After-boring to at unusdsl depth, a xe y exhaustless supply of reviarkably cold and itifully clear Iithia water was struck, spouting up with tremendous force. This, it will be noti-ed, is the same way in which the famous ‘aters were discovered. Mr. Collins, in his neighborly fashion, wished to help themselves to as much of the water as they wanted. As time went on, however, the wads of people with their jugs and pitchers, their pttles and demijohns, kept Increasing to. such an extent as to seriously loterfere with the performn- ance of Mr. Collins’ business.

There will be no.more appointments for Kentucky until after the election, unless it is that of Dr. Hunter as minister to Guatemala. Henry W. Brendel, appointed collector at Buffalo, was indorsed by the regular re- publicans, including Senator Platt. Mr. Brendel is county chairman of Erie. He is a practicing lawyer. Increase of Callers. The number of callers at the White House incr2ased today, the fact that the President recently gave audience to all call- ers having encouraged increased attend- ance, and a revival of hope that unofficial visitors would at last be able to accomplish something without the aid of congressmen. ‘The President was busy with Assistant Secretary Day, however, and did not see the mass of visitors. Senator McLaurin of South Carolina had a pleasant interview with the President. Senator Proctor of Vermont was a White House visitor. He is always welcome at the Executive Mansion. The senator, who is a member of the Senate District com- mittee, was asked his opinion of the pro- posed change in the motive power of the “It would be a most excellent thing to have the underground system used,” said the senator. “So far the system has proven a great success. I have noticed, in traveling in the city, that people go out of their way to take the cars of this system in preference to any other.” A North Carolina Office. Representative White of North Carolina, accompanied by ex-District Attorney Cook of Warrenton, N. C., was at the White House.

The President is now arranging a pro- gram fer his trip to Ohio to vote on elec- tion day. As stated, he has been invited to attend the opening of the Carnegie library in Pittsburg on Founder's day. He will probably accept the invitation if the time is fixed for immediately after the election. The officials of the Cincinnati Commerical Club are insisting that the President at- tend their annual dinner, which is on Sat- urday night befcre the election. The Presi- dent has not decided what he will do, but will probably accept. The officials are re- minding him that a year ago ne expressed an intention of being with them. If this invitation is accepted the President will leave here on Friday before election day, go to Cincinnati, make a speech before the Commercial Club and proceed to Canton in time to vote on the following Tuesday. Then he will return and stop at Pittsburg. He does not care to be absent from his duties any ionger than he can help. Senator and Mrs. Thurston dined with the President last night.

Commissioner Wight Makes Recom- mendation fer Public Safety. Following his reeommendations as to grade crossings in the District of Colum- bia, and the proper way to guard the same, Commissioner Wig togay made the fol- lcwing recommendatiohs as to a change in the law: “Amend section 31, article 10 of the Po- lice Regulations by striking out the first Paragraph thereof and inserting the fol- lowing: “Section 31. That it shall be the duty of each railroad company owning or operating a railroad with locomotives and steam rail- Way cars, océupying any road, street, avenue or public way within the District of Columbia, to erect, maintain and cause to be operated, at its own expense, safety gates across -every “such road, street, avenue or public way as may be designated by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and to provide such protection at other railroad crossings as. said Com- miesioners may prescribe. “That each of said gates shall be ,in cherge of a.competent person, employed by such railroad company,: who, during the hours Gesignated by the Commissioners, shall keep such gates closed while any locomotive or steam .railroad car or cars are occupying or crossing such road, street, avenue ur public way, at which such gates are erected.” : ee ees The Hawalians' Real Danger. From the San Francisco. Chronicle. The real danger to the Hawatiians is not from annexation, but ‘from its defeat. This comes about because, under “independence,” the Asiatics would continue to enter the is- lands, and as they are a superior race of limitless numbers they would crowd the Kanakas to the wall. In fact they have already begun to. Who raise the taro now? The Chinese. Who catch the fish? The Chinese. Who cultivate the bananas? The Chinese. Who till. the cane fields and pick the coffee bean? The Japanese. Who keep the stores and do the small trading? ‘The Chinese and Japanese combined. These two races also do the housework of the whites. In 2 few years more under “inde- pendence,” especially with a native monarchy in power, Hawall would be so overrun with Asiatics that the Kanaka would become a beggar in his own land— what the hairy Ainu became in Japan after the little brown man had seized his patri- mony. There is but one way to escape this yellow plague and it is to supersede Ha- waiian laws and treaties with the laws and treaties of the United States. Once an- nexation comes the influx of As!atics must stop, and, what is more, the contract labo: ers, when their time is up, will have to leave the islands and return home, not to be replaced from foreign sources. ‘Instead of vast plantations there will be co-opera- tive cane farms at which the Kanaka, if ne wants work, will be able to find it.’ Is not that, with all which is implied of pro- tection, justice and prosperity, a more de- sirable status for Hawalians than anything which this m:scalled “independence” could offer him? To give the natives what they ask is to do the same injustice to them that would be done to children hy granting their de- sire for something’ that would do them harm. As inhabitants jand perhaps citi- zens of a territorg:ofithe United States the Hawaiians would possess the same liberty that other pie enjoy, and in the long run would ‘hi cause to cele- brate the day of ,}heir, admission to the body politic of this great power as that of thetr escape from a submergence and their arrival on safe grouhd. *!! —_—+e-,___ The Progress of Whixt, Frem the Knnsas City Star. It is not generally known by the de- votees of whist thatithere was a time when it was not considered a tit diversion for re- spectable people. Whist is now regarded as essentially the inteliéctual, if not the aristocratic game of cards. Before the ad- vent of Hoyle it was differently estimated. To employ the language of an authority of that period it was “‘a-Verle alehouse game,” Played exclusively in the servants’ hall and the stable and was the special delight of the gamblers and tricksters. To quote again, it was a game in which “your cun- ning gamester” indulged and in the play of which “he was always studying new inven- tion to deceive the ignorant.” Its first step into the countenance of the better class was its admission to the parlors of the country squires in England, who “played whisk, smoked tobacco and drank fat ale.” But for a long time after this period it was regarded as vulgar by the quality and until the end of the first quarter of the eigh- teenth century was excluded from all favor by the upper crust. About 1728 some gentlemen habitues of the Crown coffee house, Bedford row, London, began the scientific study of the game, and in 1742, when Hoyle’s publication appeared, whist became a sort of craze and such games as quadrille, ombre, piquet and bas- set, then in high popular favor, were ob- scured by this new star in the card firma- ment. Schools were established for teach- ing the game and Hoyle himself offered to give private instructions to members of the nobility at $5 a lesson. Lord Slum wrote to a friend about this time: “I have joined twelve companies in the Mall, and cleven of them were talking of it,” and Hoyle re- marked, “at this Instant a dozen dukes and as many lords and ladies are waiting for me. Between you and me, they are all under tutilage at St. James.” In 1743 Hor- ace Walpole, Earl of Oxford, in a letter to Sir Horace Mann, wrote that whist had stretched its wand over him and added: “I am trying to set up the noble game of bilbo-quet over it.” But neither condemna- tion nor ridicule would serve to dislodge it from its place in popular favor. Early in the beginning of the nineteenth century the rage for card playing which had marked the previous period diminished, and in 1837 a scandal growing out of a game of whist at Graham's Club turned public sentiment against that form of card playing, and the books on it were con- demned as the “devil's bodks.” But be- tween 1860 and 1865 it was revived in Eng- land and soon after became the fad in this country, where it became known as the di- version of the brainy people. In 1871 the first whist league in this country was form- ed in Milwaukee and now there are clubs in nearly every town and all the cities, and @ congress which is made up of represen- tatives of all of them,-and meets annually at one place or another. At these meet- ings tournaments fre held and prizes are awarded. —__+- e+ —____ Commissioner Ross Returns.

