DemonstrnNons of Little Conseuucncc

WASHINGTON. March G-The news OF
the demonetratiCn against the United States
consulate at Valencia by the Spanish mob
stirred up no resentment whatever among
the members OF the house and caused hardly
any comment. 1t was received as an incl
dent OF no particular Significance but merely
the outbreak of students. Chairman Hit Of
the foreign affairs committee remarked that
the action OF the Spanish government In
closing two OF the universities to prevent
disorder plainly showed its condemnation
OF hostile demonstrations against the United
States.

of the hospital authorities to take
the first six graduates in the final
honor list of the Melbourne Univer-

appoint them resident medical Of
ficers at the institution; but this
year they were confronted with an
unexpected difficulty, for the names
of two ladies appeared on the list.
Among the profession and in the
press the battle ragged hotly as to
the claims of the ladies'; but as the
hospital committee includes politi-
clans who foresee the approach of the
franchise for women, the lady candi-

sporting writers put it, when the
question came to a division, and
they commenced work along with
the four new male residents who are

MEANNESS AND MILLIONS.
Wealthy Englishmen Send Invitations
as Second Class Mail.

/ have been asked whether ever
received social invitations from
millionaires in open envelopes with
halfpenny stamps, and what ! think
of this practice on the part of mil
lionaires. 1t is not often that / am
privileged to receive invitations
from millionaires under any circum-
stances, but it is q remarkable fact
that l have had such an invitation
addressed to me at the halfpenny
rate of postage, and as others have
had a similar experience, suppose
that milhonaires as a class have a
weakness for halfpenny postage
stamps. Probably this weakness
has something to do with their hav-
ing become, or remained, million
aires. A worse failing on the part
of millionaires, of which ! have ex-
perience, is that they occasionally
ask their friends to dinner, and set
them down to a meal quite unfit to
eat. Personally, I would rather
that man took a halfpenny off the
postage of my invitation and spent
it on the dinner. So far as the in
vitation is concerned, there may
possibly be many people who, when
invited to the houses Of millionaires,
would wish the fact widely known,
and would prefer, if possible, that
the invitation should be sent on q
postcard, so that all who run may
read Perhaps it is from this kindly
motive, rather than from parsimony,
that millionaires patronize the half
penny post. Let US think as well OF

Good News From south Dakota.

The glorious results of this sea-
sons harvest of golden grain will
pour a stream of money into the
pockets of every Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands of
acres of choice farming and ranch
land lying east of the Missouri river,
and within one days ride from Chica-
go or Milwaukee which can now be
bought reasonably cheap, but which
before the end of another year may
be advanced in price.
The stock-raising industry in South
Dakota is profitable, ard Eastern cap
ital is now being invested in cattle
and sheep growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing OF
live stock, and the products of the
dairy, are placing South Dakota fore.
most in the ranks of the successful
Western States.
Those desiring full information
on the subject, and particularly those
who wish to seek a new home or pur-
chase land are requested to cores.

The Burning of Moscow.

When the Russians evacuated
Moscow, in 1912, after the battle OF
Borodino, the car ordered the city
to be fired, and large number OF
convicts were pardoned and released
from the jails on condition that they
would do the work of setting fire to
the houses. 1t was well done, the
entire city was reduced to ruins on
September IA and the eight follow
ing days, and the destruction OF
property estimated to exceed $780,
100000. 1t was this step which
forced Napoleon to leave the ancient
capital Of Russia and begin
the retreat. which subsequently
proved so disastrous.
