THE MITCHELL CAPITAL.
FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1902.
SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Pres
ent conditions and indications are
favorable to the continuance of good
times. No visible clouds are in the
sky. There are elements in the situa-
tion that distinctly improve the out
look. Crop prospects for 1902 are eX-
cellept throughout the country. The
time for harvesting small grain is
near and a bountiful yield seem
assured. Corn is in fine shape and
if all proceeds well the crop will go
far toward mailing up the corn de-
felt of last year. After June 80 the
government will cease to collect all
wal taxes imposed in 1898, an event
which will relieve the money market,
as well as many prominent lines Of
business, for the taxes must be paid
in cash and tends to pile up money
In the treasury. The government
revenue for the fiscal year will exceed
expenditures by at least $40, 900. 600.
Our foreign commerce since July l
last has not been a record-breaker.
but the trade balance in our favor,
nevertheless. Will be about $500. 900,
600. Exports Of minerals and manu-
factures have been well maintained.
The iron barometer continues at the
highest notch, with more than
enough orders to keep the mills busy
for the next year. Reduction Of the
public debt is steady, railway profits
are undiminished, and the volume of
domestic commerce is enormous.
The Instruction in the Philippines
has almost disappeared. Moreover,
the world at large promises to be un-
usually peaceful during the coming
year. in South Africa serious hos
Utilities are apparently at an end, a
fact reflected in an advance of more
than 2 per cent in British consols
in the last month. Peace with the
Beers will set in motion again the
largest productive gold mines. and
the repair of the ravages OF war will
tend to quicken the tide OF business.
1t has just been stated that within
the last three weeks $40, 600. 900 in
British consols has been bought for
American account, an item showing
confidence in peace prospects as well
as an American surplus for invest
ment. By the end of a year OF two
the Rand mines should be adding
500. 900, 900 to the worlds yearly
output of gold, sending up the ag-
gregate to the highest figures. Here
is a general situation calculated tC
inspire business men with assurances
of prosperity for a period whose enc
is not in sight O. foreshadOwed by
any known circumstance.

A serious proposition confronts the
people of Chicago as a result Of
another phase OF the meat trust. 1t
is not the-trust itself that the people
have 10 deal with there, but the men
who drive the meat wagons to the
wholesale districts. Last week a
strike occurred among the drivers of
meat wagons and a meat famine in
the Windy City is on in earnest.
The drivers are the men who deliver
the meat to all the markets in the
city and to the hotels, but since the
strike ensued they have been able
to prevent any men from taking
their places. Considerable trouble
has ensued from the strike and it
has taken the greatest efforts to
keep the strikers from an outburst
and they have not been entirely sue
ceSSful,

The, Philippine bill. was passed by
the senate Tuesday afternoon and
d thorough discussion of il was had
on the last day. The bill passed the
senate by a vote Of IS to 80. Three
republican senators voted against
the bi]l-Senators Hoar. Of Massa-
chusetts, Mason, of Illinois, and
Wellington, of Maryland. Senator
McLaurin, 4 democrat, of South Car
DINA, voted with the republicans on
the passage of the bill. In the last
debate on the bill a hot colloquy &C.
cured between Senator Culbertson,
of Texas, and Senator B%everidge, Of
Indiana. Culbertson was endeavOr-
ing to get some information before
the senate. which he considered had
been suppressed by the war depart
ment. Beveridge was aggressive in
his efforts to find out where Culbert-
son got his information, it being the
point of Beveridge to ascertain if he
had secured it from the war depart
ment. The Texas senator was driven
to a corner by the Indiana nan by
his pointed heterogeneous, and he
finally admitted that the information
concerning the brutalities came from
Il man who vas in no way connected
with the army, and that neither d.
rectly or indirectly from Gen. Miles.

Some Aged Animals.

