Progressive Australia.

Australia today is as far advanced in civ
ilization as any country in the world. The
roads are better than any On this CONT
nent; the daily and weekly papers and the
development of literature and art are far
in advance of the age of the colonies or the
population. The new commonwealth has
all Europe and America as field in which
to seek the improvements of the time and
the means to secure them. It's present
wealth is almost beyond belief, and it's re-
sources are almost incalculable.
1t produces more than one-fourth of the
wool of the world-twice as much as the
United States. 1t produces one-half the
tin of the world, and there is no precious
metal that has not been found within it's
domain. It's coal fields on the coast, con-
venient for export to all countries, are in
exhaustible. The inward and outward
shipping of one port alone exceeds $500, 900
tons per annum, and the value of its COM
merce with Great Britain alone exceeds
e100,000,000 sterling. An estimate of the
annual industrial productions of the popu-
lation, including both agricultural and
mineral wealth, was no less than sos 042, ,000
Its cities also are among the finest of
modern times. The public buildings, shops
and parks compare favorably with any in
Europe or America, while the floating
palaces of the Peninsula and Oriental
Steamship company and the Orient Steam
ship company give weekly communication
with the Old World. In outdoor sports
the Australians excel, and their racing es-
Establishments and courses are the wonder
and admiration of all visitors from abroad
Who has not heard of the champion boat
men and cricketers of Australia?-Sir r.
w. Cameron in Forum.

all but three of the jurors were able to
make out the minute MS" Then ex-
pert Carvalho smilingly volunteered to
point out the secret initials to the three
gentlemen whose eyes were not acute
enough to detect them.
Taking the three coins in his hand he
glanced at them casually. A puzzled look
overspread his features; he closely scru-
tinized the dollars, walking over to the
window to get the benefit of clearer light.
Then he turned to the jury and said: Gen
tlemen, these coins well illustrate the
point l was attempting to impress upon
you. They are counterfeits." Just before
entering the court room Mr.. Carvalho
stepped into a grocery and had twenty
dollar bill changed in order to get enough
dollars to pass among the Jurors Three
of these coins were bogus.-Chicago Mail.

THE ELECTRIC CONTEST,

CINCINNATI, June 4.-The single trolley
victory in the Ohio supreme court is the
theme of much talk here, as the electric
road and the telephone company, between
whom the fight was made, are both strong
corporations. The syllabus of the supreme
court decision will not be ready for few
days, but the result is a final victory for
the single trolley system against the tele-
phone throughout the state, as there can
be no further appeal. In the superior
court, where the action was first brought,
the judgment was in favor of the tele-
phone company after most closely con-
tested trial. 1t was then taken to the
general term of the superior court, where
Judge Taft's decision was affirmed, Judge
to the supreme court. where the superior
court Judgment was reversed. The
contention was that the single trolley sys-
tenn used the rails and the earth for re-
turn circuit and thus impaired the value
OF the telephone service, which had prior
use of the earth in connection with gas
and water-plpes for its return circuit. The
electric roads claimed that the telephone
company had no exclusive l;ght to the
earth, and that 1T had no right to exclude
from reasonable and necessary use of the
earth any corporation which had fran
chlse for the use of the streets for public
purpose, which required using its rails
Tor return circuit 1t claimed also that
II the telephone service was thus impaired
1t had ample and adequate remedy in
wires for return circuit. The presump-
ton is that the decision of the supreme
court is based on these grounds.

The KNIGHTS OE RECIPROCITY.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 4.-The most i'm
portant action taken at the meeting of
the grand lodge of the knights OF Recip-
rocity, just concluded in this city, was the
inauguration Of a movement looking to-
ward the consolidation of the knights of
Reciprocity with another society known
as the knights and Ladies OF America.
This latter has been in existence in South
eastern Kansas since last November. It's
objects are identical with those of the
knights of Reciprocity and while little
has been said about 1t publicly, it now
claims q membership of 5000 men and wo-
men, mostly in the third congressional
district. It had representatives in attend
ance at the grand lodge of the knights of
Reciprocity, who presented the PROPOSE
tion for union. Senator j. T. Norton was
at the head of the delegation and he
worked energetically to bring the kindred
organizations together. The grand lodge
appointed a committee to confer with
authorized representatives of the knights
and ladies to bring about this desired re-
suit
Following the lead of the Farmers Al
lance, the Knights and Ladies of America
recognize the power of women in politics
and their cooperation has been invited.
There are seven grand lodges of the
Knights of Reciprocity in as MANY states
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas A meeting
of the supreme lodge, composed of repre-.
sentatives Of the seven grand lodges is to
be called soon. but the time and place has
not yet been fixed.
In his address to the grand lodge Grand
Judge d. NJ. Foote, of Garden City, said:
THE Knights of Reciprocity is not an or
ganization which desires to assume con-
troll of party machinery or usurp the func-
tions of any committee entrusted with the
campaign management, while ON the other
hand it accords the right to every Ameri-
can citizen to have decided political con-
victions, who ought to exercise that right
according to the dictates of his own con-
science without undue interference from
any person whomsoever and become an
active participant in all political affairs.
The knights of Reciprocity is not a secret
political organization, whose object it is
to boom any man or set of men to office, or
even suggest who shall or VINO shall not be
thus recognized. Nor is it an order Or soci-
ETY. which desires to formulate or organize
new party against either of the present
political parties"

