PRICE FIVE CENTS

further reml, tances, ana he was Iorceo TO
borrow of the few remaining friends or
rather acquaintances, who would trust
him. Even this kind of credit soon failed
him, and during the second winter of his
sojourn here often saw him beg dime OF
passing stranger. He was then sleeping
in cheap lodging houses and filching his
food from free lunch counters. He was 3
perfect picture of poverty and woe. And,
as he afterward told me, he walked the
street many cold night to keep from
freezing for he had not even the money to
secure nights lodging.
Two or three times he walked to the
rivers edge with a view to suicide, but
upon each occasion hesitated, changed his
mind and renewed the struggle for exist
ence. 1t was in the following spring THAI
a friend who had known him in his pros
porous days in the west came to the city
and discovered his condition. He kindly
bought the impecunious Office seeker new
suit of clothes, gave him square meal
and purchased him ticket home. When
last heard of him, he was back in the rail-
road business and had abandoned politics
His case is remarkable one, it is true,
but there have been dozens of others SINH
lar. though perhaps not SO extreme. 1t
shows that there is much that is Elusive as
we'll as elusive about the government serr-
ice and demonstrates clearly that the man
who has a good position in private life
would do much better to hold it than to
abandon it for prospective public Office.

The Ouaintest Railroad on Earth.
Especial Correspondence.]


S1AscoSsET, Mass, April 24.-Perhaps of
all the queer, quaint places in this great
country Siasconset is the queerest and the
quaintest And yet it is not as queer and
quaint as is the Nantucket railroad which
plies between that sleepy town and Sias-
conset during the summer and early au-
tumn. 1t is still running, or rather it is
still in operation, because it never runs; it
bounces. And it bounces in such a fashion
that it affects the action of the heart. For
this reason the road is not so popular with
the people who have cardiac trouble as it
is with the corpulent individuals who
would have their superfuous flesh shaken
off as upon horseback. So far as speed is
concerned. man on crutches could give it
start and beat it to Siasconset without
getting into very violent perspiration.
The man with the financial mind does not
look at this queer little road through the
spectacles of the poet. To him the beauti-
full purple heather and the rolling, deep
green sea, and the restfrl, dreamy atmos-
phere of this remote and restful island mean
nothing. He simply inquiries how much it
cost II mile to construct it, how much it is
mortgaged for, and if it is paying it's in
terest and yielding fruit for the stockhoid-
ers If it runs off the track eight times in
Il mile and consumes two hours in covering
its course of II miles, it is IL finer property
in the eyes of this fiscal philosopher than is
Il first class Italian opera company that
doesn't earn it's expenses. He stands Won
dering if it will ever reach such dignity
as to be worthy of the attention of the men
whose chief pastime is the surreptitious ap.
preparation of railroads.
The humorist does not look at it either
through the spectacles of poetry or the sin
gle barreled eyeglass of finance. But it
affords him lots of innocent fun and diver
sion. He concludes that the train cannot
go against the wind, and that when the
! wind is with it it might get up good
burst of speed by adjusting sails on the
the ears to pre-
vent the ocean breezes from Blowing the
train off the tracks and sending it rolling
over and over across the purple moors.
But perhaps, after all, this queer little
railroad affords the greatest amount OF
amusement and the most genuine soul in
spring joy to the old railroad man from
other parts. X. X. MuNKlrTRlcK.

How Many Colleges Were Started.

The American college of the middle Of
this century, like it's English original, en-
listed for the work of the church. If the
college dies the church dies, was the basis
of it's appeal for money and influence. Its
duty was to form Il class; of educated men
in whose hands should lie the preservation
Of the creed. In the mouths of ignorant
men the truths of the church would be
clorGel. Each wise church would see that
it's wisdom be not marred by human folly
The needs of one church indicated the
needs of others. So it came about that each
Of the many organizations called churches
in America established it's colleges here and
there about the country, all based on the
same general plan.-David Starr Jordan in

Linguistic Instinct,

The streng III of the linguistic instinct in
children is shown by the remarkable shifts
they will maize to find forms of expression
for their perception or feelings An exam
ination of these shifts will show that the
energy of the child manifests itself along
precisely the same lines as have been taken
by the languages of the races of mankind
toward their ultimate forms. Thus, lack

observed by those who have assembled about

TIE Hawaiian Minister.

