ADVANCE IN PRICES.
Binder Twine Market Rues Half a Cent and
Is Still on the Up Grade.
Confirming predictions in our former
comments on Binding Twine, prices
have advanced one-half cent per pound
on all grades. This advance is made
on the strong position of the fiber
market, and indications are that pres
ent prices will be maintained, although
even higher prices may prevail in the
very near future.
Consumption will be larger than an
ticipated as, from farm papers of the
Mississippi valley, a larger amount of
twine than usual will be required for
the oat harvest, an increase of at least
25 per cent by most conservative esti
mate. Wheat straw is large and grain
lodged, thus demanding more twine
where only an average was looked for
a few weeks since. This means a
shortage of twine in the East.
A careful canvass of the Northwest
indicates that home manufacutrers are
well prepared to take care of the market
of this section, and native pride would
dictate that, other things being equal,
home products should be given prefer
ence. Brands with no superior in
quality, and an excellence such as pos
sessed by the C.over Leaf Brand with
lower cost per 1,000 feet, also a market
near at hand, dealers should not hesi
tate in making up their orders. At
present, however, heavy shipments are
being made, and orders should be placed
at once as better attention can be given
to early orders than where bunched so
near harvest time.

HOW TO GET RID OF SPELLS OF
MORBIDNESS.
An Absorbing Interest or Occupation
la lfest Remedy-Victim of "Blue
Devtta" Are Too Much Taken Up
with Their Own Sensations.
Is there anyone of the human family
who does not suffer occasionally from
that "loathed melancholy" called "the
blues" If such a person exists he Is
as rare as the great auk.
From whatever cause the blue devils
take possession of us, whether from
derangements of the liver or nervous
system, or from simple eunuL the cure
for them Is the same, unless, ludeed.
they are bred by orgaulc disease which
has taken vital hold of the system.
And this cure an absorbing Interest
or occupation. People who ride their
hobbles in season and out of season
very rarely have the blues. Enthusias
tic collectors are also apt to be ag
gressively cheerful If you suffer from
depression of spirits, then take the
advice of authorities on the subject
and look about for an Interest In life.
Ursula Gesterfeld. In one of her
books handles the blue devils without
gloves. She frankly Informs the vic
tims that what Is the matter with them
Is not that they are "too flue for
earth's coarser uses," and that their
delicate natures suffer from contact
with the rude, boisterous wond, but
that they are abuormally selfish, too
absorbed In their own seusations to
heed the fact that they are enveloping
themselves In an atmosphere of gloom
which must necessarily depress all
about them.
Iler prescription Is to smile, smllo;
smile in season and out of season;
smile whether you feel like It or not.
and gradually the mental state will
adapt Itself to the bodily expression.
A charming young women was heard
to say the other day: "I am too much
in love ever to have the blues." 'Too
much In love?" echoed her astonished
auditors, surprised at this frank reve
lation. "Yes," she replied, provoklng
ly. "too much In love with myself. I
regard myself as a mirror, don't you
see, put on earth to reflect all the joy
and gladness of the universe, and so I
cannot think of letting myself become
obscured and dimmed by such ugly
clouds as the blues. Ah, never! I am
too vain."
Charles Xewcomb, that coiner of epi
grams, says: "There Is no stimulant
that Is more speedy and thorough In
its action than the thrill of Joy and
gladness. It Is a natural tonic, and the
entire system responds to Its exhilarat
ing vibrations.
Anything that arouses confidence In
life, with a larger sense of Its use and
beauty, increases human energy and
prepares the best conditions of success
In all undertakings. We are never left
In life with an entirely empty cup
board. there Is always some little portion of
fat to eat and sweet to drink If we will
only go our way and look about us, and
not allow the leanness of our grief
to absorb our thoughts or tears to
blind our eyes and fill every cup with
bitterness."
There Is a very old story about the
famous clown, Griznaldl, who once
called in a physician to see If he could
offer any alleviation for the depression
from which he suffered. "Go and see
Grlmaldl," advised the physician. "I
am Grlmaldl," replied the "melancholy
Jacques" in the Jester's garb.
Poor clown! lie was suffering from
the reaction occasioned by the con
stant effort to be funny. He needed
change of thought, Interest and occupa
tion. "It isn't the 'unting as 'urts the
'orses, It's the 'ammer, 'ainmer, 'am
mer on the 'ard 'Igh road."
There Is an exceedingly bitter tonic
that all of us must gulp down sooner
or later, and that Is that no one cares
a straw about our woes. The man who
laughs is the man who has friends by
the score, whose society Is eagerly
sought and who Is always welcome,
but the woman who weeps very soon
learns that she must weep alone. "This
sad old earth has need of our mirth."

CHINESE EGGED AN ACTOR.
Celestial Edwin Booth Meets with a
Bather Forcible Criticism.
The artistic temperament Is, perhaps.
more highly developed In the Chinese
theater-goer than In his American
counterpart It certainly was manifest
ed strongly enough the other night In
San Francisco, for Chew Foo, the great
Chinese star who recently went to that
city after winning the highest praise
from the critics of the Chinese press in
New York, was pelted with decayed
eggs and then made the target of In
numerable light firecrackers, all be
cause be failed to dress the part he
was acting In a proper manner.
Chew Foo stands. in practically the
same light to tne uninese piay-goer
that Edwin Booth stood to the English-
speaking public, let there were occa
sions In the career of that great actor,
when he played "Hamlet" arrayed in
a long frock coat, his head covered
with a silk hat In place of the raven
hair of the mad Danish prince. There
is, however, no record that the audi
ences did not make all allowance for
delayed trains and washed away
bridges, which were the causes of the
lack of costumes.
Hundreds of Instances might be cited
of Indulgences shown by American au
diences to actors who failed to dress
the parts they were playing as they
should be dressed. These are Instances
right In this city, says the San Fran
cisco Call where but never mind,
these cases have nothing to do with
the riot which took place in the Wash
ington stret theater because Chew Foo
wore the dress of a young man when
he should have worn that of an old
man.
Sergeant Conboy was there. He la

