HOW He BECAME COLONEL"
The Story the pasco News Man Tells on
q. Himself. ~

F. E. Eldridge, who guides the destinies
Of the Pasco News, tells as good a story as
this on himself: It appears thAtghe wears
the title Of Colonel. Mr.. Eldridge re-
lated to a friend of the East Oregonian
how he acquired that title. He went to
one of the Portland hotels and st6ned HIS
name on the; register. The pr0prietor
came along, looked over the list of arri-
walls, and thought the Pasco News man
appeared like D suspicious character. He
therefore marked before the name the
letter, "col." to indicate to the clerk that
he was to collect" from the journalist
and run no risks. A reporter scrutinized
the list, saw "col" before Eldridge's
name and the next morning appeared a.
personal mention of "Col. F. E. Eldridge
Of Pasco Wash.," being in the city.

1t Has Been Steady Producer Right
Along.
The Mountain Chief has been a sue
cessful and remunerative mine, says
the Slocum Times. G.. w. Hughes has
said himself that he would-have walked
out of the West Kootenay broke but
for the Mountain Chief. He has had
many severe losses in this country,
but his profits out of direct mining
have placed him in the position of
owning one-third in the Idaho and st.
John, the whole of the Mountain Chief.
and nearly one-third in the Fisher
Maiden, besides other less known prop
critics. Road making has kept him
poor, ore contracts have gone back
on him, and fire has destroyed his out
fit; but the Mountain Chief has been
steady producer right along, and will
remain such for some time to come.
Shipments of ore have begun for the
season. The first shipment was one of
60 tons. The cubic space required to
hold 60 tons of galena in solid mass,
when it is compared with the dimen-
sions of the ore bodies in the SLOGAN,
is as mere drop in the ocean. Yet 60
tons of the Mountain Chief ore are
worth S. 400, gross value.

Washington, Nov. ss.-secretary OF

into the United States Sof a certain
brand of Rhine wine, which can be pro-
duced only in a small tract of Germany,
but of which this country receives
more than thatsparticular tract is cap
able of producing. Germany therefore
could find no cause for complaint il
the United States should decide to

policy might prove an effective method
Of retaliation, one which would lead

The Aspirations Of the Trade Labor
Movement.
In the last number Of the American
Federationfst Captain John O'Brien
treats of the aspirations OF the trade
labor movement, closing his article a.
follows:
Let the labor movement take on our
substitute system for want of system;
let all labor rally around the standards
of the unions. All the hopes. the aspira-
tions of the trade union movement ia
founded on complete organization Of
all labor in one union for protection.
There viii always be organizations Of
capital. Then the two great forces will,
without passion or excitement, treat
with each other through intelligent rep
resentatives, and when labor is thus,
or in some better manner, more thor
oughly and more compactly organized
and it is called on to cross lances with
capital, then one campaign, should.
like the war OF the rebellion, which did
away with slavery and more clearly
eliminated the states In one union. show
that labor is equal IL not superior in
strength to capital. and by reasons Of
this silent force there should be no more
conflicts Of yearly occurrence a. at
present. Then both labor and capital

sui carried a prisoner into the interior
of the country. It is also reported that
the consups wife and daughter have
been killed, but this is not credited.
Four ships will hasten with all speed
with the ostepsible purpose OF teaching
the Costa Ricans lesson. From the
haste with which the ships have been

LOTS OF GOLD IN THE KOOTENAY.
Prospects of q Large Increase OF the
: Present Output.

Up to this year, British Columbia
has owed Its reputation as p mining
country to the gold output of Cariboo
district; but this year will prove that
Kootenay is not only British Colnm-
bias greatest silver-and- lead produce
ing district. butt that It has lwrested
from Cariboo the palm; Of being the
greatest gold-producing district of the
province, says the Nelson Tribune.
The gold output of Cariboo comes from
gravel mines; none, so far, coming
from quartz mines. The output OF
Kootenay is mainly from quartz mines.
and as quartz mining in Kootenay Is
not fairly commenced, the present out
put is. likely to be greatly exceeded
IN the near future. Gravel mining
gives employment to few men. and at
hest, is not a lasting industry. Quartz
mining. necessarily gives employment
to q large number Of men. and the in
dustryl is a lasting one. The gold out
put OF Kootenay will this year approx

HUMAN DETECTIVES.
Mstnssds of Treatment Suggested For Ger
tain Classes of Public Dependents.

Hfstn.,ds OF Treatment Suggested For Ger
tain Glasses of Public Dependents.
DIR. James w. Walk, in lecture on
Detectives" before the University of
Pennsylvania, defined the detectives as
those members of society having serious
mental or physical defects, either con-
genital or acquired. This group COM
prised six classes--first, the blind; Sec
ond, the deaf mutes; third, insane;
fourth, the feeble minded, or idiots;
fifth, the inebriates-- where drunken
ness has become disease and sixth,
the epileptics.
DR.. Walk took up each of these class
es and stated what he believed to be
the best way to deal with them. Of the
blind and deaf he said: blind, deaf
and feeble minded children have as
much claim to an education as others,
and since their defects prevent them
from receiving it in the ordinary public
schools it is only just that they should
be instructed in schools especially adapt
ed to their condition. Such schools are
also most economical investment of
public money, for by means of the train
ing they give the great majority of the
blind and deaf mutes become self sup
porting in adult life.
ITO fit blind children for self support
it is necessary that their discipline
while at school should be rigid, SO as to
impart thoroughness in the practice of
the few industries, such as weaving and
music, which are open to them. The
managers of the best schools for the
blind now insist upon this rigid train
ing, and in this way sometimes incur
unpopularity among those who do not
understand their real motive.
''For those of the adult blind who
cannot maintain themselves in open
competition with normal workmen
there should be founded in each state
industrial homes where they may reside
and labor, the deficiency in their earn
ing being supplied by benevolence.
Where such homes are well conducted
they are nearly self supporting.
"Under the stimulus of the popular
interest excited by the eloquent adj
dresses of the great philanthropist, Doro-
thea Dix, Pennsylvania many years ago
undertook to make adequate provision
for the insane at public expense. The
first institution for their care in the
commonwealth was the insane depart
ment of the old Pennsylvania hospital.
We have now many asylums for these
people, but not enough yet to accommo-
date them all. Asylums should be so
regulated that the inmates can work
and be self supporting.
DR.. Walk thought that idiots, or the
feeble minded, should not be permitted
to marry. Of epileptics he thought the
same, as their defects are hereditary.
Inebriates should be confined for long
period, during which they would be
forced to abstain totally. This treat
ment, he said, results often in perma
uent cure. ---Philadelphi Press.
