TERMSOF SUBfCRIPTION: ~ 1 00 One year Six months Three months WEDNESDAY JULY 17, 1901, William EL Hearst is about to launch another great daily paper. Boston is the field of operations. Mr. Hearst is without doubt the greatest newspaper fiend in the world. A Cincinnati lady say: “The news., papers of the country are deserving of the furies of hell lor their arraign’ ment of Dowie.” It seems from her statement that all Dowieites are fire, proof and will never smell brimstone This office can use that after.bar. vest money on subscription to good advantage at the present timex Th ° editor will be present in the office ten hours each day, except Suuday. to receive money now dueEugene V. Debs, the anarchist strike leader, delivered a Fourth of July oration in Chicago in which he severely denounced the United States flag. He said thathfe'has no respect for any flag that is the symbol of slavery- He certainly is of the type that believed the constitution does not follow the fiag. It seems that some of the republi can papers think that the democratic party should enter the race in 1904 upon the same issues discussed dur. ing the Andrew Jackson campaign. They do not know that we are in an age of advancement and long ago discarded the sickle for the self-bind. , er. Take the issues as they .come. Read the Decatur News, the best paper in the county.

Imus, morrison’s trip to Europe Contin nation of the Account Published in thl« Paper One Week Ago. And right here I believe I will speak of the fishing industries of Holland. Few people are aware of the magnitude of ft. for it is one of the greatest occupations in Holland and its products go to all parts of tire world. As early as 1603, the Dutch sold fish to other countries to the amount of 812,000,000, and 50.000 men were fishing in the North Sea, and the business gave employment to men on sea and land to the number of 150,000. The art of curing herrings was discovered ( bv a man named William Beukels of BierHet, a Fleming. This was one of the great discoveries of the age. and brought wealth to the nation, as well as an added comfort to the people who suffered greatly at times for food through the winters. In honor of one who had conferred so great a benefit upon bis country and upon humanity at large, Charles V. made a pilgrimage) to his tomb; foreign wars have at times caused a great suffering to those engaged in this business, but at present it is qnite flourishing. In different cities the fishing fleets start on different days, but always in June. Every proceeding is regulated by a committee of managers, or shareholders, called commisioners of the Great Fishery appoved of by tne government and under the inspection of officers appointed by them. These regulations are exceedingly minute and precise. The’period when the fishery might begin is fixed at five minutes past twelve o’clock on the night of the 24th of June; and the masters and pilot of every vessel leaving noiiand for the fishery are obliged to make oath that they will respect them. The species of salt to be used in curing the different sorts of herrings is also fixed by law; and there are endless rules with respect to the size of the barrels, the number and thickness of the {staves of which thev were to--, be made, the guttings and packing of the herring, the branding of the barrel. These regulations are intended to secure to the Hollanders that , superiority which they had early attained in the fishery, to obtain for the Dutch herrings, the best price in foreign markets. and te prevent the herrings being injured by the bad faith of individuals. On the days when the fishing ‘fleets sail ' away, special prayers are offered-in the ’ churches for the protection of the fisherman and their success. The first fish caught are sent off in swift sailing vessels where their arrival is awaited with the most anxious expectation. Watch- - men are set to look out for the vessels, and a premium is given to the first boat

these first fislfi are sold at a high price. One of the great buildings in Ainster-1 dam is the Royal Palace. It 14 one °E | the most expensive royal residences in Europe, but is only used occasionally by the royal family. They come here to be crowned. Little Wilhelmina was the last, two years ago their permanent residence is at The Hague. The foundations \of the palace are laid on more than 13,000 piles driven seventy feat into the grouhd, and it took more than seven years to build It.. The first stone was laid in 1648, and completed in 1655. Among its glories, is the largest bail room in Europe. It is in the center of the palace, lined with white Italian maible, and is 120 feet long, 57 feet wide, and nearly 100 feet high. The treas-ures-of the once celebrated Bank ot Amsterdam which used to regulate the exchange of Europe was kept in the vaults below this building and which are still used for this purpose by the Bank of the Netherlands, which succeded it. Far back in the Middle ages, Venice established a bank which should receive the coin of all nations, give warrant to all persons who should deposit such coin which warrants should circulate from hand to hand as .our bank notes do now. Three hundred years after this bank was founded at Genoa on a somewhat similar basis. In 1609’ the year of The Truce, the Bank of Amsterdam was founded. It is said the first capital of this bank was made of accumulated Spanish Ducats coined to carry on the oighty years war against the Dutch, but won by them in commerce and now used by the land they were CJined to overthrow. Before the end of the century the bank was known to nave metallic deposits with it to the amount of $180,000,000; a treasuie more prodigious than any European fii a icier at that time thought could be pis .ibly accumulated’. But it is no long-r the greatest bank nor do the Dutch lead the world in finance. ; Nearly a century afterwards that is after the Bank of Amsterdam was started, the project of starting a central bank in entertained, and not a few of the first directors of the banks of England were Flemish settlers in London, who were driven out of their country because of their religion, They brought over with them “the intelligence sagacity afid integrity of Netherland finance.” Here also is the center or head of another great industry, which at one time led the world. It is the diamond cutting industry. Atone time,this business was done nowhere in Europe except by the Jews of Antwerp and Amsterdam. There are a few other places now where they are but, New York being one of the places, yet the business is nowhere else so extenswe as here. The Jews who form a large part of the population have a monopoly of the diamond cutting and polishing busio css* 1 Elizabeth Studabaker Morrison (To be continued.)

