A School Row IN Kansas city

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Aug, 1S-The Cash.
Ole priests of this city haverecommended
to Bishop Fink that the psroehical schools
here be abandoned and the pupils, about
1000 in number, take advantage Of theiI
rights under the law to attend the public
schools. The movement is il retaliation
on the board of education for the dis
missal as the Catholics claim, of theiI
teachers In the public schools. The ma

BIRMtNGHAN. Ala. Aug. ls.-From the
state headquarters Of the Kolbites i'm this
city thousands Of copies of "a printed set Of
resolutions, intended 30 be passed at the
county mass meetings of that faction,
called for the 23d. have been sent broad
cast over the state. The resolutions are
sensational and IL they are passed and
carried out by the kolbites trouble may
be looked for.
The resolutions begin by declaring that
Governor Jones was fraudulently counted
In in 1892, and that still greater fraud
was committed at the recent state cleo
ton. The resolutions conclude.
THAT we viii no longer submit to such
fraudulent and corrupt methods, nor will
we recognize and sustain a government
brought into power through such i'm
proper agencies, and we here and now de-
clare our purpose and intention TO have
and maintain our rights under the consti-
tion and laws of the land, and 60 carry
out this solemn declaration Of purpose on
our own part we hereby organize our.
selves into an honest election league"
That part Of the resolution which says
they will not recognize and sustain the
state government is regarded rs revolu-
tionary, and on this point trouble is eX.

The Dread sirocco of Sicily.

The extremely hot weather which
we have experienced OF late is as moth
ing in comparison to the dread sirocco
which, in the spring of the year,
sweeps across the island OF Sicily.
The terrible southeast wind, which
sweeps across the sea from the great
African DESERT, no one can ever forget
who has once endured it. The natives
believe that it bears disease and death
on it's burning wings, and retreat to
their houses, shutting every door and
window, when they feel it's approach,
atd seldom venture forth till it has
blown itself out, which usually takes
three or four days. The direful wind
affects mind as we'll as body, and the
sensations are so opposed to each other
that you feel like a bundle of contra
diction A vivid consciousness of ris-
ing desperation is fettered by a sense
of utter lassitude.

Iowa was ID powerful aldre s and was
enthusiastic ally received by a large au-
dience. The peaker re viewed the his
tory of the country during the thirty
two years that the Republican party
practically controlled the legislation Of

of uneXampled growth and progress,
though the first four, under President
Lincoln, were period of trial. of peril,
and of sacrih O. But with all this the
country developed like a giant The
census of 1860 disclosed an aggregate
wealth, including slaves of sixteen bill

wars desolation AMI excluding
slaves as pr psrty, disc osed an

Record of the Week.

A LADY na1 ed Cowell, living at
Burnside, Lapeer County, died from
the effects of swallowing peachstone.
THE general store at Hamburg, which
also contains the postoffice ana express
office, was burglarized and about 5 %
worth of goods stolen. A number of
letters were opened and some were
taken.
FIRE at Orion destroyed eight bust
ness places, causing a loss of about
$4,000, which is partially covered by
insurance. The fire started from some
unknown cause in the livery stable OF
O. II. Green.
THE INTRODUCED IN of the water works
system at Bad Axe has revived the in
terest in the fire department which
was organized three years ago, but
died for lack of supp ort, and steps are
being taken 10 reorganii 1T.
PREPARATIONS fer work in the
woods of the Northern Peninsula are
beginning earlier this year than for
many yea 8, the widespread 70 est
fires of the summer compelling the
companies TO cut their pine in order to
save it from the borers.
JAMES HARDWOOD, an old man Of
about 80 years, who has been living at
the Mid land county house, has disap-
peared and no trace of him can be
found. 1t is thought that he might
have become demented and wandered
away while in that condition.
THE business portion of Elmira was
burned Thursday night The fire
started in the G.. II. q |. shops. The
largest loser is l.. Z. Becker. The
total loss is hard to estimate, but it
will be heavy. Many pounds of dyna-
mite exploded, and the shock was felt
for five miles.
FIVE OF the Michigan asylum cows
at Kalamazoo have recently died and
post-mortems showed that three died
from tuberculosis. The herd was tested
with tuberculin at an expense OF $500.

