"I have been reading with the great else. est intern t, The Times report ot the Moore trial in New York,'! said a gen tleman of this city to a representative of this paper, "and no matter what the final outcome may be,"' he continued, "I will always remember, an Incident that showed mi . the - character of the woman in the case.- Let ma relate it to you. Seveml years ago I was walking np Third etrva; with 'Pet' Strahan. She was superbly dressed and was the pic ture of health, beauty and contentment. I well remember that Bhe attracted the attention of every paseetby. As we passed the corner of Yamhill street I noticed standing there leaning against the wall of the building a most abject fellow. He was a yon'h, hn Me wan cheek gave him an a; penance thai would add ten years to his age. Ragged, listless, objectless, he stood.

"The effect was electrical. The young fellow braced himself up, stood erect and a smile bespeaking that there was still kindnwa in the world spread over his featnres. "Then she dived into her purse, placed a coin in his band and returned to me My curiosity was aroused, and in spite of an effort to control it, I said : ' 'Pet,' who is jour disreputable look lag friend:' " 'Oh,' she replied, I have known him always. From earliest childhood, be was an orphan. We attended the tame school, and at that time my heart went out many days to him. He was not quick in his studies, was sick and weak ly, nnfit for the struggle of life from the beginning. Today, as we passed, I thought I recognised him, and God put in thought into my bead to go back to him. fie knew me; said he bad seen me several times before in my visit to Portland. I could see the hue of con sumption in bis face, that despairing yet hopeful look that none can describe. Then I did something that I hope yon will not be harsh with me for Laving done. I said to myself, this boy thai the world disowns, that was born to poverty, that has filt the pangs of hun ger, upon whom death has set bis grasp, shall know one happy dav, if it is in m power, and in bis hand I placed a twenty-dollar piece. "There was a sadness in her tone and 1 her eye bespoke that the tear was nigh, when she continued : " 'Sometime, oh so often, I think that there may come a time when I now favored and petted of all may be as abject and forlorn, may be as hopeless a wreck as the poor boy I have jnst left. But outwardly none will ever know, but if that time ever does coo-e, may God send a friend even for a passing moment. Someone who recalls old day and old mem oriee.' "1 could hardly believe what I bad seen and heard," continued the gentle man. "Here was a young woman clad in the height of fashion, moving in the most exclusive circles, reared in the lap of luxnry, never having a wish unful filled, stopping upon the street and talk. ing to a beggar.

In the death ot General Garcia Cuba loses a patriot whom the world may will admire. He did much with almost no thing with which to do it.

Bnt one other great natural advantage is fonad in tbe climate of tbe cotton States, as compared with tbat of New England, and another in the superior fertility of the Southron soil. Labor mailt always be largtly influenced as to wages by tbe cost of subsistence. Tbe oog, cold winters and sterile soil of tbe Easterns State render tbe cost of living there much greater than it is in the coV ton growing region. Dwellings that will afford protection from extreme cold clothing adapted to such a climate, and food that baa to be imported from tbe West or to be raised at great cost in the neighborhood sll these facts render dollar in the hands of a New England wagewoiker worth much fees than dollar in tbe bands ot his competitor in tbe tooth .

There is little or noihii g n Mr. Mo Kinley's annual mes ana to Congress, Ions as that document i, that indicates with any degree of ct itaiuty, what poll- y he Intends to folio towards the Philippines. This indicates that he has not decided upon a policy, or if he has, that he is afraid "o make it public yet, and confirms the b-lie of those who think that he intends to play loxey on the Philippine question until after be sets that Treaty of Peace ratified t 1 " Senate, and the 20,000 000 whU are to pay Spain, appropriated by gress. An announcement of a positive policy belor-' --tu niivlit result in mak ing too man. otes against both treaty and appropriation.

The message follows iust atcit the lines it was expected to folio1 lines plainly indicated for week?, ave months, past by official and eenii- ffi. inl emanations from '.ha adininie'ra'n n The message also indicates very uimi.l that Mr. Mc Kinley isn't aa auxiou t push along I financial legislation ae trine of the laea. oers of his party oa I i.ke'hiin t- be. j Senator Hale is tbe moat rabid repub- tican antt-expansioij!t who Las yet on limbered a rabid fire tn uoe battery and open fire upon tbe t'eara treaty, which be will fight to thela-t, lie predicts that if the treaty isca'-j..

It does not contain ti e ''round robin" sent irom Santiago, nor does it contain "Teddy "Kooaeveit'e rtport.which Teddy told the Ioveetigatitg Commission he hoped they would get and read.

Mr CaffV.y thinks we are paying too much aun-ion to things a way from borne ar.d not djing enough to improve things at home.
