The special topic of the evening was
an extempore talk by Prof. Walter NJ
Maxwell upon the labor conditions in
Queensland, Australia, as compared
with those of Hawaii, especially in the
raising of sugar cane. Prof. Maxwell
treated the subject with an ease and
perfect knowledge obtained from direct
contact with the matters spoken of. He
said in part:

From a Commercial Standpoint.

1T was suggested by Mr. Castle and
others of the Social Science Club that, as
L had been down in the Colonies a short
time ago. 1t might be of interest TO the
society II | would give an informal talk
upon conditions in Queensland, leading
paper prepared on the subject, and it
HiIl be nothing more than q talk upon
matters, of which the labor situation
there Is an important factor I tnInk we
are all aware that labor conditions .av-
eTyWhere are controlled by a general sit
uation. They grow out OF certain factors
which, in the first place, arise from the
natural laws and conditions of a coun-
try. so that the labor conditions of this
country of ours are essentially different
from those of Australia, Germany, Eng
land, France or the United States, due,
the first place, to profound differences
in the natural conditions. If we want to
lead up in practical way to the labor
conditions in a country, we must ac-
quaint ourselves with all the differences
which obtain in that country Now as
you gentlemen of the Social Science Club
are not studying the question of labor
from purely economic standpoint, we
must endeavor to approach this vital
question from the commercial standpoint.
Australia in the first place, we have
to understand, is not the same in geo.
graphical position as the Hawaiian Isl
ands We are dealing with a vast coun-
try which equals in diameter the whole
of the United States less Alaska. Queens
total OF Australia. Now Queensland
comprises 42S,000,000 acres. By way of
comparison, the Hawaiian Islands have
3,dO000 acres. So we have a very diff
ferent proposition altogether. We Will
consider the climate of Queensland and
highly salubrious climate, due in part to

Home of the Eucalyptus.

You know Australia is the home of
the Eucalyptus; there are forests com
pCSod of millions of acres of Euca-
lypti, and the general effect with that
kind of forest vegetation is admitted by
me dical men to he the best for the pop
ulation. They give off a volatile sub
stance, which extracted by druggists rs
highly valuable drug. L he effect
through the air upon man has been
wholesome and invigorating. The varia-
tions of temperature are between % de-
grces Fahrenheit and no. although in
some parts it rises as high as 120. The
rainfall varies. The relative humidity or
dampnesS of the air is 50; you see it
is very dry as compared to the atmos-
phere of Honolulu.
I'm connection with the climate We
will mention the birth rate. IL is 81 per
thousand persons, an enormously high
rate; there is a death rate of 12.1. The
death rate for the whole of Australia Is
slightly less. The lowest death rate is
in New Zealand. where it is only 9.1. This
has a significance in these natural fac
tors upon the labor question. They are
really cardinal factors.

WEEKLY TRADE REPORT.
Iron Prices Harden slowly = Corn Crop
Advices Better-A short Crop Of Cotton
Pred Ictod- Failures.


New York, Sept. 1.-Bradstreet's
says: Distributive trade, that from
jobbers particularly, increases as the
vacation season wanes. Reports from
leading western centers are more IA
vorable, and large aggregate of
business in dry goods, clothing, shoes,
hats and hardware are features noted
this week. The iron and steel trade,
too, notes a decided gain in tone and
volume Of sales, though prices, ex-
cept in a few instances, harden but
slowly.
Corn crop advices are viewed as
rather better, because of the ending
of the late dry, hot spell at the west.
Cotton crop conditions are still, how
ever, only partially defined, and lead
ing state authorities are quoted as
predicting short crop. The steadiness
Of staple prices is feature in the
present quietness of trade.
Wheat, including -four, shipments
for the week, aggregate 3,24s,313
bushels, against 1866, 1863 bushels last
week. Corn exports for the week ag-
gregate 3,717.49O bushels, against
3,493,375 bushels last week.
Failures aggregate 1865 for the week,
as against 1875 last week, 1871 in this
week year ago, l64 in 1898, 1873 in
1897 and 1s4 in 1896.

Facts
for Women

Any article, Whatever its merit
must be made known to the public BY
means Of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for :
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for . time, but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. It has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result Is that there
Is q lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
Of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 31.-0gden H.
Fethers, of GAINESVILLE, Wis, swas yes
terday elected supreme chancellor Of
the knights of Pythias. Mr.. Fethers
had previously served as supreme vice
chancellor and his promotion to be
the head of the order was in accord
ance with previous custom as regards
the highest Office in pythianism. His
opponent was the present supreme
chancellor, Thomas G. Sample, of Al
legheny City, Pa. The contest waged
in the supreme lodge was wholly on
the question of whether the unwrit-
ten law that q supreme chancellor do
not succeed himself continue to be
observed. Many of the strongest OPP
ponents of Samples reelection came
from his own state, but the opposi-
tion was not waged on personal
grounds, the growth and progress Of
the order under Mr.. Samples leader
ship being unquestioned. Seventeen
seconding speeches were made for
Fethers and the ballot resulted IS to
SO in his favor

ing speeches occupied most of very
long afternoon session The candi-
dates were Tracey II. Bangs, of Grand
