The Louisville Courier journal
Dem) says: "A poor girl in Philadel-
phia has been sentenced to Jail for six
months because she fraudulently OBJ
tanned possession of a dozen photo
graphs of herself. Philadelphia is the
place where they send men to Congress
who frauduently obtain possession of
entire Streets
The Nashville (Tenn.) American
Oem.) says: The Philippine question
should afford the Democrats some ex-
cellent ammunition, if used with dis
erection and judgment. But the party
should be careful that it does not get
hold of material that is liable to eX-
plode in it's hands Now is the time to
freely discuss the question. After the
battle lines are drawn it will be too
late"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: 1T isn't pleasant to learn that
Uncle Sam still exports rum to the
African heather. This was the trade
that laid the foundation of wealth for
the solid men of Boston, but all that
was a long time ago. They used to
placate the black man in those days
with a jug of Medford rum in one
hand, and a gun in the other And
came down handsomely with his ivory
and his precious woods, and great was
the gain therefrom."
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Senator Lodge admits that Special
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid, who is
willing TO pay his own expenses, will
have no official character at the coro-
nation. Then why should the Presi-
dent undertake to give him an official
character? What business is il of the
government of the United States who
goes from this country to any coro-
nation in an unofficial character? The
only honest course for the adminlstra-
ton to pursue is to hand over the
coronation fummery to Ambassador
Choate and otherwise 10 wash its
hands OF the whole business. Neither
this year nor any other year should
this democracy be represented by a
special embassy at any coronation"

This is a recently expressed opinion
of Congressman Littlefield of Maine
"If it were not for the newspapers the
jobs which would go through Congress
are terrible to contemplate. If there
were no newspapers at all 1 don't
believe L would be willing to trust my
self alone in the House of Represen-
tatives for fifteen minutes"
Senator Hanna daily receives a
large number of requests for the au-
tograph of the late President McKin-
ley. Secretary Cortelyou is also over
whelmed with the same kind of april
cations. Although both Senator Han
ma and Mr.. Cortelyou were very close
to the president, neither possessed at
the time of the latter's death many
autographs and these few have now
been given away.
Senator Spooner. of Wisconsin, is
believed to be worth about $3.50, 900 and
it is understood that he does not want
any more, though, being an able cor
poration lawyer, he could easily make
a handsome income and leave his pres
ent capital to accumulate. The senator
says that if he should pile up a fortune
for his sons, who are steady, indus
trious, ambitious young men, they
it, so he prefers things as they are.
AT the General Theological Semi
nary Alumni dinner in this city on
Monday evening, says the New York
Tribune, the Rev. DR.. Van De Water
told an amusing story about the last
Pan-American conference of Bishops
in England, which he attended as a
chaplain. There was a certain meet
ing at which the title of each bishop
was loudly announced as he, entered
by functionary at the door, who was
quite unfamiliar with many of them.
He got along pretty we'll, however, I'M
til three Americans and one colonial
bishop came along, whose cards he
read as follows: THE Lord Bishop of
Ee-o-wah Oowa), the Lord Bishop of
O-hee-o (Ohio), the Lord Bishop of
Misery (MissourD, the Lord Bishop of
British Gehenna, (Guiana)."

Eyes," said the eminent professor at
a social gathering, addressing his re-
marks to a small man to whom he had
been introduced. "I fiatter myself that

the Chirago News.
Yes. Now, there is a lady" con-
tinued the professor, pointing to a 200
pound specimen of the fair sex, "the
lines of whose countenance are as clear
as print to me. The chin shows firm
ness of disposition, amounting to OBJ
stinacy; the pointed nose, a vicious
temperament; the capacious mouth,
volubility; the square chin denotes
trouble for those who oppose her
wishes; the eyes show a hardness of
heart"
Wonderful, truly wonderful, pro-
fessor," interrupted the small man.
You evidently know something of
the lady, them" said the professor.
Sure" replied the small man; "she
is my wife"

Sam was a six-months probationer in
the Zion NJ. E. congregation of his
neighborhood in rural Tennessee, says
the Philadelphia Times. When he
came up before the authorities of the
church for examination as to his fitness
for admission to all the rights and priv
ileges of the church, he looked rather
hopeless, although there seemed to be
a general disposition to forget his
poultry thieving past; and his wife,
too looked none too certain of Sans
fitness. He was asked:

"Ye'sar."

