1000, 600 visitors, at least, are
expected at the Columbian Exposi-
ton; aud whether you expect to be
one Of them or not, as an American,
naturally you are interested in the
preparations for the grand event. A
splendid paper in Demorest's Family
Magazine for April, The Evolu-
ton Of Great Exposition is the
best thing Of the kind that has yet
been published. From it you may
learn all the interesting points about
the coming Worlds Fair, and the
illustrations are simply superb, in
GLIDING comprehensive view and
the plan of the grounds, pictures OF
all the magnificent buildings, and
portraits of some of the leading Off
GERS having it in charge. "a Talk
about Trees aud Arbor Day" is a
timely and deeply interesting paper,
profusely illustrated with pictures
of the favorite trees planted in diff
ferent sections Of the United States
so accurately delineated that each
may be easily recognized when met
with; German without Master"
furnishes invaluable suggestions for
the study of that useful language;

No Increase

The bill to increase the salaries OF
Judges is not in response to a public
demand. The matter has not even
been considered by the people. and
il its fate we're left to them it would
be decided adversely. The fact that
the best talent is always obtainable
al the present salaries, is strong evil
dence that no increase is necessary.
And when it is remembered that the
ablest lawyers IN the State have con-
tested, and sharply, too, for places
on the bench, the evidence is posi-
tive and conclusive against the ne
cessity OF an increase. In the coun-
ties very few lawyers make at the
bar more than the salary of an as
sociate judge, aud there has been
but one resignation in Baltimore,
and that was not based on the mea-
greness OF the salary, SO far rs we
are aware. The struggles for the
judgeship in 1867 and 1882 were
most bitter, as have been some since
and the Office at the present salary
is eagerly sought by the best legal
talent.-Dem. Aduocafe.
Ii bill was introduced to in
crease the salary of the Governor 1t
would more likely meet with approx
81. No State in the Union pays its
Executive such niggerdly salary
as that OF Maryland. We are not
favorable to salary grabs, but we do
think that our Governor should
have an increase OF salary.

A Russian Custom.

In ompliance with an ancient Russian
custom, all the young men and women of
the mercantile class in st. Petersburg as
semble on Whit Monday, the former to
stare and the latter to be stared at. The
young girls, dressed as richly their
means will allow, are arranged in long
rows by the sides of the flower beds in the
Summer garden with their mammas stand
ing behind them. The wardrobes of their
mothers and grandmothers are laid under
contribution, and everything bright and
gaudy is carefully brought forward to en-
rich the drapery, the headdress or the
girdle.
Some of the young ladies are so covered
that their natural charms are altogether
concealed; indeed the ludicrous excess to
which this sort of decoration is sometimes
carried goes beyond what has ever been at
tempted elsewhere. Thus bedizened, the
blushing damsels are drawn up in mute
! rows, while the papas, in flowing caftans
and curling boards, parade their sons up
and down. Here and there the papas and
mammas try to lead the young folks into
| conversation with one another, in the
| course of which certain little looks and
| emotions may arise, pregnant with future
| circumstances. Eight days after this
| take place, at which those whose hearts
are captivated Mt the grand show are more
| formally affianced to one another by their
| parents and relatives.-''Sketches of St.
| Petersburg"

Was 1t an Outrage?

A shabbily dressed young man stood in
the shadow of the stairway leading 10 the
Battery place station of the |. road Thurs
day afternoon. He was talking with the
proprietor of = newsstand whose wares are
displayed beneath the stairs. A>stalvart
policeman wRs strollinS leisureiy along the
| sidewalk whirlins his day stick, which
was attached 10 his wrist by leather
thong.
The young man did not see the police
| man coming, and the policeman apparently
had no idea that the young man was there
until he had passed the entrance to the
stairway. \ great change came e~er the
policeman when he saw the men by the
newsstand. Without word he stepped
up TO the young man and gave him a sting
ing blow on the jaw. There was so much
force in the blow that the young man mar
rowly escaped falling down and the police
mans stick dropped from his wrist.
All this looked exactly like one of those
brutal police outrages that occasionally
arouse the indignation of citizens. Ger
tainly it had all the appearance of unpro-
voked assault. When I asked the police
man what his action meant. he replied
pleasantly:
"Why, he's just one of gang of about
fifty professional beggars and toughs who
infest this side of the street Tenants have
tried in vain to dislodge them or break up
the gang. They're not only a nuisance.
but a menace to people who have to pass
here. They go further than begging
They've been known actually to lay hold
OF a man and not let go until he gave them
money try to keep the sidewalk clear
of them, and about the only effective way
is to punch them once in awhile.-New

