Course of the Trading end Incidents of ‘the Fray— Some Failures Announced, Butea Rumor That Three Banks Are Weak Is Denied by the Clearing-House Committee—Another Smash at Sioux Oe and Assignments in Other Sec- tions of the Country New York, May 4.—When Chairman Mitchell of the New York Stock Exchange rapved three times with his wooden mallet this morning a hundred members or wore let out one wil@whoop. There were three distinct rushes on the floor at the opening. On the south side the Cordage people gathered. And such a gath- ering! The wildest scrimmage the foot ball Nelda havever seen was puttoshame. Mem- bers from every quarter, a moment before the opening standing about listlessly, were transtormed into howling demons, and with arms wildly swinging line windmills, they fornied for the fray. On the Broad street side the Sugar crowd made thinge quite as lively, though the num- bers were not great, but what these brokers lacked in numbers, they made up in the va- Fiety of their rushing tactics. Instead of standing erect and trying to fight their way to the center, would double up their bodies and with a run make for the slight- est opening, and ina moment they would bob up serenely, pad in hand, prepared to do or die. Im the center the Chicago “Gas people held their argument. They were less demon- strative than the others and took mattersa little easier. At the different entrances tothe exchange members rushed in and out like wild Indians. No one thought of walking. Faces were in many cases paled and worn. There were no smiles. Cordage common, which closed last night at 36%, opened anywhere between 37 and2s und quickly sold down to 26%. From this figure ‘there was a rally, but later the stock de- clined to 26. This makes a total fall of 35 points since last Friday. Cordage preferred gold down to 6, against a closing of 78 last night. It was a Waterloo for the National Cordage Co. The restofthe market was fairly steady, 2 at about yesterday’s closing figures and withoutany great amount of activity. t 10 o’clock the chairman’s gavel callea excited brokers around his desk. He an- mounced the fatlure of Henry Allen & Co. of The firm was formed in May, * did a very large business both in grain and stocks. It was very heavily short of Sugar during the big February rise in that stock. It is supposed to have had recently a very large interest in Cordage. One of its large customers was W. G. Weaver Loper, Jr., a son ot one of the Cordage company’s directors. The house was of the gilt-edged Variety. The customers were noted for their good clothes and high living. Henry Allen & Co. 's manager said that the assignment of the firm was wholly unex. pected, and was brought about by the fan- ure ofa number of their customers to re- spond when called upon for margins. The amount of liabilities canmot be definitely stated until later in the day. Both partners were at the office to-day endeavoring to straighten out matters. Schuyler Walden, who has been a member of the Stock Exchange since 188i, announced at I: o’clock that he was unable to meet his contracts. Yesterday he turned bull and bought heavily of Cordage. When that stock went down this morning he called upon his customers for whom he purchased Cordage, and their failure to respond resulted in his going under. He said that he thought his suspension would be only temporary. Mem- Ders of the clearing-house committee say that no meeting of the clear{ng-houses or of the cilearine-house committee has been called, and that so far as they know there is no bank in trouble or whose condition in any way needs inspection by the clearing house.

HE WAS IDENTIFIED BY TENNESSEE PENITENTIARY OFFICIALS * A a Former Inmate of That Prison Con- victed of Horse Stealing—A Legal In ‘vestigation Begins To-Morrow—The Claimant Clings to His Statement That He Is the Ex-Soldier, Wm. Newby Shot at Shiloh—The Strange Story. FAIRFIELD, In., May 4.—The recent pub- lications in the Post-Dispatca of articles concerning William Newby, the alleged loug- lost soldier, has revived what was getting to be a waning interest in that individual, and when it was learned here yesterday that the efforts on the part of the Government to es- tablish his identity had resulted in his arrest at Springfield, this State, last Saturday, and that he is now confined in jail awalit- ing a preliminary trial on the charge of impersonating another man and thus attempting to defraud the Government ofa large sum of money, it setthe entire community to discussing the case in all its featnres. A strong local interest is felt in the case by residents of this county, because of the fact that it is the home ofa large number of Will- lam Newby’s comrades, and also because that individual was himself well known to many of our older citizens. There has al- ways been a doubt in the minds of quite a number of the people here as to the identity of the individual claim- ing to be William Newby, and not a few have been outspoken if their dec- laration that he was not the person he claimed to be. Among the number was Pressly Newby, a brother of the genuine William Newby, who has never missed an opportunity to denounce the claimant as an imposter. Another person who is equally confident that the claimant is a fraud is Capt. J. J. Funkhouser, who commanded the com- pany in the 40th Regiment, of which Newby was a member. The late W. C. (Buck) Murphy, also an army comrade of the genuine Newby, was another who let no opportunity pass to denounce the present claimant as a fruud andan imposter. On the other hand, there are a large number of relatives and close friends of the old soldier who have yielded to the evidence ‘submitted and have acknowledged the identity of the claimant. In doing this, how- ever, each of the parties aver t hat there has been a wonderful transformation in the physical. appearance Of the man, The original Newby, when he enlisted more than thirty years ago, and up to the time he was reported as killed on the battlefield at Shiloh, wasa de- cided blonde, his hair and whiskers being lightand his eyes light bDiue. He was also large boned and of-a compact, muscular bulld. The present Claimant has coal black eyes, is dark-skinned, is about two inches taller than the original Newby, and his hands are small and shapely enough for those of a woman. All these transforma- tions, however, did not weigh against proofs the claimant was able to present, and the widow of the dead soldier, as well as many of nis nearest relatives, announced themselves as con- vinced that he was the original and long- missing Willlam Newby. So longas the claimant contented himself with trying to convince the friends and rela- tives of Newby that he was not an imposter there was not much effort made to sift the matter to the bottom, but when this wassup- plemented by the filing of a claim against the Government for a total disability pension vith back pay amounting to $20,000, the interest of Uncle Sam was aroused, ‘and then began a searching investigation of the past history of the present claimant. The original Newby would be about 68 or 64 years of age. Ihe claimant looks to be about 50. In the first application for pension the claimant placed his at years. A sec- ond claim, flled thirty * later, gives his was not much in- age as years. There formation to be derived from the claimant as to his whereabouts during the time in- tervening from the date og which Newby was reported killed and buried at Shiloh and that on which he made bis appearance in this rt of II- nols, somet* ag over a year before he put forth any claim tothe name ofNewby. The year or more which preceded his claim was spent as an inmate of the poor-houses in this and adjoining counties. When the Government began its investica- tions of Newby’s whereabouts during the thirty years following the battle of Shiloh, it was compelled to go South. At Nashville, Tenn., where Pension Examiner McBride went with Newby mat week, the latter was at once N dy the au- thorities of tate’ penitentiary as a former inmate of that institution, where be had served a term of 1 years, begin- ning in 1874, for 1 horses near Frank- lin, Williamson enn. Here he was known as Danie! 1 and the prison rec- ords show that he once made his escape and was recaptured. ing with his man to Brentwood, the agent of the Government was re- warded by, having his charge recognized by a large number of rsonsas Daniel Benton, all claimed that was raised in that Tenn., neigh ° The resi@ents there said that Benton was born in White County, III., and that he came to that State with his mother when he Was quite a boy. Mrs. Benton was dead and this jact perhaps revented the claimant from having her evi- ence added to those of her friends and neighbors that her son was attempting to perpetrate a fraud on the Government. Having secured what evidence he could in Tennessee, Pension Examiner McBride in- formed Newby that they would at once proceed to Springfield, ni., where there resided a member of the 40th IIiinois Infantry, and if the latter should recognize him the identification would be comple oe. Newby was informed that the name of this old comrade of his was Kavanaugh, and that be would be taken to see him immediately on their arrival at Springfleld. The little scheme worked just as the Examiner intended it should. Upon being introduced to Kavanaugh Newby at once recognized him as an old comrade and gave him the hand of fraternal greeting. Now Kavanaugh was never was a member of the 40th orany other regiment, of his old tter 1 7 0 arrest soldier lan- and his response tothe comrade was to ce the on a warrant hien nad sworn out by McBride, and the. and William resurrected Newby sulshegin a Government preliminary 1 which will m 1 : 22 7273 fret — W.

THE RIVER FALLING. The Water Has Gone Down Two-Tenths of a Feot. The Ohio bas fallen 2 feet at Pittsburg and risen 2 feet at Parkersburg; at Oincinnati it has fallen 1.5 feet; at Evansville risen 1.3 feet and at Cairo 0.8 of a foot. where itis now 7.6 feet. The Kan- awhe has risen 9 feet at Chariestos, W. Va. The Big Sandy at Louisa has risen 7 feet. The Cumber- land at Nashville has fallen 1 foot. The Tennessee at Chattanooga has risen 7 feet.

