She at first accused a waitress of TAX

against the girl, and not long after
ward, on visiting at the country house
Of one of her dinner guests, she saw
one of her missing spoons in cabinet
Of souvenirs. all of which, her hostess
laughingly assured her. had been Sc
cured by the same means. She was also
told where the other three spoons had
gone. After some thought she decided
to buy four other spoons and send them
to the four kleptomaniacs, with the re
quest that the ones taken should be re-
turned on account of old family asso-
Citations. Three Of them were returned
with chilling notes; the other was not.
This seems almost too bad to be true,
but after all, it is not SO much worse
than some other things which have
been charged against certain would-be
aristocrats both here and in England
II seems To be the pride of some Of

The Cuban Converts.

Although there is to be no formal pub
Iication regarding the character or
progress Of the recent Cuban negotia-
tions. until after the commissioners
have reported TO the Constitutional
Convention at Havana. it is safe to say
they die not leave Washington without
a very well defined conviction that
Cuba has the single choice between the
Platt terms and nothing.
The members Of the commission II
appears, worked very hard 10 get the
Administration committed 10 some
definite promise regarding future com
merciaI relations, tariffs, and 50 on. In
this effort they failed completely. being
firmly told that economic matters can
not be considered in advance Of politi-
cal. and that their people must accept
the terms offered and form govern
ment satisfactory to the suzerain pow
er. after which a commission viii be
appointed To negotiate with Ike body
representing the Cuban Government for
reciprocal trade relations
As far as can be judged from re
marks made by Senors Capote, Por-
tuondo. and others Of the visiting COM
mittee. they viii advise the convention
to adopt the Piatt terms, in the belief
that they are the best Obtainable, and
that the United States means well and
VIII not use its suzerain authority to
their detriment or oppression.
II the island leaders are wise. they
viii lose no time in acting favorably
upon such a recommendation. Very
likely there viii be grumbling on the
part Of the ultra-revoluuonaTy ele-
ment especially among the negroes;
but IT is TO he hoped that the returned
commissioners VIII be able to convince
all parties and factions of the futility
Of resistance TO the American ultima
tum. Should that prove to be the case,
within the next year we may witness
the birth of new and promising
American autonomous state, under the
protection Of the Great Republic.

A TRIUMPH IN TRANSMISSION
Oakland. Cal, Using Electricity Gen
ernted 40 Miles Away.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-Electric
power generated on the Yuba River. 40
miles away, was used in the operation of
street cars in Oakland today. This is
said to be the longest transmission of
electric power in the world The power
is generated by turbine wheels.
The cable, 140 miles in length Is six
tenths Of an inch in diameter and is of
copper. with an aluminium alloy which
will prevent oxidation 1t is this cable
that is suspended across the Carquinez
Straits by span 400 feet long and 500
feet in the air
The test yesterday Is considered one of
the most successful in the history Of
electricity, a current of 20, 600 volts having
been transmitted the entire distance with
loss not exceeding 8 per cent Under
that showing experts said the voltage
could be increased until there would be
practically no loss of current.
The current used was an alternating
one transmitted through motor at the
power station, as the voltage of 1900
was greatly in excess of the power need
ed on Monday the power will be trans
mitted over the cOmpanys lines TO San
Jose, Il distance of l90 miles from the
generating plant.

The Souvenir End.

Pessimists who affect to believe that
the American people are growing year
ly more dishonest will find a proof Of
their theory in the statement Of a New
York society woman that the souvenir
fad has become so common that no.
body's silver and trinkets are safe from
depreciation. It seems almost impossi-
bIe Of belief that among wealthy and
reputable people il should be considered
amusing to carry off spoons and glass
and silver trinkets, not only from fash
ionable hotels and restaurants, but
from private houses, as mementoes of
some particularly enjoyable entertain
ment but statements Of the kind are
made in apparent good faith.
There is undoubtedly a great deal Of
this sort Of thing among college stu
dents, and restaurant keepers in college
towns resignedly expect a raid on their
portable property whenever the college
in their vicinity wins a victory in the
athletic field or has any other cause Of
jubiIation. They condone it for the
sake Of the money it brings in, for al
though a party Of students may take
possession Of a restaurant and break
up or carry off most Of the glass, plate,
and furniture, the proprietor of the
place is usually visited by some OF the
leaders Of the party next day and paid
a good round sum for the damage. In
the case of the hotel prOprietors and
dinner givers who suffer from the SOU
Ienir fad, however. there is no such
compensation. The habit Of walking off
with spoons and things seems 10 be an
outcropping of ancient predatory in
stincts OF the race, a trait in which the
savage and the representative Of mod
ern society may be akin, and one which
is not altogether absent in the young
OF the human animal at certain stages
Of development. Few boys have not, al
some time in their lives, raided some
body's orchard, and gotten twice as
much enjoyment out Of the fruit Sc
cured as they would out Of much better
apples or pears bought in the market
or eaten at the home table.
But when it comes to grown men and
women, Of an age when the wayward
impulses Of youth are supposed to have
been outgroWn. purloining soap, towels,
and spoons from hotel, or absracting
dainty bits Of silver from the table Of
an acquaintance, it somehow does not
look like the same thing. Hotelkeepers
for a time winked at this sort Of KEEP
tomania. but ii is said that they have
suffered so great a loss from It that in
most cases a clerk with a peculiar in
sensibility 10 whecdling and bluff is en-
ployed TO ask the kleptomaniacs to pay
for the things which they have taken.

not very long ago declares that at her

One feature of the mission work of the
American Missionary Association at Cape

years ago, with their propagation and

Cape Prince Of Wales. the Government
station at Eaton, and Point Barrow
Fouteen hundred and ninety-five of these

years apprenticeship at the Government

VALUABLE TURQUOISE MINES.
A New York JeweIry House Owns
One of the Richest in the World.

