A Little Essay on Names.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
Our neghoors across the line have some
times objected theoretically to the as
sumption of the name "American'' by the
people of the United States. We. too,
live in America and are as much Ameri-
can as the inhabitants of the southern
half of the continent True enough. Yet
their own practice furnishes the COM
plete answer. The people of this country
are called Americans because they are
the chief nation of the western hemi-
sphere for one thing, and because there
is no other fitting substitute for that name.
Even our northern neighbors could not
school themselves to call us United
Statesers." Americans they and the
world call us, and Americans we will al
ways be- There is no misunderst anding
in any foreign capital when one asks
to be directed to the American embassy.
Our friends in the Dominion should be
glad that their country has SO euphonious
is the home of the Canadians" of course.
The dwelers in certain states of our
Union have occasion to lament some-
times that their commemorative are not
more happily named What is a citizen
OF Idaho to call himself. for example? A
Vernonter is all right, but how about
the poor Massachusettsar. or Connect
cutter. or Wisconsiner? The Georgians,
Kentuckiaps, Texans. Californians. are
wen provided with smooth-sounding ap-
oel ations; but alas! for the Mich'ganders
Must the women of that state be styled
..Micbigooses'' by the strict construction
lists? The people of Utah are said TO be
willing to be called "Utahns." II they
don't mind that one might call them any
names one pleases, without offense. AS
we'll address n citizen of Maine as Ma
Mac we should say, as resident of Utah
as Q "Utahn.

A Poets Vision.
From the Academy.


For years the poet Francis Thompson
had been one of the Submerged selling
matches, calling cabs, anything to obtain
the pence necessary to buy food. At last
he yielded to despair. and having for some
days saved up all he could earn he de-
voted it to the purchase of single dose
of laudanum sufficient to end his troubles.
With this he retired at night to his haunt.
the rubbish plot in Covent Garden mar
ket. Then by his own narrative the fol-
lowing incident occurred. He had already
taken half the fatal draught when he felt
hand upon his arm, and looking up saw
one whom he recognized Chatterton
forbidding him to drink the rest. and at
the same instant memory came to him of
how. after that poets suicide, letter had
been delivered at his lodgings which if he
had waited another day would have
brought him the relief needed.
1t happened so with Thompson, for
after infinite pains the editor of a maya
zine who had accepted and printed an es-
say and a poem of his but could not dis
cover his address. had that very morning
traced Thompson to the chemists shop
where the drug was sold, and relief for
him was close'at hand.

TRADE WITH THE ORIENT.
Market for American Goods-Japan

From the Pacific Era!

From the Pacific Era!
The total oriental market for merchan-
disc of a class which may be readily pro-
duced in the United States is more than
$l,OOO.O0O,OOO annually, and of this we now
supply about 1925 100000 OF this annual
market Of $1,00O.00O,OOO. about $3.50, coo, 600
is cotton goods, for which the United
States supplies most of the raw material;
another $l00.000.OOO iron and steel. of
which the United States is the world g
largest producer; 10000, COO provisions in
various forms. in the production of which
the United States also exceeds any other
country; about s40.000O00 mineral oil;
$25 900. 600 medicines, drugs and dyes;
s2000o.o0o -four. and s20,000,o0o. coal. in
addition to a large number of other ar
ticles of miscellaneous character almost
exclusively, however manufactures.
While the United States supplies about
20 per cent OF the imports of China Japan
and the Philippines, and Is steadily In
creasing its total, 1T supplies but prac-
tically l per cent OF. the imports of the
tropical and subtropfcal orient and is
making little If any increase
Japan occupies first place among the
oriental countries in the percentage of its
trade conducted with this country, and
our exports to Japan are greater than to
any other oriental country except China.
Iron and steel manufactures, including
machinery, are probably the most impor-
tant group of articles found in our exports
to Japan. and their Importance seems like
ly to increase more rapidly than that OF
any other article or group of articles The
principal articles forming exports from the
United States to Japan are iron and steel
manufactures, raw cotton, kerosene oil
and flour.
While cotton has in many recent years
shown q larger total than iron and steel
and while Japan will always continue to
be a large importer of raw cotton. 1t is
scarcely probable that the growth in our
exports of cotton to that country will be
as rapid as that of iron and steel and
ma factures.

teen pages Of the printed afidavits are

Report to Federation.
At the twenty annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor. hello
in Pittsburg. attention was called to the
large number Of firms on the unfair lis,
and the necessity of reducing the same sc
that we could make our declarations o.
unfairness affective. This committee nnds
that not many changes have occurred dur
Ing the past year. and believe that some
action must be taken in order to secure
the cooperation of the labor press. we
can't expect the labor press to give the
space it would require to publish the
names of all those firms, and withou,
publicity the intent Of the boycott is de-
feated.
We believe that some measure must
be adopted to find out if the national. inter
national or local unions who are response
bic for the boycott are doing their duty tC
bring about the desired results. Therefore
we recommend that the organizations
that have firms on the "We-don't- patron
ize" list of the American Federation OF
Labor, beginning January ]. 1907, report
every three months to the executive coun.
Gil of the American Federation Of Labor
what efforts they are making to render
the boycott effective. Failure to report
for six months shall be sufficient cause te
remove such boycotts as are not reported
on from the Observation-Disclosures list Of

Seven blacktish, smaller species of

Tarpon Springs one day week before last.
Each fish lay with its nose on the beach
and its tail pointed straight out 10 sea.
An old whaler who has seen as many as
800 of these fish thus beached in the
south Pacific explains that the 'blackfish

fairly churn the water. If in thus falling
one of them touches bottom with his tail
he takes>fright and rushes off in the Ci-

the rest rush after him in a panic, If
that direction happens to be landNard
they will run up so far on the beach
that they cannot get back and will die
there. .Es

ARTHUR J. CABLE.

A gentleman in all that the name implies was Arthur J. Gable and there was general regret in Newtown when it was known that he had passed away on Friday night: ,i5tdn Failing 9 health health ate, and there is no doubt but that the change prolonged his life. MT Gable was 5l years old, and widow and two children, William A. Cable, who is employed by the Bridgeport Trust Co.,, and Miss Sara O. Cable, sur yive him. For the past two years MT Cable had been in poor health. Mir Cable was essentially a self-made man. He was born in Wilton and worked on his fathers farm in his boyhood days. He went to Bridgeport about of Russell's bakery on Main street, now known as the City Bakery. By unflagging industry and strict atten- tion to duty he worked himself up and became a member of the firm of O.. Russell .& Go. and was active in its management for many years. About six years ago his health began to fail and he was advised by his physician to leave the bakery and take up some business that would take him out doors more. He then formed the real estate firm of A. J. Gable & Go. and was successful in it. He was mem- Der of Hamilton commandery, Knights
  MT Cable was also prominently identf- fled with Christ Episcopal church, was 8 member of it's vestry and for many years was junior warden. The funeral was held at 2 30 o'clock Monday after noon, at Christ church. There was a very large attendance at the church, including the members of Hamilton commandery, Knights Templar, the wardens and the vestry of Christ church, and others of MT Cables friends and associates in business and social life. Rev E. J Craft, rector of Christ church, was the officiating cler- gyman, and during the services several favorite hymns were sung by the quar-. tet choir of the South church.
