TRUE COMMUNITY GREAT
NESS.

True community greatness does
not lie alone in a spirit of CON-
mercial enterprise. II is true that
municipal Improvement and public
spirit in a business sense frequent
ly stimulates greatness, but this
commendable element is more Of
ten exemplifie1 in another direc-
ton. Enterprise of communities
often leads to the erection Of fac
tories. street paving, water works
and the elaboration of local public
eonYenisnces, but true greatness is
bound irrevocably in the broad
liberal public spirit which should
characterize the acts of the indi.
vidual and in consequence the ac-
ton of the community; common
"putting the shoulder to the
wheel" AS it were, in all matters
affecting public welfare, and the
sinking Of personal ends that the

atty of thought and action toward
every interest, for no single inter-

she is clever enough to see that
her gifts are not the result of a
special dispensation of Provi-
dence, and therefore does not pose
as .divine" healer. She has
learned enough nf magnetism
and electricity to know wherein
lay her power, and she believes
that the books of science can tell
her more about it and how to de-
velop it.
After learning what she can in
Europe and visiting her ancestral
home III Spain she expects to settle
in San Francisco and let that city'S

of mining gold, that metal will be-
come so plentiful within the next
thirty years as to food the markets

FORESTRY as a profession opens
a new avenue for the young men
of the present day. Schools are
now provided to instruct students
in the things essential to the pre-
Servation of existing forests and
the planting and cultivation of new
reserves, with a view to making
the timbered lands profitable with
out destroying the forests, as has
been the wasteful custom hereto
fore. 1t is a great and interest
ing subject, and will result in great
good wherever ITS teachings are
adopted. Graduates In schools Of
forestry are said to be certain of

SANTA TERESA IN NEW YORK
She Is the Friend of the Halt
and the Manned.

nOlnenal power, is IN New York
out her way to Europe to study
magnetic and anatomical science.
While here she will straighten
on the limbs of any one who are
halt or manned, rub elasticity into
joints cramped with rheumatism,
and scatter. about any other kind
of good which can be accomplish
ed by the laying on OF handS-nll
without money and without price.
This young woman, about whom
more picturesque and rOmatic StOr-
les have been told than of any 9TH
err of the unique characters OF the
more remote Southwest, is at 10
East Twenty eighth street, with
Arizona relatives who are paying
for her trip abroad. She shows
no outward suggestion Of the SUI
pernatural favor attributed to her
by the Yaqui Indians, among
whom she lived and worked for
a time.
They, ignorant and unable to
understand simple physical laws,
thought none but goddess could
possess the crude healing powers
with which she was gifted, and
insisted on deifying her. This
was against her will, she says, and
something which she did not like.
She is quite a commOnSenSe little
person without anything unusual
in her appearance save a pair of
subtIy brilliant eyes and an olive
complexion. Magnetism, which
should explain why she can rub
away rheumatism and occasionally
restore sight, is evident in eyes
and touch.
Santa Teresa denies that she
ever instigated the Yaquls to re-
volt. A bloody uprising Of these
aborigines year ago was attribut-
ed to her. Weird stories are told
of how she, accoutered some what
like Joan of Arc, but in ruder fash
ION, led the naked warriors to the
fray and took hand in the widest
part of the carnage. Her appear
ance bellies the idea even more
than her words, and the latter are
simple and sincere.
Santa Teresa's real name is Te-
reSa Urea. .Santa-Saint-Is the
Yaqai appreciation for her. She
is the daughter of wealthy Next
can of pure Castilisn descent, who
lives in the State of Sonora.
Though he was wealthy he is I'M
lettered and content that his fam
lily should grow up so. Tesesa had
no idea of reading or writing dn-
til she was 20 years old, or eight
years ago. She had never seen
blank sheet of paper or book.
Her first writing lesson was in the
sand of river bank and her fing-
er was the pencil. Even now she
has never been to school, but since
coming to the States after the va.
qui revolt she has studied with
relatives enough to have learned
TO read in Spanish.
Santa Teresa feels she has un-
usual powers and mission.
There is no doubling that. But

A LITTLE LABOR WAR.
A Mob Drives Italian LabOrers from
N Town in Kansas.

