Cheap Flour and Dear Bread.
That purchasers would have to pay
as much for bread with. bakers’ flour
selling at wholesale at from $2.50 to
$3.50 per barrel, as when it sold for
twice as much, would have, seemed in-
credible in the days When the higher
prices for flour prevailed, and the fact
that it is so is awakening a full chorus
of protests in about every city in the
' land. The old method of baking bread
at home has gone out of fashion in
many households, while among the
poor who live in tenements, the facili-
ties for baking are lacking. Owing to
these and other causes, the bakers have
had things pretty much their own way.
But a change is now demanded ands
if not conceded, new bakers threaten
to largely enter the field in» New York
and elsewhere and cut ruling prices,
provided old dealers do not at once put
an end to the high priced bread monop«
oly. Many too, are returning to the
old time fashion of baking their own
“home-made” bread. Good weights and
fair prices, shOuld rule in bread as in
all else and We are glad to know that
no serious complaints are made against
our own city bakers. '
The Loan Stimulates Business.
11: seems to be accepted in trade cir-
cles, that the new issue of the fifty
million of United States Bonds was the
most important financial step our gov-
ernment could have taken in aid of re,
turning prosperity.
It is estimated that this.$50,000,000 of
five per cent. bonds will yield not less
than $58,000,000 in gold, thus making
the annual interest less than three per
cent. They will be quickly and eagerly
taken, for the banks have new large
reserves of‘gold in excess of their oivn
requirements, from which they are
deriving no benefit, and which they
will gladly transfer to the United States
Treasury, wherelit is needed for the
common security,"receiving in return
for it bonds that can be readily dis-
posed of or employed as the basis of
fresh operations.
The"‘iiew loan will thus not only
Strengthen. the Treasury, but will im-
part. a healthy stimulus to‘ trade. _ The
announcement has already had its effect
in stifi'eningzthe prices of all sound se-
curities.
The Virtues of Dlnhtherine. '_
The length of time required for the
preparation of diphtherine, or the
serum which has been used so success
fully in Germany for the treatment of
diphtheria, coupled with the sudden
demand which has sprung up for it from
all directions, necessarilly creates a
scarcity of the new remedy and inter-
feres more or less with its systematic
and satisfactory application, especially
in the United States.
Of five patients, however, treated at
the Municipal hospital, Philadelphia,
by Dr. Welch, all of them children,
three are out of danger. one failed to
rally, and the condition of another,
whose case had reached an advanced
stage before the diphtherine was ad-
ministered, was at last accounts con-
sidered exceedingly unpromising.
In the meantime the supply of serum
which was small at the outset, is nearly
exhausted, and it is doubtful if it can
be replenished even onacable order
to Berlin, as Prof. Baring’s stock is
also supposed to be limited. .
There can be no further question as
to the eflicacy of diphtherinc in mitiga-
ting the severity of one of the most
dreaded of all diseases, and diminish—
ing its fatality. Not that it is a panacea,
but that it is accomplishing results
which will unquestianably lead to its
general adoption in time and entitle its
discovery to a place among the great-
est benefactions of the century.
One of the most conclusive argu-
ments as to the value of this treatment
which has yet appeared is found in the
report of Dr. DeKay, our consul gen-
eral at Berlin, who states that in the
hospitals of that city, where the death
rate of children under four years of
age, afflicted with diphtheria, had gone
down to 11 per cent, so-long as, the '
serum was available in sufficient quan-
tities, it rose rapidly to 60 per cent,
when the stock became exhausted.
With these and other evidences of
the usefulness of the new remedy, it
will not belong before establishments
for the production of serum will be
multiplied both in this country and
abroad, and ultimately 'no greater-
scarcity be experienced of the bene-
ficent blood of the inoculated. horse
than there is at present of the vaccine
virus.

WOMAN’S AGE OF RULsgg
A Young Lady ,of' Observation Declares
that Captivation funds with Youth.
“Somewomen fatigue me greatly,” said
a young lady of observation to the rec
porter, crumpling up'a paper in one hand
and reaching for a’ cigarette with the
other. “Now here’s [one of them has been
writing a. lot of inuld-be sentimental
stuff to the Bizarre, saying that women
have two stages of captivation; the first
that of physical charm, and the second
that of experience, and that the second
state is better than the first. Is it? \Vell,
all I have to say isfthat I’m not in the
least anxious to run for that sort of con-
solation stakes yet awhile. Just write it
down, if you please, that youth is the
period of power. I don’t mean bread-and
butter youth, but the youth of physical
charm, just as the Writer says, ‘when the
bloom is on the cheek and the sparkle in
the eye, when the ash is firm and full,
the teeth brilliant, the hair shining, the
step light, and the shape lithe’—the years
from twenty to thirty-five."
