TELL THE LEGISLATORS
The people of Skagway should make
it a point to imprest upon the visiting
senators and congressmen who will be
here in a week or ten days that Amer
ican merchants doing business in Skac
wiT are not getting as fair a deal from
Canada as Canadian merchants residing
at Dawson are getting from the United
States. They should be made to see
that while Dawson merchants do most
of the wholesale bus nesa with the
American camps down the Y ukon Skag
way merchants are shut out from the
Canadian markets of the upper Yukon.
Within the last two weeks hundreds
of tons of American goods hare been
taken from the bonded wherehouses of
Dawson and shipped to the American
side of the line for sale 'o retail deal
ers and consumers. This has been done
without a cent of duty having to oe
paid either country. The Canadian
merchants of Dawson have done a j rof
itable business in American territory
and added to the commercial import
ance and prestige of a Canadian city.
The merchants of Skagway have
asked time and again to secure the
right to carry Canadian goods in bend
at this place to be sold to Canadian con
sumers across the line without the pay
ment of duty as the Dawson merchants
carry American goods at their town,
but thus far they have asked in vain
The Canadian regulations construe Ca
nadian goods as foreign when the ship
ment of which they are a part has been
broken in a foreign country, and duty
has to be pa>d upon them as upon
foreign goods, before they can re-enter
Canada.
It might be argued that the privilege
Skagway merchants ask is one that
must eome from Canada and not the
United States. That is true, but it is
within the power of the United States
to force Canada to make this concession.
Our government could cut off the priv
ileges the Dawson merchants have or
it oould suspend the port of entry at
Skagwav until such time a* the Cana
dians would treat American merchants
as fairly as the United States treat
their merchants.

CAREFUL OF THE FIRE. ?
Ikt Stlao Hotel l\rf|?r> of Spala
and Sonthrrn Italy.
In the smaller hotels of southern
Italy and of Spain, writes Mr. Hart
In 'Two Argonaut* In Spain." the un
fortunate tourists slowly fn-eie. The
landlords display a touching solicit
ude about the store. On days when
Are la really needed to keep the guests
warra they sometimes spend half their
time trying to keep the servants from
putting too much fuel on the Are.
To prevent Americans and other
pyroiuanlacs from meddling with the
fuel they often keep the coal bin lock
?d. It is a touching spectacle to see a
group of Americans shivering ronnd a
little stove; to see the servant enter,
take out a key. uulock the coal bin.
put two or three spooufuls of coal In
the stove and then lock the bin sen In:
to see the gimlet eye of a Gtanada
landlord fastened on him from the of
flee; then to see the hapless Americana
sink back luto their oven-oat collars
and wish they were back home.
As an instance of the desperation to
which these cold hotels drive people 1
once tn a Levantine hotel saw an
elderly spinster seat herself In front
of the stove In the men's smoking
room, with her hair down, while an
elderly female friend gave her a dry
shampoo.
To the suggestion of the scandalized
servants that she should finish this
Intimate toilet operation In her own
room she replied briefly that she had
found the only warm place In the ho
tei ami proposed to flnlsh the shampoo
there, which she did.
DREADFUL POISONS.

'Th?> more dreadful poisons," said a
chemist. "are only known to a few
men. Mercury methide. for instance,
the Inhalation of whose fumes pro
duces Incurable Idiocy, can be manu
factured by two Italians ami by no
one else In the world.
"Dhatoora Is a poison used In India.
It too, produces incurable idiocy. A
British army officer told me of a sad
case? a case of two rival tailors, one
of whom gave the otheV a small (lose
of dhatoora. The victim of the drug
remained an Idiot all the rest of his
life. He sat and moved his empty
hands as though he were sewing, lie
was a formidable rival no longer.
"Metvaptan produces a melancholy
so great as to terminate nearly always
In salclde. No government would per
mit the manufacture and sale of this
poison.
"Dhatoora. mercury met hide, mer
captan and some twenty other poisons
1 are neither made nor sold In any pub
lic way. They are only experimented
with. Such poisons would be fonn Id
I able weapons In unscrupulous hands.
Driving their victims to suicide or to
Insanity. they leave behind them noth
ing suspicious or untoward. The giver
of these poisons Is secure from any
fear of punishment.

sons keep their knowledge to them
selves.? Chicago Chronicle.
