MoccAsINs FOR SOLDIERS,
Inquiries Made by Representatives of Powers at War for "Bangor's
 Golden Slippers"

Inquiries have been received in Bangor, Me, from persons sup posed to represent either the Rus sian or the Japanese government concerning prices for moccasins in large quantities and the earli- est date of delivery at Atlantic or Pacific ports. It is supposed that the moccasins are wanted for sol diers campaigning in Manchuria. For that purpose they would be ! eminently suitable, says the New York Sun.
 The moccasin is the favorite footwear of the lumbermen of Maine, and was first made in Ban gor in 1851. At first only one or two styles were made, but now moccasins are manufactured in great variety, ranging from slip pers for women and children soft as kid and embroidered with 1 DcduS--lU tut SlOul UOOtS anu IdI- rigans of the Penobscot lumber. men.
 Much of the sewing is still done by hand, being let out by the piece to French Canadian families in the neighborhood of Bangor. All moccasins are made of specially prepared leather, rendered a gold en yellow by peculiar process of tanning.
 The common moccasin is not proof against water, but it has room for several pairs of stock ings, and that is strong point in it's favor. For keeping the feet warm and dry in cold weather the moccasin has no equal.
 The greater part of the mecca sin leather still comes from the place of it's origin, Pawtucket, R. l., although a considerable quantity is tanned in Bangor. Some years ago Bangor men es- tablished factories at Red Wing, Minn., and Racine, Wis.
 The dainty bath slippers, which are not really moccasins, but are made from soft elk skin, are in great demand at home and abroad, and are especially favored by the ladies of Japan, to which country Bangor sends large quantities. It now seems likely that "Bangor's golden slippers" as moccasins are called, may be worn by the con tending armies in Manchuria.

JAPAN's FIRST IRoNcLAD.
Her Crew Made Brave Start, But Couldn't Stop Her Till Fires
 Went Out.

That the role of Japan as a mar. itime power is a new one is brought strongly to our notice by recalling the quite we'll authen- ticated story of the first adven. ture of the first Japanese iron clad, says Country Life.
 She was built in England. While she was building her crew were also in England practicing, in other ironclads how to drive her. When she was finished the Japanese seamen took possession of her, bravely maintaining that they were fully equal to the task of starting her.
 And that, to be sure, they were, for she steamed out finely. The trouble only began when she came back to port again. Then, when they wanted to slow her down and stop her, they were unable to do so.
 They had to put her out to sea again and go on steaming her about till her fires went out, her engines stopped for want of steam, and she could be lowed in.
 From this to having the best mentally-equipped crews, perhaps, of any nation seems a long step, but it has been a yeryrapid one.

Insect Senses.

Naturalists have decided that many insects have senses which uman.beings lack. That of loca- tion, shown by the wasp, for in stance, is remarkable. One spe- cies builds it's nest in a sandbank that is only part of several acres of such soil, and when it leaves in search of food it covers the nest so carefully that no ordinary eye could discover it's location. That is to say it is just like all the sur rounding location, and yet the wasp flies back to it without he's itation and finds it without mak- ing a mistake. There is another wasp tfat unerringly locates the. eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are matched.

which, according to tradition were
buried with Mrs. Mary Livingston, the
generals wife. who died in 1855. It
is thought no attempt was made to
carry away any Of the bodies in the
tomb. AS yet no arrests have been
made but the officers say they believe
they can solve the mystery and punish
the criminals.
Only one metallic coffin remains i'm
tact. The others, which were Of wood,
appear to have crumbled into dust,
together with their contents. Stories
have been current in the river coun-
ties for nearly half century to the
effect that jewels of rare value were
buried with Mrs. Livingston at her ex-
pressed desire. and 1t is thought likely
these tales excited the cupidity of pro-
fessional robbers.

WONDERS AT APATHY.
Woman Puzzled at Lack Of Interest In
Oregon Mines.

