KANSAS TO THE FRONT.

The agricultural department has
been dealing kindly with Kansas.
Last year congress appropriated
100000 to be used by that depart
ment in experimenting with the
production of sorghum sugar. Of
this amount, Kansas localities have
just received from Secretary Rusk
these allotments: Meade Center,
$4,000; Conway Springs, $1,000;
Attica, $1,000; Medicine Lodge,
$4,000; Ness City, $4,000; Sterling
experiment station, $4,000.

SHOW tnat Enc dancing agitation
was the root of the other troubles.
The court, in passing Judgment in
the case, assumed, as a plain legal
proposition, that the contract to
teach the school, being verbal, could
not be enforced beyond the time
actually taught. He ordered that
she be paid for four months ser
vice, and be allowed for janitor
work in cleaning the school room
as it had been left by lyceums and
other gatherings outside of the
school exercises. The court also
gave the plaintiff a lecture on dan
cling while teaching school, paid her
a compliment for her literary eff
cheney, and thought this would
serve her as valuable lesson.
We do not know whether it will
or not. Taking things in this par
ticular as we now find them, what
are the facts2 Dancing is sanctioned
by the law and the sentiment of a
very large proportion of the mem
bers Of several Of the churches.
Dancing holds to-day as popular a
place in the esteem Of the general
public as it held century or half a
century ago. It is the acme Of
bigotry to say that hosts of good
people do not dance and encourage
dancing. People who encourage
dancing have the same right to
insist that their teacher be permitted
to dance as those who oppose it
have to insist that he shall not do
so. This makes the contest Of fac
tons a draw. The teacher is to
decide upon his own course. These,
we say, are logical deductions as to
the power granted teachers in this
state by law and custom.
Now, the law should be changed
so as to prohibit both teachers and
pupils from attending balls during
the school term. Custom would
then adjust itself to the law, and
great reform would be the inevitable
result. Dancing in general has a
demoralizing trend, and in no place
more than with teachers and pupils.
But, so long as law and custom toll
crate the practice, we question seri-
ously the propriety Of attempting to
make a severe example Of little
lady who happens to take Of this
question a view different from ours.
The trouble with this question is
that perfect people are far from
plentiful. Perhaps somebody is
correct on the dance question, who
ought to be, or, for that matter, is,

D1eHroN Toarnal:: The Taylor Cook

DIGHToN journal: The Taylor Cook
murder trial has at last come to a
close and the perpetrator of that
dastardly deed has been sentenced
by the Judge of the Osborne county court
TO be hanged. As he was told by the
Judge who passed sentence, his execution
will probably never take place, as under
the existing laws in this state the gov
eruor does not care to shoulder the
responsibility of ordering an execution.
Cook made long talk to the court after
hearing the verdict Of the jury, which
was only out two hours. After he had
finished his talk, the judge, in q very
able way, informed him that he was
glad he had given him the opportunity
be had, and expressed himself convinced
that the extreme penalty of the law
sh6nld lie melted ont to him.

Rich Trinity and Its Rector.

New York Letter to Richmond Dispatch.
Probably DR.. Morgan Dix stands as
the best type of the fashionable and
successful preacher in the metropolis
to-day. The rector of Trinity receives
a nominal salary of $4,000; but his
actual income from his passionate is linn
and everything he wants. From the
time when old Trinity was organized in
1897 until now it has never ceased to be
the fashion in New York. At the out
set it almost broke the hearts of the
dominies of the old Dutch Reform
church by drawing away the young
Dutchmen. who were fascinated by its
beautiful service, by the fact that it was
in English. you know" thus furnish
ing the earliest instance of Anglo
mania on record. The little fan
shaped farm which the church got
from the colony has developed into the
richest part of New York, and Trini-
ity's possessions, between the Battery
and Fourteenth street, are now esti-
mated as being worth S140,000,000. Its
great business piles and grimy tene-
ments, dingY warehouses and ariStO-
cratic-lOoking dwellings, now bring it in
a revenue big enough to run small
sized kingdom. Its rector is allowed a
handsome residence free, has life
position and is the pet of the nabobs of
Gotham and the idol of its fashionable
women. What with valuable gifts and
frequent trips to Europe, his lines are
certainly cast in pleasant places. AS
the better and more influential part of
his flock is away in the summer, he can
shut up old Trinity if he choose, and let
the devil take a holiday, or he can hand
his theological cudgel to deputy, ad
interim. His assistants receive $4,000 a
year each and many presents, thus
making Trinity the very paradise of
preachers.

A VANDERBILT VILLA.
The Palatial Residence That ]

