BRADSTREET'S REPORT. TEETH TV1AKE MANY ILLS. I Lord Russell at the American Bar Association. A DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE International Arbitration? Wl the .. Subject of Bli Addre, and Be Was Greeted 'With a Hearty Applause Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 24. Over 4,500 people assembled toda? to listen to the address of Lord Russell, of Kil lowen, lord chief justice of England, on "International Arbitration," before the American Bar Association. It was one of the most distinguished audienoes ever gathered here. Lord Russell was crreeted with hearty applause. Be sides Lord Russell there was grouped on the platform United States Surpeme Court Judge Rufus -W. Peokham, ' United States Attorney General Har mon, New York Court of Appeals Judge Bartlett, and many other promi nent personages. . : , Speaking of the movement for arbi tration, Lord Russell said in part: "In 1890 the senate and house of representatives of the United States adopted a oonourrent resolution re- ; questing the president to make use of any fit oooasion to enter into neogtia tions with other governments to the end that any differences or disputes whioh oould not be adjusted by diplo matio agenoy might be referred to arbt tration and peacefully adujsted by suoh means. The British house of com mons in 1898 responded by passing unanimously a resolution expressive of the satisfaction it felt with this action and with the hope that the government of the queen would render ready oo operation to give it effect The parlia' ment of Denmark and Switzerland and V the Frenoh chamber, of deputies have followed suit. . "It seemed eminently desirable that there should be an agency by whioh members of , the great representative and ezeoutive bodies of the world in t terested in this far-reaohing question should meet on a common ground and disouss the basis for common action. , With this object there has reoently been founded the permanent parliamentary committee in favor of arbitration and peaoe, ' or, as it is sometimes called, 'the interparliamentary union.' This ' union has a permanent organization. - It? officers and members are not vain idealists; they are men of the world. - They do no claim to be regenerators of mankind, nor do tbey promise the mil ' lenium, but they are doing useful work in making straighter and less difficult - the path of intelligent progress. ,, "Speaking in this place", I need only refer in passing to the remarkable pan American congress held in your states in 1890, at the instance of the late Mr. Blaine, direoted to the same peace ful object. "It is obvious, therefore, that the sentiment for peaoe and in favor of ar bitration as the alternative for war is - growing apaoe. How has this senti ment told en the direct action of na tions? iXit far have they shaped their policy aooording to its methods? The ' answer to these question is that peaceful and encouraging experience has shown that over a large- area international differences may honorably, praotioally and usefully be dealt with by peaoeful arbitrament. - "There have been since 1815 some sixty instances of effective internntion- , al arbitration. Thirty-two of these the United States has been a party to, ' and Great Britain to some twenty of them. There are many instanoes also of the introduction of arbitration into treaties. .Here, too, the United States appears in the van. Are we, then, to conolude that the millenium of peaoe has arrived, that the dove has returned to the ark, a sure sign that the waters of international strife have subsided peramnently? '''." "I am not sanguine enough to lay this flattering unction to my soul. Unbridled ambition, thirst for wide domain, pride of power still holds ' sway, although with lessened force and in some sort under the restraint of the healthier opinion of the wolrd. But further, friend as I am of peaoe, I would yet affirm that there may be even greater calamities than war the dishonor of a nation, the triumph of an unrighteous oause, the perpetuation of ' hopeless and debasing tyranny. It be hooves, then, "all who are friends of peaoe and adovoates of arbitration, to ! reoognize the difficulties and to dis criminate between the causes in which friendly arbitration is and 'in whioh it may not be praotioally possible. "Arbitration will not cover the whole field of international contro versy, and until the great powers of the world in league bind themselves to coeroe a reoaloitrant member of the family of nations, we have still to face the more than possible disregard by powerful states of the obligations of ' good faith and of justioe. The scheme of suoh a combination has been advo cated, but the signs of its aooomplish ment are absent .. "I doubt whether in any case a per manent tribunal, the members of which shall be properly designated, is praotical or desirable. I fear it might assume intolerable pretentions." Three Friend to Be Released. Washington, Aug. 21. Acting Sec retary Curtis has instructed the collect or of customs at Jacksonville to release the suspeoted filibuster Three Friends, reoently seized by the revenue cutter Boutwell