THREE WAYS.
Once upon a time three philosophers
determined to investigate the curious
creature, the camel. The EngllShman
went into the great library to IND out
what had been written about the beast
: the German locked himself up IN his
room, lit his pipe and evolved concep-
| ton of the camel from his inner con-
seriousness; the Frenchman took th0us-
and mile trip to the desert to SEE IL.
There are three ways of finding out our
| low prices on Watches, Silverware and
Cut Glass. We recommend the French,
mans way. Any person who contem-
plates a purchase of these goods will lind
it of interest to SEE what we offer and
get our prices before buying. j. P. Ste

In some cities there is an annual COM
plant about the neglected condition of the
fronts and rears of residences which are
closed for the summer months. In this CITY,
while there are a good many houses which
are practically closed during the summer
at least as far the owners and their
families are concerned, still they are not
left to neglect and decay. A very general
custom prevails here of leaving houses in
charge OF caretaker, who either lives on
the premises or makes daily visits In this
way the lawns in front of the houses, as
well as the back yards, are kept in good
condition and the grass remains green and
soft throughout the no. season. Here and
there however, may be seen house where
either through the fault of the owner or
mat OF the person in charge the front park
ing Is overg-own with rank grass and
parched and withered by the heat of the
sun The trim, fresh appea rance of the
grass plots in front of private residences,
combined with the soft abundant foliage of
the trees, gives to our streets a COOL in
vitinS appearance, even on the hottest day
Inese conditions no doubt contribute to a
lower temperature, so that while the Their
mOmeter ranges high, residents of this city
are not subjected to the degree of sitting
near which is the fate of the dweller in
the average city. There are other advan-
tages which Washir gton has as a summer
resort. and its claims in that direction are
now generally recognized

The suggestion that the library of Con-

Change in the regulations will remove this
library from the class to which the British
Museum and the French National Library
belong. and put il in the same category as
the great and useful Boston public library
There l. no necessity TO destroy our British
Museum library for scholars in creating
our Boston library for the people Both
libraries may be housed in the new Con-
gressional Library building; certain classes
of books in the existing collection may
prOftably be made accessible TO readers in
both libraries: but the two organizations
the reference library for the learned, and
the circulating library with reading rooms
open at night for the people-ought to be
kept distinct, and the latter ought TO have
much of a local flavor as can prudently
be given TO it by Congress in consistency
with the partnership arrangement between
the nation and its capital The creation of
a library on the general lines suggested by
the bill now pending in the House would
happily solve this problem in popular educa-
ton.

The advent of woman into the field of
politics has opened possibilities in the way
OF campaign management and political
dickers and trades such as Machiavelli him
self never dreamed of. An instance of this
sort comes to light in North Dakota Miss
Emma F. Bates of Valley City ardently de-
sired the republican nomination for state
superintendent of public instruction All
other candidates calamity stepped aside
except young man named Devine. who
would not bulge in his ambition to super
intend the public instruction of North Da-
kota himself. He was as handsome as he
was determined, and when Miss Bates dis
covered that she could not move him from
her path to convention triumphs she con-
oeived brilliant idea. She offered to marry
Devine if he would allow her to receive the
nomination, and as an additional reward
promised to appoint him her deputy If she
was elected. Devine was but human. Miss
Emma F. Bates was nominated for super
intendent of public instruction by the North
Dakota republicans, and the vigorous young
commonwealth smiles in satisfaction at its
latest claim for distinction in the woman
suffrage line.

The Consolidated Traction Company of
Jersey City runs street cars by means Of
overhead trolley wires. and once in while
the company's experts have busy times ex-
planning how this man or that woman hap
pened to die because he or she managed to
come into contact with either one OF the
broken trolley wires or with wire that
crossed a trolley wire. Just now explana-
tons being made as to the decease of
Foreman Maxwell. who was 5usiIy engaged
in repairing q defective conductor. The job
was about done when the wire broke and
Maxwell fell headlong to the street. Before
the injured man could be taken TO the near
est hospital he was dead. Meanwhile a
truck driver drove down the street along
side the scene of the catastrophe. and not
knowing that the wire which was in the
roadway was loaded, permitted one OF his
horses TO step on it. The animal jumped as
high into the air as his harness would per-
NIT and then promptly dropped dead. Now
the expert electricians of the Consolidated
Traction Company of Jersey City insist that
Maxwell came to his death because his skull
was fractured by the fall, and at the same
time they declare that there was not enough
current in the wire to kill a man 1t has
been noticed, though, by some of the curious
people, who always will insist upon asking
all sorts Of questions. that the company
hired PrevaricatOrs are not saying anything
about the horse. OF course not WHY
should they? 1t is their business to show to
the public how delightfully."- harmless to hu-
man beings the trolley current is People

tricity, but who are not employed by any of

1t Is now as certain anything can be
with which Congress has to do that the
dependent survivors of the government EN-
plOyes who were killed by the collapse of
the floors of the old Ford Theater building
will have 10 wait for at least a year before
they can begin to hope for the compare
lively few dollars which the select COM
mittee on the investigation of the disaster
desired TO have appropriated. There might
be some reason for Directing to the appro-
priation had the committee in charge of
this matter been careless or hasty, but
when II is remembered that the inquiry was
conducted with elaboration and skill there
does not seem 10 be anything that looks
like a good excuse for the action Of the
House conferees. No effort was made to
adjust or provide for the claims of the more
than one hundred clerks who were injured
that portion Of the work wSs postponed
by the committee until next sesJion-but
II was emphatically believed TO be the right

The heavy gale which was blowing yes
terday outside the Isle of Wight prevented
such trial of the sea-going abilities of
the Nigilant and the Britannia as would
have been valuable testimony in behalf of
either the centerboard or the keel. There
Is. however, some consolation for Americans
in the fact that Mr.. Gould was perfectly
willing to take all the chances and carry
TO conclusion his end Of the agreemen;
with the Prince of Wales as to the contest
for the WClverton cup. Competent wit
Hesses declare that the weather was much
too dangerous for yacht race and that an
attempt TO follow the program arranged for
yesterday would have been foolhardy in
the extreme; the declination of the sailing

sympathize With Mr.. Gould's desire was
probably a display Of good judgment. But
the Willingness of Mr.. Gould and the I'M
willingness of those who insist that the
keel is superior TO the centerboard for deep
sea work indicate some lack Of confidence
on the part OF the latter as to the infalli-
billy Of their loudlyvaunted opinion.

The interest of the public, and particularly
of that part of it which wears hair on its
face, viii be much excited over the out
come of a suit recently brought in New
York by a man who seeks 10 recover 5000
damages for having his whiskers pulled out.
In his answer the defendant in the action
admits having relieved the visage of the
plaintiff of few strands of hirsute adorn-
ment during an encounter, which, he al
leges. was brought on by the plaintiff. but
denies that such a loss has damaged the
plaintiff in either a material or artistic
sense. Upon the issue thus made the case
VIII be tried. Ii is TO be fervently hoped
that the controversy may reach some
definite conclusion on its merits, without
running up against compromise or being
cut of by any vexatious technicality. The
face value Of whiskers has been mooted
question for an almost unlimited period
hence the possible solution of the problem
Is TO b. welcomed with delight.
