Some women in acquiring riches give more than they get A student who is reported to have written very learnedly on "Fifty Cents a Week at Harvard" is quoted as saying his chief diet was beans, the "most wholesome, most nutritious, most satisfying commodity in the fare of the world." That young man, with all due respect to his culture, was talking through his hat.

The inmates of an insane asylum in New York who were recently permitted to play a game of baseball are said to have gone through the game without once finding fault with the umpire. To the average baseball crank such lunacy would appear incredible.

It is said that Richard Croker has decided to abandon New York politics and devote himself to the task of winning the Derby, with an American colt trained by Americans and ridden by an American jockey; as anything is better than Tammany, his new ambition may be taken as a sign of a desire to lead a better life. One of the oddest spectacles In the transrortation business Is the sight of an electric car running two miles or more a minute on a one-rail track. Even if it appeared feasible, on a casual examination one would say that it was about the most dangerous form of traveling that could be devised. But the truth is the exact reverse, judging by the records of the three mono-railroads which are in existence. There is one in Ireland, another In France, and a third in Belgium, and it Is proposed now to build one in England to run between Manchester.

and Liverpool, thirtyfour and one-half miles, which distance, it is said by the projectors of the scheme, can bo covered in eighteen The. line in Ireland, from Listoweli to Ballybunnion, ten miles, has been running thirteen years, and the company proudly points to the fact that in that time there has not been a single accident on the road: The cs.rs~and the engine are suspended from a single steel rail, which rises "about three feet from the ground. The center of gravity of the cars Is below the rail, which takes away the possibility of the trains leaving the track. SWIFT ELECTRIC CARS. The Senator's exact statement on the subject is thus reported by the Boston Herald: "I think we should go very slowly in binding the country irrevocably in such matters by treaties.

We find it necessary to revise our tariffs every few years but a tariff made by a treaty can never be repealed without breaking our faith, and can never be revised without the consent of a foreign country and a two-thirds vote Despite all the efforts of the free traders to break down the protective system by reciprocity treaties, there is good reason for believing that a majority in the Senate will vote against the treaties when they come up for final consideration. In addition to, the generally urged objection to them there is another which Senator Hoar has recently stated that such treaties would take tariff questions out of the hands of the House of Representatives, where of right they should be, and would place them in the domain of diplomacy, and thus subject them to foreign influences. The club accurately states the Republican position on the subject of reciprocity and accepts it as its own by adopting a resolution declaring: "That in adhering to the principle of reciprocity as originally formulated in the Republican platform of 1900, we favor the associated policy of reciprocity so directed as to open our markets on favorable terms for what we do not ourselves produce, in return for free foreign markets." SINCE so many efforts have been made to align the manufacturing interests of the country on the side of the various reciprocity treaties negotiated by Mr. Kasson, and which bear so injuriously upon California, it is gratifying to note that the Philadelphia Manufacturers' Club has declared against them. Evidence is thus given that the manufacturers of that city at any rate understand that protection in this country must be made fair to all industries.

It was not designed for manufacturers only. THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES. There they have remained ever since and are growing rapidly. They seem to take kindly to the innovation, and at the first sign of danger they all retreat to the duster, nestling among the feathers. The problem was solved by the boy.

who suggested that the hen be killed and the big feather duster be substituted for the hen. The duster was suspended just above the floor in the corner of the kitchen and the chickens placed under it in a box. The chickens were hatched about three weeks ago, their mother being an old hen which the family had bought in market and had intended to fatten and eat. Before she arrived at the proper condition to be baked she took a notion to sit. As is usual in such cases, persuasion was vain', and she held to her determination to raise a family.

A dozen eggs were given her and she hatched out eight chicks. Of these she was very proud. About two weeks ago a number of friends from out of town visited the family unexpectedly. The problem of what to have for dinner was a serious one, as -it was Sunday and no groceries were open. It was suggested that the hen be killed, but the children were not willing that the chickens should be left to shift for themselves at so tender an age.

Seven fluffy little chickens belonging to a family living on Twelfth street, near Broadway, Louisville, have a queer mother. For the past two weeks the only protection they have had has been a big feather duster. The substitute for the mother has served its purpose so well that the family expects to raise chickens in the same way every year. OLD FOSTER PARENT. Even under the best conditions of weather from this time on, however, it will not be possible for the corn States to wholly recover from the effects of the long drought and blighting heat.

It has been announced that many farmers when they saw their corn withering in the fields sold their hogs and cattle for fear they would not be able to feed them. Such losses cannot be made up by the coming of good rains. Fortunately the wheat crops were ripened before the heated wave" came upon the fields. From that and other cereals the farmers may possibly get something of a compensation for the losses on their corn. Some of the railways in the Mississippi Valley are largely dependent upon the corn crop for their fall business, and accordingly when it was feared that nearly the whole crop would be blighted by the heat the value of the stocks of those roads fell in Wall street, as it was doubted whether they would be able to pay dividends this fall.

