"ANY WAY to raise money" seems to
be the motto adopted in the East to
raise funds for the church. A Man.
haitian dispatch of the 10Th ult., says
that Miss Ada Lisk, one OF the young
members of the Epworth League Of
the First Methodist Church, has start
led her friends by the novel manner in
which che earned q dollar to con-
tribute to the liquidation OF a repair
debt on the church. "I was paid
fifty cents for washing papa's pet pig
she said. II took . broom and q pail
of water and soon had the pig as
clean as q whistle. The animal
seemed to enjoy the wash, and / did
not mind the experience. Then re-
ceived my other half dollar by selling
kisses At five cents apiece. This part
I did not mind either" Two other
young women earned q dollar each by
playing organs about the streets. It
may be we'll to stop such proceedings
long enough to inquire whether the
end justifies the means.

The Visit Of the Congressman.

No matter what may be the result
of our peoples hospitality and per-
suasive powers over the visiting Con-
gressmen, they cannot reproach them,
selves for having lost an opportunity
for placing our needs in proper shape
before them. The clam-bake, at But.
ler's Cove and the reception at the
hotel, were peculiarly enjoyable affairs
from the novelty OF the one, and the
spontaneity OF the spirit of welcome
as shown by the many well-planned
details OF preparation made, especially
by the ladies, for entertainment OIL
their guests.

Accompanied by Senator Foster and
Representative Cushmsn, the distin'

panied by the local reception COM
mittee, consisting of ]. OBJ. Scobey
Allen Weir and A. J. Falknor, who
met the party at Tacoma and escorted
it to this city.
The committee do not seem to be
very enthusiastically impressed with
their success. Nothing more than the
usual appropriation of $25. 900 need be
expected. The Canal project was "not
seriously considered" and the only
thing gained, if that had not alrea dy
been attained. was a months pump
ing of sand from the main channel.
One OF the committee very tersely sug.
gests for us to build mills at Buffers
Cove, where there is deep water, and
extend the logging railway tracts to
them.
Sure enough! Well said. If the
Congressmen's visit is not productive
of anything else, we can congratulate
ourselves upon having, at least, that
long-headed Suggestion.

The Celebration.

About the only thing OF interest to
report regarding the celebration
which closes to-day, is the distribution
OF prizes for various athletic contests
and awards for display OF individual tact
and taste in the professional display.
The general impression prevails that
three days celebration, like three
ringed circus or two Topsies and
double Markses in "Uncle Tom," is a
glaring mistake, and there is won
derful unanimity of opinion that re-
turn to the good old one-day festival,
with all its patriotic surroundings,
would meet with general acclaim Of
approval. The observance has 80 de-
generated of late years, that there is
scarcely a pretense OF patriotic feeling,
and the controlling motive of greed is
freely admitted. The result is, that
many of the more sedate people will
have nothing TO do with the affair
and parade is made with procession
half block in length, with not sim
gle one of the civic or military organi.
cations in line, to testify appreciation
of, if not add grandeur to, the occasion.
The first contest on the Sd was the
Safeguarding match at the park,
in which J. S. Butler and Frank Es-
terly of Deming's mill, A. l.. Whipple,
of Chase's mill and A. Mailman of
Richardson's mill, competed. Butler
won the contest, packing four bundles
in IL minutes. AS his work did not
in all respects conform to the rules
adopted, his time was raised to 1910
minutes. Esterly did the work in
1918, but errors brought it up to Is. 10.
Whipple got through in 1886, but was
Tailed 1856. There were two prizes
500 to the victor-and S., and the en-
trance fee of 81 each, to the second
man.
The buckingup contest took place
corner of Fourth and franklin, at 100
Pm. There were three entries: H.
S. Smith, of McIntosh's camp, H. S.
Dorman, of Hunters Point, and
George Diggs of Draham's camp in
Mason county. The log used was SO
inches in diameter. Smith won the
first prize in 5.45 minutes. It took
Dorman GIL and Digs 8.11t minutes
to do the job.
Immediately after this the aquatic
matches took place. Roy Church won
the log-rolling contest, with J. d.
Byrne for q competitor.
Campbell won the swimming match
with Bob Hawthorne contesting.
Time 1.3O; distance SO yards.
The tub-race and greased-pole walk
were declared off, there being no en-
tries.
The creased pig was then let loose
and after a spirited run was captured
by two men, who made off with piggie
as their award. Their names were
not given. Thus ended the first day.

A COOP Word FOR CANDY.-While
all, young and old, have liking for
CONNECTIONS, children are told that
candy Injuries the teeth, upses the
stomach, and performs many other
injurious things-and still the eating
goes on in obedience to some latent
instructive prompting, from unerring
nature. This necessity for sweets in
that convenient form is now recog.
nized by the general government
which is never far behind i'll supply
ing what is best for our fighting men.
Fifty tons OF candy have been sent to
our soldiers in the Philippine Islands
by the Commissary department OF the
army, during the past three months,
and large shipments to the soldiers in
Cuba and Porto Rico. This is done
upon advice OF the medical officers of
the army, because they have ascer-
tanned that it is physiological fact
that moderate consumption OF
confectionery promotes health and
satisfies natural craving of the stom-
ach. Candy was never furnished to
the United States army before, but it
has been commonly used as ration
by the French and British troops in
the tropics. This effectually banishes
the old idea that sweets are injurious
to the digestive organs, and shows
that a moderate use Of sweets is really
beneficial.

The weather bureau. in Washington
Tuesday night, issued the following
bulletin:
THE hot wave which has prevailed
during the ten or twelve days over New
England the middle Atlantic States. the
lake region, the Ohio valley and the cen.
trail West and Northwest continued dur.
Ing Tuesday, although temporary RELIEF
was afforded during the afternoon by
numerous thunder storms in New Eng
land and the middle Atlantic States and
at Chicago and st. Louis. AS yet this
warm wave has not equaled in duration
those OF 1881 and 1900, except in New
York city, where, during the present
hot wave, the maximum temperatures
have ranged from 30 to 9S during the
past seven days, exceeding the greatest
previous record by two days. Neither
have the extreme temperatures Of the
present wave yet exceeded the previous
highest record, although they nearly
equaled them. The eastward movement
OF another low pressure area in the ex-
IRENE west renders it improbable that
there will be any long.continued relief
from the high temperatures over dis
tricts now effected, but it is not probable
they will reach the previous extreme in
the Atlantic States because Of the influ-
ence OF moderate West Indian disturb
ance which appears to be moving north
west and over the lesser Antilles.
Two men were struck by lightning in
Chicago, Tuesday afternoon, during
the thunder storm which brought re-
lief from the terrible heat and humid
ity Of the atmosphere. The lightning
struck at twenty-five different points,
and kept the firemen busy answering
calls for their services in extinguish-
ing fires, all due to lightning.
And abroad-even across the briny
deep-conditions do not seem any
better. A London dispatch of the Cd
says: "While the weather in Eng
land is temperate, continual kilograms
continue to report the ravages of heat
and storm. Deaths from sunstroke
are numerous. In an Italian regi-
ment which was marching from Pisa
to Leghorn yesterday, there were thirty
cases of sunstroke, while many of the
soldiers dropped from exhaustion.
Storms have occurred in northern
France, where lightning has wrecked
churches and houses. Several fatali-
ties occurred"
"A dispatch from st. Petersburg
says: The crops in the province OF
Saratof are whitening and the grass is
scorched, owing to the prolonged heat
and drouth. The price of corn is
climbing up and the outlook at Sara
toff and in the neighboring volga dis
tricts is alarming. The scarcity prom.
ises to be as severe as the famine a
decade ago"
