BIG SHIPS AT PORTLAND
SEVEN CARRIERS IX PORT HAVE
CAPACITY OP 1,000,000 BUSHELS.
Pak Line Slakes a Fast Ran to As
toria, DraTTing 24 Feet Had
Very Quick Dispatch.
Two more big four-masters weje towed
into the Columbia yesterday to load wheat
at Portland. The Poltalloch, which start
ed from Santa Rosalia, last November, and
"went ashore on the Washington coast a
month later, came around from "Victoria,
where she has been In the drydock re
pairing the damage caused by her six
months rest on the sands. The Galgate
crossed in later, after a very fast pas
sago of 61 days from Callao. The arrival
of these two vessels gives Portland a Mid
summer grain fleet of larger proportions
than is usually found during the dull sea
son. In numbers this fleet has been ex
ceeded during the last week In July in
some seasons that are past, but' in size
and carrying capacity, the vessels have
never averaged up so large at this time
of the year.
There are seven of the big fellows In
port, and their combined carrying ca
pacity Is but little short of 1,000,000 bush
els. Six of them have carried cargoes out
of Portland in former years, and the
seventh, the German bark Nal, loaded at
San Francisco, so that the carrying ca
pacity of the fleet is easily arrived at.
The names of this July grain fleet now
In port, with tfhelr net registered tonnage
and the amount of cargo they have car
ried on previous trips, is as follows:

There is enough wheat on spot to load all
of this fleet, but the late arrival of some
of them will necessitate their going over
Into August for loading, and the month's
shipments will not be much in excess ot
500,000 bushels.
CHANNEL ALL RIGHT.
Pak LIngr, Drawlnjsr 24 Feet, Goes
J Thrnnnrli o Aufnrln in J Hnnr.
The blg steamship Pak Ling, drawing 24
feet of water, and carrying over 5000
tons of wheat, was taken Phrough from
Portland to Astoria yesterday in a little
over nine hours. This is the first of the
deep-draft ships to leave Portland since
the river has fallen, and as the June rise
generally makes slight changes, 10 was
decided to test the channel -with 24 feet
before sending deeper-draft ships down.
The ease with which the Pak Ling went
through without touching anywhere on
the route, shows the river to be in much
better shape than usual, and had it been
known that there had been no changes
in the channel since the low-water season
began, the steamer would have gone down
drawing 25 feet. As it was, she takes
less fhan 500 tons of a 6000-ton cargo at
Astoria.
The steamer was taken down by Captain
W. H. Pope, who is making a fine record
with deep-draft ships. Balfour, Guthrie
& Co.. who loaded the Pak Ling, hustled
the big ship out in pretty fast time, as
she did not reach Portland until late
Monday evening, and was not ready for
cargo until Tuesday morning. She will
finish loading at Astoria today, and will
get to sea after being In the river less
than a week.
XORWAT TRAINING-SHIP.
Dark Stjorn Chancres Owners
and
Enters a. New Field.
The German ship Herzovln Sophie Char
lotte, which for the past two years has
enjoyed the distinction of being the only
sailing-ship in the world used as a train
ing vessel, is to have a competitor. Mall
advices received in this city yesterday
report the sale of the Norwegian bark
Stjorn, a well-known wheat trader out
of this port, to a Stockholm firm for $55,
000. The new owners will fit the ship up
on the same plan as the North German
Lloyd's training ship H. S. Charlotte,
which visited this port last year. Like
the German vessel, she will receive a
government subsidy, but instead of turn
ing out officers for Norway's merchant
marine, she will be used to train sailors
and officers for the Norwegian Navy.
"While engaged in this work she will sail
around the world In the general carrying
trade, as she has done since she was
built. The Stjorn was built on the Clyde
in 1892, and during her career has made a
number of trips to Portland, leaving here
on her last trip about a year ago.
Brisk Competition.
ASTORIA, July 20. The competition In
the boating business around the harbor
is very brisk and exciting at the present
time, and those engaged In it take a
good many chances to secure the trade
of incoming vessels. Yesterday, James
.Keating took the gasoline launch Eagle
15 miles to sea to meet the British bark
Dumfrless-shire and thereby secured the
business of the vessel. This act does
not conflict with the quarantine regula
tions of the port, as the Jurisdiction of
the Government only extends to three
miles oft shore.
Saved From the Tanis.
BUENOS AYRES, July 20. The pass

