Fact or Fiction About Worlds Fair
Awards.
A newspaper paragraph denounces as
'false'' the claim of baking powder
company to an award at the Worlds Fair.
Whom can it mean?
Certainly not DR.. Prices. Why? Be-
cause, as the records show, DR.. Prices
exhibited, competed and received the
highest award. The Official examiners
pronounced it the strongest, the purest,
the most wholesome and efficient of all
the baking powders. Its title to conf
dence is unquestioned.
Can il be the manufacturers of New
York powder, fictitionsly labeled ''abso-
lutely pure" who are making ''falseu
claims? That would be strange, indeed.
inasmuch as they were not even consid-
cred in the awards.
Was it ammonia in the New York pow
der that prevented its makers from COM
peting?

various other points has figured up a
third OF the traffic to New York, accord
ing to the local steamship lines, and the
announcement of the late great cut in
rates has started real hegira of European
born people. Dozens of men who said
they were now on strike have been
making inquiries at the local steamship
Offices within the last few days, express
ing their intention of returning to the old
country in case the strike was failure.
There are half dozen interesting phases
to the present situation, and there is much
food for thought in the depletion OF the
standing army OF unemployed IN this
country by the return of thousands OF
workers to their homes abroad. 1t Is
estimated that before long labor will be at
premium instead of q discount. and
there are not a few who figure out a sea-
son of prosperity as consequence OF the
return to Europe of thousands who have
been in the past six months unsuccessful
candidates for employment.

The flames that have been sweeping to-

The residents in the meantime had
driven their livestock to q place of

village was doomed they loaded their
household effects into wagons and hur-
ried them away. Much still remained to
be moved when the flames reached the

the wooden buildings proved better food
for the elements than the forest.

TIE vIG1LANT AT LAST WINS.

Britannia.

In the Eighth Race She Defeats the
Britannia.
BELFAST, July 17.-To-day's race, the
eighth in which the Britannia and the
Vigilant have been matched against each
other, was for the Rear Commodore cup
and money prize. and was over the
course sailed yesterday, fifty miles, on
Belfast Lough. The wind was blowing
strong from the west condition thought
to be more favorable to the Vigilant than
any she has hitherto experienced. The
start was made at 11:00:12.
At mark boat No. | the Vigilant led
minute seconds, and at the second turn
had increased the lead by 20 seconds. AT
the third boat the American was min
utes A seconds ahead.
The first round was finished as follows:
Vigiiant, 12:55:3S; Britannia. I2:5S.29.
The Vigilant's lead was minutes 81 Sec
onds.
To the next turn an additional gain of
two seconds was made.
The Britannia in the last round carried
away her bob-stay, lowered her foresail,
took in the topsail and gave up the race.
The accident to-day ROBBED the Vigilant
of some of the glory of outsailing the
Prince of Wales Britannia which is her
due. The Vigilant was in the lead nearly
six minutes when the Britannias fore
stay parted and she dropped out.
That the Vigilant is the better sailer in
a stiff breeze was demonstrated to every
body's satisfaction. for when she rounded
the mark, finishing half of the race, she
LED the Britisher 4 minutes 10 seconds,
and at the boat off the South Briggs was
. minutes "A seconds ahead. The time at
the conclusion of the second round was !:
Vigilant, 2:34:54; Britannia, 2:40:20, the
American s lead being reduced 10 seconds
in the run from the South Briggs to the
Bangor boat. The Britannia had scarcely
headed for the Carrick Fergus mark
boat when she sustained the accident
which took her out of the race. Captain
Carter received bad cut on the head by
the fall of some tackle as the Britannia s
gaff was carried away. The Vigilant
sailed the course home and reached the
home battery boat about 4:30 p. NJ.
CAME THROUGH WITH FLYING CoLoRs.
LONDON, July 1S.-The Times says in
its report of yesterdays yacht race
There was too much wind for the Britain
MIA to show to full advantage, and just
enough for the Vigilant to do so. The
latter, in fact, had her day, and came
through it with flying colors, her first
victory in British waters being gained in
irreproachabie style.

press dispatches.
FoRT SMITH, ARK, June 2O.-DStRils
Of q horrible state Of affairs which exists
in the mining region Of the Indian terri
tory have been brought to this city by
evicted miners. The stories they tell Of
oppression, hardship and cruelty to
themselves, their wives and children by
the deputy marahsls and federal troops
are similar to those which sometimes
come from Siberia.
Many Of the men were thrown bodily
from their homes, their wives and chill
dren beaten and bruised and their fur
niturS and household effects destroyed,
after which they were loaded into box
cars like cattle and shipped. The stories
Of brutality told by the men from the
HartshOrns district are revolving In the
extreme.
August Smith, one Of the HaPtshorn0
miners, says troops came to his house
and arrested him. They would not
allow him to put on his shoes and coat
and refused to let the family cot break
fast. The soldiers threw his furniture
into q wagon and then asked Smiths
wife IL she wanted to go.
"NO," she said. ~ have worked for
this home and il / leave you will have
to shoot me-"
'|Ths house was built by me and be-
longs to me-" said Smith, though l
have no legal title to it.
"The commander ordered the pEivates
to put my wife and Ave children out.
They jumped at her, one Of them pull
ing knife, and took the babe from her
breast. Then four or FIVE took her and
dragged her to the wagon and threw her
head foremost into it. We were then
carted to the station and put in box car
with dozens of others"
Most of the miners and families were
thrown out in . driving ram, and no
time given them to dress or eat break
fast. In one instance, family Of four
were svlcted near Anderson. The wife
Of the miner was struck over the head
with q Winchester and severely NAL
treated by the soldiers. The woman
was encisnte at the time, and while bO-
ing carried to the railroad station gave
premature birth to dead child. She Ia
in critical condition and may die.

