THE POLITE WORLD
Miss Florence Waters was the bright

Miss Florence Waters was the bright
and charming little hostess that enter
tanned a number of her friends last night
at the home of her parents on West
Adams street in the celebration Of her
tenth birthday. The handsome house
was prettily adorned with flowers and
long stalks Of green that finished the
corners and hooks with artistic effect.
Nothing was left undone for the happi-
ness of the merry throng Of little ones.
and different devices of games had been
thoughtfully planned by the older heads.
The donkey game was the source OF
much fun and the fortunate guesser
was awarded a pretty prize. Another
unique and very graceful game was
italian nine pins, which was played out
of doors and made pleasant variety
to the evenings entertainment. Prof.
Frank A. Waters and Miss Eula Waters
gave some delightful piano and violin
music, and there was a mixed vocal
quartet that added to the other pleas
ures. The Misses Gala Mead. Alice
Harpham and Eula J. Waters assisted
Mrs. Waters in making the time pass
pleasantly by. Dainty viands were
served on small tables. The party dis
persed at late hour after very happy
evening. The guests were: Irene
Kelly. Marietta Allen. Arvin Brown. Ar

Elton Brown. Susie Burkhard. Lucille

Foreign Prosperity

Prosperity and adversely in Great
Britain are used with equal facility by
protective tariff doctors to bolster up
their theory that a people can tax them
selves prosperous, if only a privileged
class Is given three-fourths of the taxes.
If times are bad in Great Britain it is
because she is a free trade country If
good it is because a lower tariff in this
country permits them to sell here as
we'll as buy.
The Louisville Courier-J Journal COM
menting on this latter phase of the ques-
ton and looking at the matter from a
Republican standpoint says 1t cannot I'M
derstand why times should be good
abroad.
The protectionists say, because the
free traders have opened the American
market to their goods by reduced tariff
But when we go back to the blessed wear
of prosperity, 1892, we find that foreign
ers flooded our markets with 1855, 900 900
Of dutiable goods, and with $40O, 600 900
in 1893, while last year the imports of
such goods were only of the value of
1884, 100000. There does not appear to be
any alarming increase in this. Last year
there was great complaint of the low
condition of trade in Great Britain. Yet
in the last six months of the calendar
year 1895 our imports increased 1927, O0O,-
900 over those of the corresponding
months of 1894. Since January, however.
imports have been less than those of the
same month of 1895. Our imports in
March, 1885, were less than those of
March, 1895, by some 100000. Our April
imports were 100000 900 less than those of
April, 1885 Thus it appears that foreign
countries are experiencing prosperity
Just at the time when our imports are
falling off, while in the days when our
imports Increased the foreign manufac-
turers were in great distress. This does
not bear out the idea that it is our trade
that is making the foreigners rich. Pos
sibly there are other people in the world
who furnish markets for exported prod
ucts. 1t is certain that our imports have
been falling off for several months, so
that the prosperity of foreign manufac-
turers can not be due to our market

A ONE.RAlL RAILWAY



A bicycle railway. over which you can
ride 200 miles an hour! This Is what
Colonel George F. Brott Of Washington
claims can be accomplished by his in
vention. He Is very positive about it.
Colonel Brott says not only will his
bicycle railway be built. but in a COM
paratively short time it will extend all
over the country.
When this road operates from ocean
to ocean. it's inventor assures us,we can
breakfast in New York, lunch in Chica-
go,and the following morning take our
morning cup--of coffee-where the Col
den Gate charms and the orange bios
SONS grow. This very rapid transit will
impart no disagreeable sensations to
the traveller. In fact If he will avoid
looking out of the window, he will nok
know he Is moving at all.
In formal reference to this strange
method OF transporting people from
place to place, it must be called the
Brott Bicycle railway. 1t combines
the principles of the most improved cleo
trio motors Colonel Brott has not yet
ventured to calculate the extreme speed
limit. He Is afraid, 1t is said, that the
result of such a calculation would cast
shadow of improbability over the
whole affair. The structure for the
oars will be slightly elevated, and Will
coHtalH pul d Single rail-, Tor each car
has practically only one wheel, the
other two wheels, which run in grooves
on the guard rail, being intended only
for safeguards. On each side Of the
main rail, and considerably higher, will
be the guard rails, so strong that even
the impact of moving train would
hardly shake them. All the rails are
to be of STEEL
The power. Of course, Is electricity,
The propelling fluid will be furnished
by motor in each car. There can be
no possible danger of O collision, for
Colonel Brott says he has gained so
great command over electricity that
on the approach of q current Of electric
ity foreign to the one generated on the
train, the cars will come to as sudden a
stop as If air brakes had been applied.
The cars which are intended to travel
over this remarkable road are peculiar
in shape. The front one will be pointed
something after the fashion of the
Whaleback-that queer craft that Jour-
neys about the great lakes. This is be-
cause 1t is believed that, with such a
car in front, the resistance to the atmos-
1here will be less. The cars will accom-
nodate from forty to eighty passengers
zach. and their baggage will be stored
on the truck beneath. No freight what
ever will be carried.
Within a few days the directors OF
the company which is to build this mi
rdcuiouS ROAD Will decide whether to
make the first attempt in Washington
or New Jersey. If it is decided to first
experiment in New Jersey, the road
will run from Elizabeth to Camden, five
miles. A bill is pending before congress
granting permission to construct the
road from Washington to New York.
When this is passed there will be any
amount of work begun. and the bicycle
railroad will become, it is promised,
public delight.-New York journal.

