Most Shameful ExtortiOn.

To the discredit of the men who
owned and controlled the transfer
ring facilities of Seattle, it is stated on
good authority that they took advan-
tage of the dire necessities of their
fellow citizens and the transient pop
ulation alike to extort from them fab
ulous sums for the transportation of
trunks and valuables at the time of
the fire. We conversed with several
who had paid as high as forty dollars
for the removal of trunk to a place
of safety three blocks away on the
fatal Thursday night, June the 9Th.
One hundred dollars was the price
charged for hauling a full load and
thirty-five to fifty dollars for a trunk
was the regular price demanded
and paid that night. The facts
seem sufficiently substantiated to
preclude the possibility of doubt. 1t
behooves Seattle to set down on this
sediment of selfshness in a way that
they shall never forget. just such
ghouls as this measly little crowd may
have caused, and no doubt did, occa-
sion much unnecessary distress and
suffering, aud the NesoS trusts their
sins and the sins of others like them
may be remembered for ever and a
day. The Johnstown people set q
good example as to how to deal with
heartless ghouls. Seattle might well
have followed. 1t may not be too late
to make them feel the weight of pub
lie indignation.-TacoHaG Ne1cS, II.

1t may be that the message when

Seattle and Tacoma operators were q

1T is possible that Stanley, the ex-
plorer, will now confirm one of the
visions of Swedenborg, who declared
that in the heart of Africa dwelt the
remnant of the Lost Tribes of Israel
Stanley holds to the opinion that
somewhere in the unexplored regions
of Africa there will be found white OF
ight-colored people. This belief, il
seems, was also INDUCED in by Liv-
ingstone. But the people must be
found before we begin to speculate on
their origin.

THE NEXT CENSUS,

By the time the next census has
been taken it is expected that oul
population will have reached the
enormous aggregate of 64, Ate, 600 souls
Mr.. E. B. Elliott, actuary of the United
States treasury department, says il
will number 62,9OOO,OOO persons on
the first of June next. The rate oi
increase as given by him would swell
this enormous number to about Ga,
100000, perhaps 65,OOO,OOO in June
1890. These figures are enough to
make even the most careless citizen
think.
Since the outbreak Of the last wal
our population has more than doubled.
This is the more remarkable in view
of the terrible slaughter on the field
and the obstacles to increase offered
by the war. But the percentage oi
gain, which fell from 35.11 in 1860 to
22.65 in the decade ending ten years
later, took an upward leap in 1880
stopping at 3O08. 1t will be greater
for the decade ending next year.
The growth of the nation has been
marvellous. From a puny people OF
less than 100000 souls in 1880
widely scattered and distrustful OF
each other, we had increased to s.
3O8,4S3 in 1909, 7,239,8SO in 1910, g.
623,822 in 1920, and 12,S66,OO0 in 1880.
In 1840 we numbered 17,069, ,453, in
1850, %, 191, ,S76, and in 1860, 81, LAS,
321. The rate of increase was highest
in the decade ending 1910, when it
reached 36.38, and lowest in the period
comprising the four years of the war.
Except for that period, also, the gain
has been steady.
When will we reach the enormous
figure of round 1OO,0OO0OO? Barring
war, famine or deadly and widespread
plaques, it should be before another
fifteen years have passed. Assuming
the rate of increase to be 3315 per
cent from 1890 to 19O0-and it will
certainly be no less than this-our
population in the latter year should
be more than 66,OOO,OOO. Five years
later it should be 100000, or
more than that of any other country
on the globe, with the three exceptions
of India and the Chinese and Russian
empires.
1t is customary to view such large
gains in population with some appre-
hension, but the experience of our
first century does not justify this.
Those of the immigrants who do not
come with any patriotic purposes are
soon taught that nonsense won't be
tolerated long, and with few excep-
tions they soon mend their ways. In
the cases of those born here there is
no trouble. They are for the stars and
stripes by intuition.

They Were Innocent.

