From Washington
How a Little Boy Was Savod.
Washington, D. C.— ,, Wheu our hoy
was about 10 months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles. Iu a few days lie had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it won decided to be mumps. He
was giveu medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofuia and ordered a
salve. He wautod to lauce the sore,
but 1 would not let him aud continued
giving him medicine for about four
mouths when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told mo of a case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla. I decided to give
it to rny boy and in a short while his
health improved and his neck healed
so nicely that I stopped giving him the
mediciue. The sore broke out again,
y however, whereupon I again pavo him
Hood's Sarsaparilla aud its persistent
use has accomplished a complete
cure." Mas. NETTIE CHASE, 47 K

DAWSON OF 1900.
City Has Changed Greatly During the
Pant Year.
The Dawson of 1899 Is no longer the
Dawson of 1898, and much less that ol
the year previous. The thousands ol
•bateaux that were formerly lined up
•against the river front, in rows six
deep and more, and comprising all
manner of craft from the small canoo
to sliced sections of scows, have mostly
"disappeared, and in their place we now
'find the graceful and ungraceful forma
•of varying types of steamboat. It ia
no uncommon thing nowadays to find
.'five or more of these larger craft tied
up at one time to the river front, and
tthe amplitude and majesty of the Mis
sissippi boats gain but little in com
jparison with some of the larger craft
of the Yukon river. Overhung signs
. call attention to the flying queens ot
A Ithe river, the Bonanza King. Canadian
and Sibyl, and thousands are offered
upon the result of the race to the
White Horse rapids. So here, as in the
lolden days of the Mississippi, the
struggle for supremacy has led to the
opening of the throttle und to the
scraping of the fire-box. Upward of a
hundred arrivals from down the river
•were registered at Dawson during the
season of open water of 1899. —Apple-

THE SHAME OF IT ALL
ADMINISTRATION'S INTRIGUES
WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
the "Firing" of Hay Will Not Atone
'or This Awful Outrage Against the
Honor of the American I'eople—^lll
Re Restated at the Folia.
It may please President McKinley,
Secretary Hay and other Anglomaniacs
of our British administration to have
Uncle Sam's official mail opened by
the queen's imperial agents, and
marked "V. R." (Victoria Regina), but
it warms a patriotic American's blood
up to the boiling and fighting point.
It makes us feel like reaching out for
our good old double-barreled shotgun,
writes W. S. Bryan in St. Louis Jour
nal of Agriculture. The queen is a
most excellent old lady, a model house
keeper and mother, and a dear old
grandmother. w*hom we all love in
those several capacities. But she is
not "Victoria Regina" of these United
States just yet. We taught her grand
father, George 111., to quit signing his
name that way 124 years ago, and we
don't propose to allow the granddaugh
ter to resume the habit, however agree
able it might be to the Hanna-McKin
ley-Hay combination of British boot
lickers. Six weeks ago this paper de
clared that there was a big scandal
back of the Macrum incident, but it is
far more disgraceful and humiliating
than we supposed. It is simply un
bearable. The English agents would
never have dared to detain and open
United States official mail if there had
been no "understanding of alliance"
between British and American imperi
alists, as first asserted by Joseph
Chamberlain, and now reiterated by
Consul Macrum. Such an outrage
would be a casus belli if committed
against any other respectable govern
ment. But unfortunately this gov
ernment has ceased to be respectable
since it fell into the hands of the Han
na-McKinley-Hay gang.
• • •
If any additional evidence were
needed to establish the existence of a
secret understanding between the Mc-
Kinley administration and the British
imperialists, it would be found in the
|Hay-Pauncofote treaty regarding the
jNicaragua canal, and many other col
lateral circumstances. Tli4s astonish
ing treaty provides for the building of
,tlie canal by the United States, and its
mutual control by England and Amer
ica! In other words. Uncle Sam puts
up the money and digs the ditch, and
then John Bull steps in and helps him
enjoy the benefits. The ultimate pur
pose is the division of the North and
South American continents between
the English and American imperialists.
We are to take everything north of the
canal, including Canada and Mexico,
while England scoops in everything
south of that line. That is what the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty means, and
Mexico and South and Central America
so interpret it. But the American peo
ple will have something to say about
the deal before the final closing of the
bargain.
Hay may be "fired," but that will not
atone for the outrage. The whole Re
publican administration Is responsible.
The people will so decide at the polls.
