Am Inexpemsfve Remedy For Getting
 RAd of Soof.
 The, tendency of pipes and furnace fues to fill with soot at this season of the year is so marked that any sugges- ton of convenient remedy for that condition is worthy of serious consider alton. A correspondent to the St. Paul Pioneer Press says that zinc burned in the furnace is very effective. Just throw. upon the fire handful of zinc filings or a. piece of sheet zinc as large as your hand, and 1t clears away the soot as if by magic.
 Once a week will suffice. Shut the door quickly after throwing in the zinc. Our informant says his family has used this method for forty years and never had occasion to employ a chimney sweep.
 This remedy Is not expensive. A wornout zinc washboard will furnish enough of the metal for six or eight oc- casions. And if you have to buy sheet zinc 25 cents worth may suffice for "a single fire all winter. Even when soft coal is used in hard coal stoves and fur naces the zinc win keep them open, so that those who have been unable to se- cure anthracite will not be seriously in- convenienced by the, change.
 If this recipe is all that is claimed for 1t, the inconveniences of using soft coal are reduced to minimum, and it's cheapness more than compensates for being deprived of hard coal. If it will keep the chimneys clean, the cost of chimney sweeps and the dangers from fire by burning out are both avoided.

We can't paint picture. or carve . statue. or make coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do it because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for good while-b a cause we have studied it, and thought sbout 1t, and worked hard as any painter ever did.

How to Avoid Coal Smoke.

Tn a lecture recently Dr. David T. Day, chief of the division of mineral re sources of the geological survey, gave some valuable advice regarding the use of bituminous coal, telling how to get rid of soot. He said: If at the time the soft coal fire is started another fire of paper be started above the coal, the soot, which always rises with the build ing of these fires, will be destroyed, do- ing away with the most annoying fanr Eure of bituminous smcke.s 2 'S-sry : v

THE COLLINS CANDIDACY.

The expected has happened
and Justice Collins of the supreme
court has announced once more
his candidacy for governor. 1t
is safe to say that the announce
ment will be received by the
people of Minnesota with COM
parative Indifference.
Justice Collins is an able and
highly respected man. He is an
ornament to the highest court Of
the state. His personality and
ability have done much to make
the supreme court of Minnesota
the power it is today. He would
make a good governor and so
would a great many other estim--
able gentlemen we'll known in
Minnesota. Time was when
Judge Collins might have been a
most formidable candidate. Had
he consented several years ago
to put aside the dignity OF the
bench and make an active cam
paign he might, who knows, to-
day be governor. But Judge
Collins waited for the office to
seek the man and so many pol
iticians got in the way and kicked
up such dust that the office
never found the Judge.
Today Judge Collins, while
highly esteemed by all, is out Of
touch with the people. From
the tone of Judge Collins an
'nouncement of his candidacy it
seems probable that he has as
surance Of Van SAINTS support.
But we are not rislzing our repu-
tation much when we predict
that the nominating and electing,
of the next governor is going to
be done by the people of the
state and the politicians are not
going to have much to do with it.

GAS MAGNATE ARRESTED
ON LARCENY CHAR GE
President of Seattle Company Accused
of Stealing Mortgage Bonds.

SEATTLE. Wash, Nov. s. Frank
B. Poor, president of the Citizens
Light and Power company, recently
organized as rival of a company of
the same name, which was Incorporate
ed in New Jersey, was arrested today
on a bench warrant issued from the
court of general sessions, New York
city, charging him with grand larceny
in the first degree.
The specific charge alleged is that
Poor, while a partner in the banking
house of Marquand & Co., New York
city, appropriated to his own use nine
$1,000 Iron Mountain mortgage bonds
and subsequently fed the country,
coming to Seattle. The alleged ap-
preparation is said to have been COM
mitted on June 26, 1901. An indict-
ment by the grand jury was obtained
on the 2Sth of October last
PoOr's bond was fixed at $1,000 and
the date of hearing Nov. 10. Bail was
furnished promptly.
The Citizens Light company, Of
which Poor was president, was a SELL
ing company that obtained it's gas
from the Seattle Gas and Electric COM
pany, and also used that company's
mains. 1t sold gas at a much lower
rate than it's parent company in COM
petition with the other company Of
the same name which had been doing
business in Seattle under a New Jer-
sey charter.
Poor claims the arrest is spite work.

VERY LIKE OUR OWN.

The report of the proceedings at the
opening of the regular session Of the
Cuban congress is familiar reading.
The people Of the little island have
taken their cue from us, and the mes
sage of President Palma is not unlike
the average communication of the
president of the United States to con-
gress. The main interest just at pres
ent lies in the finances of the country.
The enormous loan authorized to make
payments to the Cuban army has not
been negotiated. The methods of rails
ing money to, pay the interest Of this
tremendous debt, therefore, have yet to
be intimately discussed. There is no
sign of backward or repentant move
ment by the republic in the matter Of
the crushing obligation that it is about
to assume, and that will be used, one
cannot doubt, largely for political pur-
poses.
President Palma speaks of the OPP
ponents of his policy as certain tur-
bulent Spirits" which is really an i'm
provement upon American political
courtesy. He advises a larger repre-
sentation of the country among for
eign nations, notes the progress Of
treaties between Cuba and the rest Of
the world and devotes most Of his mes
sage to such practical questions as the
formulation of Immigration laws, the
encouragement of settlers, the build
ing of railroads., the extension of the
postal service and a more perfect sani-
tary system.
1t is entirely wholesome that the at
tention of the Cuban people at this
time should be centered mostly upon
practical affairs. The great danger to
them is that, before they settled down
from the exuberance springing out of
their sense of freedom after long strug-
gle and oppression, they should go off
into the air, following illusions and po-
litical birds of passage until the actual
prospects of the republic were ruined.
There is nothing on earth to sober a
country Or an individual like having to
have the harness buckled on and to
settle down for a steady pull of hard
work. President Palma is directing the
Cuban republic along that line, and In
so doing he is rendering it the greatest
service in his power.

