and plains Of the West to Colorado,
but it is through such diversified
country, affording a glimpse of so
much varied and interesting seen
cry, that time and space are alike,
annihilated, as it were, without ia
tigue or WEAKNESS. In these days
of multiplied railroads and luxuri-
Gus accommodations travel in every
direction is reduced to the maxi
mum of comfort and speed, but no
where do these conditions exist in a
greater degree than in the great
West; and to the open.eyed observer
there is charm in gliding over this
vast expanse of country, the pano-
rama of which opens out before you
like the views Of a kaleidoscope, to be
found in nothing else. Yet in this
fast age even lightning express
trains are too slow for the impetu-
Gus American who now looks for
ward to the day when "ballo0n nav
igation" will be the thing.
Our route traversed in part the
great agricultural States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and
Kansas. In all of these the crops
are much better than were realized
last year, and corn, though somewhat
backward in some sections, promises
to turn out fair opjudging from
our "birds-eye" view along the way.
OF the States east of Kansas it is
not necessary to take much note in
this correspondence. The one thing
that suggested itself forcibly to me
was the inquiry why people ever
leave these fertile and easily cult
waited States to seek homes further
west. 1t is not strange that men
desert the old thickly settled Eastern
States and the Over-croWded cities

Suicide In the German Army.
From the New York Sun.

From the New FORK Sun.
Suicide in the German army has, of late
years, been increasing at an alarming extent
and large percentage of the cases are attri-
buted to disappointment in love. Some one,
in noting this fact and the difficulty which the
authorities have had in finding means to re-
sst the progress of the evil, says the emperor
might profit by study of a leaf from the order
book Of Napoleon. Under the consulate this
same tendency had revealed itself, and Napo-
leon published the following order dated in
1901 to- the forces under his command: "Ihe
grenadier Gerdan has killed himself on &C
count Of love affair In other respects he
was good soldier. This is the second occur
renee Of this sort that has taken place in the
army corps within the last month. The first
consul desires to notify to the guard in the
order of the day-hrst, that soldier must
learn to subjugate the passions Of grief and
melancholy; secondly, that just as much cour-
age is required to endure soul-sufterings with
fortitude as to stand unmoved in the ranks I'M
der the fire of battery. To give way unre-
sistingly to sorrow--to destroy ones self in
order to escape distress OF minds equivalent
to running away from the battlefield before
one has been beaten"

OF the queen of Italy the Rome cor
respondent Of the Boston Advertiser
writes: "The queen of Italy is not a
handsome woman, but she has as in
teresting face-what the Italians call
simpatica. 1t is, however, a sad, weary,
pathetic face. Margherita of Savoy,
notwithstanding her grand old name
and blood, is not royal in appearance;
she has no majesty of presence, no
dignifed bearing or movement. Her
walk IS most ungraceful; she takes
short, nibbling steps, hesitating, as if
she dreaded trips and falls. Her ma
jesty is, however, most affable and
gracious in her manners, and has at
command any amount of agreeable re-
marks-what is called small talk
She puts the shyest stranger at ease
instantly, and gives the impression of
being a kindly-hearted woman who
would rather be agreeable than 'huffy'
to any one, especially to strangers; but
these is strong shadow and tone Of
boredom in her look and voice."

Gould and Sage.

New York Special to Chicago Times.
The Times prints Wall street yarn to the
effect that Jay Gould and Russell Sage quar-
relied. Sage, according to the Times, was
not ready to have stocks 60 up SO rapidly.
His sales of calls were made on the under
derstanding that prices would be made grad
ualy, and the sudden jump in the stock mar
ket compelled him to buy stocks at quota
tions which sadly demoralized his bank &C
count Sage requested Gould and Wander
bilt to call halt. They informed him that
''the market must go up at any expense"
Sage's call for a halt in the bull campaign was
served upon Gould and Vanderbilt Saturday
night, and the refusal of the combination to
respect Mr.. Sage's calls was promptly forth
coming. Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Sage are said
to have indnlged in personal interview of an
exceedingly entertaining character.