Such fears are now likely to pass away, or at least to be greatly diminished. The benefits, of course, reach much further than the farmers. Corn is one of the most important crops grown in the country. A recent authority states that it averages a total yearly farm value double that of wheat or cotton, and more than double that of oats, rye, barley and buckwheat put together. It far exceeds in aggregate value even the hay cropland, like hay, it forms a principal source of support for the animal food of the nation, aside from entering directly into a large popular consumption.

GRATIFYING reports come from Kansas of rains in various parts of the State." The Weather Bureau at Washington estimates that the worst of the hot spell is over for all parts of the Mississippi Valley, and that while no general rain is to be expected, yet thunderstorms will probably bring cooling and refreshing showers throughout Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. The showers will materially benefit the corn crops, which were threatened by the drought, and will doubtless save the farmers from much of the heavy I6ss they had begun to fear.

Californians in New York. In comparison with the greater international questions with which Mr. Hay has had to deal this of the Turkish claims is but a small matter. It nevertheless affords another proof of his masterly ability in handling diplomatic affairs. He has succeeded where many before him failed, and some of the greatest Foreign Ministers in Europe would be glad if they could be equally effective in dealing with the Turk.

The work of bringing the Sultan to a payment of the claims has been under way for more than ten years. Since it began several Ministers have served this country at Constantinople, but, though each was zealous in the task, little or nothing was accomplished beyond collecting evidence to support the claims and obtaining from the Sultan's Government some more or less serious consideration of them. Accordingly when Secretary Hay entered the State Department it was not expected that he would be able to achieve more than his predecessors. Many people believed that we, like the nations of Europe, would have our Turkish claims as an everlasting possession. It is therefore a striking proof of Mr.

Hay's diplomatic firmness and tact that, with the assistance of the present American Minister at Constantinople, Mr. Leishman, the Sultan has been brought not only to consent to pay the indemnity but to actually pay it. The full sum of $95,000 has been paid over to the American Minister, and drafts for it have been received at Washington. When Secretary Hay undertook to recover from the Sultan the amounts due to injured Americans he had a difficult task upon his hands. The Sultan has had long experience in evading payments of all kinds.

Nearly every diplomatist of high rank in Europe has a.t one time or another been engaged in the task of getting a financial settlement with the Turkish Government. Most of these claims are still unpaid, and consequently in seeking for the due us our Government had to deal not only with the evasiveness of the Turk but with the jealousies of European Governments who wished their own claims paid first. It is natural that men should pay more attention to matters of strife than of peace, and have mqre to say about a nun who talks of war than of one who goes quietly to work and accomplishes his ends by peaceful means; none the less the peaceful victories are far more useful to a nation than strife, and the who achieves them deserves credit for his work. SO long as the Sultan of Turkey evaded all claims made upon his Government by the United States for indemnity for losses suffered by Americans at the time of the outrages in Armenia there was a good deal of attention paid to the subject and public interest in it was keen. In fact, at one time when an American warship sailed for the Mediterranean it was rumored that the object was to compel the Sultan's compliance by a display of force.

Lately there has been very little said about the subject, and now that the announcement comes that the Sultan has paid the $95,000 which our Government asked it is treated as a matter of course. THE SULTAN PAYS UP. BUMMER AND LAZARUS-H. Alameda, Cal. "Bummer" and "Lazarus" were two dogs that were famous In the sixties In San Francisco.

The first named followed Ned Knight, one of the old-time reporters on the Alta California, from Petaluma to this city. He was a cros3 between a Scotch terrier, black and tan. and a Japanese snub-nosed poodle, with coat like a moth-eaten fur and one ear cropped shorter than the other. He proved to be a famous ratter, and became, despite his homeliness, a favorite around the markets on Clay street. For want of a better name he was called "Bummer." He became everybody's friend and everybody became "his friend.

Some time after appearance he was joined by a mongrel dog, part hound, part terrier, and the two- were always together, they having formed a sort of Pythian friendship. They visited the lunch counters for food, also the markets, and whenever there was an occasion both were in it for rats. day Bummer came to a saloon for his usual meal, but it was noticed that Lazarus, the other dog, was not with him, and that instead of eating what was given him he carried It away. This he did for several days, so he followed and it was discovered that Lazarus was sick in a crockery crate and that Bummer was nursing and feed- Ing him. This was written up at length by the reporters of the day and attracted the attention of every one in the city.

