design of Rear Admiral Ammen, United
States navy, the design to be based upon
his experience with rams in the war of the
rebellion.
The Bath iron works in January, 1891,
took the contract to build and equip the
vessel and machinery and place the armor,
for $03O,OOO. On March q, 1891, the de-

TO Open the Worlds Fair Without
Prayer.

CHIcAGo, ILL., Two reasons were given
by the Worlds Fair directors for nrrapg-
ing q programme for opening tho Ex.
position without the prayer usual on such
occasions. The first was the difficulty
In sciecting minister who would be-
agreeable to all Churches. The second
rcaeon, as given by Director Lawrence,
was that "prsyors are not necessary on
such an occasicn." Then Mr.. Lawrence
added: eve will open the Exposition
just a. . store or bank is opened for
business, and nobody ever heard of a
store being opened by prayer" 1t Is
thought probable that The National Com.
mission will demand place on the pro.
granime for prayers.

WAR is IMMINENT.
The Growing European Crisis Greatly Ag.
Gravatcd by Italy's Condition.


Gravatcd by Italy's Condition.
1t is the Italian situation which most
directly threatens in this growing Eu-
ropean crisis. France has shown sur
prising and most creditable restraint
during the past two weeks. Her ambi-
tious purpose has not been misjudged by
those who have seen the sinister designs
behind her protestations of peace, but
she is wise enough to know that the hour
for the execution of her plans has not
quite come. But if Italy assumes an ag-
gressive part she will play into French
hands. France is ready, and with her
new ally at her back will rejoice if one
of her adversaries will assume the re-
sponsibility of making the attack.
The situation in Italy does not i'm
prove. 1t has become intolerable, and
some violent result of the crisis seems
inevitable. There is some truth in the
statement that the trouble is caused
more by moral than material decadence
Patriotism has wanad. The country is
bankrupt-not because it cannot pay its
taxes, but because it will not pay. The
reply of the Marquis di Rudini to Pre-
mier Giolitti is justified when he says it
is useless to impose additional taxes, be-
cause they will yield no more than the
old ones. The people best able to pay
will, the marquis asserts, evade pay
ment with more ingenuity and persever-
ance.
Giolitti's government recognizes the
truth of this observation, and it is this
fact which gives color to the reports
that the present ministry has been con-
sidering war with France as desper-
ate remedy for the solution of its dilem-
ma. The people would willingly supply
the sinews of war. but they refuse long
er to be victims of the thieves in high
places, whose guilt is notorious. but who
are protected by all the resources of the
government and crown. If winter were
just ending instead of approaching, it
would be question of days only, in the
opinion of many people, when Italy
would fire the first gun in the greatest of
European wars.
Meantime the crisis is a most embar
RAISING one for the present rulers of the
peninsula. It is difficult to see how the
winter can be passed without crash of
some sort. Already the popular discon-
tent is at the point of revolution in some
parts of the Kingdom. The government
continues to pour troops into Sicily, and
its newspaper organs virtually admit
that the aim is the suppression of sedi-
ton rather than the extirpation of brig
andage, although the latter laudable

Citations Of revolutionary socialists have
membership of 100000, embracing all
classes in Sicily. Even some regiments
are tainted, and severe disciplinary
measures have had to be taken against a
regiment of artillery at present in the
garrison at Palermo. The Sun corre-

Ears and Character.

You never saw poet or painter with
large, coarse ears that stand out from
the head like extended wings. That kind
OF an auricular appendage betokens
coarseness of mind. A long, narrow ear
that lies fiat to the head is sign of pug
nacity. Never trust man with a thin
waferlike ear. Hewas born hypocrite
if not thief. A very small ear betol,.
ems trifiing mind, lacking decision.
Ears set very high on the head Indicate
narrowness of mind. A large. sEwell
shaped ear that does not spread itself TO
the breeze is indicative Of generoifsness
Most of the world compellers had large
ears and well developed noses. Althousb
