The Law of the Jungle.

The law Of the jungle, which never
orders anything without reason, for
bids every beast toeat man except when
he is killing to show his children how
to kill, and then he must hunt outside
the hunting grounds of his pack or
tribe. The real reason for this is that
man killing means, sooner or later, the
arrival of white men on elephants, with
gun*, and hundreds of brown men with
gongs and rockets and torches. Then
everybody in the jungle suffers. Tho
reason the beasts give among them
selves is that man is the weakest and
most defenseless Of all living things,
and it is unsportsmanlik to touch him.
They say, too-and it is true-that man
eaters become NANCY and lose their
teeth. -Rudyard Kipling in st. Mich
olas.

Food and Health Expositions


springfield (Mass.) Republican,
1t should be clearly understood by the
patrons of flood and health expositions'
such as that held in this city for the last
fortnight that they are distinctly adver-
Using enterprises. However excellent
may be the various articles of food ex-
hibited at these displays, the public
ought not to accept the opinions as to
the goods advanced by the lecturers on
cooking, whose addresses and demon
strations form an important part of the
exposition" without realizing that the
lecturers in question are employed by
the exhibitors to advertise their pro-
ducts. And whenever there is dispar-
agement of the goods of other manufac-
turers not included among the exhibit
ors, it should be remembered that the
witnesses are prejudiced. Great injus-
tiee to makers of standard articles is
sometimes done by the lecturers at these
food exhibitions. but they will not be
likely to suffer much harm when the
situation is appreciated by intelligent
housewives,

CARLlsIE's TROUBLES.
How Gold Receipts Fell off Bond Buyers
Need Encouragement

Washington, January 28.-Two rea-
sons impelled Secretary Carlisle to go to
New York last night, one TO straighten
out hitch between the collector of Gus
toms at New York and the importers re-
gardlng the acceptance of checks in pay
ment of customs duties and the other to
ascertain the prospects of bids for the
new bond issue. Under the old system
in vogue in New York checks were re-
ceived by the collector in payment of
customs dues. A court decision recently
rendered, made the collector responsible
for all checks whether the banks cashed
them or not. This responsibility Collector
Kllbreth, after losing several hundred
dollars, declined to assume. The i'm
porters, . in retaliation, ceased to pay
customs dues in gold checks and de-
posted therefor silver certificates.
Before the. order was issued to refuse
checks, the gold payments averaged for
the first twenty-five days &c per cent.
They ran down the day the order was
put into effect to less than half of one
per cent, and in few days the loss OF
gold in the customs receipts aggregated
more than $2,000,000. In the present
drain on gold for the ordinary expenses
of the treasury, this state of affairs was
serious. A new system { f transfer order
was suggested for the payment of
customs dues and it is thought that it
will be agreeable to the importers, banks
and treasury officials, but some of the
importers still object.
The action of the committee on
judiciary in reporting the Bailey resolu-
ton favorabiy to the House, has had the
effect of lettering any large bids SO far
for the new bonds The action of the
Knights of Labor in seeking an in
junction against Secretary Carlisle to
prevent him issuing bonds has also had
disquieting effect. Treasury officials
have no doubt of the power of the
Secretary to use the gold obtained for
these bonds for any legitimate govern
ment expenses. Secretary Carlisle will,
while in New York assure all prospective
bidders that they need have no fears on
any score about bidding for the bonds
and they will be amply protected.

A weird Love Story.

1.-THE strangest test of will power and
endurance ever made, said E. d. Con
sauls of the City Of Mexico, at the
Southern, was in Mexico, the charac-
ters being Mexican girl and an Amer
lean man. They were lovers, and the
girls parents refused their consent to
the union, insisting that she should
marry wealthy Mexican .suitor. At
the suggestion Of the girl they agreed
to die together, and to test the strength
and endurance of each others love
they chose a means Of suicide unlike
any ever dreamed Of before. Food
and fruit were placed on table in the
center of room, occupied by both, the
girl having escaped from her home, but
being unwilling to elope with her lover.
1t was agreed that they should starve
to death with plenty before them, and
should either succumb to nature and
partake Of the food then both were re-
leased from the bond of death, but there
should bean everlasting separation. For
IL days they endured the pangs of hun
ger without . pgpfhnr or a thought OF
wavering frost thair purpose to die to-
gether. The twelfth day the father of
the girl discovered her whereabouts,
and breaking the door they were car
ried out, too faint to stand alone. 1t
took them several days to recover their
strength, and when they did they were
married. This is a true statement, and
the American is living with his Mex
lean wife today. "-St. Louis Globe

Portland Firemen's Good Work.

