The Prince Rebuked Him.

They are telling on the other side of
the water the following story concern
ing the Prince Of Wales and a wealthy
American who was much to the fore at
Cowes. The prince is fond Of telling
stories, some of them, alas! no longer
new, and being aware of this fact the
transatlantic visitor considered that it
would be good method of winning the
good will of the arbiter Of English society
to show Il warm appreciation of the royal
anecdotes. The prince, says the Wash
ingtOn Post, who is no fool, was quick 10
detect this, and determined to avail him
self Of the first opportunity to show that
he understood the little game. The occa-
sion soon arrived. The Prince was tell
ing story, and happened to pause be-
fore he reached the point, whereupon the
millionaire, in his anxiety to please eX-
claimed with a hearty. though not alto
Ecther natural laugh, Sir, that story just
hit me-" yes" slowly replied the
prince, 'T thought It had missed fire"

A native Maori chieftain, the descend,

distinctly humol Gus flavor, says the
Youths Companion. Fol instance
1t is said that once chief captured
missionary who was old and thin, and
looked as if his flesh would be tough.
The missionary warned the chief that he
would not make a good dinner, and pulled
up his trousers, cut a slice off the calf of
his leg and offered it to the chief
The chief tasted it, said he didn't like
it, and passed II to a sub-Chief. The sub
tasted it. made a wry face, and passed
it on. The next man who took a bite Of

President DiaZ,
Y n COMMENTING upon the pro-
\ iccted visit Of the president of
4 McXico u Chicago upon the oc-


jccted visit Of the president of
4 Mexico to Chicago upon the oc-
caston Of the laying of the cor
ner stone of Chicago's new federal
building, the Mexican Herald says:
General Diaz will go to Chicago not
merely in his high capacity as prcsi-
dent OF the Mexican republic, but as
the representative Of ij,OOO.OOO people
of Latin America, who are now watch
ing the developing imperial policy of
the Inited States. He will meet face
to face the president of the great re-
public, who is prudent and patriotic,
and whom he firmly believes to be
filled with cordial sentiments toward
Mexico and its sister republics of the
southern half of this hemisphere. 1t
will be an historic occasion, and we
make no doubt that out of the friendly
feeling will result great good to the
peoples Of the three Americas There
is nothing in the character of Presi-
dent Mckinley to justify the attacks
made upon him by pretended friends
of Latin-America."
We have in this guarded utterance a
broad hint Of the concern felt among
the Latin-American race at the expan-
sive tendencies of the United States
The feeling is not unlike the curiosity
experienced by the neighbors of a man
who plans an addition to his home
which will make it the most important
nGi1 i,,
there is in it, furthermore, something
of the characteristic suspicion Of the
Latin race toward movements it does
>> not fully understand. 1t is on a par
with the uneasiness which Mexican
poems used to manifest upon the ad-
vent In their vicinity Of railway sur
veying parties, bringing in a new order
OF things which had to be studied in
the light of experience to be compre-
hended and appreciated.
President Diaz, in the twenty-threr
years that he has been at the head OF
the Mexican republic, has given too
many evidences Of progressive ability
and intelligence to be in any degree
alarmed over the American policy OF
expansion, which is simply a counter,
part on a larger scale of MeXicos de-
Velopment under DiaZs administration
1t can safely be assumed that he per.
sonally is far superior to this racia

CURRENT VERSE.
The Haunted Organ.

Here in the old cathedral, dim in the
waning light,
Where day seems always dying and never
departs the night
High mid the lofty arches, Impressed by
human hands,
Silent, alone, deserted the haunted organ
stands.
O'erhung with dusty cobwebs, like laces
old and rare,
Its reeds all choked and rusty, no melody
fingers there.
For now in the solemn darkness no flick
crlng tapers CLEAN,
And the last "amen" was spoken In days
that are all dream.
They tell tale of the organ and of one
who used to play,
A heavon-inspired musician, in a long
since vanished day:
For once DER the cChong organ there
swept n jubilant strain,
AS it told the bliss of loving with love
that is not in vain.
But there came n change o'cr the music,
to a sad and a minor key,
As 1t followed the soul of his loved one
DER the tide of the silent sea,
1t told n sad, sweet story that made the
teardrOps start
For his soul gave forth Its sorrow and
he played with broken heart.
All, then there was swccter music than
ever had been before.
For it seemed to echo the anthem that Is
heard on the heavenly shore
But the voice of the organ was saddened
with a tremulous tale of tears,
And 1t sang no jubilate in all the after
years.
There was ever the cadence of sorrow in
its melody soft and low,
As he played, the old musician, with hair
as white as snow.
And once, in the shadowy twilight, with
his hands on the keys, tits said,
They found him sitting in silence, mis- soul
with the music fed.
Today, in the old cathedral, no more
is offered prayer:
The bats fly in unhindered and the birds
are nesting there.
But sometimes, out Of the silence comes
a soft melodlous strain,
That seems to seek expression and seeks
1t all in vain,
1t may he only the murmur OF the idly
wandering breeze,
AS 1t enters the organ, longing 20 walker
its harmonies;
But methinks tits the soul of the music
that was heard so long ago,
Made by a spectre musician with hair as
white as snow

Fruits of Protection.

~ vivid the wonderful effect
which the policy Of protection
has had in stimulating American in
dustry. Noting as phenomenal the

The Gossips of the Night.

