1T is said that when the Southern
Pacific railway is finished to New
Orleans that California wheat may
be laid down in Europe at an ex-
pense of not over forty cents per
bushel for transportation. Every
effort will be made to turn vast
European immigration from New
York to New Orleans by direct
steamship lines, and California ex-
poets to supplant the heathen
Chinee with the Christian Circassian.

Use of Money In Business.

Wishing to know what proportion
of the business of the country was
done with actual cash, the comp
troller issued a circular TO the banks
asking for the result of q days re-
ceipts and payments by them. The
answer was:

Silver coin n................... 44O,997
Checks, drafts, etc. ........... 270,S54 ,105

of steam and electricity in the trans

Clearing houses in cities settle the
balances with little actual money.
Checks and drafts in all instances
representing money have taken the
place of actual coin or currency TO
so great an extent as TO have nearly
banished them from current trans
actions. In the year 1880 the trans
actions of the New York clearing
house amounted to the almost fabu-
lous sum of $37, ,000, 100000. OF this
volume OF business no more than ST.
500,000,000 was effected with cash, or
about per cent. Everything tends
to increase the use of checks and
drafts and to render the actual pas
sage Of money from hand to hand
between individuals less and less
necessary.

Up in n Balloon. Bows.

At Nice France, the other Sunday three
men-a professional aeronaut, an editor and
an army oficer-stepped into balloon and
shot upward for one and half miles. When
they left the earth the wind was blowing in
from the sea. Having passed through a
stratum of clouds the vOyagers lost sight of
things terrestrial for amour or more. Then,
the clouds breaking beneath them, they saw
that they were being borne swiftly over the
sea. As night was approaching the fright
ened aeronauts made up their minds to des-
cend among some fishing boats, but the bal
loon struck the waves some ten miles from
the fishermen. For four hours the balloon
was dragged about the sea, sometimes
plunged in the waves and sometimes lifted
above them. In desperation the men chung
to the rigging until they were rescued by a
steamer that had been sent from Nice TO
search for them

The Death Rate.

The National Board of Aealth bulletin for
the last week of March shows the general
health of the cities of the United
States TO be good. The death rate
per 1000 in the leading cities
is as follows: New Yosk, 29.1; Philadel-
phia, 23.9; Brooklyn, col; Chicago. 20 8;
New Orleans, 39.2; Cincinnati, 1876; st.

In some foreign cities the mortality, in
contrast to American cities, is frightful.
For instance the Mexican city of Acapulco
averaged death rate pei week, during the
month of 1897. This was the largest death
rate reported of any city in the world. San
Domingo and Cape Haytien, in Hayti, stood
second to Acapulco but far below it in the
lists. The official reports from Vera Cruz,
Mexico, note twenty-eight deaths from vel

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
His Views Concerning Large Fortunes
and Female Suffrage.

Senator o. p Davis said yesterday after
noon, while awaiting train in the vicinity
of the Union Depot, that this was his last
term in the General Assembly. But he was
taking into his retirement nothing of disgust
for politics. However, as the years creep
slowly on the duties of a Legislature are less
congenial, the freedom, pure air and won
derful beauty of his country home are more
attractive. He has in a splendid state of
cultivation more than 1000 acres of rich
Wabash bottom, and all of his time is spent
in experimenting In a worldly point of
view, he has been very successful. He has
been a book-binder. a dentist, a lawyer, one
of the largest farmers in Indiana, as well as
Legislator.
In the course of the conversation he re-
marked: THE man who comes with nothing
but fortune is poorly recommended TO
me- 1t is seldom that the query is asked,
but always want to know how the wealth
was accumulated. Large possessions are
often acquired dishonesty, besides the
example has no wholesome effect upon the
morals or happiness of a people. A man or
family feeling permanent security from
want is in the best condition, because more
likely TO be contented."

Senator Bayard on Temperance.
TRaltinore san1

In response to letter from a gentleman
OF Wilmington, Del, Senator Bayard recent
ly wrote a letter giving expression to his
views concerning the pending local option
bill now before the Delaware Senate and
prohibitory legislation in general. 1t is as
follows: II do not like to intrude my opin-
ions unasked upon members of the Legisla-
ture. / agree with you in thinking local
option laws of very doubtful constitution
atty and positive inexpediency. AS
understand them they submit a law to
popular vote in local districts, and this de-
feats the principle of our Government,
which is representative in its character
and places the whole lawmaking power and
discretion in the Legislature and not in the
people in their more numerical force
and primary capacity. If punishment
of criminals was adjudged and
inflicted by local option instead of through
acts of Legislatures, executed by Judges and
Juries, ii would be held wholly at variance
with our theory OF government, and yet to
apply such a rule to so widespread and
daily habit as the use of alcoholic or fer
mented beverages is, in my judgment, quite
as unsafe. SO far as my experience goes, a
weli-regulated system of licenses, whereby
revenue is largely brought into the public
treasury, coupled with severe penaltesfor
Illicit sale, has proved the most efficient
check upon the abuse of the liquor traffic.
In many respects the question is sumptu-
airy one, and laws attempting to establish
sumptuary regulations become inquistorial
and impossible of execution, so that in those
communities in this country where they
have been enacted they have either agra
waited the evils they were intended
to prevent, or have fallen into con-
tempt and uselessness and been repealed.
The statements have seen of the real con-
ditiOn OF those communities in which total
prohibition have been attempted, have inn
pressed me very strongly in confirmation of
these views. Personal influence and exam
pie and precept, and the recognition OF the
great truth that intemperance in the use of
stimulants of all kinds is a morbid physical
fact, both in cause and effect, is, in my iudg-
ment, the proper view to commence with.
Statistics abundantly prove that the at
tempted suppression by statutes of the use
of alcoholic stimulants is accompanied by
an increase in the use of opiates, and that
open drinking being stopped, secret drink

LOVE AND SUICIDE.
A Foolish American Who Threw Away


foo4fsh American VINO EhreW away
His Life for n Flirt-
Paris Correspondence Of the New York World.
A yOzBg American, Damed Perrin has
just comasitted suicide in Paris under very
distressing circumstances. He came here at
the time of the Exhibition in 1878, and
found SONS. employment in the Exhibition.
He was not very fortunate, but he met with
a good friend in an Englshman
who toc}f grea5 liking to
him and went with him to- London end in
troduced him to some veyy good society
there. Perrin, il should be said, was hand
some, well educated and of good manners.
Among the people he saw in England was
young lady with whom he socn fell in love.
She was a me-e iirty but she allowed him to
think that she returned his affection he
came back to RAris IN the firm belief that
his engagement was secure, though he does
not appear ID have had very brilliant
prospects. Hs-pickeo up an irregular kind
of living, and at one time did, (as many
dozens of youths have done before him
while in temporary d&iicultiesl stood as
model for the artists. This, it mast be con-
fessed, was nat of very happy omen for a
union with ultra-Brdish respectability.
Whether the lally found it out or not can
not tell, but it Is certain she gave him 70
understand thabshe cared very little about
him. A day ST two after that his English
friend in PARIS received letter from
Perrin saying that by the time
the letter was opened the writer would
be dead The friend hurried round to his
lodging, and there found him lying on his
bed in full evening dress with his arm
gashed in four places and stone dead. He
had taken every precautiOn, even to putting
basin by the bedside to catch the blood.
The friend con pleted the CHASTITY tragedy by
dipping handkerchief IN the blood and
sending it to the lady who, in his opinion.
was the cause OF the deed. The American
legation is az present engaged in active
researches for she family of the unfortunate
boy.
