this reason, he says, he does not hest
tate to say 1t would be advisable to
warn the Southern planters against any
move on the part of Lancashire manu-
facturers to force sales at low prices
in order to meet the requirements of the
deficiency.
The general opinion in Lancashire.
Consul Smith says, is that a plentiful
supply of American cotton can be had
at 10 cents pound. Combinations are
being formed to hold the price at this
notch, if possible, and these combina-
tons intend to operate through agents
sent specially through Louisiana and ali
the cotton producing centers of the
South The troubles among the cotton
manufacturers of the East are expected
to aid in the development of the scheme,
for they are calculated to have a de-
pressing effect on the home market in
their relation to supply and demand.
My candid opinion says Consul
Smith '.is that an enormous amount of

PILES LUCKY ON
THIRTEENTH BALLOT
Magic Number Brings the
{. s. Senatorship.
ADDISON FOSTER LOSER
New Statesman One of the Wealthiest
Men in the State of
Washington.

Senator Addison G. Foster of Wash
ington Is expected to return to the city
Friday to finish his first and last term
in Congress Mr.. Foster was defeated
for reelection by his State Legislature
last week. when Samuel H Piles. of
Seattle was elected Senator on the thir-
teenth ballot
The defeat Of the Tacoma man was
brought about by the withdrawal of
Charles Sweeny. the Spokane millionaire
who is reported to have refused to buy
his way into Congress, and who made
Piles, the new Senator. the Iegatee of
all his strength.
Deal Signed at Night.
The deal which assured Fosters de-
feat came at the close of two weeks of
tiresome deadlock, and the agreement of
the Sweeny men to vote for Piles was
signed in the dark hours of the early
morning, when the news of the combi-
nation threw the Foster camp into wild
alarm. An attempt was made to stem
the tide. but Piles rode in on top of the
flood. By a singular coincidence it was
the same unlucky thirteenth ballot two
Years ago on which Harold Preston,
Seattle's candidate, went down to defeat
before Senator Ankeny.
Senator Ankeny's political future is
concerned in the result OF the Washing
ton fight. Piles election could never
have been secured without Sweeny's
help, and il is believed Sweeny with
drew with some sort of understanding
that he was to have Piles support four
years hence, when Akeny's term expires
Senator Ankeny comes from the south
eastern part of the State, and both
Foster and Piles are from the western
side. 1t is generally understood that
each half of the State is to have rep
reSentative in the upper house.
Ankeny's supporters in the southeast
gave their backing to Sweeny's candi-
dacy, it is said, on the express under
standing that he would de nothing to
tnjure Ankeny'S chances Of reelection.
The Senator's friends are now wonder
ing what effect the Piles-Sweeny com
bine will have on the election of 1903.
An Able Representative.
Senator-elect Piles is expected to prove
ali able representative of the Evergreen
State. His personality is an interesting
one. Born in Kentucky, he is but forty
four years of age. and has made for
himself in the West a small fortune and
not little fame as a lawyer.
When he first reached Seattle as a
young man he is said to have been en-
sloyed as a laborer. Now he is one of
he leading corporation lawyers of the
state, representing James j. HIS in
.erestss in the Northwest.
The new Senator IS an eloquent
Ipeaker, and in State conventions has
lhown himself a stubborn and formid-
tble fighter.

Judge Albion W. Tourgee.

Judge Albion w. Tourgee, who died
Sunday in Bordeaux, France, where he
was United states consul. was man
Of varied accomplishments who had
won distinction as soldier, lawyer,
judge, diplomat and author Of law
books and works OF fiction He
was a native of Williamsheld, Ohio,
and was a student in Rochester univer-
sity when the civil war broke out He
enlisted in the 27th New York regiment
and was wounded at the first battle OF
Bull Run. After a year of Illness he re-
enlisted as first lieutenant in the 105th
Ohio regiment He was confined at Sails
bury and in Libby prison several months
and at the close of the war sought a mild
climate as essential TO the restoration of
his broken health, and settled with his
wife and daughter in Greensboro, N. c.
He was a delegate to the state consttu-
tional conventions OF North Carolina in
1868 and 1875. and was for five years
Judge Of the supreme court. He was OPP
posed to the reconstruction policy of the
Republican party and favored the estab-
lishment of territorial governments in
the South. During his term of service as
judge the Ku Klux Klan was exposed and
broken up, largely through his individual
efforts
He wrote several law books which are
still standards of authority In North
Carolina. His first contribution to fiction
was made in 1874 when he wrote
"Toinette, a Tale of the South" He won
his greatest fame as the author OF "a
Fools Errand," published in 1879. This
dealt with the experiences of a Northerner
with the Ku Klux Klan. and was the
literary sensation OF the year. Within a
few months 1886, 900 copies were sold, the
largest number of any American novel up
to that time with the exception Of Uncle
Toms Cabin" Bricks without Straw"
and Figs and Thlstles." which appeared
about this time, were also widely cir
culated.
In 1851 Judge Tourgee went to Phila-
delphia, where he established The Conti-

