JOSEPH PULITZER, proprietor of the
New York World, has just given $780,
600 to the building fund of Columbia
college. This endowment is for the ex-
press purpose of enabling the poor boys
of the pubic schools of New York who
win in open competition the collegiate
scholarships heretofore established by
Mr.. Pulitzer an opportunity to obtain
the preparation necessary for their adj
mission to a college of tho first rank.
Mr.. Pulitzer made this last contribution
in commemoration of the tenth ami
versary Of his control of The World. and
it is in keeping with his many beneic-
lent acts in years past.

if it should occur to the South Sea

should be any difficulty about procuring
their peculiar viands for the purpose, we
merely suggest that there are something

ago. Some people, as intimared by our
dispatches, think it strange that the old,
decayed structure should fall down on
the very day of Edwin Booth + funeral,
the actor being a brother Of the Booth
who killed the great president. The
building was used for the army and
navy museum, and has always been util-
lied by the government since the tragic
episode of 1865. 1t seems strange, how
ever, that more care was moi taken of
the lives of men in the government en-
ploy who were given office room in the
old death-trap. Somebody must be to
blame for this accident, and no doubt a
rigid investigation will be had.

AMERICAN girls with money who go to
Germany with the ostensible purpose Of
educating themselves are making a Gus
tom Of looking out for titled.husbands.
The newspapers have had occasion to
discuss the subject considerably, and
the latest case of a Kentucky girl will
serve to point a moral. In this case the
Jacksonville girls count was All officer
in the German army, and he promised
to get a leave of absence and come over
to the blue grass region to marry the
girl. whose name is Miss Mary l.. Peter.
IT was said that the count had secured
a leave Of absence and the fashionable
set looked forward with keen anticipa-
tion to the swell affair, but the LIST OF
June found Count Gersdorf still. in Ber-
lin. and no preparation had been made
for the Wedding. Count GersdOrf had
failed to get a leave Of absense. 1t is
understood that had Miss Peter married
the count in Berlin her possessions,
which are reckOned at $1,000, would
have been surrendered to her husband.
Miss Peter was persuaded to have the
marriage take place at home, 81 she
could retain control Of her money. This

ENTREME Sabbatarlans arranged some
time since to hold a convention at In
d%ianapolis for the purpose of making
public opinion against opening the fair
on Sundays. 1t seems that the project
is now likely to collapse, and that no
further organized effort in the name of
religion will be made against the teach
ing on Sunday of the greatest moral OBJ
iect lesson the world has ever seen. Rev.
Il. Y. Hunter. national chairman Of the
Christian EndcavOr worlds fair Sunday
closing committee. has resigned his OF
tice. and in doing so says: II consider
we have no further work since the courts
have taken the matter in charge Of open
ing and closing the gates. Some Of the
members want to keep up the fight by
ursing religious organizations to keep
away from the fair. but ! am not
one in that mood. | am doing
all can to cancel the Indianap-
oils convention to he held 18th, 10Th and
10Th Of this month called to discuss the
closing Of the fair. There is no use of
this contention. Secretary Bacr Of the
United States Christian Endeavor So
ciety, Of Boston, also agrees with ne
that the work Of the Sunday closing
committee is now finished and there is
no need Of further agitation" From
which it would appear that Mr., Hunter
has found the light. and that he realizes
that morals are furthercd more by the
tair doing a good business on Sunday
than by the saloons and dives being
throngod on that day as they were when
the fair was closed on Sunday.

has been indefinitely postponed. Now
this is one Of the common difficulties of
marrying foreigners they always want
control of the money of the girls who

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
DOG IN THE MANGER.
d JUNE IS. 1898.

IL is not the pract CO or the wish OF
this paper to be unduly harsh towards
persons who differ from its views. We
believe, however, that we echo the voice
of the people, and especially that OF
property-owners on Central avenue
when we say that the pavement of the
avenue is practically a universal demand
We are credibly informed that Mr.
Chowen and Mr.. Coombs were signers Of
the petition which led the city to this
expensive undertaking, and that their
opposition to the enterprise is of very
recent birth. 1t MAJ be very kind of
them to take upon themselves to do bat
tie for the interest of Central avenue
property owners. but AS a matter of fact
agree with the kickers regarding the
paving question, and the said kickers
are accused of playing the part Of the
dog in the manger.
The minority, which attempted to pre-
vent the paving of Man street in Helena
last year. was sat down upon very effect
lively by the courts for this very reason.
1t was readily seen that the kickers we're
simply trying to further what they re-
garded as their individual interests
rather than to stand in with their neigh
bors for the public good. Their whine
was listened to and ignored and the
work went on to completion.
Great Falls is assured a very much
better pavement at a cost which, in the
end. will be considerably less than that
Of Helena. 1t means a street that can
be kept clean and %presentable in all
kinds Of weather. 1t means a decided
enhancement in the value Of property,
and it means ID city improvement such
as does not exist in any other city of the
same size N the American continent.
As TO tie allegations of the complain
ants against this contract, they are
sheer mOonshine, and we do not believe
they will stand the scrutiny Of the SUI
prem" court ii moment. There might
be some reason for a contention that the
price is too nigh. but that should have
been attended to at the time the con
tract was made. The supreme court
Will doubtless take into consideration
tina, the contractor has proceeded in
good faith under the terms Of the con
tract as made hy the CitN- agents: that

