3 handsome uGtle uOS was IOSt III IuiS
city by his master, who was passen-
ger on one of the west-bound Santa Fe
trains. When the little fellow realized
that he was lost he barked pitifuIly and
is on the platform every day since to
meet the incoming trains, in hopes of
finding his master. SWhen the train
stops, he runs along it from one end to
the other, always keeping his eye on
the windows, and when it pulls out his
manifestations of sorrow are really pitt
ful. Depot Master Odell, who is taking
care of him, says the little fellow is
surely gifted with reason. He spends
the time between trains in the depot,
and the boys around there say that he
has the time card down as fine as any
of them, for he is out and watching the
track when the train is about due.

What the Worlds Fair Should Be.
GGen. Francis 4. Walker in the Febru-
ary Forum.

1Gen. Francis a. Walker in the Febru-
ary Forum.
Two things should be prominently in
view. First, that it is real celebra-
tion we want, and not mere peddlers'
fair. We can be content with nothing
less than a grand, dignified celebration
of an event of transcendent importance
to the whole world, not alone to its in
dustrial, but to its political and social,
interests, as we'll. Secondly, that, on
this occasion, the United States should
appear. not for themselves alone, but
as the head and front of the people Of
all the Americas, assuming the leader
ship, as is right, but associating with
themselves, in the initiation and, to
some degree, in the conduct OF the cele
bration, all the other nations which
owe their existence to the daring and
adventurous voyage Of Columbus.
Many persons think of Il worlds fair As
exerting its economic influence only AS
school Of industrial art; but this is
the smaller part Of its mission. it is
through widening the markets for pro-
ducts, through educating the taste of
through inspiring indus
trial ambitions, that the worlds fair
does lis greatest work. 1t is not as a
means to ends already desired, but as
new ends, as setting up
larger and finer objects Of desire, than
an exhibition of arts and manufactures
chiefly contributes to industrial de-

The Worlds Most Powerful Tribunal.
IEaton S. Drone in the February
Forum.

The highest court of the United
States, whose centennial commemora-
ton is at hand, holds a unique place in
our government and one not found in
any other governmental system. It
wields a power greater than is eXer-
cised by any other judicial tribunal in
the world. In no country Of Europe
or the East has any court authority to
make or unmake the supreme law of
the land, to limit the prerogatives OF
the sovereign, to control the powers of
the Legislature, to shape the form Of
government.
These functions are exercised by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
1t holds a power above that of the chief
magistrate of the nation, superior to
that Of Congress, higher than that Of
any State, and equaled only by that
which made or can amend the Con-
stitution. 1t can enlarge or limit the
prerogatives Of the president or the
powers Of Congress. 1t can change the
relations between the State and the ma
ton. 1t can extend or restrict either
the central power or State sovereignty.
In short, it can make Or unmake the
constitutional law of the country. 1t
can Introduce radical changes into our
form of government. Not only can the
Supreme Court WELD these vast pow
ers, it has long done so and may long
continue to do so.

: RATS COSTLY MORSEL.
It Was Diamond Stud, and 1t Cost the
Rodent His Life.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

LFrom the Cincinnati Enquirerl
When Louis Braham, the old-time
pawnbroker, opened up his shop Mon.
day morning at 2G East Fourth street
he missed 4 quarter Of carat diamond
shirt stud, valued at from $35 to $50,
which he was positive was in the win
dow late Saturday evening.
He called his son, and the two
searched the shop high and low, but
could not find the diamond.
Braham began to get crazy over his
loss, and went to Vic Hill's to take a
class Of beer and brace up to continue
the search.
'llad quite time last night watch
ing rat i'll your show window" said
Vic, as the old pawn6roker quafed off
his beer.
"Rat in my window? What's that?"
"a number Of us were sitting in front
Of the st. James Hotel about S o'clock
Sunday evening. The electric light
was burning brightly in the window,
when along came woman, and, stop

sure enough, there was big gray fel-
low, abcu ut foot long, skipping around
among the diamonds and breastpius,
smelling of the silver spoons, and lis
tening to the ticks of the clocks.
Braham took off his hat and flung it
on the counter. II WONDER" he said,
then started out.
"What's upn'
"Why, pve lost a diamond stud out

Hill, who used to work for Pinker-
ton, said: "Why, the rat has swollered
it. Catch the rat and you'll get the
stone.n
"Nonsense! What do you know
about rats and diamonds?" and Bra
ham rushed out; but be acted on Hills
advice, fixed up some poison in an
attractive manner for a rat, and at
o'clock out comes the rat, hunting for
water, weak and sickly looking.
Young Braham rushed up and kicked it
with his foot. The rat vas cut open,
and safe and sound in its stomach
was found the stud, as good as new.
'Gott i'm Himmelr' shouted old man
Braham. "I'll set 'em up" And now
all the guests Of the St. James and
people around Vic Hills talk about is
rats and diamonds.

