sTINeINEss OF THE RICH.
Some Schemes of Women of Wealth
 for Saving Money.

some SCncmeS or women or W oWhtm
 for Saving Money.
 A young woman who acted for time as secretary to prominent New York society woman tells some remarkable tales of the small meannesses of the xery rich, says the Cleveland Leader. She says her patroness, whose wealth touches the million mark, was, in the first place, one of the most successful smugglers on this side of the water, bringing over hundreds of dollars worth of gowns. jewels, laces and other expensive articles every year, free of duty, by means of falsebottomed trunks, putting soiled wristbands and Things in new gowns to make them appear old and resortlng to the vari- large class of wealthy women who de- vote much of their time and ingenuity in devising ways of cheating the gov ernment of duties. And this they do not merely to save money-which they fling about recklessly in other direc- tions-but because they think 1t clever to "get the better" of some one.
 This society woman boasts among her acquaintances of another scheme for saving money of which she is par ticularly proud-that of having i'm ported cloaks, dresses and hats sent home lon approval from the shops, so that her maid may copy them, and re- turning them next day to be credited to her account. By thls means she is able to duplicate for the bare cost of the materials patterns which the i'm porter has paid heavy duties to bring from abroad for his customers. The shopkepers are perfectly aware of this practice, but, as the woman is Q "charge" customer, they have no re- dress. If they refuse to take the article back she will refuse to pay them.
 Then, too, rich women are nothing if not capricious. Fashionable modstes frequently have to sell to a second hand dealer for S25 $15O gown that has been thrown back upon her hands after it has been ordered by wealthy patron. But the greatest sufferer is the shoemaker, who will often have returned to him shoes made to fit some customer whose feet are a peculiar shape or are not mates. These, of course, are utterly useless, yet it is the poor man and not the rich woman who must suffer the loss. And the trades people dare not complain. for the women who do these things set the fashion, and if their patronage is with drawn most of the other customers will leave, too. So the tradesmen must grir and bear it.

Another Viewpoint.

 Speaking of charity" said the min ister, "how true 1t is that 1t Is far more blessed to give than to receive!'
 "Yea, verify" rejoined the father of the bride, who had six more grown-up daughters to dispose of.

Some Dig Oysters.

The usual size of the shell of an oys- ter is three to five inches, but away back in Tertiary times there were oys- ters in California that had shells thir- teen inches long and seven or eight inches wide The animal and shell doubtless weighed fiftecI or twenty pounds, since the shells were five inch es thick. These oysters have long been extinct, but their fossil shells are abundant. If the oyster farmer could produce individuals of such enormous size now, and the flavor were good in proportion to it's size. we would be most fortunate. In that case a single oyster would be enough for one stew at the church festival!-St. Nicholas.

"No," said the woman who was look ing for flat, this will not do. The windows are too high from the floor"
 But why do you want windows near the floor?" queried the agent.

EDITORIAL

New York BY Portorlcan money and
tor the development Of its coffee -
Idustry, converted into an arbitrary
power for controlling all the transact
IONS between importers Of coffee in
the United States aud exporters III
Porto Rico
The agent ought to be in touch in
an equal degree with tha importer and
exporter; he ought tc attend constant
| ly to the keeping OF our coffee cons
Ipicously before tge public, to using
to its fullest advantage the letter Of
Mr.. Roosevelt in praise Of our sup
erior grain.
But the Agent, who is a public SER
want, functionary paid by the peo-
pie, and who is not what one would
exactly call an authority on quest
ions relating to coffee, ought to
refrain from attempting to Classify
our coffee and not make the mistake
OF supposing himself to be an au-
thority on the subject.
It was not for this purpose that
Mr.. Truxton was appointed head Of
the coffee agency stablished in the
United States.
And he ought to know better than
to pretend that the overwhelming
failure that has overtaken he sale Of
Porto Rican coffee in the United Sta
tates, coinciding fatally with the es-
tablishment of the agency, can be
lessened by the stupid claim which is
made by business bureaucrat in the
circular letter which we reproduced
in our issue of Saturday, SO that our
readers may understand fully on
what we base our comm entaries.
| Let not hr. Trrxton make the
mistake of supposing that any one is
going to be carried away by the
announcement of loans and adv
ances nor by the enumeration of the
Regulations to be observed by the
shippers Of coffee, as we'll as the ones
held in reserve, and the problemati-
cal benefits to be afforded by the
agency.
| No; that circular does not in any
way affect or detract from the affir-
nations we have made touching the
failure Of the agency. On the con
trary, it is fresh demonstration
that it serves no useful purpose and
has signally failed in its object of
beneftting the coffee growers and
that industry in Porto Rico.

