age of injustice to the community it.
self In the first place, some merchant
loses the profit on sale. Not only
that, but the price of the article rep
resents so much of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
is not working. Having capital tied
up means that the operations of the
merchant are curtailed to that extent.
He has that much less to spend: that
much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage of the
butcher. the baker and the other pur-
veyorG of the necessities of life; to in
tisnC: to deposit in bank where it
may ce used by other members of the
community. or to devote to church or
charity. The money which goes to the
mail order house decreases the per
capita of circulation in the community;
factor which determines largely the
value of all goods or property on the
market: the scale of wages and the in
terest on loans.
1t is not hard to trace the effect OF
the diversion of money from its legiti-
mate channels. When money is scarce
trade languishes because of the lack
of circulating medium: merchants and
all others curtail expenses: the volume
of trade decreases and nothing re-
stores activity in trade but an increase
from some quarter of the circulating
medium. When the volume OF money
Increases. trade moves and 1t moves
as fast as the volume OF money will
permit. Money that is working is con-
stantly producing profit to all; money
that is not working produces stagna-
tion in trade.
Accordingly. 1t is to the interest of
every member of a community to con-
fine his expenditures as nearly as pos
sible TO the community in which he
lives. Every dollar he spends AZ home
helps to make his own holdings more
valuable because they are more salable.
When community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and II the money is not divert
ed. It revolves constantly in the finan-
cial circle OF the community, earning
profit for everyone who handles 1t
and turns II over.
Accordingly, the money spent at
home Is bearing compound interest for
the community. Its effect IL apparent
even to the outsider. Spending money
at home Is a species OF loyalty which
makes materially for the progress Of

Girls Have More Liberty.

One idea in the mind of girls of to
day is that parents should not inter.
fere with their goings and comings.
Why it has come about is somewhat
of question, for there is really no
less obligation on the part of parents
to know daughters associates and
the places she goes than there was on
mothers concerning themselves a gen.
"ration ago. A perfectly natural fact
is that normal young people crave
amusement and If this is not provided
at home it will assuredly be sought
elsewhere. This is true of the girl
who has nothing to do, as well as for
her friend who has to work all day.
and both will turn to recreation away
from home if none is to be found
there.-Chicago Daily News.

every community to reinvest the
money it produces in the community
which produces it.
The chance Of being swindled is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver-
tised at cut prices often fail to meas
ure up to the description of the adver-
tisement. The few cents which is
saved on the price of an article so
bought is usually sacrificed in the
quality of the article Buying from the
mail order house is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
home merchant without examining:
the goods. but will often send hij
money to mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented. How often this
faith is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods Of
fered for sale at home. II the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for little while, he would probably
find that the goods offered at home are
of better quality and as good bargains
as the mall order goods. taking quail
ity into consideration. II this pre-
sumption is true, the buyer OF mail or
der goods is distinct loser as he has
secured inferior goods and has robbed
the community In which he lives, as
well as himself. of the use OF the
money. F. r. SINGLETON.

ONE MAN NOT PLEASED.
Orators Compliment to Town Called
Forth Warm Protest.

Two interesting stories are told Of
the late Gen. w. II. l.. Barnes, of Cali.
fornia. One concerns a campaign
speech that the general made in Red
ding. Being a diplomat as well as an
orator, Barnes. who had not been in
Redding for a decade or more, sought
to say something fiattering about the
towns growth. When he reached the
filling in stage OF his speech, he said:
Il want to congratulate the citizens Of
Redding on the wonderful progress Of
their beautiful city. When l was last
here, not many years ago. had to put
up at ramshackle hotel, with poo.
accommodation and badly cooked
food. What do find to-day? A mag
nif1cent caravansary with a cuisine
worthy of metropolis" The compli-
ment won applause, and after the
meeting was over many of the audi.
tors crowded to the platform to shake
hands with the speaker. One old fel-
low, with . pioneer beard, waited pa
tiently for his turn. When he reached
the general he calmly put his hands
behind him, shook his head angrily
and blurted out: "All l want to say
Is that you're white-headed old falsi-
fer. kept that hotel"
The other story deals with the spe
cial session of the legislature called
to fill the vacancy caused by the
failure of the solons of 1899 to elect
a United States senator. Barnes
wanted the honor, but the compromis-
ers passed him by and picked out
Thomas r. Bard, of Ventura. The
night of Bards' election Gov. Gage was
reused from his bed by a caller who
refused to wait until morning. Gage
opened the door and there stood Gen.
Barnes. Governor" said the general
solemnly. you called this session to
fill vacancy. Instead of filling va
cancy you have created one" And
then without another word the general
stalked away.

