sALIsBURY's PRONUNCIAMENTO.
The English Premier's Annual Review
Of Home and Foreign Politics.

Lord Salisbury, speaking at the annual min
isterial banquet at the Mansion house last even
ing, said that England's aim in foreign affairs
was always "Peace, with honor" Thunder
clouds of war will overcast Europe. Concern
ing the immediate danger of conflict, he re-
garded the vast preparations that had been
made as a great security for peace. The issues
involved in war would be SO frightful that ma
tons shrank from challenging one another.
Events in Egypt did not menace the perma-
nent prosperity of that country. The disorder
on the frontier would be suppressed. England
had entered into engagements not to abandon
Egypt until the latter was capable of maintain
ing her own government in the face of foes,
and these engagements England would as.
suredly fulfill. Referring to Crete, he did not
consider that there was any need to fear that
the present movement would lead to a Euro
pean disturbance. He repudiated the remotest
desire of seeing England in possession of Crete
The reports current to that effect throughout
the continent were without foundation
Referring briefly to Ireland, he held that the
result OF the governments action was the
bringing OF order and prosperity throughout
the country, and that if ever any section Of the
peasantry believed that their interests lay
rather in defying than obeying the law, that il
fusion was rapidly disappearing.

1rom Paris Letter.
At srecent meeting Of the French academy
N. LippmAnn presented . note by NJ q. Cue
Poult, in which IL 10 suggested that by the COM
bined use Of . photograph and an apparatus
for instantaneous photography and reproduce
ton Of the pictures obtained il would be pos
sible to reproduce ct any future time not only
the speech Of q person, but also bring before
the audience q vivid picture Of the persons
gestures and facial expression.
The procedure would be somewhat as follows:
A person speaking or singing into the phono-
graph would be photographed by an automatic
apparatus geared with the barrel of the phono-
graph. The pictures would be instantaneous.
and taken at the rate Of. say, ten pictures per
second They would then be developed and
arranged in special lantern for reproduction
on a screen isochronoasly with the phono-
graph, when the latter is reproducing the
speech. An audience might thus be enabled
not only to hear the utterances of, say,
famous actor. but also see himself and his
actions represented on q screen. About year
and half ago NJ. A. Bandsept Of Brussels ex-
perimented with a similar apparatus.

Not a Candidate for the Presidency.

The New York Star publishes the following:
Sir: An item is going the rounds Of the
press to the effect thata new weekly newspaper
is about to be established at Washington in my
interest as a candidate for the presidency. Be
kind enough to publish that it is absolutely
without foundation. am not and shall not be
a candidate for the nomination to that Office
nor to any other. There are men in the demo-
cratic party much better entitled to its honors
than am and expect to help theSbest man to
win. The item is absurd on its face and OBJ
ject to being thought capable of such nonsense.

rhrss Houorea Ladies'.

There are but thres women in the
United States who wear the glitterfng
emblem of the Odd Fellows Order of
Chivalry. One Of them is the wife OF
Chevalier William Fitzpatrick, of this
city. Mrs. Fitzpatrick Is an estimab!e
lady and is held in high esteem by the
Masonic clans. She says she joined
Palestine Lodge OF the Daughters OF
the Rebekah six years ago. She pass.
ed through all the Offices of the lodge,
presiding for two succeeding terms as
Noble Grand. The emblem which
Mrs fitzpatrick prizes as dearly,
almost, as her life. is a modification OF
the maltese cross. It is of white metal
bound with gold, and in the center is a
blood-red heart crowned with gold.
Until two years ago the decoration was
conferred only on meritorious ,cheva-
liers Of the order. At that time. at q
meeting of the grand lodge held in San
Francisco. two women received the de-
gree. Mrs. Fitzpatrick is the only wo.
man in the eastern states similarly
honored. She is of middle age, with q
kindly, motherly face and bright eyes.

Platform Of the Negro Farmers.

The Colored Farmers Alliance Of
Louisiana, composed OF colored men
who own or control farms, which they
are cultivating, heldits annual meeting
ut Alex ,ndria on the Fourth of July.
Thirty delegates were present. Among
the principles of their organization is
set forth the declaration that one of its
objects is to elevate the colored people
OF the United States by teaching them
to love their country and their homes;
to care more for their helpless, sick
and destitute; to labour earnestly for
the education Of themselves and their
children. especially in agricultural
pursuits; to become better farmers and
laborers. and less wasteful in their
methods of living; to be more obedient
to civil law, and withdraw their atten-
tion from political partisanship; to be-
come better civilized and true islands
and wives.
This embraces the. wisest principles
OF social and political economy, and if
lived up TO will do mora to raise the
negroes to their highest destiny as citl.
zens than can all the glittering gener-
alities that have ever been the theme
of noisy defamation or ot demagoyical
mouthings.-New Orleans Picayune.

War - the English Sparrow.

War q the English Sparrow.
In view Of the overwhelming evil
dence against the sparrow, the Agri-
cultural Department recommends
the repeal of all existing laws which
afford protection to the English spar
row, the enactment of laws to legal
ize the killing of the bird at all sea-
sons of the year, Snd the destruction
of it's nests, eggs, or young; the en-
actment of laws making it q misde-
meanor to give food or shelter to
the bird, and to protect those birds
which feed upon the sparrow, and
the appointment of some officer in
each town or village to destroy the
sparrows in the streets, parks and
other places where the use of fire.
arms is not permitted. The Offering
of bounties for the destruction of the
birds is not regarded by the Depart
ment as expedient.
To the general public the Depart
ment recommends intelligent, per-
sistent and united efforts to exter-
inmate the pests by the use of fire.
arms, traps. poison, destruction of
nests, disturbance atroosting places,
and any other practicable method
that can be devised. Special atten-
ton is called to the fact that the En-.
glish sparrow is an excellent article
of food, equaling many of the small
er game birds. In fact, the sparrow
is commonly sold at restaurants un.
der the name of "rice BIRDS"

High Speed On Railroads.

There are many things connected
with high speeds ON railways which
tax the ingenuity of locomotive en-
gineers to the utmost. The lines
have to be made strong enough to
withstand the heavy blows of the To-
comotive, for the other portions OF
the running plant are light in CON-
parison. A railway train at sixty
miles an hour may be compared to q
huge projectile, and subject to thv
same laws. The momentum is the
product of the weight of the train Of
12O tons, travelling at q speed of six
ty miles an hour, then the work re.
quired to bring it to a standstill
would be Ia, 400 foot tons exerted
through one minute, or nearly q
thousand-horse power, which gives
some idea it's destructive force II IN.
happily, it should come into action:
and yet this terrific power is so en-
tirely under command that the
strength of a child turning the small
handle of the vacuum brake can bring
the train to q stand in few seconds.

can be folded compactly, but yet re-
tain its shape when unfolded. These
hats are knit very closely from the
finest Panama straw, and the knitting
Of them is very tedious. They can
only be knit in the cool OF the day. as
the heat Of the sun causes the straw to
draw loose from their hands. 1t some-
times takes twelve and thirteen months
to knit the most valuable ones, which
cost all the way from $50 to s125. ~
