MENELEK AGAINST SLAVERY
Ab)-Mtnln Kins Korbidn Hli Peopl
to Mukw Slaves the Gali
Native.
A few weeks ago King Menelek of
Abyssinia is?ued a decree against the
slave trade. It is couched in the lan
guage of potentates who have unlini'
itod power to enforce laws of their
own making. The king says:
"By a letter forwarded some time
ago to all the provinces. 1 forbade traffic
in men of the Gaiia. tribe. I also inti
mated that thoe sruilty of this offense
would be excommunicated from the
Christian Church of Abyssinia, but you
refuse to cease making slaves of the
Galla men.
"Now btware. You who are taken in
the act of enslaving the Gallas will no
longer, as heretofore, be fined or turned
out of thb church: but you will be pun
ished in your own persons, by which
I mean you will be subjected to the
penalty of mutilation."
This, rt-rrnrks the New York Sun
is cenainly one of the most dras
tic meapurcs yet taken against slave
trading in Africa. The Galias are a fine
trio . widJv spread over the country
south of Abyssinia. A large part of
their Urrkory, by agreement between
Menelek and Great Britain, now lies
within the king's domain.
The Abyspiniar.s. wi' h their guns and
superior military skill, have regarded
Gallalard their poaching ground and
have Inflicted great hardship upon the
natives, whom they robbed frequently,
not only of their produce, but also of
their liberty.
The evil has been increasing. Abys
sinians have seemed to think that the
easiest way to acquire wealth was to
make a raid in Gallaland and carry
home a few scores of natives t0 sfll as
slaves. The crirnfs committed against
this superior' tribe have been the scan
dal of Mi ::' !.'? reign. The Gallas
have bten powerless to make effective
defense, though they have lost no op
portunity i f spearing individual Abys
ainians or t-ry small parties and speed
ily decamping to avoid detection.
Yeurf vo the Ar&bs were wont to in
vade the Galla country and take hun
dreds of the nr.tivf s into slave ry. In re
cent y-ars. however, the Abyssinians
h ave h;,:,!i tV;- c 1 v oppressors.
The injustice d'-ne thorn has been
the more r-itifui because as agricultur
ists and h. .",'smen and in the industrial
arts thev nre more advanced than any
other paean peop'e in that, part of
Africa.. They ar- famo"? f"r fidelity

TOMATOES IN WINTER.
In 1'entmyl vnni.i Thef Ar Rnled to
' J"'rfctiou I'nder fl:i mid at
Good Profit.
"The tomato season is nearly over,"
said a "Washington market dealer, apol
ogising for the poor quality of his to
matoes, say, the New York Time.
"But it's just beginning in Philadel
phia." said the customer.
"1 always heard they were slow down
'be-re," replied the dealer, resurrecting
the moth-eaten joke.
"Slow in some things." said the for
mer PhiladelphiHn. "but able to show
New York a thing or two in tomatoes.
Down tli ere only the poor people eat
';matO"S in summer. Then about
Thanksgiving day the cre n houses of
Chesttr and Delaware counties begin
to produce tomatoes such as you sel
dom ee in this market.
"They are fine, smooth, perfectly
r ironed, and without any core. They
are raised under glass, with scientific
care of the vines, all tho suportluous
leaves being plucked off so as to put
all the strength of the stalk into the
fruit.
"Only two vines are allowed to grow
from a single root, and they are sup
ported on trellises. The vines last
about six months, and sometimes reach
,1 length of 40 or 50 feet and become
.i thick as grapevines. Branches are
plucked off, and they are kept bare of
leave? back of the point at which tho
fruit is forming.
"The earth around the r-ots is re
newed from tinej to time, and the vines
ue so trained ti.a? the fru.t is txposed
to the s :n. Tho result is the produc
tion of tomatoes such as you don't
dream of here in New York, and the
supply is kept up until .Inn, when the
outdoor crop begins to come in, and
eople who appr-'-iate really fine to
matoes stop canm; th'-m.
"Every day from November to June
tfiese tomatoes come in car loads to
the Philadelphia markets, and they are
all dispo.s--d of there at mcxlerate
prbes. Twenty (enti a pound is the
prevaibntr cost.
"These tomato-s never rach your

best hotels and restaurants buy them

VALUE OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Prodigious Amount of Money Invest
ed in Agriculture in the
United States.
If the average city man were asked
how he thought the price of domestic
animals in the United States compared
with the market values a year ago, he
would doubtless think first of the cost
of meat. Then, says the Cleveland
Leader, he would remember that auto
mobiles were much more in evidence
than they were 12 months back in the
history of the motor carriage business.
He could not be expected to have more
than dim and uncertain notions of the
price of sheep, which is greatly affected
by the market for wool.
So the average town-dweller would
be likely to guess that cattle were at
least a3 high as they were a year ago.
He would have the same opinion as to
hogs, and he would think of what the
butcher asks for lamb and mutton, and
nut sheep in the same class. lie might
estimate the average price of horses
somewhat less than it was at the be
ginning of 1903.
