The HOWL OF Vvarn,ns

Roaming again through the crowded
streets of Palestine, find that tbe
same merciless tribal bitterness and
mortal enmities which were once rife
among the North American Indians are
prevalent among the dogs Of the east
As each Indian tribe owned its own
territory and in time of war it meant
death for member of one tribe IN he
found wandering about in the "land OF
strangers so the dogs of the east take
possession Of the different streets of
the great cities. Each canine tribe has
its sentinels standing guard mt the end
OF the streets. Then If one dog of an
other tribe enters that street the howl
OF warning is given. At once all the
other dogs Of that tribe leap to their
feet and, as pack of hungry wolves. I
make n mad rush for that stranger 70 /
tear him limb from limb.
We must study my text in the canine
language Of the east. Old hunters tell
rs that no man has truly heard lion

jae forest sound his call Of defiance
IN tlH dark jungles of the A African con
tiHeat. Then the. awe striking power
of That voice seems to come from ev-

The echoes as the battledoors throw

trlcken to move. Like the roaripg
ions in the African forests are the
owlines of the dogs in the streets of
damascus and Jerusalem. When one +
anime tribe plunges upon a dog of an. s
ther tribe which wanders into their q

The Mania of the Sucker,

The whole world is looking for per cent on it's money-the world of capi- tai, that is. Any investment which could assure a return of per cent per annum would be covered with an ava lanche of subscriptions from the shrewdest business men in the world. The brightest minds everywhere are all the time searching for investments and speculations from which a mod crate profit may be expected. If there were honest means for getting rich quick" such means would have been discovered long ago. It is extraordi- nary that these fundamental facts are steadily overlooked by a great number of people. One scoundrel after another announces that he has a mysterious way of investing money and getting enormous returns therefrom, and fm- mediately a clamorous multitude in- sist upon leading him down with dol lars.
 Newspaper accounts have been printed within the past fortnight bear Ing upon the disappearance of a so- offices of an alleged financial concern that stood sponsor for a remarkable corporation which for brief time gave its stockholders fairly phenomenal re- Bradstreet's. Moreover, the victims appear to have been rather numerous, being principally selected in rural com munities, where the large returns served as an effective bait. This, of course, is no singular instance, though the parties conducting this latest of get-rich-quick concerns added some of a personally conducted financial journal for the purpose of booming their enterprise. In this, as in other cases of the same kind, the question naturally arises why people possessing means and, to all appearances, a cer- tain amount of business experience should have accepted the assurances of individuals who were unknown in the world of finance, and whose po- sition could have been ascertained through the ordinary channels used by merchants in determining the credit and standing of those with whom they propose to have dealings of a,imere mercantile character. Wall street itself has. of course, cost the investing pub lie great deal of money in the last few years, and it is not to be denied that part of the disinclinationg now

Remembering Cervera, at Last.

Six years after the Cuban campaign of the Spanish-American war memo rial is being sent to Admiral Cervera of the Spanish navy, expressing the appreciation of prominent Americans of his sending word to the American fleet | that Hobson and the crew of the Mer- rimac had been rescued and would be kindly treated until they could be ex- changed. A dispatch from New York | announces that Arthur Bird, editor of The Sidney (N. Y.) Record sailed a few days ago on a steamer fer Spain to carry the elaborately engrossed testi- monial to the old Spanish admiral, who is now at his home in Cadiz.
 The memorial is thirty-six by forty eight inches and is handsomely framed. The American and Spanish flags are crossed at it's top, and the coats of arms of the respective coun tries occupy the corners. Then comes the resolutions which formally convey the thanks of the American people for his kindly act on June 8. 1898. when
 
 flag of truce and presented his cOmpli- ments to Admiral Sampson in the outer harbor of Santiago, Cuba, telling the American admiral that the crew of the Merrimac were alive, well and would be kindly treated until they could be returned to the American lines or ships.
 There are sixty-four signatures to the memorial, including twenty-two governors of states. presidents of uni versailles. editors of leading newspa- pers, mayors of the large cities and former cabinet officials. Many of the signers have forwarded letters eulogiz- ing the Spanish admiraTs conduct. These will be presented with the me morial.
 MT. Bird recently received letter from Admiral Cervera, in which he said that he did not have words at his command to express his appreciation of such a tribute. He especially appre- ciated its coming so many years after, which showed that it was done after mature deliberation. Mir. Bird carries a letter of introduction to Admiral Ger vera from Captain Richmond r. Hob son, and will spend several weeks in Spain

There is, however, no reason why investors, large or small, who are at distance from New York. should be taken in by any ordinary kind of swindling operations, especial ly where such glittering promises of the payment of extraordinary large dividends are made which should at once create suspicion and lead to the inquiries which would in practically every case be a safeguard against losses of this kind.''

 Never resting. the brave little spark takes to the. water again. traverses the broad Arabian sea to Alden (,s5i miles). threads It's way up the scorch- l ing Red sea, flying ever westward, to Alexandria Q,534 miles). And from Alexandria 1t travels deep under the balmy Mediterranean to Malta. out to Lisbon, and so to London (S,2O5 miles). and thence across the Atlantic. All the telegraph lines in Japan are owned by the Japanese government. and censorship of messages is, there fore. easy.
 Moreover. until a few weeks ago press messages handled in Japan had to be paid for In cash A newspaper correspondent had, therefore, to pro- vide himself with large sums of money, which is extremely inconvenient. Now the Japanese government has conceded that point and allows the telegraph companies to take the risk of payment upon themselves and collect the money from the headquarters of the newspa- pers on this side.
 There is a varied ownership of the eastern telegraph lines. At Nagasaki, the "taking-off" point for the mainland, messages are trans ferred from the Japanese government lines to the Great Northern company (Danish). and cross either to Shang- or Vladivostok. From Vladiyostok the Northern companys line follows the railway track across frozen Siberia to Libau. on the Baltic. But, as already stated, few of the American press messages take that course.
 At Shanghai begins the cable of the Eastern Extension company, and the eastern cable takes up the thread at Bombay. F'rcm Bombay. also, the Indo- European line starts away and travels overland by Bushire and Teheran, Tifiis. Odessa and Warsaw to Berlin and to England.
 The American Commercial Pacific cable goes to the Philippines, and does not touch Japan. The possible routes for the direct transmission of news from Japan are, therefore, but two in number-the overland Russia route and the coast route via India and the Mediterranean or India and Europe.
 It is generally supposed that war brings a time of harvest to the pa pers that print the news. This might be so if a great war were at our doors, but~it is exactly the contrary in the case of the Russo-Japanese war. Cable tolls from the West Indies and from the Philippines during the war with Spain made up a heavy financial burden frr contemplating newspapers. but that war lasted but a few weeks. a marker" to the cost of handling the eastern war. It is small wonder there fore, that the yellow" journals fake war news outrageously. For example. the day following the great battle at Nanshan hill, Kinchow, the papers owned or served by certain presi- dential candidate printed about four columns of graphic details of the bat tie. Adjectives and adverbs Cat 65 cents per) and thousands of words of thrilling description, the product of home imagination, were furnished law ishly. All of which goes to show that while the Associated Press dispatches in The Republican may not describe the war operations as fully as readers would like, they give all the facts that are obtainable.
