Perhaps some day the propriety will
DO seen Of no longer calling the en-
peror Of Russia the GEAR" It is a
title but little used In Russia The
emperor styles himself '.imperator, "
which is a much higher title than that
Of ''czar;" and when, In 1918, Alex
ander / received at the congress Of vi
emma the title Of king Of Poland, the
accepted Russian equivalent to the
title liking" was 'czar." Peter the
Great made a determined diplomatic
Hght in order to obtain his recognition
as emperor, and this was at last con-
coded to him by the English, partly
because, for commercial purposes,
we wanted his alliance, partly because
some member Of the Russian embassy
in London had been imprisoned or
otherwise ~maltreated, 30 that it was
thought desirable to make by way of
compensation the concession Peter 30
much desired. If, however, we insist
upon calling the emperor Of Russia
the car (his own subjects call him,
among tho educated classes, temper
or" and among the peasantry "gos-
sondar," or lord) we might at least
write the name as 1t is pronounced,
and spell II not In Polish or Hunga-
risn fashion, but as the simplest trans
laton from Russian into English de-
mands. The word is pronounced
''tsar," and the first letter Of the word
in Russian corresponds precisely to
our "ts."-St Stephens Review.

CoIonist s~Ieepers.

The Union Pacific Ry.. also known as
The Overland Route, has lately added to
its service a number of new cars (which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers, and which for convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first. class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies' and
gentlemen. At night. by means of slid
ing ~headboards and heavy danask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular frst-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and a good supply Of
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers. and no smoking is al
lowed. 1t certainly seems that tor cheap
and comodious sleeping accomodations,
while travelling these cars cannot be eI-
celled.

sARNUM's LITTLE JOKE.
How Tie G"i the Hotel Man Angry About
the Quality of His Pepper.

How Tie Goi the Hotel Man Angry Abou,
the Quality Of His Pepper.
Paul Smith and Barnum are bosom
friends They spend many pleasant
hours together. But the ever viva
cious Snowman must have his practi-
cal jokes, and even his friend Paul
was made one OF his victims last week.
These two celebrities met on the
grand piazza after breakfast and pass
ing the usual morning greeting Paul
Smith said: We'll, friend Barnum,
how do you find things here this
year7"
81 am delighted as usual" replied
he cheerful Snowman, land / par
tcularly admire your enterprise in
erecting so many new cottages, and
in introducing running water and
steam heating into your big hotel"
Glad 10 hear you like it." said
Paul. Praises from a mar of your
years and experience give me a new
heart and courage. But / will thank
you still more heartily il you will
frankly tell me whenever you discov-
er anything about my hotel that is net
clean up TO the highest mark. | am
as proud Of providing the very best Of
everything as you are in your big
show
That's right" responded Barnum,
"a true friend will always tell us our
faults. And this reminds me that
there is one thing thru | noticed on
your table which ! thought | ought to
mention 10 you. You know thai
most of our food and drinks are adul
terated. Yours l have generally found
fresh and pure, but thetground black
pepper on your table Is largely mixed
with peas"
"You-dont say sof' exclaimed the
old pioneer. why, l buy all my
groceries from -, the whole
sale dealers in New York, and they
stand high for goods of pure quality"
Cant help it, said Barnum, ''you
investigate il, and I'll give you 500
il you don't find all your so called
pepper is at least one-half peas"
Il will write my grocers today and
give them fits. Half peas indeedl
That reminds me that thirty-three
years ago / ran n boat from New York
to st. Johns, Canada. l often brought
cargoes of peas from st. Johns and de-
Iyered them TO the large coffee deal
ers in New York. But these grocers
shall not swindle me-"
Paul Smiths son Immediately wrote
a letter from his fathers dictation,
blowing his grocers sky high for sell
ing him adulterated pepper. BE told
them that p. T. Barnum declared il
was at least half peas, and threatened
them with instant withdrawal of his
patronage if they did not Immediately
send him a box of pure ground pepper
without a single pea in it.
Three days afterward Paul received
an answer from his grocers, in which
they humbly asked his pardon. They
confessed that there were peas in their
pepper, yer to the extent charged by
Mr.. Barnum, but they cautioned him
to look out for that merry old wag of
a Snowman, and to carefully spell
pepper" assuring him that the pur-
est specimen in market consisted of
half P's.
Paul Smith was astounded, but he
took the joke in good part. In reply
70 the laughter and jeers of his guests,
he replied:
81 am sorry friend Barnum is a tenn
perance man, otherwise 1 would be
glad to stand a basket or two of cham
payne. "-Adirondack Cor. Bridgeport