GEMS AND JEWELS.
Superstition Attaching: to the
cions Bits of Stone.
Pre-
Who could wish for a prettier stone
than the delicate blue turquoise, the
gem which in Russia Is set in every
engagement ring, and which the wearer
must never part with, if she values the
love and fidelity of the giver? asks the
Philadelphia Inquirer. It is said to be
far more precious if given, and not
bought, and Is credited to change color
when the wearer Is sick or sorry, or
when danger is near. Its meaning is
success and faithfulness. The topaz is
much valued by mariners, because It is
supposed to possess an inner radiance
which will give light in darkness, and if
worn around the neck will ict as a
charm against magic spells, will banish
melancholy and calm terror and mad
ness. Therefore, it behooves every maid
to see that a topaz Is among her posses
sions. Another exquisite gem is the
opal, its beautiful creamy surface lit
with red, blue and yellow rays, scintil
lating In the light and giving it a place
in the front rank of precious stones.
Unfortunately, the opal has a bad name,
and we know the proverb about the dog
with the unlucky cognpmen! Supersti
tion credits this beautiful stone with
bringing misfortune to Its owner, and
superstition will win Its way so long as
the world lasts. The opal Is peculiarly
brittle and sometimes crumbles away
without any apparent cause, therefore it
has been branded "unlucky." But let
those laugh who will, there are still some
who value -opals for their worth and
beauty, and who can afford to .make
merry at the superstitious.
The opal Is the type of hope. Next
we come to pearls, the costly product of
the pearl fish of the Persian Gulf. These
lovely gems are obtained from the bed
of the sea by divers, who bring up as
many of the oyster-like shells as they
can, and then place them In heaps on
the shore covered with sand. They are
left for several days while the fish decay
and the shells open, after which the sand
Is sifted and the pearls found. They are
then cleansed and polished. The value
of the pearl depends on its size, round
ness, color or brightness. The most re
nowned pearls are the two which formed
Cleopatra's earrings, one of which she
dissolved in a goblet of vinegar and
drank to the health of her guest, Marc
Antony.
The remaining pearl became the prop
erty of the Emperor Augustus, who had
It sawed in two for earrings for his
daughter, Julia. Another historic pearl
records a similar act of extravagance.
It is said that at a banquet given to
Queen Elizabeth, a grand duke ground
a precious pearl to powder and drank
It In a goblet of wine to the health of
his royal guest.
A Too-Confiding: Immigrant.
New York Times.
"Say, voung fellow, what do you think
of that?"-
A postoflice clerk in charge of a stamp
window made the remark. "Talk about
hotel clerks having troubles, It's nothing
as compared with ours."
A little Irishman, whose faith in human
nature had just been rudely shocked, was
the cause of the remark. To the clerk he
had presented a $10 bill In payment for
50 2-cent stamps and had disappeared with
both stamps and money. About a minute
later he came back and said:
"Say, I lost roe money."
"I gave you your change," replied the
clerk.
"Sure, I knows ye did, but I lost It."
"But what can I do about it? What did
you do with it, anyway?"
"Oh, I left it on the window yonder
whin I went to post me letter."
"What did you do that for?"
"Sure, I only went a few steps."
The clerk could only smile as he turned
away. There was nothing else tor him to
do, while the too trustful Immigrant loud
ly berated the Americans for their lack
of honesty, and the Governmeat for its
refusal to make good his loss.
Outwitting the Waiter.
New York Times.
On one of the hottest days recently a
prominent Wall-street man walked into
Delmonlco's with a friend. The latter was
a member of the shirt-waist brigade. Tak
ing seats at a table, refreshments were
about to be ordered, when a waiter re-
marked:
"Gentlemen, I am sorry to say I cannot
serve you. The rule Is strictly observed
here to serve nobody who Is without a
coat."
The gentlemen were annoyed, and ex
pressed their amazement that such a rule
should be enforced against two regular
patrons. Finally the broker said to the
waiter, "You can serve me?"
"Yes, sir," he answered.
"Well, bring me a Scotch high ball."
After enjoying the beverage, he coolly
removed his coat, and handed It to his
friend, with the remark:
"Put on my coat and order what you
want at my expense."
The shirt-waist man did so and got his
drink.

