The whole history of the present
Philippine situation, the bishop de-

bound to assert its authority there.
Anarchy and assassination, he de-
clares, would follow the withdrawal
of the United States forces. The only
trouble, he says, lies in the Luzon
Island All the other islands are
peaceful.
The bishop thinks the proper policy
of the United States is to enlist the
men Of the islands, who are the nat
ural enemies of the inhabitants of the
of Luzon to fight against Aguinaldo's
army. Differed by Americans they
would quickly dispose of the few men
that Aguinaldo can muster.

MISCHIEF MAKERS WORK IN

His Mean Revenge on an Enemy AS
sumes Larger Proportions Than
He Anticipated.

Honolulu, via Victoria, B. C.-There
was flag incident here on the Fourth
of July which promises to be made an
international episode. Carl Klemme,
the proprietor of the Orpheum Hotel,
gayly decorated his building in Amer
lean colors, hoisted the American flag
over 1t and under the American flag
the German flag. Later friend of his
wanted to use an American flag and
Klemme good-naturedly loaned him
his. leaving the German flag floating
alone from the Flagstaff. J. H. West
saw it and ordered Klemme to haul it
down. There had been ill-will be-
tween the two men before, land Klemme
refused to take orders from his enemy.
West thereupon gathered lot of SOL
diers from the transport Sheridan and
showed them the German flag float
ing on the Fourth Of July in American
territory.
The soldiers at once proceeded to
the roof, tore down the German flag
and destroyed it and put in its place
some red, white and blue bunting
torn from the other decorations of the
building.
West was fined 500 in the police
court for malicious mischief and4the
German consul-general will make a
report OF the matter to his govern
ment.

WHY WOMEN ARE NERVOUS.

The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women ego all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part Of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms of nerv-
GUS diseases which are readily traced
to the pOisons producing them. Fur
Their research leads to the belief that
alum is prevailing cause of so-called
nervous prostration, for the symptoms
it produces on the nervous system at
ter it's absorption into the blood are
very remarkable indeed. Experiments
physiologically made upon animals by
Orfla. Professors Hans Mayer, Paul
Seim and others show that alum fire.
quently produces no visible symptom
for many days after it's introduction
into the body. Then follows loss of ap-
petite and other alimentary disturb
ances, and finally a serious prostra-
ton of the whole nervous system. The
most prominent physicians now be-
slieve that nervous prostration" and
many affections of the nerves from
which both men and women suffer are
caused by the continued absorption of
alum into the system.
Il 1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to
which salts of alumina may be intro
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alum, however,
Is still used surreptitiously to some ex-
tent to whiten bread, and very largely

be distinguished by the lower price at
which they are sold.-British Medical

TIMES AND MINING.

1t is reported that the Rothschilds
of London are negotiating for the pur-
chase of copper mine in the district
of Fronteras, Sonora, Mexico. The
price is said to be $2,200,OOO.
Mining prospects in Alpine county,
CAL. in Silver Mountain and other dis
tricts adjacent to the Nevada line, are
receiving attention, and numerous
abandoned claims have been relo-
Gated.
At the Highland Boy smelter, Utah,
there are now 10000 pounds of pig
copper awaiting shipment and that
will be sent out as soon as word is re-
ceived from the general offices in Bos-
ton.
A strike has recently been made in
the Iron Dyke, New Mexico. of a
larger body of high-grade ore than has
been found there before. the magnetic
iron seems to be changing to a sui
phide and improving a great deal with
the change.

auction or copper In 1898 has just
been submitted to the United States
Geological Survey by Special Agent
Kirchoff. The production of the
United States in that year was 526.-

increase in the production of copper
was largest in Arizona, where the lake
district also recorded an advance.

The more we observe the great fight
for life that goes constantly on in the
world the more we come to think that
what the average individual needs Is
not so much more wealth as more leis-
ure. Time is more than money Now
a man to earn that tangible success by
which the world judges merit must
sink all his finer aspirations in the
slavish routine Of money getting.
Whether you observe great railroad,
prosperous store, successful news
paper, or any other thriving institution
be assured it stands for immense per-
sonal sacrifices by the men that have
made it what it Is. Constant and indie
fatigable work, through the long days
and often far into the night, with no
let up on holidays; mental strain to
the breaking point; neglect Of family
and friends; constant preoccupation Of
mind that drives out the thought of
recreation; and absence of all oppor-
tunity to broaden out by cultivating
the liberal side-this Is part Of the
price a man must pay for success,
whether 1t is his own personal success
or the success Of some institution for
which he stands sponsor. The fearful
demands made by our condition of
society keep individuals in a very dew
IFS dance to avoid extinction. Few
men ever have any leisure. Cant
get away from business" is the uni
versal excuse, and the result is, men
become machines-and poor machines
they get rusty and crusty and bar
nacles; they slave themselves to death
to work to the pattern set by their
neighbors; they wear out rapidly and
they feel too poor to get out and give
some one else change. Enlighten-
ment is going to be the liberator of
our race, and for enlightenment we
must have more leisure. Socrates and
Robert Louis Stevenson rebelled at
drudgery and spoke boldly for leisure
as few men have done. But we will
continue to go on in our self-destruc-
tive career, until. in due course Of
evolution, we have run our course and
a new society, with new standards,
and new aspirations, have superseded
ours.

