The travelling bag has undergone in
teresting changes within the last few
years, and has become much more
handy article than it used to be. Re-
Gently the valise of woven straw,
which weighs practically nothing at
all, and actually not more than few
ounces, has come much into fashion,
but now this seems likely to be in its
turn superseded by the paper travel
ing bag, invented by Pennsylvania
man. 1t is collapsible when empty so
that it can>be stored or shipped in that
condition just like fiat sheet Of pa
per. When wanted for use it may be
expanded at a moments notice into
the form of valise, with suitable
handle-Saturday Evening Post.

This we may illustrate by the follow
ing example: Suppose two groups of
100 infants each, one Jewish, one of
average American parentage, to be
born on the same day. In spite of the
disparity of social conditions in favor
of the latter, the chances, determined
by statistics, are that one-half of the
American children will die within At
years, while the first half of the Jews
will not succumb to disease or accident
before the expiration Of II years The
death rate is really but little over half
that of the American population. This
holds good in infancy as in middle age.
or, of 1000 Jews born, 217 die before
the age of Z years, while 453 Christians
more than twice as many-are likely
to die within the same period.

LOOK OUT FOR GERMANY.
That Country Is Foremost In Adoi't-
Ing Labor-saving Machines.


One is at once impressed with the
fact that the Germans have been
quicker than other nations to take
advantage of improved machinery and
methods. An inspection of our ex-
ports to Germany in tho last half
dozen years shows an extremely salts
factory increase in our sales Of manu-
featured goods, but an analysis of the
character of those manufactures
brings out the fact that a large part
has been in labor-saving machines,
whose economics have at once been
turned against us.
There are some shops IN Germany
that are quite as admirably fitted with
modern machinery as would be cor
responding shops with us, says Frank
A. Vanderbilt in Scribner's, and with
such superior equipment and with
labor costing little If any more than
half what our labor is paid, the Ger
man manufacturer will make us look
to our laurels.

to the grower, and by adding to the
general prosperity Of the State The
plea for lowering the tariff is founded
on:
An alleged suffering Cuba.
In all sincerity the journal de-
clares that it cannot conclude that
Cuba is suffering. There were brought
before the ways and means committee
of the House a number of Cuban sugar
planters. We have yet to read the
testimony Of one who did not acknowl-
edge that the island was prosperous;
that labor was better employed than
ever before; that any enlargement Of
the sugar industry by increasing the
size and number Of the plantations
would mean that labor must be i'm
ported to work them-cheap labor, not
American labor. In fairness, let us
admit that some of these same Cuban
planters predicted suffering in the flu
ture II the sugar crop of the island
could not be sold at higher rate than
offered now.
Grant that. But in whose hands,
then, is the price? In the hands of the
Sugar Trust. II the tariff Is cut 20, or
some other per cent, there is no GER
tainty that the Sugar Trust will do
other than say to the Cuban planter:
THE price Of sugar is fixed in the
London market; any reduction in the
tariff is velvet for me. II you do not
wish to take the price we offer there

in the market to be had at that price. I"

SHREWD BIOLOGIST.
Realizes Fortune from Petrified Logs in
Russia.

Russia.
Some years ago a geologist discov-
cred some huge logs in the bed of a
river in South Russia; they had been
rendered SO had by the chemical
action of the water that he called them
"petrified tree trunks" and he further
remarked that the chemical action had
not only hardened, but colored them.
A concession was granted by the gov
eminent to the geologist and he has
made fortune out of the immense de-
post, although he is only working it in
the most primitive way.
There are $50 miles Of these petrified
logs; most of them exceed 100 feet in
length, while the diameter is nearly
two feet. 1t is estimated that there
are still $4,000 of these huge logs to
be ffshed up, and the wood is fetching
a very good price at Riga and else
where.

The citrus fruit growers Of this and
other states where the orange grows
are beginning to realize now what one
cent a pound tariff on that fruit, for
which they work SO hard, means. They
thought they knew before; now they
know that 1t means more profits on
their productions. The prices on citrus
fruits in the American markets are
higher than before, but better profits
are being realized, Notwithstanding the
high freights to the East. Still we
shall have the free trade doctrine to
fight again and again.-Petaluma

O'Brien & Kerney of Idaho Springs,

opened good streak of ore which runs
1000 ounces of silver and 50 gold per
ton.
Lerchen & Lawson, operating the st.
James property, have IS to 20 inches of
splendid looking ore and to 4 feet of
concentrates. Every indication points
to large product and the boys are more
than pleased with the outlook.
The Taylor brothers, working the
Platts through the Princess of India tun-

to $500 per ton.
The Sisters company are getting down
to business in good sh lpe, Work on the
big tunnel proposition is progressing as
rapidly as circumstances will permit.
Material for a power house is being
placed on the ground, and as soon as
completed plant of first-class machinery
will be installed. MIR. Burton, the man
ager, says they will build large concen-
trating mill during the year, and tram
from the Sisters property will be built to
carry ore to mill while the tunnel is being
driven. Mr. Burton thinks they have ore
enough on the dump and blocked out in
the mine to keep the mill running for
two years.

There is plenty of ore in the district to

PLAYED A GOOD GAME.
Baseball Fans Are Greatly Pleased With the
Local Team and Its Energy.

Lovers of base 4all were treated to a
good game at the local grounds last Sun
day. Some pretty playing was done by
the Central City boys, as well as by those
at home, and the game was conceded to
be a hard fight with the umpire leaning
toward his own people. Some regret
was expressed on account of some of the
rulings, but the home boys are always
willing that the kick in such cases shall
be in favor of the visiting teaus.
1t is evident that Manager Rowe has
succeeded in getting together mighty
good aggregation of players. "Ducky'
did some brilliant work behind the stick
and was foundly cheered for the good fit
his paws managed to make on Elliott's
whizzers. The fact that the team has had
but little practice made "Bus" little
wild until he was thoroughly warmed.
Stingly made a couple of pretty plays
at first and several good hits were made.
1t was game so early in the season that
the players did not accomplish the good
things they will later on, but it furnished
proof of the good qualities of the team.
Central City played a very even game
all through. The score by innings, Civ