BIGTHING FOR PORTO RICO
FREE TRADE GIVES IT AX ADVAN
TAGE OVER SISTER ISLANDS.
Prodnctlon of Sugar in Hawaiian
Islands Has Increased 2000 Per
Cent Under Reciprocity.
WASHINGTON, July 17. The action of
the Porto Hlcans in promptly accepting
that feature of the Porto RIcan act which
authorizes free trade between the Island
and the United States Is likely to give
them great advantage over their sister
L islands of the West Indies. At least, this
is a reasonable conclusion from an ex
amination of some figures just made pub
lic by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics,
regarding the prosperity which Hawaii
enjoyed after the reciprocity treaty which
admitted the sugar of those islands into
the United States free of duty. These
figures show that the sugar production of
the Hawaiian Islands has Increased about
2000 per cent under the free admission of

Islands and countries have, during
that time, suffered great depression, and,
in many cases heavy losses.
It was In 1876 that the reciprocity treaty
was made betweenthe United States and
the Hawaiian Islands. Prior to that date
the average production of sugar in the
Islands was but about 25,000,000 pounds per
annum. In five years the production had
trebled; in 15 years it was 10 times as
much; and in 20 years 20 times as must
as before the treaty. Within less than 10
years after the ratification of the treaty
about $20,000,000 of American capital
had been Invested In the Islands, and
the total value of the sugar production of
the islands since the treaty 1s $250,000,000.

The advantages which Hawaii has had
over other sugar producers, by reason
of Its ability to sell Its sugar free of
duty In the United States, Is Illustrated
by the subjoined table, which shows the
rlatlve growth, of sugar production In
Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba, and the entire
cane and beet sugar sections of the world,
from 1S70 to 1899. It will be noticed that
Porto Rico has decreased Its production
slightly In that time; that Cuba Increased
Its production from 1870 to 1895 (Its great
est sugar year) but 45 per cent; that the
cane sugar production of the world in
creased from 1870 to 1899 but 80 per 'cent,
and the beet sugar production 57.0 per
cent, while during the same time the Ha