gressional sense OF honor as this petty
means OF adding ID the Congressional
perquisites. As will be seen, the APP
preparation for this clerical help Is
3d., 900, but that is intended simply to
cover the short term Il Congress.
During the session of Congress just
ended there was expended more than
100000. To lie g. act, $4,000.
The Packing Box Item.
There are other expenses in both
branches OF Congress which seem
equally large. For instance, the item
OF contingent eX enses, Sl0S,0o0, Is
composed largely of stationery, 81, COO
being appropriated for that alone.
There is another item in the contin-
gent account which always makes a
great deal of fun and that is the item
of acking boxes. Every Senator and
every Member s EMIT ed, when he
gees home, to have three boxes made
in which 10 pack his books aid papers.
These boxes are made under contract.
Each set consists OF two large boxes
and one small one. Those in the Sen
ate are made deliberately. The
cot of making there boxes is not so
much. Those for the Senators cost
about 81 200, those for the House cost
about $1,000, but their actual cost Is
but a trifle compared with what it
costs the postonce department to
transport the boxes and their contents
ABOUT the country.
And from year to year 1t is growing.
Every Congress finds some new neces-
sity, some new comfort, some new per-
quisite or some other new way Of
spending money. If it is not ore thing
1T is another If it is not a new 800
clerkship it is new horse and wagon
or an additional bureau or better
packing box or larger collection of
printed books for distribution or more
garden seeds or more roots and plants.
Taking the appropriations as made for
the next short session of Congress as q
basis, we may soon expect TO see each
session OF Congress, no matter which
party Is in power, for they are both
alike in that respect, cost the Ameri.
can people something like $4,000, 900.
AS it is to-day, it is the most expen i've
legislative body On the face of the
earth. There is nothing to equal it
anywhere. The m st extravagant
monarchies of Europe, while they
sQuander money upon their royal fam
lilies, and in proper maintaining Of
royal dignity, are exceedingly chary Of
their legislative expenses. The Brit
ish Parliament does not co one-third
the amount expended by the American
Congress.

The En- yIish Crown Plate.

The crown plate Of England does
not belong 10 the British treasury, but
to the head of the reigning house for
the time being The nation has moth
ing TO do wit it. Much of it belonged
to Queen Victoria's ancestors long be-
fore they ever came to England from
Hanover and Brunswick TO ascend the
English throne. The crown plate in
cludes a peacock of precious stones,
valued at 5000 90; dinner service OF
pure gold for 100 guest; a silver-gilt
wine cooler in which two persons car
comfortably sit; almost 1000 silver
plates and numerous gold shields, one
OF them entirely consisting of jeweled
snuff boxes, and valued at $4,000.

of tho meeting was the enthusiasm
caused when J. Sloat Fassett was men

with demonstration, for Fassett was
not in evidence when the votes were
counted. The platform denounces re-
cent tariff Legislation and the present

Early Cent piec es.

The first American cent was struck
off and put in circulation Just 10l years
ago, in 1892. Previous TO that date
several pattern pieces had been made.
but they were experiments only and
were never put in circulation. The so
called Washington cents, which exist
ed previous to the date above given
were not issued by the Government
and were, therefore, only medals. The
cent of 1893 was very similar to the
large copper cents of later date, with
the exception that the face of Liberty
was turned TO the right, and the legend
One Cent was incl ed in a chain o.
thirteen links.

Washington correspondence
The session of Congress just closed
was perhaps the most expensive Con-
gressional experience that the country
has ever had. BY this is meant not
the cost Of what Congress did, nor the
appropriations that it made for the
general administration Of the govern
ment, but for the actual cost of the two
houses them. elves. Ii Is an interest
ing study to watch the growth of OK
penditures that the two houses of Con-
gress are willing to appropriate for,
when the expenditure is for their own
personal recompense, comfort and
pleasure. The expense in some OF the
collateral channels is simply appalling,
al it is something that will one day
cause a wild spirit of resentment
throughout the country There is too
much money spent at the annual ses
sions of Congress and entirely too much
recklessness IN appropriating the pub
lie funds for the purpose. Tho great
waste of money is naturally in the di-
rection of salaries. Both wings of the
Capitol are loaded and overloaded with
employees. The! are CLERKS TO do this,
clerks to do that and clerks to super
wise the other clerks. The fight and
scramble and constant wrangle and
furious contention is to get on the pay
roll.
The earlier Congresses rarely cost
as much as 81, coo, 900 per session. Here
is what the fifty-thiEd Congress appro-
priated for the last session of its term.
1t must be remembered that this is
the short session, covering practically
but three months, which expires
March 4, 1895. The bulk of the APP
preparation, however, covers the whole
period of the fiscal year, for most of
the salaries are annual

THE MISSING BICYCLIST.
4 Conclusion Reached That Fruul,
Lenz ;s Dead.

The officers of the State Department in
Turkey have made every effort to discover
the whereabouts of Mr.. Frank Lenz, the
missing Pittsburg biCyclist, who undertook
to go around the world on his wheel but
without success. They have reached the
sad conclusion that he is dead. The latest
intelligence in regard to the unfortunate
traveller is furnished by Mr.. X. W. Graves,
the British consul at Erzeroum, Turkey,
who says that Lenz passed through Dia-
din, just west of the Persian border, about
100 miles from Tabreez, Persia, on the 7th
of May last and that 10 trace of him has
been since discovered. This information
has been ccrroborated by dispatches from
United States consular officers who inves-
tigated the case The route taken by Lenz
was a very dangerous one, ON account Of
the numerous brigands that infest it, and
is never undertaken by natives without a
strong guard. AS the bicycIst started
alone so many months ago, and never
reached his destination, the conclusion is
almost irresistible that he was foully dealt
with and then concealed The theory that
he may be held in captivity for ransom
finds no credence at the State Department.