Once a year the American Agricultur
alist, a weekly paper devoted to farm
interests, takes much pains to ascertain
the market value of domestic animals
in the United States and the changes
which have taken pkee in the 12
months preceding. This winter its fig
ures seem to prove that the natural
guess of the city man would be wrong
in all respects.
Cows kept for milk are' about 51. per
cent, cheaper. Other cattle are report
ed to average 13 per cent, less in mar
ket value than a year ago. Hogs are
about nine per cent, lower. Sheep have
lost 7V per cent, of their market price.
But horses are rated six per cent, more
than they were last winter.
It is clear that the automobile has
not hurt the market for horses in any
such sense as might have kept the ad
vance from being as great as it would
otherwise have been. As for the de
cline in the price of farm ?.nimal3 used
for human food and the lack of any
corresponding change in the cost of
meat to consumers, that is a sore point
with many people who are obliged to
consider cart fully what they buy. If
the great packing companies and the
retail d-n'r-s in meats have any good
exr.Ianr.tion for the conditions reported,
they keep it to themselves. The curi
osity of the public is not satisfied.
The enormous value of domes-tic ani
mals, in the aggregate is shown most
strikingly by the fact that the decline
in market prices during the past year,
a change which has not been more than
about three per cent, is calculated at a
net decrease of $120,000,000. Nothing
more is neded to show how vast t he farm
ing interests of the American people are
and how prodigious the investment of
the nation in agriculture has become.
It is still the greatest of all industries.
A PERPETUAL PASSENGER.
Woman Utilizes Extraordinary Priv
ilege Accorded Her for
Brave Act.
It sometimes happens that trivial cir
cumstances lead to an entire change in
the course of one's life. In an article
describing some of the queer things that
are done by persons to whom passes have
beem given in return for valuable service
an eastern newspaper tells of a young
woman to whom such a pass was in ef
fect a means of gaining a living: "A
good many yiars ago there dwelt a young
woman on the cow. of Fr tiara not very
far from the mouth of the Mersey. She
was used to seeing the waves come combing-
to the cliffs on which her home was
built and she was not td'raid of the wa
ter. On a wintry night the-storm howled
around the chimneys and she knew that
many a poor sailor lad was in distress
far out at & a.
"She was of the plucky build who do
not fsar the elements at their worst, and
so she '.eft her roi.uwe and' watched.
Soon she observed 'he lights of a ?tc?.rner
making for the shore, a: i. if the c urse
was continued she knew there would be
a bad wreck and probably many lives
lost. So she fixed up a "Hare" which
at sea means any oid sort of a thing
which will attract attention by the blaze
it makes. Her flare was seen and under
stood and the ship kept off the coast until
there was sufilcifnt light to make the
rnouth of the river. The ship was a
peninsular and oriental boat, making
Liverpool ou a special trip. One of the
directors of the lire he rd the story and
became so interested that he idled thn
girl in her cliff home. Shu would r.ot ac
cept money for her act. but ho finally
forced on hrr a life pass on the line of
Fteamr8 which run so far to the east
that they meet themselves coming back.
She took the pass and faid it away.
"Some time elap-ed and she did not
pe'm to be caueht up by any likely yourg
man. She got so that It was necessary
to support herself, when she sudd'-rdy
rerr.emlxred theTa."- She put it into
effct at orce. This woman, no longer
a girl, now makes her horneon the perin
sular and oriental steamers and has
visited evry port from Hakodate, in
Japan, to the Mersey mouth. Sho is the
only original globe trotter, for she is ai
ways moving and jib ing queer harbors;
The pass wag given merely as an exhibi
tion of good will, but it provtd a life

MANY SOLDIERS' MONUMENTS.
Bmlma Built aa a Heanlt of mm Act
of tke PeBnylTol
J.KiIture.
Under an act of the legislature of 1901
there te quite an epidemic of BOldlers'
monuments building throughout the
state. The advantages offered by the
act are just beginning to be understood
and taken advantage of. Every county
seat not now provided with a suitable
soldiers' monument is pretty certain- tc
have one within a fevr years, Bays the
Phladelphia Press.
The act in question was prompted bj
the fact that in a number of counties the
effort to raise a su'Iicient amount oi
money by private subscription to erect
memorials to the dead of the war of the
rebellion had failed. Considerable
amounts had been contributed in some
instances, but not enough, as was th
case in Delaware county, where a monu
ment completed at the expense of the
county was dedicated a few weeks ago.
The project had been in hand many
years, and it is doubtful if it would evei
have been finished if the county had not
been authorized to come to the rescue.
In other instances, soldiers' memorials
have been- incumbered, but the obliga
tion can now be lifted by the county out
of the county moneys, and has been in
several cases.
Under the terms of the act it is neces
sary for at least 50 citizens of the county
to petition the court of quarter sessions
for the erection or completion of a monu
ment or to pay drhts heretofore con
tracted for the erection and construction
of such monument. By the court the
matter is laid before the grand jury, and
if approved by two successive grand
juries and the court the county commis
sioners shall be authorized to pay any
and all debts cortnetrd for the erection
of a monument, to complete it or to erect
a new one, and maintain at the county
seat a suitable monument to the soldiers
and sailors of the rebellion. There is nc
reason under such a law why any coun
ty should long be without a proper
memorial to the patriotism and bravery
cf those who offered their lives for their
country.
