why Jurse Parks Was Transferred t.
Wyoming.

Why Jurge Parks Was Transferred to
Wyoming.
WA sHINGToN, January lit ap-
pears that Associate Justice Samuel C.
Parks, of New Mexico, was transferred
to Wyoming to create a more advan-
tagous vacancy for the appointment of
Joseph Bell, of New York, for Asso-
ciate Justice of New Mexico, was incor-
rect. Senator David Davis says Judge
Parks was removed to Wyoming Terri
tory at his request. Judge Parks is an
able Judge and eminently fitted for the
place be holds; but the climate of New
Mexico was hurtful to his health. On
this representation the President, being
unwilling to lose the advantage of
Judge Parks ability and experience,
transferred him to Wyoming, where
there Was q vacancy. Judge Parks was
lifelong friend Of Abraham Lincoln
and David Davis, and everyone is salts
fled with the change. If it had not
been Judge Parks would have resigned.
He asked for the transfer, and Judge
Davis presented his request to the
President and urged it. ~. .s.

How Much Population DO We Want?

How Much Population DO We Want?
Our country began the present cen
fury with a population of 5,30S,OOO ; it
has now so, 900. The increase has
been nine-fold in eighty years. The
growth in the last decade was over
thirty per cent. This rate if continued,
will give US 65,OOO,OO in 1890, and S4,-
600, 900 in 1904 growth from 5, $685.
600 to "a, 500, 900 in the round century,
and it will enable the ten-year old chill
dren of to-day, when they shall have
reached middle age, to look upon a
population of 10O,o0o,OOO, and by the
time they shall have reached three
score and ten, to look upon popula-
ton of 237,O0O,OOO. These are stag
gering figures. 1t is hardly conceiva-
BILE that our present rate of growth will
be maintained for sixty years te come,
for even if immigrants should continue
to come to our shores in such armies as
now, it would be necessary for us to take
measures to repel them. There are few
children, if any, now living who will be
willing to see 2OO,OOO,OOO souls packed
together in the country. The time will
come when we shall cease to court more
population, and shall say it is enough.

much from the comparative mildness
of the weather, warmth always being
distressing to her. Her Majesty de-
lights in cold, and a hot room or a pro-

invariably causes her to feel ill and
faint. The hot air apparatus which is
used to heat Windsor Castle is never
turned on in the suite occupied by the
Queen, however severe may be the

cit came about in this way" began
the lawyer, whose dark hair and eyes,
even now that sixteen years have
passed, bear striking resemblance
to the assassin of Lincoln. "Lincoln
had been murdered but a few days,
and the entire country, plunged in
grief, was wild with desire for re-
venge upon the murderer. My home
was in Titusville, Pa, and | was on the
way to it from Washington, where my
father was then Government con-
tractor. The route was by way of Erie.
The train had left Erie and gone per-
haps dozen miles, when a couple of
officers surprised me by putting me I'M

feet In vain 1 protested. They would
not believe that / was not Wilkes
Booth. To add to the unpleasantness
of the thing, and fact which also gave
color TO the belief that l was the Presi-
dents assassin, it was well known that
Booth had interests in the oil regions Of
and had been there a
number of times. The men who ar
rested ME did SO on the strength of my
great resemblance to picture of Booth
which they had in their possession.
When it became known on the train
hat the assassin Of Lincoln had been
arrested and was on that very train,
he excitement was intense. The Of

hey could do to prevent the Infatuated

through on his way to Titusville. AT

uriated men who climbed upon wood
lilies to get glimpse of me, and many |
lines on that journey feared that the |
mob would get possession of me.
When the train reached Curry there
vas a man boarded the train who
new me. But the officers would not
isten to him, and it was not until Titus

