BARDOWIE TO PORTLAND
BRITISH SHIP HAS BEEX ORDERED
HERE TO LOAD FALL WHEAT.
She Sailed From Table Bay on the
15th, and Is Expected Here Some
Time In December. ,
Portlanfl's Fall and Winter grain fleet
is receiving fresh accessions almost daily
and the total tonnage en route and listed
is now well up over the hundred thousand
mark, nearly two and a half times as
much as the grain ports of Puget Sound
have to show, and over 1200 tons more
than the biggest previous August fleet.
The latest addition Is the British ship Bar
dowle, a steel vessel of 2011 tons. She
has been ordered here from Table Bay,
South Africa, and may be expected some
time in December as she sailed on Au
gust 15.
The Bardowie was built 30 years ago'
"by "W. Hamilton & Co., of Glasgow. Her
dimensions are: Length, 277.3 feet;
breadth, 4L8: depth. 24.4. F. M. Garrlty
is master. This Is not her first passage this
way, the vessel being well known on this
coast. She loaded December wheat here
in 1887 for Sibson & Kerr, taking away
77,523 centals of wheat then valued at
$96,906. Her rate on that occasion was
35 shillings flat.
It is not definitely known whether the
IBardowle has been chartered as yet. She
is probably seeking one of the 4C-GTTO
shilling cargoes which are now the fash
ion. Her coming Is not expected to bear
the ruling freight rates very noticeably
and, in any case, her owners are sure to
reap a richer reward for her services than
at her last appearance here. All of which
go to show that Portland Improves on
acquaintance.

SLEEPIN G-CAR PORTERS.
If They "Were Xot no Atifftist They
31isht Get Larger Emoluments.
New York Sun. ,
The Pullman car porters, who are
among the most dignified and reserved of
beings, except about the time when a
train approaches the city limits, have a
grievance against the public it does not
appreciate their services. Appreciation
should take the form of liberal tips, and
they are not as large as they used to be.
Time was when every run was a gold
mine, but the traveling public is begin
ning to discriminate between services not
wanted and services solicited. It may be
that the preternatural solemnity and pom
pous urbanity of the parlor and sleeping- J
car porter nas gratea on tne nerves oi
patrons of the railroad: at any rate, they
cannot understand why they should sub
mit to being forced to a standing posture
and be whlskbroomed down by a nabob
In brass buttons who has loftily Ignored
them during transit and expects a quar
ter for his spasmodic offlclousness. So the
free American sometimes Tefuses to be
brushed down, and the porter gets noth
ing and hates him. When, however, the
porter renders the traveler substantial
and timely services the oonslderatlon Is
seldom, if ever, withheld. No doubt he
can sometimes tell a harrowing story of
confidence misplaced and trust betrayed.
The following wall of a porter is to the
point.
"There were three of them in the party
father, mother and child," said the por
ter. "The kid kept me on the jump from
Chicago to Jersey City. I got them ice
water and coffee and forty other things
the boy wanted; I polished up their shoes
and brushed them. At the end of the
run the father'passed me a nickel. I
turned to the kid who had bothered me
half to death, bowed and handed the coin
to him, saying: 'Buy something for your
self with that sonny.' The boy looked at
the coin and said: 'I don't want it. It's
plugged. Then, as he handed the nickel
back to me, the father grabbed It, and
said: "Well, maybe I can pass It, after
all,' and put It in his pocket." This
was admltedly an Instance of base In
gratitude, but we contend that it was
exceptional. The porter usually gets as
much as he deserves and sometimes more.
A disgruntled porter testifies that his
Income has been very much reduced by
the fashion of women traveling alone.
At the end of the route they are usually
too flustered, he says, to remember the
porter, but should they haply do so their
contribution is too often represented by
five pennies. A really gallant porter
should not expect largesse from the ladies
In his car. It should be a favor to wait
on them; and, moreover, he should bear
In mind that they expect attention from
men and do not feel the obligation. It
might be said also that women are not
often "flush," their lords and masters sad
to relate, keeping them on meager allow
ance. A flve-penny tip from a woman Is
equivalent to a quarter from a man; and
the man will indulge himself with a drink
and a cigar when he leaves the train,
while the woman Is worrying about the
price of a cab to her hotel. It Is curious
to note that the aggrieved porters hold
the comic writers responsible for the de
cline In their receipts. "There is no more
money in the business," says one of
them. "The funny papers have spoiled It.
They have pictured the porters in big
diamonds till the public has grown to
think we are rich." No, the funny men
are not to blame, for as a topic for the
exercise of their humor the porter is a
back number. The fact is, the traveler
takes him at his face value. He looks
haughty, well fed, comfortable and Inde
pendent, and takes his duties with a fine
seriousness, as one who does not envy
the president of the company and the
directors. If patrons make the mistake
of assuming that this august being is a
man of elegant leisure when off duty and
is laying up dollars as a mason calmly
puts one brick on another, who is re
sponsible for any misconception but the
porter himself? A little unbending, a
cheerful face, and a readiness to serve
without the expectation of reward exud
ing from every pore, as it were, would ma
terially add to the emolument of the com
plainants. A FIovrcr Which Kills Flies.
Boston Globe.
Masslllon. O. A bunch of beautiful but
strange flowers was brought to the -station
by a trainman the other day. The
flowers were placed In water in Yardmas
ter Hall's office, which was then closed
for the night. The next morning Mr. Hall
noticed that the room, usually alive with
flies, was absolutely free from them.
Hundreds lay dead on the table under the
bouquet. When the doors and windows
were opened flies swarmed in, and were
immediately attracted to the flowers. In
every case it was noticed that with its
first taste of the flowers' sweetness ,the
fly fell over dead.
Trainmen have brought in more of the
flowers, and each bunch has reaped a
new harvest of death. Citizens have be
come interested, and are applying to the
trainmen for bouquets. Railway men
say screens for the doors and windows
are unnecessary with the flowers in the
room.
The flower Is shaped like a lilac, and is
almost as fragrant, though the scent is
by no means similar. It is of a pale yel
low, and grows upon a tall stalk. It
seems to flourish in a soil containing
much sand or gravel. In the gravel pit
south of the city, where It was found
by the railway men, It abounds.

