Is unfortunate that we have but one
opera house, else it might be possible
to secure n lower rate than $25 q
night. Certainly few travelling troups
pay that amount. A home institution
should Mt least be granted ms low u
rate as is granted To itinerants.

George w. Berge, who will deliver
the commencement address on the
evening of May 80, in the opera house,
is greatly in demand. He is billed to

The expense of graduation week is
going to be somewhat heavy. Mr..
Berge's fee will be $25 and expenses.
The use of the opera house will be $50
for two nights. Besides this incidental
expenses will amount to a consider
able sum The school would be glad
to place the admission to the exercises
at 10 cents a night, but since the en-
t%ertainments are to be self-surporting
this is impossible. The opera house
rental is the heaviest item of expense.
The only means of reducing this would
be to hold the exercises in a church.
But since the patrons of the schools
are OF various denominations as well
as those of no denomination, any
church that might be chosen might
not be suitable to all. Hence it seems

emphasis.

looked like rather battered Father Neptune. He
rose with pompous dignity and cordially hailed
O'Dwyer:
Hello, shpmate! I told the General YOU were
the one man we had to have in our business.
1t was the tip of the lightermanS tongue to
make biting retort but he decided to await devel
Opments.
Fritz Osterhaus stretched himself on Z divan that
built like a ships transom and announced

grieved than angered, while Osterhaus snoth-

The mild hammered General Lopez appeared to
be rutled by this outburst. if ODwyer med
ding with part of the program that did not con-
Germ him. The latter perceived the futity of up
setting matters by uttering more asperslons con-
cerning the maritime repute Of that hardened old
reprobate, Captain Hank Willis, and therefore
resigned himself threshing the details OF the
lawless undertaking. When O'Dwyer said good

whispered:

They threaded their way through a litter of
Coied piles of chain cable, clustered heaps of
pulley blocks and barrels of salt beef and pickles.

them.

PLAYED pretty well, one or three
times, eh:"
The home of the ship chandler
was hard by the water front which
he loved, an ancient brick dwell
ing almost submerged among the
stores, warehouses and tenementS
not far from Coenties Slip. When
O'Dwver mounted the deeply
worn stone steps he faced an
other caller who was fumbling
with the rusty bell pull. The
fiickering light from a street lamp
on the corner showed him a slight
and STOPPING figure topped by
wide slouch hat. The two men
eyed each other shrewdly, until
Fritz Osterhaus opened the door
with a growl of welcome. Once
they were in the hall, the host
exclaimed:

master of the Hercules. He vas

The lighterman surveyed the
General with a somewhat pitying
gaze as if wondering how he could
have been unlucky enough to fall
afoul of old man Willis. There
was something attractive and ap-
pealing in the aspect of this ell
derlv soldier from Central Amer

patriot, and the impulsive SYM

CHINESE LABOR IN SAMOA.
Coolies Who Work For $3.50 Month
and Board.

The British Consul in Samoa re-
rorts that the two important matters
there are the labor question and the
destruction caused by rats In the
fields. The Chinese laborers, of whom
there are about 500 now in Samoa,
give great satisfaction. The 300 that
arrived in 1903 cost slIo per man
for passage to Samoa and back to
China. The 500 who were brought
to Samoa a few month ago cost only
$50 per man. They engaged tor
three years and receive $3.50 per
month with board, lodging and medi'
cal attendance. They are not satls-
fed with their wage, and the Consul
saws that few OF them will renew
their engagement, even for IS per
month. Planters say that they can
not afford to pay them more than that,
and some Of the authorities say tnat
ordinary plantations cannot be car
ried ON with profit should IS per
month be paid the Chinese laborers.
But no other labor can be obtained
apparently as cheap as the Chinese.
A country where white men cannot
work in the open air on farms with
out injuring their health and where
colored labor cannot be obtained must
eventually enjoy but a limited share
of prosperity. In Fiji the supply OF
Indian coolies meets this dlftlculty.
