The carnival Just closed offered the peo-
pie fully twice the amount of entertain
nlent ever offered here before. All of us
know the affair was artistically a sue
cess. Yet while I have no recommendation
to make know that no future celebration
can be a success if the work connected
with it rests upon the shoulders of one
man and If that one man is also harrassed
by tie embarrassed condition of the treas
uIv.
Fully 5000 people were at one time in
the Auditorium at the Rex ball. Had every
one of them paid only one dollar this So
ciety would not be confronted with great
shortage again, and not cent would have
to be obtained by public subscription, but
instead of pay, l have seen a plumber of
people there who never contributed a cent
to our fund. Yes, people who insulted our
committee when they called upon them for
donation. How they obtained admission
should be investigated and the result of
huch investigation should be published.
Thanking you one and all for the assis-
lance rendered me in the past and espe-
cially m this last carnival, which has
proved to me the most trying and difficult
orceal ever encountered, am truly yours,
EMIL. LESSER, President.
On motion the presidents report was re-
cieyed and ordered filed.
Def cit of $3.50
1t was explained that the total indebted
ness of the society was about $1,000, with
estimated assets of 81 $780, leaving a deficit
of about $3.50.
The first question before the meeting.
said President Lesser, was how this amount
could be raised. He further stated that 1t
would be'impossible to hold another carni-
val under the same plan, and suggested
that the New Orleans or Mobile plan. where
only members of the society be admitted
to the floor of the Rex ball free might be
advisable.
He also suggested that the carnival be
fair but urged the necessity of first pay
ing off the old debts before considering the
question of another carnival
Emil Levi of the firm of Solomon & Levi
offered to head a subscription list with $25
towards meeting this defcite, but In lieu
of the adoption of any plan the offer was
temporarily laid aside.
Pete T.. Houppert suggested a grand cake
walk at the Auditorium with other features
the entertainment to wind up with a dance.
Mr.. Houppert thought that sufficient
number of tickets at so cents each could
be sold to wipe out the deficit.
Major Chas. WheeloclS and DIR. j. W.
Hughes endorsed the suggestion, and a mo-
ton was made to place the matter in the
hands of a committee OF five with power

OF CUBA TO-DAY.

The attitude of General Gomez at this
time makes him the most prominent
figure in Cuba and presents him as
probably the strongest candidate to
arise for the Presidency of the new
Cuban republic when the island is ready
for such an establishment. At the rate
paciication and betterment of condi-
lions are going on under our military
administration of affairs the republic
will be realized at much earlier date
than was anticipated.
The Cuban Assembly has disappeared
as a factor in adjustment With it's re-
moval the way will largely be cleared
for local government. We hear
now very little talk among Americans
of annexation. If that subject is again
preached it is likely that it will come
from the Cubans thieves, and not
from Americans. The Assembly was
very little more than a. talking club It
had no existence in the economy of our
administration of affairs. 1t assumed
to be a governing or supervising body
without the slightest warrant for that
usurpation.
Probably the United States will for a
considerable time have to maintain a
mild form of protectorate over the
island and guard the local governing
authorities to the end that the new
form of free government to be set up
may grow to strength and fair proper
tons. 1t is asserted that there is a
growing disposition and expression
among the Cubans for annexation of
Cuba to the United States. That is. Of
course possibility, but the American
Government is doing nothing to pro-
mote or encourage it. If there is a de-
mand for annexation it will flow from
Cuban desire and expression wholly
We recognize that it will find in this
country a strong sympathetic response.
But that this Government is doing any
thing out of keeping with its declara-
ton that it entered Cuba only for the
purpose of pacifying the island and en-
aiding the people to establish local self
government of character that will
stand alone is untrue. There has been
no step taken. no procedure inaugur-
ated that warrants the charge freely
made that we are secretly plotting to
absorb the island and annex it to the
American Union.

