Car Conductor
A woman gave a conductor on a

this coin has been filled and I'd like
to have "A good one"
That's good money" retorted the
nickel snatcher, with a look that
showed he had expected just such an
outcome. Il took it for good stuff. and
you'll have to do the same"
The woman dropped the defective
piece of money into her purse, SAYS the
Chicago II ibune, muttering something
inaudible. but allowing a look To spread

trouble ahead for that conductor. And
there was. When he got off and ran
ahead to see that the Milwaukee track
was clear, his victim removed her big
wooden fascinator, pulled off her inn
mense cloak, turned it inside out. made
a muff of it; and changed her seat To
the other end of the car.
Fare, said the conductor. opening
the door with bang. He had failed to
see through the transformation and

little woman as she fished out the
identical silver dime which she had
been forced to take.

ago that it was good money and now
want you to make it good or Ill under

HIDES AND LEATHER ADVANCED.
Utah SIauGhterers Are Not, How
ever, Receiving the Benefits.

Utah SIaughterers Are Not, How
ever, Receiving the Benefits.
For the past several months the ad-
vance in the price of hides and leather
of all grades and classes has been
steady and material, until today these
products are selling higher than for
over ten years past. Utah slaughter
ers are not receiving anywhere near
the full benefits of these advances,
however, for the reason that they
have contracted their hides to east
ern houses, at prices not in keeping
with the present tone of the market.
of course, this is not the case with
all of the slaughterers, but it is with
the majority, and the same may also
be said of the other handlers of hides.
1t is anticipated that the advances in
the raw products will materially af-
feet the price of shoes. AS a matter
of fact, all of the new stock is now
selling a higher prices than hereto
fore, and one Of the dealers predicts
that the advance will be something
like 90 per cent before many months.
unless there is let up of the present
conditions. All other leather goods are,
of course, equally affected by the adj
vance in the quotations on hides and
leather.
Inquiry as to the cause oil this IN
crease of price shows that so far the
cattle-raiser is the only one who is
beng directly benefited by it. When
cattle on the hoof reached their low
est price in the Chicago market, a
couple of years ago, many stock
raisers let their cattle die on the
ranges in preference to paying the
high price for feed and freight.
When the price of live stock began
to advance in Chicago, which practi-
cally controls the cattle and hide
market, there was a responsive in
crease throughout the land. This adj
vance in price kept on, and today has
reached the highest notch known for
many years.
A prominent dealer in hides said
yesterday that this increase was due
entirely to the lack of cattle in the
country. ''Raisers,'' said he, ''Iet
their stock die on their hands in
preference to losing money. The ma
tural increase since the advance in
price has not been sufficient to have
any effect on the market. and it will
be three years more, at least, before
any material reduction viii be made
in the price of stock. Chicago governs
the hide and leather market of the
country, and the price of hides in the
United States is determined by the
rate in the Chicago market"

Nobody can do this who has dys-

can be summoned? If you are going
to any lOcality-a remote country
farm house or new settlement, for
instance, where it is not readily pro-
durable, provide yourself in advance
with an adequate supply. An I'M
accustomed diet is very apt to pro-
duce dyspeptic qualms. so is brackish
water aboard ship and the eating of
acid fruits. ForestaI further en-

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
HILBORN PLACES
HIMSELF ON RECORD.
He Has just Returned From the
IsIands-The Whites Are More
IlIiteratc Than the I%anakas-
The Government an OIigarchy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Con
/ Hawaii today, has placed himself on
record as opposed to the annexation of
the islands to the United States. In
| discussing the question, he said: Il
can freely say that [ do not believe it
would be wise thing for this country
to undertake, at least while the pres
ent conditions prevail.
The population consists chiefly of
Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese,
with a small proportion of American
or English speaking people. The per
cent of illiteracy is much greater
among the whites than among the
Kanakas. and perpleXing questions as
TO what kind of government this coun-
| try should extend to the islands would
confront us. and who of that mixed
people should be given the franchise
void also have to be determined The
present government is not satisfactory
/ to a majority of the people there, es-
pecially the natives. 1t is practically
an oligarchy. and the idea of a repub-
/ lie on such lines is laughed at. 1t is
not popular and its safety is men,
aced as it stands. The great mass have
no voice except in the election of the
| lower house. The senate is elected by
/ the property holders, who represent
! but a few thousand of the people, and
many of them are more illiterate than
the natives. Much respect is shown to
! President Dole He is considered able
and conscientious, and is generally
/ liked. The Japanese are the most ag-
gressive and most to be feared. They
quickly learn the ways and take every
advantage. They have driven many
/ Portuguese traders out of business and
are much like the Chinese here. They
import everything from Japan and
spend little on the islands.
1.-THE wisest thing this country could
do regarding the islands would be to
form some close reciprocal treaty
which would give them the same ad-
vantages as our states and insure
their markets for us. They would, of
course, be required TO put tax upon
all imports from other countries which
come in competition with our products
If this is done and we extend a pro-
tectorate over the islands, both coun-
tries would derive the advantage OF
annexation, while they would be al
lowed to govern themselves as they
saw fit. But as things are going now
L believe the queen will be restored to
her throne before long"
On the question of a Pacific cable
Mr. Hilborn said eff there is a cable
laid at any time in the near future it
will have to be built by this country.
1t would not pay any private party to
build it. I believe, though, it would
pay this government. The Pacific will,
in some emergency, be the rendezvous
for the navies of the world, and tele-
graphic communication with Honolulu
will be a great saving TO US in huand-
ling our ships. This would be consid-
cradle revenue besides and | would
vote fayorably on the proposition

NO CAUSE FOR uNEAsrNEss.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The with
drawaI today of s., $4,000 in gold from
the sub-treasury in New York is not
regarded by the treasury officials as
cause for uneasiness.
Since February last the bond syndi-
Gates, it is said has fully demonstrated
its ability 90 protect the gold reserve
from any serious encrOachments, and
it is not doubted that today's with
drawals could have been prevented
had such a course been deemed at all
necessary to save an impairment of
the public confidence. SO far as is
known here, there are no indications of
further Withdrawals, but even should
they continue for a short time, the
treasury officials say they would not
feel disturbed in consequence. They
argue that the autumn shipments to
Europe of grain and other farm pro-
ducts are certain to set in late in fthe
present month and continue through
November, with the result that the
movement will be toward the United
States
