The Yearning for Travel.

Is it a revival of the impulse that drove
cur European ancestors forth into the
wilds of North America, or is it the in
herent and restless love of change that is
supposed to animate the modern Ameri-
can, which has inspired the society
woman of New York with yearning for
travel? Not to Europe and back again;
she does that on an average once year,
and thinks no more OF it than the quiet
houseke eeper thinks of her daily trip to
market. She wants to really outdo Cap
tain Kidd or the Flying Dutchman, and
sail away for year and day TO the
widest sort of lands. Here is pretty
girl, with an indulgent widower father,
sending around her P. p. G. cards for a
trip to Iceland; young married woman
has carried a meek husband off on q
jaunt across the steppes of Russia; while
very merry party literally sailed for
Europe in the smartest old type of full
rugged ship, bound first for the Azores,
thence to land at Lisbon, and take a
walking tour through Portugal. They
don't intend to arrive in Paris until the
autumn, and they will not go near Lon
don, which the very fin de siecle girl
openly announces as thoroughly ''done,u
and holding nothing more worthy her at
tion.-From Society Fads'; Demorest's

Barrett of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid
Association passed through here yester-
day en- route for Chicago, on proselyt-
ing tour through Kansas for the newly
projected switchmen's association. Mr..
Barrett has been to Topeka, Leavenworth
and other Kansas points agitating the
scheme for new order, and said to a le-
porter that he had met with signal sue
cess. Everywhere" said he. 1.-The idea
was heartily taken up and practically all
members of the old association whom
met promised to join the new order. In
Kansas City, where there are 800 switch
men, new local lodge will be organized
at once and include all the members of
the old association and many new ones"
Jacob f. Beard, for many years Secre-
tary of the local lodge, is authority for
the statement that the new order will
practically abandon the beneficiary idea
as q means Of letting into the body many
SWltehmen who were heretofore kept out
because Of the excessive rates. The order
will thus be made as strong as that OF the
engineers or conductors and hereafter
will make specially of fighting its own
battles.

PUBLIC LANDS.
Bill Reported to the House Amending
Existing Laws.


WASHINGTON, July 25.-Representa-
tive Hall OF Minnesota TO-DAY reported to
the House a bill amending the existing
laws regarding public lands. Provision
is made whereby settlers in townships
not mineral or reserved by the Govern
ment, or persons and associations law
fully possessed OF coal lands, or owners
or grantees OF public lands, shall have the
right to have such lands surveyed under
certain conditions. This feature of the
bill has in view the enlargement OF the
facilities contained in the coal land laws
by permitting such lands to be surveyed
as can now be done in the case of agri-
cultural lands required for actual settle-
ment. The discoverer of valuable de-
posit of coal upon the surveyed public
domain may now take possession of and
hold his mine. yet there Is no provision
of law under which patent can issue
therefor until the public surveys have
been SO extended as TO embrace it. An
other feature of the bill provides that
when settlers or owners or grantees of
public lands make deposits in payment
of the cost of surveys, certificates shall be
issued therefor, and these may be used In
part payment for the lands settled upon.