Stealing TlieuDevil’s Tunes.
"Why should the-devil have all the
best times?” exclaimed the famous Row-
land Hill. The Salvation Army believes
that he should not; .so they have stolen
nearly all of his satanic majesty’s most
familiar melodies and set them to salva-
tion words. For so doing they are time
and again severely criticised. But why
this criticism? DO the fault-finders for-
get that some of the . standard—in fact,
most sacred tunes of the church to-day
are of peculiar origin? For example, Mr.
Jerome Hopkins, the American composer,
gives an instance which is not generally
known, viz., thatthe famous and beauti-
ful tune “Coronation,” to which we sing,
“All hail the power of Jesus’ name,” was
an old English pot-house song, the words
of which were: .
Oh. come. my jolly, hearty boys,
And drink as drink you can;
’Tis on the floor we soon shall roll
With whiskey, every. man.
Making Progress.
One night, after three hours of strug-
gle on his part, and much delicate encour-
agement on the part of the girl, he had
seized her hand convulsively, dropped on
his knees impetuously, and was about
onefifth through an impassioned appeal
to her to be his’n, when the mother’s
voice sounded clear on the night from the
head of the stairs.
The youth stopped short. but held on.
“Mary,” came the maternal voice queru—
lously, “is that young, man there yet?”
“Not yet, mother,” replied Mary, smil-
ing sweetly down on the face of her
Romeo, “but he’s getting there.”
And two weeks later the cards were out.

Our Churches and Jails.»
Comparisons are sometimes odious. But
there is more truth than poetry in the fol-
lowing facts, which are taken from a good
authority. We have 'spent nearly 8470;
000,000 in building churches in this land,
and $500,000,000 in building jails. It costs
850,000,000 a‘ycar to run the churches and
$400,000,000 to run the jails. The interest.
money on our jails amounts to ‘two‘and
one—half times as much per year as the
whole church raises for home and foreign
missions. We pay out eight times as
much for running our fellow men down
and jailing them as we do in trying to
make them better so that they will not
need jail.

PRINCE KUNG Is IN Gainer.
He Really Balloontrol'of thew-Var Now,
and Li Hung Chang Appears to Have '
Been Shaved—The Chinese Apol-
ogize to Great Britain.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15,—The New York
Herald has the following exclusive dis-
patch, Whlch was sent to its European
edition; " ' :2,
SHANGHAi; Nov. 14.—_—Slx ships of the
Pei-Yang Squadron have left Taku with
lns’tructionsto attack the J cpanese.
Prince Kung has assumed the supreme '
direction of military operations. Prince
Chlng, the president of the Tsung—ll—Ya-
men, is second in command.
The foreign ministers in Peking will
have an audience on Thursday With the
emperor inside the palace.
Viceroy Li Hung Chang, in speaking
to a visitor lately, expressed his readiness
-to meet Field Marshal Count Yamagata,
the Japanese commander in chief, in or-
der to open pour parlers with him.
The announcement that Prince Kung
has beeninvested with the supreme direc-
tion of the military operations against
Japan marks another step in an important
transformation which the war has brought
about in exalted administrative circles
in China. For some time past the Peking
government has been assuming that com-
plete initiative in national affairs which
formerly was exercised at Tlen-tsln by
the vlceroy, Ll Hung Chang.
When Prince Kung, whose proper title
is Kung-tsln-wang, or the Reverend Kin-
dred Prince. was brought back from re-
tirement and disgraced a; short time ago,
he was appointed ccdirector with Li
Hung Chang of the war arrangements.
But this was only the thin edge of the
wedge. It was evidently the emperor’s
intention to rid himself of Li Hung
Chang’s autocratic administratlon, and
by the appointment just conferred upon
Prince Kung, the vlceroy, so far as the
control of, the war is concerned, is com-
pletely and definitely shelved.
.. (hina Weakens, of Course.
TIEN—TSIN, Nov. 15.—The officials of
the Chinese government this morning
made the apologies demanded by the
British government officials for the out-
rage‘commltted by Chinese soldiers on
board the British steamship Chung-King
in August last. The Chung-King was
saluted by the guns of the Taku forts,
and the required-apology was made to the
British minister. ’ ‘
On Nov. 6 last a dispatch from Shang-
hai announced that an ultimatum had
been sent to the vlceroy regarding the
Chung-King affair. It demanded that
"within seven days the Taotai Sheng be
dismissed and degraded; that the Chung-
King be saluted with 21 guns from the
Taku forts. and that a money indemnity
be paid to the owners'of the Chung-King.
