Wheat today delivered by the rail
roads at the cheap port of Astoria,
right on the seacoat, and from three
to seyeo days closer sail to the markets
of Europe and the Orient, would bring
60 to 65 cents a . bushel. With the
(Treat free port of Astoria established
as a common point, the 'quantity f
wheat deliverd here in the course of a
few years, perhaps one year, would
make Astoria the greatest wheat mar
ket on the Pacific const. The publica
tion abroad of the fact, long looked for
by foreign Brno-owners ana masters,
that wheat can be obtained at the
mouth of the Columbia river, where
vessels may be unloaded unvexed by
towage and port charges; where no
delays need occur; where the hatches
may be battened down and the ship
reach the open sea to take advantage
of the most favorable weather within
... one hour after loading is completed,
would bring such a fleet to the Colum
bia every year that natural competi
tion - would reduce, charter rates to
lantic coast; from 'all the principal
- ports of which wheat is carried to
Liverpool for $1.66 a ton.
Then-why do not the wheat produc
an nf t.htK Intarinr fnrf.A the railroads
to give them the option of shipping
their wheat to Astoria at the same
; rate charged to the more distant and
expensive ports on Puget Sound?
Why do not the newspapers of the
Interior take up this question and
show th6 facts as to the discrimination
of the transportation companies, and
the reasons for it, to their farmer
readers? Daily Astorian.
Since thelAstorlan has been so free
to ask questions of the up country
press, we desire to ask some questions
of it. Suppose the producers of the
interior were to force the railroads to
give the same rate on their wheat to
Astoria as given to the Sound or even
to Portland, what would they do with
' it. attar t.hnv on it thnm? Would thev
pile it on the beach to be exposed to
the elements until some ship came
along to carry it away? What facill-
' .1 I A .. . I - AH K.knnlQ
Is there a warehouse, dock or elevator
there capable of taking in 1,000,000
bushels of wheat? Are there any
facilities whatever for handling the
grain output of the Inland Empire
amounting to some io,vw,wv to au,
000.000 bushels? Does Astoria exnect
the farmers of the interior to go there
with their wheat and furnish storage
facilities too? Does it expect up
country papers to advise farmers to
ship their products to a port where'
there are no facilities for handling
" them?
It cannot be denied that Astoria has
the best harbor on the coast outside of
San Francisco, but it also has a lot of
mossbaoks that appear to want the
nnnnla of the interior to do for them
what they should do themselves,
Stnce-the AstoriaD has seen fit to tell
us what we should do, we consider it
would not be illadyised to tell the
Astorian what to do, or at least to
ask it a few more questions. First of all
when you gave Mr. Hammond your
railroad to Seaside and donated him
. a liberal portion of your water front,
why did you not stipulate as a part of
the consideration that hi" railroad
should make connections with other
roads whereby Astoria would be made
a common point? Why, when you
were giving so much away didn't you
get something in return? Why didn't
you display a little business sense
when it was in your power tq secure
concessions? And now that you have
neglected to help yourself when you
had an opportunity, why don't you
advise your people to erect docks,
warehouses and elevators capable of
handling the wheat of the Inland
. Empire if it were offered you? After
this is accomplished why don't you
. induce wheat buyers to make Astoria
their headquarters and send repre8ta
tives out over the interior to purchase
grain direct from the farmers and pay
a few cents more a bushel for wheat in
Astoria than can be paid by Portland
and Sound buyers? Why don't you
demonstrate that there is truth in
what you state about Astoria beiLg
the highest wheat market on the
North Pacific coast? In short, why
don't von quit grumbling at others
and do something for yourself?
Astoria will have an opportunity to
handle the wheat of the Inland Empire
