siderable influence over the European
stock market. There Is not much doubt
that the republican delegation from mis-
own state Will be for him when the next
national convention meets. He himself
Is dumb on matters presidential, and care
FULLY refrains from insinuating even in
most indirect manner that he is aware
that presidential election impends All
the same he takes care Of his physical
condition and whatever may be said
OF his age 1t is the simple truth that no
presidential possibility ever lived a more
athletic life.
It is as certain as any event Of the IN
certain future can be that Debs viii be
nominated for the presidency by
the populists next year. The New York
state convention OF the third party recent
~ took action that will insure him the
votes OF the Empire state delegation. He
is sure Of the votes from his own state.
His friends have adroitly managed to
put Dallas. Tex. in the lead as the city
most available for the convention. His
advocates are facetiOusly dubbed hay
seeds on horseback and the man himself
declares he is himself a hayseed on horse
back This is new variation of the
famed Napoleon dictum. 1t may seem
odd that New York could so control the
action Of a party that has its strength in
the west But Debs' partisans have man
aged to capture the big states, where
there is no strength 70 contend against.
There has been a pOpulist movement to
nominate the old ticket but il has prac-
tically fallen through. Debs will be the
man and his following is not only en-
thusiastic but for some mysterious reason
has secured possession Of all the money in
the organization.
Lord Sholto Douglas. the erratic son of
tho Marquis of Queensbury, has a bride
who is quite well known in New York,
owing to her influential relatives. Miss
Mooney was only known in San Francisco
as a concert hall singer. She sang in front
of a stage while a long haired maestro
thrummed a piano in the rear. But her
people belong TO the old irish family of the
O'Conor Don, and in New York city the
Moneys were wealthy two generations
ago. They owned land in the metropolis
and married into some exclusive families.
Not few society women would receive
the young lady very readily. II is no won
der, therefore, that the Marquis of Queens
bury was satisfied with the fair maids
pedigree They are expected to stay in New
York for a short time and that they will
be royalty entertained goes without say
ing. The young man did far from foolish
thing, for he seemed to be in need Of some
restraining influence The two are said to
be very much in love and Lord and Lady
Sholto may be social powers in time.

RUSSIAN DUST STORMS.

Inc Revue Encyclopedique gives an in

Belgian review Ciel at Terre regarding
the terrible dust-storms of Southern Rus

1T is to NJ. Kossovsky, professor in the
University OF 1essa, that we are indebt-
ed for this study. Thanks to a network
of meteorological stations intelligently es-
taDllshed, ne has been able first 10 centra-
lie and then to discuss and compare
nearly 800 descriptions of storms occurr-
ing in the years 1892 and 1898. The whirl-
winds occurr in three groups of which
the severest was observed on the 29th
and SOth of April. 1898. The dust, accom-
panied by very strong east winds comes
from the shore of the Sea of Azov. At
the east of Russia is a region of high at
mospheric pressure; to the south a cv-
clone which advances slowly, the whirl-
winds occupying the boundary region be-
tween the high pressure and the cyclone.
The narratives of the Don Cossacks. of
those in the districts north of the Tau
ride, of leka terinoslaV, and of a part of
those of Poltowa present pitiable picture

a thickness of Is centimeters q inches). In
the central part of the district of Ber

great damage was done. Curiously enough
a long strip of land along the sea shore
the fields were more and more devastated
hills of sand, some of them three meters
g feeD high, were formed, attesting the
passage of a terrible storm, and the ra
vines were choked up. The storm RACED
only in this district, where 800 square kilo-
meters ESQ square miles) of cereals were
destroyed. To the west and north the
storm lost its devastating character ana
became haze formed of fine powder.
which from May TO May was apparent
even as far north as St. Petersburg. and in
Finland, Sweden, and Denmark. This
haze resembled, according to NJ Poprou-
periko, a comet of which the dust storms
formed the head and the rarefied mass of
haze represented the tail.
We will now proceed to some general re
marks on these storms In general a
diurnal period can be noted; the dusty haze
appears ordinarily at the eastern horizon
at dawn, attains its greatest force abop+
p. m, and ceases toward evening. In
some localities, nevertheless the phenom
enon persists till night. The irregularitv

WASTE OF MONEY.

