The rates OF compensation are explained
in detail. One and one-half cents per gross
ton per hundred miles sailed is to be paid
all vessels, sail and steam, engaging in the
foreign trade distant more than $50 miles
from the United States. for the first and
the last 500 miles sailed; l cent per gross
ton per hundred miles sailed. outward and
inward being paid for the remainder OF
the voyage. Much space is given to an
explanation of the actual manner in which
this compensation clause would operate
and the length Of voyages and character OF
trade are carefully considered II is made
clear that this sum barely offsets the higher
cost of constructing American vessels and
the higher cost of their operation The
elements on which this difference as TO cost
of construction are based are insurance
depreciation, and interest on money bor-
rowed with which TO build the vessel.
The difference in the cost of building
vessels is explained In detail, as are the
rates of wages paid on American, as com
pared with British, ships

MORE SAFES BLOWN
Post Offices at Augusta and
10 wanda Robbed.
SECURED LITTLE CASH
Thought to be Work of an
Organized Gang.

1t is evident that an organized gang OF
bank robbers are working in this sec
ton. Yesterday word was received here
that the postoftices at Towanda and
Augusta were robbed. At neither place
was any great amount Of money secured.
At Augusta the robbers secured a sack
containing about SIS in pennies and a few
stamps. At Towanda they obtained only
few loose pennies, there being prac-
ically no money in the safe. The safes
at both places were blown open with
nitro-glycerine.
This makes the fourth postofice robbery
which has taken place in this vicinity
within three days. The other two places
which were robbed were Beaumont and
Mulvane. The police are certain that
there is an organized gang at work but
are Of the opinion that the men are
green at the business. Their work is
bungling and they attempt to break into
the safes more by main strength than
by skill. They use dope" or nitro
glycerine, but use it in large quantities.
which indicates they are not accustom-
ed to handling it. It is also noted that
they are also only striking the smaller
town, where the booty to be gained can
not fail but to be small.
The police think that the men will be
apprehended although at present there is
no clue. There has been a great increase
in bank safe robberies during the past
year and very few expert men are en-
gagged in it. The majority of the safe
crackers are tramps They strike places
where old style safes are used and open
a crack with a wedge and then blow the
door off its hinges with nitro-gIycerine.

AGAINST THE ORGAN.
A Maine Parson Struggles and Comes
Out Second best.

In a Kennebec church Sunday week,
says the Lewiston Journal, a new min
ister-that is, one who was being given
a try-had about as much trouble as
usually falls to the lot of one poor
candidate. He arrived early at the
church and found that the furnace was
out of gear and that the auditorium
was densely filled with smoke. The
janitor and the gathering congregation
opened the windows and labored with
the furnace, and at last cleared the
room enough so that the minister was
dimly discernible through the blue
tear-producing haze. The services
started with a congregation whose
eyes were afiame and minister who
was beginning to get uneasy. The vol
untary was nearly over when one of
the stops failed and a shrill, high pipe
began to whistle. 1t pervaded the score
of the music and the organist couldn't
drown It out, no matter how much he
hammered the other keys. At last he
stopped. But the high whistle kept
right on. The organlst jabbed the
stop in hopeless wrath, but to no avail
The music kept pouring out despite all
he could do. The congregation wore
broad grin. The minister tried to
look as though nothing had happened
and the services went on. The next
hymn went all right-it didn't contain
the note that bothered-and the parson
and the organist breathed easier. Then
came the last hymn before the sermon,
and once more the single, piercing note
rose high above the tune the organist
was playing. The last verse was sung,
the organist paused and the congrega-
ton rustled into their seats and settled
themselves for the sermon. But the
organ kept on. The minister rose and
stepped forward to begin. But he
couldn't with that ear-piercing whistle
in the air. He looked reproachfully at
the organ, but the brazen thing only
whistled away in the same hooking
way. The audience was smiling broad
ly, and the minister could not help
but smile, too. And there they sat
cycling each other till the organ had
exhausted the supply of wind in its

An English view of what can be done
with the Pretoria Notifications Is
found in the following description OF
the liege train en- route from England.
This is the second train of its kind
sent out from England during the last
forty-six years. The last occasion was
when sixty-five heavy guns and NOR
tars were sent from Woolwich for the
siege of Sebastopol, where, with fifty
ship guns, they took part in the bonn
bardment of that city in connection
with the French siege train. The train
now on it's way out from England COM
prizes thirty howitzers, fourteen OF 8
inch caliber, eight of 5-inch and eight
of 4-inch. 1t is calculated that the In
vestment of Pretoria will require AZ
900 British troops, leaving the remain
der of the army to guard the fortifca-
lions, occupy certain strategetic points
and operate against that part OF the
Boer army not required for the defense
of Pretoria. This part of the Boer army
Is expected to fall back into the north

make their stronghold, and where they
expect to carry on the war against

ries, has discovered the real reason
why girls are so much taller at the end
or the century than they were at the
beginning and middle. The truth, we
are told, is that they eat twice as much
as their predecessors. A small appe-
tite used to be considered de rigueur;
to be hungry, per contra, was vulgar.
But the modern maiden makes no pre-
tense OF living on air, or love, or
meringues, or jelly, or whatever I'M
substantial fare it was that was sup
posed to nourish the girl of other days.
She has a good hearty appetite, and
she is at no pains to conceal it; indeed,
she rather vaunts it than otherwise. A
good dinner she thoroughly appreci-
ates, and when she can get meat she
never trifes with fripperies. There is
doubtless a great deal in this very pro-
sale explanation of an obvious fact.
But II it be true, then we must keep
our girls well in hand Increase of
appetite" the immortal maker of apt
quotations has told us, grows on that
1t feeds on" and if our maidens con-
tinue to develop good appetites, and
engender them by much outdoor ex-
ercise, the women of the future will

book, which is worth several times its
weight in gold, is Charles II. Meigs OF
81 Eastman street, who is also the
publisher of the other tiny book men
toned, the one that is the smallest in
the world This smallest book in the
world measures just three-eighths of
an inch by half an inch over all. There
are thirteen pages in it, and the work
has been done in a Cleveland printing
establishment. The type was set by
hand, and then the pages photographed
down to the limit of distinctness,
though the book can only be read with
magnifying glass. Under a strong
glass, however, the work is seen to be
distinct and perfect. 1t is printed on
genuine India paper, and this is one
of the most interesting things about
the tiny book. The Oxford Press, the
English Bible publishing concern, con-
trolls all the genuine India paper pro-
duced, and 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that enough was procured to
make even the ten copies of this tiny
book. 1t is said that the paper was
surreptitiously obtained. The title of
the book is Thus Spake the Wind"
a very old religious poem of no par
lar interest.
