In the whole world there are about
Al 900 newspapers and periodicals. Of
this number the United States has 49,
S55. Of the other leading nations,
Germany issues 5000 periodicals;
France, 400; England, 1000; Austria,
3, 800; Italy, 1,400; Canada, $40; Aus
tralia. 700; South America, 635; Asia,
46I; Africa, 100. 1t will thus be seen
that this country issues nearly half the
newspapers of the world. The state OF
New York alone prints more papers
than the whole world lying south of
the equator. A writer in the New
York World says reasonable estimate
would give nearly three billions as the
number of copies of newspapers and
other periodicals issued in the United
States in one years time.-BuAetin.

One Price Store.

There is tale, how once whale
Who lived near Greenlands shore,
Had soaked his fin, to get the tin
To beat the Long Brick Store
For times were hard, and walrus lard
The trade reviewers said
Like the Esquimaux was very slow,
And business prospect dead.
The smaller fry will quickly buy
When prices come in reach,
Tho ShOddy frOckS from ancient stocks
May strand them on the beach,
'Tis in the books they'll bite my hooks
SolilOquzed the whale;
To get more goods he straightway puts
A mortgage on his tale
And then he'd blow and try to show
How it surely couldn't be-
That we could sell as low and well
And better goods than he
He took his way, by Hudson bay,
A wake of whales astern.
When swordish bold swan out and told
Our famous Whalc sale yarn.
You'll find it So as south you GO
The truthful swordfish said,
And then the whale began to quail
But still he forged ahead
Twas off the strand of New Foundland
He heard the news afiOat
On avarv side .sRy wind and tide.
Here comes Smiths great whale boat =
And then that whale turned very pale
And sea green round his gills,
AS if he'd took by great i'll luck
A box of Jonah pills.
His paintings short were now the sport
OF nearly every one
And his coatings rank of blubber shranfz
Beneath our soft spring sun.
Then all that host gave up the ghost;
Their courage all had failed,
And on the beach their old bones bleach,
For they had been outwhaled!
Our sales still on, sure as gun,
And if you want the best
Wen surely try to suit your eye
In quality and taste.
Our prices low as they can go,
Will satisfy your purse,
But if you care to go elsewhere
You'll find it the reverse
We're in the swim and chances slim
For all the other whales

GIGANTIC SCANDAL
An Alleged Robbing Game at the San Quentin
Jute Mills

An ANeReo kODDtng uannc Al tue San Vuenttn
Jutc Mills
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE
Chronicle will print an article tomorrow
morning to the effect that Governor
Budd is investigating what promises to
be o gigantic scandal concern ing the
management of the state prison at
San Quentin. There is said to be ground
for believing that men high in author ity
are implicated ina scheme to self portion
OF the product of the jute mill for their
own profit. An instance pointing to-
ward this conclusion is said to be the fact
that ]. W. Vanderbilt, the shipping
clerk, has been in the habit OF keeping
two books containing the bills OF ladng
an official record and record for his
own information. When questioned by
the governor with regard to the existence
of the second book. it is said that Van
derbilt atsfirst denied that he kept more
than one record of the bills of lading,
but later admitted that he did. 1t is also
said that the jute mills are not turning
out more than one-half of the manufac-
tured product that they did under Warden
McComb's administration, but this as
sertiOn is met by the prison officials with
the statement that the mills are running
only half the number OF hours that they
fomeriy dia.
The Chronicle says the Investigation
has not proceeded far enough to indi-
cate who is at fault even il the charges
are true.

THE SHARON ESTATE
The Trust to Be Dissolved and the Property
Distributed

The Trust to Be Dissolved and the Property
Distributed
SAN FRANCISCO. July 17.-After an
existence of ten years the sharon estate
trust will soon be dissolved ana the prop
erty distributed, except 50 far as it is
deemed advisable to hold some portions
intact. the heirs sharing in the income
from those portions.
Under the will of the late William Sha-
ron, who died November 3, 1885, trust
was created to last ten years, at the expr-
alton of which the heirs, Frederick Sha-
ron. Lady Hesketh (nee Sharon) and the
two children of Frank kNewlands. were to
divide the property. In less than four
months the term Of the trust will expire
and many preparations have been made.
One Of the most important deals has
just been consummated, or rather the
last transaction of a series involving the
disposal OF valuable property has been
made. At one time the Sharon estate
owned One.quarter of the stock of the
Bank OF California, amounting to 1000
shares, out of a total of 30. coo. For three
years this stock has been sold in small
lots until rather less than 2000 shares re-
main. Now the balance, all but thirteen
shares, has been solo in block to locBl
syndicate OF capitalists at the market
rate of 1920 share. involving a transac-
ton of about $500. 900 in round figures.