In the vicinity of Paris home for
old domestic animals was established
some time ago, and among the present
inmates are mule - years old, COW
36, and a pig % years old.
1t is claimed that domestic animals
which lead an easy life are likely to
live far beyond the average age, IL
properly cared for. Many birds GER
tainly attain an extraordinary age
Eagles, ravens, and parrots frequently
live hundred years, and pelicans prob
ably live as long, for 1t is recorded that
one of these birds was placed in the
Amsterdam geological garden some
time before 1892, and was still there in
1870 This pelican too, was at least
four or five years old when 1t was
placed in the garden.
Eels are also long-lived Prof. Buch-
ner tells of one, which was kept for
twenty-six years in pond at Thiengen,
In which it was placed at the age Of
eight years. 1t attained length of
nearly five feet, and its favorlte haunt
was in the current that flowed into the
pond All authorities agree that do
nestle animals which are obliged to
do a good deal of work do not live SO
long as those which lead placid life.

Mysterious Temple In AMMAN.

The great mystery about Indo- China,
and one which must ever be insoluble,
is the story Of the lost race and the van
ished civilization of that strange coun-
try. The mighty walls of Angko or Wat,
rising In the midst of sparsely populat-
ed jungles remain as the memorial of
great empire which has utterly disap-
peared and is altogether lost to history.
No one will ever know who planned this
gigantic temple, or what tyrant hound
ed ON his myriads of people to build up
those immense blocks of stone and coy
er them with the most elaborate of
sculptures. Angkor-War Is one OF the
most astonishing monuments In the
world, and this forgotten temple was
built so as TO endure as long as the
earth itself We're il not for the irresist-
IDLY destructive effect of plant life on
the strongest walls that man can raise.
Only a highly civilized and very
wealthy people could have erected Ang-
kor Wat-a very great different race TO
the Annamlte of modern days. The
whole nation has disappeared as utter.

lated the wastes and solitudes OF Mem.

identifying the Species.

Lord Justice Mathew of England Is a
man of such mild and kindly exterior,
with such gentle voice and manner,
that almost invariably he gives the i'm
preston of being a simple country gen
tleman rather than an expert and pro-
found lawyer.
This was evidently the idea of pro-
fessional seller of painted birds, who
some years ago met him in the neigh
horhood of the law courts, and exhibit
ing one of his birds, asked him If he
could tell to what species 1t belonged.
The judge stopped, examined the bird
with great care. pretended to admire
the gaudy plumage. examined it again,
and then remarked:
Il do not think | have ever seen n
bird exactly like this, but judging from
the old proverb that Birds of feather
flock together | should say 1t was a
jailbird."

Great Industrial depression continues
In Europe-in England as well as on the
eontinent-and American emigration
officials expect a large influx OF foreign
working people during the next few
years.
United Textile Workers Is the name
of a new organization. 1t is composed
of five national unions In the textile
industry-the loomtixers, mill splnners,
weavers, slasher tenders and textile
workers, which combined.
Rumors continue to circulate that the
Iron and steel workmen are accumu-
lating war fund for the purpose OF
making another onslaught on Morgan's
combine. The fact that the unionists
voted down the proposition to make the
present agreement binding for three
years, and that the agreement runs out
next July, is also significant
At meeting of the penitentiary
board of Texas it was decided to pur-
chase a farm of $4,000 acres and to
erect thereon n sugar mill to cost about
100000. The plantations now owned
by the State comprise about 5000 acres,
and are to be devoted solely to the rails
ing OF sugar cane The convict labor
now employed by contracts on railroads
and In other other capacities Is to be
employed on the plantations and in the
mills.
The women inspectors appointed by
the Ohio State Commissioner of Labor
have been denied admittance to a num-
Der Of factories In the State, and the
commissioner appealed to the attorney
general for an opinion as to the legal
rights of such inspectors. The attorney
general holds that refusal on the part
of the owners or managers of any in
dustrial establishment named In the
statute to permit the Commissioner of
Labor Statistics or any superintendent
of a free employment bureau to enter
the establishment, even during work
ing hours, to gather such statistics, is
an infraction of the law, and that they
may on conviction be fined in sum
from $50 to 500.

