One of the conspicuous results o
chCnpcncd transportation and the fo
cility with which the products o
field, forest, mine, and factory cnn bl
transferred TO the consumer has beer
the rapid increase in population o
all our great cities, In 1890 over A
per cent Of the population Of New
York state (nearly six millions) wat
concentrated iu four cities, while i
is estimated that the greater city o
New York contains at present no
less and probably more than so pei
cent Of the states population. Nol
is this tendency characteristic only o
American cities, though the genera
impression seems to be that II Il
more conspicuous with us. In fact
many European cities (notably thos,
ST Germany have oustripped ours II
growth. In 1870, Berlin had abou
100000 less people than New York
In 1890 II had over $4,000 more, II
1878 Hamburg exceeded Boston II
population by but G,000, while in lS0
the German city was mare than l2l,
900 ahead.
Meanwhile the rural population th,
world over has increased very slowly
or has positively decreased. Th'
massing together Of large numebri
of people, without propeh regard tC
sanitary conditions, has always re
suited in great mortality, as witness
the terrible plaques which have sweep
over the old cities of Europe Nnt
the disastrous results during Tho
summer of 1898 OF concentrating
large numbers of our volunteers lin
camps not subjected to rigid sanitary
regulations.

establishment of slavery In tnc soutA.

EhtabllbhmentO OF slavery ln tIlc SOulh.
1t early became evident that slnve"y
was TO be Of no permanent rcono..ac
advantage TO any part of the colonies
within the glacial district, say from
New Jersey northward. In thut por-
ton Of the costU belt the state of
the surface and the character OF the
crops alike tended TO make the own.
ership Of slaves Improbable. The
farms were necessarily small They
became in natural way establish
ments worked by the head of the
house, with the help of his children.
Such other help as was needed was,
in the course of two generations,
rendily had from hired'white men and
women. 1t was otherwise in the TO"
bacco-planting region to the soo n
ward. The cultivation Of that plant,
to meet the extraordinary demands
that Europe made for it, gave slavery
its chance to become established in
this country. But for that industry
the institution would most likely have
taken but slight root, and the terri
tory ns far south as North Carolina
would have been in social order not
very different from Pennsylvania,
New York and the New England
settlements. But, owing to some PEE
culiar, as yet unrecognized, adjust
ments of climate and soil. tobacco for
pipes has quality when grown in
the Virginia district such ms it has
nowhere else in the world, and the
world turned to smoking II with
disregard for expense that made each
laborer in the field worth some hun
dred dollars year.

SWEPT AWAY BY FLOOD.
Five Persons Are known to Have
Perished in Rising of a River
I'm Idaho.

Tacoma, WASH, Jan. 15.-A down.
Pour of rain for three days, together
with prevailing chinook rain, is
melting the snow and has suddenly
flooded several western Washington
valleys and a great portion of Latah
county, Idaho. Hundreds of farms in
Puyallup, Stuck and White river val
leys are under water and the noun
tain streams are. raging torrents. The
streets of Kent, lying on the banks of
the White river, are flooded. A special
from Kendrick, Idaho, states that
three children of Charles Hamblin and
two Cinnamon are reported to have
been drowned there. A Northern Pa
cific freight train was caught by the
rushing waters in the canyon below
Moscow and Kendrck and swept into
the raging torrent. The train crew
escaped. A passenger train is report
ed caught between the floods below
kendrick. Kendrick, a town of about
600 people, situated on the fiat where
the Potlatch and Bear creek converge
in narrow canyon, suffered the
greatest. With rush the waters en-
quilted the town and 80 frame business
houses and a number of dwellings
were soon floating down the Potlatch
river. So rapid was the rise of waters
that many people were caught in the
flood and rescued with difficulty.
Communication with the flooded dis
trict by wire or rail has been COM
pletely cut off and details as to loss
OF life are understandable.

FRAUD IS CHARGED.
Arrest of John w. Baker, Com m Is - on
Broker, of st. Louis, Shows Opera
tiOns of Over 100000.

st. Louis, Jan. 15.-The arrest of
John W. Baker, head of the firm of
John w. Baker & Co., commission bro
kers, on the charge of using the mails
to defraud, has developed a surpris-
ing condition of affairs. From COM
plants in his possession Chief Post
Office Inspector Dice estimates that
Bakers out-of-town patrons have lost
in the aggregate over 100000. He
thinks the figure mentioned is small,
ard has decided to institute search
ing investigation to ascertain the full
extent of Bakers operations.
Baker is said to have advertised ex-
tensively, representing that his
patrons could realize two per cent.
weekly on their investments. Ac-
cording to statements made to the au-
thorities, Baker claimed to have a
system by which he was enabled to
protect his puts and calls on wheat,
corn and other grains in which bro
kers deal. Under Bakers plan it was
declared that when wheat declined
the broker was able through his sys-
tenn to make up the loss on the other
cereals. When corn declined Baker
Immediately invested in wheat, etc.
He claimed, it is said, to have his sys-
tenn carefully studied out, and there
was no possible chance for either him
self or clients losing. It is also claimed
that he was paying dividends on IN
vestments from clients out of the prin-
cipal

DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.
Adjt. Gen. Chase, of Michigan, Calls
Upon Gov. Pingree
to Act.

Lansing Mich, Jan. 1j5.--Adjt. Gen.
Chase has addressed letter to Gov.
Pingree in which, after referring to
the latter's request for his resigna-
ton for gross neglect Of duty in con-
nection with the military fraud and
to his own refusal to accede because
of his innocence of any part in that
matter, he requests that a military
court of inquiry be detailed to inves-
tigate and report upon this transact
ton so far as it reflects on him.
The demand will probably be COM
piled with by Gov. Pingree. Indeed,
it is believed that the suggestion was
first made by the governor, who does
not believe Gen. Chase had any knowl-
edge of the fraudulent transactions
through which the state was mulcted
by the military board. He was not
present at the meeting of the board
at which the supplies were ordered
sold and was not held accountable for
the fraud by the grand jury.

ri have just Finished" said the struggling
young author, another storage warehouse
for returned manuscripts, this being of the
same dimensions as the other, 2Ox6O and
four stories high, and, also like the other,
ireproof. 1 find it cheaper to build that
way and insure myself. 1t costs little
more, of course, to make the structure fire
proof, but the interest on this additional
cost is less than the insurance would be,
and the difference | have set aside as a
sin king fund from which to pay the taxes
and repairs.
You might infer from this that there
has been as yet no widespread general de-
mand for the productions of my pen; and,
if you should, your inference would be quite
correct; indeed, such unanimity of senti-
ment as appears seems to take the form
of rigidy observed neutrality, with the re-
suit that my second warehouse has already
begun to fill rapidly.
But l have still no fear of the outcome:
else, l should throw away these manuscripts
instead Of storing them; but as it is l think
I am simply putting down a gold mine.
Then why doesn't somebody see at least
q color in these manuscripts now? Well,
I don't know; you can't always tell about
those things, but some day the gold is dis
covered; I've built both my warehouses on
corners; so that when that discovery is
made, and the publishers swarm around the
buildings asking for manuscripts, l can de-
liver not only from doors but from windows,
too"
