The plan of Hon. Abram S. Hewitt for
a rapid transit railway in New York city
will commend itself to municipal au-
thorities who want to know how to man
age valuable public franchises. Mr..
Hewitt proposes that New York shall
borrow the entire sum necessary to con-
struct the road, since it can do this cheap
or than any private corporation can on
account Of the safeness of the invest
ment. Then after securing the money
the city shall let the contract for con-
struction out to the lowest responsible
bidder. When the road is built, the pri-
vate company constructing it shall have
also the right to operate it for 30 years..
They shall pay for rent to the city a sum
based upon the cost of building the road.
At the end of the 30 years the franchise
returns to the city to be relet. The fear
lures Mr.. Hewitt believes to be most
commendable in this plan are that no
grasping private company can ever Jug
gle the city out of rent for one of it's
most valuable franchises; that the build
ing and operating of the road by pri-
vate company will take the direct man
agement out of city politics as corrupt
ing element; that the city will in not
long time get all it's money back from the
rentals, and that it retains the right to
lease the road again for as long or short
term as seems desirable.

Little Worlds.

The bodies called asteroids are sup
posed to be fragments Of exploded plan
cts or comets that belong to our solar
system. They circulate around the sun
at intervals between Jupiter and Mars,
filing gaps, so to speak. That they are
round is necessary consequence of the
operation Of the law of attractions; that
they are worlds like the rest of the plan
cts is reasonable conclusion. They are
discovered by means of photograph
plates affixed to powerful telescopes. At
last accounts there were already 372 of
these baby planets, and they were still
coming. Twenty-one undoubted new
ones were discovered in 1898, and it was
not a particularly good year for aster-
ODDS either. In size they are to the other
planets as Rhode Island is to Texas.
1t is quite within the bounds of proba-
bility that some of these little fellows
may be inhabited. A toy terrier is just
as much of dog as $50 pound St. Ber-
nard dog, is he not? and he often makes
considerably more noise. It is an inter-
esting speculation as to the inhabitants
of these toy planets. Many of them are
probably not more than Is or 20 miles in
diameter, 60 miles around. 1t would be
the easiest thing possible for an asteroid-
ian to say to his friend: "Come, let US
hitch up that last new pair of trotters
and take spin around the world today.
Back in time for dinner" How charm
ingly sociable it would all be too! Every
body in the world could find out all about
everybody's business.

THE CONCLAVE IN SESSION.
Biennial Reports Of the Offic-
ials Read--Pythian Sisters
Organize.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The feature
of the Pythian encampment was the
grand parade Of the uniform rank this
morning. Fifteen thousand Knights
| were in line, marching by state brig
AIDES, and the procession was more than
two hours passing the presidential re-
viewing stand. Pennsylvania avenue
was crowded with more than 10000
people. large proportion of them Wis
itors from out OF the city.
The president reviewed the process.
sion from small stand erected ON the
curbing just in front of the White
house. A few minutes after 4 o'clock
he emerged from the executive man.
sion in company with Col. Klao, chief
of staff, representing the Knights of
Pythias. and Col. Wilson, United
States engineers. The presi dents ap-
pearance was greeted with cheers by a
crowd of several thousand people as
sembled about the entrance of the
White house. He walked slowly to
the western gate and thence along
the sidewalk, which had been en-
closed by ropes to the stand. AS he
stood up, the great crowd broke into
cheers and hand-elapping. which con-
tinued for several minutes, while the
object OF this attention removed his hat
and bowed his ACCOMPLISHMENTS Then
ensued rather disagr eeable wait for
the procession, which was late. The
president seated himself and waited
patiently for twenty-five minutes before
the head of the line appeared. Then he
arose, and as the Knights swept past he
acknowledged the salutations OF the
commanding officers by bowling. Ranks
were formed in tine camp around Wash
ington monument, whence at o'clock
the body started. Their line OF march
ecutive mansion and down Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the Peace monument,
in front of the capitol, whence the body
was countermarched up the avenue to
the treasury department..
The Scene Was Brilliant,
looking down the mile stretch of the
avenue, with double lines of marching
men. buildings covered with bunting
and spectators at all the windows, and
packing the open spaces and lmproyised
stands.
At the head of the line rode the men,
bers of the citizens committee in black
clothes and silk hats. escorted by three
crack militia organizations of the city.
AFTER them came Maj. Gen. Carnahan
and his staff Oh horseback. All the
knights were uniformed in black broad
cloth frock coats with silver buttons,
red belts and white or silver helmets,
with heavy scarlet plumes. Their
officers were mounted and richly uni
formed. Every division was headed by
band and displayed handsome banners.
Maj. Gen. Carnahan reviewed the line
near the treasury department OIL its res
turn march aud the review was not
ended until after o'clock tonight.
Tonight the United States Marine
band gave concert in Convention hall.