next year, without consulting rail
roads or securing "common point"
rates from them. Tbe Columbia river
will be open to navigation, that is a
portage road will be constructed
around the only obstruction between
Priest Rapids on the Columbia and
Lewiston on tbe Snake river to the
sea. More than half the wheat raised
In the Inland Empire is within reach
of those rivers and will find its way
to Astoria if better prices prevail
there, than elsewhere and there are
facilities provided for handling it after
it reaches that port. Astoria has an
opportunity to become the greatest ;
wheat market in the Northwest, but
it cannot accomplish this by grumb
ling at its would be patrons. It can
help its cause by encouraging the
building of more boats on the river,
giye them free dockage, and then
build warehouses so that it can handle
the grain. If Astoria will help itself,
it will amount to something.
in tbe Northwest, because it is the
greatest wool market in tbe country,
and besides it has every other natural
advantage in the way -of cheap fuel,
favorable sites for factories, and low
living expenses. .
To give the people of The Dalles an
idea of what advantages a woolen mill
would be to the place, we have ascer
tained from one of the mills that is
operating in this state figures as to
tbe number of bands employed and
the daily expenses of a three-set mill.
This mill Is employing 125 hands, aod
the average daily wages and expenses
are $200, that Is toe milling company
pays out to laborers and for wood and
material 8200 every working day of the
year. Further estimates of tbe ex
penses of a six-set mill are that the
dally expenses would be about $425,
It should require no argument to con
vince Dalles property owners and
business men of the stimulus such an
establishment woulc" be to trade, for
$127,500 paid out annually here for sup-
plies and in wages to 250 laboring
people would make a vast difference in
business some may argue that a
woolen mill is not advantageous be
cause the wages paid operatives are
low. Tbla, however, is a mistaken
idea. Men and women who are em
ployed in such concerns at low wages
spend the greater portion of their
salaries for the necessaries of life,
therefore $200 poople working at $1 to
$1.50 a day are more benefit to a place
than 50 persons drawing wages that in
the aggregate wonld amount to the
wages of 200. It, of course, is desirable
that industries be started here that
will pay high wages, but they are not
absolutely necessary to the prosperity
of tbe town. An iudustry that will
employ 200 or 250 people at an average
wage of tl a day would be a great
benefit to every business enterprise in
Tbe Dalles A two-set woolen mill
would do this, and we believe it is just
the thing that is needed here.
FOOLS WILL B11E
The desire of tbe human race to eet
somethlhg for nothing enables profes
sional gamblers to live, maks it pos
sible for "bucket shops' to exist, Is
the "incentive that causes honest old
farmers to buy "gold" brick and leads
people to invest their savings 'in such
concerns as w bite's bureau, a "get
rich-quick" institution that has just
gone to pieces in New lork and
victimized credulous depositors to the
amount of $200,000. After the failure
of the Franklin syndicate, :'a similar
concern that swindled its customers
out of large sums of money, it would
seem that people would have been
suspicious of the new venture when it
issued flashing advertisements insur
ing immense profits to depositors. But
there were plenty of fools to bite at
tbe flasby scheme for making money.
Like the Franklin syndicate it man
aged Its business withoutany inquiries
being made by the police. It had ao
counts in several down-town banks,
and drafts from its 'Customers passsed
through the banks without any ques
tions being asked, except in the in
stance of one bank. Like the Frank
lin syndicate, it paid out "dividends"
to depositors, presumably from the
money placed on deposit. Finally,
like the Franklin syndicate, Its backers
took alarm and disappeared with a
large quantity of other people's money.
White's bureau was operated by two
