Is the Sailors Friend,

Sixty thousand sailors look to H. A. Hanbury for advice and for protec' tion. MT. Hanbury is the United States shipping commissioner for the port of New York. He is the sailors judge and jury. The men who sign on foreign craft now must appear be- fore him for their papers instead of going to the consuls of the various countries. He decides all disputed questions between the men and their sailing masters. Many of the abuses of these men that formerly were com mon, such as compelling them to buy their outfits from the ship owners or captains, have been done away with under MT. Hanbury's rule. His ofice Is on the Battery park, New forh' where he easily can reach all the ships leaving that port.

STRANGE BIRD IS SHOT.

Inhabitants in the region of Zion's Mill, Lee county, Virginia, are greatly puzzled over the discovery of strange bird in the mountains near by by J. F. Witt, merchant of that place. The bird is of great size, measuring nine feet from tip to tip. The feathers are perfectly white, except the tips of the wings, which are black.
 Its head and bill are IS inches in length, its webbel feet are seven inches across. A great pouch under it's till holds a gallon of water, and this gives the idea that the bird must be of the pelican family, found in southern waters. It is supposed that the b,rd was. driven to the north by storm and lost its bear ings. It will be brought to Knox. vile, Tenn, mounted and exhib. ited.

Tarqets for Anqlers.

Not long ago several wood disks, one foot in diameter, painted white, and each provided with line and a lead weight, were placed in the pool in Central park, this city, by the Anglers club, for targets for fly and bait-casting. AS granitOid walk adjoins the eastern end of the pool, and the targets furthest from the casting platform are near this walk, thousands of park visitors worry the lives out of the policemen and park employees with questions relative to the purpose of the white disks. They have been asked if the strange things are early lilypads and-everything un' der the sun an idle lounger can i'm agine. One of the patrOlmen told me the other day that his naturally sweet temper had been ruined since the ap' pearance of them things" But the most curious questions of all was fired at me one day as l watched the anglers practicing.
 Are those tin cans used in fish breeding?" asked the visitor.
 What cans?" l queried, not grasp ing his meaning.
 Why, those tin cans in the lake,
 "Oh! No, those are targets. For est and Stream.

INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.
How One Company's Assets Are Dis. trbuted in the South and West.

In connection with its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that 75%o of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxa tion, in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of it's assets, at the end of the second year of the new management The Equit- able now has $1095S, GOO invested in Texas, which is twice as much as the new law requires, but the manage ment decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injus- tice to it's policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens.
 The Equitable's report shows that more than 37%o of it's total reserves are now invested in the southern and western states, while only 35go of it's total insurance is carried in these states. It's investments are distributed as follows: Ala, $3,099,000 Ariz., s974 ,000; Ark, $4,O3S,OO Cal, $5,- 142 ,OO0; Col, s5,222, ,OO0; Fla, $4,924,- GOO; Ga, s4,O4S,00O; Idaho, s5,197,O 900; H., $12,617 900; Ind.

WOULD NOT BE DOWNED
How Henry PIumIey Turned what Many Would Consider Misfortune
 Into GIittering Success.

'sNothing succeeds like persever- ence." said Mark Twain at a dinner. 'When the luck seems most against us. then we should work and hope hardest of all. In moments of dis couragement let us remember my old friend Plumley of Virginia City.
 "Henrv Plumlev ran a collar fac tory. Times were reputed to be hard with him. When his factory, which was very heavily insured, burned down, there was every ln- dication that he had set the place on fire himself in order to get the insurance money. Virginia City was the soul of honor in those days. Shocked beyond words, it rose en masse, seized Henry Plumley, put halter round his neck, and lynched him.
 But he did not die. The sheriff arrived and cut him down in time. He was tried and found guilty, and he served term i'll jail.
 "On his release you wouldn't have thought that he'd return to Virginia City again, eh? He did, though. He came back, reopened his collar factory and prospered.
 "What gave him his start was the odd advertisement with which he announced his return to business among us. Preceded by brass band, Henry, in great gilt chariot, burst upon our streets. He sat on a kind of golden throne, and he held on a crimson cushion in his lap an old, old collar Above the collar on crimson banner waved this inscription ill huge letters of gold:
 "'This is the collar we wore when we were lynched. It saved our life. Be wise in time and use no other. At all retailers, ten cents apiece, three for a quarter.

