The Latest On Miaude

Maude Muller jumped on the
time worn bike for an evening
hit on the dus,y pike. an old
drop frame and a way down
gera, with a rattle the sleeping
dead could hear. The judge
came pounding along behind
out airing his judicial mind. He
noted the figure neat and trim
and the graceful motion of the
hidden limb, and he said to
himself in grave delight, What's
the matter with Maude? She's
all right" He drew up beside
her and asked her fat why she
rode such an ice cart as that.
And she said salesladies could Ill
support such a wheel as thejudge
OF the district court. He told
her she could on a chainless ride,
with a diamond frame, if she'd
be his bride, Or if she would
burst her solo life they would
tandem together as man and
wife. Maude bit at the bait like
a hungry trout and the old man
smiled as he yanked her out.
They ride on a tandem now, Of
course, but Maude has to woi K
like a a treadnlill horse. For the
judge has learned to sit and shirk
and let his darling do all the
work. He weighs two hundred
and forty one, but the poor girl
thinks it an even ton.-Ex.

Artificial SILK Is Valuable.

Artificial silk apparently can be
made, but it answers to the real thing
as oleomargarine answers to butter.
Going the rounds of the papers of Con-
tinental Europe is an item that three
factories for the production of artifi-
cial silk are in operation; that one, in
Wolston, England, produces 5000
pounds a week; one in Besancon,
France, 10000 pounds, and one in
Spreitenbach, Germany, $500 pounds.
1t is stated, furthermore, that other
factories will soon be built in Belgium
and in Germany. Before the Frankfort
Society of Natural Philosophy Dr.
Freund, in recent lecture on the sub
ject, said that though artificial silk
can compete with natural silk, it is not
as valuable. Artificial silk has been
used as a covering for cables and as
substitute for horsehair, but it has
tendency to break If wetted and, there
fore, 1t must usually be mixed with
natural silk and cotton. The artificial
silk is cheaper than the natural, and
more brilliant effects can be produced
with it. This industry, which is said
to be purely chemical, is expected to be
developed to its fulleset extent in a
few years.-New York Press.

Product of the Texas
Field May Come
Into Use for Fuel.

United States, Mexico, the West Indies,
South America and Europe at a cost
so low that no other fuel can be used
in competition for steam purposes.
Fuel oil from wells in the Beaumont
field can be piped into the seaboard at
Port Arthur and run into tank steam
ers at a total cost of production and
transportation no exceeding ten cents q
barrel, and as three and one-half bar
rols Of oil are equal to one ton Of coal
for steam purposes, this is equal to the
delivery of coal at the seaboard at a
cost of thirty-fve cents ton.
The location is specially advantage
Gus for shipment to Mexico and the
West Indies, which are the largest i'm
pOrters of American COAL receiving
nearly eighty per cent of all the coal
that is exported, excepting that which
goes to Canada. In considering the eX-
port feature of fuel oil and the advan-
tageous location of the Beaumont field,
the growing importance Of New Or
leans and Galveston as seaports should
not be overlooked. These ports now
stand respectively fourth and fifth in
the value of their exports, which in
each case amount to more than double
that of San Francisco, and are only
exceeded by New York, Boston and
Baltimore.

Fine and Costly Leather.


The finest and most costly leather
that is used in this country for manu-
featuring purposes is known in the
trade as piano leather. This leather,
so called because it is exclusively en-
ployed for covering piano hammers. is
in its raw state an American product.
being the skin of the gray deer, which
are found only in the vicinity of the
great Northern and Western lakes. But
as American tanners have not acquired
the art of properly curing the skins,
they have to be shipped to Thuringia,
Germany, to be tanned before they can
be used by the manufacturers of piano
actions. The German tanners have
agents in the West, who collect the
deerskins from the Indians and half
breed hunters. When the skins are
returned to the United States as fin
ished piano leather they cost the piano
manufacturers from SIS to 500 per
pound. The worlds supply Of this val
liable and very necessary material is
monopolized by a family OF tanners
who own and operate six or seven es-
adjustments in Germany. the largest
Of which are located at Thuringsq.-

Verdict Meant Death.

Aldrich, Mo-, May 27th.-Four Of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore
of this place, who has been suffering
with q severe case of nervousness and
kidney disease. Each Of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing OF Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began TO use them, and instantly no.
ticed a change for the better. Her i'm
provemcnt has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance of
dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as If shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end of talk in
this neighborhood. and all are loud in
their praises OF this new remedy
Dodd's Kidney Pills--which is curing
so many hitherto incurable cases, in

