We DO not care to be particularly
personal, but there is one paragraph
in the late Clipper which seems quite
paradoxical to say the least. 1t is
this; They do say that the proprie-
tors Of the unlicensed places are vot-
ing the Reform ticket" But, mas
much as it is generally understood
that one of the proprietors of the al
legged most prosperous unlicensed
place" is a heavy stockholder in the
Clipper Company and is helping direct
its policy, we judge that paper knows
of what it is talking, and we therefore
waive all objection to the allegation
made.

we have an electric light system and
an opera house that cannot be used
by a party that is composed of a
majority of the voters of Canon it is
time the people were knowing it and
thinking on the subject. To please
the opera house people the County
Commissioners compelled the Baptist
church people to quit letting their
church for entertainments, and now
the public finds this same much favored
opera house barred for temperance
or religious purposes. Will this policy
gain the Taxpayers many votes?

If you desire home of your own
why not let the greater part of the
rent you are now paying go towards
buying one. Mr.. F. A. Reynolds has
notice in another column directing
attention to his plan for furnishing a
home on the installment plan. He
has a large list of properties and
prices and terms are within the reach
of any one who has regular income.
1t is always cheaper to own home
than to rent, besides being much more
satisfactory and enjoyable. in fact
the chief charm of many American
cities is that the citizens own their
own homes. Most of them were pro-
cured upon plans similar to that upon
which Mr.. Reynolds offers his prop,
erty. If you are interested on the
subject call and see him.

GERMANY DREAMS OF SAMOA
Visions of Her Supremacy Cropping
 up in Inspired Newspapers.

Berlin, Dec. 2S.-German day dreams arc not easily shaken off. The vision of German supremacy in Samoa is con tinually cropping up in all of the or gans, central and provincial, which are directly or indirectly subject to govern ment influence. The last method of expressing Germany'S aspirations is to send private letters from Samoa" showing that everybody in the island is waiting for German rule.
 There is a certain familiarity in such phrases as the following: "The impar- tial and correct attitude of Germany in the Spanish-American war and the Delagoa bay question is, it is said, here in Apia, recognized with the greatest satisfaction in America and England and has promoted the opinion that in view of Germany's preponderating in terestS in the islands and also of the interests of the Samoans themselves, the sole protectorate may properly be intrusted to Germany. This opinion, in local and official circles, is hailed with satisfaction even among the nOn-German whites"

A WEAK DEFENSE
Mrs. Bofkin Merely Denied inc
 Charges Against Her.

San Francisco. Dec. 23.-The trial of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin is nearing an end. The defense concluded it's case today with the testimony of the accused wo- man. Mrs. Botkin made a specific de nial of almost all the charges brought against her. She contradicted the tes- timony of almost every witness that has appeared for the prosecution, and her denials, generally, were on the most important points in the case.
 She SWore that she did not buy the candy sent to Mrs. Dunning, or the lit tie handkerchief which was enclosed for Mrs. Dunning's little girl. She ad- mitted intimacy with John P. Cunning and stated to the jury that she had tried to prevail upon him to return to his family.
 The cross examination brought out at least one very important fact against the accused. She admitted being at the ferry depot on the day that the poisoned candy was mailed at the ferry postofice. Three other unimpOrtant witnesses were introduced by the de- fense The court then adjourned till Tuesday, when the prosecution will present testimony in rebuttal.

London, Dec. 2S.-It is said that Gen eral Lord Kithcener's Gordon memorial college scheme will not be put through without a. protest, which, however, will be utterly in vain, as the money has al ready been subscribed. As is well known, General Kitchener absolutely refused all entreaties to make tho col ICge q Christian institution, saying that if tne collsge was tc be Of any practical value il must be not only Chris tian, but actually Mussulman in it's constitution and teaching.

She may be dissuadcd from making such futile protest, but there is indubitably e con siderable number of persons who are unable to see the absolute necessity of General Kitchener's resolve.

Spaniards Moving Too Fast for inc

All transports available at all tho Atlantic ports are being prepared under rush orders for sailing south.
 The Spanish are carrying out their evacuation contract with unusual cS- lerity and there is some question whether the American troops can ba concentrated at certain points before the Spaniards leave Meantime the Cu- bans are preparing for demonstrations during evacuation week and it is thought very desirable to have an ade- qUate force on hand to prevent any out break that would jeopariize the Amer ican entente at the outset.

STUDENTS MUTILATE A SUBJECT
Use Crude Methods in Performing ar
 Operation on a Boy.