Kansas City, No., May 10.-Jerome
Fedeli, Italian consul in Kansas City,
is quoted as saying that a labor
trouble in lola, Kan, that resulted
Wednesday night in several Italians
being driven from the town by Amer
lean workmen, will be investigated
Immediately. Eleven of the Italians
have reached here" said Consul Fe-
deli. 1.-Two or three of these were
injured and at least one was carried
from the train in a blanket" a spe-
cial from lola says the leaders of the
mob have been arrested and held un-
der bond.
lola, Kan, May 10.-The trouble be-
tween workmen and the Italians sent
here from Kansas City to work in
the cement plant seems to be about
over, the Italians having left here and
the leaders of the mob arrested.
Sheriff Hobart appeared at the depot
about two hours before train
time yesterday and served warrants
on two of the leaders of the crowd
and ordered the rest, mostly boys and
young men, to return home or be ar
rested. The crowd dispersed with
out making trouble. The cement
company, finding that the Italians
were afraid TO return to work, pur-
chased tickets for them and they
went back to Kansas City on the first
passenger train.
Topeka, May 1O.-Gov. Stanley will
take no action in the lola affair uGtil
the sheriff of Allen county shall call
on him for help. MY only duty"
he said, lis to send the militia when
| am requested to do so by the local
officer. That has not been done and
| presume that the sheriff feels able
to handle the matter with the force
at his immediate command"

is SETTLED AT LAST.
The Government May Now Use the
Nickel Process for Hardening ArmOr


Washington, May 9.-The govern
ment has compromised the issue over
the use of the nickel process for
hardening armor plate for warships
in such a way that in the future this
process may be used by the govern
ment itself if it should undertake the
manufacture of its own armor, or by
any private concern furnishing armor
for American ships Claims have
been pending for years, and in set
Ting them the government not only
closed up past issues, but insisted on
clearing the way of possible compli-
cations in the future.
The claimants sought to limit the
adjustment to the armor furnished
by the two concerns heretofore fur
nishing to the government. Foresee-
ing, however, that the government it
self might wish to make armor at
some time, or that competition
might extend to other large con-
Germs. Secretary Long insisted that
the release be broad enough to cover
armor making by the United States,
or by any concern working for the
government. These points finally
were conceded. The compromise fig
ure paid by the government was be-
tween 100000 and 100000.

been received at the II to - factories
of the National Starch Co., including
the factory in this city, to get them

manager, says that he understands
that the glucose manufacturers will
also close their plants. No date g
set for the shutdown, but it is be-
leved that it will occur about June /.
The time that the shut down is to
last will depend, it is said, on the
future condition of the corn market

from the offices of the National
Starch Manufacturing Co. in this city
yesterday to the Glen Cove
Starch Manufacturing Co. that the
company will soon close its factory

Augusta, Ga, May "a fire which
at one time threatened to be a great
disaster, broke out in the Union Com

200 bales of cotton. from here
the fire was blown to Whitney &
Co.'S warehouse. In the Whitney
warehouse there were $500 bales
stored and soon the whole was a
roaring mass of flames. The walls

cations in behalf of John A. Kuyken-
dali, as administrator of the estate

makes demands upon the United
States for payment to him of sums

were constructed, | have to state
that, if Mr.. Durltee was at any time
owner of any of the bonds referred
to, record thereof would not be found
in the treasury department, but with
the records of the railroad companies
or elsewhere, as the United States has
had no control of or interest in the
first mortgage bonds of the roads.
''And | have further to state that
no moneys or bonds of any descrip-
ton have ever been deposited with or
held in trust by the treasury of the
United States for any person repre-
senting Mr.. Durkee or his heirs, nor
is there any legal or equitable basis
for the so-called Durkee claim upon

missed.
