The business world was startled
last week by the news that ex-
Secretary of the Treasury Chas. Fos-
ter had failed and turned his finan-
cial interests over to an assignee.
The failure is due to the fact that
Foster had been a heavy endorser
of large establishments which re-
Gently assigned. His endorsements
aggregate 100000. and the strin-
gency of the money market caused
the banks to request payment OF
the notes. 1t is conceded his gen.
erosity and public spirit has been
the indirect cause of his financial
downfall, as he was ever ready te
lend helping hand.

Since Jan. 1st $6O.OOO,OOO in

Since Jan. 1st $6O.OO0,0OO in
gold have been exported to Eu
rope, and the export movement,
instead of abating, seems to have
received a fresh impetus. Most of
this gold was taken from the
United States treasury, and prac-
tically all that is now exported
comes from the same source. In
that time the treasury department
has sustained a net loss of $25,-
354,243, the net total gold in the
treasury Jan. 1st, 1898 having
been $121, ,266,662, while on Mon
day it was only $95,912,419. The
gold engaged for shipment Tues
day and Wednesday would leave
it about 500, 100000. the lowest
figure reached since the resump-
ton of specie payments. In ad-
dition, there are reports that more
will go out next. Saturday, suffici-
ent, it is said, to reduce the1 gold
holdings to seo,oOO,OOO. Despite
these heavy shipments, the treas
ury officials express the greatest
confidence in the ability of the
treasury to restore the gold balance.

The month of June bids fair to
be a prosperous month for the fair.
From the number of societies and
organizations that have announced
in advance their intention of visit
ing the fair during that month, it
is estimated the daily attendance
will be enormously increased.
There are to be a number of spec
ial days selected for some particu-
lar observance by the different
nationalities and societies, and
each of these will bring crowds.

A Practical illustration.

Uncle Silas was the best posted man
on general topics in the village, and q
hunter of renown as well. He also had
virago for wife. Dear, dear; what
temper that woman hadl She was the
only thing on earth Of which Uncle
Silas was afraid.
One day class of school children
called on the old man. They were sent
by their teacher to get some facts In
natural history.
"We've come," said the spokesman Of
the class, '.to ask you some questions,
Uncle Silas, about the habits and Gus
toms of the wildcat"
Uncle Silas had been very glad to see
them, as the broad smile on his face
testified. But now he looked very much
alarmed.
"H-u-s-hr he said, with a cautious
such a. errand?'
"Miss Knowles, our teacher" said the
class in concert.
"Waal, she oughter know better.
amt never he'd anythin to say about
them thar critters sence-oh, Lordy,
thar she comesp'
| And Uncle Silas lit out as tall wom-
an armed with broom lit in.
"Think yer smart, do ye?" she scream
ed. "Wanter know about wildcats,
hey? Got up joke on the ole man, but
I'll teach We to joke on fac's. Take that
home for yer pains"
Whack, whack, went the broom, and
it did not fail in it's aim, as two of the
boys who were the last to get out could
easily prove.-Detroit Free Press.

MISSIONARY MACKLIRS IDEAS;

NJ. Macklin, M. D., d missionary
of the Christian church, who has
resided nine years at Nankin, Chi
ma, was at the st. Charles yester
day, says the Oregonian of May
26th. In discussing The probable
attitude of the Chinese govern
ment in regard to the Geary law,
DR.. Macklin said in part:
at is my opinion that the Chi
nese government will not retaliate
upon the American missionaries
because a mere handful of its own
people are to be thrown out Of the
United States. Why, 100000
people are not drop in the bucket
in one Of China's big cities, and il
they were wiped out of existence
instead of being sent back, l don'l
think the gov ernment would raise
a finger in retaliation. There is
no such thing as public opinion in
China. The newspapers of the
empire have a very limited in
fluence, and even if they were dis
posed to stir up a bad feeling
against the white residents. they
would find 1t very difficult mat
ter. But the newspapers will never
make trouble, because they are all
under foreign management. A
newspaper controlled by natives
never proves success, for it is al
ways sure to get into trouble with
some powerful government official
and the government steps in anC
squelches it. But when a Journa
is conducted by foreigner
that is another matter, and the
government dares not interfere
News travels slowly in China. A
the present time probably no ont
outside of the leading members o
the ruling class knows that such al
act as the Geary law is in existence
and it would be a useless under
taking to attempt to explain it
meaning to the majority of th
! Chinese. TO them it would sim
ply be incomprehensible. If th
government should think it bes
to create dissatisfaction among il
subjects, the Geary law and it
measures would never be men
toned. 1t would simply prey up
on the superstitious minds of tn
poor heathen by hanging up hug
posters declaring that the whit
men were conjurers who producet
evil spirits. 1t would hang up il
conspicuous places pictures o
white doctors tearing out the heart
Of Cinnamon by means of porou
plasters, or cutting off heads ant
limbs with huge knives, saws ant
axes. The Chinese riots whicl
created so much CONSERVATION
some years ago were brought abou
in this manner, and then the gov
ernment was eight long months
exciting the natives.
''Desplte the adverse Legislation
of the United..s States in regard It
the Chinese, they have far NOR
respect for the Americans than fo
any other nation on earth. Amer
leans can travel almost anywher
in China and be treated with re
spect, for his nation is feared a
the greatest On earth, and becaus
its missionaries have done so muc
for the people.
"You can say that when lei
Nankin, nearly month ago, ther
did not appear to be the slightes
feeling in that city to cause appre
hension on the part of American
who have friends in China"
