Washington, May %, 1o94.-In

a long Inc of precedeuts and bcr

paper correspondents to tell the
names OF those who give them in

farce may be carried TO the extent
of locking mp the three colrespon

limony NIGH: have been taken are
going to Europe and other place
to keep from testifying and the
CHANCES for getting at the truth,
which is all the prbi!c wants, are
growing beautifully less and less.
If newspaper men could be COMPEL
ed to divu &c their sources of infor
nation there would be few or no
exposures Of corrupt practices in
public life, fer The very simple rea
son hat in ninety nine ont of every
one hundred OF snch exposures
made by the newspapers the first
information is gwen in confidence
by public men, and if they did not
know that their confidence wouid
be respected they wonld NOT give

BANK NOTES $500 YEARS OLD.

The oldest bank notes are the
flying money" or a convenient
money" first issued in China, 1907
B. c. Originally these notes were
issued by the Treasury, but expert
ence dictated a change to the sys-
tenn of banks under Government
inspection and control. The early
Chinese "greenbacks" were in all
essentials similar to the modern
bank notes, bearing the name of
the bank, the date of the issue, the
number of the note, signature of the
Official issuing it, indications of its
value in figures, in words and in
pictorial representations of coins or
heaps of coin equal in amount to
its full value, and a notice of the
pains and penalties for counterfeit
ing. Over and above all was a
laconic eXhortion to industry and
thrift: Produce all you can;
spend with economy" The notes
were printed in blue ink on paper
made from the fiber of the mulberry
| tree. A Chinese bank note ISSUED
in 1899 B. c. is said to be preserved
in the Asiatic museum at st Pc
tersburg.

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE.
Night Owl Knows Enough TO Seek Shelter
When 1t Rains.


A horse which evidently has fond
ness for doing odd things daily draws
one of the wagons of the American Ex-
press company in Cleveland. In color
he is gray. When he is not at work
he occupies a large space in the COM
pany's barn at the corner Of Wood and
Hamilton streets. The drivers call him
Night Owl because he prowls about the
barn at all hours of the night They
say he would pull his neck from his
shoulders if they placed a halter on
him and tied him in stall. When
driven double to 4 wagon be becomes
angry if the other horse goes ahead of
him and tries to kick the driver from
the seat. For this reason Night Owl
is driven single. If the weather is
stormy and the wind blows the rain in
his face he turns around and travels in
the opposite direction despite the eff
forts of the driver to drive him straight
ahead. If the driver leaves him stand
ing in front of building which he
enters to deliver an express package
and stays too long Night Owl becomes
impatient and walks away. If he is
not overtaken by the driver or stopped
by some person on the street the horse
goes to the barn and mods his head for
admission. One day when the rain was
blowing from all directions and Night
Owl was unable to keep it from beat
ing into his eyes he walked across the
street, hauled the driver and wagon
m fha Cilnrr-o11y ~
he found shelter in stairway and had
placed his fore feet on the steps. He
was never known to'iniure anybody.

MIGRATORY STATESMEN,
European Notables Who Spend
Much Time in Travel
Countries That Are the Resorts of
Powerful Aliens-A Curious Fact
About the Reigning Fam
Mes OF Enrope.

