CAN AD I A N JEALOUS Y.
The ignorance of American
sentiment displayed by our cous
ins across our northern boundary
is amazing and inexcusable. A
Mr. Drummond who was a dele
gate from Montreal to a "Con
gress of Chambers of Commerce
of the Empire," recently held in
London, has been criticised some
what for offering a resolution in
favor of "Imperial preferential
trade" in which he referred to
the growth of trade between the
United States and Canada as a
danger which means our political
absorption of Canada.
The Standard, published at
Montreal, rushes to the defense
of Mr. Drummond, and says he
"had in mind the great number
of Americans coming into Wes
tern Canada, with American
ideas, without knowledge of, and
certainly without regard for
Canadian institutions."
The Standard then declares the
policy of annexation "is as dead
as Julius Caesar," but asserts
that "the Monroe doctrine of late
years has proved exceedingly ex
pansive," especially in South
America, and that "it might be
lound equally elastic along the
northern boundary line."
It might be that ' the Standard
mistakes the vaporings of a few
disgruntled Canadians living in
our border cities as expressive of
real American sentiment toward
Canada. The average American
is not giving much thought to
the destiny of Canada, and has
ho thought of acquiring it by any
means whatever. It is true that
in the event of war between
England and the United States
we might determine "to carry
the war into Africa," and this
certainly would have a powerful
influence on Canada's destiny.
But such a war is too improbable
to contemplate except by the
military student. The Ameri
canizing of Canada may, some
day, induce her to apply for ad
mission to the American Union,
but Uncle Sam is not offering his
sons any inducements to colonize
in Canada, so it is plain she is in no
danger, unless self-invited, from
this source,
The truth is that Canada is en
vious of our material growth and
too jealous to enter into better
trade relations with us. If she
would have the free trade rela
tions possessed by the states of
the Union she sees the way to
get them. If she prefers to
grope for commercial prosperity
through Colonial, or "Imperial
Preferential Trade," we are sat
isfied she shall. Many years ago
we repudiated that scheme as ap
plied to us. Possibly Canadians
will find similar reasons for re
pudiating it. When they do,
Canada's ultimate destiny will be
seen from a different viewpoint
- It may be, as the Standard
says, "the policy for Canadians
to keep a strict watch on the
United States and upon United
Stales' overtures to Canada,''
but we would assure it that no
American is losing sleep over the
ultimate destiny of Canada.
INSURANCE.
When a person insures his
property against fire he is en
titled to expect that the insur
ance money will hi promptly
paid on the occurrence of a fire
which causes him a loss. If
people were not justified in the
hope of at least a partial return
of the losses they ."-n '" a; the
result of a oi.li ..ij.i they
would not insure, 'in-i policy of
insurance from any point of view
is purely one of cold-blooded
business.
San Francisco sufferers are to
lose millions of dollars on account
of what they term repudiation on
the part of various insurance
companies doing business there
before the great catastrophe of
May 18- The companies refus
ing to pay justify their course
by pointing to what is termed
the ' 'earthquake clause. " All
the details are not made pub
lic and it is impossible to tell
how far the insurance companies
may be justified in their acts of
repudiation.
One thing is certain, the pub
lic will watch the adjustment of
insurance matters in San Fran
cisco with interest and should
profit by the outcome- All com
panies settling on an honorable
basis will receive public com
mendation in a large degree, but
those companies repudiating just
claims should be forever de
barred from business in the en
tire United States.
There seems small choice be
tween the repudiating companies
they are English, German and
American concerns. The aver
age American will feel no pride
in home companies that repudi
ate just obligations.

Riding wheels on the sidewalk at pres
ent is a violation of law, as everyone
know?, yet nearly every day there are
youths and men who ride on the walk
for a block or t'o as suits their conven
ience. What is fair for one is fair for
all, an 1 if one citizen h amenable to the
law all others who violate it shouU elso
pay the penalty. Tuis is a gentle hint,
and may save someone a fine, if heede 1