Mr.. Truxton has issued new cir
cular, which has reached us after
notable delay, fact that CAUSES us to
call attention to the little considera
ton shown to us by the congregante
who represents our coffee interests
in New York.
The circular to which We refer
treats of the regulations which ought
to govern our coffee growers, who
send their product to the United Sta
tes to be sold in that market through
the government agency.
Mr.. Truxton begins by indu1ging
in boast of rejoicing, congratulating
himself on having achieved great
victory in getting some American
houses, engaged in the coffee bust
ness, to make advances or loans to
our exporters.
We see nothing in this to occasion
any display of rejoicing on the part
of any one, least Of all the coffee
growers.
The conditions set forth in the cir
cular Of the ongregante-which is SO
unconvincing are at once inaccepta-
bic and appear to rs pre1udicia1 and
untcnable.
And we are informed in the said
circular that fartAt1 7egalstions mag
BE- ssSdf ff7on7 tisve to time as nay b. re-
qa5reS.
This may be construed as notice
that coffee exporters may be sub
jected to conditions, proofs end hui
Mutations, those who are unable to-
send the number of sacks, taking ad-
vantage of a low freight rate, or some
other condition favorable to their
business, because first they must
send sample to Mr.. Truxton OF
the coffee which it is proposed tc
sell and await his answer that it has
given satisfaction to the gentlemen
who have made the loans and adv
ances.
This seems a poor return for the
hardship Of spending ten thousand
dollars annually on an agency which
gives such mega tive results.
Our coffee ought not be subjected
to the conditions. asked by Mr.. Trux-
ton as an indispensable requisite OF
its being sold to those houses which
have some connection with the Nuw
York agency.
1t is not right nor can we consent
to having that agency established in

can element in Arizona We are not in- formed but we believe that there is less
 jointure enthusiasm among the Mexi- cans of New Mexico than there is among the ambitious American politl- clans there
 Regarding the g;Lmbling element of
 Arizona, it was sought by the advo- cates of joint statehood in the house and senate to intimidate it by means Of the Littlefield and Burnham bills into supporting joint statehood. Other intimidating legislation was launched for the same purpose but it has all failed IL was intended to offset the effect of the Foraker amendment if it should be adopted, but in any event it was to strengthen the support in Ari- zona of the Hamilton bill
 The same power in the senate which clipped the claws of the Hamilton bill prevented the consideration of these collateral bills. The gamblers of the territory have not been frightened. Notwithstanding the threats which are being made from Washington and by tne AIlzoha StdT, IIley are aware lHdt with the defeat of joint statehood all
 interest will be lost in these Intimida- ton bills. They are aware that the same force in the senate which saved Arizona from jointure is ready to in tervene against the spitefuI punish ment of any element in Arizona.
 We will be left to regulate our own morals as a territory as We would have to do if we should become a part of a joint state.
Arizona republican., 1906-06-30
FAITH OF MAJOR LLEwELLYN

Major Llewellyn of New Mexico, ar interview with whom supplied the Washington Post with the basis for ar editorial yesterday, was making a bad guess at conditions in this territory and at the same time was offering a bad argument in favor of joint state hood.
 We will suppose that the Mormons were the sort of people some of the joint statehood advocates in this ter ritory say they are, and they and the Mexican element of Arizona along with the gambling and liquor interests of the territory should unite to make it part of joint state. as Major LIeweI- lyn says they are about to do, would the circumstances of it's creation be very alluring to those who might want to find homes and investments in it?
 As matter of fact there is no soli- darity of any element in Arizona for joint statehood. The Mormons are against it because they are equally concerned with all Arizonians in the integrity of the territory and in it's future as a separate state.
 The Mormons are a law abiding peo- pie. They have nothing to fear from federal control more than other citi- zens have to fear.
 As to the attitude Of the small Mexi-

ANXIOUS TO SECURE FUNDS
RUSSIAN LOAN ISSUED AT SO,
WITH AN ADDITIONAL 8 PER
CENT AS COMMISSION. 81

st. Petersburg, April 1S.-It was an
nounced here during the day that the
arrangements for the new Russian
loan, totalling $440,000,0O0, have been
signed in Paris. About half the amount
was taken by France in conjunction
with Belgian interests and Austria
took the portion originally assigned to
Germany. The United States did not
participate in the loan, which was
divided as follows: ~
France, $240,000,000; Great Britain,
$66,000,000; Austria, $23,O0O.000; Hol-
land, $11,000,000; Russia, 100000, 900.
The loan, which is at per cent, is
for forty years and is free from taxa.
tion. The portions allotted to one
country will not be good for delivery
on the bourses of the other countries
participating in the loan. The issue
price will be 88 and the bankers COM
mission is 3 per cent.
That Russia should be willing to
issue loan on such terms shows how
anxious she was to secure money be-
fore the assembling of the Russian
parliament. 1t is stated, but not CON
firmed, that one of the conditions of
the loan is that Russia shall not make
another issue of bonds before the ex-
piratiOn of two years.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
Senator Tillman Speaks on His Reso.
luton of inquiry.

=. ius'ou " t'SOiJs ..
Washington, April 18.-Mr. Tillman
during the day called up his resolution
directing the committee on finance to
make inquiry concerning political con-
tributions by national banks. He ex-
pressed fear that his frequent speak
ing on the subject would cause the
feeling that he was cranky" on It.
Nevertheless, he felt his responsibility
to be so great that he could not re-
frain from calling attention to the
facts. He then had read an article by
James w. Breen, printed in the New
York Herald, entitled "How the Banks
Filled Hanna's War Chest" making 1t
the basis of his comments.
Commenting on the article Mr.. Till
man said the members of the commit
tee on privileges and elections had
told them that as a matter of course
everybody had contributed to the fund
of 1896. They had promised to report
a bill regulating campaign eontribu-
tions, but three weeks had passed and
still the bill was not on the senate
calendar.
Mr.. Foraker. speaking for the sub
committee having the bill in charge,
said that he had been in frequent con
ference with Messrs. Knox and Bailey,
the other members of the sub-commit-
tee, and that they were now preparing
to report to the full committee recon-
mending legislation.
After further discussion the resolu-
tion was referred to the committee on
finance and Mr.. Foster was recognized
to speak on the railroad rate bill.
