A rRopLNM IN soc1oLoaY.

Some time ago, after publishing an
article on the sad case of 1.-THE Unem-
p.oyed In Pail MaE," l received a very
pathetic letter from q lady, who claimed
to represent a class of unemployed per-
haps the most deserving Of all. / have
kept this letter by me for three or focr
weeks, in the hope of arriving at some
practical suggestion for the relief OF
such cases as 1t describes. But the prob
lem Is too hard for me. The writer is
one of the numerous daughters Of an
officer, left with an income insufficient to
keep her in decency, and at so years of
age she finds every field of employment
closed to her, simply because she is 80.

ORIGIN OF EXPRESS BUSINESS.

The express business, which now covers
the world, sprung from a trivial sug-
gestion which a man was wise enough
to adopt and develop
Mr.. Adams and the iate Captain Colt
of Norwich were close friends and the
former often sailed with the captain on
his voyage between New York and Nor
v ich. On one of these journeys Mr..
Adams said to Captain Colt:
II wish could find something to do"
The captain with his well known busi-
ness readiness, replied: do you see
those bundles and packages in the berth
of my stateroom? Their number Is in
creasing with every trip; they are in the
way, and the care and attention | have
to give them consumes more time than
I can afford. Suppose you collect ana
take charge Of these private packages
for fair compensation. 1 think you can
easily build up a paying business"
Mr.. Adams was not Sow to grasp the
idea and embrace the offer. From this
obscure and insignificant beginning
sprung the Adams Express Company"
The first express contract made by Mr.
Adams from Boston to New York is
among Capt. Cout's papers.-lsx.

HER PRIDE
Was Conquered and Her Heart Softenet
By a Little Poem.

New York Sun.
There is such thing as trying too
hard to accomplish difficult purpose"
said gentleman from New York yester-
daN II have just had an experience
in my own city which has taught me
to believe that all things are possible II
we are only patient and wait for the op-
portunity to accomplish them. Indirect
means often prove much more potent
than methods which would appear to
have more force My experience was
in making a reconciliation between hus-
band and wife who had decided to dis
agree and had filed divorce papers.
was great friend Of husband and wife,
and the breach that was widening day by
day worried me considerably, as 1 knew
there was no just reason why they should
not live together. The wife took her
child, goiden-haired blue-eyed boy OF
g. and went to a fashionable seaside re-
sort, and there plunged into the widest
sort of gayety, seeming to be as happy
as mortal could be. The husband had
also gone to a pleasure resort, and he,
too, sought to hide the grief in his heart
by entering into all the pleasures of the
large crowd of associates who were So
journing at the same resort. All this
time he had many conversations with me.
In which he confessed his unhappiness
and asked me to use my influence to
alter his wife's determination. AS
was going to the resort at which his
wife was stopping told him 1 would use
my opportunity.
Shortly after my arrival l broached
TIE subject, but met with such determined
opposition from the wife that l was
forced to abandon my purpose for the
time. But again and again did 1 try
to soften her heart but each time she
seemed to grow colder. saw that there
was no possibility Of reaching her heart
in a direct manner so 1 conceived an
idea which was put into execution shortly
after.
1T was at a dinner party was called
upon for toast. l regretted my inability
to provide one, but said that instead l
would recite poem written by broken
hearted friend Of mine. The wife was
sitting opposite to me, and l had good
opportunity to watch her as 1 read a
poem which 1 had written, which revealed
the feelings such as 1 would have had
If 1 had been in the husbands place.
The whole crowd was affected by it; the
situation was novel, and l used this to
intensity the dramatic effect Before the
poem had been finished tears cleaned
in the eyes of the wife, Having been
successful so far I followed up the ad-
vantage gained and before the evening
was over pride and anger were overcome
by the little verses l had written"