well informed contemporary is not
aware of the fact that the State law
prohibiting just such practices still
lives, and that the same law does pro-
vide IAN agency with special powers
to enforce the law-and more, with
power to prevent it's violation.
In Sacramento these violations are
very few, being infrequent where once
they were as many and shameful as IN
Stockton The change has been effect
ed by. the vigilance of the Sacramento
County Humane Society, special
agency" under the law, that for more
than ten years has been doing great
good in this community. Stockton
once had just such a society composed
of some of her best and most generous
citizens. Why has it died? Did public
neglect, Indifference or WEAKNESS per
nit it to succumb? If SO. more the
shame to Stockton.
Eut, by the way, assuming the com
plant of the 'Independent'' to be ac-
curate, what is the matter with the
Stockton police force? And again, what
is the matter with the good citizens
who, aware of these outrages in their
midst, have not the courage to inter-
.fere or to cause the arrest of offenders
that examples may serve as deterrent
influences?

A VAIL FROM STOCKTON.

The Stockton Independent" in an
earnest editorial, bewails the insensi-
bility of that community to the rapidly
growing evil of cruelty to animals in
that city. 1t declares that exhibitions
of brutality by act and neglect are
common on the streets. 1t adds that
not only is the neglect of domestic ami
mails fragrant In Stockton, but that
abuse of horses by drivers is shamefully
prevalent. It adds: ut is unfortunate
that some agency is not provided by
law with special powers to enforce the
dictates Of humanity
1t is first amazing that such things
should be permitted in Stockton as the
Independent" recites. Secondly, it is
amazing that out esteemed and usually

HALF-MAsT THE FLAG TO-DAY

At the Arlington Cemetery to-day,
under the auspices of the United States
Government, escorted by the troops OF
the Nation, with the chief officers of
state as mourners, in common with the
body of the people, the remains of the
soldiers of. the Union who fell in the Gu
ban campaign will be inferred with
simple but deeply impressive ceremo-
NAL.
The President, as Commanderin-
Chief of the Army and the Chief Magis-
trate of the Nation, has directed that on
all public buildings the national flag
shall to-day float at half-mast. That
order cannot extend to other persons
than those in charge of public buildings
and quarters; but. wherever there is a
flagstaff upon which it is customary to
float the American colors from time to
time. the Stars and Stripes from the
rising Of the sun to the setting thereof
to-day should hang at half-mast in
honor of the heroisn. devotion and sac
rifices Of our soldier dead.
The new incident at Samoa suggests
the thought that there is something
very odd, to put it mildly, in the fact
that whenever we have difficulty with
any of Germany's representatives
abroad, the German Government
promptly repudiates their acts, but
never Furnishes the offender. At the
next convenient opportunity the same
or another German representative Of
tends and the same farce is gone over.
1t was so in Cuba, it was so in the
Philippines, it has been three times
noted in Samoa. If custom holds good
the same peculiar conduct will continue.
The situation seems to be this, that
Germany has an understanding with
her representatives abroad that they
rupture, and note what follows, the
Government meanwhile standing ready
to disavow the acts Of its agents in time
to prevent the breaking off of friendly
Of this conduct now in the possession

nlents to justify demand upon Ger
man for explanation of this very pc
culiar conduct Not only is it true that
the representatives of the Emperor in
Cuba, the Philippines and Samoa are
found to be antagonistic to US and OBJ
structive of our procedure, but even
when the offending agent has been re-
moved, his successor, fresh from the
home Government, Immediately enters
upon the course Of conduct which
caused the original offense- This has
'been especially and significantly true
in Samoa for the past twelve years.

The sad news comes FROM the coAs'
Of Maine that the lobster crop is a
failure and that the Maine lobster Is
destined to become extinct unless he
is protected by the government. The
reason for the decadence Of the card
inal of the seas" is not SO much the
injury to his feelings caused by the
cruelty of restauranters in announcing
"broiled live lobster" as by the pre-
cipitate haste Of the Maine fishermen
in catching him before he is fit to be
broiled at all and submitting him to
the humiliation Of canning. If this
process goes on the lobster is likely
to take his place In history along with
the canvas back duck and the terrapin,
the lost heritages Of generation unfit
to appreciate them.