The horses were again urged for
ward and upward toward the point
where the distant peak of Santa Clara
towers above the clouds till at last the
crest of an extinct crater was reached.
Within this hollow, one hundred feet
below the surrounding ridge, which
forms circular basin with a diameter
of about six hundred yards, as perfect
as if laid out by actual measurement,
lies lake of unknown depth. A little
way from the bank sounding leads
have been run down three hundred
feet without touching bottom. We are
told that at times the water becomes
warm, and that sulphurous fumes arise
from its surface, and again the bottom
of the lake will rise five or six feet so
suddenly that the women washing
along the shore have to swim for their
lives, leaving the clothes to float away.
Though called extinct, this would in
dictate that the temper of the volcano
is still too uncertain to make its i'm
mediate neighborhood desirable
place of residence.
This lake-called Tiscapa-is the
public laundry of Nicaragua's capital,
and here the lavendaras (washwomen)
come to cleanse the citys solled linen.
A rugged roadway leads down to the
water, where at all hours of every day
a novel scene is presented. Standing
knee deep or waist deep in the water,
dressed Cor rather undressed) accord
ingly, the native women pound the
clothes on fiat stones, and afterward
dry them on the surrounding bushes.
The industrious workers are them
selves the most striking pictures, clad
in but single short, sleeveless and
extremely ''low-necked' garment, and
even this slight trammeling they
discard in the ardor of business if
compelled to seek deeper rinsing
places. Honi soft qui NAL V pense.
And these creatures seem to be the per-
lection of innocence, for they remain
entirely undisturbed if, perchance, a
company of passing muleteers descend
the mountain path and proceed to
water their beasts and battle them
selves as unconcernedly and unnoticed
by the women as though they were
alone in the wilderness.
Among the workers, ranging in age
from maidens of II to matrons of SO,
one may see some surprising beauties,
whose advent in New York in civilized
attire would turn the heads and capture
the hearts of all the dudes of that
beauty-adoring metropolis. Though
the Phenician blood, which Nicara-
guans are so proud to claim, is proba-
bly, lost in the now more clearly de-
fined Spanish and Indian, yet these
mild-eyed, sweet-faced and graceful
children of Central America have re-
turned in their characters many of the
traits that distinguished their earlier
ancestors, including simple content
ment and a passionate enjoyment of
nature and love of home.

SUPPOSED TO BE OVER 1900 YEARs.-In
the province of Canton are occasionally
dug up ancient copper gongs or drums,
which some say were made by the abor
iginal Laos tribes, others say by Ma
Yuan, the renowned commander who in-
vadei Tong King IN A. d. Al and quell-
ed the rising of the rebellious tribes
against the Chinese, erecting a pillal of
bronze on the extreme southern border
of the Chill country" The Nani-hai
Majo temple, at Canton possesses two of
these curious monuments, ore large and
one small; the characters are mostly in
decipherable owing to the length of time
they have been in the ground. The larger
one was obtained from the tomb of a
barbarian chief 1000 years ago during
Tang dynasty at Kao chow; the smaller
at Sunchow. They are much valued as
rarities by the Canton people. A very
fine sounding one was dug up lately and
presented by the finder to the Temple of
Confucius.- Chinese Exchange.

A Nru KJND or Erpr

A New KIND OF FURL.-It has been
demonstrated in Vaca Valley, says the
Vallejo (Cal.) Chronicle, that peach
stones will make as good fire for house
hold purposes as the best kind of coal in
the market. The fruit growers, instead
of heretofore throwing the pits away,
dispose of the stones at the present time
at the rate of Sc a ton. A sack of the
stones will weigh about eighty pounds,
and will last as long as an equal number
of pounds of coal, and give greater in
tensity of heat. At many of the or
char DIS in the valley may be seen great
stacks of peach and apricots stones,
which will eventually find their way to
San Francisco and other places to be
sold for fuel. The apricots stones do
not burn as readily as the peach, and will
not command as good price. The fruit
rasers will undoubtedly be pleased to
learn that they now have another source
of revenue open to them. A large mum
Der of peaches are dried during the season
for shipment. AS oeon as the owners
find they have market for the stones
a greater number of pounds will be dried
than heretofore.

travelled not less than 275, 900 miles, in
Guiding two voyages around the world,
and has touched his foot upon the soil
of the three Americas, Europe, Asia,
Africa and any quantity of islands, and
been clear around Australia. His last
trip on the Libertad, boat thirty five
feet long, carrying only four tons, was
1000 miles long, sea voyage unparallel-
ed for vessel of the size. His father,
mother and elder brother were his CON-
panions. At times they were 1000 miles
from land, and the frail little craft met
dangerous storms, but came through
safely. Garfield is good sailor and
has never shown any fear of the sea. Ia
fact he does not know anything but the
sea, having never lived on land longer
than two weeks at time. This Liber-
tad trip however, did not strike him very
favorably, and the first night on beard
