THE COLORADO POOL.

One of the suggestions made at yes
terday's meeting was a return to the
Colorado pool which was in existence
sought TO explain to the younger mer-
chants what was meant by that pool,
that it was a proposition to allow a
percentage to the jobber in proper
ton to the sales Made by him in COM
parison with all the sales made for a
certain time.
Possibly at Saturdays meeting the
subject will be gone more fully into
The agreement which is now in exist
ence between the Pacific coast mar-
chants and the Western Refinery is
life-saver to the small jobber. If the
compact is dissolved it is going hard
with the small dealer.
The meeting for saturday was called
by H. D. Loveland, manager for the
Pacific Traffic and Commercial Asso~
citation. The letter sent out by him
gives fairly good estimate of the sit
uation. but even at that no one can
hazard guess as TO the result of the
meeting. Following is a copy Of the
Loveland letter:

To MISUNDERSTANDING I learned

One hundred years of contact with
the white man has reduced the kama
kas to a 1.-THE of their original num-
bers. In another hundred years they
will be extinct. This is not the result
of cruelty or neglect. They have
never been conquered, they have new
er been enslaved. On the contrary,
the hope of forcing the kanakas to
labor was early abandoned. The mis-
sionaries sedulously guarded their
rights in the soil and provided them
with schools and churches in plenty.
The Hawaiians are dying beca use
there is no element of resistance in
the blood. They may be Caucasian in
origin, as some ethnologists dimly
guess, but they have been enervated
by long sojourning in a land where
nature gives lavishly everything es-
sential to life. The vigor of the race
has Iapsed with desuetude. The ka-
nakas readily succumb to the white
mans diseases and the white mans
vices. They give way before his SUI
perior industrial energy as the native
birds retreat before those enterprising
invaders. the Nina bird and the Eng
lish sparrow. The law of the survival
of the fittest does not spare them.

by manifestations of general dissatis-
faction on the part of some of our
members, such dissatisfied members
representing in the volume of their
purchases almost so per cent of the
total, the manufacturers felt that they
were in an embarrassing position and
contemplated notifying me that the
present plan would be discontinued on
December 15 by the withdrawal of all
selling agencies, substituting therefor a
net price without restrictions as TO
price, terms, etc. 1 requested that /
be given time to submit the matter to
our members before definite action was
taken, which request was granted.
I consider that the Importance of the
matter justifies the calling of a gen.
eral meeting and beg to advise you
that such a meeting viii be held Sat-
urday, December 10, at 10 a. M, in the
rooms of the Associated Wholesale
Grocers. 123 California street, this city.
The time is placed far enough ahead to
allow members in other cities to ar
range for representation.
In deciding the matter, the amount
which you have each received from the
association since its inception should be
contrasted with what you will be able
to realize under open market con-
ditions for the same period; but if our
work is to continue, there must be a
radical change of front on the part of
some of our members, who, although
signers of our agreement have criti-
cised and condemned, rather than sup
ported and helped to carry out.
1 think it proper to tell you, also.
that before receiving information as to
the action contemplated by the manu-
facturers. I had notified them that if
the fines which am assessing at this
time did not stop violations I should
be compelled to exercise the right CIV
en- me by the agreement to expel mem
bers who continued to disregard said
agreement. Very truly yours,
H. D. LOvELAND, Manager.

THEY HAVE THE SUGAR.

One advantage in favor of the trusts
rival is that the planters are among the
stockholders. The trust may have
more money than the Honolulu Sugar
Company, but the latter has the sugar.
It is here that the trust for the first
time in its experience may be jammed
The Western representative of the
trust must draw on the islands for its
sugar supply and the newcomers in the
field have the majority of the crop
tied up. Some little sugar comes here
from Java and some from Central
America, but there never has been
enough brought into the market to dis
turb the operation of the Western Re-
fnery With the boot on the other leg
that is, the trust fighting the products
of the islands--conditions might be diff
ferent.

THE TALE Of A WAR,
Continued from Page ~

Apart from the advent of the rival
refinery there are merchants who are
longing for an open fight even in the
handling of the products of the trust.
These are the men who have made up
their minds that some other jobbers
have been selling under The market in
violation of the agreement between the
merchants and the Yves ,erll Sugar Re
finery.
While this cannot be proved. there
are those who are certain that the work
has been going on The books of the
dereliet jobbers will not show that the
cutting has been done, for that would
be serious to the offenders. Manager
Loveland of the Pacific Traffic and
Commercial Association has the right
to examine the books of any member
at any time, and if there We're any re-
bate on sugar sold he would be quick
to discover it. But if the rebate on
sugar We're entered on the books as re-
bate on tomatoes or some other com
modify. how was Mr.. Loveland Or any
one else to get at the true facts?

PROSPECTS OF WAR.

There was quiet meeting of the
jobbers held yesterday afternoon to
discuss the situation as to the mains
tenance of the Pacific Traffic and
Commercial Association. This was a
meeting to anticipate that to be held
on Saturday morning at 123 California
street.
But little was accomplished at the
meeting, and the general impression is
that the sugar war is unavoidable and
that there will be an open market after
the 18th of the month.
The big jobbers want the open mar
ket, and the little jobbers will be hurt
if it comes.
If there We're an open market, if
there were no one-quarter of a cent
rebate. if merchant could sell his
staple for what he chose, then there
would be lively times On the street and
the greatest competition in the sugar
market ever known would be deveI-
oped.

