I,ov,rs Prefer Death to separation.

The mystery of the Leayenworth.
Kan, hotel tragedy has been cleared
away when relatives went to care for
the young girl in her dying moments
and to take away the dead body OF the
man with whom she sought to die. The
girl is still alive but has not regained
consciousness and can not live. The
story revealed is one of love, poverty
and the seeking of death to overcome
troubles that were by no means serious.
John Hartwig, the dead man, was but
2i wears old, the son of farmer.
Mary Bush, but 10 years old, and quite
pretty, is the daughter of apoor section
hand. who works on the Missouri Pa
cific road, at Pomeroy. The country
youth and maiden had met and loved,
but when they proposed marriage the
girls father objected. Young Hartwig
was without means. From develop
ments it is evident that the young
lovers had discussed their poverty, the
parental opposition to their marriage,
and what seemed to them their DARK
prospects, until death seemed preferable
to life. Their journey to Leavenworth

I will undoubtedly result in the death Of

SMASHING THE RECORDS.

Every American must be proud OF the
achievement nj of the st. Paul of the Ameri-
can line in breaking all records of rapid
passage across the Atlantic. not because
a few hours have been taken OFF the time
needed for making the trip, but because
IN few years American shipbuilders
have not only eGuaIed but surpassed the
best work Of their foreign competitors.
Just as in the oIden days the American
clipper ship was the greyhound of the
seas ana eXcelled in swiftness the vessels
Of all other nations. and even as today
Ame rican ya chts prove themselves the
speediest in all international races. so
American shipbuiidcrs stand before the
world now as the constructors of the
fastest and most powerful warshps and
of the swilteSt steamships for CO CmmerciaI
uses.
While taking proper pride in this
latest feat OF one of the vessels Of he
An!cri can line, it should be borne in
mind that the building OF the St Paul
aud the st. Louis was stimulated by the en-
couragement given the builders by the
government. 1t should also be remem-
bered that in these two ships and their
companions, the New York and the Paris,

GREATER NEW YoRK'S PROJECT

Il
The proposition has been broached in
New York that fitting celebration of
the organization of the second greatest
city in the world and OF the real fin
de siecle'' would be an International
exposition in tue year 1900. True, less
than four years remain for the pr separation
OF an enterprise that would have to be
conceived and executed upon a gigantic
scale aud conform. at the same time,
TO the highest exaCtions of artistic per
fection, in order to be a worthy success
sor of the Chicago Worlds Fair, and
there is also the plan for an exposition
in Paris in that year, but still the project
is fascinating. Those who have sug-
gested it believe that American pluck,
energy, and enterprise can overcome
obstacles even greater than those that
seem TO be in the way here, and that New
York Will not fail where Chicago sue
ceeded.
1t cannot be denied that such an expo-
sition would ideally sgualiZe the closing
of the nineteenth and the opening of the
twentieth century. II it is found to be
practicable to make all the necessary ar
rangements for so vast an undertaking in
the comparatively short space OF three
and half years, New York is wealthy
enough to carry it through financially
without any assistance from the general
government, though, OF course, the United

INTERIOR WATERWAYS.

There is a committee OF the House of Rep
rcscntatiyes ON Railways and Canals, but
If il ever devotes any of its time to the
| consideration of the question of such water
waysthcpublicis kept i'll nproroundignorance
of the fact Aud yet there is no subject OF
such general importance as that of inter
state canals, on which the farmers produce
can be shipped from the farm to the mar
kets at Il low rate of freight. tits singularly
strange that the farmers of the country
have not long since agitated this question
with a view of influencing not only Con-
gresS but the legislatures of the various
States Their profits are eaten up by the
heavy tolls exacted from them 10y the rail
roads, and yet year after year they tolerate
the imposition and make no elroTt to shake
off the burden. All the grain of the West
could bc transported TO Eastern Points ut
a mere fraction OF the freight rates now
charged by the railroads if interstate canals
were in existence.
Now and then a scheme bobS up in Con-
gjeSs for some ship canal. From time to
time we have heard about the Hennepin
canal, and the Delaware and Chesapeake
canal and the Illinois and Michigan canal.
Report AFTER report has been made, but
the matter never went further than this
These, OF course, are interstate ship canals
in contemplation Intended 70: the move
nlent of steamships; not the good, old tow
path canal ON which mule power is the
propelling agent. But even these ship
canals, ON which frei ghts would be higher,
OF course, than on the more primitive and
leSseXpensive waterwa Us, have been always
silently, but none the less effectively, an
tagonized by the railway corporations.
Even they would be too dangerous competi-
tors for freights, ana thus we find that the
OILY canal on which steam power is used,
the Erie. though located entirely within
the confines OF the Empire State, is con-
trolled by the New York Central Railroad
Company.
II needs no great perspicuity, therefore
to comprehend that the railroads antagon-
ize even more dcterminedly Ike ordinary
canal than its more ambitious brother,
for il an interstate system Of these lesser
canals were in operation the railroads
income from freights would be very CON
sderahly diminished But what would
be the railway company's poison would
be the farmers meat, because such OF
his products as do not suffer from being
week or more in transit lie could get
TO market with a very much larger margin
for himself than is possible now when he
must pay what the railroads demand or
let his produce perish in his barns Be
sides. the operation OF such canals would
have the inevitable effect of forcing down
the railroad freight rates, and the farmers
would thus be benefited i'll more than one
way.
