We arc accustomed to think OF these
modern times IS days OF marvellous progress
In ell things but particularly In the matter
OF publishing. II newspapers are counted
In the es,imsts of the growth OF literature
there can be no doubt Of . wonderful In
crease In volume but the book trade and
publishing business Of A merica shows moth
log very oneeriog. Science takes an illusra
tion of tho decay OF the book trade
from the city OF Salem, Mass, the home OF
Hawthorne and many fam Gus lite rary men,
and ei'y noted for Intellectual activity.
IL used to bs well supplied with retail book
stores aud publishing houses, aud as the
free library has only been open few years
It cannot be blamed for their deosd ence.
"Yet only ono book store of any I'm portanos
remains In Salem, and that 10 largely de-
voted TO the sale OF wall papers, etc aud
expects rather 10 take orders than to carry

almost entirely into the hands OF an enter.

gone 10 Boston, for the trade Of Boston is
not 30 wonderfully larger than 1! was In

Modern ExirayaKance.

Old Peter the Great said Of France that
luxury and extravsgance would ruin her,
and ON the whole old Peter was about
right. But there Is luxury and extrava-
gance In England aud America today
quite As ruinously impressive as the reck.
less Frenchmen displayed before the
famous Russian.
We have enormously wealthy people
who have gathered their wealth from
the opportunities afforded by the rapid
development OF q new country, and
though the absence OF entail and the
great vigor OF our young nation make the
resulting evils much less than In England, /,
the social life OF the wealthy In great
cities Is fearfully extravagant. Fortunes
are lavished on dresses, and many hun.
dred thousand, spent annually for cut
6,wers, candies and various trifes, while
the ex,ravagance Of entertainment
has recently drawn EXPLANATIONS Of
amazement from 30 famous q French
man as Max O'Rsll. This will continue
as long 70 conditions continue TO permit
the rapid acquisition OF vast estates, and
1t will be checked when the Democratic
principles Of our government are more
thoroughly and sincerely applied to the
checking and controlling OF monopolies
aud trusts, and the protection Of the peo'
pie from corners" Of all kinds.
1t Is solacing In way to know that In
England, matters are even worse for the
money is largely In the hands of an arls
tocracy that shows re,sing examples
OF feebleness. AS q mild aud compare
lively pleasing specimen the late
Duke OF Portland may be taken
This gentleman got up one morn
Ing come twenty years ago with
the impression that it would be pleasant
to snvelop himselfi In my sterious seclusiou
and he began to build palaces and carriage
drives under ground. He spent about
three and bali million dollars year
and at his death lett his estate ont
Of the useless wonders OF the world
There are miles and miles Of wild
brilliantly lighted tunnels for carriages
and loot passengers. There are grea
galleries OF paintings, splendid librarie
and ball rooms, riding schools and stables
all built In u lofty and imposing architec
ture and all underground, while overhead
Is the charming landscape OF Sherwood
forest with the fallow deer and the famou
old oaks Of England. Perhaps III
British feel grateful To the duke 70
spending his income in manner com
paratively harmless, as many OF the no
billty prefer to sQuauder their million
with demoralizing effect, but to A meri
cans these accounts OF extravasauce d,
not harmonic, with the echoes of miser,
from Whitechapel and other parts OF tn
land. No doubt the duke thought tha
be was encouraging art and industry In
very modest way and so making libera
use Of his income, an illustration of th
deceitfulness OfIichts that may be groun
TOR much argument.

PnLApsLSGA. Tuesday, April .. lss.
Easter is coming. There is
a story to tell.

