The Coat and the Man.

The famous firm Poole & Co., Lon
don, denies the rumor that 1t Is about
to establish a branch house in New
York. We quote the London firm. as
it is reported by the New York Her
aid, the most snobbish, Anglican,
and un-American of newspapers
published i'm the United States:
We don't want to go to New York, because
il would cost too much to import the English
goods, and the price of American labor Is too
great. For the present we don't think the
new duty will make much diT erence, Tor our
American customers will order all The same,
tariff or no tariff.
We rejoice with what st. Paul des-
cribed az Joy u%nceasing and full Of
glory in the fact that when an
American man years a first-rate
American suit he wears the product
Of artiflcers that are paid better than
those in the employ of Poole d Co,
whose trade is by far more with the
American snobs than with English
peers. We understand, also, what
President Harrison meant when he
said "Too often IA cheap coat means
cheap man under it, Too often it
means n vulgar animal who il IA vul-
gar person who is anxious not for
real elegance, but for the trashy adj
vantage of saying MY clothes are
imported.
As the coolest matter Of fact, the
average AmeSican tailor makes "A
better fitting garment than the av-
erage English tailor. As the coolest
matter of fact, the average English
man years worse fitting clothes than
the average Frenchman, and the av-
erage Frenchman is incOmparably
worse clad than the average Ameri-
can. Following these facts to their
legitimate issue, the best dressed
American man is better dressed than
the best dressed foreigner. In sober
truth he is.
In no country OF the world has eN-
actness of detail and perfection of
mechanism followed or accompanied
grandeur or elegance Of conception
more closely than in the United
States. Leaving the grandeur of con-
ceptiOu of many of our engineering
works out of consideration, the IN
ter Oceans London correspondent,
Miss Krout, frequently has made
mention Of tho superior elegance of
American women in American-made
gowns, to those Of British women in
British or American made dresses.
The American woman has conquered
Europe. And so it would be with
the American man if he would stay
American when he is abroad. There
is not a great city in America that
has not its tailors who produce bet
ter fitting garments than the English
firm of Poole a. Go. But if an Amer
lean fool choose TO boasto of his Poole
made coat let him pay for his folly

THE editor of the American
Monthly Review Of Reviews makes
some pertinent comments on the re-
cent shooting Of striking miners by
deputy sheritfs at lattimer, Pa. He
shows that the local prejudice
against these foreiga-born laborers
was intense, that many Americans
who had worked in tile mines before
the foreigners came had drlfted into
other occupations in the Pennsyl-
vania towns and village, Of the coal
region, and thatthe mine owners had
brought Ia more lnborers than Were
needed, which helped to keep wages
close to the starvation point. These
conditions go far to account for some
OF tha deplorabIe doings at Lattimer.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-Lorin A.
Thurston, ex-minister of Hawaii to the
United States; arrived from the islands
today. Thurston, as president of the
Club of Honolulu, expects
to accomplish considerable missionary
work in aid Of the annexation move

he has not been sent here either by the
He says, however, that if the opportu-
nifty presents itself, he proposes to exert
his best efforts to aid the annexation
He says:
The all absorbing theme Of discus
sion in the islands just now in annexa-
tion. As the day for the Inauguration
of Mckinley approaches, interest in the
question is becoming in
tensified and widespread. The Annex
alton Club has been reorganized, and
now has membership of 5000. Of
this number, a third or fourth are
natives. The natives are joining the

nexation of the islands to the United
States is their only salvation from the
Japanese, who are elbowing them in
various fields of labor.
The census Of the islands has just
been completed. The census shows

castles and mixed races, $4,000 Japa-
nese. $1,000 Chinese, and $4,000

KILLED WITH AN AK.
A German Farmer Murdered by His
Partner.

Seattle, Feb. 16.-In the outskirts
of Eliot, a sparsely settled community
sixteen miles from Seattle, Edward
Folzke, German farmer, was killed
with an ak Friday evening, about 2
o'clock, and the perpetrator Of the
crime attempted to cover up his work
by dragging his victims body into the
house, to which he applied the torch.
The cabin was entirely destroyed, and
the dead mans fate is told by large
pool of blood outside the door and an
ak which shows blood stains and black
hair on, it. The sheriff and coroner
investigated the case this afternoon,
with the result that Andrew S. Kraus,
Folzke's partner, is locked up in the
county Jail, charged with murder and
arson. No one saw the crime commit
ted, hut circumstantial evidence is
strong against ;Kraus. The two men
had lived together for eight years, and
when sober were close friends but
when drunk they frequently quarreled.
Kraus denies all knowledge of the
crime, claiming he slept in cabin
some distance from the scene of the
murder. Blood spots were found on
his overalls.

