to cut it. There are no outward signs
by which one can Judge. The late
George NJ. Pullman many years ago
was offered q mahogany log for $1,000,
to be cut into veneers. It was sup.
posed to be very fine piece of wood,
but this could only be determined by
cutting it. He declined the offer, but
agreed to take the log cut into veneers
for what it was worth. The owner
had it sawed and was paid $1,000 for
his veneers. Any one who can discov-
or the secret of determining the inter-
ior nature of wood from the outside
will have a fortune.

The Philippines . Hard Country.

General Miles, who is in the Philip.
pines, made public an interesting
statement on November "a. In this
statement General Miles said: "I
have seen 1900 of our troops and will
inspect more before leaving. I found
them to be in fair condition. This is
. hard country for campaigning. /
inspected the principal natural de-
ienses of the islands and some OF the
harbors which the government may
fortify. I found the people generally
impoverished from the effect of the
war and the pestilence which followed
it, and l fear some may suffer from
famine. The dearth OF farm animals
leaves the people no means Of recov.
erv."

Let Democrats show by their actions
that they appreciate the answering
loyalty and tireless energy of the
Democratic newspapers that have
stood up for the party and its prin.
ciples in the face of. influences
that have corrupted so many metro

newspapers deserve great deal more
than they usually get. Now let
Democrats see that their local organs
get all they deserve.

Word has been received from Daw.
son City that John Pulver of Burling-
tob, Skagit county, WASH, starved to
death in the upper Tanana country.
Tho remains we're found within 200
yards Of prospector's cabin, where
the exhausted man had fallen un.
aware that he was 80 near q place OF
refuge. A dog which accompanied
Pulver went to cabin for something
to eat, and led the men from the
cabin to the body Of its master. The
miners of the locality called a meet
ing and gave Pulver's remains a crude
but decent burial in the frozen bosom
of mother earth in the heart oil the
pitiless wilderness, which had denied
him succor when he was famishing.

PRESIDENT ScHWAs'S cAPERS
his Endeavor Appears to Be Rapid DsveI.
opment Of the Unexpected.
Chicago Tribun,


Chicago Tribune.
It can scarcely be said of Mr.. c. M.
Schwab, President of the United States
steel corporation, that much learning
hath made him mad" He manifestly
needs the constant and serious admo.
nitions of his friends and should not
take amiss the gentle and restraining
advice Of those persons who are able
to influence him-if there be any such.
Mr.. Schwab seems to belong to that
exceedingly large class of the commun-
ity which finds it difficult to stand
prosperity. 1t was once said by a
shrewd observer that "any man can
stand adversely, simply because he
has to, but the real test of charac.
ter is whether q man can stand pros
perity or not" And Carlyle has said :
Adversely is sometimes hard upon a
man; but for one man who can stand
prosperity there are hundred that
will stand adversely" Mr.. Schwab
does not seem to be able to stand the
severe test OF prosperity. 1t has quite
undone him.
From the day Mr.. Schwab was elect
ed President of the steel corporation
until now he has been cutting up an
tics before high heaven which have
made the angels weep and have filled
his friends with amazement and alarm.
His first outbreaking performance was
at Monte Carlo. In spite of all denials,
it is true that he played recklessly. It
was not an edifying spectacle, that OF
the President OF the United States
steel corporation playing at the big
gess gambling establishment in the
world, where at his own request
the limit" had been removed. As a
lesson to the other employees OF the
steel corporation and to young men in
general, it was not only demoralizing,
but dangerous. This was merely the
prelude to the startling and eccentric
acts in his subsequent career. He has
thrown away his money recklessly, os-
tentatiously and senselessly. One re-
port says that he is building house
to cost two and one-half million dol
lars. Another credits him with pur-
chasing an entire summer resort. He
has given q church to q town which
his father honored by living in it. He
has bought yachts and automobiles
and made silly displays of regal bounty
to servants, beggars and freaks.
Mr.. Schwab's career abroad, as it is
now almost daily reported, is not such
as commends itself to American good
taste or educated judgment. If he is
not developing symptoms OF cerebral
alteration. he is coming dangerously
near to it. He needs a short season
in the cooling room and the applica.
ton of congresses to his fevered brow
until he gets we'll.

