The residence Of Mr.. Harry B. Pyne

Pyne alone, attacked her and would
probably have injured her seriously had
he not mistaken the cries Of a parrot in
an adjoining room for those of a man
coming to the rescue. He obtained only
about $1.50 in money, although Mrs,
Pyne's diamonds were almost in his
grasp when he was frightened away.
At about 5 O'Clock in the afternoon a
peddler stopped in front of the house
and walked in with his hands full Of
vegetables. As he entered Mrs. Pyns
had just locked up a set Of valuable dia.

In America the people of one section
may abuse those of another over poll
ties, howl about class legislation, and
otherwise give the impression to for
eigners that blood-shed is imminent, but
the moment any nation threatens to
tread on Uncle Sans coat tails, politics,
money questions and county seat fights
are forgotten in the rush to get a swipe
at the offender. As a free born people,
Americans claim the privilege Of rowing
among themselves If they feel so dis
posed, but the moment there IS
danger of any outside trouble, a truce is
declared among themselves, and the
intruder would just as well stand from
under.

Trade With the Hawaiian Islands.

The United States consular general
at Honolulu, Mr. William Haywood, has
recently submitted a report concerning
the shipping trade between the Ha-
waiian islands and the United States,
which proves of particular interest at
this time, when the subject of nex
tion is being discussed in congress.
According to the report, the whole
number of ships entering the port of
Hawaii in the year 1897, was 427, of
which $50 were American crafts. There
was an increase in the number of ships
engaged in the Hawaiian trade of Al,
of which 80 were Americans. The ag-
gregate of American tonnage engaged
in the island trade is 270,O45 tons, of
which 1874. 4O6 are sailing vessels. A loss
of a considerable part of this trade
will inevitably follow the failure of an
nexation.
The commerce of the world is moving
east from Europe, and much Of it will
locate in Pacific ports of Asia. The
Hawaiian islands, so long considered
out of the busy world, will be close to
its center. The construction of the
Nicaragua canal will throw into west
ward channels a large proportion Of the
trade that has sought Asia through the
Suez canal. Those of the American
people who live 20 years hence will Won
der that there should aver have been a
doubt that an American senate would
gladly accept a group of islands so for
tunately situated, at the request of Its
government.

Only Misrepresentation Objectionable.

The development of the sugar beet In
dustry In the United States is beginning
to attract considerable attention in Ger
many, and there is a disposition on the
part of German statesmen to look upon
the interest taken in the culture OF
beets in America, as q desire on the part
of this country to retaliate for the pro-
hibition of imports of American meats
and fruits into that land. In a recent
issue of a Leipsic paper there appeared
an article on the subject from which
the following is taken:
cat present they are stimulated and
encouraged in such efforts, which have
so serious a meaning for US, by the fool
ish action of the German Agricultural
Bund, which has inspired the unheard-
OF measure against the Importation to
products, and has had the ~audacity to
condemn American meats as unwhole-
some, thereby greatly embittering the
feelings of American farmers against
Germany. The latter now PUSHES with
redoubled fervor into sugar-beet Guilt
walton in order to supplant entirely the
use of German sugar. The Bund of Ger
man agriculturists may be actuated by
the best intentions to aid and protect
it's members, but blind zeal only Injuries
whom it would help, and is in this case
wholly out of place. America imports
from us constantly sugar, hides, skins,
wool. fax, hemp and manufactures of
such materials, as we'll as seeds, potato
starch, ETC., which are in fact agri-
cultural products, and it is simply in
sanity to want to slap such a customer
in the face"
The writer of the article Is mistaken
concerning the motives for the manu-
~facture of beet sugar in this country.
The Americans are Justly noted for their
readiness for seeing through a mill
stone, especially when there is a hole
clear through it. Having demonstrated
that certain sections of the United States
are admirably adapted to the growing OF
superior beets, and knowing that every
year 500, 900, 900 are paid to foreign
countries for sugar, tho conclusion at
once arrived at was that the only way
to keep that vast amount Of money at
home was to make the sugar needed for
the nations use. Then the belief that
beets would prove a more profitable crop
than any now raised, helped on the ex-
periments, and the result will be that
from now on America will buy less and
less sugar from Germany, as factories
are built, and in the end will buy none
at all. The Americans have no objec
lions to the Germans protecting theil
home markets in an honest manner, and
J are willing to pay for the privilege OF
selling products to consumers in that
land, but when our meats and fruits arc
excluded through Misrepresentation, the
demand for them is lessened in other
countries, and to this manner of doing
business there is naturally an objection.