gsncy IN money matters, will undoubt-
edly learn that when the money panic
was At it's height and the people suffer
ing Cor money, yet unable to borrow
from the banks (the source Of issue) at
any rate Of interest and on the best OF
security; when business failures, involv-
ing thousands Of dollars were occurring
daily, and q wall OF distress, Occasioned
bv the money desrth, was ascending
from the people, that the banks in the
Eastern cities were holding the largest
reserves they had held for years. On
making these discoveries, new light be-
gins to dawn upon the lOng-unsolvsd
mystery; our Investigator has learned
how paniCs are caused, and following
the trend OF circumstances, he will
easily divine the object Of the money
lenders Of the country in bringing about
the periodic money paniCs which have,
for q long time, occurred 8t intervals OF
about ten years. He will note the fact
that while the lOaning process continues
money ia flush, business reViVes, and
prices advance, at which time the
shrewd investor unlOads his property
holdings ct q handsome advance above
the previous purchase priCe, and loans
the proceeds; and when the available
supply OF cash money is all placed, or 30
much OF it as satisfactory security can
be obtained ior, the interesting part Of
the program begins. Rates OF interest
advance; large loans on long time are
discontinued; only short time loans in
small amounts can be obtained; Collec-
tions are forced on all loans with doubt
full security; every means available 10
brought in play to contract the circula-
tion. The inevitable result is stagnRtion
Of business and falling prices.
The investor is preparing to reap
rich harvest. As be collects his loans
with the interest compounded, he takes
advantage Of the low prices his panic
hes produced to invest in desirable prop
erty. Prices are low but he Is now pre-
pared to pave the way for another boom,
and by the Oft repeated process, with
which he has become perfectly familiar,
his monied interests will be doubled,
and perhaps threblsd, sgain in the shors
space Of one or two years.
When the producers and wsgs.earners
once fully reslizs the fact that by means
Of such hell.born swindling schemes "a
this (made possible BY national legisla-
tion) they have been robbed Of the &C.
Cummulsted earnings Of years Of hard

bers when the wrath Of the despOiled is

SOCIAL questions pressed 6hsmaOlVeS
more forcibly upon the people for sOlu-
tion than they are doing at the present
time. In this, however, as in all subse-
quest periods OF financial depression and
social upheavRl, ignorance on the part
Of the masses regarding economic and
social problems has stood In the way of
successful reform. Thus far IN the his
tory Of the world all attempts at civil
government have been defective, and
have failed to protect the common peo-
pie for any considerable length OF time
against the selfish interests, the rapaCity
and greed Of the officers chosen to ad-
minister their affairs. And here in the
United States Of America, q country
whose people boast OF their superior in
telligence the same stumbling block
over which the nations Of the past have
fallen is about to preCipitats q rSvOlu-
ton which may cost the life Of the ma
tion. We have failed to profit by the
great object lessons Of the past, and not
withstanding our bOssted advancement,
the intelligence Of the wage-earner must
again he reached, il reached at all,
through that most potent OF agencies
the gnawing Of hunger st the Vitals OF
the body; the physical wants OF the body
are making appeals to the reasoning
faculties Of the mind; demand Ia made
for q satisfactory explanation Of the
cause which has led to the unequal and
unjust condition now existing. Thou
sands, yes hundreds Of thousands OF
willing workers, who but a few years
ago were employed ct profitable wages,
are NOW idle, and in their leisure mo-
ments are earnestly pOnderlng over the
situation with view to asCertaining the
cause. They observe the fact that the
unlimited resources Of the country are
as vet practically untouched; that the
needs Of the constantly increasing pOpu'
lation call for more rather than less Of
the products Of labor; that there are not
too many laborsrs, else the resources Of
the country would ere this all have been
developed. They know that the great
mass Of the people who are stinting
themselves for the comforts, and in
many instances for the necesSRries OF
life, for the sole reason that they are NO
longer able to buy them, are in no way
RESPONSIBLE for the enforced idlenesS and
suffering Of the laboring classes. With
these facts before them, q million hands
scratch q million sober heads and stimuli
tsneously a million souls are gravely
propOunding the query, what then 10 the
cause?
But let US continue the investigation.
The wage Garner earnestly probing the
question, will recognize many things
that are radically wrong; the country is
convulsed with labor strikes, imperillDg
the lives and property Of millions Of peo-
pie; business is stsgnated; labor ia un-
employed; the prices Of the products Of
labor have reached the lowest point
ever known in the history OF this coun-
try, and the wage-earner in his earnest
search for the blighting influence which
has produced such conditions will locate
the cause in the recent money panic,
coupled with similar agencies made use