TIE bill recently passed by Congress
retiring officers of the army at the age Of
"a, has had the effect to stimulate the
curiosity of some of the veterans to look
up the old family Bible they have not
seen for years, to ascertain their official
status. The much neglected and sacred
old record makes General Barnes feel
two years younger-he being only SO
years of age instead of IS as shown by
the army record. General Ingalls, is also
made happy in the same way-the family
Bible making him 81 years of age instead
of SO. All of which shows that the Bible
is now and then put to practical use in
the army.

IT has been an open secret for some
time that the colored voters of Ohio were
on the eve of revolt against the white
Republican bosses of that State; and on
last Saturday the Columbus Afro
american made its appearance, with E.
j. Waring, prominent colored
man, as editor and proprietor. The
Cincinnati Commercials Columbus special
in referring to the appearance of the
Afro american, says:
For some days past there have been whis
perings here of q colored rebellion-that is,
that the colored voters, or portion OF them
were about to kick out of the traces and refust
to vote the Republican ticket. It had beer
oisedabout some time that, over in Gen. Keif.
er's district, such q rebellion was tax
ing shape, and that it was proposed to make
Jordan hard road for the speaker to travel.
Prior to this prospectus had been thrown
out that on the LIST Of July weekly paper
would be started here devoted to the
interests of the colored people, and public
entertainment was given to secure fundf
to pay for shelter fer the afore
said paper. This morning the paper-Afro
American, Ed. Waring, edltor-made its ap
pearance. It is but just to say that it was 9
great disappointment to its friends and those
who felt kindly toward the venture. The pa.
per attacks the Republican party with
all - the ferceness of a clan
of mounted ku.klux raiders. II
is surmised that alleged personal
grivance has served to augment the fercenese
Of the attack, and that little time and ex
perience will demonstrate that the country lie
not going to the ssdemnition bow-wows" Just
because this or that person did not succeed in
securing the Office he sought. Mechanically
the paper is pronounced success.

THE SIXTH WARD FRAOAs.
Not So Serious Is Rep0rted-Resisttng the
Ohlcers and What Came Of It.

Not So Serious rs Rep0rted-Resistfng the
Omcers and What Came Of 1t.
The GLOBE yesterday morning gave an &C.
count of an arrest by the police, which took
place in West st. Paul on the night OF the
Fourth. The late, or rather early hour e q. m
when the news was received precluded any in.
vestigation in regard to the actual facts, and
as consequence the situation was represent
ed more serious than 1t really was. The facts
were as follows:
A man bT the name Of j. 81. Keimer keeps q
grocery and saloon attached, in the upper part
of the ward. In the evening he had party of
boon companions in his saloon on high old
time. They were all filed up with booze and
became extremely hilarious and in fact brutal.
Mrs. Reimer, about Q o'clock in the morning
became tired of the racket and sought the aid
Of the police to put stop to the orgies. Officer
O'Keefe was on duty in that ward, and to him
Mrs. Reimer applied. The officer responded
and arrested Reimer, and while con-
Quoting him 10 this side of the
river, the gang who were in the
saloon followed him with the intention of
rescuing their comrade. Officer O'Keefe
drew his revolver and waraed the party back.
In the meantime Officer McCarty arrived on
the scene and arrested one OF the ripgIeaders
of the gang named Mccarthy. O'Kee!e was
hanging on to his prisoner with one hand and
keeping the crowd back with his revolver in
the other. Mccarthy, who is a powerful
man, was resisting the officer and O'Keefe was
unable to aid him. As last resort Officer Nc.
Carly was compelled, in self defense. to use
his club, which he did, ipficting a
severe scalp wound upon his refractory pris-
oner. 1t was simplya fight Of authority
againsta drunken mob, and to the credit of
the plucky officers, they won and landed their
men in the lockup.i earthly bled freely and
thiss together with the whisky he had i'm
bibed rendered him almost senseless, and hence
the report that he had been fatally injured.
He was arraigned in the municipal court yes
terday morning and the case continued I'M
til the 18th inst. ito allow his injuries to heal
and Reimer's case will be heard this morning.
Officers O'Keefe and McCarty were entitled to
credit for their plucky conduct.
