said Mr. W. Y. Carson. of Chicago, at the
Raleigh.
Il will make a small bet that these
young American naval officers were re-
sisting piece of gross imposition when
they were arrested. What happened TO
me was that a waiter in fashionable
restaurant brought in bill for nearly
double what | owed. He had. acting un-
der orders. no doubt, tackled on half a
dozen items of food for which l had not
called.
Il at first supposed a mistake had been
made but was informed l had to pay as
per the bill rendered or a policeman would
be called. Sure enough when I per-
sisted in refusal to pay, an officer OF
the law did come. and the upshot Of it
was l paid the bill rather than accom-
pany him to the chiefs office. Ever
since l have longed TO get even with
those dagoes. They are a tricky. un-

English Flour Mills Modern.

Mr.. J. Rank, who is extensively en-
gagged in the manufacture of -four in Hull.
England is a guest at the Arlington.
Very recently" said he, ''the English
government has put an import tax on
-four and wheat-threepence on the hum
dredweight on wheat and flvepence on
flour. 1t was specifically declared that
the duty was imposed for revenue and
not for protection. because the English
nation is still welded to the doctrine Of
free trade. The tax is a very ligh: one
and will produce. at most. a very insig
nifcant increase in the price Of bread.
II have Just returned from a trip to
your great Northwest, where I went spe-
cially TO see the mammoth -four mills.
This line OF manufacturing is one OF the
few in which you have little or no ad-
vantage of US in England. Our mills are
quite as cleyerly run and as modern In
their equipment as any in Minnesota. In
Kansas City ! found the Inillers very de-
spondent, because they are operating
without any profit. One of the wealtfIiest
of them told me the reason was that they
had been catering exclusively for the ex-
port trade, and that not a dollar could
be made out of it. He proposed hereaf-
ter to try to cultivate the home market.

COMMENCES DUTIES
AMONG POOR AND SICK
Bishop Mackay Smith Confirms Patients
at the Hospital for Con-
sumptives.

PHILADELPHIA, May 3--The Rev.
DR.. Mackay-Smith. Thursday consecrated
bishop coadjutor OF the Episcopal Dlo-
rese of Pennsylvania. Dcrformed tie first
duties of his new Office yesterday morn
ing when he confirmed some patients at
tic Hospital for consunptivcs at Chest
nut Hill.
IL was the new bishops desire to com
mcnce his duties among the poor and
sick.
The services attending the confirmation
OF the unfortunate patients were impress
siye. The Rev. J. Andrew Harris. ID. d.,
rector OF ST. Paul's Church, read the pre-
cept Bishop Mackay-smith then preached
a sermon before confirming.

Boston's New Homes for the Sick.

Boston will shortly have two magnifi-
cent new hospitals said Mr.. A. r. Nor
ris. OF that city. at the Ebbitt.
Both institutions came to our people
by the generosity of two men, Peter B.
and Robert B. Brigham. uncle and
nephew. The Peter Brigham bequest has
been accumulating for the past twenty
five years. and now amounts to over
SS.000.0O0. The hospital, according to the
will OF the donor. is for all sick people
in needy circumstances who live in Suf-
folk County. Peter Brigham was an own
er Of hotels and concert halls. and he
started his nephew in the same line of
business.
The nephew came to be a millionaire
also. and later in life he and his rich
relative ceased to be friends. This Is said
to be the reason why Robert Brigham de-
cided to perpetuate his name by giving
his money for the same purpose. The
hospital erected with his money is for
the benefit Of incurables. and it Will have
fully as much financial strength as the
other"

STATE FUNERALS UNUSUAL.
Few Congressmen to Whom the Honor
Has Been Paid by the House.

The state funeral in the Hall Of Repre-
sentatives is a mark Of respect which has
been paid to but few deceased members in
recent years. The funeral Of the late Rep
resentative Kelley. who had been the
Father Of the House. was held there. as
was also the services over the remains of
the late Representative Dingley OF Maine.

not been bestowed in recent years.

SYMPATHY IN CONGRESS.
Late Representative Universally Beloved
by His Colleagues in the House.

