In the matter of contest for the Kan
sas City coal oil inspectorship the SUI
preme court has decided in favor of
Mr.. Stonestrcet as against Col. Belt,the
incumbent. This was a question as to
whether or not the terms of this Office
begin with the first appointment, the
statute being silent. The court holds
that they do, and that consequently
Col. Belt was appointed to fill an unex-
pired term and that Mr.. Stonestreet was
properly appointed at the end of that
tune. The entire record of the various
inspectorships in the state was printed
IN the Intelligencer when this case first
attracted attention.

All About Alphabets,

Will my youngest American readers
my very youngest-please & i've me their
attention?
All, here you are! Well, my little
eacs, as you very soon are to begin to
learn your letters, if, indeed, you are not
already learning them, it may interest
you to know that the babies of other
countries, as we'll as baby Americans,
are expected - know their alphabets at
very early age; and some of them, be-
cause there are moro letters in their
alphabets, have even d harder time than
you do. Some again have less to learn.
For instance. as sprightly and learned
correspondent informs this pupil, the
Sandwich Island alphabet has only 10
letters; the Burmese, 10; the Italian, 90;
the Bengalesc, 81; the Hebrew, Syriac,
Chaldee, Samaritan and Latin, 60 each;
the French, %; the Greek, "a; the Ger
man and Dutch, GO each; the Spanish
and Slavone, 27 each. But, on the other
hand. the Arabic has IS; the Persian and
Coptic, 32; the Georgian, 80; the Arlne-
MAN, IS; the Russian, Al; the Muscovite,
45; the Sanskrit and Japanese, so; the
Ethiopic and Tartaric, 202.
If this information Eewildcrs you, my
poor little letter learners. don't mind it.
1t will keep. One Of these days you will
be big and; able to play tag, and, later On,
baseball in these laIgua9es. Then, q few
letters, more or less, in any one of Them,
will BE matter of small consequence to
you. Even now, dare say, after what
| have told you, 20, d be able to play
with the letter blocks of any country. In
truth, If l were you, thinE l should pre-
fer a box of Ethiopic or Tartaric letter

"a letter from member of the COM

ceived from Gen. jackson. He states
that it would give him great pleasure to
accept our invitation, but he thought
any arrangement relative to it should be
deferred until the result Of the election
was perfectly ascertained Then if the
circumstances permitted he would be
happy to become the guest Of our city,"
The above paragraph appeared in
Niles Register of Jan. 10, 1899, more
than two months after the election. The
result, however, had been con iectured as
early as the 22d of November, and The
Register of that date says: mot heard

An Infallible Coin Tester.

appear to be possessed by these gifted
monkeys in such an extraordinary de-
gree OF development that no human be-

compete with them. The cashier ape
meditatively puts into his mouth each
coin presented to him in business pay
