Where the Blow Falls.

From the Topeka Democrat.
The Santa Fe has laid off about 12J
more n,en. They are from all depart
ments, and some of them have been with
the company many years. One man had
been working in the shops continually
for almost twelve years. The financial
depression was the cause. The officers
of the road state that they must make
the expenditures Of the road keep even
with the receipts. The increase of
$500. 900 in taxes made by the board of
railroad assessors was a hard blow for
the company and undoubtedly had some
thing to do with the reduction of ex-
penSes.

The failure of the pork spectators in
Chicago need not cause any tears of sor-
row in Kansas. II all the gamblers III

better order of things. The scoundrel-
ism of holding mess pork at $40 or $40 Il

The failures are death to the gamblers
on the board of trade, but they are no
damage to The country. The power OF

War and the Worlds Fair.
From Harper's Weekly.

ITOm Wcckiy.
As the first great Worlds Fair held
in London in 1851 was shortly after
wards followed by the Crimean war, so
some Of its successors have had more
or less great wars closely on their
heelS If the Worlds Fairs did not
bring on those wars they certainly did
prevent them. But ourC Columbian cele-
bration presented one spectacle which
is probabaly without precedent, and
should be of good augury. Many of
those who witnessed the great par
ade OF sailors and marines on the
streets of New York ON April 27th
may not have been mindful Of the fact
that they saw something that perhaps
had never happened within memory of
the present generation, and would not be
possible anywhere else in the world:
sailors and soldiers Of ten different ma.
tons, with arms in their hands, united
in one festive array -Englishmen,
Russians, Germans, and Frenchmen
belonging to the armed forces of rival
powers that may, as is thought, at any
moment come to blows among them
selves-peaceably marching with mus
ket on their shoulders and swords at
their sides behind one another in one
column. 1t was spectacle emblematlc
to the position of this great American
republic among the nations of the
earth-the great peace power OF the
world embracing in its hospitality the
great war powers of the world for 2
celebration of human progress and
mutual goodwill.

A New Chapter In Reading.

The first serious slept toward laying
bare the condition of Reading and the
acts which led the company into a
recievership and bankruptcy is taken
in the statement by Mr.. Isaac l..
Rice, having special reference to
the operations last Fall in stock Of Bos.
tor & Main and the New York & New
England Railroads, with the securities
of Reading and its cash as collateral
and purchase money.
Mr.. Rice was the Reading financial
representative in London, and he has
been for some time conducting an in
vestigation into its affairs on behalf
of foreign and American bondholders.
He makes the present statement, how
ever, independent of his principals and
as result of his own personal in
qulres. 1t appears, from the statement
which he makes, that in September
24,o36 shares of Boston & Maine and
$4,000 shares OF New York & New
England were purchase by Mr.. Mcleod
and the purchase secured by the use
Of Reading securities. At the present
time these transactions leave the
Reading involved to the amount of
$3.50, 900 in cash and S2,6oa,ooo in
securities, par value, In Decem-
ber, and after considerable loss had
been sustained, the Reading directors
made the company responsible for
these transactions, and ratified the
use Of securities belonging to the CON-
pany pledged for purchases previously
made in Mr.. McLeod's name.
Mr.. Rice's statement will attract
the profoundest public attention. No
one will presume to pass upon it with
out considering all Mr.. Mcleod has to
say and until all the collateral facts are
known. 1t is enough to say now that
the charges made require the fullest
and most complete answer. They can
not be treated as mere incidents or
accidents in the endeavor to give
Reading New England connection.
The public has right to all the facts.
When Reading suspended, 1t was for
lack of $4,000. Yet at that very time
$25o, 1000 was paid by the Reading on
account of these stock transactions.
No one concerned, neither Mr..
Mcleod nor the receivers, neither
the court nor the public authorities,
can let the matter rest as it now stands
on Mr.. Rice's statement. An impartial
and unsparine investigation is indis-
pensable. The entire series of trans.
actions involved, and which ended by
involving Reading, must be laid bare
and the relations of each person con-
cerned must be made clear.-Press.

A Conditional Fee.

A Mt. Carmel pastor was sitting in
his library one evening recently when
a knock at the door came. He answered
and found a couple who desired to be
united In matrimony. The pastor asked
them into his parlor and performed the
marriage ceremony, after which the
groom handed him a sealed envelope
supposed to have contained the usual
compensation. The happy couple de,
parted, and the reverend gentleman
opened the envelope and found the
following note: "If she turns out
as think she will, l will come back
and pay you for your service."-M.

No "R' Required.

The popular fallacy that it is illegal
to sell oysters or expose them for sale
during months without an ST" in their
names is exploded. The act of June 2
1901, gave oyster dealers permission to
sell oysters all the year round. Prev
ious to that time, the act of April 10,
1873, was in force, which imposed a
fine of $Ioo upon any person who
offered oysters for sale during June,
Tuly or August. But dealers openly
sold oysters in prohibited season, and
latterly the prosecutions were few and
far between.
