PENNY POSTAGE.

There is little doubt that deter
mined 6ght will shortly be inaugural
ed in congress in favor of the reduc-
ton on postage on letters to one
cent. The penny postage congress
men insist that the people demand it
and that the reduction can and ought
TO be made
Several sessions ago Congressman
Smith of Illinois introduced bill
which provided for the reduction, but
it was not taken seriously for some
time, and neYer got out of committee
Concerning his proposition, Mr. Smith
now says that the committee on post
offices and post roads are considering
the matter. The time is ripe, he in
sists, for the adoption of penny post
age Mr.. Smith says;
1.-The figures of the postoffice depart
ment will furnish onr best argument.
When L first began the agitation of the
penny postage measure the annual de-
felt in the postoffice service of the gov
eminent was more than $50, 900, 400.
The report of Postmaster General
Smith for the year ending last June
shows a deficit of something less than
"a, 600, 600, and his estimate for the year
ending June, 1903, Is considerably less
Than SO, 000 900 and this in the face of the
fact that the expense of the rural free
delivery has jumped from few hun
dred thousand dollars In 1900 to an es-
timated expenditure of So, 100000 in
1903 The financial experts of the
postofice department figure that after
another year or so the increased re-
ceipts from business in the rural free
delivery system will greatly reduce the
cost of that department.
Mr. Loud, the chairman of the COM
mittee, insists that no reduction should
be made. He argues that the present
2-cent rate does not pay expenses, and
that to cut it in half would create very
large deficit The total deficit under
the proposed new reduction would, he
thinks, run as high as $50, 900, 600 an.
nually These figures, however, are
vigorously disputed by the penny post.
men. Henry G. Payne, the newly ap.
pointed postmaster general, they claim,
is with them and is strongly in favor Of
the reduction. Postmaster General

AMPHIBIOuls
VOLCANO

SAN FRANCISCO, October 25-An
amphibious volcano was unique
phenomenon observed from the deck
of the Pacific Mail steamship San Juan
on her last voyage from Panama to
this port, and duly reported by Cap
tain Urry to the photographic Office.
The volcano is on the coast of Sal
vador, in the gulf of Fonseca, seven
miles south of La Union, in longitude
81 degrees AZ minutes 80 seconds west,
latitude Is degrees Is minutes 80 sec
onds north.
1t is not volcano to compare with
La Soufriere, and it would attract no
attention if it were dry land volcano
or a spouting geyser a la mode. The
popularity of this volcano lies in the
fact that it works with the tides.
When it is covered at high water it
steams and bubbles and splutters;
when the tide is low it emits fire and
smoke and lava. At high water it is
a geyser, at low water it is a volcano.
Captain Urry estimates that the erupt-
i've capacity of the volcano is about Is
feet; the lifting power Of the geyser
at high water is somewhat less.

MAY DEPORT
MONTAL.B A
High Sheriff Considers
Him a Public
Burden.

Collector of Customs Stackable has
in his hands a statement made by High
Sheriff Brown which may result in the
former ordering the deportation of the
legIess Porto Rican, EvangeIista Mon
talba. from Honolulu to Cuba whence
he came to the Hawaiian Islands in the
steamship Sierra on October %. AS
the cripple has no means or way of
supporting himself the High Sheriff
considers him already a charge upon
the public, and under the law, even if
he was convicted and sent to prison
on the maximum sentence of six
months for vagrancy, he would be-
come charge upon the community.
Acting upon this the High Sheriff adj
dressed the following ~letter to Col
lector Stackable under date of octo-
Der 23:
'I beg to cali your attention to the
case of Evangelista Montalba, Porto
Rican boy about nineteen years of age
who arrived, in Honolulu by the steamer
Sierra from San Francisco on October
o. The man has both legs cut off
above the knees, the result of some
accident, so 1 am informed, while he
was working in the iron mines of Cuba.
Ills father was employed on the
Oahu plantation and is now sick in the
hospital at the plantation, unable to
earn enough to support himself and wife
| letting alone the taking care of this
| legless son. The manager of the Oahu
plantation would not allow the son to
remain on the Oahu plantation prem
| Uses; so ne came to Honolulu asking
| assistance and help from anybody and
everybody he met. Sunday night he
was brought in by the police officers
who found him begging in the streets
at night and ever since that time he
has been detained at the police station.
He is utterly unable to earn his own
living and will certainly become a bur-
den and charge upon the people of
this community if allowed to remain
in Honolulu.
Under our statutes it is possible to
send him to jail for a period not ex-
ceeding six months upon the charge of
vagrancy. that is, having no lawful or
visible means of support and being
obliged to beg for a living. 1t seems to
me, however, a hardship that this COM
munity and this government should be
put to the expense of thus caring for
this man who must ever beg and bur-
den charity or be supported by the gov
eminent as a vagrant, and I trust you
| may be able to suggest some means by
which he may be deported to whence
| he came. Enclosed please find letters
which he has received passing him over
railroads and steamship lines to this
port
Montalba may be sent to the coast
| in the Alameda.

