AMERICAN MANNERS.
are Much Befter Than the Average
Britisher of London Has
Any Idea OF.

The ordinary Londoner who has
not had the good fortune to cross
the Atlantic is wont to picture his
American cousin wearing goatee
and a victim to the constant chewing
of tobacco and liberal expectoratlon
On arriving in New York he is
amazed TO discover that the goatee
is conspicuous by its absence, tooac-
co chewing unnoticeable and ex-
pectoration practically unknown. In
this respect he finds the New Yorker
far more clearly in his habits than
the Londoner, more especially on
public cars and in public places, says
an eastern exchange The urre-
strained indulgence Of splitting on
and off the tops of buses and IN rail-
way trains, and the random chewing
and smoking of tobacco IN anu
around Lo1son are simply odious,
and make travelling intolerable ana
ofttimes disgusting even to smoh-
er. Here the strange prohipitioh
against splitting in public places ana
the sensible regulation as 70 smok'
ing are so thoroughly observed that
travelling becomes pleasure n
London would only copy the most adj
mirable example existing IN New
York in this respect the English
metropolis would soon be rid OF
most uEwarrantable and filthy hapat.

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.
Some OF the Many Changes Which
Have Occurred in That Country
in Recent Years.

Since 1886 flve events have occurred
that wholly change conditions IN
Alaska for the better, reports the
Engineering Magazine.
i In that year the Klondike gold
discoveries were made. and in 1891
and lS9s great rush ta and throug
Alaska began, resulting in q doubling
Of the population and in an output
of gold from the Yukon region t0
date Of ST5,0Ga.000
2 In 1885 the Philippine islands
were acquired by the United states,
giving Importance TO the direct route
along the Alaskan coast between
North America and the new posses
sions.
3. In 1899 gold was discovered on
the beach at Nome, and this carried
10000 people to this part Of Alaska
and resulted in an output Of $4,000
600 in gold annually, or more than
twice as much as all Alaska had pre-
viously yielded.
4. The Alaskan salmon fisheries, in
their infancy in 1896, have grown in
1902 TO great companies, capitalized
for $20,ooo00o and with net earnings
last year Of more than S2,oo0o0o and
employing 10000 men.
5. Two railroads have been con-
structed in Alaska, one of which is in
the extreme southeast, costing $4,000
900, earned last year over S3. 0oo. 900 net,
and the other in the extreme north
west near Nome, a little road five
miles long. which earned $4,000 net.
6. Coal fields formerly specifically
known have been explored and inves-
tigated while new ones of great val
ne have been discovered.

CHINA MAKING PROGRESS.
Industrial and Commercial erowth
of Asin's Greatest Country Is
an Assured Thing.

Europeans and Americans who have
lived long in China are quite unani-
nous in the opinion that the greatest
country of Asia, taking account OF
area, population and natural resources,
is making steady progress industrial
ly and commercially. and the general
belief is that more rapid gains are as
sured for the next few years. Stats
tics of exports and imports tell the
same story. So does the development
of railways and telegraph lines. The
worldwide Importance of this progress
is not easily exaggerated. 1t promises
to insure the existence of the Chinese
empire as an immense Independent
state. for it lessons the force of such
pretexts as might have been discovered
or invented for dividing or selling the
country 1t also makes the interna
tional Importance of China so evident
and so great that no one European
power is likely to find the way open for
the absorption Of so rich an empire
while the more progressive the Chi
nese become the less chance there will
be for an agreement between the lead
ing nations Of the west as to the terms
of a possible partitioning of the mid
die kingdom.

Kindlv Advice.

A well known city editor once

write up the wreck of steamship.
ali day he waited but not a word
Of copy" came over the wire. The
evening passed and it was time for
the paper to go TO press yet not a
word been received from the scribes.
The editor gave up all hope, and af-
ter writing up an article from tel
egraphic reports proceeded to insti-
tute a search for his young men.
just as the presses started a mes
senger rushed in with the following
telegram signed by the two report
ers We've arrived here and in
spected the wreck, what shall we do
now?" The city editor made few
remarks about his aids and
then penned them the following
message;

Hurt Her Feet.

