ton Of the New
Order.

WERE 8MADEsT 90 LOW AT FIRST

There was much surprise among the
members Of the Royal Arcanum order
here yesterday, occasioned by the an
tnouncement that the Supreme Council
had decided to raise the rate Of assess
ment upon the members.
The new order. which will be effective
on October 1st, 1906, provides that mem
hers who are sixty-five years OF age
and over should pay as much as s16os per
month for go policies. II
4 There are a great many members OF
the order in this city and they discussed
the matter seriously with one another
last night, ss 81
@It Is believed by some that the order
will lose thousands OF members by the
move, and Yet 1t Is held by others that
the action Of the Supreme Council was
necessary to take care of the policy
holders for the future. &
General Raise.
In. addition to the increase in the assess
ments OF members over sxty-five years
of age an entirely new schedule has
been promulgated for all classes of MEM
bers, making a graduated increase all
along the line. There are four alterna-
tive propositions in the new table, but
In each of them the member finds that
the cost of carrying the insurance is a
good deal higher than heretofore.
How It Works.
For instance, member holding a
IS, 900 policy, on attaining the ago Of sixty
five. must pay s1s.0s n month or resort
to some OF the options. which are little
more satisfactory from q monetary stand
point Every member initiated prior
to October i, 1905, is granted the pr1vi-
lego OF six months from October !, 1905,
or until March 31st, to decide which OF the
four options he will select. or whether he
will continue ito pay assessments as
named in the table of regular rates

Baron Speck Won Sternburg. the German
ambassador, called upon Secretary Root
yesterday at the State Department and noti-
fled him officially that Germany was ready
to proceed to negotiate a new trade treaty

treaty relations between the two countries

would insure a continuance of good feeling
and make for the Industrial DEVELOPMENT of
both countries. Therefore he stated that his
government had instructed him to give
notice that it was ready to enter upon nego-
tiations for trade treaty. He did not use
the word reciprocity.
Secretary Root gave assurance of his
earnest desire to do everything possible to
avert trouble He wished only to be shown
the opportunity to negotiate. treaty that
would secure the approval of the United
States Senate. 1t is not his intention, he
stated, to evade any responsibility by pre-
pering a treaty which the Senate cannot ac-

attempt to divide responsibility between the
different branches of the American govern

BIG QUESTIONS.

The political boss is powerlcss
without money and it is possible 10
get money only from those who
have it. Hence the real factor in
manipulating politics is the special
interest that has something to gain
by influencing legislation. The
boss is only the agent of these spec
ial interests. So long as these in
terests exist so long will he have a
field in which to operate. Many
then are ready to say we will have
him with us always for in the Sc
days OF steam and electricity many
branches of business can be run
only on large scale. 1t is true that
this is an age of large things with
the promise OF still larger ones in
the future. We are face to face
with the question whether it will
be best for the body polite that
these interests shall continue to be
private interests or whether they
shall be operated by all Of the pee
pie for all Of the people. The prin-
ciple objection to running public
utilities by the public is the strength
of the political pull it would give to
the INSCRIPTIONS politician. Those
who argue thus forget that the ele-
men. of power in the hands of the
politician is money and that the
money comes from the corpora
tions. Thus the real political boss
is the head of a great corporation.
For instance, is not the president of
railroad, as railroads are now run,
far more potent factor politically
than the same man would be if he
were government employee, espec-
tally if he were elected instead OF
being appointed to his position
Big questions confront the people
of this age and they must be de-
eided by the common people. They
require careful thought and much
discussion. The organized farmers
are talking them over in the grange.
1t is to be feared that the un-
organized farmers think of them
little if at all.

STRANGE Foods.

A Chinaman conducts in New York
what is probably the queerest shop in
the world. The sign on the door says:
Strange Foods-Exotics."
And here are sold eatables from all
parts of the world.
Chow-chow is one of the dealers
commodities. This is not the chow
chow that everybody eats, a cheap
pickle it is the real Chinese chow
chow, a compound of bruised vegeta.
bles, very odd and bitter in taste, and
very costly-sl.50 pint.
Ant-cakes are small biscuit Of gray.
ish color that cost $3.50 apiece. They
are made of the dried and compressed
bodies OF African white ants. Men who
live a while in Africa grow fond of ant
cakes, as they who live a while in ia
pan grow fond Of japanese raw fish.
The dealer sells, he says, about a hun
dred OF these cakes every month.
Edible snails he sells in great guam
ties 10 French families. Filled with
the green butter that gives them succu-
lence-escargot butter-they cost ten
teulS dpleCc.
The man sells betel nut which in tho
east is chewed like tobacco. a box Of
ground betel weighing a half pound
costs dollar. Half teaspoonful Of
the powdered nut is wrapped in leaf
and chewed with a pinch of lime.
Though it darkens the enamel, It is said
TO preserve the teeth
Genuine Russian caviar is one Of the
dealers most costly commodities. A
tablespoonful of it costs 81. Twice as
much ordinary caviar can be bought
elsewhere for a quarter, but those who
have once tasted the real thing never
again return to the substitute-stur-
geon roe; for Russian caviar is as diff
ierent from sturgeon roe as liver is
from crow.
