Leslie's Weekly.
Few persons know that the largest ho-
tel In the United States, and perhaps the
finest, is in New York city, and that 1t
was built especially for the poor. 1t -is
known as the Mills Hotel No. l, Is on
Bleecker street, In the busiest part Of
the city, and was erected by D. o. Mills,
who made a fortune In San Francisco,
but who, for many years., has resided
in New York city, where he has be-
come one of it's most noted and success
full financiers. His hotel is a palatial
structure, costing over $1,000,0 900. Yet
lodgings are 20 cents a night, each oc-
cupant having room to himself ard an
excellent dinner Of several courses is
served regularly for 15 cents, Over
2,200 men are accommodated at one
/ time. and 1t Is not surprising that this
philanthropic enterprise earns about
! three and half per cent on the money
| invested In 1t.
| Twenty cents each per night Is the
charge for all the rooms except about
seventy. for each of which the nightly
rate Is 30 cents. The 20-cent rooms are
small, it is true, being but about five
feet wide. The size Is ample, because

vided in other parts OF the building. On

Each room has chair and a small
closet. The bedstead Is iron, and it is
provided with hair mattress. hair and
feather pillows, and clean sheets, blan-
kets and spread or covering. The 30

What are the proofs of stability? At
home, and everywhere throughout the
world, the dollar of the United States
is The recognized equivalent of 100
cents in gold. Before this measure of
value can be changed the assailants of u
currency measured in gold must gain
control of both houses of congress,
and the chance that they can ever do
it, in the face of past tests of public
opinion Oh the subject, is so faint that
it need not be taken into the-account.
On the strength of certain adherence
to the gold standard the credit of the
United States has become the best in
the world. It's two per cent. bonds

can borrow money at this rate. Then
the new financial law provides for an
important increase in perfectly secure,
gold-protected currency, according to
the wants of trade. The authority to
issue national bank notes up to the full
value of the bonds deposited opens the
door to an increase in the currency Of
$4,000, 900. Should all the two per cent.
bonds be used for national bank issues
the increase in the currency could be
$3.50 100000
In villages or rural neighborhoods
national banks may be started with n

ing has been immensely broadened and
popularized without any loss of secur-

the breaking of the endless chain.

GREAT TRADE EXPANSION.
business with Transatlantic COun-
tries increases Under Pro-
tectiyc Tariff.

The remarkable growth of our eX-
ports to the orient become apparent
when the figures of the present exports
are compared with those of few years
ago. For instance, our exports to
Japan in the fiscal year 1898 were but
50, ,494 and in 1899 they were $17,-
264,6SS and seem likely to be $26,O00,OO0
in the fiscal year 1860. TO China our
exports of 1893 were $4,000, 4j7 and in
the present fiscal year il will be in
round terms ST 5 100000. To Hong Kong
our exports during the period have
doubled, being $4,216,602 in 1893 and
promise to be over $S,O00,GO0 in the
present fiscal year. To Australasia the
exports of 1898 were 1921 ,22S and
promise to be fully $24,0U0,GOO in the
present fiscal year. To Asiatic Russia
the exports of 1893 were less than $780,
900, but will reach fully $2,OOO,o0O in
the fiscal year about to end.
Even more remarkable, however, is
the growth in our exports to the Ha-
waiian and Philippine islands. To the
Hawaiian islands the exports of 1893
were $2,S27, 663, in 1899, $9,305.4 70, and
in the fiscal year 1900 promise to be
fully $12,OV0,O0O; while our exports to
the Philippines, which in 1893 were
but $154,37s, will in the present year
exceed S2,O0O,000. Considering our ex-
ports to Asia and Oceania combined
the total for the fiscal year 1893 is $27,-
1881; for 1899. $7s,235, JIG, and for
the fiscal year about to end will ex-
coed 500, 100000. The. remarkable de-
velopment of this branch of our for
eign trade in the last two years, under
n protective tariff is very gratifying.

COACHMEN'S BADGES.
IinmunIties Secured by Them to
Drivers for Foreign OmciaIs
Mt Washington.

