Come here, quick. I've brought you some
lovely fruit the first on the market"
'All right I'm dressing. I'll come out as
soon as get ready"
She dressed leisurly and came out of her
room. The count was sitting reading, deeply
interested in his work. She looked around
No fruit was to be seen. She looked all over
the place. The count looked up.
What are you looking for?"
"Where's that fruit?"
The count looked on the table. II was not
there.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph. May 1.
The law against importing labor under con-
tract, said surveyor OF the Port Campbell to-
day, lis mere farce as long as no means are
provided to enforce it. If man comes to this
country under contract to engage in an occu-
patton, he is asked the,questiOn whether he is
or is not under contract, and if he says he is
not, II devolves on the government and its
agents to prove that he is lying. If this can't
be done, the man goes free. There is no law
that will put man in Jail for lying. These
men are posted about the law before they leave
the other side. They know that there is no pub
lie penalty for lying. and that all they have got
to do is to lie about it. If their answers to
official inquiry had the obligation of an oath
attached to it, it would be different The
risk Of mourning the penalty for perjury
is too serious to be triied with. and if the
law clothed us with power to administer an
oath, or required that an oath should be taken
IN the proper form, it would change the whole
aspect OF the case at once SO far the becom-
ing effective is concerned. As it is now, it is a

man comes here and says he has 10 work or
no prospect of any, the immigrant commission
ers send him back, under the lawcrea ting their
authority, as apauper. If he says he has work

here, we send him back under the contract
law. 1t Is rather curious, isn't il? Ii these two
laws were carried out to q strict letter it would

The pharmacists throughout Illinois
or great majority Of them, are OPP
posed to the present pharmacy law,
and the bill introduced in the State
Senate to repeal the act is likely to
receive hearty support. The history
of the law is given as follows in q
circular:
About four years ago a small number Of drug
mon got together and called themselves Drug
gists Association, or "Drug Union of the State
OF Illinois," They appointed board known as
the Board of Pharmacy" drummed up a law
known as the drug law OF the State and had
themselves appointed as said board This
board has the power to levy special tax of SO
on every drug man i'll the State They use this
money to crush every drug man who will not
sign the contract. Ask the board that ia living
on our money, and who will come to YOU this
winter for more laws, if they were not appointed
by the Bloomington meeting. and if there is not
resolution now before that association that
this board has to report to, to put every man
that will not join this wicked combination on
the blacklist.

Two MONSTER Russian guns have
been sent to Sebastopol for the pur-
pose of being placed in the new iron
clad Sinope, and although some of the
details must be inaccurate, the official
description is too interesting to be ig-
nored. They are Pinch pieces,
weighing so tons, and throwing pro-
jectiles of nearly half ton. The
powder charge is 270 pounds, and the
initial velocity 5000 meters, while the
distance of the cannon's ranges is said
to be 20 versts or over Ii miles. AS
consequence the fire Of the guns can
only be directed by the map, the OBJ
ject fired at being out of sight. Two
men, however, suffice for each gun,
as they are worked by hydraulic ma
cninery.

The Kansas alien land law is in line
with those of Indiana, Illinois, and the
United States. Soon or late all the
agricultural States will be found pro-
hibiting the ownership of land in large
quantities-at any rate, to any but
citizens or persons who have signifed
their intent of becoming citizens. But
the bill now before the Kansas Legis.
lature contains provision which might
we'll have been grated upon the land
laws of other States. 1t permits an
alien to become the owner of any
quantity Of farming land less than 100
acres. This is not enough to create
danger Of alien landlordism, and is
enough to bind the owner to the laws
and constitution Of the country. There
are very few anarchists who own real
estate; none who own and cultivate
small farms.
