1.-THE Pacific ocean, its shores and its
islands and the vast region beyond, will
become the chief theatre of events in the
worlds hereafter" This prediction by
Seward, more than half century ago,
is on the way toward realization. The
understanding which has been given
formal expression by the statement
drawn up by Secretary Root and Am
bassador Takahira will do much toward
Fastening that day. China has 400, 900,
600 of people, whose wants, in the way
commodities which we have to sell, will
increase many fold as these people rise
in the scale of civilization, as we under
stand that term. Thus its trade few
decades hence will probably reach pro-
portions beyond the dreams of the pre-
sent generation of Americans. When
we consider that Asia holds half of the
1900, O,0OO, 900 people of the entire globe,
this Root-Takahira declaration assumes
especial importance. With England in
alliance with Japan, and with both ia
pan and England on terms of the great
est cordiality with the United States,
peace in the Pacific and the Orient is
assured

THE one hundredth anniversary of the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln will occur
February II, 1909, and will be generally
observed as holiday throughout the
country. His Gettysburg speech, made
on the field of battle, when it was dedi-
Gated as national cemetery, is often
quoted as one of the finest specimens OF
English composition eXtant, but in our
view, his letter to Mrs. Bixby, of Boston,
written while he was President, and con-
doling with her on the loss of her five sons
in defense of their country, should at least
take equal rank. 1t was dated Nov. q ,
1854, and was as follows:
DEAR MADAM have been shown,
in the files of the War Department, a
statement of the Adjutant General of
Massachusetts that you are the mother
of five sons who have died gloriously on
the field of battle. l feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from the grief of loss so overwhelming;
but cannot refrain from rendering you
the consolation that may be found in
the thanks of the Republic they died to
save. pray that our Heavenly Father
may assuage the anguish of your be-
reavement and leave you only cherished
memory of the loved and lost, and the
solemn pride that must be yours to have
laid so costly sacrifice upon the altar
of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Jessica Ripple gave a reception last
Thursday afternoon, at Mrs. Ripple's
residence on Clay avenue, Scranton. The
rooms were attractively decorated with
quantities of palms and roses. The
hostesses were assisted in receiving and
serving by thirteen of their married and
Unmarried friends, but the traditionally
uplucky number seems to have had no
untoward effect on the entertainment.

SUGAR
+s**++++aa+*+s**

Czarnikow, Macdougall & Co, under
date Of March ~, report as follows ON
the sugar market:
Our last report was dated 9Th
March.
During the early part of the week
the market for raw sugars was active
at gradually advancing prices, which
eliminated In sales OF Cubas at 21ac.
c. and T., basis SO, part for shipment
not earlier than March Goth, and part
for April shipment. After these trans
actions. the market became dull, AMI
today there are sellers but no buyers
ut last price. So far, sellers of Cubas
or shipment show no signs Of yielding,
but small sales Of Porto Ricos for
prompt shipment have been made at
S.sOc. C. |. T., price equivalent to
2.44c. C. I. for Cubas. Further quaint.
ties of Cubas are going to store for
account OF importers.
European beet markets appear TO be
extremely sensitive to the reports
from Cuba, and the diminution In the
past weeks Cuban receipts caused a
hardening OF prices, from which, how
ever, there has been slight reac-
ton, and the week shows only n
fractional improvement. Today's f..
o. b. quotations are: March, los.

From Porto Rico. which with
Cuba, will furnish the bulk OF refin-
ers' supplies for some time to come
our adyices report that all the es-
tates are now In full operation, and
that the weather of late has been
very favorable for grinding. but It
is feared that there will be a consid-
cradle decrease OF production in the
district OF Mayaguez, on account OF
the protracted drought experienced
there from August to December OF
last year.
CUBAN STATISTICS. - Details of
the February production have not
yet been received. bt> Messrs. Guma-
MeJor report a total for tho months
OF January and February OF 593,s4S
tons.
Our private advices now point to a
minimum crop of 1850. 900 tons in
the present campaign. On the basis
OF 100000 tons, the production to
end February is about A per cent of
the crop. To bring up the total crop
to 100000 tons, the production
rom March LIST, would require to be
756,152 tons, or about the same as
1t was from that date in 1907, but
1907 was a year of prolonged dry
weather which enabled the whole
crop to be taken of. 1t will be seen
that at the end OF February the pro-
duction was 64,90S tons behind that
OF 1907 at that date. but at the
present more rapid rate of grinding,
the greater part OF this difference
may be made up during the current
month. 49,

