He Was Not In.

A man who was Offering for sale a
small Newfoundland puppy appeared
on Chestnut street the other day, and
quite unintentionally offered a good
deal of amusement to the promenad-
ers. OF course he was pleased at the
notice which he attracted, but he
couldn't see what there was so funny
about either himself or the dog. He
had bought ONE of those ready-made
handbills, such as are pasted upon
houses, reading: 'For sale. Inquire
within" With an ordinary lead pencil
he had crossed off the word within"
and, making a period after inquire"
tied it around the puppy's body. But
the lines of erasure were so faint that
ten feet away the handful appeared in
its original form. A small boy who
saw the joke approached the man and
asked: Say, mister, did de GROWER
swaller his owner?"
mo; don't git gay, Johnny" said the
man.
''Weu, den, who do youse ask fur Wen
youse gifts inside" queried the small
boy. Then the man saw the point and
tore off the lower half of the placard,
so that it read simply: For sale

years.

Chinese Almauacs.

The almanac is the most important OF
books to the Chinese. Its space is far
too important to be occupied with the
matter which fills Western almanacs.
1t contains astronomical information
which is useful; but its great mission
is to give full and accurate information
for selecting lucky places for perform
ing all the acts, great and small, of
their every day life. And as every act
of life in China, however trivial, de-
ponds for its success on the time in
which, and the point of compass to-
ward which it is done, it is of the ut
most Importance to the Chinese that
everyone should have correct informa-
ton available at all times to so order
his life as to avoid bad luck and calam-
ity, and secure good luck and prosper
ity. Consequently the almanac is, per-
haps, the most universally circulated
book in China.

LODGES BILL PASSED.
Great Interest Taken in the Immigra-
ton Measure.


The features of Mondays proceedings
in the United States Senate were the
speech delivered by Senator Wolcott of
Colorado, chairman of the bimetallic COM
mission, upon the negotiations with Eu-
ropean countries relative to international
bimetallisin and the passage of the Lodge
bill restricting immigration into the Unit
ed States. The galleries were crowded
at an early hour. Unexpectedly Senator
Hanna appeared at the opening of the scs.
sion. Mr.. Foraker, the senior Senator
from Ohio, presented Mr.. Hanna's ere.
dentials for the remainder Of Mr.. Sher-
mans term. He escorted his colleague
to the desk, where Vice President Hobart
administered the oath.
AT the conclusion of the morning bust
ness Mr.. Wolcott began his address. He
was in fine voice and commanded the
earnest attention of his auditors. At the
conclusion of the speech Mr.. Wolcott was
instantly surrounded by his Republican
colleagues, DESTROYS of rendering to him
congratulations.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wolcott's
speech the immigration bin was taken up
and discussed until o'clock, the hour at
arranged to vote finally upon the amend
ments and the bill. An amendment offer
ed by Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin providing
that the ability on the part of the immi-
grant either to read or to write should
be accepted as a sufficient test of his lit
eracy was adopted. Another amendment
by Mr.. Spooner providing that the men,
bers of the family accompanying the inn
migrant rejected under the conditions of
the bin should be returned to the country
whence they came by the steamship COM
panies was also adopted. Other efforts
were made to amend the measure, but
failed. The bill was then passed by a
vote of 40 to %.
The bill as passed provides that all i'm
migrants physically capable and over IL
years of age shall be able to read or write
the English language or some other Ian
guage; but a person not able to read or
the parent or grandparent of a qualified
immigrant over u years of age and capa-
BILE of supporting such parent or grand
parent may accompany the INNING rant, or
the parent or grandparent may be sent
for and come TO join the family; and
wife or minor child not able to read or
write may accompany or be sent for and
come to join the husband or parent who
is qualified. This act does not apply to
persons coming to the United States from
the island of Cuba during the continuance
of present disorders there, who have here
tofore been inhabitants of that island.

