woul Not obey orders.

When William b. Chandler was sec
rotary of the navy he issued an order
that officers should not permit their
wives to reside at the foreign stations
to which their husbands were attached.
The order was promptly rescinded upon
the receipt by the secretary Of the fol-
lowing from Commodore Fyffe, in COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron: 1T be-
comes my painful duty to report that
my wife, Eliza Fyffe. has, in disobe-

LIS OF PovERTY IN INDIA

Returned Traveller Reports Almost In
credible Conditions There.
II have lived in Calcutta for the
past fifteen years" said Robert
Humphrey Of England, now in Wash
ington. I'VE have many people in
Great Britain who are in poor circum-
stances. but a man has to see how
the masses in India live to under
stand the meaning Of 'abject poverty.
From my observation I do not hes
itate TO say that half Of the people
who toll in the fields over there do
not know what it is to have their hum
ger satisfied. The masses do not live;
they merely exc out a miserable exist
ence, and from the cradle to the grave
there is IN incessant battle with pri-
walton and want.
"As a rule they subsist on one meal
per day, and not in%freQuently. even in
districts that are not listed as famine
stricken. they have this insufficient
quota Of food only on alternate days.
When one considers that the average
income Of the native farmer Is, accord
ing to good authority. So a year, It is
no surprise to hear how impoverished
Is the country. In fact. there is
scarcely a year that passes over the
heads of these unfortunates that they
have u assurance Of escaping a
period Of famine. The grim specter
Of starvation is ever at their doors.

Mr.. Bernard Shaw VIII have sAe
sympathy Of writers-and we should
think Of compositors-in his protest
against the use Of the a%postrophe. He
has himself dropped it out Of "aint, "
"dont" and "shouldnt"-but not out
Of "heTT'-before he wrote his protest
in "The Author" But why all these
inverted commas. "the silly trick Of
p~eppering pages with these uncouth
bacilli"? You will find none of these
bacilli in the Bible. Take this pas
a chosen at random; Now Jesus
knew that they were DESTROYS to ask
Him, and said unto them, Do ye in
quire among yourselves of that l said,
A little while, and We shall not see
me; and again, a little while, and ye
shall see me? The modern compos-
itor would set that passage between
two brackets Of inverted commas, for
1t is a quote within a quote. But 1t
is beautifully clear as it stands, And
among all Biblical misunderstood
ings. no one we think has been misled
ly the absence of an inverted comma.

MOUNTAINS OF WEALTH
Stephen e. Barron Talks of the

on his way home from visit to his native
state. Vermont Mr.. Barron is specl-
men Of thelhustling New Highlander in the
business affairs Of the great northwest,
and is identified with many successful en-
terprises of Washington. He gives a
glowing description of the possibilities for
both labor and capital in his state. His
section Of the state is given chiefly to
mining. One county-Okanogan-h
ing more than II 900 square miles area,
produces gold, silver, lead, zinc, coal, iron
and copper. 1t also produces great va
riety of agricultural products. Perhaps
one of its most promising mining enter
prises Is the g. s. copper mine: Of this
Mr. Barron says: '1& - - -5-~0-
The Q. S. copper mine, upon which work
has been steadily progressing since july, 1887,
has now uncovered a ledge of copper ore 800
feet wide and neary 5000 feet long, and esr
Inmates made by an expert engineer place the
ore above the development tunnel at this
1,6OO-foot level at 50,OOO,000 tons. The vein
extends downward for several thousand feet
in all probability, and it is readily seen tina,
the supply OF copper is not likely to run oul
soon The Republic camp In Ferry county
is producing ore beyond all the expectations
of it's original promoters, and the railroad
now building to the mills in this neighbour
hood will soon be hauling. away thousands of
tons of rich ores daily. Stevens county also
has several shipping mines in operation, not
to mention the many .quarries of marble
equal to the best product of the state of Yer
mont And there are many other mining
properties in the state besides those men,

this very day there are thousands Of men
employed in the construction of railways in
several places. The next five years will see
railways, electric and steam, to nearly all
points desired. There Is water power enough
in our rivers to supply the motive were it
but harnessed and controlled. And this is

Winnipeg, Man, March 31;-The North

something Of the way they do things In
Canada that has opened its eyes. At the
same time other American railways have
been given notice to keep out Of Mani
toba; THAT the province intends to monop-
Ollie its own railways and keep American
lines south of the international boundary.
The Northern Pacific had several branch
lines through the wheat growing country
of southern Manitoba. These were feeders
to the main lines to Lake Superior at
Duluth. Two years ago the Canadian
Northern. then being built with trans
continental aspirations, by the Canadian
firm Of Mackenzie, Mann & Co., wanted
feeders in Ma nitoba The Manit oban gov
ernment, therefore, in; secret connection
with Mackenzie, Mann G. Co., asked the
Northern Pacific what it would take for
all3.its property north of the boundary
roads rolling stock; everything.
The, outlook was not good. There had
been several bal years and business had
not been satisfactory. So the. Northern
Pacific made figure, coupled with an OPP
ton for a certain period of time. The
figure named was s. 800 900 more than
Messrs. Mellen ant Hannaford of the
road considered the property worth at a
fair figure, and they had not the slightest
idea, the government had anW hing more
than trif1ing curiosity as to what they
thought it all worth. Just before the ex-
piration of the option the government
notified Mr.. Mellen it would accept his
proposition.
The lines weres bought. They were i'm
mediately turned over to Mackenzie, Mann
& "Co.; at a rental that paid interest on
the purchase price. The firm built road
