The remnant of a strange tribe of Eskimos has been discovered on Southampton island, at the north end of Hudson bay. These people had never seen a white man until recently. Their huts are built of the great jaws of whales, covered with skins. In tho middle is an elevation, on which is a stone lamp used for lighting, heating, cooking, melting snow arid drying clothes. The tribe is almost extinct, only some 1G being left. The royal commission which hag been investigating tuberculosis recom mends rigid laws. Some of the points proposed are: Reporting of cases; compulsory confinement, of recalci trant patients in special institutions; prohibition of infected persons from acting as nurses, teachers or physi cians; erection of municipal phthisis hospitals, the state bearing half the cost and the extremely poor being treated free of charge. Duke Carl-Theodor, of Bavaria, has for a great number of years followed the profession of a doctor. What •was in his boyhood a hobby has be come the serious work of his life time. His example has been followed by Prince Ludwig-Ferdinand, of Ba varia. a cousin of King Otto, who has also passed his examination as a doc tor. and who works in the Women's hospital, at Munich, and has thus found an outlet for his energies. By the will of the late Mrs. Mary M. Adams, widow of the late Charles Kendall Adams, formerly president of the university of Wisconsin, that in stitution will receive a large part of the estate. Two valuable paintings are left to the university, in addition to tho books, pamphlets and magazines of the late President Adams, and all the residue of the estate, the same to be applied to the fellowship fund cre ated under the will of President Adams. Representatives of all the kings of Europe marched in the funeral pro cession of the late Baroness von Cohn-Oppenheim, daughter of the old Emperor William's banker. The baroness was a benefactress on a grand scale and did more for litera ture and art than all the princes of Germany together. Some time ago, when a number of poor people lost money in a bank in which she was in terested, she paid their claims, amounting to $2,000,000, in full. Several smart English women re cently made an attempt to revive the long curls hanging on the shoulders, which date from the days when Queen Alexandra —then "tho sea king's daughter"—made her state en try into I/ondon. l.ady Warwick, Lady Essex and Lady Dudley adopted this mode, and appeared at the coro nation with long curls nestling on their necks. But even the beauty of these ladies has not sufficed to launch a coiffure of the sentimental sixties. A Wednesbury (England) resident in the sixteenth century left SI,OOO to provide annually on St. Thomas' day three gowns and three coats to in digent persons of the parish. Fol lowing the custom of the times the money was invested in land (in this case in minerals), and the original legacy has increased in value to $30.- 000. Instead of the three gowns and three coats, the charity commission ers who administer the funds are able to present 200 gowns and sixty coats. The Emperor Menelik, of Abys sinia, among his other hobbies, takes great interest in clocks, and several chronometers have recently been im ported from Switzerland by his Swiss adviser, which vary no more than six seconds in two months. Ras Makon nen has also ordered several curious mechanical clocks from Swiss firms for presentation to the negus and tho empress. The most remarkable of these is a great chiming clock to imi tate that of St. Margaret's, Westmin ster Abbey. The Commercial club, of Kansas City, has asked the Missouri legisla ture to appropriate $20,000 for a statue of T.iomas H. Benton, to be erected in Kansas City, as near as pos sible to the spot where Benton made his famous prophecy, in 1856, that this continent would be hound together by bands of iron, and that our pro ducts would be carried to feed the in numerable millions to the Orient. Pointing with outstretched hand to ward the setting sun, he said: "There Is the east; there Is the road to In dia," THEIR KNIVES IN HAND. I#-*>-iiiocratic ( Innmnfn Are Preparing for the Presidential Xouii -11 alio 11 Fray. Tt is cold-blooded business, tliis of starting' booms for democratic presi dential nominees merely to see "how the people take them" and what, chances there arc for making a real fight. It begins to look as though much of the recent talk about Judge Parker, of this state, has been indulged in simply ns a "feeler" to ascertain the sentiment of the party toward him. says the Troy (N. Y.) Times. And it. turns out that he is by no means a unanimous choice. A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, who seems to be quite near the democratic heart of things' in that locality, writ ing from Chicago, gives much interest ing inside information. He dismisses the Parker boom rather curtly, say ing it has come to a quick end, as the respon.se to the "feeler" put. forth in the east has not been encouraging. Only three of the democrat ic national committee expressed a preference for the judge. The correspondent re marks: "The