Broom Mans Troubles.

The manufacture of brooms is one Of
the industries that has grown from a
very small industry to one of such
magnitude that it covers all sections
of this and many other countries. The
broom is one of the necessaries that
every business man and family is COM
PEELED to have, and for this reason it
must always remain an article of pop
ular and general use among the civil
lied and other peoples who set any
value on cleanliness, says Brooms,
Brushes and Handles.
1t is hard to say just when the first
broom was made; but no doubt it was
a bunglesome affair made of twigs,
reeds or some other like material, and
tied to rough stick with some of the
same stuff of which it was part. But
| it served the purpose, and that was
something, at least, for decency's sake,
and the inventor deserves credit for
this much.
The growth and cultivation of the
broomcorn industry has made possible
the manufacture of brooms on a large
scale at a comparatively low price:
furnishing very desirable material,
and, at the same time, giving employ
ment to many thousands of hand an
nually. Machinery has done consid-
cradle part in the de gelopment of the
business as well, and has, at the same
time, made it possible to keep prices
moderate.
But of late there have arisen several
| matters that have rather threatening
aspect as regards the price of this com
oh he
to counterfeit these evils if such they
can be termed. In the first place, the
cost of the broomcorn has increased so
that the profits of the manufacturer
particularly the small one, have felt
it keenly; then the price of handles has
Increased, due, in great part, to the
scarcity of timber suitable for such
purposes, and last, but not least, is the
increased cost of labor itself.
Regarding the handle question, the
only possible relief seems to be in the
adoption of some substitute that will
give the same satisfaction as the pres
ent handle. What this will or can be
must be studied out; perhaps aluminium
or something similar.
| The broomcorn question seems about
as difficult as the other two, and it is
one of the all-important consideration:
and must be met.
These are some of the consideration.
that must soon confront the broom
manufacturer; in fact, they already
have to an extent, and they can not bt
met too soon, if we are to have a goot
broom on the market that can be solo
at reasonable price and at the sam,
time net the manufacturer fair prof.
on his capital invested. Brooms tn,
people must have, and brooms they will
get, but there are considerations to b,
taken into mind that cannot be over
looked indefinitely.

HE DID HIS BEST.

What may happen while red tape L.

this story from Judge. 1t was clear
that the elderly man was from the
country. For several minutes he stood
on the sidewalk, gaping up at the top
story Of tail trust company building
across the way. Then he scratched his
head and stroked his chin.
"Wa-al," he muttered, ut may be alll

He crossed the street, pushed his way
into the trust company offices and ap~
preached the nearest window. The
brass plate over it was inscribed, New

"Well?" asked the man behind the
window without looking up from his
ledger.
"Wa-al," drawled the other, ut may

"Ain't none" snapped the country

But he got no further. "Fire! fret

Rosemary Charles the merry Widow

engagement is for one week only, but
that being the case, it remains for
playgoers to do the best they can under
the circumstances Mr.. Savage, to
whom the United States is indebted for
this operate sensation of the world,
sends company of 100 people. This
large number includes the "Madam
Butterfly" orchestra, the quality of
which is recalled as delightful mem
DRY; Hungarian orchestra, which is
carried to appear in one act only; the
large "Merry Widow" chorus, and a
list of principals whose names guaran-
tee splendid ,impersonation, from all
points, of the roles intrusted to their
care.
The role of "The Merry Widow
will be sung by Miss Rosemary Glosz,
Hungarian by birth, who graduated
from the Conservatives of Vienna, and
is said to be the embodiment of the
spirit of "The Merry Widow" of the
composer mind. The equally impor-
tant role of the Prince is in care of
Mr.. Charles Meakins, who has ap.
peared in the role over 300 times, a
young, romantic tenor, who was the
vogue in the long metropolitan run of
the opera. Mr.. Meakins and Miss
Glosz are the principals in the eele-
brated "Merry Widow" waltz. An.
other newcomer of the week will be
seen in the person of Paul Bleyden, a
tenor from Mr.. Savage's grand opera
forces, to whom is assigned one of the
principal roles. "The Merry Widow
chorus is body of sufficient prestige
to warrant word in advance on its
behalf. The young ladies are called
upon to wear the Partisan gowns which
represent the latest doings of the mod
istes of Paris, and perhaps more i'm
portant than all, and in ample proper
tions, that peculiar vintage of head
gear known as "The Merry Widow

JAPS STRIKE IN HONOLULU.
Laborers on Sugar Plantations Want
More Pay.

