holders, will no doubt be received by
the lattar with a good deal of pleas
ure, although somewhat belated. The
notice states that transfer books will
close on Friday. May 29th, and a
Mote" gives the Information that
payments will be made to all brok-
ers who are members OF the San
Francisco stock exchange on shares
standing in their names and divi-
dends on same can be secured at
their Offices" Dividends on all stock
standing in the names other than
members Of the stock exchange Will
be paid at the company's office.
This dividend is the first to be paid
by the present management OF Mexl-
can, the first being distributed In the
fall following the discovery of the ore
body. The Mexican slopes are cur
rently reported to have produced
nearly million in bullion. and stock
holders are now to share further in
the profits of the operations, many Of
whom has paid numerous assess
ments on their holdings, thus mater
tally aiding in the finding of the ore
body.
1t is to be hoped that this dividend
is a forerunner of change OF policy
on the part of the Mexican manage
ment, and that the property which Is
now shut down, will be started up,
and work resumed in the deep levels,
where it is reasonable to believe many
more dividends will be forthcoming
below the ground that has yielded SO
magnificent a surplus the past two
or three years.
May It also be an indication that
the Mexican company is to rejoin the
United Comstock Pumping associa-
ton. and do its part towards reopen
ing the levels below the 2,500foot
level. The declaration of the dividend
brings these matters to mind, Tor
without the cooperation OF the north
end mines, through the pumping as
ISOLATION. the present dividend on
Mexican would hardly have been pos
sible.

County in Chinese Missions.
 Contributed.

A new piece of China has been as- signed to the American Board by the China Continuation committee, a group organized to carry out the
 policy of the Eliin nburgh Interdenomi- national convention. This new field comprising about third of the province of Shensi, is about the size of Massa chusetts, and has probably twice that states population. There is not a mission station, and so far as k1. own not a native Christian living in the field. But there are seven or eight walled cities, a government center or two, a rich agricultural region and a large city, under the shadow of the Great Wall, which is the tradecenter for all that part of China and eastern Mongolia and the military headquar- ters of the army of the northwestern provinces Shensi contains vast de- posits of coal, iron and petroleum, and it's people are said to be very intelli- gent and physically vigorous.
 This section was assigned to the American Board because it joins the boards field in Shansi, the province which has made such remarkable recovery from the time of the Boxer massacres in 1900.
 An unexpected gift from a Boston business man for new work in China enables the board to accept this new field with it's heavy responsibilities, and plans are already under way for occupying the twelve leading towns of northern Shensi by means of trained native evangelists. There will un- doubtedly follow schools, dispensaries, and hospital. Conity between the denominations in China makes for effective strategy in mission work, and the ultimate Christianization of this great country may be looked for with confidence

 This has all come with the change in the manner of living and when there is talk of the increased cost attention is not always given to conditions under which people live as compared to that of some years ago. If the head of the house nowadays were asked to saw pile of wood he would probably feel insulted. He no longer regards. that as part of his work any more than he does the planting of garden. He would rather buy his wood cut and his veg etables from the corner grocery or from 9 peddler on the street than to be bothered with doing the work as his father did. He wants day named. after him, too, just the same as mother. & He has not been thus honored but his day is coming.

Catching Wild Birds Songs. (Detroit Free Press.)

Thomas A. Edison, inventor of many remarkable things, needs to invent a way in which he can enjoy a vaca- tion, for he is not having any fun on his present layoff at his winter home in Fort Meyer, Fla, with Henry Ford, the Detroit automobile manufacturer.
 Soon after the inventor reached Florida he lost interest in idleness and sent for a batch of records sto be placed in the underbrush of the Ever glades so that he might obtain the songs of the birds A push button operated mile away set the records in motion.
 In addition to this trifling effort, MT. Edison has invented case for car rying and shipping disc records with out injuring them in the slightest. Necessity inspired the inventor to this He has insisted on passing on every record turned out from his factory. Several were made soon after he left for Florida, and they had to be placed before him. So they were sent to him for his approval. He noticed that they were subjected to rather rough treatm ment-though they had not been 'damaged-so he just invent ed case to protect them in transit.