GREAT AMERICAN 'QUAKES.
TIVE Besides That Mt Charleston, 8, G
One of Them Swallowed
River.

Besides the Charleston earthquake
of 1856, in which Al lives were lost
and about 100000 worth of prop
erty was destroyed, there have been
two other notable earthquakes in the
United States within historic times
one near the head of the Mississippi
delta in 1S11-12, and one in the lnyo
valley, california, in 1872.
The former, known as the New Mad
rid earthquake, was remarkable for
the length of time which its phenom-
ena covered. There were several
shocks at short intervals for several
months, and the whole series Of shocks
lasted two years.
The country was sparsely settled,
and no scientific records Of the dis
turbance were made, but 1t is related
that the aluvial land Of the river bot
toms was traversed by visible waves
which rocked the trees to and fro and
unrooted many. Huge assures were
opened, and lakes were drained by the
escape Of their waters into them The
largest sunken area is said TO have
been go or so miles long and nearly half
as broad.
The Inyo valley earthquake was
caused by renewed movement along
the great fault plain at the eastern
base Of the Sierra Nevada. The chief
shock lasted only few minutes, but
others Of less violence continued for
two or three months.
A tremendous assure was formed
along the base Of the mountain range
for about 40 miles The land west OF
the assure rose, and the land east Of
II fell several feet.
Owens river was temporarily swal-
lowed up. In the village Of Inyo all
the houses were thrown down, and
one-tenth of the inhabitants were
killed

GATHERING OF GINSENG.
A Peculiar Product OF Illinois and
Indiana That Goes Mostly
Abroad

The ginseng crop, which Is found in
the rural districts along the Ohio river
in Illinois, but principally in the state
of Indiana, will soon be ripe, and al
ready Sang" diggers are getting ready
to harvest the crop, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat of recent date. Gin
seng is one of the most peculiar crops
of this country, having no local con-
sumption, and going far from home be-
fore it finds use.
Local agents buy the output and ship
1t to agents at San Francisco, who ship
the root to China, where it has a wide
use, being put to variety of purposes.
The larger roots are carved into idols
and carried to keep off the evil spir-
its which constantly hover over the
Chinese; by many it is used as a medi-
clue, which will cure any OF the ills
flesh Is heir to, and others use 1t as
seasoning and favor for foods.
In olden times the virgin forests Of
Illinois and Indiana overlooked with
the root, and an experienced digger
could make good wages. 1t Is now diff
ficult to find and II takes an eagle eve
to discover the peculiarly formed
leaves that indicate its presence In

DEMAND FOR WOMEN'S HAIR.
Agents ScOur the Countries of the
Old World to Buy Tresses
for the Elite,

Never has the demand for women's
hair in Europe been greater than it is
now, and men are going from town to
town in France Germany, Switzerland
and Russia buying all they can get, 1t
has been said that one enterprising
dealer has sent some agents to China
for this purpose, says London paper.
The finest hair in France is furnished
by Brittany, for the Breton women
have very luxuriant tresses, which
never fail to fetch high price in Lon
don. Most of these women are poor,
and are quite willing to sacrifice their
hair, especially as they wear bonnets
which completely cover their heads,
ana thus effectually hide them when
shorn.
France furnishes more brown and
black hair than any other country, and
fair and golden hair is furnished, as
rule, by the women of Germany and
the north of Europe. Gray and white
hair is always in demand, and if of
good quality, fetehes high price.
A French woman's hair weighs gen
orally five ounces and a half, an Ital-
ian woman's six ounces, and German
woman's nine ounces. Itrequires much
tact to persuade some women to part
with their hair, and it is therefore no
wonder thata man who possesses this
tact and who is a good judge of hair,
can readily command a salary of from
$4,000 TO $4,000.
