A spunky Archbishop.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-It is certain that the
fine imposed on the archbishop of AK
will be subscribed by the many friends
OF the convicted prelate. At the conclu-
sion OF the trial the archbishop wired the
following to Cardinal Rampolla, pontifi-
cal secretary of state: Kindly tell the
pope that the liberty OF Christ, the
papacy and the church were today tri-
umphantly defended before the judges
The bishop declares he is determined
not to submit to the civil authorities,
and nobody shall stop him from leading
pilgrims to Rome.

A Hirhbipdar K,,Ied.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 25.-A Chinese
highbinder named See On was shot and
killed in Chinatown tonight. He was
member OF the On Yek society, but as
this association is not at war with any
OF the others, the cause of the killing is
not plain. On was shot on the stairway
OF building up and down which
Chinese are continually passing, but as
usual none of them have the faintest
knowledge of the killing.

side, at less hazardous vocations, and
urges increased compensation.

annual addition to the navy of 2200
men, until upwards of 10000 men are
gradually added to the effective strength

the waters edge, and sixteen feet OF her
rail and side we're carried away nearly

tug Etna. coming up, made last and
brought her in, instead. The Mineola
continued on her voyage. Under the
circumstances the Perkins had the right
.of way, and the blame must rest on the
Mineola.

BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS RESUME 1
NORMAL STATE.
Fonseca's Abdication and Peixotto's Sue
cession Everywhere Hailed With Sat-
isfaction Ante Bellum Conditions
Fully Restored by the New President.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Although the re-
strictions have been entirely removed
from the use of the cable for news trans
mission from Brazil, very few dispatches
are being received. Indications are that
everything is resuming its normal con-
dition; that the new government is in
sympathy with the dominant political
party, and that the mandates of the
constitution will resume their sway.
The Exchange Telegraph company
publishes a private dispatch from Para
today. According to this the abdica-
ton OF. Fonseca and the succession OF
Peixotto as president are we'll received
in that city and state. This would in
dicate that everywhere throughout
Brazil the change of president is re-
ceived with approval.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Nov. 25.-President
Peixotto promulgated a manifesto to-
day, which was received with general
satisfaction. In this he altogether aban-
dons the arbitrary and dicta-
torial authority assumed by Da
Fonseca and declares the le-
gal order of affairs re-established.
AS consequence of this general state
ment the manifesto announces the dis
solution OF congress decreed by Da Fon-
SEGA is annulled, and the state of siege
in the federal district raised. The man
ifesto summons congress to reassemble
December 18th, and resume its func-
tions. This proclamation makes it clear
that the new president does not in any
way sympathize with the policy inau-
gurated by Da Fonseca, and that he pro-
poses to do all in his power to restore
the political situation to its normal con-
dition. Pereira, minister of Justice,
will take charge temporarily of the min
istries of public instruction and In
terror.

The Bells of MOSCOW.

Moscow had at one time over 1,700
large bells, and us many as 5000 OF all
sizes. In the Ivan tower alone there
are now thirty-four, one OF which in
the first story above the chapel, weighs
more than sixty tons; it swings freely,
is easily wrung, and if one s1nites it
with the palm Of the hand it responds
in wonderfully clear and startling
manner. Two others are Of solid silver,
with very soft, clear tones. The great
bell cast during the reign Of Catherine
has been consecrated as chapel, the
door being an aperture six feet high by
seven wide at the base, made by the
piece weighing eleven tons, which
broke and fell out during the fire OF
1887, when water came in contact with
the heated metal. This bell is twenty.
one feet high, twenty-one feet, siz
inches in diameter, twenty-four inches
thick, and weighs $4,000 pounds OF
something over 200 tons. Some author
tiles give the weight as 444,O0o pounds
or go tons. It has bas-reliefs Of ths
Emperor and Empress, the Saviour, th'
Virgin Mary and the evangelists An
other bell about half as large requires
twenty-four men to ring it, and thi
was done by pulling tho clapper.--E

An Amusing Economist.

