MISSING BLIND MAN
A Stranger With Money and Jewelry
Suddenly Disappears.

a few days ago a blind man. n
stranger in the city. stopped at the
Lemon hotel. He seemed to have plen-
ty of money and considerable jewelry.
among which were some diamonds. He
exhibited his money at the hotel and
also at Coffee AIS restaurant, where
three days and suddenly disappeared
without paying for his lodging. 1t is
not believed by the hotel people that
he meant to beat them. but they fear
that he has met with some accident
and possibly foul play. BY a curious
coincidence. on the day he disappeared
a blind man was brought TO the board
of supervisors with n sorrowful tale.
He said he was on his way from Mis-
sissippi to see his son, who lives at
ella Bend. The son had sent him money
to pay his fare. He bought ticket.
but lost it on the way. An arrange
nent was made with the railroad by
which he was given a half-fare rate
for the rest Of the journey That took
all his money. so that when he arrived
in Phoenix he was penniless and had
had nothing to eat for hours. Mr.. Os-
born. the clerk of the board, gave him
money To-: his dinner and arranged for
his transportation to ella Bend and
gave him more money Tor his expenses
while he was waiting at Maricopa. The
old man was very grateful and wanted
tic leave handsome cane which he said
he had for several years and which

The demand for sugar is Increasing
very rapidly, more rapidly perhaps
than the production. The United States
department of agriculture in speaking
of this says in late report: I'm this
country there is scarcely an individual
who cannot be classed as a consumer,
regularly and directly of this product.
1t is only necessary to study the con-
stantly widening use to which sugar is
put in order to understand the wonder
full increase in its consumption. Even
as an article of diet the amount of
sugar consumed per capita has grown
greatly in the last half century and
quite perceptibly in the last quart ar
The prime reasons for this increase are
%, the fact that the people are be-
coming more able to purchase the good
things of life; (2). the gradual cheaper
ing of sugar. Many things that were
formerly luxuries are now real necessi-
ties. In the homes of the people sugar
was first on the list to be affected By
the demand for a better style of liv-
ing. AS the years roll on this increase
will be more or less constant"

Under the modest name OF David II
Jarvis of Pennsylvania nominated to
be collector of customs at Sitka the
mass of the public may not recognize
Lieutenant Jarvis, the gallant young
officers of the revenue marine service
who made a 2.00O-mile trip across the
Arctic ice TO rescue n handful of sail
ors on whaling ships frozen in near
Point Barrow, where it was impossible
to. replenish their food and other stores
1t was a most perilous expedition. but
was entirely successful. not an acct
dent occurring to any member of the
rescuing party, thanks to the admin
istrative ability and foresight with
which Jarvis had planned the whole
business. This wonderful feat hap
pened, unfortunately. to be performed
in 1898. the year of our war with Spain
The American public was shouting
themselves hoarse over the heroes of
that war. and had little attention to
give to the contemporary heroes of
peace. Had the same exploit occurred
in a year not surfeited with excitement
Jarvis would have ranked in history
with Franklin and Kane and other dar-
books Of romance written about him.

Lewis Nixon, the young ship-builder
and new leader of Tammany hall. has
strong faith in the submarine boat for
naval warfare. He considers that
there is not the slightest doubt that.
in future warfare on the seas, subma-
rine boats will play a very prominent
part. In the system of naval tactics
which has been evolved by hundreds of
years of sea fighting, these small, in
conspicuous boats will bring about
changes which will be almost revolu-
tionary. The blockading % ports. as
practiced under our present system,
will be wellnigh impossible. The i'm

II wish for the sake of the definition
venture to talk a little about Wall
street" said the Rev. Minot ]. Savage
of New York, in sermon a week ago.
Il hear Wall street referred to con-
stantly as a place of indiscriminte and
universal gambling. and the danger is
that young men will cite Wall street
as an example and excuse for their
gambling. What is Wall street? 1t
is an absolutely essential thing in
great commercial civilization. The
work of the modern world could not
go on without Wall street; it is the
great rneasurer of values: properties
all over the world are listed in center
like that, and they are measured
against each other and their actual
value ascertained. Then it is a great
market. an essential market, that the
worlds work may be carried on. Prop
erty in Oregon, property in Central
America, property in South America
that could find no market in Oregon.
Central or South America may fad Il
market in Wall street: and so the
world becomes open to the great bene-
ficent transactions and exchanges
which make up the commerce OF the
civilized world. Through the great
combinations OF capital which are pos
sible in Wall street enterprises are
entered upon and carried out that ii
would be impossible to put through in
any other way; and the brokers that
carry on these enterprises are inestim-
able public servants. The great things
for which Wall street exists are not
gambling; they are legitimate. and in
every way necessary to carry on the
processes of modern civilization"
