A SORRY SPECTACLE.

The announcement that the arbitra-
ton of the Bering sea controversy be-
tween the United States and England
has proved 10 be failure as to satisfy
ing either of the parties thereto, is not
much Of surprise. Settlement of the
contention was submitted to arbitration
in the first place In the interest, it was
alleged, of present peace more than with
the expectation that any basis of COM
promise would prove satisfactory to both
or either of the countries in interest.
The contention of the United States was
based upon its acquisitions, through pur-
chase, from Russia, whose ownership
and control of the disputed domain and
adjacent waters was never questioned
by any power. If this government had
asserted and defended its rightful claim
TO all that Russia had held and exer-
cised, such right would long since have
been conceded and a contention that
now promises never to be settled peace-
ably, averted. The moment this couu-
try agreed to arbitrate the question it
admitted that England had ground for
claim, and that point gained she was
placed on an equal footing with us, and
in the position that has won for her the
widespread dominion and control of
the earth and the fullness and wealth
thereof.
As far as this country is concerned,
the situation presents sorry spectacle.

SHE KEPT A VARIED SUPPLY.

From the Detroit Free Press.
At eight o'clock the other evening a
bareheaded plainly-dressed woman
about forty-five years of age walked
into Grand River avenue drug store
and asked:
Has man been in here within an
hour and asked for poison?'
"No, ma am," was the reply.
Rather small man, with red goatee
and freckled face?"
81 don't remember any such man.
''Got squeaky voice, and he'd tell
you that he was tired of life and longed
for rest?"
'No; no such man has been in here,
ma am.

band. Every week or two he tries to
bluff me, and when he finds he can't
do it he threatens to poison himself

''Yes'm.'
'He'll begin to blow about me while
you are putting it up, saying as how I
make life miserable and full of woe,
and that he has decided to die"
'Yes'm.''
Then he'll begin to shed tears and
claw off and say perhaps he'd better
make one more effort to live with me,
and the result will be that he'll walk
out and leave you ten cents out of

''Yes. you'd better. He's played that

FULL OF FIGHT.
n the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
Dore Lawton has spent some time in
the island of Ceylon. Speaking of
cheetahs,'' he said, II want to tell you
story of battle between English
mastiffs and a thorough bred Ceylonese
eheetah
There is a very general impression
that the cheetah and the royal Bengal
tiger are just about the same thing,
but this isn't So The main difference
In them is that the former is not SO
bloodthirsty as the latter. Right down
in his heart he is not man-eater. but
he can digest that kind of meat when
occasion requires. AS rule he will
give the human brotherhood a wide
berth. but if you corner him there is no
telling how hard he can fight. Stir
him UP and he will make the
fur fly in fast and furious fashion.
He has been known to lie in wait
along the mountain roads for human
prey. but these instances are rare, and
his manivorous taste is not very highly
developed. There are many authentic
statements recorded where cheetahs.
at certain seasons of the year, have
appeared in the mountain villages.

been lighted for cooking purposes on
the hard earth floors of the rude huts.

Without reference 10 the merits OF the
measure, it is hoped the opponents OF
the Bland seigniorage coinage bill will
insist upon the presence of quorum
pending its consideration. Fact is,
something ought to be done to compel
the attendance of members at all ses-
sions, unless unavoidably detained
away. Absenteeism as it is practiced
by many of the representatives is a
crime against the public. If it cannot
be stopped in any other way, the system
of paying fixed salaries should be
changed to the per diem plan, with a
rule to dock absentees when their alb
sence Is caused by private business or
pleasure, as is most frequently the case.
Representatives are elected and sent to
congress to attend to the peoples busi-
ness and they have no more right to
neglect duty than has the employe of an
individual or corporation, without good
and sufficient excuse.

MORTGAGE STATISTICS.

The tabulation of about fve-sixths of
the real estate mortgage debt of the
United States has been completed and a
summary for thirty-three states and ter
ritories in which this debt is found is
contained in extra bulletin No. ga, is
sued by the census bureau. In 1880 the
incurred debt was $3.50, 64O, $50, and in
1890 81, ,3S1, ,6S4, $50. an increase during
the ten years of 156 per cent.
Upon separation of the deb. upon acre
tracts from that OIL lots both the rate
and amount of increase have been
greater in the debt of lots than on acres.
In 1880 there were 90, FOG. 1884 acres and
319, ,513 lots mortgaged; in 1890 the acres
incumbered were AZ, $50. .311, and lots
997, ,263.
During the ten year period debt of
So. .469. 176, ,O8l was incurred, represented
by 6,947, 113; mortgages 80 per cent OF
which debt was on acre tracts and 81
per cent on lots.
The real estate mortgage debt existing
Jan. 1. 1890, was "a, 935, 455, ,s96. of which
"a per cent was on acres and &c per cent
on lots.
The bulletin contains table showing
the per capita of debt of the thirty-three
states and territories. New York state
leads with $685.; Massachusetts,. $144;
Silt; Connecticut, 51O1;
Rhode Island, SlO6: District of Columbi;,,
1926, which figures show that the money
lending states east are worse of, relative
ly, than the borrowing @ states of the
west, and if the records could be had as
they exist today, after three years OF
successful debt paying in the west, the
would be decidedly more favor
able to this section, all the misrepresen-
tation and downright lying of envious
and interested calumnietors to the con-
trary.
This mortgage business has been
great bugbear to many in the past, but
the numerous injuries from investors for
real properties in the west indicates that
it has lost its terrors.

