and of this fact Mr.. De Windt had
unpleasant proof.
In the district called Ropitza an
elderly Turk urged us to pass the
night at squalid inn where our
driver had taken us. Failing to per-
suade US, the old villain disap-
peared, and so effectively piled our

OF the vast amount of coffee which
the Brazilian Government bought in
during the winter of 1906-7 it has
sold very little. Last month it put
up at public auction about 100000
bags to establish an official price for
| its holdings. This was necessary in
order to form basis for the new ten
year loan of s50,O0O,OO0 that is in
preparation to take up all the orig

to be increased from co cents to 81

terest and sinking fund to wipe out

There is much similarity between
this coffee scheme and the demands
of cotton growers in the Southern
States of this country, who in recent
years demanded that the Government
help them carry their cotton. Like
wise Kansas farmers have made de-
mands that the Government issue
money based on their wheat and
corn. The action of the Brazilian
Government would be analogous to
the United States Government pur-
chasing the surplus wheat crop of
America in some year of extraordin-
ary yield to keep the price from fall
ing below some fixed figure, as 75
cents, or even 81 a bushel-The

Queer Shade Delivers Messages After
Church is Locked.
Old st. Pauls Church, headquar-
ters of the Protestant Episcopal City
Mission, has a ghost. 1t is an eccen-
trio shade which whisks up stair
ways and disappears into nothing
ness, but it is also up to date. When
the Office force has departed and the
quaint old building on Third street
is secure against intruders with
stout locks and bolts the ghost an
swers the telephone, which conduct
is so utterly foreign to the popular
conception of ghosts abilities that it
has dumbfounded Rev. H. Cresson
McHenry and his assistants.
On two occasions the strange Wis
itor has answered the phone when
the Office force was absent and the
building locked. Its answers, al
though briefly made, have indicated
that the ghost is we'll acquainted with
the movements of the staff. The
shade informed a friend of Mr.. Nc
Henry that he had just left the mis-
sion," and to Mrs. George Sommer-
er, wife of one of Mr.. McHenry's as
sistants, it impaired the information
that her husband would be home to
supper" Both persons who con-
versed with the unknown occupant
of the mission declare that its voice
was modulated to the softest tones.
Mr.. McHenry saw the ghost on July
4th. The Office force had a holiday,
but Mr.. McHenry visited the church
to open his mail. AS he was unlock
ing the iron gates at the entrance to
the churchyard he glanced up at one
of the windows and was astonished to
see what appeared to be man stand
ing on the stairway inside the build
ing.
The stairway leads from the Offices
of the City Mission in the basement
to the church auditorium. AS Mr..
McHenrw opened the gate the figure
| glided rapidly up the stairway, disap-
pearing from view. The minister en-
tered the church, locked the door be-
hind him to prevent the escape Of the
intruder and searched the entire
church from cellar to roof. He failed
to find any trace of the visitor.
Every door and window was locked
securely and the desks untouched.-

The Duties of the District Leader.

To Harper's Weekly John S. Burke
contributes vivid and amusing
sketch of the duties of the district
leader in the New York political sys-
TEN.
Although the assertion would
contain much truth" he writes, ut
would not be the whole truth to say
the District Leader preserves his po-
litical existence by his adroitness in
administering the most skilfully or
ganized charity in New York. Pri-
marily the Leader lives by being in
right with the organization that
rules the city, and thus getting his
share of fat contracts-not to men,
ton other sources of gain that have
been used at times by the unscrupu-
lous. The Leader keeps control of
his Assembly district only so long as
he dominates it absolutely. Let one
election show that he cannot bring
out the party vote at its full strength
and his sceptre is taken from him.
Long ago the shrewd Leader recog-
nized the fact that he who pays
money for mans vote is uncertain
as to the delivery OF the goods pur-
chased, and is certain to be despised
by the man forever after. Whereas
the politician who finds work for the
unemployed, and food and rent for
his family until pay day comes, is
sure of that mans gratitude. He
need not worry about how the man
will vote"

Dew.

Dew does not fail" in the senss
that rain does. 1t has been scien-
tifically demonstrated that dew is
simply the moisture that is distracted
from the air by the rapid cooling OF
the bodies with which that air comes
in contact; as. for example. the
moisture that is seen of a summer
day on the outside of a pitcher con-
tanning ice water. Dew is not formed
on windy nights, because the drifting
air then brings its own temperature
to the radiating bodies. and prevents
them from getting cooled as speedily
as they would otherwise do.

Maui Town Prepared To

Everything necessary for a grand
reception to the men and officers of
the Maui section of the Fleet is ready
at Lahaina. But Lahaina is qucs-
tloning itself. The water-tender Are
thusia passed their way last night
without so much as a hello, and sail
ed on down to Maalaea Bay.
During the afternoon, yesterday
the word was passed in Lahaina that
the first boat of the coming Fleet
would be in there in the afternoon.
Quite a crowd gathered to watch the
auyhOring of the boat. But there
was disappointment for the crowd.
The only attention given to Lahaina
waters was by a sailor on the port
side of the vessel, who was heaving
the lead. Knowing ones had guessed
she would pass without stopping, MS
the lug-linc was still slapping the
water when she came abaft the La

them" is an undecided question.
A plausible explanation given of
why the ships are to be coaled at Ma
alaea Bay instead of in Kaanapali
waters is that there has been a con-
fusion of names. Old charts give the
waters off Kaanapali a name that
lacks but one syllable and vowel to
make the name Maalaea.
Maui people can't understand why
the ships should be coaled in Maa-
laea. Nearly everyone remarks:
well, they'll get rough-sea expert
ence there" Another favorite Maui
remark in reference to Maalaea is
something like this:
We'll, now, won't 1t be ringer
for the first liberty bunch put ashore
at McGregor's landing!"
AS n matter of fact. the Maalaea
Bay story has been discredited by ev-
eryone on Maui since II was first re-
ported, except by some small Japan
csc merchants near McGregor's. Gus
toners are an Event in that district
and they believe the Fleet is to fur
nish one for them.