young men who went under the name
of Hynman. One of them gave the
name of H. C. Hynman, and he is un
derstood to have been the "C. H.
White," whose bureau the concern
purported to be. Tbe bureau began
business in the latter part of Septem
ber. It sublet two rooms from an
other tenant on the first floor. The
offices are very handsomely furnished
and ere partitioned off tin to smaller
rooms. ' Many typewriters were em
ployed, and when the business was
first established an enormous quantity
of letters and circulars was sent forth.
The firm inserted advertisements in
newspapers all over the country, prom
ising that White's bureau would make
money for anybody who would send
his cash to New York. The advertis3
ment was as alluring as green-goods
circulars. These circulars and ad
vertisements soon began to have tbe
usual effect. Letters began to come
in from all over the country. Tbe
mail of tbe bureau grew to such pro
portions that tbe suspicions of the su
perintendent of the Cotton Exchange
building became aroused and he says
be made an investigation. He could
not find out anything about the busy
young man except that he professed to
be doing a general investment busi
ness, 80 they xere permitted to re
main. The bureau went on, and tbe
suspicions of nobody seemed likely to
cause trouble. But finally New York
banks who were receiving White's
drafts became Buspiclous, and an in
vestigation was made. . This resulted
in the thedisapoearnce of manager
with tbe funds of the concern, and the
deluded depositors were short the
amount of their investments, and they
are scattered from one corner of tbe
country to the other. Tbe loss Is the
result of the desire to get something
for nothing, and the victims who bit
at the scheme are - entitled to no
sympathy. . '
ENGLAND'S DETERMINATION,
For a century past Great Britain has
been looked upon as tbe master of the
sea and land. Not since the American
colonies declared their independeuce
has one of her dependencies success
fully combatted ber iron determina
tion or been able to resist her ambition
to subdue. Tbe iron will of tbe Ed
glish is unbending, and when the nation
once sets out to subdue a people It gen
erally accomplishes Its cud. That it will
be successful in the present war asainsv
the Boers cannot be doubted by tbe
most enthusiastic friend of tbe South
African republics. However Great
Britian Is putting into this war the
largest army she"has ever sent abroad,
which Is evidenc ithat the government
recognizes that tie Boers are tbe most
stubborn opponents with which it has
had to contend. At Waterloo the Brit
ish forces numbered only 24,000, and
in the Crimean war her army was 26,000
strong. In tbe Egyptian campaign
Great Britian mustered an army of
30.000 and in the Penensula war sbe
had a similar number. But when
General Buller's army has assembled
in South Africa it will number 70,000
fighting men.
This vast army is sent against the
two little South African republics,
Transvaal and Orange Fi-ee State, with
a combined population of less than
1,000,000. And for wbat purpose is
G-eat Britain wagiDg this war and
sending forth the most magnificent
army she has ever mobilized? Simply
to ride rough shod oyer a people who
asked only to be left alone and to be
permitted to manage their own affairs.
She has determined to possess tbe
gold mines of tbe Transvaal and the
diamond fields of the Orange Free state,
and that English determination will
not be thwarted. Sbe offers as an ex
cuse that ber subjects were not fairly
treated by the Boers, in that they
were not granted the right of buffrags
without reuouncing their allegiance to
the British crown. She further coral
plained that the Transvaal government
imposed a heavy tax on dynamite, a
commodity necessary in tbe working
of tbe mines owned by English capital
ists. This consisted in giving one firm,
who submitted to a heavy tax imposed
by tbe government control of the
dy .amite trade in the republic. Briefly
summed up Great Britain is putting
into tbe field 70,000 of ber best soldiers
simply to further the interests of a few
avaricious mining syndicate?.

