How Hats Were Introduced to thu
South African Savages.

Row Hats We're Introduced to the
South African Savages. 30
Andres De Villiers, a Boer, was the
person who first introduced hats among
the South African natives, says the
Hatters Gazette, and profit, not phi
lanthropy, was his motive. One morn
ing many years ago he Glanced in Port
Elizabeth to come across a consign-
ment of damaged hats offered for a
mere song. He bought the whole lot,
packed them away in his wagon and
started for Kaffirland.
When he reached Tembuland, he un-
loaded his stock, opened his kegs of liq-
uor, without which no trade was made
in those days, and began business. But
he found his venture likely to prove an
improbable one. The natives did not
want hats. They wanted blankets and
beads and looking glasses and above
all liquor, but they looked askance at
hats. Then a bright idea came. to An
dries. He wanted to introduce those
hats. He did introduce them. His sim
pie %expedient was to refuse to sell any
LAAuS " d NdllI uulCSS uC UOuSuL d
hat too. The Kafirs wanted his goods,
so they bought the hats.
When a Kaffir buys anything, he
feels bound to make use of it. The ma
tives therefore donned their head gear
and returned to their kraals. Now ap-
peared the brilliancy of tile traders
idea. Fashion rules the world. 1t is as
strong in Africa as in America, and
when those who had stayed at home
saw the travellers return in all the glo-
ry Of this strange covering they felt
behindhand and old fashioned. Their
desire to possess the latest thing in
hats became intense. They paid An
dries a visit, and his stock no longer
hung heavy upon his hands. The hats
were soon sold. e
This happened some time ago, and
now every trading store keeps a supply
of hats constantly on hand. They are
said to be manufactured expressly for
the natives, and no n who glances at
the show will doubt it.

LEARNING A LANGUAGE.
It Is Comparatively Easy to Acquire
q Working Vocabulary. :

It Is Comparatively Easy to Acquire
a Working Vocabulary.
ut doesn't require any great length
Of time to learn a language if one has
patience" said a man who has mas
tered several languages, and when /
hear a mar regret that he is not able
to speak French or German or Spanish
Or some other language unknown to
him 1 cannot conceal my amusement.
In nine cases out Of ten l might say
that the men who express a regret of
this sort handle English very poorly
if that happens to be their language.
""The chances are that their vocabu-
laries are extremely limited, and it
would probably surprise them to know
that despite the advantages of birth
and education they could not command
more than 600 or 700 words in English
If their lives depended upon it.. Yet
they are able to carry on intelligent con-
! versation, and many Of them may be-
come forcible and even automatic in
their savings, and they plunge into dis
cussions of literature, art, music and
other subjects of such fine elegance
and do it rather successfully too.
"Now, how long ought it to take for
| a man to learn 600 or 700 or even-1,0O0
words in any language? Certainly it
ought not to take any great length Of
| time, and from my own experience l
! know that it does not. OF course I am
not speaking now Of mastering so that
| one can get the full benefit of all the
refinements Of speech in a particular
tongue.
"But l have in mind the idea of
speaking intelligibly in a given Ian.
guage and being able to understand
perfectly what is said in return. l have
q system which l have worked out, and
it has been of vast benefit to me and
has enabled me to learn a number OF
languages. 1t occurred to me while ]
was in Mexico Il few years ago on I'M
portant business.
II could not speak a word of Spanish
and could not understand the language.
l concluded that | would learn the Ian.
guage. My plan was simply this: !
made up my mind that l would not re
tire at the close of any day as long as
/ was there without learning at least
three words in Spanish, how to pro
nounce them and what they meant.
That would give ME ninety words per
month, or something over 1000 in q
years time."-New Orleans Times.

take and the companies have utilized the strike to bleed the public to the extent of millions of dollars, by rais- ing the price of coal to excessive hg- ures, when in fact there has been no scarcity of coal whatever at the mines. -Hartford Times.
 We have often had occasion to com ment on justices justice as admins tred in the police courts of Boston. The latest exhibition of it was given in East Boston last week, when Judge Emmons imposed the smallest pefmis- sible fine upon Charles Roberts, an English steamboat steward for tear ing down an American flag and ripping it to pieces on the Fourth of July. Seven years ago, on the same national holiday, a man was shot dead by some rutfians, in the same district, and the same judge declined to commit the murderer or murdefers for trial on the ground that they were not residents of the district! To this day the murder of John Wills is unavenged. Judge Emmons appears to be a gentleman of versatile judgment, and a most accom- modating Boston Pilot