SHORT INTERVALS OF PEACE

Only are vouchsafed to nerves weak and
unstrung, but when it is braced up ana
soothed by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
perfect tranquility reigns night and day
throughout, the nervous system. Ner-
vousness is equally a manifestation OF
chronic dyspepsia, disorder to the re-
lief of which the Bitters are peculiarly
adapted. In the general vigor begotten
of complete digestion and assimilation,
two functions aided by this auxiliary of
health, the nerves of course share. Ner-
vous people should use it steadily, not
at uncertain intervals. The bilious and
constipated, and those troubled with ma
,aria, rheumatism and kidney trouble,
also derive remarkable benefits from it.
The aged and infrm find that it tenls
greatly to lessen their physical troubles,
and persons slowly recovering strength
after an exhausting Illness convaiesce
more rapidly when it is resorted to. 1t

1.-THE Columbia river salmon pack for
1885," says the Interstate Grocer, Eek
ceeds the pack of any season during the
last decade, except those of 1885 and 1892
In 1885 the pack amounted to 55S,SOO cases
and in 1882, 502,SOO cases. This season it
amounts to 495 $50 cases, a shortage OF
about $1,000 cases from the high water
mark of 1885. The pack dwindled down
in 1889 to S25,5OO cases, during which year
standard brands of Columbia river salm-
on sold at $1.S5 ito 81 per dozen in st.
Louis, ON a jobbing basis, with Puget
sound and Alaska salmon from S1.45 to
$3.50. We mention this because some
of our brokerage friends who make a
speciality of the salmon business pre-
dicted cary in the season a heavy de-
crease in the pack. Salmon is selling
today in st. Louis, on a jobbing basis,
at 80 cents to 81 for Alaska and Puget
sound fish and $1.55 to $1.75 for we'll
known brands of Columbia river. 1t Is
cheap enough"

The crew of tine schooner st. Lawrence,

strke-the trouble all arising from the

that catches are not disposed of at the
best prices, and make the charge that
Capt Silas Calder disregards their re-
quests to get higher bids, but continues
selling to Ainsworth & Dunn, when others
are willing to pay more. One Of the
crow, on the arrival of the schooner last
Friday at Seattle, took it upon himself
to so to two other dealers for bids, and
claims that from one he received an offer
of cents a pound and from the other
~ cents, while in the face of this but
2 cents was received. This caused the six
men in. the crew to quit and the boat
will not leave until a new crew is Sc
cured. Captain Calder is owner of a small
interest in the st. Lawrence and Aims

By an accident the dredger Python Is
laid up with damages similar to those
sustained by the Anaconda some time
ego, says a Seattle paper. The suction
pipe has been cracked and, although not
entirely useless, will necessarily have to
be replaced by new one in short time.
The accident was caused by the men Qp-
Grating the hoisting machinery, who all
lowed steam to be turned on at an un-
expected moment, resulting in the large
ripe coming up out Of the water and
striking the braces Immediately above.
One Of these was torn away, but the
others held, and the pipe had to give.
1t was cracked in two or three places
toward the cutter end. The Anaconda was
at once put in position at the end of the
pipe line, and almost no delay resulted
from the accident. Sand has been stead
lily flowing, and up to last evening more
than 100 cubic yards had been lodged
behind the bulkhead line. The old chan
iel has at last fairly been crossed by the
bu.khead, and tomorrow's grst from the
dredger will finally stop the outflow with
the tide.

derwriters no end of trouble, as noted
elsewhere. is ashore up north, and ac-
cording to the captain, a total loss; she
was insured in the east or England. Her
cargo was hard to place, as she was
alleged to be badly loaded and overload
ed, street cars and steam launch being
on deck, loaded on top of lumber. Quite
a little notoriety was given the vessel
and the captain when she sailed and the
street rumors concerning the latter can
hardly be pleasing to that gentleman
when he hears them The fact that Cap
tain Metcaife has gone north in a char
tered tug supplied with wrecking appli-
ances, shows the underwriters, who dis
patched him in their interest, do not care
to trust the vessel and cargo to Captain
Woodside's unaided skill. The cargo
shipped from this port was valued at over
$50, ,O00 and considerable was taken on at
Astoria or Portland. The cargo for Ore
gon was safely delivered, and under-
writers on that are so much ahead. The
