DANGEROUS CARTOONS.
Pictures Tending to Stir Up Chinese
Animooity.
pecial Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PEKING, September 15.-Copies of Chi
nese illustrated newspapers containing car
toons showing coolies on the Rand being
subjected to refined forms of torture are
being widely circulated. These cartoons are
doing incalculable damage in stirring up
enmity against foreigners throughout the
Chinese empire.
They are taken for the most part, from
the discredited book, slave Driving on
the Rand" of which the anti-British Lon
don newspapers made much capital. and
which was afterward shown to have been
illustrated with pictures for which coolies
were paid to pose If they were being
beaten by English mine managers.
The cartoons are supplemented by state
ments taken from London journals giving
what purport to be accurate accounts of the
torture of Cinnamon. In one case these
statements are described as being vOuched
for by Professor Clifford (sicD, Chinese
editors apparently having a hallucination
that this is a hallmark of truth.
The cartoons show Cinnamon hung by
the hands to beams. Others depict them
huddled up in corners, and being beaten
with the cat"
In the present iniiamed state of feeling
in China, when the sifety OF Europeans
and Americans hangs Il very slender
thread. these pictures are having Il danger
effect on the uneducated readers who
them These have never had any means
of learning the actual conditions under
which the coolies work in South Africa.

GREAT SUCCESS OF

The Washington Tobacco Company, orig

dealers Of Washington. has branched out
and grown until now it is one of the most
progressive and prosperous business enter

handling business in half dozen southern
states.
The company employs eighteen statesmen,
about half of whom handle the country
trade. although all of them do not travel
constantly on the road. Northern Virginia.
southwestern Virginia and southern and
western Maryland are particularly we'll
covered although a big business Is done
elsewhere outside of the District. Many of
the company's competitors have withdrawn
entirely from the field formerly covered by
them, but which is now thoroughly gone
over by the Washington concern. This
gratifying result was attained by special
attention to this branch of the business,

But. after all, the success we have
had comes from our attention to our GUS
toners orders. That Is where we have
made our hit. Anybody with some knowl-

the problem
We keep on at it-keep on trying to

SERIOUS OUTLOOK
IN VALP ARA|SO
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. September 15.-Advices receiv-
ed here by mail indicate that the
most awful suffering prevails in VAL
paraiso since the earthquake. In the
case of the San Francisco earthquake i'm
mediate distress was relieved by sympa-
thetic Americans who poured mil
lions of dollars in for the benefit of the
sufferers. In the case of the earthquake In
Chile. the territory to draw relief supplies
from was limited when compared to the
entire United States. Add to this the fact
that the earthquake in Chile occurred in the
winter instead of the spring as in Cali
fornia, and it can readily be seen that the
suffering has been terrible. 1t mas been
suggested that in spite of the well-knOwn
pride of the Spanish American peoples it
may become absolutely necessary to call
upon the whole world for aid. as In the case
of the Irish and Indian famines. One re-
markable fact reported in connection with
the Valparaiso earthquake Is that the rich
people suffered relatively more than the
poor people, and for this reason enterprise Is
likely to suffer. and in consequence capital
may be difficult to obtain. The result of
this will be that. different fro the case Of
San Francisco, 1t may be difficult for the
poor people to find employment, because
the town is likely to be rebuilt very. very
slowly. Nevertheless 1t is estimated it will
be necessary to rebuild at least 30 per cent
of the houses which remain standing.
Still another bad feature Is that the local
insurance companies are hard hit, and are
suspending operations. AS for the foreign
insurance companies, IL is announced that
they intend to take every advantage Of
earthquake clauses" as in the case Of
San Francisco. But inasmuch the loss
by earthquake was relatively greater and
the damage by the "act of Cod compare
lively less in Valparaiso than in San Fran
cisco, once again the Chilean people are
proportonately greater sufferers.
When the wonderful outpouring of human
sympathy in the case of San Francisco Is
recalled, fears are being expressed that
Valparaiso, where the damage was as great
or greater. and where the loss o. life was
even larger. is being forgotten and
neglected"
One report has it that more than 1000
people are still without homes and
suffering from all of the rigors of a Chilean
winter. In spite of the fact that the ma
tional congress of Chile is trying to raise
large sums of money, an economic crisis is
feared.