The republicans are taking great credit to themselves because of the presidents decision in the case of General Jacob H. Smith whom MT Roosevelt has ordered to be immedt ately retired says a Washington cor respondent. Tn so doing however, they seem to lose sight of the face that had it not been for the publicity given to the facts connected with the Waller massacre and the Smith orders, by the democratic members of the senate, General Smith would never have been courtrnartiafed nor would the attention of the president ever have been called to This conducts an reality, the essaction of the president is q vindication of those den0c1ats whom the republicans have been charging with maligning the army. If the ex- posture of such conduct as that of which General Smith and Major Wall Ter were guilty, constitutes an attack on the army, then the democrats were guilty of such an attack, but if, as the president maintains, their conduct was a disgrace to the army then the democrats who endeavored to secure their removal were the real friends of 1 the army, rather than those republi- cans who attempted, primarily to con
 ceal, and subsequently to defend their acts.

The greatest interest is manifested by labor leaders and others in the pros pective building of q battleship ill the New York navy yard. Despite the op- position of Senator Hanna and other stockholders in the ship building trust the democrats in congress secured provision in the naval appropriation bill that at least one battleship should be built by the government. It has long been claimed by the labor leaders that such a ship could be built at less cost than if constructed by private parties and they will watch with jeal- ous eye the progress of the experiment. Against this claim have been advanced the facts that laborers in the goverr- 1nent yards work two hours less per day and that they receive an annual leave of tWenty-three days with pay, but those who favor government com struction maintain that these facts will be more than offset by the profits made by private contractors. Now that experiment is to beemade, it be- comes the duty of the advocates of the system to closely watch the proceed ings with a view to preventing fraud in the purchase of materials and in the charges made for labor on this par ticular vessel.

ssWe point with pride to the passage by the republican party in 1890 of the law devised by John Sherman to pro-s hibit and punish combinations in re- strait1t of trade, the control of wages or the advancing of prices So says the republican platform of Pennsyi- vania. The republican party can have. no pride in the Sherman act, except IT be such as results from the triumph of deceit instead of truth. The sherman anti-trust bill was made law twelve years ago, and in all that, time there has been under it's evasiye provisions not a single combination punished be- cause of it's restraint of trade. The sherman law is, and from the date of it's passage has been, practically dead letter, and there is convincing evidence of the fact that it was by it's authors meant to be a dead letter The Shef, man law has not bound, and cannot bind. any trust which operates in re- straint of trade, or in the control of wages, or. in the advance of, prices. Not only has the Sherman law failed to re- strain the few trusts which existed at the time of its passage twelve years ago, but during the twelve years it has been on the statute books the most aggressive and sordid trusts have been formed. and are now fourishing with out let or hindrance. The republicans in congress did not mean to interfere with the trusts when they enacted the Sherman law, and they meant when
 they passed the Dingley tariff law to promote and maintain trusts in re- straint of trade, in the control of wages and in the arbitrary advance of prices.

rhE LIGHT ORDINANCE.

The watchword of the Capital City
should be progress. Every encourage
ment should be given industrial enter
prises. Knocking must not be toler-
ated when the material interests Of
the town are affected.
rhe Leader is drawn 20 this obseri
walton Icy the disposition OF some peo-
pie to obstruct the betterment and inn
provement Of the local electric light
plant. A few days since the Leader
contained an article concerning the
new electric light company ana the
granting Of franchise for new and
extended service.
The Leader believes this ordinance
should pass. The ordinance contains
iron-bound provisions for the improve
ment of local light service and the
new company can not gig the city
and it's individual patrons without sub
jecting itself to forfeiture of contract.
A liberal view OF the matter will show
that ten years Is not a long term when
il is known nat under the terms Of
the contract the new company must
expend thousands of dollars in new
machinery and adequate equipment to
enable the furnishing of arc lights at
Sc per arc light
The purpose of the new company
under the contract, is to double the
present capacity OF the local plant. II
proposes to expend no less than $685.
600 in this work This is no small
amount TO turn into the town, and the
making Of these improvements means
the disbursement of big pay rolls.
The Leader believes in encouraging
these industries. Several of the men
in the new light syndicate are non.
resident capitalists and it is their in
tention to continue making local IN
vestments. Inc contract drawn up is
sufficiently stringent to insure goot
service to the city.
Guthrie must be made a commercial
center and unless her public utilities
are up to the standard she can not
stand as an advertising card OF hei
own worth.
The Leader has thoroughly examin
ed the new light contract and conf
dently believes that the council viii
best subserve the interests of the city
and the tax payers by passing the or
dinance al it's next meeting,