The narrator was strolling down
the shady side of streetin south
ern city some time ago when he no.
ticed a yellow girl approaching him.
She had on a slip Of ragged gown,
and battered straw hat, but what
particularly caught his attention
was the fact that her feet were
wrapped in old gunny sacks and
she was painfully hobbling along,
"Why, Liza, " said the narrator,
kindly, "you seem to be in a power,
full lot of misery"
"Yessir, said the yellow girl.
"What is the tronble?"
The girl carefully lifted one foo
and then the other. Then she stol
idly replied: Dad hit me on DE-
head wild an ak las night an l wai

the vulgar extravaganza Of their
colleague. On Thursday Senator
Carmack indulRed in his third

No new light has been thrown on

Friday Senator Lodge attempted to
have a day set for vote on the bill
but was opposed by Senator Dubois,
The senator from Massachusetts
then gave notice that unless there
were soon signs that the debate was
being brought to a close he would
insist that the senate remain in ses-
sion for longer hours each day. The
speeches Of Senators Lodge, Bever-

Volcanic Eruptions.

Professor Stlliman of Yale says
that volcanic distinctions such as
recently prevailed in the Lesser
Antilles may visit the western part
of this country at any time. He
says there is evidence that they
we're active at least a few hundred
years ago for there are in existence
stumps of trees that were de-
stroyed at the time of this activity
and these volcanoes are liable to
break forth at any time.
Earthquakes are produced by a
sliding away of masses of rocks and
then there is a settling of the earth.
AT the Charleston earthquake the
crack in the earth was several miles
long.

A writer to the Gazette recently
suggested that the board Of trade
in Port Jervis take up the PROPOSE
tion of chartering a train from Sus-
quehanna eastward "that would be
absolutely free to every one coming
and returning, the expense to be
borne by voluntary subscription
from the business men there?"
Wonder where that man lives or
has lived certainly not in Port
Jervis, or he would know that for
thirty years the people of this val
ley have been paying large tolls to
get to Port Jervis and they never
heard of a merchant there, no mat
ter how generous the purchase, Of
fering. to even divide the toll tax
with his customer People down
this way are waiting the time, and
hoping it won't be long, when the
same money they would pay to
cross the bridge to Port Jervis will
take them % StroLdsburg and re-
turn by rail-. When that day comes
they will no doubt recall the large
heartedness of Port Jervls business
men in more ways than one with
few exceptions in the past in the
matter of inducing trade to that
town.

Wells, which occurred at Atlanta,
Georgia, last Sunday, came as a
shock to the people here, many Of
whom had the pleasure of making
her acquaintance when she with her
husband visited Mrs. Ann Wells
last season. Her maiden name was
Ethel Charlse Bruner and she became
the wife Of Frank II. Wells, former
ly Of this place, in April, 1901, at
Atlanta where she resided. Her
pleasant ways and winsOme manner
charmed those here who met her and
life was just opening to the sweetness
of a true home when the dread and
sudden summons came. He hus-

Great Loss of Life.

The island of Martiniqe was visit
ed by an earthquake and volcanic
eruption last week and st. Pierre and
several other smaller towns were to-
tally destroyed and their inhabitants
killed. It is estimated that over 80,
600 perished on that island alone and
on st. Vincent about 1000 we're lost.
Mont Pelee on Martinique has been
quiescent for many years. There
were trees 100 years old on its sides
and from base to top it was green
with vegetation. For several days
prior to last Thursday the volcano
was active but the people were NOT
alarmed. On that day q shower OF
ashes fell and the lava flowed down
the mountain side overwh, Inning ev-
erything in its course, bringing death
to the people, destroying plantations,
burning ships in the harbor and
making all a desolate and dreary
waste. People are now found piled
in heaps in the streets faces down
wards and where a beautiful city
stood is waste covered with ashes,
mud and lava. Men are but mites
before such mighty convuIsions Of
nature and though these people had
long lived in fancied security the end
came swift and sure when nature
developed her awful might.