returned from there to Bordeaux. His
consular reports are said TO have been
models. He told Americans what goods

should be sent. and his efforts are said to
have developed our commerce with France
more than the work of all the other
American consuls in France and ambassa-
dor combined.

The Lesson From New Hampshire.

Some Of the Vermont newspapers have
deplored the lack of hotels with suitable
accommodations for summer visitors who
are willing to spend their money freely 1t
is desirable to have these hotels, but
1t is more desirable to attract here people
from the cities who will erect their own
summer dwellings, and send their fam
flies and servants to them to live from
May until September, and perhaps longer,
each year. In many New Hampshire
towns people of this class contribute a
large part of the taxes through the assess
ments upon their properties and they are
good purchasers from the farmers and
give employment at remunerative wages
to local citizens. Fifteen years ago New
Hampshire began to make a systematic
effort to make known to the world it's
attractions for summer visitors. Com
piled statistics show that since this work
was started 1918 summer homes have
been built in the state, the number Of
summer visitors has increased from
5000 to 100000 each year. and the cost
OF summer homes, hotels, boarding
houses, improvements, and farm house
improvements on account OF summer
boarders has reached during that time a
grand total of nearly $4,000 The
Boston Transcript, in discussing this
change, says:
Nature gave TO New Hampshire mates-
tic mountains, beautiful lakes a charming
seacoast, pure, bracing atmosphere. To
these gifts man has added much, and
some things that were overlooked at first
are being given heed. The forests and
fish and game are being preserved; the
highways are coming to deserve the name
OF good roads" The people of New
Hampshire have come to a realization of
the fact that, while they have been denied
a fertile soil to produce great crops, they
have something which the states which
produce the worlds food supplies cannot
offer. Along with the increased apprecia-
tion from outside Of the beauties of New
Hampshire has come a general desire
within for a social advance which shall be
commensurate with the progress in ma
terial things, and each good work brings
along some other, making for human
progress.

John Barrett In Panama.

John Barrett, late minister to Pam
anna, is now in Washington to consult
with state department officials before GO
ing TO his new post in Colombia. He be-
lieves that the problem of sanitation on
the isthmus is greater than any engineer
ing difficulty or question of government.
The Star and Herald, the principal daily
in Panama and the government organ,
i'm an extended editorial speaks glowingly
in praise of Mr.. Barrett's work during the
past year. Here are three out of several
paragraphs:
No minister could have labored harder
and more conscientiously than Mr. Bar
rett for the joint good of Panama and the
United States. He has had the complete
confidence Of President Amador and his
advisers ever since he first arrived and
he has made himself liked by the people
of Panama, regardless OF political asso-
Citations, because of his uniform courtesy
and fairness. Coming here first at the
time when there were grave difficulties
between this Panama government and
the canal commission in regard to treaty
stipulations. he at once quieted public
feeling by his tactful address to the Pres
ident and his considerate treatment of
the arguments advanced by the Panama
government.
There is little doubt that there would
have been serious MISUNDERSTANDING be-
tween the two governments last summer
II he had not poured oil on the troubled
waters. Although the American news
papers gave most of the credit of the
Taft agreement to others II is well known
here that the success of the negotiations
was in no small measure due to Mr.. Bar
rett's patient and careful efforts before
the secretary of war arrived
The best evidence that Mr. Barrett has
done well in Panama is the decision OF
President Roosevelt to send him to Co
lombia at a time when important and del
icate negotiations are awaiting him. Up
on these will largely depend the establish
ment of permanent friendly relations be-
tween the United States, Colombia, and
Panama, not to mention the general ef-
feet on South America, which is closely
watching the outcome of the situation
in order to draw conclusions as to the
policy of the United States towards Latin
countries. The latest reports from Wash
ington are that after Mr. Barrett has
| spent some months in Colombia he will
be promoted to be ambassador to Brazil

