Alcohol nnd Life Insurance.
THK CHICAGO Record-Herald
makes ;i point when it says
that "tho plan recently in
r.iiKiirated by u life in
surance company in New York, to
write policies for 'total abstainers'
upon a different basis from that offer
ed to users of alcoholic stimulants," if
generally adopted by all of the bis? life
underwriters In this country "cannot
fail to become a Kieat power and
Influence for temperance." Our con
tHmpcnary believes that the other life
Insurance companies will adopt the
plan. It explains that "after an ox
t'liderl study of mortality statistics for
several years, supplemented by the
testimony of medical .-cience. the com
pany lia. finally concluded that tho
claim that total abstinence conduces
to longevity 110 longer admits of doubt,
and it proposer, to Rive total abstainers
the benefit of lower rates for life In
surance." It adds Hint If the plan becomes the
fi::ed poliov 0 life Insurance com
paniesa thins; it evidently antici
pates at 11 1 distant day "It will
doubtless becoini- necessary to classify
inks into total abstainers, occasional
drinkerji and daily topers." It is easy
to ree in such a case where the chief
fer -e of Hie Record-Herald's prophecy
of the new plan's Influence for temper
ance will be. "Oivjirtnnni drinkers"
will, in a lfirsp proportion of cases,
take especial care never to allow
themselves to slide down into tho
"toper" class even If they have mi
higher inlluenee holding them where
by the policies they hold will become
Hinted. As for the Insurance com
panies, they hnvp a perfect right to
protect themselve.s against had risks,
in thi:. direction as In any other.
The traction company Is to be con
gratulated upon getting some new opn
e;:r.s for the Nay Aug park line. That
much used line hap had u long and nad
probation with cars that should long
nso have beer, admitted to the morgue.
Ugjit nut! Power Resources.
H HE GKNKRATIONnnd trans-
niisMon of eloetriclty, for
JL lighting and power purposes,
f from water courses, though
hut h (ew years known is already a
enmmorjplacp tft thfr'npdnlo' of today,
Thrte vn.s at least the beginning of ,1
scare over possible exhaustion of the
world's foal supply, and, tl)e cotwequent
loss, of that source of electric llRlu and
power currents, when the orerrftus of
them from river and smaller streams
was learned, followed by successful
experiments in Ions distance trans
mission. Ah! a perennial, an Inex
haustible source of supply! cry some.
Yet it te not so, Jtec.klesa waste of
nature's forces and bounty is Imperil
ling that source of supply, ever inure
and more. The springs and smaller
streams,ills,aipe.iri uol by scores only
but by iiumhed.' The rivers tun low,
in manj1 cases with their beds for
mora than half tho area of their width
absolutely dry for months.
We take from tho San Francisco Ar
gonaut a recent notice, exultant in its
tone, of soma transmissions of electric
power, sained from rivers for long dis
tances. The Argonaut's paragraph lg.
nores the very conclusion it needed to
draw for the reader. It chronicled "the
test of the monster plant on the banks
of th Mokelumne river, when a cur

rent wllh n foire nf CO.OOO vnlin was
successfully transmitted to H.tn .lose,
tSI miles distant." Then it goes on to
say;
"Tho Incident iupiiiih that Hie portal
lifts harnessed n power1 ptilllclent for
lighting, etreet cars and fitctorles,
which makes, or will nittke. (ho cities
practically liHlcppnilpnt of either coal

