E O'Clock

Teas are nothing more than nVe o'clock whiskies, that's what one or the greatest temperance advocates 1n America says. Well, if such is the case (and we have no reason for doubt, it's a pretty how do you do, to use TEA for a blind. Such hypo- critics should not be tolerated. If you attend five o'clock teas and whiskey is served, just assert your rights and inform the people who invited you there that you want no fiim-fiam game played on you. See that there is nothing stronger than tea served, and if possible try and have them buy the tea at our store, then you'll get the good kind. Say. if whiskey at 15c per glass will kill you quickly, and 1Oc whiskey will kill you more quick ly, what on earth will 5c whiskey do to you? However, some people will drink it. Then again, if tea or coffee is served at your table and it's any thing but nice tasting, you don't relish it. Who can blame you if you raise a kick" then and there? Goodness knows soc per pound is reasonable for delicious nice tasting tea. particu- larly when pound will make 15 gal Ions of as nice a drink as you could wish for, and that's the quality we sell. Remember. we give 4 bars of the very best laundry soap in the market with each pound of our warranted good quality soc tea. Orr Cream Java coffee, BOG per pound. can't be beat at the price: and our pc or 24c butter will surprise you for quality. You'll wonder how we can sell such nice sweet butter at the price. but we do.1 and we invite you to try it from Phelan's TT Store,

HURTS THEIR TRADE
People Of Southern Alaska Exer-
cised Over Smallpox
Scare.

Seattle, May 13.-The steamer Diri-
go, from Skagway and way points, ar
rived here this morning, bringing news.
that the people of southeastern Alas
ka are much exercised over the small
pox scare and are making strong eff
forts to counteract the erect of it on
travel to Lynn Canal and way ports.
A public meeting under the auspices
of the chamber of commerce at juneau
has been held with a view to taking
action to have the quarantine re-
moved by the government. This meet
ing was pending when the Dirigo
sailed from Juneau on the evening Of
the Sth instant.
Southeastern Alaska ports complain
that the smallpox scare has the eff
feet of seriously discriminating against
American commercial interests north,
for the reason tnat there is no quaran-
tine against Canadian people from
Victoria and Vancouver. Special Off
GERS have been appointed at Skagway
and Juneau to maintain a perfect
quarantine against neighboring In
dian villages and camps and corps
of physicians is busy vaccinating.

Keen Disappointment.

San Jose, Cal, May 13.-Thousands
of people between Del Monte and San
Jose, who had been anticipating a
sight of the president for months,
were disappointed today. The presi.
dents presencein San Jose for an hour
this afternoon took the edge off the
disappointment here, where rose
carnival was being held in his honor
and where the flcral display surpassed
anything ever before seen in this part
of the country.
After leaving Del Monte this morn
ing the cabinet carried ont the itin.
erary as originally Planned, stopping
at Pabaro and Santa Cruz and visiting
the big trees in the san Lorenzo val
ley, but they had no neart to put into
the festivities in the absence of their
chief, and the keen regret of the peo-
pie was written on their countenances.
Many expressions of kindly sympathy
for Mrs. Mckinley were heard at each
stopping place.
At Santa Cruz, Secretary of State
Hay was representative of the presi-
dent to the address of welcome made
by the mayor. The presidents pres
ence here barely saved the day. He
ran down from San Francisco in his
special car, arriving here just as the
cabinet train pulled into the city from
the south. But he only remained for
the formal exercises. At $3.50 o'clock
when they were concluded, he was
driven back to the station and left
Immediately for San Francisco. At
st. James square, opposite the court
house a handsomely decorated stand
had been erected and here the formal
exercises took place, the president re-
spending to the address of welcome.
Immediately in the rear of the stand
was the bouquet of which so much had
been heard. It was 80 feet in cir
cumference and stood in it's frame rs
feet high. The stem was a telegraph
pole sunk in the ground. 1t was COM
posed of cut flowers of every variety
that blooms The idea of presenting
this immense floral Offering to Mrs.
Mckinley originated with the ladies Of
san Jose and the presentation was
made to the president by Mrs. E. o.
Smith, who expressed tender words OF
regret for Mrs. McKinleys illness and
her hopes for her quick recovery
The members of the cabinet took a
long drive through the orchards Of the
Santa Clara valley, which had been
planned for the president, visiting on
the way the Jesuit college at Santa
Clara and University Of the Pacific.
Great preparations had been made
along the route to receive the presi.
dent the disappointment at not seeing
him was very keen. Tonight big
| reception had been planned for the
| president at Vendome hotel and the
programme was carried out, the mem
bers of the CABINET and ladies of the
party all attending this function.

WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED
The Charred Remains Are Found
in Smoldering Ruins of
Their Home.

