How Young Fellow Worked TO Reach
Auckland

AucklanQ.
A bright young fellow left his home in New
Zealand TO make his fortune in America, says
the Youths Companion He was an cleo
trician, well educated. but he could not find
employment in British Columbia, where he
landed Hewas equally yunsuccessfulinCa Cali
fornia. where he looked in vain for work and
spent his last dollar.
Thoroughly disheartened, he had only one
thought-to return to his home and friends in
New Zealand. In his desperation he applied
at the office of steamship company for per-
mission to work his passage to Auckland, but
metwith no encouragement Overcome with
homesickness and being at the end of his re-
sources, he resolved TO steal on board the
steamer and secret himself in the hold.
On the morning after the ship left San
Franciscothe stowaway was discovered and
turned over TO the mercies OF the captain.
He gave pathetic account ofhis run ofhard
luck in America, and told how anxious he
was TO reach home and how he offered to
work his passage.
''Oh, very welIl'' exclaimed the captain.
'.we''ll give you work as far as Honolulu.
Go down below among the fireman"
The stowaway shoyeled coal all the way to
Honolulu and was then ordered to leave the
work. He begged hard 10 be allowed TO re-
main on the ship as fireman, butthe officers
told him he was not worth his rations.
The ship coaled and continued her voyage
TO the South seas. When she wasout of sight
OF land the young man suddenly appeared
on deck and touched his hat to the captain.
He had secreted himself a second time in the
hole while the ship was in port.
at had no money, captain" he said,
apologetically, land was dreadfully home
sick couldn't endure seeing the ship sail
away without me-"
The captain was very angry and sent him
below again 10 shovel coal with the firemen.
Whenthe ship arrived inSamoa thestowaway
wassent ashore with warning that close
watch would be kept, and that it would be
useless for him to attempt to steal on board
the third time.
The ship sailed and he did not Teappear.
The precautions taken by the officers had
rendered il impossible for him to get on
board. But what was the astonishment OF
The captain when the ship was moored at
Auckland, as a CHEEKY voice from the
wharf gave him this greeting:
Good morning, captaini The Canadian
steamer came in ahead of you. / thought
you would be glad 10 know l wasat home -
The Canadian steamer had anchored off
Samoa n few hours after the other steamer
sailed. The homesick storker embarked as
a stowaway and worked his way as a
fireman.
Well said the captain, II must say you
were plucky."

The Decline in Cotton From Mr..
La Bovisse's Standpoint.
PAPER THAT ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
He Takes Up the Question OF Ratio and
Makes an Argument for the RsIIa-
biiitation of Silver as the
Only Redemption

ATLANTA, April s0.-The Constitution
publishes this morning. an able and ex.
haustive article on the decline in the
price of cotton, from the pen of Mr.. ].
W. LaBoyisse. president of the New
Orleans cotton exchange Mr.. La
bovisse is one of the most prominent
business men of this country and is an
eminent authority on all matters per-
tanning to cotton. Mr.. LaBovisse ad-
dresses himself particularly to Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson's article in the April
Forum or THE Battle Of the Standards
and the Fall OF Prices" to show that
the decline in the price of cotton is not
due to cheaper production.
The president Of the New Orleans
cotton exchange gives the total crop
and the average of cotton the world
over since 1912. He shows that during
period Of twelve years preceding the
war between the states. the cotton crop
OF the world increased nearly 50 per
cent and the average price advanced
more than so per cent. This increase
in price coupled with the largely in
creased production, he attributes to the
increased output OF the mines of Cali.
fornia and Australia. Mr.. LaBovisse
contrasts with this period, the crop and
prices OF 1898 and '94. The crop OF 1895
end '94, li,609, 900 bales. showed an in
crease OF nearly 73 per cent oyer the
crop Of 1896. The price during the
later period declined so per cent. This
fall in the price Of cotton, he points
out Is due to the contraction in the
volume OF metallic legal tender money
of the world. Mr.. LaBovisse fails L
see anything benefcent in the fall O
prices of crops to the farmer when hi
mortgage has remained stationary
He show that the price Of gold is fla
because the mints the world over ar,
required to buy all gold offered at
fixed price. Mr.. LaBovisse takes NJ
the question Of ratio and other points
making clear and strong argumen
throughout for the rehabilitation o
silver as a money OF final redemption
The statistics which he presents ar
very complete and Of exceptional value
The paper is one which will certainl
attract much attention from the dis
putants on both sides of the financia

in demeriting the young men and

million pious, earnest, Cody and irreproacha-

unfrocked and deposed from the high position
which he has so relentlessly disgraced. We
are encouraged to make this petition from the
many protestations which you. us well as the
Holy See you ably represent, have recently

that you will give 1t immediate and careful
consideration.
