THE total number of sailors in the
merchant marine of the world is g.
100000. In the United States there
are So seafaring men to each 100000
Of population, and their number will
not increase as long as the maritime
laws of the country are made by capi-
talists for capitalists. Nowadays, says
the Coast Seansen's Journal, American
deep-water ships are manned with
buns, breakbeam artists, hobos, lunch
fiends, etc. No self.respecting sailor
will 60 in an American deep-watel

Witness, Harold Watts"

PROBABLY there is no feeling the ex-
preston OF which gives more pain and
produces more unmixed injury than
that of contempt. As the surgeons
knife wounds but to heal, so serious
displeasure or sharp criticism may
often give pain that results in a more
healthful moral or mental condition.
But contempt has no such good inten-
tion nor such wholesome result. Its
stings are deep and venomous, probing
down into the secret springs of life,
and poisoning not only happiness but
self-respect.

In this country 4,047 families oil
the rich own about five times as much
wealth as 6,599,796 families of the

divided up. The bulk of it is placed
in the banks to the credit of the
wealthy.

NO STRIkE SAYS CANNON.
Charges That Asitators Are Simply
Stirring Things Up.

Stirring Things Up.
Washington, April Third Vice Pres
ident and General Manager Frank S. Gan
non, of the Southern Railway, to-day de-
MED that there was any likelihood of
strike of tae telegraphers on that system,
and also that the engineers, conductors
and railway trainmen are dissatisfied.
Mr.. Cannon ascribed the agitation to Of
ficers Of the Order of the Railway Tele-
sraphers whose headquarters are in Hi
nois.
These men," said Mr.. Cannon, "have
been steadily at work trying 20 create
dissatisfaction for five years, resorting to
misrepresentation and every means that
seem TO suggest themselves, whether fair
or unfair, to stir up strife
Mr. Cannon said that delegations of
conductors and engineers met the Off
Gals OF the Southern in this city last
January and reached a decision that was
mutually satisfactory He said the
newspaper reports published some months
ago that the employees of his system wer0
dissatisfied were instigated by the organ
izers, who seem to think they might DO
able to force an issue.
Mr.. Cannon further stated that he met
President Powell of the Railway Teleg-
raphers last February and had a clear
and distinct understanding with him.
There are no strained relations any
where in our service" said MIR. Cannon
in conclusion. Our men realize that we
are doing and always have done every
thing we could for their interests We
meet our men whenever it is necessary
and always reach a mutually satisfactory
understanding. OF course, che object of
the disconnected ones in this case is to
make a lot of noise ana create some opin-
ion that may be favorable to them"

YELLOW PINE GROWS SCARCE.
Georgia Saw Mill Men VIII Reduce
the Timber Output.


Triton. Ga, April THE regular month
ly meeting of the Georgia Saw Mill Asso-
citation, composed of leading yellow pine
manufacturers of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina. met at Hotel Sadie, Triton,
yesterday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, Pres
ident H. II. Tiff presiding. This asso-
citation now embraces about $50 members,
representing nearly twice as many mills
in the three states, but principally in
Georgia. A good attendance was present
at this meeting.
Several matters of minor importance
were discussed, and some slight changes
made in price lists.
One action of great Importance was the
decision, by practically unanimous vote,
that on and after May 10, all mills be-
longing to the members of the associa-
ton would be run on two-thirds time. This
will affect thousands of operatives, and
decrease the output of yellow pine in this
state nearly one-third. 1t is understood
that the limited supply of yellow pine tim
Der in sight is largely the cause of this
action, as the association doubtless thinks
prices should rule higher in view of the
small supply.
1t is by no means secret that many of
the larger mills only have enough timber
IN sight to last three or four years. while
even the most fortunate only report sufi-
Client in sight to run seven and eight years.
The yellow pine in Georgia is doomed,
and it is a matter of deep regret that so
much of it should have been cut during
the period of financial depression at prices
that did not pay the cost of manufacture

Jesuits for their work among the Indians.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. vest

Immediately opposite the desk.
The last man hardly had been seated
when two others entered and took ia
bic opposite to the cashier and in front of
the man who had preceded them. All of
the men not only were we'll dressed but
also had a brave showing of diamonds
ana jewelry. The men ordered breakfast,
the most elaborate on the menu, paying
no attention to the many bankers and
brokers who had gathered there from the
fashionable section nearby for their morn
ing meal.
The man who sat opposite the cashier
, and back of his two confederates finished
his breakfast first. He called a waiter to
his table and gave him hundred dollar
bill in payment for a check. The waiter
looked at the bill and then walked slowly
to the cashiers desk, but before he reach
ed 1t the man got up from the able, said
he was in hurry, and would give the
bill to the cashier himself He gave the
waiter % cents as a tip. then went to the
cashiers desk and presented the 500 bill
While the cashier was looking at the
bill the man said he intended to give a
dinner to some of his friends; he had
heard there was a private banquet room
in the place and wanted to make inqui-
ries as to music the menu, flowers, etc.
The cashier took the bill and answered
the questions of the stranger as he looked
into the cash drawer. Finding there was
not enough change, the cashier excused
himself to the stranger, saying he would
talk about the banquet when he had made
the change.
The stranger kept up a running fire of
questions while the cashier opened the
big safe and went into small drawer in
which the receipts of four days were kept.
He placed in ii the 500 bill and took out
the change then closed the drawer hut
aid not lock the safe. He went to the
desk and while giving the man his change
kept answering questions as to the pro-
posed dinner.
While this was going on one Of the two
men who sat behind the cashier got up

sent back for a new order. This second
man managed to get past the cashier I'M