Kvery one knew Bummer and Lazarus. One day the poundkeeper scooped In Lazarus, and that act aroused so much indignation that a citizen paid the amount required to release him, and then the Supervisors on petition gave the two dogs the freedom of the city and immunity from arrest by the poundkeeper during One day some heartless individual poisoned Lazarus. Bummer became disconsolate and moped, seeming to care not how soon the end came. A few months after Lazarus went to dogland Bummer was kicked by drunken ruffian and he died In- a few days from the effects of the brutal kicking. The offender was arrested and fined $20.

The skins of both do-s were stuffed and are still preserved as relics of daira. veu Republican, City.

According to the census of 1900 the population of Massachusetts was 2,805,345. At the election in 1900 in that State the vote for McKinley was 238,866, Bryan 158,997. The vote for Governor was: Dalton, Republican, Paine, Democrat, 130.078. The State Legislature for 1901 is 214 Republicans, 64 Democrats, 4 Independents and 2 Socialistic Democrats.

5 ONE of the most remarkable railroad crossings In the world is that just outside the Newcastle-on-Tyne Central Railway station, England, pictured In the illustration here reproduced from the Scientific American. On a day when the regular schedule Is being followed 1135 trains pass over this extraordinary network of railways, which is used by the passenger, mineral and general freight trains. Of this total 675 trains pass over the High Level bridge, the tracks which lead to this bridge being those on the extreme left of the picture. The remaining 460 trains pass to and from the district on the east side of the station. The switches are worked from the signal box, shown on the extreme right of the picture, which contains 224 levers.

It is operated by a staff of signalmen, worked in three shifts of eight men to each shift working eight hours at a stretch. The crossing is spanned by a signal bridge which Is 155 feet in length, and there Is ona man for each shift stationed on this bridge. At the end of the station represented in the picture there are ten platforms. A CHANCE TO SMILE.

Here's- one, and it's true.

A "West Side woman a few days ago was boasting to a caller of the virtues of her Mongolian cook, and she emphasized the systematic methods as his especial strong, point. "John finishes his work at precisely the same minute every evening." said she proudly. "I always know exactly where he is and what he is doing at any time of the day." what is he doing now?" was asked. "Let me see. It Is 7 o'clock.

Well, he has just finished putting the dishes away, and at this moment is sweeping the kitchen. Come, let's go out and see if I'm not right." They started through the dining-room, and found everything In Its place, as prophesied. In the pantry the dishes waxa neatly arranged In their customary placet. Then they opened the kitchen door. There in the center of the room was John, and he complacently washing his feet In the dlshpan! The embarrassed mistress and her convulsed guest retired in haste.

And tha servant problem was dropped. Milwaukee Sentinel. There is of course no need at the national capital for another memorial of Washington. The city bears his name, high above all its buildings towers a mighty monument raised to commemorate his fame, and not far distant the beautiful estate of Mount Vernon, which was his home and is his resting-place in death, is carefully preserved by the nation. is now undertaken, therefore, is not designed as a memorial so much as an institution to carry out his express desires for the promotion of higher education.

The Washington Academy of Sciences has procured the passage of a law by Congress providing for the use of all the resources of the great departments of the Government for research and study by all students and investigators under such conditions the heads of the departments may specify. The faculty of the Washington memorial will aid in directing students how best to profit by the advantages offered. Memorial Association has members in every State in the Union, the aggregate being upward of 1500. It has already accumulated a and is now appealing for more. Doubtless Congress will be asked to make an appropriation if ample voluntary subscriptions are not forthcoming, so it seems fairly well assured that the institution will ere long be established and in operation.

In the appeal issued by the committee the purposed institution is thus described: "The George Washington Memorial Association has undertaken to carry out' its purpose by securing a site and erecting thereon in Washington a substantial, dignified, useful memorial building, sacred to the memory of Washington and dedicated to higher education, science and literature. Such building will form the permanent home of the Washington Memorial Institution, the 4 National Academy of Sciences, with its affiliated societies, and of the George Washington Memorial Association. It will serve as the meeting-place and headquarters of the scientific, literary, educational and patriotic bodies which meet from time to time in Washington. For- this purpose it must needs be of ample proportions, solidly built, with large auditorium, small halls and numerous offices." AFTER long deliberation the committee appointed to devise ways and means for bringing about the establishment of an educational institution at Washington on the lines suggested by Washington himself has submitted a plan and has appealed to the country to support it. The institution is not to be a university, as it was deemed inexpedient to provide another institution of that sort in the immediate neighborhood of those of Baltimore, Philadelphia and Princeton; still it will.be devoted to higher education in all branches of literature, science and art.