Newspaper Handkerchiefs. (Philadelphia Ledger.O

The proprietor of paper at Ebers- Walde, Prussian town not far from Berlin, does his best to make that or gan useful as we'll as instructive. Two days a week he has the General An zeiger printed on one side of the paper, so that it can be used for wrap ping up provisions without. any con- tamination from printers ink. On these days the paper is twice as large as on ordinary days, so that the pub lie lose nothing in the way of read ing matter.
 Deccan's pocket handkerchief news paper in England had two predeces- sors. In September, 1881, appeared the first number of Berthold's Politi- cal Handkerchief, newspaper print ed on calico to evade the stamp duty. It was four-page sheet, measuring eighteen inches by eleven inches. An other calico news sheet was started at Greenock in 1849. It was known as the Greenock News C1out, and the editor commended it for use as a pocket handkerchief when read.

Asked to Cooperate With Indian
 Government.
( Contributed ]

The British government in India has asked the American Board work CTS at Barsi and Sholapur, cities in the Bombay presidency in western India, to cooperate in an attempt to civilize the lawless tribes near those cities.
 The plan proposed to the American board is that an industrial colony be started at Barsi, a town of 24,00O in- habitants. The government will put up the buildings, furnish guards for the compound at. night and make a small cash grant per head for the food of the colony The mission would have charge during the day, securing work for the men, carrying on schools and taking a personal in- terest in the people.
 The government proposes further that the board take charge of a farm colony, to be established on govern ment reservation in Surigao, vil- lage in which the board already has some work, supervised from the city of Sholapur about four miles dis tant. The 400 acres of this reserve contain good land, sparsely wooded with teak and other valuable trees Here, as at Barsi, the government would put up the buildings, furnish the guards and give the mission free hand for teaching and preaching But no money grant would be made.
 The land must be cleared and pre- pared for cultivation, wells dug, cat tie, tools and seeds bought and the colony placed on sound economic basis. The government stands ready to loan the necessary working capital.
 It is thought that if this offer can be accepted and combination formed between the government with it's prestige and resources and these American Christian workers, the law less population of these sections will soon become self-supporting, law abiding members of a Christian com munity.

A White House Clerk. (ROSton Herald

If you were to look over the files of the newspapers of the summer of 1881 you would find that they reported the bulletins from the bedside of President Garfield as being made public by one Warren Young, whose name has re- gently appeared in all the public rrints-perhaps for the first time since then. While General Garfield was still in congress he brought to Washington Warren Young from Warren, near Youngstown, in Ohio, and on becom- ing president made him a clerk in the Whie Hdnse. Two days ago MT. and Mrs. Wilson and others of proni- hence banked the desk of MT. Young with flowers in acknowledgement of his thirty three years of unbroken service there.
 For many years the clerical force of the White House was made up of the men whom the successive presi- dents brought there, each executive, out of courtesy to his predecessors, re- taining those appointees in office Colonel Crook, whose "reminiscences appeared few years ago in the Gen. tury, went to the White House in Lin coln's time, and is still there. The late O. L.. Pruden was assigned to a position there by Grant, Warren Young by Garfield, and so on down the line. Several of these White House attaches President Mckinley transf formed into military men in the Spanish war President Harrison made E. w. Halford, his private sec retary a paymaster MT. Roosevelt prom oted his young men to outside offices. He made one of his clerks the postmaster of Washington. He made Private Secretary Cortelyou a cabinet officer and otherwise showered his favors upon those closely asso- clated with him.
 The White House staff has increased greatly in size in the last thirty-three years. It contains from four to six times as many stenographers, tele- graphers and messengers today as sufficed in the time of Garfield. It is only natural that the increasing complexity of American life should re- fleet itself in the clerical establishment of the president. And he performs only a small part of the duties which the people think of him as doing.
 His is largely a clearing house for department business. Ninety per cent. or the letters addressed to the White House are hurried on to the bureaus which they immediately concern. Another eight per cent. are disposed of by the secretaries without the presi- dents knowing anything about them
 Great changes have come to pass in White House methods since Warren Young arrived there on the Garfield tide of 1881.

