CABINET THINKS OF NOME
Will Send Transport to Bring Back the
Needy Miners China.

Washington.-The regular Friday
Cabinet meeting was held today. The
Chinese situation was, of course, the
all-important question, but as the
United States has announced its policy
to the powers, no further step is pos
sible until the replies are received.
The question, therefore, did not actu-
ally receive much consideration at the
meeting today.
Only two other subjects, besides thai
of China, were considered condi-
ton of several hundred or thousand
destitute miners at Cape Nome, and
of a large number of Indian tribes in
Alaska. 1t was decided that the War
Department should send transport to
Cape Nome to bring back such of the
miners as are penniless and liable to
endanger the public welfare there this
winter by reason of their destitute
condition. 1t is believed that a large
proportion of those who fiocked to
Nome so early in the spring, hoping
to strike it rich' are stranded. Pro-
visions and clothing will be sent to
the Indians, who are said to be destt-
tute.
When the Cabinet met today, so far
as known but one reply to the Amer
lean note had been received. This is
from France, and expressed, so it is
said, complete acquiescence with the
United States view of the situation.

ARMY CANTEEN ENDORSED
Gen. Corbin finds it Satisfactory Aid to
Good Discipline.

ingtoll.-Adt.-Gen Corbin has
written a letter to Senator Sewell, of
New Jersey, a member OF che Military
Committee of the Senate, setting forth
the attitude of the War Department
on the question of the army canteen.
Gen. Corbin says:
THE sale of all spirituous liquors
by the canteen is and always has been
absolutely prohibited. Only beer and
light wines are sold to either officers
or men, and these only when the COM
handing officer is satisfied that giving
to the troops the opportunity OF OBJ
tanning such beverage within the post
limits will prevent them from resort
ing for strong intoxicants to places
without such limits. and tends to pro-
mote temperance and discipline among
them.
THE canteen was established and
has been maintained in the interests
of temperance and betterment of dis
cipline, with most satisfactory results.
This is shown in fewed trials by court
martial, in the decreased number of

BIRDS THAT LIVE IN COLONIES.
South African Feathered Creatures De-
veIop the Social Instinct.

South African Feathered Creatures De-
veIop the Social Instinct.
The social weaver birds Of South
Africa build their nests in colonies I'M
der a common umbrella-like roof, prob
ably woven for defensive purposes
against the intrusion of snakes. The
gardener, one of the, bower birds, con-
structs it's highly decorated nest with
adjoining ornamental spaces, apparent
ly for the purpose of furnishing an at
tractive meeting place for social inter-
course with its fellows. The spotted
collar bird-a cousin of the crow-pre
pares its artistic bower, a sort of as
sembly room ornamented with shells,
pebbles and other bright-colored brio
a-brac, where in due time festive gath
erings are held, and much apparent
mutual admiration attends the strut
ting and dancing of the males.
The European lapwing also carries
out its taste for social intercourse to
the extent of holding dancing parties,
described by Hudson. At these the
birds, who live in pairs, are Joined by
a third, and all three, keeping step, be-
gin a rapid march, uttering resonant
drumming notes in time with their
movements. AS the march ceases the
leader stands erect, while the others
bow before it, and the visitor returns to
its own quarters to receive a return
call from one of the other two, when
the quaint performance is repeated.

Starvation Imminent.

Washington.-The transportation
companies, it is claimed, refuse to aid
the unfortunates at Cape Nome. Win
ter will come by the end of Septem-
Der, and the transport, in order to eff
feet relief, must be sent at once.
Gen. Randall estimates that there
are 1000 persons in Nome in danger of
starvation. Information received from
several official and unofficial sources
shows that the Alaskan Indians along
the coast from Cape Nome are in a
serious condition. The miners, it is
rumored, have gathered for their own
use nearly all of the driftwood which
the Indians have been accustomed to
depend upon for their winter fuel, and
in some instances the cabins of the
Indians have been torn down by the
miners and the wood used by them,
regardless of the suffering Indians. In
addition to these Affections, it is said
that the grip in a most virulent form
has broken out among the Indians,
and that altogether their case is one
which calls for immediate succor. The
government has taken hold of the
matter, and no doubt provisions,
clothing and medical attention
through the marine hospital service
will be forthcoming.
The other matter discussed at the
meeting was that of better roads in
the Philippines.

Notes from the Oil Fields.

The Central Oil Company has added
another large producer to its property.
The new well adds $50 barrels per day
to the output of the company. Another
well goes on the pump in a few days
and September Will snow an increase
of production over any other month of
at least 5000 barrels. The price con-
tinues at slips per barrel and the de-
mand largely exceeds the output from
the % wells now pumping.
The New Century Oil Company has
uncovered a 200-barrel producer in
P1acerita Canyon, in the NeWhall field
The oil is a pure white distillate of
about AZ deg. gravity, and has been
used under the boilers for some time.
1t burns with an intense heat, and has
been successfully used in gasoline
engines. H. o. Haines, treasurer OF
the New Century Company, says that
this oil is worth $3.50 per barrel as it
flows from the we'll.
The Los Angeles Oil Exchange is to
publish a daily bulletin. 1t will con-
members of the exchange, of the
exchange, of the transactions of the
day, the standing of companies and
others matters of interest Beginning
September 1, the exchange will call
stocks daily at 10 a. m.
The Redondo Beach Oil Company's
well at Redondo, which has been
watched with considerable interest,
has been abandoned and the drilling
tools shipped away.
AT Little Sespe, Four Forks and Tar
Creek, all very close together, the
Union has 25 wells producing on an
average about 20 barrels a day each.
In Torrey Canyon the company's No.
46, which was recently brought in,
shows up for nearly a hundred barrel
well. Nos. 40. A and 4S are drilling
at various depths. A rig is up for
No. 40 and locations have been. made
for Nos. so, 81 and SO. In Adams Can
yon the company has one well drill
ing. Preparations are being made to
drill 4000-foot hole in this canyon, if
found necessary.
A lease has been recorded between
the Elsinore Oil and Development
Company and the Temescal Water
Company, whereby the first mentioned
corporation is to be permitted to put
down wells in the east end of the dry
lake bed on land belonging to the
water company. One of the conditions
is that development shall begin at
once.

