Cardinal Gibbons is said to be the
candidate of the foreign preiates for
Supreme Pontiff. but there is little
chance that he or any other non-Italian
will gain the honor. Every Italian
Pope sees to it that his countrymen
are kept in the majority in the gov
eminent of the church; and so, when a
vacancy comes to the throne of Peter,
an Italian candidate is sure to fill it..
The system is one which gives a
parochial limitation to a universal
church and may easily rule out of the
Pontificate men best fitted to exercise
it's powers: but it rests on long usage
and on some strong attributes of hu-
man nature which are not likelv 20

CHINESE EATING FLOUR.

The popularity OF American -four IL
China is attracting attention on boti
sides OF the globe. The British Consul
General at Canton, in a report sen
from China 10 London and publishes
in that city, stated that the demand foi
-four among emigrants returned from
the United States is so great that the
| quantity OF -four imported in 1902 ex-
ceeded that of 1901 by 95.s31, 32S pounds,
and was also some 7O.4OO, 900 pounds in
excess Of the average for the past five
years.
These figures of increase III Chinese
consumption of -four are justified by
the figures of the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics showing expectations of -four
TO China and adjacent ports. Indeed.
il is only when the shipments to the
ports adjacent TO China are considered
that the rapidity of increase in exports
of flour to that part of the world is
realized. To China alone, the exports
of American flour have grown from
10, rs barrels in 1892 10 99.624 barrels in
1902. This increase of S5.9O6 barrels is
small, however, compared with the in
crease in the shipments to Hongkong. |
from which point most of the flour |
there received is distributed to the |
various ports of China. The exports |
Of American flour to Hongkong in 1892 |
were 457, $50 barrels, and in 1902, 1885,
1893 barrels, an increase of ga, 203 bar
rels. To Russian China, the exports
Of American -four, which began in 1900,
we're 1857 barrels, and in 1902, 50,140
barrels. To British China the flour ex-
,orts were 375 barrels. Grouping the
hree statements of exports OF flour
rom the United States to China, to
and to Russian and British
,hina, the total for 1892 stands at A.
O8 barrels, and for 1902, 1,549.032 bar
DO per cent in the expectation of
american flour to China and to ports
to the consumption of
hina, while the total expectation of
our in the same years was, in 1892, 49,

arrels, an increase of about fifteen per :

The rain which fell in the mountains
and valleys yesterday and spattered
drouth had not only become serious as
respects forage for cattle but it had
begun to affect health. 1t is noticeable
here that people are in a better physi-
cal state when there is an alienation
of rain and shine than when it shines
all the while. a long drouth has more
possibilities Of epidemic in it than a
long rain.

TOURIST MONEY.

Sugar money is a good thing to have
tion dividends goes out of the country
and most of the labor money takes the
same course. what is left is not enough
TO make good times for the commu-
nifty; not enough unless sugar goes to
an extraordinary price.
For a circulating medium tourist
money, under present conditions, is bet
ter than sugar money. 1t comes to
stay. The people who get it and pass
II around live here. But a small per-
, centage is exported in the form of divi-
dends to nonresident investors, or of
foreign deposits. Tourist money, fur
thermore. does not cost much to get.
1t requires no expensive mills, no pro-
vision for a host of laborers, no debts
upon which interest has to be paid
Every dollar buys OF us what costs us
nothing-scenery and climate being the
principal stock in trade. Advertising
and drumming expenses are all we
have to meet and these are not high.
Are we going to get our share of the
tourist trade OF 1904? 1t seems
doubtful unless the commercial bodies
begin hustiing soon. Four months from
now most sight-seers and health-seek
ers will have made up their minds
where to spend the winter. If they are
TO be taught the advantages of an Ha-
waiian trip now is the time to begin
upon them.

His Time Was Worth Money.

The late President Harrison was a
remarkable man, and not less remark
able as an able and profound lawyer
than as a statesman. This was album
dainty proved by the enormous fees
that were paid for his services when
he resumed his profession at the close
Of his presidential term.
One of his most ardent admirers was
an old colored man in indianapolis. A
friend of this man had been injured
in street railway accident, and was
discussing with him the feasibility Of
suing the company for heavy damages.

PHILIPPINE DAILY LIFE.
Little Details, Including Prices of Eat

We have read much about the poll
tics of the Philippines, and about the
army and other big things, but not
very much Of the day-tO-day expert
ences of the Americans who go there.
Most men who write home think they
must give their opinions on large mat
ters, about which they do not know
much, and so the homely facts seldom
come to us. A graduate of Colgate
University writes to the MadisOnesis,
the paper published by the students
Of the college, an account full Of little
pertinent details:

New Hotel Wrecked.

