Call Her Conservative.
Queen Victoria Is Il remarkably con
scrvativo old lady SC fat as The routine
of life goes. She lor"T old customs and
doesn't like new things--,not even new
furniture or new fashions. "Whcn IL
distinguished lady" it is said, "a few
years back, sent her children by her
majcsty's request to Windsor, sho sent
them dressed rs was and Is still tho
mode, IN tucked blouse dresses without

no child should be brought to her in

her mind did not exist without the
smart sash she had always known.
And very courteously but firmly sho
made objection to the little froclss, and
asked that the next time tho countess
brought her children to her that 'she
would not forget the sashcs.'"
The queen, says the New York Trib-
unc, still wears the horrible congress

foot shows no sign Of Spanish instep.
Her children still address her in the
way which was fashionable when they
were little things. No member of thc

at Is evident from week to week that
public sentiment Is coming more and
more to the support of the police depart
ment in this fight, and is becoming EN-
FILTERED against the law defying liquor
dealers, and IL will be difficult to keep
that sentiment from opposing legislation
and regulation which will favor a class
that impudently refuses to submit to
law"
So says the New York Times. Coming
from such a source this statement is
almost surprising. 1t indicates that the
rum power in New York city has be
come bloated with arrogance and now
that IL has been thwarted is acting In o
manner to disgust those who would other
wise be It's friends. 1t also indicates that
the people Of New York city are not lost
to all moral sense: that they see no rea
son why the reputable trader should be-
confined to six days in the week, and thr
disreputable be able to run wide open
seven days; that what is needed to bring
out the best in New York sentiment is an
occasional Parkhurst n a Roosevelt.

F%iendishness OF Typical Turkish Soldier.

A correspondent Of the London Daily
Newshas been taking dispositions OF Turk
ish soldiers who participated in the Arme-
MAN massacres. One young soldier re-
called the horrible incidents with glee.
He told of the Armeniars being compelled
to dig their own graves and laughed up
roariously as he described the manner in
which one priests eyes were plucked out
before he was spcarcd to death.
Had you any other priests to deal
With" asked the correspondent.
"Oh, yes" he said, several; and we had
sport with them all. There was one fell
low we put in IA leather bag and hung up
1t the top Of scared tree. He writhed and
wriggled for days, and the bag turned
round and round In the sur like a top.
It was the funniest thing! Some of the
soldiers were going to shoot at the bag
but the officers forbade them. AT last the
bag ceased to move. Then it was cut
down and thrown into the trench"
This man Is represented rs a type OF
the Turkish soldier whom the Sultan en-

Midsummer Madness.

This is very trying" weather. Indeed
1t is folly to expect anything different at
this season of the year. The records OF
the police courts and the insane hospitals
assure us of this. And then as If this
were not sufficient we are afforded other
portents; mete ORIG showers and sun
dogs, for instance, to demonstrate the
truth. Indeed the signs are not wanting
even In such IN e%minently practical field
as politics. Rarely, however. is the coun
try subjected to such a portentous demon
stratlon of midsummer madness as is be
ing worked up for our fellow fisherman

seeking his hook with avidity, his

we have heard from Adlai Stevenson TO
the effect that Mr.. Cleveland would posi-
lively decline" But he did not say this
until he had arrived at the oItposts of th,

TO conceive that his expression was bur
