A sailor in foreign port is always the prey
Of harpies, and one of the first duties of an
American consul abroad is to look after the
rights of American seamen. To the credit Of
our consuls as d class, even those appointed by
Che present Administration it may he said that
they generally perform this duty admirably
Unfortunately our representative at Hong Kong
has taken the exactly opposite course, if report
may lc believed, and now looks after the priv
ilcges of the haIpies so well that American sea

coast put themselves under the protection OF

Of plain speaking have been offered which GER

Rear Admiral Luce is one Of these, and his

The fire insurance companies Of this city,
and the cities close beside us, have at length
agreed upon general plan Of doing business.
The same rate of commission is to be paid 90
per cent?, rates arc to he the same, and no re-
bate is to be allowed. This ought to take Il
burden off the minds of the underwriters, since
the struggle for business cannot possibly BE-
so severe or INSCRIPTIONS as when every broker
made his own bargain with the policy
and with the companies. The doubt intrudeS
itself, however, that the agreement may not
be lived up to. What effect the change in the
situation may have upon property-owners who
insure can be best determined year hence.

prevent human beings from risking their lives
in hazardous performances of this kind is not

The rule to be observed by every

from the greatest to the least should
be kept happy and saved from pain

proportion to the degree of comfort
enjoyed by them. Every farmer be-

we are saving for an object it is
so much easier to deny ourselves,

CHARGED WITH LIBEL.
James II. Lob Arrnigned in the Police
Court.

James II. Lob was charged in the
Police Court to-day with criminal
libel The charge was brought by Mr..
Joseph Reall, president of the Dairy
mans Association. The charge grew
out Of an alleged interview of the de.
fendant printed in the Cincinnati En-
qutrer and the Pittsburg Dispatch of
June 80, in which Lob made certain
statements concerning Reall's motives
in regard to the Oleomargarine bill now
before Congress. Mr.. Reall intends to
commence suit against each of the
papers for 100000. Lob is a farmer,
and has known Reall for number of
years, and was employed by the latter
as secretary of the Dairyman's Asso-
citation.
He alleged in the interview that Rcall
sent out thousands Of circulars to far
mers and dairymen, asking them to be-
come members of the association by
contributing money, and that the re.
turns were great and no books were
kept of the accounts. The members,
he said, were also requested to ask
their Congressman to urge the imposi-
tion of tax of ten cents per pound on
oleomargarine. The case went over
for q hearing.

An Old Resident DcnI.

Mr. Charles Jones died in this city yester-
day morning at the age of ninety-fve years.
The deceased has had an interesting history
and was associated with many historical
events and known to many prominent men.
His father Welsh clergyman, who had
emigrated to this country, was q personal
friend of George Washington, and when the
deceased was boy upon one occasion re-
ceived the blessing of Washington. When
Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton fought
their duel Mr.. Jones' father was called
upon to administer religious consolation on
Hamiton's death, but refused, owing to
his opposition to dueling. Mr.. Jones knew
Jefferson and on one occasion was the
guest for week OF President and Mrs.
Madison at the White House. The deceased
came to this city about a month ago to
visit his daughter. The funeral will take
place from 1915 New York avenue, to-mor-
row afternoon at 4 O'Clock.

Says the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Times: Washing
ton is threatened with n professional
beauty craze during the coming winter.
While the United States have furnished
professional beauties for both London
and Partisan society to go wild over,
the idea of showing off the prize
beauties in competition with each other
seems never to have taken root in
Washington. The beauty and general
attractiveness of the Presidents new
wife seems to have given birth
to the idea. Several Senators
wives are sure they each know
n young lady or two possessing
charms of face and figure quite equal
to those of Mrs. Cleveland, and they
propose to bring on their beauties during
the coming session and show them off.
In one instance 1t is said that lady of
distinction in Washington society pro
poses to help beauty of this sort who
does not possess the means to adorn
herself eXpensively in the neces.
sary wardrobe. 1t Is very
poor and useless sort of craze,
but If Washington society wants
to indulge in 1t there is abundant ma
terial in this country upon which to
draw for this kind OF sensation.
