TWO POTENT WORDS.


The Significance of ..YsuIa ,Iatarf" Among
she Congo Tribes
The words s.Bula Matari'' are known
throughout large part of the Congo ba-
sin, ana they have potent influence up
on the minds OF many of the native tribes.
They mean the stone breaker, and this il
the nanie the natives of the lower Congo
gave to Stanley when they saw him blast
ing rocks along the banks of the river
while building his road to Stanley Pool.
The name chung to him ever after, and as
it became representative in the minds of
the people of the idea Of power and au-
thority, the name is still made to serve q
useful purpose.
When Gov. Jansen, Ct the Congo
state, a while ago sent an officer to tell a
certain chief who had not previously been
visited by the whites that he must desis
from the practice of making human sac
riiices, it might not have produced any
serious impression upon the savage to be
told that Governor Jansen or King Leo
pold ordered him 10 do thus and so. He
probably would not have known who
they were, and would have sent them
word to mind their own business The
officer did not mention their names, but
he told his majesty that Bula Matari
wanted him to understand that unless he
quit killing people it would be the worse
for him. The chief was well acquainted
with that name. He regarded the mes
sage as a threat from a very formidable
person, and lost no time in making pro-
fuse promises of reformation. In his re-
lations with many of the Congo natives.
Governor Jansen, who has proven him.
self very able administrator of the new
state, refers to himself only as BuIa Ma
tart.
A while ago party of German travel
ers were exploring the region of the
lower Quango river. One day they ran
across a tribe who disputed their passage,
and almost before the white men were
aware that danger threatened they were
confronted by a large force of well
armed savages, who advanced to attack
them. The explorers seemed to be in for
a fight, but a happy thought which in
threatened danger. He shouted: I'VE
have come from Bula Matari, and we are
his men,"
The effect was magical. The leaders
of the mob of warriors called for a par
ley, professed the greatest friendship for
the strangers, and said they would never
dream of attacking the people or allies OF
Bula Matari, whom they recognized as a
very great man, and they wanted to be
numbered among his friends. The genu-
inc and only original Bula Matari had
never been within a hundred miles Of
these people, nor had any of his subordi-
mates ever visited Them But his fame
had travelled far and wide, his name was
an excellent one to conjure with, and the
fact that the natives generally are still
very anxious TO keep on the right side of
Bula Matari makes that potent name an
important feature among the political
expedients of the new state.-New York

THE WEATHER NORTH.

The great snow storm in Canada, New
York, New England and Pennsylvania
continues and promises to ''break the
record" Railroad trains are blocked up
everywhere and the falling, drifting
snow fills the cuts as fast as they are
cleared out. Trains are abandoned
everywhere and of those still ON the
road we learn that one, as an instance,
made thirteen miles in forty eight hours.
The misery Of passengers confined in
poorly warmed cars for two days, with
very uncertain meals, can be better i'm
agined than described. As freight trains
cannot move, there can be no delivery of
goods, and the mails themselves can not
be delivered over a large portion of that
country. 1t is a serious interruption to
business.
Practically hundreds of communities
in cities, towns and villages are cut off
from the rest of the world and are COM
PEELED to depend upon the stocks on
hand of food and fuel. When the storm
ceases thousands of men will be at work
IN every direction clearing the roads and
railroads SO that traffic may be resumed.
Most of the railroad companies have
abandoned in despair the attempt to
keep open their roads The snow drifts
that were cut through Friday We're as
deeply and strongly packed as ever yes
terday.

The head of the flower droops, and
the outer leaves overhanging the moro
delicate portions, the drenchipg storm
has but little power over it, and the
rain drops that touch the flower are inn
mediately thrown off. It's very fragility
is its protection from damage by wind,
the slender flower stalk turns it back to
every blast and thus safely rides through
the storm. The bulb of the Snow Flake,

THE GALA WEEK.

