"Music hath charms to . . soften a

Quarantine regulations , approved by

310 foreigubom mosquitoes shall be ad-

-si novel and universally acceptable
law restricting immigration. All ships

l e so thoroughly fumigated as to kill
every mosquito , and if there are any
passengers on board suffering from
vcllow or malarial fever , they must be
covered with netting so that no inos-
quitoes may have access to them. The
regulations restricting tbe immigration
of mosquitoes , could be supplemented
3jy equally stringent rules for tbe de-

tbe organization of a football team
lias drawn many boys to Sabbath
school , thus supplanting in its bene-
Jicient influence the Christmas tree and
the annual Sundayscbool picnic. For
these functions are good for one Sab-
l > ath only , while the football allure
ment holds for a long and blessed sea
son. A New York minister sroiml
ji large attendance at Sunday schuol by
getting up boxing exhibitions and am
ateur prize lights , but the football i i' a.
while more perilous , appeals to u high
er public sentiment. If a soul can
be saved by kicking its way into tbe
paths of grace , who so narrow and
bigoted as to protest ? If boys scram it

to get into the rash line of salvation ,
-who shall restrain them ? All bail foot

Anvntlon was called in these
columns some days ago , says tbe
Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican , to tbq
letter of a Vermont farmer setting
f rth bis entire inability to get hired
belp. He bad been driven Into
a position where be must work himt
self to death , so to speak , or give up
his farm , and similar cases In New
England are doubtless to be counted
by thousands. Western farmers are
making louder complaints than evcx
for this cause. Ordinarily , In the re
gion tributary to Chicago , a farm hand
Is paid from ? 15 to $18 a month , witlj
board and lodging. This year $25 Is
being offered , with extra inducements
as to hours and privileges , but the de
sired help Is not forthcoming in any
thing like the needed quantity. Some
thing more than the unattractlveness
of farm life at the moment enters Into
the problem. The demand for labor
In manufacturing and transportation
is now at a higher point probably than
at any previous time during the pres
ent period of industrial revival. Pro
duction is taxed to itg utmost. The
great railroad companies of tbe coun
try are planning extraordinary expen
ditures for Improvements which will
call for a large amount of extra labor ,
while the congestion of traffic is such
as to force Into employment every
available band for which room can
be found. Labor in manufacturing
and railroading is demanding higher
wages or shorter hours with excep
tional confidence that its place cannot
be filled and tbat it has but to strike
to bring employers to terms.Nor is
this all tbat tbe farmer has to contend
against In tbe west there has been
going on a speculation in farm lands
and the opening of new tracts to set
tlement which has caused an ernigra *
tion of regular farm belp , tenants and
sons of farmers from tbe older to the
newer agricultural regions. Tbe railroads -
roads have been active in forwarding
the movement , extending it soutlnvard
toward New Orleans and northward
through the Dakotas into Canada offering -
fering lands on favorable terms and
transportation thereto , moving whole
villages of people , with their house
hold goods and farm implements , as
colonies in newly-settled sections. The
speculative spirit of the period is thus
not confined to stocks and trust com
binations and street railway exten
sions , but as usual at such times seizes
upon even the agricultural classes and
hurries off large nuuibersN from estab
lished positions into pioneer land en
terprises elsewhere. It is a time of
extraordinary industrial activity and
employment even for the boom period.
Labor has been taken up into the boil
ing solution , as money has been taken
up and floating capital , and the labor-
market is as tight as the money mar
ket in the more attractive lines of
employment , which do not include the
farm. So the farmer must suffer most
from the situation.
WILD MAN OF BORNEO.

How Barnuni Got the Idea of One 01
His Famous Freaks.
Jonquiu Miller , the California poet
and naturalist , was an intimate friend
of P. T. Barnum. They met abroad.
many years ago and kept in touch un
til the great showman died. Many
are the stories which the old poet likeJ
to tell of his friend , "the great Ameri
can humbug , " and one of them is the
true story of the greatest humbug
which Barnum ever perpetrated thj
Wild Man of Boreno.
"It came about through Mr. Bar-
num's love for temperance and his ; '
great kindness of heart , " said the poet ,
in telling the story to n New York
Tribune writer. "An old sailor who
had been everywhere and seen every ?
thing cume to Barnum one afternoon
in Bridgeport , Conn. , and asked him ute
to buy some things which he had earv *
cd from wood on his last voyage across
the Pacific. He was ragged , hairy ,
hungry and altogether terrible

imen.
" 'Where have you been ? " asked the
showman.
" 'Been to Borneo , ' answered the old
sailor.
" 'Well , you look it ! Come in and
sit down. We are just going to have
supper. '
"The sailor iMd come in , and after
the meal begged Barnum to lock him
up in a cage , a cage with iron bars ,
that he might refrain from drinking ]
Thus was the 'Wild Man of Borneo'
conceived , and every one who attended
a Barnum show remembers what an
object of Interest he was to the sinaU
boys. "

