NO HARD TIMES.

A New York periodical which has
been trying 10 ascertain the feeling
among bankers. business men and
statesmen epitomizes these opinions
in two words, cautious optimism -
There is no apprehension FOR 1904, no
fear OF a panic. The last year was
one OF adjustment. liquidation and cur
tailment. Good times had been inter-
preted too literally. There was the
inevitable plunging. with the usual re-
suit. According to all the signs. as
well as the opinions Of competent
judges. we have no panic to fear. ano
likewise no boom with the uncertain
ties which usually follow.
The wholesale houses which are busy
taking future orders complain OF nc
decrease IN sales, and prices are well
Up to the average. The possibility of
war in the far East is steadylng the
provision markets which win be ap-
preciated BY farmers. Should war ac-
tually occur, which Of course we all
should regret, 1t would still further in
crease business and stfsien our mar
kets.
The hard times which calamity
howlers have regarded as due. show no
signs Of appearing on schedule time.
We are inclined to think that knowl-
edge that there will be no tariff re-
vision has had steadying effect and
the apparent certainty Of Republican
success in the next national election
will serve 10 encourage enterprise. In
any event there is no element OF un-
certainty since the election of a DEM
ocratic President and a Democratic
House Of Representatives would not
mean any radical legislation with the
Republican Senate as aNrheck.
A few months ago there were signs
OF hard times, and with the failure
Of several big trusts many looked for
tumble. But the worst feature was
that everybody was talking hard
times" which Is the best way TO get
it. But the West and South were
prosperous and refused TO get scared
and 10 grow pessimistic. Consequent
ly confidence has been restored; no le-
siumate enterprise has lost anything
and the future is full Of promise.

FOND OF THE GAME.
Secretary Hitchcock an Enthusiast
Over Amateur Base Ball.

If Secretary Hitchcock retires from the
head of the Interior Department on the 4th
OF March the amateur base ball players of
Washington will lose one of their most ar
dent admirers. Secretary Hitchcock is one
of those quiet busy American citizens who
take the deepest sort of interest in the
great American game. A year ago. when
the Church League first came to Washing
ton, Mr.. Scott-Smith Mr.. Hitchcock's con-
fdential clerk, who Is an ardent base ball en-
thusiast, noticed that when he put on extra
speed during the days the Washington
American League team was playing at
home, in order to get away from the de-
partment early and go to the game, the
Secretary also finished up his work as soon
as possible and left Mr.. Smith a great deal
more than usua! to do. Mr. Smith was at
loss for an explanation. as this was one
of the things his chief did not explain to
him.
OneNday one of the officials of the Church
League, knowing what an enthusiast Mr.
Smith is over the game,- prevailed on him to
attend one of the games between two good
teams of that league. Mr.. Smith journeyed
to the grounds where the game was be-
ing played and the very first sight that
struck his eyes was the carriage of Sec
rotary Hitcock. drawn up just behind the
catchers position and In it the Secretary
himself, settled back comfortably with the
Dig plack cigar III MS mouth, watching the
game intently. Mr.. Smith knew enough
not to interrupt the pleasure of the Secre-
tary at this stage of the game, but on
the next day he dropped casual remark
about the game and the Secretary came
back with his views Of the merits of the
various teams in the league. 1t developed
that the Secretary had seen every game
played on those grounds by the league from
the beginning of the season and knew more
about the ability of the teams to play
ball than his clerk dreamed Of his Knowing
Mr.. Hitchcock Is an enthusiast over clean
amateur sport and is of the opinion that
the real game OF base ball can only be
seen and appreciated when teams such as
those belonging to the Church League and
similar organizations compete. It might
be added that the Golfers of this particular
league are richer by several pennies as q
result of the Secretary's interest in the
game

ISLAND GOVERNED BY WOMEN.
Some Questionable Facts About the
Serbs of Tiburon.

From Public Opinion
This is not ancient history. neither nc
tfon culled from a woman's periodical, but
a fact In our day there exists an island,
it is true of modest dimensions, at present
inhabited by 400 people. although at one
time it contained 5,000-where women gov
ern and where men are in truth their
humble servants. This island has the name
of Tiburon, and. is situated in the Gulf Of
California, being inhabited by the Serbs In
dams, who live isolated because of pride,
and also because of religious rites which
forbid intermarriage with foreigners, even
though these be the Indinas of the MAIN
land.
The bad climate of the island compels the
people to endure long periods of hunger and
thirst. a fact which accounts for their trans
ports when they catch game. II this be a
pelican, wild animal. ETC., the Indians
throw themselves upon it, tearing their
prey with teeth and nails. and regaling
themselves with the blood and raw flesh.
The Serbs are all fine-leoking men, splen-
ditliy built and they do not have in their
| number any person who Is manned, weak
or sickly, for the reason that all children
who are born sick or weakly are pitilessiy
put to death.
The curious fact to be noticed. however.
Is that these vigorous men. who have re-
sisted the attacks first of the Spaniards
their wives. In their huts, formed OF the
trunks of trees, the mother of the family
exercises an absolute power. the husband
waiting in attendance at the door and being
the slave of the household. The husband Is
absolutely forbidden to interfere with or to
chastise his children. The government of
the island IL exercised by council OF ma
irons, invested with discretionary power,
and although the Serbs have nominal
chief this poor devil has not the right to
say word. not even in his own home.

Reducing the Liquid.

After having been purified by this meth
cd the juice is evaporated to syrup con-

forming series Of pans, each Of which Is

pears was opposed to the proposed transfer
ring of supervision over these institutions
from the board of charities to the Interior
Department. In support of this statement
quotation is made from a letter from Sena-
tor Mcmillan to the Secretary of the Inte-
rior in 1902 with reference to this bill is
found.
Among other things in commenting on the
proposition of the Secretary of the interior,
Senator Mcmillan said:
Il do not quite understand your point of
view, for l fail to see why the Interior De-
partment should desire to conduct institu-
tions entirely for the benefit of the District
of Columbia, especially as Congress has
provided a means for supervising these in
situations in the interest of economical and
intelligent administration of all the chari-
ties of the District.
The board of charities in 1872 also re-
ported adversely on the bill and the COM
missioners adopted the boards report as
their own on the bill. The matter was
again brought up last year, and the Com
missioners repeated their disapproval of the
objects of the bill.

Why Russian Soldiers Sing.
n the Nineteenth Century.


1t has been pointed out to me by an en-
lightened critic that must be mistaken in
describing the lot OF the Russian soldier as
an unhappy one. Russian regiments all
ways sing on the march," he explains. and
therefore, of course, the men must be
happy. He is perfectly right about the
singing Russian soldiers are always sing
ing; they sing on the march. they sing in the
train. they sing while they are eating thee
black bread and kapusta (sour cabbage).
they sing in the kharchevna public house,
have also seen gang OF over 400 prison.
ers in chains on their way to Siberia. and

ti0n and afterward In the train. suppose.
therefore. that they must have been quite

An American humorist has told us that
e. certain amount of heas is good for q
dog; he passes the day in scratching HIM

cry OF being dog. Ask the Russian SOL
dier why he Is always singing, and he Will
give you much the same reason. He passes
