TWO TIN PLATE VIEWS.


paper. the largest and most influential OF
the country. The New York Tribune
is a Republican, paper of well known
record. In each of these papers Of the
18th instant there appeared utterances
on the tin plate combine. a typical trust.
which are exceedingly instructive when
considered together.
The Commercial said:
'.On Friday last an advance Of 20
cents per box on tinplate was put into
effect by the American Tin Plare Co.,.
tl.e concern which controls absolutely
the tinplate industry of the United
States. This rise equals about 121a per
cent. since. as applied TO plates weigh
ing 100 pounds to the box, it was from
81 to $4.50. To state that the trade
is astonished is to put it mildly. 1t
would be more accurate TO say that
every man directly concerned feels a
sense Of personal outrage. which is all
the keener from the fact that. for the
Present ut least. there appears TO be no
help for it.
"A representative Of this paper. on
asking the selling agent OF the combine
here the reasons for their attitude, was
informed that the Tin Plate people
knew their own business The 'peo-
ple-be-damned' policy has never been
carried further and more successfully"
The Tribune said:
Fifty thousand men who s.were on
strike last week at tinplate works scat
Tered through all the great States be-
tween Boston and st. Louis, are to-day
rsreiving higher wages than they ever
received before. and higher than have
ever been paid in the tinplate manufac-
ture anywhere else. Most of them are
men Of more than ordinary intelligence.
and are Hkely TO have considerable in
filence where they live When
Mr.. Bryan comes before them and
demands the destruction of all these
trusts as enemies of the people and
cruel mOn0lDlies. the $4,000 t'inplate
workers will consider among themselves
whether they would prefer no combina-
tions and lower wages" b.
1t is of course superfluous to point
ont where the money comes from to
Fay the higher wages" or that the 90
600 Workmen do not receive even 1.-THE
and odd millions of the American peo-
pie who are paying forced tribute to
the tinplate trust. 1t is hardly prOba-
BILE that the people who pay the piper
do not understand that the tinplate
workers secured these higher wages
only by Threatened tie-up of all the
tirplate plauts. With an Increased
profit Of 12la per cent. on It's entire out
put the tinplate combine can very well
afford to increase the wages Of its en-
ployes and. make hay while the sun
shines rather than have its mills idle
and be worried with a strike. But II
the 10000 are pleased with the status
what of the siXty-nine and odd millions?

He CONCLUDED TO QUIT
There Will Be No Coursing for
Several Weeks.
HARES HAVE BEEN STOLEN
Dug Hole Under the Fence-An Inter-
esting Day at Coursing-Billy Walker
Was Himself for the First
Time This Season.

There have been IA days this season, of
which IL have been stormy, and Manager
MacDougall of the West Side Coursing
park has concluded to quit for a week or
two to give the weather and some other
matters time to settle, so there will be no
more coursing until further notice
In the meantime, some one can earn
s25 by giving information that will lead
to the conviction of the parties who have
been stealing hares from the park. Last
week some one dug a hole under the
fence and at least eight or ten, and prob
ably many more, good hares escaped
Once before a hole was found which
might have been caused by water, but
more likely was made by human hands
through which at least % jacks made their
escape. 1t seems incredible that man
would entail the possible loss of several
hundred dollars worth of hares on the
park for the sake of getting run or two
for his dogs.
The courSing yesterday was very inter-
esting. Billy Walker and Barrister show
ed the effects of their training and care
by which Smith has made himself quite
noted as a trainer. Billy Walker was
really at himself for the first time this
season and was simply flying. Barrister,
too, was great winning his course with
Black Spring by the most bitter piece of
staying he has ever shown and also out
stayed Lady Fullerton in a desperate
course and had the hare to himself at the
end, killing only a few seconds too soon
for his own good. 1t was a surprise to
see this old sprinter running his courses
at the end
Flashlight went out in the first round
before Black Spring. They had a no-go
first in which Flashlight led a long way
for first, went by wide and was unsighted
in the dust, Spring going on with the hare.
In the run-off he did almost precisely the
same, Spring scoring just enough to beat
him. AS the white was a 4 to l favorite,
there was much disappointment and some
kicking, but when hound will not stick
to the line of his game all the speed in
the world will not save him from occa-
sional defeat. All 1t needs is a brace mate
good enough to take prompt advantage of
the opening.
Smut and Lady Fullerton both ran
splendidly. Smut beat Montana Chief in
a fine trial. then beat game Little Mis-
chief rather easily, then gave Billy
Walker a run for his money that made
Bjlly's friends look serious for few mo-
ments. But the game little fawn came
again and won well. Billy led up and
scored the early points. then Smut had
quite an inning, but Billy's strong finish
did the trick.
Lady Fullerton ran with great fire and
gameness. She will run over a little ON
the turn now and then, but Is usually
lightning quick on the turns. She beat
Starlight in the first round in a good trial.
beat Butte rather easily in the second and

in and gave her a sound beating at the
ehd. the hare escaping just in time to
leave the tired lady a winner. The bitten
got after another hare before she could
be caught and ran herself to a standstil
after 1t, so was very properly withdrawn,
allowing Billy Walker to take first money

