in the United States has been stead
 fly toward more remote places, ac- cording to these figures, and while
 the growth in the number of passen- gers has been enormous, the increase in mileage has been out of all pro portion to it. The growth of Euro pean travel is partly responsible for this result. but the greatest gains are recorded for the increasing move ment across the international boun- dary to the lakes and woods of Can ada. Ten or twenty years ago only sportsmen or people fond of ''rough- ing it'' ever penetrated far north. Since then the Muskoka lake region, the Algonquin National park and other parts of the original North American wilderness have been brought within comparatively few hours distance of Chicago, New York and other cities which furnish the largest number of rest and recrea- ton seekers every year. The great extension work of the Canadian Northern, Grand Trunk System and other Dominion roads is largely re- sponsibe for this increase in inter- national travel, which is building up American resorts in the heart of Canada. The highlands" of Ontario, Lake of Bays. Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River country have drawn the lions share of the new corners. together with the primeval forests and streams about Lake Te- magami, which is still unspoiled haunt of fish and game, declare the American sportsmen who have pene- trated its wilds. The travel to Flu rope, which has played it's part in increasing the average length of tour ist journeys, is also on the increase this year after the big setback it had as result of the panic. Railroads also report more travel to the far west, largely on account of the Se- attle exposition, and the Japan China trip is claiming more persons each year who have the time and money to journey nearly half way round the globe.

Competitive heroism gets a push now from the International Associa- tion of Accident Underwriters, which has announced that three medals each year will be presented to the men or women who perform the most notable acts of the heroic kind. Policemen and firemen are barred from the contest by the restriction that if the act is in the discharge of duty it doesn't score. The Carnegie hero medals are awarded to all who perform deeds of heroism or to their families in case they lose their lives. and Uncle Sam has many each year to be proud of. The first award of the accident underwriters medals is to be at the annual convention, July 13, at Niagara Falls this year. the difficult task of deciding among a score of heroes having been accom- plished, the three prospective re- cipients of medals in 1909 being resi- dents of New York. Montreal and Milwaukee This award is likely to be the main feature of the conven- ton, unless an address by Insurance Commissioner John A. Hartigan of Minnesota on standardizing accident policies stirs up a rumpus again, as it did when first advocated, by an insurance head in an address last year by Robert B. Armstrong, former assistant secretary of the treasury.
 The bitterness of other insurance ex- executives toward Armstrong. who is now president of a big company in Chicago. for his advanced position on this question, Is said to have in- spired a combined fight upon him and his company, even after the other companies under compulsion accept ed the principle of uniformity of pol icies. A plea for peace and greater security of life will be made by Di- rector Holman of the Museum of Safety of New York.

The Report of the Curr.er Commis- sion-The Epidemic Feature of the Disease.

Chicago, June 26.-(Special Corre- spondence of The Republican.)-U official reports that victims of CO., caine now number half a million have set about a national investiga- tion by a commission appointed and financed by George H. Currier of this city In Chicago. it is found, drastic police regulations and Jane Addams' assistants at Hull House have quite effectually checked the in- crease of this drug habit, which is to Americans what the opium habit is to Chinese, the national curse. In the other cities of New York, Ph.la- delphia, Pittsburg and St. Louis, how ever, the Currier commission has as certained that this dope epidemic yet has received no setback According to Charles w. Collins and John Day of the commission: Tn many ways dope is like an acutely contagious disease. From one sporadic case the infection will spread through a neigh borhood, ward, an entire city. Be- fore anything can be done in SUD- pression, it is imbedded in the social body like a cancerous growth, with many obscure tentacles that baffle the social surgeon" A coke fiend, v a young man, is now awaiting trial in Chicago for pounding an old man to death with a baseball bat during one of the periodical outbreaks of criminalism that cocaine, produces, killing the man merely for a few cents with which to buy cocaine It is said taht there are 5000 coke fiends" in Chicago, and that some of those consume as much as 12S seals" equal to q pound, in short time, the manufacturers profit be- ing shown by the comparison of S5 cents cost to s2.50 the retail price The Currier commission has set out to see how this sale can be stopped and get all the facts of the grew some eighth deadly sin

Loputkin, Former Chief Of Political
Police, May Have Reduction of
His Sentence.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 22.-There is
another important element OF high pol
itics at St. Petersburg, which is of a
kind that might have been thought not to
exist outside of Abdul Hamid's entourage.
1t is the cars personal body servant,
krotoff, man forty years of age. who
was formerly a corporal in the Horse
Guards. He has successfully assumed a
strong hand in arranging his master S
daily appointments. He has become tn .
cars adviser almost to the same extent
as Trepoff and Orloff a few years ago
He receives and sends the cars politi-
cal messages by telephone from and to
some of the ministers. and he adds his
own advice to the czar's. He has not
tried hitherto to tackle NJ. Stolypin, and
1t is hoped the latter, during the COM
ing cruise, will induce the cZar to turn
elsewhere for personal counsel. Krotoff
is described as quite uneducated, but Is
very cunning.

lowed, as Loputkin and his family were
on the point of emigrating to London.

The celebrated Parish ice case" which
has been a part of the governmental af-
fairs of this country for forty-six years.
reached the final curtain last Monday,
when the United States. Supreme Court
decided in favor of the estate of the late
Joseph W. Parish, reversing all previous
decisions of the departments and the
lower courts and by unanimous court
directed the treasurer of the United
States to- pay over the sum of $1S1,COO
The final act in the years of litigation
began with an act of Congress directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to find out
what was due Joseph w. Parish, and.
if there was anything found due, to pay
him. Funds were appropriated to meet
that demand il needed. The Secretary of
the Treasury instructed the auditor for
the War Department to ascertain these
facts and render a report. This he did,
finding that the sum of $1S1,U0O was due
Mr. Parish.
At this point of the proceedings hitch
hung up in the Treasury Department.
The then Secretary of the Treasury.
Leslie NJ Shaw. reversed the opinion OF
the auditor and decided that nothing was
due the Parish estate.
The matter was then taken into the
courts suit being filed in the District
Supreme Court for the amount of the
claim. Following an adverse Judgment
by that tribunal the plaintiff took the
cas- to the Court OF Appeals. From that
rcourt the case was again appealed to the
United States Supreme Court, with the
result stated
Before the case was settled Mr.. Parish
died, at the age of seventy-four.
