We talk about liberty, justice, hu-
manity, art. beauty, power, machinery.
But these must all be in the mind first
When you make men and women di-
vi2e, the world is divine And so we
stand today in amazement at the wealth
of the human soul. Thank God for be-
ing, thank God for this beauteous
world, thank God for life, thank God
for death, the friend of life, thank God
for this wonderful present into which
all the past is pouring its treasures,
and thank God for the things to come
when reason shall be enthroned and
conscience shall rule and there shall be
tender justice and universal liberty
and brotherhood Of love in the world.

Electric Power for Ships

Up to the present electricity has scarcely
been thought suitable as the principal mo-
tive or propeing power for the larger type
of vessels. This is undoubtedly owing to
the fact that for given horse power triple
or quadruple expansion steam engine would
take up less space and probably weigh less
than an electrical installation of equal
power. Storage batteries are out Of the
question for such uses, although persons not
we'll up in electrical subjects frequently
wonder why our ocean greyhounds are not
propelled by some such method. 1t may in
terest some of our readers to know that
vessel requiring an average Of 10 900 horse
power to propel 1t across the Atlantic and
displacing 5000 tons would be obliged to
carry, were storage batteries alone made
use of, 324,4SO.OOo pounds of such batteries.
or, in other words, the motive power alone
would weigh 1920 tons, or thirty times -
much as the ship.-Electricity.

SOLDIERS PREPARE FOR BURIAL
Corporal Keltz Pays in Advance for
Possible Funeral Services

A tall, slender, dark man stepped into
Walnut street undertaking shop yesterday

one, at a cost Of $3.50, he also arranged for
a shroud and for funeral services.

I should be killed. But I've enlisted to fight

AS he finished speaking Corporal Keltz
drew from his pocket a folded paper and
tossed it on the undertaker's desk.
THAT Is an insurance policy for $1,000. If

"All right" returned the undertaken. 'Is
that all?"
"Yes-yes; I guess that's about al, have

the door and hurried west cn Twelfth street

bruises that the poor fruit had received.
When the barrel was full the lid had TO be
gotten on, and If it didn't quite fit q little
physical force would make 1t. Have you
seen an obstreperous trunk lid forced to
close by being sat upon? Well, that ls
actually what I have seen done with the
oranges and pineapples that were shipped
from Cuba to this country After the box
or barrel was packed, the next thing was
to roll 1t down to the steamer. No care
was taken to carry 1t gingerty. If bar
rel, It was rolled down the gangpank and
dropped into the hold of the vessel. II a
box, it was carried down, if that way Of
getting 1t there was the easier, and then
dropped on top of the others.
1.-The inevitable result OF all this rough
treatment was that the fruit had become
rotten for the most part when it arrived In
America, and half of 1t was wasted. 1t Is
not TO be supposed that this sort of thing
could continue. American planters decided
that they could beat the Cubans at fruit
growing. They tried It. and the Cubans
speedily found that thare was no longer
market for their bruised and rottIug
oranges and pneapples.
"As I said before, the market will be
Cuba's again, when Americans have taught
them how to handle the fruit so that 1t will

they sold foreign products In France. But
it is strange to see these protectionists
forced to adopt limited free trade while
fiercely denouncing free trade as wrong
and in the interests of the foreigner. But
as the Dingley law is fraud and will show
a deficiency for the year Of sixty millions Of
dollars, something must be done to revive
the dropping commerce of the country, and
therefore this free trade door of "recip-
rocity" has been cut in the Dingiey law,
through which French goods can be ad-
mitted to our markets under nominal duties
in compensation for the admission under
similar conditions of American goods into
French markets.-San Diego Vidette.

What Reciprocity Is

Reciprocity is simply free trade in homeo-
pathic doses. 1t says to France: "If you
will trade with us we will trade with you.
We will exchange commodities. What you
produce and we do not we will exchange
without taxing either your products or you
taxing ours" This is simply going back
to natural conditions, to the conditions
which everywhere, both in the civilized and
barbaric world, existed before the robbers

McIntire Court Martial.