GARRISON IS SILENT
 ON DANIELS ORDER
Exceptions Can Be Made in Regard to Barring Alcoholic Drinks From
 Naval Festivities.

Washington, April 7.-Secretary Daniels order barring alcoholic liquors from American warships and naval stations continued today to be a topic of animated discussion at the Army and Navy club and wherever navy officers gathered. Mr Daniels said he has not yet considered in what cir cumstances he will make exceptions to the rule, but reminded his inquirers that Surgeon General Braisted who recommended the banishment of alco- hol had suggested that exceptions could be made wherever international courtesy required. The secretary has not made up his mind what course he will pursue when the international fleet mobilizes at Hampton Roads next year to go through the Panama canal at its formal opening.
 "I am sure the order will meet with the approval of nearly all officers and expect full compliance" said MT. Daniels. The order created no little in- terest among army officers, but none of the officials at the war department would comment for publication. When the subject was mentioned to: Secretary Garrison, he said:-
 .'When I was a young man my father pointed out to me a man who had made a fortune minding his own business"

NEW VOTERS.

The selectmen have made 789 vo- |ers this month, including those who lave been restored, and 1t is sup osed that the democracy has only small portion of them to its credit, he result being that the republicans ave strengthened their voting ower.
 i Since the secret ballot law came 'hto existence it has been difficult to Ilassify voters as democrats or re- >ublicans, but the leaders have lways been able to tell fairly we'll khat the incltnations of the average oters are, not as to whether they kill vote straight ticket, but as how they will line up on an inn bortant issue. These are a large lumber of independent voters in New ritain, particularly in local elec- ons. Men who vote a straight par
 ticket in state and national af- kirs are among the first to split heir ticket in a local contest. 1t is Bually the best man, regardless of he ticket hts name is on who is 1pported. That accounts for the un- ertainty that always exists as to who ill win in municipal contests.
 There have been times when the bpublicans were polling large ma britAes for state and national candi- htes and were electing democratic hndidates for mayor at the same me. This has been the result for years. One, however, cannot fail
 see that the large number of new bters this month IS evidence of in-
 ntion to work hard for the election lis year. How they will come out one can tell at present. The resent indications are that the fight ill be hard one, the activity of ke republican candidates for mayor eing likely to bring out practically
 the party vote on election day,

Great Voices in Congress. Washington Letter to St. Louis Globe DemOcrat.)

Washington Letter to St. Louis Globe
 Democrat.)
 A member of the Associated Press staff at the capitol entered the senate office building the other day, and as he emerged from the revolving doors inside he heard loud voice far down one of the corridors, which are a block long. He stopped and listened to locate the sound and then walked toward it. He thought some man was making a speech to a committee, per- haps,s and the loudness of the voice, which seemed rather sepulchral, in- dicated that it's owner was somewhat wrought up. He finally traced the sound to the office of Senator Theo- dore E. Burton of Ohio. Looking in at the door he saw Senator Burton's secretary with telephone receiver held at arms length from his car listening to the voice. Inquiry later developed that the man at the other end of the phone was Representative Frank B.'Willis of Ada, o. MT. Willis was discussing some phase of Ohio politics with the senator's secretary. Willis probably has the most stem torian voice of any man in either house of congress, and while he is regarded as a man of considerable ability and a "comer," his colleagues in the house have not yet learned to listen in com fort to his speeches when he takes the floor. c
 There are two other men in con gress who seem to have experienced this same difficulty, but to a lesser

