British influence has extended north

that the kingdom and it's colonies now

the absence of snoWbanks in the season

the moon the other night, and the
weather man predicts rain on the coast.
So we may have snow, and if we don't

Rapidly RECoYERING.

Galveston, Texas, is a place which
has much to hope for from the new year
and the new century. It's people are ac-
lively al work repairing and rebuilding,
| and they have already made much prog
ress toward obliterating the physical
evidences of the great disaster Ac-
cording to the Galveston News, careful
| investigation makes the property loss
81, 05S275. This includes the loss Of
SO, 1856, 500 sustained by the United States
government. The number of residences
entirely destroyed Is placed at Abb, val
ued at $6,196, 900. Damages to residences
and contents partially destroyed are
placed at s2,250,OOO Loss to merchan-
disc and stock was 1881, $50. The
amount expended in building since the
storm is placed at $2,25S,600. OF this
sum 100000 was for building and re-
pairing of homes, $685. 500 for wharves
and shipping facilities, $365.O00 for rail-
roads and telegraph, and s250,000 for
mercantile buildings. In the beach dis
trict of the city, which was swept clean
by the storm, more than one thousand
homes have been built. Some Of these
are only temporary structures, but are
being turned into permanent homes as
fast as possible. The relief received by
Galveston amounts to 1854 GOO and Is
divided as follows: General fund, ST.
200, OOO clothing and food valued at
100000; raised for orphans 5000; for
public schools, $4,000.
In spite of the damage to business by
the storm the bank clearings in Calves
ton for 1900 were $323, $685. 800. For 1899
they were 33S,S0610O. The total ex-
ports of cotton for 1900 were 1856, 202 |
bales, valued at s73,3333 1854; for 1899, H.
52S, 1872 bales, valued at So, 1855, 1871. 1t is
evident that Galveston has the real |
United States spirit, and that she will |
come out of her great trouble stronger |
than ever.

| THE DEATH or PHILIP ID. ARMOUR
Philip d. Armour, who has been one
OF the rich and enterprising men of this
country, is dead. The news of his
| death will not cause such a stir as it
| would have done few years ago, when
MIR. Armour was at the height of his
activity, and when there were not so
many very rich and enterprising men
as there are now. He has been trying
to recover his health for the last two
years, but he has failed, and has at
last been obliged to leave his vast pos
sessions and his vast business. The
death of rich men is especially i'm
pressiye in that it calls attention
sharply to the fact that though they
may be able to conquer the earth they
cannot conquer death. One by one they
must drop off their thrones into the
waiting grave.
''The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
Inere is no armOr against tate,
Death lays his Icy hand on kings.
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust, be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade"
Yet how we do toll and squirm and
scheme to be rich and great espe-
cially to be rich. When the New York
Stock Exchange opens to-day the fact
that one of the very rich men of the
country has had to relax his grip wont
moderate the greed of those who
are not yet rich enough and dead
enough. 1t may even be pointed out
that he who now lies dead once said
that the man who bought st. Paul en-
tered into partnership with the AL
mighty, and this recollection may be
used to give new flip to the trading
in that soaring stock. Lord, what is
man, that thou art mindful of him?"

Henry B. Miller. consul at Chunkking.
China, calls attention in recent report
to the demand for good butter in Japan,
the Philippines and along the entire
coast Of China. With this growing
market, more convenient to our Pacific
coast than to any other butter produce
ing country, with the many lines of
steamers coming here from the coast,
It seems matter Of Importance to our
Western States to secure this trade, he
says.