DENVER, Colo. Sept. 20. = In the
court martial trial today the Govern
ment rested and the defense opened.
State Senator J. r. Schermerhorn tes-
titled that the Chaplain had not charged
dishonesty in the construction of battle
shfps, but said that eastern contractors
had influence with the government and
were net as careful in the work as the
builders of the Oregon. The Chaplain
said that when the Oregon was going
into the fight it met the Iowa, with
Fighting Bob Evans going the other
way. There Is nothing contemptuous
in the allusion. Witness said that the
Chaplain had stated that Sampson was
eleven miles away when the fight be-
gan, but came up during the fight with

and was SO reported. Schermerhorn
said he had been a personal friend of
Mcintyre for FIVE years, and he believed
the Chaplain was sick the night of the
lecture. Joshua Wilson corroborated
Schermerhorns testimony, except he
stated that Mcintyre had said that
SIMPSONS flagship was reported within
signaling distance at the surrender of
the Colon, but he did not see her.

THE PEACE COMMISSION.
Spain's Instructions to Her Mem
bers Absurd and Overbear-
ing. They Must Recede.

PARIS, Sept. 9.-The United States
Peace Commission held another session
this morning, after which. accompanied
by the United States Ambassador Cen
eral Horace Porter, they drove to the
foreign Office, where the Commissioners
breakfasted with the Spanish Commis-
sioners. The French newspapers con-
tinue to comment upon the difficulties
the Commissions will have to face by
reason of their divergent instructions,
beyond which, it is said, they cannot go.
Gil Bias says: The Spanish govern
ment has given its Commissioners very
precise instructions. They are to do
their utmost to have it admitted there
can be no question of disputing the.
rights of Spanish sovereignty over Ma-
nila, the Island of Luzon. and the rest
of the Archipelago, outside of the ma
val stations which Spain will cede at
Marianne Islands. On the other side
the American Commission. before leav-
ing President Mckinley, received from
him very precise instructions, from
which the Commissioners cannot de-
part. The following is the text of
their instructions:
First-Spain cedes absolute sover-
eignty over the whole island of Luzon.
Second-Other islands of the archf-
pelago will be replaced under the do
minion of Spain on condition that
liberal government is accorded to the
inhabitants.
Third Complete separation of church
and state in the Philippines.
Fourth-Spain cannot cede any other
island in the group to any foreign
power without Americas consent.
Fifth--The United States shall enjoy
for all time commercial privileges such
as most favored nations, not excepting
Spain herself.
Gil Bias concludes: 1t is therefore
to be feared that for unhappy Spain
the negotiations (which open October
lst will give no satisfaction.

The scandalous abuse By the President

fenced, incompetent civilians, as re-
wards of personal favorites, and that to
the exclusion Of experienced officers in

STOCK NOTES.

Gov. o. A. Hadley, of Watrous, pur-
chased yesterday at Springer, $50 of the
tops of the l.. Baldwin q Co., cattle
Mr.. Hadley will put these cattle into
his feeding pens, where they will be
full for the eastern market.
The L. Baldwin Co., of Springer,
shipped 1000 head of cattle to st. JOS
eph, Mo-, where they will experiment
on the new market.
The cattle and sheep raisers of east
ern Colfax county met in Ration last
Saturday to devise ways and means to
destroy the wolves that have been prey
ing upon the herds in that section of
the county.
Paying $50 90 and upward for feed
ers is the rule rather than the exception
this year, but the cattle that are going
into the Texas feed lots, are the best
ever handled, and in nearly every case
are worth the money. Unless condi-
tions change materially and all signs
fail, Texas feeders will make money
this year. Times are good and getting
better; feed is plentiful and cheap, and
with better cattle, better and more in
telligent feeding and more experience
generally, there is no reason to suppose
that the Texas cattle feeder will not
make his jack on this years operations.