The lower Mississippi is rising. The river at st. Louis to-day shows a depth of 31.3 feet, a fall of two-tenths of a foot since yesterday. At the office of the Weather Bureau itis predicted that the water will fall fast to-day at Hermann, Mo. There has been a fall of ene foot within the past twenty-four hours. At Alton the water fell one foot, at Quincy one-tenth of a foot, at Louisiana seven-tenths of a foot, and at Hannibal one-tenthof afoot. The water at St. Paul stands at 16.8 feet, Which is the highest on record, but it is mot believed that this will have any appretiable effect on the river at this point. A continued fall is pre- dicted, except in the of heavy rains. ON THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI. THE CROW AND OTHER TRIBUTARIES BANK FULL AND RISING. Sr. Pat, Minn., May 4.—Reports late last night from Central Minnesota points indicate that the south-flowing rivers are all steadily rising. The Crow River has gone to a point higher than ever known before, sweeping many bridges away. At St. Paul the Mississippi continued to rise all day, compelling. the stove works to suspend work. Many storehouses along the river have been temporarily abandoned and the Owners are suffering some inconvenience, The west side flats below the bridge are al- most completely under water, and the flat ters are paddling around in boats trying to save as much of their personal effects as possible. The Bohemian flats are ina simi- lar condition, A dispatch from Stillwater says Lake St. Croix is overflowing its banks., THE PLANTERS DISCOUBAGED. Pine Burr, Ark., May 4.—The river rose here last night five inches. The farms op- posite the city are partially under water and reports from below are that all the lowest lands are overflowed. The water lacks forty- three inches of being as high as last year, but that is poor co as it a feet too high then. Stock ts del ng moved from plan - tations and the people are discouraged. A DELEGATE ARRESTED. Wm. C. Marten Accused of Beating «a Woman—Claims It Is Blackmail. A case which promises to be of consider- able interest ison the docket of the Second District Police Court for next Wednesday. Wm. C. Marten, the Republican member of the House of Delegates from the Seventeenth Ward, is the defendant and Mrs. Hannah Mulner of 1224 North Ninth street the prose- cutrix. Last Tuesday morning Officer Flaherty. was attracted to the above num- ber by the cries of Mrs. Mulner, and at her instigation locked up Mr. Marten at the Third District Stationona dharge of disturbing the peace. The case was called yesterday, but, at the solicitation of the city, was continued, it being alleged that Mrs. Mulner was unable to appear on account of injuries claimed to have been inflicted by Delegate Marten. Mrs, Mulner, when seen this morning, was lying in bed with her head covered with bandages. Shesaid that some time ago she bought a picture on the time-payment plan from Marten, who has a studio at 2614 Frank Un avenue. She says that, notwithstanding the fact that she made her payments as stipulated inan agreement with his agent, Marten, with four men, one of hem named Corman, burst into her house and grabbed the picture bought from their studio and a another which she says was bought in Chi€éago. When she :emunstrated th him, she alleges, Corman knocked her down and Marten broke one of the pictures over her head. A warrant charging assault and battery has been sworn out against Corman and one will be applied for against Marten to-mor- row. Delegate Marten denies that Mrs. Mulner was struck at all and alleges that the woman is trying to black mall him. He says that Mulner has sailed under 2 aliases and that he has been exposed the pesos sy fraud. elgg claims that the picta e took from the woman’s —— belonged to bim and alleges that she obtainet one of them from him fraudu- lent representations about a year ago.

The Romaniste Held Responsible for the French Revolution and the Civil War —The Second Day’s Session of the German Luther Canewra aoe &i aes ties yp The German Methodist Conference was re- sumed at 9 o’clock this morning with scrip- tural reading and comments. Prof. Geo. B. Addicks read a paper on the question, Do Dangers Threaten Our Nation From the Roman Catholic Church? Ifso How Shall We Array Ourselves Against It?’’ The reader, who is a young, clean-shaven man, began an alleged history of the Roman Catholic Church from the year 1500 A. D. To it he traced allthe bloody wars and tyrannical acts of the later centuries. The French revolution and the rebellion in the United States, he charged, were caused and fost- tered by the influence of the Romish Church. The church, he said, is an enemy to the public school, and wants a aivision of the school funds for its priestly governed and nun-taught schools. It wishes a share, he went on to say, in the offices and eventually to control all of them as its Tammay Hall does in New York. It Owes allegiance, he asserted, to a foreign potentate, hence its members cannot be good citizens; and it is everywhere an enemy to constitutional government in Italy, Spain, France and the United States. He read a number of alleged extracts from Germania, the Catholic Tribune and an address by the Bishop of Cin- cinnati and others in proof of his remarks. After venting his feelings in this strain he proceeded to furnish a theory for dealing with the Catholic Church. HIS ADVICE. He demanded first an act of Congress deny- ing the right of suffrage to any Jew or Mor- mon, Catholic or unbellever who could not read intelligently the constitution of the United States. Then he urged a complete unification of Protestant churches in oppo-, sition to Romanism. He took occasion at this juncture to compliment the Catholic Church on its splendid solidity and union and said Protestant churcheg could meet on some common points sufficiently,so at least to combat Catholics at election time, using as a sword in the fight the united force of the younger Protestants, who would in the future as they did at the late elections in St. Louis within a year, fully triumph over Romanism and help to wipeit from the face of the 22 During his remarks he referred to the A. P. A. and its influences once o He eh. with a prayer to ‘that his wishes be granted and thirty-nine of his forty auditors said, *‘Amen?’’ REV. WILKENNING’S ADD Rev. Wm.-W ilkenning followed a — it was evident from his embarrassed manner that ajor part thunder. He said that gentleman’s paper was an excellent one and that much credit was due him therefor. For himself he often wondered why ts would vote for a Catholic. Yet he saw them at every election casting their ballot for some Roman Catholic. He ventured the assertion that Catholics had entered into a league with Jefferson Davis to destroy the United States Government. It, was German Methodists tnat had saved Missouri the last war. It was not Americans. The Germans had stood shoulder to shoulder with Sigel and conquered the American rebels. For himself he wasa Republican, and the more he saw ofjthe league bet ween the Democrats and the Catholics the more of a Republican he became. He wondered why Protestants would give Catholics help and work. He could not understand this to be the duty ofa Christian. They should fi — this sly foe in every way and eventually stroy it. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon wes devoted to considera- tion of methods to be followed to create a strong young people’s society, and how to conduct it, Rev. P. W. Jacoby being princi- pal speaker. Another topic discussed was Influences of the Young Peoples’ — on during a spiritual, intellectual and ha Ute.“ This was followed by a report o the Young Weople’s Society of the St. Louis District.

After the prayer by Chaplain Lauer and the reading of the minutes of yesterday’s session a discussion arose over a propos on to add to Concordia Seminary at llwaukee, Wis., anew building containing seven recitation rooms and a lecture hall. It was decided to make tho addition at a cost of $35,000.

A Disastrous Fire Wistts the City of a Bonne Terre. BONNE TERRE, Mo., May 4.— The most dis- astrous fire in the history of this place occurred at 1 o’cilock this morning. The fire was first seen in the second story of the Nix building from which it spread quickly to the large two and a half story frame of John Wilkson, from which it quickly crossed the street to the large Rongey bullding, which, with the grocery store of John A. Sprott on the east, were entirely destroyed. Extend- ing westward on both sides of the street, everything fella prey to the devouring ele- ment, until only smoldering embers marked the sites of twenty-one business and dwell- ing houses. Owingtothe combustible char- acter of the buildings, the rate of insurance was so high that only light lines were carried. The principal business houses 1 out are: John A. Sprott, grocer; Wm. Rongey, saloon; L.

TOLEDO, O., May 4.—The Miami River has its source in the Lewiston Reservoir and be- gins at the wasteway, which broke yester- day. The first break took away 100 feet of the wasteway, directly in front of a covered bridge 150 feet long, which spanned the Miami River only about seventy-five feet from the reservoir. This bridge was sup- ported by heavy piling driven intothe ground eighteen feet, but when the mighty flood, covering 17,000 acres and making the second largest (the St. Marys being the largest) ar- tificial body of water in the world, struck the bridge these pilings were as matches, and the heavy wooden bridge, weighing ‘tons, was hurled down stream and lodged upright 200 feet from its original place. The continual rush of water tore away an- other fifty feet, and only a short time elapsed before the entire country for three miles ofthe reservoir was inundated, The distance across the water is three miles. Col. Perkins, chief engineer; Assistant Engineer John O’Connor, superintendent of the division, ad Frank McCulloch, members of the State Board of Public Works, are on the scene and doing everything that can be Gone to repair K.

This evening will see people between De Graff and Sidney watching anxiously for the result, and the high water will be more than reached. Then those onlow ground will be in great danger. The damage to owing wheat along the river bottoms will amount to thousands of dollars. Their warning has been ample and no great loss of life of man or Deast should result. A FALSE ALARM. Prob, O., May 4.—The announcement was made in Wednesday evening’s papers that in case of danger from break of the Lewistown reservoir warning would be given by the fire bells.

A large force of men is engaged in the wooded island planting hundreds of flowers of endless variety in the large beds which were lala out last year.

MES. HUFFSMITH’S CHARGE. A Ceolorade Physician Now in St. Louis Wanted by Law Officers. GREELEY, Colo., May 4.—A warrant was sworn out yesterday afternoon in Justice Williams’ court for the arrest of E. B. Bossee onacharge of malpractice. Awell known young lady of Evans named Hattie Huf- smith was the complaining witness. Dr. Bossee came to this section about two years ago and located in Evans, a town four miles south of Greeley. He held the position of County Physician during 1892 and was highly esteemed as a medical prac- titioner and for his social qualities. Two weeks ago he sold his practice Dr. Bryant, giving as his reason for so doling that he wished to rest for a few months, intending to go to Berlin during the summer to com- plete his medical studies in tnat city. He started for St. Louis last week saying he haa kinsfolk there and he would visit them fora few weeks, thence to Chicago and then to Berlin. Hetsaslight bullt young man and talks with an English or Canadian accent. The only Dr. Bosse known to the medical rofession in the city is Dr. Edwin H. osse, who graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1886. Dr. Bosse is the son of Chas. Bosse, a grocer on the corner of Twenty- second and Madison streets. He was a nephew of old Dr. sse well known in St. Louis now dead. F. Bosse was raised by bis uncle. The last hgard from him ne was prac- ticing medicine in Denver. His father stated to-day that he had not heard directly from his son for nearly two years. Accord- os — Dr. Bosses’ relatives he is not in St. ulis. STOLE SYSTEMATICALLY. a An Employe of Hess & Culbertson Caught Appropriating Jewelry. William O’Hearn, a I7-year-old boy, em- ployed by Hess & Culbertson, jewelers, on Sixth street, near Olive, was arrested yester- day, on a charge of stealing trom his employ- ers. He has worked for the firm since last September, and hig peculations are said to Gate back to almost the first day he was em- ployed. His custom, it is alleged, was to steal small articles, valued at a few dollars, which would not readfly be missed and to dispose of them as the opportunity offered. Of late his actions were thought suspicious and a watch was placed upon him which re- sulted on Saturday last in his being caught in the act of stealing a small gold scarf-pin valued at $4.50. When searched a ticket for Kansas City was found in his possession, showing that he intended to leave for that city the same night. His grip which he had packed to teke with him contained many articles which had been stolen from the store. A warrant was issued > ll messing charging him with petit y. In Judge Claiborne’s Court.

