Americans who have lived in Caracas
know that rates Of exchange between the
United States and Venezuela are high
there, owing to the unsettled conditions in
Venezuela, and that at times it is impOs-
sible to purchase New York exchange at
Caracas. On my final departure from
Venezuela as minister had money in a
bank in Caracas. I wished to convert my
Venezuelan money into United States
money, and I exchanged checks at the
posted United States government rates
with the manager. of3@the New York &
Bermudez company at Caracas, my check
to the company calling for Venezuelan
money, and his check to me calling for
United States money. It was a simple
business transaction. ~. ss,ss

The second charge made is that while
minister. to Venezuela I purchased a
claim of 10000 boliyars, or $4,000, against
the Venezuelan government, and then
used my influence as minister to collect
the full amount from the government. I

Florida are covered with luxuriant
virgin forests. The live oaks and the
bays are present in large numbers, in.

lemon and wild orange. The papaya.
the custard apple and the prickly ash
are OF very frequent occurrence, and
here and there, governed by the size

Seminoles, who hunt both the otter

R0ckefeller'S Failure In Life.

There may be some exaggera.ion IN
the moving tale that comes from
Cleveland portraying the sorrows Of
John D. Rockefeller. It bears some
indication of the skillful touches Of
word artist. But We believe the
statement, stripped OF its adornment,
that Mr.. Rockefeller is a wretched,
disappointed, solitary man, thirshng
for genuine sympathy and hungering
for an honestly kind word
Rocksfellsrs failure consists in be-
ing ton ssnceessful. he wanted
moneSEmc,s money than anycAe else
in the world. The evidence ispver-
whelming that Rockefeller sacrificed
everything aud every bsdy Tor money.
II ever %ofshiper was true to his
idol, this man vas true. i, an age
of materialism it was inevitsbie that
come man should loom above all 9TH
ers as the most successful, and John
D. Rockefeller happens to be that un-
fortunate. circumstances and his
own mental and more equipment com'
bined to facilitate his efforts to out
strip all competitors. In his prime
his mind was a remorseless machine,
perfect in operation, working cease
lessly in a single groove, and turning
neither to the right nor the left. He
had nothing but contempt for the hu-
man element-the sympathetic word,
the impulse Of generosity or forgive
ness, the bond of friendship. These
things tended to interrupt the work.
ings of the money making machine,
and he ruthlesslY thrust them from
him.
Now John D. Rockefeller is old
"the oldest man in the world, says
Miss Tarbell. He is the richest, and,
therefore, the most successful man in
the world. But time wears upon
weaker men and curious change is
noted in his temperament. Instead
OF being impervious to criticism, he
has become actually sensitive to 1t,
and spends much Of his time reading
the food of abuse that has appeared
recently concerning him. This gall
and wormwood he takes as medi-
cine-and surely it is bitter. he
finds himself an old decrepit, despised
bankrupt in the esteem of his fellows.
He receives bushels of letters-and
they breathe of cupidity, and fraud
and hypocrisy. He meets friends
and they nsuseate him with hattery
and falsehood. He cannot trust any
one. He is alone.
II the fates had conspired to raise
figure as mockery and warning
to the worshipers Of wealth, they
could not have improved upon this
living and solitary shadow Of man.
who must soon unclutch his hands
from his money. John D. Rockefel-
Ter with his wealth is pitiable figure.
What will the memory Of Rockefeller
be-stripped Of his wealth, Judged by
what he has done for his fellow-man,
as all men must be Judged ? All too
late he begins to perceive the failure
Of his success. With painful viola
tions of lifelong habit he tears away
a few millions and gives it to the
world. The world jeers and mocks
him 1t cannot be bought. So his
money is counterfeit. The old truth
is ground into his soul that money
will not buy happiness. "
A feeling of pity may rise in the
heart Of compassionate man in con-
templating the career Of John D.
Rockefeller. But he is cut off from
sympathy.

