The Salvation Army Cap.a,n.

The cruel hand of want has not
fallen more heavily on any than or
the head Of the Salvation Army
Capt. Doey. According to the rule.
Of the Army. the captain was com.
PEELED to live within the income o.
the little army in Rock Island, and
under no consideration is he allowed
To draw upon the funds Of the gen.
eral organization. This being tn,
case. and il also being fact tina,
the members Of the army consist Of
the poorer class of people. il is nc
wonder that the family soon found
it almost impossible to exist on the
scant collections. etc. Through one
of his congregation, Rev. W. S
Marquis attention was called tt
Capt. Doey, and he communicated
with the members of the Broadway
church, and it was decided to hold q
service, at which collection would
bc taken and donations received.
The donation was called a pound
offering Of tea, coffee. etc. The col
lection taken. rs heretofore recorded.
amounted 10 $50. rs well as wagon
full sof provisions. and through this
service thciarmy's captain was once
more placed in comparatively com
Portable circumstances.
The eases mentioned are but few
Of many in Rock Island. and have
only been cited rs such. Still they
are sufficient to make the average
person satisfied with his lot.

Another Case.

Another ease Of deplorablc ma
fnrc is one in the lower part Of the
city. Death invaded the house and
carried of one of its members. and
the family which consiiedof II in all.
was in dire distress. The attention
of gentleman. living near the fam
lily. was called 10 the absolute ne
cessity Of aid and through the efforts
of the gentleman, two of the boys
secured employment. Through the
aid Of several noble hearted ladies
the family was provided with pro-
visions enough to last for several
weeks.
Still another instance of abject
poverty is that in which several
charitably inclined women interest
ed themselves. The head of the fam
lily had been stricken with consump-
ton and died. and these ladies
secured not only the aid of the
poormaster. but of several generous
citizens. and by small donations, the
mar was given a decent burial. and
those whom he left behind, provided
with provisions enough to last for a
time ut least.

Germany and Russia.


he now commercial treaty between
Russia and Germany has but little per-
sonal interest to Americans. 1t may be
that because of the tariff war" which
has been raging between these two ma
tons our exports of grain to Germany
have been slightly increased, but even
this is problematical Russian wheat,
shut out Of German markets, found its
way to England for market, and thus
cut off The sale Of portion of what we
normally supply to that cauntry But
the matter is nevertheless interesting to
us as showing how European nations
protect Their own productive Industries.
The quarr over the tariff between
the two coau'rivs has been going on for
almost two years. The commercial trea-
ty which was under discussion caused
the tariff war to break out last summer.
Russia exports almost exclusively agri-
cultural products and petroleum to Ger
many. The latter sends back chiefly
manufactured articles. In the discussion
of the treaty, Germany thought Russia
granted two little in return for what she
asked, and so put discriminating duty
l is marks per 100 Kilograms (220
poundo) on Russian wheat and rye
Russia re.aliated by clapping duty of
30 to 80 per cent on all imported Ger
man goods. Germany raised her duty
on Russian grain to 7 IL marks per Kill
ogram, equal to Sl,7S4 on every 22O
pounds, or As cents a bushel. Ameri-
can wheat pays duty of marks, or
Is cents less bushel than this figure.
Under these conditions, the trade be-
tween the two countries was nearly an
initiated. The annual exports from
Germany and Russia had been about
$39, 900, 900 in value annually, and
Russia's exports to Germany about S13S.
900 600. This was reduced to almost
nothing. Under the new treaty, the old
order of things will be restored.