Sisters Organize.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-The conclave
of the supreme lodge was called to order
by Supreme Chancellor w. w. Black
we'll in Builders Exchange hall at 10
o'clock. Great secrecy was observed,
and the entrances were carefully
guarded. The supreme officers wore
Grape badges OH their arms, as a token
of respect to the late Past Supreme
Chancellor Shaw, of Wisconsin.
The roll call was answered by dele
gates from nearly every state, and Su.
preme Chancellor Blackwell and Su-
preme Keeper of Records ana Seals r.
l.. c. White read their biennial reports.
At the meeting of the supreme lodge the
Idaho delegate, j. w. Daniels, present
ed Supreme Chancellor Blackw with
a gavel of silver and mahogany, and
Delegate Walker.o Montana, presented
him gold and silver jewel. Delegate
Lee, of Rhode Island, was elected
official reporter, and the supreme lodge
rank was conferred on several past
chancellors. An early adjournment
was taken in memory of the late Past
Supreme Chancellor Shaw.
Indianapolis will probably be the CITY
chosed for the next encampment. The
Indiana delegates are urging the claims
of their city, while Louisville has prac-
tically Withdrawn from the field, as she
will entertain the Grand Army next
year if possible.
The Pythian sisterhood organization
held a business meeting at the Grand
Army hall. Today there were several

THOSE SENATE RULES.
Committee Will Spend the Recess
in the Work Of Revision.

in the Work of Revision.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The senate
committee OIL rules will meet during the
recess of congress and attem pit to revise
the senate rules. Several times during
the closing days of the present session,
when the senate was without a quorum,
MI. Blackburn, chairman of the COM
mittee on rules, tried to have adopted
resolution authorizing the committee to
consider revision of the rules during
the recess. but it has been steadily OBJ
jected TO by Senator Blanchard He
says he does not want the rules revised
SO that debate may be cut off. and vote
forced upon the bill repeating tine sugar
duty. 1t does not matter so much about
the senate refusing to sanction the
meeting Of the committee during the re.
cess. A majority of the members, or
even one man, can draw up new set of
rules, or each member may make sug-
gestion, and report prepared very soon
after congress convenes. But the object
sought would not he obtained. If
draft of the rules upon which the ma
lority could unite was presented at the
beginning of the session. it is possible
that vote might be reached on the
question of its adoption. AS it IS, the
report coming in after other business
has been under way, it would probably
mean that no vote could be reached.
The Louisiana senators will fight a
change in the rules, as will the senators
opposed to removal of the sugar duties.
Added to these are the senators who do
not believe that under any circumstan-
ces should there be a change in the
rules which would curtail the liberty of
debate. Consequently an effort to
change the rules when the session be-
gins III December probably would not
meet with any success.

The Brewers Give q Great
Exhibition Of Brilliant
Fielding.
NATIONAL CONTEST CLOSE.
Boston Loses a Game, While
Baltimore and New
York Win.

Yesterdays ball game at Minneapolis
Athletic park between the Millers and
Brewers was one of the most exciting
contests Of the season. For four inn
ings the visitors did not tally. but in the
fifth few timely hits, coupled with a
comedy of errors, allowed the Brewers
to make seven runs aud tie the score
In the sixth inning each side made one
run. In the seventh HuIen made a
single and Burrell lifted the ball over
the fence for second time. This gave
the Millers lead of two runs. In the
last half of the ninth the visitors got
two men on bases, wit l. 10 one ont, and
it looked as though the score would at
least be tied. DIR" Tanner ParVin,
however, proved all right and struck
the next two batSmen out. The third
man was retired on pop fly to Crooks
With the exception of the fifth inning
the visitors could do but little with
Parvin's delivery. He had wonderful
speed with wide curves. The fielding
of the Drawers was brilliant, while that
of the Millers was listless. The score:

STATE GREENBACKS.
PROSECUTION OF WESTERN
BANK NOTE COMPANY.
Will Follow the Prosecution of
Mississippi state Officials
for Their Issue.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-Pursuaut TO in
structtons from Attorney General Oh
ney, District Attorney Dixon is prepar-
ing to prosecute the Western Bank
Note company for making the plates
for the issue of special warrants by the
state of Mississippi. The prosecution
will be under section 5430 of the Re-
vised Statutes, which provides that it
shall be considered felony to make an
engraving or print in the likeness of
any government obligation. The pen
atty is a fine of not more than 5000 or
imprisonment for fifteen years.
The attorney was of the opinion that
an Indictment against the officers of the
company ought to be secured, but was
not prepared to say that the process
should lot be merely civil suit to re-
cover the amount of the fine. Mr..
Dixon is waiting for Capt. Porter, of
the secret service. to furnish him with
copies of the warrant. The issue was
for 100000. The plates were seized in
st. Louis while being shipped to Mis-
siSsippi. Mr.. Dixon believed the prose-
cutiOn Of the bank note company was
a test case to determine the power of a
state to issue such warrants.

another victory, defeating Carney, 800

sides. Dickinson is the man that de-
Teated Sampson last week. As both
Sampson and Carney are scratch men,
Dickinson has certainly added a very
large red feather to his chaplet of vic
tories. Thus far in the tournament he
has met but two defeats. Judged by
the matter of actual points made, Carney
made eighty-three more billiards than
Dickinson, whose handicap is 100 The
game was q lengthy one, lasting through
hfty-three innings. Dickinson made
only figures of low denominations at
first. scoring his first dOuble-12-in the
thirty-frst inning. In the next five
innings he made but little prog
reSS, after which he made 10. These
two were the only double figures cred
tied to him. His credited average is
35-53. and his actual, 3 1-53. Carney
played a remarkable game. Double
figures came his way almost in platoons.
