This city wants frst-0lass conven-
ton hall with the best acoustic proper
tlons. that will seat from 1000 to 5000
people. II can be used for mass meet
ings, conventions, indoor fairs and
expositions, in fact, it will be valuable
for many purposes. Such hall would
attract TO our city many State and
inter State body when arranging to hold
their annual meetings, whereas at
present there is no object in holding
them here because there is no better
accommodations or greater cOnveniences
than at other points in the State.
So. through lack OF suitable hall. the
merchants aud hotel keepers Of the town
lose many a good dollars worth OF trade.
Such hall could be erected over a
modern built market house at compare
lively small expense.

strike Of the dresser tenders at the Riv-

phase. The strikers have been out for

are trying to get back. The other op-

strike 10 cease, and have threatened
bodily harm 70 the dresser tenders who
have been so intimidated that they dare
not enter the mill enclosure.

GERMANY PROTESTS.
Letters OF ~ Suspect Detained by French
Postal Auth critics.

BERLIN, April s.-The government
has made a strong protest In Paris
against the action OF the French postal
authorities in OBTAINING for week the
letters sent by German named Kurtz
to the German consul at Rouen and the
German ambassador in Paris.
Kurtz was arrested in Rouen as a spy,
and was imprisoned. He wrote letters
protesting his innocence TO Count
Muenster and to the local consul on the
first day of his Imprisonment. As no
proof of his guilt could be obtained by
the authorities he was released week
later and was expelled from the coun-
try without having received an apology.
After he was across the border his let
tiers OF complaint were delivered to the
persons addressed.

THROUGH the Intervention Of self
appointed citizens committee, the
strikers and the street car people at last
got together long enough, yesterday, to
hold two hours conference. Unfor-
tunately, neither side was willing to
make sufficient concession to bring the
contention to an end, although both
sides indicated an honest disposition to
ad just differences, which, in itself, is a
long step toward an amicable settle
ment. Another good feature Of the con-
ference was the excellent temper on
both sides. Another such meeting
ought to bring about settlement OF the
strike.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch is doing a
very creditable thing in exposing the
causes Of pollution to the water supply
OF that city. 1t has sent commission
up the Allegheny river to inspect the
thousand and one places where filthy
rubbish and garbage are thrown into
the stream in large quantities. Although
Pittsburgh is about 100 miles away, and
according to experts the water between
here aud there has an opportunity to
purify itself before entering the Wheel
ing intakes, still many people have their
doubts about the fluid being in that i'm
maculate condition that one would wish,
even though there were no sources Of
corruption betweenPittsburg and Wheel
ng, OF which unfortunately there are
many. If the towns and villages along
the Ohio and its tributaries were made
to cremate their own filth, the purity OF
the water supply would be equal to that
anywhere, and the health Of the people
depending upon the Ohio for their
drinking water would be CORES
pondingly improved. 1t is the only
practical solution of this difficult and
highly important problem.
Communities, as we'll as individuals,
are too careless about the necessity
Of pure water, and 1t is possible only
to arouse them TO a sense Of their dan
ger by vivid presentation Of the facts
and results. 1t is often unpleasant to
do these things, because so many people
prefer to live on in laziness, filth and
disease rather than face responsibility
which brings with it some extra work,
and worry and trouble. They are built
that way, and only heroic methods can
get them out Of a natural rut.

Not Willing to Fight,

At the time the anti-American fever in
Chill was at its height a large dinner party
was given, exclusively attended by gentle
men. There was present a jovial Califor-
MAN who was in the country distinctly to
make money and avoid trouble. He had a
fund of comic yarns and spun them inces-
sanity, his evident purpose being to allay
as much as possible the local ill feeling to-
ward the Yankees and their flag. A young
Gillian captain who sat facing the Cali
fornian at last fired in a bitter remark
against Americans for their alleged inter-
ference in the late civil war. The Califor-
MAN good humoredly protested, his remarks
being general denial of the charge. You
are liarl' suddenly said the Gillian, look
ing calmly and determinedly into the face
of his vis-a-vis. There was instant con-
sternation throughout the table
The Californian wiped his lips, threw
down his napkin and slowly rising quiv-
cred moment and Kissed, do you mean
that, sir2" The Gillian arose also, folding
his arms, while his face showed ugly salts
faction at having secured a long sought
fight. II dol" he replied defantly. Then,
by heaven, sir, you are savedH' shouted the
Californian, "for will not be trifed with. "
Amid the universal laughter the young
captain was pulled into his seat, all hands
being satisfied that it was impossible to
get senseless fight out of the commercial

Good Words For the Donkey.