ONE OF NATURES NOBLEMEN
A Rossland Miners Unpre-

AT THE RISK OF HIS OWN LIFE
ing Upon Two Men by Throwing
Himself Upon Whirring Windlass.

ing Upon Two Men by Throwing
Himself Upon a whirring Windlass.
Spokane, Feb. 15.-A rare act of
heroism, such as deserves to be recorded
in history and song, was performed at
Rossland, B. c., today, which saved the
lives of two miners and proved plain
Jim Hemsworth to be one of natures
noblemen.
Jem Smith and Frank Conson were
working at the bottom of narrow
shelf of the Yonng America mine, at a
depth of nearly $50 feet, engaged in
loading ore into an iron-bound bucket,
while Jim Hemsworth's duty consisted
in hauling the bucket to the surface by
means of a windlass. The heavy bucket
filled with ore, had almost reached the
top Of the shelf when the iron crank of
the windlass snapped in two like bit
of pine, hurting Hemsworth to the
ground.
Springing to his feet half dazed by
the blow, Hemsworth saw the windlass
whirring around at a frightful rate of
speed as the loaded bucket shot down
the shaft upon the men below He had
not second to lose. There was just
one chance to save them, and he took
that chance. Jumping forward, he
threw his body upon the cogs of the
whirring windlass, thrusting his arms
and shoulder between the swiftly re-
volving wheels. Their iron jaws
crunched and tore the flesh, crushed
nerves, bone and sinews, tore CHASTITY
wounds from fnger-tip to shoulder, but
the windlass stood still. With an
awful jerk the bucket stopped just
above the heads of the two men far
down the shaft.
Pale as death, with the blood flowing
in streams and suffering intense agony,
Hemsworth never uttered cry nor
even a sound, as the jaws Of the wheels
pinioned him fast as in vice. Super
intendent Shields, who witnessed the
accident from short distance away,
rushed to Hemsworth's aid and blocked
the machinery.
As Hemsworth staggered back and
was about to fall, Shields caught him
in his arms, at the same time exclaim-
ing: "My God, Jim! This is awfulp'
tOh, what's the difference?" replied
the plucky fellow, $50 long as I saved
tie boys?"
His wounds were dressed and the in
jured man made as comfortable as
could be under the circumstances. The
attending physicians are at this time
unable to state how serious Hens
worth's injuries are likely to result,
but unless he is hurt internally they
hope to save his life. His arm, how
ever, in all likelihood will have to be
amputated at the shoulder.

a Race with Death.

Chicago, Feb. I6.-Six men had a
race with death on the lake last night
and won by a hairs breadth. They
were the crew of the big supply tug A..
G. Vanraalte. This tug carries sup
plies to the crib off Sixty y-eighth street,
and while returning to her dock she
sprang leak while bucking tremen-
dous ice foe.
Then for three hours the six men bat
tied with the ice and faced death while
they were tryig to keep their boat
af1oat long enough to reach her dock.
The tug managed to get into Calumet
river, but the fire was dead. The men
were up to their knees in water. In
answer to signals of distress the fire.

crew ashore.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Citizens Of Elm
hurst, a small town twenty-five miles
west of here, burned to the ground the
large shed recently erected there by
Barney Zachariah, the Chicago gam
bier, in which poolselling, faro and
roulette had been conducted for.several
days. Almost every day 400 or 500
gamblers from Chicago visited the re-
sort. A few days ago the residents
raided the pollroom, but could find no
evidence of gambling. SIX men, how
ever, supposed to be connected with the
movement, were arrested. During
the night two watchmen were employed
to watch the place. Early yesterday
morning mob of indignant citizens at
tackled the building, and after driving
away the watchmen, set fire to the
building. The gamblers say they will
reopen as soon as another can be built.

Held I'm a Saloon.

Chicago, Feb. I7.-Four robbers
armed with revolvers entered j. Myers
saloon at Fourteenth street and New
berry avenue and held up the place.
The barroom was crowded with Gus
toners at the time, and the robbers or
dered every one to keep in the rear of
the saloon and hold up their hands.
No one attempted to disobey, and while
three of the men kept them covered
with pistols the fourth went through
the pockets of each man, securing sew
eral watches and some money. He
then took $15 from the cash register.
The men were driven into a small
room in the rear, and after fastening
the door, the robbers ran into the street
and escaped before the imprisoned VIC
Tins could release themselves.