There is hardly country in Europe
that is governed exclusively by men of
that nationality. This peculiar state
of affairs arises from international
marriages, the accidents of war and
voluntary changes of residence by men
who are down on their luck" NJ.
'Waddington, who, though English by
birth, rose to be premier of France, is
mentioned by the Rochester Herald as
a notable example. Another French
statesman, Eugene Spuller, bears a
German name and was born of Bad
enese parents. Gambetta, the great
est public man France has had for
years, was of Italian parentage, while
Napoleon himself was a Corsican.
France has lin turn given Italy several
men of ability and prominence, among
them Count de Launay, the famous
diplomat, who hated his own land of
France with an undying hatred. Eng
land has contributed the two admirals
named Acton to the Italian cabinet
list. On the other hand, among the
men with Italian blood serving else
where there may be mentioned Caprivi,
the chancellor of the German empire.
Austria is especially rich in powerful
aliens. Its prime minister, Count
Taafe, is an Irishman and member of
the British peerage. Frenchmen, Ital.
ians and Englisbmen are also very
plentiful in the Austrian public serv-
ice. Irishmen are very prominent in
Spanish affairs, which accounts for
the prevalence of Irish names in the
Spanish-American republics of South
America. Queen Christmas secretary
is the Condo di Morphi, which but thin
ly DISCUSSES 1.-The good old Irish name
of Murphy" In England many men of
German descent are prominent, among
them Mr.. Goschen, Baron Henry
Worms and Sir Henry Drummond-
Wolff. Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett is
the only American who figures in the
list 1t is for their wives alone that
Europeans come to this country, not
for their statesmen. De Giers, the
man who guides Russia's destinies, is a
German. and Grote, secretary of state,
is a Swede. Gen. Melikoff was of
Armenian parentage. Almost all ma
tionalities of Europe and quite few
of Asia are represented in the Russian
public service. Many foreigners are
also serving Sweden.
But the most curious fact is that nu-
merous members of reigning families
are unable to speak the language of
the countries over which they rule
without a marked foreign accent.
King Christian of Denmark and the
queen are of German birth and educa-
ton, and their son, King George of
Greece, is also German by birth. There
is faint trace of French in the speech
of Swedens King Oscar, descendant of
Marshal Bernadotte. The father of
Leopold of Belgium was a German.
Even Emperor William, who does not
love English habits or the English peo-
pie, betrays in his speech the English
origin of his mother. 1t is also true
that the queen of England was wont to
to talk in German with Prince Albert,
and even uses that tongue to-day in
her family. The German origin of the
English royal family is very plain to
be observed, and shows the persist
snce of the Teutonic type.

AN APPREHENSION WEDDIaG.

For May party or wedding a
room decoration of apple blossoms
is extremely pretty and effective,
provided the flowers are arranged
naturally. By that l mean that
they must not be arranged in a
manner wholly out of harmony
with their natural habit of growth.
On the tree the branches seldom
go directly up. On the contrary,
they reach out. And to take one
of these branches into a room and
put it into a position entirely
different from its manner of growth
on the tree is to spoil the effect Of
it. 1t gives it an awkward, I'M
pleasant air which can never be
overcome until you place it in its
natural position again. Prove the
truth of this assertion by placing a
branch which on the tree had a
lateral spread, in an upright posi-
ton. You may twist it and turn
it and reverse it, but you cannot
make it look we'll. But place It in
such a manner that it reaches out,
instead of up, and it will be found
as beautiful as ever. You have
solved the problem of how to make
it gracefully useful by disposing ii
as nature arranged it on the tree
from which it was taken. Before
attempting to use any flower study
it as it grows, and never force it tc
take on unnatural positions. for BY
so doing you destroy its decorative
effect.
When decorating a room with
apple blossom it is safe to use the
branches about doors and win
dows at the top rather than at the
sides, because of their outreaChinl
habit. Branches having something

A FAIR PROPOSITION.

The Scranton board of trade is sup.
posed to have for its fundamental purpose
the advancement of the business interests
of Scranton. When, therefore, 1t sends
the printing of its annual report to pub
fishing house in Delaware, it must have
some reason for not patronizing home in
dustries. What is that reason? The
SCRANTON TRIBUNE Publishing company
desires to make to Mr.. Foster, chairman Of
the printing committee, the following
proposition: 1t will agree to print the
Scranton board of trades report accord
ing to any written specifications the board
may elect, provided the Delaware firm
shall do the same thing. Then it will sub
NIT the two specimens Of workmanship to
disinterested jury of experts. And

win the award, THE TRIBUNE Publishing
company will pay all expenses and
make the board of trade q present
of the receipted bill for the Della
ware firms work on as many copies Of
the report as the board shall need. We
are willing to give to Mr. Foster the prep
aration of the specifications. For his SER
vices in this matter THE TRIBUNE Publish
