The Place That Hns Been Selected as
the Center of Federal Authority.
From the New York Sun.
The day is coming when Rio de Janeiro
will be the New York, and no longer the
Washington, of Brazil. The capital of the re-
public is to be removed to the very heart OF
the union, on the lofty central plateau OF
Goyaz hundreds of miles from the insalu-
brous littoral, and difficult of access for
foreign enemies. When the railroad Is COM
pleted to the proposed capital 1t Will take
eighteen hours to reach 1t from Rio, and all
travellers will be delighted with the change
from the sitting heat of the seaboard to
region where the air Is as balmy as on the
Mediterranean coast of France in winter.
Many years ago this project was preached,
and, If 1t had been carried out, perhaps En-
peror Dom Pedro would not have been de-
thror ed 50 easily. On the seaboard he was
deposed, and he was sent into exile long be-
fore a large part of the country heard the
news. If the seat Of government had been
far in the interior, Dom Pedro's friends
might have regained their wits and come
to the rescue before he was prisoner on
the sea.
The young republic culled leaf from our
own history, and a clause was inserted In
moval of the capital from Rio; so, in 1891,
the Brazilian congress voted the funds
necessary to send commission of twenty
two members to look for favorable site for
Of Goyaz. Senior Luis Cruls, director of
the Observatory of Rio de Janeiro. was at
the head Of the commission, and its studies
and surveys occupied ABOUT year. 1t Is
only this year that the vvIuniinous report
has been issued. although the action and
recommendations of the commission were
approved previously. The report is a fine
product of the press ana INST, and doubt
less has cost the taxpayers a good round
sum, but they can hardly fail to be i'm
pressed favorably with the sumptuous maps
and photographers which give a clear idea
of the topographic features and the pic
turesque aspects of the region, still a virgin
waste, which is destined to be the center of
Brazilian political life.
Almost due northwest of Rio and little
east Of the town of Goyaz is the region that
has been selected for the future District of
Columbia" of Brazil. The work of the COM
mission having been approved by congress-
the mntter Is ended far as locating the
federal district Is concerned.
On the slopes and at the foot of a long.
low ridge of mountains Senior Cruls and
his assistants marked out a parallelogram
containing 4,409 square kilometers The
district, therefore, will be very much larger
than our District of Columbia, and very diff
ferent in shape, for, while it extends many
miles along the mountains, the tract is only
about seven miles in width.

Presence of Mind.
lie Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
A college president who is a great gar
dener wears a glass eye. One day this col
lege presidential being summer, and he on
his vacation-rushed in from the garden
all soiled and spattered, and without his
glass eye. His wife was seated with a
caller of Importance. She perceived the
eternal unfitness of her husbands condi-
ton and frigidly said to him: John go at
once to the library and tell your master
ard soon reappeared, clothed, eyed and in
his right mind.
This college president, it is plain is him
self a man of presence of mind. There are
plenty of men, who confronted by such a
remark of genius as this, would have
stared and faltered out, But, my dear"
and spoiled it all.

Shoe Shining Parlors.
From the Women's Journal.

Mrs. NJ. L. Edison of Chicago one day
found herself down town with shamefully
muddy boots There was no place for her
to go to have them cleaned unless she
cared to make herself conspicuous by TAX
ing a chair at one of the street stands An
idea struck her She made a canvass of the
large buildings where many women were
employed, and received such assurances of
patronage that she rented a vacant store
room on Adams street, equipped 1t with
ten stands, hired ten neat expert boys, and
hung out a sign, Ladies' and gents boot
backing parlor." The enterprise was a
success from the start, women hailing it as
a long felt want. Mrs. Edison has now open
ed a second and larger parlor, and, accord
ing to a local paper, 1t is not an unusual
thing to see a dozen well-dressed women
having their shoes oiled, meanwhile reading
the newspapers, which are furnished gratis.

'One wouldn't think that frost was SUCH

man with the frayed trousers, doubtfully.

A committee, representing the National
Amateur Rowing Association, which gen.
orally holds its annual regattas on Sara
toga Lake, visited Poughkeepsie yesterday
ard inspected the course with a view to
holding the association regatta there next
year. The committee was favorably i'm
pressed with the course, and If the neces-
sary funds can be raised by the citizens of
Poughkeepsie to build boat houses and de-
fray other expenses, the regatta will, in all
probability, go there.
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania have
established an annual race at Poughkeep-

The prospects of an American Henley

The New Boys Acquiring Emciency In
Fire Department Tactics
BUTTE, April 9.-For the purpose of
testing the promptness of the new fire
department, Chief Lapp turned in an
alarm at 10 80 tonight from box 43 at the
corner of Broadway and Idaho, which is
a little more than four blocks from the
lceutral station and about tho same DIS
stance from the Quaftz street house. The
firemen had received no intimation that
thoy were to be called on for an exhibit
ton. and they were all asleep and in bed,
with the exception of the men on watch.
They made one of the remarkably
quick bitches and the hook and
ladder and hose wagons came out of the
central station almost together. The race
out broadway was a pretty and exciting
one. The two teams rama neck and neck
race to the library building, when the
hook and ladder pulled away and Ernest
Thompson had the satisfaction of being
first under the wire. The hook and lad
der dashed across Idaho street on the full
gallop in exactly one minute and 1IT
seconds from the time the hook in the
box was pulled. and the hose wagon fol-
lowed three seconds later. The chemica
engine galloped up in 1 rs. I.
The run was a fine one and occasioned
many Wdffu WIDTHS OF praise LOT OuleI
Lapp and his men. Mr.. Lapp is deserv-
ing of and is rightfully accorded a great
deal of praise for the high standard of
promptness and efficiency to which hehas
brought the department. since it was prac-
tically wiped out by the deplorable acct
dent of 10 weeks ago. Going to work with
new horses aud new men he has already
succeeded In making the department ono
of the best to be found in any city of
Butie's size in the country and il is the
general opinion that he has brought 1t
up to the high standard estab-
lished BY the lamented Chief
Cameron and his brave men. Accom-
plishing this he has the hearty support
of Assistant Chief Jack Flannery and all
of the men who are working together in
perfect harmony.
The boys have been making just such
runs as was made tonight ever since the
two new teams became thoroughly trained
to their work. The two teams at the CEN
trail station cannot be excelled anywhere
and they are both fast runners and pos
sessed of excellent staying qualities. ~
