Matthew TurnbuIl, of Chicago, has
an article in the current number of q
London magazine, called the Nine
teenth Century, bewailing the increas-
ing power of American aristocracy>
He says it is idle to deny the existence
of such body, for it is ingrained the
very systen, Of American Government.
1t is not only legal but it is clearly es-
tablished III the Constitution of the
United States. A Senator in The
American Congress has twenty times
the political power OF an English peer,
and the Senate is the main source of
American aristocracy. The only way
to check the growth of the system is
to stop the supplies of that fountain
head of arjstOcrats, the American Sen.

The funeral procession of Gen. Grant
in New York was the greatest pageant
of modern times.

While all other branches of our ex-
port trade has shown more or less
falling off during the past year, petro-

showed the handsome increase of six
;ty-one million gallons, with total
value of over fifty million dollars.

inspector has fixed upon the same. After
such test, carefully made, he shall state

TO rid the state of q troublesome
pest two years ago, the New Hamp-
shire legislature passed a law granting
ten cents q tail on woodchucks, pro-
vided none were killed on Sunday. As
consequence nearly every farmer
went into woodchuck raising. Since
then IA 900 bounties have been paid
and 10000 more remain to be adj
justed, and the tax payers are calling
a halt on the woodchuck business. An
other case OF over-production, under
the stimulus Of bounty.

"Photophone" is the name OF a new
invention by Prof. Bell, which will send
pictures by wire. He hopes to reap
greater wealth from the photophone
than from the telephone. Many peo-
pie think the Professor should perfect
his telephone before attending to any
new invention. The telephone is
unanimously voted wonderful con-
venience and also nuisance, that is
accountable for great deal Of pro-
family on account OF its imperfect
working.

LIFE GREAT CITY.
Almost a Trag edy-.A Barkeepel
Comes TO the Rescue.

Almost Tragedy--A Barkeeper
Comes TO the Rescue.
An episode occurred at the Theatre
Comique Tuesday night that was not ex-
actly down on the bills. Frank Robinson,
who was employed as waiter before the
theater was renodeled, attempted to shoot
a girl named Minnie Hawkes., who last
week appeared in the charmed circles" of
the first performance. 1t seems that Rob-
inson has been considerably taken with the
style OF the female. Whether or not his
act was prompted by jealousy does not
make any material difference, perhaps. At
any rate he pulled revolver and fired
once. He was prevented from repeating
the act. and, as the bullet flew wide of its
mark, no serious results followed. 1t is
reported that Robinson also made threats
of suiciding. but he did not make a very
desperate attempt to lessen the census of
the city. probably for prudential reasons.
THE BARKEEPER QUELLED IT.
A row of considerable proportions oc-
cured at an early hour yesterday morning
at the saloon of Brown Bros on Washing
ton avenue south. A party of men had
gathered during the night, and by the time
o'clock arrived was in prime fighting con-
dition. Among them were big Mack, Hank
Seeley, Little sam and others of lesser re-
nown. Mack and Seeley had feud of
some months standing. which was renewed,
Mack declaring his intention of mopping
the floor with Seeley. AS far as could be
learned the spilling of any gore was pre-
vented by Jack Randall, who mounted the
bar and vowed instant dissolution to the
man who made the next belligerent move.
The turbulent spirits were quoted and peace

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
John Rollins. n Track.Layer. Killed
blythe Motor.


Fatal accidents have been of shockingly
frequent occurrence this week. On Mon
day Patrick Cairn was killed at the Temple
Court building, on Tuesday Michael Riley
was killed by the cars in front of the Co
lumbia mill and yesterday John Rollins,
trackman in the employ of the
and instantly killed by motor.
The train which left Calhoun at 7:30 in the
morning was in charge of Conductor Henry
Detwiler and Engineer Lou Leighton,
drawn by the heavy No. 8 motor. Work
ing on the heavy grade at Franklin avenue,
was gang of section hands in charge of
Roadmaster Dougherty, while President
Small stood near by. As the train ap-
preached, the gong sounded continuously
and the track was cleared, several men
keeping on with their work on thessecOnd
track. beyond danger Among these was
John Rollins. who was drawing spikes from
the crOss-ties. He was in no danger and
went on with his work. Suddenly some
one shouted ''LoOkoutF' Apprehending
danger from another source, Rollins leaped
backward and fell on the track before the
approaching motor, which crushed over his
body. The first intimatiOn Leighton had
of the disaster was the jar, and before he
could check up the drivers and pony trucks
had crossed the body. crushing it horribly,
scattering brains and entrals about and in
stantIy ending the life of the unfortunate
man. The body was brought to the mOrgue
and will be inferred by the company to-day.
The victim was % years of age, unmarried,
and had been in the company'S employ for
three years. He had a brother living in
South Minneapolis, by the name of Robert.
At the request of the officials, an inquest
will be held this morning. Nobody can be
blamed for melancholy accident. The
engineer, conductor and brakeman are
the most reliable of the company's employees.
