LOADED WITH LOOT.
..tr.Mr,-- Squires, Secretary ,of .the U.
S. Legation at Pekin, is; coming
home on-leave of absence with an
immense and daisy, assortment of
china, works of. art and -other ctf-
rios, 'purchased from missionaries
and at military auctions of loo V
; Mr. Squires aeema tahave made a
snecialtv of - loot collecting and to
have succeeded so well as to secure,
according to . the cable dispatch,
"several car loads." - His collection
is intended-for the New York Me
tropolitan Museum, which doubtless
paid him'well for'his services. But
where did the "Missionaries" get the
loot they sold Mr. Squires? . : . . , .
We are not surprised that Secre
tary Squires should have engaged in
this, loot, business, for . his . Chief,
Minister Conger, set him the exam
ple by doing some of it himself.
In as much as Mr. Squires iwas in
the service, of ; the ITnited States,
does not this Government become
responsible for this plundering busi
ness, and share the disgrace of it?
When these pieces are put on exhi
bition in the Newu York Metropoli
tan Museum, every one ox them
should Jae conspicuously labelled
"Stolen in Pekin.,, i .
Qome time after the' capture of
Pekin a French ofiicer returning to
France brought with him a large
amount of Chinese plunder, 'stat
uary, table ware, gold and silver
ornaments, etc, a very fine and. val
uable collection, which he intended
as presents to his , friends nd the
government. As soon as he arrived
and before he disembarked with his
plunder, he received ' a . peremptory
order from the French War Office
return immediately to China;and
restore the plunder to its owners,, or
in the 'eventl therj could f not be
found, to the Chinese authorities.
That was France's sense of honor and
of. honesty. r ,
If this government would do the
proper thing, and show as much re
gard for its , reputation, Mt the gov
ernment of France did on that oc
casidn, it would hold "Mr. ' Squires
up at the first landing, if he could
nob be reached before hit departurei'
and "oTrder him to return and I give
up that plunder. . .

vlt has been, apparent' for, pome
time that the great steel strike," was
a failure. Injne .start the outlook
-was not - very promising for the

Commissioner Patterson, of the Agri-

from:. the Western part ot thev State
and reports crops in-that section far
below an .average. Along many of
the larger' mountain streams, espe
cially along the Yadkin river, not
only have crops been washed away,
but the land ruined. All over the.
mountain section, as in the rest of the
State, great damage has been done by
the continued rains, and Mr. Patter
son doesnt remember when the out
look for farmers was more gloomy. r
i i Fayetteville Oiserver r ' 'Sunday,
morning a negro named John Burns,
was shot and probably fatally wounded
on McNeill's bridge,. near Hope Mills,7
No. 2. From what we can gather, it
seems that - several white men ; and
three negroes, all more or less drunk,
engaged in a fight on McNeill's bridge
yesterday morning, and that as . John
Burns, one of the negroes attempted
to run, one of the white - men drew a
pistol and fired three shots at him all
taking effect, one of the bullets pass
ing through the lungs. The negro fell
to the ground -and all the parties en-,
gaged in the fight' fled. The two ne
groes returned, however, shortly after
wards and carried their wounded com
rade to the -village, where ; medical aid
was obtained.. One of the party named
Clem Warner, who is suspected of do
ing the shooting, has fled, it is said.
The County Commissioners ,. to-day
offered a reward for the arrest of the
person who did the shooting. V ? ' .
Hickory. correspondent Char
totte Observer'. , From statistics of this
year's wheat crop, Catawba can ; boast
of producing the largest yield of any
county in the State. From the thresh
ers' tallies and from the wheat in the
sheave under shelter, which will be
threshed within the next fortnight,
this county will make' between, four
hundred and four hundred and fiftsr
thousand bushels, making about one
twelfth of all the wheat produced in
the State the average par acre being
greatly in excess of that of any other
county, some of - our farmers . produc
ing fortyfive to fifty bushels per acre.
many of the farmers are equipped with
the most modern seeding and harvest
ing machines, the planters snaring no
expense for equipping their farms for
the cultivation of small grains. As an
evidenee'of the poor fruitage of the
cotton crop thisseason(!n Mecklenburg
county) Mr. Gilbert Helms, of Crab
Orchard township, yesterday brought
to the Uoserver office a number of cot
ton plants of a tall, and luxuriant
growth. It is apparently fine cotton,
but a close inspection shows a remark
able absence of squares and - bolls. On
one large plant there .are less than
half a dozen bolIs Mr.. Helms says
that this deficiency is characteristic of
a good deal of cotton In this section of
the county. Mr. Bryum, of - Steele
Creek, - who is noted as a . cotton
grower, aays that in his fields the bolls
are cracking open . and the staple is
found to be rotten. r
CURRENT. COMMENT.