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 23.-K. J. Banan- tine. R. Moore and J. A Walker, stu dents at the St. Louis Homeopathic Medical college, operated on 14-year- old Elijah Rice in a back room at their boarding house, 2725 Stoddard street. The boy is a son of the woman who conducts the boarding house. He was SO mutilated that a surgeon had to be called in to complete the operation, and it is feared that blood poisoning will set in and cause death.
 With an old trunk as an operating table the students undressed the lad applied anaesthetics and by tho light of an old lamp did the job. Old rags and paper were used to catch the escaping blood and a newspaper was placed over the boys face to prevent him from sec ing what was going on. With knives, scissors and forceps they performed a painful operation.
 Mrs. Rice rushed into the room be- fore the job was finished and rescued her son from the terrible ordeal She was crazed when she learned what oc- cured, and declares she will prosecute the students, one of whom has left the city. The students claim the boy con- sented to the operation, but he denies this.

WoRsHIPPERS FEAR FooTPADS.
Decrease in Church Going at St Louis
 Ascribco to Dlcaa Of Ilobbers.----

St. Louis, Mo. Dec 23.-Highway robberies have become so frequent in St. Louis that people have stopped go- ing to church at night. At least that is the conclusion to be drawn from the action of the Congregations ministers this morning, when Q committee was appointed to confer with the mayor and police commissioners to see what steps could he taken to banish footpad5 from the city.
 Nearly all the ministers at the meet ing complained that attendance at Sun day night services had fallen off alarm ingly for the last month or more and the people who absented themselves declared it was because they feared to go on the streets at night and run the risk Of being held up. Revs Dr. Burn ham, Sargent and Patton were named to devise a remedy for the evil and re- port at the next meeting.
 Our people seem to be more foot pad-feaTing than God-fearing," de- clared Dr. Burnham, who is pastor of Pilgrim church. the largest and most influential of the denomination, and I think things have gone so far now that WE should take some pertinent action in the matter. Ladies, especially, are kept away from church on this ac- count"

PROPHECY VERSUS FACTS
Sfili Cling to Their Errors Tn Spite of
 Official Figures.

New York, Dec. 23.-A Washington special to the Tribune says: The tariff reformer' dies hard If facts and fig urcs do not agree with his theories and predictions, why, so much the worse for the facts and figures. When the Dingley revenue bill was passed last year the tariff refUrmers, both in and out of congress, began with one accord to assert two propositions, to both of which they have chung with singular tenacity in the teeth of monthly off cial reports, which have regularly shown both to be incorrect.
 One Of them was that exports of manufactured articles would fall off to an alarming extent. This assertion has been regularly disDroved, from month to month, and the official reports GOV ering the first ten months of the cur rent calendar year show an increase of manufactured articles from $23t0O0- coo in round figures in 1897, to S253,- coo, 900 in 1898.
 The other proposition was that the Dingley law would be a failure as a revenue producer. and the assertion that such had been the case was made by MT. McMiliin of Tennessee only yes terday, with as much confidence as he made the prediction i'll the house Of representatives eighteen months ago that such would be the result Mir Me Millin was mistaken, the fact being that the law has shown immense ca pacity and energy as a revenue pro ducer, despite the war, which seriously depressed customs receipts for a DOT tion of the current year. In the first eleven months of this year the GUS toms receipts fell only $2,OO0, ,O0O short of the receipts from the same source for the entire year 1897. Moreover, the daily official statements issued by the treasury department clearly indicate that the total for December will not be under s16,OOO,OOO, thus carrying the total for the entire year some $14,000,- 600 above that of last year
 According to these statements, the total customs receipts for the first five and one-half months of the current fis- cal year have amounted to $88, ,000, 900, indicating total of about $96, ,000, 900 for the first half of the fiscal year, or $192, 100000 for the year ending June 30, 1899. The total for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, when the Wilson German revenue producer was doing it's full and perfect work, amounted to $16O, 1000, O,0OO

GAVE HER LIFE FOR HER BABY's
Refused to Escape Flames Until She
 Had Saved Her Child.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Mrs. Johanna New ell lost her life today in saving that of her 2-year-old daughter The Newell family lived at 1S9 Orleans street, above a livery stable. which was burned late this afternoon. There was only one stairway leading to the street from the apartments in which the fam fly live
 Mrs. Newell was near the head of this stairway when the alarm was given, and might easily have made her way to the street Instead of doing so she ran into her rooms to save her lit tie girl By the time she was able to return to the stairway it was in flames and all escape was cut off.
 The woman then ran to a second story window, opening upon an area, in which some men wer standing, and threw the girl out. One of the men caught it by the skirt and placed it on the ground unhurt. Mrs. Newell then jumped from the window. The men tried to catch her, but were unsuccess- full, and she struck the concrete heav- fly, sustaining injuries from which she died within two hours.