of Itedlands, and In Oakland a similar
one Is doll vol od 110 tulles t'iniu the
power house on I ho South Yuba river.
With experlmetilH already made, piac
tlcnlly assuring the transmission of
electric power at least iOO miles, what
possibilities tiro opened Up for the
whole state!"
'flip l'hlladi.'lplila Ledger, one of the
newspapeis thoroughly alive to the vi
tal Importance of lCMtorlng this coun
try's shamefully wasted forest wealth,
and regarding truly tho actual signifi
cance of the Argonaut's facts and ot
many more like them, gives tho con
clusion of the whole matter, which
the Argonaut failed to see. As tho
Lpdgpr gives warning: "It will be scon
from these beginnings of a new era In
the electric ago that the rivers and
streams of the country assume an add
ed Importance. When the rleinonatra
tlon of the value of water courses has
been made more striking, an It will bo
with rapid strides, the subject of for
estry In Its relation to the water sup
ply will, perhnps, receive the serious
attention which it deserves."
This country cannot afford to keep
on deliberately wasting its supplies
of woods and water, the last of which,
.is every new decade gives irrefrag
able evidence, Is so dependent upon
the (list.
Recorder Ilmwii, of Pittsburg, has in
striiPled his director of public safety to
make vigorous enforcement of tho Blue
haws. Pittsburg is evidently destined
to have a busy season.
For Chinese Immigration,
'-F-'V"': nil.VKHK In the Fnitel
States, it now appears, have
come to the conclusion,
from the modeiatlon of tho
government In dealing with china
simc tho Poxer outbreak, that the
present is ,1 good time to endeavor to
secure the repeal of the Chinese ex
clusion law, and the throwing of this
country wide open to Chinese immi
gration. The Hoary exclusion law will ter
minate next year. Congressman
Kahn of San Francisco will introduce
into the bouse ot representatives
next winter a bill to extrnd the pro
visions of that law for twenty years
longer. The New York Tribune of
Saturday leports an organised mnve
lnet.t started anions the Jhines.! 11 or
chants in that city to obtain Its entire
icpeal.
This movement was started only ,1
fe.v days ago, yet "within the next
two weeks every one of the fifteen
t.-umsnnd Chinese here, (in New ".nlv.i
w'il 'jo asked to sign a tuipfullv pre
paud memorial to the I'nited States
governmint asking that the exclusion
act bo repealed, and protesting- In the
stiongrst terms against its extension
till lie':'." Philadelphia Chicago. Port
land. Seattle, San Francisco, and other
cities having lar:;e Chinese conting
ents will send In similar memorials
all to boproonud through ."Minister
Wu Ting-fang.
Further, it appears that 'these
Chinese already in America beli'.'vo
that "thousands of Amerlnins are op
posed to the exclusion act," and they
propose to ask Americans to sign 11
petition to grant Hie Chinese free ad
mission to tills country, This petition
"Chinos" lawyers and students are
now if.'awing up." The Chinese con
sul general in New York, Chow Ts;:
chl, has been talking very freely and
confidently of the movement to tho
New York Tribune, Ho uomplalui
that the fhineso "want" very much to
come here "to settle dowr and become
property owm rs, taxpayers, and pos
sessed of full sv.tt'r.ige." Yes, Ameri
cans have known for a. good many
years that the i'IiIuc-d "want" these
thlngi, and they are piecisely tin!
thirga Hint the majority of Americans
In no wise agree with thrni would bo
desirable: even though the.-e Now
York Chlncs'e line sure .that manv
thousands of Americans "waul" free
admission for all the multitudes of
Chinamen eager to come In to Ibis
as "the laud of promlM" lor them.
Consul chow complains that "Hungar
ians, Poles, Hermans, Japanese and
Irish can come In." The comparison
of these immigrants with Chinese If.
unfair. If the Japanese can come in
at least they have not been, and ato
mil now, eager to swarm in by the
millions.
Consul Chow declares that "Inllueu
Hal Ainorlians in Hie South" tell him
the Southerners deist re the ChiiVcse.
"to come In and turn tlm great marsh
es of the South Into rice lands, and in
nlher paits to build up great tea-gardens."
We very much doubt any such
desire among Southerners In any num
ber cither in "the Black Belt" or out
side it. They already have one race
problem on their bands.
But tho New York Chinese are in
absolute eat nest. ,a an organ of
their movenment they have started a
weekly iiowspaper, "Tho Chluo.so
Weekly Herald." Through Its Inlluenee
the organization of tho movement will
begin in Chicago, during this present
week, Tlin whole movement Is tho