GIVES SPAIN WARNING.
President Says American Charity Will
Nnf Re DaIaxe

Pres ident Says American Charity Will
Not Be Delayed.
Washington dispatch: The President
now knows that Spanish authorities are
hampering Consul General Lee in every
way possible. They do not want Ameri-
cans to succor the starving Cubans. But
President Mckinley has given assurance
that all donations will reach Cubans. He
has given that assurance without any
communication with any representative of
Spain.
President Mckinley has, after careful
consideration of the complaint that sup
plies sent from Philadelphia to Havana
have not reached Consul General Lee,
given out the statement that all dona-
tions to Cuba will be distributed by Gen.
Lee. When this statement was given out
by Judge Day no assurance of a change
of policy IN Havana had come from Gen.
Lee or from Minister de LONE.
The assurance to the American people
that their contributions would be distrib-
uted in Cuba was simply the assurance
Of the President of the United States, who
is conscious of his right and power to see
that it is made good. President McKin-
ley has INDUCED in no threat against
Spain. He has simply assured the Amer
lean people that he vii see that their
contributions are distribu al to the starv-
ing Cubans. Those who have watched
developments believe that this will be by
Intervention with force.
With only the report that supplies that
have been in Havana more than week
have not yet reached Lee, there is but
one explanation of the Presidents conf
dence, and that is in his own power to see
that they are distributed. 1t has been
understood from the beginning that the
Spanish authorities objected to Lee dis
tributing these supplies. They wanted
the distribution made by Spanish priests
or the Spanish police, and only the Presi-
dents decided stand against such a pro-
gram brought Minister de LONE to terms

BIG MILL STRIKE is NOW ON.
Cotton Operatives Refuse to Accept a
Cut in Wages.

&ut W0seSs
A reduction in the wages of 125,0OO OPP
eratives employed in nearly $50 cotton
mills in New England, which the manu-
facturers decided upon as temporary
remedy for the depression in the cotton
goods industry of the North, went into
effect Monday morning.
In six of the mill centers, namely, New
Bedford, Biddeford, Saco, Fall River.
Fltchburg and Lewiston, 1915 mill
hands struck. The twenty-five mills of
the former city, which gave employment
to S,730 hands, were shut down because
the operatives have refused to accept the
reduction, and the strike thus inaugurated
promises to be one of the most protracted
and stubbornly contested in the history
of the textile industry. The operatives
are lighting for the abolition of the filming
system, in addition to restoration of
wages. There was no violence about the
mill gates, and no large gatherings on the
streets.
The $500 employees at the Tacoma and
Pepperell mills at Biddeford refused to
go to work under the new schedule and
it is thought the strike there will not be
settled easily About LOCO of the work
ing force at the York mills in Saco went
on strike and those mills will be closed.
The Androscoggin mills at Lewiston and
the King Philip plant in Fall River were
handicapped by strike of a number Of
the hands and the Queen City mills Of
Burlington, VT, are closed on account of
n strike which followed the posting of
notices of reduction. In Fitchlurg 225
employees of the Nockege mills struck, and
in the King Philip mills at Fall River
LOO quit. In Burlington 800 are out
and in Lewiston 1900 struck.
The mills in Fall River, with the ex-
ception of the Fall River Iron Works and
Durfee Il Seaconnett plants, reduced
wages Jan. 3, on the same day cut down
went into effect at the big Amoskeag cor
poration of Manchester, the Naumkeag
mills at Salem, the China, Webster and
Pembroke mills at Suncook, II. H., and
number of towns in Worcester County.
The Fall River mills employ about n 900,
the Amoskeag 5000, and the others which
adopted the new scale the first of the
year about 5000 hands.
The reduction Monday affected the cot
ton mills of Maine, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, the mills of New Bedford, Lowell
and large number of smaller centers in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In
New Bedford alone So, 100000 capital is
rendered idle by the strike.

