WHEAT AROUND THE HORN.
Cargo HBay he Sert From Portland
to New York.

Rumor has it that the American ship
Shenandoah has been chartered to
carry cargo of flour and wheat from
Portland to New York. All the shippers
have heard the report, but while pro-
tossing to know nothing of definite
nature, appear to believe that it is true,
says the Oregon Daily Journal
The Shenandoah is lying at San Fran
cqco and could be got here in short
order. She is Of more than 5000 tons
net register and has an actual carrying
capacity Of more than 5000 tons. If she
he's been engaged for the purpose
named 1T is for the purpose of assisting
the railroad companies in getting the
heavy -four and wheat shipments east
There has been talk for severe
months OF dispatching cargoes around
the horn, but the difficulty standing IN
the way of the venture, it was cited,
was the lack of American tonnage on
the Pacific coast.
While suitabl e American tonnage is
said to be scarce in these waters, there
are a nun Der of vessels OF the descrip.
ton desired at San Francisco, and it is
generally believed that a movement is
on foot to place them in the -four
and grain trade between the Pacific
coast ports and the Atlantic ci'ies.
1t is declared that such course is
the only solution of the problem to dc :
liver the orders that have already beer
placed for Pacific coast wheat and flour.
The statement is made that the rail
road companies are unable to handle all
the traffic, and being convinced of this
fact many of the local -four dealers have
not attempted to make any further
sales to eastern buyers.

the Miner from Harlem, Mont, says:
A large prairie fire has been raging

1t is said that the fire started over the
Canadian line Monday afternoon, and
during the terrific windstorms Of Tues
day and Wednesday has moved with
startling rapidity over into the Ameri-
can possessions, from which all kinds
of antelope, deer and other wild ami
mails have fed for their lives in all d-
rections. The fire is pl.inIy visible to-

Thousands of sheep have had their

MURDER is RIFE.
Crime OH the Increase I'm United
states.

New York, Nov. 24.-There are at
present four and half times as many
murders and homicdes for each 1,0O0,-
600 people in the United States as there
were in 1881. With this statement of
fact, based upon statistics, S. S. Nc
Clure makes startling showing OF the
increase of lawlessness in this country,
and follows with stinging criticism OF
the reign of terminal ollgarchy," of
chronic infraction of the law by many
classes, of general failure in the en-
forcement of the statutes, to which
causes the condition is attributed.
Comments on the prevalence of crime
and lawlessness taken almost at random
from representative and serious news-
papers and from published statements
of Judges and citizens iorm the support
ing evidence.
In the United states last year there
were 1916 murders and homicides in a
population of about 100000 In
1881 when the population was $780,
600, there were only 1866 crimes of this
c'ass. The high record was reached in
1896, when there were 1864 murders
and homicides in population OF TO-
600 600. In 1899 conditions i proved, i,
but since then they have steadily grown
worse.
Conditions in Chicago are strikipgly
set forth by comparisons with the Grim
inal records OF the two leading cities Of
Europe. London, with an area OF 6SS
square miles and population Of $780,
600, had "a murders last year. There
WAS no "unJscovered crlme," as the
murderers were all arrested except in
four cases, where they committed
suicide.
Chicago, with less than one-third ol
the population and area covered by the
London or metropolitan police, had l2s
homicdes. In Is cases the murderers
were killed at the time of the crime O,
committed suicide; four other caset
were those of officers who did the kill
ing in the performance of their duties
leaving 100 cases for the police to work
upon. Out OF that number "a conyic
tions were secured, while in 10 cases ne
arrest was made, and in So cases ar
rests did not result in conviction
Only one man was hanged in Chicago
In Paris only Is murders or attempted
murders were committed in the same
period. More than eight times Al
many murders in Chicago as in Paris
six times as many as in London.
The loss OF life through crime is mad
more prominent when compared will
fatalities in war and on railroads. Ii
three years the homicides in the United
States numbered 81 1896. The British
loss in the Boer war was 22,00O. Il
the same period there were killed Of
railroads 21 ,S47.
Labor troubles, the burning Q
negroes, lawlessness in Colorado, riot
and murders in New York are referre
to in detail.
Distinguished jurists and educator
are Qroted as saving that the increas
in lawIessness endangers the future c
the Nation.

illness, that feeling that what we
are and do makes no difference to
any one, and that nobody cares.
Grand: And yet many a sin and
many a bitter moment may be
traced to this very feeling nobody
cares. Thousands say il, and hun
dreds feel it, in their work, their
business, the street--there they are,
and nobody cares any more about
them than the policeman cares
about the crowd he disperses with
a pass away, please, " or cares
any more than he does where they
pass away to. You may have read
the story which came out in the
Century, some time ago, called
An Inland Story; or Soreness Ex-
perience. The story is this, Serene
loved and lost, and nobody cared.
Sent away for a change, she is de-
layed at a wayside station, and
wanders aimlessly into an open
church. At least she prays, Lord,
make me to stop caring, but if you
can't, then show me that you care.
I'm not happy. If l could feel and
know that you cared, I think
might be happier" Serene is not
the only girl who has gone through
that experience. Nobody cares,

THE GOOD STATE OF
MAINE.