Many stories are told of the conspicu-

full of years and honors, says London
Truth.
In the Sikh war Chamberlain, who
then held the rank of colonel, called
for volunteers to assist him in blowing
up bastion. Three or four responded,
and the colonel led the little party close
up to the point where the mine was
to be fired. AS soon as the explosives
were in place and the fuse lighted, the
volunteers started to run, in order to
get out of the way of the explosion, no
less than to effect as speedily as posi-

AID FOR THE VOLCANO SUFFER-
ERS

The United States auxiliary cruiser
Dixie is on her way to Fort de France,
Martinique, and will arrive there, in all
probability next Tuesday. She carries
a large amount of provisions and medi-
cal supplies, besides number of sur
geons. The United States acted more
promptly than any other nation in aid
ing the suffering people of Martinique
and St. Vincent with the exception of
France. Martinique is, of course, a
French colony, but the amount appro-
priated by the United States was twice
French government. The President ad-
vised that $500, 900 be appropriated, and
the Senate acted in accordance with
his advice. The House, however, felt
that it would be advisable to spend the
$4,000 first appropriated before max
ing an additional appropriation. There
is no doubt, however that if there is
need for the additional $500, 900 it will be
forthcoming.
The American people are never slow
in giving aid to those who are the VIC
TINS of famines, floods, volcanic erup-
tons, earthquakes, epidemics and other
calamities. They are now contributing
to funds for the starving people of St
Vincent and Martinique, and it is not
improbable that an amount equal to
that given by the government will be
raised. They are ready and willing to
give from their abundance to those
who are overwhelmed by great misfor-
tunes.

Senator Mason of Illinois wishes to
reopen the whole case of the destruc-
ton of the battleship Maine. He has
introduced a bill to appropriate $780,,
coo for the raising of the wreck of that
ship 80 that the country may feel
satisfied with the finding as to how
the Maine was blown up" Mason's
bill provides for a commission to SUI
perintend the raising of the wreck, and
appropriates $4,000 for the commission.
1t may be remarked that the country
has not lately been exhibiting any
signs of anxiety respecting how the
ship was destroyed. 1t knows that she
was blown up, and it has had one or
two official reports respecting the mat
ter. 1t knows, further, that the Incl
dent precipitated war, the outcome
Of which was satisfactory to the coun-
try To reopen the matter would be
to court a renewal of strained rela-
tons with Spain, without the posi-
bility of any compensating advantage
accruing to us. If the wreck of the
Maine is a menace to navigation in the
harbor of Havana, it ought to be re-
moved if it is not, it ought to be al
lowed to remain where it is and grad
ually loose itself in the mud. Mean
while there is a strong probability
that Senator Mason's bill was intro
duced for the sole purpose of adver-
Using Mason and providing ga soft
berth for certain Republicans as com
msioners."

Roland B. .Molineux, who is under
condemnation for murder by poisoning
in New York, is not to have his second
trial until next fall. He has already
been in jail nearly two years. Thus
speedily does justice move in New
York. Meanwhile Molineux has not
been altogether idle. 1t is said that
he has spent his time in literary work,
and among other things has turned out
several plays, two of which are to be
staged in New York city during the
next theatrical season.

Wagner Day. at the Charleston
Exposition (May 22) should be one of
the best of all the special days OBJ
served at the great fair. 1t is to be in
honor of Gen. F. w. Wagner. the
president of the exposition company,
the man who has probably done more
than any other individual to make the
exposition a success and a credit TO
the city and the section. That his la
bors have produced fine fruit will be
enthusiastically affirmed by every one
who has seen or may hereafter see the
beautiful Ivory City" on the bank
of the Ashley river. From the incep
ton of the enterprise Gen. Wagner
has devoted his time, his talents and
his purse to it's prosecution. No la
Dor has been too arduous for him 20
undertake and no sacrifice too great
for him to make, for the good of the
exposition, of Charleston and of the
Southeast; for the whole Southeast will
be greatly benefited by this great show
which Charleston has built. There
should be such an outpouring of peo-
pie at the exposition on Wagner
Day" as to leave no doubt in the mind
of the public spirited Gen. Wagner
that his labors are highly appreciated.
1t would no doubt be gratifying to him
to have the German-born element of
the citizenship of the two Carolinas and
Georgia largely represented, since he
is of their blood; but every national
ity and race should join in doing him
honor.

The announcement is made that
Charles NJ. Schwab, the president of
the billion-dollar steel trust, has bought
Richmond Beach, Staten Island, whish
ne proposes to turn into a pleasure re-
sort for the workingmen of the trust.
1t is said he has in mind a scheme for
giving the employees of the trust two
weeks vacation each summer with
free transportation and accommoda-
tions at the resort. No doubt the
steel workers would appreciate a little
more money in their pay envelopes and
a little less paternalism and charity
on the part of the corporation.

Some of the northern newspapers are
enthusiastic in their praise of the
strawberries that the South is sending
to market this season. The berries are
said to be delicious in flavor, and to
arrive in fine condition. Consumers
cannot get enough of them, and sales
are brisk. The shippers of strawber-
ries and fruits from the South are
learning how to pack and market their
products to the best advantage. The
possibilities of the South as a fruit Sec
tion have as yet been hardly more than
touched upon. The market for early
fruits can hardly be overstocked. and
growers in this section have peculiar
advantages for supplying it.