OF all horsefesh, so to speak, the patient
little, commonplace every day ass takes
the lead. There is no denying him the
palm. Were / a Homer, or a Dante, or even
a Holmes, / would indite an epic, or at least
a rhyme, to the character, strength and
courage of this noblest of the race. IN
every country where severe economics are
thrust upon the people, the donkey comes
to the rescue and does the work which no
other creature alive can do. He lives on
nothing He is rarely fed-in times of
drought or severe work some barley
is turned loose to find what he may. He is
never vicious or obstinate, but works faith
fully till his poor old ears flop downward
from age, and he literally falls under his
load and dies in his tracks, after serving
his often cruel master some score or more
of years When he is put to work as a
yearling, he does not last SO long / have
ridden one at IS months which had been
trained but two weeks, and yet was gentle,
bridlewise and well gated. Where is there

Agricultural Implements For Europe.

The export of agricultural implements to
European countries is steadily ON the in
crease. To Great Britain and Germany
there is an increase of about 20 per cent
within two years. To the Argentine Re
public the exports have quadrupled. Our
reapers and self binders are lighter of draft,
neater and about 20 per cent cheaper than
the English article. In plows the English
makers do not properly chill the points,
and this renders their iron brittle 1t is
said that Americans could extend their
trade in plows If they would adopt the iron
beamed style so much used abroad. Wag-
ons and buggies cannot be sold abroad un-
less they have an 'undercut." Otherwise
we make the correct article. Hardware.

THE SOLOMON ISLANDS.
Home of the Cannibals and Head Hunters
In the Southern Pacific.

Home of the Cannibals and Head Hunters
In the Southern Pacific.
The Solomon group of islands, recently
annexed by England, is the largest and as
yet least known of any In the Pacific ocean,
though among the very first to be discov-
cred. There are seven or eight large, noun
famous islands varying in length from 20
to 100 miles, and great number of smaller
Islands, ranging from Is to 20 miles In
length, down to the tiny coral islet one-half
q mile across.
The Solomon islanders are of a mixed
yace varying between an almost pure Malay
type and the darker skinned Polynesian.
Though they are almost universally canni-
balls, they stand In other respects by no
means low in the scale of savages. The men
are as a rule tall and well formed, and the
women, in their youth, are handsome and
attractive, though the drudgery which falls
to their lot soon ages and hardens their
looks. Indeed, the condition of women
among them, as in most savage races, is one
of absolute subsection. The wife is the alb
soute slave She is completely In the power
of her husband for life or death If goods
be stolen from the house. she Is responsible
to her lord in the first case, not the thief
Wives are bought and sold just like other
commodities
III was on one Oh UneSe 1SlanuS unaU MT,
Bates, an English yachtsman, landed from
his vessel and started into the woods He
never came back. A small party vainly
searched for him, and for years trade goods
landed on the island were done up in wrap
pers on which were printed the words,
BATES, we are looking for you" 1t was also
on one of the Solomon group that an unfor-
tunate Italian was kept as a slave for a num-
Der of years, until he finally got chance to
escape to New Britain, where at last ac
counts he was living among the natives,
his mind almost wholly destroyed by his
sufferings of earlier years.
Head hunting is still carried on to some
extent in connection with cannibalism, but
much more from the simple desire of the
chiefs to accumulate skulls as a token of
power or prowess. 1t has also sacrifi-
cial aspect. In case of the death of chief
head must be provided and the launch
ing of new war canoe or the completion
of bamboo house must be signalized
in the same way. Within the radius of
the head hunting forays no native can be
said to enjoy security of life for single
day. The custom is now carried on less
openly than of old.
Every chief has his butcher, who is an
important member of his court When a
captive is taken in war, he is handed over
to this official and promptly dispatched.
The body is then cut up, and the joints are
hung upon tree reserved for that purpose
in the village, and the people are invited to
come and Philadelphia Telegraph.

Canes with Lamps.

A German inventor has produced an cleo
trio cane lamp. The handle of the cane
contains an incandescent lamp, the two
poles of which are connected with the plates
of battery. Below this is small cham
Der to carry the battery fluid. When it is
desired to use the lamp, the cap is taken of
and the cane inclined so that the liquid it
contains comes in contact with the cleo
trodes. A current is thus produced that
will, 1t is asserted, keep the light going for
an hour.-New York Telegram.

The Advertising That Is Effective.

1t is constant advertising that produces
an effect, although the spasmodic announce
ment may have force peculiar to itself.
A boy sees his father every day and is nat
urally influenced by the example which is
perpetually before him. He goes to the
theater but occasionally. The effect of the
latter, being more striking, may be proper
tionately more effective. Many people pro-
test that it is unnecessary to continue the
advertising of well known articles. They
cannot understand why it is continued
They declare it does not influence them,
but the manufacturers know better. The
man who denies that he is influenced by
advertising constantly before him deceives
himself. and his very protest is proof of it.
