ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec ls.-Archbishop Ireland
dedicated this morning with great pomp and
ceremony the new church OF ST. Peter Claver,
for the special use of colored Catholics. The
archbishop. in his discourse, denounced in
strong words the social ostracism from which
the colored people suffer, declaring it contrary
to humanity, to the Christian religion and to
the spirit of the American republic. The
Catholic church, he said, was opposed by its
principles and history to all discrimination be-

WOMEN AND THEIR WAYS.

A woman never feels so keenly her
inability to rival man as when she sees
him bully a waiter. To no one does
she extend such respectful treatment.
The sight of waiter propelled from the
wrathful toe of the cooks boot into
the angry jaws of the man at the table
fills her with astOnIshment and awe.
The natural antagonism between the
man with fork and the man with the
tray is purely one of sex. Down town
there are several restaurants. frequent
ed largely by women, in which women
are the walters. At these nothing ever
dlsturbs the amicable relations between
those who serve and are served. The
walters wear black dresses, white COL
lars and cuffs, and neat white aprons
tied in the back with imposing bows.
1t is uniform, but at the same time it
is just such costume as the finest lady
might wear moving about her house
hold affairs. The intercourse between
the tables and the walters does not diff
fer from that of the tables among
themselves, for they are usually in
parties of two and three from the same
office, and are lIght-hesrted as school
girls. In these conversations the one
who waits will often take part, Tor they
get TO know one another in the COM
merce of day after day. But fancy in
4 mans restaurant the waiter presum-
ing TO add bis testimony to a conversa-
ton on equal terms. The regiment of
women typewrIters down town have
created new demand for other wo-
men TO serve them. There ls neither
humiliation on the one hand in this,
nor temptation on the other, 10 flip
pant, airy demeanor that Desets wo-
met IN the restaurants fre9uented by
men. il demonstrates, moreover, that
good des. that u said about the treat
ment women mete out 70 one an Their
i not borne out by the facts.-New

PRODUCE PRICES.

While the farmers are complaining
that wheat Is not worth enough IN the
market TO pay Cor harvesting, they do
not seem u appreciate the fact that
other farm products are selling at stiff
prices. This is not lost sight OF by the
consumer. He comes into contact with
the market and discovers at once that
wheat IS comparatively cheap, but po-
tatoes, apples, butter aad eggs are rel
atiyely dear. By referring 10 the mar
ket quotations il will be observed that
farmers command from 60 TO 90 cents
A bushel for potatoes, COO TO sl.o0 for
apples, and correspondingiy high
rates for other products. The retail
ers advance these prices 10 cover loss
and profit an average Of 20 per
cent, SO that when the coIsum-
er buys he pays above last years
average. This increase IN the prices
Of other products balances the low
price for wheat and gives the farmer
an average net returns and makes the
consumers outlay not in excess of his
usual necessary expenditures. So it
would appear that the farmers are not
suffering loss from cheap wheat nor
are the consumers making any saving
by reason thereof. The tariff cannot
injuriously affect either. 1t must
benefit both. Ii shuts out cheaper
wheat. that Is, wheat produced by
cheaper labor, and maintains shops and
factories wherein the consumers are
provided employment at good wages.

all, acts IS regulator preventing the

MADE A BAD SHOWING.

SAN Francisco, Nov. l8--At the an
nual meeting of the stockholders of
the Hawaiian Consolidated Sugar
company, held here, President John
d. Spreckles made report, IN which
he stated that the yield of sugar in
the Hawaiian Islands during the past
year mad been reduced, owing TO
drouth, to less than eighty thousand
tons, and that the loss of income dur
ing the past year was not less than
$2S6, 200. PAYMENT of dividends had
not only been stopped but the company
had been obliged to borrow $500, 900 to
save the growing crop. One hundred
and sixty-slx thousand dollars of this
loan remains IN the treasury, but it
will be exhausted IN harvesting the
present crop. which has been reduced
800, 600 tons owing to the drought.
The bondholders, be said, would
serve notice Of foreclosure, and as he
could see no way of putting the CON-
pany on firm basis for the future, he
could only recommend surrender to
them of the company's property. The
report showed that the assets of the
company aggregated IS, 952 900; liablli-
ties, 81, 200,0 Since the organization
of the company $40, 900 had been paid
as dividends.
The stockholders discussed Presi-
dent Spreckels' report and decided to
pay the company's Indebtedness as far
as possible and continue operations.
They Will look to congress to adopt a
nose favorable tariff legislation. The
old board of directors, consisting of

VERY BAD STORM

CHICAGO, Nov. ls.-Telegraph wires
are down all over the country and
communication with many points is
entirely cut off. High winds and sleet
are responsible for the p.ostration of
the wires and the storm covers a large
area. From what reports have been
obtained at the signal Office, the trouble
seems to have originated in Kansas and
TO have extended nearly the entire
length of the Mississippi river. The
eastern states have also suffered and
telegraph service to points east of
Pittsburg and Buffalo is badly democrat
iZed.
q BALrINoRE, Nov. ia hurricane of
unusual violence swept up the Chess-
psake bay at noon today aud PLAYED
havoc with the buildings along the

therein. The wind resched velocity
of almost sixty miles an hour. The

every class and a great deal of dam
age was done to them. A number of
vessels were blown from their moor
ings and came INTO collision. No loss
of life is reported.
