REFORMS IN CHILL.
A Proposition to Have the President
elected by Congress.

PANAMA, Aug. 1.-Important reforms
are being attempted in Chilli. One project
provides that no Senator or Deputy shall
be interested in any public contracts. An.
other Is that neither the President or any
Minister shall give Office to a near rela-
tive unless 1t IS proved that he is qualified
in every respect to hold it. Another pro-
ject IS being agitated which is of more
startling character, and that is that the
President OF the republic shall in tue
future be elected by majority of Con-
gress, instead Of by the people. The agi-
tatlon CT this matter is due to the terrible
blOodshed in the last election.

LETTER or Recommendation.

Seger, the Franco-German COOK at The
White House is in high glee. The cause
OF his exhilaration is an autograph letter
OF praise and recommendation from Presl-
dent Cleveland. Tue writing Of the letter
is incident TO the coming outing of the
President and his wife, during which the
White House will afford no opportunity
for a cook to make himself useful. The
Presidents vacation will probably extend
over a month, and during that time Seger
will have to look elsewhere II he wishes
TO turn his avocation 10 acoount. There
are many private families who would
allow 30 good a cook as Seger

ENTOMBED.

The last sad rites of love and friend
ship were performed for the remains of
the gifted Miss Mamie Mitchell last
Wednesday afternoon. A large con-
course of friends assembled at the family
residence, West Fifteenth street, and
followed the mournful cortege to Mount
Holly where the grave of this lovely
woman had been made. Rev. Mr.. Ken
nedy and Rev. DR.. Buchanan spoke
some comforting and touching words.
Then when "earth had been committed

mementos, the entire grave; boquets,
anchors, crosses with other floral devices

ART AND SCIENCE.

A Philadelphia thinks that Grahams
experiment with his barrel in the Niagara
whirlpool may be of practical benefit.
His idea is that seagoing vessels might
be equipped with one or more such casks,
which, in case of wreck on a surf-beaten
coast, might be the means of establishing
communication between the vessel and
the shore.
Pictures are necessity in house as
much as furniture any successful bust
ness man must recognize this fact. It is
not merely question of his tastes, but
the want of pictures makes his home un-
finished. He knows it also from the
fact that his home does not look as hand.
some as his neighbours, who may be
poorer, but is more artistic. Yet the
business man has five thousand dollars
worth more furniture than that same
neighbor.
An interesting experiment showing the
influence of electricity on the growth of
roots has been made in Germany by
Professor Holdefeiss. Plates of copper
were thrust upright into the earth and
connected by wires with similarly placed
zinc plates about one hundred feet dis
tant-an electric battery being thus
formed, with the earth between the cop
per and zinc in the circuit Both pota-
toes and beets planted between such
plates gave an increased yield-beets
fifteen per cent, potatoes twenty-five per
cent-as compared with other parts of

What a country this will be when the
olive becomes established here as in
Italy Atpresent it is not abundant, for
the olive is a slower grower as compar-
ed with other things here, and so the
planters have been slow to cultivate it.
Yet believe that now almost every
ranch has more or less olive trees grow
ing; for there is great demand not
only for the OIL but also for the olive
itself.
1t begins to look as if olive oil may
take the place of butter out here after
awhile. Fancy group of little children
on farmers porch, with bread in hand,
dripping it into dish of olive oil. The
scene is so frequent here that | asked
woman not long ago why she did not
give her children butter on their bread
instead.
She answered me that her children
would not eat butter if they could get
olive oil to sop their bread in. And I
think they are about right. have found
myself more than once preterring olive
oil to butter here. And the butter is of
tie best. But any one who has a taste
for picked olives, either natural or &C
quired, will find himself becoming very
partial to the oil of olives.
Yet never before did find this taste
for olive oil so supreme. Even in Italy
and Spain and Palestine, places where
there is no butter fit to eat, | did not
care for olive oil. But this here is so
superior to that of all other lands that,
as I said before, I suspect it may drive
out the use of butter to some extent The
people here eat their picked olives with
great relish. The plate of little purple
olives is ever present on the table, and is
soon emptied. This purple or black
olive is new invasion of the old custom.
And just why anybody ever picked the
olive green do not know. Certainly
no one who ever ate purple or ripe
olive would ever eat a green one. May
be the olive was put up green in Spain
and Italy for better transportation. Be
that as it may, desire to call attention

reviews the school statistics of his term
and shows that twenty per cent of the
children of school age are not enrolled in
the Public schools, while thirty-five to
thirty-seven per cent of those enrolled
do not attend regularly; and urges that
something be done to promote the efiicien-

local taxes, which increases the sum

UNFOLDING LIE LAW.

y surprising incident of the disturbance
on our streets, last Saturday evening.
was the vigorous advocacy of Mr.. Steele's
cause by number of respectable citi-
zens. OF course there were reasons for
sympathizing with him when his side of
the story was known. but that was no
excuse for upholding him in his resist
ance of the officers. 1t is the part of all
good citizens to assist officers who are
trying to do what they believe is their
duty. and it is none of the citizens bus
mess to Judge whether the officers are
right or wrong in a particular instance.
If the officers err, the law provides a
remedy for the person or persons who
may receive injuries at their hands. But
in the performance of their functions as
guardians of the community the officers
are entitled to the support of the COM
munity: every good citizen should let
them alone or aid them. as the circum-
stances require. and then let the court
decide the merits of the case. Failure to
support officers will surely bring both
the law and its officers into CONTEMPT.

fire, or lightning, shall be taken to be the
amount of the loss, providing there be