NIGHT WORKERS IN NEW YORK
Figures That Show the Number of
Them to Be Upyrard of 40,000.
New York Sun.
There are 800,000 persons, men and wom
en, employed In what the law describes as
gainful occupations working for others
for compensation in. New York City. It
has heretofore been supposed that about
5 per cent of these were employed at night,
which would give a total of 40,000 night
workers In this city.
Recently a table has appeared intended
to show how many night workers there
actually are In the four boroughs, and this
estimate gives 3200 policemen, 3000 rail
road employes, 3000 bakers, 3000 newspa
per employes, 2500 engineers and firemen,
2500 actors and musicians and 1000 restau
rant employes. The total Is 20,000, the bal
ance being made up by the addition of
butchers, peddlers, steam railroad em
ployes, telegraphers, watchmen, electri
cians and miscellaneous workers.
The table, accurate In many respects,
falls short of completeness as to the total
number of persons employed at night in
New York. There are in New York and
Brooklyn 267 Raines law hotels, which
are open all night. In each of which there
is at least one man employed and usually
two. This figures up 3500.
The table does not Include the market
men, a considerable group of night work
ers, who number at least 1000, the men
who work along shore loading and unload
ing boats to the number of 1000 additional,
and it does not take Into account either
those employed on or connected with the
ferry business of the city, which is car
ried on all night in which there are at
least 500, a total of 6000 additional.
The number of watchmen is estimated
at 400, actually It Is nearer 2000, for there
are watchmen of buildings under construc
tion, watchmen of office buildings, watch
men in care of material, factory watch
men 'private watchmen and ordinary night
watchmen.
There are 250 hotels in New York City
and the number of night employes of
these clerks, porters, elevator men,
watchmen, bell beys, gas men and clean
ersis 2500, or an average of about 10 for
each hotel.
Another considerable item of night
workers Is made up of the employes of
apartment houses, elevator men. and jani
tors, and still another of city employes
connected with the water supply depart
ment, which Is going all night, and in
charge of public buildings.
Gas houses in New York do not shut
down at night time, but employ night
shifts of men, and the same Is true of
the foundry business, and there are the
all-night prug- stores as well as the all
night saloons, and the night hawk cab
men, whose chief time of profit is be
tween midnight and daybreak,
Taking all these classes together, it 13
probably no exaggeratfon to say that
there are 40,000 night workers in. New
York, exclusive of physicians and clergy
men. '
FRIEND OF THE SPARROWS.
Tells of the Good They Do to Their
Human Slanderers.
Forest and Stream.
I see in magazines and papers so many
articles In denouncing the sparrow that
I feel it my duty to tell of my 35 years of
close companionship with this little chap.
While I read the accounts of his alleged
murders and depredations on other birds,
I have yet to see any such disgraceful
acts on his part.
My experience with him has proved to
me that he is the farmer's best friend.
He Is the first little fellow in the Spring
to pounce on and destroy ail the cater
pillars and insects that arc destructive
to the farmer's crops, and he keeps peg
ging away at these vermin until the grain
is ripe. Then the crops are so far ad
vanced that they are safe. All he then
asks for In return for the benefit he
has been to the farmer Is a little grain to
carry him through the Fall and Winter.
So few know the reason for the Intro
duction of the English sparrow to this
part of the world that I wish to give It.
Many years ago the streets of New York
were lined with beautiful trees. In the
Spring, as soon as they began to put on
their Summer foliage, they were attacked
by an ugly looking green worm called
LAST SATURDAY.
the inch worm. These would devour all
the leaves, leaving the tree perfectly bare,
and then hang from the trees In millions
by a silken thread. They became such
an intolerable nuisance that a great many
people had the trees cut down to get rid
of them. After Introduction of the spar
row this nuisance ceased to exist. He did
his work bravely and well. This certainly
is a proof of the benefit he is to the farm
er. You can depend on it that he destroys
more harmful Insect life in proportion
than he takes back in pay for what -grain
he eats. While now and 'then there may
be cases of disgraceful acts on his part
to others of our most beautiful feathered
creatures, he has always behaved him
self In my presence.
At this writing he Is living In peace with
the catbird, robin, brown thrush, oriole
and many other birds in and around my
premises. The little chap cheers us with
his cheery note ail Winter. Thousands
of them are killed off by deep snow, cold
and want of food. Not only Is he a bene
fit to us In the way above mentioned; he
Is a shield, a protector to all the other
birds, in that he gives up his life to
tramp cats, hawks and the boy with the
rifle. If he were not with us surely all
the other birds would have to suffer.
I saw an article in one of our maga
zines advising the wholesale destruction of
the sparrow with grain soaked in poisoned
water. What a terrible combination that
Is to get In the hands of some idiot who
would use It and destroy numberless, oth
er feathered songsters. Last Winter one
of my neighbors soaked corn In pois
oned water and scattered It for (he de
struction of crows. He killed a bevy
of quail. I saw the dead birds. Besides,
many other birds have suffered with the
quail.
Before condemning this little chatterbox
make your home with him Summer and
Winter, and the more you 'see of him
the more you will see his value to the
farmer, and you will find on the long,
cold and dreary days In the country in
Winter, when all the other warblers are
in the Sunny South, these little Innocents
will brighten your pathway with their
cheerful notes.
MAKING OF A MILLIONAIRE
Boy Left Home With Fonr Cents and
Returned Lnter With Sixty.
New York World.
Little Max Goldstein expects to be a
millionaire some day. On 4 cents capital
he ran away from home last Friday, and
when at last his distracted father found
him yesterday Max had paid for food
and lodging and was 60 cent's ahead.
"I don't want to be a druggist," sobbed
the boy in the Center-Street Police Court.
Max lives at 12 Delmonico Place, Brook
lyn. He had to work for his brother-in-law,
Oscar Freeland, who keeps a drug
store at Harrison avenue and "Wilson
street. He was to be brought up to learn
the same business.
, But Max got disgusted with it, and
with his 4 cents In his pocket he ran
away from home. His distracted mother
had the police send out a general alarm.
Yesterday morning Policeman Grosky
found Max sleeping contentedly In a boot
black's chair at West and Barclay streets,
Manhattan.
"I'm not the boy," protested Max,
when the bluecoat told him he answered
the description of the runaway. "My
brother keeps a drug store up In Monroe
street."
"All right," said Grosky, "we'll go up
there and see."
On the way Max owned up.
"It's me," he whimpered. "I didn't want
to be a druggist. So I ran away from
home. With my 4 cents I bought papers
and sold them at the bridge entrance. I
made 6 cents.
"Next day I spent my 10 cents for pa
pers and sold them all. That gave me
something to eat and money to buy hat
guards. Then I quit the paper business.
But there was more rfloney in standing
outside the theaters with a box of
matches that you could get four for a
cent. The men wanted lights for cigars,
and a match would get you a nickel 'most
always."
No sooner was the lad arraigned in
court than his father, William Goldstein,
appeared and Max had to go home again.
But he is still proud of the fact that he
mare 60 cents out of 4 cents and supported
himself besides. ,

