New York Times: Sir Garnet Wolse.
ieY's proclamation announcing to the
Egyptians that "the mosques shall be re.
spected. and all supplies paid for"
shows that he, at least, understands how
70 treat the eastern races. A similar
line Of policy won golden opinions for
Gen. Roberts during the campaign OF
1880 In southern Afghanistan. Indeed,
just as there is no more certain way OF
earning an Oriental's nndying hatred
than by insulting his religion. so there
is no surer passport to his favor than by
showing respect for it. A strategem OF
this kind was successfully practiced by
Gen. Championnet when the French oc-
cupied Naples at the opening of the
present century. Finding II impossible
20 withstand the fury of the Neapolitan
~lazzaroni," who murdered every strag.
gler from the French ranks. and even
rushed knife in hand upon the cannon
which were being planted In the streets,
he decided TO attempt Cancellation. A
guard Of honor was placed in front oI
the shrine of the favorite Neapolitau
saint, Gennaro or Januarius. and the
couniersign given to the French SEN
tries was Reverence for Gennaro."
This WHY courtesy turned the scale al
once. The streets resounded with cries
Of aLong live the French" and the
whole native population FASTENED TO
range themselves on the side of the in
~aders.

1rs EIaHrEENrH ANNUAL roUE,

An ExhibIt by Forepaagh That ExceIs
all Previous Displays.
This is the eighteenth annual tour o.
the great Forepaugh show which in
previous years has attracted SO much at
tention and afforded such general salts
faction. This year, however, the exhibit
far excels in every way all previous dis
plays There are four great exhibition
payilions and two separate arenas, equal
in area to any four circus rings. Renz's
Berlin Circus is exhibited in connection
with Forepaugh's great American cir.
cur, affording combination of hippi.
dromie talent never before witnessed in
the United States The mammoth me.
nagerie has been increased by the add.
ton of hundreds of rare and valuable
animals, many of which have never be-
fore been exhibited by any circus in
this country. In addition to the won.
ders here displayed is the wonderful
herd of trained elephants. Bolivar -
the largest and heaviest elephant eyer
captured, forms a special feature in this
department of the show.
For the transfer of the magnificent
collection which is to be grouped under
four great tents no less than four trains
are required, and the show represents an
invested capital OF 100000 and a
daily expense of $4,000. The menage
rie, trained animal exhibition and circus
are shown in separate tents, but one
price and ticket admits to all the payil-
ions, and visitors can enter one or all
four of the tents as they may be inclined
The four tents. the largest ever manu-
featured, afford comfortable seating ca
pscity for over $1,000 spectators. They
are cool, safe, admirably ventilated, and
waterproof In the mammoth circus
Pavilion there will be a grand stand
with 10000 high-backed armchairs, from
every one of which an unobstructed
view of the performances in the two
arenas can be had. Hawkers and ped
dlers viii not be allowed to ply their
vocation beneath the canvas, and every
possible arrangement has been made to
secure the exclusion of all unobjection-
able characters. A large and efficient
force of police will be constantly on
duty inside and outside the show, and
ushers will be found at all points TO as
sist in the ingress, seating, and egress of
visitors, especially of ladies and child
rem.
A special attraction that has never
been offered before is that of Signor
Leonati. This distinguished Italian
gymnast performs the incredible feat OF
descending ct great speed spiral road
way sixty feet in height and only eleven
inches in width, mounted upon an or
binary bicycle. This thrilling exhibit
ion of skin and nerve must be seen to be
and defies description. The

As he comes out to his coupe he is sur.

"They don't annoy me at all" said the

CHE0KM4TTNG THE RAIL,
m no


BY far the greater portion of the new
Kansas grain Is being shipped by barge
lines from Missouri river points. Tho
southwestern roads made great mis-
take when they advanced the grain rates
from the river to Chicago, concerning
which the Chicago Tribune says:
"As predicted ct the time when the
advance was made, the business is being
diverted into other channels, and but
very little is coming this way. The far.
mers in Kansas and other states west OF
the Missouri will not sell their grain al
the prices left after deducting railroad
charges, and consequently do only such
business AS can take advantage of the
low rates offered by the barge lines.
Even the St. Louis lines, which calculat.
ed TO make money by the advance, be.
lieving that business would go to st.
Louis to take the barge lines at that
point, find that they are getting left, as
new barge lines have been put on al
Kansas City, and the business goes
down the Missouri direct. OF course
the two and half cents advance by the
southwestern lines is not alone respon-
sible for this state of affairs, as the rail-
rates east OF the southwestern roads are
also higher than the business can stand,
and adding all these rates together the
through rail-rates become so high that
little is left for the producer at the pre-.
vailing wheat markets"

Bishop Ireland, In his address before
the National Roman Catholic Total Alb

which have stirred up the feelings Of

sentence especially meets with disap.

Ireland are mostly brought about by In
temperance, and If they could be made
temperate and kept SO for fifteen years,
they could buy the entire island with
the money they would otherwise spend
