Mascagni's troubles are principally
due to himself. He came to America
without capital and with a large COM
pany on his hands, expecting to pick
up money in the street. The money did
not materialize as fast as the bills and
when he could not meet the latter he
met the sheriff instead. 1t was a pro-
ceeding of legal regularity from which
American as well as foreign opera man
ayers have been known to suffer. AS
might have been expected, the attempt
to make the affair an international in
cident has not panned out Italy has
no treaty permitting her people to
dance in this country and then decline
to pay the fiddler.

THE EFFECT ON HAWAII.

If the bill providing for a rebate OF
duties on coal equal to the present tar1n
becomes a law through the signature of
the President it will make a consider
able difference to Hawaii. Although 1t
is only temporary measure it may last
long enough to permit a large number
of coal laden vessels from foreign ports
to reach Hawaii before it is cancelled.
The present tariff on coal is sixty-seven
cents ton.
Thirty-five vessels are now either on
the way from or are chartered to load
at Newcastle coal for Honolulu. The
schooner Churchill is out fifty-two days,
the barkentine John Palmer is out for
ty-seven days, the barkentine Mako
we'll is out forty-five days. and the
schooner Eldorado is out forty-four
days from Newcastle bound in. These
vessels are all due and number OF
others are out more than thirty days
on the voyage from the Australian coal
port and should they be detained until
after the signing of the remission Dill
they will save a considerable amount OF
money for the importers of the coal
About twenty thousand tons of coal
should reach this port within the next
month from Newcastle.

the proper performance of public duty

BRITISH WAGES FALLING.

+ A LldIheu ItQuCLtOA III ILlG wages u
labor in England is reported in the
Chamber of Commerce Journal, the Off
cial organ OF the London Chamber OF
Commerce, a copy of which has just
reached the Treasury Bureau Of Stats
tics
There is a warning it says, tic
masters and men alike in the official
report on the changes in rates of wages
and hours of labor during 1901. It fore
shadows a relapse from the prosperity
of the last few years, a decline in wages
having to be recorded for the first time
since 1895. Moreover. during the first
half of the present year, the tendency
is still towards lower wages. The num-
Der of work people affected by reduc-
tions in 1901 was greater than any year
in the period 1S93-19O1, the computed
amount of the reductions being more
than the total reductions recorded in
the previous eight years. 1t is estimat-
ed that the net decrease in the wages
bill last year was about 1854, 600 ster-
ling, compared with net increase of
six millions in 1900. The fall in wages
ing and the metal, engineering and
shipbuilding groups of industries, there
being net increases in the other groups
building, textile, clothing, etc. One
is, however, the fact that there was
a large increase in the percentage of
work people whose wages were settled
by Cancellation boards, etc, which is
mainly due to the formation or re-es-
of such boards in the min
ing industry. Out of every 100 per
sons whose wages We're changed only
two We're concerned in strikes and lock-
outs. This is the lowest recorded per-
centage.' With regard to changes in
hours of labor, $50 work people had their
hours heightened and 2S, 500 had them
shortened, the net result being a re-
duction of ,72S hours per week. The !
principal changes We're in the printing
trade. Included in those affected by
in hours in this trade are 49,
923 compositors, readers, machine mind |
ers, bookbinders, mechanics, etc, en-
ployed in the London printing trade. !
hours were reduced I'M |
der the award of the arbitrators ap- |
pointed by the Board Of Trade from
to fifty-two and half. The
letter press printers, bookbinders and
machine rulers of Glasgow, to the num-
Der of 1850. also secured a reduction
from fifty-two and half to fifty. A
brief consideration of the foregoing will
show that altogether the outlook for
labor is less encouraging than for some
years past, and it behooves both en-
ployers and employed to use common
sense, zeal and intelligence in main
tanning and consolidating industry, up
On which the prosperity of the country
depends
The following table, compiled from

Statistics of the United Kingdom" re-

Trade shows the standard rates of

to see what the law will do with a
householder who shoots a burglar in his

sit has been the wettest spring
known since Oklahoma was opened
to the public. The bridges across
the Ameroon were washed away a
few days ago and the Perkins bridge
is condemned. Many places in Ok

have been drowned and scores are
homeless. There has been a great
destruction of property by hail. One
Of our neighbours coming from the
Chickasaw nation picked up hail
stone seven inches in circumfer-
ence. All the window lights on
one side of the car in which he was
travelling were broken.
''No very severe storms have &C.
Cured in this vicinity. Crops look
fair. Wheat is all harvested and
nearly stacked, and blowing is we'll
under way. The prospects for
fruit is very poor-in fact, poorer
than it has been for a great many
years. Cotton is sad failure, in
fact, the crop is almost entirely
ruined, because of so much rain

the latter all spring. 1t has helped

A Wonderful Invention.