AN HISTORICAL BANQUET

Many nouveaux riches pride them selves
upon the prodigal magnifioence OF their
entertainments. Theirs are only kinder
garten episodes compared to those OF their
predecessors of the time o. Louis XIV of
France. Bouvet, one of these, excel!ed
all OF his class in lavish extravaganza, and
wound up by dying in penury. In the
memoirs of noted woman OF the period
there is an account Of a banquet given by
Bouvet to Mashal SAKE, at which only
twelve persons. male and female, were
present. 1t was the month OF November,
yet all the ailments were these OF spring
time. The guests were led to the dining
room, across garden, the walks OF which
were covered with carpets to represent
green grass. The paths were bordered
with trees clothed in artificial leafage,
from which hung fruits OF all sorts. In ad.
dition, the walks we're lined with flower
ing shrubs, among which fitted birds Of
marvellous plumage. Although late in ths
autumn, the tenn perature was raised arti-
ficially to that of June. To Mme.d de Saint
Seve, who was re stricted to diet of milk,
was exhibited COW tethered in ont
in the care OF two Swiss women. The an
imal was feeding out of trough OF silver
upon green peas at two louis-s3-a quart.
During the banquet Nine. de Saint-Seve
was served with milk fresh drawn from
the COW. To the Dutchess Mirepoix was
given a fowl aux truffes enveloped in
WHdb dppculti W De lace II tilc lilest tcN-
ture, but. which in fact, was "a Wand Of
the gods" The Dutchess d'Ancenis
would eat nothing but fruit; she was
served with peaches each too large to hold
with the two hands. and contained in a
basket OF enameled precious metal. Nine.
do Flavacourt preferred quails. They we're
presented to her in cases of gold their
beaks and feet covered with diamonds and
they were served with a sauce, the men,
ory of which fingered for days" Nine.
de Bouffiers, who pined for salmon, then
out OF season, found one IN front of her.
1t was dressed with green com mpos ton.
with large sapphires for eyes. pearls tor
teeth and ruboy rings in its nostrils.
There was nothing lacking, even to the
treatment of the host with rudeuess. Is
it in this that Bouvet is the prototype OF
the nouveaux riches of today who crave to
entertain people of title? In the words
OF the author of the memoirs, I'VE felt
entirely at ease with this farmer of the
revenue. 1t was precisely as # we were
at an inn. Bouvet. overwhelmed with the
honor of our presence, humbled himself
in every way, so much so that he was
completely ignored. New York Sun.

POLITICS IN GREAT BRITAIN
Condition OF the Different Parties at
Present
The Liberals Almost Wiped Out In London.
Conservatives Take Heavy Gains.
Exciting Contests

LONDON, July 1.-THE result oi
todays polling leaves the different par
ties in the following conditions: Con.
rvatives, $50; Liberal U nionists, 80;
total Unionists, 269: Liberals, Mccarthy
ties, '8 Parnellites, g.; Labor, 2; total,
l01.
With fewer polls the Unionists gained
IA seats while the Liberals did not gain
a single seat.
Their majortIes being generally re-
duced. the Liberals we're almost wiped
out in London. Out of Is contests in
the metropolis they lost seats. The re-
turns from London are now complete, ex-
cept Wadsworth, which will be declared
tomorrow. Out of 62 members from the
metropolis So are Unionists and Lib
erals. Conservative majorities have bsen
heavy. The total Conservative gains
were "a, against IL for the Liberals.
The Conservative have majority of 80
in the new house os commons. The ost
exciting contest of the day was at West
Leeds, where Hon. Herbert Gladstone
majority against Col. North. Others
elected today are: Rt. Hon. George
Curzon, Mr.. Sidney c. Buxton, Rt. Hon.
James Lowther. Rt. Hon. Sir George o.
Trevelyan and Mr.. Gerald Balfour.
NEW YORK, July ia dispatch to a
local paper from London says AS the
borough results develop. it becomes evil
dent that the reaction against the Liberal
party is not confined to any issue or To-
cality. Nothing could be more partially
distributed tnan its evil fortune. The
latest list of the losses covers all sorts of
electors and smashes another group of
ministers. among wnom Arnold Morley
can be well spared. 1t is assumed low
Asqu,th will be beaten in Fife and prob
ably John Morley IN Newcastle and it is
obvious that there will not be safe seats
enough left to provide for them all. Har-
court, it Is SAID, will come in from West
Monmouth
The Hincident worthiest Of attention
now is that the Liberal who sat for Fins
bury has been heavily beaten and that the
Tories in turn elected another Parsee for
Bethnal Green. Today the first OF the
rural districts will begin to vote, and
from all one hears they will not do any
thing to change the current of political
drift.