The report is in circulation in
the United States that Commits
sioner Blount is to succeed Mr..
Stevens as Minister to Hawaii.
The dispatches state, what has
been known here for months, that
Minister Stevens resignation has
been long on file in Washington,
and his departure next month
causes no surprise. The assertion
that there is some connection be-
tween the report that Commits
sioner Blount is to be appointed
minister and the appeal of the
royalists for the restoration of the
ex-queen is considered absurd.

eminent was forced into the treaty by
the diplomacy of Blaine, because Of
the fear that if Cuba sugar growers
were deprived of their market in the
United States through reciprocity ar
rangements with other sugar growing
countries they would revolt against
Spain.
The government intends to make
the treaty so unpopular that it will
fall to the ground of its own weight,
and has imposed an excise tax nearly
equal to the duties RENTED by the Nc
Kinley bill. Our government will
either protest strongly against the tax
or wipe out the whole treaty and leave
Cuban growers to face a possible i'm
port duty under our new tariff. The
Spanish government has also shown
an inclination to make trouble over
the schedule of articles on which duty
is reduced by the treaty. The Brazil
ian government is also making trouble
over the reciprocity treaty, but is not,
apparently, violating its obligations
so fiagrantly as the government of
Spain. 1t is understood that when
the schedule of discrimination in favor
of the United States was made that
the general scale of Brazilian import
duties might be raised. Brazil took
advantage of this arrangement to
raise the dutiable schedules as soon as
the reciprocity arrangement was made
and said she was obliged to do so in
order to obtain sufficient revenue for
carrying on the federal government.

TIE BELGIC ARRIVES.
Admiral Irwin Not Aboard, She
Sails at g p. III.

OAA4o NL " ps ~A-s
Shortly after 8 o'clock Thursday
morning the steamer Belgic was
telephoned. 1t was expected she
would come into the harbor and
before II o'clock quite a crowd
had gathered at the Pacific Mail
wharf to see the big liner enter.
She was boarded by the port
physician off Waikiki and shortly
afterwards came to anchor off the
channel. As there was but little
freight and few passengers, it was
decided she should not come into
the harbor this trip and much dis
appointment was felt in conse-
quence. The mails and freight
were landed by the aid of the
scow. There were but fifteen pas
sengers in all for this port.
Advices had been received here
in naval circles that Rear-Admiral
Irwin and Ensign Parmenter and
bride would be aboard, en- route for
the China station, but they failed
to materialize. Mr.. Parmenter is
well known here and a short time
since was married to Admiral r.
wins neice. He was lately trans
ferred from the Monterey to the
Asiatic station.
The Belgic is slightly larger
vessel than the Oceanic and is not
so old. Her length over all is 1908 +;
width of beam 42.4 registered ton
mage 1912 tons; net tonnage 1886
tons.
The Belgic left same night at p
NJ. carrying the usual mail and a
large number Of return laborers
from this port.

New Steamer Line.

Official announcement Is made that
the Canadian Pacific win at once es-
tablish through Australian line from
Vancouver, calling at Honolulu and
Auckland en- route.
The action is regarded by the Sou
thern Pacific as simply the carrying
out Of the policy of the Dominion
government, which has been to carry
travellers from England TO the Austria
Ian colonies without transferring
them from under the British flag.
The officials at Fourth and Towns
end streets scout the idea that the
passenger rate between this city and
Portland had anything to do with the
placing of steamships on the line, as
claimed by the Canadian Pacific, for
such action has long been cOntem-
plated, as is shown by the reports of
the railroad to the Canadian parlia-
ment. The Southern Pacific also says
that the rate given the Canadian Pa
cific was low and fair one, and as to
boycott being declared, the rate is
the same as that given the Northern
Pacific.
The Oceanic Steamship Company
will be the chief direct sufferer by the
new Australian line to Vancouver
From May to October lst it has been
the custom of this line to bring by
each steamer from 200 to 300 passen-
gers to this city. The last steamer in
brought n still larger number, indi-
eating that the Worlds Fair travel
from the colonies had set IN and that
it was going to be very heavy. Now
it is thought the new line of the
Canada Pacific will get the bulk of
this traffic for two reasons: First, the
well-known clanishness of the aver
age globe-trotter will cause HIM to
select line run by his own country
men, and, secondly, the fare will be
materially reduced by the new route.
It is expected that this will be made a
\ very popular summer route to Europe,
as the passage by the Suez canal is
very unpleasant during the hot
months.
The Canadian company will have
the Miowera and another similar YES
sci in the service. Both are vessels
like the Monowai. Round trip passen-
ger rates have already been reduced to
$3.50.
