" ' .. Quarantine Not Very Injurious. The Quarantines have fortunately been-put on In a season of Summer dullness and, if they are taken off when trade "becomes active, the" only Incon venience will come from the obstruc tions to the movements of traffic One of the features of the situation that is attracting attention Is what are termed new foci in excess of the number of cases under treatment.

Campbell Morgan Finds Too Much Attention Paid to Social Fea tures, Not Enough Religion. NEW YORK. Aug. 23. A criticism of the American Protostant churches was -voiced today by Rew Dr. G. Camp bell Morgan, who has been' working In the late Dwight L. Moody's place at East Northfleld, Mass. When on the point of .sailing for Europe on the Bal tic, Mr. Morgan said: . "The American church does not seem to be much more than a social organi zation now. Its members spend more time developing along social lines than they do along spiritual lines. The busi ness men, the Influential Christians and others do not do their duty. Wrapped up in their own affairs or busy in the pursuit of frivolity, they lose track of the way and forget tho plorfge they made to their church organization. The old fire and old-time spirit are lacking. "What the churches want is more .God and less of dress and social posi tion; more spirit of the Master and less of a strife for place and money, and more religion by example and life than by talking and preaching.

There seems no doubt that the price of meat has risen 40 per cent during the laBt ten years and from 20 to 30 per cent within a year, but those who are -investigating the situation are divided as to the causes whether the increases are attributable partly to the generally Increasing scale of living or altogether to the customs duties and the sanitary barrier to the Importa tion of meats and live animals.

The tragic death f Mrs. Jane Stanford has been recalled y a sensational story published here to the effect that the representatives of the Stanford estate practically offered roonc tary inducements to local physicians to change their opinion that strychnine caused the death of Mrs. Stanford.

In Acquiring Citizenship Has to Forswear Allegiance to Both King Oscar and 'Norway. From whom or what does the man of the Viking race forswear allegiance when he wishes to become a citizen of the United States? This is a question which Is puzzling Captain Sladen. clerk of the Federal Court, and not being able to answer It satisfactorily to himself, he makes them promise to acknewledge no sway of Ofcar, King of Norway and Sweden, or of the government of Nor way. The new and puzzling question came up yesterday afternoon when Albert Oberg. a native of Norway, appeared be fore Captain Sladen and asked to make application to become a citizen. It is required in the oath to be taken that tho applicant swear to hold no further al logience to his former sovereign. In this case, Mr. Oberg did not acknowledge the sovereignty of King Oscar over his natlvo heath In Norway, while the Gov ernment of the United States does not recognize the Norwegian government as It at present stands. After some consideration Captain Sladen required the applicant to forswear the domination of King Oscar and also of the government of Norway.

The gold found varies In value from tiny par ticles to nuggets worth several dollars each. Was It not for the fact that the auri ferous gravel lies In an area almost flat, It would have been worked years ago by the ordinary methods of placer mining. It has simply been the physical obstacles which prevented hydraulic miners from attacking the gravel. Water they could obtain, but the debris constantly Inter fered with the progress of the men at work. It Is only a few years ago that the first gold dredge was designed to meet a slm . v Har condition In A Wonderful New Zealand.

The method employed Is an Interesting one. The land Is regularly cross-s "ra tioned. A shaft Is sunk In each of the uniform plats outlined. Every particla of the material obtained from this shalt is carefully washed and panned. A rcccrd Is kept of the gold separated and saved from this shaft.

From the results already obtained it Is estimated that the gravel deposits will yield from $7000 to $15,000 an acre. The gold is worth 518 an ounce. It Is expected that the land will produce 23 cents a cubic yard on an average But One Acre's Profits. ground paying 15 cents a cubic yard. when TvnrV1 tn depth ot seven yards, will yield over S5000 an acre. Ten-cent ground will produce nearly $3400. leaving a profit of nearly $1750 per acre. A dredge Is expected to handle 7000 cubic yards a month. In 25-cent ground.