If the ruling of the Topeka judge that
the reform school for boys was estab-
lished and has been maintained with
authority and constitutional law, and
that the youth in that institution cannot
be held against the wishes of parents or
guardians, the next step in the matter Of
controlling refractory boys under 16
years would seem to be to adopt the
birching system. 1t is argued, and not
without force, that to confine young
boys in common prison would have
the effect to harden them to corrective
influences and thus confirm their crimi-
nal inclinations rather than cure them or
restrain such propensities, as it is be-
lieved the iudicicus use of the rod
would. The question is an important
one and merits serious consideration.

ers were borne of one by one. At
tempts to shoot the intruder failed.
Two English mastiffs, belonging to .
neigh boring planter. were invited over
and placed in the piggery Dawson,
his neighbor and myself wrapped our
selves in heavy coats, for the nights in
those parts are very chilly. and climbed
INTO crows nest, which had been
built IN tree top near by. The early
hours OF the night were as dark az
Erebus and Jagged painfully. the op-
pressive stiffness being now and then
broken by the cry of some wild
denizen of the jungle Toward
one o'clock the pale light of the
moon fiickered through the sdense
foliage. Cooped up in the nest, we
were half asleep, when. with a cat-like
screech, magnificent cheetah bound
ed over the palings of the inclosure,
and for an instant crouched to take a
survey of the situation.
1.-THE mastiff closest the outside. and
very near as large as the cat, bounded
at him, and was struck dead with a
single blow from from the cheetah,
which then quietly approached the
pen. The other mastiff, female.
doubiy enraged at the fate of her
mate, with a terrific growl fastened
her fangs deep in the throat of the
cat. A red-hot fight followed. With
screeches, Kisses and growls the cat
and dog rolled over and over. the
cheetah making desperate efforts to
break the dogs hold, but it was no go.
The mastif had come to stay. Daw-
son got down from the nest in
quick order, and with well-aimed pis.
tol shot sent the cheetah to his last,
long home. The dog was horribly in
jured. it having been literally disem.
boweled by the claws of the great cat.
She was sent by rail to the Marine
hospital at Colombo, sewed up and
carefully nursed back to health. The
cheetah measured seven and one
half feet from the end of his nose
to the tip of his tail, and was about the
largest ever killed in that district.
Il tell you, sir, the cheetah is a cat
from away back. No dog is anything

HOW THkY KISS TIE BOOK

From the New York Record.
kiss the book"
If the ghosts of these spoken words
could materialize into any Tangible
form, the police courts in town would
be jammed so full that court business
would have to be transacted on the out
side.
5 1t is the inevitable wind-up to the
administering OF the oath.
''You solemnly swear" says the
clerk, 'that m-m-m- m struth, whole
truth, s'elp you God. Kiss the book" :"
and then the witness touches the Bible
with his lips. That is there is pre-.
tense at osculation by those who have
become familiar with the oath, and il
is only the novices who really do more
than ''go through the motions
The cover of the sacred volume, from
continuous daily handling, has gener
ally accum ulated mass of oleaginous
CRIME. The gilded cross which, whep
the book was new, adorned each cover,
has long since been kissed away, and
n othing remains but the dull imprint.
and this is the spot touched by the lips
of the devout Roman Catholics called
as witnesses.
The Hebrew escapes this enforced
OSCILLATION, as do the free-thinkers and
others who affirm, but the rank and
file fall into line in various ways.
The policemen, detectives and those
who are familiar with court procedure
avoid direct observance of the com.
mand. The policeman follows az
esta ablished custom of bringing the
book up to the mouth and then i'm.
printing kiss upon his big thumb,
which is upon the side of the book hid
den from the justice. The policeman
with the large mustache brushes the
volume against it as he takes an oath.
Others in the blue uniform shove the
edge of the Bible under the lower LIP
with an easy gesture which serves a.
well as smack.
The shrinking girl who is over.
wrought and nervous at her brusqus
contact with the forms of law, will
raise the volume in her trem bling hand
and plant a resounding kiss upon the
cover strong enough to take off a piece
of the bark. Other pretty maidens
sweep their rosy lips over the cover,
they were bidding modest lover
goodnight" at the door and Were
afraid that papa would hear"
Longshoremen, draymen and other
vigorous out-of-door chaps take the in
junction of the court literally, and one
of their unctuous kisses has beer
known-so It's said-to start team OF
horses in motion block away.
Nervous individuals, at the giveS
command. are prone to duck Their
heads as they lean over and salute ths
book as it lies upon the desk. instead OF
raising it gracefully to the mouth.
In many instances justices refuse te
allow women witnesses 70 kiss sths
book through their wells, so they must
raise 'em before the oath is admins
tered, no ''sifted" or strained" kisses
being allowable.
The trembling lips of aged mother,
falteringly touch the soIled covers
upon which drop stray tears as they
testify against drunken, british hus
bands or wayward sons. Others han
die the volume with reversut touch
and kiss it with an air that prepossesse'
one in favor of the testimony they maJ
give. But the majority OF witnesses
view it merely as dirty book

The gold output of the mines of the
United States for 1898 was fully one
fourth of that of the entire world, and
the largest on record. OF course the
gold standard advocates will use this as
an argument in support of that theory.
If that volume of production could be
maintained indefinitely and the whole
Of it retained in this country there might
be some force to the argument, but there
is no assurance of the former, and we
all know the latter cannot be done.
