New Jersey hae become famous a® the breeding place and home of trusts. And now It Is coming to the front ss the hot bed of anarchy In this country. Is It more than a natural sequence that the trusts and the anarchists should be found in company? It Isn't often that a farmer Is made happy through the robbery of his hen roost, yet that Is what occurred at Manor, Fa., the other day. Thieves took several of Farmer Mieskey’s fowls, but In mak ing the raid they dropped a pocket book containing *6O. ten times the value of the fowls stolen. The farmer does not believe that the losers of the money will come back for It. According to the Information. which comes to Japan, the Oregon will have to be out of commission at least four months. It will take that long to repair the holes that were punched Into her by the Pinnacle rocks, and the expense of the repairs will be over 1100.000. Mean while It Is a pleasure to know that the Btagniflotnt ship is safe and can be made as good as ever. The activity of ths anarchists and the discovery that Paterson, N. J., la the abiding place of a large number of them, will, of course, lead to an animated dis cussion for a time of the need for still further strengthening our immigration Saws In such manner as to shut the doors of the ports In the faces of European anarchists. But t&e probabilities are that by the time of the convening of Con gress the agitation will have died out and nothing will be done with respect to those laws. Porto Rican money went out of clrcu laiiorTas a legal tender last Wednesday. The conversion act provided that Porto Rican pesos should be redeemed at 00 cents In American money per peao. It Is said that the establishing of the Amer ican standard Is working great hardahlpa upon many people, especially .those who work for wages, since there appear* to be a concerted movement on the part of merchants, landlords and others to main tain prices under the gold standard. In other words, they are now charging a dol lar for whatever a peso was formerly the price. Rents that were formerly twenty- Ave pesos art now 125, notwithstanding ths dollar Is north 40 cents more than the peso. Thl* matter will, of course, be adjusted eventuelly, but it u likely that there will be a great deal of dlrsatlafac tlon, and much shasp practice by money changers before the settlement has been perfected. THE IBDFE OK THE CAMPAIGN. There is not much doubt that antt . imperialism will be the great issue of campaign. It is becoming clear that > the Republicans are afraid that it will ; tie. Their newspapers are already hav ; ing more to say about it than about sil ver. That is an excellent indication as to what lseue the people are thinking of. And il must be remembered that the campaign has hardly begun. Indeed the leaders are claiming that it has not formally been begun, and will not be un til the candidates make public their let ters of acceptance. Still, the issues ere being discussed on the stump ami in the newspapers. A report comes from the West that in dicates that the Republicans are becom ing uneasy about Mr. McKinley's pros pects. It is that the Republican man agers are spending a great deal of money In buying up German newspapers that are against imperialism and militarism. The Republicans will have to have a pret ty full treasury if they undertake to silence hostile German newspapers by means of money. There are plenty of German newspaper proprietors who would be glad, in all probability, to sell out at a good profit. But if there were a Ger- I man demand for anti-imperialistic lit erature. the demand would be satisfied, even if the Republicans bought up all of the German newspapers In the West op posed to their party. The demand would make it .profitable to publish anti-impe rialistic newspapers in the German lan guage. It may be that there is no foundation \ to the report that the Republicans are j purchasing German newspapers which ! are against their party. Asa rule their ; managers are very shrewd. But it would be no indication cf shrewdness to endeavor | to keep the German voters in ignorance j or to deprive them of information. Let the German-cAmericon Republicans get the impression that the Republicans are not dealing fairly with them, and they will turn to Mr. Bryan by the thousands in every Western state. A MISTAKEN CONTEMPORARY. The Charleston News and Courier dis cusses Savannah’s ordinance, requiring crews of vessels at ber wharves to sleep ashore during August, September and Oc tober. Just as if Savannah, instead of Charleston, Were trying to get the naval station away from Port Royal. Savannah is making no effort to get the station. She is rather anxious that it shall re main at Port Royal. This Charleston knows very well. We cannot understand therefore the motive that causes the News and Courier to give so much of its val uable editorial space to the ordinance which requires crews of vessels at this port to