AMERICAN HAWTHORNS.
Surprises In the Field of Botany That
Have Come In the Last
Few Years.

The explorations of botanists have
developed, during the past few years,
certain facts concerning the Amer
lean hawthorns which constitute one
of the surprises in the field of bot
any, says the Boston Transcript. To
the merely lay mind the mention Of
the hawthorn commonly suggests
only an attractive ornamental tree
of English, or at least of European
origin; the idea that there are spe-
cies Indigenous to our own soil prov
ing generally an interesting but quite
novel bit of information. And it
may be added that although stu
dents of the North American sylvia
have always been well aware of Il
number of fine native species, they
too, it seems, until very recent years,
had but faint comprehension of the
somewhat astonishing facts.
So far as is now known, the prin-
cipal home of the hawthorn is North
America. England has but a single
species, Crataegus oXyacantha, which
with u few others of continental
Europe have, in the hands of garden
ers and hybridizers, been so greatly
differentiated that their various ori-
gins have become n perpleXed ques-
tion. Japan, too, for wonder, has
only one species, and but two or
three are yet known as indigenous
to China, though this great field may
yield others to more exact research
American forests, however, abound
in them. They are distributed from
Newfoundland to the Pacific, and
southwark to Texas.

TROPICS ARE AT OUR DOOR.
Americans Are Large Consumers of
the Products of warmer Climes
and Have Them Handy.

Americans live better, perhaps, than
the people of any other part of the
world. They are not content with the
products of their own country, but
draw largely upon the tropics for con-
diments and delicacies that add to the
pleasures of the table. The increase
i'm the contributions Of the tropics
to the daily life of man has been gen
eral throughout the countries where
prosperity or an activity in manufac-
turing and commerce Is the rule, but
IL seems to be especially marked in the
United States, which now imports
more than $1,000, 600 worth of tropical
and subtropical foodstuffs and raw
materials every day in the year. The
increased reliance upon the tropics is
probably greater, proportionately
i'm the United States than in most othe r
countries, since much larger share
of our sugar is drawn from the trOp-
les than is the case with other, and es-
pecially the European countries, which
in most eases now produce their own
sugar from beets.
The United States has during re-
cent years consumed nearly one-half
Of the cane sugar of the world which
enters into international commerce,
and more than one-half Of the coffee
Of the world. In the year just ended
the importatons Of goods usually con-
sidered as of tropical or subtropical
production amounted to $lO0, 100000,
or considerably more than $l,000,000
for every day in the year including
Sundays and holidays, while 30 years
ago they amounted TO but Sl43 1000 600,
or less than 100000 per day.

cHINAMAN AND THE PEN.

A certain newspaper man who was

got it out of order by reckless treat
ment and took it to a penshop for re-
pair. The man there soon showed him
that there was nothing serious the
matter with it, the only trouble being
that he had neglected to do some little
thing in using It. Then he began to
take the pen apart for the newspa
perman's instruction, so that he might
see how very simple thing it is, re-

The Same Old Whine.

After condemning everything the
Republican party has done in nation
al and state affairs, the Democratic
party of Allen county, at its Hum
boldt convention, included this para
graph in its resolutions:
"And we especially condemn the
methods employed by the Republican
officials of Allen county in the partial
unfair and unjust levying OF taxes
whereby the corporation andwealth are
permitted TO escape taxation and the
burdens of the same are fastened upon
the poor, and we also condemn their
extravagant expenditures of the taxes
collected from the people"
Isn't that the old Democratic idea
the indefinite appeal to prejudice
The factories here ought 70 be taxed
to the limit, although other towns do
not do so. 1t would help lola to get
more factories and grow, The para.
graph insinuates that the wealthy res
idents of the county are favored, but
The Democrats DO not point out any
specific cases. And the county Off
cials are "extravagant." How?
When? Where?
Nine out of the ten paragraphs of
the resolutions groan with the burden
of taxes, yet the county records do
not indicate that two OF the members
of the committee on resolutions pay
one cent of taxes in their own names.
Surely this burden should be lifted
from them. 1t is the same old story
of condemning whatever happens
while the Republicans are in power.
1t is the last resort of party that
hasn't an idea of its own, but must
have an issue.

PLAGUE SHIP IN PORT
Hiram Wood Off Coast of Maine with
Yellow Fever on Board.