NEW YORK, April 28-It has been
learned that a great jewelry house in
this city has come into possession Of one
of the richest turquoise mines in the
world. The mine is in the Cerrillos Noun
tains Of New Mexico, which have long
been celebrated for their turquoises.
Turquoise is a mineral well known to
all jewelers. and to many who love
precious stones, for its beautiful, pure,
blue-green or greeu-blue color. Artists
sometimes use the term turquoise blue in
describing those wonderful effects Of color
often seen in a sunset sky, sometimes in
water notably in the Animas River of
Colorado. and many Of the deep glacial
lakes or tarns found lying like gems in
the lap of some glacial amphitheatre high
UP in the SUBMITS of our mountains, and
in the ponds lying at the base of the
geysers of the Yellowstone Park
Turquoise occurs usually in very spar
ing quantities in narrow seams in vol
canic rocks II is found in Persia; in Tur-
quoise Mountain, Arizona. and in the Ger
riIlos Mountains of New Mexico. In Per
sia the Shah is said to retain for him
self all the large and more finely tinted
specimens.
The turquoise regions in the Cerrillos
Mountains were worked by primitive
races, even il may be, before the Spanish
conquest. Indians coming from the north
into southern New Mexico and Mexico
had turquoise ornaments, some pierced in
a wonderful manner by fine holes. others
beautifully worked. The turquoise was
doubtless obtained from this locality
There is near the summit of the most
prominent hill a quarry over 100 feet wide
by 100 feet deep, with a shaft forty feet
deep at the bottom of it.
Growing in this quarry are large pinon
trees Of considerable age. There is no
record otherwise Of the date of this an
cient quarry, nor any record of the people
who excavated it. Stone axes and other
primitive implements have been found in
the district, but ii is scarcely conceivable
that so large a quarry could have been
excayated in volcanic rock with such
| primitive tools. 1t is possible that the old
! miners may have made some progress by
! heating the rock with fire and splitting #
/ by pouring water on it. The hill which
1 covers an area Of a few acres. is quarried
! and g0phered in all directions both by an
/ cient and modern hands.
This district is said 10 be the greatest
producer OF turquoise in the world, and
While the money value is doubtless large,
there is no great demonstration in mining
and marketing the stones. Only now and
then a small express, package is seen
going 10 the railway depot, that repre-
sents great wealth. A person could pass
! within q few hundred feet of the mine
and. without being told, would not sur
mise that anything Of Importance was
! being done. According to the published
| report of the Governor of New Mexico
there are some sixty or seventy tur-
! quoise claims in New Mexico and some
ten or dozen in active ana profitable
operation

VITAL STATISTICS OF FRANCE.
The birth Rate Only slightly In Ex-
cess of the Deafh Rafe


PARIS. April 2S-Although France
makes no great effort 10 collect her vital
statistics. perhaps because the figures are
not encouraging. here are some interest
Ing facts concerning her populations:
The statistics relate to towns only with
population exceeding 50.0oo. and go back
to the year iSS6. Such towns number 5S4.
having population which is Just about
One-third Of the total population OF
France. which Is 2S.Oo0o00 The statistics
for the thirteen years 1SS5-9s show a
steady diminution in the birth rate. COM
pensated for by a slightly larger diminu-
tion in the death rate
AS is well known. the distinguishing
characteristic OF the vital statistics OF
France Is the feeble excess OF the birth
rate over the death rate. Thus the birth
rate. which had been "a % per 900 in the
period 1880. fell in the period 1868 to
p 90. while the death rate in the same
period fell from "a. IS to q IS per 100.
As in other countries urbanizatiOn Of
the population is rapidly progressing
Thus. while In the decennium 1866 the
total population OF France increased
0.S9 per cent, the population OF towns
with more than 5000 inhabitants in
creased f1-52 per cent. implying a consid-
cradle decrease among other parts Of the
community. Furthermore. the increase
of population was greatest in the largest
towns, varying from I-S per cent in towns
OF from 5000 to 10000 inhabitants. up to
u or % per cent in towns Of more than
80 600 inhabitants.
Infantile mortality Is extremely high
In France In the years 1S96-9S 1t reached
the number of 24I annual deaths under
one year of age per 1000 infants. and had
been in 1SSI-90 at the still higher rate OF
81 per 1000 infants.
These figures sufficiently Indicate that
the vital statistics and public health are
both at a low ebb in France. and that
much persistent and steady work Is re-
uuired in order that that country may
overtalke its neighbors in an important
branch of civilization