NOT USED TO SUCH LIGHTS

AT the st. Regis hotel TODAY there
mas been many good laugh over
an incident that occurred at the
popular hostlery last night.
Two ladies' occupying one of the
elegant guest chambers. which, like
all of the other guest chambers. is
lighted by the means of a regulation
electric bulb or jet encased I'm a
pretty oval globe. Late in the even
ing the night clerk was summoned
to the room. One of the ladies said
to him. ''I wish you would put out
this light for us, can't to save nv
life blow the thing out"
The obliging clerk informed her
that there was no need to attempt
to blow out the light as it was an
electric jet and that all that was
necessary was to turn the little cut
on one way and out would 90 the
light and by turning il again on the
light would come. The clerk demon
strated the simple process.
We'll" said one of the fair ladies'
we don't know, for we haven't been
used to those lights in bottles"
The clerk courteously suppressed
the generous smile and silently and
swiftly faded away.

40 HE'LL WITH TAXPAYERS
Representative Hoyt Votes for Sher
man Bell War Debt in
House.

Sherman Bell once said, to hell
/ with the constitution Every mem
Der who votes for this bill says, to
hell with the taxpayer.
This is the statement of Repreesen-
tative Bellesfield, of Pueblo, in ex-
PLANTATION of his vote against tn $500
600 Cripple Creek war debt steal.
Jammed through the house on third
reading on Monday afternoon after
the most shameless application of
gag rule that has yet occurred in a
session notorious for resort to this
method of shutting of inquiry into
iniquitous measures.
Speaker Breckenridge deliberately
prevented any debate on the bill, and
when called down by Vincent of Delta
for the high handed manner in
which he was assisting the looting
of the treasury, he uttered this de-
claration:
'If l see fit to waive any rule of
this house I shall do it; IL not
won't"
This was but an important part
in the game by which the taxpayers
are to. be robbed out of 100000 on
bill for which the lobbyists two
years ago offered $4,000 per vote.
And this offer was made on the
strength of the 100000 compro-
mise bond issue.
Representative Clifton Wilder of
La Jara, author of the bill, read on
the floor Friday what purported to
be letter from Auditor Statler, stat
ing that the debt amounted to $780,
900. Examination of the report of
Former Auditor Holmburg shows
that the amount of the debt, includ-
Eng Cripple Creek. Telluride and
Colorado City riots is S,703 Is.
And this sum includes all of the graft
warrants overcharges, steals and
everything else that could possibly
be piled up against the state by the
officers of the militia and put down"
riots.
Representative A. b. Hoyt, of
Grand Junction voted for the pay
ment of the war debt without max
ing single protest.
Vincent of Delta, was the only
Republican from this section of the
state who had the nerve to denounce
the Infamous debt and to vote against
it.
The vote stood 3S for the passage
and 26 against, several Republicans
voting with the Democrats.

UMA1lLlA WHEAT CROP.
Some Big Yields Reported From Pen
dIeton.

PENDLETON, July 26.-Reports of
wheat yields are now being brought
in from the sections where threshing
is under way, and all accounts show
most favorable results. On the reser-
va-ion and in the vicinity of Adams,
where threshing is now in full blast,
reports show much 40-bushel wheat.
while frequently a field will yield so
bushels or more. The heaviest yield so
far reported is from the ranch of l..
L. Rogers, near Adams, where one
field yielded SIS bushels per acre.
While threshing has not been under
way long enough to reveal just what
the complete yields will be on the
various ranches. the amounts cut so
far give some indication of the out
come. On the Tom Thompson and
the Maloney & Hodgens ranches on the
reservation, 4O-bushel crops are re-
ported. The same is true on the Sam
Thampson place near Eastland while
on one of George Peringer's ranches
where harvesting is now on, the
wheat is said to be running between
80 and 35 bushels per acre.

JAMESTOWN, Va. July 26.-The
ISOLATION for the study and prevention
OF tuberculosis and the anti tuberculo-
sis league of Norfolk, Va. at the expo
sitioh at jamestown. is one of the
most interesting and important on the
entire grounds. One entire end of
the building IS utilized, the charts.
maps. photographs. etc, covering the
three side walls while several large
booths have been constructed in the
center of that part of the building to
display further exhibits and litera-
tUre.
The prime purpose of this exhibit.
which was opened by DR.. Livingston
Fal rand. is 10 show that consumption
can be prevented: then it contends
that. it can be cured. Its great argu-
ment is sanitation. and consequently
in spite of its gruesome nomenclature
there is Lothing sickening nor unpleas-
ant about the exhibit.
For the most part the display con-
sists of models of dwellings. hospitals.
sanitariums, tents, etc, together with
charts and pamphlet literature and the
var Gus appliances by the tuberculosis
experts in the prevention and cure of
the disease.
The health statistics of the United
States show that nearly Is per cent. of
the deaths in the country are caused
by consumption. In some sections OF
the country the mortality from this
source is naturally decidedly less. but
II other places it is shockingly high.