EXPORTS TO PORTO RICO
AMERICANS MADE "WONDERFUL
GAINS LAST YEAR.
Trade "Was Three Times as Great as
When the Island "Was Under
Rule of Spain.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. Exports of
American products to Porto Rico in the
fiscal year just ended were, according to
the figures of thNe Treasury Bureau of
Statistics, more than three times as great
as they averaged when Porto Rico was
under the Spanish flag, and more than 50
per cent In excess of those prior to the
enactment of the Porto Rican tariff law
which went' into effect May 1, 1900. The
total domestic exports from the United
States to Porto Rico in the fiscal year
1S97, which entirely preceded the begin
ning of hostilities with Spain, were $1,964,
S50. In the fiscal year 1900, 10 months of
which preceded the darte at which the
Porto Rico tariff went Into effect, our do
mestic exports to Porto Rico were $4,260,
S92. In the fiscal year ending June 30.
1901, all of which was under the Porto
Rlcan act, which levied 15 per cent of
the regular Dlngley law rates on goods
passing Into that Island from this coun
try, the tptal domestic exports from the
United States to Porto Rico were 6,SG1,
917. These figures include only exports of
domestic merchandise, and do not Include
foreign merchandise brought Into the
United States and re-exported to Porto
Rico, which presumably amounted to about
$300,000, since the Porto. Rlcan statement
of Imports from the United States for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, shows the
grand total, Including domestic and for
eign, to be $7,414,502.
Porto Rico Imported in the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1901, goods amounting to
$9,367,230 in value, and of this $7,414,502
came from the United States, the total
from other countries being $1,952,725. Of
this $1,952,728 Imported from countries oth
er than the United States, the value of
$S0S,441 was from Spain, $374,S37 from the
United Kingdom, $294,067 from Canada,
$166,723 from France, $152,201 from Ger