Had Paid the Forfeit.

Recently a Democratic canvasser in
Rochester, N. Y, found the name oil
as. B. Anthony" on his list. He
called at the residence number given
and asked if S. B. Anthony was a
Democrat. He was answered in the
Affirmative. s. B. Anthony was in
fact none other than Susan B. An.
thony. A few days later Miss An.
thony received Q postal urging s. B.
Anthony to register. The veteran
female suffragist sent the Democratic
committee letter in which she said
"In response to notice of this kind
in 1872 I did register, and later
voted. For this I was arrested, fined
800 and sent to Jail. You will please
excuse me if I decline to repeat thi.
experience"

Tree Mysteries.
Railr0ad Gazette

Nobody seems to know what cause
it is which produces those delicate and
beautiful lines in maple, known as
bird's.eye. Some people think they
come from the hundreds of little
branches which shoot out all over the
trunk of the tree as soon as clearing
is made around it. Expert timbermen
cay that is not the case. The only

INTERESTING RELICS.
Some Cherished Mementos That Money Can.
not Buy.

not Buy.
The New York Historical Society is
pushing the work of soliciting funds
for a new building for the historical
treasures that are in its possession, the
present building having been found
altogether inadequate for the purpose.
The New York Tribune, in presenting
the claims of the society, gives a list
OF some OF the interesting relics that il
owns, among which is panel of the
iron balcony railing of the old city
hall of New York on which the hands
OF Washington rested when he deliv-
cred his first inaugural address as Pres.
ident OF the United States. There is
also the stone base of the statue OF
King George III. which once stood in
Bowling Green and was pulled down
by the patriots in the revolutionary
war. A gold watch given by Wash
ington at Trenton, N. j., in 1777, to
Colonel Thomas johnson OF Maryland
is also in the hands of this society, as
part of the earlier of Washington rel.
les.
One of the most interesting features
of this society's collection is the great
number OF Egyptian antiquities COL
lected and presented by Henry Abbott,
the famous Egyptian antiquarian. 1t
is said that one Of the most highly
priced OF the features of this collection
is the gold jewelry, among which is a
necklace of the first Pharaoh, and a
signet ring of Shoofoo, or Cheops. the
builder of the greatest of the Pyramids.
The first of these dates from 275O B. C.
and the other from 1926 B. C.
Among the relics Of the early history
of our own country is included the
key to the old Bridewell, in City Hall
Park, where prisoners for debt were
confined, one of the interesting relics
Of early New York. It is about six
inches long, and massive enough to
send little chill up the backbone of
the sensitive beholder who has debts.
The walking stick OF Benjamin Frank
lin, the sword of General Gates, the
tomahawk pipe Of Red Jacket, q flag
used at the siege of Louisville in 1745,
and an old Indian Bible and prayer
book are among the interesting things
shown. The collections OF historical
deeds and other documents are exten.
sive, and contain many treasures.
Among the more interesting is the last
deed to Staten Island given by the In.
dians. 1t was executed in April, 1870,
and the consideration was four hundred
fathoms OF wampum, thirty boots,
eight coats, thirty shirts, thirty ket-
ties, twenty guns, firkin Of powder,
sixty barrels Of lead, thirty axes, thirty
"howes" (hoes) and fifty knives. That
was the price paid by the Duke of
York and Albany for the present Dor.
ough Of Richmond. The letters and
documents Of General Horatio Gates,
who is credited with an aspiration to
become the Commander.in.C Chief Of
the Revolutionary army at the expense
of Washington's leadership, are highly
valuable. One Of the most interesting
OF the documents is the original OF the
terms OF surrender of General Bur.
goyne, at Saratoga. It bears the sig.
natures of both General Gates and
General Burgoyne, and the date, Octo-
Der Is, 1777.

