KNOWS WHAT A DRUG STORE is FOR.
: I-oGest Ghicagoan Who Asks For What
he Wants.

j. Modest Ghicagoan Who Asks For What
he Wants.
The popular belief that a drug store is a
sort Of house of call for the miscellaneous
accommodation Of the public seems to OBJ
tain in the Worlds fair city as generally as
elsewhere if we may believe this little in
cident related in the Chicago Record: One
day a man went into Il drug store on Ogden
avenue and began to look anxiously about
him. Got phone?" he asked.
The druggist pointed to corner behind
the prescription case, and the man stepped
over to ring the bell. He had some trouble
in getting central, so he comp planned several
times in a loud tone and asked if the phone
was in order The druggist said it was
Finally the man found his number. He
leaned against the phone and had the fol-
lowing one sided conversation:
"Hello, is that you?"-"Out on Ogden
avenue" Say, how about that matter?"-
'You know what l told you yesterday-I
can't do it; there are some people standing
around here" (The druggist moved up to-

Sacred Cockroaches.

One of the strangest superstitions of Chi
namen is the awe with which they regard
the cockroach. John holds the ugly black
pest as something sacred, claiming that it
is especially favored by the gods and par
ticular favorite of the great joss. The most
unfortunate mishap that can befall China
man is to step on cockroach. Instantly
visions of terrible disasters and calamities
arise before him. In some instances the
superstition has been known to prey so on
the minds Of the Celestials as to drive them
insane

IN ARCTIC WEATHER.
The New Freezing and Cold Storage
Warehouse Opened.

The new warehouse OF the Merchants
Freezing and Cold Storage Company on
Kinsley avenue was formally opened this
afternoon, and from until o'clock the
managers gave a reception to the large
number OF merchants, produce dealers
and others who are to take advantage of
the important and long needed facilities
offered by the company.
This building has been erected especially
for freezing and cold storage psrposes
and is OF the latest and most approved
construction. No pains or expense has
been spared to make it model plant in
every way, and we feel justified in saying
II is second TO none in this country.
The building containing the machinery
is of fireproot construction, and the ma
chimes in duplicate, thus reducing the
chances of loss by disabled machinery to
the minimum.
The storehouse contains 10000 cubic
feet of space divided with rooms OF vari-
Gus sizes, which may be kept at any tenn
perature desired.
These stores are connected with the rail-
roads by spur track. and shippers OF dairy
products, fruits, etc.. viii appreciate the
advantage OF having their cars loaded or
discharged directly from or into reiriger-
ating rooms without exposure TO the out
side atmosphere. Merchandise shipped
over the New York & New England X. r..
being switched free OF charge.
The contractor who bad charge OF the
construction was II. r. Cate and tho sub
contractors were Gilbain Brothers for the
carpentry and the Builders Iron Foundry
for the Iron work. There were 5000, 900
bricks from the New England Brick
Company used in the construction.

ECKELS SPEAKS.
Comptroller of the Currency
Speaks His Views.

bH Ntc drc'ctutch ffcss
BAY CITY, Mich, Sept. 13.-Hon. James
ii. Eckels, comptroller of the currency,
delivered an interesting speech today be-
fore the Bankers Association of Michi-
gan.
Comptroller Eckels prefaced his speech
by congratulating the citizens of Michi-
gan upon the fact that despite the
panic of the last year hut four of
their state banking institutions had
proved unable to maintain their solvency.
He referred at some length TO the far
reaching Importance OF the banking busi-
ness. Never" he continued, was the
Importance of banks SO exemplifed as
during the distresses of 1893. The Sc
verest strain Of the unwise silver legis-
lation of 1890 fell in the first
instance in the banks of the country,
causing depletion of deposits and necessi-
tating reductions of loans and discounts
to meet the demands upon them.
These conditions were soon reflected i'm
the line of commerce.
As then, the deadened condition of the
banks reflected the status Of our CONNER
cial world, so now their increasing bus-
ness causes the return of commercial ac-
tivity.
"Our country's return to prosperity
Will be substantial in character and long
continued If the people on the one hand
refrain from undue speculation, and our
national legislature on the other from
crystalizing into the law the financial
vagaries OF those who demand
of the government great
volume Of money without regard to its
intrinsic or representative value. The
banks can in a large measure, check the
speculative tendencies OF the people.
''It rests with the people to say whether
they shall suffer from legislative folly.
"Unwise financial legislation always, in
the end, falls upon the mass OF the
people 1t may be long deferred, but the
history OF the operation of every bad law
upon the subject OF currency proves the
result of the assertion. N there oe any in
this State who doubt the truth of
the statement let them read the story
OF the effect of the first financial legisa
tion in Michigan enacted Immediately
upon it's admission to the union.
~ am sure" said the speaker in conclu-
sion, "that the people of Michigan will
not have TO re-learn the lesson OF more
than so years ago."