This incid ent is related by a writer
in the Chicago Record: "Mr. Osborn
tells an interesting story of his expert
ence at the Texas convention. He was
sitting in his room at the hotel when he
was waited upon by three colored gen.
tlemen who gave their names and said
they had come to see what Major Nc
Kinley was going to do for them. They
explained that they had been to consid-
cradle expense in securing their election
and in attending the convention and
thought they ought to have the money
refunded. Mr.. Osborn looked over the
list of delegates and could not find their
names. When he informed the visitors
of this fact they answered: we are
turnists. Not understanding that word,
Mr.. Osborn looked over the list again,
with the same result and observed:
There must be some mistake for 1 do
not find your names among the dele
gates we are not delegates was the
reply, we are turnists.' The light dawn
ed on Mr.. Osborn's mind. 'Alternates.
you mean? The visitors bowed assent.
WELL, said Mr.. Osborn as he put his
memorandum book back in his pocket.
I'VE are not paying anything to turnists

NOT WANTED BY REPUBLICAN
STATES

McKinley's nomination was the work
of delegates from states which, with few
exceptions, can be expected to cast
their electoral votes for some other
nominee. The east, which must furnish
the votes to elect him, if he is to he
elected, was for any of the candidates
other than Mckinley. The following
analysis by the San Francisco Examiner
of the vote in the convention shows that
as candidate he was strongest where
he Will be weakest as nominee. The
Examiner says:
That Mckinley clearly was not want
ed by the Republican states as their
candidate and that he was forced upon
them by the Democratic and frees silver
states, is learned by a study of the vote
at ST. Louis. The following Democratic
and free silver states supported him

Discussing Woman Suffreoe

Los Angeles Herald (Which, by the
way, has grown to be powerful news
paper) has opened it's columns to a dis
cussion of the question of suffrage for
women: the Ventura Free Press, another
influential paper directly opposed to the
Herald in politics, has done the same
thing. El Barbareno, which is not in
politics at all, will also willingly give
space for discussion of the merits and
dement's of equal suffrage, the editors
only stipulation being that contribu-
tons be clean and not abusive, and that
they be brief, as our space is limited
and that writer's sign their proper

Builders and contractors continue to
regard with sublime Indifference the
laws that protect the sidewalk Tor the
use of the pedestrian. The most fla
grant instance is to be found today at
the corner of Third and Main streets,
where not only is the sidewalk entirely
INSTRUCTED by building materials, but the
latter are so scattered over the street as
to leave only six fet of highway between
bricks and planks and the rails of the
Traction car company, thus rendering
that corner even more dangerous than
heretofore. II is high time that the city
authorities are at pains to see that such
ordinances as exist for the protection
of the public in this regard are enforced.
The announced intention of the Cali
fornia Fruit Transportation company
to ship large amount of green fruit to
England this summer, indicates that the
experimental shipments of last summer
proved successful, and that therefore
prospects are favorable for a wider
market for California products. This
success abroad should be very crafty
ing to the fruit growers of this state;
in fact, to everyone interested in the
promotion of the welfare of the COM
monwealth. The securing of satisfac-
tory prices for products is a matter of
markets. Combinations and other ar
tificial agencies may serve temporarily
to sustain prices. but ultimately the
level of the latter will be fixed by the
demands of the market. The energies of
the fruit growers organizations of Cal
fornia should be ceaselessly directed to
the discovery of consumers.
