Cruising for DereIicts.

The excellent work in destroying q
dangerous derelict last week, begun
by the Tacoma and completed by the
Columbia, gives renewed point to the
suggestion hitherto made in these
columns that vessels of the navies OF
the world might with peculiar profit
be employed in tracking and destroy
ing the abandoned hulks which dot
the seas and which present n of the
one of the most serious dangers to
navigation, says the New York Trib-
une. OF the need that de%relicts sha.l
be destroyed as speedily as possible
there can be no question. Many
known accidents and disasters have
been due to them, and there is rea-
son for supposing that many, perhaps
most, of the mysterious disappear
ances of vessels might truly be ex-
planned on the ground that they had
come into collision with those wan
dering d%estroyers. Carrying no lights,
making no noise, giving no signal OF
any kind, often lying SO low in the
water as to be scarcely perceptible,
and heavy and solid almost against
which a vessel can scarcely be guard
ed in the dark and collision with
which is always serious and often
disastrous.

The American "Drummer."

A United States consul sends to the
state department a bit of advice for
American business houses that intend
seeking trade in Spanish-American
countries. Cheap travelling sales
men who can pick up orders in a
brisk and breezy fashion," he de-
clares, will not be able to do much
business there. Statesmen of culture
and education, with polished manners
and a knowledge of the languages and
customs of the people among whom
they go, he believes to be essential.
The consul's intentions are good,
and it is easy to see the point he
seeks to make. American business
houses would doubtless do we'll to
remember his words of caution. But
he has a wrong conception of the
American travelling salesman. The
type he has in mind figures more
largely on the stage and in the books
of fiction than on the road. The roy
steering, fashy ''spellbinding" drum
mer has practically disappeared. The
knights of the grip, while they may
not be composite Lord Chesterfields
and ]. Pierpont Morgans, are quiet,
level-headed, capable men of business.
They seek, says the Cleveland Leader,
to obtain and hold trade by a thorough
knowledge of the branch of it they are
in and by deserving the confidence of
the men they deal with. The COM
mercial traveller of to-day does not re-
sort to tricks. He transacts business
on a business basis, and succeeds on
his merits. Such accomplished gen
tlemen as are described by the consul
would doubtless have an immense ad-
vantage over their less gifted brethren
in Latin-America, but the supply of
them is bound to be limited. 1t is a
safe prediction hat the plain. ordi-
nary American travelling men will get
their full share of the business in
Mexico and Central and South Amer
lea.

FORCE ALL OILERS TO WORK.
Scarcity of Labor in the Harvest
Fields of the Northwest.

Idlers in southern Washington must
either enter the harvest field or go
to Jail. The old blue law of New
England that "he who will not work
shall not eat" has been revived
throughout the wheat belt of this
state and northern Oregon at the in
stance of farmers whose chagrin upon
having an offer of SO a day and board
rejected by loafers must be %appeased.
Accordingly the town councils OF
Pullman, C9lfax, Garfield, Pomeroy,
Palouse an half dozen other towns
have enaers4 it possible to inflict
double penalty for vagrancy, a fine
and Jail sentence of thirty days be-
ing imposed, and the prisoner being
required to work on a specially pro-
vided rock pile in the broiling sun.
The definition of the term "vegrancy"
has been enlarged in it's application in
the wheat belt until it practically de-
wolves upon the accused to show that
he has some means of support involv-
ing some physical effort on his part,
for if it is not visible to the police
magistrate, the prisoner will surely
be held for vagrancy.
The demand for help is almost q
tragedy in some localities. Farmers,
realizing that their crop will be prac-
tically ruined should it not be har-
vested. within a brief time, make
frantic appeals to any man or woman
capable of welding a pitchfork. They
offer from 50 to So per day and board,
and stipulate readily that the quality
of the board shall rival that at Del
monico's, and the hired man can have
the best bed in the house for the
asking.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

'FRisco's CROP OF GENIUS.
Second Only to New York In vigor
and Freshness Of Its Literature.

New York is OF course the great
American market for literary wares,
says E. s. Martin in Appleton's
Magazine. There is also a measure OF
hospitality shown to writer's and their
products in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cage and Indianapolis.
But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all -four of these SUBJ
sidiary literary centers in the fresh
ness and vigor of its inspirations.
1t has had an ocean Of its Cwn to
stimulate its imagination, a new coun-
try behind and about 1t and an ad-
venturous and virile population that
has liked to live its own life in its
own way and dream and live its own
romances.
Ii has had money, too. II has sent
out its ENJOYS to view the world land
a good many of them have stayed
away, and because IL has been one
of the worlds great starting places
and landing places IT has viewed ha-
bitually from its own doorstep pretty
much every kind Of human creature
that has been worth looking at.
Altogether, San Francisco has been
like no other city of u republic.

Atmospheric Poisoning.

