Where Ladies' Coal Ships and Resent
Being Cuffed.

From st. James Budget: Mary
Kingsley tells an amusing story about
West African woman. There was a
beautiful young black government Off
cial, in uniform complete, and fate
ordained one day that he should be told
off to superintend the coaling of lit
tie gunbOat. The cOaling was being
done by ladies. He, full of zeal and
DESTROYS of demonstrating it, shouted,
talked and gave directions to those Ia
dies, as he stood, uniform and all, I'M
der the government flag, on the gov
eminent quay. They went on with
their work merrily and paid no atten-
ton to him. Presently, other govern
ment officials being about, ne, still de-
sirous of demonstrating zeal, cuffed
one of the ladies and said something
disagreeable. They turned upon him,
threw him into the thin black batter
that goes for water in that part of her
majesty's dominions, and went on with
their work. A sicker chicken than that
man when he returned to society you
never saw. His uniform you could not
see for mud, and the other government
officials behaved in an unfeeling way.
They rOared with laughter

fine collection of meteOrites has
just been added to the department Of
minerals in the British museum. 1t
consists of four stones which were seen
to fall on January % in the native
villages on the eastern sloDes of Mt.
ZOmbo, British Central AFRICA. Two of
them weighed fourteen and seventeen
ounces, respectively, and the other two
twenty-nine and nineteen ounces. At
Zomba a crash like thunder was heard,
and the reverberations lasted for a few
minutes afterward, and the defamation
was heard at place ninety miles dis
tant. At one of the new villages the
people were found squatting around
the stone in a circle discussing the
miracle, as they termed it. None
would approach the stone, and it was
still lying where it fell when the Off
Gals arrived. AS far as it is at present
known, the area over which the Zomba
stones fell represented nine miles long
and about three miles wide.-Scientifc

A Paving Business.

San Francisco Bulletin: There is no
singer in the world who can draw more
than a $4,000 house. There is no ora
tor who can much raise the 81 admis-
sion fee without exposing himself to
the danger of speaking to empty
benches. If the four most popular de-
baters selected by popular vote would
advertise discussion on any question
of the day they would be fortunate il
an audience could be gathered which
would net each 1000. Yet it is stated
that there was $50. 900 in the box office
of the Coney Island Clubhouse on the
night when Robert Fitzsimmons and
James Jeffries met to see which could
punch the other harder. and which
could stand the most punishment. The
best of any class of performers always
represents a money value, but the best
fighter carries off the largest prize.

FOR DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.
National Committee Holds a Meet
ing at Chicago.
FRIENDS OF SILVER ACTIVE.
Some Changes Made In the Plans for
the Conduct of the Organization-En-
thusiastic Reception Given to William
j. Bryan.

The democratic national committee
met at Chicago May 20 to consider
plans for strengthening the organiza-
ton of the party, and such other mat
tiers as might be brought before it. 4Ae
work done may be summarized as fol-
lows:
Created the Office of vice chairman
and elected William ]. Stone to fill it.
Adopted new rules which add the
ways and means committee to the list
of standing committees.
Thanked the bimetallists for their Of
fers of cooperation and agreed to call
on them when their services are
needed
Authorized the chairman to divide
the states into groups for campaign
work.
Elected John /. Martin sergeant-at-
arms for next national convention.
Exponents of the radical silver policy
were curbed temporarily in their at
tempt to bolt from the national demo-
cratic committee because that body be-
lieves that other issues than 16 to l
should be brought to the foreground N
the campaign of 1900. The partial paci-
fication was accomplished by William
Jennings Bryan, who urged moderation
and submission to the will of the COM
mittee.
p. j. Devlin was mildly censured for
the stand he took during the last
mayoralty compaign in Chicago, and
the committee provided for a press
committee of five to attend to the dis
.semination of democratic literature,
and directed the vice-chairms to name
its members. Ex-Gov. Alleged said his
understanding was that Mr. Devlin will
be retained in the management of the
bureau
At the meeting of the bimetalists a
resolution declaring for a 16 to l ratio
in coinage and for Bryan as the presi-
Dental candidate of the next COM
paign was adopted.
William ]. Bryan was enthusiastic
cally received at the Auditorium meet
ing in the evening. He spoke against
imperialism and trusts, touching upon
silver and urged local democrats to
unite for the common interest Of the
party. Ex-GOv. Altgeld spoke from
the audience and William ]. Stone and
others were also heard.

ANTI-FREAk LAW.
To Prevent the Exhibition of DefOrmed
Persons to BE Tested.