In France old shoes are bought up
in quantities by rag dealers and sold
to factories, where they are taken apart
and submitted to long processes, which
turn them into paste, from which the
material is transformed into an imita.
ton leather, appearing much like the
finest morocco. Upon this material
stylish designs are stamped, and wall
papers, trunk coverings and similar
articles are manufactured from it.

MOVEMENT IS ON FOOT TO RE. DUcE EUROPEAN ARMIES AND USE GAIN TO COLLECTIVELY WARD OFF COMPETITION.

Rome August s.-With regard to the statement in these dispatches that one of the principal questions or discussion between King Victor Emmanuel and the Czar of Russia, upon the occasion of the formers visit to St. Petersburg would oe the reduction of armaments a repre- sentative here of the Associated Press now learns that King Victor Emmanuers visit to Emperor William the latter part of this month, is intended to continue this same work in the direction of reach ing an international understanding in the matter of reduced armaments, the King of Italy having been encouraged in his determination in this matter by the Czar, who is ready. to assume the lead ership of the movement he initiated at The Hague.
 According to information from an au- thoritatve source the sovereigns referred to argue that the time of European wars is almost over. as their interests are so great in other continents that 1t is not worth while to fight for strip of land here and there in Europe. Consequently the large armaments which are now Ine tended for European conflicts might be reduced or transformed for the defense of colonial interests. the gain being de- voted to the Improvement of commerce and industry and for collective fight against the common danger-American competition.

MAY YOHE FAILS TO FIND
 HERDEAR RBRADLEE IN PARIS
Says She is Not Running After Him. But Made the Trip Because He Threatened to Kill Himself
 to Forgive Him.

Paris, August 3.-May Yohe reached Paris this morning but up to tonight she had not seen Putnam Bradlee Strong or learned where he Is.
 Miss Yohe reached the railroad station here at o'clock this morning. She suf- fered greatly and was unable to walk or stand as a result of having sprained her knee on the eve of her departure from London yesterday. Miss Yohes nerves were completely unstrung. She had to be carried to carriage at the station and to her room upon her ar- rival at the hotel where she Is stopping. The doctor who was summoned prescrib- ed complete repose and would not allow her to see any one during the day. He said rest for at least one week would be necessary to permit the recovery of her injured knee.
 Miss Yohe became calmer this even ing and insisted upon taking a short drive in the Bois de Boulogne. A repre- sentative of the Associated Press saw Miss Yohe tonight She was evidently greatly disappointed at not having heard from Strong and said:
 "I came here strafghtway upon rec~iv- ing a message in London from Mir. Strong, through friend that unless I came to meet him In Paris he would do away with himself in forty-eight hours;

establishment of a countervaiiing duty on Russian sugar, the imperial Russian government shall consider the establish ment of such duty as an infraction of its commercial treaties with powers so doing and therefore, free from obliga tions imposed by them and at liberty not to comply with their stipulations, when ever 1t will be to the advantage of Rus sia."
 Many of the American newspapers, M. Routkowsky explained, have interpreted the note referred to as a move on tho part of the Russian government to inau- gurate a European coalition against American trade. Such an understanding, he declares, is entirely incorrect and does the Russian government an injus- tice. The note was sent by Russia to the governments participating in the Brus- sells sugar conference and aiso to the American government merely as an act of courtesy. the United States not having been a party to that conference. In re- taliation for the countervaiiing duty against Russian bounty sugars imposed by the United States, Russia now imposes her maximum tariff rates.
 The object of the statement Issued to- day, M. Routkowsky says. is to show that Russia is not engaged in any effort to wage a campaign against American trade, but to make plain to the parties to the Brussels conference that the imposi- ton of countervailing duties agafnsl Russian sugar will be met as 1t was in the case of the United States. The ques- ton of the legality of the countervailing duty on the Russian sugar is now pend- ing in the United States supreme court