4 Very Peculiar Ride.

| Time softens all things, including the
| nemory of disagreeable incidents. What,
at the time, may have been irritating, per-
ilous or intensely disagreeable, after a
lapse of years becomes a matter of pride
or amusement. Otherwise this anecdote,
which relates an incident anything but
funny at the time of occurrence, would
never have been recalled. 1t was told by
gentleman now in prosperous circum-
stances.
When | was young man, said he, 1
had a hard struggle to make both ends
meet, and for time did any odd job that
came to my hand. One very rainy night,
very nearly i O'Clock in the morning,
was passing along Chestnut street, in Phil
adelphia, when l was accosted by a gentle
man whom l knew slightly.
"Jim," said he hurriedly, 81 want you
to take message for me to Brown street
Ia locality near Paramount park, and
will pay you dollar for delivering it, and
I'll give you another dollar to pay your
cab hire out there"
1t must be borne in mind that this was
before the days of district messengers, and
the local telegraph Offices were closed at 10
o'clock p. m.
agreed to carry the message-a letter
and going around to the corner of Ninth
street found a single cab standing there.
1t was a most dilapidated vehicle, with
two wretched horses, and the driver was
in keeping, being old. poorly clad, and, as
/ soon discovered, extremely hard of hear
ing.
However, it was Hobson's choice, and
after some chaffering | got into the cab
and it started Away we ratified up Ninth
street and out Ridge avenue, and had gone
perhaps two squares on the latter street
when a most extraordinary accident hap
pened. The floor of the cab gave way be-
meath my feetI
| was half asleep at the time, and when
came to my senses was stuck in the de-
bris and my toes We're humping along the
cobble stones. kicked and struggled TO
regain my position, until the seat as well
as the bottom boards fell into the street,
except one jagged piece that kept banging
the calves Of my legs.
Placing either hand on the side sash of
the cab doors trotted along inside the
cab, meanwhile crying loudly TO the driver;
but might as well have appealed to the
wheels. The old horses clattered along at
a spirited rate. / dared not drop for fear
the jagged board would knock out my
brains and so | was compelled to keep
running. In short, ran clear out to Fair
mount park, nearly four miles.

time, and had fearful row with the cab
man, but now can afford to laugh at what
was as ludicrous a disaster as ever hap
pened in civilized fey outh's Compan-

KANSAS Crops

ATcHIsoN, Kan, June 4-The Missouri
Pacific has received crop reports from 125
stations in Kansas and Nebraska. With
the exception of few localities in Ne
braska, where spring wheat is little
backward, everything is in splendid condi-
tiop and full of promise. There never was
such prospect for winter wheat There
is a large increase in the acreage of all
cereals over last year, except in the remote
west, where there is decrease of corn. 1t
is in the west that the hot winds have
been SO frequent of late years, and farmers
have grown a little afraid of corn because
it natures late, but where there is a de-
crease OF corn acreage the increase Of the
wheat acreage is larger in proportion than
elsewhere. In the eastern counties the in
crease of corn will more than make up for
the decrease in the west. II is expected
that the wheat harvest will commence in
northern Kansas about June 20
Superintendent Rathburn, who has just
returned from a tour of the Central Branch
division of the Missouri Pacific, says the
country between Downs and Stockton, in
Osborne and Rocks counties, a distance of
forty-two miles, will ship out 1,00G car
loads of wheat this season. An average
train is composed of twenty loads. The
country will snip out more than q train
load OF wheatifor every mile.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4-Several big
capitalists of Frisco have united in the
formation of an athletic club, solely
devoted to pugihsm, like the Granite club.
John ID. and Adolph Sprecbles, sons OF the

many rich men, including ex-senator Fair.
They have over 300 men pledged TO take
stock and become active members, and
have purchased a piece of property CEN

of all ring affairs. There is no question of
the success of the venture, with men be-
hind it like the Spreckles and Fair; who
have unlimited resources.
