An Interesting German.
Sebastian WINNER, ST., Of Bavaria,
Germany, arrived here Wednesday
night to spend some weeks with his
son. Sebastian WINNER. Jr. Mr.. VIM
mer is over seventy years of age, but
one would not take him to be over
sixty. For many years in his country
he has been, grain dealer, giving
wheat his main attention, and stated
when he left wheat was selling at
about twenty-three to twentyfour
marks per hectoliter, which in United
States money would represent about
1854 for almost three bushels in our
measure He said Germany was pros
porous and all the iron industries were
busy. About the Boer war he said
Germans were in sympathy with the
Beers and many of the young Germans
were with the Beers, as he knew of
one little village that had twelve of
her leading young men leave for the
war, and such examples were all over
the nation, and that the gossip at
home was that there would soon be a
great European war involving Russia,
Germany, France and England, and
that all from eighteen to thirty-six had
been called. The younger would serve
until twenty-one, and the older were
held in reserve, similar to our State
militia In speaking of Beflaire ne
said he hardly knew the city, as it had
many Improvements in sixteen years,
as he had been absent that long. Mr..
WINNER is a very interesting gentle
man to talk to and has a very warm
spot in his heart for this country. He
will remain several weeks and then
return, making his fifth trip across the
Atlantic.

Home-Along.

Home along, home-along;
Ger the world we've wandered,
Wandered far and wandered wide
We were born to roam;
Each has had his heritage
Treasured. sold, or squandered,
All have hoped-some madly hoped
To win back home.
Piteous toll our band has paid,
Part to-day are sleeping,
Where perpetual summer holds
Undisputed sway;
Others where the northern pines
Sentinel are keeping,
Laid them down to dream of home
Dreaming passed away.
Curlew's call, the moorland mist,
Fairy dells of Devon,
Channel breeze and bracken's breath,
Fragrance of the may,
Seen the best that earth can give
Life's completest heaven,
Haunt aud draw us home again,
Half world away.
Home-along, home-along;
Oh our hearts are yearning!
And we fain would rest awhile
And nor would farther roam,
Dreaming of one sweet lost face
Waiting our returning,
Listening to a loved lost voice
Whispering of home.

AVOID DISCRIMINATION.

That the people living in the
vicinity of the Queen Hotel protest
against the use of that centrally
located place for quarantine station
is natural perhaps, but we do not
think that there is much sense in
their objections.
What we kick against is the dis
crimination shown by the Board of
Health; policy which may prove
dangerous eventually.
Why should special considerations
and provisions be made for one Ha-
waiian not granted to another? Mr..
Boardman is not "white" man as
stated by the officials and by their
organs. He is a native Hawaiian
and we fail to see why any special
consideration should be given to
him which has been refused to Mrs.
Ahlo, Mrs. Paiko and other promi-
nent Hawaiians who have been re-.
fused permission even to build their
own cottages at the detention camps
at Kalihi and Kakaako.
No cases have been reported in
the places occupied by these ladies'.
Their houses have been burnt be-
cause they were within the con-
demned districts, and all they asked
was to be allow to quarantine them
selves within the detention camps
and being allowed to live in the
style they are accustomed to.
Mr.. Boardman, with whom we all
have the greatest sympathy in his
sore affliction, lived in the house in
which case of plague occurred,
and yet he is given privilege which
has been absolutely refused to
others, who have been segregated
on less provocation.
We do not understand the drift
OF the policy OF the Board of Health
in this instance, and the Chinese.
Japanese and Hawaiians cannot for
moment see the justice in pro-
viding special quarters for one Ha-
waiian and others for men and women
holding as high standing and class
in the community as enjoyed by this
favored man.
DR.. Wood is full of energy and as
rule of good common sense but he
certainly must know that all posi-
BILE show OF discrimination should
be avoided now more than evez The
farce of quarantine at the Arling
ton and in regard to those booked
to leave by the Australia may be
very correct, and not fraught with
danger, but the Chinese and others
who are being victimized by the
plague do not look at it in that
light.
Treat all alike and don't bother
about whether our unfortunate citi-
izens are "white" or Hawaiians, or
Chinese or Japanese. The Board of
Health should deal only with MAN.

Ladfes' Circular Skirt.

Skirts that fit snugly at the upper
portion and flare freely at the feet
make q marked feature of autumn
styles. The circular model lends it.
self to the mode peculiarly well and
is becoming to all slight and medium
figures, at the same time that it is
singularly we'll adapted to cloths and
all wide materials. Indications point
to many striped materials for fall and
winter wear, and the illustration by
May Manton shows the skirt in tan
cheviot with lines of brown, but all
plain and small figured materials are
equally suitable.
The skirt is cut in one piece, with
the seam at the back. 1t is fitted about
the hips with small darts, and the
fulness at the waist Is laid in an in
verted pleat at the centre back. The
folds formed are graceful, and the
flare provided means abundant free
dom for the feet. When plaid goods
is used, a good effect is obtained by
making q seam at the centre front
the pattern being laid on the bias edge
of the material in place Of on the
double fold. The plaid must,of course,
be carefully matched, but when that is
done the result is a good one. and the
sides, falling on the straight, are moi
so liable to sag.

trated, the jacket is of fawn-cOlOred
vicuna cloth, with bands of rich red
braid, the waist of soft-fnished taffeta
in slightly lighter shade with en-
broidered dots of red, that match the
braid, and worn with crush belt and
follar of panne velvet ribbon in the
same warm color. Velvet could, how
ever, be substituted for the bolero with
admirable effect, and all suiting ma
terials are entirely appropriate.
The waist is made over a fitted lin
ing that closes ut the centre front.
On it is arranged the full front, that
is tucked to form a pointed yoke. AS
shown, it is included in the right Shout
der and under-arm seams, and hooked
over to the left; but. if preferred, can
be opened at the centre, the closing be-
ing concealed by the folds. The little
jacket can be made entirely separate
and slipped on over the waist. 1t is
simplicity itself, fitted with shoulder
and under-arm seams only, and is
lined throughout with silk The
sleeves are two-seamed and are fin
ished at the wrists with Follower flare
cuffs.

Ran Away Backward.

Engine No. 1928, running extra, left
town upon the Girard passenger trains
time. The trains met on a curve on
the edge of town. Both engineers ap-
piled the air brakes and reversed their
engines, also giving a full head of
steam to mitigate the collision. The en-
gineer, fireman and trainmen Of the ex-
ira engine jumped for their lives. The
engines collided, but with only enough
force to crush the cow-catchers. Hav-
ing full head of steam and being re-
versed, the extra engine, with no one
aboard, rebounded, and at q terrific
speed began backing out Of town. 1t
passed through East Joplin going at a
rate estimated at mile minute The
dispatcher was promptly notified, and

prevent another collision. Searchers
found the engine two miles from town
on a hill, with the steam and water ex-
hausted, but with no apparent damage

to this effect by the minister of