One meritorious measure which ran the
gauntlet of the legislature last fall was
the pure food bill introduced by Dr.
Campbell, representative from Rocking
ham. According to the first report from
the state laboratory after analyzing prod
ucts, some of the extracts for sale are
entirely bogus, and baking powders, oys-
ters and maple syrups contain deleterious
substances. The names of the concerns
involved will be made public and unless
the goods are withdrawn from the market
prosecutions viii follow. Massachusetts
is enforcing the pure food law in a way
which will put a stop to adulterations,
many dealers having been fined $25 to $50
each, the charges being principally selling
ketchup containing benzoic acid or other
artificial coloring, and oysters and clans
preserved with borax or boracic acid. A
Massachusetts, brewing concern which Of
fers a $1,000 guarantee Of purity on its
bottles was fined for adulterating beer
with salacylic acid, and another brewing
concern which had spent S25O,000 in a
year in advertising was fined $1,000 for
selling ale containing calcium bisulphite.
1t is said that this concern had $500 bar
rels and 2S, 900 bottles OF ale which 1t must
lose or send it to some states where the
laws are not so strict

which were adopted at the conference of
the state and provincial boards of health
at the sessions held in Washington, D.

Whereas, 1t has come to our knowledge
that some municipalities have objected
to the locating within their borders san

berculosis on the ground that It would

Therefore. Resolved. That II is the
opinion of this conference that sanitoria

sis, If properly regulated and conducted,
are not Objectionable or a menace to the
health of the inhabitants of any town or
city, but, by reason of both their eX-
ample and precept, have tendency to
prevent the extension of the disease

The extra session OF Congress, which
will probably be called oct. 16, will be
for railroad legislation and not for tariff
revision, according TO the well informed
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Transcript The President is convinced
that one great subject at a time is sufh-
cient for Congress and the people, and
that the projection OF two such topics
would afford an opportunity for juggling.
Speaker Cannon wishes the session post
poned until Nov. 10 10 leave Congressman
free until after the fall elections, but
these are not considered important this
year except in Ohio, Massachusetts, New
York city and Virginia. and the speakers
advice probably will not be needed. The
administration will not advocate the in
vestigation Of life insurance companies,
as they are not natural monopolies like
the railroads.

MARY A. LIVERMoRE.
Death Of "Ameriea's Foremost Woman"
Her Wide Range Of Helpful Activities
For Years

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, Americas
foremost woman" concerning whom the
appreciative tributes OF two leading news
papers are elsewhere reproduced, died
from bronchitis at her home in Melrose,
Mass, Tuesday morning in her S5th year.
She was born in Boston Dec. 10, 1920,
daughter of Timothy Rice of Northheld,
OF Welsh ancestry. who served in the
United States navy during the war of
1872. Her mother was a daughter of
Captain Nathaniel Ashton, who came to
this country from England.
She attended the Boston public schools
and a French seminary of renown in
its day in Charlestown, where she be-
came a member OF the faculty, and con-
tinued studies in languages and meta
physics after her graduation. She was
for three years in charge of a school on
"a plantation in Southern Virginia. With
several hundred slaves on the estate she
was brought into such close association
with slavery and witnessed such deeds
that she became radical abolitionist.
She was afterward a teacher of her own
school in DuNbury, Mass, where she met
Rev. Daniel y. Livermore, Universalist
clergyman, to whom she was married at
the age OF "a. She became an earnest
worker in her husbands parish in FAN
River, forming reading and study clubs
among the young people and writing
hymns and Sunday school singing books
besides interesting herself in temperance
work. In 1857 the Livermores moved to
Chicago to take charge of a religious
newspaper.
One of Mrs Livermore's notable works
was for the relief of soldiers during the
civil war, when she was a member Of the
United States Sanitary commission and
directed large undertakings and frequent
ly went to the front with supplies. She
gave up all other work save that on her
husbands paper at this time and secured
a governess for her children. When the
war was over she took up philanthropic
and literary work again and became a
leader in the movements for temperance
and woman's suffrage.
She went to Boston in 1870 as editor
in chief of the Woman's Journal. After
a few years she resigned this position to
devote her time entirely TO the lecture
field, and for 25 years she was a COM
manding figure on the lecture platform
and was heard In nearly every state of
the Union and in England and Scotland.
She commanded wide range of topics,
biographical, historical, political, religious.
reformatory and sociological. Her pen was
busy during all these years, and her
articles appeared in many magazines and
newspapers, and she wrote several books,