The death of no member OF Congress
would have caused more regret and sor-
row than that OF the late Representative
Amos ]. Cummings OF New York. He was
a universal favorite in the Capitol, n
stanch partisan. who carried into the
private relations of life the amenities Of
a generous nature.
His intimate associates we're on both
sides of the chamber in which for nearly
fifteen years he was an important and
interesting figure.
There was feeling of deep grief among
the members of tee House yesterday. for
without exception. all felt that they had
lost a personal friend.
In his syndicate letters about the men,
bers he never indnlsed in the criticism
that wounds. but rather. indeed always.
wrote that which complimented and
pleased.
The members. after the adjournment
OF the House. gathered in knots of four
and five and In subdued tones spoke of
the many kind traits of character OF the
deceased statesman which came within
their personal knowledge. Everyone had
some story to relate of some deed of
kindness of which the public never knew.

hand to jerk with. but was unsuccessful.
BY that time Mrs. Banker says her entire
left side began to grow numb. and she
threw herself backward with all her force.
The sudden jerk released her hand from
the ;ncandescent light fixture and broke
the current. Mrs Banker threw herself
with such force that she fell against the
door two feet behind her, cracking one of
the panels.
The effect OF the current going through
the woman's body almost completely un-
nerved her. and for several hours she re-
quired constant attention. When she
jerked her hand from the light fixture
large piece OF flesh from the inside of the
little finger was torn away. The other
fingers and palm of the hand were badly
burned. the flesh looking as though it had
been cooked with carbOlic acid.-Denver

visit to the United States is to note the
way your mechanics and wage earners of

proceed with their-tasks. l was struck
with this In New Orleans, where l went
TO lock at a plant where barrels were
made. There was a force of seventy-fi five
workmen. and they turned out, I was
told. 5000 barrels a day. Nothing like
this extraordinary activity Is ever seen in

The Passing of the Sail.

''The day Of providing big steamships
with sails and masts. so that they may
be navigated in case Of accident to their

Of Bath. Me-, at the Riggs House.
Originally these auxiliaries to steam
were provided. but they have been done
away with for the most practical reason
they didn't pay. The carriage of sails
means the hiring Of larger crew. which
increased operating expenses. Increase Of
weight. too. was a result which reduced
carrying capacity. The extra resistance
thus created in case OF head winds had to
be considered. 1t is true that thus dou-
bly, equipped, vessel with use
less engines could make port herself, but
owners prefer to run the risk of accident.

be under the additional expense incurred

Il find that Democrats. generally, from

more hopeful of party prospects than
they have for long time. This feeling
is strong in New, York. where business
keeps me a great part of my time. There
is not much talk of candidates nor of

Tyranny of Coal Barons.

''If the Government is going to take a
hand in this trust business. 1t might
find il profitable to make an examina-
tion into the workings of the combina-
tion that controls the price Of anthra-
cite COAL" said Mr.. r. T. Hubbard, Of
Philadelphia, at the Shoreham.
People can in a way beat the beef
combine by not buying their product. but
coal cannot be well superseded. The
public must have it. no matter how tight
ly the screws are put on by the coal
barons. 1t is generally believed they
have an agreement to limit production SO
as to keep up prices, and as far as local
dealers are concerned. there ii no COM
petition. for they all charge precisely
the same for the different grades OF coal.
Despite the improvements in trans

Has Suffered Unjustly.

The idea has been advanced by one of
the enthusiastic authorities on the cul-
ture CT farm animals that the hog has suf
fered unjustly under the imputation of
being naturally the dirtiest and most de-
graded of animals. In discussing the plans
Of the department. he said:
Il have never yet been thoroughly sat
isfed that IL the hog were given a fair
chance IL would not be as clean as any
other domestic animal. Take. for in
stance. its well-known proclivity for wal
lowing in the mud. Now l have never
been convinced that it does this simply
because ii is mud. nor simply because it
enjoys the dirt. II Is because the mud is
cool and soft, and II there was something
else equally cool and soft which pos
sessed the additional qualification OF
cleanliness, the hog would. without doubt,

The Agricultural Department, 1t is

which they hope may result in the eradi-
cation of many of the objections advanced
by scientists to pork as a food. 1t is on
account of the filthy habits of the ordi-
nary hog. it is stated. that this domestic
animal is more prone to contract infec-
tious and contagious diseases than any
other.
If the hog were as clean in his customs
as the sheep, for instance. the scientists
believe that the flesh would be sweeter
and purer, and that there would be less
