Smallpox.
Seven or eight traders travelling between
Nlpgpoo and Slang shan-hsien were at
tackled the other day by about dozen or
htteen hill brigands In pass on the from
tier of the two districts. Five of the
traders who attempted to sist or give the
alarm were cut down and severely wounded
by the brigands. who took away all the
goods belonging to them, even going so
far al to strip them of AL their clothing,
leaving only q single jacket and rair of
cotton trousers to each of their victims.
The authorities of both districts have
promised rewards for the capture of the
robbers.

By the arrival of the steamship City of

A very disastrous fire. resulting in the
destruction of 400 native houses, took
place in Manila on the afternoon of Good
Friday. says the China Mail. 1t is reported
to have originated during a family
quarrel in native house, wo-
man having thrown brazier of

A number of shipping disasters are re-
ported from various paris of the japanese
coast. A large junk was struck by storm
off Oshionin, Hyogo prefecture. Every
thlng was done to ease the lahoring of the
craft but she finally foundered. the crew of
twelve getting off on raft, hastily con-
structed from the bamboo framework
which is usually attached to each side of
junk, but upon approaching the land the
structure went to pieces. and seven out of
the number, Including some women, were
drowned. The remaining FIVE sailors were
picked up by boat from the shore. In an
exhausted and battered condition. Several
other cases of shipwreck, some attended
with loss of life, are reported from different
districts.

have been praised and admired at former
exhibitions?
That canvases from so many of the best
artists in San Francisco should be- lacking
from San Francisco exhibit is unfortu-
nate. as the association itself has doubtless
realized by this time. A San Francisco
art exhibit should be representative of the
best painters and art-Workers in San Fran
cisco.
This one is not.
There has been complaint of a clique in
the Art Associations managers. Is it
true that there is such clique? If the
question is answered IN the affirmative,
then one can see an answer 10 that vastly
more important inquiry, Why are so many
OF the best painters not represented?
Some people have wondered whether it
were entirely right to have hanging COM
mittee composed exclusively or mostly of
artists.
They say artists are prejudiced In favor
OF their own schools-or ant to be so.
There is some truth in this.

Better Times in Kansas"

Under the above caption the Chicago
Tribune publishes the following item
"The recent hard times in Kansas have
brought good times to some people, and
certain recent happenings show that not
all western mortgages are improbable.
A banking house of Atchison took q
quarter section of land in Phillips
county, Kansas, during the hardest times,
on which it had mortgage Of 81, 800.
Last week it sold the farm for $4,000
cash, profit Of something like $4,000, in
addition to interest. This company is
reported to be selling land every day at
considerable profit"
And such is prosperity"
Such is the evidence Of "better times"
A poor devil Of farmer was squeezed
out Of his $4,000 farm by gang of Shy
locks under a s., 800 mortgage.
Besides interest" the "bsnking house"
(robbers) cleared $2,3OOl
For years such great statesmen as
Bill "Tsriff" Mckinley, of Ohio, has
been telling people that "a mortgage is
an evidence of prosperity" Well, here
is the evidence Of it. When thanking
house" can make $1,000 "besides inter
est" on an investment of $1,000, what
better is wanted!
OF course the little misfortune of the
poor devil who lost his farm is of no con-
sequence. That don't count. The "hard
times " did that. The times are "better"

are paid. Capital can only fructity
through the employment Of labor, and
labor is helpless without capital. It is
in vain to advise those who depend upon
their daily wages for their support, and
who possess no capital but their willing
hands, to change their places of resi-
dence and engage in agricultural pur-
suits. Even had they the means to
emigrate, which most Of them have not,
they would still have to be supplied with
seed, implements and animals, and with
support from seed time to harvest. 1t
is still more plainly idle to advise them
to engage in any species Of hsndicraft or
manufacture on their own account. In
modern times human labor is available
only in connection with machinery and
appliances. A policy which tends to a
constant fall Of prices, and therefore COM
pels capital from the iustifsble instinct
of self preservation to withdraw from
production, is a policy which reduces
laborers to worse condition than if
money were wholly abandoned and the
system of barter were re-established.
The condition of the lsborer is as bad
when money capital is not employed as
if it did not exist. The effect Of falling
prices is the same upon the smallest cap
itSlist as upon the largest The hope Of
gain is for all Of them the only induce
mont to take the risks and labor of enter
prises, and they will all prefer to con-
sumo their accumulstions rather than to
invest with the certainty of losing them.
They will, Of course, consume them as
slowly as possible, and to that end will
reduce their expenditures within the
smallest possible limits. Laborers
thrown out Of employment must in some
way have bare subsistence, but there
can be no other sources for it than the
scsnty earning of such as are employed,
and the capital in existence, which can
not refuse food to the starving.

A Successful Kansas Windmill.

1t is more than probable that within
the next twelve months some Of the
thousands of ADVOCATE readers will
make selection Of a wind mill, and will
no doubt exercise skill and judgment in
buying the most practical and durable.
The Currie Windmill Company, of Man
haitian, Kas., beg leave to announce that
they now have mill, both in steel and
wood, one that is as near perfection as
human skill and ingenuity can make. In
giving few facts boiled down, they say:
at is not necessary to give long de-
scription Of our steel windmill, it being
so simple that q glance at the cut will
explain it all, as it has no complicated
parts such as cams, elliptic gear with
travelling axis, sprocket wheels and
CHAINS, weights, links, levers and other
useless parts too numerous to mention.
Our pivot or turntable, governor, wood
boxes and pump drive are just the same
as we have been using with our wood
wheels and vanes for the last five years.
All the changes we have made is to
build steel wheel and vsne, and placing
on simple set Of spur gear 30 as to
allow the wheel to make three reVolu-
lutions for one stroke Of the pump, 30 we
are not putting out a new and untried
mill, but one that has stood the test for
the last five years in the north, south,
east and west, and has gained an envi-
able reputation. The outside rim Of our
wheel does not go about half way out on
the fans as others do, and leave the outer
end Of fans unsupported and Tapping
around like rags on clothesline, but
encircles the whole wheel and supports
the fans in the most rigid manner. Most
manufacturers Of windmills print q
table giving the size Of cylinders to be
used with their mills for different depths
Of wells. This we do not do, but say use
the size Of cylinder you have on your
pump, or il you are going to buy new
one, get the size you want, for our mill is
a pumper, and win pump from any we'll
that has got bottom to it, no matter
how deep. We use the wood boxing

end Of the grain. No climbing the tower