LOOKING FORWARD.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, among a long
list of things he is engaged in looking
forward to, and which he and other
fantastic dreamers will continue to
look forward to until the dying breath
of time shall fan the ponderous gates
of eternity, is the following solution of
the capital anl labor question:
"I look forward to the time when,
by no sudden revolution, but by thQ
gradual diffusion of education and the
gradual diffus/on of wealth, the capi
talistic system will yield to a democ
racy of industry, as slavery has yielded
to feudalism, and feudalism to capi
talism; when the men who work,
some with brain and some with hand
and some with both brain and hand,
will themselves own the implements of
industry, and labor will hire capital,
instead of capital hiring labor."
Tf there is any "gradual diffusion"
of wealth beginning, nobody has dis
covered it. The farmer had a pair o!
balky mules. As dn experiment, he
tied a bunch of turnips to the wagon
pole, just beyond the reach of the ani
mals. Seeing them, smelling them and
almost tasting them, they started for
ward on a run to catch them, hut they
never did. "Looking forward" is too
much like the April fool joke in vogue
among the street urchins: "Look be
hind, mister," and he always does,
which is the essence of the joke.
PLAIN TO ALL BUT HAY.
By a curious paresis, the state de
partment is still puzzled by the Ma
crum mystery, and frankly says that it
cannot understand Mr. Macrum. The
department is evidently trying to as
certain the facts, hut Mr. Macrum, by
his own actions, has placed himself in
such a curious position that he has lost
the respect of the department.
There is not a particle of doubt
about it. Mr. Macrum. by telling the
truth, has not ouly lost the respect of
our Anglo-American state department,
but also Its confidence and his job.
This ought to be enough to make Ma
crum out a liar and a traitor, but there
are the original rifled letters with "V.
R." stamped on the American eagle.
This is alliance, witl "V. R." on top.
THE MACRUM INSULT.
The supineness of the McKinley ad
ministration to British insults shows
an alliance indeed "offensive." With
the evidence of confiscated official gov-
ernment letters In Mr. Maerutn's hands
the matter is referred to young Adel
bert Hay, son of our British secretary
of state, to disprove the truth of It.
Mr. Macrum has several envelopes
each bearing the British sticker ap
plied to the envelope after it had been
opened by the censor. He has one
envelope which contained mail matter
from Consul General Stowe at Cape
Town. It is the regulation blue of the
consular service. It bears upon its face
the legend "U. S. Consular Service"
and a stamp "Mail suspended." On the
reverse side is the United States gov
ernment seal impressed upon the red
sealing wax of the consular service.
The British sticker, resealing the letter
after it had been opened, bear 3 the po
tential initials "V. R„" the initials of
the clerk who opened the letter and
the name of the place where is was
opened.
The letter was mailed at Cape Town
Oct. 4 by Consul General Stowe. It
was held there one month apparently,
for the next postmark is that of Dur
ban. dated Nov. 4. From Durban It was
sent to Pretoria and reached Mr. Ma
crum in its mutilated form. The cir
culars to consuls Issued by the depart
ment, not in themselves important, but
nevertheless "official rn.il," never
reached Mr. Macrum. They were con
fiscated without apology or explana
tion by the British censor. As for Mr.
Macrum's personal mall, he never
heard of it.—St. Louis Journal.
Oar Brltlfih .Secretary.
Our Knickerbocker breeches British
secretary of state seems to think he
ought to be complimented for his effort
to fool the people of this country by
forcing a defensive and offensive al
liance with England on us under cover
of a pretended canal treaty. He thinks
such an alliance is necessary, because
he fears that the "United States will
not he able to maintain the Monroe
doctrine against the nations of Eu
rope" without the "assistance"—save
the mark!—of England. He might
have waited at least until England
whipped the little Boer republics—
about such a task as whipping the
states of New Jersey and Rhode Island
—before asking her help in sustaining
the Monroe doctrine. We have man
aged to take care of the Monroe doc
trine for seventy-seven years without
any help from England, and we shall
probably he able to blunder along in
our usual clumsy American style for a
few years more without calling on her.
Meanwhile we repeat our suggestion
that our British secretary of state
ought (to pack his knickerbocker pant
ies and his Tuxedo coat "with gold
lace around the edges" and go back to
England and swear allegiance to "Vic
toria Regina." If he has any self-re
spect left that is what he will do.—Ex,
Who Pay* the Wages.
