SpeakeaSisS Must Stop

Not in the Temperance Crusade but all
Laws Look Alike to him

Judge Mason's remarks in connec-
ton with the case Of the State against
; Homer Grapes upon indictments for
mlsdemeanor Wednesday morning
created quite sensation. His honor
fsaid that, while he was no special
htemperancc advocate, yet al laws look
alike 10 him and they must DC en-
forced. Mr.. Grapes had confessed TO
three indictments for selling bevcr-
ages ut What Next In FOx's speak
easy, claiming he was merely clerk
there. Judge Mason imposed fine OF
$50 In every ouc Ot the three cases
against Grapes and the costs and
ordered that the amount be forthcom-
ing or that Mr. Grapes be committed
10 Jail. The Judge intimated that II
it had been the proprietor Of the
speakeasy. the fine would have been
very heavy.
In several other similar cases at
torneys appeared for the men indicted
and entered plea OF guilty, hoping
| the usual ten dollars would be i'm
posed, but Judge Mason would not
have 1t that way. He inquired why

COUNTERFEITS.

The following simple rules, laid down
by bank note examiner, will be found of
service in the detection of counterfeits:
First.-EXamine the form and features
of all human figures. If graceful and
features distinct, examine the drapery.
Notice whether the folds lie naturally
and observe whether the fine strands of
the hair are plain and distinct
Second.-EXamine the lettering. In a
genuine bill it is absolutely perfect.
There has never been a counterfeit ptt
out but was more or less defective in the
lettering.
rd.-Counterfeiters rarely II ever
get the imprint or engraver's name cor
rect. The shading in the background Of
the vignette and over and around the let
tiers forming the name Of the bank on
good bin Is even and perfect; on a coun-
terfeit 1t Is uneven and imperfect.
Fourth.-The die work around the fig
ures of the denomination should be Of
the same character as the ornamental
work surrounding it.
Fifth.-Never take a bill deficient in
any of these points-Weekly Bouquet.

LEATHER NOVELTIES,

Rich reddish brown leather pocket
books are handsomely mounted in gold.
A new finish in fine feathers, such as
shown in cardcases and similar goods,
includes marbIeized effect In gray and
in some other cOlors.
The single pearl, diamond or turquoise
button for the flap of the finger purse
and pOcketbook continues to be a dainty
and elegant fashion which has not de-
stroyed itself by becoming too popular.
Jeweling of leather wares employs
about the same stones as heretofore, with
baroque pearls in high favor. An enam-
eled portrait medallion encircled with
pearls is one Of the rarer decorations Of a
CardcaSe.
Heavy silver embossed work, delicate
open traceries in silver or gilt, huge mon
ograms that sprawl nearly across one
side of the case or pocketbook and plain,
bright silver rims represent some of the
ornamental mOuntings of cardcases or

court has declared President Mckinley
emperor OF Puerto Rico, and according
to the press dispatches the emperor has
gladly and gratefully accepted the title
conferred upon him by the highest
judicial tribunal of the land
Those who were encouraged to be-
lleve that the constitution had caught
up with the flag were doomed to dis
appointment. Ia the Downes case, de-
cided Immediately afterward, a majority
OF the court, composed of Justices
Brown, Gray, White, Shiras and Nc
kenna, held that congress could deal
with Puerto Rico and the same logic ap-
plies to the Philippines, without regard
to the limitations of the constitution.
Chief Justice Fuller and Associate JUS
tees Harlan, Peckham and Brewer dis
sented in strong and vigorous language,
but the opinion of the majority-even a
majority OF One-stands until it is re-
versed
This is one of the most important
decisions, if not the most important,
ever rendered by the court. 1t not only
declares that congress is greater than
the constitution which created 1.-THE
creature greater than the creatOr-but
it denies the necessity for a written con-
stitutiOn."

successfully worked again at Seattle last
week by swindlers upon E NJ Breton an
old resident of Seattle, who is out 5000
advanced to a newly made acquaintance
upon a worthless check drawn upon a
local bank for $3.50. The game was
worked in the ancient and we'll worn
way. Breton was about to board the
Umatilla for San Francisco when he was
accOsted by the swindler who told him
he was also headed for California with a
large shipment of machinery. While en-
gagged in conversation his pal appeared
and claimed to be the shipping clerk
looking for $3.50 in settlement for the
freight bill. Swindler No. l Immediately
presented the $3.50 check in payment
and Swindler No. g, after examining
The check pronounced it good, but re-
fused to accept it on the grounds that
the rules OF the company forbade it..
BrotOn's acquaintance then offered him
the check as collateral security for a
loan of 5000, which he would return on
board the boat. Breton consented and
the swindler has not been seen since.

