recently advertised in matrimonial
paper for a wife and received Psi
answers. He decided to pay a
visit to seven, and settle his choice
on the one that impresses him
most favorably. His first visit was
to a wealthy middle-aged widow in
Hartford, Conn.,, where he was
cordially received and entertained
by the Congregationalist ministers
of that place. He left the next

PIOUS GERMAN FRAUDS,
Warehouse of the HeDseatic
League.

Facing the lower harbor of Bergen,
at the end of long row of quaint old
warehouses. stands a venerable build
Finnegaarden, one of the counting
houses of the league, which has been
preserved intact and is now museum
filled with interesting relies of that
celebrated corporation. They show
how its managers and employees lived
and conducted business. The league
owned the harbor and a considerable
portion of the city, and controlled not
only its manufacturing, mercantile
trade and foreign commerce, but also
its fisheries, which have always been
its most valuable industry. Bergen
then, as now, was the greatest fish
market in the world. writes w. E. Cur
tbs. in the Chicago Record-Hera
The management of the business of
the league was intrusted only to Ger
mans, who were imported for tina It puf-
pose, and were not allowed to marry
lest their wives should learn its Sc
crets. The managers and Clerks were
housed in colonies of IA, each colony
having control of certain separate ac-
counts of its transactions. The men
slept in cupboards built into the walls
in curious manner. They did their
own cooking. They had their own
church, with priests imported from
Germany, They were pious seopn-
drels, as the evidence shows. for along
with their crucifixes and prayer books
and pictures of the saints are rec
ords showing that they kept two sets
of scales, one for buying and one for
selling, and the attendant will show
you parchment book in which the
manager notes for the ediiication OF
his employers that he cheated a fish
erman out of 200 vogs of fish-a vog
being So pounds-and invokes 1.-The
blessing of God upon this small profit"
The inscription over the door Of the
counting house reads: "Without God's

steady approach from Annoy, south
of us, for two or three years, and
the newspapers had been keeping us
Informed about it when it was com.
monty spoken of jas the Hong-Kong
plague, where 1t was supposed to
have originated. But the world has
since learned that the people of
Hong-kong were not sinners above
all the Asiatics, that they should
have been the first victims of this
scourge of God to make filthy hui
manity clean up. Hong-Kong has had
the plague more or less severely for
China coast, and the hinterland of
this colony has been the native heath
whence this worlds terror sailed
forth upon its tour of conquest.
Each year we have supposed would
be the last. We have been told that
three years would finish the visit
and the unlimited guest would take
his departure. But such has not
been the case. Not only is he still
here, but age does not enfeeble him,
nor diminish his thirst for human
life. The disease is more fatal than
ever and no less widely spread. The
plan of letting this enemy of man.
kind die of old age is not fulfilling
the expectations of its friends. 1t
looks as though humanity might die
first. 1t is IA common thing to hear
of whole household perishing with
in few days or perhaps leaving one
or two survivors. No attempt is
made at isolation of patients nor dis
injecting houses. People run away
from it to neighboring villages. only
to carry the disease with them.

The soil in which they flourish is
composed of peat and clean, sharp
sand, the latter being absolutely es-
sential to healthy growth. The bush
on which the berries appear grows
about six inches high, and every year
it puts out runners" that, in turn,
take root and form new bushes; so

CANAL BILL IN HOUSE.
Reports That Senate Amendments Will
 be Accented,

Washington, June 2O.-Soon after the house had sent the canal bill to confer ence to-day reports gained circulation among members that there was not likely to be protracted struggle in conference and that the senate amend ment probably would be the basis of the ultimate agreement, One of the house conferees, MT. Fletcher, of Min nesota, frankly stated to his associates that he thought an agreement would be reached on the Panama amendment. Chairman Hepburn was not prepared, however. to concede that the fight was over He cited the fact that the vote in the house had been practically unan- imous in favor of the Nicaragua bill, only two adverse votes being cast The democratic conferee, Judge Davey, of Louisiana, also was counted on as strongly favorable to the Nicaragua route.
