Strange, is it not, that of the Authors who
Publish in England, such mighty Few
Make Success, though here they Hit?
The British Public knows Thing Two
By Revelations of the Past we've learn'd
The Yankee Author usually is burn'd;
All of our Story Writers say the Same;
The London Critic all their books has spurn'd.

Some clever Stories of my own to sell:
And by and by the Agent said to

Hither and thther pandering strive,
And by Talents disgraced.
The Scribe question makes of Verse or Prose,
But what the Editor demands he shows;
And he who buys three thousand words of drool,
He knows what People want-you Bet He knows!
The face Scribbler writes, and having writ
No Rules of Rhetoric bother him Bit,
Or lure him back cancel half Line,
Nor Grammars protests change Word of it,
And though you wiring your Hands, and wonder Why
Such slipshod Work the Magazines will buy,
Don't grumble at the Editor, for he
Must serve the Public cen You and l.
With "Pucks' first Joke, they did the last Life feed
And there of "Judges' Stories sowed the Seed.
And the first jokelet that Joe Miller wrote

FIRST MESSAGE
OVER THE CABLE

SEATTLE, July 15.-The first
message over the Puget Sound-Sitka
cable line came yesterday to Captain
Wildman, chief of the local United
States army signal corps Office, in
the Walker building, from Colonel
Allen, who has charge of the work
of laying the cable stating that the
Burnside will reach here Sunday.
The message was licked out over the
line when the Burnside was at sea
and was transmitted over the free
end of the cable. 1t went to Sitka,
was transmitted from there to Skag-
way and was sent here over the Cam
adian telegraph lines. When the dis
patch left the cable ship Burside
that vessel was far out at sea and
about $50 miles from this port.
Monday the Burnside will proceed
to Tacoma to take on her last con-
signment of cable. She will then go
north again, pick up the end of the
cable which extends from Sitka and
start on her trip back. The ship can
lay nearly $50 miles of cable day
when the weather is auspicious, and
it is expected that the line will soon
be completed to this city. Wires are
already laid from the signal office
to the Arlington dock, and as soon
as the Burnside arrives in port carry
ing the end of the cable, connections
will be made and the first direct COM
munication established with Sitka.

tion will begin with Seattle. A COM
mittee was appointed by the associa-
tion to inauugurate crusade against
filthy dairies, and the first battle
will be fought witEst the Seattle city
council. The committee holds that
body responsible for the conditions
existing here, and it is through the
council that it is proposed to work
the reformation.
DR.. Winslow, CHAIRMAN of the COM
mittee, says: "One Of the prime re-
quirements for pure milk is cleanli-
ness. In most of the local dairies we
have filth. The cows are covered with
feces, the milking is done in dirty
barns, the utensils used are not pro-
tected from infection by flies and
dust, and there is no regard for tenn
perature. However, conditions here
are not much worse than in other
cities.
THE temperature must be kept be-
low 60 degrees to prevent the growth
of germs, and the milk must be fresh
To secure an observance of these
rules we must have the law back of
us. The city council has failed to
provide this. The present law only
provides for tests relative to adul-
teration and the amount of butter
fat. What we must have is a city or
dinance requiring cleanliness, a stan
dard of bacterial purity, a mainten-
ance of proper temperature, and the

STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION To
START CRUSADE FOR PURE MILK

Drs. Grant S. Hicks ana l.. l.. Love
of Tacoma are members of the com
mittee appointed by the State Medical
association in Seattle yesterday to
make an investigation of the milk
supply in Washington The unsani-
tary conditions that exist in the
dairies in the vicinity of Seattle dem
onstrated that a sweeping reform was
necessary and a pure milk crusade
will be started at once.
DR.. Hicks says: There is great
need of such a move as this. The
dairies that supply milk in Seattle
are in fearful condition, and the
same condition exists in Tacoma.
This work will be taken up ali
over the state and the committee pro-
poses to start at once. What we In
tend to do is to get samples of milk
from every dairy and make a bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination. When we
have done that we will take steps
to have legal measures passed that
will compel dairymen to furnish pure
milk"
DR.. Love says: "I did not know
of my appointment on the committee,
but am glad that an investigation is
to be made. That is what Tacoma
needs.

ty Jail, will have to go to the state
reformatory if his fathers wishes

the stepmother of the little fellow
say that Warren is splendid boy

he runs away.
The officers are looking for a home
for the boy, SO as to avoid the reform
school if possible, and a request has
been received from the boys aunt
on his mothers side that he be sent
to her. Mr.. Brown of a children S
home in Seattle has also asked for
the child.
The officials hesitate about COM
hitting the boy to the reform school

SELL THE MINES

Judge Huston has issued an order
to sell all the property of the Mon
tezuma Mining company and the
Washington Cooperative Mining syn
dicate at 10 o'clock August 25.
Henry Bucey, who is receiver for
the two concerns, petitioned for the
order, and says that it is to the in
terests of the stockholders to make
such a sale.
The joint Indebtedness of the two
companies is $68,903.67. The mines
are being operated now with force
of 8 men.
The receiver says the $791 he has
on hand as working capital is not
sufficient to push the work vigorous
ly and that now, while the miles are
in operation, is a good time to dis
pose of them.

Then | went to two attorneys.
Each of them was unwilling to take
my case up. They said that I could
not do anything worth while, that the
authorities would not let anything be
done to the gamblers, and that l
could expect nothing but failure.
Neither of them wanted to bring suit
against the gambling houses, any
how, for fear that it would make
them objects of discrimination by
the gamblers and they would lose
business. One of them suggested a
divorce as the easiest way, but ]
wouldn't hear to such a thing.

which l can bring suit to get the

that women and children should be
made to suffer for the sins of the
fathers in gambling"

Settlement of Differences Receives Setback and
Strikers Become Impatient--PaCkers'
Terms Turned Down by the Union

CHICAGO, July 15.--After the re-

to their propositions, the packers
went into executive session to con
slider the statement, but adjourned
at once until later in the afternoon.
The strikers took up active work
and tentative orders were issued to
the stationary firemen to quit woSt
tomorrow, which will cause much dif-
ficulty in keeping the coolins plants
in operation.
Strike Breakers Arrive.
Order prevails throughout the
yards, although the arrival of small
bodies of strike breakers is frequent.

at work, and claim that they will be

but two of the packing companies are
killing today. The Armour company
put on 200 new men and Swift added
over 100. Both declare they can get
all the men they need.
The Armour company slaughtered
2,700 cattle today, Swift, 1000 hogs,
the National 1900 hogs, and Cudahy
800 hogs.
Everything continues quiet in the
packing district and meat prices are
stationary.
ST. PAUL, July 15.-Serious
trouble was feared here today at the
Swift plant. Eight hundred strikers
lined up this morning and refused to
let the office force enter, claiming
