WE CELEBRATED.

How grateful we are that it did not
take the continental congress more than
one day to sign the Declaration of indie
pendence. Two days of Fourth of
July celebration would wear out the
nerves of the strongest nation on earth,
for it does seem that when the
great big nation starts in to cele
brate Freedoms anniversary it works
itself up to a tension that could not posi-
bly, endure strain of over tWenty-four
hours at stretch. Then, too, the cele-
brations of our national holiday have
to be done according to the character
istic American style of making big
noise. There is a great deal of
fuss and sputter about everything
that we Americans do, and of
course it would not do to permit
Freedoms anniversary to pass without
making it the noisieSt day in the calen-
dar. As a result, we throw the balance
of trade in favor of China, for there is
nothing that fits into Fourth of July
celebration so appropriately as a bunch
Of firecrackerS and some Chinese fire
works. Be it said to the honor
of the American people that yesterday
was no exception to the popular method
of observing the Fourth. Hard times
and scarcity of money cut no figure in
the way of diminishing the number of
firecrackers that were consumed. The
croakers who talk to us about the de-
cadence of patriotism in this country
were set back most beautifully; for
there was many a patriotic American
citizen went without his dinner yester-
day that he might have money to spend
Oh fireworks.
But it is all over now, thank the good
Lord. We have celebrated, and for an
other year we will be at peace without
ourselves. x

The professional Irishmen are in
worse position, both legally and NOR

almost without exception American eiti-

without abjuring allegiance to any for

Irish republic as the British monarchy.
In pretending to labor for political re-

Slavery in Ecuador.

LONDON Times.
A French missionary, who has been
travelling through Ecuador. has made
inquiries into the condition of the In
dams, and reports that, although they
arc, nominally free. they are in reality
in state of slavery. Although, accord
ing to the laws, the Indian is
a red man, he is, as matter
of fact, bought and sold, be-
queathed by will. seized by creditor
in payment of debt. and in no way
distinguishable from beast of burden.
This state ofthings is brought about
by the law that permits an Indian to
sell himself into slavery when he is I'M
able to satisfy his creditors in any other
way. Once slave, he Is rarely able to
extricate himself from his servile con-
dition. His wife and children re also
slaves. His family is allowed a miser-
able hut in which to lodge, and small
patch of ground L,trely sufficient to sup
ply the food necessary TO sustain ZEE.
A man who had thus sold himself mo
slavery is attached to the estat-. of his
owner. and passes with into the hands
of the heir or purchaser, when it is
transferred by death or sale. The
greater part of the indians of the in
terror are reduced to this condition. and
live life of the utmost degradation and
MISERY.

A QUESTION OF IDENTITY.
She Says He Is Her Husband and
He That He is Her husbands

She Says he Is Her Husband and
He That He is Her husbands
Brother.
Augusta Special to Portland Argus.
A remarkable case of mistaken iden-
tity occurred here to-day. Something
over a year ago lady moved to this
city from Vermont by the name of
CropO. She married Joseph Cropo, Of
that state, some six or seven years
ago, and by him had three chill
dren. After living together some
i've years he willfully deserted her,
and she could get no trace of him.
and finally she concluded that he was
dead. She came to Augusta, where she
found employment for herself and little
ones, became acquainted with a worthy
man by the name of Smith, and awhile
ago the couple were married. Up to
yesterday she had no tidingS of her for
mer husband. and great was her sur
prise, therefore, yesterday afternoon
when she looked out of the window and
saw the modern Enoch Arden coming
up the walk.
He came in the house, and old times
were talked over about their home in
Vermont ana the children, but no allu-
sion was made to her recent marriage.
After he left the house she realized the
situation in which she was placed,
and, fearing there might be trouble,
she put on her things and
went down town and consulted
His Honor Judge Andrews, Civ
ing him true account of the whole
matter. The judge advised her to libel
the man and apply at once for divorce
on the ground of desertiOn. This she
dld, ana the proper papers were made
out and placed in the hands of Sheriff
Libby to be served. The woman
said the man might deny
being her husband, as that was
peculiar characteristic, but to
more closely identify him he had the
letters -. c." in India ink prlcked in
on his left arm. The sheriff had con.
siderable difficulty in getting track OF
the man, but finally located him, and
made known his business; but great
was his surprise when the man
denied being the husband Of
the woman, but said that he
was brother to her husband. "Take
your coat off and let me see your left
ARM" said the sheriff. Certainly"
said the man, and, suiting the action
to the words, he pulled off his
coat and rolled up his sleeves. His
arm was as free from any
distinguishing marks as baby'S.
The sheriff was puzzled. But the man
consented to go and face his supposed
wife, and together they proceeded to
the house.
The woman was brought into the
room. SIS that your husband?" asked
the sheriff. yes" said the woman
without an instant's hesitation. Are
you sure of it?'' persisted the sheriff.
''Sure Of it, retorted the woman, ''of
course l am. / lived with him for nearly
five years, and three children were born
to u.s." Here she was questioned about
the letters on his arm, and she said the
letters mentioned before were there.
He again rolled up his sleeve, and the
woman nearly tainted. She is still con-
WINGED in her own mind that the man is
her husband, while he claims that he is
her husbands brother. She did not
know or had forgotten that he had

Development of the Congo Region.

New York sun.
The rapidity with which commercial
enterprises are moving far up the Congo
is not a little surprising. Dutch,
French and Belgian companies have
established about twenty trading sta
tons on the upper river. between STAN
ley Pool and Stanley Falls. These
companies evidently do not share the
opinion Stanley expressed four years
ago, that the upper river would not be
worth a penny for trading purposes I'M
til the railroad was built around the
cataracts. A flourishing Dutch station
is now at Stanley Falls. 1900 miles up
the river, where, two years ago last
October. the Arabs burned the Congo
state building and drove the whites
down the river. These traders own five
steamers that are plying on the Upper
Congo. The caravan route along the
cataracts is being improved by placing
large ferries at the principal rivers and
bridging the smaller streams. The fact
is that the most sanguine friends of the
Congo enterprise did not dream that
the early stages of its development
would so rapidly advance.

ner of death, and a 36-caliber revolver
clasped FIN the dead mans right
hand showed, in all probability,
who was responsible for his
death. Cammann lived at 1909
East Fifth street with his wife and two
children. Mrs. Cammaun had no.
ticed for some time that her
husband was acting strangely. and yes
terday particularly so. He went down
town in the evening, and was not seen
until his dead body was found this
morning. He evidently feared arrest,
for he had but short time ago sold
some mortgaged city contracts without
releasing the mortgages. He is known
to have been mixed up in several
crooked affairs and some of his friends
sayhe told them plans were being formed
for his former pals to assassinate him.
The police, however, discredit this
phase of the affair, the circumstances
surrounding the finding of the body
proving that Cammann committed sui