An absence of benevolence is partic
ularly noticeable in the coal trusts.
There has been an increase of coal
miners' wages, but do the profits and
dividends of the coal trusts suffer?
We wonder who does. Perhaps the
following item from a Chicago paper
will tell.
"Eastern coal is to bo 25 to 50 per
cent dearer than at present, April 1, ac
cording to Col. W. P. Rend, who is in
Pittsburg. He says the advance is
brought about by an increase in wages
to the miners, by the low prices which
have prevailed and by the coal famine
in Europe, which has made it hard for
operators to fill orders. Chicago coal
dealers say the European famine al
ready has begun to tell on this market
and the supply of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania coal is decreasing fast.
It is almost impossible to get West
Virginia smokeless coal in Chicago
and there is a great deal of substitu
tion of other coals for the West Vir
ginia product.
A Foxy Alliance, but—
It is interesting to know that Great
Britain made to the United States a
vigorous offer of a formal alliance as
late as December lust. Lord Itosebery
is the authority for the statement. It
is a long time since so much talk of a
thing has been heard in two hemi
spheres, with so much denial of it at
this end or the line. Mr. Chamberlain
said, in substance, that there was an
alliance; and Lord Rosebery now men
tions the month when an,offer of an
alliance was made. The truth is prob
ably this: No alliance can possibly ex
ist, hut there could easily be some sort
of an understanding, vague enough to
warrant President McKinley's repudi
ation of it, in case the exigencies of
American elections required it. —
Springfield Republican (Rep.).
Wornn Tban Wcylor!
Naked, starving, and desperate, it is
feared that if the Republicans in con
gress persist In their determination to
vitiate the constitution by dooming
the Puerto Rieans to a slow and mis
erable death under the murderous op
eration of Diugleyism, the latter may
rebel and attempt to throw off Ameri
can sovereignty. Such a thing would
be a noble commentary on our "Chris
tian civilization." They never thought
of rebelling against Spain, which, com
pared with the United States, was a
kind and indulgent mother to them.

our government is continually in the
way of imperialism. We need a new

| GEN. H. GROSYENOR.
I ONE OF THE MOST FORCEFUL
MEN IN CONGRESS.
| Hla Readluoss for Battl* In One or
| Hit Leading Traits —Bus Served Near-
I ly Twenty Years In the Lower House
| at Washington.
There is no more interesting mem
ber of the present House of Represen
tatives at Washington than General
Charles H. Orosvenor of Ohio, whose
name, after the retirement of Speaker
Reed, was coupled with the speaker
ship.
One of the most prominent traits of
Gen. Grosvenor is his pugnacity. He
has been in Congress nearly twenty
years, and has been fighting all that
time. There is nothing he likes better
than a scrap, and there Is always fun
In the air when be gets up to speak.
OSN. CHARL H. GROSVKNOK.
He is all angles and pointß, and his en
trance into a debate is the signal for
the bristling of all the feathers an the
Democratic side. He is as obnoxious
to his opponents as a cat is to a poul
try yard.
Grosvenor is one of the most effec
tive debaters in the House. He knows
political history for the last thirty
yenrs and he has every man's political
fecord tucked away somewhere In his
well-filled brain, where he can get at
it at a moment's notice. This makes
him a very ugly customer. He has all
the resources of a great criminal law
yer in controversy. Defore he ever
went to Congress he had a reputation
in his state as one of the best crimi
nal lawyers who ever practiced In
Ohio—and that is saying a good deal.
Grosvenor Is younger than he looks.
He is some years on the sunny side of
CO, but his appearance Is that of a
man older than this. He is of meagre
size with white hair and white beard
and a pair of shaggy eyebrows beneath
which gleam a pair of very bright eyes.
He served all through the war in an
Ohio regiment from 1801 to 1865 and
was promoted from major to colonel,
retiring with a brevet of brigadier gen
eral of volunteers. In the battle of
Nashville he commanded a brigade.
Since the war he has never ceased to
take up the cudgels for his old com
rades in arms. There lias never been
a pension bill that he did not vote for,
and he always hits out from tho shoul
der when veterans are under attack.
