GOVERNOR LEWBLLTNG'S Take
TALKE.

From the Kansas City Star.
There will doubtless be a simultaneous
exclamation all around from the Repub-
lican newspapers, "lowland and high
land, far and near" that Kansas will be
injured" by Governor dwellings in
augural address. But those who
sincerely indulge in this opinion over
estimate the power of talk. Happily,
the forces of nature. the useful trouble
OF the rain" the fall of the dew, the 60
ings forth of the sunshine are not affect
ed by talk. The properties and capaci-
ties Of the soil are not lessened, increas-
ed or changed by anything that comes
out of human lungs. Governor Lewell-
ing cannot affect Kansas, natural Kan
sas, any more than he can loose the
bands of Orion or bind the sweet in
fluence OF the Pieiades.' The des-
tiny Of Kansas has been decided by the
arrangements of nature, perfected prior
TO the writing of Governor dwellings
inaugural and even at a period anterior
TO that gentleman's birth. The matters
of climate, geographical location, wood,
water and grass were fixed even before
the passage OF the Kansas Nebraska act
and without reference to that famous
piece o. EpLl4IeSSitldl At8iSIdllDL. MduA
Inaugural addresses have been delivered
in Kansas, but no perceptibls influence
has been Observed on the meteorology
of the state a attentiyely studied for
the past quarter century. II may BE
safely concluded that while Kansas re-
mains what she i, the same
great fertile plain, Tilted TO tie

seek her and that Governor LEVEL
ing's address viii not make the slightest
difference in the immigration. Men
seeking a new country may look over
real estate newspaper, but nobody ever
yet consulted as an immigrants guide

plentiful in this country, which probably
accounts fer the fact that talk IS cheap,

Wall OF DISAPPOINT-
MENT.

From the Tope Ia Democrat.
That was a nice little seance Kansas
was treated to by the Pops" Yesterday.
First, Governor Leweling set the ball
rolling by casually remarking IN his in
ausural address that alongside OF neces-
sity the law and the state were not in It,
Then Jerry Simpson, in the evening,
followed up the LeweIlng idea, and,
with one wave of lis majestic hand,
brushed all law aside and advised his
hearers to organize the house whether
or no.
Molle Lease followed in the same
strain, with the admonition to put no.
body but Pops" Oh guard.
Then Annie Diggs hit us crack. She
glosied that she lad not a drop of Demo-
cratic blood in her veins, and declared
thatas the pops had now laid low
the Republicans they must take the
Democrats in hand and thrash the stuff
ing out of them.
Our old friend, G. C. Clemens, how
ever, knocked yerybody silly, even the
newIy elected "pops," by declaring that
he would put the ballots in the hands of
the women and children, or better still,
give the people no officers 10 vote for.
As ''Clem" truly said reform couldn't
scare him."
And this is the start of the great re-
form that is to sweep over the world?
1t has been said that the present class
of pops. e. "pops" now in control
of the state-are a great improvement
upon the 'pops" of two years ago.
Ii has also been said by eminent Re-
publican authority, namely, the Wichita
EAGLE, that Mr.. Lewelling is better than
his party; that he is conservative, high
minded, ETC., etc.
It has also been said-but pshaw, why
talk?
Mr.. LewellIng is no better and no
worse than his party, and it must be con-
fessed that the first blast of the popu-
lisic bugle is not very pleasing to Amer
lean ears, especially to Democratic ears.
The Democrat would, however, fam
give piece of advice to Mr.. LewellIng,
Jerry Simpson, Molie Lease and Mrs.
Dggs, and that is: You had better
pull up pretty short, or the people of
Kansas will wipe all of you off the face
of the earth at the next general election.
All this rot about revolution, disobedi-
ence to law, etc., ad nauseam, is simply
balderdash of the veriest sort, and you
know it,"
If you do not know it, you are not fit
to govern in Timbuctoo, much less Kan
sas.
If Kansas is to have two years of the
same kind of stuff that was fired off
yesterday, she has, indeed, tough out
look before her.

NICKEL MADE FROM GAS.
A Plating Process That Does Away with
Electroiysis.

a Plating Process That Does Away with
Electroiysis.
One of the most important results of
chemical research during the past
twelve months, says the Philadelphia
Record, are the discoveries of Mr.. Lud-
wig Mond, an Englishman, concerning
the metallic cerbonyls, and especially
nickel carbonyl. The latter is a gaseous
substance that burns with bright lum-
inous flame, metallic nickel separating
and becoming incandescent. Solids heat
ed in the presence of this gas are coat
ed with bright metallic nickel. A curl
GUS property Of the metal thus deposit
ed is that it is almost perfect non-con-
ductor of electricity.
A plant on a small scale has been con-
structed by another investigator in the
same field for the purpose of extracting
nickel from its ores by means of car
bonic oxide, thus forming nickel car
bonyl So successful has been this
plant that large establishment will be
erected soon at Birmingham to carry
ont the process on a large scale. Tho
simplicity of the method and the posi-
bility of at once obtaining pure metallic
nickel in any form are claimed TO give
the process advantages over the present
mode of nickel plating by electrolysis.
In view of the increased use of nickel
steel. the discovery is believed To pos
sess exceptional value, since it furnishes
i simple method of obtaining an abun-
dant and cheap supply Of nickel

