 Used in Hurry Call.

To give a woman at the point of death the one chance for life which the best of earthly skill might af- ford, the powers of earth, air and water were invoked in a superhuman effort to stay the hand of fate. On the steamship Carmania of the Cu- nard line, Dr Howard Kelly, distin- guished surgeon and professor of gynecology at John Hopkins univer- site, was returning from Europe. In sanitarium at No 26 West Sixty first street Mrs Lewis Davis, who had undergone a delicate operation last Saturday, was momentarily losing ground. New York specialists had been called in consultation, but they had shaken their heads. The case seemed beyond human power.
 Then 1t was determined to call Dr Kelly to the aid of the sick woman. This was Monday. The Carmania was due in the afternoon, so through the air went the message by wireless But Captain Pritchard at Quarantine de- cided that the weather was too un- certain and he would not dock his ship until Tuesday morning. Dr Kel- ly. however, was not to be .deterred. He pointed out the exigency of his mission. and every facility was put at his disposal.
 Only Colonel Clarkson, surveyor of the port. could cut the Gordian knot of red tape which prevented a passenger from landing before the ship had been cleared. The wires were soon in motion to advise him of the situation. His deputy, Mir Bish- op. in turn communicated with the authorities at Washington, and pres ently a tug with two inspectors and Dr Kelly aboard posted on to the Battery. Here the subway came into play. While an express whirled the doctor to the Seventy-seccnd street station a cab was called by telephone to meet him there. and, in incredl- ply short time, he had pronounced the last word that doomed the pa tient. All had been done, he said. that mortal skill could suggest. The end was inevitable. and a few hours later Mrs Davis quietly breathed her last.

The Edinburgh Scotsman, an old and responsible newspaper, refers to the fact that at the recent medical congress held at Toronto, an interest. ing and suggestive paper on the con trol of milk supplies was read hy Professor Harcourt, of a Canadian agricultural college. The Scotsman says: ''He had great fault to find with the manner in which milk was kept and handled in Canada, and he added the remarkable statement that if a commission were appointed in that country to investigate the conditions under which milk was handled and delivered to the consumer. the report of the commission would be worse than the recent revelations relating to the meat-packing establishments in Chicago The Scotsman says that if the general handling of milk in Canada is so unsatisfactory. it Will hardly be contended that Canadian cheese is entirely beyond suspicion. and 1t asks the British authorities to exercise increased vigilance Tn test. ing and checking the purity and q,Ial. fly of imported dairy products. The Canadians probably will not relish this suggestion. but it Is founded on home statements by its own repre- sentative men.

EMOTIONAL SINGING.

Jean de Reszke once said that mu- sic did not exist for him except so far as 1t Is emotional. What made him great was. above all things. his in- tense emotionalism. The same trait characterized that king of German tenors, Albert Niemann. It was at a rehearsal of wagner's "Walkure" at Bayreuth in 1s16 that Niemann, having sung the roll of Sigmund in the first two acts. remained as . spectator to hear the last act. To- ward the close of the opera. when Wotan impetuously embraces his daughter Brunnhilde. while the mo- tive of wotan's farewell Is played with unprecedented outburst of or 'chestral splendor. Niemann. the stury veteran. was 90 deeply moved that he began to sob violently. and It vas not tin long after the rehear- al vac over that he reesined his coup0g1ro.

ARCHBIsHOP-s ALIMONY.

The Rev Franciss M. Kielty, rector of the Church of the Holy Angels. St Louis. who died last Saturday at the age of S2. was an Irish scholar, wit and practical joker. Archbishop Keudrick twice nominated Father Kielty for a bishopric. once of Mem- phis and once of Peoria. III. but in each case Rome gave the honor to some one else
 Father Kielty began his sermon one Sunday morning by announcing in a voice with pathos that he had a confession to make
 breast of it. I've been sued for ali- mony and you'll have to pay it." he said.
 As the congregation easped he waved in the air q document. signed and sealed to resemble an order of court

We have had our high rate money troubles this fall: now England and Germany are apparently having theirs. says Banker Clews. The Bank of England's supply of gold is lower than at any time for the past thir- teen years and is at least SJ0.foD.1o0 less than it was ten years ago. not withstandiing that during that time England has received from south Af- rica and Australia vast amounts. The United States and France meantime have materially increased their gold holdings. Germany's war chest k supposed to hold a very large sum of gold as a reserve in case Of war. This. however. takes 1t entirely out os range for any other use.

