and Patrick, the exer.
cises of the Colfax High School were
postponed until Wednesday.
At the appointed time Wednesday
morning the LeSsge Hall was crowd
cd by the friends Of the school to wit.
ness the exercises. After q few well
chosen selections of music and well
prepared declarations were present
ed, the PhDomathian Literary Socie-
ty opened their annual debate by
discussing the subject, Resolved that
the Works OF Nature are More Beaut-
iful than those of Art"
Space will not permit US to CON-
ment separately on each argument,
but We do have space enough to say
that they were all, on both sides OF
the question, well prepared, and de-
livered in manner that shows that
either the participants are natural
dsbaters or much time and skill had
been used in preparing the subject.
Perhaps both.
After the debate was over, Mr.. w.
B. Clarke, as spokesman for the
judges, in q few well chosen remarks
handed down the decision in favor of
the affirmative.
At the evening exercises too many
good things were done and said to
attempt to do the exercises justice
here, but We wish especially to CON-
pliment those who took part in the
Garland Drill, the Signal March and
the fencing exercise, all giving undis-
puted evidence of great patience and
labor on the part of those who par
ticipated, az well as those who super
intended the drills.
The next days exercises was given
mainly to the primary department,
and quite well did the little fellows ac-
quit themselves in the various parts
assigned them.
The evening exercises closed the
session OF most prosperous yearfor
the Colfax High School. The pro-
gram, as published, was carried out,
concluding with the commencement
address by Supt. J. A. Williams, on
the subject MAN, a Unit, Labor His
Lot" BY special request the fencing
drill of theprevious day was repeated.
At the close of the program Prof.
Hines made very impressive talk to
the patrons and children, with a brief
review of his work and ali outline for
the coming year. In his closing re-
marks Of farewell more than one eve
was dimmed with tears, SO attached
are his pupils to him and Prof. |
Patrick.
The entire house then babe them |
good bye, wishing them a happy va !
cation and a safe return to Colfax at |
the close of their season of rest.
Colfax feels proud of herself that |
she has been able to secure the servi-
les OF these teachers for another year,
and the prospects of the Colfax High |
School are brighter now than they
have ever been since it's organization. |

NO RUSH IN STOCKS

there are offsets to these influences,
chief of which is the comparatively
easy condition of the interior banks;
but the probability is that an active
bull speculation in stocks at present
would quickly be checked by frmer
rates and possible stringency IN
money. 1t is quite certain that heavy
buying and a sharp advance in stocks
Just now would prove an irresistible
temptation to a bear raid and serious
attempts to manipulate the money
markets 1t is safe to say this would
ibe done; yet the opportunity would
probably not be overlooked if it came.
Ordinarily some relief would be ex-
pected from gold imports. Our trade
balance continues favorable and for
eign selling of cur stocks has abated;
but Europe may be very reluctant in
parting with the precious metal, and
this would be disappointment
Money is rapidly going into the treas
ury; so that with trade and crop de-
mands to be supplied any unusual
drain on the banks would have to be
met by liquidation This would effect
ually retard any upward market in
stocks. Until there are indications OF
a return of funds from the interior. to
New York we shall continue to adj
wise conservative operations in stocks.
especially as all the good dividend

ket will really be strengthened by

FAST, IN FRONT OF TRAIN.
Daring Rescue Of a Woman and Two
Children by a Brakeman.

Irvington, Sept. ia woman who
was a stranger here. and her two chill
dren, started to cross the track at the
station, in front of a southbound ex-
press train. Her gown caught on a
bolt or some other obstacle and held
her a prisoner in the middle of the
track. AS the train came laundering
on, she stood there with her children
whom she was holding by their hands.
and screamed for some enc to release
her. A brakeman on a local freight
train heard her and jumping from his
train, picked her and the children up
and dashed them on the platform just
as the express went by. Her escape
was marvellous. The woman's gown
was torn from her back, but she got
on the next southbound train and went
on her way. The brakeman jumped
on his train and went on toward AL
bany as though nothing had happened.

in an expansion policy and feels GER
tain that the country will back up the
president in the course he has marked
out. In the next place he feels quite
confident that within six months the

which the democrats now propose to
make the leading one of the campaign
of 1900 and that the democratic party
will suffer from the course it now pro-
poses to follow.

WAY TO SUPPLY REED BIRDS.
Thriving Trade Done By Sparrow
Catchers in Paterson.

Paterson, N. j., Sept 1.-Two men
appeared on the declivity below the
Grand street reservoir of the East Jer-
sey water company this morning and
stretched on poles fully Is square yards
of a netting so fine that il was scarcely
visible. Great numbers of sparrows
gather every morning on the reservoir
wall, and it was for these that the men
were trying. Within two hours they
captured 125 birds, which in their
flight from the high wall flew straight
into the net and became entangled.
Spectators who were curious enough to
inquire to what use the birds were to
be put found the two catchers very
frank. They said they made a bust
ness of sending them to the New York
market as reed birds. Further inves-
tigation showed that the men are not
by any means the only ones engaged
in the fraudulent trade in this vicin-
ity. The netting is made by two
Frenchmen. They have instructed a
number of persons in the way to use
it, and, as the material is rapidly de-
stroyed by the birds, the makers of it
are reaping a harvest on their little
speciality.

Southern California is as follows:
There are no especially new features in

Prices remain strong for staples, ce-
reals generally higher. Orders for fall
goods are very large and free. Activ-

signs of diminution. Iron mills are

In our immediate district business is
satisfactory The farmer and horti-
culturist generally have made money
in spite of a dry year. Hundreds of
wells have been sunk and the water
developments of the seasons of '98 and
'99 have been estimated at 10000

usually good price returns.

Democrats Who Will Not Share in ar

Boston, Mass, Sept 13-The demo-
cratic state committee is threatened
with disintegration on the issue of ex-
pansion. One member has offered his
resignation because of it's action on
the issue, while Lawyer Harry !.
Jaquith, who. was one of the most
rabid free silver men in 1896, has said
that if the democracy OF this state
declares against expansion and calls
upon the president to withdraw the
army and navy from the Philippines
he is quite likely to resign. His
friends say that his convictions on
this subject are so strong that he
could not and would not support
party which should go counter TO
them and that If the state convention
follows out the anti-imperialist policy
which has evidently been marked out,
Mr.. Jaquith will leave that party and
support the president placing country
before party always.
Mr.. Jaquith believes that the presi-
dent in this or any other war should
have the moral support of all loyal
citizens until the war is ended and

Coffee Culture in mnMnii.

There is some coffee land on all the

the group that has land for public
settlement. This is true OF other in
dustries than coffee. The principal
coffee districts in the island Of Hawaii
are: Kona, 4S, 900 acres: Puma. g..
600 acres, and Hilo, 1875, 900 acres
but comparatively small percentage
of this acreage is planted with coffee
or suitable TO its cultivation.
Careful figuring reckons the cost OF
caring for a coffee plantation at from
$3.50 to 5000 per acre for five years.
There is comparatively small quan-
