 St. Louis has two cases of leprosy. Chicago has the worlds fair.
 A pretty young girl in Comber, Michigan, was 30 mortified at being unable to pay 8 board bill that she committed suicide. She was young and inexperienced. Such delin- quents usually allow the boarding house keeper to commit suicide.
 According to Vienna correspondent, the Austrians are about the worst taxed people on the globe. Every proposed business en- terprise is taxed on the basis of the capital employed, whether there are any profits or not. The national income tax of per cent. is increased by local taxation till it exceeds 18 per cent. There ia tax on every person employed, on every increase of salary and on every new employe who takes the place of one who leaves. Rents in Vienna are taxed 65 per cent, and every firm has no end of licenses and special taxes to pay
 Frederic Spitger, the collector of probably the greatest gathering of objects of all sorts of arts ever brought together by private person, died in Paris a few weeks ago. Born in Hungary in 1915, he went to Vienna to engage in trade, and accidentally discovered an Albert Durer, which he bought and sold fora little profit. Till that time he had known nothing of pictures and curiosities, but for thirty years he dealt in antiquities all over Europe. His present collection is unparalleled, embracing nearly every form of art. It occupies his entire house near the Arc de Triomphe. Two years ago he asked $5,00O,000 for it, and when he died it is doubtful if he would have taken less. It will doubtless be sold now.
 It is easy enough to say that the Chinese must go, but it is exceedingly difficult to make them go. The most recent develop- ments in illustration of this are on she Mexi- can border, where our authorities recently arrested party of Chinamen trying to steal into San Diego. The practice appsars to have been to import coolies from China and trans. ship them in San Francisco harbor on coast ing vessels for conveyance to some Mexican | port, from which they can take their chances
 of getting into California or Arizona by cross
 ing the border. But the facilities for sucf

A POLITICIANS CAREER.
Interesting Lesson Drawn From the Life
OF Daniel.

Interesting Lesson Drawn From the Life
OF Daniel.
At the H0Ward-street Methodist Episeo-
pal Church last night Rev. r. Hareourt dis
coursed on "A Young Politicians Trial and
Triumph" choosing as his text the eighth
verse Of the first chapter Of Daniel, which
reads: And Daniel purpOsed in his heart
that he would not defiie himself with the
portion OF the Kings meat, nor with the
wine which he drank"
The preacher pIefRced his sermon with
the assertion that a single act was, in many
Instances, an index to whole life. That
the future OF man was often mirrored in
some occurrence Of his youth, and the life
Of Daniel was that Of a man who preserved
his integrity from his earliest years. He
referred to his career in the Kings college
at Babylon, and the steadfaStness of pur-
pose which be displayed in adhering to the
principles Of his fathers in spite of the
many temptations to which he was at all
times subjected. His ultimate triumph and
greatness lie considered a natural conse-
quence Of his youthful acts. He compared
the late lamented Samuel j. Randall to the
Old prophet, and spoke Of the singleness of
purpose ana supremacy Of intellect which
no temptation could influence.
In the lives OF the prophet and Of the
great man who had just gone he saw a les
son 10 young men which was of more value
than those Of colleges. In conclusion he
urged young men to consider well the ex-
amples of those great men to whom he had
referred, and to build up in their youth
walls of strength to protect them in the
years to come.

SINGLE-TAX SOCIETY.

L. NJ. Manner Rends n Paper on the
Economic System"
The regular Sunday lecture to the Single
tax Society was given last evening at ST.
&c Orge's Hall by l.. NJ. Manner. He COM
menced by drawing a fable from Greek
mythology, and related how at feast of
one OF the gods guest was put to trial of
strength by putting his hands under the
four legs of cat and lifting the animal
from the ground. Instead OF four legs he
found four cables, which extended around
the world. This cat may be compared to
the present economic system, and, il the cat
is not good comparison. the economic sys-
TEN of to-day is one of her kittens.
This system builds up classes and makes
paupers of the masses. 1t undermines the
foundations on which demOcracies must
stand. and upon the ruins erects arts to-
cracies and monarchies. Gloating over the
ruin it has wrought it is never satisfied, but
is constantly looking for new victims, aud
is always proving about under the guise
of law and order.