A fireman's hat, badly battered ind
worn, bearing an inscription that it had
done service in the S.n Francisco fire and
quake, passe i threugh the city yesterday
as a wanderer over the lines of the Wells I
Fargo Express Co. At every point the
express managers and agents had tagged
the wanderer, and one of the cards show
ed that the Giv-r-iv of California had
received it and that it was o.i its way tor
a visit to tha Governor of Oregon. The
hat will make the trip over the lines of
the company and finally will be taken
back to San Francisco where the fire de
partment will doubtless retain it as a
souvenir. Albany Herald. , ' '
SHE GOT B00ZE.
At Independence, 'and Could Not
Find Way Home.
It happened Wednesday even
ing, after the freight train arrived
from Independence. Someone
phoned Chief Lane that a drunk- -en
person was at the depot, and
that worthy officer hurried to the
scene to find, seated flat upon the
platform and supported by a tele
phone pole not a masculine tip
pler, but a female, so drunk that
she could not find her way to her
stopping place in this city. She j
is a transient, and when asked .
where she belonged replied with I
an oath that it was none of the
chief's business. Finally she!
mentioned her residence, and was 1
assisted to her feet and started :
homeward, but within a block ,
had lost her bearings and Chief
Lane and Nightwatchman Os
burn were forced to support her
on either side and promenade
several blocks to her destination.
The scene is said to have
been ludicrous in the extreme,
but one in which the officers at
the time saw no joke. A valise,
saturated with booze and with j
one end knocked out, was carried
by the wobbly damse', and odds
and ends of feminine belongings
were scattered here and there
along the street and were gath
ered up by the exasperated es
corts. A small hand satchel con
taining papers of various kinds
was also clutched in the hands
of the tipsy traveler, and as she
frequent! v "stubbed" her toe
and lunged forward the papers ;
were wafted on the breeze and
Chief Lane exhausted hi? supply
of patience several times in giv
ing chase. When Officer Os
burn remarked, disgustedly, that
jail was the proper place for such
persons, the female showed fight
and David wisely subsided into
silence for the remainder of the
stroll.
The booze, according to. the
woman's statement, was obtained
in Independence, and she claim
ed she had a gallon. She gave
Chief Lane a quart, but one
bottle had been broken. It is
said that the female created all
sorts of disturbance on the train
coming from Independence Wed
nesday evening.
George Langel, recently from Kan
sas, died at 8 a. m. yesterday at the Le-(
der home in this' city, aged about 35.:
Deceased was a single man. Relatives
in the East have been wired and the re,

instructions. . -

FENCE IN CAME WITH WIRE
Several State Preserves to Be Estab
lished in. the Forests of
Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg, Pa. The board of state
game commissioners of Pennsylvania
has decided to preserve game in this
state. The plan is to establish sev
eral state game preserves on land
owned by the state forestry depart
ment. These preserves are to be inclosed by
a fence with a single wire strung about
three feet from the ground high
enough for small game to pass "under
and low enough for deer to jump over.
Within these inclosures hunting will
be prohibited, not only in the regular
"close" seasons, but at all times, and
the state game wardens will be em
powered to enforce this regulation.
The last legislature appropriated
$6,000, which can be used for establish
ing the proposed single wire fences.
A commission composed of ex-State
Treasurer Frank G. Harris, of Clear
field; W. Heyward Myers, of Wil
liamsport, and Secretary Joseph Kalb
fus, of the state game commission,
will select the sites.
PEARL FROM THE WABASH.
Thousand-Dollar Gem Found in Mus
sel Shell Taken from
; That River.
Montezuma, Ind. Emory Moore, while
opening mussels to obtain bait for his
trotline, the other day, found a pearl
valued by experts at about $1,000. This
is the second pearl found in the Wabash
here within the last two months,
of near the same value, the latter, how
ever, being a much finer specimen than
the former. Pearl hunters are becom
ing numerous at this place. A Wabash
river pearl that is sold here for from
$100 to $200, will sell for $1,000 to $1,500
by the time it reaches Paris, which is
the best market. The majority of the
pearl hunters here, not knowing the
real value of such gems, sell them for
what they are offered. The Wabash
pearls are considered the finest of the
fresh water pearls.
Sexton Mistook Day. .
The inhabitants of Middlesex, Mass.,
were alarmed the other morning by
the ringing of the church bell. Leav
ing their work, they seized pails and
started, thinking that an alarm of fire
was being rung. Investigation proved
that the sexton had mistaken the day,
and supposed that he was ringing the
bell for the Sunday morning service.
Rev P. A. Moses, of this city, should

combined crop weighed fourteen and a
