LARGE AS LAST YEAR.

Tacoma. Wash. April 2S.-Cspecial.)-
The enormous cotton shipments to the
Orient are surprising even the transport

Tacoma is piled high with raw cotton and
cotton goods en- route to China and ia

are in the yards awaiting a place to be
discharged, and even the United States
quartermasters' warehouse has been utll-
lied to relieve the situation. The North
ern Pacific Railroad company has re-
serve stipulation in its contract with the
government whereby 1t can stow several
hundred tons of freight In the quarter
masters sheds, and fun advantage of that
privilege is now being taken.
Besides these enormous quantities of cot
ton now here shipments of raw and man.
ufactured cotton from Puget Sound dur
ing the first three months of this year
amounted in value to $4.s96,322, according
to customs reports. During the same
period last year the shipments amounted
to $622'6l9. Practically all of the cotton
shipped to the Orient from the Sound
goes through Tacoma. At the present
time, 1t is said, that hundreds of cars
of cotton are en- route from the southern
ports for export from Tacoma.
The congested condition of the ware
houses will be somewhat relieved within
the coming week. One OF the Blue Fun
mel liners will be in next Wednesday and
other Oriental steamers win reach port
soon.
Exporters say that the extraordinarily
large shipments of cotton are due to the
war influences, and that, aside from for

Rev. Dr.. Henry M. White, pastor
CT Opequon Memorial church at
Kernstown, this county, sends the
Star the following criticism on Rev.
w. L. Seabrook's work on "Immor-
taiity."
Immortality" by Rev. VIM. L.
Seabrook, is book of two hundred
pages on subject OF unusual interest
The author modestly disclaims any
credit for originality His zone de-
SIRE" he says, "is to bring the mes
sage of comfort to hearts that long
for
"A breath from the Heaven-side bank
of the river of Death"
His success in doing this is worthy
of all praise. Comfort for hearts
longing for the things that are unseen
may be drawn from every page.
Nothing new has been written On
Immortality" since the days Of Pla-
to and the Apostle Paul. Yet there
is a new way Of putting old truths
And this is the charm of the book
Its freshness and JUNCTION do the
heart good. We bought it for old
acquaintance sake, but have read and
reread it carefully for it's own sake
The argument, increasing in strength
from the beginning, is conclusive.-

Not so Funny.

In a Pullman car on an English
railway recently, says an exchange, a
waggish yclng man, noticing an el-
derly gentleman trying to put on
light dust-coat, went to his assistance
While thus engaged, the young man
observed a good-sized whiskey-hask
protruding from one of the old gen.
tleman's pockets, and thought it a
good opportunity for joke. Having
helped the stranger on with his coat,
therefore, he pulled out the flask and
said:
"Will you take a drink?"
The old man did not recognize the
bottle, and drawing himself up, re-
marked rather severely:
mo, sir; I never drink"
"It won't hurt you" insisted the
wag, "it's the. best"
"Young man," said the old gentle
man, speaking loud enough for all the
carriage to hear, 'if you persist in
drinking whiskey you will be a ruined
man at 40. 1t is the curse Of the land.
When I was a boy my mother died,
and the last thing she did was to call
me to her bedside, and say, John,
promise me that you will never touch
a drop of liquor?'
"Oh, we'll, in that case," said the
joker, II must drink it myself"
whereupon, suiting the action to the
words, he pulled out the cork and
took good drink. "A moment after
he dropped the bottle with an excla-
nation which certainly didn't sound
like a blessing, and yelled, ugh, ugh !
My mouths all raw!"
Then it was that the old gentleman
discovered his loss, and to the amuse-
ment of the other passengers said:
"Ah, young man, you will be care
full before you take another mans
property again. I am Doctor -,
