AN ORIGINAL DEcAMERoN.

Extraordinary Price Paid for a Copy Of
BOccaciO's Great Work.
One of the most extraordinary book
sales on record was that at which the
collection of John, Duke of Roxburghe,
was disposed of. The Duke died March
10. 1904; and the auction took place eight
years afterward. The most valuable
book in the collection was Boccacio's
''Decameron," printed in Venice in
1471. DIR. Dibdin says the copy was
sound or perfect rather than fine. 1t
had faded, yellow morocco binding,
and its appearance was, on the whole,
unattractive. The day on which the
'sDecameron" was to be sold was rainy
and dark, but large crowd was present
at the Dukes late residence. Mr.. Evans,
the auctioneer, expatiated at some
length upon the great value of the book,
saying among other things, that EN-
peror Napoleon's librarian had ex-
pressed anguish of heart that such a
treasure was not to be found in the inn
perial collection in Paris. The bidding
then began with an offer from Cbrop-
shire gentleman of $500. The price was
rapidly run up to So. 500. Then there
was pause, but the silence was soon
broken by an offer of S5, 600 from Earl
Spencer. The Marquis of Blandford,
who was Spencer's chief competitor for
the volume, offered $50 more. Again
the bidding became lively until SO. 600
was bid by the Marquis. This made
Earl Spencer waver, he consulted with
his son, Lord Althorp, as to whether it
would be prudent to continue the con-
test The result of the conference was
that he electrified the spectators by of

raised the bid $50. and after q pause CT .

GIDDY SENATOR SUSAN.

What May He Expected IF Wyoming Is
Admitted to Statehood.
The woman suffrage ladies have been
the chief force that has pushed Wyo-
ming along through the House. They
have camped in the capital, and brooded
over the State egg from the arid plains
and mountains like the maternal parent
of undeveloped poultry. Susan b.
Anthony and her band have kept their
eyes steadily on this as the main issue.
and it is intimated that Susan has a
special point to make in this. The al
Turing hope is presented to her Adde'S
cent ambition that she may be one of
the first Senators from Wyoming. The
plan outlined by her champions is that
she will at once remove to the new
State. Only sixty days residence is re-
quired for a voter, SO that In two
months she will be full-f1edged citizen
and voter. The women all vote, and
she will put herself at their head as
their candidate for United States Sen
ator. OF course, a considerable portion
of the male element must be in favor of
woman suffrage, or it could not have
been prevalent there and imbedded in
the constitution. 1t does not appear,
in fact, that any of the men attempted
to STAY the movement. Whether cOwed
by domestic powers, or exercising the
natural prudence of politicians in face
of the inevitable, is not quite apparent.
Elation and enthusiasm are said to
possess Susan and her cohorts. in view of
this rising panorama. 1t would be a
distinction for which Susan might
Justly contend, as the crown of ages of
gallant and puissant struggle. What a
magnificent panorama might there be of
the festive Susan sailing in among
those dignified. precise and precedent
loving Senators with her credentials as
the first Senator from the new State.
There would be an affrighted hegira to
the cold tea room. Still Susan is no
giddy young thing. She has brains, ex-
perience and tongue. Possibly pretty
face as Il substitute would make her
welcome less frigid. II the Senators
halt the incoming State and send it
back to revise female suffrage out of
the constitution, it may be suspected
that they have had a glimpse of the
coming woman, and will keep her out
of the Senate. II Wyoming comes in
with it's present suffrage, it will give
the .ause great impulse in South Da-
kota, and probably insure its adoption
next fall. Then the popular orator and
female statesman, Mrs. Bones, may
come to join Susan in the Senate. The
appearance of Miss Anthony in the field
as Senator will add to the interest to be
taken in the action of the Senate.

THE siNGER,s AIMS.

