A comical vindication of the rights Of
property among the savages of New
Guinea was witnessed by missionary,
the Rev. James Chalmers. Service was
just beginning in the little church when
a native boy came in dressed with
what he considered great magnificence,
in q shirt. AS the savages were accus-
toned to go nearly naked, this garment
made the boy very conspicuous.
The shirt had once belonged to some
white man, and the Importance it gave
the present Wearer was tremendous.
But when his glory was at it's height
bigger boy appeared, hot with rage and
carrying a jacket. He fell upon the
first lad and began stripping off the
shirt The rest of the congregation, I'M
Outstanding at once that the rightfuI
owner had arrived, gave him not only
sympathy, but practical aid. They rose
to their feet, and those who were near
by took part in the stripping process.
Presently the true owner was invested
in shirt and jacket, the congregation
cooled, and the service went ON.

Her Last Breath.

1 never had the luck to hear it before.
1t was of a somewhat lengthy railway
journey in very warm weather. An
elderly lady, seated in one corner of
the carriage, was provided with an in
dia rubber cushion for her greater COM
fort, but unfortunately, owing to the
heat and continued pressure, the cush-
ion suddenly exploded. The old lady
was in despair, even to tears, over the
misfortune to the wind bag, and again
and again reverted to her misfortune.

traveller in another corner of the car

CANADA GETS A BONE
Goes to Your Uncle Samuel Port
land Canaf4

London. Oct. 19.-The Alaska boun-
dary commission has reached an agree
ment whereby all the United States
contentious are sustained with the eX-
ception of those in relation to the Port
land canal, which Canada wins. All
that now remains to be done is for the
commissioners to affix their signatures
to the decision and complete the map
which will accompany it. On the map
will be marked the boundary line def
initely fixing the division of United
States and Titish territory on such Il
basis that no United States citizen
will lose foot of land he already be-
lieved he held, while the United States
will get all the waterways to the rich
Alaskan territory with the exception
Of the Portland canal, which is prac-
tically useless to Canada, as it in
wolves the building of railway to
the gold fields, just as was the case
before the decision.
That Canada is disappointed in the
decision goes without saying. A To-
ronto cable. says that Judge Thomas
Hodgins, Il. c., who has made thor
ough study of the boundary ques-
tons, said when he heard of the de-
cision: Prom my view Of the case the
worst | thought the Dominion had to
expect was the deadlock. The decision
is most unfortunate for Canada. But
while Canada feels this keenly, there
is scarcely a disposition to resent the
injustice. There is intense disappoint-
ment, but it will be accepted as the
law in a loyal manner, | am sure,
| am inclined to the opinion that it is
Lord AlverstOne's decision that has

of fact is said to lee as to whether
Miller had any connection with the
dealings between Ryan and Johns. or
as to whether there was any con-

defendants renewed their bonds for a

There were dramatic scenes during

BALTIMORE CITY ALL RIGHT
No More Failures Looked for and a Conf

No More Failures Looked for and a Conf
dent Feeling Prevails.
AS is we'll known there have been
other financial troubles in Baltimore
within recent period, involving, first,
the City Trust and Banking company,
and cOincidently the Hammond Ice
company, and then William J. Mid
dendOrf & Co., but it is not believed
that they were in any manner the
forerunners Of these later suspensions.
Among the alarming rumors atioat
was one to the effect that the munich
pality of Baltimore had millions of its
treasure realized from the Western
Maryland railroad involved in these
failures. Investigation, proved, how
ever and the finance commissioners
have so announced, that the city has
only 100000 invested with the Mary
land Trust company, and this is Sc
cured by three bonding companies of
this city
While these events have provoked in
evitable uneasiness. the feeling in
financial circles at the close of bust
ness was one of confidence that there
will be no more failures in this city,
and that after a brief period of IN
rest business will settle down to it's
accustomed channels Of security.

DEVASTATING FLAMES

State of Washington and Wipe
Out 100000.
Aberdeen, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE most
destructive fire in the history of this
town has wiped out ten business blocks
and many residences, causing a loss
Of probably $1,0O0,00O. Not more than
one-half of the loss is covered by in
surance, for the reason that the inSur-
ance companies have refused to carry
any greater risk owing to the inflam-
mable material of which all the build
ings in Aberdeen are constructed. Ev-
cry business man in the city is a loser
either by fire, water, removal, break
age or loss by theft. Not anticipat-
ing that the flames could get beyond
the fire departments control many
waited until the fire was close upon
them before starting to move out.
The fire burned for five hours and
caused four deaths. The dead are:
Charles Rolls, Daniel Webster, Calvin
Mckenzie and an unknown man. In

STEAL MARCH ON STANDARD co.
Ohio Independent Association Buys Up
Crude Oil Receipts-Standard Re-
serve Is Low.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 2O.-The indie
pendent Oil Refners' association, re-
Gently organized here, has been sue
eessful in stealing march on the
Standard Oil company by quietly buy
ing up Il large number of crude oil
receipts.
These receipts are for Oil in storage
and are issued by the Buckeye Pipe
Line company, branch OF the
Standard, but also q common carrier
of oil. In retaliation, it is said, the
trunk line railroads issued an order
that freight on crude oil in quantities
less than car lots must be prepaid.
This ruling has been protested against
by the independents, and an investi-
CATION is now in progress. The
Standard is short of crude Oil, and
its reserve supply is exceedingly low.
The action of the independents has in
creased the big company's difficulty.

Concerns i'm No Way Connected-NO Wild
ows Nor Orphans Involved.
The plain facts in the days his
tory are as follows: Two trust compa-
MES closed their doors. The Maryland
Trust company was the first to an
nounce its suspension. This was fol
lowed a few hours later by the clos
ing of the doors of the Union Trust
company. Allan McLane, third vice
president of the Maryland Trust COM
pany, was appointed to take charge of
the affairs of that company. Miles
White, .Jr., first vice president of the
Union Trust company, was appointed
receiver of that institution. McLane
gave bond i'll the sum of $2,OOO,OOO,
and White gave bond in the sum of
S1,OOO,0OO. The total liabilities of the
two companies exceed $10,OOO,0OO.
The Maryland Trust company's fail
ure was due, as is set forth in the
statement of Receiver McLane. to the
investment of the assets Of the com-
pany in Mexican railway securities,
which could not be marketed. The
Union Trust company failed because
of run on it's banking department,
about $15O,OOO having been withdrawn
by depositors; but the real troubles of
the company had their origin in the
organization of the South and Western
railway in Virginia, in which a CAPT.
talization Of about 81 100000 was con-
templated- The Union company was
the fiscal agent for the Virginia en-
terprise just as the Maryland company
was the fiscal agent for the Mexican
railway.
Though these two failures followed
so closely it can be stated on unques-
toned authority that there was no con-
nectlon whatever between the two
