Fearful Odds Against Him.

Bedridden, alone and destitute. Such
in brief was the condition of an old
soldier by name of J. J. Havens,
Versailles, o. For years he was troubled
with Kidney disease and neither doctors
nor medicines gave him relief. At
length he tried Electric Bitters. It
put him on his feet in short order and
now he testifies, "I'm on the road to
complete recovery" Best on earth for

MErA11UReY, WORLDS FAIR.
large areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the case, as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun
dreds Of different men, whose individ-
ual plots of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each individual owner may cult
vate and pick his own crop Of tea. :
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
Chop" ON the packages. Hence the
term "chop" signifies an individual
growth or picking Of tea by one owner.
In an area of tea land Of, say, thou
sands acres. all apparently under one
ownership, there may be some forty,
fifty or more owners of the plantation
and consequently a like number Of
"chops'' Of tea.
It must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity
from It, as each of these Individual tea
growers has his own secrets for inn
proving the quality and favor OF tea.
Take, for instance, the Annoy and Flu
ehau districts, whence most OF the tea
for the United States comes. The own
srs of "chops" Of tea varying from ~
to 200 chests Of 56 pounds each bring
samples Of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
| to the good Offices Of the foreign or
American professional tea faster, who
passes on the goods as to price. The
tea faster has the samples infused, not
boiled, in his presence and passes upon
the quality, favor, twang and manner
ot curing. fixing price accordingly,
from which there is never any var1a-
ton and which the tea grower must &C.
cept or go elsewhere to dispose OF his
wares. In single tract Of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from IA cents, the lowest, to
4s11 cents, the highest, per pound
amung sixty-one different tea produ~
GERS A matter of great moment that
also figures in the price of tea Is
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various chops"
blended together in order to produce
special favors.

I'd like to know which is the biggest,
the corporations which are the creation
of the people or the people who are
supposed to be the makers of their con-
stitution and laws and to hav things
accordin' to their tastes and inclina-
tions. It. looks like the big trusts were
gettin' to consider themselves above
and out of reach of all regulations and
statutes and that they could run things
just to suit themselves. Look how they
own whole states like Connecticut and
New Jersey and Wisconsin. Over in
Wisconsin two railroads own the whole
thing, legislature and all, and fix UP
laws to protect themselves in robbin'
the people and disriminatin' against
'em. I just like that man LaFollette
because he's got the nerve to stand up
and. fight this corporate gang and its
mercenary tools. ! hope he'll win out.
See how. it, goes in our own beloved
state, II The merger interests dictate
who shall be governor and who shall
go to the legislator and the merger
organs poke fun at all attempts to en-
force the anti-merger laws. All honor
to comrade VanSant for his noble and
heroic stand against the merger. His
name will go down the pages of history
full of praise and glory while those
who make light of his brave struggle
against the merger robbers will lie in
graves, unmarked, unhonored and un-
sung.

KATSURA ON THE YELLOW
 PERIL"

Just before leaving Japan Bishop McKim of TOkio, who is now in the United States to attend the general convention, received a request from Count Katsura, the prime minister to call upon him. In bidding farewell to the bishop, Count Katsura asked him to convey greeting to the people of the United States and to reassure them with regard to the possibilities of a yellow periP' as the result of the in creasing influence of Japan in the far east. Tt is true" he said, that we Japanese were born in. Asia, but that is a matter over which we have no con- trol. It is true, also, that our skins have yellow color, but that is the way God made us.' The count used the English word God" the bishop ex- plains, a most significant expression, as coming from him. While not a Chris tian, he is, on the other hand, not a Buddhist and during a long residence in Germany became familiar with Christian doctrines and the aims of the Christian church. Bishop McKim is confident that every Christian mis- sionary in Japan, as well as every for eigner familiar with the present con- dition of things and the sentiments of the government, will agree that the so- called yellow periT' is a myth He is firmly convinced that the progress of civilization and of Christianity in the far east would be promoted by the tri- umph of Japan.-The Churchman.

COMPLIMENTARY VOTE
How Captain Tevis Gracefully Com-
 mitted Political Suicide.

Captain Tevis returned to his happy home last night. All the boys who got left have a good natured story to tell about the suckers weakness and how the politicians perfidy brought disaster to their banners, but Caps the best of all, says the Tombstone Pros pector speaking of a late county con- Ventlon. Cap says that after he had looked the convention over he intimat- ed that he would draw out, when he was immediately surrounded by a host or influential friends who insisted that he stay in. Then he announced that It was his decisive intention to draw out, Whereupon practically the whole Blsbee and Douglas combination clos ed in around him and begged him with tears Tn their eyes as big as billiard balls to keep his name before the con Ventlon for supervisor, it was only a matter of form, the wild huzzas that would greet his name and the ballots that would bless his announcement would be gratifying to him and his pos terity even unto the fourth generation. At last he consented to accept. He went to several dozen delegates and asked them as a special favor to vote for his friend Vein, as he. the Can tain, had more votes than he knew what to do with. He wanted Vein to get a nice complimentary vote as he the Captain, had votes to throw at the birds. When the vote came the Cap tain got just ten votes. He said it took two horse doctors and cold shower bath to bring him to, and now at the advanced age Of 70, after being in politics all his life, he has learned all about politics.

ASTRONOMERS ATTENTIVE WIFE

The wife of Camille Flammarion, the astron0mer, never allows any one to cut her husbands hair but herself, and she uses the shorn locks for pillows. Her home in Paris is full of pillows stuffed with such clippings. Teles- copes, heliometers, sextants, astroIabes and other astronomical instruments are scattered all about among them. The Flammarions were married about thir- ty years ago, taking their bridal tour in balloon. In all the time since then the wife has been a veritable helpmeet to her husband She not only makes observations and calculations, but measures the distances of stars for him. At the observatory of Juvisy, which she helped him establish, she made studies of the planet Mars.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Sept. g.
For the first time since their arrival
in this city several communicates OF
knights Templars closed their hospita-
BILE doors today to all visitors. It was.
not because the store of good things
had been exhausted or that the gallant
knights were tired. They had Simply
stayed the limit of their time in San
Francisco and were absorbed in prep
arations for departure. The grand en-
campment practically concluded its
business today.
The ofiicial program of festivities
ends tonight, though few Of the COM
manderies will leave San Francisco
before tomorrow. Today was great
day for the exchange of badges and
souvenirs. Mechanics pavilion, where
the California Communicates have kept
open house, has been besieged all week
and thousands of bottles of wine and
as. many more baskets of fruit have
been handed out to the visitors. At
the headquarters of the Chicago, Pos
ton and Philadelphia commander ies
badges galore have been given away
and the punch bowls have been emp
tied again and again.