IRREGULARITIES OF CAPE COD.

No Tramps, One Man in Poorhouse, a
Pooh Bah Sheriff, Everybody Akin.
She had been spending her summers
In Cape Cod and was expatiating upon
the pecullaritles of that neighborhood.
Il can't imagine" she said, anything
more incongruous than murder trial
on Cape Cod. Barnstable County,
abiding community on earth. It's the
only place | know where the summer
visitor has no need to fear tramps.
"The semi-occasional yagrant who is
rash enough to stray that way is put
at hard labor. During my first summer
there the county Jail had just one in
mate, and he went out every day and
did odd jobs, going back to his cell at
night to sleep.
THE county almshouse was kept
open for the benefit of one man, who
was not really pauper at all, but
stayed there because he could not sup
port himself and didn't care about liy-
ing with his kinsfolk. The deputy sher-
if was sort of Pooh Bah. He was
real estate agent a dealer in coal and
wood and ice, an occasional undertaken.
local agent of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, fence
commissioner and dealer i'll beef and
mutton. He was farmer besides, and
think he owned a cranberry swamp.
"Barnstable has a good library of
about $4,000 volumes, believe, and it
is absolutely free. You may carry as
many books home as you like and you
are not asked to leave deposit.
Nearly everybody in Cape Cod Is kin
many people of the same name it is
hard to tell who's who Hinckley, Nick
ers0n, Croker and Harding are the
names you hear most and see on the
stones of the old grayeyards. One Barn
stable man has made'a directory, If l
may call it so, of the tombstone names
in all the burying grounds of the cape,
and can tell you just what Hinckley's
and Nickersons are in each of them.
"Your real Cape Colder doesn't be-
lieve in being too easy with his names"
continued the speaker, according to the
New York Times. when he has found
good name for village he gets all
the work out of it he can. He doesn't
stop with using Sandwich for Just one
place. He has plain Sandwich and
East Sandwich and West Sandwich
and Sandwich Centre, and If there's
any water near he has Sandwichport,
too.
There's Chatham, for example.
don't know whether there Is Chatham
for every point of the compass, but
there's Chatham proper, Chatham Cen
ter, East Chatham and Chathamport.
It's the same with Harwich and Hyan-
mis- and Yarmouth.
"Barnstable has q natural curiosity
In spring of fresh and very cold
water, which is on the beach, so near
the salt bay that from half tide to flood
and back again it is covered with salt
water. Half mile back from the bay
there lived during my first summer
there twin sisters, widows, more than
80 years old, who had never been
further away from the village than
Boston, to which they went in stage
coaches on their wedding trips"

"Pipe-Osis Chinnitis.

Have you ever noticed" said an up
town physician the other day, the
number of young men who are nursing
sore chins? Some have swellings on
one side only; the majority have them
on both sides. Not one in fifty of those
young fellows knows what is the mat
ter with him. Most of them imagine
that their blood is out Of order, and go
dosing themselves, but the disease still
stays. Do you see this?" And the man
of medicine pulled small bulldog pipe
out of his coat pocket and placed 1t in
his mouth Il put the pipe to the right
side. and note where it rests. The bowl
almost invariably comes in contact
with the skin just at the forward bend
of the chin, and the heat of the lighted
tobacco acts like poultiee and draws
to head whatever impurities may be
in the vicinity, / have treated some
twenty cases, and as soon as the short
style dhudeen was abandoned for the
straight stem variety, the trouble

Poverty and Pride.

1she Woman's Aid Society of this city
has many cases of improyidence on rec
ord, and one of the best of them is the
story of the woman whose husband
was In Jail and whose family had been
supplied with food and clothing by the
society. To the woman herself they
gave $40, thinking she would know the
wants of her destitute family better
than an outsider. A week after the gift
a deputation of members called at the
saualid home to see the results. They
found no betterment in the condition
of the home, so one asked:
"Well, Mrs Nolan, how are you get
ting along:'
Fine" Mrs. Nolan said.
