FEWER BABIES IN GERMANY
Noticeable Decrease in Birth Rate,
Especially. in Cities, Shown in
oMcial Statistics.

Berlin.-Qhcial statistics covering 2s
years show steady and noticeable de-
crease Of the birth rate in the large cities
OF Germany, in spite Of the fact that the
marriage rat. is higher than in cities OF
less than 100. 900 Inhabitants and In the
country.
Berlin, which passed the 2.r00.000
mark In December, presents tho heav-
lest decrease IN the birth rate. From
1896 to 1900 it averaged ESQ. against 44.s
from 1875 to 1880, The highest birth
rate is in the great Industrial centers
Of the Rhenish province, In Essen the

The statistical bureau points out TINT
this portends considerable decrease in
the national birth rate, as the decline IN

sARDINE SEASON ENDED.
Maine Factories Have Put Up About
100000 Cases of Little Fishes
During Past Six Months.

PASSPORT, Me.-The sardine canning
business on the eastern Maine coast
closed December /, when the hundred
big plants were locked up for six
months.
In this city there are is sardine fac.
tories, and Eastport is known ~ the
home Of the American sardine, since It
was here that the first fish were put W
on this side of the Atlantic, more than
80 years ago. 1t has been . profitable
season for all the employees here. OF
the 5000 Inhabitants Of this city fully
5000 are engaged directly or indirectly
In the canning Of the sardines during the
six months season. The pay rolls In
Eastport have been as high as $4,000 .
week during the busy season, and with
herring plentiful for some weeks there
was good deal of night work, many
Of the employees managing to secure
from rs to 100 hours work week 1t ex-
cellent wages.
The pack of sardines on the eastern
Maine coast during the season promises
to be larger than for several seasons
past, and it is stated by experienced
packers of the goods that 1t might reach
100000 cases, but the official figures will
not be known for some weeks, sincs
they are now in the hands Of the stats
officials.

TO ANNEX KANSAS LANDS.
Hundred-Mile Strip May Be Trans
ferred to Colorado to Settle
Big Water Suit.

An attempt is being made to solve
the Kansas Colorado water suit, and If
the efforts of those most interested in
the case are successful, strip of the
western portion of Kansas about 100
miles wide, will be annexed to the
state of Colorado, and the litigation
now before the supreme court at
Washington will be thrown out.
Agitation along this line has already
started, and prominent politicians in
both states are making every effort to
get the passage of such a bill through
the legislatures. This, 1t is thought
by those who have gwen the irrigation
problem much STUDY, will obviate the
dlfhculty and benefit all concerned.
The strip of country in western Kan
sas which It is proposed to annex to
Colorado is that most affected by the
water suit. 1t is in the arid region OF
the state. and the irrigation question
is Of the greatest Importance to its
residents. To the east OF Dodge City
practically no water is taken from the
Arkansas river for irrigating purposes,
and the suit against Colorado was
brought for the purpose of securing a
sufficient amount in that portion of the
state extending westward from Dodge
City to the Colorado line.

REIGN OF TERROR NEEDED
Bernard Shaw Creates Big Sensation
by Savage Attack Upon Wealthy
Idle Of London.

London.-George Bernard Shaw, the
socialist, playwright, novelist, econo-
mist and borough councillor, has deliv-
cred Q speech in the heart of fashionable
London. and has savagely attacked the
wealthy idler class. In his arraignment,
which has created a decided sensation,
he said:
1.-THE only remedy for social evils is
the crude, simple one of equality. Some
people argue that it is impossible for
men to be equal, because they are neither
mentally nor physically equal Such peo-
pie should not be argued with; they
ought to be burned. That is the way to
treat people who think that mental and
physical equality is the same thing as
legal, political and economical equality.
I'VE are too squeamish about killing.
There 10 an immense number of people
living in Mayfair who ought to be guillo.
tined. There ought to be board like the
income tax commissioners before which
the rich ought to be compelled to appear
and prove that they have earned their
incomes. II 1t can be proved that any,
body takes money he doesn't earn he
ought to be guillotined.
"The burglar frequently obtains his
loot by as proper means as the people
from whom he steals obtain their wealth.
Moreover, the burglar is brave and clever.
He possesses qualities which have made
England famous. The thing to do is to
establish minimum income and compel
everybody to work forit. That minimum
income should be SUFFICIENT to make a
man decent member of society. Once
that was established it would be right 70
regard as criminal any man who proved
he could not be decent member of So
ciety. II anybody wanted an income
above the fixed minimum there would be
no harm in his having 1t, provided he
worked therefor A minimum income
Is the thing and believe it will play q
great part in the economic movement OF
the future"