unless he knew of some good reason for her detention not yet oom munioated to the department. It is said there is no evidence tending to lawfully oonneot the Three Friends with any Cuban expedition that has sailed from this oountrv. The General Trade Is Confined to Staple Lines. New York, Aug. 24. Bradstreet'8 weekly trade review says: . . General trade throughout the United States is praotioally confined to . staple lines. The volume of business is no larger. Where orders have increased in number, they are smaller in size. In most instances they are based on near by requirements. .. The feature of the week is the increased difficulty in mak ing oolleotions and the higher rates for mercantile disoounts. Credits are be ing soanned more closely than hereto fore, and are granted less freely.. Bus iness in South Carolina is retarded by drouth, and in Northern Louisiana, Texas, Southern Arkansas and Missis sippi prolonged drought has so inter fered with business in some sections that it amounts to a calamity. Some Northwestern lumber mills shut down owing to low prices and difficulty in obtaining money, while the demand for woolens for spring delivery is not yet sufficient to start maohinery going. Wheat exports continue well, total shipments from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week (flour inoluded as wheat) amount ing to 2,991,693 bushels, against 2, 685,000 bushels last week, and as com pared with 2,889,000 bushels in the week a year ago, and with 8,182,000 two years ago. The total business failures in the United States is 244 this week,, six more than last week, seventy-two more than in the week a year ago, and thir teen more than the third week . of Au gust, 1894, the period of extreme de pression after the panio of 1893. MODIFIED THE ORDER. Railroad! May Carry Certain Letters ; Without Pottage. - Washington, Aug. 24. Aoting Postmaster-General Neilson today modified the reoent order'of the postmaster-general prohibiting railroads from carry ing, without payment of postage, mail relating to railroad business. The modified order was issued to meet the views expressed in an opinion by Attorney-General Harmon, to whom the matter had been referred at the request of the railway companies. The attorney-general held first, that a railorad oompany has the right to carry letters without payment of post age, that are written and sent by the offioers and agents of the railorad com pany whichx carries and delivers them, oonoerning its business, and these only. They may be letters to its other officers and agents, to those of connecting lines, or to any one else, so long as no other carrier intervenes. The momenj; this occurs, such other carrier is tran sporting letters for a third party, which is oontartry to law. Lettetrs of a oom pany addressed to offioers or agents 'of a oonneoting line on oompany business and delivered to an agent of the latter at the point of connection may be car ried by the latter to any point on the line, beoause, suoh letters comes within the prinoiple already expressed. But any oompany or officer or employe thereof carrying letters which - are neither written by that oompany nor addressed to it, is liable to ' the penal ties imposed by law. This is the rule, though the intervening carrier may have an ultimate interest in the sub jeot of the oorrespondenoe. . AN INFANT . MONSTROSITY. An Eight-Months-Old Male Child Diet of Old Age. St Louis, Aug 24. Sherman Robert Buroh died of senile debility at the age of 8 months. The child was born last December, and on Monday died of old age. He had passed through all the intellectual phases that are com mon to mankind, but so rapidly that he had not time nor opportunity to gather the knowledge that oomes of ex perience and precept or the wisdom born of thought. ' His brain developed and then withered with a rapidity comparable only to the growth and decay of Jonah's gourd. The faoe and head of the child made a striking feature. The head was wedge-shaped, broad, at the top and tapering to a , point at the chin. It was surmounted by a crop of dark brown hair, rather scant, but strong and of full size. It was not such hair as grows on the head of an 8-months-old baby. It was strong and ooarse as that of a man of mature age. . On the upper lip was a slight mustache, plain ly outlined, while all over the face a straggling board was disoernible. "The baby was unusually bright," said the father "He began to notice almost as soon as hea was born, and by the time he was a week old he seemed to know as muoh as his older brother, who was a year old. ' He did not try to Jalk, but would look at you as though he knew what you were thinking about. He never did look like a child, nor aot like one. He was a litlte old An Ignoble Red Man.

Why They Are Fighting. ' ' Madrid, Aug. 24. Senor Sagasta, ex-prime minister of Spain, in an in terview, said it was proposed to send a dispatch containing a memorandum upon the Cuban war to the United States government. ' Senor SagaBta said it was necessary to continue the war in Cuba in order to ' prove that Spain is not afraid of threats of a con flict with a greater nation.