DissapOin.e l Soldiers

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. l4.-- l)u,lng the past few days the has been some slight revival in the disbursement of the fund to the Spanish-American War veter,. ans because members of the regi- ments which represented Arkan- sas when the call for volunteers was made, have heard of the mon ley being here for them and have written asking for their share. One letter was received yesterday from Washington which is only about half the distance some of the letters have come. This let ter was answered with a blank for the giving of a power of at torney to officers of the Arkan- sas National Guard to sign the pay rolls for the amount due the eX-soldier This will have to be sworn to before notary public, with two witnesses to the identi- ty of the soldier which vii, cost him 75 cents. He will then mai. the letter back with the eXpecta- tiOn of drawing a considerable a. mount and the chances are that he will not receive over A cents, being out on the deal.
 As the soldiers are paid only for the service between the time they answered tn ecall for troops and the time they were mustered in. many are receiving pay but for one day and their money being a bit hay, they think it is a long time coming and the government is to pay the interest. One sol dier received S1.50 and sent 1t back saying that if the govern ment did not think any more of his services than that it could keep the amount. Another figured that he would receive interest for 10 years compounded on one months pay and would receive ov- CT S4OO. When he was offered 4 dollars he was highly insulted but that was all the pay roll allowed him.

MYERS TO FIGHT
 DOCi0R DRUMMING
New Superintendent of Government Res- ervai:on at Hot Springs Acts as
 Attorney in Periur yCase.

Hot Springs, Sept. 13.--An in novation was sprung in the vigor- ous campaign against doctor drumming here this afternoon when Harry II. Myers, superinten- dent of the government reserva- tions, claimed his right as attor- ney in a case and remained pre- sent in the court room to assist J. D. Smith of Springfield, Tenn, in answering a charge of perjury.
 Smith is a farmer and a visitor to Hot Springs and had made a payment to a nonregistered phy- sician, Dr. Thomas B. Rider, for treatment. Rider is not permit ted to give bathing directions for the hot water. When Smith first learned that he could not bathe under directions from Rider he complained to the superintendent of tn preservation, and following an investigation Superintendant Myers had Smith swear to a war rant charging Dr. Rider with ob- taining money with the under standing that his patient could bathe in the government water. Dr. Rider in return had Smith ar rested for perjury and Superinten- dent Myers assisted in Smiths de- fense.
 Mr. Myers was also a witness and was about to be excluded from the court room under the witness rule when he asked to be enrolled as an attorney in the case claimed his rights, and incident ally took an important stand as showing his position here in the flu ture on the drumming evil. The case was not completed when the court adjourned.

Water Is Pure

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 14.- In former years Little Rock and other towns along the Arkansas river which derive their water supply from that stream have suf- fered seriously when the river Was so low, on account of the appear ance of salt and other foreign sub- stances but this year, with the riverl ower than it has ever been at this time the river is remark ably free from impurities. Dr. c. H. Hoffman a leading chemist of this city, who has made daily ex- aminations of the water supplied to Little Rock, made a report to the city council at it's meeting last night in which he says the con- dition is due to the lack of rain

Dr. Hoffman made a re port covering August and 10 days this month and in all that time there appeared from AS to PAS millionth parts of chlorine in the water. The lowest was on the first of August and the highest on the ninth day of this month. Dr. Hoffman reported no bacilli in the water of an injurious nature.

that Philadelphia is even more of a dry town.

The officials are now turning at tention there and it will be hard with the violator who is captur- ed.