Nor is it likely any county which does
not now have a monument will fail tc
take 'Tivantr-ge of the opportunity of
fered. If any has not alrpady done so, it
is because the enabling act has not be
come well under?4 ood. The finances oi
a county must he in desperate condition
indeed to compel the authorities to re
fuse an appeal from old soldiers for a
memorial to their departed comrades
It is doubtful if thrr is a county in the
commonwealth in any such straits, and
In every instance the expenditure of a
reasonable sum for such purpose would
certainly have popular Approval.
All over the state the work is In
progress and in a short time Pennsyl
vania will have the distinction whicno
other state enjoys, of having ? nublic
memorial to its soldiers and pallors al
every county seat. These monuments
should be erected under intelligent and
artistic direction.
REMARKABLE PROCLAMATION.
Three RlllUon Subject of tbe C'wtr of
Ruatila Forhidtlen to
Carry Arms.
The governor of the great Rusrian dis
trict of Kharkoff, which lies between the
Don and the Dnieper, and has a popu
lation of nearly 3,000,0'0, has issued a
remarkable proclamation cf which some
hint has already been given in the cable
dispatches, says a London report. After
forbidding the inhabitants to carry
arm3 or weapons of any description
"daggers, brass-knuckles, sword-canef.
knives, ftc." without special permis
sion from the police, the proclamation
continues:
"Dealers in firearms, ammunition and
explosives are required to have a de
tailed list of sucji on their books. They
may deliver ruch only to persons au
thorized by th8 police to buy them, and
must keep a record of the names and
addr-ps?s of such persons, exactly speci
fying each sle.
"The proprietors of workshops, fac
tories and other Industrial establish
ments as also persons holding such
establishments on lear.e or as managers,
and their foremen, are required scrupu
lously to watch that their men are
not made the object of incitement to
revolt on the part of revolutionary
asrents. and they are to report such rev
olutionary acents to the police and aid
In their arrest and in the seizure of
anything, such as prohibited pamphlets
or books, seditious proclamations, or
secret manuscripts, that may secure
their conviction. All persons are pro
Hbited from circulating reports of an
ticipated public disturbances either oral
ly or in writing, and from organizing
wthout pr-rmission of the authorities any
kind of rol'.eeMon rr lottery.
"Porte r.s and night watchmen of
iou?s are required always to lend ac
tive assistance to the police immediate
ly they are called upon to do so. Houo
riiTfrs p.r- allowed o engage for these
duties r,;v persons whose selection is
approved by the police, and they may
not dismiss them without Informing the
latter."
The. governor's notification also pro
vides for the strenethening and the rig
orous r. t'ulation of servire of night
watchmen. He concludes with the
warning that "anyone breaking these
orders will render himself liable to a
fr.e Tot f.jrrerdirg -r. rubles f ??70), or
to three months' imnrlsor.mfnt."
, MULE ATE THE WAGON.
Aall Took a LUtlmr for tko
Death.
8. A- Harris, a grocer of Charlott,
lost a mule and the better pari of
a delivery wagon the other day. The
wagon tody was made of poplar. The
male wa made of Just simply or
dinary every-day mul, sys the
Charlotte (N. C.) Observer.
One night the mule got out of the
stable and set about a task of eating
up the delivery wagon. He ate the
framework down to the floor and
might have finished the floor if he
hadn't stopped long enough to die.
Cam King, one of the original two
orphans, was at the old courthouse
when he overheard Squire Maxwell
telling an Observer reporter about
the death of Sam Harris' mule.
"I believe every word of it," spoKe
up King, "and I will tell you why.
Mules will' wvt wood when they are
wanting forage and can't get it
(meaning no reflection on Sam).
"At Stauntork, Va., during the war
I was in charge of the commissary
wagons. We had plenty of corn for
our mules, but for days they had had
ii o forage whatever. Well, one night
my mules ate out five spokes from a
wagon wheel to which they had been
tied.
"That morning I got a load of
chestnut rails to feed my mules on
and they ate every one of them. Not
a inula died. What caused the death
of Mr. Harris' mule I can't say, but
I do know that my army mules were
great wood eaters."
What a Yarn!
This cold weather story comes from
Mapleton, Me., to the Lewiston Journal:
Some of the old pioneers say that they
used to have some very cold weather
here when they first came. They tell of
taking a block of ice and making a
trough to water the cattle in, which
would last until May; also of the tea
kettle boiling over on a red hot stove
and the water rolling on to the floor like
shot, frozen solid.
Of Practical Value.
Fishermen along the German ocean
used to look on deep sea research as a
mere scientific fad. They changed their
mind when, in consequence of the.se re
searches, 700,000 cod were caught in a
few days on new grounds.
Startling Evidence.
Fresh testimony in great quantity is
constantly coming in, declaring Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Oougha and Colda to be unequalled. A
recent expression from T. J. McFarland,
Bentorville, Va., server bs example, lie
writes :"I bad bronchitis for three years
and doctored all the time without being
