SITS ON ELLIOTT.
David Starr Jordan Says He Knows
Nothing About Seals.

Palo Alto. Cal, Aug. 26-Dr. Jordan,
president of Stanford university says
that the opinion of his friend, Prof. Ell
lott, relating to the branding of seals is
entitled to no especial notice because
Elliott knows nothing whatever about
the subject
''As a matter of fact" he added, ''the
branded sealskin in the possession of the
treasury department was burned while
the pup wore it's black coat. After the
wound had healed and had been replaced
by the new coat, which corresponds to
that of the adult seal, it was killed and
skinned.
There is no question that it is perfect
1y feasible to brand the seals and that
the brand will remain permanently as it
does a horse or COW. One man can
brand pups at the rate of LOCO a day. The
brand will grow with the growth of the
animal. The water hair will hide it to
some extent, but the part of the skin, on
which it appears is permanently spoiled
for the furrierS' purposes.
1.-THE adult seals can also be branded
without injury, but they are not to be so
easily handled. AS to the notion that
handling the animals will frighten them
and drive them off to some other island
there is no foundation for it. They mind
it no more than sheep being sheared."

WHAT IS EQUALITYP

What is equality? In what sense,
says Henry Childs Merwin in the Sep
tember Atlantic, can men be called
equal, when we consider what vast diff
ferences there are between them in
respect to character. intellect, educa-
tion and refinement? Two men are
equal when they meet freely and pleas
antly, without condescension on one
side or suspicion on the other, and
when the consideration which each
shows for the other is not dependent
upon or qualified by the station or out
ward circumstances of either. This
condition prevails in some New Eng
land towns. especially in those remote
from the railway, and I presume that
it prevails also in most parts of the
west. In such communities, every man
who is not a criminal or an outcast does
feel himself to be in a very real sense
the equal of every other man. Wealth
though it is respected as a source of
power-is never thought of as confer
ring social position;' in fact, that hid
eous phrase is not found in the rural
vocabulary; and as to the word "snob,"
it would be difficult to make its mean
ing understood among the people whom
] have in mind. Among them an en-
ployer of labor would of course expect
those whom he employed to obey his
orders; but it would strike him as ludi-
crous beyond expression that his hired
man should wear a particular kind of
dress, touch his hat when he was spoken
to, and in general comport himself as
if he belonged to an inferior order. I'm
der such conditions want of respect is
undoubtedly carried too far, but equal
ity is attained; and that self-respect
which the feeling of equality produces
makes the best members of the COM
munity equal to any society; it gives
them simplicity and sincerity. Take
them to New York or Boston, and no
magnificence or display, no society of
rich or eminent persons, will put them

LIBRARY FOR THE BLIND.
The New Congressional Library to
Have a Department.

Washington, Aug. 26.-There will be
a novel department in the new con-
gressional library when it is entirely
completed and ready for business. 1t
will be a section solely for the blind,
and will have nothing in it but books
with raised letters, so that they can in
dulge their intellectual tastes just as
we'll as those readers who can see. A
qualified attendant will be put in
charge of the blind department.
Mr.. Young stated today that he got
his idea of providing raised letter books
for the blind some time ago, and that
he had determined to carry it out. He
was certain there would be no difficult
ty in its realization. There are a num-
Der of volumes with raised letters in
the old library, but, owing to the
crowded condition existing there, it
was impossible to provide suitable
means for the ones who wished to con-
suit them.
In addition to the books for the blind
which are in the old place and which
have accumulated there ever since the
raised letter system was invented, Mr..
Young will provide others, so that prac-
tically all literature of this kind will
be included in this section of the libra
ry set aside for the purpose.
Letters have been written to the
heads of institutions for the blind and
lists of publications obtained. These
will be embodied in a suitable cata-

CHILDREN PARALYZED.
Parents and Physicians Anxious
About a Disease Which Pre-
walls in HackenSack

Hackensack, Aug. 26. - Considerable
anxiety has been caused among parents
and physicians here by a disease among
young children. General attention was
directed to it last week by she serious
illness of Harold Adams, the young son
of DR.. c. F. Adams. The child was unable
to speak swallow, and examination
showed that his throat was paralyzed.
A specialist from New York city was
called in consultation. Today the condi-
ton of the boy was much improved. DR..
G. Howard McFadden has had four cases
similar to that of young Adams during
the past few weeks. All his patients were
girls. In each of these cases the paraly>
sis followed intermittent fever. In the
case of the daughter of Deputy Sheriff
Blauvelt the limbs of the patient were eff
fected. The doctors were unable to ac-
count for the disease.

CHALK FROM ENGLAND.
Boston Firm the Only Importers of
This Commodity in New England

Boston, Aug. 26.-The cargo of 1,13O
tons of chalk which has just arrived in
this port on the first schooner ever seen
in these waters flying the Hawaiian
flag, the four masted steel schooner
Americana, while apparently very
large, is but small part of what is
annually received by one Boston firm.
The remarkable thing about it is that
it should have come here from England
in a sailing vessel, as they rarely visit
this port from foreign parts, owing to
the uncertainty of getting return car
go, the great freighting business be-
ing monopolized by the steamships
The Americana, it is believed, had the
promise of a cargo from here to South
America, and that was the inducement
to carry the chalk, which is light and
bulky.
The consignees, who are the only i'm
porterS of chalk in New England, have
been in the business for more than 80
years, and manufacture at their mills
between 5000 and 5000 tons annually,
estimating 2,240 pounds to the ton. The
chalk all comes from the bank of the
River Thames, and it is obtained no
where else in large quantities. When
received in its crude form remarkable
flint fossils are some times found, US
ually the remains of fish. Once the
fossil of the hip bone of human being
was discovered in a great layer of
chalk excavated for this firm.

800 LAWYERS GATHER
To Participate in the Meeting of the
American Bar Association.

Cleveland, Aug. 26.-The American Bar
association was called to order at Asso-
citation hall this morning, with an attend
ance of nearly 800 delegates. President J..
Nj. Wolworth of Omaha, delivered ad-
dress to the association, which was listen
ed to with marked attention.
President Woolworth introduced Samuel
F. Hunt of Cincinnati, the representative
of the State Bar association, Judge
Hunts address was largely one of con-
graduation, that Ohio had been selected
as the meeting place of the national as
sociation. The salient feature of his ad-
dress was that our legislative bodies are
occupied rather with the refinements of
civilization, than with the fundamental
questions of government. There is need
of the good and strong and stalwart in
every part of the land to preserve the es-
tablished principles of our national life.
Virgil P. Kline was expected to deliver
the address of welcome on behalf of
Cleveland but failed to appear and James
H. Hoyt took his place.