— They Fill Themselve. with Bawdmt and Make Good Firewood. According to a, Denver paper Game Warden Frank Fenn, of the office of the Colorado State game commissioner, gent a man to Boulder to investigate complaints that three owners of sawmills oh the Middle St. Vraln creek were allowing the dust from their establishment to flow down the stream to the detriment of the trout and other fish in the water. Mr. Fenn says that he has warned the sawmill owners heretofore, and will prosecute if the evidence warrants it “However,” said Fenn, “it is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and even this killing of fish by filling-the stream with sawdust is a lucky thing for some of the people in the vicinity, I am informed. The other day I received a letter from a prominent citizen in the locality saying he hoped I would takg no steps to stop the dumping of sawdust into the creek, as it was helping scores of poor persons It seems that the fish swallowed so much of the sawdust that when they die they are so filled with wood that they do not sink but are washed ashore. After they are dried the poor of the neighborhood come along with big hampers and baskets and gather up these sawdust-filled fish,, which they use for firewood. There is more than sufficient firewood there to keep the poor in fuel during all this cool weather. lam informed that in this manner many persons who would otherwise have been charges on the county have been able to struggle along.” The Parting Salute. The Fiji Islanders cross two red feathers. The natives of New Guinea exchange chocolate. . The Burmese bend low and say: “Hib, Hib.” The “Auf wiedersehen” of the Austrian is the most feeling expression of farewell. The South Sea Islanders rattle each other’s whale teeth necklace. The Cuban would consider his good by anything but a cordial one unless he was given a cigar. In the islands in the straits of the Sound the natives, at your going, will stoop down and clasp at your foot. The Russian form of parting salutation is brief, consisting of-single word, “praschai,” said to sound like a sneeze. In the Philippines the parting benediction is bestowed in the form of rubbing one’s friend’s face with one’s hand. The Turk will solemnly cross his hands upon his breast and make a profound obeisance when he bids you farewell. The Otaheite Islander will twist the end of the departing guest’s robe and then solemnly shake his own hands three times. . The genial Jap will take his slipper off as you depart and say with a smile: “You are going to leave my despicable house in your honorable journeying —I regard thee!” The Sioux and Blackfeet will, at parting, dig their spears in the earth, as a sign of confidence and mutual esteem. This is the origin of the term “Burying the tomahawk.” The German “lebe wohl” is not particularly sympathetic in its sound, but it is less embarrassing to those it speeds than the Hindu’s performance, who. when you go from him, falls in the dust at your feet.

WASP STINGS. Instances Where They Proved Almost Instantaneously Fatal. To illustrate that the stings of wasps are often dangerous, a writer in the British Medical Journal on the subject of their stings cites the. two following cases which have come under his notice: ' A strong, healthy girl of 27 was stung on the neck by a wasp and fainted. On regaining consciousness she complained of a general feeling of numbness and partial blindness, and vomited; she suffered severe abdominal pain. She re-' covered in the course of a few hours. Two months later she was stung again, this time on the hand. Her face beanie flushed, she again complained of .nmbness, suddenly became very pale, tainted, and died twenty-five minutes after she was stung. Another case was that of a girl of 22, who was stung by a wasp behind the angle of the jaw. The sting w r as at once extracted and ammonia, applied. In a few minutes she complained of faintness and would have fallen if she had not been supported. Her face assumed an expression of great anxiety and a few minutes later she was tossing on the bed, complaining of a horrible fefiling of eholdng and of agonizing pain in the. chest ami abdomen. Brandy gave'no relief. Thefe’Vas nausea! but no vomiting. -She rapidly became insensible, and died fifteen minutes after receiving the sting. The most probable explanation of such cases seems to be in what is known as idiosyncracy—that is, abnormal sensitiveness in particular individuals to certain toxic agents. It is well known that drugs vary much in action in different people. What is a safe dose for one is dangerously large for another. A Fair Division of Expense. Old Gentleman—Do you think, sir, that you are able to give my daughter all the luxuries to which she has been accustomed?. Suitor (a practical man)—Well, you have been paying for her board and. clothes, and I have been paying 'for concerts, theaters and operas, and so on. Now, I’ll pay the board and clothes, and if you foot the amusement bills Ii don’t think she'll miss anything.