Before the death of Potter Palmer of
Chicago it was estimated that he was
worth anywhere from s15 900 to $685.
900, 900, and some guessers placed his
fortune at figure even larger. His
will was filed in the Probate Court the
other day, when it became known that
the estate was worth at the outside only
about ssOoOOOO. This sudden shrink
age of a reputed great fortune, how
ever, is nothing uncommon. Similar
phenomena have been noted in the
cases Of about all the multi-million-
aires who have died in the past several
years. One million dollars is such
great sum OF money that when a man
has accumulated that much nobody
questions the statement when It is as
serted that he is worth $4,000. 900.

"A Child of the City once upon a
time was sent into the country by
well-intentional persons, but she did
not appreciate rural delights, and soon
returned to her native element of brick
and tagging, says the New York Post.
Being questioned one day concerning
her discomfort while in the country, she
cried out: why. they don't even get
their milk out of nice, clean cans; they
squeeze it out of an old cow" They
may still have to squeeze it out of an
old cow" but the manner of the
squeezing is presently to be more in
keeping with urban ideas of progress.
Or, perhaps it is. Men have long been
al work on schemes for milking COWS
by process instead of by hand, but
their efforts have not hitherto been
crowned with any great measure of
success. A man in Oskaloosa, Ia, has
now, however, devised something which
is expected to fill the bill A flexible
tube is connected at one end with the
can by means of four teat cups A
person with an operating suction pump

is COW who has a calm and
placid expression on her face
This leads one to believe that
the inventor consulted the cow before
he put forward his invention. If he
did, II may be that no further news
of a sensational character will come
from Oskaloosa, la. But If the picture
is misleading, and the COW is yet to
be heard from, II would seem unwise
to pass judgment on the invention in
the meantime,

mate is not so rigorous nor its soil SO
sterile as they had imagined, just as
the popular misconception of Siberia
as one vast frozen waste has been
shown to be erroneous. While the min
eral treasures of the Yukon and its
tributaries revived interest in the
Alaskan boundary line and prompted
Canada to jealous and unwarranted
aggression. it also set on foot a move
ment for the final and irrevocable de-
termination of the boundary. This So
luton, although it is being slowly ap-
preached, is, nevertheless, inevitable,
and its accomplishment will serve to
put at rest conflicting claims and al
lay friction. Whether Americans who
settle in Canada will abandon their al
legiance to the United States is a mat
ter for conjecture. 1t is almost with
out precedent, so far as our citizens are
concerned. They are tenacious of
their freedom under the flag eff the re-
public.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks. .sb

New York. June 5.-There was more
trading in stocks, today, than on any
other day this week. The increased ac-
tivity was a result of additional pressure
to sell. This selling was quite evenly
distributed amongst the usually promi-
nent stocks, and while not urgent, 1t was
persistent and gained in volume towards
the latter part of the day. Probably the
most effe ctive single factor in the weak
ness OF the market was a general feeling
of anxiety over the developments in the
labor world. The reports of continued
heavy orders for all grades of iron prod
ucts for delivery far into the future did
not avail to relieve the hcaviness of the
United States Steel stocks and other iron
and steel stocks. The selling of the
Changers seemed to be due to some extent
to reports of too abundant rains in the
Southwest and and also to the falling
back in the figures of receipts of corn.
The large profit taking in Canadian Pa
cific at total reaction of 4 points had IL
sympathetic effect on the whole list.
Copper was depressed by
the weakness of the raw copper market
and was not helped by a trade circular
pointing out great Improvement in the
trade. The combined effect of various
items of depression was dribble of r. al
izing all day. which carried prices DOWN
wards until the close, which was easy at
the lowest. Active liquida ton of the Cen
:ral of Georgia income bonds had de
pressing effect on the bond market To-
tai sales, par value, $2,970.W0. United
States bonds were unchanged on the last

Americans in Canada.

Somebody up in Canada has become
frightened at the large number of
Americans who. according to the Do
minons latest census, have moved
ovcr tbc border. The United States is
troubled with the immigration problem
but has never yet had occasion TO
worry over an immigration problem,
and it Is not likely that the going of
a relatively few Americans over the
Canadian border will cause the slight
est alarm on this side of the line. But
some Canadian editors have an idea
that it may result in an American
off the English yoke and to anncXa-
ton with this country. OF course this
is all moonshine, but sometimes it
doesn't take even his own shadow to
brighten the wits out of a Canadian
editor or statesman, particularly in
matters relating to the United States.
The 1901 census showed Canada to
have Il population of 5,371.O51 of whom
1881 were born in the United States.
This is a surprisingly large number,
for we have become accustomed to
thinking of streams of people pouring
into this country from Canada, and
from all parts of the world, and not of
people as going from the United
States to find homes elsewhere. Still
out of 5.311.051 people an American
born group numbering only 1881 is
not likely to be a dangerous factor
toward upsetting English supremacy in
Canada. even in the improbable con-
tingency of its having any inclinations
that way. OF the residents of Canada
who are not natives of it, those born in
gland alone surpass those born in
country. Not so many years ago