The stars CLEAN brightly overhead,
Sweet incense floats upon the breeze,
And many reckless things are said
BY tiny gossips in the trees!
The cricket boldly Chirps away,
Beneath some dead leaf safely hid
What time a hundred voices say,
without reserve, that Katydid.
The full moon rises from the dark
TO flood the world with Ghostly light;
distant dogs protesting bark
Adds to the lonesOmoncsS of night,
And all the while the gossips claim
That Katydid, and no one there
Vouchsafes a doubt as to her shame
Or minimizes the affair
l gaze up at the starry dome
And wonderment possesses me;
1 think of beings there, at home
Upon the mighty worlds l sec.
And fancy that, perChance, tonight
Some mortal leans upon some wall
On yonder little point Of light
And hears of hapless Katy's fall
The window that was bright before
Across the dewey field and green
Displays it's patch Of red no more.
And loneliness brOods DER the scene;
But still from every nodding weed
The restless gossips loudly bid
Me understand it is agreed
Beyond dispute that katydid.
o, little tattlers, you remind
Me Of the women and the men
Who ever look about to find
Their hapless neighbors out and then
Go crying "Katydid!" that all
The gaping world may be aware
Bound that the one who chanCed to fal
Shall crawl in dust and linger there,

HUMAN NATURE STUDIES
Novel Way to Hear a Sermon.

President Henry Wade Rogers, of the
Northwestern University, and his wife
have moved into the slums of Chicago
and have taken up their residence there.
Mrs Rogers is the president of the Set
tlement Society, and Doctor Rogers has
been greatly interested IN this work for
many years. The doctor is a tall, impress
sivc, eloquent man. and has entered earn
cstly into his new labors But he has al
ways been earnest, and as a boy he was
something of an investigator too, relates
an exchange. An old playmate tells the
following of him.
Their schoomaster was once talking 20
them of literature. In the course of his
talk he said: There are sermons in the
stones, the running brooks"
The future doctor interrupted with:
"Well if there are sermons in the rum
ming brook, ] should think they'd let us
swim on Sundays instead of listening to
the dry old stuff we have to-"
But, then--that was years ago.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-09-26

1880 was s71, ,2ds,6 500. For the year end-
ed June 30 last they were only sl2,09S,-
22q, the smallest in any year Of which
we hnve record. Thus while in the
twenty years the exports increased s7S,-
g9g, ,i27. the imports decreased S5917S,-
400. In other words. the increase IN
exports Of iron and steel manufactures
Is about $1,000 900 more than the total
of imports of their highest year, 1871.
This showing becomes the more re-
markable when the fact is recalled
that Il was not until 1894 that our eS-
ports of these products exceeded the
imports In no year since then has
different story been told. on the
contrary, the margin between the en-
cess Of exports over imports has stead
lily widened until last year IL amount
ed to SS1,6l6,-l2
"Tho rapid growth in these exports
and the simultaneous decrease in Inn
ports seem to have been coincidcntal
with a similar growth in the produce
tiCn of pig iron i'm the United States
The latter has increased from 3S35.10l
tons i'm 1850 to Il 900 900 tons this year
although the last named figures are
partly estimated. Tho estimate, how.
ever, can be regarded as conservative
and it is the consensus of opinion in
the iron ana steel trade that this
growth will continue"
There is no way to account for this
extraordinary development save on the
basis of the protection received by the
home iron and steel industry in the
years when 1t would otherwise have
been at the mercy OF foreign comreti
tion. By the figures just quoted this
cardinal doctrine of the Republican
party stands unanswerahly vindicat-
ed

General Ludlow's Rebuke.

A good story has reached the War de-
partment about General Ludlow, military
governor of Havana, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the es-Herald.
A Cuban visited him recently to ask for
a concession. AS the visitor reached out
his right hand to grasp that of the
American, his left deftly dropped a $50
bill on the desk in front of the officer.
General Ludlow saw that it was intended
as a bribe, and he put on an affable air.
He offered the visitor a cigar and then
"Si, ST, senor," responded the delighted
Cuban.
General Ludlow had picked up the $50
bill casually aud twisted it into a long,
slender roll. Touching a watch to 1t, lie
handed the light to the astonished Cuban
and then used the $50 lighter for his own
cigar.

THE MAN WHO DID.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
The eyes and the minds and the hearts
of the Americ people have tIrlah,
through the last year and nalf, toward
one man. They have listened eagerly
for every word that he said, and they
have watched for every deed that he did.
When they have heard and have seen,
they have felt that the words which he
spoke and the deeds that he did were
the best that could be spoken and done.
One day they had scarcely heard his
name. The next day they felt that he, of
all, was the one in whom the nation
should be proud, and they themselves
were proud that they were of his nation.
lie was the type of all that was best
in the character of his country. lie had
won a victory such as an American
should win, and he had won it i'm the
American way. More canb be said than this.
Because Of a newly grown, or newly
strengthened friendship, it is well to say
now that he won an AnGlo-SaXon victory
in the Anglo-SaAon way. Calmly, dis
passonately, like a student at his desk
he studied and mastered what he had
to do. Then firm, collected, cool pre-
pared, he went about it. This was the
American-the Anglo-Saxon way. All
this done, his battle being before him, he
knew only one way-to plunge into 1t, to
fight 1t and to win it. This was the
American-the Anglo-Saxon way.
II was then that the American people
admired him and were proud Of him
After this he stood alone, thousands Of
miles from home, and upheld the dignity
of his country against all odds and com

place, 1t has often been said. could have
done all that he did. 1t may be
true; IT is glorious if it is. If any other
American had done what the admiral did,
he would be deserving Of the same honor
