ria bumped into the reef the passengers
were ordered into the small boats. Ev-

bag. and into this cramped space each
passenger tried to crowd the most pre-
cious belongings. 1t was thought that
the rest of the baggage was doomed,
but afterwards the luggage was safely
sent to Honolulu in relief tugs. The
San Francisco belle, like the rest of the
passengers, never expected to see her
belongings again. But instead of pack
ing her suitcase with lingerie and
cherished 'prettieS' she filled the space
not usurped by necessaries with letters
and photographs. Owing to the posi-
ton in which the Manchuria struck it
was a jump of about three feet from
the ladder to the boats. When the fair

day from a vacation on Hawaii-the
the guest for eleven days of Senator
Palmer P. Woods, at Puuhue. From
there he went to Kona and drove all
over the district. Indeed, for that
part of his vacation. it was more bene-
fit of change than of rest that he had.
He was at his desk yesterday after
noon looking welI-weathered and more
robust from his outing. a great mass
of correspondence on health matters
awaiting him engaged his prompt at

Of Health in six weeks will be held on

Raws.-The markets of the world for
raw sugar are now directly under the
influence of Cuban news from day to
day. Europe, which is highly specuia-
tive. is particularly affected by the
Cuba situation, beet quotations rising
during the Week 10 los. Sd. and falling
at the close to 9s Cd. for prompt with
corresponding decline for futures.
From present indications slow prog
ress is likely to be made towards per
manent peace on a satisfactory basis
in Cuba. and in the meantime the crop
prospects are growing more unfavora-
bile bv reason of neglect of the fields,
lack of labOrers, and difficulty of bor-
rowing money for making the crop. 1t
is difficult to anticipate the political
outcome of Cuba, as to whether media
ton will succeed without intervention,
the general opinion tending towards
final intervention to sustain any ar
rangement made by the L. 5. represen-
tatives, as there is almost certain to
1e disaffected element to be dealt
with under whatever settlement is
made
This disaffected element will keep the
sugar crop in more or less uncertainty
until matured and hence we must con-
slider that Cuba crop prospects are I'M
favorable to say the least. No reliable
estimate can be given except to say
that the crop will be late and smaller
than last year.
AS noted. the markets here closely

situation and at one time there were
buyers at Also. for 96-deg. test without

to enable the manufacturers to import

RALEIGH LETTER.
GORMAN NEWS BUREAU,
RALEIGH n G. May 81. 1906.

I
The recent death of Mrs. Fannie Hol
| land. a respec table and well eonnectec
white insane woman, in the county iai
OF Johnston county (where she was con
fined because there was no room In thu
asylums for the insane) and the sentenc
ing during the past week at Cabarrus
court Of a twelve year old white girl tc
the State penitentiary for five years fol
killing a man who had designs on hel
virtue (there being no reformatOry in this
State) have served as additional press
ing and heart-rending arguments to &C
centuate the need OF more room in our
asylums and the building OF reforma
tory for youthful criminals, the contin-
ued lack OF which has for years been a
disgrace to the State OF North Carolina
and to every man who has served in the
General Assembly of late years and has
not exercised himself in the efforts that
have been made by Others to provide
these needed things.
1t is to be hoped that in selecting can
didates for the legislature this summer
the good people of all the counties will
not lose sight of this matter and will
choose men who are sound on the prop
ositiOn to appropriate the funds neces-
sary to care for the many insane wards
of the State in the hospitals for the in
sane who are now languishing in the
common jails Or poor houses of the cOun-
ties without medical treatment or care
OF any sort, and to provide an institu-
ton where mere children found guilty OF
an infractiOn of the statutory laws may
be sent and given chance to reform and
be taught to lead upright lives, instead
Of being sentenced to serve terms in the
pententiary as the associates of harden
ed criminals to be damned for all time.
II is certainly high time the lawmakers
upon whom these matters are dependent
were giving them the favorable atten-
ton they demand and deserve.
The summer course at that fine institu-
ton, Kings Business College, began last
week and will continue till August 18th.
This college gives during these three
months an unlimited scholarship in eth
er or both the commercial and short
hand departments at a reduced rate that
is important to young men and women
who desire to economic, and which car
ries with it the written guarantee of the
college to place each student who takes
the course in good position paying not
less than $50 month to begin with, in
addition to paying the railroad fare OF
the students who come from Il distance,
in or out of the State.
The entire State is interested in the Gel
ebration at Charlotte this week of the
131st anniversary of the signing of the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independ-
ence, which begins today and ends Thurs
day night. For the first time the official
recognition by the United States Govern
ment is given the event and the occasion

taken from the Insurance Act Of

RAVACES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once 8 Harmless Fad Has Become Almost Univer-
 sal Mania.

The vogue of the illustrated souvenir postal card has assumed the dimensions of literary peril. What was once a harmless fad confined to more or less ec- centric visitors in out -the-way places mas become all but a universal mania says the New York Post. The Boston post office reports handling 25,000 of these yellow imps in 8 single day. The so-called comic valentine once tainted ever, lasted put for day, while the sou- venir postal card ceaseth not day nor night to cry for destroyer.
 From the point of view of growing popularity these postal cards but evil dence anew the danger with which modern mechanism is continually en- composing the other handicraft arts. The printed book has driven out illus trated missal, ''The quartersawed oak" of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen. dale and Sheraton. And at last the illus trated postal. with cheap ready made sentiment and chromo Autograph threatens the letter of friendship, travel and description. The residuary field of the epistolary art was long supposed to be safe from the inroads of the printing press. Political intelligence such as fills Horace, Walpole's six stout vol umes of private letters has for over q century been disseminated in the news, papers. Scientific news has long since found similar media of publicity.

NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
When a Gold Stampede Is Started.

There is & popular belief in the ex- treme northwest that the north pols will be discovered by musher. and not by any scientific polar expedition, says the Sunset Magazine. This belief is based on the conviction that a gold stampede will eventually be started toward north latitude 90 degrees, and that the mushers will rush in where arctic explorers have feared to tread So completely unknown to fame Is this newcomer in the race for the pole that to the majority of people the name sug- gests nothing but cereal breakfast food.
 Gilbert Parker, the novelist, who finds his most congenial theme in French Canadian life, has made his read CTS familiar with 'Marche-t' en!" ths cry with which drivers of dog teams urge forward their panting animals. French Canadian trappers were among the earliest white men In the far north- west and American prospectors on the Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs cn with the same cry, without however, understanding the French, which, In their mouths, was rapidly corrupted tc ''Muchon!" to this day an Alaska dog drivers equivalent for Gee up!"
 Dog drivers generally rush with ths team and therefore from 'Mush-on" has come the noun musher, used all over Alaska and the Yukon territory to des- lgnate trailsman. The musher is gen. orally prospector, stampeder and trails man all rolled into one, and Alaska trails are such uncertain quantities that he has frequently to make his own prece- dents over newly frozen sea and track less snow. The musher achieves most of his stampeding to new gold fields dur ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid sea becomes highway and mighty rivers need no bridging.
