HIS ONLY FRIEND SACRIFICED
Because of Hunger - A Dutchman
Forced to Sell His Meerschaum.

Starving for his breakfast and ready
to drop from fatigue a heavily be-
whiskered Dutchman giving the rame
of Won Dinglehoff, with walk like
a sailors and a nose like a straw
berry tart, shambled into the Majestic
hotel about 10 o'clock Monday morning
and after Il piteous tale of exile and
long wandering sold his last friend on
this side of the ocean, richly colored
meerschaum, for $3.50.
At the beginning of the trade Won
Dinglehoff showed all of the indiffer-
ence which belongs to an experienced
bargain maker. But as the travelling
men to whom he was talking kept con-
servative in bidding and his own appc-
tite grew more clamorous he came
down in price from $40, S. and $3.50
until he finally rabbed at a one dollar
bill and fifty cents which a man from
Nashville handed him.
The Dutchman said that he haG
come to America in 1901 expecting to
find his only sister who had preceded
him two years before in Chattanooga,
Tenn. On reaching this city, however.
he states, he could find no trace OF
Frau Dinglehoff, and that he now gives
her up as dead. After years of batter
ing about over the south, in New Or
leans, jacksonville and Birmingham,
he landed in Atlanta Sunday night,
having walked Il good part Of the way.
The pipe, declares Dinglehoff, belong
ed once to a German officer and was
given to his father, Hans, for having
once saved the commander from
drowning near the dikes. He has
named it Prince William and On Dart-
ing with il begged the indulgence Of d
final smoke.

fered him a tobacco box and some one
else furnished a light. Then the
strange Hollander kindled his bowl,
puffed like a bellows, smoked slowly
to the ashes and, having kissed the
mellow bowl, handed it to the new
owner.

gone,' he said as he shambled out
again "I'll never smoke his like

CHINA-A VAST FIELD
Americas Trade With the Flowing
Kingdom and Its Future Possibilities

The trade Of this country-especi-
ally of the Southern cotton mills
with China, is subject that We
have always regarded as a matter Of
great Importance. Some very in
structive facts OF this trade have
just been issued by the Bureau of the
Department of Commerce. from which
it is learned that the trade of the
United States with China shows very
rapid growth during the past decade,
especially in exports to that country,
though the imports from China also
show an increase. Total exports to
China in the calendar year 1895 were
S., 3,103.922, and in 1905 S5S,574,793; the
total imports from China were, in 1895
S21 ,S42. $50, and in 1905 s2S,113,S11 In
addition to the exports direct, there
should be considered those to Hong
Kong, a British colony on the coast Of
China. which is, in fact door through
| which large quantities of merchandise
| enter that country. To Hong Kong the
exports of the United States grew
1865, and the imports from HongKong
grew from s1,393, ,92O in 1895 to 81 ,6s5,-
0G3 in 1905.
The largest growth in the exports
to China occurred in 1905, in which
the total value Of merchandise ex-
ported to that country was s5S,574,
793, against s27,921 ,033 in 1904 and
s14,97a,13S in 1903. The phenome-
nal growth was due in part to the
fact that large contracts for Ameri-
can cotton cloths were made in the
latter part of 1904, in the expectation
that Manichuria and other sections of
Northern China would be open TO COM
merce in 1905. Much OF this section
of northern China, where American cot
tons are especially popular because OF
their suitability 10 the climate Of that
temperature zone region, had been
within the war zone, and its stocks Of
material of this character were exhaus-
ed, hence the large contracts made in
! the latter part Of 1904 for American
cottons in China and the large exporta-
ton Of cotton goods to China in the
calendar year 1905, which amounted to
s33.514,s1s, against 1881, ,566 in 1864
anu So,oUt,5oT III 15oo. III oo0iIou "
this unusually large expectation of cot
ton cloths there was sent 10 China in
1905 s11, 1,747.267 worth of copper being
due to the demand for manufacture
into copper coins by the n1ints of the
various provinces. Thus the large in
crease occurred almost exclusively in
cotton cloths and copper, the increase
in the former being about 20 million
and in the latter about 10 million doll
ars.
Thus there remains a market for
| Thirty-six million dollars worth Of cot
ton goods; ten millions mineral oil; six
million iron and steel manufactures In
| Guiding machinery; four million rail-
way supplies. and 80 million dollars
worth Of miscellaneous manufactures

