BIG CAVE DISCOVERED.
Eighty Miles Due North Of Spokane
In MetaIine District.


With walls and ceilings sparkling
with the brilliancy of diamonds, with
huge rooms, wide passage ways, dark
and mysterious places, while here and
there flashes stream or sparkles a
pool of water, a wonderful cave has
been discovered about so miles almost
due north of Spokane.
Reports state that it has been pene-
trated about 5000 feet or more than
half a mile, but still the explorers have
been unable to find the end and how
much further it does extend or what
new wonders it contains still further
back is to be determined by later
search.
Already two large compartments
each about 800 feet square have been
found, connected by wide passage
way. The cave is said to be in a gran
tie formation, which, If correct, would
make the existence of such huge
cavity appear all the more remarkable.

An attempt by half a dozen colored
persons, opposed to Booker T. Wash

tute, to ask questions at a meeting
which he was addressing recently in
Boston at the Zion church almost re-
suited in a riot. and 25 policemen were
called to quell the disturbance. Sew
eral arrests were made, one policeman
receiving a deep stab from a hat pin,
while a man, said to be one of those
opposed to Washington, received sew
eral razor cuts and is now in the hos
pital. After the arrests Mr.. Washing
ton was allowed to proceed, and spoke
for nearly two hours.

 The photographer than handed to each of these three persons green back, and the episode was ended.
 what meaning farmer from the interior would have asked, docs this strange episode have? Why were these strange pictures made? Why did you put our middle-aged friend in the fuA- dress evening suit to such atrocious suf- ferings?"
 The photographer would have an- swered:

These pictures have taken illus trate lines in the. song. The pictures will be thrown on screen in darken- ed theater, and a man and a woman will stand alongside of the screen and sing the song, the pictures changing as the song goes on, each line being illus trated with an appropriate, more than life-size, photograph.

Hard Luck of suffield Growers--The
 Cost Drawback. .s

Hard Luck of Sufield Growers--The Cost a Drawback. There seems to be difference of opinion as to whether the experiment of raising tobacco under cloth is really a success. James P. Spencer, of Suf- field, has plowed up six acres of shade grown, which appeared to have rotted off just above the ground. The syndi- cate farm in West Sufield, which rais- ed fifteen acres under cloth last year, did not start any under cloth this year. Pitcher & Phillips, of East street, raised about six acres of shade-groWn last year. and they also gave it up with one years trial.
 The supply raised last year seems to have been equal to the demand, as there have been few sales reported of last years crop. Cigar manufacturers near Suf1eld have used some of the shade grown, and some are still using it, but the objection has been raised that the wrappers are not sufficiently tough. The tobacco raised at William s. Pin l ney's farm last year compared favora- lbly with the imported Sumatra in toughness and texture. One of the se- rious drawbacks to the success of the experiment to the small grower is the
 excessive cost of raising tobacco under cloth. A prominent tobacco grower and dealer said last week that it costs over la dollar a pound to raise shade-grown. While this is a higher estimate than is
 made by some growers, it comes from a man whose well-known business ca- | aif 1af {slc
 to the correctness of the estimate, in his
 case at least, and there is probably no Igreat variation in the cost of raising among the growers. G, l Added to this first cost must. be in iterest on the money invested, which at
 a low calculation is $350 an acre, to-
 gether with the increased cost of culti- Evation and preparing for market, so
 that 1t is apparent that the crop raised | in this manner must give, a large per- icentage of tobacco that will sell in open market at a price mot much below $2.50
 a pound. Even at this figure, with one
 or two years like, the present season, the profits will not be a much larger
 per cent. than on ordinary tobacco I iraising. .r@ * | This year has been an unusual one, las tobacco grown in the field has topped Iout low, owing to the cold, wet weather
 that followed the drouth of May. An Iother year may bring conditions favor- liable to the experiment, but the time Twill never come when it will be policy for the small farmer to invest all his funds in raising tobacco under cloth
 Much of the outdoor tobacco is looking lgood, although there is diversity -ot
 lopinion as to whether the crop vii

 Iwho has had many years experience
 and has closely watched the expense

SOME NEW METuoDIsrs.

Geronimo, once terrible Apache, but now a good Indian. has joined the Methodist church at Fort Sill. The joining took place last Sunday. There was large gathering of Indians and whites present. With the Comanches sitting on one side of the tabernacle and the Apaches on the other, each tribe with it's interpreter standing in the foreground repeating the words of the white preacher. the minister stood and told the story of Christ. At the close of the sermon Geronimo and twelve of his warriors, prisoners at Fort Sill, went forward and asked to be received into the church. In the afternoon the bap- tismaI ceremony took place.
 Of course this is all right, but Geroni-
 mo and his band were so uncommonly murderous and cruel that there are some who would think them out of place in Heaven. But there seems to be a place in Heaven for repentant mur- derers, judging from the number of them who have felt sure that they were going there. It is to be hoped that the new Indian Methodists in Fort Sill wont forget themselves in meeting and whoop instead o. shout.

put of the United States last year. Ohio is second with a production of 3,6OO,O0O tons, and then come Illinois and Ala bama. The latter State, by the way, is steadily increasing it's pig iron product, and now sends about 100000 tons to market every year. The consumption of pig iron in the past year was larger than in any preceding year. It not only exhausted the entire output of this country, but required considerable im- ports from abroad. A total of 1S,517, 900 tons were used during the year. While the production of pig iron was 1,94G00O tons more last year than in the preced- ing year, the consumption increased g. 3OO 900 tons. The surplus was made up from imports and from stocks of unsold pig iron.
 And so forth and so on. The iron and steel business is certainly great, and the Wall street end of it is great

NOT CONSPIoUOUS.