Speaking of the occurrence, he
said:

direction. In about As minutes we

1850 o'clock.
THE wind at this time became very
sharp, blowing about SIS miles an hour.

We debated whether we should keep
at 1t and run the risk of being blown
out to sea or make a descent. We de-
cided on the landing. When we f.

the community. II the community Is
composed OF the sort of people who
spend their money at home It ad-
vances rapidly. There is money for
public improvements, money for new
enterprises. The money which the
loyal man makes at home is invested
at home; the city grows, the streets
are improved and the marks of pros
perity and progress are evident on
every side
We are wont to inveigh against the
wealthy man who makes his money in
one town and invests it in another.
We criticize him for want OF loyalty
TO the community which produced his
wealth and feel that we are done an
injustice by his failure to put his
money in home enterprises which
would increase the business and pros
perity of our city. The criticism, is
justified and it holds just as good in a
lesser Gegree to the man who trades
out OF town. 1t is the same offense
on smaller scale.
The effect Of the reverse policy Is
promptly seen. The writer has in
mind a notable instance. Two cities
of about $4,000 population each are
situated on opposite sides of a river
which is boundary between two
states. Each contains several million
aires who made their money in the
lumber trade in the two towns. The
millionaires OF one of the cities are
putting their money into other indus
tries in the same town as the lumber
ing goes out AS result, the town IL
rapidly forging to the front; every one
is prosperous, the demand for houses
exceeds the supply; property is valu-
able and every one is working. The
millionaires of the town across the
river are investing their money in
western AID southern pine lands. The
town is languishing for lack of money;
new industries cannot start because of
lack of capital; merchants are fail
ing; stores and houses are being va
Gated; people are moving away and a
general air of poverty and decay per-
vades the place.
Few cities present such strong ex-
amples of the value of money spent at
home but the same principle holds
true in every community. 1t is due

THE DeLUCIA CASES.

Judge Blydenburgh Will File Demurrer
 at Once.
 Judge Blydenburgh was asked yes- terday if the pleas in the murder case against Custode and Angelo DeLucia would be allowed to stand, or whether they will be withdrawn in court this week to arrange for other preliminary steps. When the cases were called Judge Blydenburgh reserved the right to withdraw the pleas for the filing of 8 demurrer if he so desired.
 He said a demurrer would be filed at once, claiming that the charge that Custode, Angelo and Luciano DeLucia fired the pistol which killed Rafaele Petrone at the National Folding Box and Paper plant is faulty, in that it is a physical imposslbility for three men to fire one revolver.
 The police have in custody Custode DeLucia and his father, Angelo DeLu- cia, but have failed to catch Luciano DeLucia.
 If the demurrer is sustained the au- thorities will have to set forth which of the men fired the pistol, and the de- fense will fight the case, showing that neither of the men in custody did the shooting, and they will be aided by the fact that on the night of the murder the father, Angelo, stated that Luciano did the shooting.

FOR PROBATE COURT,

There is perhaps more than likeli- hood that the city will purchase the old Trowbridge property in Elm street, in conjunction with the Bristol prop erty, as a site for the new Ives library, but, according to present plans, the whole of the Trowbridge property will not be needed as site, and there are new plans on foot to turn the Trow- bridge residence to city use. It is un- derstood that only ten feet of the Trow- bridge property will be needed to add on to the library site and it is proposed that the Trowbridge mansion be pre- served and remodeled to make build ing in which the probate court may meet and quarters for the board of ed ucation may be provided. It is a very substansial house and could easily be accommodated to public needs.
 It is said that the board of finance is discussing these plans and will be fa- vorable to them finally.

Hyperion Audience Follows the Man
 from Cooks to South Africa.
 The humorous travel-lecture seems to have experienced a sad come down from the time when Mark Train made half million at it in year. and Arte- mas Ward used to pack the biggest hall in London every night for whole sea- son on end. The audience which took in R. G. Knowles, who lectured at the Hyperion last night on "A Visit to South Africa" was hardly enough to pay for the lights, which was a pity for MT. Knowles gave a very entertain ing talk freely interspersed with fov- ing pictures of the scenes he described.
 Ireland, England, Madeira, and Cape Town were all described where the lec- turer went on to the Kimberly mines and the tomb of Cecil Rhodes, also giv- ing his audience graphic description Of Zimbabue ruins. As the speaker dwelt upon the beauty of the country in the vicinity of the Zanbezi river. as it passes through Beira, some fine views were exhibited, making a vivid impress sion upon those present. MT. Knowles will give several lectures in this city and in view of the quality of last eve ning's entertainment he is likely to have a much larger audience on his next visit.