THE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL. MORE THAN A THOUSAND TRAINS GO OVER THE CROSSING DAILY With such coming from centers where it was believed the reciprocity treaties would find their strongest support, it seems we may conclude that the treaties are virtually beaten. When first the fight against them began it looked as if California would have to battle alone, but the longer the subject was studied the more widespread became the opposition and the weaker became the support. At present public sentiment is against them, and even those who believe that their ratification by the Senate would be favorable to our trade may still be inclined to oppose them on the very valid grounds given by Senator Hoar. of theSenate.

Such measure -takes the tariff out of the hands of the House of Representatives. It is true that a treaty" may be made conditional to the assent of the House, but. one House can never bind the hands of another. Mr. Webster was charged with a purpose of making a tariff by treaty.

He replied With great hope I know the constitution The. simpler, and easier way to do this thing is by concurrent legislation." It is interesting, however, to observe that' Mr. Bryan proposes to bolt. His clans have gathered in Ohio and will meet in convention to nominate a rival ticket This is too, too interesting. After calling the Gold Democrats bolters and warning them never to come back any more, he now proposes to bolt a regular party convention and fight its ticket and The country will look on with some interest and more amusement.

Mr. Champ Clark thinks the issues of 1904 will be made by the issuers of 1896 and 1900. We hope so. They have bungled two jobs, and can more easily bungle a third by reason of their experience in bungling. Turn Clubfoot loose on his own hams.

The Republican party will furnish the sapling. In Solano County, California, there roamed for years a celebrated grizzly bear, called Clubfoot, because of an injury to one of his feet caused by being caught in a bear trap, from which he tore himself loose. After this trying experience he lived and fed on young pigs and lambs for a score of years, his depredations being always fastened upon him by the track left by his club foot. Finally, one day old Clubfoot was roaming at will in the mountains above Vaca' and stopped scratch himself on a pine sapling, after the fashion of Highlanders. He was long and the sapling was small, and bending around it his hind quarters were brought to view.

Thinking them the buttocks of- a rival bear he immediately bit them; feeling the bite he thought the other bear was biting him, and thereupon proceeded to chew himself off down to his ears, and when he was found he had his head in his own mouth. This seems to be the programme laid out for the Democracy by Clubfoot Bryan. He is at present biting his own buttocks and thinks it is the Gold Democrats! In 1904 he will be found with his little head in his big mouth, in the belief that he was biting another bear. Major Watterson hails the Buckeye buck with effusion and informs Mr. Bryan that the men in the trenches are tired of sucking empty eggshells, and that the revolt is on and only a fool to stand in the way.

But Mr. Bryan does not propose to submit to the will of the party, in Ohio or elsewhere, to play the barrow pig in politics. In an interview in St. Louis he says: "It is a case of gold bugs trying to administer absent treatment to the Democracy of the nation." To which brilliant and indeed peerless observation Champ Clark added: "And it is also a case of the tail trying to wag the dog, a feat that was never yet accomplished, and, mark me, will not be this time. I do not know what the issues of 1904 will be, but I do know who the issuers will be.

They will be the men who were faithful to the party in 1896 and 1900." The Dervishes looked vainly along the ranks of great meu from the dawn of history to these days for one fit to compare with Bryan, and To their distorted vision he' was the foremost man of ajl time, "the peerless one," one fool called him." In no State was this craze more acute than in Ohio. Jones, Mayor of Toledo, a communist, and Monett, a Republican and cx-Attonvey General of the State, led the choir there, and it looked and sounded as if Bryan would walk off with McKinley's State. From Kelly's Island to Walnut Hills, from Cuyahoga to Hamilton, from the Maumee to the Scioto, the worshipful Democracy bent the knee to the lonesome and peerless person, and put up the money to pay him for speeches from his car tail. Sam Medary and Tom Corwin, "Backbone" Todd and John Brough, never saw such a yesty ferment in Ohio politics even in the brave days when Buckeye was an October State. Ohio pulpits even rang with pious approval of the prophet, ster and revelator from the Platte, and he was served up, with texts, like liver with bacon on the side.

This was only so little while ago that a wise child born then does not yet know its own father, and. yet Ohio has forgotten the object of its adoration. Where there was harvest heat how is the icy temperature of cold storage. When Bryan's picture was carried into the convention it was trampled under foot The silver question and the whole round of issues raised by the Chicago and Kansas City conventions were ignored. Communism was purged out of the platform, and the Republican principles of sound money and anti-silvcrism, good public credit and scientific finance, were either directly indorsed or accepted by refusal to reject them.

As usual, the Democracy camped on the Republican trail five years after the issue was decided. TO one who saw the idolatry, the Bryanolatry, of the Chicago, convention the sudden reversal in the Ohio Democratic convention is of keen interest. In 1896 the crude and unmasticated political, theories of. Mr. Bryan were swallowed without a wink and he was set upon a pedestal for the adoration of his The brains of the Democracy suddenly flowed but of its skull and left a'body swinging arms and a head making snoots and howling.