merce, but especially In manufactures.

from $23,000 to $101,000; vegetable oils,
from $53,000 to $66,000; soap, from $17,000 to
$27,000; and manufactures of wood, from
$49,000 to $100,000. There was a slight re
duction in exports of flour, probably due
to the very heavy Increased exportation
of rice from this country, which advanced
from less than 5,000,000 pounds to over 36,
000,000 pounds. Provisions increased
nearly $100,000 during the year, the ex

those of 1901, $961,001, and refined sugar
Increased in exportation from $6211 In 1900
to $14,684 In 1901.

New York Evening Post.
The recent unveiling in Paris of the
statue of the centenarian savant, Chev
reul, has served to justify the reprinting
of an interview with him In 1S86, when
ho attained his 100th year. Asked by the
reporter for the secret of his long life,
he replied gravely: "I can give It to you In
four words: 'Keep In good health." That
Is my whole secret." What were his
recreations? Fishing, though he hated
the taste of fish, and never himself sam
pled the trophies of his line. He was
also born with a "sense" for wine, which
was not only "indifferent" to him. but
positively abhorrent "a pure question of
an offensive odor," he explained. But
what did he do when he was fatigued?
"Fatigue? I do not know what the
word means. Work Is the way to rest."
"But there are surely limits to human
power, and. besides, when one is ill "
"111? I do not know what that word
means, either. I do not remember ever
to have been 111."
Thus the rule for living 100 years comes
down to the simple direction always to
live in firm health. Chevreul's Idea of
age was strikingly brought out at the din
ner given him In honor of his centenary
by the Parisian press. His son was pres
ent, and undertook to correct the father's
memory of a certain ancient menu. "Tais
toi, gamin!" cried out the old gentleman
with paternal authority. The gamin, be
It observed, was then 66 years old.

tain Robert G. Sawyer, of Savannah
Sound, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas. Cap
tain Sawyer was born in the West Indies.
In boyhood he followed the life of most
colored boys in the Bahamas, which con
sists in diving for conch shells, sponges
and fishes, and owing to t'he geography
of the country they spend the best part
of their lives In small boats, crossing the
rivers, bays and sounds which honeycomb
the Island.
Eighteen years ago the captain went to
sea m deep-sea vessels. He educated him
self and mastered mathematics so that he
could solve the intricate problems of navi
gation. He then became a navigator, and
was seen here In the West Indian schoon
ers Brothers and Sarah E. Douglass as
navigator of these vessels between the
West Indies and' Baltimore in the pine
apple season. When the Douglass enfered
the pineapple trade this season Captain
Sawyer was appointed master by J. W.
Culmer, of Nassau, who owns the vessel.
Captain Sawyer Is a man of powerful phy
sique. He Is about 6 feet 6 Inches tall,
and weighs 214 pounds, every ounce of
which seems to be muscle and bone. He
is built like a Roman wrestler, speaks
English fluently, and has excellent man
ners. He has a dark-brown skin. He
wears a natty blue yachting suit and
cap.
JUSTiGE
Is portrayed as a woman,
yet her sex migjit complain
that they get scant benefit
of her powers. There is
little justice, it would seem,
in the suffering that many
women undergo month after
month.
Justice acts upon the
legal maxim that ignor
ance of the law cannot be
pleaded in mitigation of
punishment. It is ignorance
which causes so much
womanly suffering. Ignor
ance of the requirements cf
womanly health ; ignorance
on the part of those who
attempt to cure and fail,
and ignorance of the fact
that Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription cures womanly
diseases. It establishes
regularity, dries weakening
drains, heals inflammation
and ulceration and cures

says Mrs. Mollie E. Carpenter, of

I could only write a few words until I would

dimness of sight, palpitation, shortness of
breath, black spots or else shining lights before
my eyes, terrible headache, numbness in my

uterus, disagreeable drams-, soreness through

and a six quart pail in the other (full of water),
and carry both one-fourth of a mile and never