Shirley, Me-, May 1o.-The murders
which have startled the rural districts
of Maine during the past few months
are all overshadowed by a tragedy
that occurred in this town yesterday,
out of existence and fire used to hide
the crime. The victims are: J. Wes-
ley Allen, selectman; his wife and a.
year-old daughter. The charred bod
les were found in the embers of their
house which stood on the stage road
leading from Mason to Moosehead
lake. On every hand were evidences
that murder and even worse had been
done. The only clue to the identity
of the murderers is furnished by man
named Johnson who reported today
that he was held up this morning on
the road by four men, all being intoxi-
Gated, one of whom answers the de.
scription of the highwayman who held
up the stage last week.
The greatest excitement prevails in
the community and arms and ammuni-
tion have been procured by the farm
ers who fear a visit from the murder.
erS
Charles Tibbets while driving long
the stage road with his children to the
village school saw the ruins of the
Allen farm house and searched among
the embers, finding the bones of the
vodies. He gathered the nearest neigh
bors and the ruins were searched and
bones of three persons were found.
At one place near the barn cellar there
was blood and locks of Mr.. Allen s
gray hair.

STILL PRocRAsTINATING.
Cuban Constitutional Convention De.
LAYS Final Action.

lays TlHdl ACIlOus
Havana, May 13.-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention met today in
secret session and formally consid-
cred the report of the commission that
went to Washington to obtain more
definite information regarding the in
tentions of the United States govern
ment. General Suguilly objected to
the report on the ground of incom-
pleteness, pointing out that the COM
mission made no recommendations
Senor Guamberto Gomez recommended
that the report be referred to the COM
mittee on resolutions whose last re-
port had not yet been acted upon. He
admitted the commissions visit to
Washington threw new light on the
subject and he thought it only just
that they be allowed to change their
report in order to make it conform
with the new conditions.
An attempt was made to accept the
commissions report, but the motion
of Senior Gomez was finally carried,
the committee being instructed to act
promptly. It is expected that several
days will elapse before the amended
report is submitted to the convention.
A movement is on foot to delay ac-
tion until after the municipal cleo
tiOns.
A majority of the committee on res
olutions are in favor Of acquiescing
to the Platt amendment.

ENGLAND A MIGHTY POWER

London May 13.-rhe marquis of
Salisbury speaking tonight at ban
quet of the Non-Conformist Unionist
association, said
1T is a sad retrospect when we
think of the number of young lives
that have been quenched, the splendid
hopes cut short and the amount OF
blood shed in the war in South Afri.
ca. 1t is grievous retrospect. Yet
from it any sign of wrong on the part
of England is absolutely absurd. In
deed there are circumstances which
make every lover Of his country look
back with eXhultation ana gratifica.
tion upon those circumstances.
These circumstances have been
sufficient to show that the spirit of our
countrymen still burns as bright as at
any other period of our history. When
l was at the foreign Office used to
hear frequently that our time had
passed; that our star had set, and
that we were living in the valor OF
those who had gone before. The war
in South Africa has shown the strength
of England, which was never more
conclusively shown. There is no pow.
er in the world, but knows that if it

mics it could encounter"
Subsequently the premier said:
IF home rule had passed in 1898
what would England's position, with
hostile Irish government in Dublin
have been today? What would our
position have been if we not only had
to meet the Transvaal and Orange
Free State, but equally hostile Ire
land by our side? We know from oul
experience the danger of letting Ire
land have measure of independence
We know that if we allowed those who
are leading Irish policies the power
of making preparations against us we
should have to begin by conquering
Ireland if we ever had to fight any 9th

Insult to American
Flag.

Santiago de Cuba, May 13.-There
was an exciting ball game between the
Americans and the Cubans here yes

of II to 10. During the enthusiastic
demonstration which followed hun
dreds crowded on the. field and jubil
ant crowd attempted to pull down the

American players interfered and q
lively scrimmage followed. A squad

USE ANCIENT METHODS.
English manufacturers Stick to ANTI
quated Machinery.

New York, May 13-President Bern
ard T. Baker of the Atlantic Transport
line, arrived here from London tonight
on the steamship Minneapolis He
went to England a short time ago for
the purpose of securing, through the
aid Of J. P. Morgan the consolidation
OF the Atlantic Transport and the Ley
land lines, the fleets Of which will
next year aggregate 75,00O,00O tons.
Should the deal be consummated, the
combined lines will be the largest in
the world. Morgan has just purchased
the Leyland line. President Baker
when first spoken to on the subject
of the combine of the companies
seemed reluctant to discuss the mat
ter, but finally admitted that the COM
bine had as yet no legal standing,
but there is a likelihood that in the
near future those controlling the two
lines may find it to their interest to
amalgamate.
President Baker said that the Eng
lish people have just begun to realize
that the United States and Germany
are far ahead of them in the manufac-
ture Of machinery and are fast TAX
ing possession of the ocean carrying
business This is because these two
countries are operating with the most
improved tools, while the English sill
adhere to antiquated methods which
are costly as well as slow There is
the most gloomy outlook in England,
he said, on account Of this discovery
of the real state of things and it is
there believed that Germany, with
her fast growing colonies, will be a
more dangerous competitor than the
United States. At the present time,
Mr.. Baker asserted that the London
docks, which originally cost millions
of dollars to build, are not suitable
for the docking of the monster vessels
now plying the ocean and parliament
has passed an act allowing them to be
rebuilt