Robert Burdette Looks Beyond (The Northwestern Christian Advo-
 cate.)
 Robert J. Burdette, the once fla nous editor of The Burlington, Iowa, Hawkeye, is said to be dying on the Pacific coast. Evidently Mr.. Bur- dette knows of his approaching end, for he has written beautiful letter to his old congregation in Temple Church. Los Angeles, in which he gives voice to something akin to farewell, and to sentiment which has al- ways clung about the things that he mas said and written. In this letter, sent from "Eventide," at Clifton-by the-Sea, Cal, he says:
 T am neither bedridden nor house. bound, but I am woefully weak. I ride out a little every day and enjoy it, but I avoid crowds, which tire me. I write a little for newspaper or magazine every week, for life would seem so worthless if I didn't work at something. And I love to see my friends-if they don't stay too long.
 Because it is sweet and quiet down here we will remain in 'Eventide,' so named by Mrs. Burdette because it faces the sunset. And Afternoon Land is very pleasant, in spite of chronic pancreatitis. Every evening as l sit in the sunroom and watch the sun go down beyond the rim of the blue Pacific, I know what is over there. There is no mystery in that unseen space beyond the sunset. have been there. I have journeyed Tn those lands. There, where the sun is just sinking out of sight, is Japan. Yokohama, Tokio, Nikko, Fuji- hama, the beautiful Inland seal can see it all. And there, where that Silver star is shining through the crimson bars of the sunset, that is China. Over there is Manila. Yonder is Port Arthur I know it all I have been there.
 Well, beyond the gates of the sum- set there is another land, farther seen: it. I have never seen anyone who has been there. But all that I know about the Oriental lands wherein I have 'journeyed, is the merest con- lecture compared with my knowledge of the blessed land which eye hath not seen. That fair and happy coun- try I do know. Know it with a cer- tainty, a positive knowledge which has never been shadowed by cloud of doubt passing over my belief. I may be confused in my earth geo. graphical locations. But this heaven of ours-nos man, no thing, no cir cumstanceN has ever shaken my faith in that. As the sun sinks lower faith shines more brightly, and hope, lifting her voice in a higher key, sings the songs of fruition. So, every evening when the sun goes down, I see that shadowless land of eternal noon. I know it is there mot because I have seen it, but be- cause I do see it.''

Debutantes of Future.

 A peculiar phenomenon was ob- served in Each End society circles re- gently. A certain college youth, barely 20 years of age, has been. mak- ing himself very agreeable and pop ular with a crowd of little girls. Now 20 Is the age when boys usually shun the society of children and spruce themselves up for ''fussing' with their own contemporaries. But this youth fiirts not, neither does he dance. The debutantes sigh after him Tn vain. He buys candy for maidens of nine and ten years old, but none for their elder and presumably more attractive sisters.
 You like little girls, don't you, Paul?" asked somebody, kidding him.
 "Oh, not particularly. he sighed. "You see,'' he went on,~~ seriously, Tit will be at least ten years before I shall be able to marry. By that time this seasons ten-year-olds will be 20. and just right. Don't you think it is well for man to begin early to make acquaintances in his own set ?"

.HOBsON BEATEN.

Congressman Richmond F. Hobson knows the difference between talk and action now and also what is the opinion of the Alabama people of a man who neglects his duty as a member of one branch of congress in order to try and obtain a seat in another. He has been beaten by Congressman Oscar Underwood by a majority that is expected will run up close to 30,000 votes. Our own ''Uncle Jerry is delighted. He used to tell Mr.. Hobson that he should not absent himself from the sessions of congress so often, but the latter gem tleman was a law unto himself, there was a talk of duel and some hard words were exchanged. He has been beaten now and has destroyed what ever value he has had as member of the lower house.
 Hobson came out of the Spanish American war with a reputation for bravery, but when he went around on his osculatory trip through the country, the people became disgusted with him. He managed to get into con- gress. There he sought more war ves- sells and gave vent to his ideas as to coming hostilities, which, by the way, never came, and it became very evil dent that he was not a sound think CT and his opinions were not given serious consideration. He has been absent a great deal from his seat during the present session and spent his time in going up and down his state, stumping for the nomination for; United States senator. He has been badly beaten, as was expected, and there is no sorrow for his down fall. He is far from being a states man.

All the effort which has been de- voted towards the uplift of the drama and the exclusion of harmful pro- ductions from the stage does not seem to have been in vain however much so it may have seemed. The good effects are revealed from time to time and in no more certain way than the occasional decision by a theatrical manager to bar the indecent play. Just how much the indecent" play will be made to include must be awaited, but it gives evidence of some fatten- tion being paid to the demand for better things.-Norwich Bulletin.