Grosvenor is not a political managor
or organizer like some others in Ohio,
hut he is one of the most effective lieu
tenants that a great political organizer
could ask for. When Mark Hanna was
setting up the campaign which resulted
in McKinley's nomination, Grosvenor,
who couldn't consent to lie idle, began
to give out estimates from time to time
of the number of .delegates MeKinley
had secured. He had no authoritative
statistics, but he took the most favor
able figures he could find in the news
papers, adding a few MeKinley dele
gates here and there, to suit his taste,
and once a week would issue a bulle
tin which kept the MeKinley column
continually on the Jump. Pretty soon
people began to take Grosvonor's fig
ures seriously. He chuckled to himself
and kept it up. When the convention
finally met there was a landslide and
Grosvenor found himself more than
justified. Since that time he has en
joyed a reputation as a great statisti
cian, although he really cares very lit
tle about political mathematics. He
has a rich sense of humor, though,
that helps him to carry his reputation
with a great deal of tranoullity.
Driest Spot on Karth.
Payta, in Peru, is said to be the dri
est spot on the face of the earth, as
the average Interval between two
showers of rain Is seven years. The
flora of Payta consists of about nine
species—of these seven are annuals,
the seeds of which must remain dor
mant in the ground for eight years.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of rain,
the natives Bubsist by the growth of
the long-rooted Peruvian cotton, which
Is able to maintain itself without rain
for seven years in the dned-up river
bed, and yields profitable crops of col
ored short staple cotton.—Cincinnati

WHAT SOUTH AFRICANS EAT.
The Peculiar Diet of the Native Savages
—Ants and Mice.
German missionary who h; just re
turned from South Africa re ntly de
livered a lecture before the I irlin Geo
graphical society, in which lie brought
forward the following particulars con
cerning the peculiar diet of the native
savages of the Transvaal, especially as
noticed among the Basutos, the tribe
which is now threatening to take up
arms against the British, says the Phil
adelphia Record. One of their most
characteristic hunts is the mouse hunt.
Twenty to thirty Basutos gather to
gether; they march off carrying strips
of nets made by them for this purpose
and, accompanied by a large number
of dogs, about whose bodies different
sized bells are bound. The dogs make j
a big sweep round the countryside, 1
while the Basutos attach their various j
strips of nets into one long semicir- 1
cular barrier, the lower part of which j
is pinned to the ground. Then. ■
I crouching upon the ground and holding j
their sticks ready, they wait the com
ing of the mice. These, frightened by
I the bells dangling from tho dogs, grad
ually draw nearer and nearer to the |
net, along which they are at last found j
running in a vain effort to discover j
an opening through j which they may j
j escape. When the number of these
I victims is sufficiently great a shrill |
[ cry is emitted by the chief, the net is t
pushed forward all along the line, and •
the struggling creatures caught in the
meshes of the net are unmercifully '
whipped to death by the Jubilant sav- j
ages. Monkeys, constitute one of j
their favorite tid-bits, which are all '
the more appreciated as they are not |
so readily caught. Snakes are sim- 1
ply killed with blovrs from a switch
and are generally in high favor. Ac- j
cording to the their pop
ularity is well deserved. He biigeplf
took part in a meal in which snakes j
formed the chief attraction and found I
that this animal could be favorably i
compared with L prime eel. Most j
popular of all delicacies, however, are
the caterpillars. It is not unusual to j
learn of a quarrel which has broken
out among the natives for their pos
session. The most favorable time for 1
catching them is the early morning and ,
late evening hours, when their wings j
are heavy with dew and they are un- •
able to see clearly. The children ot
the mission, numbering about 400, hav
ing organized a locust hunt, succeeded
one day in capturing no less than 160
pounds of these insects, which were
consumed with the greatest avidity |
before the day had passed. At certain j
times of the year the great white- I
winged ants leave the earth, and it is j
then that a most zealous competition
arises between the Kaffir children and
the chickens of the dorp for the pos
session of tho prized morsels. It is at
such times that the Kaffir youngsters j
may be seen running about with their i
mouths stuffed full of ants, and, if the j
chase has been especially successful,
with both fists also full of these succu
lent dainties
Making u Billiard Bull.
It requires skilled labor to turn out
a billiard ball. One-half of it is first
turned, an instrument of the finest
steel being used for tho work. Then
the half-turned ball is hung up in a 1

nearly a year to dry. Next the second
half is turnod, and then comes the pol- 1
Ishing. Whiting .end water and a good •
deal of rubbing are requisite for this. |
It is necessary in the end that the ball I
shall, to the veriest fraction of a grain,