for which We may compete. 1t is in mis-
cellaneous manufactures and merchan-
disc that the greatest opportunity now
awaits the American exporter in the
markets Of China. Of cotton drills and
sheetings we are supplying about
three-fourts of the total imports OF
the eight million dollars worth, and Of
the sixteen million dollars worth Of
miscellaneous cottons, such as T~cloths
cotton Italians, hastings, cotton fan
nels, towels and printed goods of var
ious sorts, the United States is not
mentioned in the official reports and ap
parently participates in but very small
degree, if at all in supplying them.
Most of these miscellaneous cottons
which are now, chiefly or exclusively
supplied by other countries are of spec
ial qualities, which require them to
be especially manufactured for China
and similar markets. In southern
China. which has a tropical or sub
tropical climate goods of the extremely
light weight are required, and local
customs in some sections demand them
in dark colors. In the T-cloths, last
ings, Italians and prints, local require
ments as to widths, length, weights,
colors and patterns must be recogniz-
ed in the manufacture by those who ex-
pect success in the local markets
The principal articles exported to
China are cotton cloths, copper, min
eral oil, cigarettes, -four and miscellan-
eous manufactures of iron and steel OF

Congress and the Meat Report.

The Reynolds-Neill report on stock
yard and packing-hOuSe conditions i'll
Chicago is sufficiently full of filth and
horror to arouse the envy Of the most
enterprising muck-racker. Indeed, if
this report were not sanctioned by the
president himself it would be open to
the charge of being in large part an
ambitious effort in muck-rakng. It
deals with many ,matters with which
the government OF the United States
has nothing whatever to do, and it
is difficult to understand why the atten-
ton of Congress has been called to
abuses for which the authorities Of
Chicago and the State Of Illinois are
responsible Under the widest possible
construction of the commerce clause Of
the Constitution, it is impossible to
find any warrant for the assumption
that Congress can usurp the functions
of the board Of health of Chicago.
When the Reynolds-Neill report is
analyZed and the eXtraneOus matter
discarded it will be found that the
inspectors is efficient so far as the
handling of carcasses is concerned.
Cleanly methods are employed in
handling meat in bulk. No diseased
meat goes out ITO the people. The
meat used in canning, however, is act
handled with any regard to cleonll-
ness, and therefore the President
threatens to cancel the regulations pro-
viding for a government certificate on
canned products unless the packing
methods are reformed. If the Presi-
dent has this authority, is it not suf-
ficient without further action by Con-
gress? And what further action in this
respect can be taken by Congress,
unless. it sold be to confer
such authority? A law attempting 10
give the government inspector the po-
lice powers of the Chicago board OF
health for the purpose Of abating nuis-
ances would not stand long in court.
AS The Post recently suggested, ihis
is an excellent time to exercise cool
ness and discrimination in considering
the PackingtOwn revelations. The re-
spective powers and duties Of the State
and national governments ought to be
borne in mind, and must be if it is in
tended to enact legislation that will
be effective. Congress should, and
doubtless will, make provision for the
careful inspection of bulk and canned
meats entering into interstate com
merce, and the packers will co-operate
with the government inspector, be-
cause it is 70 their financial interest
to do So AS to the abatement OF
filthy and unsanitary practices in
slaughterhouSes it is probable that the
meat trust will take proper action.
spurred by vigilant local authority and
menaced by the threat of withdraw
al of government inspection certificates.
If the meat trust is one-tenth as greedy
as it has been pictured, it will need 10
further incentive to men dts ways
for the sake Of saving it's pockets.
The tendency to hysteria in this mat
ter justifies the suggestion that per-
haps the greatest danger just now is
the enactment of an excessively dras-
tic dragnet law that will perish the
moment it is tested in court--Wash-
ington Post
