TRACY AND SEATTLE. in entering his haven of safety is a question which only time can de cide. It is to be hoped he will not A question which appeals to the philisopbic mind at the present time, is the reason for Convict Tracy's very apparent desire to remain in the vicinity of the pity of Seattle. It seems strange that in the face of such ever-present and constantly increasing danger as now threatens him, h should persist in returning to the very outskirts oE the big Sound city after having been forced to flee time and again by the minions of the law. It would seem that he would, after stealing- the boat from Madison Point, have fled on to the north in stead of rowing south to Renton, where he turned up so suddenly while the police and posse were ear nestly searching for him at an entire ly different direction. To the north the country was sparsely settled, heavily timbered, and that way led to Canada and practical freedom. To the south the country fairly swarmed with people who regarded Tracy in the same light as a mad dog and eachof whom was bent on his death. Yet the convict, in the face of all this apparent dan' ger, fled southward. .This exact reversal of the tactics which he was expected to use, may bo classed by some as generalship, but when one stops to think it be comes apparent that Tracy is laying himself open to such uncalled-for danger in a frantic effort to enter the city of Seattle and reach his frfsnds among the lower element of that city. we have all seen a snake, surpris ed by human foe, leave the bit of shrubbery jn which it was practical ly safe from barm, and race directly toward its .human enemy, and per haps to destruction, in a frenzied ef fort to reach the hole under tbe rocks which it .regarded as home and the only reaDy. secure hiding place. So with" Tracy. For years Seattle was honored by his residence and dishonored ,by his . crimes. Practi cally every member of the under- crust fraternity of that great city stands hfs Iriend. Away from Seat tle he is alone and must cope with the sheriff and posse as best he may, with perhaps slight assistance from .friends. Once within its limits the entire tenderloin district becomes one vast cloak to hide bis move ments. His tracks, should he walk the streets, wpnld be obliterated al most immediately ,oad- bloo"dhounds could not follow his trail 10 feet Once within the conSnes of Seat tle's tenderloin Tracy Is far safer than in the deepest mountain fast ness of Canada, for only a simultan eous search of every bouse la the disreputable quarter could hope to lo cate him; he -can be well supplied with the necessities and luxuries of life by his, friends, and eventually stowed away on some vessel which will take him to freedom in a foreign land. It -is noticeable; that .fronx .the.'very day ot hlB escape Tracy's .every ef fort has been to reach Seattle. From Salem he made almost a bee-line for that point. Portland was a large .place and afforded ample opportuni-' ty for hiding, but It did not contain as many of his friends as Seattle And 'it was not "home. Tracy is trying to roach home, and the fright aaod snake, .he is rus MPMfc"fato'daager In '-order T m. 'mlithar be will succeed It is observed that of the gradu ates at Harverd this year, a larger number intend to follow mercantile I pursuits than any other avocation or profession. The fact is cited as nn evidence of the higher grade of cul ture which the business world is de manding, but jjrobably it means noth ing .more than that there are now a much larger number of merchants in the country who tan affords to give their sons a university education just for the pleasure of it and the social distinction it: confers. In 1901 the gifts to libraries for. books amounted to over 53,000,000. while those for buildings exceeded $S,000,000. Of course, Andrew Car negie, whose wealth was largely cre ated through the privileges created through protection, and other special legislation, was the largest donor. THE MAN OVER FIFTY. The name of Senator Pettus, of Al abama, is suggested by the Jlilwau kee "Wisconsin, as one that may be added to the list of these who dis sent from the dictum that the pres ent age has nothing for a man to do after he passes the meridian of life. He said to an interviewer the other day: "I am SI and happy and heal thy as a boy. I notice that all of my. neighbors who got rich and retired are dead. I never got rich and I never retired. I tell you, young man. the most fatal disease I know of is to quit work. It kills every time. Keep working and you'll keep alive." This is cheerful, sane and whole some. Enrico Dandolo was 72 years of age and blind when he was elect ed doge of Venice. He was 81, so modern historians say, when he plac ed himself at the head of the Fourth Crusade, conquered Zara and Con stantinople and changed the political geography of Europe. Byron, in a note to "Childe Harold," accepts the earlier statements, which represent ed Dandblo's age as 85 when elevat ed to the dogeship, and 97 at the talk ing of Constantinople, but In his stirring verse ho calls him an octo genarian: Oh, for one hour of blind old Dan dolo, Th' octogenarian chief, Byzantium's conquering foe! Before St Mark's still glow his steeds of brass. Their gilded -collars glittering in the sun. The brass horses on the west front of St Mark's were part of the" booty secured for Venice by the octogenar ian dOETfi whon Prmctnnllnnulo foil beneath his' victorious arms. One of the boasts of the nrosAnt age of the world Is that It Is an Jn which the science of sanitation has lengthened the average of human life.