So he produced the few matches for
which he had that noon traded several
cookies at the village school, and boldly
lighted one. The first revealed nothing
except the mounds of hay, nor was the
second more successful, but by the light
of the third they saw Cackles red comb

he did the match which he held. tossed
it carelessly on the floor, and, followed
closely by his sister, fastened to join
his friend.
After the children's hasty exit the at

peering from her lofty perch, she saw
tiny. yellow flames fast spreading IN all

when Teeney could hardly stir from her
little home The water rose to an
alarming height and the fisherman's
family was in danger of being washed
away. The boat was old and leaky from
standing in the warm sunshine. They
felt that they would have TO move II the
river rose much higher, for the water
was creeping up toward the bottom OF
the boat and the piles were covered
many inches from their foundations
When Teeney crawled into her little
bed one night and looked out over the
waste of waters she thought OF her
friend, the big fish, and she peered into
the depths OF the river and wondered II
he would be safe with all the water
washing and washing down toward the
sea that she had heard so much about
and which was somewhere a long, long
way off toward the south
She was awakened from sound sleep
by hearing a thUmp. thump on her win
dow. which overlooked the river. She
was frightened and began TO cry. she
looked out and saw a great fish leaping
into the air from the surface OF the
food and striking the window with Its
tail. She screamed louder in alarm, and
awoke her parents. They ran 70 her and
her father cried out as he looked from
the window:
The food. The flood is upon u.s.
He took his little girl 10 his breast,
and, followed by his wife. leaped from

something was wrong and stepped TO
the door. from which, TO her horror, she
saw smoke curling upward from the roof
of the barn in more than one place.
But this unexpected sight did not cause
her to lose her presence of mind She
caught the dinner horn from its nail
beside the door and blew several vigor-
Gus blasts.
A bucket brigade was at once organ

their help, the fire was soon subdued and
the barn saved, though the hay in the
loft was ruined.

Potomac in Maryland.

Judge Witzenbacher gave an i'm
portant decision at Hagerstown de-
termining the status Of the Potomac
river between West Virginia and
Maryland. His decision is to the eff
feet that the title to the bed of the
river to high water mark on the Vir-
ginia shore is in Maryland and not in
the landowners of West Virginia.
Several weeks ago John Reid, of
Berkeley county, w. Va, was grant
ed temporary injunction restrain
ing John Forsythe and others of
Westernport, Md, from erecting a
fishpot across the river at Williams
port on the ground that it caused the
water to flood Reid's land and made
the public ford impossible. Judge
Witzenbacher decided that under the
charter from King Charles /, to Lord
Baltimore the river became the prop
erty of Maryland, whose ownership
continued to the land marking usual
high water on the West Virginia
bank, and that the flats on Reid's
land was part of the river bed and be-
longed to Maryland, and he therefore
dissolved the injunction.

The SMALLPOX SITUATION.

Two New Cases Developed This Morning in
The Clark Family
Last week this paper gave an ac-
count of the breaking out of a case
of smallpox in the family of Robert
Clark, a colored man residing in Oak
land who had become inoculated
with the disease while in Piitsburg,
Pa. His condition has been very bad
from the outset, the disease being in
its most virulent form.
Ever since the case came under
the observation of the health board a
strict quarantine has been maintained
around the premises where Clark and
his family reside. The family has
not been allowed outside the house,
his wife being his nurse and this morn
ing she and her oldest child, boy of
about twelve years of age, developed
the disease,
An effort is being made by the
health office to secure nurse for the
afflicted family and unless this can
be done at once the family of four
children and those afflicted, will be
in dire straits.
1t is hoped that the disease will not
spread and indeed, there is no reason
why it should, as no outside person
has been near the premises.
Nearly every citizen Of Oakland has
been yaccinated and as result there
are many sore arms in evidence. The
usualform of salute is not good morn
ing but g has it took yer.

The question of Importance in regard
to this matter of alien immigration is
becoming increasingly political rather
than economic, and that aspect OF the
question receives too little attention. Eff

perIy so within reasonable limits, to the
exclusion of the undesirable elements"
for economic reasons. But hastily MAX
ing citizens and voters of this und1-
gested and unassimilated mass of popu-
lation is quite a different matter No
man ought to have the right of suffrage
under our form of government until he
has an understa nding of its principles
and an intelligent conception of the du-
ties of citizenship. The native who
grows up under our system and in its
atmosphere acquires something of this
capacity even if his education is neglect
ed and he is more apt to fail on the
moral than the mental side. But for
eigners who are ignorant not only of the
country and it's history and institutions,
but even of its common language, can
not acquire fitness for exercising the
right of suffrage in a few years. If they
have the language they may advance
rapidly, but while they are ignorant of
that and herd together in communities
of their own they make little or no prog

SHIPMENT OF GRAIN.
New Orleans Rivals New York as
Port for Corn and Wheat.

Grain circles in this city are repre-
sented as regarding with concern the
figures showing the exports of wheat
and corn from this port and from New
Orleans for the year 1903 as compared
with those of the previous year, and
also with those of a succession of fiscal
years, which show-and particularly in
the latest comparison-that New York
is in danger of losing its distinction as
the leading point of export for those
breadStuffs. There may be some salts
faction to be derived from the fact that
the loss of position is as yet only a
menace. and that when all classes of
breadstuffs are considered New York
is still the port from which the expor-
tation of those products is greatest. But
during the fiscal year the exports of
wheat and corn together from New Or
leans amounted to 332, 257. 273 bushels,
while the aggregate of those two ar
ticles exported from New York was
81, 150.0S
This is not the result of whim or ac-
cident, but the response to an energetic
effort to build up New Orleans as a
port of export for corn and wheat. In
order that the city may become a local
grain port as well as one through which
grain passes on through bills of lad
ing, New Orleans is to establish a mar
ket for grain futures. In order to en-
joy the benefits of the experience of
other ports0a committee of representa-
tive business men is about to visit a
number of cities, including New York,
with the object of making a report that
may be used as a basis for a grain
futures market in New Orleans. The
concern excited by this information
proceeds from the fact that a very
large part of the grain business of New
Orleans is row conducted through New
York. With substantial backing the
opening of New Orleans as a grain
futures market might be expected to
still further increase its Importance in
the statistical tables-New York Times.