Woman Puzzled at Lack Of Interest In
Oregon Mines.
A woman who Is n practical miner,
who owns large mineral interests and
who transacts her own business, Mrs.
Charles o. Andrew, of La Porte, Ind,
expresses wonderment at the apathy
existing relative to development Of the
mines Of Oregon. Mrs. Andrew says
she found in Chicago more general In
terest In the mineral resources Of this
state than among the merchants and
other than mining men Of the webfoot
metropolis. Mrs. Andrew but lately
came to Portland from the east, but
will make her home there. She is
quoted as having said recently in Port
land.
Il heard more in three weeks trip
to Chicago from my home at La Parte
OF 0regon's wonderful mines than l
have heard since / came here. Your
business men do not know, and II
appears to me as II they did not care
10 know, the mineral production Of the
state. have visited some of the min
ing sections of Oregon and am aston
ished at what see and learn OF the
great ore deposits of the state.
why Is It that Oregon has not
larger population than she has? Just
compare this state with Washington.
oregon was admitted to the Union in |
1859 and in 1900 is credited with a pop
ulation of 41S.5s6, while Washington
was admitted in 1889, and had a papu-
lation in 1900 Of 51S,1OS, or over 100, 900
more than oregon. claim 1t is to the
lack of push and energy OF Portland's
business men that this state of affairs
is due.
'"rhe same is true Of your mining in
dustry, and is equally applicable to
Washington, which has practically no
mines compared with Oregon. Yet
the United States government gives
Washington a greater output than
Oregon is credited with. Your mines
have not yet commenced to be worked,
at least, in the parts of the state
have been in. Why, II the holes your
people have abandoned in southern
oregon were in Colorado, they would
be producing mines"

PORTLAND ROSE CARNIVAL.
Committees Arrange For Floral Pa.
rade of Automobiles.

The rose show scheduled by the
Portland Rose society some time In
June, promises TO be the best the So
clety has ever given. A meeting of
the executive and advisory boards was
held yesterday afternoon In the lecture
room of the First Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Gill, who was appointed to see
the different schools about floats for
the floral parade, reported that she had
communicated with the following:
Portland academy, Portland high
school. Hill Military academy, Colum-
bia university, Bishop Scott academy,
Portland Business college, Behnke-
Walker Business college, St Mary's
academy and Holmes Business college.
DR.. Hill consented to provide five or
six-seated tally-ho with four horses.
Professor Behnke accepted, but from
the others nothing definite has been
heard.
Mrs. Dryden reported having seen
Professor Krohn about a drill for
school children, but he could not ac-
cept until he had seen Professor Rig
Ter. The only drawback is that the
show will occur near examination time,
and some of the teachers might OBJ
ject to the pupils participating. The
prizes will consist of cups, camera
and vases.
The following have been asked to
serve as judges Of the floral parade:
General Funston, Governor Chamber

Roosevelt as anIssue

Thus II an entirely correct demo-
cratic candidate like Judge Parker Is
to be nominated on purely negative
platform like that provided for him at
Albany last month, there will be no
serious issue before the country except
that OF giving or Withholding a vote

ment for re.electing Mr.. Mckinley

tlon of those items Of business. Cuba
is firmly established; civil government
in the Philippines Is a pronounced
success; Porto Rico enjoys free trade
with the United States, like Hawaii;
Cuba and the Philippines have re-
ceived tariff concessions; the war taxes
have been abolished; the army has
been reduced and recognized. Our
relations with foreign countries are
more uniformly agreeable than at any
former period. The Alaska boundary
question has been satisfactorily set
tied; the canal question is removed
from the sphere OF diplomacy; the
Monroe Doctrine has been well SuS-
tained in the settlement of the Nene-
zuela dispute, and American rights
and interests have been guarded In
the Orient without endanRering peace
full relations. The perfect neutrality
that our government observed through
the South African war, in which the
American sympathy was largely with
the Doors, is now maintained In the
Russo-Japanese war, although popular
sympathy is evidently with the Japa-
nese. In other respects, President
Roosevelt's administration has not
been lacking in striking Incidents and
achievements. The settlement OF the
anthraclte.c strike, the creation Of
the Department Of Commerce rnd La
Dor, the Northern Securities prosecu-
tion, the irrigation policy, such are
some OF the matters that have made
the administration noteworthy. But
perhaps the most important Of all for
