a Glut OF NIunmics.

The latest news from the Egyptian nu-
scum at Gheezeh is that there is such a
glut of mummified humanity there, ow-
ing to the quantities of priests of Am
mon discovered awhile ago in upper
Egypt, that the Egyptian government
has proposed to the museums of London.
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg and
Rome to take them off its hands. They
are to be divided into lots. which are to
be drawn for by the accepting parties.
But at present one and all are somewhat
reluctant to take them. So there is still
chance that the poor priests may fol-
low in the wake of the sacred cats. whose
mummifed remains were shipped to Liv-
erpool as fertilizer for the fields.-Lon-

Try OF the Pacific. Until few years
ago the fishermen on the northern coasts
of California paid no attention to the
vast quantities of sturgeon and halbut
there. regarding them us worthless. and
it is only within two or three years that
the majority of places further north and
down the southern coast now making
money in fish have paid any attention
whatever to the industry.
Last year 100000 poundsof sturgeon
were taken from the Columbia river and
shipped east. and altogether 100 or so
carloads of this one kind of fish Went
east from that region. In the last year
or two there have been large discoveries
of halibut in Alaskan and other north
ern waters. and salmon are getting
more plentiful in the streams of that re-
gion. Los Angeles and other southern
California points have within a year or
so become great shippers Of fish to the
east, barricudas and yellow tails being
the chief varieties.

LoyaI,y py ln,,m,dation.

There is a growing opinion in the
provinces that the wedding present bust
ness in connection with the royal mar
riage is being carried too far Regard
ing voluntary gifts, there is nothing to
be said, but more than one case has come
to my knowledge where Il large employ
er Of labor has been putting pressure on
his worllpeople to contribute toward
some local fund for presenting the royal
couple with Il piece of plate. However
i'll the employees can afford the shilling
or two which is squeezed out of them,
they have no option but to comply.
Now this is obviously not the way to
engender respect for the monarchy it
is complete reversal of the ancient
custom of feasting the people on the oc-
casion of a royal marriage.
The nation pays quite heavily enough
now for the luxury of an ornamental roy
al family without being indirectly taxed
lin this manner. Ii the Duke of York
and his bride elect wish to gain the re.
spect of the people, they will some day
be called upon to rule, they cannot dc
better than to refuse to accept all pres
ents except those which come from pri
vate individuals, corporations or simila,
bodies. 1t is time to put stop to these
disgraceful attempts by plutocrats tc
curry favor with the royal family and Sc
obtain knighthoods. baronetcies ant

sp,.d ON tho uroar Laxes.

The first of the new passenger carry
ing whalebacks for the lakes has made
speed of 90 miles an hour in trial trip
on Lahs Michigan from Milwaukee to
Chicago. This is very high rate of
speed, and the Christopher Columbus
deserves to be called the greyhound Of
the lakes for time at least. 1t is far
above any rate yet attained by any
steamship on them. 1t would be regard
ed as high rate for the swiftest of the
ocean liners on the Atlantic. The con-
structors of this whaleback promise that
while traversing the lakes she will make
1000 miles within so hours, in which
case the Cramps of Philadelphia will
have to look out for their laurels as they
hurry up the building of the new At
lantic steamships for the American line.
The Campania has a good record, but
she cannot afford to lower it in the face
of the Christopher Columbus.
A short time ago we gave an account
of some of the whalebacks and other
steamers that have been launched or are
on the stocks at the lake ports They
are not far from the first class i'll mate
rial, mechanism and fitting up. We are
proud of them. They are needed for the
immense commerce and for the travel
between the cities of the five great lakes
which were spoken of in old times as
western lakes, but which are in the east
ern half of the territory of the United
States. They constitute the lake system
of the east, not of the west.-New Yorl

Running With Human Trolley.

The novel sight Of man taking the
place of the trolley on an electric car
was seen last night on the Lake Roland
elevated railway. The trolley on one OF
the large electric cars in crossing Lex
ington street at North street had its
trolley wheel caught in the wire, and the
entire trolley apparatus was torn off,
falling to the street. The accident hap
pened at time when travel over the
road was heavy, and it was necessary to
prevent a blockade.
Lineman William Scott was equal tc
the occasion. He procured piece Of in
sulated wire. and after stripping each
end of the insulating material connected
one end through the car roof and standing
on the top of the car held the other end
against the trolley wire. A connection
being thus made the car was run over
the elevated structure to the car barn al
Walbrook without accident to Mr.. Scott
or delay to the other cars. Mr. Scott:
position was novel one and startled
persons who ure unused to electricity a
he stood on the top of the car amid myr
lads of sparks and illuminated by light
ninglike flashes from the trolley wire

Delaware.s FINANCES.


Little Delaware's state finances are in
thoroughly thrifty condition, her as
sets exceeding her liabilities by nearly
100000 Her debt could be entirely
wiped out at once but for the fact that
some long term bonds cannot be advan-
tageously called in. The state many
years ago chartered several farmers
banks, all of which are now prosperous.
and in these the state has considerable
capital invested. The par value of the
states holdings i'll bank stock is just
short of $390,000. and the market value
is trifIe over $4,000. The state ex-
penses, not including school appropria-
tions, fall little short of 100000 per
year.-New York Sun.
