MENELEK'S FIRST SMOKE.

It's Results an Edict Against the I'm
portation of Tobacco.
1t would seem that Germany, where
one Is not even allowed to throw crumbs
on the pavement, is not the only coun-
try where 'paternaP' government is In
existence. Emperor Menelek of Abys-
sinia has great admiration for MANY
European customs-witness his going
about In motor car-but, on the other
hand, he seeks to protect his people.
He began by prohibiting spirits in his
country. and in this was successful
enough; but he has now gone another
step and entirely forbidden tobacco,
which has raised so large a clamor
as to give pause even to an absolute
ruler.
1t Is whispered that the reason for
the prohibition rises from the fact that

must be confessed. amused subjects,

Since then even the odor of the weed
recalls those moments Of terrible suf-

WAGES INCREASED.

Beginning with the month of
July, engineers on the Southern
railway system received an ad-
vance of from 5 to 10 per cent in
wages. This brings the pay up to
the figures that prevailed previous
to 1898, when a general cut of 10
per cent i'll wages of all employees
of the road was made. There are
$50 engineers who are affected by
the raise, which in the aggregate
will amount to about $4,000 per
year. The men are, of course,
highly pleased with the company's
action. The average monthly pay
roll of engineers on the system is
$12O, those on passenger trains
being rated the highest, at $3.50.
They get paid by miles travelled,
the schedule being Sc. a mile on
passenger engines, 4c. on through
freights, and 44c. on local freights.

FACTS ABOUT CHINA.

AS to size, China is much larger

times larger than Germany.
1t has 4 400 miles of coast and
millions of cities, towns and viii

that "before Israel was called out

power. From the time of Abra-
ham China has had settled form

PEKIN'S AGE.

Readers interested in the stirring
drama that is now in progress in
Pekin should remember that 600
years that has been the residential
town of the Chinese imperial
family. But its history dates
many centuries farther back.
There are traces innumerable in
the vast plains it covers, and
which surround it, that the town
of today, itself huge monument
of antiquity, rests upon the re-
mains of others which have crum-
bled bit by bit into dust.

DISTURBANCE TO TRADE.

Serious disturbance to the trade
of the entire world with China is
threatened by the present unset
tied situation, while the direct eff
feet, due to the arrangement of
ocean transportation, are likely
to be far-reaching. The general
opinion is that new business on
Chinese account in dead, and an
immense accumulation of foreign
goods at the leading ports is re-
ported. At Shanghai goods ar
irving on old orders are reported
being stored under temporary
shelter, owing to the crowded con-
dltlon of the warehouses there.
So far as this country is con-
cerned, our chief interests lie in
the trade in cotton goods, refined
petroleum and manufactured to-
bacco. Cotton cloths are our
chief items of export to China, as
about two-thirds of our total ship
ments consist of sheetings, drills,
flannels and jeans. Several New
England mills devoted to this
trade are reported to have cur
tailed their output or wholly shut
down, and southern mills are like
wise interested.

Philadelphia. Oct 26. Eugene Y.
Debs, candidate for the presidency on
the social democratic ticket. was the
principal speaker at a mass meeting
held last night in the Academy of Mu-
sic under the auspices Of the social
democrats in this city. Mr.. Debs said,
in part:
The republican party represents the
dominant capitaiistic class; the demo-
cratic party the perishing middle class,
and the social democratic party the
working class. The whole issue is one
of class. and the sooner the working
men Of the country become class con-
scious the quicker will victory be theirs.
imperialism and expansion do not
interest the workingman in any way. If
the questions were settled as the repub-
lican party would have them settled or
as the democratic party Is urging that
they be settled, the workingman's con-
sdition will still be one Of economic