THE OTHER FELLOWS OK,

The American Investments, financial
publication of Buffalo, New York, is a
champion of the west at once the most
discreet and far seeing of any paper of
the character Of the east. In It's last is
sue it says:
Taken in the aggregate, the losses that
have occurred in western investments
on real estate mortgages are a much
smaller percentage than most people
imagine. A few thousand, or possibly
a few hundred thousand of losses creates
Il great stir, but here is manufacturing
establishment in an eastern state that
cost $500, 200 in hard money selling at
$104 600 O. and it doesn't seem to make
one-tenth part the racket of a defaUlted
500 loan. Reason should guide and
govern in all things.

A COLORED BOY CHOIR.
st. Phillips Church BOASTS the LarEsS
One In the United States.

One in the United States.
New York boasts Of the largest sur
pliced cslored boy choir in the United
States, and, SO TAR as is known. in the
world. Such choirs are not numerous,
and are to he found only in large cities
There are two in New York-one be-
longing to a Roman Catholic and the
other TO Protestant Episcopal church
The latter is the one here meant, and
as the music of the Episcopal is so far
different from that of the Roman Cath
Ollie church no comparison between the
two can be drawn.
St Philips church in West Twenty
fifth street, between Sixth and Seventh
avenues, is one of the oldest oolored
congregations in America. The present
building is an ordinary affair of brick
and was once used by Meth cdists The
trustees are discussing plans for a
larger and far more imposing structure
Up to last Easter the music at St Philips
was furnished by the ordinary mixed
choir Of colore6 singers. Some months
before Easter it was decided to change
to boy choir, such as are 10 be found
in Trinity, st. Agnes's, St Andrews
and other more or less high
churches in the city. The present or
ganist, Mr. f. B. Kinney, was engaged
to organize the choir. and the first serv-
icessunder the new order Of things wero
heard on last Easter Sunday. Mr.. Kin
ney, however. found the task OF organi-
zation a difficult one. He discovered
that, as far as the constant desire TO
have fun and play pranl1s with one an
other was concerned, there was not
much difference between colored and
white boys. And as the choir consisted
of thirty boys, in addition 10 twenty
men, he had to keep his eyes open. In
time the youngsters began 20 submit
fairly well to discipline and are now
quite tractable OF course there was
no trou bic with the men.
The colored race is essentially mu-
steal, both in ear and voice, and this
fact has caused the choir of ST. Philips
to be reckoned among the best boy
choirs in the city. Once the youngsters
are interested they enter upon the
work with an earnestness that would
put many a white boy 10 blush. Ia the
choir there are several remarkably
good soprano voices. Two little col
ored chaps. Prentice Hutchinson and
Howard Braxton. are regarded "a
especially fine. and 70 them most Of the
solos are given. The ages of the boys
range from TO IS years.
Mr.. Kinney says that, as far "a he
knows he is the only white person con
nected with the church. though the
rector, Rev. II. c. Bishop. il frequently
assisted by white ministers. s.
Philips church is interesting for other
things than its choir. II has a very
va ia ole chalice cup, made q gold,
which has been insured for fear thou
sand dollars. It is studded with diA-
moHda, pearls. rubies and other precious
stones There is a legend that two OF the
diamonds, each worth s700. were found
liz the bottom OF trunk belonging %

church, and were given % adorn the

1T PUZZLES THE NATuRALlsTS
No One Knows Exactly Why Max Cats
Arc Born Without Tails

No One Knows Exsctly Why Max Cass
Are Born without Tails
The peculiar breed of cats found IN
the isle OF Man differs from others only
in that they have no tails, and the lack
thereof Is the insolUbie puzzle TO nat
uralists. Since il has become the fash
ion to explain everything by the prin-
ciples OF evolution, two theories have
been offered-one, that owing to the
limited range and lack of dense forests
the original cats had no use for tails,
and consequently tthe tails not the
cats) gradually atrophied for lack OK
use and became rudimentary; another,
that the primitive Manx cut off all their
cats tails and in the course Of time de-
veloped tailless breed. One thing Is
certain, the cats are there and they have
no tails
The high bred Chinese cat is splendid
proof of what may be done by kindness
and culture. If you were to repeat to
a well-to-do but untraveled Chinamen
the current saying with us that cats arc
selfish creatures, utterly devoid Of affee-
ton, he would be very much astonished,
and, IL the owner Of thoroughbred,
probably indignant. The Chinese cat
appears capable OF intense attachment
to one person, and ages of selection and
careful breeding have the species up to
a high standard. The Chinese claim
that one Of these cats-and any cat to
some extent-is a valuable clock. In
the morning the pupil of its eye is a
broad band; it contracts regularly till
noon, when it is a mere hairline, and
expands again as regularly till night.
So when a Chinaman wants to know
the time of day he picks up his cat and