The house has a rule that each days bust
ness must be handle as a unit-that is. on
the day in which it originates. Every order
Ia filed and shipped the day it reaches the
office and every effort is made to satisfy
the firms patrons. The right prices are
QUOT ed moreover although the firm has not
resorted in any degree to the suicidal policy
of price cutting. instead. time and thought
is gwen to the problem of helping the firm s
customers in other ways.
This policy has been found profitable, and
proof of ii Is given by the retention of old
customers and the new customers added
every day. The company Is reaching out
into new territory. not with startling rapid
ity, but slowly and surely and as the firm s
means permit and the facilities for handling
the business grow.
Monroe Luchs vice president and general
manager of the company, is authority for
the statement that no new business Is de-
sired that cannot be made satisfactory to
the customer well as profitable to the
firm. He gives this resume of the COM
pany's work:
."rhe company started out to handle the
local business here on just the same prin-
ciple. We are a wholesale house from the
ground up, and there is no retail attach
ment. We sell to retailers and do not seek
to become their competitors. If We did We
should not expect their custom.
I'VE get them the goods when they want
them. The delivery system is just as efficient
and just as complete as time and money
can make it, In the city the wagons make
two deliveries day in every section. The
statesmen report twice day. and just as
soon as orders are received the goods are
packed and the next delivery in that sec
ton carries them to the retailers door.
Every dealer in the city is visited at least
once a week, many Of them twice and some
OF them three times. The retailers have
come to depend upon US. and we strive al
WAYS to deserve their confidence.
.aIhe stock Is what II should be. We ham
die everything made of tobacco. The cigars
range from the cheapest to the best, and
we have lots of both kinds Our humidor
among the most modern and best in the
country, has capacity of 10000 cigars.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-09-16

In the humidor a uniform temperature OF
10 degrees, Fahrenheit, and a uniform hui
Nudity of 20 degrees are preserved auto
matically. The higher grades Of cigars.
imported and domestic, are kept In the
humfdor. When they are sent out of the
house. in response to an order, they are In
the same perfect condition they were In
when we received them. Not one bit Of the
original fragrance has been lost; the aroma
Is just what 1t was when the cigars left
the factories in which they are made.
ITO the remainder of the stock experts In
the companys employ devote equal atten-
ton. There is tobacco of every sort and
for every purpose to which 1t can be APP
piled. The use of snuff is no longer fash
ionable pastime, but 1t Is still used. and we
sell lot of it. We have pipes Of every
grade and every kinda big and generous
stock of them. There are cigarettes in every
shape in which they have been built. and
made Of every combination of tobaccos.

TIMES ON
FRENz|ED FINANCE

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON, September 15.-The London
Times continues it's attacks upon "frenzied
finance in connection with American rail-
roads. Says-the "Thunderer'' in a recent
editorial:
''The recent action OF the group of Amer
lean magnates who control the Union Pa
cifc and Southern Pacific systems has once
more raised a question which has often
troubled business men. and. still more, peo-
pie not engaged in business but owning in
vestments.
In the opinion of many observers the
American railway dividends mentioned were
declared in order to carry out a scheme for
making a market to sell on market in
which not only Union and Southern Pacific
shares would be in strong demand, but in
which many other securities would be sal
able, in virtue of that mysterious, but real.
market force known as sympathy The
theory of these critics was that for some
time past the 'magnates' had had on their
hands more stock than they were prepared
to hold, owing partly to the remarkable
activity of trade and industry in the United
States, which makes 1t worth mems while
to invest their profits in their own bust
nesses, and partly to the fear felt by the
large speculative section of the American
public that prices We're about as high as
they were likely TO CO.. In other words, the
magnates had not, on this view of the case
succeeded in creating the conditions in
which 1t would be possible for them to get
out of fair portion of what they had been
holding Like other theories which at
tribute abnormaly wicked designs to capt.
talists, this explanation of what has &C.
Cured leaves something to be desired. In
the United States the fear of not making
money which Carlyle. in his haste, said
was the hell of the English is. no doubt
more potent stimulus to INSCRIPTIONS
business tactics than 1t is here, and these
dividend declarations were in excess of
what was thought probable, but we have
often heard criticisms of a quite opposite
character on American railway finance.
namely. that those who control the lines
are in the habit of not distributing to the

 The fire is supposed to have originated from a miners. candle that was left burning on one of the lower levels in the old shaft during the noon hour.
 The casualties occurred in an effort to subdue the flames in the old shaft. The men who lost their lives and Jack Alossett were lowered on the cage as carefully as possible.