N F ‘Will Provide for the Free Library Tex ate Petition to Widen Twelfth Street North to #ranklin Avenue Music in the Parka. The Ways and Means. Committee of the Oity Council will hold a meeting to-morrow afternoon at 4o0’clock. The most important matter tode discussed is rate of taxation on property for munici purposes for the ensuing year. Last year the limit was reached, so that it is not proba dle the rate can be made any higher for the coming year. The charter provides for a maximum tax of $1 per $100 for municipal purposes and an additional levy to pay in- terest on bonds. Last year the , full dollar was assessed, and40 cents additional for interest, making $1.40 in all, This, with State and other taxes, ran the amount up to $2.05. It will probably be the same for the coming year. | In connection with thisit may be stated that the. reason for the deiay in presenting the rate of taxation bill was the difficulty the members of the committee experienced in determining whether it was their duty to make provision for the free library fund which was voted on and passed at the late spring election. Dity Counselor Marshall was called on for an opinion inthe matter, and itis under- stood that he has prepared it and will sub- mie it to Mr. Max Kotany, the Chairman of the committee, to-day. The City Counselor holds the opinion that it is the duty of the President of the Board of Assessors to levy the one-fifth ofa mill tax for the purpose of a free library just as he levies the school tax. He holds that the tax is separate and distinct from that raised for municipal pur- ses andthatit is not the function of the Council to make any „ for it. President Nagel of the Council coincides in this view of the City Counselor and says that the members of that body will ged by the opinion, and leave the lib tax to as- sessed by the President of the Board of As- sessors conjunction with the school tax. To Heat the Insane Asylum. President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements has called a special meeting of the Board for to-morrow to prepare and approve an ordinance providing for an addl- tional ap ppropriation to heat the Insane th stea rovided for an appro- 42 of 51, 0 and the lowest bid rece ag was that of the Globe Steam Heating which was $13,898.75. it was — K that this was as chea as the work could be done satisfactorily and the members of the board have reached the same conclusion. The new ordinance will call for a sufficient amount to cover this bid. In the meantime the Globe Heating Co. has consented to let its bid stand and also its de- posit until action is taken on the ordinance. Republicans Cannot Reorganize. There has been a lot of idle talk and news- paper comment to the effect that the Repub- icans of the House of Delegates would take advantage of the first opportunity offered them to effect a reorganization of the House. It has been state that the Democrats have been anticipating this move, and in consequence have been very regular and Prt in their attendance at all meetings. he of this becomes apparent when it is considered that no change in the hy gee organization could be effected except a vote ofa majority ofall the delegates holding seats. As the Republicans have but fourteen mem- bers in the House it will be seen that it is im- possible for them to change the present or- ganization unless they can secure the co- op- eration of a Democratic member, which is not at all likely at present. It is safe to say that the present officers and committees will stand for ome time to come. Want Twelfth Street Widened. A numbert of property-owners on High and Twelfth streets, with Mr. R.Graham Frost as their attorney, were at the Street Commis- sioner’s office this morning to procure information relative toa proposed petition which will be presented to the Board of Public Improvements to extend the opening of Twelfth street from Washington avenue to Franklin avenue. The object was to induce the Committee on Public mprovements having the ordi- nace in hand to widen Twelfth street from st. Charles street to Washington avenue, to hold it until the Board had an opportunity to pass on the present petition. One ordinance for the en- tire matter could then be presented, provided the petition was favorably acted upon. It is estimated that the condemnation of property necessary to — 1 this latter petition would cost about 5600, 00. Maj. Mur- phy promised to present the matter to the committee, and in the meantime Mr. Frost said he would have the peti- tion put in proper ~~ fe He says that already a majority of the property owners who havebeen ap * roached have consented to “ee the petition. The only formidable objection probably will be the cost to the city. The Columbien Club Bond. Mr. Jacob Meyer and Benjamin Strauss, as bondsmen for the Golumbian COlub, called on Mayor Walbridge to-day and led a bond in the sum of $5,000 as a guaranty thatthe club would open an alley in the rear of their new premises. The Columbia ud is erecting anew club house between McPherson and Lindell ave- nues, west of Vandeventer, and their buila- alley. Property and have asked rmit revoked. The club members then came forward and offered to dedicate a strip of their land tor alley N 7 — they were permitted to carry resent designs for their building.

EDWARD ATKINSON of Boston thinks his statement that the Western farmers are creditors rather than debtors will be received with surprise. True, this re- markable gentleman’s statements are gen- erally surprising. — —, Mr. McKINLEY’s renomination for Gov- | ernor in Ohio will cost the Republicans more than would any other. Théy will have to take every precaution against de- feat, as the fall of McKinley would be taken to mean a great deal more than the failure of any other nominee. PROTECTIONISTS are bound to take the Chicago Exposition in a Pick'wickian sense and must impress this opinion upon the foreigners. Wedonot want to swap ideas with the outside world any more than we want to swap the productsof la- bor. European exhibitors should be made to understand this protection idea. PERHAPS the reason why the ex-Presi- dent and the ex-vice-President were not in- vited to the naval review or the Fair open- ing ig that they are now private citizens and, such, were entirely forgotten by the New Yorkers. Certainly no harm could have tren done in extending invita- tions to both the gentlemen, and it is, perhaps, to be regretted that neither of them was present. It is an odd parodox that the people who rightly object to socialism because it would bring about a uniformity of type and cus- tom are the most earnest in their endeavors to impose regimentation in existing con» ditions. The attempt to compel waiters to shave their upper lips and in other ways to eliminate whatever is personal and original is an exhibition of this contradiction amus- ing to the outside world, as it is exasperat- ing to the victims of the order. — —— — — Tae rather remarkable statement is made that no advance in mechanics is in- dicated by the display in “Machinery Hall beyond the exhibition of 1876in Phila- delphia. Probably a, closer study will disclose many improvements, but since 1876 inventive genius has gone largely into electrical appliances which are revolu- tionizing practical life. Invention is more active than ever, but itis not working in the same channels as in the past. — — . — —j4ü1•.—— As Gov. PENNOYER of Oregon is dis- posed to be ‘‘sassy’’ to the President in the matter of Chinese disturbances, it is to be supposed that the Governor is ready to suppress any riot that may occur. Uncle Samuel having to pay damages to the Chinese Government whenever there is an anti-Chinese riot, Gov. Pennoyer might well have considered the right of the President to put in a word as the repre- sentative of the taxpayers of the nation. ee Jupax EpMuNDs instructed the Grand- jury to investigate the election frauds, but failed to charge them to look into the re- cent frauds in the news and dramatic de- partments of the Old Pretender. This thing of illustrating unexploded fireworks and criticising unplayed plays is contrary to the spirit and letter of the law. If it is not stopped there may be descriptions of unsculptured scuipture and unpainted pictures and reports of all sorts of unborn events. N — — — — Tn sole leather trust organizes with a stock of 60, 000, 000, said to represent the actual value bf the property acquired, $60 ,000 ,000 to represent the value of the co- ercive power tosqueeze the public and $10,000,000 of bonds which are tobe soid to get money to start the concern, a total of $130,000,000. There is considerable economy in the arrangement, but as long as the 560, 000, 000 worth of coercive power is held the consumers of sole leather will noble! the effects of it. ELEVEN beans, 40 cents; a nibble of cheese and one cracker, 35 cents; beef, per cut, 50 cents; skinny pie, per eighth, 25 cents, are some of the Fair prices quoted by the Chicago Herald, which is not a subsidized organ of the St. Louis drum- mers. Spectators are to some extent dodging these figures by carrying lunch baskets, but lunch baskets are something of an encumberance to the citizen who goes sight-seeing and give an uncolumbian aspect to the scenery. Perhaps the wisest 1 LOUISVILLE should not be discouraged by : bound Wf bile 2. a to | they enforce any United States statute hien he deems unconstitutional, ds so -untenable that no President has ever acted upon it or proclaimed his approval of it. It the proposition is true, then the Pres- ident alone is to decide what laws of Con- gress shall be enforced and what statutes shall be canceled, and he has supreme ju- dicial authority to reverse Bupreme Court decisioris, énfcree laws pronounced uncon- stitutional by the Supreme Court, and veto regularly enacted statutes sustained by the established | judigial department of our Government, This would make Congress a mere com- mittee to advise the President in matters of legislation and it would make the Supreme Judges a mere committee of law clerks to aid the President in his functions as su- preme law-giver. and judge. To admit that the President can exercise such a tremendous authority only at his peril, and that he is liable to be impeached and deposed asa usurper if Congress and the Supreme Court do not accept his inter- pretation of the Constitution, isto admit that the Constitution clothes him with no such supreme judicial authority. Any citizen can disregard the statutes at his peril,’’ and so can the President, but that does notimply that either the citizen or the President is authorized by the Constitution to set aside the acts of the Legislature and decisions of the courts, and nullify the statutes merely to satisfy his constitutional scruples. Of course when an act is unquestionably invalid, when Congress as well as the President thinks so, and when there is little doubt that the Supreme Court is of the same opinion, the President can refuse to enforce it by common consent without in- curring any peril whatever. But he has no more constitutional authority for refusing to enforce such an act than for refusing to enforce the most unquestionably valid act of Congress. He is simply exceeding his authority, as Jefferson said he did when he made the Louisiana purchase, and trust- ing for his vindication toa general recog- nition of the necessity and propriety of his conduct. such bandit bankruptcies. The Reading case is merely a shiping idustration of a practice which has cost the people of the whole country so > dearly. . If it is true chat but ‘for Tom fom Platt Mr. Sherman would have been made President in 1888, the Senator can hardly be expected to love Mr. Platt asa brother, even though they are both members of the same politi- cal organization and both interested in its success. Mr, Shermanm’s refusal to enter into a bargain by whieh he should pay for Mr. Platt’s support with the office of Secretary of the Treasury will be applauded by all good citizens who are confi- dent that the refusal was not caused by a promise from Mr. Sherman to some other political worker. Though Mr: Sher- man hesitated before he spoke, his an- swer to Mr. Platt’s representative will elevate him very much in the esteem of his countrymen. ‘‘Mr. Harris, said he, as much as I desire to oécupy, at the hands of my fellow-citizens, the highest office within the gift of man, the gratification of that ambition Would be too dear at the price suggested by the consent you desire and the promise to be made for me. Un- Ress Mr. Platt can show that no such offer was made to Mr. Sherman, the Republi- cans who are to assemble in Kentucky next week will not be greatly honored. by the New York boss’ participation in their deliherations. Enn — OnE of the best examples of enterprising journalism of the best sort was the pub- lication of a Chicago edition by the New York Wonko on the morning following the opening exercises of the World’s Fair. Every department of the paper was com- plete, the whole editorial page being tele- graphed from New York. The account of the exercises was fuller and better arranged than that of any Chicago paper. In meri- torious werk the WorLpD has been imi- tated, but never anticipated. ee THE demand for gold which comes from Canada is said to arise from a deprecia- tion of our greenbacks in the Dominion. This, however, isa purely artificial con- dition, without basis in reason or common sense, and cannot last long. Probably at the bottom of the demand is a knowledge that the financial and commercial situa- tion in the colonies is not so sound as it should be. The Dominion banks want to avoid the disasters which have overtaken Australasia. — — „ 1. * THE DOG-CATCHING OUTEAGE. The dog catcher with garrote and wheeled cage has entered upon his spring cam- paign. The city is filled with the noise of his foul and profane language, the shrieks of his canine victims and the unavailing cries and protests of women and children. The dog catcher seems to delight in strang- ling and maiming: dogs, threatening and insulting women and abusing and fright- ening children into fits. We have special laws to protect animals from inhuman treatment. There is a, society which employs special officers to enforce these laws. If private citizens violate them they are subject to arrest and punishment. Yet the city arms thugs with authority and garroting wires who are permitted to inflict the most brutal cruelty upon inoffensive animals on ac- count of the shortcomings of their owners. They capture the licensed and unlicensed dogs alike without regard to the rights or protests of owners. They violate common humanity and common decency with im- punity. In justification of this outrage upon jus- tice and humane civilization it is urged that only thugs can be induced to engage in such work. But is there any justifica- } tion forasystem which compels the use of “thugs as law officers and the exercise of brutality? If we cannot find abetter way of collecting dog taxes and ridding the city of dog nuisances than this we had bet- ter do without the revenue and bear the nuisances. But with an efficient police force and the laws now on the statute books it would be easy to find a better way. Mankind owes humane treatment, at least, to its best and most faithful friend in the brute creation. — THE COST OF BANERUPTCY. The Philadelphia Times has made some study of the Reading bankruptcy and reached results which will serve td illus- trate the history of railway corporations all ovér the country, ‘‘The Reading cor- poration is bankrupt to-day,’’ says the Times, ‘‘simply because it has been per- sistently robbed by those who manipulate corporate credit. This may be said of nearly every rail- road corporation in the United States. The occasion of the Reading failure was the refusal of certain ‘‘financiers’’ to honor its credit for $5,000,000 to save it from the disaster which has overtaken it. But these same men now propose to handle a loan, aggregating 541, 800, 000, with no more security than was offered for the loan of one-eighth that amount. — —-_ Tue Columbian ladies havea right to feel indignant. Mr. Croffut’s poem was sent to the press of the country, but Florence Wilkin- son’s, which was read at the opening of the Woman's Bullding, was withheld. Mr. Croffut, just like a man, did not work ina word abont Isabella, his verses giving the entire credit to Admiral Colon. Miss Wilkin- son, on the other hand, gives most of her space to Isabella, without whose aid there would have been no discovery. Miss Wilkin- son says: He sailing and sailing and sailing iato the sunset seas, Little dreamed of the land that he sailed to, the sage and the sad Genoese, She, dreaming and dreaming and dreaming apart in her palace of Spain. Littie dreamed of the future awaiting that land of the Western mala. It is fortunate that there is a Woman's Building at the Fair, and that there are lady \ poets to immortalize the part that woman played in the search forthe New World. If the ladies can only manage to agree their triumphin the great exhibition will be a truly glorious one. CLAUS SPRECKELS says he is in Honolulu to investigate. It is to be hoped that every facility will be offered Mr. Spreckels for obtaining the information he seeks, and great pains should be taken to see that only the straight. accurate ‘facts are given him. It ld be very wrong to deceive Mr. Spreckels in any matter pertain- ing to the islands, ashe may not have had leisure to fully acquaint himself with the sit- uation. It is a little remarkable that Mr, Gresham bas not sent Commissioner Blount el itmay be that the Secretary of State has been fully occupied with Gov. Pennoyer of Oregon. - — ——_ A BOOK written before the ColumDian dis- covery, and which relates that in the year 1000 Leif, the Happy, and Enk, the Red, discovered what is now called America, is to be exhibited at the Fair. But Leif and Erik are really not in it’’ with Columbus. Their friends have not svufficientiy pushed their claims.

