STUDENTS GROWING WHISPERS

The students of Missouri university
have organized a club to promote the
growth of whiskers The bylaw
which were adopted on Feb. IA, ars
rigid and exacting. No student will be
permitted to shave before next April
and something more than a moustache
is required. The student who has
the longest beard at the close OF school
is to be rewarded The club is said
to owe its existence to the fact that
the pupils became distressed at the re-
marks regarding their extremely
youthful appearance.

HONEST FOLKS IN SWEDEN.

In certain parts of Sweden, where
the most absolute confidence is reposed
in the honesty of the people, very in
formal postal system is in vogue. As
the mail steamer reaches a landing
place man goes ashore with the let
tiers. which he places in an unlocked
box on the pier. Then the passer-by
who expects a letter opens the box,
turns over the letters and selects his
own. unquestioned by anyone.

fearing, even in his dislike OF the
American, that the new rule may mean
unparalleled progress in the island.
Two hundred dollars an acre for we'll
grown trees, with adequate shade
above them, has hitherto been consid-
ered a good round sum for a planta-
ton, though as much as $500 has been
paid under Spanish rule. Here is a
fair estimate of the cost to man con-
templating the purchase of 100 acres OF
coffee land and converting it into
paying investment:
One hundred acres of land, with
trail leading from it, not over
20 miles from coast harbor, at
$40 an acre ................. 81, 1000
Clearing of land, preparing the
soil, planting coffee-bean, pla-
tano and guava trees, at $50
an acre ........ ............ 5000
Wedding for four years, cutting
out the platano, at 500 an acre 2,000

This represents an establishment
with modern machinery but plain
buildings; boiler and engine, pulping
machine, steam drying-drum, huller
for second shell, polishing machine,
classifier, blowers, bins for handling
and final sacking The machinery,
except the pulping machine, may be
dispensed with, and the coffee bean in
it's last casing dried in the sun on
cement floors, or in fiat shallow boxes
supported on rails, to be run under
cover, but the saving would not ex-
coed $4,000, and the expense Of hand
ling the coffee would be increased,
while the marketable price would be
greatly reduced, as 1t Is necessarily
sold to the coast merchant, who finally
prepares it for market in his own
mills.
The returns for this outlay would,
approximately, be as follows
Second year, coffee $4,000 lbs.) at
an average of Is cents a pound $75l
Third year, coffee 10000 lbs.) at

A DISAPPOINTED PARTY.

A party OF about 40. Including many
OF the employees OF Owen, Moore & Co.,
gathered at Portland Pier last evening
with the expectation of passing pleas
ant evening at Littlejohn's island. They
had arranged to 60 down on the Alice

workman from Diamond island went to
Peaks Island for the night, as the captain
thought the projected trip would be
postponed on account OF the weather.

a great disappointment to the gathering.

Helena, July 1O.-The supreme court to-

ing the petition says that the matter
omitted and some of the matter allowed
in the bill of exceptions We're immaterial.
The court declares that the action Of the
lower court in one particular was not
worthy of emulation. The court also dis
missed the motion of the Boston & Mon
tana to modify the courts rules in re-
gard to the time for filing transcript on
appeal.
Judge Knowles today issued warrant
for the removal of Bud Nolan and Dave
Putty, two alleged Union Pacific train
robbers, arrested in Dillon, to the juris-
diction of the federal court of Wyoming
The men were not represented by counsel,
as they had no funds. They desired the
government to furnish counsel, something
that Uncle Sam is not in the habit of do
ing. They offered no objection to the is
suance of the warrant. They will be

Meiklcjohn and Under Sheriff Moore of

Loyal Capt. Dyer.

Melrose, Mass. July 1O.-Capt. N. M.
Dyer, who with the U. S. s. Baltimore led
the second attack of Deweys squadron
! upon Montejo's fleet at Manila. reached
his home in Melrose this afternoon. and
i received the plaudits of its people. The
captain was met at the station by a large
/ crowd. brass band and fire company.
Capt. Dwyer was detached from the Bal
timore three months ago on acSount of
III health. Capt. Dwyer said:
"The situation in the Philippines. I
think is quite encouraging. OF course the
only thing to be done is for the army to
go in and put down the rebellion. The
sooner this is done the better and this
will be done the sooner when you have
put down the people at home who are Civ
ing aid and comfort to the enemy. That
is what it amounts to. The rebellion
would not have lasted nearly so long if it
had not been for the sympathy of thess.
people. They are doing more harm than
they know. They are deluding the nsur-
gents. Information of what is going on
at home is sent to the insurgents a. once
They are led to believe that all the acts
of the government are dscredited by the
people, and that as soon as the people get
a chance to do so they will overthrow
the administration. So the insurgents
think that if they hold out for a while
longer the present administration will be
overthrown and that they will be allowed
to do as they please. This state of af-
fairs is due almost entirely to the ma
chinations of these goody-goody people
of Massachusetts and other states. They
should be suppressed as quickly and ef-
fectually as possible that the work of
putting down the rebellion may be made
easier and quicker"

Possibly a Murder.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 10.-The st. Louis
police department today received letter
from DIR. Charles H. Hughes, the eminen.
neurologist who attended Joseph b. Nc
cullagh, the late editor of the st Louis
Globe-Democrat, requesting that another
investigation be made of the editors
death, which occurred on December 13,
1896. Mr.. McCullagh had been confined
to his room for several months prior to
his death with a complication of diseases.
His body was found early in the morn
ing of the date mentioned in the yard just
below the window of his room
Theories of accident and suicide were
advanced. Now DIR. Hughes says that
after thinking over the matter these
years he feels it his duty to suggest to
the police the possibility that murder
was committed. The place at which the
body was found, he says the evident vio-
lence of his fall. the injuries done to his
head, the distance at which he struck the
sharp corner of the wall opposite the
window, suggest that the editor was
pushed out of the window. Mr.. McCul-
lagh, the doctor further says. was very
much attached to his adopted child,
Gladys, and frequently declared that he
intended to provide well for her.
could any prospective heir have been
so wickedly interested in the death of Mr..
McCullagh without leaving a will as to
have brought about his death intestate?"
asks the doctor suggestively. Mr.. Nc
Cullagh left no will and his property was
divided among many heirs in this country
and ireland. 1t is also suggested that
possibly Mr.. McCullagh had enemies.
Chief of Police Campbell has not yet
decided what steps he will take in acting
upon the letter.

Revolution Threatened.

San Francisco, July 1O.-Several lead
ing citizens of Guatemala, just arrived
on the steamer San Juan, confirm the re-
ports that a revolution is threatened In
that country. A prominent planter now
here said:

the surplus production of coffee, explains

is Over-production."
The Call says that President Cabrera
is charged with having ordered the coin
age of silver standard piece, 600 fine
in place of s35 fine. This brought storm
about his ears, and he laid the blame on
the superintendent of the mint, who now
lies in Jail. In order to adjust matters
Cabrera made a demand upon the banks
for subsidies of silver. This was refused