DeutschIand's Fast Speed.

New York.-The steamer Deutsch-
land, of the Hamburg-American line,
has again eclipsed all. previous rec
ords for fast transatlantic travelling
She has broken the eastern and west
ern records. Her time on the voyage
just ended was 5 days, II hours and
20 minutes between the mole at the
entrance of Cherbourg Harbor and the
Sandy Hook lightship. At noon on
the 31st she passed the record for the
fastest days run, making 5S4 knots.
Her average speed was 1872 knots per
hour.
The Deutschland sailed from Ham
burg August 25, Southampton and
Cherbourg, Goth. She passed the Cher
bourg mole at 9:55 on the evening
of August 26, arriving at the Sandy
Hook lightship at 5:24 a. m. today.
On the trip she had moderate winds
and sea, with occasional hazy weather.
Her daily runs were 397, 566, $40, 5S4
and 423 knots.

Miss Helen Gould knows how to be

Miss Helen Gould knows how to be
happy, though rich. The pretty story
of the dance at Fort Yellowstone, in
which Miss Gould waltzed with the
troopers and had a good democratic
time, is one of many. 1t is the art of
being human-human in manner,
thought and sympathy. 1t is not easy
for one overburdened with wealth to
escape the sin of pride and avoid the
aloofness which draws a line between
fortunes pets and common humanity
But Miss Gould does it. simply and nat
urally. 1t is an example worthy of imi-
tation. Great wealth can be made the
means of happiness only when employ
ed as other gifts should be-in making
others happy. Selfishness is the one
unfailing source of misery. To be happy
one should think nothing of ones self.
but everything of others. Miss Gould
seems to be unostentatiously practicing
this human art.

The action of the officials of the Rock
Island Road in placing ban on cigar
cite smoking on the part of employees,
following similar action by the Burling-
ton road, will not fail to impress the
public mind with the fact that the
movement against the cigarette is one
of business and not of sentiment. Dis
cussion of the cigarette habit has been
confined largely to the domain of eth
les, although we are treated to occa-
sional disquisitions from the medical
fraternity upon the deleterious effects
of the practice upon the mind and body.
The public has learned, however, that,
it is not always necessary to take the
doctors seriously upon these questions.
The doctor has been found to be very
fallible human being, given to much
guessing and learned speculation. 1t is
found that men quite often grow fat
on diets and drinks that are condemned
by the physician. But when a lot of
hard-headed railway officials, who are
not animated in their business by senti-
mental considerations, promulgate IRON
clad edicts against the use of the cigar
cite among their employees it is safe
assumption that they have found the
habit to be positively harmful, so much
so that it impairs the usefulness of
those VINO are addicted to it, and, if in
dulged in to excess, renders them unfit
for the peculiar responsibilities that be-
long to the railway service. There is
perhaps no industrial service in this
country that depends for its success
upon the steady nerve and the unflinch-
ing fidelity of employees as does the rail
way service 1t is found that excessive
cigarette smoking skaters the nerves
and clouds the intellect. Men who be-
come slaves to the habit are not de-
pendable men. They cannot be relied
upon in the emergencies that are Incl
dent to the railway business. Rather
than make any rules governing or regu-
lating indulgence in the habit, the rail-
way companies wisely concluded that
the safest course is to forbid the prac-
tice entirely. When the railway man.
ayers and the doctors get together on
the cigarette question all defense of
the pernicious habit might as well be
abandoned.

A GOOD THING
The Poor Ride Free in Boston--A Street
Railway Corporation With Soul.

TBOSton Transcript: The Boston
Elevated Railway Company is carry
ing on a valuable work here. 1t is
the custom of the management each
year at the beginning of the hot sea-
son to send to the officers of the char
liable associations and the pastors of
churches situated in the poorer sec
tions of the city many thousands of
free tickets, each of which entities
the bearer to a free ride on any week
day over any of the lines of the COM
pany Last year fully 100000 such
free tickets were issued and a CORE
spending number of children, mothers,
sick and aged persons, to whom the
expenditure of nickels for pleasure, or
even health, would be hardship, were
enabled to spend a day or an after
noon in the pure air of the country,
woods, or seashore, away from the
heat, noise and dust of city uenements.
These tickets cost those who receive
them nothing and entitle the bearer
to exactly the same privileges as
though cash fares were paid. The
method of distribution is simple:
Tickets are sent to representatives of
the churches and associations, ire
spective of creed or nationality, in
quantities commensurate with the
number of persons, more or less de-
pendent on each institution, and the
only limitation, if such IL can be
called, placed by the company upon
the distribution is an accompanying
request that the tickets be given to
those to whom they would be benefi-
cial, and particularly to poor children
and their mothers.