SAMOAN DANCING.

orally Lively.
A favorite amusement for old and Young
Is the silva, the word meaning to dance. II
is not, properly speaking, dancing, saws
the National Geographic Magazine. but is
more like an acting charade, for. Al
though accompanied with music, singing
and slapping of hands, the silva has no
steps or regular figures, it's motions con-
sisting of slow pacings. bodily and facial
contortions, and what may be called de-
scrptive acting. The actual silva Is per-
formed by girls The dancers are pre-
pared for the silva by copius smearings
of cocoanut oil applied by some female
relative, followed by a careful adjoining
of the glistening body with the lava-lava
or loin cloth, and flowers for the hair and
neck.
The subjects represented all relate to the
life of the islands, and are frequently
given with versimilitude which leaves
nothing to the imagination. Courtship,
marriage and the care OF children find a
leading place in the representation, while
making poi, spearing the fish. padding the
canoe, gathering fruit. and also some OF
the Giving pictures are not omitted. AS
the pace grows liveler frequent drafts of
ksva incite the dancers to renewed ac-
tvities, and often, as the excitement
grows, subjects of grosser nature are
given and frequently before the conclu-
sor of a first-class silva the girls divest
themselves of even the pretence of cloth
ing. the lava-lavaS following the flower
garlands until the space in the hut de-
voted to the performers is filled with a
swaying mass of glistening bodies and the
odor of the cocoanut oil becomes simply
overpowering to the few civilized onlook-
ers who are permitted to witness a genu-

London Markets.

London, July 16.-Business on the stock
exchange last week was almost at a
standstill. so far as speculation was con-
cerned, owing to the sudden advance in
money. The markets were nervous and
fidgety and the prospect of dearer money
prevents any hope of an early revival.
The feature of the week vas the selling
of consols, which at one time were as
low as 1914, nearly six points below the
best for the year.
Prices generally dropped. Americans
We're irregular and closed weak, the deal

Topics Of

There was an interesting and excit-
| ing three-cornered fight yesterday in
| Centerville in which a man, woman
! and a big, black, short haired dog par-
! ticpated. The man was handica pped
by a large number of drinks. He ''jol-
lied" the dog by thrusting the toe of
his brogan in the CANNES side. That
offended the woman, who evidently
owned the dog, for instead of calling
him. the dog emitted a yell and circled
around behind the woman.
It's the likes OF ye the dtvil claims
Bad cess to ye, sure ye're a BACKYARD

kick dumb haste of a dahg.'

right and put it squarely on the nose.
The man staggered over against large
boulder and said something which the
woman evidently understood, and then
she made pass with both hands, but
missed.
The dog made up the third party and
then it was a Kaleidoscope apparition.
The dog emerged from the engagement
without a scratch. but the mans face
was twisted and he lost much hair
from his head. The woman, after
mending her calico, will recall the Incl
dent by a small scar on her left cheek.

The Antlers, who have evidently been

over among themselves and concluded
to challenge the bankers, who so I'M

but the Antlers want more of it, and
the bankers, any one of whom can hit a
high ball or catch a fly, will, of course,
take the Antlers down to the firing line
and kill them off in two and tours. Bill

A party OF friends were seated at q

Yes. lots of them, before I heard
that they were sure shot on appendi-
citis. Since then l have scratched all
kinds of seed fruit"
The young physician saw an open
ing and he delivered himself of a lee
ture which the megaphone caught
about like this:
Now, Will, you are like a great
many other men l know. They have
just such queer notions as you have.
There is, might add, almost popular
yet false notion, that appendicitis Is
caused by a strawberry or grape seed
or other foreign substance getting into
the veriform appendix. In thousands
OF opera tons which have taken place
many in time to save the life of the
patient ana many too late-there is
not one authenticated case of foreign
substance such as a seed, being found
in the appendix. The true cause of this
disease is the setting up of inflamma-
ton and consequent gangrene in the
tissue of the appendix, usually due to
the insufficient circulation of the blood
in the part itself.
LAS l told you, they don't find seeds
in the appendix. This fact you may
more readily and fully realize when
you have in mind that the interior of
the appendix is big enough to admit
only a medium sized darning needle"
DR.. Sem, medical authority, says of
the disease:
During the last few years so much
literature on the surgical treatment
of inflammatory affections of the ap-
pendiX has accumulated that this sub
ject has become somewhat threadbare
and confusing. l have performed at
least $50 operations for the LESSONS Of
the appendix. The present knowledge
concerning appendicitis and it's COM
plications is largely the work of Ameri-
can surgeons. The surgeon must to-
day bring more convincing proof Of
the correctness of his treatment than
the simple recovery from the opera ton.
He must give the reasons for the nee
essity for operative Intervention in or
der to convince the members of the
profession of the correctness of the
ground taken by number of surgeons,
that the appendix should invariably
be removed when it is the seat of an
infective lesion. There are exceptions