Bangor, Me-, Aug, 5.-After three
days Of aimless drifting in the fog the
British bark, Hiram Wood, Captain
Swatridge, from Rio de Janeiro, June
10, for st. John, New Brunswick, in
ballast, has arrived in Little Machias
bay, on the eastern Main lcoast, and
anchored close to Old Man Ledge, of
the Cutler shore. Signals of distress
were dying and a boat from the shore
learned that the vessel had yellow
fever on board and that three of her
crew, including the second mate, had
died. Two of the dead were buried in
the bay after the boat came to anchor.
Captain Swatridge and the cabin boy
are both sick with the fever, but they
are expected to recover. No other
cases have developed. The bark will
be held in quarantine and will be fumi-
gated, after which she will be towed to
st. John.

WORK OF BANDITS
They Hold up burlington Train at
Marsus, Iowa

Chicago, Aug. G.-The dead body Of
one of the train robbers who held up
the Burlington train at Marcus, Iowa
was found TODAY near the scene of the
robbery. Pursuers are believed to be
close on the heels Of the bandits. The
dead man is unidentified. He is
roughly dressed. 1t is believed that
he was killed by Express Messenger
Byle, VINO fired four shots at the six
robbers as they rode away after dyna-
hitting the car. The bandits stopped
the train by torpedoes and waving
a white lantern, which was also found
today.It bears imprint of the southern
railway. After uncoupling the eX-
press car the bandits forced the en-
gineer to ride up the track TO u place
where the robbers horses stood. The
express car and safes were then dyna-
mited. Byle estimates that the robbers
got twenty thousand dollars consist
sisting of six packages of jewelry,
and hundred and fifteen pounds Of

NOTHING DOING
Stock Yards officials Say No Negotia-
tions Are Pending.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug, G.-While
the employees of the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company deny most emphat-
ically any knowledge of the rumored
packing house merger and the report
from Chicago that the meat trust pro-
poses forcing the two remaining indie
pendent stock yards in the country to
sell out to the trust at a low figure,
there is i'll disguised uneasines at the
local yards and the air is full of spec
ulations as to what would be done by
the owners Of the yards should the
matter come to a direct issue.
Just what theIpolicy of the Kansas
City Stock Yards Company will be
should theS packing house trust turn
the screws on the company and try to
force it to relinquish its profitable
share in the handling of cattle is not
to be known until the warfare actually
begins.
G. L. Morse, president of the Kan
sas City Stock Yards Company, is
now ina the East on business and it is
probable that he is at the present
time in consultation with the Boston
stockholders. Eugene Rust, general
manager, says he has no Official in
formation and is unwilling TO talk for
publication.
In answer to an inquiry, Charles
Francis Adams said in Boston yester-
day that the stock yards company in
Kansas City would at all times be
alive to its interests, and resent un-
due encroachments, that the company
had paid money to many packers to
induce them to locate in Kansas City,
and the company would not care to be
devoured by those it had befriended.
He intimated that it might be possible
for the yards company to be merged
into the packing combine with due re-
gard to values, but denied that nego-
tiations along that line had been
started.

TRACEY SUICIDED
The Desperate was Finally Cornered
Wednesday,

by Scrippa- McHae Press Association.
Spokane, Aug. 6.-.Harry Tracey,
the most desperate ,outlaw since the
days of Jesse James, fought his la st
battle today. He shot himself through
the head and dropped dead at the feet
of his pursuers who had wounded
him twice, and had cut of every ave-
nue. of escape.
The posse which was pursuing the
desperado sent word that the outlaw
was surrounded in swamp near the
Eddy farm, eleven miles southeast,
and asked for reinforcements. Be-
fore the departure of the messenger o
long range rifle duel had been main
tanned for some time. Twenty-Five
armed men left from here and men
left from other points to assist Sheriff
Gardner. Tracey appeared at Eddy's
farm Sunday night and held posses
sion of it all Monday.
Sherilrs Cudihee, Default and
Daust, each with ten men armed with
rlnes ana reVolVerS, surrounded the
swamp but we're unable to approach
the eX-convict as he held the point of
vantage. Two bullets from the posse
of men hit Tracey in the knee and
thigh. Tracey coolly replied to the
fussilade, the bullets falling around
him like hail. When his strength left
him the posse crept up. Tracey see
ing the end had come pointed one of
the heavy pistols at his own head and
fell lifeless.
The convict escaped from the Ore
gon penitentiary ut Salem on June 9
with Dave Merrill. Since then he has