sleep ashore during three months of the year. Has the News and Courier some particular spite against Savannah? It would seem so, from the fact that It is continually falling attention to things which it seems to think will Injure her. If Savannah were trying to get the naval station, or had any prospect of getting It under the recent act of Congress, we could understand the motive of the News and Courier. Perhaps It Is trying to prevent a helping hand being extended to Port Royal? It Is true that Savannah has some sympathy for Port Royal In this matter of the re moval of the station, and something has been said to the effect that the commission appointed to report on the question of the advantages of Charleston, as a place for the station, ought to Inquire whether Charleston has a plentiful supply of good drinking water. Very little comment has been made on Charleston's water supply because there has been no desire to Injure that city In any way. As far as we know the com mlesion's attention has not yet been call ed to the reports of the Marine Hospital Service, published on July 27 last. In a report from Charleston, dated July 14, It is stated that from May 1 to July 1 there were 112 chse® of enteric fever In that city .generally of a mild character. "They were all Investigated,” says the report, "by the city bacteriologist and gave Vi dal's reaction. Active measures were at once taken by the local health authori ties, and with apparent success. It was soon discovered that the infection was derived from the water of the cisterns.” According to the report eighty-five of the cisterns were examined, and forty-four percent, of them were found to be In fected with typhoid bacillus. We do not cal! attention to the fore going report of the Marine Hospital Ser vice for the purpose of getting It before the Naval Commission, but simply to em phasize the fact that Charleston's cistern water is far more dangerous to the health of that city than any malaria there may be along Savannah's river front is to Sa vannah's health. Savannah experiences no trouble from the source against whlcfti her ordinance guards, while the report from which we have quoted Justifies the suspicion that Charleston's health Is menaced not only three months of the year, but all the year around by her wa ter supply. Is It In Charles'on's pro gramme to ask for a government hospital If she should succeed In getting the naval station? The rare beauty of Miss Abigail Robert son, of the state of New York, cannot be questioned, without contempt to the highest court of that state. She Is the only woman living who has the distinc tion of having her personal charm* af firmed by a legal tribunal, especially one of such eminence. In passing Judgment In a case In Robertson had sued a manufacturer for using her por trait for advertising purposes, the learned Judge said, In part: ‘‘She Is undoubtedly a young woman of rare beauty, and this she enjoys a* a private citizen." That has gone Into the records, and will re main good law until reversed by as high or some higher authority—which It Is safe to say will never be done. The American liner Paris, which went ashore on ths Manacle, rocks off the coast of England a year ago, and which is now undergoing repairs at Cardiff, Is to be vir tually anew ship and have anew name when she Is put Into the water again seven months hence. All of the bottom Is to be reconstructed, and new engines and bc-llers wlih 2,000 horse-power more than the oid onee are to be put In. This will give the ship considerably more speed than she had before. The reconstructed craft is to be celled the Philadelphia. It Is to be hoped that she will have better luck than fell t the lot of the Paris, t THE MOBNING NEWS: SATURDAY; AUGUST 4. 1900. A PLAC E POll Sl ftPLPS CAPITAL. Our exports have now become so i enormous and so greatly exceed our im ports that It will not be many years before there will be so much capital in this country that it will puzzle financiers to invest it profitably. It Is now said, and the same thing has been said for years, that it does not pay in this coun try’ to put money in ships, because ships do not earn as much as can be obtained for money in other kinds of Investments, but if the time Is approaching when in vestors will be willing to take a very small rate of interest, will they not be willing to invest in ships? The proba bility is they will. They would rather have their money earning something than to have it idle. Assuming that such is the case, there is no need of the proposed ship subsidy legislation. By waiting a year or two capital will be Invested in ship yards, and the building of a sufficient number of ships to do the carrying trade of the en tire country will be begun. It is true that it may be a long while before American steamships can be run as cheaply as are those of Great Britain and some other nations, but in propor tion as the population