The New York-Chicago World. From the Chicago Mail. From the mee of the Chicago sail this morning wassent broadcastover the city the special Chicago edition of the New York WORLD, an exhibition of journalistic, enter- prise far in afivanceof anything attempted in the metropolis of the West. Bringing on from New York City a large force of special writers and artists, the WORLD was able to present to the newspaper reading public of Chicago a complete ac- count, admirably illustrated, ofthe openings of the World’s Columbian Exposition, pre- pared on the spot. The editorial page was telegraphed entire from the Womp's home office, with the news of the world without. As an example of What a paper seeking to do justice to an international event can do, after careful inquiry into the facts we take Pleasure in reproducing the WoRLD’s lead - ing editorial on the events of yesterday, as follows: The Columbian Exposition isa truly and broadly national enterprise. The whole country has contributed to its creation, and the progress it tllustrates is that of the entire Republic. But it is tothe men of Chicago chiefly we owe the glory of the achievement. Their energy, skill, foresight and labor have done the creative work. They have utilized talent, organized enthusiasm, combined and co-ordinated the forces at command, and made productive the means which the coun - try has furnished. And they have done it all with matchiessg abtlity and ju 89... The ty they have call into bet for the uses the Fair has cost something more preciousthan money. It has cost taste, genius and inspiration, and these are the gifts of Chicago. The country acknowledges its debt and pays it with ufistinted admiration,’’ Whatever of bitterness there is in the feel“ ing of ChicagOat the attitude certain New York papers have been pleased to assume toward the Fair now so auspiciously inaugu- rated, un utterance such as that goes far to unite the two great cities of the nation in bonds of brotherly feeling once more, Miss Mary T. Connery, who is delivering dra wing · room lectures on Mexico in New York, is the daughter of Thomas B. Con- nery, some years ago managing editor of the Herald. ‘Mrs. Jos kr J.

On the walls are hung maps of her landed property, of | which she possesses an enormous amount. THE subjects chosen for public lectures by Miss Cora A. Benneson, graduate of Michigan University and member of the Dlinois bar, show what women are thinking about. One of her lectures is on the annexation of Hawall; another about Our Diplomatic Relations With China and the Restriction of Chinese Immigration. Wurm asked to give der idea of an ideal holiday, Miss Braddon, the novelist, replied that she woujd choose ‘‘a fortnight at Venice —the last week in April and the first in May— spent half in a gondola and half on the isi- ands, witha picnic basketand a volume of Browning, Byron or Shelley.

It has pleased the bigots who seek to con- vert the day dedicated to rest and recreation into a periodof penitential gloom to call Sunday the American Sabbath.’’ This designation has been made rather from necessity than from choice, since there is little in this institution that resembles the Christian Sunday. Itis surely not the San- day of the early Christians, nor is it the Sun- day of the Founder of the Christian re- ligion himself. It is the Sabbath of the Pharisees, who denounced him as a Sabbath-breaker because he did not con- form to their rigid observances or the day of | rest. The so-called American Sabbath which bigotry would establish in this land of free- dom has nothing in common with the joyous Sunday of Martin Luther. To nine-tenths of the Christian world the sabbatarian code is utterly repugnant. The only period in which it was enforced in its letter and spirit was aufing the brief rule of Puritanism in Eng land, which produced one of the greatest socialand moral reactions ever experienced in the history of men. said to be one of the best hostesses in Lon- don, and has for many years written eee mously in the Saturday Review.. ++ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller, the dress re- form lecturer andjinventor of the famous di- vided skirt, had an amusing adventure last week. As is well known dy everyone who has seen her, Mrs. Miller is not only beautiful in face, but possessed of a trim figure which is the envy of her audiences. In her lectures on feminine underclothing Mrs. Muller is called upon to make a liberal display of her grace- fulform. No male person is ever admitted to a certain discourse delivered by her during which the fair lecturer divests —. of skirts and petticoats and stands revealed in something that resembles a complete suit of tights, upon which foundation she pro- ceeds to build her ideas in chemisettes and feminine pantaloons. On such occasions Mrs. Jenness- Miller's maid does not trust to hab - hazard. but goes around the lecture hall stopping up every crevice in windows an doors to disappoint the Peeping Toms who might peradventure wish to enjoy the spec- tacle on the platform. One day last week Mrs. Jenness-Miller was delivering this particular lecture in a town in the northern part of this State. As the Town Hall was engaged for that afternoon her discourse was given in the Baptist After the audience of ladies was seated and the usual preliminary of sealing up the windows and doors was completed, Mrs. Miller retired to the ves room in order to prepare for the illustrations of the lecture. She had taken of her ordinary street garments and was about to step on the platform in comple tignts when a fumbling was heard at the door. 60 away,’’ cried the pretty woman in horror, O away at once.