In Lyons, in the mart of that French town,
Years since, woman leading a fair child
Craved a small aims Of one who, walking down
Walking down the thoroughfare, caught the
chiid's glance and smiled
To see behind its eyes q noble soul.
He paused, but found he had no coin to dole
His guardian angel warned him not to lose
This chance Of pearl to do another good;
So, as he waited, sorry to refuse
The asked-for penny, there aside he stood.
And with his hat held as the limb the nest
He covered his kind face and sang his best.
The sky was blue above, and all the lane
OF commerce, where the singer stood, was
And many paused, and listening, paused again
To hear the voice that thro and thro' them
thrilled;
think the guardian angel helped along
That cry for pity woven in a song.
The singer stood between the beggars there
Before a church, and overhead the spire-
slim, perpetual finger in the air
Held toward Heaven, land of the hearts de-
sire
AS If an angel, pointing up, had said:
Wonder crown awaits this singers head"
The hat Of its stamped brood was emptied soon
Into the woman's lap, who drenched with
Her kiss upon the hand of help; twas noon,
And noon in her glad Heart drove forth her
fears.
The singer, pleased, passed on and softly
thought:
MEN will not know by whom this deed was
wrought"
Bat when at night he came upon the stage
Cheer after cheer went up from that wide
throng,
And flowers rained on him; nought could as
suage
The tumult of the welcome save the song
That he had sweetly sung, with covered
face.
Fer the two beggars in the market place.

THE ANTITRUST BILL.

The Ohio Senator'S Measure II Both
Empty and Delusive.
Mr.. Sherman's antitrust bill is one Of
the most emphatic indictments of tbs
high tariff that has yet been written.
In it trusts are defined to be ssa combi.
nation of skill, capital or acts by two or
more persons for either or any of the
following purposes:
81. To create or carry out any restric-
tons for the restriction of trade"
Of the high tariff is for any purpose it
is for the restriction of trade.)
SO. To limit or reduce the PRODUCTION
or to increase or reduce the price of mer-
chandise or commodities
(The high tariff fails of its object
when it does not limit or reduce the pro-
duction or increase the price of commod-
ities)
''3. To prevent competition in the
manufacture, purchase, sale or transpor-
tation Of merchandise"
(The high tariff prevents competition
in the manufacture, purchase, sale and
transportation of merchandise; that is
what it was designed to do, and that Is
what it does, whether so designed OF
not)
"a. To fix standard or figure where
by the price to the public shall be in any
manner controlled"
(The high tariff fixes . standard OF
figure whereby the price to the public
is controlled. If it did not do that man.
ufacturers would not suffer their fat tc
be fried out of them for the benefit OF
unlearned economists)
SIS. To create a monopoly in any mer-
chandise.''
THAT is what the high tariff is de-
signed to do. 1t fails Of its purpose
only because nature is stronger than any
artifice of man,
"a To make any contract or agree
| ment not to manufacture, sell, or trans
port any article below a common stand
ard figure; to keep the price of such
article so as to preclude free and unrc-
| stricted competition"
(The high tariff is in the nature of a
| contract or agreement, under which its
beneficiaries may refuse, and do refuse,
to manufacture, sell or transport arti.
| cles below a common-standard figure.
1t is maintained for the sole and the
avowed purpose of keeping the prices OF
such articles at a point precluding
| free and unrestricted competition. II
If the high tariff did not do this it would
support no lobby at Washington, and
would maintain no costly newspaper
organs for the deception of the people.
Mr.. Sherman's bill is not an honest
| measure. 1t is designed as tub to be
thrown to the farmer whale, and those
who are pointing to it with SO much
pride know that it is empty and delusive.

PUBLIC OPINION.

The general impression in Con.
gress seems to be that Senator Sher-
mans antitrust bill is very small tub
to a very large whale.-Providence
Journal.
The farmers Of the West have in
the past heard good deal about the
home market for their corn, and they
are now discovering that the market is
the kitchen stove and fre-place.-New
Orleans States.
The Mckinley tariff bill seems to
be too large for the East and too small
for the West. It doesn't fit very we'll
in the middle States, either, and as for
the South, according to Henri Waiter
son, cit won't do at alL"-St. Paul
Pioneer Press (Rep).
The tax on raw sugar will be re-
duced, but the tax on refined sugar will
be increased by the Mckinley tariff
bill. Thus the sugar trust will have a
better margin Of profit and the people
will have to pay about as much for
sugar under 1t as now.-St Louis Post
Dispatch.
The. frenzied eloquence with
which "Blocks of Five" Dudley pours
out his Indignation at Southern election
elections is enough to make horse
laugh. In the meanwhile he himself is
saved his striped suit and shaved head
deserts by not being any more deep in
crime than the President of his crea.

The Republican Senate will ad-
nit the Blocks Of Five Senators from
Montana, and so carry out the part OF
the programme arranged for it in the
steal. When it is 50 we'll understood
that this was all settled by Quay and
the campaign committee before they
ordered the Silver Bow returns thrown
out, it is somewhat pueri1e in the Re-
publican Senators to pretend that they
are acting as free agents.-St. Louis Re
public.
To take off the tax on manufact