The Palatial Residence That Is
Now Being Erected at Rough
Point.
Newport Letter to Chicago Tribune.
Rough Point, Fred Vanderbilt's mill
ion-dollar palace, as it is eloquently de-
nominated by the stage-drivers and
other local cicerones, of course carries
off the palm. 1t stands on one of the
most advantageous corners of the cliff,
where the great ledge Of rocks juts
straight out into the Atlantic, and the
view is superb across the blue stretch
of ocean to the Brenton Reef Lightship,
Narragansett Pier, Point Judith, East
River. Sachnest Beach, Easton's Point,
West Island and Little Compton, and
there are nine acres in the grounds,
which comprise the Tucker and DunneH
places thrown into one. Fifteen hun
dred feet it fronts upon the cliffs, where
the walk is open to the public. Land
scape gardeners have been at work ever
since the spring was far enough adj
vanced to allow them to make any prog
aess against wind and cold, and the
grounds are already beginning to hold
their own with any in Newport.
AS for the house, which is long and
low. after the prevailing fashion, built
of granite and brownstone, it is-well,
Vanderbilty! What better adjective
could one apply? There is large hall
in the center OF the main building,
opening straight up to the roof. and
surrounded in the second story by
gallery like that in 1.-THE Breakers"
Cornelius Vanderbilt'S establishment.
A stained glass window in the roof
lights this hall with flood of rich,
warm color, and Eliminates the beauti-
full staircase of dark carved oak, and an
enormous fireplace of granite facing the
door adds to the quaint old English air
of the whole. There is on the first floor
handsome reception room in oak. with
wainseoting four feet deep, and hang
ings of old leather, ceiling of marvel
where Cinderella might expect to see
the grandest kind of fairy godmother
come down. Only there never
could be any Cinderella in
Vanderbilt house. The dining
room is also in oak, the walls being
almost entirely covered with the carved
wood, which reaches we'll up to the cell
ing, finished by frieze of gilded leather,
the ceiling itself being formed Of heavy
timbers of oak. An eXquisitely carved
sideboard of old oak, large and sumptu-
Gus, is built into the room on one side.
All the rooms on the second floor are
open and spacious, artistically though
not obtrusively finished, and everything
in the whole establishment is in careful
taste, rich and expensive, as BELTS the
residence of millionaire, but not in
the least garish and snowy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt have been staying at
Hartmann'S anXiOuSly waiting for their
charming home to be sufficiently COM
pleted to allow them to take possession
of it. That they will entertain extern
sively this summer is probable, though
their hospitality is of the most unosten-
tatious kind and confined principally to
dinners and luncheOnS.

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.
Southern Republicans Ready to
Knife the Administration.

hnlIc INC
WASHINGTON, July %. - There is
trouble brewing in the political camp.
The Southern Republicans are not con-
tent with the treatment they have re-
ceived at the hands of the administra-
ton in the matter Of appointments.
They now propose to look out for them
selves. When the new administration
came in they asked for three or four
rather important appointments, among
them those of solicitor general and pub
lie printer. They have got none of
them, and they are not well pleased.
They claim that Northern Republicans
are interfering with their local appoint
ments, even. Seventeen Southern Re-
publicanS are in the next house. 1t is
proposed for all, or majority Of
these. at least, to act together:
to put up a candidate for speaker and
force their Northern brethren to come
to them and support their candidate or
lose control of the house. Representa-
tive Brewer. of North Carolina, who is
now in Washington, has come out as a
candidate for speaker, and his friends
assert that he has large majority OF
his Southern colleagues who will fight
for his election. With a party majority
of but three, the power of little band
of determined men is considerable.
They hold the balance of power if they
act Independently of the caucus. They
propose to go further than this. They
are thoroughly disguised. They de-
clare that they will see to it that the
South shall use her power in the ma
tional convention in a way to insure
recognition. They do not propose to
send scattering delegations to the con-
vention, but to inaugurate a caucus
system by which they will agree that
the 300 Southern delegates shall vote
solidly together"

A well known, popular and newly

his marriage, that when he settled

hours and under all crcum-

Will gave them carte blanche to enjoy
themselves, but said they must excuse
him, as he was going back to bed. The
boys stayed and made merry, and Will.
and his wife, in their distant chamber,
could hear the sound of revelry, and
the occasional pop of cork from wine
bottle.
The jewellers cleaned out the wine
supply and in jest filled up two bottles
with water, corked them, replaced the
tinfoil about the neck, put them back
where where they came from and de-
parted. 1t CHANGED that the day after.
Will and his wife had some visitors
from Racine, one of them vivacious
young lady. Will suggested wine, and
the young lady nominated claret as her
preference. 1t is evident that Will has
not served an apprenticeship at open
ing wine, or he would have no
ticed very quickly that the bottle he
opened had been tempered with, but he
did not discover it. He filled a glass
for the guest. The moment he saw its
color he knew it was not claret. He
therefore apologized, said he had by
mistake opened sauterne, and passed
the glass over to her. The lady smiled
her thanks, but as she slipped the drink
her face changed and she cried out:
"Why. it's only water" The looks on
the faces of the party must have been
an interesting study.

Origin of 1--WE Won't Go Home. "

An interesting history of an old and
well-known comic tune was given by
Prof. Ensel, music teacher, in a
speech in the Music Teachers associa-
ton Yesterday. He said that when the
army of the first Napoleon was in
Egypt in 1899, the camp for awhile
was near the pyramids. One
afternoon about sunset the band
was playing. The inhabitants of the
desert had collected near and were lis
tening to the music. Nothing unusual
happened until the band struck up a
tune, which we now hear under the
name of 1--WE Won't Go Home Till
Morning." Instantly there were the
widest demonstrations of joy among
the Bedouins. They embraced each
other and shouted and danced
in the deIirium Of their pleas
ure. The reason was that they
were listening to the favoriUe and
oldest tune of their people. Prof. En-
sci then stated that the tune had been
taken to Europe from Africa in the
eleventh century by the Crusaders, and
had lived separately in both countries
for over 700 years. This is certainly
enough to make 1--WE Won't Go Home
Till Morning. a classic. It's origin is
more of a mystery than the source of
the Nile.

MAY BE ADJUSTED.
The Northern and Union Pacific
Row Likely to Be Settled.

CHICAGO, July 22.-The Transcon-
tinental association held two sessions
to-day at the Grand Pacific hotel, but
did not reach. any of the momentous
questions which are expected to produce
sensational developments. There is a
probability that the quarrel between
the Northern Pacific and the Union
Pacific over Puget Sound passenger
business may be amicably adjusted, and
that t former will cancel its notice of
withdrawal. The action of the South
ern Pacific in giving notice of with
drawal was brought up at the afternoon
session, but it was decided to postpone
the consideration of the subject until
Tomorrow.
