LOOKS INTO FUTURE.
Mrs. Cau Says before Twentieth Gem

an VIII he President.

at is my hope and firm belief that be-
forethec.ose the twentieth century a
woman will have been elected president
of the United States" said Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait. who is looked upon as
the probable successor of Susan B An
thony as the head OF the National Amer
icau Woman Suffrage association.
"1ou may think this statement rath-
er strong" continued Mrs. Gait, but
II were prophet that would be my
prophecy, The agitation to lead up to
that result must not be sudden, but
gradual.
I'VE women suffraglsts are working
steadily and earnestly for gradual
change in the state and national laws
WI ich will put woman in her rightful
pos iition In the world, both political and
social. The strides made by the wom-
an suffrage movement in the last 80
years fully Justify my hope for the fu-
ture. Why so years ago the opposition

the feeling against woman suffrage is

ARE EXPENSIVE INSTITUTIONS
The Great Cost Of Maintaining the
United states SubtreasurIes
Made Plain by Figures.

An idea of the outlay required to
maintain subtreasuries can be gained
from the figures of Uncle Sans official
pay roll. The salaries of the assistant
treasurers in charge of these institu-
tions range from $500 to $4,000. The
assistant treasurer at Chicago re-
ceires $4,000 annually, and the
cashier, the next highest salaried man,
gets $4,000. AT New York the assistant
treasurer is paid $4,000, while his cash
Ter gets $4,000. There are 13l employees
In the New York branch of the treasury,
and their compensation, which ranges
from $120 10 $4,000, amounts TO $l94,-
OS0 annually.
AT Philadelphia, the next in size to
the New York institution, there are 81
employees, whose pay ranges from $720
to $1,000, and aggregates S42 $40. At the
chicago subtreasury, the third rank,
there are 26 employees, whose compensa-
tion ranges from $720 to $4,000, and ag-
gregates $37.700. The other institu-
tions of this character are smaller, but
the salaries OF the employees correspond
with those in the larger cities.

A Ride in a Runabout.

Charles Barnard pictures in st,

article on "The Automobile" the de-
lights OF long ride in an electric run

Why! it's ready a buggy-a bicycle
on wheels. The seat is in front and
there is a closed and covered box be-
hind and under the seat. Take a seat,
please, on the right, while turn this
crank. Don't be alarmed; she will not
start. This crank fits into a socket in
the side of the buggy, and few turns
sets the motor going. There! Now
we are ready. and I'll pull the crank
inside. Yes, he does tremble little
as If eager to rush away. Now! All
ready! I'll sit on the left, where
can see the road.

"Pigeon Cure. "

II the following facts were not
vouched for by highly distinguished
physician, DR.. Legue, it would be
| permissible to regard them as an in
vention suggested by sundry OF the
marvellous cures" in vogue in the
Middle Ages. Dr.. Legue was put on
the track Of his curious discovery by
one of his patients, who informed him
in the most casual manner, and as if
there were nothing extraordinary
about the statement, that she had tried
the pigeon cure" for meningitis, and
for the first time with limited success.
DR.. Legue had TO confess his entire fg-
norance of the cure in question, and
to ask for an explanation Of its ma
ture. II was then revealed to him
that IN this skeptical age, and in Par
is, OF all places in the world, there are
people who believe in the efIicaclous-
ness, as a remedy for certain maladies,
of the blood of a freshly killed pigeon.
The head of the patient to be treated
is shaved and then the breast Of the
pigeon is to be ripped open by the
operator" and the warm bleeding
carcass Immediately applied TO the
barred skull. The believers of this
cruel and seneless cure imagine that
all fever is drawn out Of the body by
the hot life-blood and quivering flesh
OF the pigeon. The extraordinary
thing is that faith in the cure is wide
spread, and recourse to it Is frequent.
DR.. Legue, who has thoroughly inves-
tigated the matter, has been able to
obtain the address of a shop in the
Central Markets at which nothing else
is sold but pigeons destined to this
strange purpose. The business done is
so brisk that the late proprietor, Nine.
Michel, has been able to retire, after
making small fortune. Her success
sor declares that the pigeon cure is
considered sovereign remedy for in
nuenza, since the appearance of which
she has been unable to meet the de-
mand that has arisen for birds. They
arc also used, it seems, in cases of ty-
phoid fever. but in this instance two
pigeons are necessary, and they are
applied to the feet OF the patiemt.-

Puerto Rican Coffee.

Some time ago o. F. Cook was sent
out by the Department of Agriculture
to investigate the plant and crop con-
ditions of the island of Porto Rico. He
says the islands can produce half the
coffee consumed in the United States
The greatest amount was raised in
1895, and was valued at $10,O00,00O at
that time. The quality is good, but
the favor is unlike that of the product
OF Brazil. where most of our coffee
comes from. In fact much Of the coffee
sold in this country as Mocha or Java
really comes from Porto Rico through
Europe. Before the Spanish war large
amounts were shipped to Barcelona
and Cadiz, and found their way into
France and Italy as we'll as Spain.
American officers of the island have
come to prefer the native to the Bra
lillian product. The great obstacle OF
its development is the ignorance OF the
natives, who take practically no care
OF the plants, but let them grow al
most wild in the midst of many other
kinds of vegetation. With intelligent
treatment Porto Rico could produce
three times as much coffee as now.
The chief difficulty with its introduc-
tlon here will lie in the fact that the
great coffee dealers have their grades
and prices carefully arranged, and as
these might be seriously affected by
the Porto Rican product, they will
keep it out as long as they can.

men with a chemical engine had to
squirt a stream upon them. The
chemicals in this stream cent every

coating, which is fireproof, and by the
time the blaze was extinguished the
Jwo sound sleepers resembled statutes
Of oxidized silver. They were finally
aroused and saved from an awful fate,

with a lighted pipe in his mouth and
this fired the bedding.

The Indiana Popuiists have held n
convention and nominated a state
ticket. The platform adopted has to
do largely with national affairs. and it
appears from that utterance that they
favor the government control of ev-

the peopel direct. A state ticket was
named but not a word about state af-
fairs. The government of Indiana be-

board the steamer Sue Skinner, says.
"The watchman went UP in San Diego
ami asked for some red and green oil
to put in the signals, but could not
find any. But l don't suppose the in

without signals, for one of our deck

carriage is under complete control.
The carriage is steered by this steel
bar in front of the seat. Try it. See
how lightly it moves to the right or

on the bar guides the carriage, and,
should you wish, 1t can turn round

1t sters quicker and better than a boat,
much more surely and evenly than any

stopping. At ten miles an hour, it
will travel ten hours, or one hundred
miles. Then, to return or go on, we
have only to stop at a grocery store
and buy few quarts of gasoline load
UP the reservoir, and travel on for
another hundred miles at the same
rate OF speed as before.
We ride on, up hill and down. over
pavement, asphalt, macadamized road
or plain country road, now fast, now

sary, stopping quickly-in fact, far
more quickly than horse can stip

pleasure of the ride, because we could
not be so cruel as to make him suffer

that, for the rwhirring motor that is
making us fly along the road will nev-

horse to take a ride of twenty-five
miles, We should be obliged to give
him supper, let him rest all night, and

fore he could carry us another twenty
ave miles. The carriage might run all
day and all night and all the next day,
and several days and nights, with only
stops of few moments each to get
fresh fuel for the motor. We should
be tired out long before the machine.