QUIETLY JOINED THE CHURCH,
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland. worsb,n
Unostentatiously.
New York World.l

Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland at.
tendeo the morning service yesterday
at the Central Presbyterian Church,
NO. 20 West Fifty-seventh Street.
They arrived early and did not attract
any unusual attention, although they
walked from their home in Madison
avenue. The statement was published
yesterday that Mrs. Cleveland was to
formally unite with the church at the
morning service. The error was prob
ably due to the fact that she had de-
clded to join the church On the first
Sunday in the month, which proved to
be rainy, unpleasant day, and it was
supposed, that the bad weather would
have kept her away. It did not. Even
had she been absent the formality of
receiving ;her into this church would
nave been gone through just the same.
her name, with that of twenty other
new members, was read by the pastor,
the Rev. Hilton Meree Smith. The
t"enty-one names were those who had
come to the Central Church from other
cities, bringing letters of transfer from
their pastors. During the reading Of
the announcement Mrs. Cleveland did
not leave her pew, neither did any
other of the twenty-one whose names
were read. Mr.. Cleveland was with
his wife.
1t was strange thing yesterday to
see the man who twelve months ago
would have been followed by curious
crowd, walking calmly and slowly
with his wife across Fifty-seventh
Street. Few Of the many hundreds
along the way from the Clevelands'
home on Madison Avenue, recognized
them, and the few who Gid stared DO
litely and with friendly interest. The
ex-President wore silk hat, not too
new, his inevitable and statesmanlike
irock-coat. Mrs. Cleveland, hand-
ermer than ever and as young looking,
Wore quiet gown Of seal-brown cloth
and modest hat.
The Clevelands occupied yesterday .
pew half way between the door and
the platform. 1t is on the left side Of
the church. The ex-President locked
tranquil and paid heed to the sermon.
Mrs. Cleveland Joined in the congre-
gatlonal singing and paid devout att
tention to the services. When the
congregation was dismissed the ex-
Presidential family walked away in
the bright February sunshine much
the same as the other people did.

How Many Newspaper Have Wee

We copy from theLoadon Times a,
compilation of newspaper statistics, in
tended to show the comparative energy
with which the presses of journalism
are working in the different countries
Of the world. The alleged facts were
gathered at Paris, in connection with.
the Exposition. So far as the United
States are concerned they are conspicu-
ously and even grotesquely inaccurate.
This comparison credits Europe with
over 10000 periodical publications,
Germany leading with $500, of which
500 are daily newspapers. Next comes
England with 5000 periodicals, 500 of
which are dailies. Our own country is
credited with l2,5OO papers Of all sorts,
1000 of them daily.
AS a matter of fact, the aggregate
number of newspapers issued in the
United States, instead of a little more
than doubling Germany's total, nearly
equals the aggregate of Europe; and
our daily papers, instead ofexceeding
the German or the English total by a
couple Of hundred, more than equal
Germany and England combined.
The figures presented by the London
Times for the United States are those
of seven or eight years ago. Nine years
ago the Tenth Census included an
enumeration Of the newspapers pub
lished in all the States and Territories
in lSS0. The total number Of periodi-
Gals then registered was II ,5l4, of which
971 were published daily. The enume-
ration of Rowell's Newspaper Directo-
ry was less complete than that of Mr..
North for the Census. Rowell, in his
edition Of 1880, gave 9,123 periodicals,
and S43 dailies. That is to say, the
figures of the Census were more than
sixteen per cent. over Rowell's figures
for the total of publications, and more
than fifteen per cent, over Rowell for
the number Of dailies.
This year Rowell's Directory men
tions not less than 1888 papers printed
in the United States including 1894
dailies. If the deficiencies of his emu
mcration count in the same proportion
as they did in 1850, as compared with
Prof North's enumeration for the last
Census, the number of periodicals is
sued in the United States to-day is not
far from 1900, and the number of
daily newspapers not far from 100.
The London Times figures for the
United States, therefore, are about fifty
per cent short in regard to the total
number of papers printed, and about
seventy per cent. short in regard to our
daily newspapers.
How accurate these statistics are
with regard to foreign countries we are
not able to determine. The statement
that 81 daily newspapers are published
in Athens, 3 city of perhaps $4,000
people, does not inspire confidence in
the compiler; and his assertion that
''most" of the 100 Canadian journals
are French, shows that he does not
know what he is talking about. Not |
one in every ten of the newspapers of
the Canadian Dominion is French.
Nevertheless, even from the very
imperfect statistics presented by the
London Times, the main fact stands
out very clearly. This nation is away
ahead of every other country OF the
globe in the enterprise ofits journalistic
press. rs we'll as in the character, in-
terest, and ability of the inky product
of its tireless energy.

From the GlObe-Dcmncrat.1 |


WASHINGTON, Feb. A disgrace
full incident occurred during the fun
eral services of Mrs. Coppingcr, the
daughter Of Secretary Blaine, to-day.
Mrs. Coppinger was Catholic. The
services took place at st. Matthew's.
The galleries were packed with people.
Pews were reserved for the mourners.
AS Col. Coppinger, who is Catholic,
entered the pew he made the usual gen
ufectiOn and sign of the cross, rs AL
Catholics do. Secretary Blaine and
Mrs. Blaine followed him. They arc
Presbyterians. They did not bend the
knee or cross themselves. The omis-
sion was Immediately followed by an
outburst of Kisses from the right hand
gallery. So loud was the demonstration
that it was heard all over the church,
and people looked in the direction the
ugly sound came from. Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaine were overcome by grief and APP
parently did not notice the Kissing.