The outfield he considers very strong. Lange isan Alfindand will be pores regu- larly in left. Parrott is playing the best game of any man in the team and if Decker fills the bill the infield will be all right. The pitching outfit pleases both Hartand Anson.

Leathy Glimm, colored, was fined $20 by Judge Paxson this morning for breaking a window inthe residence of Lawyer Merri- field W. Huff in Cabanne place. About two weeks ago Maggie Orr, the 13-year-old niece of the Glimm woman, ran away from home. A few days ago the girl’s aunt located her at the house of Mr. Huff. She tried to persuade the girl to returnto her, and en she refused en- dea vored to scare her by throwing a piece of brick onthe porch. The missile, however, dia not hit the porch, but struck and broke a pane of glass. The Humane Society have taken charge of the girlasan alleged victim of cruelty, but in court to-day no evidence was offered to show that the girl had been cruelly treated or that Aer aunt was nota proper person to actasher guardian. Mrs. Glimm claimed that the reason the girl ran away was be- cause she was afraid of being punished for taking a dollar which she (Mrs. Glimm) had worked a whole day at the wash tub for.

The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rallway offices; located at Parsons, Kan., will be moved to St. Louis Saturday. In November, 1688, the M. K. & T., which was part of the Missouri Pacific system, was thrown into the hands ofa receiverand the general offices of the road located at Sedalia. Later the Kan- sas Legislature passed a law compelling al companies incorporated under the laws of Kansas to maintain gen- eral offices in the State. Under this lawthe offices were moved from Sedalia, Mo., to Parsons, Kan. The building of the M., K. & 8. branch from Franklin, Mo., to St. Charlies, Mo. „ gave the M., K. 4 T. a di- rect line into Louis over their own road. and about ayear ago the first vice-president, the legal department, the general freight agent and the general passenger and ticket Agent opened officesin St. Louls. It is now desired to remove the remaining offices, consisting of the auditor local . pay. master, freight claim agen nd general superintendent, to this sity. The fourth ana fifth floors of the Wainwright Butlding have been engaged for 0 and the Parsons offices will, in defi ance to the Kansas law, be moved ‘in about Saturday. The moving will be done quietly, most of the records have already been shipped to St. Louis to evade the Kansas authorities, whc Will protest against the move. About the only things left in Parsons are the clerks and office furniture. A Clerk will be left in each one of the offices in Parsons.

What was the goog? She’d forgotten long ago how the heart ofa girl like mo hungers for its true mate, and how frightful is the thought of giving oneself to a man one does not love! Hagar offered condolence and supper, but I would partake of nei er, and I went up to Ded at once, prepared to ry myself to sleep, asOother wirls would have done in sucha Plight as mine. As entered my room witha lighted candle in my hand there came an awful crash at the window—the glass and framework were shiv- ered to atoms, and in the current of air that rushed through the room my light went out. Then there came a crackling, breaking sound from the branches of an old apple tree be- neath my window, then a scraping on the Dricks and window-ledge, then more splin- tering of glass and window frame, the blind broke away at the top, and my tollet-table was erturned—the looking-glass smash- ing to pieces on the fiddr, and I was con- t some one had stepped into the At the same moment the door behind me was pushed open and Hagar, frightened out of her wits, peered in with a lamp in her hand. By its light I saw Philip Rutley. A well-built, manly, handsome young fel- fow, with bright eyes and closely cropped curly hair, he seemed a merry boy who had just popped over a wall insearch ofa cricket Dall rather than an intruder who had broke into the house of two lone women in so alarm- ing a manner. My fear yielded to indignation when I realized that it wasa strange man who had made his way into my room with 60 littie ceremony, but his first words—or rather, the way in which he spoke them—disarmed me. “IT begten thousand pardons. Pay for all the damage. It's only my balloon! “ **Good gracious !’’ ejaculated Hagar. My curiosity was aroused. I went forward to the shattered window. our balloon! Did you come down ina Dalloon? Where is it?“ **All safe outside, replied the acronaut consolingly. ‘‘Nota bad descent, consider- ing this confounded—I beg pardon— this confounding fog. Thought I was half a mile up in the air.

And he leaped from the carand disappeared in the dark- ness. It was weird to crouch there alone, with the great balloon swaying over my head, each plunge threatening to dislodge me trom the seat to which I clung, the cords and the wicker-work straining and creaking, and the swish of the silk sounding like the hissof a hundred snakes. It was alarming in no small degree to know how little prevented me from shooting up solitarily to take an in- definite place among the stars. I confess that I was nervous, but I only called to the men who were holding the car to please take care and not let me go without Mr. Rutleg. The words were scarcely out of my mouth when aman, whom we all thought was he, climbed into the car and nhoarsely told them to let go. The order was obeyed and the earth seemed to drop away slowly beneath fore the wind, „Tou haven't the rugs, after all!’’ I ex- claimed to my companion, He turned and flung his arms about me, and the voice of Kenneth Moore it was that replied to me: **T have you, I swore I would have you, and I’ve got you at last! In an instant, as I perceived that I was de- ing carried off from my hugband by the very man I had been trying to escape, I seized the grapnel that lay handy and flung it over the side, It was attached toa long, stout cord, which was fastened to the body of the car, and by the violent jerks that ensued I knew that I was not too late to snatch at an anchorage and the chance of rescue. The balloon, heavily ballasted,was drifting along near the ground with the grappling-iron tearing through hedges and fences and trees, right jn the direction of our farm. How I prayed that it might again strike against the house as it did with Phillip, and that he might be near to succor.me! As we swept along the fields the grapnel, taking here and there a secure hold for a moment or so, would bring the car side down to the earth, nearly jerking usout, but we both clung fast to the cordage,and then the grapnel would tearits way through and the balloon would rise like a great bird into the air. It was in the moment that one of these checks occurred, when the balloon had heeled over in the wind until it lay almost horizontally upon the surface ofthe ground, that I saw Philip Rutley standing in the meadow beneath me. Hecried to me as the car descended to him with me clinging to the ropes and framework for my life: Courage, dearest! You’re anchored, Hold on tight. You won't de hurt. Down came the car sideways and struck the ground violently, almost crushing him. As it robounded he clung to the edge and held it down, shouting for help. I did not dare let go my hold,as the balloon was strug- gling furiously, but I shrieked to Phillip that Kenneth Moore had tried to carry me off,and implored him to save me from that man. But before Icould make myself understood Kenneth, who like myself had been holding on for dear life, threw himself suddenly upaa Phillip, who to ward offa shower of savage blows let go of the car. There was a heavy gust of wind, a tearing sound, thecarrose out of Phillip’s reach, and we dragged our anchor once more. The ground fiew beneath us, and my husband was gone. I screamed with all my might, and pre- pared to fling myself out when we came to earthagain, but my captor, seizing each article that lay on the floar of the car, huried forth, with the frenzy of a madman, ballast, stores, water-keg, cooking aparatus, every- thing, indiscriminately. Fora moment this unburdening of the balloon did not have the effect one would suppose—that of making us shoot swiftly up into the sky, and I trust ed that Phillip and the men who had helped us at the gas-works had got hold of the grapnel line and would haul us down; but, looking over the side, I perceived that we were flying along unfettered, and increasing each minute our distance from the earth. We were off, then, Heaven alone could tell whither! I had lost the protection of my husband, and fallen utterly into the power of a lover who wasterrifying and hateful to me. Away we sped inthe darkness, higher and higher, faster and faster, and I crouched, half-fainting, in the bottom of tho car, while Kenneth Moore, bending over me, poured his horrible love into my ear: Minnie! My Minnie! Why did you try to play me false? Didn’t you know your old playmate better than to suppose he would give youup? Thank your stars, girl, you are now quit of that scoundrel, and that the very steps he took to ruin you have put it in my power to save you from him and from your willful self.“ I forgot that he did not know Phillip and I had been married that morning, and, indig- nant that he should speak so of my husband, I accused him in turn of seeking to a me. How dared he interfere with me? How dared he speak ill of a man who was worth a thou- sand of himself who had not »per- secuted me all my life, who loved me hon- estiy and truly, and whom I @ved with all my soul? I called Kenneth Moore a coward, acruel, cowardly villain, and commanded him to stop the balloon, to let me go back to my home—back to Philip Rutley, who was the only man I could ever love in the whole wide world! Jou are out of your senses, Minnie,’’ he answered, and he clasped me tightly in his arms, while the balloon mounted higher and higher. Tou are angry with me now, but when you realize that you are mine forever and cannot escape you will forgive me and be gratefui to me—yes, and iove me, for lov- ing you so well.“ **Never!’’ I cried, ‘‘never!