The protests against he automo-
bile omnibuses of London AVE re-
ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is u~ndoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world, and his condemna-
ton of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides %innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noxious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious. He holds that the air of Lon
don is lad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases, and, worst of all,
the a~sphyxiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover, while he admits that SCI
ence can improve motors, he declares
that 1t is impossible for it to burn pc
troll and render the resulting gases
innocuous.

e No convict has been g%uillotined in
Paris for ten years, and the sentences
of those condemned to death have
been committed to Imprisonment for
life. The reason for this lies in the
fact that the law provides that all
capital executions shall be held in
public, and since the guillotine was
removed from the Place de la Ro-
quette ten years ago, no other place
has been found for it. The residents
in the neighborhood of every place
suggested object to it's erection lear
them. The authorities were lately put
in a quandary when a condemned mar
refused to ask for a communication of
his sentence, and declared that they
must put him to death.

RATE LAW CONFERENCE
RAILROAD MEN AND SHIPPERS
CONFER WITH COMMISSION.
Shippers Against Shifting Classified
tions and for Publication Of the
Tariffs in Full.

Washington, ID. C.-To discuss
certain phases of the railroad rate
law. which took effect Tuesday, there
was a conference. which lasted the
greater part of the day, between the
members of the interstate commerce
commission and representatives o
the railroads and shippers of the
country.
What the Roads Want.
The railroad representatives uni
formly gave assurance OF their inten-
ton to comply fully with the new law,
but presented their views as to the
operation of certain provisions, among
the points urged being
Extension of time in which carriers
may file their tariffs with the COM
mission.
Continuance of the present method
of posting tariffs.
and import rates pending a full hear
ing.
The absolute concurrence of all the
carriers interested before the estab-
lishment of joint rates.
Shippers Side Of the Question.
The shippers representatives urged
the protection of their interests, par
ticularly against the railroads shifting
classifcations, so as to put up rates,
and contending for the discretion of
the commission in the export and i'm
port changes, and for the publication
of tariffs in the full occupation Of that
term. .

D%EPOSITORS

ADELPHIA BANK.
PRESIDENTS SON IS MOBBED
Police Fight Back the Crowd Around
the Doors Of the $1o,ooo,ooo
Bank Wreck.

Philadelphia. Pa.-The office bu:l9-
ing of the Philadelphia Real Estate
Trust Co., which went to the wall last
Tuesday. was stormed WednesCav by
a mob of frenzied depositors, lamor
ing for their savings and Threatening
the lives of the officers.
Police fought the crowd back from
the barred doors, and Wednesday ait
ernoon what was formerly a great
financial institution, now a 100000 600
wreck, is guarded by a horde of reg
ular and reserve policemen, special de-
tectives and plain-clothes men.
Shortly after II o'clock a young
man, dressed in a black suit, with a
broad band of mourning on his straw
hat. emerged from one of the elevators
and started h~urriedly for the main
door. Some one in the crowd recog-
nized the young man as F. Wharton
Hipple. son of the dead president OF
the defunct trust company, and in an
instant there was a rush for him.
Hipple covered his face with his
umbrella, shrank toward the elevator
and called the police to protect him.
Detectives Klett and Sells broke
through the crowd and with the aid
of four husky reserve policemen res
cued young Nipple from the mob.
Klett and Sells hustled him out by a
side door and, hailing a passing auto
cab. hurried the badly frightened
Young man to Broad street station.
where he took the 11:1o Paola accom-
mediation for Bryn Mawr.
So great was the confidence reposed
in Frank X. Nipple, late president OF
the trust company, that the institu-
ton was virtually the bank OF the
Presbyterian church.
Not only the General Assembly,
which was a large depositor, but even
the smallest Sunday school organiza-
lions and hundreds of individuals,
with abiding faith in the integrity OF
the late president, had intrusted their
funds and savings to the institution.
Nipples way was a sort of duplex
system of thievery. He hoodwinked
the bank examiner with n set OF
reports, then deceived the directors
with another. On the eve of discov-
cry he committed Suicide. This fact
has just come to light. The coroner
suppressed the news to avoid a run
on the bank.

The Universal Gifts.


An old farmer was talking OF his
boyhood to a group of young people
not long ago.. It had been hved-that
far-away boyhood-early in the last
century, in a country place remote
from towns. He described its meager
conditions-the houses, In which such
things as 'conveniences' had never
been dreamed of, the coarse foo and
poor clothing, the scanty schooling,
the few holidays; no magazines, al
most no books, no entertainments or
sports except an occasional sleighing
party; no "junketings," no celebra.
ton of Christmas or New Year, no
vacations from work. Nothing that

sickness and defeat; there are lives
eaten by poverty and dwarfed by con-
straining circumstance, yet, says the
Youths Companion, to every life these
three things are given-the joy of SUM-
shine and blue skies, the cheer n
comradeship and inspiration of other
lives pressing upon his, the opportu-
nifty to hope and dream and do bat
tie, to learn daily more of himself and
his fellow man and God. All over
the country are eager young people

only the longing means wa~tchfulness,
not discomfort. Chances come only
to open doors. But while he is wait

that the three great gifts are his al
ready to use or to neglect-Nature

TO SLAUGHTER JEWS.
Soldiers Threaten to Exterminate

eytingulsh the Jews of Warsaw have

mar supposed to have been a Jew.
AS a result of these threats, the Jews
are in a panic and many are fleeing

every Jew in the city will be killed.
In the Jewish quarter the greatest