and that tbe country will have fastened
upon it a financial system dictated bv

ilk.
NOTES.
WHEAT AND TARIFF.
Wheat has dropped to the ' gold
standard level of 37-cents in the wheat
producing country, and tbe farmers
will have to wear overalls on Sunday.
They will not be new overalls, as here
tofore, on account of the beautiful
tariff on jute. The sacks cost 9 cents
now. instead of 5 cents. Jute was on
tbe free list under the Wilson bill.
Tbe farmer's wheat, shipped to
foreign markets, is "protected" twenty
five cents a bushel, lie knows such
"protection" is valueless, and was ' put
in the tariff bill with the intent to de
ceive him. It is different though
with the sacks. They must Day the
duty before entry to the country is al
lowed. Our tariff and gold standard
laws were not made for the benefit of
the farmers. Eugene Guard.
A MOST VICIOUS MEASURE.
THANKSG1 VING.
WHAT WE NEED.
People of The Dalles are displaying
commendable enterprise in prosecut
ing coal prospects and in the effort
being put forth to build a railroad
into the interior, bat while they are
thus engaged in starting enterprises
that will certainly, result beneficially
to tbe town, they should not overlook
the advantage to be gained from tbe
tartfng of manufacturing industries
The needs of manufacturing in The
Dalles, and the stimulus concerns em
ploying large -numbers of operatives
would be to business in the city have
frequently been referred to in these
columns, and it has been our hope to
see the people of the town, who own
property, offer inducements that would
bring capital here to invest in manu
facturing. It baa ever beeo our belief
that Tbe Dalles was better located for
woolen factories than any other place
It is certainly well that all people
lay aside their business cares for one
day, and devote 24 hours to giving
thanks to an all wUe and benevolent
Providence for the bounties with which
they are blessed. This custom is cot
generally observed throughout the
world, but in this great republic it has
been practiced in a geueral way ever
since the days of the Pilgrim Fathers,
and for the past quarter of a century
Thanksgiving has been universally
observed throughout the United States.
By. some it is observed only as a holi
day, when business is suspended and
temporal affairs are discarded, while
by others it is given over to relio-ious
ceremonies and the returning of thanks
to the Creator. Perhaps the most ap
propriate observance of tbe day is that
practiced by tbe charitable people who
devote it to deeds of kindness and min
istering to the wants of the needy, by
bestowing charity upon those who
are unfortunate and upon whom boun
ties are not lavished. On Thanks
giving day in this broad land of plenty
there should be no want or hunger.
Everybody should be fed, and it should
be tbe aim of charitable people to see
that at least one good meal be served
to every man, women and child in tbe
land. By so doing they merit com
mendation, and will give the needy
cause to be thankful.
The creation of such a large volume
of trust securities to represent prroper
ty that formerly made no demands up
on the money market may test the
gold standard severely at no distant
day, notwithstanding the increased
production of that metal.
The financial bill prepared by the
republican caucus, which met at At
lantic City, and which will be ode of
tbe first to be introduced in congress!
is the most vicious financial legislation
that has ever been proposed in this
country. It not only fastens the gold
standard irrevocably upon the nation
but places tbe power of making money
scarce or plentiful in tbe hands of
national banks, and empowers the
secretary of the treasury to go into the
markets wherever he sees fit and buy
gold on interest bearing bond.
This abominable measure provides
first that the standard unit of value
shall be the dollar consisting of 25.8
grains of gold, nine-tenths fine,or 23.22
grains of pure gold. It then provides
that all Interest-bearing obligations
of tbe United States now existing or
hereafter to be entered into, and all
United . States notes and treasury
notes issued under the law of July 14,
1890, shall be deemed and held to be
payable in gold coin of the United
States. Not satisfied with maklner
government obligations payable, in
nothing but gold coin it provides that
the payment of all private obligations,
no matter what the contract, shall be
in gold by saying "and all other obli
gations, public and private, for the
payment of money, shall be performed
in conformity with the standard estab
lished in this act."
Sectiou 4 of the bill provides for the
operation of the "endless chain" and
tbe forced issue of interest-bearing
bonds whenever money holders shall
find it more profitable to loan their
money to the government than to in
vest It in priyate enterprise. It says:
"It shall be the- duty of the secre
tary of the treasury to maintain tbe
gold, reserve fund taken up on the
books of tbe division of issue and re
demption, as herein provided, and for
this purpose be may from time to time
transfer to such fund any moneys in
the treasury nolotberwise appropriated
or may exchange any of the funds in
division of issue and redemption for
other funds which may be in tbe gen
eral fund of the treasury, and in ad
dition thereto is hereby authorized to
issue and sell, whenever io his judg
ment it is necessary to the maintenance
of said reserve T fund, bonds of the
United States bearing interest at a
rate not exceeding 3 per cent per an
num, payable in gold coin at the end
of 20 years, but redeemable in gold
coin at the option of the United States
after one year." It then goes on to
sa.:- "That all United States notes
issued under the act of luly 14, 1890,
presented for redemption shall be re
deemed in accordance with existing
law."
Tbat portion of the bill referring to
tho issuance of credit currency places
it entirely in the hands of national
banks, secured by interest bearing
government, bonds, and permits tbe
secretary of tbe treasury to redeem or
accept such notes. The tax on bank
circulation reduced-to one-tenth of one
per cent.
That this bill will be rushed through
congress is quite evident, for the party
in power will take no chances on the
election of 1900 which may deprive
them of a president, and if once this
measure is placed upon the statue
books it will stay there nntil the 'op
position can get control of tbe senate,
which cannot be accomplished inside
of six years. The gold standard party
has a majority in tbe house favorable
to this measure, and it will likely be
passed with but little opposition, and
in tbe senate republicans who are not
avorable to it will be whipped into
line. It will not be surprising If this

