LESSONS IN MANNERS
Exchanged By Broker From West and
 Woman Cashier

From the New York Sun.
 In one of the largest of the city hotels is the large branch office of western brokerage firm. Across the street from the large hotel is a small restaurant kept by 4 young woman who has appealed Go some of the business men in the neigh borhood by the excellence of>her food.
 Last week her cashier went away for vacation and her substitute was at the telephone when the order came over from the brokers office.
 You're not Miss Smith. anyway" spoke Il pleasant. courteous voice oyer the tele- phone. Where is she? and who the hell are you. anyway
 The substitute had To work and she knew that. but she did not know that she had 10 be sworn at. The experience was new to her rather brief career as a wage earner; but she had not. to be sure. come before into contact with western brokers. So she had to answer back
 ''If you come over here" she answered. you will find out who I am. You may be able to learn some manners, too"
 Eventually the order came over the tel- ephone. After a short while a messenger came back with the check and a iive-dol- lar bill. The telephone bell rang and again the same courteous voice from the bro- ker's office was heard.
 Here. you. there" 1t said Take out of that bill the amount of my check Then send the change over here and you can have your dishes!'
 That was the brokers revenge on the cashier because she had dared to object to being sworn at.
 What do you suppose would happen to me in an ordinary restaurant, she asked a friend. If man in control of large office in a large hotel treats the women like thatT'

Further Trouble Feared.

Houston. Tex, August 16.-A special from Brownsville, Tex, says further trouble Is feared there with the negro troops. A citizens guard of 150 men is stationed along the road between this city and Ft. Brown and if the negro soldiers attempt to leave the garrison it is the avowed purpose of the citizens to shoot them down. Four hundred Winchester rifles were sold to citizens yesterday. The report that the officers of the garrison are themselves afraid of the negro troops has determined the citizens to take no chance.
 Many people are leaving their homes on the side of the city near Ft. Brown. An additional appeal is being made to Governor Lanham to send state troops. Business is entirely suspended in the city. IL is reported that the Texas National Guard troops now attending the maneu- vers at Camp Mabry are clamorng to be sent to Brownsville. Sensa tional rumors have inhamed the miltiamen and it is now declared that the negro raiders com mitted the recent acts In Brownsville in retallat tion of the reported intention of the Texas miltiamen to use ball cart ridges in the event the United States permitted the negro troops to participate in the Camp Mabry maneuvers. Adjutant General Hulin considers 1t unwise to send state troops to Brownsville.

 Bob Ali will arrive in Birmingham this morning, too. He challenges the winner of the Burns Demetral match. Ali is a terrible fellow, with much strength, much confidence, and a boastful reputation to make good. He is certain that he can defeat Burns, and boasts that the Greek will come easy.

RUSSIAN EMPIRE is BADLY
IN NEED OF READY MONEY
DAYS When the Gear Could Borrow
Money asily and Indiscriminately
Are Past.

Russia, chronically impecunious, says
the Butte Evening News, is striving to
borrow another s300,0o0,000. If she
cannot get $780, 100000 she will take
500. 1000. The days when Russia
borrowed money easily and indiscriml-
nately are past. France has been her
principal standby, for France has loaned
money with a view to an international
alliance, which is no longer particularly
desirable.
Russia's indebtedness to France is
now nearly two billion dollars, or, TO
be accurate, $500, 100000. So the de-
sired loan is not forthcoming, although
the bankrupt nation AYERS the money is
to be used for purposes of government
tai reconstruction and regeneration.
The despotic monarchy is much in the
some position of an improvident young
man who borrows and spends to please
his whins, giving no care for the neces-
stiles Of life until want stares him in
the face.
The Japanese WAY was the greatest
and most expensive undertaking In
which Russia ever indulged; she came
out covered with confusion and debt
The contrast with Japan IS condition is
marked. Russia canont borrow, while
Japan could negotiate loan in Ger
nany tomorrow. Yet Japan is alleged
70 have had the worst OF the settlement
at Portsmouth.

Imports increase at Canton.

Vice-Consul Heintzleman, reporting
on the trade of Canton, China, says IN
the Daily Consular and Trade Reports:
The trade Of Canton during the fiscal
year 1905 shows a considerable decrease,
although very satisfactory TO producers
and shippers. The margin OF pront mas
been very low, and there was difficulty
In having the native clientele or the
merchants meet payments due, owing 20
the tightness Of the money market and
the prevailing high rate OF exchange
In the importation Of cotton goods there
was a decided improvement all along
the line; also In metals and woolens-
America Is not represented as oompet-
ing In these articles. In kerosene, Rus
sian oil has almost entirely disappeared,
It's importation being supplied by the
American and Sumatra product.
The increase In the importattons OF
American oil into Canton shows over
5000 900 gallons In 1904, and for the
first half Of 1905 over 10000 900 gallons.
The Standard Oil Company has invested
In property In Canton, consisting Of
several acres, and containing thereon
four warehouses and FIVE tanks, costin =
s1,125,000. The sperry Flour Company '
the Stockton Milling Company, the
Hammond Milling Company, and other
-four concerns are doing fourishing
business in Canton. The Singer Sewing
Machine Company Is doing an increas-
ing and profitable business.
The principal exports from Canton
are mating, silk and tea, besides such
other articles as fans, cassia, canes,
bristles, hrecrackers and feathers are
shipped abroad In considerable quanti-
ties. The total export Of tea from Can

Conditions In the Coal Fields.

There has been suspension of
wor' In the anthracite mine region
since April l. AS preparation for a
formal striek declaration this would
seem to have been tactical mistake on
the part Of John Mitchell and the other
officers of the miners union, says the
New York Sun. Well informed reports
from the mine districts In February
and March were to the effect that there
were good reasons for believing that a
large body Of the miners did not want
strike, and it is not to be wondered
at that the reports arc now that there
is less enthusiasm for a strike thar
ever. Four workless weeks are likely
to take the edge off enthusiasm for .
formal declaration that longer period
OF extended idleness is to supervene.
Considerations such as these tend te
strengthen the conclusion that the lead
ers of the miners union have not in
tended to urge formal strike. The
an thracite operators have intimated
rather plainly their. belief that Mitchell
was only Prolonging controversy with
them in the hope of extracting conces-
sions from the bituminous operators,
or, at all events, playing one industry
against the other. However this may
be, it does not appear that the tactics
OF the union officers, whatever their pur-
pose, have been notably clever.
