the picking as much more. The remainder

Purrinr TbemseIves of Sin.

Thousands of people lined the docks on
both sides of the Chicago River in the
vicinity of 10Th street, Chicago, all Tues
day afternoon, and for the first time in
its history the muddy, sluggish stream
actually rivaled the Thames when its
banks are crowded with spectators at
Henley regatta. The crowds that gath
cred along the edge of the south branch
was composed entirely of Russian Jews.
Men, women and children flocked there to
perform one of the rites of their religion.
Tuesday was New Years Day, on which
the Jewish year 5651 began, and part of
the ritual of the orthodox religion fol-
lowed by the Russian Jew is said to in
volve pilgrimage to the nearest water
side, where the worshipers repeat many
prayers and end by purging themselves
Of their sins. This latter act is accom-
plished by energetic gestures, which SYM
boiiZe that the sins are hurled into the

tacle of several thousand people earnestly
reading from prayer books and tossing
unseen objects into the water attracted
other crowds which lined the 10Th street
and 9th avenue viaducts for blocks.

phrase, Pouring oil on the troubled

"soapsuds' for OIL Popular Science
News says that experiments have
shown that soapsuds will reduce n sea
almost as well as oil.
The first trial was made ON the Sean
dia, in a storm on the Atlantic. A large
quantity of soap and water was dis
charged over the bow, and its effect
was nearly instantaneous, the height
of the waves being so diminished that
the vessel could be managed without
difficulty.
The steamer Senegal, struck by n
squall In the Adriatic, used soap and
water with the same result Six pounds
of soap was dissolved in two barrels
of water This solution, when dripped
over the bow. made quiet space about
ten yards wide, preventing the waves
from breaking over the vessel to any
great extent.

Catching a Tartar.


Highway robberies, even under the
modern name of 'hold-ups," which al
ters nothing of their character, have
become decidedly rare in the far North
west; and they are likely to become
still rarer if all intended victims make
as brave and effective resistance as did
a grocer of Rainier, Washington, re-
Gently.
This grocer, whose name Is Hubert,
started from Rainier with his wagon
to go to Tacoma to buy goods. With
him was Il 13-year-old boy. He car
pay for his purchases.
While he was about two miles from
Roy and on a lonely road two highway
men stepped out, confronted the gro
Ger, pushed pistol into his face, and
commanded him to dismount and hand
over his money.
Hubert had no notion of giving up
the money, but he did not waste any
time in thinking up plan for beating
the robbers. He began to get down
from the wagon as if to comply, and
as he did so he struck the rascal who
held the pistol terrible blow which
felled him to the ground. Hubert
came down with one heavy foot upon
the wrist of the hand which held the
revolver
While the robber was in this posi-
ton, the grocer snatched the weapon
away from him and pointed it at the
other rascal. 1t turned out that the
second robber had no pistol Hubert
commanded him to put up his hands,
which he did.
Meantime the first man was insensi-
BILE from the terrible blow which HUI
bert had dealt him. Hubert made the
second hold up his hands for ten min
utes. until the first had recovered his
senses Then he commanded the first
to get up, and told them both to march,
which they did.
Thus the grocer took them both into
the town of Roy, the boy driving close
behind with the horses and wagon. At
Roy the thwarted highwaymen were
turned over to constable and locked
up. and the grocer went on his way to
Tacoma.

he is to erect at the corner of the
Avenue Malakoff and the Avenue du

that of the Grand Trianon and about
half it's size. Its length will be 200
feet; extreme depth 200 and length of
size on Avenue Gu Bots de BoulOgne

100000. The Third full year will not
be ended until June 30. 1t will include
the February sale of $1O0,000000 bonds.
The interest paid on the war debt
was S15O.977697 in 1865. That was
high-water mark.
In 1892, the last fiscal year Of the
Harrison administration, the interest
paid was s22S93,S33. That was the
low-water mark.
The interest paid in 1895 was $780,
100000. For 1896 the interest charge
will be about $34,000,O0O.
The interest charges of 1865 are
about what the pension appropriation
bill calls for now. The interest charges
now are about what was paid in pen
sions thirty years ago.
iVhe Governments fiscal year ends on
June so. The figures given above are
on that basis. The presidential year
ends on the Sd of March. In order to
make comparisons more accurate, Sem
ator Cockrell has had separate COM
pilation made by presidential years for
the Harrison and the two Cleveland
administrations.
When Mr.. Cleveland entered the
White House on the 4th of March, 1885,
the public debt was 81 1876, 1880 Dur
ing that administration the debt was
reduced $33S,043 $780, The interest paid
during the first Cleveland administra-
ton was S1SS, 25S,905. In principal, in
terest and premiums there was paid in
the four years of the first Cleveland
administration 1851, 100000.
President Harrison found the public
debt $S5S, LOG, 220 when he entered upon
his term. He left S5S5, 1920. The
reduction of the principal during the
Harrison administration was 1858, $685.
260. The interest paid during the Har-
rison administration was $12S,521 ,436
The payments on principal, interest
and premiums during the four years
of Harrison were s423, 100000.
President Cleveland completed three
years of his second term in March of
this year. The debt was $5S5, 900
when he was inaugurated the second
time. At the end of his third year,
March 8, 1896, it was SS22,0O0,00O, an
increase of 1927, 100000.
The interest paid in the third pres

We find the following in the Atlanta
| (Ga) Peoples Party Paper, edited by
ex-Congressman Tom Watson. 1t is
the true ring and so fully presents the
policy of the Nonconformist that we
reproduce it in full:
Were We to consign the remaining
planks in our platform to the rear and
champion bimetallism as the sole is
sue, We would virtually repudiate all
else and accomplish nothing even in
victory. If bimetallism were 10 win
it would not be a Populist victory by
reason OF thc more thoroughly estab-
lished identity Of the old parties. One
or the other would be awarded the
distinction, while the Populist party
per Sc would lose it's identity alto
adjust the party machinery or reorgan-
ize the forces which are now working
so tremendously for the success of a
winning platform. The proposition to
wage united warfare in behalf of BIZ
metallism or any other individual re-
form sounds very plausible. Success
would undoubtedly follow such move
ment, but what about other policies?
Our complex and varied interests do
not hinge on any one individual issue,
and the solution of any one problem
would not prove general panacea. The
Populist party is battling for reforms
all along the line. There is not a SUI
perfluous plank in its platform. In
stead of breaking ranks and joining
the disgruntled elements of the two
old parties on any particular issue
every man of us should stand as firm
as the sturdy oak, welcoming all who
desert other standards and keeping our
guns pointed at the common enemy.
We cannot afford to sacrifice our party.
We stand on the threshold of sweep
ing victory. Every day adds to our
are rallying to our principles. The
only reverses that we have ever met
were at voting precincts where illegal
ballots constituted majorities and the
voice of the people was suppressed.
At every voting place where the sane
tity of the ballot box has been regard
ed our party has registered pronounced
gains. The very fact that the financial
plank in our platform is deemed of
sufficient Importance to be championed
as separate and distinct issue, should
be encouraging to us in the extreme.
If one of our demands appeals so
strongly for support that it disrupts
both the democratic and republican
parties, it is pretty evident that we
are making an impression. If we were
to abandon our entertainments, how
ever, and join the deserters we would
simply assist them to escape. The idea
is, therefore, to capture them while
they are hors du combat.