THE BATTLE OF THE YALU.
One of the Queer Incidents of This
Great Naval Conflict.

This strange incident of a great
naval battle was told by Commits
sioner McGiffin, of one of the Chinese
warships in the battle of the Yalu
between the Chinese and Japanese
fleets in 1894: About this time the
Chilli Yuen boldly il somewhat fool
hardly, bore down upon the Japan
ese squadron's line. Just what hap
pened no one seems to know, but
apparently she was struck below the
water line by heavy shell, either
a 10-inch or a 13-inch. Be that as It
may, she took a heavy list, and, thus
fatally injured, her commander, Tang
Shi Chen, most courageous albeit a
bost obstinate officer, resolved at
least to avenge himself and charge
one of the largest of the enemys
ships, intending to ram.
"a hurricane of projectiles from
both heavy and machine guns swept
down upon his ship. The list became
more pronounced, and just before
getting home to his intended victim,
his ship rolled over and then plung-
ed bow first into the depths. She
TlBnleQ nerSeiI as Sne sank, her
screws whirling in the air and carry
ing down all hands, including her
chief engineer, Mr. Purvis shut up
in the engine room. Seven of her
crew clung to one of the circular life
buoys kept on the bridge and were
drifted by the tide toward the coast
where they were rescued by a junk.
''Stories told by these men vary so
much as to be unreliable, but all agree
OH one incident: Captain Tang had. a
large dog of most vicious temper, un-
ruly at times even with his master
After the ship sank Captain Tang,
who could not swim, managed to get
an oar or some small piece of wood.
This would have been enough to sup
port him had not his dog swum to
him and, climbing up on him, forced
him to release his grasp. Thus he
miserably drowned, and the brute
shared his fate, perhaps the only case
on record of man being drowned
by his dog"

WALDO WHEAT FOOL.
Farmers viii Place Wheat in Pool and
Sell In LuaAp.

Salem. June 2S.-It is estimated
that 156,eo0 bushels will be the ap-
proximate amount of the grain pool
that is to be established in the Waldo
hills district this year. This is the
eighth year of the pooling of the
grain of that country by the farmers
and it is figured that the usual good
prices that have come as a result of
the pool will obtain again this year.
Those who are entering the pool do
not flatter themselves that last years
prices will be secured because of the
large crop that is sure to be harvest
ed, but they are confident a better
price can be secured through the pool
than by selling from individual stores
A meeting of those interested in
the proposed pool this year is to be
held at Rock Point tomorrow after
noon, at which it is expected, every
farmer in the Waldo hills district will
be present, either in person or by
representative. These cen will rep
resent at least 10000 bushels of
grain, and It will all be consigned t.
the annual pool and will be sold in
lump, as in years heretofore.

ECONOMY is URGED.
Hitchcock Issues Circular Letter on
Rubber Bands.

Hitchcock Issues Circular Letter on
Rubber Bands.
Speaking of economy says the
Washington Dispatch, it is we'll to
call atteition to circular letter is
sued by none other than Secretary
Hitchcock himself. After seven
years at the head of the interior de-
partment he has at last discovered
that his department is extravagant
in the use of rubber bands, station
cry, and supplies and has accord
ingly issued orders to his clerks to
please be more careful in the future
in their use.
The circular follows in full:
THE attention of the heads of the
bureaus and offices of the depart
ment is called to the constant in
crease in the expense for printing and
binding, stationery and various office
supplies. 1t is directed that hereafter
all acquisitions for supplies be care
duced as much as possible before
being approved and forwarded to this
department.
"It is believed with care a great
reduction can be made in the expen-
ses for supplies in each of the several
classes without embarrassment to the
service.
1T is found that the expense for
the one item of rubber bands has
become very large, especially on ac-
count of increase in cost. Greater
economy must be observed in the use
of them and less expensive substi-
tutes used whenever possible"