9 o'clock this morning Death. was5
due to illuminating gas , which escaped - '
caped from the open cock of a small
gas stove in an adjoining apartment.
Life evidently had been extinct

ing ofllce , and Robert VV. Patrick , a
cousin , who bad called on a business
errand.
Berlin was seated In his arm chair
at his desk , where he had written
two letters. His pen was held firmly
in his hand and his chin rested on
his breast. The attitude was one of
Ease , as though he had fallen asleep.
[ The body was cold and stiff and the
physicians say death had come at
least from eight to ten hours pre
vious.
There is no evidence to show that
the cause of Mr. Berlin's death was
DCher than accidental. His finan
cial affairs were in good condition ,
while his personal and family con
nections were all of a happy charac
ter. All the windows were closed ,
lave the door from tbe small room
containing a aas stove. Not the
Mightst sign could be found that he
ivas tired of life. lie had planned to
'eave ' for Colorado yesterday after
noon to transact some business cou-
jected witn the sale of a gold mine ,

long.
The Inst seen of Berlin alive was
lust ' before noon Sunday , when he
stepped iuto the the office of Dr.
Fester to telfipbonc Mr. Patrick tbat
be would be out for dinner. So far
is known he b .d no visitors after
returning to the office. Jle had re
moved his hat , coat and vast , but '
'c
itberwise was fully dressed. If
there had been wafr in the vessel s
bn the gas stove it must have evap- |
brted tefore the tl.ime was blown

In the real ( -state business and was
president of the herlin company ,

TO CRUSH THE JEW
POLICY OF RUSSIA MAKES LIFE UNBEAR
ABLE
AMERICA HIS ONIYREFUGE
MADE FOOTBALL OF OLD WORLD FANAT
ICISM
HAVE RIGHT TO PROTEST
Sport of tbe Rabble and the Buffer Against
Which Strikes the Wrath of Savagery
and Intolerance
Atlanta City N. J. , July 13 John
B. Weber of Buffalo , ] ST. Y. , late
commissoner of immigration at tbe
port of New York , and chairman of
the special commission authorised by
congress in 3888 to investigate In
Europe the causes inciting immigra
tion to this country , was a speaker
today belore the Jewish Chautauqua
on the su'rject op "The Status of the
Jews in Russia. "
In his address Mr. Weber charged
the Russian restrictive laws as being
resp nsible for the misery and perse
cution of which people read and hear.
He stated that there would oe no
peace , no substantial relief for the
sufferers until the tota disappearance
from Russia of either the Jew or the
special laws direct against him.
Taking up the laws regarding the
right of residence which the speaker
characterized as especially hard and
oppressive , he briefly sketchei the
history of the official decrees regula
ting the area within which tbe Jews
were permitted to live during the
past forty years.
Summing up tbe status of the Jew
in Russia , Mr. Weber said :
"Today he is an alien in the land
of his birth , a subject who beers an
undue share of the burdens of good
government without the privileges of
its meanest citizens Fettered in
his movements , handicapped in his
vocation , restricted in his education
al opportunities , he is unable to pro
tect him self and powerless to sue-
, cessfully invoke the protection of the
lautborities , a slave without ; tbe self-
fin terest of a master to shield him
from abuse he stands helpless
'against brute force egged on nnt only
aeligious intolerance , but by contend
ing forces that strive to strengthen
the government on the one hand and
to destroy it on the- other , the irre
pressible conflict between govern
ment by autocracy and goyernrnent
by tbe people. The Jew is therefore
the sport of the rabble the spoil of
tbe official , the footlall of fanati-
| cisrn , the buffer against which strikes
fthe wrath of bigotry , intolerance ,
and savagery. "
Mr. Weber asserted strongly1 tbe
moral obligation and the legal right
of the United States to protest to ,
the Russian government against its
treatment of Jews and said :
' We cannot look with unconcern ,
upon the arrival of the thousauds of
hunted , terror stricken human be-1
Jngs who come to us crushed in spirit
and impoverished in substance , to
enter into competition with our re
spected and self-respecting labor.
Neither is It an answer to say that
we have tbe remedy in or.r own
hands b ? closing our ports against
these people. This would violate nur
very instinct of humanity , and would
war against the policv which has
made this country great and prosper
ous , and which will continue to add
to our progress and prosperity , if Im
migration is confined to normal
causes alone. "
Refering to a hope that a consider
able part of this stream from Russia
may be directed to otuer lands , Mr. .
Weber quoted the statement of an
emigrant at Kovuo :
"I am going to America , for Jn
that direction lies hope Here I have
only fears to comfort me The hope ,
may prove delusive , but tbe fears are
a certainty. My great ambition is
to breafhe at least once the free air' '
with whicri God has blessed the'
American people.M j
"These " said the "
, speaker , "are
tbe words of an uncultured Jew , and
these are the sentiments in the heart
of every Jew in Russia. ' *
Mr. Weber called attention to those
of tbe Jewish faith of the grave re-
sp < < nsibilities falling upon them due
to the persecutions of their co-rellg-
ionists , in receiving tbe thousands
wbo flee from their oppressors in
Raiding to establish them in work and
'business so that they will become
self-sustaining ; in distributing them ,
so they will not by congestion be
come a menace.

Grape-Nuts ; a cup ,

and two boiled eggs. I never suffer the ,
least distress after eating this and my
stomach is perfect and general health. *