LOCKJAW STILL SPREADING.
Eleven Deaths and Six New Cases
in New York.

New York-Lockjaw continues to
spread at an astonishing rate, and
nearly every victim attacked by it sue
cumbs. There have been eleven deaths
in the last thirty hours, and six new
cases have been reported to the city
health officials. Most of the cases Off
cially investigated have resulted from
Fourth of July accidents, but two of
the latter cases arose from vaccina-
ton. In both latter cases there was
premature removal of bandages.
The introduction of serum and brain
continues, and in seven cases good re-
suits are, reported. The failure of
serum to do any appreciative good in
the earlier cases developed, injured the
faith in it, but the members of the
Board of Health still assert their con-
fidence in it's efficacy and later
results incline to bear them
out. 1t is asserted in it's be-
half that many of the operations re-
ported were perfected too late to be of
avail. Serum operations are still be-
ing made on all eases that reach the
general hospitals.
There has been little opposition from
victims or their relatives, for it Is
case of forlorn hope over again. With
death positively assured, any expedi-
ent is readily seized upon. Local physi-
clans and surgeons are chary about
going into opinions as to the cause of
the present epidemic of cases and it's
prospect of cessation, but the general
opinion is that the worst period has
been passed and that from now on
there will be a cessation in the number
of cases.

The abolition Of the exile system by
the Russian government is step to-
ward a humane administration in Grim
inal affairs by the car. Whether this
idea is a result of his efforts for uni
versal peace or whether his rescript
sprung from a determination to abol-
ish transportation for political crimes
matters little. But evidently the car
or some Of his ministers have been
reading history to some purpose. While
the building Of the rans-Siberian rail-
way was primarily a military enter
prise, even the government of Russia
could not afford to maintain that 81
gantic system for the transportation of
military stores and soldiers solely, and
1t became a matter Of prime import
ance that the Siberian territory be de-
velOped to such an extent that 1t weuId
support the railway system that has
been constructed through it. So long
as Siberia remained penal colony it's
advancement was an utter impossible
ity. The history of Australia shows
that 1t did not become prosperous col
ony until it ceased to be Botany bay
for the detention Of the criminals of
the British islands, nor did the En-
glish colony of Virginia become de,
sirable home for British emigrants I'M
til the transportation to it Of criminals
came to an end. The capabilities Of
Siberia are beyond calculation, and
once it ceases to be the home of Rus
sian convicts it will attract the emf
grant from the more thickly settled
portions Of the empire, and become a
department Of the government that will
be rich in the products of agriculture
and Of its mines. Russia will have
fewer men and women who are crimi-
nails when transportation to Siberia
ceases to be punishment for political
offenses, for nothing has stimulated
misdeeds Of that character SO rapidly
as the inhuman barbarities of the exile
system. There are both policy and hui
mainly in this new movement In Rus

The sad business Of executing the
law in the cases Of criminals convicted
Of murder, In the American, States
which retain capital punishment, is
undergoing a change which cannot
but be regarded as for the better. Two
Of the leading States, New York and
Massachusetts,, have adopted it, and
humane sentiment in the country gen
orally favors 1t. The electrodes are
merciful, and are less theatrical than
the gallows. The purpose Of capital
punishment Is not to fill the living with
horror, but, first, to put the offender
definitely and forever beyond the pos
sibility Of repeating his crime, and,
second, to convince all persons who
have criminal possibilities In them
that the law will be enforced If it is
broken. Together with the enforce
ment Of the law there goes, In the
States which have already adopted the
electrical method of execution, q firm
prevention OF sensational reports,
which are debasing to the public SEN
dment. The word deterioration"
which is popularity applied to this pro-
cess Of inficting capital punishment.
Ia a bad and incorrect one. 1t Is not
properly formed from any classic or

No one word describes the method Of