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The recent furry in Wall street values,
while importing the plans of stock specu
%lators, has had but small hurtful influence
on the general industrial and trade move
ments Of the country. The Chicago Tn.
Jtne takes a hopeful view of the business
situation. 1t says:
Money for the purposes of trade has
not been lacking. although discount rates
have nowhere been low, 6 per cent being
the basis for most commercial loans, even
has steadily gained. both in volume Of
business and in prices obtained for pro-
ducts, and it Is a fair inference from the
way orders come in for future delivery
that the coming year is to witness an un-
parslleled growth of manufacturing in
the south and west. Steel rails for next
years delivery are now held at $50 q ton,
large orders being expected from western
railroads on account of repairs and from
southern roads on account of new con-
struction.
Outside of Wall street, in fact, 1t is
not possible to find any grounds for
anxiety, and there need be little fear that
a panic in Wall. street will have broad or
permant iD-results. 1t cannot be denied
that the peace of Wall street is menaced
from various quarters. Gold to the
amount of 81. 500, 900 was taken from
New York last week on British orders
and will be shipped to South America.
Further shipments are not expected, but
none was expected a week ago. The Ar
g%entine Republican is believed to be on
the verge OF a financial and commercial
revulsion which will wreck many millions
Of English capital. The domestic cur
rency of that country has been
inflated until gold is at a pre-
MUM of 100 per cent, and a big bubble
of railway and land speculation is wait
ing to be pricked. Wall street cannot
view this condition of things with in
difference, for a panic In the Argentine
Republic will disturb the normal move
ments of gold, the international currency,
and this country's hord may be greatly
depleted.
Tie weak holders Of stocks, who have
already been forced to throw over such
properties as the Atchison and the trusts,
will certainly empty their hands at the
first indication of a prolonged drain upon
the country's specie. With the present
scant supply of money. and with the GER
tainty ahead that industry and trade are
Roing-to find good use for all the country's
available cash during the next few weeks,
50 that funds Jill not begin to accumulate
In Now York until after Jan. /, the
strength of the owners OF stocks Is to be
thoroughly tested even if events shape
themselves most favorably. The unex-
pected may happen, but the chances are
that the unexpected will be hostile to the
interests OF spectators.
I'm marked contrast to the weak SON.
diuon OF the New York banks the Chi
cago banks, right in the midst Of their
most active seaaon, make a showing which
may give their managers pride and their
patrons satisfaction. The statements of
the twenty-one national banks of this
city reveal a steady expansion of business
since midsummer and no impairment of
their resources"
The fact that Wall street can be ratified
and not cause general alarm throughout
the country may be considered a matter
Of much satisfaction and points to the

SIR JULIAN BEHIND THE SCENES.
The British Minist or Sees the Actresses
and Chorus Girls at Rehearsal.

Inc BrlGlsn MINISTER sees inc Actresses
and Chorus Girls at Rehearsal.
From the Washington Post.
Nowhere does Sir Julian seen so per-
fectly at home as at the 25-cent summer
opera While Miss Lamont was singing at
Abaugh's he was to be seen almost nightly
in what is irreverently known as the aid
head row, and when the curtain descended
at ne close of an act the envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary
grabbed his hat, squeezed past the othe oc-
cupants Of the row, and made bse-line up
the aisle with genuine American indie
Dendence.
All this, however, was but the prelude to
the latest cident in Sir Juians brief, but
emilently peasant sojourn in Washin ton.
Last Monday morning he was at the re-
heIrsal of the phomps N Opera Company,
chatted with the prina donna, had a pleas
ant word for the chorus girls, and for he
time being created quite a hutter on the
stage.
The way it all happened can be very
briefly told Last Sunday morning Sir
Julian presented himself at the box office of
the National theater aud wanted u buv

tendant and knew it all. That is, he had
seen from afar off in the front row, and
mad been SO pleased nat he thought he
would ike to meet Miss Wi ston.
Through the half open doors of the theater
came 10 sound OF voices, ooh, yes" said
the manager, the rehearsal is on now. Let's
go in.'
And go in they did Around the side of
the empty, daylight house, behind the boxes,
AID into the wings, the manager an he
Elghshmau picked their way and finally
stood before Mi Winston.
Miss Jeanuje Winston, Sir Julian
Pauncaforte," said the manager
I'D -lGnted to meat you,n said Sir Julian
with a smile, as if he was pleased with his
experience
The CHORUS girls gazed at the distin-
gulS ed-looking gentleman with wide-open
eyes, aud the scene suffers m de as little
noise as possible, so That her maieSty's mi -
lister might net be interrupted in his con-
versatlon. Nor was ST. Julian in the least