The Peoria (ll.) Journal prints, with
editorial commendation, communica-
ton from Eli c. Lisk. Mr.. Lisk de-
clares that the farmer now pays ninety.
two per cent of the taxes of this coun.
try. One reason for this is, that ''all
his property lies open to the assessor
and it all goes on the assessors books, J"
whereas s'the rest of the community,
manufacturers and merchants excepted,
have their wealth laid aside in their
drawers and safes and can not be seen
by the assessor, but he has to depend
on their word alone for the correctness
of their listed property" Mr.. Lisk is u
little foggy in his English, but his
meaning is quite clear. and he sensibly
declares that ''this mode of assessment
is all wrong" What do our readers
suppose is the remedy Mr.. Lisk pro.
poses? 1t is to exempt land entirely
from taxation and assess improvements
and personal property alone. OF course
he suggests new and drastic methods
for ascertaining the amount OF bonds
and mortgages, etc, held by each indi.
vidual, and equally, Of course, fails to
remember that those concerned have .
perfect right to remove themselves and
their possessions out of any State adopt
ing such law Having started out by
showing that personal property can not
be equitably taxed, he insists that 1t
alone shall be taxed. The Peoria jour-
nal sapiently remarks that 'it will be
observed that the writer does not
espouse the theories espoused by Henry
George, but, on the contrary, takes just
the opposite view" Yes, this will bf

Chinese Music.

The musical art of a people who rep
resent one-fifth of the earth's popula-
ton ought to be studied, If not for the
sake of aesthetic pleasure at least in the
interest of scientific knowledge. Yet
there is scarcely a department in the
history or philosophy of music con-
cerning which the information to be
found in the books is so unsatisfactory
as that of Chinese music. Even a
historian of the thoroughness and
profundity of Andres, after devoting
many pages to an attempt to eiucldate
the Chinese theory, seems willing 10
believe the first traveller who sets
down the modern practice of the art as
nothing but crude, barbaric, lnregu-
lated noise. Crude, barbaric and noisy
Chinese music certainly is, but not un-
regulated. Even the little music
which can be heard on any holiday in
the Chinese quarter of New York will
serve to disclose to discriminating ear
that it is nothing if not methodicaL
The difficulty on the part OF the
historians has been that they have
never come in contact with the Chinese,
| and therefore have had to depend on
the descriptions of travellers and mis-
sionaries touching the practical side OF
the art. Correctly to apprehend music,
however, requires special qualifications
of education and natural gifts, and
these have been possessed by SO small
minority of those who have written
about China that they are scarcely
worth enumerating Century.

HENRY l. BIOSSiT, Business Manager,

through by that darling, golden-haired
boy, the hope of his life, and the terror
of his pocket-book.
From the -four he gracefully drifts
into the dining-room, where he climbs
upon the sideboard, and empties the
contents of the salt-cellar into the
| sugar-bowl, and mixes the two in such
way that that night his father will
suggest that they purchase their coffee
at different place, or else try some
new.fongled coffee-pot Having eaten
all the raisins and dried currants, he
proceeds to pour the English walnuts in
to his fathers boots, that the dignitary
may crack either his toes, the nuts, or
both, when he attempts to put them on
the next time.
1t would, perhaps, be very difficult
for the average thinker to account for
the element of fun in the act of pouring
water down d furnace register. 1t is
even impossible to explain the circum-
stances that would lead boy to think
OF such an experiment, and how he
could realize sensation of pleasure
from it. But he does though, if we can
arrive at such a conclusion from swift
study of the smile that wreathes his
molasses-painted face, because he goes
to and fro from the sink to the register
with a little tin dipper, and regrets that
he hasn't the physical strength to
manipulate an ordinary pail.
Having exhausted the possibilities Of
the register, he goes into the kitchen
and amuses himself by standing at the
top of the cellar stairs and throwing
i. down all the coal contained in the
kitchen scuttle, one lump at a time,
, which stretches the sport into a good

The Single Tax in Minneapolis, MINI.


c.. j. Buell., Of Minneapolis, writing
to the Standard, says: The single tax
is moving right along here. The fact
that Mayor P. B. Winston has joined

comment in the newspapers. Very

masses of the people, / have very little