Thanksgiving was a quiet day In
The Dalles. Stores were closed and
business men generally spent the day
at home with their families, eojoying
good dinners and entertaining friends.
Heigh ho, the bankers are in the
saddle, and silver is to receive its
death blow, greenbacks are to be re
tired, bonds are to be issued on de
mand, bank notes and gold are to be
the only money, and the devil will be
to pavl The people should get tbe
pitch red hot by next November.
A coal mine, a railroad leading into
the Interior and a woolen mill are
three possibilities for The Dalles with
in the next twelve months. When
we get these the city will begin to
grow and prosper, every house will
have a tenant, and everybody will
be doiDg a good business. Let all who
have interests here work for thee e
three possibilities. -
Some poor idiots declare tbat Mark

The gold combination is not much
disturbed over the result of the recent
elections. It fears Bryan's candidacy
and has a?ain become active In demo

Chicago platform and Bryan must be
on tbe alert everywhere, as tbe gold
combination may try to get in its
work in places where they would be
least suspected of so doing.
That house g'.ven Admiral Dewey is
causing him more sorrow than any
thing he ever had. " Because he gave
it to bis wife and she in turn gave it
to his son George, tbe donors raised a
howl and now Dewey wishes that he
had stuck f his determination tore
fuse the gift. However, since some of
the ' ors object to tbe disposition be
has - n fit to make of the home, the
admiral announces tbat he will refund
the amount any one. subscribed if
called upon to do so.
The Pendleton Tribune and La
Grande Advocate are tbe only papers
that have come under our observation
tbat undertake, to justify Governor
Geer's silence regarding tbe Plummer
affair. They insist it would be beneath
the governor's dignity to deny the ac
cusation that he bargained to sell an
appointment. It's the first time we
had known that the governor was too
dignified to repell an attack upon his
good name. We are glad the up
country papers have enlightened us.
It ia not to be wondered at tbat
Albert M. Dewey, special agent of tbe
government department of labor, is
favorable to trusts. He - Is the a'p
polnte of a trust administration and is
asrcialist besides, and since socialism
in its theory is nothing but a great.
big trust, be could not very consistent
ly condemn the industrial combines.
It is probable, however, that Mr.
Dewey is sent out disguised as a labor
representative, while be is in fact
working in tbe interests of tbe trusts.
It would be a relief if those. who
contributed to the Dewey home fund
would cease their howl about the dis
position he has made of tbe property.
While Dewey did not raise himself ' In
tbe estimation of the public when he
accepted tbe gift, and he was in
discrete in giving it away asihe did,
the people who forced it upon him are
the last ones who should complain
They did a foolish thing iu giving him
the home, but they made the donation
and he was at liberty to dispose of it
as he saw fit.
The Salem Sentinel is wrong in as
serting that H. R. ' Plummer, who
claims to have paid Governor T. T.
Geer $1,000 for appointment as super
intendent of tbe penitentiary, should
bring suit for tbe office. Plummer
also asserts that he released the gover
nor from tbe contract upon receipt of
$2,000. If Plummer lies, Governor
Geer should prosecute him criminally,
if he tells the truth, and tbere seems
to be no denial, Mr. Geer should step
down and out, and the state house
should be fumigated.
One' cannot butt feel pity for tbe
ignorance displayed by some of the
republican editors who are pointing
to tbe Ohio election as a great victory
and gloating over the fact tbat Nash
carried the state by 50,000 plurality,
and citing this as a rebuke to democ
racy. The fact is Nash's total vote is
less than any republican candidate for
governor has received since 1890. He
received 50,000 fewer votes than did
Governor Bushnell in 1897. If some
republican editors would study elect
ion returns a little closer they would
not make such errors.
The Philippine Insurrection as it is
called, but in reality a struggle for
independence, is virtually crushed,
for Aguinaldo and his followers can not
much longer hold out against over
whelming forces.. The Filipinos are
whipped in Luzon, but there are
thousands of other islands to subdue,
and tbe present administration will
erid long before peace throughout tbe
archipelago is established. The little
army of 65,000 men we have down
there, tbat is costing us half a million
dollars a day, wlli find plenty of work
to do before all the Islanders bend the
keee to American supremacy. In fact
if we propose to hold the island in
definitely , we will find it necessary to
garrisou all of them with blue coats,
and tbe army we "nave tbere now will
be found inadequate to tbe undertak
ing. If we hold the islands with an
army of less than $100,000 men ..we will
do exceedingly well.
There never was iu the United
States a more vindictive, narrow-
minded, phariaeeical.'bypocrltlcal pub