The increase in commerce between the
Hawaiian Islands and the United States
which followed the free movement of
merchandise between those islands and
our ports is also illustrated by the fact
that the exports to the Hawaiian Islands
from the United States prior to 1876
amounted to Jess than $1,000,000 annually,
but rapidly increased until in 1900 It was
about '$14,000,000, and a recent report from
the Collector of Customs at Honolulu
estimates the figures for the present year
at $20,000,000. The commerce of the
islands is, according to the American
Cyclopedia, an accepted authority, larger
per capita than that of any other coun
try In the wo'rld. and nearly all of It with
the United States and carried In Ameri
can vessels.
The fact that this enormous Increase In
production and commerce and wealth of
the Hawaiian Islands has followed thB
freedbm of trade with the United States,
established by the reciprocity treaty of
1876, suggests that the Porto Ricans are
likely to benefit by the samj close trade
relations which they will have under the
new law which they have asked President
McKlnley to put into operation on the
25th of this month. The Hawaiian Islands
are 3000 miles from the Pacific Coast
and 6000 miles from the great consuming
centers of the United States: while Porto
Rico is but a few hundred miles dis
tant. The sugar production of Porto
Rico Is now double that of the Hawaiian
Islands In the year prior to the adop
tion of the reciprocity agreement, while
the tobacco, tropical fruits and other pro
ductions of Porto Rico will also have
the name advantages of free admission
to the markets of the United States in
competition with the dutiable products
of its sister islands of the West Indies
and of the world.
OLD TESTAMENT WRITERS
Objection to the Claim of Divine In
spiration. Rev. George H. Bennett.
It has been said the divine inspiration
of the Old Testament -writers Is Invali
dated by their corrupt conceptions of
God.
The prevailing Idea of Deity, among the
ancient nations in the time of the found
ing of Israel, and Its era of national ex
istence, as we find in a study of inscrip
tions brought to light by the archaeolo
gist, was of a being of great power and
wisdom, but jealous and vindictive in dis
position, and given to inciting deeds of
rapine and slaughter. While there were
many gods among them, they were all of
a lustful and murderous spirit, If we are
to credit the crimes said to have been
incited by them. The Hebrews are said
to have been tinctured with this same no
tion, and to have left many evidences of
this In their sacred books. Some of their
wars are described as being such displays
of "providence." Many striking illustfa-
VANDERBILT.
tions of the prevalence of this Idea of the
character of God, among the Hebrews, are
cited in the Old Testament. Commands
to utterly destroy the Canaanltes and their
kindred peoples, were attributed to God.
Wars upon neighboring peoples, In which
old and young men, women and children
were ruthlessly slain, are all attributed to
God as inciting them, andvby his "provi
dential" Interference giving Israel vic
tory. It Is said an illustration of the vlndlc
tlveness and partiality of the Hebrew Je
hovah is found in the summary destruc
tion of Uzzah, who thoughtlessly extend
ed his hand to steady the ark of God,
when the. beasts stumbled which were
hauling It. God In wrath smote Uzzah at
once without an opportunity for explana
tion or amends. Even the people were dis
pleased at this injustice of their God.
The poor fellow did no earthly harm to
anyone by his solicitude for the safety
of the sacred ark. It was only an af
front to the "majesty" of their Jehovah.
The King, David, and his followers at
one time ate the holy shew-bread, which
it was unlawful for them to eat; and the
priests profaned the temple and yet were
held guiltless, but poo Uzzah was over
taken with swift vengeance for his slight
error. In remarkable contrast with this
treatment of Uzzah, by Jehova, and in Il
lustration of the partiality attributed to
him, wag his treatment of David, the
King. When the great King robbed Uriah
of his wife, committed adultery with her,
broke up a happy home, and then mur
dered the unsuspecting husband, and be
came a stench in the nostrils of all Is
rael, and worthy of death by stoning ac
cording to God's law did God smite him
with swift vengeance? Not he. It was
a King who sinned in this Instance. But
It was a series of sins which wrought
havoc in Israel, and put law to an open
shame nevertheless, a few tears, a little
fasting, and the death of the illegitimate
child condoned the King's offenses and
David was even allowed to keep Uriah's
wife!
Another example of caprlciousness at
tributed to God by the Old Testament
writers Is cited in the instance of David
numbering Israel. He ordered a census
taken of his kingdom, a thing most rea
sonable In itself, and which any King,
constantly at war, ought to order that he
might know his military strength. Ac
cording to the sacred writer, God was
greatly Incensed, and for this trifling mat
ter, which injured no one, and in no con
ceivable way impugned the honor or char
acter of God, did God punish Israel not
the offending David! The ,sacred writer
says God slew 70,000 persons as a penalty
a penalty for a crime they did not com
mit. What would we say, today, if God
should destroy 70,000 of our citizens for
taking a census, or even for an actual sin
committed by our Chief Magistrate? Such
an act as this on the part of God, we are
told, " Is not in keeping with the New
Testament conception of God, and Is ut
terly repugnant to common sense. That
I God ever Inspired anyone to write such
stories of his dealings with men is past
belief.
In discussing the objection, that divine
inspiration of the Old Testament writers
is invalidated by their corrupt concep
tions of God, it will be noted the cases
cited are not cited to prove that God
has been vindictive and unjust, but as
showing the false Ideas prevalent In an
cient times even among the Hebrews, and
which have tinctured their sacred writ
ings. It is said these false notions of
God prove the writers were not divinely
Inspired.
How, therefore, shall -we deal -with this
objection? We may deal with it In either
of two ways: We may declare In the
old-time way that all contained in the
Scriptures has been placed there, just as
we find it, by divine Inspiration, and
that they are inerrant, and need only to
be better understood, to clear them of
difficulties. We may be able, possibly, to
show the sacred writers have not really
attributed these evils to God, but have
only apparently done so. We may be
able to prove the whole difficulty due to
the omission of certain facts and explana
tions from the narrative, or to our mis
apprehension of the narrative. Some, how
ever, are beginning to turn away from
this as an explanation that does not sat
isfactorily explain.
On the other hand we may admit, upon
the face of the record as It has come
down to us, the Old Testament writers
have actually attributed vlndlctlveness
and injustice to God. We may admit that
the conceptions of God entertained by
those Old Testament writers are widely at
variance with, the New Testament concep
tions of God. What then? Must we then
deny divine inspiration as a fact, must we
discard the Old Testament? Not at all.
We must simply correct our theory of di
vine inspiration. We must bring our the
ory Into accord with the facts. The cor
rect theory of divine inspiration must
be formulated in keeping with the truths
and Ideals of the New Testament, We
may lay down the principle that wherever
the character of God is Impugned In the
Old Testament, or falls short of the ex
cellence of the divine character as dis
closed by Jesus Christ in the New, we
must correct our conception and interpre
tation of the Divine Being of the Old Tes
tament, by the revelation of that Being
found in Christ In the New. We may lay
down, as the fundamental proposition In
the theory of divine Inspiration, that God
Inspired only those laws, and lessons, and
truths, and prophetic utterances, and con
ceptions of duty, and Illustrations of the
divine character, which are in keeping
with the ethical and religious standards
established by Jesus Christ. But what
shall we say of all that falls below that
standard? We may say It represents only
the best knowledge and belief ot the timet
In which the Old Testament, as we have it.
was written.
In this way this objection to the fact
of divine Inspiration In the Old Testament
will be removed; the multitudes of dis
crepancies in unessential matters, so often
cited, will be thrown entirely out of the
discussion; every portion of the Old Tes
tament will be accorded its real value; the
miraculous element In the Word of God
will not be disturbed; no essential prin
ciple or fact in the plan of salvation will
be undermined; and last, but not least of
all, we shall have a self-consistent theory
of Biblical Inspiration.