Funny Spanish War Talk.

One of the humorous incidents grow
ing out of the talk of war between the
United States and Spain, is the report
ed saying of the Spanish ambassador to
Vienna: That if the United States, in
case of war, should incite the Philip
pines to revolt. Spain could revenge
herself by raising revolts in the Ameri-
can southern states. Not only is such
talk ridiculous, but it conveys a clear
idea of the erroneous impressions enter
tanned In Spain regarding conditions in
the United States. No man who had
travelled in this country, or who knew
anything of the American people, would
have made a remark of that character.
During the last month the most en-
thusiastic talk favoring war oyer the
Cuban and Maine questions, has come
from the southern states, and should
wal eventually break out, the first men
to offer their services would be the sons
of the men who fought against the
Union in the rebellion. The Spanish
gentleman who makes his headquarters
at Vienna seems to think that the
southern states are held by the govern
ment as colonies, and that the people Of
that section of the country are only
awaiting an opportunity to regain their
freedom; perhaps this same opinion may
prevail to a large extent among the
Spanish. II such is the case and Spain
is building hopes Of help in case Of wal
from an instruction in this country,
there will be . sorely disappointed lot of
statesmen In Madrid within ten days
after war has been declared.

HIS TASK TOO HARD.
ROBERT j. BuRDETTe'S PATHETIC
PILGRIMAGE TO CHICAGO.

Came From Denver to Tell His Little Sick
Niece Of Her Mothers Death-Touched
by Pallid Cheeks, He Gould Only Laugh
and Joke With Hsr.
With a twitching at the corners Of
his mustache and a dewy brightness in
his kindly eyes Robert J. Burdette re.
Gently came from the hospital ward in
Chicago where his favorite niece, his
%"little sweetheart" Erma, a short time
before had been lying almost at the
point Of death. He came out with It'd
ings of sorrow untold. He had meant
to tell the sick girl that the mother she
tenderly loved was dead, but his heart
failed him when he saw the pallid face
and wasted form on the little cot. In.
stead he laughed and joked until Erma
forgot her pain and her weakness and
laughed with him. She was wonderful
ly cheered up by the visit, the nurse
said.
Erma, the 16-year-old daughter of J.
W. Burdette, has been in a private ward
of the Englewood Union hospital for the
last six weeks, dangerously sick with
typhoid fever. When she was taken
from her home at 6521 Butler street her
mother was sick too. The girl begged
with tears not to be taken away. She
feared, she said, that she might never
see her mother again.
Her presentiment was sadly fulfilled.
Before three weeks passed Mrs. Burdette
died, and her body was carried back to
the old home at Burlington, Ia, to be
laid to rest among her W people who
had gone before. The daughter at this
time was herself near to death, and it
was impossible to %acquaint her with
her loss. Since that time no one has
dared tell her, and she still believes her
mother to be alive and waiting for bel
return.
There was one, they said, in the
darkened home. who could tell Erma,
and who could tell her as no one else
could-Uncle Bob-but Uncle Bob wal
far away. He was lecturing to thu
western folk, and in Denver people a
that time were laughing at his humor
applauding his wit and OCCASIONAL,
wondering at his cynicism as he talked
to them from the platform. Some
knowing him well, knew, or though
they knew, that there were times wher
be ceased to see the smiling faces before
him or hear the storms Of applause, buI
was thinking Of the little girl who hat
loved him from her babyhood and hat
made him her especial confidant in al
her childish griefs and joys. Once hi
wrote to her in his whimsical way g.
wish, my dear little one, that my arm
were 800 miles and 8 feet long. THREE
hundred miles would bring them tt
your bedside, and there would be thre,
feet more to 60 round you while ! toll
you something that you should know.
Then came the message that brough
him a few days ago to Chicago. From
the Northwestern station he drove di
rectly to his brothers house, and from
there, after a stay Of less than half al
hour, he went to the hospital, but
though it was easy to take the suffere
to his heart, it was another thing t.
tell her "what she should know"
~ could not do it" he said to hi
brother. as they stood on the platform
before the outgoing Pennsylvania train
ut was too hard. Chicago Record.
