SUITED THE BRITISH MINISTERS.

Wares Poem About "Hic JONES'" Being
Admitted to the PaintCreek Bar.
From the State Journals Special CORES spondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-During his re-
cent visit in Washington, Z, f Ware of
Kansas, saw Speaker Reed, who is very
fond of the Kansas mans verse, and the
last time had long talk with him. Mr..
Ware had never met Mr.. Reed before
this visit to Washington, but has long
been an admirer of him,
"Ever since l heard Mr. Reed make
speech at the Minneapolis convention"
said Mr.. Ware. 81 have had great adj
niration for him. He is a great man"
Mr.. Ware would not say what Mr..
Reed and he talked about during their
visit. 'Wo conYersed about the current
topics of the day and politics" he said
Further than this, that he would say
nothing"
While Mr.. Ware was here he was one
day in one of the offices on newspaper
row where an acquaintance said to him:
DO you know a man named Dins
more, member of congress?"
mo, never heard of him." said Ware.
tWeIl," continued the acquaintance,
she read one of your poems, He Jones'
to the British minister the other day and
the minister was very much pleased
with it,"
In commenting upon the incident Mr..
Ware said he was totally at loss to un-
derstand how the British minister could
appreciate the poem.
"They admit 4 lawyer over in Eng
land" he said, "tnuch as we induct a
governor into Office, and how he could
have grasped the spirit of 'Hic JONES'
can't understand. He must have had
some body explain it to him"

The committee on lights of the city

consider the proposition of the Edison
company to light the city.
The committee found that the new
proposition differed very little from that
made before and the price asked was
$50 20 per light. Councilman Drew says
that the outside limit of the expenses
of the city plant is $73 per light, aud that
with new machinery this figure will

affairs of Europe than for many cen

Greece is giving to the Cretan revolu-
tionists will hasten the partition of the
Ottoman empire among the European
powers, thus forcing a great change in
the map Of Europe.
For these brief reasons the people of
Greece are of more than ordinary inter

cussion of the political situation here

of the misty past and the present. with
the past predominating. This does not
refer to the Greeks residing in the lar
ger cities. but to the people of the cou2l-
try districts, whose native ideas and
habits have not been disturbed by con-
tact with the floods of foreign sightseers
who overrun certain localities TO view
the famous antiquities
Greece is little place, but the march
of progression has moved SO slowly in
the rural districts that it is more diff
cult to make a journey of fifty miles
here than it is to travel 1000 miles in

penSive FUN Let US figure out the cost
Of a little trip TO California in a, private
car, say of a months duration.
COST OF THE INDULGENCE.
To begin with, your car itself-this is
provided you do not charter a train,
is worth fifty dollars a day. This is
merely for the car. In addition there
are railroad fares and your living bills.
The latter, travelling in a private car,
usually count up to something like three
to five dollars head. If the car COM
pany looks after this service and buys
all your food and wines they will charge
You 10 per cent commission for the
work. So that if your party includes
ten or a dozen you have a second item
about equal to the first cost of the car.
Then there is the charge which each
railway line makes for hauling your
car over the road. East of the Missis-
sippi, with the exception of the New
York Central, this charge is eighteen
full fares. whether there are as many
occupants in the car or not. The New
York Central charges twenty-five full
fares and the roads west of the MISS
sippi fifteen.
Taking the average at eighteen, and
averaging the rate per mile at little
less than three cents-this is rather
below the average for the whole coun-
try, your car fare will cost you about
fifty cents per mile If you make six
or seven hundred miles a day, your
expense is then something like three
hundred dollars per diem. A trip to
California and return will include any
where from six to ten thousand miles.
This means something like three to five
thousand dollars for car fares alone.
You will probably take a week going
and a week coming and a fortnight or
more along the way-say a month in all.
AT 500 a day this is another S3,OO0 or
say $4,000 or $4,000 for the whole
trip.
OF course, if you want a whole train
there is some additional expense. Three
years ago DR.. Seward Webb took
private train to California, consisting
of his own private car, a dining car, OBJ
servation, sleeping and compartment
car. OF course it cost him nothing like
what it would others, as the cars were
furnished by the company of which he
is president, and all of the-roads over
which he Travelled took his train and
hauled it for naught. Had he been
private individual, instead of a Sleep
ing-car magnate, his expense per diem
would have been as follows: Five cars
at $40 each, 5000, or $4,000 for a month;
railroad fares, say s1.50 per mile. 1000
miles, $4,000; running expenses for
table, etc, to suit taste. All told you
might easily make such a trip and.
spend a whole month at it and not have
it cost you more than $4,000 And it
would be very nice.