Sir Walter Besant In the North Ameri
can Review.
If we turn to the dally manners and cus
toms, it is wonderful to consider in how
many ways we have broken clean away
from the 18th century. For Instance, there
are the old habits of drinking. At a cer
tain election dinner, about the year 1790,
the company, several hundreds In number,
sat down at 5 o'clock and continued sit
ting over their wine and punch the whole
night through. At the great city dinners
It was not formerly unusual for men to
drink three, and sometimes six, bottles of
port; on Sunday morning, when the good
folks were on their way to church, they
"would have to pass dozens of men, dead
drunk, laid out on the pavement to" re
cover lnvthe cold air. Nay, this excessive
drinking was carried on well into the mid
dle of the century. I myself can remem
ber, as a common sight, the bottle nose;
the nose decorated with red blossoms;
the pendulous nose, caused by punch and
port. I have been assured by a veteran
officer that, when he joined his regiment
in the '30s, he had to sit every even
ing for three hours after dinner, drinking
port; and this at the age of 16! At Ox
ford and Cambridge the resident fellows
used to sit over their port every evening
for a couple of hours; the colleges prided
themselves on their port. A physician
who died in 1SS0 at the age of 72 told me
that wrhen he began to go into society the
dinners, which were simple, were finished
by 7:30; that, after the dinner, the men
sat over their port till 11 or so; that many
of them drank their three bottles; that
they then adjourned to the drawing-room.

where they were offered hot brandy and

these topers to get past the age of 50.
At all events, we have changed all this.
At the clubs, or the restaurants, It is
rare, indeed, to find any one drinking wine
after dinner. In private houses, I think,
no one does so; at dinner parties, the sit
ting after the ladles has become a mere
form a survival of the old custom; our
ancestors will "no doubt be grateful to us
for Introducing this moderation. It Is,
however, like all our work. Incomplete;
we have yet to teach the workingman to
combat his perpetual thirst, which Is but
a bad habit, not a disease.

"Yes, Indeed, I do," replied the nurse.
"But why do you look so sweet now?"

KEEP COOL FROM PROPER
HOT WEATHER FOOD.
People can live In a temperature which
fpta from ten to twenty decrees cooler
than their neighbors enjoy, by regulat
ing the breakfast.
The plan Is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast, use a goodly allowance of fruit,
either cooked or raw. Then follow with
a saucer containing about four heaping
teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, treated with
a little rich cream. Add to this about
two slices of entire wheat bread, with a
meager amount of butter, and serve ono
cup of Postum Food Coffee.
If one prefers, the Grape-Nuts can be
turned into the cup of Food Coffee, giv
ing a delightful combination. By this
selection of food the bodily energy is pre
served, while the hot, carbonaceous foods
have been left out. The result Is a very
marked difference In the temperature of
the body, and to this comfortable condi
tion Is added the certainty of easy and
perfect digestion, for the food is readily
worked up by the digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food and
its application to the human body has
brought out these facts. They can be
made use of and add materially to the
comfort of the user.
