The sign umbrellas seen in front OF
stores where umbrellas are sold are
commonly of cloth, though made in a
very considerable variety of coiors and
combinations of colors, and sometimes
in place of sign umbrellas there are
used for the same purpose balloon
shaped contrivances of cloth. In front
of retail establishments where UNI
brellas form but an item of the stock,
as, for instance, mems furnishing
goods stores, the umbrella sign goes
out only in rainy or threatening
weather, to call attention to the fact
that there umbrellas are sold; the sign
in this case is like the sign of rubber
shoes set out in like circumstances in
front of shoe stores. Such sign UNI
prellas are commonly supplied by
wholesale dealers to their customers.
The wholesale dealer is likely to keep
sign umbrellas or other accepted UNI
brella emblems flying all the time, as
do also the establishments selling at
retail umbrellas exclusively, of which
there are not very many. At such an
establishment, however, the sign per-
manently displayed may be of rather
more elaborate and costly character
than those more commonly used. being
perhaps not folding umbrella, but
one made of metal. with the inside
painted and the top gilded-a gold UNI
breiia.

Guam Welcomes Gov. Leary.

Captain I.eary's little province OF
Guam is more interested in the band
which is portion OF the Governors
outfit than with the change Of soyer-
eighty OF the island.
The Governors house at Guam Is
large, with spacious grounds around it
and barracks for the military close by.
In this house lived the former Spanish
Governor, who. when an American
man-ofwar came into port and fired a
few warning shots, went on board to
apologize for not returning the salute
because he was out of powder, and
then he found himself a prisoner be-
fore he knew there was any war.
There is an abundance of shooting
and fishing about Guam. Deer and
wild fowl.can be shot with ease near
the town. Most of the fishing is done
by the natives at night. They go out
in their boats With great torches. The
light of the torches lures the fish to the
net or spears of the fishermen. The ma
tives have a curious sort of water
clock. 1t consists of a bucket of water
and cocoanut shell. The shell is hol-
low and is pierced by a small hole,
through which the water gradually
makes its way, filing the shell. The
aperture through which the water
passes is made of such a size that il
takes just one hour for the shell 20 fill
and sink to the bottom of the bucket
The roads about Guam are Sid to be
excellent, and the rice fields through
which they run are remarkably fertile.
Rice and copra are the two chief pro-
ducts of Guam. Rice. indeed, forms the
chief articles of food in the island, and
all about the town the paddy fields
lie shining with a vivid green. The cul-
tivation of rice can be extended over
much more of the island than it is now,
and, by proper planting, two crops a
year can be raized.

RICH WOODS PLENTIFUL
Mahogany as Common In the Philip
pines as Ordinary Lumber Here.

Cuba and the Philippines are des-
tined to cut considerable figure in the
lumber trade as soon as American
methods of push and enterprise are
adopted. Cuba possesses some OF the
best mahogany and Spanish cedar in
the world, and the Philippine Islands
are covered with mahogany, ebony,
camphor wood and other valuable hard
wood forests. j. g. Hinkle, practi-
cal furniture maker, recently wrote to
Charles Il. Sigh, OF Spokane, from
Manila, as follows:
"There are half dozen hard woods
here that take high polish. They are
somewhat lighter than mahogany in
appearance. | know the name of only
one, camphor wood. l think the others
do not grow in other places. The ma
tive names would not enlighten you in
regard to them. Ebony is also abund-
ant. 1t is OF mahogany that wish to
speak. The meanest howell as well as
the plainest partition work is of ma
hogony. Notwithstanding its abund-
ance, lumber is high here. The ma
tives work almost for song, but when
it comes TO whipsawing LOCO feet OF
boards, you can understand why many
people cannot stand much of this song.

Runaway.

"Uncle Sam" Mcclure, the veteran
driver of the Continental bus, had the
first runaway Saturday evening that be
has had for sometime and was thrown by
his team for the first time in his long ex
perience with horses.
The bus had been over in North Mar
tinsburg and when returning across the
railroad at 6.3o O'Clock the horses fright.
ened at train and started down the hill
at arapid gait. They were about as much
as the well-known old horseman could
manage and 10 keep from running into
other teams ahead he pulled them to the
side of the street and the front wheel OF
the bus struck a telegraph pole opposite
the Troy laundry. The contact with the
pole was rather sudden and Uncle Sam
was pitched into the middle of the street.
The front wheel was demolished by
striking the pole, but the horses took the
bus on up the street on three wheels. They
were caught in front OF Buxton's store.
The fifth wheel of the bus was also pulled
apart and the crosspieces underneath were
slightly damaged.

Handsome Wagons.

The Auburn Wagon CO., is now COM
pleting several beautiful specimens OF
wagons, for its display at the big Carriage
and. Wagon Builders, Exhibitions. which
takes place in the Grand Central Palace,
New York, next month.
These annual exhibitions are attended
by some two to three thousand dealers
from all over the United States and from
foreign nations.
The display comprises, regular two
horse gear finished in oil and varnish with
aluminium iron parts; A four horse gear
in Natural Berkeley County Oak simply
vanished and the iron parts bronzed; A
one horse one ton coal wagon, with roller
cut under and admirably finished in lemon
and green This is one OF their new styles
(the FIRST Of this kind having been built for
Evans & Shaffer Grocer Coz. The in
terror is divided into half ton compart-
ments. The wagon is compact and weighs
less than liz ton.
There is also a Little Giant Ore Horse
with wing body, finished in carmine and
lemon, one of their regular styles, but the
distinguishing feature, is that it being
built on Coil Springs, something new, and
to avoid the necessity of balster springs.
The Company has just completed ar
rangements with the patentee and already
has orders in hand from their various
Agencies for over one hundred to be de-
livered as soon as possible. Two horse
wagons will also be built on these coil
springs. This display reflects credit on
every department Of the works, from the
woodmakers and blacksmiths up to the
painters whose artistic skill stands promi-
nent, and is quite an advertisement for
Martinsburg as we'll as the Auburn Com
pany "Martinsburg, w. Va" is promin-
emily displayed on various parts of all of
the wagons, as it always is on every wag-
on made and shipped by the Company.
They are just in receipt of another order
from their Australian Agents and the
prospects are promising for quite an
amount of business in the future from
that far distant country.