Then Kenneth took from his pocket a large knife and unclasped it. I laughed aloud, for I thought he meant to frighten me into sub- mission. But I soon saw what he meant to do. He climbed up the cordage and cut the valve - line through. Now are you conquered!’’ he cried, ‘‘and we will voyage together to the world’s end.“ I had risen to my feet and watched him, listened to him with a thrill of despair; bat even as his trinmphant words appalled me the car swayed down upon the side opposite to where I stood—the side where still hung the long line with the grapnel—and I saw the hands of a man upon the ledge; the arms, the head and the shoulders of a man, of a man whothe next minute was standing in the car, I fastin his embrace; Phillip Rutley, my true love, my husband! Then it seemed to me thatthe balloon col- lapsed, and all things melted, and I was whirling away—down, down, down! How long I was unconscious I do not know, but it was daylight when I opened my eyes. It was plercingly cold—snow was falling, and I lay in Phillip’s arms with his coat over me, while he sat in his shirt-sleeves holding me. Onthe other side stood Ken- neth Moore. Hs also was in his shirt -slee ves. His coat also had deen devoted to covering me. Both those men were freezing there for my sake, and I was ungrateful enough to shiver. I need not tell you that I gave them no peace until they had put their coats on again. Then we all crouched together in the bottom ofthe car to keep each other warm. I shrank from Kenneth a little, but not much, for it was kindof him—so kind and generous—to suffer that awful cold for me. What surprised me was that he made no opposition to my resting in Phillip’s arms, and Phillip did not seem to mind his drawing close to me. Mr. Rutley has told me you are already his wife, Minnie. Is that true?’’ * I confirmed it, and asked him to pardon my choosing where my heart inclined me. It that is so, he said, I have littie to forgive and much to be forgiven. Had I known how things stood, I loved you too well to imperil your happiness and your life and the life of the man you prefer to moe. But the danger is all over now,. sald I; **let us be good friends for the future. „We may at least be friends,“ replied Kenneth; and I caught a glance of some mys- terious import that passed between the men. The question it would have led me to ask was postponed by the account Phillip gave of his presence in the balloon-car—how by spring- ing into the air as the grapnel swung past him, dragged clear by the rising Dalloon, he had caught the irons and then the rope, climbing up foot by foot, swinging to and fro in the darkness, up, up, until the whole length of the rope was accomplished, and he reached my side. Brave, strong, dear Phillip. 0 And, now, once more he would have it that I must wear his coat. „»The sun’s up, Minnie, and he'll soon put warmth into our bones. I’m going to have some exercise. My coat will be dest over vou. Had it not been so excruciatingly cold we might have enjoyed the grandeur of our sail through the bright, clear heavens, the big brown balloon swelling broadly above us. Phillip tried to keep up our spirits by calling attention to these things, but Kenneth said little or nothing, and looked so despondent that, wishing to divert his thoughts from his disappointment concerning myself, which [ supposed was his trouble, I heediessly blurted out that I was starving, and asked him togive me some breakfast. Then it transpired that he had thrown out ofthe car all of the provisions with which we had been supplied for our journey. The discovery took thesmiles out of Phil- lip’s merry face, ‘*You’ll have to hold on a bit, little woman, said he. When we get toa way- station or a hotel we'll show the refreshment contractor what sortof appetites are tobe found up above.’’ Then I asked them where we were going; whereabouts we had got to;and why we did not descend. Which elicited the fact that Kenneth had thrown away the instruments by which the aeronaut informs himselfof his loca. tion and the direction ofhis cofirse. For a long time Phillip playifully put me off in my petition to be restored to terra firma, but at last it came out that the valve line being cut we could not descend, and that the balloon must. speed on, mounting higher and higher, until it would probably burst in the extreme tension of the air. „goon after that, said Phillip, with a grim, hard laugh, we shall be back on the earth again. We found it difficult to enjoy the trip after this prospect was made clear. Nor did con- versation flow very freely. The hours dragged slowly on, and our sufferings in- st Phillip de up his mind to attempt ad rate re . What it was he would not tell me, but, kissing me tenderly, fe mace me lie down and covered my head with his coat. Then he took off his boots, and then the car creaked and swayed, and suddenly I felt he was gone out of it. He had told me not to look out from under his coat; but how could Loder? I did look, andI saw him climbing Uke a cat up the round, hard side of the balloon, clinging with hands and feet to the netting that covered it. As he mounted the balloon swayed over with his weight until it was right above — and he could hardly hold on to the cords with his toes and fingers. Still he crept on and still the great stiken fabric heeled over, as 1 8 resented his boldness and would crus m. Once his footing 1 way me he 1 to his full length, retal grip of the thin cords, which near hands intwo under the strain cat weight. I though — — I bad lost him forever, It seemed he could keep his hold, and even if he did the weak netting must give way. It stretched down where he grasped it into a bag form and increased his distance from the balloon, so that he could not reach with his feet, although he drew his body up and made many a desperate effort to do so. But while I watched him in an agony of powerlessness to help, the balloon slowly regained the perpendicular, and just as Phillip seemed at the point of ex- haustion his feet caught once more in the netting, and with his arms thrust through the meshes and twisted in and out’ for security, while his strong teeth also gripped the cord, I saw my husband in com- parative safety once more. I turned to re- lieve my pent-up feelings to Kenneth, but he was not in the car—only his boots. He had seen Phillip’s peril and climbed up on the other side ofthe balloon to restore the bDal- ance. But now the wicked thing served them an- ther trick; it slowly lay over on its side un- ioe the weight of the two men, who were now poised Uke panniers upon the extreme convexity of the silk. This was very perilous for both, but the change of position gave them a little rest, and Phillip shouted in- structions round to Kennethto slowly work his way back to the car, while ne (Phillip) would mount to the top of the ‘balloon, the surface of which would be brought under him by Kenneth’s weight. It was my part to make them balance each other. This I did by watching the tendency of the balloon and telling Kenneth to move to right or lett as I sawit become necessary. It was very dificult for us all. The great fabric wobbled about most caprictously, sometimes witha sudden turn that took us all by sur- prise, and would have jerked every one of us into space had we not all been clinging fast to the cordage. At last Phillip shouted: **Get ready to slip down steadily into the car. ss **‘T am ready,“ replied 3 Kenneth. Then go!“ came from Phillip. ‘*Easy does it. Steady! Don’t hurry! Get right down into the middle of the car, both of you, and keep quite still. We did as he told us, and as Kenneth joined me we heard a faint cheer from above and the message: Safe on the top of the Dalloon!’’ **Look, Minnie, look!“ cried Kenneth; and onaclioud-bank we saw the image of our balloon with a figure sitting on the summit, which could only be Phillip Ratley. Take care, my dearest! take care!“ I de- sought him. ‘*‘l’mall right as long as you-two keep still,“ he declared; but it was not so, After he had been up there about ten min- utes trying to mend the escape valve so that we could control it from thecara puff of wind came and overturned the balloon com- pletely. In a moment the aspect of the mon- ster was transformed into acrude resem- blance to the badge of the Golden Fleece—the car with Kenneth and me in it at one end and Phillip Rutley hanging from the other, the huge gas bag like the body of the sheep of Colchis in the middle. And now the balloon twisted round and round as if resolved to wrench itself from Phillip’s grasp, but he held on as a brave man always does when the alternative is fightor die. The terrible difficulty he had in getting back I shudder to think of. It is needless to recount it now. Many times I thought that both men must lose their lives and Ishould finish this awful voyage alone. But in the end I had my arms around Phillip’s neck once moreand was thanking God for giving him back to me. I don’t think I half expressed my gratitude to poor Kenneth, who had so bravely and generously helped to save him. I wish I had said more when I look back at that time now. But my love for Phillip made me dlind to everything. Phillip was very much done up and greatly dissatisfied with the result of his exertion, but he soon began to make the best of things, as he always did. „Im a selfish duffer, Minnie,’* said he. ** All the good I’ve done by frightening you like this is to get myself splendidly warm. „What, have you done nothing to the valve?’’ . f „Didn't have time. No, Moore and I must try to get at it from below, though from what I saw before [started to go aloft it seemed Impossible. „But we are descending. „rn?“ „Descending rapidly. See how fast we are diving into that cloud below!“ „it's true! We're dropping. Whatcan it mean?’’ As he spoke we were immersed in a dense white mist, which wetted us through as if we had been plunged in water. Then sud- denly the car was filled with whirling snow— thick masses of snow that covered us so that we could not see each other; choked us Bo that we could hardly speak or breathe, and the cold—the cold! It cut us like knives; it beat the lte out ot us as it with hammers. This sudden, overwhelming horror struck us qumo. Wecouldonly cling together and pray. It was plain that there must be a rent in the silk, a large one, caused probably the climbing of the men, a rent that mi widen at any moment and reduc the balloon to ribbons. We were being dashed s in a wild storm of wind and snow, the headlong force of which alone delayed the fate which seemed surely toawaitus. Where should we fall? The world beneath us was near and palpable, yet wecould not distinguish any object upon it. But we fell lower and lower until our eyes informed us all in an instant, and we exclaimed together: **We are falling into the sea !’’ Yes, there it was beneath us, raging and leaping like a beast of. prey. We should be drowned! We — be drowned! There was no hope, none Down we came slantwise to the water. . | The foam? from the top of @-mountain way® = scudded through the ropes of thecar. Then the hurricane bore us up again on its ferce breast, and—yes, it was bearing us to the shore. We saw the coast-line, the high, red cliffs— saw the cruel rocks attheir base! Horrible! Better far to fall into the water and drown if die we must. The balloon flew over the rugged boulders, the snow andthe foam ofthe sea indistin- guishable around us,and made straight for the high, towering precipice. We should dash against the jagged front! The balloon was plunging down like a mad4 dened bull, when suddenly, within twelve feet of the rock, there Wasa thrilling cry from Kenneth Moore, and up we shot, almost clearing the projecting summit. not quite—sufficiently to escape death; but the car tripped against the very verge, hurled Phillip and myself, clasped in each other’s arms, far over the level snow. We rose unhurt to find ourselves alone. What had become of our comrade—my childnood’s playfellow, the man who had loved me so well and whom I had cast away? He was found later by some fishermen a shapeless corpse upon the beach. I stood awe-stricken in an outbuilding ofa little inn that gave us shelter, whither they had borne the poor shattered body, and I wept over it as it lay there covered with the fragment of a sall. My husband was by my side, and his voice was hushed and broken, as he said to me: **Minnie, I believe that under God our lives were saved by Kenneth Moore. Did you not hear that cry of his when we were about to crash into the face of the cliff?’’ Tes, Phillip,’’ I answered, sobbing, *‘and I missed him suddenly asthe balloon rose. ‘*You heard the words of that parting cry?’’ **Yes, oh, yes! Hesaid: ‘A Wedding Gift! Minnie! A Wedding Gift!“ ** and then?’’ „e left us together. LEONARD OUTRAM. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Chil- Gren Teething softens the gums and allays all pain. . A PRINCELY JOKE. How the Gallant Leopold Became Dis- abled Through Helping a Nurse. From the Maachester Examiner and Times. A quaint reminiscence of the Franco-Ger. man war has been revived in connection withthe recent wedding festivities at Sig- maringen, and has been makingthe round ofthe German papers. It appears that the Prince of Hohenzollern (Prince Ferdinand’s father) then known as Prince Leopold, fre- quently during the siege of Paris called at the infirmary established within the lordly walls of Versailles to Ter after the patients. Nor did he omit to t with the nurses, most of them German ladies who Had volunteered for the service. One section of the hospital was under the special charge ofalady whoas a child had deen a favorite playmate of Prince Leopold, and this lady one day laughingly remon- strated with his Royal Highness for interfer- ing with the progress of the hemming dnd stitching. **Your Royal Highness , must join in the work, so please you, or— ‘*Sehr gut, said the Prince: “yp litry my hand at a bandage.’ The requisite materials were speedily su plied and the gallant Prince piled the need A y Ayers he could, then smilingly bowed him- * self Next day Frederick the Noble called—hale, hearty and happy—and, after making the round of the beds, looked in upon the nurses. **You’ve done it,“ he said, you've d18- abled a capital officer; you dia not give poor Cousin Leopold a thimble and to-day he can- not hold a.newspaper in hig hand, let aionea sword, There, now.’’ The ladies looked up in amazement and were uested to show the Prince’s handiwork. e cannot shéw racy nothing,’’ said the ready- witted frau- ein „We must ask for a fee for our sick and wounded, so please—’’ What is the lowest fee a gentleman may offer?’’ was the reply. ‘‘I am desperately hard up.’ Nothing less than fifty pfanning (6d.) “ ‘*‘Nonsense!

