PICKLES AND PATRIOTISM.
Pathetic Incident That Occurred After
 the War in the South.

Carl Schurz, In McClure's Magazine.
 The influence exercised by the feelings of the women of the south upon the con men was, of course, very great. Of these feelings I witnessed a significant mani- testation in a hotel at Savannah. At the public dinner table I sat opposite a lady in black, probably mourning. She was middle-aged. but still handsome, and of She seemed to be lad.' of the higher order of society.
 young lieutenant in Federal uniform took seat by my side, youth of fine feathers and gentlemanly appearance. The lady, as 1 happened to notice, darted a glance at him which, as 1t impressed me, indicated that the presence of the person in Federal uniform was highly ob- noxious to her. She seemed to grow restless, as If struggling with an excite ment hard to restrain.
 To judge from the tone of her orders to the waiter she was evidently impa- tient to finish her dinner. When She reached for a dish of pickles standing on the table at a little distance from her, the lieutenant got up and. with polite bow. took 1t and offered 1t to her. She withdrew her hand as If 1t had touched something loathsome, her eyes l flashed fire, and In a tone of wrathful scorn and indignation, she said: So you think a southern woman will take dish | of pickles from hand that is dripping with blood of her countrymenT' Thsr | she abruptly left the table, while the poor lieutenant. deeply blushing. apparently

GARDEN OF VOLCANOES
 IN SOUTHERN OREGON

From the Los Angeles Times
 It was the eminent professor of geol- ogy, Joseph Le Conte, who, after an examination and exploitation covering period of several years, said that South ern Oregon contains the largest garden of volcanoes of any other region Of sim- liar size in America. Up on the backbone of the oregon Sierras," beginning at the California line and travelling south ward, one passes within the shadow or a score of snow-glittering peaks, some Of them perfect in form, others torn, scared and bruised, and all bearing the marks of volcanic disturbance and eruption, most of them, in truth, having been in ages past volcanoes of immense size.
 Commencing at the southern boundary or Oregon, the first of these old volcanoes is Mt. Pitt, elevation 9S18, fianked on all sides by outlying spurs of lava. Twenty miles to the north is Union Peak, SloO feet high, an immense lava pile. Still further north stands Mt. Scott, elevation Sc16, it's slopes being composed Of ashes, pumice and volcanic debr1s. Near Mt. Scott is Castle Graz, lava pile, and Round Top, a mountain of pumice These peaks overlook Crater Lake, which rests serene in the crater of Mazama, the great est of Oregon's ancient volcanoes that were active when the new world was young Forty miles further north is Da- mond Peak, SS07 feet high, which also gives evidence of having at one time been Ill eruption. The portion of mountain chain from Mt. Scott to Diamond Peak, according to Professor Le Conte, was d region of numerous volcanoes and of very extensive lava flows The region has a high average elevation, and in it all the principal rivers of Oregon have their source-the Umpqua, the Rogue, the Des Chutes and the Klamath. The Three Sisters are the next marked peaks, 5000 feet elevation. There are really five sis ters," all being portions of an old crater rlm Still further north, but outside of the garden of which Professor Le Conte spoke are Mt. Jefferson, 10,200 feet, and Mt Hood, 1925 feet, both of which give evidence of having been active during prehistoric times.
 That volcanic action has had much to dc with the general formation of southern oregon goes without question. This vol canic garden covers an area of almost 5000 square miles, anu yet it is but a small portion of southern Oregons area. It Is not to be believed however, that all of these scores of volcanoes were in action at the same time. The many volcanic rocks found in the various strata above

iron and steel bars whose output in the aggregate is heavy and who are entirely outside of the pale of, any combine that might be formed
 There is only a little difference in the cost of iron and steel bars; they are. m fact, almost inter-convertible for many manufacturing uses. In 1903 and 1904 the price went as low as s24 without demoral- izing the rest of the trade, and the same thing is likely to occur this year. A serious further cut in this speciality, how ever, may have bad effect on the earn ings of Republic Steel, which is one of the big concerns whose largest output is in that division of production. The United States Steel corporation could make and sell bars at $l5 without losing money 1t Is said.
 One of the hot tips that went around tine street this week was to buy Erie Tor a substantial rise. The suspicious fea- ture about the advance information was that it came direct from recognized liar riman sources and everybody was re- minded thereby that Hartman Is sup posed to have bought big line of com mon at and under Sl6 about the time ne saved the company from receivership ana reorganization couple of months ago.
 His manifest willingness to get public company now that the stock Is S6 or S' higher than inside quotations arouses sus- picion. Consequently the cunning old wharf rats who pervade the gambling section of lower Manhattan hesitate to avail themselves of the Hartman tip. If perchance Erie common should sail up to 20 the same wise ones may be found breaking their necks to buy. One peci- liarity about the Hartman tips Is that ne sometimes makes them good. And then again there are times when he fools the boys and unloads on them. You never can tell from where you sit how liar riman tip is going to work out. He keeps 'em guessing from one weeks end to the other.