increases and the country becomes crowded, the demand for employment will Increase, and then it will be possible for American ships to compete successfully with those of any other nation. There will be no need for subsidies. If the subsidy plan should be adopted it would be impossible practi cally to get rid of it in half a century. Even now there is work enough offering to keep several more shipyards than we have busy. All of our shipyards have orders far ahead. It is worthy of notice that the President of the Great North ern Railway is of the opinion that ships of the first-class can even now be built and operated by Americans at a good profit on the money invested in them. His railway Is building great steamships on the Pacific coast to be utilized In trade with the far East. If they can be built and operated on the Pacific coast they can be on the Atlantic coast. It would not be surprising if the problem of establishing American lines of steam ships to all of the leading ports of the world should be solved before Congress gets through talking about the plan for subsidising steamship lines. THE FEVER AT TAMPA. No on of course can say what the out come of the fever which has appeared at Tampa will be—whether it will become epidemic or will disappear after there have been a few cases—but, as yet, there Is nothing very alarming in the situation there The Florida health officer has the reputation of being a very efficient official, and It is certain that every effort will be made to prevent an epidemic and to con fine the disease to Tampa. Quarantine has been established against Tampa by two or three cities, and other cities are waiting for further develop ments. If the impression gets abroad that Tampa Is In for an epidemic of yellow fever every place in which there exists any apprehension of the disease will quar antine against her. Of the necessity for a general quaran tine law administered by some central au thority there Is no doubt. If only two or three cases of yellow fever should appear within the next few weeks In widely sep arated places In the Southern states the commerce of the entire South would be practically tied up by quarantine regu lations. It would be impossible for the transportation lines to move their cars in any direction. It will be known within a week or two whether or not the fever at Tampa is likely to become epidemic. There is no panic there. The people do not seem to have any apprehersion of an epidemic. If the sanitary conditions are good It may be that the efforts to stamp out the dis ease will be successful. A tI.OOO-MILE RACK. Great Interest Is being manifested In New York in the great ocean race which will take place between four of the big gest steamships afloat next week. They are the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse of the North German Lloyd I/lne, the Deutsch land of the Hambwg-Amerlcan Line, the New York of the American Line, and the Oceanic of the White Star Line, the lat ter ship being the biggest In the world. These are about the fastest steamships that have yet been built. They fact ocean greyhounds. The Deutschland has made the fastest time between New York and a European port. It Is proba ble that the New York Is the slowest of the four, and yet she has made remark ably good time. The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse will start on Tuesday and the other three will start on Wednesday. All of them carry mall for London, and there is considerable speculation as to which ship's mall will reach that city first. The supposition would naturally be that the one that started twenty-four hours ahead would deliver her mall first, but It seems that the other ships have certain advan tages In delivering the London mall which have to be taken Into consideration. But there is more interest In the time that each will make than in the date on which each will deliver her mall In Lon don. The ships starting so nearly togeth er it is probable that they will have about the same weather conditions during the entire trip. It seems to be the un derstanding in steamship circles that each ship will do her best. The talk Is that the race will be a record-breaking one and will be long remembered In steamship cir cles. u , Generally speaking a bolt of lightning Is regarded as being about the limit for swiftness. But In New York state there Is a woman who, according to her own statement. Is swifter. The other day In a thunderstorm she saw a lightning bolt coming directly towards her, but she dodged It. Then the bolt turned end start ed for her again, but she outran It Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman In New York, is alway# doing something to astonish the newspaper people Not withstanding her age. she haa recently completed a course of Instruction in short hand writing. What use she expect* to make of her stenography nobody seems to be able to guess. The New York Commercial says