" there has hitherto been any doubts
as to tine feeling of the public on the
question Of paving Central avenue, all
such doubts have been removed by the
events of the last forty eight hours, and
it is now certain that the people of this
city with one voice demand the prompt
fultilment of the paving contract, The

A. the season for tramps is now at
be filed with them. it may be as well for
people to understand that there are
among the nomads Of this country many
INSCRIPTIONS and some dangerous men.
Their depradations in Montana have not
been very serious. but this story from
Cannon Fails, MINI. shows the charac-
ter Of some Of the tramps on the road
this year: Charles 4. Quist, about IL
years old. a son of A. y. Quist was out
in the timber about a mile from his
fathers house, two miles from town,
grubbing, whom a stranger came up to
him and asked him if he could get some
work. The boy replied that he could
not, as they did all their " work. The
man. after sitting down for some time,
commenced gathering leaves and put
them under a large brush pile and set
fire to it. After the fire had started to
burn iiercely he caught hold OF the boy,
and after a fierce struggle picked him
up and threw him head first into the
burning mass. The man Their ran away
and the boy managed to get out Of the
fire. though he was terribly though not
fatally burned. a posse Of men from
the village and vicinity secured the tim
Der for miles around in search Of the
miscreant. Such a decd could have
been committed, one would think, only
by a ~lunatic, but it is horrible to know
that danger like this exists in a civilized
country.

Tendency Of Dogs TO Fight.

In countries where dogs are used for
amount of skill on the part of the drivers
to get W teams past enc another. In
Labrador whenever two dog teams meet
they try to stop and fight.
The dogs which are used for traction
are extremely ferocious by nature and
their tcmpels are in no wise improved
by the state of scmi-starvation IN which
they live. During the summer time
they get nothing from their masters, and
have to pick up a living as best they
can. This is no easy task, and any
leather straps or old boots which may be
found lying about are eagerly swallowed.
In the winter they are supplied with
salt fish for breakfast and likewise for
supper, and this unpleasant diet does
not tend TO reduce the combative spirit
within them. And, therefore, if two
slcdges chance 10 meet, in nine cases
out of ten the dogs fall upon one an
other with the most complete disregard
for the cries of their masters or the cuts
of the cruel, long dashed whips.
The result of forty dogs all falling on
one another at the same time may be
imagined. Over go the sledges, out
tumble the drivers and anything else
they have behind them. As "A rule a
few minutes struggling will find all the
dogs so entangled that they cannot
move.
1t should be borne in mind that every
dog has his own particular trace. 10 one
end of Which lie is attached, and TO the
other the sleigh. These traces of ours
vary in length according TO the wearer's
position in the team, and the leader is
often fifty feet away from the wheeler.
The consequence is, that in IA short
time dogs and slcighs get wound up in
an intricate tangle, and it takes the
drivers a long time 10 unravcl each dog
and prevent him renewing the onslaught
the moment he is free.
To prevent the dogs fighting in the
night the owners have devised n very
clever kennel which stops any little dis
turbances Of that kind. All dogs stand
on their hind legs TO fight, SO that they
have their fore feet for wrestling pur-
poses. The kennels are made so low
that this little is impos-
sible, and fighting, therefore, is out of
the question: Pcarson's Weekly.

Making Tea i'm Japan.

leaves and then, having poured the hot
water into the pitcher that it may cool a
little, pours it into the teapot OF leaves.

that the bad words she wanted very

she made seated on an old rough casta

the city's multitude passed her by, no
one gave the pathetic little figure more
than Il slight glance. Even the boot
black who had gone yelling away up the
street Instantly forgot her. They had
been the cause of the tear-stained checks,
and by their haunting words had de
prived her OF all courage to attempt to
play. When they espied poor little Nan
how they did yell shouting SO that every
one within a block could have heard (:
What a mandolin, "1What IA mandolin"
"Where did We pick 'em up, outten the
gutter" Poor little street wait, it
seemed to her she had not a friend. The
harsh words of Aunt Milly rang in her
ears as she sat there crying alone. Little
Nan could not remember her parents,
both having died when she was very
small. So in some way she had fallen in
the hands of an old woman, whom she
called Aunt Milly and who was most
unkind to her. And one morning in n
fit of passion she had said, Take your
fathers old barjo and 20 out and earn
your own living. I'm tired keeping n

had come to try to play upon the streets.
