Ia spfte or British rule, India is vir. ually a soapless country. Throughout the villages of Hindustan soap is, in deed. regarded as a natural curiosity. md is rarely, If ever, kept in stock by tie native shopkeeper. In the towns It is now sold to a certain extent, but how small this is may be gathered from the fact that the yearly eonsump- ton of soap in India is about 100000 hundred weight; that is to say, every 2,500 persons use on an average only 112 pounds of soap among them; or. in other words, considerably less than an ounce is the average consumption ct a person.

ROCKEFELLER'S STAND.
VIII Carry no Ore for Less than S1.25
TOn-vessel Owners Pleased.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 29.-The
remarkable fight OF the Bessemer
Steamship Company, better known as
the Rockefeller fleet, against the big
iron and steel manufacturing concerns
of the country to maintain ore carry
ing rates on the great lakes, has result
ed in the putting out of commission
forty-five large steamships.
1t is evident that the lake freight
situation would be badly demoralized
at this time were it not for the bold
stand taken by Rockefeller. His rep
resentatives have issued an ultimatum
to the effect that the Bessemer vessels
VIII carry no ore down the lakes at less
than $1.25 per ton. The rate offered by
the big iron and steel manufacturing
concerns is 81 per ton.
So pleased are the vessel owners gem
orally with the stand taken by Mr..
Rockefener that a movement has been
inaugurated to elect him president of
the Lake Carriers Association next
year.

Thomas G. Miller, of this place, both
of whom are candidates for the office
of State Superintendent. Trotter, it is
alleged, is using his position as head
CT the board of Normal regents in the

He has failed to call a meeting of
the board to elect teachers until after
the Republican State convention, and
in the meantime has quietly intimated
that his friends will be the ones chat
will be taken care of when the board
meets. 1t lis understood by this that
he intends to reward those who have
voted and worked for him and punish
those who fail TO come to the front
with their support.
AS a consequence he has landed
many of the teachers in the Normals
who desire to retain favor with the
present incumbent who has so much
power over their jobs On the other
hand he has made many Of the teach
ers who desire to remain independent.
very angry Prof Mlller's friends de-
nounce the action as unmanly and de-
clare that they will defeat Trotter for
the nomination on account OF the plan
he is carrying out.

the board have always been held be-
fore July fourth and that the delay
has nothing else in it but the reason
stated above. A MILLERITE.

not one in a hundred of these convicts
ever return home after serving their
terms in the penitent1ary. Having
been disgraced, they do not care to re-
turn home to be pointed out as ex-con-
victs. They usually drift about from
place to place in this State, and hav-
ing lost their self respect they do not
scruple to steal. rob- and some times
to murder. and soon they are arraigned
in our State courts and sent back to the
penitentiary as State prisoners. The
average cost of arresting, convicting
and
IncarceratinG Felon
is 800. So the filing up of our State
with felons means that we shall have
to spend a great deal more money on
our criminal courts few years hence
than we are spending now. Our GRIM
inal prosecutions now cost about $780,
600 year. If this policy of importing
convictS into the State is continued
our criminal prosecutions will, in a
few years, cost nearer 100000 than
100000. A great many more crimi-
nal judges must be elected. for under

County Neighbour.
Inspection Made.

Yesterday Deputy State Mine Inspec-
tor William Turner, from district
number five, made an investigation of
the accident at Rose & Morgan's mine
THURSDAY, which resulted in the death
of Geo. w. Williams. After a thor
ougA examination, he found that the
chain used was overloaded and not
strong enough to haul 2S cars loaded
with coal, but found everything else
in good condition. Squire Mason held
an inquest over the body and rendered
a verdict OF death caused by the break
ing of the chain, which was not strong
enough to haul % cars of coal. This
accident caused considerable damage
to the mine, knocking out a number of
timbers, which caused the top to cave
in, making a very dangerous place in
the mine at present. 1t will be safe as
soon as repaired which is being done
rs rapidly as possible. Williams, who
had charge of the hauling of the coal,
was a practical man and had full
charge Of this work. 1t was not neces-
sary TO haul so many cars at one time,
but he thought he could save time.
Prior to this he had hauled twenty-five
cars.