in Chinatown, but he cannot tell the
cause of the row. He saw Chew Foo

bushel basket of them. After that the
men In the audience began to throw

those outside the theater It sounded
like half a hundred men engaged la
pistol practice and word was sent to
police headquarters that half of China
town was engaged In battle, murder
and sudden death, and that the war of
the Tongs had dually broken out lu
real earnest
Half a doxen policemen were rushed
to the theater, only to find the place
resting In perfect peace. There was
no noise, no disturbance, and the play
was going smoothly along.
SAVED BY AN INDIAN.
How a Illoody Revolt of Negro Slarea
In New Jersey Waa Averted.
A bloody and desperate revolt was
once threatened by the negro slaves of
the Acquackauonck district of New
Jersey, and were It not for a drunken
Indian there would have been an awful
slaughter of the whites.
Shortly after the Revolution the
slaves demanded their emancipation.
Some of the New York farmers had
freed their slaves, most of whom weut
to the Kamapo mountains, where they
found unoccupied land. Stragglers ap-
Sared among the New Jersey slaves
id had little trouble spreading dissen
sion. The Dutch farmers were not yet
ready to abolish slavery and refused
the demands made upon them. The
slaves became insolent and hard to
manage. They even went so far as to
threaten dire vengeance, but little at
tention was paid to their muttering.
The negroes formed a secret society,
and held meetings in the woods and in
deserted houses. At last their plans
were about complete for a general re
volt. A meeting was called In an old
distillery w hich use! to stand near Fas
saic. Negroes came from every direc
tion, and by midnight nearly a hundred
were gathered there. The leaders made
excited speeches advocating the slaugh
ter of all the men In the community.
They were eager for a revolt and were
to be Informed just when to strike.
The slaves of each family were to take
care of their own masters. What was
to become of them afterward was not
considered, nor were there any plans of
escaping the punishment which would
surely be Inflicted on them. They were
for blood, regardless of consequences.
An old Indian bad spent the day at
the distillery, and the man In charge of
the vats had amused himself by getting
the redskin drunk. Tie fell just outsldj
the door, and lay there in a drunken
stupor. He was awakened about mid
night by the loud voices of the excited
slaves, and after a time realized the
purpose of the meeting. He knew that
the farmers would reward him with
whisky and tobacco If he carried them
the news, and lost no time In doing so.
He went to several farm houses before
he could find any one who would be
lieve the story, for no one thought that
the slaves really Intended to make trou
ble. Investigation showed that he was
telling the truth, and the farmers sur
rounded the distillery. The leaders were
arrested and carried to Newark in
chains. Many of the slaves were lash
ed by their owners until all thought of
rwolt was beaten out of them.
BLOWING UP OF THE MAINE.
Gen.
Fltzhngh Lee's Theory of the
Destruction of the Vessel.
In his Interesting address In this city
Monday evening General Fltzhugh Lee
gave his theory regarding the destruc
tion of the battleship Maine, says the
Indianapolis Journal After relating
the circumstances of the explosion and
describing the scene of fire and car
nage he witnessed on visiting the local
ity a few minutes after the event, he
said:
"My theory Is that It was done by
young officers who had been attached
to Weyler. After the catastrophe they
disappeared. Young officers of the
Spanish army did not take the trouble
to hide their pleasure over the horrible
affair. Many of them dropped their us
ual potations of red wine and opened
bottles of champagne In the cafes.
The government of Cuba Immediately
tried to forestall European opinion by
sending a dispatch which stated that
the explosion bad been caused by the
carelessness of the Americans them
selves. As to that I want to say that
the keys to the magazine of every
American man-of-war are brought to
the captain and are bung on hooks at
the bead of his bed so that he can
know where they are all the time.
When the divers went to work on the
Maine Captain Sigsbee said to them:
"Go Into my cabin and see if the keys
to the magazine are banging where
they ought to be.' The divers came up
with the keys. They had found them
banging by the side of the captain's
bed. Furthermore, the Investigation
brought out that the plates of the fore
part of the ship were bent upward,
showing clearly that the force of the
explosion bad been directed from the
bottom. The court of Inquiry heard
plenty of testimony which showed that
there had been two explosions; one
when the torpedo went off and tore its
way to the ship's magazine, and the
other when the magazine itself ex
ploded with a roar."
The real cause of the destruction of
the Maine Is still a mystery, though
there Is strong reason for accepting
General Lee's view. The report of the
United States court of Inquiry sus
tained the theory of an outside ex
plosion, but said "the court has been
unable to obtain any evidence fixing
the responsibility for the destruction
of the Maine upon any person or per
sons." The solution of such mysteries
come In time, when those who are In
possession of the secret think the right
time has come.
Used It in His Business.
"I tell you," exclaimed the slim Indl
vidual, "that water Is the greatest gift
to man."
"Are you a Prohibitionist?" asked a
bystander, taking him cordially by the
hand.
"No, sir," was the contemptuous re
ply, "I sell milk."
Whenever we see the word "felic
itous," we have a better understand
ing of the feelings of a bull when be

have money lying idle, can by the use
of these certificates get interest up to

had to make a payment on the 15th of
December, and he held one of the Port

We mean all that rich,
dark, color your hair used
to have. If it's gray now,

hair grow very heavy and
long; and it stops falling
of tne hair, too.
