Not less interesting is it to notice which are our leaning ports of exort for breadstuff, Of course New York takea t'.io lead in this, there having 'wen sliipjied from here breadstuffs to the value of 810. During the same timo there were exported from the following places breadstuffs valued as follows: Balti more, $3,103,500; Philadelphia, $2.803,. 917; New Orleans, $1,1W,010; Boston. 1 1,614,031; Sau Fraucisco, $23,034; Du luth, $458,278; Newport News, Va.. $325,271, and Chicago, $244,974. Thcso shipments from Newport News were undoubtedly to the countries south of us, which, under reciprocity treaties, are taking more of our breadstuffs than formerly. But see how Duluth, "tho zenith city of the unsalted seas," looms up as a place of exnort for breadstuffs. beating Chicago in this respect two to one. New York Mail and Express. The Largeit flower Known. In Mindinac, tho farthest southeastern island iu tho Philippine group, upon ono of its mountains, the volcauio Apo, a party of botanical and ethnographical explorers found recently, at a height of 2,500 feet above the sea level, a colossal flower. The discoverer, Dr. Alexander Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw amid tho low growing bushes tho immense buds of this flower growing like gigantic cabbage heads But he was still more astonished whei. he found a specimen in full bloom, a five petaled flower nearly a yard in diameter, as large as a carriage wheel, iu fact. This enormous blossom was borne on a sort of vine creeping ou the ground. The native who accompanied Dr. Schaden berg called it "bolo." The party had no scale by which the weight of the flower could be ascertained, but they improvised a swinging scale, using their boxes and specimens as weights. Weigh ing these when opportunity served, it was found that a single flower weighed over twenty-two pounds. It was impossible to transport the fresh flower, so the travelers photographed it and dried a number of its leaves by tho heat of a fire. Pearson's Weekly. Why l'oople Lone Weight In Summer. To most persons the summer season is a time of excitement instead of quiet rest, as it should be. With the approach of warm weather most people begin to lay plans for vacations and enjoyments, and in a little while have worked tham selves into a state of excited anticipa tion. Not only this, but they undertake excursions requiring considerable travel, either by land or water, so that during the heated term they have completely departed from the quiet paths of life trodden so steadily all the rest of the year. Now it is a well known fact that the majority of people lose weight during the summer. This loss is generally ac counted for by the smaller quantity of food consumed during warm weather, but we should say that the excitement incidental to vacations and traveling was as much responsible for it as the other. It is a question if our Indian summer, the most charming season of the year, would not make a better vaca tion period for the majority of people. Boston Commercial Bulletin. All In HU Eye. A man calling himself Dr. Henry vis ited the house of Mrs. F. K. Brewster, in Suffolk, Conn., on Thursday, and rep resenting himself as the assistant of Dr. Morgan, of Boston, who had been treat ing her for an eye disease, announced that he was sent to perform an opera tion. Mrs. Brewster, who is seventy five years of age, gave her consent The bogus doctor said she had an abscess on the eye and he would remove it. He produced an instrument, made twe or three motions with it over the old lady's eyes and then exhibited in the palm of his hand as the removed abscess a substance which afterward proved to be beefsteak. Then he collected twenty eight dollars from the old lady and left Hartford Letter. A Glacier In California.

