church. In the San Jose papers once
or twice week he inserts little no.

has just appeared:

drowsy day but il you had been at the
Second Presbyterian church you wouldn' I
have dozed The pastor preached two
earnest. enthusiastic sermons. and the
music was alive and inspiring. Mrs. Hill
man Smith sang that old favorite, THE
Holy City" to the enjoyment Of all. and
the chorus choir rendered two anthems.
The congregation was nearly as large as
the church Itself An old timer there
looked around and remarked to by

many held by them as collateral for
the loan was sent by Speyer & Co. to
the officers of the company in this

yet been made public.
AS far as the rest of the situation is
concerned there was little change in
the affairs Of the company. c. E.
Orvis, a director. said movement of
some stockholders of the company was
on foot to try in some way to save what
they can of their investments in the
stocks of the company, but he gave no
details. The stockholders protective
committee held a meeting to consider a

Directors, officers, stockholders and
creditors all acknowledge that the
wreck is complete The syndicate that
put up the temporary S5,050,0OO loan

capital. Ahead of the Speyer loan are
four prior liens amounting to nearly

adjust themselves to the new
schedules. For this reason there
is danger that any attempt at re-
vision coming at the approach of
presidential election may be fol-
lowed by purely temporary depres-
sion and that may produce, in turn
a temporary change of view on the
part of the part of the voters.
change which would have been
entirely dissipated before a presi-
Dental election arrived had the
tariff revision been attempted
three years earlier. 1t was this
view of the situation which certain
experienced senators presented to
the President at Oyster Bay last
spring and which converted Mr..
Roosevelt to the stand pat" policy,
but it is also this view which, in
the opinion of certain well posted
republicans, may and probably will
lead President Roosevelt to ad-
vocate some notifications in the
present schedules during the win
ter of I9o4-O5.
The opposition recently express
sed by certain dignataries of the
Catholic Church to the oath re-
quired of members of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union has
served to bring out the fact that,
according to a reliable authority,
the committee which, acting for
the President, has just completed
an investigation of the Government
Printing Office, called President
Roosevelt's attention to the incOm-
patibility of the printers oath and
their loyalty to the Government.
1t is claimed, moreover, that It
was for this reason that the Presi
dent Immediately instructed Public
Printer Palmer to require the usual
oath of Office from every employee
of the Printing Office, which has
been done. The members of the
union referred to a required to
swear that their duty to the union
shall not be interferred with by
"any allegiance owed to any other
organization, social, political, or
religious. 1t is explained by
| Jerome F. Healy. Secretary of
Union No. g.. that this should be
accepted in a purely Pickwickian
sence an not as meaning what it
says but it is not unlikely that
the printers will see the untenable-
ness of their position and will
change the verbiage of their oath
50 that it be impossible to construe
it as iuimical to the LOYALTY every
American owes to his country, OF
as interfering with the fealty a
man may desire to give to his
church. There has been expressed
considerable curiosity as to the
the delay in making public The
results of the Printing Office il
vestigation, but it may be said tina
the reasons for deferring its public
ity are excellent and are calculated
to make for the best interests o
the government and of the Office.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 2S.-When
shown the dispatch stating that the
state department at Washington had
heard nothing from Minister Beaupre
concerning the Panama canal treaty,
and that the treaty was dead, United
States Senator Morgan made the fol-
lowing statement:
"The treaty has been dead for %
days. Nothing could have resurrected
il. The action at Bogota means the
building of a canal by the Nicaraguan
route. President Roosevelt has no dis
cretionary powers. but it is made man
datory upon him. 1t turned out ex'
actly like expected it to do. 1t is
the best thing for this country and

proposition to build the Nicaragua
canal, and it will be the best thing for

Wooden Nutmeg Beaten.

You have heard" said the tobacco dealer. 'Of wooden nutmegs-those were the things that gave a new fame to Connecticut-but did you ever hear of tobacco made of wood? Such to- bacco was put out in cigarettes by an enterprising British firm last year It was shredded pine wood. colored very artistically and saturated with certain drugs that gave it a taste resembling tobacco remotely" says the Philadel- phia Record. The cigarettes were cheap, and they had a good sale among the young. The British firms business increased. A good number of ma chimes for shredding wood were in stalled in it's factory, and the hands worked overtime to supply the trade. Then suddenly the law stepped in. The firm was fined S1,OOO, and the manu- facture of pine wood cigarettes came to a full stop. Here, as a curiosity, is a wooden cigarette. one that I saved. It looks, you see, like the real thing. I guess, too. that it would taste as much like the real thing as many of the cheap cigarettes that are on the market"

SHELTERS ARE
 AGAIN RUNNING
THos. WHITEHEAD TELLS HOW
 THINGS LOOK AT cANANEA

Says Camp Seems Dull Because of its
 Being Scattered Over So Much
 Ground-Narrow Guage Operating
 Thomas Whitehead, proprietor of the Copper Queen hotel, returned from Csranea yesterday. He visited the copper camp for the purpose of looking after private interests. While there Proprietor Whitehead had an opportunity to learn the condition of affairs that exist in the company's smelters.
 Speaking about the recent strike of men on the narrow gauge road and the consequent closing down of the smelters he said:
 The smelters have resumed and are now running al their full capacity. The company seems to be getting all the ore it needs to keep all the fur races going.
 There is not an entire crew on the narrow guage road, though the trains seem to be running as usual. They are now running shorthanded but ex- peCt before long to have all the men they need.
 AS Tar as could see the com papy is pounding away much the same as it has been for several months They are getting out ore and converting it into bullion at the big smelter plant
 Il was told that the company is cut ting down the number of men em- plOyed in every department. Tn the past they have had more help to do the work than the present manage ment thinks necessary.
 Tn spite of this the company has Q big pay roll, and seems to have enough men to do as much work as was done before the number of en- plOyes was reduced.
 There is no getting around the fact that Cananea is quiet. IL is scattered over so much ground that one cannot see any great amount of business be- ing done by any of the stOrekeepers.
 If all there is at the camp was centered it would make a town not as large as Bisbee, and there would not be as much business done
 T think that it is safe to say that the strike is now a thing of the past though it looked for a time as if there would be serious trouble

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Americans In English Society.

Americans Sn English Society.
 Not long ago a certain young Ameri- can was q guest in a country house which received an unexpected visit from royalty. It seems that when the party was first made up the royalties were included. Then. something inter- vening. the great guests thought they could not come. and their places were filled with people of less importance, But after the party has assembled the hostess received a telegram saying aft CT all if it would be convenient, their royal highnesses would come with pleasure. The young American went at once to his hostess, saying:
 Now, I understand thoroughly that i: your party had been arranged to meet royalty 1 should not have been included, and I want to relieve you of any possible embarrassment by going at once"
 She only laughed at him. You'll stay just where you are. Rather, you will move up q story higher You are the very least of my troubles. l wish the others were all as sure of accepta- bility to the royal guests. If you were an Englishman, there would have to be great care and selection before you could be asked to meet them, but as it is one only has to say you are 'Ameri- can That satisfies all possible in quiries." II is hard to say whether this is a matter for pleasure or for re- sentiment. But there always seems to me still certain cOndescension in this very friendly attitude.-Chalmers Rob erts in Worlds Work.
