THE BBHRINe SEA JOB.

Three would be reader sympathy
with Mr.. Blaine's Behring Sea policy II
il was clear that its purpose was just
and not speculative.
Unluckily that is anything but clear.
The closure OF the sea is in no way
necessary TO the protection of the seals
from determination, but it is necessary
to the protection of the monopoly of
seal fishing now enjoyed by a single
corporate company by virtue of grant
from the United States, Of which that
company expects 10 secure an early re-
"a wi.
Our Government now unjustly for
bids any American citizen TO kali seals
in Alaska with out license from this
mopopoli,ti concern, and Mr.. Blaine
seeks to make the monopoly complete
by forSiddlng foreigners TO kill seals or
catch fish in any part of vast area.
The only APPARENT purpose OF the
attempt to close the sea is to promote
the interests Of this powerful monopoly
whose members feed fat upon their un
inst exactions. And for that improper
purpose Mr. Blaine, who on one men,
orab'e occasion declared that he was
never q deadhead in any enterprise,
risks the embodiment of this country
with its neigbbors by attempting to
close Behring Sea, the claim of right TO
do 80 resting upon the connection that
with Alaska We bought Russia's exclu
siye Jurisdiction over the whole of that
part of the ocean.
But did Russia ever have any such
exclusive jurisdiction over the sea'
Not only have other nations always
denie it, but the United States emphat-
ically resented the claim so long as
R1ssia held Alaska. 1t was never set
up by our Government until monop.
olistic corporation saw In it meau'
of driving its rivals out of business
and consolidatirg its own exclusive
control Of the sealskin market.
Does that fact sugg ggsst the true in:

THE DEATH OF JOHN ADAMS.
HE PASS VS. AWAY July 4 LISTENING TO
TnE so UNDs or REJOICING.

After long and brilliant career
John Adams retired TO his home iu
Quincy, Mass, intending TO complete
history of his times before his death.
He was then nearly 20 years old, and
did not hope to live many years. In-
deed, he predicted that his vanity and
bad temper would throw him into H.
of apoplexy from which he expected
never to recover, and IL is a wonder he
did not, for his fiorid, corpulent frame
was little calculated TO resist such an
attack. Yet he lived nearly another
quarter of century, dying in his 92ud
year, on the 4th of July, 1926, the tif
tieth anniversary of American inde.
pendence. The animosities Of his pub.
lie life we're forgotten, aud nothing is
more beautiful than the friendship,
embittered by many years of political
opposition, that was revived between
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in
old age.
As the Fourth Of July approached
the whole nation prepared to celebrate
the event, and invitations poured in on
the two ex.presidents who had
borne so conspicuous part in the es
tablishment Of independence to grace
this occasion with their presence. But
it became manifest before the day ar
rived that John Adams would not eyer
be able to attend the celebration il
Quincy. He was failing gradually in
body, but he was alive to all that passed
about him. June 80 deleg alton wa
sent to ask him for a toast to be pro
posed in his name.
"Iudepeudence foreverl' he replied
"Nothing elsei" in astonishmen
from those who remembered his olt
time forid style Of oratory.
"Not another word. Would 20,
gild refined goldi"
The same day he said: IL desire n
other inscription over my graveston
than this. Here lies John Adams
who took upon himself the responsible
ity of the peace with France in tn
year 1907
The morning of July 4 he lay listen

How TO Make Chocolate.

The secret in making chocolate, says
a leading confectioner of New York
city, is ip mixing the powder with en-
ough boiling water to make thin paste
and then pouring on boiling milk, and
last little more boiling water and
scalding one minute. 1t can be made
with all mix and no water if desired
but it is too rich for some people with
out the addition Of some water. Cho
colate, cocoa, nor any such mixture
should ever be STRIPED with anything
but silver or wooden spoon. A
teaspoonfal of chocolate to cup is the
rule, and il the liquids are poured on
while are boiling and the whole scalde(
in porcelain never tin-there will be
no doubt but that it will be success.