The decision of our state depart
ment to supply the coachmen connect
ed with the various embassies and le-
is connected with the principle known
in the law of nations MS diplomatic
immunitics." A foreign minister,
with his family and his suite, pos
sesses many immunities and privileges
not possessed by the ordinary citizens
of the country to which he is sent.
He cannot be arrested for criminal
offense, or sued for debt; he pays
no duty on the household goods which
he brings with him; and he cannot be
compelled to testify in court, although
sometimes, in the interest of justice,
foreign ministers have waived that
privilege, says Youths Companion.
1t has often happened in Washing
| ton that coachmen attached to the
foreign embassies and legations have
| halfunwittingly violated some police
regulation of the city, such as that
requiring them to drive on the right
hand side of the street. or to carry
suitable lights after dark. When the
| Washington policeman made an ar
rest, diplomatic immunity" would be
appealed to- and the offender in con-
sequence would be allowed to go in
peace.
| Such occurrences have so stimulated
the initiative faculty of other coach
men that they have been known,
when apprehendcd for violating some
petty regulation, TO claim that they
were "immuncs," too. The badges
have been adopted to prevent the pos
sibiIity Of this deception.
A celebrated case of diplomatic i'm
munity occurred in Washington in
1856. The Dutch minister, il seems.
was an essential witness in case of
murder; he refused to go into court,
although he was willing TO make
deposition on oath. AS this would
have been unavailing, his offer,
after some international correspond
cnce, was declined. At the trial of
Guiteau, on the other hand, the Vene-
zuelan minister willingly appeared in
open court and gave his testimony.
As rule, diplomatic immunities do
not interfere much with the course
OF justice, or greatly affect municipal
regulations. Every self-respecting for
cign minister realizes that he is
guest Of the nation, and that he
should reciprocate for the special
privileges he receives by deporting
himself as such. In case he wholly
fails to do this, the United States gov
eminent may ask for his recall.

ENDORSED BY wORKINGMEN.
Wage-Earners Are I'm Favor of Prcsi-
dent Mckinley for a Sec
Ond Term.

William McKinley's candidacy for a
second term as president of the United
States has been formally Endorsed by
the Workingmen's Protective league,
the influential organization of Ken
sington mill workers, in Pennsylvania,
which claims the honor of being the
first organization in this city to indorse'
McKinley's candidacy four years ago.
Representative workmen of all the
varied industries of Kensington make
up the membership of the league. 1t
includes many weavers in the textile
mills and is in every sense working
mans organization. During the last
presidential campaign its members did
yeoman work for the republican ticket,
and when protection was the principal
issue.
The motion to indorse McKinley's
candidacy was carried by n rising vote
and it included the decision to use all
possible means to achieve his nominal
ton and election.
According TO the notices sent out
for the meeting. there was to be dis
cussion OF the subject: "Should the
Working Masses Support Mckinley for
n Second Term?"
No one spoke OH the negative side
of the question. In fact, the affirmative
sentiment was unanimous. Ephraim
Rigg, president of the Germantown
Protective Tariff league, declared that
the influence OF the Kensington or
ganization was the means of overthrow

sunshine and Influenza.

In view Of the known bactericidal in
fluence of sunlight II would not be sur
prising. says the Philadelphia Medical
Journal, to learn that an inverse rela-
ton exists between the amount OF sun
shine and the prevalence of infectious
diseases, providing, however, the tenn
perature is not excessive. Some obser-
vations recorded by Ruheman appear
to indicate that influenza is more prev
alent when the amount of sunshine Is
less, and il Is not impossible that SIM
liar rule would be found to apply to
other infectious diseases also. In the
eight years from 1883 to 1900 the num-
Der OF hours of sunshine during the
month of January. when influenza was
exceedingly prevalent was between
o.s in 1900, and 62.3 in 1so0-the mean
being 1914. a similar state of affairs
was observed in Magdeburg, where
from 1889 to 1900 the number of hours
OF sunshine varied during the same
month between 10 in 1900 and 1913 in
1888. Similar figures were obtained In
observations made in other cities Of
Germany.

Cows on the American farm

Cows on the American farm were
worth only from SPLIT to s23.16 each
under the democratic administration
Of President Cleveland. Less milk was
bought when our factories were closed.
But busy factories mean money to
spend and more milk for the family;

tariff, which gives the home market to
the home worker. A difference of $40
