IT is stated that the retiring United
States Supreme Judge Fields, is worth
$1,000, 900. He was comparatively a
poor man when he took his office, and
it is said that most Of the old gran
MES who draw salaries as Supreme
judges live up to the limit of their
salary. The salary of an Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court is $1O,0 a year. Then how
long must he have served his country
to save up million? OF course by
saving is the only way supreme
Judge could be expected to accumu-
late wealth. Yet there are those who
may have different opinion, but
they are called anarchists. But for
all what people may say and what
people may think, the Register is
free to say that it is no honor to any
official to retire from office million
aire who was poor man when his
official duties began.
THE salary of the president of the
United States is $4,000, and there
are few men in business or the learned
professions who by their labors, can
earn more, or even as much in a
twelve month Robert FitzsimmOns,
the prize fighter, has however, earned
$65, 900, as much as the president and
vice president together. Fitz's head
and legs did not turn the trick. 1t
was his big fist, with the driving
power behind it, that served him bet
ter than great quantities of brain
matter have served many men in law,
science and art. The first that
knocked out Corbett and made Fitz
the champion pugilist of the world,
closed over approximately $40, 900,
the winning Of that one fight. Lat
er on $3,666, the fighters share OF
the veniscOpe exhibitions, was clasped
in the same nit. The fame that
punch gave the puncher served him
through a theatrical season that
swelled the aggregate earnings for
the year to $65, 900.

To Dye a Fast Black.
With Diamond Dyes One Can Color
Black so That it Will Not
Fade or Wash Out.

1t is only within the last few years
that 1t it has been possible for an in.
experienced person to dye . black
that would not crock, fade or wash
out. Even blacks dyed by city steam
dyeing establishments were seldom
reliable and fast.
The advent of three Diamond Dye
fast blacks-for wool, for cotton and
for silk and feathers-has changed all
OF this. With 10-cent package of
one of these Diamond Dye fast blacks
the first trial gives perfect success.
The directions on the packages are
SO plain and simple that even q child
can get better results than the ex.
perienced dyer Of . few years ago.
Success in home dyeing is secured
only when the Diamond Dyes are
used. DO not be persuaded BY any
dealer to buy limitations Of the Dis :.
mond Dyes that have no past record
to recommend them. The D;amoc d
Dyes are the only warranted colors
for domestic dyeing.

Michael Davftt Laughs British Love for
America to Scorn.
London, March 2l.-A lively contro-
versy has been kindled between Michael
Dayitt and the Daily Chronicle by Da-
Wits attack on the suggested alliance
between the United States and Great
Britain. The Chronicle, which up to
the present has been the most friendly
paper toward the Irish, rebuked Dayitt
in its issue Friday for his cable message
TO New York newspaper. saying it
will ill serve the Irish cause" saying il
claring that it is absolutely untrue
that the English ruling classes are in
sympathy with Spain and hostile to
America"
Davitt reorts with letter published
today, buttressing his statement that
the ruling classes are hostile to Amer
lea.
Continuing, Davitt asserts the right
OF Irishmen to voice independent views
OK Great Britain's foreign policy, "fn
spite of the wishes Of the English
friends of home rule" and asserts that
the Anglo-Saxon in America .is a myth
and makes the statement that Irish
men. Germans, Frenchmen. Dutchmen.
ana Norwegians constitute three
fourths of the Americans of today, add
ing that the children of these races
will not permit their government to
form an alliance with that power which
Is distrusted by every civilized people.

pair the unique moral influence she ex-
eroises among all nations, owing to her

policy"

In the coursi Of which NJ. Hanotaux.
the French foreign minister, repudiated
the idea that he desired to Join any

The correspondent represents NJ. Hano-

that Tonquin was enough for her; that
she did not desire to settle in the
Hun-Nan province or to seize southern
China, and that NJ. Dubail had not

doubts as to the extent Of the demands.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Ma
gasaki, Japan, mentions a report that
the Yang-tse valley is included, which
tends TO confirm the report from Pekin
that France demanded that China shall
not cede any portion of TIE province OF
Kwr-Chau. this province being within

from Pekin, however. which explains
that the demands apply only to the
three provinces-Kwang Tung. Kwang-

ter editorially. The Times suggests as
IN explanation OF these discrepancies
that II. Dubail. the French charge