Recently published statistics
show a remarkably small number
of homicides in the state of Maine,
IN proportion to the population
which IS 700, 600. For the ten
years ending with 1901 there were
but sixty-four homiCides in the
entire state, being recorded as fol-
lows: In 1892, 3, including one
infanticide; 1898, 1; 1894, 8; 1895,
6: 1896, 8, including two non
residents killed OH the high seas;
1897, 4; 1898, 6; 1899, 9; 1900, 10;
1901, 9, including one infanticide.
This is such a remarkably good
showing that one naturally won
ders if there be any peculiar condi-
tons existing in Maine which tend
to quiet human passions and make
life safer than in other states of the
Union. In this relation there are
two facts which may be considered
perhaps as having some bearing
upon the matter. One of these
facts IS the existence of a liquor
prohibition law in Maine. Advo-
Gates of the prohibition cause may
assume with some reason that the
fact of the sale of liquor being
forbidden in that state may bel
considered as a factor Ill the
maintenance of law and order !
within its limits. The other fact |
which may or may not have a bear
ing in the matter is->tbat> capital
punishment is forbidden by thef
laws of Maine. Whether this lat
ter fact may be considered as having
any influence III controlling the
passions of men, or creating in
them a greater respect for the
rights of their fellow men could
probably only be established by
comparing the results III a number
of states or coutries having similar
law with those in which the death
penalty is maintained. The fact
that there was a much greater
proportion of hOmicides III Maine
when the death penalty was in
force may or may not tend to estab-
lish the theory. The existence of
these conditions i'll the state of
Maine, in connection with the very ,
small number of homicides in the !
state, however, may we'll furnish
food for thought on the part of all t
lovers of law and order. ,

A Chapter for Young Women.
RESPONSIBILITY

Written for THE HERALD.
In this chapter, I am to talk
about responsibility. And I will
say my say in one word My" a
good old-fashioned possessive pro-
noun which just expresses the
thought l want to give, viz:-pos-
sessive pronouns are pronouns of
responsibility. The moment we say
Ny" we incur a responsibility,
my home, my school, my COVER
ness, my pupil, my work, my
shop, my dog, my bird-every
My" implies a responsibility, the
responsibility of possession. And
first myself, self-possession. I am
responsible for what I am, for
what I seem. The very compound
of self shows it, acknowledgment,
self-abandonment, self-deceit, and
50 OH; they speak of responsibility
Self conquest, perhaps best illus
trates the thought. I am respon-
sible for it. 1t IS the primary test
of nv fitness for any responsibility !
And it is 4 hard fight, a regular |
tug war between my higher and |
lower self.
Whatever else is responsible for
me, 1 am responsible for myself,
my temper, my moods, my jealous
les, my peeYishness, my behavior
at home, in business, in places of
In a sense we are our
own to do as we like with, to will |
ourselves in self-consecration, to
the highest.

acter with personal attire, You get
the same thought i'll Tennyson' s
poem, The Lord of Burleigh, "
disguised as a landscape painter,
a noble Lord wins and weds a vii
b1age girl, takes her to his noble
mancion" and dresses her as a
noble lady" But the girl is never
at home in her grand clothes. Her
habit" never suits her habits. y
You remember the rest, she dies: -
Yes My clothes affect my char
acter." Isn't it true? Doesn't a
careless indifference to dress, a
ship-shod appearance, often mark
the beginning of a girls loss of
self-respect-that very life blood
of woman-hood? And doesn t an
exclusive devotion to dress lower a
girl S whole tonel It is said that
men dress to please themselves,
but women dress to please others.
If so, the women have the best of
it. Of course we dress to please
others. Why not? This is why
dress is so tremendously important
not important-clothes convey
impressions and We are responsible
for the impressions we give, though
we must not be always thinking
about the impressions we make.
Ny faults: Now I'm going to
say something you won't like. l
am responsible for them or for the
most of them. l have no right to
shift them on to others, or to hered-
ity, or circumstances or the try
ing condition of my life. A parents
fussiness or inability to understand
is no excuse nor are a sisters jar
ring ways, or an employers harsh
ness and tyranny. My faults are
my own and it's mean to shirk
them.
My neighbor: The fact that he
is my neighbor gives him a claim
upon me. I cannot separate my
interest from my own.
There is no such thing as indie
pendence. An illustration will ex-
plain; the story of the Prince I'M
perials death as told in Life in /
the Tulleries, . by Anna Bicknell.
Prince Imperial was the son of
Empress Eugene, Empress of
France, and joined the British Ar
my in 1881 England was at that
time at war with the Zulus. The
story runs this way: the Zulus are
upon him. His one chance of es-
cape is to mount his horse. He
seizes the leathern band crossing
the pommel; the band breaks. The
horse bolts, the prince is killed. 1t
turned out that the leathern band |
was not leather at all but paper /
faced. Thus, for all we know, the
fate of the Prince, the destiny of i
France, the history of Europe may /
have been changed, and all because
Of a bit of shoddy saddlery by an
unknown workman in an unknown
shop. How little that
man thought how much depended
upon his work. Just as little do
we realize the responsibility of our
own commonplace lives-the dull /
the routine in the shop, /
he little tempers at home Re-
member upon the well doing Of
zach depends the well-bei1g Of all.
