A Gold Country.

Senator Teller has received a let
ter from constituent in Colorado
indicating that the PHILIPPINES may
be found to be very rich in gold de-
posita. The writer says in 1875 he
travelled from Manila to Singapore
with man who had gone from Mon
tana to the island Of Luzon for the
purpose Of Investigating the reports of
such wealth, who gave him this intor-
nation i'll confidence and as a return
for kindness rendered him by the
Senator'S correspondent:
@He told me-" SAYS the correspon-
dent, "that the result of his investi-
cations were far ahead Of anything he
had anticipated and that the wealth
OF gold in that country was beyond
estimating. He had gone TO the Phil
hpines with the intention of going
INTO mining if the situation was prom
ising. When he nnd they were he
went to the Spanish governor to Sc
cure permission, but this official
would permit nothing of the kind.
He gave as the reason for his OPPOSE
ton that the development would tend
to enrich the population, while the
Spanish policy was to keep them in
Ignorance and subsection"
The writer Of the letter says his
companion secured his information
from Catholic priests located outside

Question of COrsets.

When men want to abuse a woman
they begin on the corsets she wears,
claiming that no savage ever tortured
herself in such manner. Men who
go into the crusade carry pictures of
the stomach squeezed out of all
shape, and physiologiea, compiled by
men, show the female stomach SO
misshaped by the corset that you
wouldn't know one if you met it in
the road. Still, statistics show That
the feminine stomach can endure
more than the MASCULINE; woman
will eat indigestible stuffs at all
hours, and keep we'll on it, while a
piece OF cake will keep a man in tor.
ture all night. Statistics show that
women live longer than men, in spite
of corse:s.--Atchison Globe.

Displacement and Tonnage.

The term displacement" means the
weight Of the water pushed out of
place by ship. A ship at rest in
the water displaces a volume of alter
which is in weight equal to the
weight Of the ship. If our CORES
pendent will fill a tub with water.
then put into the tub a piece of wood
or any other substance that will float
and then weigh the water that runs
over the rim of the tub, he will find
1t weighs exactly the same as does
the substance he has placed in the
tub, and its weight will be the exact
measure of the displacement of the
tioating substance in the tub.
The "tonnage' of ship is what it
will carry. The displacement" is it's
own weight.

WHO SHOULD BE OUR ALLIES?

The most important perhaps also
the most glorious sign Of the times is
the drifting together of the nations
toward harmony among themselves.
Even the alliances Of the powers OF
Europe, maintained as they are by
force Of arms, are favora BILE to peace
and prosperity. Before the Iuaugur-
alton Of these alliances Europe was
split into host of little countries
perpetually warning on one another
and swapping ut one another.
The day of small things, even of
small nations. is over. Little coun-
tries have united and formed great
ones, either peaceably or by con
quest. Thus Germany has done;
thus also have Russia and Austria.
The next step will be a still wider
cooperation and welding together of
nations. Where the small countries
agreed to work together the next
thing will be that the great powers
will DO the same. This understand
ing may come through war and trib-
ulation, but it will come. Then will
begin the real republic of man.
In this cooperation of the nations
where will be the place of the United
States? We cannot longer stand
aloof from the responsibilities of
mlrnfV NUn i,cf hnnr
share for good or for i'll hencei orth to
the end. Already the nations of
Europe are putting forth feclers on
the subject of alliances with us and
making bids for our favor. Which
OF the hations of Europe is orr natur-
al ally, if there is such nation? Many
would reply at once that it is the
English, our kindred in blood, our
own kind in language. institutions,
push and grit.
Perhaps. Yet there is Russia, the
great Russia who stood by us as our
fast friend during the dark hour of
our civil war, when even England
turned her back on us. Let US never
forget the friendship OK Russia.
There, too, is Germany. There is
among our people almost as much of
the manly, vigorous German blood as
of English, and the children of the
fatherland have been among the most
important builders of our free civil
cation. Why shall we not be good
and fast friends with Germany?
France, too, the one Leading power
that is Republic, the nation that be-
friended us in the Revolution against
England and made it possible for us
to be repubic-shall we forget the
service rendered US by our sister Of
France?
The powers Of Europe are all our
allies. We need them and they need
us, We are the friend Of Their all.

footed their plans In Wilmington, in
conference with the Pussy & Jonos Co.
These mills are situated on a fine
bluff, Go feet above LIKE Erie, 90 the
outskirts OF the city. and to those
familiar with the topography OF Eric,
the situation will be readily remem.
bered when it ia stated that the mills
are located beyond 'The Lighthouse. "
Tho buildings will cover tract Of
land about 600 feet long by 300 feet
wide. and are being Substantially con
strucied of stone. brick and steel.
Future enlargement is contemplated
and ia provided for in the plans. The
arrangement of the mills and the dis
position Of the various buildings, have
been worked out with exceedingly great
care, not only for handling the stock
through the varinus processes, but also
for tho economical use Of steam and tho
transmission of powcr.
Under contract recently enterod
intn, all Of the machinery these mills
will require for the manufacture OF
pulp and papers, will he huilt by tho
Puaey & Jones Co.. and will consist of
six Solomon I3runeger sulphite digcs
tors which will furnish the necessary
supply of aulphite fibre pulp. Each Of
thesu eulphite digestsrs will weigh 65
tons. or IA total OF 800 tons, and when
they are erectad In place, tilled WITH

struction, for. respectively, making
paper specialties, which are almost
novelties on this side of tho water, and
for making fine papers. Collectively,
these paper machines alone represent Q
| value of many thousands of dollars.
| As regards a certain portion OF the
machinery for these mills, it appeared,
at one time, that the ordera for this
would not be placed with the Pussy 6
Jones Co.. plans having been made IL
adont q different system, calling fol
machinery of another manufacture. but
fortunately for Wilmington, the engi
neers in charge finally arrived at thu
conclusion that 1t would no best t.
change their we'll considered plans ant
adopt the system that required Viii
mington-built machinery, and thus th,
Pusey & Jones Co. came out ahead
after a long. continued contest witt
their competitors. for supremacy ant
for wilmington's interests.
