JAPANESE COOLIES ARE SAVES
Clothes and Money Advanced BY
Contractors Keep Then in
gervfauHe.

The japanese and Corean coolies be-
fore they land at the Honolulu half way
house, enroufe to the United States, pre-
sent a very different appearance from that
which they make after they have passed
through the hands OF the willy contractors
agents Of the Hawaiian port The coolies
leaving Japan and Corea under contract
to work in this country say farewell to
their native land attired for the most part
In their native costumes.
II is a part Of the agreement which
they enter into with the contractors that
they will be provided with suitable Ameri-
can clothing and given instructions as to
the proper manner to wear the same, by
ethe contractors at Honolulu. The bills
for this clothing outit are In most cases
charged up against them and they land at
San Francisco owing a considerable sum
Of money to the contractors. for the cloth
ing and money advanced, which sum is to
be gradually repaid out OF their wages.
Open-work socks, fancy waistcoats
gaudy necxwear, patent leather ties and
other expensive and superhuous articles Of
apparel are forced upon the ignorant
coolies by the soheming contractors, who
make a large profit on all Of the articles
sold. As a result of this system, this
coolie is so heavily in debt to the con.
tractor for clothing, board money ad-
vanced, steamer and railroad fare, that
all he is able to exc out in the United
States is a bare existence. His condition
is often one of virtual slavery. When his
debt to the labor contractor is repaid
he is a free man and can work wherever
he chooses, but the contractors see to Il
that as long as they need the ooolie they
keep him in debt. Should the japanese
coolie violate his contract he must reckon
with the Japanese Association of America
which has agencies everywhere in the
United States and all the power of a labos
union to enforce a boycott and punish
any Japanese who violates a contract
with an immigration company.--5an Fran

Maintenance OUTLAWS. 2tssas2 M,TOsOo 6
While Eross earnings have increased
nearly 80 per cent conducting transporta-
ton costs have increased only IS per cent,
which is a fair indication Of the econo-
niles effected by the operating department
Of the Burlington. But maintenance ex-
penses have increased nearly 70 per cent
and here e whore the money has gone.
Last year the Burlington reported a sur
plus overcharges Of nearly N2OoO,OO0. II
might have been s9O.OOOOOO with due regard
to the preservation OF the property just as
well as not. In view Of the big development
in gross earnings this year there Ia no
reason why It could not be tzi,OOO,OOO or
S22.OOOOO0 II 80 much work properly charge
able to capital account were not charged TO
operating expenses.
The growth Of the Burlington. It's present
sound financial and physical condition.
makes the day when the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern will receive some
recompense not far distant.
OH Most Excellent Fuel.
I'VE have one engine on the northwest
lines equipped for burning OIL" said Gen
eral Manager Walters OF the Northwest
ern, land It is proving immensely success
full. The OIL used was picked out OF the
bitches from seepings from wells already
sunk eight miles north Of Lander. 1t Is
most excellent for fuel purposes, and we
now want 10 arrange TO get enough of this
oil to Justify us in eQuipping more locOmo-
tives."
The success Of these experiments should
be a great boost to the oil industries in
Wyoming, for several wells have been sunk
which showed a good quality, and the
principal difficulty was they were too far
from the markets, but with the roads using
oil in their locomotives, the industry should
prosper. A large amount Of Ignite coal
also is mined in that section Of Wyoming,
but It contains too large a percentage OF
water to be available for use iffNlocomo-
tives, and the oil seems to be the solution
OF the problem"
Mr.. Walters says he has notified the
people of Lander Of the success of the
experiments and he looks for a boom In
the oil business. II can be secured cheaply
and in large quantities.
The trials given by the Northwestern
probably will be an incentive to the other
roads to take up the oil burners and thus
another market win be found for another
OF the products of Wyoming.
Big Travel to jamestown.
General Northern Agent Spinning Of the
Big Four road in Chicago makes the as
sertion that in his opinion, at least rs per
cent as many people will go from the ter
ritory east of the Mississippi river to
the jamestown exposition as visited the
st. Louis fair from the same district. This
assertion is based upon inquiries and special
party business that is now being planned
and contracted for. Arrangements are
being made for the movement Of organi.
cations and orders to the number Of 500
passengers TO go from this city alone dur
ing May. This will be special train bust
ness and will have nothing to do with the
regular travel.

1t appears that gross earnings last year
increased $s.0O0,OOQ. and while but a small
increase was shown in 1906 1904 showed a
large increase, and the earnings OF 1908

900. In view OF this tremendous expansion
in gross earnings since 1901. viz: nearly

One might think from the foregoing flg-
urea that the Burlington has not been doing
very well Last year II appears that the
net earnings showed material decrease

years ago. Yet the gross business Of the

MEMORIAL FOR PRUDENCE
 CRANDALL.
Because She Taught Colored
 Girls.