Whaf If Costs fo
Do the Exposition
.Ppeclnl r'orrepondcnce to 'Hie Tribune,
Buffalo, N. Y Juno 2:i.-Yntl ran
eomo to the expn.iltlon with reasonable
pxppiitic, but probably you won't. Thorn
aro a vast number of ways In which
to ttpoiul money and they nien't diffi
cult to Hud. If you mvc In one way,
you arc apt to spend In another. If
you don't take a Jlnrlklslm mid go Jolt
ing over tho pavements with a swift
footed Jap for .1 steed, you will prob
ably buy an extra piece of foolishness
from sonic nf the Intiiunerablo booths
In the vat ions buildings. If you deny
yourself the luxury of a luncheon at
the American Inn, you will bo beguiled
Into "Alt Nuremberg," whore you will
pay from throe to five prices for things.
If you escape the burning mountain In
Hawaii, you will probably fall Into the
arena of.llons which Frank Bostwlck Is
showing. Jf you aren't caught by the
bull light, you will bo drawn into the
Indian village.
But after all, thus" who have conces
sions on the exposition aro tin more ex
tortionate than they were at Chicago,
and, In fact, the prlres are rather more
reasonable. Tho conveniences of trans
portation are better, the accommoda
tions In tho city 1110 Just as complete
and no more expensive, and the rates
of admission to many of tho Midway
features nre lower.
The "Amerlcnn Inn" Is tho most
popular restaurant Inside tho grounds,
as Ihe service .Is excellent and the ac
commodations are limited, Teoplo al
ways throng wherever there Is limited
room, and they will stand behind each
other's chairs, and rush for places, and
wait long for opportunities to pay 2."
cents for a little dish of hashed brown
potatoes, SI. 7.1 for a steak with mush
rooms and 2."i oonlM for a few straw
berries, with other things In propor
tion. Bailey, the caterer, has most of
the concession privileges of the grounds
and while his prices are high in the
handsome Stadium restaurants, at the
lunch tables below stairs It is possible
to secure cold dishes at very reasonable
rates indeed. If you are not fussy
about having a tablecloth and napkins,
you will find delicious milk for five
cents: sandwiches, of almost every
variety, ten cents, and other things in
proportion. With tablecloths thrown In
you will pay double, If not licble, for
the very same articles. But some peo
ple are fussy about tablecloths.
The buildings are fast reaching com
pletion. No one need delay making
plans now to visit the exposition nt any
time, because of fears lhat they will
Ilnd many details unlinished. Nothing
will be missed, for work is being pushed
by night and by day, ami tho evidences
of chaos are very few.
The Art nailery is now being thronged
by visitors. It is a genuine surprise.
All the rumors that it would be :,
mediocre sort of affair wore most un
fair, and ill-advised. It i.s a superb ex
hibition. I wish to devote (several ar
ticles to the pictures you cannot af
ford to miss, to tho lovely sculpture
.fid the excellent collection of original
drawings. From the time your eyes
meet tho great Shaw niemoilal at tho
entrance until you have wandered
thiough room after room to Ilnd no
entl to the interest and charm, you will
be glad of every moment you can spend
there. It must be realized that the
works exhibited are solely those of
Amciicin ntiists. They Include the
paintings which have beer, talked of
in art ciicler. of two continents, and of
newer artists who will be heard of in
the next decade.
But why on earth Hie selection of tho
present site was determined for the art
gallery passes comprehension, it is far
on Hie outskirts of tin; grounds, in a
spot which becomes tho center of the
most Immortally sticky yellow mud
that ever was gathered up by harmleps
lYnnsylvaiilaii feet whenever it has
rained, which is dally.
The calalogues have boon Issued only
by installments, apparently, as the first
few received from tho printer were
grabbed before Hie ink was dry. Yes
terday it was impossible to beg, bar
row or buy one at any price, One wo
man actually abstracted a catalogue
from the pocket of a man who hap
pened to bo looking the other way, and
there is not a doubt in the world but
Hint he was the maddest individual in
Buffalo when he discovered his loss,
'file ' dark blue pamphlets wore so
scarce that it is ,i wonder he didn't
spot the daring art f nthr.slast at once,
"I simply had to have It," she ex
plained to a remonstrating friend. "Tho
selllsh tiling! He wasn't using it and
didn't need it, and 1 did, How was 1 to

