U. S. OWNS 5000 ISLANDS.
These Support 100000 Persons and
Have $300,000,00o Commerce. ~

Have $300,000,000 Commerce.
MISUNDERSTANDING to report
recently received by the National Geo.
graphical society the United States
now owns exactly 5000 islands. sup
porting population Of 1O.OOO.OOO. The
report further shows that the COM
merce Of these islands exceeds $780,
10000. or more than that of the
United States in any year prior to
1850. American capital invested in
the islands aggregates approximately
S4OO.OOO.OOO. and from them Shere is
shipped to the United States $1OO,OOO,.
900 worth Of products every year and
they take in exchange products Of
about equal value
The feature Of the report Is the de-
velopment Of Porto Rico. Hawaii and
the Alaskan islands. 1t shows that
when Porto Rico came under American
rule fifteen, years ago there was but
one school building on the island. while
today there are 1900 There were
$4,000 pupils enrolled in the first year
Of American administration. now there
are 10000. Then there was but one
good road Of forty miles; now there
are about 1000 miles. Production Of
sugar has grown from $4,000 tons a
year to 365.OOO Foreign commerce was
about 500 100000 year; now it is near
ly S1OO.O0O.OOO.
Hawaii has been extremely pros
porous since it came permanently un-
der the American flag in 1900 The
assessed value Of the sugar crop more
than doubled. deposits in banks trebled
and in savings banks quadrupled.
Hawaii's irrigation system is the mar
vel of the engineering world. and the
quantity Of sugar produced per acre
far exceeds that Of any other spot on
the globe.
THE Alaskan islands and mainland, "
says the report. "cost us $7.5OO.OOO, an
expenditure that many believed to be
unjustifiable. yet for many years the
annual value of sealskins alone ap-
proximated the cost Of the entire area.
At present the value of the canned
salmon sent us from Alaska in a single
year is twice as much as the entire
possession cost"

PIN IN THROAT? JUST SING.

Operation.

Member Of a Choir Avoids a Surgical
Operation.
sturgis, Mich.-If you swallow a pin
and the physicians cannot help you
join choir and sing a high note and
you may be safe. At least that is the
experience Of Miss Mary Austin of this
city, who swallowed white beaded
pin. All efforts Of physicians to dis
lodge it were futile.
She was told she must go to the
University of Michigan hospital i'm
mediately. AS the train did not leave
for several hours and choir practice
was scheduled. she went to the church.
She did not intend to attempt to sing.
but as she could not feel the pin she
took her place.
On her first high note the pin was
dislodged.

1t is still believed at most of the Euro

her future husband and that the SUBJ

English and Russian governments.
It is needless to say that these young

ent trouble with Mexico at Vera Cruz

force Of aeroplanes, with the exception
Of those needed in Hawaii and the
Philippines, has been kept on the bor-
der between Texas and Mexico, though
modified and in such shape that on
twenty minutes notice they might be
sent to any point. ."

ton will consist of not over sixty COM
missioned line officers with rank be-
low that Of captain, as well as 26O en-
listed men. These shall be detailed for
periods of four years. The officers,
who will first go through preparatory

selected on the recommendation of the
chief signal officer from among the
unmarried neutenants of the army
who are not over thirty years of age.

service against their will.
It is further provided, on account Of
the extremely hazardous character Of

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO KILL
 PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM

'f the attack and the man who would lave killed his imperial highness was '"'"kly dsarmed.
 Tn" prince then entered the palac.. and did not appear to be at all dis urbed over the incident
 The r'tn who the police placed un d'.r arrest gave his name as von Schrader and proved to be an ex- lnt:or of infantry who ncd heer "a c-rtly rired from active qorvicr !te has had belief that the reason why h. never attained higher rank than major in the army was because for some reason the ruling family of Ger many was against him. It was an halucination of this kind that caused him to be relieved from duty and placed on the retired list.
 When examined at the police sta ton Major von Schrader would say little about his attempt on the life of the young prince. He did however saH that his enmity was entirely of personal nature and that he was not connected with any secret or an archistic society.

He later stated that the reason for his hatred of the prince was on ac- count of an affair which took plar. while the young man was etid.n; a' Bonn university and the ma ior was stationed In the garrison at the same place. The matter concerned the daughter of Major von Schrader. who had since committed suicide. It Is be. lieved that 1t was this affair which happened several years ago which has been working on the ex officers mind until he has become mentally unbal- anced.
 No statement in regard to the at tempt on the princes life has been made from the imperial palace
 Relations between the prince and his
 imperial father are still somewhat strained over the young mans pro. pensity for indulginE in the frivoltirs of life and talking too much in regard to the things that will happen when h. succeeds to the throne.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-Joseph Dol dini. young Italian who has only been in this country three weeks tol day shot and probably fatally wound- eI Miss Rosina Grachi, the daughter o! rich importer.
 The shooting took place at the cor neI of Fifth avenue and Thirty fourth street during the rush hour in the af- Ltrnoon when hundreds of people wera passing up and down Fifth avenue.
 Miss Grachi was walking down tho avenue with woman friend when Dcldini brushed through the crowd and accosted her. The young man took the girl by the arm and asked her if she intended to keep her promise and marry him.
 Miss Grachi made some reply, which was not heard by her comapnion and then Doldini drew a revolver from his overcOat pocket and shot her three times
 The girl fell to the sidewalk and before the traffic policeman on duty in the street could get to the spot Doidini turned the weapon on himself and fired bullet into his breast.
 The women was taken to her homo in a passing automobile and it was SC i'd later that she would probably die. At the hospital where Doldini was rushed in an ambulance he told the police and attendants that he was an cx-officer of the Italian army. That before the war between his country nd Tripoli he had been engaged to Miss Grachi, who then lived in Genoa with her aunt. He went to the front as a captain of infantry and was se- verely wounded When he was able tC return to Italy he found that the woman he was engaged to had left Genoa and her relatives would not tell him where she was.

PROVES MAN OF STANDING
More Than a Little Amount Of Phiioso
ply in Walters Idea Of
Having Credit.

For the twentieth time Dave, the
waiter. pushed a pencil insinuatingly
toward the regular customer as he pre-
sented the check for the meal. Fol
the twentieth time the regular Gus
toner. heroically resisting temptation
averred that he had always paid cash
and always meant to pay cash.
Dave" he added. you shouldn't
tempt me this way. Don't you think q
man ought to be proud of paying cast
or his meals? I'm proud Of 1t. Don't
tamper with my virtue"
Whereat Dave, looking pityingly
upon the customer, enunciated the fol
lowing:
Proud? Why should you be
proud? Hasn't 1t ever occurred to yor
that anybody-some one we've never
seen in our lives at this restauran,
and don't know from Adam-can come
in here and pay cash for what he gets:
Now, ask you, can any Tom. Dich
or Harry sign his check?
No. sir. To have credit, q man must
have standing. The fact that you sigr
for your meals gives you a standing
1t means that you're a regular fellow;
that you're known and respected. Pay
cash? Bah! Any fool can do that!
Without another word the regular
customer picked up the pencil. wrote
his name on the check. and put dowr
= quarter for q tip.
"Confound you. Dave" he said;
you've converted me-"