HiIe House at Kilbourn was badly
wrecked by the explosion of gasoline
light machine Mrs. Hile was hurt and
William Brewer, plumber, also. The
loss will probably exceed $4,000. The
building was a fine three-story hotel,
newly built. The explosion took place
in the cellar under the dining room. The
floors over the cellar on the first floor
are all completely torn to pieces. The
floors on the second story and the walls
are all torn up. The side walls of the
building are bulged and thrown from
the supports. The glass fronts and win
dows are broken and the whole house is
a wreck The explosion was caused
by leakage in the gas lighting appara-
tus. William Brewer was in the cellar
filling the water tanks and inspecting the
apparatus and for some reason he must
have lighted a match, when the whole
cellar was involved in the explosion OF
the escaping gas. Mrs. Hile was in
jured by the flying debris. The loss is
estimated at $4,000.

At Sparta a wildly excited crowd of
hundreds of angry men attempted to
lynch Samuel Montgomery, who murder
ed his wife in Warrans. At ! 80 o'clock
in the morning a hundred or more men
made a dash toward the rear of the Jail,
but a volley over their heads by the
guards checked the movement. Sheriff
Cassels, with his small force of deputies,
fearing inability to cope with the mob,
appealed to. Governor La Toilette, who
ordered Company X and the Sparta COM
pany to proceed to the Jail at once. The
lynching was thus prevented During
the inquest at Tomah, in which the jury
wife, a mob of 300 people attacked the
officers. A call was sent to Governor La
Toilette who ordered out the militia.
The Sheriff and deputies stood off the
mob, and Montgomery, faint with fear,
was spirited out of the back door and
rushed to waiting train, which took
him to Sparta. The mob made an at
tempt to stop the train, but the attack
was warded off at the point of guns.
During the inquest the small daughter OF
Montgomery testified that her father sent
her into the pasture May 81, and when
she returned her mothers neck was brok-

stood over the woman, she said with the

Uncle Jobs Sacrifice.

1 spose it's part of the disease, but still
it's queer ter me
The way them poetry fellers praise the
things that used ter be.
Yer'd think, ter read the stuff they write,
that everything was blue
And that the good on earth was old and
all the bad was new.
They tell yer that no matter where their
weary feet may roam
They'll never find the comfort that was
in the dear old home"
They'll never sleep the way they slept
upon the good old bed
Nor never taste such nectar as the good
old pump once shed.
They'll never eat no cake that's light as
grandma's good old loaves;
They'll never see SIGH fires as roared
inside the good old stoves,
And always, at the end, they VOW they'd
give up fame and gold
Jest once ag'in ter revel 'mongst them
wondrous joys of old.
Well, say Fer years I've heard 'em
groan and sigh and weep and kick
Till seems if somethin' should be done
ter stop their suff' rims quick,
And as one mortal has ter fall that
t'other one may rise
I'll heave myself inter the breach and be
a sacrifice.
I've got ''dear old home" that's got
roof with many a peak,
And every separate gables got good old
fashioned leak;
I've got a lot of good old stoves that have
the good old ways
And either freeze yer ha'f ter death or
set the house ablaze;
I've got cornhusk mattress full of nub-
blss set in rows
And pumps that's dry all summer and in
winter time is froze;
In fact, there's everything, | jedge, that
makes life with the while,
And yet I'd give the hull thing up ter
make one poet smile.
That is ter say, if one should come who's
sick of gold and fame
Upon my martyr shoulders he can jest
unload the same,
And he can take my paradise, with all its
ancient charm,
And spend his days in joyful toll upon
the dear old farm"
And while, amid its comforts, he can
gayly scrape and rake
Ter make decent livin' | my fearful
way will take
Up ter the sordid city, where in some
hotel-the best
I'll live by easy stages and enjoy a need
ed rest.

A Sea Book.

Sir William Kennedy, called Sport in
the Navy" 1t is full of dlscursive
yarns, new and old.
There is the story Of the retired
boatswain who hired boy to call him
every morning at daybreak with the
words, '"The captain wants you" mere
ly for the pleasure of saying Tell
him l won't come" and turning over
and going to sleep again.
The force of naval discipline Is
shown in this true story of the captain
who, fatally smitten with cholera, was
being taken ashore to the hospital.
His men were rowing as slowly and
gently as possible, in order not to dis
turb him. The dying captain beckoned
the midshipman in charge of the boat
and whispered these last words:
'Ten days black list for the crew for
not giving way"