Holden to Tour STATE.

Prof. P. G. Holden, of the Iowa State
college, at Ames, and George A. Wells.
of Des Moines, secretary of the Iowa
Grain Buyers association, have COM
pleted arrangements with the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad company to
make a tour of the state about the
middle of March, spreading the gospel
of good seed corn. Prof. Holden, Sec
rotary Wells and other noted Iowa ag-
riculturists will lecture on the subject,
and it is expected that a great amount
Of interest will mark the enterprise.
Stops of 80 minutes will be made at
each station and brief speeches will be
delivered by the lecturers. A schedule
will be published and notices of the
tour spread broadcast, so that every
farmer in the state will have an oppor-
tunity to profit by it. Many believe
that other roads will follow the lead Of
the Northwestern. thus covering every
section of Iowa.

CONSENT MAKES MARRIAGE
Preacher Inspired by a Breach Of
Promise Suit Delivers SEN
sational Sermon.

Quakertown, PA sermon which
may have been inspired by the breach of
promise suit of Miss Blanche Keck
against Rev. Edgar J. Heilman, of the
Wyndmoor Lutheran church, was
preached by Rev. F. K Fretz in st. john
Lutheran church. In part Pastor Fretz
said:
1.-THE tendency of the day is to treat en-
gagement VOWS as frivolous and joke.
Lat it be understood that, once man and
woman have pledged hand and heart, the
abandonment Of that pledge makes the
transgressor, in the sight of God, per-
5nrer.
Consent, and not ceremony. makes
marriage. The promise of marriage ia
as binding as the I WILL and not once in
10000 times is man justified in break
ing that promise No one has right to
plead he had made mistake. The spec
ter Of broken heart lying in the church
yard haunts many an otherwise happy

Especial Correspondence

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 26.-It is gen.
orally believed here that the ten bonds,
representing face value of $1,000
each, which have been offered to the
state Of Iowa by Philadelphia, sign
ing himself John James, are involved
in the scheme of a former United
States senator of another state to col
lect $20,000,000 in ancient obligations
from the southern states. The bonds
which concern Iowa bear interest
which, with the principal, make the
value of the documents about So, 900.
However, the Philadelphian points
out, these cannot be collected by an in
dividual, and if this state will under
take the task, the bonds will be
turned over. 1t is said that when the
senator was in office he learned of a
number of bonds which were outstand-
ing and, being uncollectable by a pri-
vate individual, he engineered con-
tract under which he was guaranteed
four per cent. of all he could collect ON
bonds of North Carolina Ten thou
sand dollars in these bonds were pre-
sented to South Dakota, and suit was
begun In the supreme court against
North Carolina for collection. South
Dakota won and was given judgment
against the southern state for $4,000.
It is declared that the senator hunted
up the holders of extensive issues of
southern state bonds and made con-
tracts with them for the collection of
their claims. Judgment having been
secured for the state, it is believed to
be the idea of those who represent the
collectors that they can set before the
government the fact that one class of
creditors cannot be paid without con-
sideration of another, thus bringing
about the desired result. In the South
Dakota case, judgment will be issued
early in 1905. Meantime it is believed
that disinterested states will be asked
to accept bonds in order that suit may
be begun in their names. Iowa is the
first state to receive the offer and will,
in all probability, reject it.