He Says That Lynchers Are Punished
Severely in Lone Star State.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 13.--In reply to .
telegram sent from the New York World
with reference to the proposed visit of the
party OF Englishmen to the South for the
purpose OF investigating mob law, Gov
ernor Hogg has wired The World, the fol-
lowing telegram:
Texas has no sympathy or excuse for
lynchers or murderers OF any class and IL
fast suppressing them. Within the last
eighteen months only one white man and
two negroes have been mobbed.
"Eleven of these Iynchers have been ap-
pretended and indicted. Some OF them
are in jail and others have fed the country.
Rewards by the State are over the heads
Of all lynchers for their arrest and con-
viction. During the two years of 1892
and 1893, "a murderers were convicted
and sentenced to death, and "a were put
in the penitentiary for life. Those in
cluded many old offenders. This year
the work goes on with renewed vigor and
good effect. Whites and blacks are equal
before the laws and given fair trials.
Assassins, lychers and rapists
received no sympathy from the
better classes and alike dread
our courts. The negroes and whites are
prosI ing under wholesome laws faith
fully executed without the prospect or
fear Of race war or the increase OF law
lessness.
Neither moral or political sentiment or
law, will prohibit Englishmer or other
people from fully enquiring into the sup
posed race troubles or other questions In

JAPANESE IMMIGRANT COMPANIES.
Bu The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-An insight to
the working Of the japanese immigration
companies has been furnished the State
Department at its request by Consul Il. j.
Smither of Hiago. These companies are
organized with the sanction OF the
Government and are taxed. They are
of recent origin. The Meigi emil
grafton company was established at
Hiago in January, 1891, with q capital OF
$4,000 yen, and was required by the Gov
eenment to deposit with the Government
of this Ken the sum of 10000 yen as
security for paying the expenses
of immigrants whom it might
be obliged, under the terms of
contracts with them, to return
to their native country. This particular
company was organized to send laborers
| to Victoria by the Canadian Pacific COM
pany and thence forwarded into the
United States.
new company las been organized 1t
Hiago with the sanction of the Japanese
Government under conditions which en-
sue the fulfillment to its contracts with
those Japanese who may go abroad under
its protection. This company was re-
quired to deposit 80 900 yen as an indem-
nifty fund with the Government
Under new regulations imposed by the
United States the immigrants are fur
nished strong protection; their contract
with the company being app
proved by the Government while
the company is compelled TO
secure for its agents abroad the recogni-
tion of approval OF the government, under
which they are stationed and to which
the emigrants are To be exported.
The contract into which the emigrant
enters with his company is so drawn that
the company appears to stand in the light
of a guardian over its chargeH while
above the compa ny is the Government
assuming to see to it that the contract Is
observed.
1t pledges the immigration company to
procure passport for the emigrant, to
make all arrangements for his passage,
and through its agents to assist him in
obtaining employment when he reaches
his destination.
In the event Of illness or other distress,
the agents are TO assist him to return to
Japan. IL necessary, the immigrant
must have the signatures of two guaran-
tors TO his contract who are Responsible
for his conduct during the term of the
contract. For all OF these advantages the
emigrant pays to the company the sum OF
seven yen.

@h-7Rtittth
PAwTUcKET, Sept. 13.--Heroes of many
hard-fought fire and many closely
contested muster, and the friends
who came TO see them march in
brave attire and work the brakes with
old-time vigor, occupy the city OF Paw
tucket today, for the annual hand engine
tournament OF the New England Veteran
city, and everything goes TO make it a
success among auccesses.
Veteran firemen who do such things
prayed for fair weather, last night, and
nature smiled upon their wishes and
hopes, for there never was q prettier,
pleassnter and more glorious morning in
early autumn than that of today. When
the moons light was supplanted by that
of the rising sun, this morning, and the
stars faded out, there was not cloud in
the sky. The mercury hovered between
the 90 and 20 marks on the thermometer
demonstrating that the temperature would
not be too high for comfort, and those
who had feared clouds or rain breathed
sighs OF relief and prepared for the en-
loyments and Efforts Oh the day.
The Decorations.
Not since the centenary celebration has
the city presented such gay sight.
About all the buildings along ehe line of
march were prettily decorated and many
of them showed that artistic hands had
done the work. The stores along Main
street were resplendent IN colors and on
all sides We're embems welcoming the
heroes of long ago. Right glad Pawtucket
was to see them and right hearty was the
enthusiastic and spontaneous tribute it
laid at their feet. Flags were kissing the
breezes from all the city stats, school
buildings and engine houses, while the
City Hall, police headquarters and Veteran
Association building were nicely fixed up.
The streets were bright with flags and
bunting, and from early morn crowds be-
gan to fill the streets. BY the time the
celebration was fairly under way the
crowds had become dense, and it was es-
timated that there were nearly 10000
strangers in the city. All the morning
trains from out OF the city unloaded vet
erans in red jackets and spectators in
citizens dress, who watched with in
terest the various hand tubs as they went
through the streets on their way into
line.
