without consulting the Legislature.
This will give the Governor complete
control of all the executive offices, and
will prevent the expense of calling an
extra session of the Senate when he
desires to remove a departmental head
in whom he has no confidence, or one
who actively or secretly opposes him.
The passages in the message which
refer to Hawaii are naturally those in
which we take most interest, but that
which refers to the Panama Canal is
of equal Importance to us, because the
Panama Canal is the coping stone of
our commercial success. The President
takes a strong position in justifying
the executive action with regard to the
recognition of the Republic of Panama.
There is every likelihood that he will
have full support in the Senate.

Herbert Spencer whose career is end
ed, was one of the Clearest thinkers of
his century, and had the most compre-
hensive mind. His fame is world wide,
and will be remembered as long as Ian
guage and thought lasts. He has, in
spite of his great fame, always been a
poor man. But he was a greater man
than any monarch on his throne, or any
plutocrat who counts his millions by
the score.

Goldsmith's House Today.

When Americans make pilgrimage
in the precincts of Fleet street they
generally have a look at "GOldsmith' S
House." as it is sometimes called, in
Wine Office court. At present they
would find it propped up with strong
beams, in case it should be disturbed
by the taking down of the building
next door. Goldsmith, could he re-
turn to these old haunts, would prob
ably not recognize it in it's splints.
Our knowledge of the smaller things
in this strange career is often pleas
antly uncertain, but it seems to have
been in the year 1850 that he moved
to these superior lodgings" at Wine
Office court. He had been writing
for John Newbery, and here he lodged
with one of Newbery's relatives, who,
perhaps, kept an eye on his Grant in
dustry. AS we may read in the Die
tionary Of National Biography" John
son supped at Goldsmith's lodgings on
May 81, 1861. He had heard that
Goldsmith had quoted him as a ''pre-
cedent for solvenly habits" and so he
came to the supper dressed with
scrupulous neatness." If the wall of
Number 6 could only speak, we should
ask them for a full account Of that
nights talk-London Chronicle.

COAL BY MARTIAL LAW.
How General Sheridan Stopped Ex-
tortion by the Dealers.

Martial law once was applied to re-
lieve a coal situation in Chicago. 1t
was not a grand jury, but an army de-
tachment under Gen. Sheridan that
dealt with the coal dealers.
Men who remember the days follow
ing the fire can recall that the expedi,
ent then resorted to brought relief n
a speedy fashion after pacific meas
ures had failed. The coal dealers
surrendered. After the manner of a
famous coon they called down not to
shoot and they would descend. And
they did.
The incident occurred during the
distribution of supplies by the Aid
and Relief association. T. 1. Prosser
was one of the committee on fuel. He
discovered that the companies were
being charged with short weight. Com
plants became numerous that the
dealers were not honest in weighing
the coal and that they were imposing
on the people to whom the deliveries
were being made.
He issued an order that all coal
wagons on leaving the coal yards
should be weighed by agents of the as
sociation and that a sworn statement
as to their contents should be given
to the committee. The dealers de-
clined positively to enter into any
such an arrangement. They declared
that the delivery of coal should pro-
coed in the ordinary manner or there
would be no deliveries. Before they
would agree to the demands of the
committee they said they would stop
furnishing coal.
The question was brought up before
the next meeting of the relief associa-
ton Mr.. Prosser presented his
proofs and announced the refusal of

CARE OF THE MACHINE.
A Sewing Machine Will Not Run
Well Unless Kept Clean.

a sewing machine must not be eX-.
pecCed to run we'll unless it is kept
clean and oiled as often as necessary.
Keep a soft buster always in one OF
the side drawers and use it every
time you sit down to the machine
Sometimes it may be necessary to
use little brush with stiff bristIes to
get into the crevices, or a soft, fine
Irvine to draw between parts to get
out the dust and lint.
The matter of oiIing depends alto
gether upon how much the machine
is used. 1t is impossible to say how
often to oil it; each user will have
to exercise her own judgment. Do
not drench the machine with oil,
hut put a drop or two in each little
hole designed for it, and nowhere
else. When about to sew wipe with
the buster the bottom of the shoulder
on the left-hand side, through which
the steel bars Of the presser-foot and
needle-socket descend. This is where
the oil comes from that sometimes
makes unsightly spots on the work.
When not in use keep the machine
covered and the leather strap slip
ped off of the large wheel. It will
last longer and stretch less if this
precaution is taken. If the machine
stand in one of the living rooms and
there are young children in the
house, release the device which most
modern machines have at the right
hand for connecting the driving
wheels with the upper parts. Prob
ably a good deal Of wear and tear
will thus be avoided, and if necessary
keep the machine locked.
When running the machine avoid
slamming, banging, jerking and
"scorching." By being gentle one
can get just as much work done, and
one better, and avoid breaking nee
dies, shuttles and the delicate parts
that the heavy-handed woman is al
ways demolishing.

JEWELS IN THE MORNING.
What Was Once a VuIgarity Has Now
Become the Proper Thinu.