Couch DONT DELAY KEMPS Almost— HARRIS MUST DIE. Gov. Flender te Ratetaed be the Case of the Wife-Poisoner. ALBANY, N. T., May 4.—Gov. Flower has denied the application for clemency for Car. ‘| lyle W. Harris, and Harris will be electro- cuted during the week beginning Monday next. Carlyle W. Harris, whois to-day the most talked about criminalin America, was born Sept. 28, 1880, at Glens Falls, W. Y., fol- lowed various clerical occupations until he was 19 years ola, and then entered the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons—the med- ical school annex of Columbia College—in New York City. He proved an exceptionally bright student, and was makinga name for himself in college when his "college course was suddenly cut short by his arrest on the charge of having murdered his school-girl wife, Helen Potts, who died suddenly at the boarding school which she was attending. At the time of her death her marriage with Harris was unknown and no suspicion at- tached to him. In course of time various suspicious circumstances in connection with Helen Potts’ deat®became known, the mat- ter was agitated in the newspapers, and Harris came forward and surrendered him- self. He was tried in January, 1892, and con- victed on circumstantial evidence and was sentenced to death. He appealed to the Court of Appeals, but the judgment of the lower court was unanimously affirmea, ap- plication for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence was then made to Recorder Smythe, butin vain. Harrts was resentenced to die in the electric chair during the week beginning May 8, and was taken to Sing Sing on the 23d of last ‘month, When murderers Rohel and Palltster made their daring escape from Sing Sing a few days j the offered freedom to Harris, dut he sa No, I do not want to escape. I am inno- cent of tne crime of whichI am convicted, and believe the truth will come out and save me from execution.’’ This incident led many to believe that the hearing of new evidence tn the case of Harris —— being taken by a commissioner ap- Gov. Flower, would — for the condemned man, and Governor would at least commute tence to life ene But his last * is now gone, BOUND “yo GET EVEN. How Bill Hopkins Will Make His Barber Bill Even Up.

They are by no means alike though uni- * U possessing similar characteristics, isclose Another and most interesting type of vil- lages and village life may be found in the re. ‘gion comprised in southwestern Warwick- shire, northern Gloucestershire, eastern Herefordshire and southern Worcestershire, between the towns Stratford-on-Avon, Here- Yord, Worcester and Gloucester. The antiqui- ty of most of these villages is as great and their characteristics as distinctive as those of the stone hamlets of Oum- erlang. like the latter most are of stone and from 800 to 500 years old.

There are, of course, exceptions. Nowand then you will hamlets like Watendlath, hidden among ay * 5 fells between Borrowdale and Thirimere, where may be seen the sodden squalor oc- casionally met among the unfortunate Scot- tish west coast crofters and in the Irish west- coast fishing villages. Their houses are Gark and unwholesome, the floors uneven, the furniture crazy, the ‘men clad in ragged fustian and the women in coarse wool and wood- en clogs. These are sheep-herders under a later sort of feudalism. In every such Case res _ the history is, their forefathers sold their lit - ~ tle **estates’’ to encroaching land- grabbers, and their children are consequently to-day in a condition of petty serfdom. Precisely as in Wordsworth's time you will find outside the Cumbrian villagers’ cot- tages the shade of grand old sycamores and always a tall fr through which the winds sing when other trees are leafiess;’* in the rear a little orchard; an ample herb-bed; a near rill or spring-spout with its ceaseless wimple; a comely garden; comfortable stone outbuildings for grain and for winter housing of the cows and tiny but hardy Oumbrian sheep; and always the shed for the hives of bees which distill from the mountain heath the darkest, but ever the Sweetest, honey in the world. These village home interiors are no less characteristic. The floors are usually of the same huge slates as those covering the roof. They are scrubbed and cleaned until they shine like dusky mirrors. Frequently you will and them, particularly near the door and fre-place, decorated with white, ochre and vermillion chalk in figures and scroll- work embodying strange fancies in rustic art. The Hving- room or ‘‘fire-house’’ as it is called, is always very large for a cottage, often from eighteen to twenty-five feet square, low, but with the richest of old and polished oaken beams in the ceiling. Indeed old oak may be found in these Cumbrian vil- lage homes tn profusion. The long, solid table with benches at its Sides, where the ‘‘statesman,’’ his family and laborers sit together at meals and of evenings in winter; the long settle, or two-yards long seat at one side of the great fire-place, and the ‘‘sconce,’’ on the other side, under which the night’s fuel, called an **elden,’’ is placed; the chairs, huge and high and requiring a strong arm to more them; the high, narrow, sprawling-legged D@reaus; the many iron or brass bound chests; the beds huge and strong enough to hold giants, for these Cumbrians are often tremendous in stature; — are all of oak, curiously carved and wonderfully pol - ished. All this is sometimes varied by pieces of , almost as unique as can be found among the peasant homes of Brittany. this large, clean ‘‘fire-house’’ or liy- ing-room there are in all directions inviting vistas through wide, low doors and cozy stone **lean-tos,’’ perhaps each one built in a different century, to tiny-paned win- Gows, splayed d like turret windows, white with inner curtains, and in sum- mer ablaze with outer bud and blossom. These villagers rooted to the land which gave them birth not only by the sacred ties of heredity but by the, to them, more P s heritage of ownership, neither emigrate nor flock to the congested towns. H is rare rural England as it has for cehturies been, amonga type of independ- „ half-defiant folk, whose simplicity, piety, hardihood and solidarity compel genuine admiration and respect. Many of the comparatively modern villages of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire, the village homes of opera- tives in mines, mills and potteries, are far prettier and more comfortable than even lishmen would have us believe. A half dosen different religions fighting tooth and mail for their piety and pence, the * unrest that comes through almost unlimited to news- and books, and the changed stand- as ot necessities and luxuries pressed sorely upon the highest limitations of even largely increased wages, have given the villagers of thistype of hamlets an entirely different mental and material mold. I would not say they are happier for the change: but their homes, food, labor, wage and environMent are, as we measure things, infinitely superior to those of the same class from a half century to a century ago. Many of these hamlets are massed about by trees, have architecturally beautiful little churches, chapels, club houses, lbraries and the neatest ofshops. Nearly all are tidy and clean. The potters’ villages of Stafford- good illustrations of them all. access Aro - ge living-room provided with a „ hops and Jockey bar’’ for g pots and kettles, and behind this is a fine garden in the floor prises two large gives every family a five-roomed,com- detached house and garden. Or- workmen earn 2% to 80 shillings ‘weekly. It there happen to be daughters. one may bea ‘‘paintress,’’ coloring the chapter \ wares and earning s shillings, and perhaps a burnisher, earning 6 shillings village In the nana pretty pieces of furniture; while on the gmaantie or bureau-top isalways found some J 7 and with passages, nooks, niches, cupboards and presses, bewlldering in arrangement and number, Each stone farm-house and cotter’s village home stands in its own orchard, brilliant with sprays of pink and white or with Dalis of russetand gold, according to the season. | Chaffinches and robins are among the mosses in all these orchards; Diackbirds and thrushes everywhere in the thick garden shrubberies and in the tangled coppices and hedgerows. The stage coaches are here just as ot old. 850 are the carrier, the carter, the thatcher, the tiller, the drainer, the plowman, the shepherd, the common field laborer and even the poacher; all as heedless of Reform as Ouban guajiros, and all with kindly faces and Speech betokening sturdy pride in their vo- cations, which were the toil of their fathers before them. There is no elbowing, no jost- ling, no harrying or burrying. Everybody saunters, dozes or labors as though content never paid penalty to want. An atmosphere of unconstrained amplitude broods over all. Hundreds of the olden Engligh villages are surely bere in a region that knows nochange. Unless one has really wandered in rock- buttressed old Cornwall it is hard to believe that outside the picturesque coastwise fishing hamlets there is such a thing as character- istic village life. To the casual observer from the railway train, the whole face of the land seems torn and scarred as if by tremendous elemental struggies. A myriad hissing frag- ments of exploded planets, hurled in awful upper rain upon its face could have left no more unsightly hurts. But it is fullofentran- cing hidden hooks where, sloping from tagged moorlands are Deauteous little valleys with ample farms, lessening into tinier checkers of hedge and the lane-broiderea fields and these into mossy old hamlets, where the white Wesleyan Chapel and the Norman- towered parish church are the only two structures showing through a wealth of trees, but where are curious old homes and always a bawling moorland stream turning the gray, huge wheel of some trembling old mill. ä Here, miles perhaps from their ‘‘pairdner’’ work **below grass’’ in the mines on the moors, live swarthy Coden (cousin) Jack“ with scores of cotter laborers upon the farms. Wherever these village cottages are their walls are of everlasting stone, em- bowe in brilliant Cornish creepers and roses, with cement floors, and thatched roofs subject to intermipable repairs from on- Slaughts of scores of busy sparrows, tiny miners themselves, endlessly sink- ing shafts aad drilling ‘‘cross-cuts’’ and ‘‘tevels’’ in the soft and yielding straw. There is one room below; some- times two; and a half-story garret beneath the thatch. There is only a front door. A window is at either side of this, and some- times directly above these,tiny panes to light the garret. Each cottage is provided at the end or back with an open fire-place in the center;asortof range at one side, cov- ered with brass ornaments, which the housewife is endlessly polishing with powder; while at the other side is the ‘‘ungconer’’ with “*heps’’ or upper and under doors, for storing fagots or furze for fuel. The furniture though scant is honest and useful, At the ure - place are the brandes,. a triangular iron oh legs on which, over the coals, the Kettles boll, the circular cast-iron **baker’’ is set, and the fish. or meat, when they can be luckily had, are ‘‘scrowled’’ or grilled. There are perhaps four chairs, singularly enough with solid mahogany frames, \but the seats are of painted pine and are waxed weekly. These are for best“ and all the best. For every day use one or two Arms or rude benches are provided. The single table is of pine, an unpainted side for daily use, and scrubbed dally, anda painted side for Sunday. The table ware is something startling in cheap goods, for the Gipsy hawkers frequent Cornwall, and each mem- ber of the family is provided with a real **chany’’ cup and sarcer with a gorgeous gut band. For his class the Oornish villager is a gen- erous liver. The young folk have an unusual fund of games distinctive of Cornwall; mar riages provide extraordinary festivals; the dead are watched“ from death to burial and funerals provide subdued diversions with heroic feasts; leaping} wrestling, ran- ningycricket and putting the stone’’ are the principal amusement of youths and men, in Willich they excel; and their countless en- deared hobgoblins and ‘‘bugaboos,’’ which Wesley and Whitfield along with the railways and telegraph were never able to lay, draw these sturdy Cornish villagers closer together around the flashing village smithy forge, the Cornishman’s chief place of even- ing resort, or within the home-glow of their blazing ingle-nooks, during the long winter nights when the cruel fogs pound in over the moors from the seething Channel, or the tem pests howl across the dreary, shuddering moors. Practically all English village folk are laborers, whether operatives, shepherds, Wagopers, thatchers, drainers, or common field daborers, just as they have been for hundreds of years. There may be a publican or innkeeper, ashopkeeper, who is post- master or postmistress, a carpenter who is often a painter, undertaker, verger and gravedigger in one, a baker. a tailor, a black - smith anda poacher, for the latter is in every hamlet in Britain, all great oracles in their way, But three families of quo lity, and frequently not that many, are known— those of the lord of the manor or the Squire, the rector or the curate and the school- master; forthe doctor is always summoned from a near city or town. English village lifeis, therefore, found to lie within a wonderfully close horizon. I have been much with these folk in their la - bor, their diversions and their homes. After looking at them long and earnestly with my own eyes, I have tried tp get, as near as pos- sible, into their pers>déal environment and then look out of the ,/Wwindows of their minds and their habitatigus upon the every-day world about them. In this way a good deal that is not hopel-#s and much that tg grati- fying can be di ed. that an infinite standard living is enjoged than in the good old days“ whose departure the wise writers bit- ucation has certainly caused 12 r — „nnn * Ps 8 a 2 | ment. for the greater part of the .

