The Land of No Pumps,

A vivid idea of the lack of the sim
plest applications of practical science
in at least some parts of China is
given by United States Consul Gracey
at Fuchau. In all that city, with it's
million inhabitants, he says, there is
not a single pump, nor even wind
lass or any other mechanical contriv-
ance for raising water from the wells.
Anybody who wants water must bring
his own pail and rope and draw it up.
Water brought from the river is car
ried on mems shoulders. There is no
such thing as a system of the crudest
sort. The whole of Southern China.

German Crown Prince Comma.

There has been some little stir over
a rumor that the kaiser intends that
the crown prince shall visit America
this autumn. The date of the depart
ure from Germany has not yet been
arranged, but from other whispers
there is some probability that the first
stop of the prince, who will make an
ACKNOWLEDGMENT cruise in a war
ship, will be at Newport, and the date
OF the visit September.

Showed Sample over Telephone.

Showed Sample Over Telephone.
One of the clearest cases Of absent
mindedness on record was enacted by
a leading grocer in this city recently.
Over the telephone came an order
from a wealthy customer for some
oranges to be delivered during the
afternoon.
What are the prices?" asked the
customer.
ooh, we have them at all prices,
from 20 cents dozen up"
well, I'm not particular about the
price What I want is the quality and
size"

TO the box containing his choicest
fruit, selected large, yellow sample,
and fastened back to the phone.

One Of the greatest, and certainly
one of the most agreeable, or my many
surprises was the extreme beauty of

simple reason that the camera does
not exist which could take in the

early views of the group-a bit here

Tariff Helps Trusts.

"The combinations, properly called
trusts, which aim to secure monop-
oily of trade in the necessaries of life,
as we'll as in those things that are en-
ployed upon the farm, in the factory
and in many other fields of industry,
have been encouraged and stimulated
by excessive tariff duties.
"All men must agree that the net
result of enacting laws that foster
such inequitable conditions is most
unfortunate for the people as whole,
and it would seem as if all ought to
agree that the effective remedy would
be to modify the offending law appro-
priately. The growth of monopoly, of
which complaint is justly made, can
not be laid at the doors of the courts
of this country. The decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
the Court of Appeals Of this state,
and the courts of last resort in many
other states, warrant the assertion
that the common law as developed
affords a complete legal remedy for
monopolies. The fact that they have
multiplied in number and increased in
power has been due not to the failure
of the courts to apply the law when
properly moved by administrative Off
Gals or private individuals. but to the
failure of officials charged with the
duty of enforcing the law to take the
necessary procedure to procure the
judgments of the courts in the appro-
pirate jurisdiction, coupled with the
fact that the legislative departments

cure any modification in the tariff
save that to which the Republican
majority in the Senate may consent.
While, therefore, we are unable to
give assurances of relief to the people
from such excessive duties as burden
them, it is due to them that we state
our position to be in favor Of rea-
sonable reduction of the tariff; that
we believe it is demanded by the best
interests Of both manufacturer and
consumer, and that wise and benefi
cent revision of the tariff can be ac-
complished as soon as both branches
Of Congress and an executive in favor
of it are elected, without creating that
sense of uncertainty and instability
that has on other occasions manifest
ed itself. This can be achieved by
providing that such a reasonable pc
riod shall intervene between the date
of the enactment Of the statute max

fccted by such revision to adjust it.

Household furniture there was

legged stools to accommodate the
members Of the family. There were
tablecloths of very coarse linen, but
neither table knives nor forks, the
fingers and spoons of either wood
or iron meeting all the requirements

china was unknown and as tea and
coffee had never been heard of. the

scoopins out hollow in a piece of
plank about 10 or 10 inches square.
