GSOIOE X TYLER. great CITY nOD-
day Of London, and those who lose sight
Of the significance of the ceremonials are
apt to vote it a useless nuisance.
The new lord mayor is really indicted
into Office ON the Sth of November,
though the 9th is Lord Mayors day. On
the 9Th at the Guildhall, he Is presented
very ceremoniously with the city's scep-
ter, seal, rirse, sword, mace and keys,
and the retiring mayor formally resigns
to him the civic chair. Everybody en-
gagged in the ceremonies Is attired in
brilliant hued robes OF Office, and the
ceremonies include much reverential
bowling and ironclad formality. but these
things have their uses.
On the morning of Nov. Q the new
lord mayor begins to exercise his func-
tons, formally taking possession of his
office at the Guildhall. Then follows
what is called the lord mayors show.
This is the gorgeous procession from the
Guildhan 30 the law courts within the
precincts of Westminster. Before his
coach run many footmen in livery, and
there is a long line of carriages bearing
the aldermen and other city officials, the
heads of the several guilds and the main
body of the new mayors own guild. In
their best and gaudiest official gowns,
accompanied by their beadles and their
banners and by floats illustrative of his
torical events or industrial processes,
they make a brave show indeed, though
it sometimes has a tawdy and theatric
effect.
At the law courts the lord. mayor is
presented to the lord chief justice OF
England and takes the oath of fidelity tt
the sovereign. Then he calls on the
judges of the high court o. -justice ant
invites them to dinner. after which HI
goes back to the city, takes possession O.
his official residence, the Mansion House
and for a year within the city is tht
greatest of all the queens subjects, Civ
ing precedence only to her majesty her
self.

Congressman Sayers Presumes He
May Earn That Title.

May Earn That Title.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-Mr. Sayers
of Texas. chairman OF the house COM
mittee on appropriations, says that he
prespmes that he will earn the title of
the meanest man in congress because
he intends to insist on rigid economy
in all expenditures. Speaking more
particularly of the plan he proposes to
pursue, he says that he will not insist
on cuts in appropriations where the
expenditures are necessary.
While he did SO, 1t is quite probable
that appropriations for river and har-
Dor Improvement under the contract
system will be cut, as will also appro-
priations for public buildings. These
appropriations are carried in the sun
dry civil bill. Mr.. Sayers says that
with a deficit staring them in the face,
they nus economic at every possible
point, although he wants it understood
that there will be nothing done to Grip
pie the legitimate branches of the gov
eminent.

Cherokee strip BOOMERS in Poor
Condition For the Winter.
ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 27.-A special to an
evening paper from Arkansas City.
Kan, says: The FIRST touch of winter
now being experienced in the Cherokee
strip reveals but family the condition
that will obtain in the near future.
Hundreds Of people and dozens of
families in the strip are entirely desti-
tute. Up to this time many of them
have been entirely without shelter save
the stars, and they have no money to
get away or to procure decent shelter
for the winter. In the opening rush
thousands OF persons expended almost
their last dollar in the vain hope OF re-
coupling. their fortunes In a turn Of the
wheel Luck has been against many.
Hundreds win be in dire distress soon.
Without money. homeless and land

and the serious problem Of mere exist

their way back to their former homes
as beat they can. Arkansas City ID

and without mean to procure medical

It ID estimated by those familiar with
the facts that fully IL, 0O0 persons failed
to secure anything In the rush. BY far
the largest portion OF those luckless
ones had mean to 60 away and have
gone. But to the few whose all was
comprised in a few dollars, q scanty
hoard Of provisions, a team and wagon
and half a dozen hungry children, fail

themselves Of facilities for getting

towns along the border, the ~privation.

daily life is divided between the editorial
room and his home at Metuchen, N. j.,
and he is seldom seen at the gatherings
Of literary people in the metropolis. His
home life and his books are more attract
i've to him and may be of greater serv-
ice to his readers, for who can tell how
largely responsible his fireside habits are
for that indescribable feeling of restful-
ness that old readers of Harper's feel
when they get a new number in their
hands?
Mr.. Alden has been connected with
the Harpers since 1863, when he succeed
ed Richard Grant White as editor of
Harper's Weekly. That position he re-
tanned for six years, and since then he
has been in charge of The Monthly Mag
azine, devoting his entire time to his
work and never obtruding himself or his
name upon public notice. His work is
entirely impersonal, and even the book
which the Harpers published for him in
1890, "God In His World" was anony-
nous. 1t is a singularly winning work,
bringing comfort to many anxious hearts,
and quite in line with the early predilec-
tons Of its author, who in his college
days is said to have contemplated writ.

No TARIFF BILL.
A Discouraged Member OF the WAYS
and Means Committee of the
House
Says That divergent Interests Are
Likely to Prevent Any Radi-
cal Revision.
Almost Every Locality Has Some Pet
Industry That Must Be,
Protected.

WASHINGTON, Oct IA discouraged
member of the ways and meaus COM
mittee says that he fears there will be
no tariff bill at this congress. The dif-
fculties which the committee have en-
countered make it impossible TO frame
q bill satisfactory to all parties.
Every person" he said, insists that
the interests in his district now pro-
tected must continue to receive pro-
lection. Take the sugar men as an ex-
ample. They are insisting that the
duty shall be restored on sugar. They
don't like the bounty, bat II they can
not have the duty restored they want
the bounty. Then there is Tia small
item OF mica. Electricians and stove
man want mica free. Yet the districts
where the mica mines are located are
insisting on the duty. Another thing
ID ap~ollinaris water. Mineral spring
men want q duty on apollinaris. They
say they have to pay duty on bottles,
corks and packages. yet apollinaris
water comes in free. But 1t Is no use.
Apollinaris water has too great . hold
on congress to ever expect that q duty
will be placed on it."
Senate Might Kill It
The same member said that the bad
blood that had been shown on the sill
yer bill in both house and senate would
have a tendency to prevent the tariff
bill from going through. The interests
sought to be protected in the house bill
would find advocates in the senate who
would be more powerful because of the
small Democratsc majority in that
body. This member lwanted it under
stood that he spoke only for himself
and for no other person on the commit
tee. He left the impression that he had
been hit in some of the interests which
he represented.

Pioneer Pres, %: A curious freak OF
usage is that which is introducing the
word "proven" into good society. 1t is
a form for the particularly Objectionable

graphers speaking OF it as IAN improper

the Scotch verdick mot proven" But
the use OF it 10 certainly becoming more
frequent, and it rears its head boldly and
daily in the columns OF some OF the most
carefully edited papers in the country.
Since use is the only final test, we shall
have to submit to proven if its cur
rency increases as rapidly - il has done

d protest from the lovers OF purity in
language, who have always felt this word
to be an impudent and offensive
interioper.

S~B. johnson, secretary of the rail
road and warehouse commission of South
Dakota, held a conference with Gram
Inspector Clausen of Minneapolis,
Thursday, concerning grades on grain.
Mr.. johnson reports good wheat pros
poets IN his state, and says the yield
will be over ten bushels to the acre.
The acreage, he thinks, will be greater
than last year, but something less than
the average for the past four years. The
corn crop, however, in the southern part
OF the STATE is the largest for nine years,
and the price is % cents per bushel to
start with Mr.. Johnson's interest in
the Minnesota grading rules arises part
ly from the fact that most of the South
Dakota corn goes to Minneapolis.