Visitors Enjoy the
 Worlds Fair at Little Cost
First-cIass Accommodations Furnished for Thousands Within the Grounds. Reservations Can Be Made in
 Advance if Desired.

The folks who raise a hue and cry about the lack of accommodations at the Worlds Fair and the prospects of high prices at hotels, have had to take a back seat, for the Worlds Fair Man agement, keenly alive to the fact thas accommodations and moderate rates must be furnished to the people to assure the success of the Fair, have built right within the grounds a mag nificent hotel, capable of entertaining tens of thousands of visitors. This hotel, which is called The Inside Inn, surpasses in size, in general equip ments and in conveniences anything ever before attempted in the way of worlds fair accommodations. It stands in the southeast corner of the grounds 200 feet above the level of the city and is readily reached from the Union Sta ton by the Market St. Laclede and Couteau Ave. car lines. or from any of the Exposition gates by means of the Intramural Railway which passes its doors. It is three stories high, with broad verandas extending round the entire building. It is 400 feet wide and 500 feet long, contains 2,257 bedrooms and has dining-room capable of seat ing 2,50O people at a single meal. The inn is run on both the American and European plans, and the rates vary from $1.50 to S5.50 per day, European, and from S3.OO to $7.00. American, in- cluding admission in both classes. The range of prices Is determined solely by the size and location of the rooms-all guests having equal dinlng-room privi- leges. To those whose visit to the Ex- position must be short. the convenience of thus living within the grounds can not be oVerestimated. All wearfsome and annoying street car or suburban train service is avoided and no admis- sion fee other than the first is required. The saving thus effected Is obvious. The enormous capacity of the Inside Inn assures ample accommodations for all no matter when or in what numbers they come-and the rates will be found sufficiently elastic to meet every size of pocketbook.
 Reservations can be made for any period during the life of the Fair. An booklet, giving full details will be mailed to anyone addressing The Inside Inn. Administration Bldg, Worlds Fair Grounds. St. Louis.

Now. at the beginning of sum-, ,mer, is the best time to leave off the hat and let the sunshine pour It's only original hair tonic upon the head and the wind toss one's locks about accord ing to natures own shampoo method. One need not fear to be out of style go- ing hatless in the country. The wo-
 man with her pretty head uncovered save by natures own beautiful millinery is the vogue.
 It has been found that going bare headed in the winter will produce a 1uxuriant growth of hair upon any head where the roots are not altogether dead. In the Adirondack winter resorts for con- sumptIves invalids have become ancus- toned to walk out well wrapped up as to their bodies, but wholly unprotected as to their heads. At Saranac lake, even with the thermometer at 20 below zero. delicate women walk in the open air hat less. When the habit of going barehead- ed has been adopted in the summer and the head has gradually become hardened to 1t with the approach of the cold weather no cold. catarrh or neuralgia has been contracted. On the contrary, the chronic ailments of this sort that the patient took with her to Saranac have disappeared
 In the Adirondacks is a gentleman whose occupation. that of surveyor, takes him outdoors In all weather and seasons. For years this gentleman has worn no hat. winter or summer. Formerly he had neuralgia, which attacked him with agonizing pains, and he found no cure. It was suggested to him that he go with out hat for a while and try what this would do for him. He was at that ex- tremity where he would have tried any thing. and he adopted the suggestion. His neuralgia was cured entirely. Not only that, but incidentally he found in the course of few months that his hair was sprouting out thick and luxuriant. Perhaps the time may come when we shall venture back near enough to nature to walk in the city streets with un- covered heads. Then there will be no more bald heads. The invalid ladies who take their walks hatless at the winter mountain resorts experience, like the sur veyor, the regeneration and renewal of the head covering they were born with. When they return to their city homes they are enabled to point with pride to

THE HATLEss LADY
 IS FASHIONABLE.

Sometimes. after city woman has been in the country or perhaps in a camp in the woods for two or three months 1t suddenly comes over her all in heap how far away from nature we have strayed, we who flatter ourselves we are civilized. Is the Indian ever bald headed or does a bear or a buffalo need artificial head covering to keep 1t from taking cold" in winter? The tight fit- ting felt or silk hat of men is certainly responsible for the hairless skulls of so many of themI Must 1t be repeated for the thousandth time that nature meant the hair. and 1t only, to cover the head and keep it warm in winter, that when we bundle up our heads in stlff, air tight castings we stop the circulation of blood at the roots of the hair and starve them and then the hairs fan out, dead?
 It is a fact as old as the history of man that races who go bareheaded al- most altogether have hair as thick as that of the bear or buffalo Look at the Tagolos of the Philippines, the Ha- waiians or even the sturdy Italian wo- men. those who in our country preserve their national fashion of walking the streets bareheaded or with only light lace scarf thrown over their abundant black braids.
 If American women did not interfere with natures processes by wearing cramping, deadening, overheating hats and bonnets they too, would have hair perpetually thick and glossy They would never grow bald on top of their heads or around the temples. and they would not become gray nearly so soon.
 Luckily for the past two or three years fashion has permitted women to walk, ride and cycle hatless when they are in the country in summer. Marked bet. torment in health and improvement in their hair itself have resulted from the

Positive Proof,

 This convict had been serving in an exemplary way a long sentence, and in the course of his confinement he had fallen In love with one of the female prisoners. The woman returned his af- lection and some sort of dispensation was granted whereby 1t was made pos sible for these two unfortunates to marry.
 But when the pair appeared before the warden no proof was forthcominE of the death of the mans first wife. Though her village had been written to. the letter had been returned un- answered.