The Finance Committee announces
that it is now ready to report. The
Gala Week Executive Committee will
meet tomorrow night and it is absolutely
necessary that every member be pres
emit. The time is short in which to
make preparations for the festival week
but it is ample if the work is pursued
with unfagging energy. The sub-com-
mittees have been quite busy, so far "a
the failure Of the Executive Committee
to NEE. has enabled them to do anything.
Tomorrow nights meeting is the most
important Of any to come, except the last
one. Every member should be present
The counsel Of each one is necessary to
shape the programme and lay out what
further work Is to be DONE
There is far too much of the spirit
which says That's good thing. you go
ahead and do it and will cry good boy
il you succeed" We want nothing Of
that. 1t is not approval that is asked in
. matter which concerns everybody but
work and however each citizen may de-
ceive himself in Sinking work which is
for the public good he cannot deceive
his friends as to the reason for avoiding
the labor

MARKET REPORTS.

A newspaper which is compelled to
resort to such a falsehood as that con-
tanned in the following must be feeling
severely the effects of competition. 1t
is an extract from a circular issued by
the Times Union, a journal published in
Jacksonville:
The Financial Quotations, Market Re-
ports and Weekly Trade Reviews OF the
Associsted Press are the accepted stand
ard in business throughout the United
States. They are published exclusively
In the Daily Times Union.
The financial quotations and market
reports referred to are those published
on our third page. Like all other morn

There has been great deal said in the
cable dispatches about the messenger
who took to Rome the copy Of the Con-
stitution of the United States ON vellum
sent by the President to the Pope, and
the treatment Of that messenger by the
members of the American Legation at
Rome. There has been considerable
comment at Washington and elsewhere,
about the supposed slight the alleged en-
voy received. Secretary Bayard en-
phaticalIy contradicts the stories and

American Legation consists of one per-

A Dinner ON Mott street.

A dinner with No Kee, a leading i'm
porter and banker, or with Fuong Hong
Long is an event which will bear COM
parison with a banquet at Delmonico's or
the Hoffman house. The wife will take
a dozen of eggs. pierce them at either
end, blow out the contents, refill then
with vari-colored and vari-havored Gus
tards and iellies, seal the apertures, and
then when cooked paint the shells until
they are a nightmare of dragons, flying
griffins and impossible trees that look like
men, and men that look like trees. She
will open and steam a fish until the skin
can be removed without losing a scale
and the bones without breaking the fish.
1t is stuffed with an aromatic and pun
gent mass of meats and spices. Then the
skin is put back and the eyes and head
touched up SO as to be half natural and
half grotesque.
Most of her culinary genius is ex-
pended on stews and made dishes. Here
she uses every article known to the Pari-
sian chef and President Blackford. of the
IchtheOphagous club, and host of food
substances, spices, and condiments for
which there are no names in any of the
European languages. Her skill in weav-
ing and embroidering silk is equally
great With a needle no finer than that
which her occidental sister uses she will
construct dragon an inch long and
half inch high, of which not only tho
teeth, eyes and claws are perfect, but
even the pupil, iris and cornea and the
difference between the incisors and ca
mines are clearly and naturally defined.
An altar cloth of dragons IN the joss
house on Chatham square. and a moving
screen of peacocks at Mo KEGS, on Mott
street, are good illustrations of this mar
velOus workmanship and probably could
not be duplicated anywhere in Christen-

NO AMERICAN PREMIER.

One OF the most ridiculous pieces OF
anglomania and flunkeyisin is Illus
trated by the growing tendency OF the
American press to refer to the secre-
tary of state as "the premier" and TO
the possession Of that position in the
cabinet as "the premiership" These
expressions first became prominent
while Mr.. Blaine was secretary OF
state under Garfield, and they are
now revived in connection with the
name OF Senator Sherman, who is
spoken of as the coming premier in
Harrison's cabinet.
The position OF secretary Of state
under our government Is in no way
analogous to that OF the British pre-
mier, and there is no possible excuse
for the introduction Of the odious
word into our political vocabulary.
The premier under the British govern.
ment Is the responsible head OF the
administration 1t is he who names
the other members Of the cabinet. In
deed, his powers are IN some respects
not unlike those OF the president OF
the United States.
There might be some ground for
speaking of the president as the pre-
mier, but there il none whatever for
applying II to the secretary of state.
The word has no place in our yocabu-
larry. and it should be avoided by
Americans who do not wish to appear
ridiculous in the eyes of their neigh
Dor.