Canterbury, Nov. 26.rThere is a movement here to erect memorial on Canterbury green to Prudence CrandalL Miss Crandal was persecuted by her .townspeopIe because she taught colored children how to read, and the memorial will probably be set up near the grave of Elder Levi Kneeland, the founder of Packerville church, who defended Miss Crandall.
 Prudence Crandall was the daughter of Quaker parents and was born in Hopkinton, R. l., September 3, 1903. She was reared in the strict discipline of the Society of Friends, as was her brother Hezekiah. Her school training was excellent and when young woman she taught school at Plainfield, N. H., and later came here and opened an acad- emy for young women. In the fall of 1882 Miss Crandall admitted to the academy Sarah Harris, colored. Trou- ble began and Miss Crandall was wait ed upon by committee headed by An drew T. Judson, the district attorney and candidate for federal judge at the I-time. She was asked to send Miss i Harris away. The outcome was that on March ?, 1883, Miss Crandall insert ed an advertisement in the Liberator that hereafter she would teach only colored girls. The countryside was aroused and Miss Crandall was the sub ject of much annoyance, and a week l later a town meeting was held to con slider the matter.
 MT. Judson conducted the argument against Miss Crandall which took much the form of a trial, She was put in Brooklyn jail for two or three days as the outcome of the meeting, but the charge against her was not definitely formulated, but was in effect that of shielding colored girls.
 Rev. MT. Kneeland also went to the same Jail for shielding Miss Crandall. Captain Daniel Packer secured their release by giving bonds. Miss Gran dall afterwards married Rev. Calvin Philo, a Baptist clergyman, and went west. Her brother and other members of the family lived nearly all their lives In Canterbury, honored and respected by all.
 Miss Crandall was at one time the re- cipient of pension of $4OO year, and the bill granting this was introduced by a Canterbury representative.
 | The movers in the plan for a memo rial are confident of securing enough funds to permit of the unveiling of the memorial March next, the seventy fourth anniversary of her conviction by .I a town meeting.

FRANCISCO GuARDr.

There Is misconception as to Guardis extraction, which it is of some importance at the outset to re- move. The Venetians and the rest of the world have cherished the be- lief that Guardl, the greatest of Venetian landscape painters"-as an accomplished writer has described him in the "Nuova Antolgia was a Venetian by birth. Guardi was of Ty- rolese- that is, -eprentage, and Venice cannot alone claim him. His fathers home was a small village, named Mastellina, which is situated in the Val di Sole, Italian Tyrol. His mother was also Austrian, and, app parentIy, a Viennese lady. Guardfs extraction from a mountain bred stock like Titian's seems to account for his wonderful vitality, strength and energy. It also follows from the fact that he was not a Venetian by descent that he was, not, strictly < speaking, a decadent as he is some times called Whence Guardl drew the secret of his wonderful art we are not told. His father, Domenico, who was a painter, died at Venice, i his adopted home, a few years only after Francesca was born; history does not relate what became of his mother after her husbands death. As is we'll known, Guardi entered the school of Ganale, who, soon after his return from Rome, made a name for himself as a painter of Venetian views It might have been expected that 1 Guardi would have come under the in- fuence of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, who married Cecilia, his sister, but his talented brother-in-law was a figure painter. The absence of all in- formation as to the relations which existed between Tiepolo and Guardi not unnaturally opens up wide field for conjecture. It has recently been suggested by critic of fertile imagi- nation that Tiepolo sometimes insert ed figures in Guardi's pictures;, of such collaboration between the two there is no trace When Guardi had developed into an artist, Francesca Casanova, the brother of the notor- ious adventurer, was apprenticed to him; and the writer of the Memoirs
 (Glacomo Casanova) relates piquant episode concerning Guardi's excessive severity toward his pupil, the result of which was that the latter left his teacher and went to the studio oi Francesca Simonini where he learned to paint battle scenes.
 Putting aside the map or Guardi's life, we may ask wherein his specia
 aptitude for depicting Venice con. George A. simonson, in The Nineteenth Century.

ALLowANcE To CHILDREN

BRINGS GOOD RESULTS.
 Teach children to be helpful in the home. Let them learn to do all of the little necessary things about home, and you will be surprised at the inter- est even very young children will take in learning to make a bed or dust a room or fill the flower vases, if mother Is the teacher and the child under- stands he or she is doing something really grown up' and useful.
 It is not wise to pay children for very lite errands or tasks they may perform, but it is wise, doubly wise in home of a small income, to begin early giving the children a weekly al- lowance-f it is only penny or two, five or ten cents, any amount that will prove the stepping-stone to teaching them the value of money.
 Many unhappy homes to-day are the result of the lack of this very knowl- edge, says the Circle, If the child is taught from the first that certain sum is his to do with as he pleases, ex- cept that he must save something of it to put in his savings bank, he will soon learn to plan and think before spending, and will, in consequence, spend judiciously. A child must be taught not to spend every penny, or he will never save anything. If penny were saved out of every doar spent there would be less 'scrimping' to make both ends meet with both young and old housewives and heads of fami- lies.