Newport, it was reported, suffered
a great nervous shock when Mrs. John
R. Drexel appeared in the morning in
the Casino with diamonds glistening
at her throat and pearls of immense
price in her ears. 1t was sincerely
said she was trying to introduce a new
fashion, while in reality this fad came
from the European watering places.
On the occasion referred to Mrs. Drex-
ell wore a simple linen frock, and
against the unpretentiOus linen and in
the glare of the summer sun the dia-
monds had an inappropriate glitter.
However, the following morning it
seemed that jewels had grown over
night, for almost every other woman
chain of pearls.
Of late the lavish display of jewels
has been INDUCED in by persons who
are distinctly not Of the parvenu class,
and therefore Mrs. DreXel found cOnd1-
tons admirably prepared for the in
PRODUCTION of the morning wearing of
jewels. Mrs. DreXel seems almost
in league with the jewelers., for her in
huence has extended the privileges of
unmarried women in their use OF
jewels.
In the days Of our mothers a girl,
even with several seasons to her
credit, was permitted the possession
only of a pearl bar and a tiny watch,
and possibly an inOffensive diamond
ring. But now girls of the Newport
colony sally forth at night, their necks
clasped with pearl collars, their hair
confined by diamond pins and their
corsage glittering with half a dozen
clusters of brilliants. Miss ENTITY
Drexel-Paul, who has been under the
chaperonage of Mrs. John R. DreXel,
wears more jewels than any girl in the
| fashionable set, and it is said the con-
! tents of her safety deposit box
| jewel caskets are woefuly out of date
rival the possessions Of many ma
| irons whose husbands are milliOnaires.
With Miss DreXel-Paul for an eX-
ample, unmarried women have taken
up the fad of jewels, and fathers find
| the jewelers. bills of their daughters
quite as high as that Of their wives.
Only one sort Of ornament is denied
the maiden. and that the towering cor
Onet OF jewels.

the dealers to accede to the demands
of the fuel committee. Henry W.
King was president of the association
We'll, Mr.. Prosser,' he said, what
would you advise be done?"
If were Gen. Sheridan l should be
able to tell you mighty quick what
should be done, he answered.
Gen. Sheridan was a member of the
association, then sitting at the meet
ing.
Whats that which ought to be
done?" he inquired.
I'D declare martial law, take pos
session of all coal laden cars. and
seize every deposit of coal in Chi
cago.'
I'll do it." exclaimed the general.
The city already was under martial
law. The order was issued for the
troops to take possession of all coal
supplies. Before it became necessary
to proceed to the full extremity of the
order the dealers receded from their
position. They announced their will
ingness to agree to any terms the COM
mittee might impose, and the coal sit
uatiOn was reIie-ed.

Germany's Overproduction.

In the course Of his report just is
sued on the trade and finances Of
Wuertemburg, DR.. F. Rose, British
consul at Stuttgart, sketches in rather
gloomy colors the state of German in
dustries generally. DR.. Rose points
out that the industrial decline, follow
ing as a reaction on the great advance
made from 1896 to 1900, continued
gaining steadily last year in intensity
and extent. He sums up the present
state of German industries in the one
word "overproduction," with the con-
comitant symptoms of that condi-
ton. "It is growing evident that the
cost of living in Germany is becoming
greater On the one hand, manufac-
turers complain Of the decline in
wholesale prices, while on the other
hand consumers complain Of the rise
in retail prices, especially with re-
gard to the necessaries of daily life, a
rise scarcely noticed during a period
of prosperity, but becoming most
acutely felt when a reaction takes
place 1t seems at the present time
that the more German manufacturers
exert themselves to find a market for

THE PERILS OF THE NOME.
Great Always From Water, Fire and
Other Causes.

Although the most distant region of
North America, 200 statute miles
from Puget Sound, the Seward PENN
sula owes the rapid exploration and
development of its coast to the fact
that an all-water route was open to its
shores, and that freight still costing a
minimum of $40 a ton into Dawson is
being landed on the Nome beach for
$40 a ton. Passenger rates, higher
in the first rush, have fallen to $40
and $50 first-class and $40 or S25
steerage. Owing to the freedom from
hardships, as we'll as the low cost and
shortness Of time required, impelled
by stories that were indeed true of
rich golden beaches, about $4,000 peo-
pie and their chattels landed on the
low sandy spit at Nome and were left
to the mercy of surf and storm. The
Eskimo, very numerous along this
coast, who have none of the aloofness
of the Indian. came in their umiaks,
big skin boats that can carry fifty peo-
pie and all their belongings, and made
camp with the whites; but the Eskimo,
needing no barometer, intuitively fee
several days before a storm. Not so
the whites, who every year have been
caught In September, 1900 when
there were more than 10000 campers
along the beach, the surf rolled in,

offing, and destroyed about 81 500, 900

only danger. Another is fire. The
streets are narrow, and the houses
flimsy wooden stTuctures-stand in
serried rows. Because Of the cold
there are hot fires everywhere. There
are few brick chimnys, and in winter
thee is no water supply. If a serious
fire should occur in midWinter, de-
stroying shelter, food and fuel no re-
lief could reach the stricken people.
The nearest open port on the Pacific
is 500 miles to the southeast. 1t is
Iii miles from Dawson, with no
roads to either place. Boring Sea is
in the same latitude as the Baltic, and
like the Baltic is shallow and brackish
owing to the many rivers which
empty fresh water and silt into it. In
winter surface ice readily forms, ex-
tending 800 to 400 miles south of
Nome, effectually isolating the city
from November 1 until June l. This
is uncomfortable, and three projects are
under consideration to effect com
munication throughout the whole year.
The simplest is to maintain in Boring
Sea an ice breaker of the Admiral
Ermak type-an easy task, as the ice
is not as thick and solid in Boring Sea
as in the northern Russian ports. The
second project is to build a railroad
from Cook Inlet or Prince William
Sound on open Pacific waters to
Nome by way of st. Michaels. The
third plan is to connect Nome by rail
road with the lower Yukon River, and
ultimately effect junction with the
railroad from Valdez to Eagle. To
complete this project would require
about 900 mics of track.-Harringto