Chicago Chronicle: George Middle
ton of the Clark Street Dime Museum
has been arrested for violation of the
new freak law, which went into effect
July /. A warrant sworn out by A. j.
Dickson, a collector, was served upon
Mr.. Middleton yesterday morning
while he was in conference with his
manager in his office in the museum.
Barney Nelson, the armless cOlOred boy
named in the bill as the freak in ques-
ton, drew crayOn portraits yesterday
with as little concern as though his
means of earning living were not up
for final settlement. The freak and
criminal law, which prohibits the pub
lie exhibition of deformed persons or
those persons bearing criminal no.
tOriety, is an outgrOwth, it is said by
museum proprietors, of disagreement
between Mr.. Middleton and RepreSen-
tative Stephen Malato. During the an
archists' trial Nina Van Zandt gained
considerable nOtoriety through her en-
gagement to Anarchist Spies, a leader
of the movement. Portraits of both
Nina and her lover were bought and
exhibited by the Clark street museum.
Later, when the girl married Repre-
sentative Malato, she regretted the
hanging of her portrait and tried to
have it removed from the public gaze.
The museum people refused, knowing
that the picture was among the most
interesting of their collection. For
many years the battle ragged before it
finally found expression in the anti
freak bill, which was aimed as the
death blow to the museum business.

Vienna Special to the London Tele-
graph: The Vienna opera house every
year stages "Fledermaus" with its best
artists. as does also the Berlin opera
house. Unfortunately this masterpiece
was the indirect cause of its compos-
er's sickness and death. On Whit
Monday "Fledermaus" was played at
the opera, and Strauss was persuaded
TO conduct the overture himself, as the
representation was for charitable pur-
poses. Doctors had forbidden him to
undergo any fatigue, as he suffered
from chronic affection of the bronchial
tubes. The master was always excited
while conducting, and had been espe-
ciaily warned against any sudden
change in temperature He left the
opera in heated state, took cold and
felt i'll on returning home. Although
astonishment filled the opera house at
the freshness and vivacity of Herr
Strauss. who was IA years old, and the
vigor with which he handled his baton,
1t soon appeared how weak he was, and
how little fitted his nerves were any
longer to bear the fatigue and excite
ment of public appearance. He was
soon afterward seized with general
feebleness, and was unable after that
day to leave his room, but nothing
serious was apprehended He worked,
according to his custom, during the
night, sometimes till the morning, at
the composition of ballet, "Cinder-
ella to be acted at the opera house.
This work gave Strauss much pleasure,
and he caused the first act, which he
had just concluded, to be played be-
fore him by his stepson, the pianist,
Herr Epstein. He intended to finish
the two other acts at Ischl, Salzkam-
| mergut, to which place he was to have
removed soon afted for the summer. On
a Friday he was seized with shivering
| and pronounced Inflammation of the
lungs, which pursued such a rapid
course that the doctors declared the
case hopeless on Saturday morning
During his delirium the great composer
talked of his music, but when he partly
recovered consciousness he expressed
hopes for recovery and entertained no
idea Of death, of which he always dur
ing his lifetime was so afraid that the
word was never pronounced before
him. His last words to the doctors
were "Auf wiedersehen." He dieG
painlessly, surrounded by his friends.
His last thoughts were devoted to the
progress Of his music.

HAWAIIAN COMM
1t Has Had Its Development Under Pro-
tective System.


The Hawaiian islands are an ex-
ample of commercial development I'M
der close or protected system. l.
was in 1866 that the islands first
touched an interest of s1,OOO,OOO in our
import trade, chiefly through the whale
fisheries as they made a convenient
stopping place for American whalers
The interest was not doubled until the
reciprocity treaty went into effect
QS1O, and sugar became the great ar
ticle Of commerce, with rice as the sec
ond in importance, but representing
only One-tenth the value of sugar The
granting of free entry into the United
States for these two products was
equivalent to renting to the Ha-
waiian planters the sum of 81 ,000, 900
year, every dollar of which acted as
a bounty on production. 1t was nat
ural to find that so liberal a gift was
soon appreciated, and the energies Of
the islands were directed into laying
out plantations of sugar and rice. AS
rice proved of uncertain profit, the
cultivation for export has not pros
pered, although the domestic consump-
ton increased through the influx of
Asiatics. The exports of this grain
were 2.250,000 pounds in 1876, attained
a maximum of 13,6S4,20O pounds in
1887, and are now about $500. 900
pounds year. Very different was the
course of sugar, for which the only
market was the United States. Be-
ginning with an export of 100000
pounds in 1876, it passed 100000, 900
in 1882, doubled itself within four
years, passed 3OO,O00,O00 pounds in
1898, was 443, 100000 pounds in 1896,
and in 1897 touched $40, 100000 pounds.

sence of power to increase in the fu-
ture The annual bounty of $1,000, 900

Of the reciprocity treaty was then