such distinguished Americans as
Horace Greeley, General Hancock,
James G. Blaine and Wm. J. Bryan.

the publishers are now "embarrassed"
to the tune of $5,500,000, of which tbe
sum of $3,500,000 is due to the stock

Occasionally some advocate of a
large standing army for this country
bobbs up witb tbe awful supposition
that if we should find ourselves con
fronted with a war with some power
ful European nation we would be un
prepared to meet it because our regu
lar army is so sma l. Such alarmists
should observe tbe difficulty Great
Britain is meeting witb in mobilizing
an army of 70,000 men in South Africa,
and then contemplate how long It
would take ber to get an army of 200,
000 or 300,000 men across tbe Atlantic
to invade the United States. In such
an event we would certainly have
plenty of time to organize a volunteer
army that would bid defiance to the
world. The alarmist who clamors for
a big standing army noes -not fear
European invasion, but wants it for
the purpose of coercing Americacs to
put on the yoke of corporate greed as
represented by Hanna and bis follow
ers. Tbe advocate of an immense
standing army in this country is a tool
of the power tbat would oppress the
common people at the point of tbe
bayonet.

WANTED TOO MUCH.
tm t Girl Who Did Hot Cae to
Fill the Place of
I a Wife. (;.- '
The hired girl out of a job cast her
eagle eye over the want notices of the
newspaper. "Wanted, wanted, want
ed," she read in one or two line ads
straight down the column, shaking her
head at intervals, as if disappointed in
her search. Finally her face lightened
as she saw a leaded notice in another
column of more pretensions than its
fellows, says the Washington Star.
She turned to it and read it eagerly.
Then she threw the paper from her. -
"What's the matter?" asked the girl
with her.
"Read that," and she gathered up the
sheet and handed it over to the other
one, who read this notice:
"Wanted A young and strong wom
an of good disposition and habits, obedi
ent and knowing her place, willing and
ready, active and efficient, to cook,
wash and iron, do general housework
and take care of children; evenings and
afternoons off when possible. Apply,
with references, etc., etc."
"Well?" said the reader.
"It's not well, at all," responded the
one looking for work. "That man,
whoever he is, is advertising for a wife,
I should say from the advertisement,
and I'm not looking, for that kind of
a job. Just a plain hired girl's place

brides take a great deal of pride in
fLeir bridesmaids' costumes and want
them to show to the best advantage.
It ia very important that a brides
maid should walk well. The a adding
marches are more suited to grand opera
stages than church aisles, and while
Elsa's or Lucia's attendants can walk
in gracefully to such music, the most
graceful of girls is apt to sway and fal
ter trying to keep time and step with
the same strains. I've watched bridal
processions and I've seen radiantly
pretty girls lose all effect of their good
looks by a hobbling walk. A brides
maid should glide, not limp or hop.
The beauty of a faultless frock and the
stateliness of a picture hat vanish when
the wearer is awkward and obviously
ill at ease. The bride herself is helped
by her long train, her drooping head
and the leaning on- her father's arm be
fore and on her husband's after the cer
emony, but the bridesmaid wears a
short gown, carries her head erect,
walks up and down beside another
girl, and so has her own grace alone
to depend upon. A girl who walks well,
-whose head is well-poised on her shoul
ders and whose hair arranges well
makes a rood aDDearance as a brides
maid, and well, all mine are like that."