1pDrAHA's s1AMEsE TWINS

One Of the most wonderful freaks Of
nature ever known in this part of the
country is now causing good deal Of
talk in Kokomo aud adjoining counties.
Twelve miles south Of Kokomo, Mrs
Henry Jones had born TO her twiur, in-
separately connected at the hips and
lower addomen. The two bodies ere
jointed together at the base, with head
at each end, aud the lower limbs pro-
trude from each side ofthe body, where
the trunks are connected at the hips.
No vital organs are con nected, except
the spinal column, which is continuous
from one end 10 the other Each
breathes and pulsates quite independent
OF the other, aud both are perfectly
framed and have free use of their limbs
Along.the abdomen there is no line or
mark to show where one begins and the
other ends, except one umbilical cord,
which served for both. The infants
are very plump, well developed,
and apparently as hearty as any child
rem Of their ages Both nurse from the
mother and bottle with regular move
ments. Bolh are females. Their joint
weight is twelve pounds, and they
measure, from crown to crown, twenty
four inches. The lower limbs are Of
normal size. They have bright, spark.
ling blue eyes, aud are not in the least
peevish, aud when not nursing or asleep
content themselves sucking their
thumbs.
/
Thousands of people are focking to
see the infants, the medical fraternity
being well represented. The mother
is getting along nicely. The father is
tweuty-four years of age, the mother
but eighteen, and the present is the
second birth of the fmily. The niotheI
is spare built woman, weighing but
ninety pounds. All the physicians who
have made an examination express the
belief that the children may live, and
think the indication entirely flavor

GEN. H1pPOLYTE Is ON THE RUN.
HE RETIREs TO THE NORTH AFTER
HARD FIGHT, LEAVING PORT AU
PRINCE TO LEGITIME.

The war in Hsyti, it is expected,
will be abandoned during the Sammer
season. Gen. Legitime, President,
will contioue to hold the capital of the
Republic, while Gen. Hippolyte, lead
or Of the Northern party, has been
compelled to abandon his Notifications
near Port au Prince and has retreated
to the north. A decisive and bloody
battle was fought few days ago not
more than three miles from President
Legitimes' palace. The loss was
heavy on botn sides, but, according to
the cablegram received from Port au
Prince recently by Haytian Counsel.
General Deslandes, Hippolyte's was
the larger.
Gen. Hippolyte had succeeded in
marching his army toward the south
ern part of Hayti, capturing little for
tifcations at different points along his
route, and had gone into camp at La
Croix de Bouquet, a village ten mile
due north from Port au Prince. He
had about ten thousand men, fairly
well equipped, including a small force
of artillery, composed of Gatlings and
Howitzers. Camp was pitched about
July 20, when Hippolyte and his gen
erals decided to send outposts in the
direction of Port au Prince to ascer-
tain, if possible, the exact strength of
the Southern army. The outposts,
consisting of companies of infantry,
reached Drouillard, about three miles
from Port au Prince, while the main
force, under Gen. Hippolyte, continued
to enjoy camp life at La Croix de Bou-
quet.
Legitime called out his reserves, in,
cluding everybody able to carry gun.
Very many of his men were not uni
formed. Companies were pushed to
the front rapidly and daily skirmishes
between the outposts of the two part.
es took place until the rainy season
set in.
Hirpolyte knew that he could not re-
main in camp until the end of. the sea
son, and decided to attack the capital
On the night of Aug. 6 he formed hi
army into three divisions, which were
TO attack Port au Prince from as many
sides. Drouillard and Frere, planta
Gons to the eastward of the capital
were fortified when the command t.
advance was given. The Northern
troops marched beyond the fortified
places, and were about two and ON
half miles from the city, when the,
were met by the Southern army. Herr
fierce and bloody battle was fought
resulting in the hasty retreat of Hippo
lyte. Such is the information received
at the Haytian Consulate.
Consul General Deslandes sad to
reporter that it was very doubtful
whether Hippolyte would attempt an
other attack on Port au Prince. Mr.
Deslsndes said that Frederick Doug
lass, the new Minister from the Unitot
states, would start for Port au Primo
early next month.

Unfermented. 1t seems to give nour.

The rich properties Of the wine derived
from the iron in the soil on which the

does not cure, we believe IL prolongs
life in many cases of consumption. In
fact, cases haye been reported of per