If these demands were not complied with
withintbe specified time, the British of-
ficials threatened that the. flect'under the
command of Admiral Fremantle would
make reprisals. and it was believed that ,V ‘
steps had been taken to occupy the lm- ;
*portantrlsla'nd of Chusen, which com-
mands the line of communication by sea
between the northern and southern prov-
inces of China. The British occupied this
island in 1841 during the first war be-
tween China and England. Eventually
the Chinese government succeeded in re-
covering Chusen by glving up Hongkong
in exchange. . _
The Chung-King outrage has been va-
riously described. According to one story,
13 Japanese soldiers in August last were
forcibly removed by the Chlnese from the
steamship, and. it was added, as soon as
Viceroy Ll Hung Chang found it out he
apologized to the British consul and the
Japanese were returned.
The captain of the Chung-King, how-
ever. told a" different story when his ship
arrived at Shanghai. 110‘ said that while
the steamship was at Tungku, on the gulf
of Pechlll, Chinese soldiers went on beard,
found 60 Japanese, mostly women and
children. chased them all over the vessel,
bound them hand and foot as soon as
caught and flung them over on the wharf.
Ll Hung Chang, after the British consul
had protested, the captain added, com-
manded the Japanese to be returned and
ordered the Chinese soldiers who made
the raid to be severely punished.
Japan's Third Army.
, TOKYO, Oct. 30, via San Francisco,
Nov. 15.——A third army is now assem-
bling at Hiroshima. It will number 24,-
000 men, and its commander will be Lieu-
tenant General Takashiina. formerly
minister of state for war. ‘ The destination
of this army is, of course, kept secret, but
it will leave Japan as soon as the trans-
portsxthat carried the second army to the
Lian-Tong peninsula return to Hiroshima.
Japan will then have a tgtal force of 71,-
000 invading Chinese territory at three
places. '
Chinese Dlscontented.
‘_ TIEN-TSIN. Nov. 15.—-Li Hung Chang's
son has left Tlen-tsln, taking with him his
valuables. Colonel von Hanneken lately
submitted at the foreign board’s request a
scheme of military reorganization. The
emperor and the Mantchoo statesmen ap-
proved tbe scheme, but the strategein of
certain wealthy Taotals frustrated it.
There is much popular discontent over
'the im becllity of the government.

- - . ~ to Death, -I\1:.r:l~-red. - , f
__M_USKOGEEI:’IZ’ T“: Nov. _,15.,——A large
party of-Chcctawa'hare taken to the bush:
temporarily’;”arid at least hfnc outrage has
already beencommittcd by them. Craigp
the sheriff who in the discharge of his
duty Shot‘ Silan Lewis to death in Pon‘ola
week before last; has been killed. Par-_
tlculars of hOw-lie came to hls‘dcath are ,
very meager. He was deubtless the vlcll
tim of a conspiracy, but whether he was
slain in open combat or assassinated is
not known. _
,The sheriff was fully aware when ‘he
killed Lewis that he Would stand at least
nine chances in ten of being himself put
out Of the way within a very short while.
Lcwls’ persistence in following out the”
order of the court illustrates the Choctaw
character perfectly. They are the most
stolen] and Wlthal the most manly~ of all
the Indian tribes. , _
Lewis himself was repeatedly released
on parole while under sentence of death,
and only a few days before the one ap-
pointed. for his execution he .vislted his
family and wound up his affairs. On- the
day of his death his friends, 400 strong.
came after him, but he would have none
'of it and insisted on dying, as he had been
condemned by his nation’s court.
He was a political criminal, a partisan
of one of the factions in the Jones-Locke
war fof eighteen months ago, and hop
:pened to be on the losing side of the con-
flict. With eight others he was con-
demned, but be secured a new trial. Be-
ing again sentenced, he was finally shot.
The bullet passed clear though his body,
but did not kill him at once, whereupon
the sheriff strangled him by holding his
nose and mouth closed. -
His death was the signal to arms, and
since then the clans have been gathering.
Rumors of a sort of guerrilla warfare have
been reaching the railroad towns for a
Week. but it is almost impossible to learn
anything definite. It was reported only
yesterday that the factions had agreed to
leave their difference to arbitration, and
now comes news of a conflict,
One story current here is that represent-‘
atlves of; the two forces did meet at the
Wilburton courthouse for the purpose of
patching up some sort of peace. but that
the negotiations were suddenly interrupt-
ed by a general row. Naturally the sherlfl
was the first to fall.
' Wilburton is the town that was be
selgcd by the Locke forces during the last
Choctaw war. It has been the scene of
many a bloody homicide. '
One difficulty about getting informa;
tion is the Indian trait of secretivenoss.‘
The full bloods especially never tell any:
thing, not even to each other.
likely an Indian, if he were to witness a
pitched battle, would tell his nearest
neighbor about it.