that the fashions In writing paper are set In the United States. It is pleasant to know that we set the fashions in something W* copy Paris in bonnets and gowns for wo men, and London in dress for men. But if we set the pace in stationery, why, that is some little offset. While the world is racked with wars and the atmosphere is redolent of burnt powder and blood, the lieutenant general of the United States army Is complacent ly designing for himself anew uniform. The law gives him the right to select his own uniform, and he has gone about the task with infinite care and an artistic eye. The uniform, it is predicted, will be among the most gorgeous in the world. It is to be modeled after the Imperial Rus sian style, which Gen. Miles saw and ad mired when he was abroad. The coat will be covered wfth'gold braid, and the cap will be adorned with an extra golden star. The assassin of King Humbert will prob ably be shot- According to an Italian law yer in New York, there Is no death pen alty in Italy except the military execution by shooting. Under this sentence the pris oner is blindfolded and shot in the back. The assassin will be tried before a court consisting of three Judges and twelve Ju rors. The accused will have counsel, but the counsel will not be permitted to cross examine witnesses. All of the questions will be asked by the Judges. A majority only of the Jury is necessary to find a verdict. Miss Millie Daniel cf! Nemaha, Kan., is said to be the teacher of the most pop ular and flourishing school in that state. Miss Daniel has established anew sys tem of awards for merit. On Fridays she permits each lad who has not been ab sent during the week to kies her once. Any lad who has added good lessons ar.d perfect deportment to his record may kiss her twice. Two days after she announced the new schedule, it is said, new pupils began to arrive, and they have been com ing ever since. Many of them have beards. - _ ♦ , For a great mind, one has only to look to Fcraker of Ohio. This is hew he eluci dates the puzzle of Pekin: "The Chinese question Is pregnant with possibilities.

The Nashville American (Dem.) says: "One reason the pension scandal goes on and Increases In Infamy each year Is that the people do not realize that it is they who pay the bills. The usual phrase Is: 'The government pays the pension ers; the government is a rich concern with unlimited money, and if It chooses to be imposed, on, well and good. We are not the losers.’ But what supports the government Is the people of the United States, the men that work, and a part of their labor is taken from them by the taxing power and given to the govern ment. It may be done directly or indi rectly, but It Is done. If the people would appreciate the manner in which they are robbed, they would elect no man to Congress not favorable to cutting the pension cancer to the bone. What a mag nificent chance for some congressman to make a reputation—to present facts and figures, to picture the real conditions.” Commenting on Ex-Gov. Altgeld’s speech in reply to Gov. Roosevelt's char acterization of Democrats as cowards and shirkers, the Chicago News (Ind.) says: "Gov. Rosevett should take this severe excoriation to heart to the extent of realizing that as a candidate for the vice presidency he will be, if elected, vice president of all the people and not of the Republican party. To moderate his rhetoric win not only do Justice to him self, but also to his opponents." The Washington Poet (Ind.) says: "There Is one marked peculiarity In the evidence In the Kentucky assassination trial. When Mr. Goebel was shot the whole affair was Involved in mystery. Now, according to the testimony adduced by the prosecution, the conspirators were overheard In every nook and corner and the advance advertising of the tragedy was of the most extravagant variety." The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says: "An Illustration of the good Influence of newspapers Is o be found In the ve hement and prompt condemnation meted out to (he New Orleans rioters by the press of that great city. The papers could not prevent the trouble, . but they did much to atop ft." The Red Radge “In Hock.” Hamlin Garland in a sketch of Stephen Crane in the Saturday Evening Post says; "When Crane came next day he brought the first part of a war story w hich was at that time without a name. Such mastery of details of war was sufficiently startling in a youth of 21 who had never smelled any more carnage than a firecracker holds, but the seeing was so keen, the phases so graphic, so fresh, so newly coined, that I dared not express my admiration. "The next day I asked for the other half of the novel. ’We must get this published at once.' I said. ‘lt is a wonderful story. A mysterious product for you to have in hand. Where is the other part?’ "He looked very much embarrassed. TPs in ''hock,'' he said, ’to the typewriter.’ “We all laughed, but it was serious business to him. '• How much Is it “hung up" for?’ “ 'Fifteen dollars!’ "I looked at my brother, ’t guess we can spare that, don't you think?’ •'So Crane went away joyously and brought the last half gf “The Red Badge of Courage,” still unffitmed at the time. He told us that the coming of that story was mysterious, and I can believe it. It literally came of Its own accord like sap flowing from a tree. “I had given him a letter to a syndicate press company, and with them he had left the manuscript of his war novel. In a let ter written in November, 1894, he makes sad mention of his lack of success: ” My Dear Friend: So much of my row with the world has to be silejtce and en durance that sometimes I wear the ap pearance of having forgotten my best friends, those to whom I am indebted for everything. Asa matter of fact, I have just crawled out of the fifty-third ditch into which I have been cast, and I now feel that I can write you a letter which will not make you ill. put me In one of the ditches. He kept The Red Badge six months until I was near mad. Oh, yes —he was going to use it, but Finally I took it to B. They use it in January in a shortened form.’ ” Kept Faith With Their Lives. The Montana Herald tells the story of a poor sheep herder, who, during the bliz zard last winter, had charge of a large flock of sheep belonging to an English syndicate. During the whole night he faced the fury of the storm, striving vainly to bring the sheep into the fold. Toward morning he came back to his tent and wrote a note to his employers, stating that he was almost exhausted, but would make one more effort to save the flock, as it was his duty to do. The next day he was found half-buried in the snow, dead. One of his dogs lay beside him, guarding the body; the other had perished with the sheep. A cattle raiser on the Gulf of Mexico tells a similar story of an Acadian herder whom he employed. “Joe” was on guard one night when the herd, cobsisllng of several thousands of cattle, took fright at some unusual sound, and stampeded toward a beyou opening into the gulf. It was low tide and the ba you was narrow, but Joe knew that if the herd once entered It they would trample each other to death. He was a large, powerfully built man. Running before them, he flung himself into the ditch and faced them, discharging his pistol lrf their faces. The water reached his knees; the terri fied beasts, urged by the furious herd be hind pressed on him. Again and again he fell, and struggled up to renew the des perate fight. At any moment he might have reached the shore and saved himself. After two hours help came. The herd was driven back, but Joe was carried home to die. Scarcely a week passes which does not offer its record of some fai#,ful servant — an engineer, a ship's captain or even a common sailor—who gives his life to ful fill the duty which he has been paid to perform; to keep his word in the face of death. in our applause for the soldier who dies for his country or his home, let us not overlook these other heroes who are as faithful and brave as he. Fan at the Photographer*. "Many ludicrous developments happen in the studio of a country photographer, aside from what the chemicals bring out In the darkroom,” said a man who has photographed rustics for many years, ac cording to Lippincott's. "I recollect one Fourth of July that a young farmer and his sweetheart came to me to have some tintypes taken together. I had posed them on a'flight of stairs with a balustrade be tween them. When I came from my dark room after developing the plate, the young fellow stepped up to me and said: Sa-a-y, couldn't ye take that over again?' " 'Why, what's the matter?’ I asked In surprise. " 'We ain’t goin' to like that picture a bit,” he answered evasively. " 'But why not?' I persisted. ‘Wall,’ he blurted out, blushing to the roots of his hair, 'she’s too danger! fur off.’ He refused to pay 50 cents for a new silting, and at last they bore away the tintypes as .hey were. But the next day he came back to my gallery, very wrathful. ‘Sa-ay,’ he fairly shouted when he saw me, 'take that durned girl off this picture. I'm mad with her!' "Often, when I hide my head under the cloth to get rhe focus, loving couples, confident that I cannot possibly see them, take advantage of the moment to kiss each other fervidly, but with great silence. I remember, too, coming out of my dark room one time to find a rustic with one of my bottles poring a thick dark liquid into the hollow of h's hand. 