INSURANCE COMPANIES
AFRAID OF j. L. BLAIR
Fear the St. Louis Man May End His Life
and Would Cancel Policies.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. SIN the United
States circuit court the Mutual Life In
surance company. of New York, filed an
application for the cancellation of two life
insurance policies aggregating $3.50 900.
carried by the company upon the life OF
James l.. Blair.
The company charges that the policies
were secured through fraudulent represent
tations. The petition further charges
that Blair attempted to take his own
life on Oct. Is and Oct 81 and defraud
the company Of the amount of the policies.
The petition also charges that Blair
for ten years, during which time he was
attorney for the company deceived the
company by representing that he enjoyed
an income of 100000 year, that he was
capitalist and able to pay the pre-
miumS.
The petition sets forth that on Nov. 2
the company served notice upon him OF
cancellation of the policies which IL held
upon his life and made him a tender of
the amount of the premiums he had paid
and interest thereupon, amounting to $685.,
O63, and that this tender was refused.
The tender is therefore made to the
court, and it is petitioned that Blair be
required to appear in court to answer the
charges, but not under oath, the petition
ers specifically waving requirement OF
an oath.
Papers summoning Blair to court were
given to a United States deputy marshal
late today and he departed for the Blair
home to serve them.

SILENCE is GOLDEN.

Every one will compliment the ac-
ton taken by the management of ath-
letics at Ann Arbor as reported in spe-
cial advices to The Globe. Capt.
Reddin, of the Michigan team, for
himself and his men, has made public
the following statement: "The Michi-
gan team regrets publication by news
papers of articles in which members of
that team are alleged to have accused
the Minnesota team Of unnecessary
roughness in their game" This is fol-
lowed by a graceful and gentlemanly
acknowledgment of the skill and spirit
of the Minnesota players.
There has been a great deal of fool
ish and discreditable talk credited to
the Michigan men. We are prepared to
believe and do believe that it was who'll
ly unauthorized. Undoubtedly, the
Michigan players were terribly disap-
pointed. They never for a moment
doubted of victory In their contest with

Governor of Territory of Hawaii
Urges immigration.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. rcov. s.
Gov. Sanford Dole, chief executive of
the territory of Hawaii, expresses the
opinion in his annual report to the
secretary of the interior that unless
there should be larger immigration of
American settlers than now seems
probable the present numerical inferi-
ority of those which may be classed as
belonging to the Teutonic race, as COM
pared with the Hawaiians, will, in
few years, become a still greater infe-
riority, as compared with the Ameri-
can citizens of the Hawaiian, Portu-
guese, japanese and Chinese races"
This opinion is based on conditions
In the schools. The American and Eu-
ropean children in the schools, not in
Guiding Portuguese and Porto RicanS,
number 1,5O5, an increase of only Is over
the previous year, while the Hawaiian,
Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese chill
dren in the schools number 1929, an
increase of 945. THE prospect" says
the governor, emphasizes the impor-
lance of giving to all children who are
American citizens, a good common
school education. The association of
pupils of the different races with each
other in school work and the recrea-
lions of the play ground go far toward
breaking down race prejudices and
tends to prepare them for intelligent
political action in the future"
Other references in the report to
social conditions in Hawaii, are as fol-
lows:
There are many marriages between
Hawaiian women and white men and
few between Hawaiian women and
Cinnamon. The offspring of both
classes of marriages are an improve
ment, as rule, on pure Hawaiian, in
thrift and business enterprise.
The Portuguese generally inter-
marry among themselves. The same is
true with the Japanese
Part Hawaiians, as a class, are in
creaslng and the rate of decrease Of
the pure Hawaiian appears to be a di-
miniShing one"

Der, to be used in the erection of the
Mosque of Omar and the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher.
This concession is one which will be
OF thrilling interest to everyone in the
Whole religious world. The interest
which is taken in it by Orientals is
shown in the fact that the sultan of
Turkey has agreed to send over his
own special band. There arrived this
week from Jerusalem and from Greece
number of shopkeepers who have
made arrangements for reproducing
their booths within the Jerusalem ex-
them in Jerusalem, and the same

Street Railway Company Reorsanizes

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Plans were COM
pleted today which within fortnight
probably will result in the organiza-
ton of new company to take the
place Of the Lake Street Elevated
Railroad company.
After a series of meetings between
the directors, controlling interests, re-
ceivers and stockholders, it was
agreed to petition the court to take
the road from the hands of the Equita-
BILE Trust company as receiver. The
whole plan hinges on the ability to
raise approximately $1,400,000 to pay
off the company's floating indebted
ness. This amount has practically
been pledged, it is said, by Blair &c
Co., of New York, the dominant pow
er in the affairs of the road. James
Blair is expected in Chicago tomor-
row to put the final stamp of approval
on the proposition.