Yukon in the search for gold, and has
diverted the attention Of many others.
But in order to get there it is necessary
that man should be possessed of the
best OF health, strong powers of endur
ance and considerable means. He leaves
his wife and his family for considerable
period, and the hardships he has to endure
are all unknown to him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her gold
en- grain. This year the crop of Manitoba,
lying directly north of North Dakota,
yielded Il 600, 900 bushels OF wheat alone.
The current price averages 70 cents,
which. as local paper puts it, makes
the product in gold this year, for wheat
alone, equal to value of S15, $3.50, 600"
Twenty thousand farmers did this, or an
average to each producer of about $79S.
But these same farmers are not living
by wheat alone. This is only one source
of revenue to them out of many. They
have also beef, butter. potatoes, oats,
barley and poultry to sell, and sometimes
other things, SO that it may be fairly es-
timated that their incomes will average
at least 81, 600 per farmer. Thus Mani
TOBIAS fields have yielded this year fully
SIC, 100000 in gold, divided among 10000
actual producers and a general popula-
ton of about 100000"
After counting the cost of stamp mills,
expenses of men, etc. rich as is the klon-
dixie, such vast wealth as is being taken
out Of the soil in raising wheat in this one
province, cannot possibly be secured in
any mining district. OF course mining de-
velopment assists agricultural develop
ment, and that is why the Government. OF
Canada feels so much assurance in pre-
dieting prosperity to all who take up farms
in Canada. Western Canada to-day
promises more than any other known field
tn is open to immigration. Farms OF
,o0 acres, capable Of producing the best
No. hard wheat, yielding thirty to forty
bushels to the acre, are given away free.
Railways, markets, schools, churches
are convenient. The Canadian form of
government is one of the most liberal
known, and hearty welcome is given to
settlers of all nationalities. Already there
are many settlers gone in from the States,
and the reports from them are highly fav-
orable. Those desiring information as to
free homestead laws, low transportation
rates, ETC., will have pamphlets, etc., sent
free on application to the Department of
the Interior, Ottawa, or to any agent of
the Government.

The Sultan of Turkey is said to pos
sess one of the finest collections of jew
els in the world. They are kept in the
Seraglio at Constantinople in one par
ticular room. A striking feature of this
treasure house is the many gilded bird
cages which, studded with jewels, hang
from the frescoed ceiling. And odd as
1t may seem a jeweled clock lies face
downward in each cage. The finest and
rarest gems in the Sultan's collection
are woven into embroidered texts from
the Koran on deep red velvet, whilst
the necklaces, too, are particularly
fine. The curiosity of the collection is
a parasol said to be the most valuable
in the world. 1t is made of white silk
embroidered with gold thread and rich
ly besprinkled with precious stones,
whilst the stick is made of one long
solid piece of coral.

SUICIDE BARS INSURANCE.
Supreme Justice Harlan, at Washing
ton, Hands Down a Decision.

Supreme Justice Harlan, at Washing
ton, Hands Down a Decision.
In the United States Supreme Court
Monday Justice Harlan handed down an
opinion in the case of A. Howard Ritter,
executor of William NJ. Runk, against the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York, involving the question of whether
the heirs of a man who commits suicide
when in sound mind can recover on an
insurance policy. The court held that
they could not.
1t appeared from the facts stated that
Mr.. Runk, resident Of Philadelphia,
committed suicide less than a year after
increasing his insurance to the extent of
100000 making an aggregate insurance
of 100000 upon his life. OF the $780,
600 the New York company carried $780,
600, which it refused TO pay on the ground
that Runk was sane when he took his
life 1t was shown in the trial court that
he had written a letter the day before his
death stating that it was his purpose to
put an end to his life so that Ais life insur-
ance money could be collected for the pay
ment of his debts.
In deciding the case Justice Harlan said
that when an insurance company entered
into Il contract to insure mans life Meth
er party 10 the contract could be suppos-
ed to have suicide in contemplation, and
it was not intended in entering into such
q contract that the life of the person in
sured should be at the option of either of
the parties. In fixing the premium the
company would naturally take into consid-
Grafton the circumstances bearing upon
the duration of life, AM no company
would undertake to insure against suicide.
If any should make such an attempt, be
said, it would he against public policy
and would not be allowed. Concluding,
he said explicitly that no insured person
committing suicide and found to be of
sound mind could recover upon his pol

Experiment ON ca,ve.

For two years past the experiment sta
ton connected with the State university
has been experimenting with tuberculosis
IN cattle, operating on herd near Cedar
burg, of which sixteen out of twenty-three
cattle were affected with the disease. The
experiments were conducted for the pur-
pose of ascertaining if it were possible to
raise healthy calves from cows affected
with tuberculosis. They We're entirely
successful, as during the two years a
healthy calf has been obtained in every
case from the affected cows-twenty-four
calves in all. The calves were taken from
their mothers Immediately after birth and
fed Pasteurized milk. Equally successful
have been the results obtained in stopping
the progress of the disease entirely by iso-
lating the diseased animals.
