EDITOR STEAD OF London is having
the Bible undergo process that he
terms It's translation into the Ian
guage Of ordinary people. While Mr..
Stead's scholarly assistants are daily
ing with the phraseology of Holy
Writ, it is more than probable that
with so original guide as Mr.. Stead
they will also mold its sentiment To
suit their modern ideas. A bible
edited and revised by Stead might not
be faultless as guide, but it would
be unique.

THERE is always an undercurrent OF
warfare in the conversation OF people
who think they know something.
The person who has been to Europe
is vexed when the conversation turns
upon something he can't talk so well
about. Every one has particular
subject he thinks he knows all about,
and there is a constant pulling OF
strings to bring the conversation his
way. Commonplace people who
don't know so much are much hap
pier takers, and more appreciated.

AN ingenious German has reduced
so trifling a matter as boiling eggs to
absolute science, and has devised a
watch for that purpose for particular
people. The watch has series Of dials
to mark hard, soft, and medium, fol
ducks and hens eggs, there being,
however, but single hand OF
pointer. The mechanism marks the
minutes and half minutes up to ten,
and even the dullest OF servants by
the aid OF the apparatus can tell when
to remove the boiler from the fire.

WHEN famous man does wrong,
a great many parents will begin to
deny that they named their children
for him. The number OF foolish peO-
pie who name their children for great
men before the men are dead, and
past doing disgraceful acts, is very
large The government has better
sense; it never puts great mans

THE recruiting of the army under

THE recruiting of the army under
the present system OF fixed stations
is so slow that the Secretary Of War
has ordered that the present method
OF regfmental recruiting be made to
include, within certain territorial
limits travelling recruiting parties,
to be composed of an officer and a
party OF eight or ten men, and to
proceed from point to point, at pre-
scribed times, for the purpose of en-
listing men for the army. No doubt
this will have tendency to popular
ize the army and stimulate recruiting.

To BE a gentleman and to live lik

To BE gentleman and to live like
a gentleman ought to be the same;
but in common acceptation, they
have no connection, are indeed often
opposed. To be gentleman means
a great deal-far more than many
who claim to be gentlemen have any
conception OF. To live like gentle
man refers generally to externals
alone, to outside presentation, to
keeping up appearances.

STATUS OF THE BLAND BILL.
Speaker Crisp Refuses to Aid In bringing
1t to Vote.

Mr. Crisp has deserted the standard OF free
silver, at least for the present. When the
House met on Monday morning he announced
that the committee on rules would not bring
ina rule TO shut of flabusterng on the silver
bill unless requested TO by n majority OF the
Democrats. When this announcement was
made a petition was Immediately drawn up,
but II seems doubtful is the required number
of signatures will be obtained, us many
Democrats declined to sign IT,
Mr.. Bland is not only disappointed but an.
cry. He charges Speaker Crisp with bad
faith. He said:
II made the move that the House adjourn
on Thursday at the instance Of the Speaker,
and with his emphatic statement that he
would report rule cutting OIL hlIbusierlng
motions, and bring the bill to n vote.

room and met Judge Crisp. lie then advised

day Monday, preventing all flibusiering

ferred To his committee, with the distinct un.

getting majority Of the members ON n petit

course the Speaker has great power and since
he has shown a disposition To lay the bill on
the table, members who have confidence IN
him Will 20 with him and this leaves Us with

AN UNHAPPY REPUBLIC.
THE REVOLUTION IN VENEZUELA
Reports Contradictory but Anarchy Ger
tainly Prevails.

A letter under date of March 10 has been
received at New York from a correspondent
ut Caracas, Venezuela.
II appears from this that the cablcd reports
of tho victory of the government troops under
General Rangel over the rcvolutionists, COM
mandcd by General Crcspo, are untrue, and
that the cause of the revolution is in the as
ccndant.
General Rangel is supposed to have been
shot and his government forces have been
routed. President Palacio proclaimed himself
dictator.
The fighting occurred beyond La Victoria
and was between body of government troops
under General Rangcl and strong force of
revolutlonists under General Crcspo. Tie re-
port Is that Rangel prepared trap for Crcs-
po, but that after few shots had been fired
the revolutlonists rushed in and captured the
government force.
1t Is further reported that General Rangel
was shot in sight of his men and that the gov
ernmcnt force was given the choice of joining
the rcvolutlonsts or returning to Caracas.
The officers decided to return to Caracas, but
the men, 1t Is said, Joined Crespo's ranks.
Government sources declare that General
Rangcl, with COO men, had n running fight
with General Crcspo and 1900 men. Rangcl
was driven back TO La Victoria, where he
tclcgraphcd for rcinforcements.
The government denies that CANCEL has
been killed. The rumor is also circulated
that unless the government troops are re-
inforced Crespo will get as far as Los Tcques,
twenty miles from here, by Monday

DYNAMITE IN PARIS.
ANARCHISTS AGAIN TRY TO KILL
Tho Residence of NJ. Boulot, tho Public
Prosecutor, Blown Up.

There was n terrific explosion OF dynamite
last Sunday afternoon at No. 80 Rue Clichy,
the home Of NJ. Boulot, the public prosecutor,
whose life has been repeatedly threatened by
anarchists. The police say that Mt least eight
pounds of dynamite must have been used.
The effect Of the explosion was tremendous.
Houses for an eighth Of mile on every side
were rocked as II by an earthquake. All the
windows In the nclghborhood were shattered,
aud the walls of the strongest buildings In
the vicinity were cracked and bulged No.
30 is a wreck.
The explosion, which is supposed TO have
taken place In the lower hallway, blew the
stairway TO splinters, so that the panic
stricken inmates had to be helped down from
the upper floors with ladders. The furniture
throughout the house was thrown into heaps
against the walls, and not whole chair or
table remained. The windows, frames and
all, were blown out, and bricks were driven
from their places and dropped to the street.
The plastering was stripped clean from the
walls and ceilings. Immediately after the
explosion flames and smoke burst forth from
the building
The flremen were summoned, and ladders
were put up to the sccond-story windows,
where chemist stood with his wife In his
arms. She had given birth to child only four
hours before the explosion. The ilremen got
her and her husband and baby out first.
Others came down the fre-escape to the Sec
ond story and were taken by ilremcn TO the
strect. Seven persons were einjurcd by the ex-
plosIon by being thrown from their chairs In
which they were sitting, and three by falling
debris. The last three may die.
NJ. Bulot, who lived on the fifth floor, is said
TO have escaped without injury.
The police are convinced that the anarchists
have begun war Of determination on all per-
sons in Office who have antagonized them, so
as TO frighter magistrates and deter them from
convicting their comrades.
A leading anarchist gives this as the pro.
gramme Of their comrades: "Thc anarchists
have In their hands the means OF securing i'm
munity from the courts and public officials.
These means consist of holding personally re.
sponsiblc every individual who assists In con.
vlcting them. We don't intend to make the
innocent suffer with the guilty, and we warn
people not to live IN houses with persons who
are active in prosecuting"
