GAYN0R LAUDS ROOSEVELT.
Justice Compares the President tc
 Frederick the Great.

New York, Feb. 3.-In his address before the Peoples forum in New Ro- chelle, Justice Gaynor made it plain that his sympathies are largely with President Roosevelt He said that men guilty of infamous rascality" in the management of railroads now assail "the president and the government in the grossest manner" and of them he said, Little do they see what they will bring on themselves if they con- tinue on their course.'
 Justice Gaynor compared MT. Roose- welt to Frederick the Great. He re- minded his hearers that Frederick the Great had been called insane. There is an 'erratic man In Washington, said Gaynor. We hear much about him now, but the people know who is cratic. They know that you cannot get a great man without he has some great defect. Every purse proud in- dividual as we'll as reactionary dullard always considers a great character er- ratio or insane"

In spite of the talk. that William Jennings Bryan should be asked to step aside in favor of some other can didate for the nomination for the presidency, Mir Bryan is to-day easily the most popular man in the democra- tic party with a vast and idolized per sonal following whose vote can be transferred to no other If the repub- lican managers think it is going to be a holiday task to beat him they are living in a fools paradise. Among the many other attributes of this remark able man, he has clearly demonstrated that he possesses the ability to for give and forget his unqualified recog- milton of Representative William Bourke Cochran as democrat before the house committee on elections this week, although there was no man who more bitterly opposed him in the cam paign of 1896.

On the stock exchange the recent bank failures and troubles in finan- cial institutions had little effect, says Banker Clews. These were simply the aftermath of the panic and a part of the general housekeeping then undertaken. The local banking situ- ation has been immensely improved and is now in very satisfactory con- dition, despite the fact that some Of the difficulties created by the panic are only now coming to the surface. Should any more of these troubles be exposed, they need now cause no loss of confidence in the banking situation in this city. Those in control are fully determined to eliminate the weak features, and raise the standards of banking conduct in New York. In future it may be depended upon that bank management in this city will fall upon men who as presidents and di- rectors stand high, not only as re- gards ability, but whose reputation for integrity and disinterestedness will be beyond question. The panic will at least have had one good eff feet in that it will immensely raise the standards and ethics of bankin in this the second banking center of the world.

Few and far between are the steam ships entering the port of Boston that cannot boast of a canary. No matter how battered and rusty the craft may be. one is pretty sure to find the canary somewhere in the rooms of the officers or crew. Its cage, as a rule. is a won- derful creation of brass wire and lace, and the canary himself usually Is singer whose trill and whistle are of the best The little songsters appear to enjoy life on the ocean Seldom are they inconvenienced by the motion of the vessel. and the more the cage swings from it's hook the more they uarble. Sailors will tell you a canary Is a mascot Be that as it may. the canaries are great pets. Frequently one may see a sailor on the water front lugZing his bird and cage to some new berth.-Boston Herald

 Joseph H. Choate spoke of race track gambling as a menace to the young men of the state, and the Rev. Dr. stephen s. Wise, taking the plea that race tracks were operated to improve the breed of horses. said the duty of the state was not to breed horses. but to breed men. He described the Percy Gray law, under which gambling Is permitted on race tracks. as "a piece of anarchy"

CHILEANS TO WELCOME EVANS
Steamer Chartered at Valparaiso to

 Punta Arenas, Strait of Magellan, Feb. 3.-The officers and men of the American fleet, now that the warships are safely riding an anchor, are begin ming to enjoy hospitality ashore. Om- cial visits have been exchanged, and guns were booming all day. Admiral Thomas returned the visit of Admiral Simpson, the head of the Chilean dele gation which came here on the cruiser Chacabuco, to Admiral Evans, and there were cordial greetings on both sides.
 There is great enthusiasm here and hearty desire on the part of the resi- dents to make the stay of the Ameri- cans an enjoyable one. A banquet was given at Chacabuco to the officers, and ball has been arranged for them at the residence of the American consular agent, MoriH Braun. Rowing compe- titions between the various champion crews of the vessels also are being ar ranged.
 A steamer has been chartered here to take 800 passengers out into the Pa cif1c ocean to greet the American bat tleship fleet when it arrives of the Chilean coast.

After Governor Hughes announced he would be a candidate for the presi- dential nomination, poll of the United States senate was taken, not including those who are candidates, and Mir Hughes received but two votes, while Taft received twenty.nine and Knox and Fairbanks five each and the others scattering. Ten sena- tors were non-committal. This shows that the fight in the republican ranks is Taft against the field and with the administration doing all it can to help Taft. even to the extent of appoint ments to office to influence votes. he therefore should have the inside track. But there is the unknown quantity how the delegates from some of the southern states will vote, for they will undoubtedly hold the balance of power. Usually the administration Is all powerful with the office holders in the southern states, but under the policy of Mir Roosevelt of eliminating as much as possible the negro vote. there may be a revolt against the fa- vored lilly whites" if the negroes prove capable of making their great ly superior numbers count.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation. but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is 1t. then. you ask, that bsckache 90 often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear Aown faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork--the strain upon the back that is SO com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail In their work, and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back Is only a warning of trouble In the kidneys. An infam- mation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.

GREATEST LUMBER CUT.
Output Last Year Breaks All Previous
 Records.

More lumber was cut in the United States last year than in any other year in it's history. The enormous amount of 37,55O, ,736 board feet was produced, and the mill value of this was S62l, 151 1888. In addition, there were pro- duced ,S5S,26O,00O shingles, valued at S24,155,555, and 3,S12, ,S0T, 900 lath, valued at S11, ,490,570. On the whole, it is safe to say that the present an- nual lumber cut of the United States approximates 40 billion feet, and that the total mill value of the lumber. lath. and shingles each year produced is not less than $700,0O0O00. These figures give some idea of how vast is the lumber industry and how great is the demand for its products.
 A glance at the kinds of lumber pro- duced shows very clearly the passing of white pine and oak, one the great est softwood and the other the great est hardwood which the forest has ever given. Since 1899 the cut of white pine has fallen off more than 40 per cent, while that of white oak has fall en of more than S6 per cent. To- day yellow pine leads all other woods in amount cut. while Douglas fir and this will be surprise to many comes second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas fir has increased 1S6 per cent. Louisiana is the foremost yellow pine state, with Texas, Mississippi. and Ar kansas following in order. Washing ton produces by far the greatest amount of Douglas fir.
 A comparison of the lumber produe- ing states shows that since 1899 there have been many changes in their relative rank. Washington, which in 1899 stood sixth. now leads. while Wisconsin. which eight years ago led all others, is now third. In the same period Oregon. Louisiana, Mississippi. Idaho and California made great strides as lumber producing states, though, on the other hand. the arount produced in Michigan. Wisconsin. Min nesota, Georgia. Kentucky, Tennessee. Missouri. Indiana and Ohio fell of anywhere from 29 to 54 per cent.
 The highest priced native woods are walnut. hickory and ash. and the cheapest are larch and white fir. From the fact. however, that since 1893 the average increase in the price of lum- her has been 49 per cent. it will not be long before cheap woods are few and far between.
 Figures upon the lumber cut Of the United States In 1fs5 are contained in circular I22 of the forest service. which can be had upon application to the forester. United States department of agriculture. Washington. D. C.
