between Virginia and Havana leaf. These pipes make very pretty ornaments for a mantel or for a wall, being much more pleasing to the eye than the "church warden" familiar to all smokers. They are strong and dur able, but unless oiled or varnished now and then, they are apt to split In a dry climate. Collectors make it a. rule to -oil them on the Inside once a year. The new book In England, entitled "Drifting," created something of a sen sation. It awserts that Great Britain is going to the dogs, politically, agricultur ally, commercially, financially and eco nomically. The author conceals his Iden tity, saying: "I wlshito concentrate pub lic attention on my book and not to di rect It toward myself." It is a wonderful soap that takes hold quick and does no harm. No harm ! It; leaves the skin soft like a baby's; no alkali in it, nothing but soap. The harm is done by alkali. Still more harm is done by not washing-. So, bad soap is better than none. What is bad soap? Im perfectly made; the fat and alkali not well bal anced or not combined. What is good soap? Pears'. All sorts of atorei nellit, es peclally druggists; all sorts of people use it.