So are the feasts and gorgins and guzzlings. But these villages ars less gross. They are better stuff. They have more wholesome food to eat, and a variety. They know something about hygiene. They insist on good drainage. In humble fashion they beautify their habitations witn- out and within. Whathas been lost in the rough and often brutal amusements of the olden time has been more than gained in and for the home. There are books and news- papers and prints init.

Telegrams from Central Kansas reported high winds and the air fullof fying dust, which is doing the crops no good. Abel Rey cabies direct from Paris that the market ls up 1 per cent and the drought is expected to re- duce quantity on light soils. The weather continues fine in England and the drought remainsunbrokenin France. Public pras- ers are being offered in the churches of Centra! and 9 ussia to abate the severity of the weath- er. Twelve persons and much stock perished in re- cent snow storins. Cineinnati Price Current: The wheat crop outlook averages poorer than a week ago. There are excep- tional instances of improved promise and many re- pests ot deterioration. Is was an unfayorable week or the crops generally. Oateare suffering to some extent. Corn where planted requires replanting. A large portion of the ares is awaiting Gry and warmer weather for planting. Hardin of Louisiana, Mo., was on the floor and he spoke very discouragingly of A 9 in his section. No improvement can de seen, said, and the wheat really looks worse now thana „ of weers ago. He told of twe farms, one of, which was across the river, nearly eves acré of wr bh has been plowedup. Thecorn planting season s ten days behind in his locality and he does not oelieve that 3 per cent has as yet been ed. The severe storm contrad 5a8 in Georgia has moved to the viciuity of New York City, producing heayy rains and high gesies aiong the entire coast.

It re- lated to more than one-half ofthe farms of that State. It showed that ofthe farms in- vestigated more than one-half were free of any mortgage whatever and the other half were mortgaged to less than one-half their value. In other words, as nearly as I can re- call the figures at this date, the total farm mortgage of Michigan was less than 28 per cent of the value of the farm lands. **Subsequently an appropriation of $1,000,- 000 to secure census statistics upon this sub. ject was made. The duty was put upon 6. Holmes of Wasbinston and John &. Lord of ‘Illinois, two of the most thoroughly compe- tent men in the country. Their investiga- tions are based on actual records and they have been completed toa sufficient extent to prove the following facts: Complete returns of Iowa and Montana have been published, and nearly complete returns of Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and Ne- braska corresponding substantially to the published statements with the general result of this investigation is as follows: More than one- halt of the Western farms are free of any mortgage of any kind. Less than one-half are subjected to mort- gages. The amount of mortgages, taken as a whole, is less than one-half the value of the mortgaged land. Half the money loaned on mortgages has been lent by citizens of th same State. in which the mortgaged tarm are. The indebtedness of mortgages of West- ern farmers to Eastern capitalists or others who do not dwell inthe same States, is less than i per cent of the true value of the farm lands in the States named. »The Western farmer is toa greater extent a creditor than he is a debtor and one of the causes of the recent emDarrassment of what are called ‘mortgage security companies’ is that the farmers who owned Government lands have lately beenable to get money at so much lower rates than those they formerly paid as to have tempted mortgage compa- Ries to loan money on speculative invest- ments having no connection with farms of any kind. These facts have an im — bearing on the monetary question. The soll sense of the prosperous farmers of the West is now being exerted and wiliform an im- fhe. mo factor in determining the quality of he * a which these creditors mean to * ar, — aware that these statements will de received with surprise. They have not sur- prised me, because my own investigation ted me to the same conclusion long since, and I aid what I could to promote the appropria- tion of the money for taking the census of mortgages, in full confidence that the result would prove that the representatives of the farming industry in the West are less in- debted than the representatives of almost any — branch of industry in this country “Finally these investigations have proven thatthe average life ofthe Western farm mortgage is less than five years. Scarcely any are in existence that have not been ne- otlated at the lessening rates of interest uring the last ye years. If anyone doubts these statements reference may made to the bulletins already printed and to the cen- sus department for facts which have not yet been puhlished., ’ The Last Contest. A list of 150 prise winners appears to-day, the names given being the successful con- testants in the Bibie contest. This is the last ofa series of a very successful con- tests and it is with some reluctance that the plan is relinquished. This is made neces- sary, though, by the opening of the World’s Fair—the contest was originally started as a World's Fair enterprise, the intention being to close it with the opening of the big show at Chicage. Among the prizes given to-day area numberof Olympic Theater tickets to see Rose and Chas. Coghlan. The theater prizes have been avery interesting addition to the list. The next attractions at the Olympic will not be seen by prize winners, but is, nevertheless, a very fine play. It is ‘Americans Abroad. It was written for America and about Americans, although the scenes are laid in France. The play has proved the most suc cessfulthe Lyceum has ever known. Some years ago Sardou wrote a play called Uncle Sam, and many people at that time regarded it as an exaggerated satire upon Americans. The present play, however, contains but little satire, and what there isis aimed at French titled fortune hunters. It touches upon phases of social life, the pursuit of American heiresses by foreign fortune hunters, and in this respect is not unlike Mr. Bronson How- arda’s *‘Aristocracy.’’ CHURCH ETIQUETTE. Bob Burdette Contributes a Few Thought- ful Suggestions. From the Sunday-School Times. The next time your journey leaves you stranded in the great and delightful city of New Chicorkadelphia on the Sabbath day, if you should go to the Church of St. Indolence I can recommend it as having the slowest singing and softest pew cushions, with a preacher to match, in the city—you will see the following „Suggestions to Wor- shipers:’’ „„Fall or slide into pew nearest the aisle. Stay they. Do not siterect, butlop. Rest one elbowon the arm of the pew and sup- ps the side of the face with the outspread the singing of the 70% not rise durin hymns. Ihe fact that you played tennis or base ball all Saturday aftqnoon or walked four or five miles around a billiard table Sat- urday night entitles you to a little rest on Sabbath r ‘*Extend your less as far under the pew as you can without sliding off your seat. Grace- fully and politely cover your outh with our hand while yawning during the sermon. fthe minister is looking at you cover the mouth with both hands, and atthe close of the yawn bring your jaws together witha cheerful snap. After looking at your watch, always turn your head and gaze longingly and earnestly toward the door.’ not move if a stranger, accompanied by his wife and daughter, attem pts to enter our pew. Permitthemto climb over your ons, ,no matter how much it may annoy x “Do not annoy strangers who may enter the church by looking at them, or even glancing in their direction. If they really want a seat, they will find one without the obtrusive in- terference of ather people.’ „At the close of service, remark aloud, but to yourself, that you are as hungry ‘as a shark, and set off for home ata brisk, trot.’’ Emoking Her Out.