Humanity IS engaged IN an
endless effort to combine bust
ness with pleasure. Usually
they won't mix. Happiness is
compatible with business; an
unhappy business is pitiful.
Pleasure and happiness in our
business life belong to different
spheres.
1t would be arrant nonsense,
far fetched absurdity, hardly
less than impertinence, for the
average advertiser to speak to
sensible readers upon this sort
Of question. Not so with US.
Our relations to the commu-
nifty and the public are such
that nonsense or absurdity for
others is often sense and rea-
son with us.
Hence W, may properly say
that here we are combining
business with pleasure, and SO
constantly and variously max
ing the effort that unless you
pass often through the store
you are certain to be the loser.
10 please is a pleasure. Last
week we showed you various
decorations Of Linens. They
were beautiful, and the artistic
sense Of many was gratihed
greatly by the display. That
was your pleasure, ours to count
the growing sales. From diff
ferent sides Of the same event
come divers experiences, but
alike combining business with
pleasure.
Yesterday the Linens were
gone, some to the buyers,
others to the shelves, and the
broad aisle with its marble tiles
was unobstructed. But you
need to remember the Linen
lesson. They are all here, the
choice, dainty, aristocratic towel
for 81, the plain huck for az
cents, and all the wide range
between, and so of all Linens
In barracks just as brave as on
parade.
On dark days the sun is OBJ.
scured, but all the same i,
shines. The stocks out of sigh,
are just as real as those on
show.
/ To-day a bit of color salutes
you as you enter at Chestnut
street. It's Upholstery colo,
telling Of a big stock looking
down from second floor, north
of Transept. Elsewhere you
catch the Hamburg Edgine
hints Of Muslin Underwear
Cambria Muslin. They are
sort of drygoods tulips and Gro
; cuses--Spring messengers.
But you are the losers if you
omit a walk through the store
many days in succession.

BLACKS VS. WHITES.

An interesting game of ball was played
between the Irvings and colored boys at
the corner of Lawrence avenue and
Fifteenth street The Irving Reds were
strengthened by Johnston, Andrews and
Hartel, and the colored nine by Chas. Nc
Adams who did good work for the boys.
The score was % to 40 in favor Of the lrv-
ing Reds.
George Ross leaves for Quincy, H., soon
and without doubt, so say his friends, will
soon be in the famous nine of that city.
The Clippers of this city will tomorrow
cross bats with the Hutchinson league
team upon the latter's grounds at Hutch
lnson. The boys say that this time they
are determined to win. The players and
their positions are as follows: Perrin
catcher; Cashiard. pitcher; Conklin, first
base; johnson, second base; Andrews
third base; Owens, short stop; McAdams
left field; Pope, center field; Taylor, right
field; Hartel substitute.

BITTEN BY A SNAKE.

Last evening Geo. McIlheney, living
southwest of the city, came for physician
saying that one of his children had been
bitten by snake, and that no relief could
be given the little one by the administra-
ton of the home remedies. The child, he
said, was left in the house in charge of an
older brother while the parents had gone
ont in the field to assist in harvesting the
crops on a neighboring farm. The older
boy came running to them saying that the
baby had been bitten. According to the
boys story, the baby had crawled out Of
the house in the back yard, and when he
first saw it, it was playing with big
snake. He screamed and the reptile struck
the baby in the face. The father seemed
to have little hopes for the recovery of the
child.

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.

A party travelling over the country I'M
der the name of y. f. Williams has sup
piled himself with a stock of checks on the
Kansas National bank of this city, which
lie has been filling out in favor of himself
or bearer, placing various signatures to
the paper, and then certifying them good
across the face, for which purpose he has
procured a rubber stamp of the usual
form, affixing the name OF \. q. Banks,
VI. T. Bush and various others to the GER
tincation as acting cashier, none of which
names are known TO the Kansas National.
neither have they anyone in their employ
in capacity as acting cashier. Williams
has succeeded in negotiating this bogus
paper through banks at Colorado Springs,
Cheyenne, Ogden, Utah and other places.
Bankers throughout the west be on the
lookout for and arrest parties trying 10
work this somewhat novel scheme.

The average speed of o rapid witness is
generally quoted at $50 words per minute
Most Of the Irish witnesses In the Parnan

The official figures of the United States
census In 1870 were 8 ,929, 326, OF which num-
Der 395, 655 were slaves. A short time after
these figures appeared Capt G.. Inlay, a Vir-
gilman, published an article In which he
placed the population in 1890 at Oh 600 600,
and was therefore supposed by bis friends to
be visionary.
1t is no longer from mining but from agri-
culture that California gathers wealth. The
estimated value Of her fruit crop In 1889 Is
s2i 600 600; that Of her wheat crop, So, 900, :
600. From barley she is expected to derive
a gross return Of S., 800 900; from dairy prod
ucts and vegetables, 81 $50, coo. and from
wine, s4,0o0,ooo.
Agame Of poker lasting eighteen hours was