Upon received the telegram yesterday
morning from Bath, for aid, Wenemovet,
No. 6, with Assistant Engineer Eldridge
in charge and company of 25 men made
up from the various fire companies, took
a special at the Union Station, and in SO
minutes arrived at Brunswick. The run
from Brunswick to Bath was made in
nine minutes. AS the car ran into the
station the Portland company was re-
ceived with cheers. Two lines of hose
had already been run out for the steam
er and she coupled Oh at once. The
Brunswick hand engines had already ar
rived, and the Lewiston steamer about
an hour later 1t was fortunate that
help was procurable so quickly, for a
leak in the city pipes, we are informed,
materially affected the Holly system by
which Bath obtains her water supply,
and, in case of fire, much of the means
for fighting the flames.
After the fire was well under control,
soon after noon, a substantial collation.
was furnished and the Portland contin-
gent reached home about 4. 10 p. m.

Quiet in Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, Conn, January 2s.-For
the first time in eight days, it is abso-
lutely quiet about this city, not a car be-
ing run. Owing to disuse, all the street
car tracks are buried in snow. There
are no signs Of life at the Traction Com
pany's Office, but the cars will start
again tomorrow morning. 1t is said
that the IS men who ran the nine cars
Saturday have decided to give up their
places on account of the threatening
manner in which they were treated. A
movement is being agitated for a mass
meeting of citizens to take some action
upon the situation.

THE DUNLOP DIVORCE CASE.
The Defendant Testified to Asking Bless.
ing After Fishing on Sunday.

Saco, January 27.-The Dunlop divorce
case, which has been on trial before
Judge Foster.sin the Supreme court since
Friday, will not be given to the jury un-
til Monday.
Today the court room was crowded,
the audience being largely women. There
was considerable weeping among the
fair sex when particularly affecting testi-
mony was introduced.
This morning the libelee, James Dun
lop. was examined at considerable
length. He testified that shortly after
moving to Limerick in 1898, he went
fishing one Sunday with two of his
fellow workmen. He forgot to come
home until quite late, and when he re-
turned he had two pickerel. His wife
began to jaw" him for keeping her
dinner waiting. He put the fish in the
sink and his wife came up to him and
said: you are an angel, aren't you?n
He replied; Il fiatter myself that I
am. | have heaven all of my own. and
God has blessed me with a mother-in-
law, a father-in-law and a brotber-in-
law.n
Then he says Mrs. Dunlop took a long
spoon which she was using to din hot
corn, and tried to strike him. He
lodged, took hold of her hands, and the
hot corn struck him in the neck. That
was all the trouble he had with his wife.
He was willing to take her back any
time, and resume housekeeping.
On cross-examination he stated that be
was in the habit of asking blessing at
his meals, and that blessing had been
asked by him over the Sunday pickerel.
George A. Cove, David S. Fogg and
Thomas A. Holland, all of Limerick.
were examined, but no new develop
ments were brought out.
The court here considered the evil
dence closed and the jurors were excused
until 10 Monday forenoon. when the
arguments will be made

FULL OF MISTAKES,
Still More Errors in the Tariff Bill-aTs
Showing Up.

Washington, August 21,--Additional
errors in punctuation in the new tariff
bill are constantly being discovered by
the treasury officials. Today an impor-
tant mistake was found in section Ave
of the free list. This section provides
that articles Of foreign nnanufacture
must be stamped with the name of or
igin and then says: 'and until so
stamped, branded or labelled they shall
not be delivered to the importer, should
eny article of imported merchandise be
marked, stamped, ETC., in excess Of the
annuity exactly contained in such arti-
cle." 1t Is assumed that there should
have been a period established between
he words importers" and Should"
but as there Is none, the paragraph, as
1t stands, Is unintelliglble, and may
lead to serious embarrassments in its
execution. Up to this, Mr.. Carlisle has
not advanced any opinion Of the at
torney general upon the mistakes In
the bill, and he will probably not do
so until after the bill becomes a law.
The secretary, however. has expressed
the opinion that all goods now in bond,
which have been changed from the
dutiable to the free list, will be subject
to the duty in force when imported II
withdrawn for consumption. Goods,
however, can be imported and then re-
imported and thus receive the benefits
Of the free list. This was not the IN
tcntion OF congress in the early prepa-
ration Of the BILL. This question was
raised, but the words "or Withdrawn
for consumption" which appear in the
enacting clause, were then changed to-
clearly indicate that goods in bond
could be withdrawn at the new rates.
But the true Specification OF the words
"and mentioned In schedules herein
contained" which follow. do not seem
TO have been fully understood.

SAN FRANCISCO CONVENTION.

look previous to calling the Democratic

race for the gubernatorial nomination
lies between James II. Budd, Of Stock

with BuSd in the lead At this hour,
however, the success Of no candidate
in any position is assured. The attl-

question promises the lIyelIest kind Of

to adopt strong resolutions In opposl-
