Conditions were such as to weaken corn

extent that Notwithstanding the heavy
liquidation that was carried on at inter-
walls. the market retained its strength and
prices mounted steadily upward. and at
the close showed big gains over the week
before. The rains and the belief that the
backbone of the drought had been broken

bearish influences during the fore part OF
the week. but were lost sight OF later. stu

about to be a return to former conditions.

Reception to James T.. Dubois.

Mr.. James T. Dubois, consul general of
the United States at St. Gall, Switzerland,
a well known resident of Washington, re-
Gently returned to this country leave
of absence from his post and was given an
enthusiastic reception and presented with a
gold-headed cane on the occasion of his ar
rival in Hallstead, Pa, his birthplace. The
1iallstead County Herald Of May 8 contains
a full page account of the reception and of
the consul generals work abroad in the
consular service.
Mr.. Dubois scored a decided victory at
St. Gall by his successful fight against the
differentiation of laceS and embroideries
exported to the United States, and his eff
forts to secure a fair practice in this re-
Spect have effected very large annual
saving to the national revenues. Notwith-
standing the bitterness of this controversy,
letter addressed to President Mckin-
ley In September, 1900. when report was
circulated that Mr. Du Bots desired to re-
tire, by seventeen of the largest manufac-
turing and importing firms of the United
States in this line. petitioning that he might
continue to discharge his duties at st. Gall.
On Washingtons birthday, 1900, at a din
ner given in Zurich by Mr.. Dubois to a
number of diplomatic and consular officers,
the cOnSulS of the United States presented
to their host an engroSsed memorial eX-
pressive of their appreciation of his work
as consul general and his devotion to the
interests of the service.
WaShinRto nians have been interested in
Mr.. Dubois career at St. Gall because of
the fact that during his residence here he
has labored to promote the welfare of the
city, and a member of the Board of
Trade and of the board Of library trustees
has aided in the creation and development
of the public library, to which he has given
a fund for the purchase Of scientific per-

A SHOCK TO THE COMMUNITY

office laughing. throwing a joke
over his shoulder as he went. He
looked the picture of health and
strength. Ten minutes later | was
called to where he lay rigid and
silent on the sidewalk. His life had
been snuffed out like a candle. !"
That was friends testimony before
the coroner. The verdict of the
coroners jury was-"Died of heart

chronicled the sudden taking of a
well-known citizen under the familiar
head of a Shock to the Commu-

NOMOREJOINTCOMMISSION
STATE DEPARTMENT WILL DEAL
DIRECTLY WITH ENGLAND.
No Recent Correspondence Looking to
ReassemblinH of the Old
Arbiters.

1t Is said at the State Department that
there has been no correspondence what
ever of recent date with the Canadian gov
eminent looking to a reassembling of the
joint high commission. At intervals of a
few months this story has appeared, and 1t
is said that the purpose of its circulation
is to affect the political situation in Canada.
AS matter of fact. the joint commission
dissolved about two years ago with a
clearly defined line Of difference between
the two governments the most pronounced
issue flowing from the Alaskan boundary
controversy. There has been no advance
made on either side since that date that
would indicate a purpose on the part of
either side to surrender its contentious.
Meanwhile the governments of the United
States and Great Britain, realizing the dam
ger OF allowing this particular boundary
issue to remain open. in view Of the heavy
immigration of miners into that section Of
the world, quietly concluded a modus VI
vendi which is still in force and operating
to the satisfaction of both governments.
1t is expected that this arrangement, be-
ing capable of renewal from time to time,
can be continued in existence until the
acuteneSS of the issue wears Off through
the abatement Of the mining fever in that
section of the continent, when it will yield
to easy diplomatic adjustment.
1t Is stated positively that there is no
government to have further recourse to
cumbersome and refractory commissions in
dealing with this boundary question, and
the same statement applies to other i'm
portant questions that were submitted to
the original high joint commission.
Hereafter the State Department will deal
directly with the British government In
treating these questions and although 1t
Is expected that Canada will have voice
in the disposition, still she must make her
self heard through the British foreign
office and not through special commission
erS.
Recent advices from London have refer
red to a visit from Mr. Bond. the premier
of Newfoundland, to that capital and there
have been reports that he is trying to lay
the foundation for special agreement be-
tween the United States and Newfound
land. including a reciprocity arrangement.
Being in London, 1t is possible that Mr..
Bond will meet Mr.. Choate. our ambassador,
and there may be some discussion of this
question, but To the resumption of ne
gotiations through commission for the adj
justment of the Canadian questions. the
State Department officials say that nothing
whatever has been done or will be done.

DETAILED AS DOORMAN.
First Precinct Cells VIII He Inspected
Every Fifteen Minutes.

Policeman P. H. Mcnamara has been de-
tailed at the first precinct to act in the
capacity of doorman. He will be on duty
from o'clock pm. until o'clock in the
morning. Under the order issued by Major
Sylvester making the detail the officer will
be required to inspect the cells at least
once IN every fifteen minutes, and to give
closer inspection when an emergency
arises. This move on the part of Major
Sylvester is an experiment, which, if sue
cessful will be put in operation at each
station.
With such an officer in charge of the cell
rooms prisoners will have but little oppor-
tunity to do violence to themselves. and
there will he no reason for complaints on
part of prisoners that they are unable to
get water and other attentions to which
they are entitled.

HEARTS BREAK DOWN.

HEARTS BREAK DOWN.
A man who has a valuable engine
gives it good track to run on, tests
its capacity and keeps well inside it,
keeps it always properly fabricated
and does all that is possible to get
the best results with least friction.
Suppose the man ran his engine
careless. OF the water in the boiler Or
the fuel under the engine and regard
less of the steam guage. Suppose he
crowded the engine up grade, and
coupled an extra car or two to the
train he was pulling, regardless OF
the fact that he was putting every
ounce of strain on the engine it could
bear. What would you expect? A
break down. Engine failure.
Heart failure comes that way. The
heart is little larger than a man fist
and is the most wonderful as it is the
most delicateof organs. In eachtwen-
ty-four hours the dual heart moves
approximately SIX tons of blood.
which is equivalent to about two
barrels of blood every hour. and this
without rest or pause from the first
breath of infancy to the last sigh OF
old age. What can YOU expect when
a man eats regardless of the nutri-
ton which feeds the heart as we'll as
every other organ of the body ?
What can You expect when he
crowds this delicate engine to the
uttermost, but what happens
break down, heart failure And the
tragedy OF heart failure will continue
to be repeated until men are warned
of the peril OF overwork and made
quate nutrition.

are growing too common, and the
means OF establishing healthy heart
action. at the same time increasing
the entire physical capacity, should
be interesting to every one.
