A letter was received by Miss Mar
jorie Powderly. Of this city, yester-
day from her brother, Joseph Powder
ly, formerly of this city. but who is
now in Eagle Pass, Texas. In the let
ter he tells of the death of a tele-
phone lineman down there, who died
suddenly. He was buried there, and
afterwards a search Of his effects re-
vealed the fact that he was a SOL
der in the Spanish-American war;
and his discharge papers, which he
carried with him, gave his name as
Frank Christian and his place of en-
listment as Sunbury, Pa.
The superintendent OF the telephone
company requested that Pennsylvania.
papers should publish an account OF
his death, so that his relatives. IL he
has any, should be made aware Of tho
place where Christian lies buried. Sun
bury papers are especially requested
to copy this notice.

MATE.
South American Tea to Be Represent.
ed at the Pan-American.

a South American shrub called ysr-
va or yerba, or yerba mate, Is des-
tined to attract considerable attention
in the near future. From its leaves a
tea is infused which possesses the
properties OF invigorating without ine-
briating, to which may be added the
sustaining properties usually attri-
buted to coffee. But little known or
used, except locally, 1t Is so highly
recommended by those who know it's
value that great expectations have
been raised as to its ultimate useful
ness.
The plant is small evergreen
shrub of the holly family. Verbal IL
the native name for the places where
1t is found growing wild along the
Paraguay river. Natives have for
centuries prepared the tea by gent
ly roasting the green leaves until dry
enough to grind to a powder. This
Is done by preparing bed by pound
ing with wooden mallets a patch OF
ground about six feet in diameter.
Around this, fire is built I'm a circle.
and the leaves placed on the ground
within the circle of fire. When dry
enough the leaves are pounded to the.
TSVulTeu HneneSS IN nOrtarS tOrmed
by punching holes I'M the earth which
have been rammed hard and smooth.
In some section, a second roasting Is
done on poles with the fire underneath.
In any manner considerable care is
necessary in order to develop the
aroma to the fullest extent.
Methods of cultivation have beeen
adopted by the Jesuits and the quality
OF the leaf much improved thereby.
Roasting is done in iron pans set in
brick work, and the grinding done by
machinery which greatly improves tho
quality of the tea.
The first systematic attempt at cui-
tivation and preparation Of the yerbs
mate on a large scale IL now under
way. A company has been formed at
Asuncion, Paraguay, with a capital Of
100000. Prospects seem good to make
an imemnse business of the proper
growing and marketing of mate, as
many people think 1t should hold a
place i'm the markets of the world
equal to tea or coffee. Others say the
taste must be acquired, like eating
olives, as few people like It when max
ing its acquaintance for the first time.
However this may be. visitors to the
Pan-American Exposition will have
an opportunity to sample the producs
and Judge for themselves.

OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.
Their Productions, Needs and r,
sources Shown at Buffalo.

The United States government IL
making arrangements properly to rep
resent Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philip
pines, Hawaii, Guam and Tutuila at
the Pan American exposition. Most of
us have had very little opportunity to
study the resources and needs of these
places. The exposition will offer the
first opportunity to make their ac-
quaintance under very favorable aus
pices. A building is In course of con-
stiuction which forms one of the tri-
angular groups arranged by the gov
ernment. This building Is 150 feet
square tastefully decorated in keeping
with the general plan OF the exposition.
The idea of grouping these new pos
sessions by themselves Is an effective
one and the general public win natur-
ally associate the different possessions
as being historically connected.
These possessions broaden our lati-
tude by adding the tropical and semi
tropical regions. 1t seems proper now
that we should set about their sys-
tematic development. Tea, coffee and
spices may be grown in these conn
tries in abundance. Cocoanut copra
may be manufactured into oil on the
ground where the fruit is grown in
stead of being shipped to France, as
has been the custom for a hundred
years. Manila and other fibres may be
improved and their cultivation ma
terially extended. The first thing for
the sovereign people of the United
States to do is to study the question.
This may be followed by careful, sys-
tematic improvements I'm the many
directions that will be suggested, The
Psn-American exposition, by this ex-
tensive exhibit, Will start the ball roll
ing. There seems little doubt that the
momentum thus gained will be fol
lowed up to the advantage Of every
country in the group.