Perhaps their thrift might also be

When the lawyer had q good chance he

America is the absorbing topic of dis
cusslon, so far as foreign affairs are c0n-
cerned, and it is intimated strongly
that, should the American government
attempt retaliation against Canada,
England will withdraw from arbitra-
ton, and meet anyissue that the United
States may choose to raise in the Behr-
ing sea with plain assertion of the
right of English subjects 10 hunt for
seal outside OF the recognized limit OF
United States jurisdiction. The Tories
are desperate for an issue that would
arouse ilngOism, and rally the country
to the support of the government.
There has been a notable disposition of
late on the part of the newspapers com
monty supposed to be in the con-
fidence of the government to fos-
ter feeling of hostility to Amer
lea and 10 arouse an impression
that Americans are unfriendly to Great
Britain. In naval quarters, while Off
Gals are reticent, unofficially it is stated
that the British squadron in the Pacific
can be depended upon to do its duty in
the event of any encounter with the
Americans. 1t is we'll known that, dur
ing the recent revolution IN Chill, the
sympathies of Rear Admiral Charles
+. Hotham and his fellow officials
were strongly with the reVolutlOnlStS.
and that they would have liked nothing
better than a chance to rebuke the
course of the American navy. Not a
few of the CHILEAN naval officers had
been trained in company with the
British officers, and there was strong
fellow-teeling. This feeling has not
diminished with Chili's surrender to
the American demands.
Rightly or wrongly, the sentiment of
the Tories, expressed in the clubs, the
parliamentary Hobbies, and publicly eX-
pressed, is that jingo policy towards
America on the Behring sea question
would be the best policy TO pursue.

WASHINGTON WINDS.
Mrs. Senator Palmer and a Young
Lady Injured.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Shortly
after noon today the capital was visited
by rain and snow. The morning was
bright and mild. and save for dark
line of clouds in the West there was
nothing to indicate such sudden
change in the weather. About noon,
however, there was a decided change,
the skies becoming overloaded, and a
few minutes later the wind blew
fiercely.
Mrs. Palmer, wife of the Illinois sem
ator, who was on the way to the capitol.
had just gotten out OF a street car aud
was walking to the northeast entrance
to the capitol when the gust of wind
struck her, and In an instant lifted her
off her feet and threw her with great
force to the stone Tagging. Fortunately
that part of the head where the hair is
thickest struck the stone, and this pre-
vented serious injury. Her head was,
however, cut, and the blood flowed from
the wound as she was assisted to the
ladies' room of the senate. Senator
Palmer was on the floor of the senate at
the time, and was soon at the side of
Mrs. Palmer. 1t was found, upon eX-
animation, that the wound was not at
all serious, and after recovering from
the shock, Mrs. Palmer WAS driven
home. At the same instant Mrs. Palmer
was thrown down two young ladies
were also knocked off their feet by the
wind, and one of them was rendered in
sensible by striking her head on the
marble coping near the stairs. She was
picked up and taken to one of the COM
mittee rooms. and soon after after re-
covered consciousness.

WASHINGTON, March 10. = In the

who in personal note, signed G. b.. re-

resignation of -, to take
effect In thirty days, the blank meaning

Acting Secretary Chandler accepted the
resignation to take effect at once, but
subsequently modified the acceptance
so as to allow thirty days leave. Gen.

Mr.. EnlOe put in evidence the letter

this letter Howard said that over one
month before he wrote it he had made
certain grave charges against the ad-

had offered positive proof of the truth

truth of the charges. Continuing, How

petty insults and prosecutions since the
filing of the charges. He rendered his

THE BANK SUFFERS.
An Important South Dakota SUI
preme Court Decision.

An Important South Dakota SUI
preme Court Decision.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. d., March ia decision
OF unusual Importance, from the fact OF
its being the first one of the kind to DO
given in the country, was handed down
by the supreme court today. IL was in
the case of South Dakota against the
First National Bank of Clark. S. ID.
The court holds that the national char
acter Of bank does not protect it from
the laws of any state in the matter OF
usury. The sense of the decision may
be obtained from the following extracts:
'With few exceptions having no per-.
tinency to this case, the police power in
the United States belongs to and re-
sides in the states. The police power
Of the state yields to the act of congress.
for if is the supreme law of the land,'
but it yields only when and to the ex-
tent an enforcement Of the police law
would interfere with the act Of congress
or with the free exercise OF rights
or the discharge of duties ell
Joined by it. State sovereignty remains
unabridged for the punishment of all
crimes committed within the limits of It'll
except so far as they have been brought
within the sphere of federal jurIsdc-
ton Of the penal laws of the United
States. 1t would be a strained and un-
warranted deduction to conclude that
when congress imposed the usual civil
penalties far taking unlawful interest
common to nearly all state usuary laws,
it meant to have such penalties cover
other or different ground or have other
or different effect from the same penal
ties when found in corresponding pro-
visions of state laws"
The action is an OutgrOwth OF the