- Surely the venr.time whnn th are and are to be nam nlrf mon in the world than evefl"is'no time for the acceptance of the discouraging declaration that men munt rotlm from the world's activities at 45 or There was the righf-aort of spirit In old Dandolo; there Is the right sort of spirit in Senator Pettus, and there Is the right sort of spirit in a man signing himself "Fifty-five Years of Age and No Has-Been," who writes to the New York Mail and Ex press and says: "The real American of 50 by his family Bible Is sweet 16 in ginger, and Methuselah's senior in horse-sense. So don't drag down-1 any more almanacs and fix a ,Ue for smothering him." continuous. The essential feature of a real storage battery, .Mr. Edison explains, is that it must be a per fectly reversible instrument, receiv ing and giving out power like a dy namo motor, without any deteriorat ing of the mechanism of conversion. This condition is not met by the lead storage battery, which gradual ly becomes less and less efficient and in a few months wholly inoperative; but the nickel-iron storage cell, which has been evolved from Mr. Edison's experiments, and of which ho gives a most interesting description, re mains uninjured under any condition one can imagine, even In the hands of au export. The result of the in vention will be to make it practica ble for a large number of persons who cannot afford the luxury of a carringe to possess a serviceable pleasure vehicle which will be al wavs at their beck and call. "With an "initial outlay of ?700, the storage battery automobile can bo used at any time at the cost of a 50-cent charge, the cost being met as It is incurred. Mr. Edison predicts that automobile accidents, which occur so frequently at present, will soon be things of the past. "The French types of electric car riage come nearer to my ideas in strength and stability than any other models. This result has been attain, ed. of course, only by experience. At first I was inclined to the opinion that the French machines were ab normally heavy; but when I study out the concussions and strains to which they are subjected, my incli nation is to make the touring car riage even heavier still. It is sur prising to me that American builders have not more closely followed these French models, since experiments costing millions" must have been made to reach the present stage. "We hear of fewer accidents in France and Europe generally than in our own country, and they are fewer; in spite of heavy types of carriages.' One reason for this is Hhat in Eur-; ope "there are wider roads and less traffic; another Is that the public have been educated up to the situa- Rheumatism The liniment bottle and flannel strip are familiar objects in nearly every household. They are the weapons that have been used lor iterations to fight old Rheumatism, and are about as effective in the battle with this pant disease as the blunderbuss of our forefathers would be in modern warfare. Rheumatism is caused oy an nciu, &t! m condition of the blood. Jt is filled with acrid, irritating matter that settles in the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils nor nothing elseapplied externally can dislodge these :gnttyt corroding particles. They weredeoositcd there bv the blood andean be reached only through the blood. Pubbin- with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every chance of the weather; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system are infected.

The electric carriage of the fu ture, and of the near future, will in my opinion not only supersede other tvpes of automobiles, but it will be built and run on such practical lines that accidents will soon become things of the past Horse owners and drivers will educate their ani mals, as in old times they had to educate to the steam engine and later ;o the trolley car. The electric car riage will be practically noiseless and easilr stopped in an emergency. Above all. it will need no irresponsi ble chauffeur." Manager Gile, of the Willamette Valley Prune Association, reports the sale Wednesday of several cars of Italian prunes of the crop of 1902. The price to be paid is 5c for the 30-to-40 size in 25-pound bpxes. or a basis price of 2&C in bags. This is the first sale of the season so far as known.