'I guess you don't mind if I use a little of your hair He,’ he said, and promptly rubbed the stuff into his hair. It was a varnish for negatives, made to dry and harden very rapidly, and before I could get that pic ture taken, hurrying feverishly, he had to go Out and get hi* head shaved. It Is hard to believe how green' people can really be In this age and generation un til a man drives a tintype studio on wheels through the rural districts of our fair land." Webster'* Unlucky Drive. One of Daniel Webster's favorite stories of his early life had to do with a journey from Sallfbury, his home, to Lebanon, N. H., says the Youth's Companion. He went with a neighbor lu an old-fashioned, square-boxed pung-sleigh, which contain ed several barrels of cider, to be sold by the owner at Lebanon, It was a cold, frosty morning, and the start was made before sunrise. Daniel wore anew suit of clothes and mittens, spun, woven, dyed, and made by his mother's hands. In the course of the morning they reach ed a stream where the bridge had been carried away by a recent flood, and was lodged Just below the road. It was evi dent that the stream must be crossed by fording. The neighbor, with a look at Daniel, said: "You've got tight boot# on; suppose you take the reins and drive.” Daniel did as he was bid, while his com panion Jumped out to walk across the broken bridge. "I drove cautiously," said Mr. Webster, "expecting a safe passage, when suddenly the pung sank, and I found myself up to the armpits In the icy water. The horse plunged forward and reached the opposite bank, and almost as quick as I am telling It my clothes became a solid cake of ice. "There was no house near, and I was In danger of freezing to death soon unless I was relieved. I Jumped out of the sleigh and told the man to drive as fast as he could. I took hold of the back of the pung, and away we went. I often came near falling, but managed to hold on. and so by the rapid motion kept my blood In circulation till we reached a house. "I went In and asked the %dy of the house If she would let me dry my clothes. She put me Into a room where there was a bed and hung my clothes by the fire. It was then apparent that the contents of my mother's dye pot were on my body as twell as on my domes."

Con sul of the United States at Birmingham, a fetv of the main thoroughfares of Lon don will soon be lighted by electricity, some poles having already been put into position, the success of the Piccadilly lighting having warranted an extension. Birmingham is still lighted by gas, but the small electric-lighting company in that city was taken under the municipal wing on Jan. 1, and it is thought some thing may be done there. Cork is one of the smallest towns with electric ser vice, and it is claimed that it is as cheap there as in any city. The cost is nine cents per unit for the first two hours of use each day, and two cents per hour thereafter. A unit means the burning of seventeen ordinary incandescent lights one hour. —lt I* a singular fact remarked upon by the Inhabitants of newspaper office® that the cockroaches, once so numerous in such places, have almost disappeared. Time was when the little brown pests fairly overran the homes of the press, Not only did they exist by thousands in the composing room, but they also got down into the editorial quarters. Observ ing printers say that the disappearance of the cockroach began with the introduc tion of typesetting machines. This is be lieved to be true, for in the big city offices they have become scarcer and scarcer ever since abottt 1888. Now one Is seldom seen there. Whether the Insect disap proved of the new invention or whether there was something on the moveable type which gave him sustenance Is not known, but he is done, and there are few to re gret his departure. —The Roentgen Society of the United States will meet in New York Dec. 13 and 14, 1(00. at the Academy of Medicine.

A tribunal In Paris has Just decided the suit of Mme. Letestu, a former nun. against the Sisters of Notre Dame, where she was a teacher. She asked to be allowed to leave the con vent. While going to the Archbishop at his request to tell why she was leaving she fell from a street car and dislocated her shoulder. She was taken back to the convent and treated. As. however, she had not been definitely admitted to the order, the community decided she had no right to continue her functions. She, therefore, had to leave the convent. As, however, In spite of the request she had made to the Archbishop to leave, she now desires to remain in the convent, she sued the Mother Superior as responsible for the accident which happened to her and for breach of contract. —ln one of the Western cities a large tree was so Injured by a recent storm that It was decided to cut it dorvn, and ns it was too large to "use a cross-cut saw work men were about to go at it with nn ax. a most laborious process under the cir cumstances.

The feeder was cut out of the regular circuit, and a small dynamo attached, with a series of signals arranged between the men at work on the tree and the dynamo tender. The wire was then wound around the tree and the dynamo started. In few minutes the wire began to get hot, and then the men Iregan moving it back and forth around the tree, so that In an hour the cut was eighteen inches deep.