The boy stood on the burning deck whence all but him had fled. He was a good and conspicuous boy, but per- haps he wasn't very smart. Where is J. Pierpont Morgan now that the deck with which they deal in Wall street is burning? He is not as conspicuous as he was when he was giving orders to this and that one, joining everything and everybody in "con1munity of in- terest," and incidentally making little money for himself while seeming to be doing good to everybody except the wild and wicked "bears." Perhaps he is too smart to be very conspicuous just now, but he really ought to be moved to show himself by the touch ing appeal which the Philadelphia North American makes to him. Read it: Not only have you an opportunity, MT. Morgan, to reassert your amazing power, but weighty obligation to do 2 2 e -s .

AN HONORABLE COMPANY.

The Honorable Company of Fishmon- gers, which controls the fish trade of London, is just now in the public eye. The company, it appears. fixes mini mum price for the fish of various kinds, and this price must be strictly adhered to, no matter what the demand may be or how it may consist with the. supply. Recently the supply far exceeded the demand at the market, though there was a call for fish that was not met in other parts of London and in the sub- urbs. Rather, however, than sell the fish for lower figure than that fixed, which would have attracted the trade from a distance or from the poorer quarters, the Honorable Company of Fishmongers ordered that the excess be thrown in the condemned barge to be considered as offal in the manufacture of fertilizer, and bringing no return at all. It has been suggested that rather than waste good food in so unholy a manner the fish might be given to the Salvation Army or the Church Army to be distributed to the needy poor, but to that nothing in the nature of a reply has been heard, and a figure is still
 fixed below which the fish cannot be sold.
 There is some talk in England about 1 this performance, but the public appar- l entity has no redress, for the rights of
 the Fishmongers' Company were given
 by one of the kings several hundred
 years ago, and they are firmly held.
 The Honorable Company of Fishmon-
 gers seems to know it's business as we'll
 as some of the honorable companies in
 the United States know theirs.

POSING FOR SONG PICTURES.

Queer Business That is Carried on by
 Some Photographers.
 A pretty girl stood beside kitchen table in room with ceiling of glass. Her sleeves were turned back over her white arms and she wore the short skirt and the high-heeled shoes of the maid of the theater.
 Ready" she asked.
 From a corner man behind a cam era answered Ready" She buried her hands in a pan of dough that was on the table before her and the man pho- tographed her in that attitude. Now there came from dressing room gen. tlenaan of middle age in evening clothes. He posed himself beside the busy girl. He sat on the table, bending over her, very friendly. .
 ''Ready?" he said.
 "All ready" the photographer an- swered. ss
 A picture was made of the pretty maid and the friendly, middle-aged gentleman in evening dress who sat be- side her while she worked.
 Then the gentleman, taking hold of the maids chin gently, turned her pret- ty face up to his. He looked down up- on her roguishly, tendenry. "Ready?" he asked. -..-. A third picture was made. Now the elderly man took the beautiful girl in his arms. He placed his lips on hers. He said "Ready?" this time in a some- what muff1ed voice, and when he de- tached himself after the picture had been taken from the entwining maid ! the prints of her four covered hands and arms stood out with amazing dis tinctness on the back of his black coat.
 A woman, middle-aged and by no means fair, entered. The man and the maid stood far enough apart now, but there on the back of his coat were those two white arms and hands. The wo- | man took up a rolling pin. "Ready?" she asked.
 "Let her go," said the photographer. The woman brought down the rolling pin on the mans head and at the same time a picture of the blow was made. It was a genuine blow-a blow that hurt. "Ouch," the man said, and he looked at the woman vindictively. She l now LOOK up d pucheI oL Walei tnat stood at hand.

ENCoURdGlNG.

The holders of Steel, or Steal, as some of them call it, need a little encourage ment just now, and it is given them in a statement concerning the American iron trade for the past year. All past rec ords for production of pig iron and steel, as we'll as for consumption, were broken
 in the year recently ended, and that in spite of a long, coal strike and a scarcity
 of transportation facilities that tended
 to hamper the industry. In the year covered by the report the total produc- tion of pig iron was 17,S21, ,S07 long tons,
 against 15,s00,0O0 tons in the preceding year, and a gain of 100000 tons over
 the output of 1900. The production last
 year was almost double that of 1897, which shows the tremendous boom en- joyed by this industry. Pennsylvania is easily the leading State in the pro- duction of this metal, being credited with about 50 per cent of the total out