The Brooks Hopgrowers' Co-operative Association, has decided to pay pick ers 25 cents per box of nine bushels during the coming season. One firm at St. Efelens shipped this season 140 tons of salmon, for whioh the fishermen received, at 4 cents a pound, the prevailing prioe, $11,200. A Cincinnati firm has contracted to purchase 20,000 pounds of hops near Salem. The prioe agreed upon is 6 cents, with an advance of 4 cents at picking time. " A tramway three miles long has been built to carry logs from the Rock creek district to the river for the Grande Ronde Lumber Company. The work of delivery will beign in a few days. A colony of 80,000 silk worms has concluded its ooooon spinning at Co quille. It is said the work has been done much quicker this season than be' fore, and if anything the cocoons are better also. : Two residents of Canyon City have just returned after taking three car loads of horses to Memphis, Tenn They seoured from $50 to $250 per head for the horses, which were an excep tionally fine lot ; ' The miners in the Pueblo district in Harney oounty, are experiencing diffi culty in working the plaoers on ac count of the soaroity of water at this time of year. Considerable development work in the quartz claims is being carried on. . ' A Linn county firm have signed the contract to build the bridge across Cow creek, at Glendale, and have gone to that plaoe to beign work. They were also awarded the oontract to repair the bridge across the South Umpqua at Roseburg, but have refused to sign the contraot, fearing that the upper part of the bridge is not strong enough to support it while in the oourse of repair. In Benton county hereafter all offi cials must pay their own deputy hire.

A big farm house has been finished and a quantity of stock has already been sesured. - ' ' A prominent Spokane hogbuyer says that hogs will bring a better price in the near future, as several packing bouses will be constructed in the state by Eastern capitalists, and that there will be a market on the ooast from now on for all the hogs that will be raised. The salmon run on the Snohomish river has begun and there is every prospect that it will be a large one. This is the year for the extra big run of siltfer salmon, as they are supposed to run in greater numbers every fourth year, and it has been four years since there was a big run. .

' ' Richard Butte, a Colyille miner, is said to have invented a" device by the aid of which he . is enabled to locate living water at varying depths under ground. He refuses to divulge his method for determining the where abouts of the water, bfit the method ap parently differs from the Kentucky goose-bone or the ordinary stick of the water witch, inasmuch . as he finds the depth by the aid of mathematics. The attempt at Kennewick to assess the district for irrigation purposes has been voted down. A Resume of Events in - Northwest. Mas- ticatlon May Be Avoided. "It would take too long to enumerate the many ills which may spring from imperfect teeth, " said Dr. Derby. "Of course one who has good teeth knows their value, but not enough people know what to do to keep them always in prop er condition. Neither can you tell one just what is necessary at all times. The removal of all foreign susbtances from any contact with the dentine is of course the primary necessity in considering the preservation of the teeth. . "One of the first reasons why one should have perfect teeth is the influ ence they exert over the digestion. To secure proper assimilation the process of mastication should be thorough Noth ing less will accomplish the results in tended. If this process is incomplete, all the attendant evils of indigestion are likely to follow. Thus the question of health is interposed as a primary one. Freedom from aches and pains and ap pearance take secondary places. ' "Of the many forms of neuralgia which cause such excruciating suffering a great many owe their existence entire ly, to the presense of faulty teeth. They can be remedied only by the proper treatment of the diseased roots. When this is done, a number of nervous disor ders - respond readily to the ordinary medical treatment Toothache, pure and simple, must be considered as an attend ant of improperly cared for teeth. It is an old saying that the man who finds an absolute remedy for and preventive of toothache will make a big fortune. "Of course the primary instruction, to one who is suffering from bad teeth is to see a dentist The exposed surface of the teeth, the enamel, must be kept per fect and whole. Any breaks in it must be immediately reparied and any wear ing away or decaying of the structure must be built up if one expects to se cure all the perfect results for which the teeth were designed by nature. Con stant brushing and cleaning and any good nonacid wash will do much to keep the teeth in good repair. , "Of course you know the story of the man who, when his teeth were admired, gave the following reasons for their per fect condition; I always brush them, night and morning and after eating, and leave them in a glass of salt water while I am asleep."
