cloud lying due west OF this point. and

tant. a dense black column was
formed, which appeared to fall by n
sinuous course into the sea. At this
distance the surface of the sea-where
the waterspout touched its surface
was at once surrounded by a smoke
like obsCurity. Hundreds of tons OF
water must have dropped heavily into
the sea. The black line of rommuni-

fell precipitately at first. then for
some distance appeared to encounter
n fresh current Of air and was borne
along laterally, after which II dropped
into the sea, The phenomenon contin-

CHATTEL SLAVERY.

There is a popular impression that
cially in British doniinions, is a thing
Of the past But it is estimated that
there are fifty million slaves in Africa.
and the islands of Zanzibar and Penn
ba, governed by Great Britain, 100000
are held in bondage. The horrors of
the slave trade are so great that for
each slave who reaches the coast eight
or nine die on the way, so that the
supply of 1000 slaves struggled into
Zanzibar represents the numbering of
about 10000 annually. In Zanzibar
nearly all the hard work Is performed
by slaves, and it is common sight to
see women chained together in gangs
of seven, working under the supervi-
sion of policeman armed with lash.
But the most fiendish treatment of
slaves is that accorded by the Germans
in the Cammeroon to the unfortunate
natives. The details are almost too
horrible to be believed, but have been
sworn to by Germans, officers and
civilians. But the home government
has done nothing to suppress the vii
lany These facts are respectfully re-
ferred to those who believe that all
goodness in the world is contained in
the Anglo-Saxon race, and that all the
cruelty and badness is among the

Success tells about an energetic a.
year-old boy named Thomas Mlntzer,
of Conshohocken, Pa, who has learned
how to make money i'll an unusual w.Y.
About four months ago Tommy called
on the employees of the different mills
about town, offering to carry their
meals for Is cents a week. AS many of
the mills are running night and day,
his offer included suppers as we'll as
dinners. The boys offer was promptly
accepted. AS first he employed toy
express wagon drawn by goat. Aftsr-
ward he got large push cart, which
he fitted up with shelves. Then he had
to hire a horse and wagon, his custom
ers numbering 1870. Tommy starts out
with the dinners of those who are
farthest away at II a. m. He makes
second delivery at 11:45, and third
at 1906. His weekly collections aver
age $3.50, and as he pays $3.50 for the
use of the horse and wagon, this leaves
SIS clear, which is more than some of
the mill hands earn.

IMPERIALISM is SUPREME.

1.-TWO years ago last month | said
in my place in the senate that there
would not be any imperialism in the
Philippines. But since then | have
seen in those islands an imperial gov
eminent that has no equal on earth,
no counterpart anywhere under heaven
an imperial government with five
men, strangers to the language of the
country, strangers to the country it.
self, unacquainted with the interests of
its people, sitting and administering
government, taking the money of the
people and appropriating it without
their consent, ignoring the people en-
tirely. The car of Russia is an abso-
lutte ruler. He has a council of sixty
men. who sit with him and consider
public affairs. But these sixty men are
Russians. They are the people of the
country. They have their sympathies
and their ambitions for Russia. But
the men now sitting and swaying
thinSs in the Philippine islands are
strangers to that land. Under mill
tary law they have right there I'M
doubtedly, but under Gods law they
have no place or right there at all.
So / take back what | said here two
years ago. Imperialism has come.
has come in its worst form.