tant mettfiQ Our staff, saia toe manager
of a large New Orleans hotel. "He is
kept busy ; ever .day tf th year, and,
sometimes he is bo rushed with work that
he has to cnln ;an 'assistant. It Is no
exaggeration tftl say that he averages .
trom 25 to 30 keys a day." . V i i
"Bat I woald - suppose," ; remarked a
listener,: "that even, a big hotel would ac
quire a sufficiency or Keys in tne course'
Ot Wmeiif S.IUtv5 A .bits iM&ttiy, :
"So it does." reolied the manageK "if
the public would bnly let It kee 'em butv
it won t. i. It would astonish anybody not
in the business to know how many guests
walk off with their room keys when they
leave the house. When the average man
gets ready to depart, he packs bia valise,"
locks bis door and then goes direct to tne
cashier's wicket to settle bis 'bill. When,
that formality is attended to, he is gener
ally in a rush to get to the depot and-is
quite apt to forget that he has omitted
to return his key at the clerk's desk.
That, at any rate, is the way I account
for ' so ' much:" absentmindedness on the
subject. . The clerk doesn't discover that
the -key .is gone until the , chambermaid
applies for it to clean up the room, which
is probably : an ' hour or two after tne
guest .has taken his ' departure. -Then
nothing remains but. to call In the key
fitter and tell him to prepare a duplicate
as aulckly as he can. ; .-' '- " f
"Formerly the hotels tried ' to guard
manager went on, 'by having their keys
made very large and - cumbersome rand
attaching- them to enormous metal tags,
the idea being to render it Impossible to
put them' in one's pocket. To that end
they were probably a success, but they
were: such an unmitigated nuisance other
wise, and guests complained so bitterly
at the annoyance of handling them, that
they were generally discarded.1 Yon' will
still find the plan popular in the country,
however, and in small houses, that have
no locEsmitns on tne premises, and only
a-week or so ago I dropped Into a quaint
little establishment where the keys were
attached to. brass disks fully .as large as
dessert plates and serrated at the edge
like circular saws. v - ; ? v "
"At present most of the big hotels, use
a modest metal check, stamped with their
address and a request to forward through
the malls if accidentally carried off. : All
.that Js necessary,, is to attach a 8 ceet
stamp to the tag and drop the key in the
nearest letter box. 'Incidentally I may
say "that about one man in 50 takes the
trouble. Put -aside from .the room keys
carried away by guests, a vast number ef
all kinds 'disappear through the mysteri-
ous channels, to oblivion that exist in all
large hotels. They , vanish, and ,thats
the end of it keys to furniture, wardrobe
keys, closet keys, bathroom keys, keys to
tne help's- lockers,' padlock keys from the
outride storerooms, big coal bunker keys,
gate key .and keys ot every, imaginable
size, shape and style. ' They are contin
nally missing and have to be replaced.
If a lost key turns up later, the duplicate
is carefully ticketed and laid away in a
drawer set aside tor that purpose. But
they seldom turn ud. They have rone to
.the limbo of lost pins, last season's birds',
nests ana tne snows of yesteryear."

Guatemala, you have to set a guard over

Just' returned, from -. a visit to Gentral
Aniencai siz a ract, assure yoiv
Dbortiy before I started for home I made
a trip from Port Barrios to Guatemala
'City. The weather was broiling hot, and
When we got, to Guatemala, which . is
about the tuggest town on the road, I
thought rd 'see what the temperature
really was. So I strolled out of" the
hotel to locate a thermometer, and after
a long search I found, one hanging on the
porcn of a. residence. To my astonish
ment it was surrounded by a cage of wire
netting heavy enough to hold a young,
bear. It was a cheap thermometer, not
worth over 40 or 50 cents, and such a pre
caution seemed all the more remarkable
because petty household pilfering is pracv
ticaiiy unknown in that' country. .. . r
. "People think nothing of going off and
leaving their houses wide open,' and why
a thermometer, c which was apparently
.t a . ili .
we uung on eartn any ooay , wouw
want to steal, . should be so carefully
guarded was more than I could under
stand., On my way back to the hotel I
saw two. others,! both protected in exact
ly the' same manner, and my curiosity
was highly excited. When I questioned the
landlord, he smiled and assured me. that
the Screens were absolutely necessary to
prevent the natives from breaking the in-, i
struments to get out the mercury.
They suffer, .from torpid . livers? he
said, .'and they regard mercury as . a
specific. . How' the belief became current
the Lord only knows,' he went on,s but
it. is universal all through. the interior.
and if an outside thermometer is left un
protected overnight it is morally certain
to be broken and drained. -:..!
.'couldn't credit the story at first and:
thought he was 'kidding me Tor a tender
foot. But later on I learned that was
absolutely true. An English -surgeon it
Zacapatold me that he had seen scoifs
of natives suffering . from chronic rbeu
matism, brought on by swallowing raw
mercary, ana i aareesay tne dose is oc
casionally fataL, But they still: cling, to
tne superstition. . When a EuroDean set
tles in the country he is pretty certain' to
nang a therjpometer-somewhere outside
of his house, and : after losing two or

vThe interest Iiws of China, with which
the operations of .bankine are intimatelv
connected, date from the year 1250 of our

curiously defended by several writers. It
-results they Bay, in securing economy,
In order that the borrower may repay the
loan, in producing greater industry, in de-j
terring persons tromborrowipg, in reduc-'"
ing the number of renters of land," thus
increasing the number of landowners, an4
in inducing circumspection with regard to
new enterprises. ; It is "further stated h
men of business that this SO per cent is - i
only a maximum founded m th nmh..