"American" Tin Plate. On Mialf of the canning itulus try the National TrovisiomT is mercilessly exposing tho claims that McKinley tin plate is being manufactured in this country in commercial quantities. The treas ury department recently published statistics which, if accepted at their face value, would show that tho an nual product of .McKinley tin plate is almost enough to supply the country for a single week in the year, hut the Provisioner shows that most of this plato is imported as black plate and merely dipped in tin or lead in this country. There is no mistaking the story of these figures of the imports from England of cold rolled, pickled and annealed black plate ready for tin ning: Pounds. 18S9.., 0,246 18!H) 2,298 1SSU 1,339,582 1S92( first quarter January 1 to March 31) 3,637,708 The tin plate clause of the Mc Kinley bill did not go into effect until 1891. The figures of tho im ports of black plates ready for tin ning were merely nominal before that date, but the figures of three months in 1892 are even more than 1000 per cent greater than those for the entire year of 1890. To make certain that this imported plate, merely dipped on this sido, was the samo being reported by the treasury as "American tin plate" the question has been formally nub mittod to the treasury department, which has thus replied to it: In reply thereto you are informed that the department holds that im ported black plates dipped in this country for the purpose of making tin and terne plates are included within tho paragraph referred to. Black plates rolled from imported bars or billets should be similarly classified. There is no provision in law restricting the manufacturers to the use of American tin. Re spectfully yours, O. L. SPAn.Di.NO, Acting Secretary. To fully understand the fraud on the consumer perpetrated by the McKinley tin-plater it must be re membered that on the plates im ported ready for dipping the duty is only li cents a pound, while on plates ready dipped it is 2.2 cents a pound. Merely by import ing the black plates and dipping them the McKinley tin-platers realize this difference at tho con sumer's expense. Telegram: It would astonish the world if a case of genuine chol era should develop here in the far Northwest. The rumor that the steamer Empress of India has a man sick with the cholera aboard has alarmed the citizens of Vancou ver.

Sensational Suicide ol Col. Canaday in Washington. Tbrre Wae W l Caeo. Washington, rVpt. 27. William P. Canady, of North Carolina, exuer gennt at anna of the eenate, committed uicltlo here thin morning by shooting hluiK'lf through the head. He Iihh bcou In financial diHU'iilty for mej time. I Colonel Catuuly wax in partnership with J. Q. A. Houghton In the broker age business. Lust lilfjht Houghton placed fiiOOO in the bunk, aud early thin morning a uicH-icnger summoned him to the oillee, where Colonel Cana dy Informed him that he (Canady) had been act upon, bound and gagged by three marked men who rilled the wife. Houghton expressed liix disbelief In the statement and departed to won re a warrant for Canady 'a nrnnt. When the oftleers reached Cantuly's room at 7:30 he was found lying dead on a lounge with a bullet-hole in his head. He left a note to Houghton, saying: "After your conduct this morning I have no further uso for life." There are rumors that a young woman with whom Canady was intimate know something about the minting money. Canady has been separated from his wife for several years. It seems there was a woman in the ease, a Miss Moore, for whom he left a note, declaring he waa guilty of no wrong and asking God to bless her as his last prayer. Tho tragedy is the climax to a decade ot wild, adventur ous speculation In projects of a hazard ous kind, in the hope, always delusive, that each successive scheme would bring large wealth. It was about a quarter piist Ave this morning when Charles II. Htevenson, an employe In the flsh commifsion, who roomed on the second floor, Just altove Canady 's rear ofllce room, came down stain, having been alarmed by outcries. He found Colonel Cauady bound to a closet door in a room in which a safe stood, and across the hallway from his sleep ing quarters. Tho safe was open, and strewed over the floor was a great lit ter of papers, and In tho fireplace was a charred mass of burned papers. Col onel Canady was bound to the door with his hands behind him. ' The twine with which he was bound was very ordinary stuff such as Is used to bind large parcels, so that a man of ordinary strength ought to have been ablo to break It with ease. In his mouth was a gag, mado out of a torn piece of his night shirt, which was found across tho hallway. It had been loosened so he was able to make an outcry. Colonel Canady 's story was that some time after 2 o'clock In the morning three burglars forced an entrance through the rear window of the room In which he was found bound and gagged, went into the room In which he was sleeping, bound him at the point of a revolver aud then forced him to go across the hallway to the safe and open it. They abstracted a great part of tho contents, burned some papers and departed after bind ing hlni. Captain Houghton was sent for and to him Canady related the story which his jiartner refused to be lieve. An examination of tho papers showed a considerable number of nego tiable notes, made by Colonel Canady, had been burned, and every book con taining records of Indebtedness against blra had been destroyed. Afflrnilng his disbelief in the story, Captain Houghton aald he would go for the police and have the story investigated. Office Hodges and Gilbert accom panied him on his return to the house. The servant girl told them she thought Colonel Canady had shot himself. A window at the rear was forced from the outside and the dead mail was found lying on the cot. The De Moss Family Concert.