New and Terrible Explosive

New York, June 3-The Press SAYS:
Maximite, the new explosive invented by
Hudson Maxim, has been adopted by
this country after considerable testing
at Sandy Hook proving grounds. The
secret OF the explosive has been sold to
the government by the inventor, and the
explosive, it is thought, may revolution
iZe warfare. 1t is said to be more dead
ly in its character than lyddite, yet so
safely can it be handled that the danger
attaching to its use is less than that in
Cured in transportation of ordinary
black powder. The tests indicate that
the explosive will pierce a 12-inch Har-
veyised nickel steel armor plate, and
having passed through it will explode
on the other side with sufficient power to
destroy every thing with which it comes
in contact.

Trade Battle Is On the Seas.

1t requires only a superficial glance at
present industrial conditions, modern
trade movements and growth of pOpu-
lation to discern the truth of the decIara-
ton by James j. Hill that the battle
for handling the com merce of the world
is on the high seas, and that the great
commercial problem of this country is
to get hold of the commerce of the Pa
cifc ocean, says the Chicago Record.
Beyond the Pacific are the underfed,
semicivilized millions of the Orient. The
forces of western civilization are beating
against the Chinese wall Our flag is
flying from a chain of coaling stations
in the Pacific. New wants, new desires
and new necessities are to be the fruits
of this movement of western expansion
and aggression toward the Orient. Mr..
Hill believes that the first demand of
the awakened Orient will be for food and
for the simple staples of agriculture.
The millions who earn but shilling
day will not start in by buying uxuries
or manufactured goods in any great
quantities.
Who is to supply this food? Study
ing the present trend and growth of our
population, MIR. Hill believes that dur
ing the next thirty years we will grow to
10000, 900, and that the bulk of this
Increase will be in the valleys of the
Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri and in
the fertile prairies of the central west
and beyond. A hundred millions of
these will be compelled to devote their
energies to the production of the three
great staples of traffic-food, fuel and
shelter. To find a market for these
staples will be the great commercial
problem to be solved in the future.
The great traffic problem will, there
lore be to place the surplus staples of
central and western America at the door
OF the Orient, and the contest will be be-
tween the Pacific coast on the one hand
and the suez and Cape Horn on the
other. MIR. Hill believes these products
will go by the Pacific, and in this belief
nature geography ana the resist!ess
Ulde OF western expansion are behind
him.

never allowed his left hand to know
what his right hand was doing, and,
like Others, he is being rewarded for his
devotion to Hill.

The fierce sectional feeling that existed
between the veterans of the Grand Army
and all southern sympathizers ten or
fifteen years ago, has almost entirely
disappeared in the last two or three
years. This change is brought about by
the loyal support accorded the govern
ment by the entire south when foreign
enemy menaced its peace and security.
Memorial day is now made an occasion
to pay equal tribute to the blue and the
gray. The valor of the southern soldier
and the genius of many of her great
generals has never been questioned, but
the north is now enabled to see things
from the southern view point, and
to understand why the southerner was
so long bitter opponent of the polti
cal policies of the north. The one made
mistakes as we'll as the other. Accord
ing the illiterate negro equal political
rights with the whites when he was not
capable of exercising it inteligently, was
one of the grevious wrongs committed
by the north. 1t did more than any
thing else to prolong hostile feeling be-
tween the two sections, and ferment po-
litical strife. This mistake is now gener-
ally acknowledged. The veteran of the
Grand Army realizes it as well as others,
and is quick to do justice to those he
fought, when he learns that they have
been misunderstood and that after all
they are as loyal as he when testing
time comes, remarks the Lincoln County
Times.

Holxe Smiths Greatness.

man from Georgia, one of the dele
gates to the industrial convention, was
talking about Hoke Smith, says the
Philadelphia Record.
Down in our state" said the dele
gate, the name of Hoke Smith is held
in generation. Apropos of this they
tell story about a couple of Crack
ers who were sitting on fence talk
ing politics. 1t was when Hoke Smith
was serving as Secretary of the Inte-
rior in Cleveland's cabinet.
"Hoke Smiths a great man, suh,''
said one Cracker.
"Yaas, sub, he's a great man, but he
amt es great man as Grover Cleve-
land said the other.
'Yaas, sub, Hoke Smiths a greatah
man that Grover Cleveland
Wall, ah reckon he amt es great a
man es Gen'l Robot E. Lee
Yaas, sub, Hoke Smiths greatah
man than Robot E. Lee
"'Ah reckon he amt es great man
es Jeff'son Davis
Yes, sub, Hoke Smiths a greatah
man than Jeff's Davis
"A long pause followed, and each
chewed meditatively.
" 'Hoke Smith amt es great es God,
remarked the doubling Cracker.
This argument seemed a clincher,
but the other Cracker proved equal TO
it. He spat copiously and then drawled
out 'Mebbe not-mebbe not. Hoke
Smiths a young man yit.'"
