The debate on the queens speech in
the House Of Commons. reported in our
dispatches yesterday. indicates that there
is a very strong desire in England TO
arbitrate the difficulty between Great
Britain and the United States growing
out Of the Venezuela boundary dispute
The article in the London Times. TO the
effect that the British government would
gladly avail itself OF any method Of set
BE to both countries. is particularly sig
nidoant. as the Times is supposed 10
speak for the government
a dispatch in the World. however. from
Caracas makes it clear that Great Britain
is not depending wholly upon arbitration
or negotiation for a settlement Of the
boundary dispute. The dispatch contain
cd the information that an English yes
sci is taking soundings at the mouth Of
the Orinoco river. which is regarded as
Nenezuela's strong strategic position. II
is also announced that Great Britain is
Increasing her force Of men and the num-
her of her cannon at stations on the
AmacUro and Cayuni rivers. This looks
little as If Great Britain is determined
to enforce her demand for reparation for
the Yuruan incident. Independently of the
question of the settlement of the boun-
Diary dispute
Stin it would not be wise TO draw hasty
conclusions from what Great Britain is
doing towards strengthening her position
in Venezuela. orders were given for what
is being done there before the feeling in
favor of arbitration was manifested in
parliament.
In view Of the fact that it is recognized
that the United States will not back down
from the position they have taken, and
the further fact that neither this country
nor Great Britain is anxious for war, it
is pretty certain that way out of the
pending dificulty will be found without
resort to arms.

Ague Utilized.

A short distance above Owenton and
New Harmony, Ind, on the Wabash riv-
er, which little towns their resident, Rob
ert Dale owen, has made famous. is the
village of Payson, Ill, says the Washing
ton Star. 1t consists of but a few houses
but it is noted as the home of ague. Not
ordinary chills and fever, but the shaking
kind of ague, where the chattering teeth
play a waltz, and every bone in the body
keeps time to the music.
One of the houses is occupied by a man
of an inventive turn of mind, who is
blessed with a family consisting of a wife
and ten children. He has gone into the
dairy business, and in his spring house is
a large churn, operated by a spring board
Every day butter is made, and the way
it is churned is unique The proprietor
of this little dairy explained its operation
to his neighbOr. You see," he said.
none of us do any extra work, so l cali

One reason why the scientists do not
credit the report that DIT. Nansen has
reached the north pole is the fact that
part of his theory was based on a hoax
His theory, it will be borne in mind, was
to drift to the pole. and he was led to
adopt it because of the fact that some OF
the relics of the Jeanette were found on
the coast Of Greenland in a place that they
could not have reached except by drifting
through the polar sea and probably in the
neighborhood of the pole itself The fact,
according to Di. Dahl of Washington, is
that the finding of the relics was prank
of some of the officers of the naval YES
sci that visited Greenland the year the
relics were alleged to have been found The
guilty parties, seeing their hoax was TAX
en- seriously, were afraid to confess the
truth.

Elm de siecIc Mnrrinre.

Two marriages of the past week are
worthy Of note, as possibly furnishing
straw to indicate which way the wind is
drifting in these end of-the-century days.
In each instance the chief figure was the
woman, and each woman was of that pc
culiar new variety that is the theme
of endless discussion. The newness of
the two women, however, was along differ
ent lines In one instance the bride loved
her art more than her husband. and in the
other the bride loved her stomach to such
a degree that she married husband
to cook delightful viands with which to
fill it.
The first marriage took place in Wash
ington. The bride is a sculptress and q
theosophist She worships her art, and per-
forms religious devotions in queer man
ners. Not long ago she concluded a hus>
band would not be bad thing to have
about the house. But she would not give
up her maiden name, in order to conform
to custom, for all the husbands in the
world. She was known as an artist I'M
der her maiden name, and if she were
to become Mrs. Somebody her identity
would be lost. at least for a time. The
young man she liked proved to he of a
somewhat new variety himself anu
agreed to take her name after their mar,
riage. And so they were married. and
he became Mr.. Adelaide johnson.
The second marriage occurred at Orient

tended one of his dinners, and imme-
diately fell in love with the cook. She
said that any man who could prepare
such delicious roast beef and dainty float
ing island deserved to be married; that
the salad was perfection itself and a man
who could dress salad like that was well
calculated to make woman happy The
young womans enjoyment of the dinner
finally led to her marriage with the cook.
And the report is that according to the
prenupual arrangements old George will
continue to cook the dinners and look
after the household affairs, while Mrs.

1t is evident that the recent bond sale
drew lnany old stockings containing hoard

small lot Of gold paid in at the treasury
day or two ago were five rare old gold
coins. They were s. pieces. and bore the
dates Of 1882 and 1871 yet appeared fresh

ed at the treasury the other day were
probably among those coniscated in 1861.
The total coinage at the DahIonega mint
was about $4,000. but few of its coins
are in circulation. Those received at the
treasury the other day were the first thar

Why Gold Went ONT.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem

In the year 1895 the exports of msrchan-
disc amounted in value to $SO7, 74O,O16 and
the imports were $S01, 66S, 400. Yet, in face
of the favorable" balance of exports. the
tariff organs persistently assert that the
large drain of gold last year, which
amounted to upwards of $70,O00.0O0 was due
to the enormous excess of impoTtations
The foreign call for gold was not due to

To the Letter of the Law.

The Louisville Courier-Journal tells of
an extremely religious man who lives on
Lost Creek. in Greenup county. He is a
close student of his Bible, and doesn't
propose to live on Lost Creek in the next
world If he can help it. A few nights ago
he was searching the Scriptures and ran
across the admonition of Solomon
spare the rod and spoil the child" AT
ter studying the matter over he concluded
that the rod had not been applied often
enough to his own family of seven hone
fuls, and he yanked the entire seven out
of bed and administered a sound whin-
ping to every one Of them.

Congress Running TO Seed.
From the Baltimore Herald Dem.) }.

In Withholding seed supplies from con-
gressmen he has acted with rare discre-
ton. Aside from the hayseedy appearance
of many of the representatives and some
senators, one has only to follow the daily
transactions of the two houses to realize
that the seed production at the capitol is
astounding. 1t certainly should suffice to
supply the whole country, without any eff
forts upon the part of the agricultural de-
partment. Nowhere else are cabbage
heads and pumpkins so prolific. Mr.. Vest
might undertake TO gather small portion
of the bountiful harvest, and use 1t in
growing a new crop of statesmen.

Southern Republican Delegates.
From the Chattanooga Times CDem).

When a republican candidate comes
south for delegates he betrays weakness;
for the southern delegations to republican
national conventions have no electoral
votes to offer. There is some little show
now in a few of the border states: but
heretofore the southern republican dele
gate represented only himself, and he was
not apt to be any too respectable a guam

There is no doubt that the people of
North Platte. Neb.. have been immeasure-
ably shocked. along with other people in
this country, at the religious frenzy of the
Turks which induced them to hack the
helpless Armenians to pieces. Nevertheless
in North Platte the other night Chris
tian Science preacher was tarred and
feathered and driven out of town. The spir-
it which led to the persecution of the
preacher in North Platte was Identical
with that which led to the massacres in
Armenia. 1t was RELIGIOUS Intolerance.
