SAMOA WITHOUT MINERALS.
Wild Stories of Collaborating Sands
Denied by COnsu1-General
Osborn.

Consul General Osborne at Samoa
writes to the state department, says a
Washington report:
There have been so many letters of
inquiry sent to this Office concerning
the discovery of gold and other pre-
cious metals in these islands that 1 feel
it my duty to report upon the subject.
United States papers have published
statements in regard to the gold-bear-
ing sands of Samoa, and it appears that
many people have paid for expenses of
development, etc. l have from time to
time made investigations, and if there
are minerals-either gold, silver, mica,
nickel, zinc, tin, or any other-in these
islands, have been unable to find them
or to find any person who has any
knowledge of the fact. If there is any
gold mining company of Apia' Gas re-
ported in United States papers), the
records do not disclose the fact, and
the officials have no information upon
the subject. No steamers, schooners
or other vessels are engaged in trans
porting sands or ores to Sydney, or to
San Francisco, or elsewhere; no such
persons as those named as constitut-
ing the 'gold-mining company are
known here, and, in my judgment, tre-
mendous swindle is being perpetrated
and the public ought to know the
facts"

NO MORE CANNED CRAB.
Only Man Who Knew How to Can the
Meat Is Dead-May Not Have
Told the Secret.

James McMenamin, the only success
full Gamer of crab meat in the world,
has just died in the hospital at Balti-
more, and it is feared that his secret
has died with him, reports New York
exchange. He is believed to have made
$1OO0,O out of crab canning by run
ming a large cannery at Hampton, Va,
for six months in the year, but he kept
the process hidden even from his work
people, and unless his will divulges it
or he confided the secret to his sons
before his death, the canning plant will
have to be shut down and nobody may
ever know why it's proprietor succeed
ed where others failed.
Mr.. McMenamin went to Virginia
from Massachusetts in 1878. While
working as a clerk for Mayor White
head, of Norfolk, it came out that he
knew how crab meat could be canned
without losing it's flavor and Mayor
Whitehead helped him to establish a
small cannery at Hampton. In time the
small cannery was replaced with big
ger one, but never has the big one been
able to meet all the demands upon it
for canned crab meat.
During the six months of the year
when the cannery was open the pro-
prietor was the busiest man in it. A
large force of colored women picked
the meat from the crabs. 1t was sent
to locked room in which Mr.. McMen-
amin personally attended to it's prepa-
ration. Then it was sealed in the cans.
Last year the demand for canned
crab meat was unprecedented and the
man with the secret, when he died,
was wondering how he could increase
the output for this year.

Victoria,s Indian Attendant.

The late queens Indian attendants
have been retired on pensions, says
Truth, and several of them have al
ready returned to their native land.
The departure of these oriental
menials from England will not be re-
GREETED by anyone about the court,
as they gave an enormous deal of
trouble, and, being regarded as priv
ileged persons, they were excessive
ly arrogant and insolent to the Brit
ish domestics, most of whom both
feared and detested them. They
were constant source of worry, fuss
and anxiety. The queens munshi-
Hafiz Abdul Karin-who has been a
powerful parsonage at court for the
last Is years or so, is also going back
to India with pension. The munshi
and his wife had charming cottage
on the Frogmore demesne, and a

freight. Counting the cost of

Ready for ExscutiOn.

Superintendent Cornelius V.
Collins will send request to Sec
retary of State Hay to designare
an official representative Of the
government to be present at the
electrocution of Czolgosz. the mur-
derer of President Mckinley.
Oaly twenty-six witnesses will be
present in the chamber of death
when the sentence is executed.
Warden Meade. of Aubprn pris-
on, has sent to Superintendent
Collins the requests he has re-
ceived for permission to attend the
electrocution, over 1000 in ell. The
law will limit the number of wit
nesses and the superintendent VIII
decide who the witnesses shall be.
1t has been stated at the state
department of prisons that Czol.
gosz is in a continuous state OF
collapse, and that he breaks down
and weaps every time anything is
said to him concerning the electro
cution, are false. Superintendent
Collins had talk with the con-
demued man some days ago, and
at that time he said he knew ht
had to die. He expressed no fea'
as to the electrocution, but saic
that he would not care to go out
side of the prison, for he believed
that the people would kill him.

The Paper We Consume.

Fifty pounds of paper for cash
individual was the amount con-
sumed in this country last year.
The United states puts 6,0OO,0OO,
600 pounds Oh the market annu-
ally, according to the latest statis-
tics, and has alb nut 1000 mills en-
gagged in the ma ufacture of paper.
This industry has grown from one
little mill that manufactured paper
from rags in Philadelphia in 1890.
While the output has increased SO
tremendously, and the demand
has caused the substitution of
wood pulp for ingredients used in
the early manufacture, the princi-
pie on which it is made remains
practically the same as that OF
China centuries ago. We not
only consume more paper than any
other country. but We are reaching
out for the markets of the world
and with our output furnish rail
ways and steamships with about
100000 tons of freight year

vestment, and one that IS go

any time, effort and money, II

who own both inside and out

afford to let this golden Oppt
tunity slip through their ting
ers. The very little to be don

will come back in prohI'

himself can afford to help this
enterprise along. Let every
