STRAWBERRIES FOR RHEUMATISM
Despite the Tradition, Some Say That
They Are Curative.

That Strawberries are injurious 70
rheumatic persons is as old a tradition
as that tomatoes Cove apples) are con-
ducive to love. But against science no
tradition is safe. 1t is now asserted
that the strawberry is the real thing;
in food for rheumatics. Linnaeus. it is
said, kept himself free from rheumatism
by eating strawberries. Fontenelli. an
other naturalist, attributed his longevity
to Strawberries. He resorted to them
as a medicine and would frequently
say: IF l can but reach the season Of
Strawberries"
Borheave is said to have classed the
strawberry with the principal red fruit
remedies containing iron as well as
phosphorus, salt, sulphur and sugar.
1t has long been tradition that the
chief demand for horse chestnuts has
come from persons who believe in their
efficacy as a cure for rheumatism. or at
least a palliative in rheumatic affections.
Strawberries have heretofore been
barred. but if they have all the merits
now claimed for them, or indeed any of
the merits. the bars will be down and
will stay down permanently York

Calamity" a Regimental Pet.

BY Lieut. Col j. A Watrous. L. s. a.
Soldiers and sailors, the world over,

This remark was made by one who had
served both in the army and the navy,
and as sailor had been to nearly all
part, of the world reached by water

lar regiments, hut have never been in 4

there were not pets OF various kinds.
In all my experience | never saw one of

The talk of my old friend set memory
20 wandering back to the days when
there were thousands of regiments in
this land. do not recall a Federal regi-
ment in the days of the Civil war that
did not have from one to a dozen pets.
In conversation with Confederates they
have said that their regiments always
provided themselves with interesting
pets Dogs We're the most generally ac-
ccpted but by no means always.
Wisconsin had a regiment of world
wide fame because OF ITS pet eagle, "Old
Abe" who started with it and was with
it throughout the entire term of service.
The bird was a friend to every member
of the Eighth Wisconsin, but would
strike at any other soldier who came
near it, odd Abe" lived many years
after the war and always had the care
and attention of an ex-soldier whose duty
it was to see that he lacked nothing in
the way of food or protection, and who
always accompanied him upon his tours
about the country. 1t will be remem-
bcred that there was Il constant demand
for Old Abe's" attendance upon conven-
tions and reunions. He visited nearly
every northern state in the performance
of these duties and never seemed to be so
we'll satisfied as when travelling about
the country, meeting the men who had
been his friends and admirers during the
great war He attended the convention
in Chicago that nominated Gen. Grant
for president in 1868.

SAID NORWAY CANNOT ACCEPT
THE CONDITIONS.

CHRIS1IANIA, Sept. 1.-THE
tone of the Norwegian newspapers
indicates that the negotiations be-
tween the commissioners of Nor
way and Sweden regarding the
dissolution of the union have
reached an impasse, Norway being
unable to accept the conditions laid
down by Sweden.
The "Dagbladet" commenting
on Sweden's refusal to discuss an
arbitration treaty until Norway
had accepted the swedish condi-
tions, declares that even war
would be preferable to. peace
bought at the expense of national
humiliation.
The papers publish a report that
Russia is seriously considering the
establishment of naval port on
the Murmanian coast, probably at
Alexandrovski.

RENO (Nev.), September 19. =
Four trains, two passenger and two
freights, are reported in the ditch
at Harney, small station on the
Southern Pacific between Battle
Mountain and Winnemucca, about
$50 miles from Reno. The report
was confirmed from the dispatch
er's office at Sparks tonight.
Eighteen hours late the passen.
ger trains wrecked at Harney ar
rived in Reno this evening. In
nearly every car of one section in
jured passengers were being cared
for. They are being taken to San
Francisco for treatment. The in
vestigation into the cause of the
awful smash up is now in progress.
Indications point to the fact
though this is not given out by the
railroad ofiicials-that responsible
ty will be placed either upon the
train crew in charge of the third
section of the passenger train or
the fagman sent out by the second
section. The hagman, whose name
is withheld for some reason, went
back eleven telegraph poles, plac-
ing torpedoes and waving his lam
tern. After he had, as he thought,
tagged his train he started back.
The scene of the wreck is around a
curve. On his way back he heard
the report of a torpedo, and the
next moment the train, with all
brakes applied, dashed by him and
into the rear coach of the second
section.

PAXTON SUCCEEDS ROLPH.

HONOLULU, Sept. 25.-Elmer
E. Paxton, formerly with B. F.
Dillingham; & Company, is to sue
ceed Geo. M. Rolph as assistant
manager of Alexander & Baldwin,
and secretary of the various Alex
ander & Baldwin corporations.
Mr.. Rolph leaves tomorrow by
the Sonoma for San Francisco to
take the management and control
of the Crockett Refinery and carry
on the refinery business for the
Sugar Factors Company. This
will include not merely the opera
ration of the refinery, but the mar
keting of the product, the securing
of customers for the refined sugar
which will be made. In addition
there are the beet sugar interests
in California connected with the
refinery which will supply a part
of the raw product of the refinery.
Mr.. Rolph is secretary and a di-
rector of Alexander Il Baldwin as
well as of most of the sugar planta-
tions and other corporations owned
and controlled by Alexander &
Baldwin. Mr.. Paxton will succeed
him in all these positions.
In addition, Mr.. Paxton will re-
main as secretary and manager of
the Sugar Factors Company. He
is able to do this because he has al
ready accomplished practically all
of the initiatory work of the Sugar
Factors Company, such as the ar
rangements for shipping and rates
and for the Inauguration of the re-
finery project. From now on there is
comparatively little to do at this
end. The great work of the Sugar
Factors Company now is in Cali
fornia in beginning and carrying
on the Crockett Refinery. This Mr..
Rolph leaves tomorrow to go and
accomplish.

He could not discern whether OF

SEES HARD TIMES AHEAD.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Colonel w.
H. Moore, president of the Nation
al Good Roads Association, who
in the New York american" of
June 18th was quoted as saying
that John D. Rockefeller had told
him that Americas greatest panic
was coming in 1907 and 1908, to-
day again quotes Mr.. Rockefeller
as predicting a "hard times crisis"
for these years. Mr.. Rockefeller
said, he adds, chat where there
were 100000 mem out of work in
1898 there will be from 100000
to 100000 in idleness when the
next siege of hard times is upon us.
"The statement was made to me
IN conversation with the oil king
some time ago. said Colonel Moore,
"and he declares that the Govern
ment should not wait until the
hour of peril arrives, but should
provide for the idle and be prepared
to care for them when the crisis ar
rives."
'Mr. Rockefeller bases his state
ment on the fact that over produc-
ton in all lines will bring the crisis.
We were talking good roads at the
time, and it was his idea that pro-
per legislation should be enacted
so that idle men could be put to
work building roads when the time
comes"
