The Official Paper of the People,
Eastern office: It Tribune building. New York City. Chicago office:
lot Hartford building. W. H. Porterfleld. manager of -'o-nlgn advertising.
This little story from life Is going the rounds of the newspapers:
A pretty, dainty little girl at once of the summer resorts has been not
ably neglected by the men. The reason for it is that many of the young
men who frequent the resort are dry goods clerks and suit salesmen who
can tell at a glance what a gown Is worth. The dress worn by this hand
some girl—her best—is a "dotted Swiss," costing, perhaps, at a bargain sale.
It cents a yard. .And worst of all, as revealed to the eyes of the expert male
appraisers, the dress was evidently made by herself
The girl looks very sweet in her simple gown, but—
Tou see. these fellows are looking for the daughters of rich men And
their exjierienced eyes tell them this girl works for a living and must use
economy to get her vacation.
Well.
Tou need not pity the girl l>oeausc she is a wall dower. She has doubt
less sized up the rlerks and salesmen while they have been invoicing her
clothes. The girl who has the sens <to suit her wardrobe to"her purse cares
Very little for the fortune hunters who ignore her.
She knows there are others.
The average man who does not deal In the commodities knows very little
about clothes. In a general way lie knows whether a girl looks pretty when
She is dressed and that is all.
More than that.
Every real man who is looking for a wife will have a high opinion of the
dainty maiden who Is able to get herself up attractively on v very little
money.
So don't cry, little girl. If you can't afford expensive gowns.
Men—real men—don't want to marry clothes.
The Canadian Way
The way to "bust a trust"—in Canada—ls to bust It.
The Canadian government is going after the American tobacco trust In a
way that promises accomplishment.
The tobacco trust proceeds on the bold theory that the way to establish
• monopoly and make money is to kill competition. It has been quite suc
cessful in this country where we are all in favor of suppressing the "bad
trusts'' and none of us know how to do it.
In Canada it is different.
In order to do business there ttie trust Is compelled to pay a license.
This license is a sort of protective tariff. It is levied to protect the home
tobacco industry. As a matter of fart it does no such thing. It simply In
creases the price of tobacco to the consumer. The trust leaps lightly over
the license wall.
Now the Canadians propose to revoke Hie license and send the trust, hag
Snd baggage, out of the country The American company is doing business
there on sufferance and has no legal lights that may not be revoked.
The proposed method would be effective. It would be the end of all
Controversy.

QUAINT UNCLE JERRY
HAS PASSED AWAY

OBAMT'B TXXX.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—'I'ncle
Jerry" Smith, the "official duster" of
the White House, is dead. Appointed
by- President Grant when the soldier
president first came into the White
House, I'ncle Jerry had been con
stantly on duty until a few months
ago. His age, 75 years, then began
to tell, and from that time until his
death, last week, the "offlcialiduster''
had been resting. §
Before leaving for Oyster fogy the
president, accompanied by Gejrge B.
Cortelyou, chairman of the Jjrpubll
can national committee, vlsltea Uncle
Jerry at his home. The doctors say
that the effect of the president's visit
certainly prolonged the old mafi'p life.
I'ncle Jerry had a persopar ac
quaintance with every public' man of
the country, and was a favorue with
all. He was one of the sigh tat of the
White House to the thousandß i t>f vis
itors. His quaint manner antfTits !ex
treme politeness made hlmjE mpny
friends.
The "official duster" was above the
average in height. Arrayed in a huge
white apron and wltruhls smiling face
set off by a gray skull cap, he always
attracted attention.
Just before he retired Uncle Jerry
became famous by hoisting the flag
on the White House, with the union
down, a signal of distress. His eye
sight had failed and he did not re
alize his mistake. He was thereafter
relieved from the duty of hoisting
the flag and a regular army man was
given the detail.
Resides acting as flag raiser. Uncle
Jerry dusted the stairways and the
lobby of the executive mansion. No
successor will be appointed and with
Uncle Jerry the position of "official
duster" expires.
SPANISH WAR HERO
A BRIDEGROOM
MARRIAGE ZH SAH FRANCISCO
OF THE SOLD FEB WHO "CAR
RIED THE MESSAGE TO GAR
CIA." '
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.—Cap-
tain Andrew S. Rowan, "the man wlio
carried the message to Garcia," is
going to be married.
The lady who has captured the
captain's heart Is Mrs. Josephine de
(Jreanger of this city. She Is well
known in social circles here and a
prominent club woman.
Captain Rowan became famous tho
world over when he performed the
feat which caused his name to be
enumerated among the heroes of the
Spanish war.
When the war broke out It became
necessary for President McKinlcy to
secure the co-operation of Garcia, the
leader of the insurgents, who was
then bidden in mountain fastnesses
of Cuba. How to get the news to
Garcia puzzled the president until
someone suggested Rowan as the one
parson who could accomplish the feat.
So Rowan was sent for and given his
orders.
Strapping the oilskin packet con
taining the letter over his heart, the
lieutenant set out on his journey. In
four days he landed In an open boat
on Cuban soil, and then plunged Into
the almost impenetrable jungle. It
took him three weeks to pierce the
country, surrounded as he was by
foes on every side. At the end of that
time he emerged from the jungle and
found Garcia and delivered the letter
in safety.
ANIMALS DRIVEN
CRAZY
A. Hartshord, arriving from a trip
over the mountains, tells of the mag
nitieent picture the forest fires pre
sent In the evening. The Northern
Pacific passes through the burning
ilistriet and the sight is wonderful.
The hot air and smoke wafted over
the valleys is a menace to humanity*
and to all living things. He says
that, wild animals, dying of thirst
and routed out by the flames, are
terrorizing townspeople in the moun
tain district by midnight visits and
by their yells. Children are afraid
to be out after dark. Some of the
stories told about wild beasts in his
section rival those of Kipling's Jungle
stories. Cougars stalk about at night
devouring chickens and drink water
storeil in barrels for fire emergencies.
Every man goes about armed to the
teeth and no arrests have been made
for carrying concealed weapons.