New Yorkers seem to understand that an unknown man like Parker rannot possibly make the appeal to the west which, it is absolutely necessary should be made in order to holfJ out to the party workers- any hope of a victory. A signifi cant part of the recent poll of the national demoerat(c committee was the expression of Norman K. Mack, of Buffalo, the- New York committeeman. Mr. Mack was abso lutely noncommittal on the proposition, and it was noticeable that he was much leys enthusiastic in his praises, of Judge Parker as a man than were the committee men of some other states, who have proba bly never met the judge. It is stated here that there Is considerable quiet opposition among New York politicians to the nomi nation of Parker, and that ex-President Cleveland is among those who do not look with favor upon such a nomination. Mr. Cleveland, as was stated in this corre spondence some weeks ago, would rather have Olney nominated than any other man whose name ha-s been mentioned in con nection with the selection. Already It is given out from democratic sources that the election of Judge Parker to the bench was no indication of his extraordinary strength In that state." Meanwhile we are told that the Cleveland crowd is in dead earnest in efforts to secure the nomination of Richard Olney, while Mr. Bryan is try ing to make Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago, his residuary legatee. If Har rison is again elected mayor in March next it is regarded ascertain that Mr. Bryan will bring him forth before the next national convention as the Bryan candidate for the head of the ticket — provided, of course, that Mr. Bryan himself does not aspire to that honor, and it would not be at all strange if he did. All of which is highly interest ing as tending to show what is going on in democratic circles. It looks as though the final line-up in the democratic con test would be between Bryanism in the west and south and Cleveland ism in the east. And how each would love and support, the other, whichever won! 'GROWTH OF PHILIPPINE TRADE Gratifying Improvement In Hiininen* Condition!* in Our Sen Territory. Although conditions in some parts of the Philipine archipelago are not pros perous, owing to events beyond human control, there is evidence of gratifying improvement in the condition of the archipelago as a whole, in the increase in the export trade that is shown in the latest statement compiled by the bu reau of insular affairs, says the Albany Journal. For the month of September, which is the latest period concerning which statistics are available, the export trade of the islands amounted to $3,- 589,535, which makes the record for any month that has elapsed since the United States took possession of the islands. The total value of Philippine exports for five months is $19,239,018, against $18,800,798 for the corresponding period of the previous year. Imports, too, have increased. In Sep tember last those of merchandise amounted to $2,785,009, or about $500,- 000 more than in September of 1901. This shows that the purchasing power of the Filipinos has increased, despite the unfortunate happenings that have temporarily impoverished certain dis tricts. Barring the unforseen, there should be henceforth steady increase in the trade Of the Philippines, and especially their trade with the United States, soon to be facilitated by the establish ment of communication by cable, should develop lie.altliy growth. Rejoicing' Over Teller. It will be noticed that the demo cratic papers of the country at large are not jubilating over the reelection of Senator Teller. They are saying that lie is not a democrat anyhow, and that his vote will not be cast for demo cratic policies. Teller pretended to be a republican during all the days in which he was a power of any conse quence in legislation, but he has been a democrat in the past two years, so lie has confessed, and the country has a right to take his words for this. He has entered democratic caucuses from the beginning of the present congress, lie has called himself a democrat nil this lime, llis immediate friends in Colorado call him a democrat. And yet Teller's victory is not much of a triumph for him or for the party with which he lias allied himself. Ha re ceived a bare majority of the legisla ture, and this ma jority was due to the large number of hold-over members in one branch of tile legislature, whom the voters, in the recent election,could not get at. If all the members of (lie legislature had been chosen in the election of 1002 the republicans would have had . bngi- majority, and Teller would ' iii hi n defeated.- St. Louis CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1903. PLANS OF JUDGE PARKER. The Xi-n York Df moerntic Poxn iII I 111 y Tnkii Mention of llln \ume Seriousl)-. Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, during the recess of the court of appeals a few months hence, is to make a tour of the southern states, and de liver addresses in several of them. This shows that the judge takes the mention, of his name with the nomina tion of 1904 seriously, says (lie St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Early in 1893 David B. Hill made a similar pilgri mage to the south, where the senti ment was supposed to be strongly in his favor for the nomination that year. As a preliminary to the boom which was to be started for him in the south. Hill got up his early state convention, which met in February of that year, and which was to commit New York to him for the candidacy in the national convention to be held a few months later. Hill, accomplished nothing by his "snap" convention and his southern crusade. Will Judge Parker have bet ter fortune? Possibly he may. The judge is an unknown in polities, and as such he has charms for the drmo cratic politicians, who are anxious to get a man who can carry the country on any sort of a device or subterfuge, lie is personally a genial and popular man, but he has made no political record of any consequence! He sup ported Bryan in 1896 and 1900, which may be a merit in the eyes of western democrats, but this consideration is not calculated to arouse any enthusi asm among the democrats of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and the rest of the old doubtful states of the east, which win have to be carried by the democrats, if they are to win the presidency. Much interest is. taken in Parker in the south. Many of the newspapers and politicians in that, region have pro posed him fort he presidency, chiefly on the ground that he has made no po litical record at all. he is more avail able than the experienced men of all elements of their party, all of whom have made too much of a record for their own political good. Undoubtedly Parker's tour will attract, the coun try's attention. While the republic ans are not afraid of any aspirant who is mentioned in connection with the democratic candidacy, they are nat urally interested in anybody who has any chance for carrying the democrat ic convention. The judge's coming swing round the circle will get some space in the republican as well as the democratic journals. LEGISLATION AGAINST TRUSTS. Ini porta it t Cnnvn I'pon "Which Con- I4RCN« HUM I'NNNOD nml OtlirrM on the Way, Tt looks now as if congress might enact important anti-trust legislation at this session. One important meas ure has already passed both houses and is now in conference committee with every prospect of becoming a law in a short time. There is a provision in' -the bill to create a department of commerce, which provides for a bureau of corporations in that depart ment. with a commissioner in charge who si.n 11 have power to require re ports from corporations engaged in interstate commerce, to investigate their organization and business meth ods, to compel testimony and to en force publicity. This provision embod ies the features of one of the bills pre pared by Attorney Genera] Knox, which proposed to confer the power on a special committee which this provi sion confers on the commissioner of corporations. It isi a part of the ad ministration plan of anti-trust legis lation, says the Indianapolis Journal. Another part of the administration plan, as embodied in a bill drawn by the attorney general, was to forbid the giving or taking of railroad re bates, or the departing from published rates by a carrier through any device whatever, and giving the courts civil and criminal jurisdiction over the sub ject, both to restrain such practices and to punish them. This feature is embodied in the Elkins bill, which passed the senate. A third measure suggested by the attorney general was a bill to expe dite the hearing and determination of cases under the Sherman anti-trust law. Several important cases are now pen ding in the courts, including the Northern Securities case, the beef trust case and the railroad injunction suits. It is important that these cases should be heard and decided as soon as possible, and the attorney general suggested that the courts be directed, upon the motion of the attorney gen eri\l, to advance such eases, and that they might be appealed directly to the supreme court of the United States without the delay of an intermediate appeal to the circuit court of appeals. All these provisions were embodied in another bill introduced by Senator Elkins, and passed by the senate. Thus it will be seen that all of the sugges tions of the attorney general are well advanced towards enactment. The one embodied in the department of com mercet act is sure to become a law in a few days, and the other two, which have just passed the si nate, will prob ably pass the house.

He was the advance guard of a large body who are following him, and he has already invested in several farm ing sections for himself and others and purposes to take up his perma nent abode in this country, lie went onto say: "Hundreds are coming from my district alone.

"The impression general in the part of Dakota where I live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more a bushel for wheat on the American side of the line than on the Canadian, has not prevented peo ple. from turning their eyes to Can ada as a place to live in.