Oil Versus
go va Coal

Ex-Gov. Hogg of Texas, believes that
the discovery OF oil in such bountiful
quantity in that commonwealth will
revolutionize the fuel question of the
whole world. He says that the manu-
facturers of this country and Europe
have not yet come to a sense of rea-
lization of what the wonderful oil dis
covery and development in the Beau
mont fields means to them. The prob
lem that now confronts the oil pro-
ducers of the new district is what shall
they do with the oil.
Seven gushers already in the Beau
mont field is a record which is adding
daily interest in the development in
the new oil region. 1t seems to be gen.
orally recognized that the great value
of the oil is its quality as a fuel,
placed by natured where it is capab G
of doing he most good to the greatest
number at the least cost of production.
The special advantages which Beau
mont oil has over any other oil in the
world is in the fact that it can be pro-
duced and marketed at a minimum
cost. Being produced within eighteen
miles of a seaport, It can be piped
into tank steamers at cost SO small
as TO be almost incalculable, and it
can be delivered at the seaports of the

bed OF the Massacre. And no soonel
thought than attempted. Huge boul-
ders and trunks of trees were repeat
eddy rolled into the river. This, the
Haytiens say, with the knowledge and
connivance OF the Dominican govern
ment. But up to the date Of the COM
mencement Of the present troubles all
such attempts to improve upon nature
proved unaYailing. For the Haytiens
on the left bank discovered the little
scheme, and time after time removed
the obstacles in the river before dam
age was done. However, within a cou-
pie Of weeks ago, a remarkable thing
happened. The Haytien soldiers at
Phitobert, situated on Haytien terri
tory on the left bank OF the Massacre,
retired to rest one night. When they
awoke next morning they looked in
vain for the river. The bed over
which the water had previously flowed
was dry. Investigations followed and
it was found that the river was flow
ing over a new channel some miles to
the west OF course the Dominicans
discovered. not that the river had
changed it's bed in the course Of a
night, but that the Haytien soldiers
had transferred some substantial
buildings some miles into the interior
of San Domingo in the space of a sin
gle setting and rising of the sun. The
Dominican representatives appeared
Immediately on what was Haytien ter
ritory the day before and called upon
the Haytien officer to remove his po-
sition to the other side of the river.
The Dominican officer who made the
demand expressed the indignation of
his government at the contemplate
action of the Haytiens. The Haytiens,
however, refused to withdraw their
post, calling instead upon the Domini-
cans to restore the river to its origi
nal bed. Then the trouble commenced.
There was a clash of arms The Hay
items had the upper hand, and so the
Dominicans agreed to have the whole
matter decided by arbitration. Mean
time, however, the Domincans are
quietly preparing for war, and there is
a strong feeling in Hayti that there
will be clash of arms before the ques-
ton Of arbitration is settled. The
Haytien troops along the frontier
have been reinforced and are now
quietly awaiting the coming of the
Dominicans to force them back across
the river.-Philadelphi Times.

Kingston. Jamaica, April A.

Kingston. Jamaica, April A..
The following statement of the
causes leading up to the recently de-
veloped boundary trouble between the
republics of Hayti and Santo Domin-
so and of the present condition of af-
fairs is furnished by persons just re-
turned from the island: What is
known as the Dominican republic, or
the republic of Santo Domingo, was
once a province OF the republic of
Hayti. In 1914 the internal troubles
and state Of anarchy which then pre-
vailed (as a result OF the revolution
which overthrow the government OF
President Boyer, after twenty-five
years in office facilitated and was the
cause of the secession of the eastern
portion of the island, which then pro-
claimed its independence. The exist
ence Of the new republic was recog-
nized by the Haytien government in
1874. The question of the delimitation
OF the frontiers arose naturally from
the fact that the territory of the
Dominican republic is not, and never
has been, defined. The incident that
has recently occurred at Phitobert, on
the northern frontier, and which great
ly endangers the friendly relations Of
the sister republics, is considered by
the Haytiens to be premeditated
provocation on the part of the Domin
leans. The Haytien posts established
in that district to put down smuggling
and brigandage from over the border
have. had to defend themselves against
the repeated attacks. By mutual con-
sent the river Massacre, which divides
the Dominican province of Dajabon
Tor LaXavon) from Haytien territory
has for long time been Professionally
accepted by this government as the
natural boundary of the two states.
All the country on the right bank of
the river was acknowledged to belong
to Santo Domingo, while the country
on the left bank was regarded by both
governments as Haytien territory.
And hereby hangs a funny and in
teresting tale. The Dominicans a year
or two ago conceived a brilliant idea.
Knowing that nature sometimes makes
rivers in the tropics change their
courses it occurred to some people re-
siding on the right bank of the stream
that they might add considerably TO
Dominican territory if they could
manage to effect a deviation in the

Intoxicating Criticism, of Two Mon.

Writing in the Critic of certain quail
tiles Of Brander Matthews and Harry
Thurston Peck, "A Professor of Lat
in" says: Professor Brander Mat
thews and Harry Thurston Peck pos
sess all the properties Of a high-grade
intellectual intoxicant. One reads them
to the points OF dizziness, gets quar-
relsome as the draughts go down, and
suffers the inevitable headache after
it is all over; nor has any Kelley yet
appeared with an effective remedy.
And so when these two authorities fall
upon one another, one feels an imme-
dite desire to have a hand in the scrim-
mage, in favor of one or the other,
both or neither, as the case may be.