BIG LOSS’ TO<GOVERNMENT Did Not Become Effective Until Presi- dent Signed It—Must Refund Large Sum. Unless the courts reverse the board of general appraisers, importers whose goods were entered at customs house on Satur- day, July 24, before the signing of the tariff act, will be able to collect from the government the extra duties—amounting to, perhaps, $300,000—they were compelled to pay as a result of the government's claim that the tariff was retroactive, and that it took effect on the earliest possible moment of the day on which it was signed. The board yesterday sustained the pro- tests of the importers against the positien taken by the government, and instructed collectors of customs to reliquidate the entries accordingly. The opinion of the board was written by General Appraiser Somerville, formeriy as- sociate justice of the supreme court of Alabama. The specific case on which the decision was based was an importation of wool by Stoddard, Haserick, Richards & Co. of Boston. The wool was entered for consumption during the forenoon of July 24, and permits of delivery from the col- lector and naval officer were at once placed in the hands of the importers stampei “Free,” under the provisions of paragraph 685 of the tariff act of 18M, which placed in the free list all imported wool. The entries were afterwari liquidated by the collector, s0 as to classify and zssess the wool for duty under paragrap! eched- ule K, of the tarif act of July 24, 189 which levied a duty of 11 ceats per pound on imporied wool of class 1. Judge Somerville, after weighing the ar- gumcats of the importers and of the gov- ernment, reaches the following conclusion: 1. That the tariff act of July 24, 1897, ai not become operative as law until six p.m. of said day, when it was approved by the President. *2. That it was not operative by reiation on any previvus hour of the day, but that the tariff act of August s d unrepealed and in force until the pp) moment when said act of July 21, was appreved. That goods imported and entered for consumption in the forenoon of said July 24, 1897 (or at any hour prior io the time of approval of said act), would be governed as to classification and rates of duty by the tariff act of 1894 and not by said act of 1897. Government Will Appeal. The decision of the general board of ap- praisers in New York yesterlay that the Dingley tariff act was not retroactive and did not go irto effect until the President had signed it will not alter the decision of Secretary Gage that it was retroactive un- til the courts have sustained the decision cf the board. At the Treasury Department today Gen- eral Spaulding, acting secretary, says that the Treasury Department will maintain its sition and will appeal to the courts. e decision of the board of appraisers, he id, was the preliminary to a final decision by the courts. Secretary Gage will return to the city and to his desk Monday. It is, of course, expected that he will direct what is to be done. Bs Th ——_+ e+ _____ The South for Farmers. From the New Orleans Picayune. As to the rich lands of the southern states, they will not be filled up with young men from the cities, but by farmers from the old states, or from those retreat- ing from the harsh and severe climate of the northwest. Those are the people who have for several years been coming into Leuisiana. They are escaping from the wind-swept plains of several of the north- western states, and are realizing that it is just as easy to grow rice, cotton and sweet potatoes in the gulf states as it w to make wheat and rye in the states a couple of thousand miles north, while the se and comfort of living in the south are of themselves sufficient inducements to tract emigrants frcm a region where th are engaged every year in many months of struggle with the rude forces of winter. There is going to be a steady flow of pop- ulation to the rich lands of the south, but it will not be made up of young men from the cities. They will live on their friends, or by their wits, and loaf on street corners and undergo many more hardshi; they will not work on farms. The a: tural country of the northwest is | iv occupied by farmers from Germany, Den- mark, Norway and Sweden, and other t 11 a ef » % . “ @@ee0800000; 2890900 5 © , roy Cas * ‘ 7° oO” ms 8 Fit-CXCe 8 ° The Philadelphia Store.