Why Egyptians Lack Patriotism

During my visit to Egypt-some
seven or eight years ago-there was
certainly no national feeling among the
Egyptians. Neither they nor their
ancestor, for nearly two thousand
years, had known native rulers. Dur
ing all these long centuries they had
been the spoil Of Roman, Arab, Turk,
and Mameluke in turn; from none
since the Roman time, had they receiv-
ed protection of life and property, or
any national benefits, and it was i'm
possible that patriotism should exist
among them, for there is no patriotism
save in country worth loving. The
conduct of the Egyptian troops in the
late Russian war is proof of this.
The new batallions | saw in Egypt
were fine-looking troOps-well armed,
instructed and equipped, with intelli-
gent faces and excellent physique; yet
they proved utterly worthless, as it
seems to me, because they were desti-
tute of that pride which is inspired by
patriotism for them their flag had no
meaning, its honor was no concern of
theirs Their conduct in Abyssinia
and the Soudan was similar, and no
doubt from the same cause. How can
valor and patriotism be expected from
men whose only knowledge of their
government is that derived from the
tax-gatherer, the bastinado, and forced
labor? The achievements Of that great
soldier, Ibrahim Pasha, are not il
contradiction with this conclusion
because few of his troops were Fella
heen. His conquering armies were
mainly composed of Arabs, Syrians
Nubians, Arnauts-in fact, of fighting
men from all the neighbOring part
of the East, who were reduced t
discipline by his stern will, and guide'
to victory by his great military genius

Making Rubber Goods.

The manufacturer of gOssamer rubber
garments is Il new industry. The
Washington Rubber Works has estab-
lished a factory at Elizabeth, and at
the present time about two hundred
and twenty-five men and women are
employed. The articles manufactured
are hospital sheeting, and wearing
apparel of all kinds, being what are
neatly lined with check and striped
muslins. From eight hundred to one
thousand garments are completed every
day, and leave the works all ready
prepared for market.
The rubber is obtained from trees
growing in the district of Para, lying
South of the equator in Brazil, and
the juice is obtained by making cuts
through the bark down to the wood, all
around the tree from the trunk to the
top, including the main branches-the
yield increasing with the height of the
incision. The juice, when first drawn,
is pure white, and about the consist
ency of cream. The yield is about
forty pounds each bleeding, which can
be repeated on an average once Il fort
night during u cold season, so far as
not to interfere with the healthy vege-
tatiOn of the trees during the hot
months.
The juice is poured into jars, ready
to be made directly into the various
articles Of rude manufacture, in which
form the natives prepare it for export
After certain processes it assumes {
dark color. The Para rubber is the
best that grows.

Gould a Dangerous Man.

The Chicago Saturday Express says:
1t is about time to inquire if there is
any limit to the power of a fnancier of

plundering the Erie, and has subiuga-
ted Union Pacific, the Wabash system,
the Anthracite Coal Roads, the Western
Union Telegraph, the Texas Pacific,
the City of st. Louis, and the whole
railroad system of the Southwest. He
has absorbed the telegraphs of Canada.
and he has entered upon the CONNER
cial conquest of Mexico. He is mon
arch of IL ia miles of railroad, and he
is the controlling spirit of corporations
with a capital of $646, SOC, ,OO0-a sum
equal to the value of all the property
in the State of Illinois. He is king Of

No corporation can withstand an attack

cratic and the leading Republican
newspaper in the country. He has
already taken Il hand in the ocean
carrying trade, both in the Atlantic
and the Pacific. the Pacific mail and
the Panama lines having succumbed to
him. In very little time he is likely
to control all the routes of transporta-
ton and communication on and out of
this continent
His power grows steadily, and the
limits of his operation widen. In his

Guilty interposed by the law-making

He has arrived at such a pitch of
power that he scarcely needs any Off
cial aid. Our political and industrial
systems invite conquest by CONNER
cial Gar. He is a Napoleon in capaci-
ty, in daring, and in ambition. He
works to crafty his lust of power in
modern ways, not with armed hosts.
If his schemes do not miscarry, he
will own the country. He will have