COWARDLY SPANIARDS.
The Dlsvicahle Conduct of the Vta-
eara's Crew at the Battle
of Santlaso. .
The contrast between the two nations
stands out very clearly in connection
with the Vizcaya, says Ira Nelson Hollis
in the Atlantic. The torpedo boat Erics
son ran close alongside of her, and sent
a small boat to take off all tbat were
alive of her crew. A few boats from the
Iowa assisted. The Vizcaya was on fire
fore and aft; the ammunition on board
was exploding, and the guns that had
been left loaded were going off one after
another in the intense heat, to say noth
ing of the proximity of the shore. The
position of the little craft has been de
scribed as perilous in the extreme. Our
men risked their lives repeatedly to
help their fallen enemy; but no sooner
were the Spaniards transferred to the
deck of the Ericsson than they urged
immediate withdrawal without regard
to their comrades who had been left
behind. To the honor of our navy,
Lieut. Ushur remained nntil every liv
ing being bad been rescued from the
burning ship. A similar scene was en
acted around the two torpedo boat de
stroyers. It was a case of mad panic
on the one side, and of perfect coolness
on the other. One officer of the Viz
caya afterward stated on board the
Iowa that they were obliged to close the
gun ports on the disengaged side of the
ship, to prevent the men from jumping
overboard rather than face the Ameri
can gun fire.

peanut roasters of black iron,
such as are commonly seen in the city
streets, are likely to have a capacity of
20 quarts. Such roasters are sold in,
sizes ranging from ten to twenty-eight
quarts. Peanut roasters are made to
hold three bushels, which makes a
roaster as big as a barrel. Such a pea
nut roaster would be set up at a public
resort at the seashore, or perhaps at
fairs, says the New York Sun.
There are combined peanut roasters
and warmers made in various sizes, the
warmer having glass sides and, a hot
water reservoir below. . Separate pea
nut warmers are made of various ma
terials or combinations of materials,
including tin, iron, steel and copper,
and they are made in a variety of shapes
and sizes, and equipped for heating by
charcoal or oil.
There is an automatic roaster of
which the cylinder is turned by a small
steam engine -attached to the crank,
which serves to attract attention, and
is oftenest seen at the seashore and
other places of resort. The most elab
orate and costly peanut outfit is the
peanut wagon, which is equipped with
a roaster and a warmer and is drawn by
a horse.
There are more peanut roasters sold
now than ever. Indeed, thousands are
sold annually. They are used all over
the country, and in other countries,
too, for people eat peanuts pretty much
everywhere nowadays.
COSTA RICA BANANAS.
Delicious Fruit Comes from the West
Indian Island Crop the Whole
Tear Round.
"The best bananas grown in the
world come from Port Limon, Costa.
Rica," said a New Orleans man to a
Washington Post reporter. .
"They are shipped from Port Limon,
and the country grower gets about 30
cents per bunch in gold. He is noti
fied by wire from the seaport when to
cut, and has two days in which to gather
and deliver to the railway. Trains com
posed of well-ventilated cars take the
fruit to a fast steamer, which is wait
ing' to convey it abroad. The bunches
will average about 14 hands each and
each hand has from 17 to 18 bananas.
When the bunch gets to New Orleans or
New York they are worth about four
dollars each, a tremendous advance over
the price paid the Costa Sican pro
ducer.
"The planter, however, is surer of a
safe profit than any other person hand
ling the fruit. Jamaica negroes do all
the labor attendant on the planting-.
culture and cutting, being better adapt
ed to the work than the native peon.
Jamaica bananas often make a finer
appearance, but are not so prolific as the
Jfort Limon product. The best planta
tions of Costa Kica are subject to over
flow and the waters deposit a silt that
greatly enriches the soil. Crops are
ready for cutting the whole year
round."
The Low-Lived Monarols Are as Cun
ning" as Foxes and as Cow
ardly as Wolves.
They are a queer crowd, these coolies,
whether on land or sea, says the Lud
gute Magazine. Cunning as foxes and
cowardly as wolves, they resemble the
pariah dogs of their own cities in point
of inability to hunt any prey save in
packs. I heard of an instance where
a gang of them, employed as navvies -in
the cutting of a railway, killed their
overseer with shovels and lied into the
bush. Nobody was ever hanged for the
!. crime, (because some 40 of them were in
i jt and; that vould have been rather a
large consignment to condemn, even
in the far east, where human life is so
cheap. . . j
There are 250,000 Chinese m Bang
kok alone, and they do not appeal to
one's cordial emotions very much the
contrary. And should this catch the
eye of any intending visitor to the far
east, I . would urge upon him the un
wisdom of venturing to spend a night
on a Chinese junk without so much as
a revolver to defend himself with. Oc
casionally ti K-ct. pe.in la ilujcovered by

