Sir Morton Frewen is among the bloom
ing Englishmen who saunter around the
Knutsford corridors in baggy trousers
and double breasted sack coats that fit
like coffee sack on stump. Sir Morton
is perfect athlete, ard there are few
men who can stand up to him with the
gloves, and he can shoot quicker and
straighter than scout of the plains. He
is as fine man mentally as he is formid-
able physically, and mas more silver
statistics at his command than any man
in America, Senator Stewart and Jones
not excepted. Sir Morton, the wires in
formed us, cut quite a figure before the
silver conference, and he is max
ing his influence felt among fnan-
cial aristocrats of the old world,
he having entry into court
circles by reason of his Sirship. He is a
brother-inlaw of Randolph Churchill,
having married one OF the beautiful
and wealthy daughters OF Mr.. Jerome of
New York city. Mr.. Post, from whom
these facts were CLEANED, says that Lady
Frewen is the most beautiful woman he
ever saw and lives in great style in the
aristocratic quarter of London.

G. z. Vale, who recently returned from

somewhat disconnected over the ru-
NOR that had been industriously
circulated prior to his return to the effect
that he would bring back with him a
beautiful Mrs. Vale. When Mr.. Vale
stepped into the Knutsford corridor
Clerk Harris and the rest of the boys
showered their congratulations, to the
confusion of the recipient. They all
ogled their eyes in the direction of the
elevator in search of the bride, 1t occu-
pied much of Mr.. Vale's time for two
weeks to explain how it came that he had
not married, and he is waiting for the
man who tied the knot ahead of time to

Clerk Harris of the Knutsford is one of
the most impromptu wielders of a faciIe.
and often brilliant pen, to be met with
outside the ranks of the liteerateur He
has the felicity of Eugene Field and the
pungency of Bill Nye, a quizzical con-
struction of composition that is both
ludicrous and delightful. Should he ever
undertake Greek versions and adaptations
he will astonish his friends and confound
his enemies-if he has any. His brain is
scintillating with brilliant repartee and
so acute is the pellucid matter that it
shines through the thin exterior, radient
with glamour and acuteness that can be
felt like the rays OF the MONDAY sun.

| But ii he had spoken the truth about the matter
! he would have told you that the first volume of
the latest edition OF the Encyclopaedia Britain
| MICA Was issued fifteen years ago, and that the
| greater part of it was compiled at that date.
SO you see they didn't get General Grant In it
| after all
That depends on the kind of book You want.
Let me ask You question or two. You live
[ here in the United States, don't you?
Yes, thought SO. Now tell me. about which
do you want the most detailed information. an
American city or an English town? An Amer
lean statesman or an English statesman?
just SO. But, you see, the Encyclopsedia
Britannica wasn's compiled for the use Of men
like you. 1t was put together to be used by
Englishmen IN England. And, you see, they
want the exact opposite Of what you do, andthe
Encyclopedia Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. It fills pages with the account of
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything
about whatever, aud gives half dozen lines to
some State or city here that you want the fullest
particulars of, but about which an Englishman
| cares just nothing nt all.
Right as trivet, whatever that may be-
never saw one that know Of. But you're Just
exactly right, all the same. It's the AMERI-
CANNED Encyclopedia Britannica that we
propose to put in every home in the West. The
long-winded articles on petty British subjects
have been cut down to the same length that
would have been given them had they been
French or German subjects, and the articles on
matters of American interest have been all re-
written and treated just rs extensively az they
would have been in the original work had they
been specially interesting 90 Englishmen.
Well, rather. One of the best and most COM
plete ever written. And there are four thou.
sand new biographies besides. In fact, the
work contains the life of every distinguished
man or woman, American or foreign, now living,
or who has died since the Encyclopedias Brf
| tannica was compiled.
Oh, yes, a few. The entire work has been re.
7ised down to the present year for one thing;
Then an entirely new set of maps has been
added, including separate map for each State

Ten good sized volumes, excellsntly bound.

Probability That tho Minnesota Com
mitteo WIN Drop Its Inquiries.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 4.-When the wheat
investigation committee appointed by
the last legislature adjourned last sum
mer it was to meet again on the first
Tuesday in January, 1899. G. A. Sew.
eranoe, one of the attorneys represent
ing the elevator interests, was seen at
his residence ON Summit avenue, and
asked what he knew about the resump-
ton of the inquiry. @
mot thing" was his reply. "The
adjournment was until Jan. 5, and l
presume the committee will meet at the
capitol, but / have not seen a member
of the committee in long time, and
know nothing of what is proposed to be
DONE" III ~~ .,
w. w. Erwin, counsel for the Grain
Growers Association, was also seen and
stated that he knew absolutely nothing
as to the intention of the grain growers.
II have not seen or talked with mem
Der of the ASSOCIATION since the adjourn
ment," said he, "and do not even know
whether or not it is their intention to
pursue the matter any further"
The fact that Mr.. Erwin has not been
advised by the Grain Growers associa-
ton of its future plans, naturally leads
to the inference that possibly the inves.
tigation will not be pushed and that the
making up of a report would constitute
their sole business at this time.

OF INTEREST TO NEW TOWNS.

Decision in the Case of the Northern Pa
cific Against Territory of Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. A case involv.
ing matter of much interest to new
towns, particularly those in the West,
was disposed of by the United States
supreme court. 1t was that of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company VS..
the Territory of Washington.
The town of Yakamie City in that
state was directly on the line of the
railroad, but the railroad refused to
give it passenger and freight station,
but established one at North Yakamie,
a much smaller town. The town Of
Yakamie City made application for a
writ of mandamus to compel the COM
pany to establish station there, and it
was granted. The case was brought to
the federal supreme court and in its de-
cision it sustains the railroad company,
holding that the charter of the company
simply authorised it without requiring
it to construct and maintain, "a railroad
to a certain point and that at cannot be
compelled by mandamus to complete OF
to maintain its road toThat point when
it would not, be remunerative..
Justice Brewer, for Justices Field,
Harlan and himself, delivered a vigor-
GUS dissenting opinion.