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention
of articles of minor Importance. Many
of the most popular devices are those
designed to benefit the people and
meet popular conditions, and one OF
the most interesting of these that has
ever been invented is the DR.. White
Electric Comb, patented, Jan. l. '99.
These wonderful combs positively cure
dandruff, hair falling out, sick and
nervous headaches, and when used in
connection with DR.. Whites Electric
Hair Brush are positively guaranteed
to make straight hair curly in % days
time. Thousands of these electric
combs have been sold in the various
cities of the Union, and the demand Is
constantly increasing Our agents are
rapidly becoming rich selling these

AN APPEAL FROM KANSAS.

Argentine, June 26, 19O3-Dear
Sir: This is place of $500 people,
The recent flood rendered 5000
homeless. The population is COM
posed of laboring people. Hundreds
have lost their houses, furniture
and clothing. Some have not a
change of clothing. In the country
the farmers lost all their property
and crops.
One-half of the stores in town
were filed with water to the cell
ings. The water entered the Sec
ond stories of the houses and COM
pletely submerged cottages and
many we're wrecked and a large
number were swept away The
mud is foot or two feet deep in
the houses and on the streets. II
has an odor and must cause sick
ness. One-half of the town was
| covered with water.
Argentine is s'plrate corpora
ton six miles from Kansas City
Mo-, and about the same distance
from Kansas City, Kansas. All G
the large contributions have beer
sent to Kansas City, Mo-, Kansa
City, Kansas, and Topeka.
We need help to remove the mud
cleanse the sewers, repair tn
houses and care for the sick. Tn
city is financially embarrassed an
cannot carry the burden. Tn
people cannot do more. All contr
buttons, large or small, will b
thankfully received. Send all draft

cleaned out, such as crushed sugar
and coarse tobacco.
The past month has broken all
previous records for dry weather

The Story of the Cherokee
Chief Say Ou-Katchei Hi
and the Witch Water.

l cannot undertake to say how many
ages ago it all happened, but once upon
time it fell out that the great Chero-
kee chief, Say GU Ratchet Hi, which, be-
ing translated meaneth Thunder of the
Blue Mountains. having lain out O. nights
beyond the point of prudence with friend
| ~ moonshiners. was seized throughout
his sacred person with severe and irri-
tating pains, which, after due considera-
ton, were pronounced the result of rheu-
matte gout. The medicine men, acting on
the age-worn theory that the hair of the
dog is good for the bite, and hoping to
soothes their liege-l lord into soft for
&c tfulness of his aches and pains, gave
him long and frequest draughts of mel
low, perfume laden mountain dew, yelept
III the ycrnacular of the vulgar, white
/ lightning, tangle-foot or corn whiskey;
but when this treatment proved of no
avail all of the medicine men assembled,
and with them the seers and priests
and, fearful of their lives, they decided
TO dose the staunch old warrior with
the most potent connection known to
/ science and enchantment, wherefore there
! was administered unto him PURGE of
rattle-snaIes' tails, bears claws, stick
bait eyes of eft and toes of frogs, all
gathered in the still hour of midnight
while the catamOunt scratched among the
dusky shadows of the balsam and the owl
1 booted at silence and phantom shades of
/ prowling ghosts.
/ Yet did the chief grow worse; and
/ when hope was abandoned a withered
squaw who had seen the SHOWS of more
I than a hundred winters, brought hope
again to his worshipful ears with the
tale that when she was in her teens
bringing young bucks over journeys of
many moons that they might bask in the
/ light Of her wondrous eyes-here the old
chief interrupted. telling her to cut it
short-but unoffended, she continued. re-
! lating how she had heard from an ancient
/ crone that there existed many miles
4 sou-west by sou springs of waters tina
dubbed hot from the bowels of the
steaming earth, and that to battle there
in was health, and strength, and youth
renewed.
Say Gu Ratchet Hi tried to jump at tins
/ chance. but the effort stung his painful
feet and wrenched his swollen joints