In all the public statements credibly
attributed to Admiral Dewey he has
shown himself remarkably discreet and
tactful While at Triest recently the
correspondents of certain newspapers,
in search of sensations, transmitted al
legged interviews, which made the hero
of Manila bay appear, to say the least,
indiscreet. One pretended interview,
cabled from Triest to New York pa
per, quotes the admiral as saying,
among other things which he evidently
never said, that ''our next war will be
with Germany" OF course Dewey new.
or made any such statement, and the
newspapers which first gave it publicity
subsequently discredited their own
stories Dewey is not only an expert
naval officer. but he is diplomatist as
well and is not given to random hys-
terical talk which might embarrass his
government or prove irritating to q
friendly power. 1t is shame that such
false interviews should be given pub
hcity when the effect Of their pubNca-
ton. unless contradicted, is apt to stir
up international discord and to unjust
" discredit the popular hero who IL
misrepresented

From the Minneapolis Lumberman.
The River and Logs.

The Mississippi river is at high
water this week owing to the heavy
rains last week and the fist Of this
on the west side iof the river be-
tween Minneapolis and Grand Ra-
pids. The tributaries now at high
est flood are the streams on the
west of the river from this city to
Pine River, the Crow Wing being
the highest feeder. The water In
Minneapolis was SO high that the
boom company deemed it safe to
shut down it's turning of logs on
Tuesday afternoon, and to the pres
ent writing, and probably to the
end of the week, no logs pass the
sorting gap. Word was received
from Little Falls Wednesday after
noon that the water there was the
highest ever known, and that the
mills were shut down. Thursday
afternoon the word came that the
water had fallen an inch and a half,
though Wednesday night it rose in
this city nine inches, making'it seven
feet above the low water mark 1t
is likley that the crest of the flood is
near this city and that it has passed
Little Falls. II so week from to-
day is likely to see logs running to
the mills once more. AS yet no mills
in this city have shut down for want
of logs, but some of them are near
the end of their pond supply.
Tomorrow the rear of the first
drive of the Northern Boom COM
pany will come over the dam at
Brainerd, when the crew will go
back for an other drive. The drive
has been a long and hard one, it hav-
ing taken two months to come from
the northern limits OF the boom.
The rise of the Crow Wing has made
it possible to bring out a drive of
100000 feet of logs hung up about
a hundred miles from the mouth.
The drive belongs to the Bovey-De-
Laittre Lumber company, of this
city.
The Powers-Simpson company
have finished their railroad logging
to the Mississippi river for the sea-
son, having landed over this road
from Hibbing to the river 41, 900, 900
feet of logs this season. They have
already begun operations for the
win ter's business.

Improvement Of the Highways.

The general improvement Of high
wayG through the country is gratifying,
and the good work should be continued
General Roy Stone, director of road in
quiry Of the department Of agriculture,
says that more activity is being dis.
played in road improvement than has
been shown for years, not only in the
construction Of new roads and in the
general agitation for their construction.
but in the betterment of old esta blished
highways. There are, he says, about 40
road conventions slated for this autumn,
mostly in the northwest, under the au-
spices of the Interstate Road Improve
ment association. In the south and
southwest there is similar activity, ar
rangements being made for the con.
struction Of number of "object lesson
roads, at various agricultural colleges.
The bureau Of which General Stone is
the head is overrun with applications
for advice on road legislation, for in
formation regarding road building ma
chinery and for assistance in road con-
struction. All this is pleasing evidence
that the people are becoming alive to
the necessity Of good roads

CUCUMBER PICKLES..
Two Recipes From an Excellent
Household Authority.