over Hie doors'.'"
Among the thing, which seem to In

view dead babies), "the most highly re

people do seem to crowd into tho place,
whether they lay claim to lofty intelli

manifestly disappointed. "'Taint fair."
she was remarking. "Our incubator np

This Is 'milling but a coop with a teeny

To Wage Earners
and Others of
Moderate Income
To not spend your money foolishly
because you have so little of it. mit
save what you can fiom month to
month and invest It in something that
will multiply many fold. Tho mil
lionaires of this section wore laboring
nifti a generation ago and they pur
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew it all in. Tho pru
rient ones saw that fuel was a good
thing, that the world bad to have
It, and they bought coal land, a little
at a time as they could spare It, and
It. has made them rich, and their fami
lies live and will live in the greatest
comfort, while Hie descendants of
their imprudent, comrades aro labor
ing as their fathers did for day!
wages.
Keep this object lesson in mind.
The opportunities of that earlier time
were in coal, today greater opportuni
ties exist in oil, which is fuel in a
more concrete form and is rapidly
supplanting coal, because It Is easier
and cheaper to mine and handle, and.
Is, besides being a more economic
fuel for all large consumers, profit
able for :i hundred other uses. Tho
oil of California. Is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel, for tho lack of
which -her progress has been woefully
retariKd. Tho entire Pacific, coast
will consumo oil as a. fuel, so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia is unlimited. California oil
refiner) will hold tho markets of the
far Kast and of the west coast of
South America. It is plain to be seen
thar the oil Holds of California will
be the source of incalculable wealth,
far beyond what tho coal mines of
Pennsylvania htivn been in tho past.
All thoughtful men can see that tho
thing to do now to make money Is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putably managed oil companies hav
ing largo holdings of undoubted oil
lnnds secured at low prices, and only
roo.ui.rlng development to become tho
source of enormous revenues for
fchoreliolders-.
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
Olh COMPANY has in the most im
portant oil fields managers of ability
and integilty and of the highest prac
tical (nullifications for their business,
find the shares of this company are
today, without doubt, the best Invest
ment obtainable. These shares would,
be cheap at 40c, hut aro soiling for
the time being at 20c per share, to
procure money to bore the first wells.
The price Is sure to advance rapidly
to keep pace with the developments
on the company's lands and on ad
joining lands, The market value of
tho lands is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an investment in
this stock, As to tho value of this
oil property and the character and
ability of Its managers this company

IhfAe will he given tin (t0 per rent, nl ail the money he or he turns in to Tho
Tribune, to assist in paying this expense.
Here is an opportunity for some ambitious young people to
earn the best college education without a great amount of effort,
and it is an opportunity that may never be repeated. The Trib
une may find the returns much less than the expense and would
then be unable to again make such generous offers. Such a con
dition will be The Tribune's loss and the contestants' gain.
There are many young men, and young women, too, who
would be glad of an opportunity to "work their way through col
lege," in fact, the presidents of these institutions are deluged with
applications for chances of this kind. Here the work for an entire
course of four years can all be accomplished in three small months,
and an education that would cost in cash $1,000 is assured with
out further outlay. Parents should urge their boys and girls to
enter the contest and work for one of the special rewards. One
of the eight is within the reach of everyone who really tries.

handsomely illustrated booklet. Address,