"Wednesday while he was climbing over the iron rail in the bird house with some herbs he felt a sharp pain in his right thumb. A little lump appeared with point protruding. An incision brought to light a piece of the fang. IL had been circulating in Burns's body for twenty years.
 In the eighties about the only anil maj store in the city was kept by Burns in South street. He also did considerable training and was widely known among circns men
 One day a box of boa constructors from South America arrived Burns opened the box and put his hand in to take them out. when. with a shout of pain. he suddenly drew 1t out. One of the young boas had bitten Burns's left thumb and the jerk had broken one of the fangs off in the wound

President Roosevelt's interest in the Jamestown exposition, to be held next year, has been manifested in many ways, but by one action he has insured to the exposition the greatest series of international yacht races ever held. When 1t was proposed to invite the yachtsmen of the world to send boats to compete in various races, the president offered to donate handsome trophy to be contested for by the twenty-seven and thirty foot classes of sloops and yawls. The proposal of the president brought an immediate response from the rulers of European nations. Information has been received here through off cial channels that King Edward, of Great Britain; Emperor William, of Germany; Sir Thomas Lipton, the distinguished British yachtsman who three times has contested for the AmerlcaS cup; and the Jamestown Exposition Go. itself will offer hand some trophies for international yacht races at the exposition. The prize in each event will be magnificent silver and gold cup of special design and elaborate workmanship. Any one of these cups would be q notable at traction to yachtsmen, but five of them, with four offered by the great est patrons of legitimate sport in the world, are expected to result in the most brilliant series of international yacht races ever held.

once more?
II you continue to suffer with the
ills of Indigestion. such as headaches
sleeplessness, nausea and distress after
eating. specks before the eyes, despon-
dency and nervousness, now that you
have been told of the good Mi-o-na

indigestion is an absolute crime.
Mi-o-na will strengthen all the or

HINES IN W.ALLA WALLA.
Oregon Historian Gathering Data for
Oregon Archives

George II. Hines, secretary of the
Oregon Historical society, is in the
city gathering material for a compre-
hensivc biography Of the early settlers
of the northwest, says the Walla
Walla Statesman. The records of the
pioneer experience of $4,000 have al
ready heen collected by this society
which plans a big card index of the
early settlers.
Mr.. Hines was much pleased with
the success of Ezra Meeker in re-
crossing the old Oregon trail.
"They thought the old man was too
old to do it," he said, "but he was
sturdy. 1 think that the publicity
given his trip will result in the gov
ernment having the trail properly
marked. There is no such achieve
ment in all history as that where a
people went into a trackless wilder
ness in such numbers for 1000 miles
to make permanent homes"
Mr.. Hines will be in the city sew
eral days interviewing old settlers and
collecting data for the great pioneer
encyclopedia.

WHAT APPLES ARE WORTH.
Southern Oregon Paper WAKES En-
thuiastic Over Fruit.


The Jacksonville Times says of the
apple-growing industry of that Sec
ton of the state:
Many acres of apple land in Jack
son county will this year produce more
than $500 worth of that luscious
fruit! Six hundred dollars per acre!
What ought 10-acre- orchard be
worth that produces that much fruit?
But suppose we say this Is an exccp-
tional year. which 1t is not, and re-
duce 1t to $500 per acre, or $4,000 for
the 10 acres, and then take off 25 per
cent for expenses; what is such an or
chard worth in dollars and cents?
Suppose we give the life of the
trees as 30 years, and count the land
a dead loss at that time; what does 1t
figure?
No man dare give the figures and
be counted clothed in his right mind.
What property could he have, sure
and stable, costing $4,000 that would
pay as we'll as that? Where could he
And the apple business is in Its
infancy, as 1t is only beginning to be
known by the fruit-eaters of the world
that one apple is worth half dozen
oranges, and the time Is approaching
when the orange will compare on the
market with the apple as "punkins'
compare with watermelons.
Southern Oregon will be the apple
producing center of the future.
As to California apples: They have
two great defects-they are not good
to eat raw and not fit to cook. --

Since the establishment of a jute
plant at the Oregon penitentiary is
now a foremost issue in the state,
the production of raw jute and the
control of its prices and distribution
by the jute trust are entertaining
subjects in this state.
Concerning the scarcity of jute and
the enormous price charged for the
raw material, the department of state,
through the bureau of consular re-
ports, has just issued the following in
teresting statement. The report says
Consul General William H. Michael
OF Calcutta, reports that the jute mills
in India are having a rather hard
time as the result of the speculative
prices of jute which have prevailed
for so many months, and a want of
foresight on their part in not laying
in a larger supply when prices were
reasonable.
One company sustained a loss of
over $4,000 in July, which is a fair
indication of the situation. How to
tide,over and keep the mills in opera
tion is the question uppermost. One
mill has shut down altogether, and
others are expected to do so very
soon. Many are working short time,
and one newspaper suggests that a
meeting of the Jute Manufacturers
association should be held at once to
devise a concerted measure for cur
failing production to such a degree as
will have an immediate effect in low
ering the price of the raw material
to enable the mills to live.
Just how this action will lower
prices is not clear. The demand for
jute in Europe and in the United
States will have something TO do with
keeping up prices, and there seems tc
be a genuine demand for raw jute ir
those countries. The demand in the
| United States for gunnies is heavy anC
is likely to increase rather than di'
minish.
The consumption of jute per annun
! In the United States is figured at 600,'
900 bales with a probability of large
| increase; the consumption on the con
tinent is 100000 bales per annum
! the consumption in Great Britain pei
| annum is 1,250,000 bales; the mills II
| Calcutta consume 3,750.0O0 bales, ant
the mills in Upper India consume 500,
| 600 bales.
The India mills consumed 4,25O,OOO
bales out of the total consumption
throughout the world, which is esti
mated at 100000 bales. or a little
more than half of the raw products.