Honolulu, May. 19.-With no pros
pect of receiving recognition from their
employers, the 5000 Japanese plantation
hands on strike in the Hawaiian islands
are politely but firmly standing pat and
they are quietly awaiting developments.
The plantation strike in the islands,
which was begun week ago, was the
result of determined and long standing
agitation on the part of the japanese
laborers on the sugar estates for an in
crease of wages from $1s to $22.50 a
month.
The Sugar Planters association I'M
Willingly brought about the agitation
by flooding the islands with japanese
workmen toward the close of last year.
1t was not long before these same
workmen, whom the planters had i'm
ported in order to solve, as they
thought, the labor problem, surprised
their employers by beginning a spirited
campaign for the Improvement of their
own condition.

Disorders in Adana province, General
Schefket said, were in process Of solu-

to make thorough investigation and
provide adequate punishment for the
guilty. The agitation in the Fourth

and deserters having been arrested.
In conclusion, General Schefket said:
"We desire to have the good will and
the sympathy and moral support of the
Americans in the present movement to-
ward better government"
Ambassador Leishman had made rep
reservations to Ferid Pasha, the min
lister Of the interior, on the Importance
Of restoring order in the interior of
Adana province, so that the refugees
crowded in the towns may return to
their farms. Ferid Pasha replied today,
expressing his thanks for suggestions
and saying he would take additional
steps to restore the confidence of the
Armenians and give them protection in
the country where needed:

Major L. w. v. Kennon, now COM
handing a battalion of the Tenth In
fantry at Fort Benjamin Harrison, In
building the famous Benguet road
through the mountains of northern Lu-
zon, Philippine Islands, accomplished
feat called humanity impossible. 1t took
music, money and a mongrel army Of
1000 men to do 1t, but Benguet road
stands to-day one Of the remarkable
highways of the world.
Major KennOn's army of 1900 road
builders rested only Sunday. For ten
hours of each day they forged ahead.
Sunday they rested In their quarters,
houses built of poles and grass. They
amused themselves with dances, cards
and games that appealed to the differ
ent nationalities. Major Kennon in
troduced music as one of the attrac-
lions along his lonely highway. He Is
known for his resourcefulness, and he
does not deny that he used music to
get better work out of the pleasure
loving Fiipinos and other orientals.
They did not like to work, and when
they did 1t was with slow, sluggish
movement.
One day Major Kennon decided to
try music as an impetus to zeal. He
assembled his band. made up of men
of all nations, and ordered It TO move
quietly and secretly to place where
several hundred Filipinos were en-
gagged in drilling holes In the canon
walls The band stole up behind the
slow going drillers and suddenly struck
up a favorite oriental air. Instantly
the Ftlipinos caught the spirit Of the
music and began to beat their drills
against the rock In rhythm.
The result was more than a surprise
to the resourceful Kennon. lie kept
that band busy after that. 1t follow
ed the Filipinos along the way and
played wherever they worked From
laborers worth about 10 cents a day
he developed them into musical ma
chimes that worked to drum beats. Ma
jor Kennon insists that his band saved
the Philippine government thousands Of.
dollars.
| A bet had been made between Major
Kennon and his foreman on one side
and the members Of the Philippine com
mission on the other side that the road.
would not be open by Jan. 81, 1905.
The story Of the bet was borne from
tongue to tongue along the road. Ma
jor Kennon promised each man a cigar
If they won the bet. The effect was
good. The army Of 1900 bent to their
work, there being man to every seven
feet of the road on the last lap into
Baguio. Jan. 20, two days before the
expiration of the wager, Major Kennop
rode into Baguio in a carriage. He was
received there as prince returned
There was a great celebration, and all
the men in the KennOn army smoked
