Another Use for Paper

By degrees we are attaining to the cheap
and universal use of paper which Japan
and China learned several centuries ago.
We have heard Of paper railway wheels
and paper mache racing boats are to be
seen at every Henley, but the latest de-
velopment is the successful invention OF
paper sails for ships This new substitute
for canvas opens up vista of gorgeous
possibilities. Merchant ships will, OF
course, fly colored posters advertising their
owners goods from every hallfard, and
lists of prices will be legibly displayed on
royals and top-gallants. The hostile meet
ing of a pair of auxiliary cruisers will be
far more picturesque when the Yankee
skipper bears down upon his foe with "yel-
low" journal headlines straining in the
breeze, while the Spanish commodore APP
proaches flying all the leading articles of
the Impartial. There is no reason for the
invention to stop here, though a paper
bomb exploding on the lower deck and
scattering lethal paragraphs in all direct.
ions would probably have to be put down
as contrary to the dictates of humanity
and the law of nations. But paper sails, at
least, are harmless and can be easily sup
piled. We always thought some newspa-
pers were merely wind-bags. Now is their
chance for rapidly increasing circulation
by furnishing naval stores" to both the
rival powers.-St James Gazette.

PACIFIC COAST HUMMERS
Handsome Exhibit in the Chamber of
Commerce

The chamber of commerce exhibit room
has had its attractions increased by a case
of humming birds, their eggs and their
enemies, mounted and placed on exhibition
by j. August Kusche of this city. The col
lection includes all the hummers known on
this coast, from Oregon to Lower Califor-
MIA. They are perched on an artificial
branch of an apple tree in blossom, sur
rounded with fac-smiles of the plants and
flowers of the locality where found. The
enemies of these irridescent little creatures
of the air are the swift-footed weasel
moths Of various kinds, caterpillars, beetles
tarantulas and scorpions. The case is sur
mounted by bird as beautiful as the hum
mer in It's plumage, with crest resembling
that of the California mountain quail. This
is a specimen of the Himalayan mountain
pheasant of which there Is said to be but
one other In the United States.
Mr.. Kusche has a collection of two hun
dred speciments of the other birds OF the
Pacific coast which he will place on exhi-
bition IL the chamber of commerce will pro-
vide cases.
Harrison and Dickson have returned their
broom exhibit to the chamber Of commerce,
which was removed for some time to the
hall Of industry.
A meeting of the Pioneer society was held

insurance Commissioner Belts of Con-
necticut, in Part III. of his report Just is
sued deals with fraternal societies After
saying that proper steps have not been ta-
ken looking towards reform of the meth
DDS of secret societies or fraternities, and
referring to consequent abuses, the COM
missioner says:
1t is disgrace that the laws of this state
should permit the promotion of such incom-
petent schemes, but such is the number
and power of these societies and the ig-
norance of the majority of legislators upon
the technical matters that the insurance
departments have not been able to have
protests considered. This criticism does
not apply to those secret orders such as
Masons, Odd Fellows, and the like, where
In the insurance feature is limited to a mere
burial fund or temporary relief. But it
does apply with annually increasing force
to those societies whose real purpose Is
the pursuit of the business of insurance
under the more or less thinly disguised
forms of secrecy, lodges, rituals, etc. The
fact that no sufficient remedies have been
applied gives ground for the fear that they
do not possess sufficient power to bring
about the reforms which they confess to
be necessary. 1t is. therefore, in no I'M
friendly spirit suggested that they undo
the vicious legislation which they them
selves have accomplished and seek the as
sistance of legislators in passing such laws
as may tend to compel their own member
ship to accept such changes in their sys-
tenn as will tend to save their societies be-
fore 1t becomes too late. Fraternal insur-
ance is indestructible, but the system I'M
der which most of 1t Is now done is defect
i've and doomed.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals


CHICAGO, July 2s.-Nearly everything
was against the price of wheat at the
opening. The most depressing feature was
the sharp decline and apparent demorali-
cation which prevailed in Liverpool. That
market seemed wholly Indifferent to our
equal to 4Ac lower than the. close last
night. The weather, too, was fair and IA
vorable throughout the winter wheat BELT,
in marked contrast with the conditions
which prevailed yesterday. This improve
ment in itself was weak factor. and when
the slump in Liverpool was added, The
of the long stuff taken on during the preva-
lence of the bull sentiment yesterday was
liquidated, and there was active selling for
the short account and hammering of the
market by professional bears. Prices raj
lied on reports from various sections Of the
country unfavorable, and more especially
from Kansas. reiterating Yesterdays ad-
vices about the sudden deterioration of the
crop prospects. Lower closing Liverpool
cables caused another sag In values, and
the market was heavy at slight improve
ment on the lowest prices of the day, until
Bradstreet's report of the change for the
week in the worlds visible supply was re-
ceived. That gave decrease In all posi-
tions of 10, 900 bushels and caused slight
purpose of the bears, who had come to the
conclusion that all the crop damage that
had been heard of would still leave more
than enough wheat for all requirements,
and consequently extended the glad hand
to the buyers on the Bradstreet statement
and accommodated them with all the wheat
they wanted for future delivery. Pricea
fell off once more, but recovered some of
the loss before the close. July left off 1%c
down, and September declined NC.
Liquidations in July by prominent longs

False Representations

In the case of Browning VS.. The National
Capital Bank of washington, decided re-
Gently by the Court of Appeals of the Dis
trict of Columbia. and reported in the Law
Reporter of Washington, 1t appeared that
the appellant, for the purpose Of inducing
the appellee bank to make a loan to one
Scott, addressed a letter to it's president,
stating that Scott was worth to his per-
sonal knowledge, $4,000; over $60, 900 in real
estate. The representation proved to be
false, Scott at the time being largely in
debted to the writer among others, If not
insolvent, and a loss resulted to the bank.
The court held that the writer of the letter
containing the representation was liable
to the bank In an action for the deceit, and
could not urge in defense that he believed
the representation to be true; that in such
action evidence by the president and di-
rectors of the bank that the loan would not
have been made had they known of the in
debtedness of Scott was admissible, and
that evidence as to the reputed wealth Of
Scott and his integrity and truthfulness of
character, and of declarations made by
him to the appellant at the time the letter
was written. was not admissible on behalf
of the appellant, the letter not processing
to be based upon such informa-
tion but upon personal knowledge.
The court said: 1--WE think the court
was right in admitting the testimony
Of the president and directors Of the bank
to the effect that had the defendant by his
letter disclosed the fact OF the indebtedness
pf Scott and of the firm Of which he was a
member the loan would not have been
made. 1t was incumbent upon the plain
lfr TO show that 1t relied upon the represen-
lations made by the defendant in making
the loan, and 1t would certainly show what
we're the constituent elements in the rep
iesentation that formed the basis of the
confidence that was rcposed in the repre-
lentation. A large Indebtedness on the
part of Scott would certainly affect his
credit, and tho fact Of such indebtedness
