The curious fact Is recalled that just
twenty years after President Grant
signed the patent Of the pueblo lands
of San Diego confirming $1,000 acres of
land to the city, his widow and two
sons bought building sites out of the
then waste, paying in the neighborhood
of 5000 front foot for them. A more
remarkab BILE change can hardly be found

low, douth in foreign countries and in our
own. My opinion is that Europe will be
moderate buyer Of wheat and -four during the
next three months. If this is the case prices
will probably keep down where they are for
the present until after the spring wheat
movement is over. Then there will be mu-
sic with a full band and prices will sail way
above the export value of wheat and -four.

Bodies Exhumed.

Several bodies were mysteriously exhumed
from the burial lot of the Pierce family at
Tuftonboro Neck, N. H., and the affair has
caused considerable excitement among the
toWnspeople. Some of the bodies have been
inferred for nearly rs years, and no reason is
given why the dead should have been dis
turbed. 1t is believed by some that medical
students, on a vacation in the neighborhood
have committed the ghoulish acts.

Just before the Legislature ad
journed law was passed entitled "An
act to regulate the exercises of their
franchises, by certain public corpora
tions, by requiring them to afford
facilities for the transaction OF the
public business, etc. BY the pro-
visions of this law police officers were
permitted to receive passes over the
surface and elevated railroads of this
city. The constitution prohibits the
acceptance of railroad pass by any
public official Whether the law
lie unconstitutional or not has
not vet been determined, but
not long after its passage the
surface ana elevated roads issued
passes to majority of the police force.

officials thereupon issued orders to
conductors to refuse to honor passes
presented by policemen, unless the
latter were in uniform, This action
causes the policemen to grumble. The
Police Commissioners have had
several conferences with the officials
of the different roads to see
If an understanding could not be
arrived at, so that all the officers
might make use of the passes. The
more conferences the greater the con.
fusion, and now only the roads upon
which the passes will be generally hon
ored are those operated by the Metro
politan Traction company. Some un-
derstanding between the roads of this
company aud the commissioners, the
details of which the commissioners re-
fuse to divulge, has been reached, by
which policemen, uniformed or not,
may ride free.

The sporting blood of the Loril-
lards, and especially that of "Peter
the Great, ," never cools. Here is the
mighty Pierre making entries for the
Eng .ish Derby of '97, and projecting
all sor.s of stakes to be run for at
Sheepshead Bay. Morris Park and
Gravesend in '97 and '9S. That is the
sort of sportsman that lifts up horse
racing in America and that is re-
spected wherever he goes. He already
enjoys the distinction of being the
only American who ever'won the Eng
lish Derby, and / am sure that no
true sportsman anywhere in the world
would begrudge him the additional
distinction of winning two English
Derbys. "Peter the Great" may be
bit top lofty under certain condi-
tions. but when it comes to horse
racing he is very near the front flight
of true sportsmen.

A friend of mine told me that he
heard good story on George Dunn in
New York. 1t seems that at one
time George undertook to practice
law in Denver. This was some years
ago. He had his sign out, and he
must have worked very hard, for he
always looked exhausted when he en-
tered the Denver Club on afternoons.
At last he said to a friend II think
| must be breaking down. | want to
go away to some place where | can be
quite alone for while. "Why don't
you go to your law office, Georgc?'
put in an unfeeling listener.
All the same George Dunn is fine,
whole-souled, generous fellow, and
there are just as good things in this
world as practising law.

The people are unanimous IN the
expression of their opinion that the
unfortunate Italian girl who took the
life of the wretch that betrayed her
should not be forced to sit in the cleo
trio chair to be killed. The interest
in the case of this poor creature is
based on the great bedrock of justice
aud humanity. All who have read her
story are satisfied that the act was not
premeditated, and that, therefore, she
should not have been found guilty of
murder in the first degree. If she
had been defended as she might have
been, that fact could have been brought
out on the trial and there can be no
question that it would have had very
great weight with the jury.
AS to the humanity side of the case,
the bare suggestion of killing the un-
happy woman, with all the revolving
Accomplishments attending death by
electricity, is a shock to our civiliza-
ton. So deep disgrace as it would
be, must not rest on the State. 1t
would be little short of barbarism.

Some idea of the immense amount
of work transacted in American post
offices is gained by reading the an.
nual report OF postmaster Dayton of
New \ lork. During the past year in
that city there were delivered through
lock boxes and by carriers 466, 600,
434 pieces OF ordinary mail matter,
divided as follows; Letters through
boxes u, 3j5, 1856, by carriers 234, 6SS.
327, postal cards through boxes 6, 795,
l03, by carriers, 47,69S, $50, other
mail matter through boxes 81 666, 500,
by carriers Sc, 30S, IA. 1t required
1906, Gil mail pouches to get these
tons of mail matter through and into
the metropolis, but the showing of
mere mail matter transported is only
one item OF the enormous work per-
formed, when the money order and
other branches of service are con-
sidered.
Behind the mammoth figures of
matter handled and receipts and ex-
penditures recorded lies the great So
cial fact of the immense amount of in
ter communication among the masses.
1t tells of great social transforms
ton since the days OF correspondence
through clumsey stages and slow-mov-
ing sloops. When to this vast amount
of communication through mail
matter We add the services of the tele-
graph and telephone, it furnishes a
striking picture OF the extent to which
every man in this great nation is yir-
tually at his neighbor's elbow from
Maine to Mexico and from British
Columbia to Florida.

New York has been exceptio nally
free from very large fires this season.
The few that have occurred were at
tended to in exceptionally expert
manner by our paid Fire Department,
an improvement on which would seem
to be an impossibility. 1t is extreme
ly fortunate for the property holders
of this city that the Fire Board is not
given to moving chiefs from one en-
gine house to another, sowing seeds of
suspicion, impairing discipline, and
thereby growing crop of inetficiency.
One would think from the pow WOW
that this thirst of New York's popula-
ton could only be quenched in the
saloons. If these million of throats
we're out in an arid desert, with no
spring water within hundred miles,
there might be some use of talking !;
but as there is no water famine in New
York, the human being that must have
beer every hour, or die, is fit sub
iect for Rainsford island. Boston gets
along first rate Sundays, and though
New York will doubtless say its cos
mopolitan population shouldn't be
classed with "provincials," there is a
large Cosmopolitan" element there
also to be considered. from the liquid
point of view.