Two Recipes From an Excellent
Household Authority.
To fulfill its mission as q tempting
relish pickle should be not too large,
but firm, crisp and we'll favored. For
the realization Of this condition the
cucumbers must be we'll selected and q
good formula for their preparation
carefully followed out. In Table Talk,
Cornelia @. Bedford gives two picking
recipes. The first Is for "sweet picked
green cucumbers," us follows:
For one-balf Of a bushel Of small Gu
cumbers allow one-half Of q pound of
white mustard seed, one-half Of a
pound of black mustard seed, one-half
Of an ounce of whole allspice, one-half
OF an ounce of peppercorns, one-half OF
an ounce Of mace, one ounce of freshly
grated horse radish, one-half Of an
ounce Of celery seed, one-half of an
ounce of stick cinnamon, one dozen red
peppers and one-haf of a pint Of white
button onions. Pour boiling water over
the cucumbers and let them stand un-
til cold, then drain. Sprinkle them with
salt, one-half of a pint to each 100 Gu
cumbers, and again cover with boiling
water. Let stand in this brine for "a
hours, drain and cover with fresh, cold
brine Of the same strength. Drain
daily for six days and cover with fresh
brine. On the seventh day drain and
wash In fresh water, cover with weak
vinegar, heat slowly and keep at q
very slow simmer for five or six hours
until the cucumbers look plump. Drain
them. wipe dry and pack in jars, add
ing to them the mixed spices. Cover
with boiling hot cider vinegar, to which
Is added for each quart one-half Of
pound Of brown sugar.
Recipe No. 2 reads thus: Select the
smallest cucumbers possible. To each
100 allow one ounce Of whole cloves,
one ounce Of white mustard seed, one
large tablespoonful OF salt one cupful
Of sugar and two small red peppers.
Put the spices In thin muslin bags, lay
them in kettle with the washed Gu
cumbers and add sufficient vinegar to
cover. Heat slowly to the scalding
point, take from the fire and bottle.
Examine them every week or ten days
after they are first put up to make
sure that they remain firm and solid.
II some soften, remove them and drain
the vinegar from the remainder. Add
one-half of a cupful Of sugar to each
200 pickles, scald the vinegar and pour
1t boiling hot over the pickles.

Summer Curtains and Awnings

Summer Curtains and Awnings.
Thin white curtains In q window
always suggest daintiness and refine
ment, but where the sun shines strong
they make too glazing an effect inside.
For this reason, says. Harper's Bazaar,
the softer, sheerer muslins, those with
less reflective surface. are to be pre-
1erred. Fellows and pinks In soft
shades and sheer materials are in use.
When the eye Of the neighbor has to be
considered, a pretty fashion is to have
a thin curtain next the window. this
curtain to be drawn back or Topped or
so arranged as to look well from the
street, sheer transparent color being
hung straight, inside, next the room.
No one from outside can see through,
and those inside can see out without
being deprived Of any light. Heavy
curtains are used inside Of these when
required and are generally Of silk or
chintz in bedroom, Of silk, tapestry
Or rich stuff in a drawing room or
library. In summer, when awnings
are used, these thick curtains are taken
down. Green or white awnings, by the
way, should be used instead Of the
blue or the red and white.

The inside of Chinese pawnshop is a
terra incognito to most people, Chinese
and English. Few are admitted within
its mysterious walls except those directly
connected with the business. A traveller
was recently permitted to inspect one in
an inland town and was surprised to find
the entire building incased in sheet iron
about one-eighth Of an inch thick. 1t
must have cost large sum to build an
iron house within the usual lofty brick
edificc, yet there it was. even to the roof.
It served twofold purpose, protection
against fire and thieves. Yet even within
this iron castle night watchmen armed
with heavy revolvers and clad In bullet
proof jackets ever keep watch.-St. Louis

l.. D.BrOWn,

The roof garden has become valid
able adjunct to city life In summer,
aud is a place where many people who
work hard during the day find comfort
and enjoyment in the evening, famed
by cooling breezes and RECALLED with
cooling beverages, while they drop tho
cares of business and listen to the mu-
sic. 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that Brother Moody has suggested tho
roof garden as desirable place FOR
holding religious services during the
summer months. The suggestion Is
not bad one and is likely to be fol-
lowed in various large cities. There Is
no reason why sinners should have
monopoly ON all the pleasant summer
evening resorts