The recent expose of missionary methods in China, published by the Los Angeles Times, charging that money put into missionary boxes in America is used to hire converts in China, suggests that the talent thus demonstrated in our foreign mission aries could be put to better use at home buying votes. However it is to be hoped that a few exposes of this kind will open the eyes of Americans to the folly of the foreign missionary work. Belief in Christian doctrine is matter of intellectual development. When the barbarOus and half civilized nations of the earth develop to the American and European intellectual standard, they will become Christian perforce. But to send out missionaries with plenty of money, into lands where the population have not sufli- cient grasp of mind to embrace Chris tianity, to hire converts who profess the faith only so long as their month ly stipends are forthcoming, neither Christianizes nor civilizes the people on whom the money is spent. It is a foolish waste.

IS THIS A FREE COUNTRY

The mayor of Dallas, Texas, is an editor who publishes an agricultural journal with wide circulation. Nu- merous subscribers are asking him if he approves the -Fitzsimmons fight and will countenance it officially. He parrles their inquiries by calling attention to the fact that the nght win take place outside the city limits, and his jurisdictionl in consequence of which his official approval or dis approval cuts no figure-and those subscriptions are saved.
 But the reflection naturally arises, what business is it to the subscribers of that editors paper whether he ap- approves or disapproyes of the Cor bett- t-Fitzsimmons prize fight, so long as he gives it no space or attention in the columns of his journal, which Is purely an agricultural paper, dealing nothing but information, of more or less value, about conducting farming operations? His subscribers took his paper, in the first instance, because they want that information. Why should they seek to deprive themselves of that for which they have willingly paid, in order to coerce his action in another direction, where they have no part, and which is in no way connect ed with his contract to give them in- formation on purely agricultural topics?-and in which, furthermore, he has shown, he is without any legal power to act.
 This disposition to coerce the opin- ions and actions of men, on all sorts of questions, is becoming too prevalent in America. Men have become too ready to reach out and strike at the trade or livelihood of those who take adverse positions, or hold views upon public questions diverse to their own. This evil has grown until business men everywhere are held in a sort of terrorism, and are frequently pre- cluded from discharging some of the most sacred obligations of friendship, and rightful duties of citizenship, be- cause by doing so they will be sub- jected to financial loss, or curtailment of trade, by those who can control such trade, who may want matters otherwise.
 Only occasionally do such matters become public-as in the case of the Dallas editor. but they are occurring every day. They naturally suggest the inquiry at the head of this article, viz: "Is this is a free country"

STANFORD'S ONLY SON.
The Child In Whose Honor the University
Was Built.

No prince or potentate no founder of
nation or emancipation of a race, was ever
honored with so magnificent "a monument
as that erected to perpctuate the memory
of ID yearold boy at Palo Alto, about 80
miles south of San Francisco, on the coast
division of the Southern Pacific railroad.
This child, the son of Leland and Jane
Lathrop Stanford, died some years ago in
Rome while he was making a tour Of Eu-
rope with his tutor. His father and moth
or almost deiflcd him and dedicated ono OF
the largest fortunes that man has ever &C
cumulated entirely to the education of
other peoples children, who from this
time on forever are to render homage to
his name.
Everything Is preserved as he left it.
The room he occupied in the great villa,
which has sheltered so much wealth and
luxury and gaycty, has never been dis
turbed. His playthings lie as he placed
them when he started away for few
months of pleasure. A toy railroad that
was laid across the lawn and through tho
shrubbery to amuse him and give him a
practical knowledge of the occupation Of
his father, and that which he was expected
to follow, still lies there. Its rusty rails
are pathetic witnesses to memory that
must not be erased, and shed is pointed
out In which the tiny cars and locomo-
tiveS, which cost thousands of dollars, are
preserved.
His crude cabinet of curios, marked with
his boyish hand, is the nucleus of q 81,
600, 900 museum; $500 acres of the best
farming land in America, the finest stock
farm in the world, with II or IS high
bred horses, 5000 acres of vines, valuable
real estate in the city of San Francisco,
thousands of thoroughbred cattle and per
sOnal property, which has been inventoricd
at SIS, 600, 600 for taxation, but is believed
to be worth much more, were placed
in the hands of board of trustees, who
were to erect a university, to be called by
his name and lend the influence of the
child III shaping the character and develop
ing the manhood and the womanhood Of
generations that are to come.
His bones lie in a stately mausoleum
erected in conspicuous place upon the
campus, and those of his father We're late
ly placed beside them with great ceremony
and sorrow. A niche remains for the
mothers casket, when the death angel
calls her name. Then the great bronze
doors are to be sealed, the key is to be
melted, and the dust that is sheltered by
the massive walls is to lie un6sturbod I'M
til the last trumpet sounds, for the Stan
ford family will be extinct.-sSan Francis