it is highly probable that he had been
foolhardy, as I was. But different peo

Chinese contempt of the European it
frequently justified by facts.

The jack Tahbits of southern CaH
fornia are the biggest rabbits in exist-
nce. They are as fleet as the wind,
. -and one will sit still on its form or by
the roadside nntil you have almost
.grabbed it by its mule-like ears, but be
fore you can dose your fingers on it
there will be no rabbit there. If you
look, say 40 yards ahead, you will see
wbatyouthinkisanother rabbi t.humped
up in a fluffy bunch, waiting for
you in the same way. But it won't
be another rabbit. It will be the same
one, it having covered all that dis
tance and settled down again before
70U have hardly missed it from where
it sat first.
These big rabbits are as swift and
sudden as the fleas that swarm on them
as soon as summer comes. The rabbits
;are fat . then, but these fleas are so
thick on them, and are so ravenous that
"they actually reduce ' the - long-eared
"four-footed jumper to a skeleton by
-the time the 'fall rain sets in. If il
"wasn't for those regular fall rains the
:fieaa would be of great service to us
fin destroying the rabbit pest, for tbe
a-abbits could not withstand the
Assaults of their Insatiable parasites
:many days longer. But the rains are
certain, and they are fatal to the fleas.

Wsdlrseted Effort Means m Constant
Loss to Those Needing Aid
Some Instances.
What takes much away from the
strength of charitable work followed
by the leisure classes is the woeful
misunderstanding of the needs of the
people whom they would1 help. For
instance, recently a body of intelligent
New York women formed themselves
into an association "to give practical
.help to farmers' -wives in isolated
places." The idea was, of course, an
excellent one; the field exists for ben-
ef "Aal work, but what were the means
oi "prcctict ' help" devised? To "fur
nish looms, spinning-wheels and knit
ting-needles, with proper instructions,"
to farmers' wives so that they might
learn how to make lovely embroidery,
which would "command high prices in
the large cities!" Almost on the same
day a company of wealthy Ohio wom
en formed an organization for "the
better understanding of the higher
moral laws by the domestics in our
homes 1" A Chicago organization, just
formed, declares for its purpose the
providing of "clean and elevating even
ing amusements for the girls and sales
women of our large stores." All these
charities are seriously entered upon.
are well-intentioned, but they show a
pitiable ignorance of needed reforms.
Our farmers' wives are not sitting up
nights looking for something to do.
God knows they need no further bur
dens, no more "industries;" their need
is for more rest, for more forms of
recreation, which means cessation
from labor. Our servants do not stand
in need of a higher morality as much
as they do of more practical knowl
edge of their work and more considV
eration at the hands of their mis
tresses. Our shopgirls and saleswomen
are not clamoring for "clean and) ele
vating evening amusements" so much
as that women- shall shop a little more
intelligently and systematically. Ed
