ADJUSTMENTS. A

There was nice audience at the
Oak Park New Pavilion last night. 1t
was not nearly so large as the merit
of the entertainment justified, but it
was an audience of representative
character. and of the best known men
and women of the city. Esta Odell,
the fourteen-year- Sacramento ath-
lete, made her second appearance. She
is a native daughter. and on Monday
night for the first time appeared in
public. She swings and turns in the
Grecian rings skillfully. Her perform
ance is really surprising for one so
young, and so new in the business.

St Louis Convention Went Wild Over

Washington, June 3.-Visitors at the

NOVEL BEER SALOONS.
A New York Man Will Sell From a
Jail and a Ship.

New York, June 3.-On the highest
point in the city of Newark and near
one of the entrances to the proposed
West Side park novel resort is being
created. Its chief attraction is q repro
ductiOn of NanSen's steamer Fran, four
feet longer than the original and rising
ten or twelve feet above the ground.
1t is built Of brick and sheathed with
planking When it is finished it Will
have masts, furled sails, rigging, a fun
mel, a big stern wheel and a pilot house.
1t is the intention of the owner to sell
beer and refreshments on the boat and
he thinks that it will be drawing at
traction. It will be backed up by high
board fence cut and painted in imita-
tion of icebergs. In the pilot house will
be figures representing the explorers
in costume.
In addition the owner is erecting a no
tel. and in the little park adjoining he
will build a log cabin and Jail in
which beer will be sold to voluntary
prisoners in their cells by walters uni
formed as turnkeys. He expects to have
the whole thing completed by the latter
part of July. The place is at the cor
ner of Sixteenth avenue and Eighteenth
street and the proprietor is Edward
Funke.

DTsPENsARY Law FAILS.

Senator TiIlman is asking the assist
ance of congress in enforcing the dis
pensary liquor law in South Carolina.
If in any mind there still remains a
lingering doubt that the war is over
and its results are acquiesced in by the
once rebelliOus brethren of the south,
that doubt should now be dispelled.
Time was when South Carolina prided
herself on her ability to manage her
own affairs and would have resented
any interference by congress. But
there were no interstate commerce laws
in those days.
The situation in South Carolina is
peculiar. The state has established a
monopoly of the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors. The dispensary law contem-
plates that no liquor shall be introduced
into the state except by the states
agents and that no liquor shall be sold
to consumers except by those legally
appointed for that purpose. All profits
from the traffic accrue to the state.
Liquor dealers both within and with
out as they always do, have steadily
sought some way of evading or nulli-
flying the law and obtaining for them
selves what profit there is in the busi-
ness. By the aid of the federal court
they seem to have finally hit upon
method
It is the same old dodge which was
tried in Kansas a, few years ago with
so poor success. The liquor is shipped
into the state and sold in the original
package. The state authorities seized
some Of this liquor and a suit was start
ed When the case reached the federal
court Judge Simonton, sitting for the
South Carolina district, held that the
right of manufacture carried with it
the right of sale ard that the interstate
commerce law permitted the sale wher-
ever a market could be found.
Now Senator TilIman, who is largely
responsible for the dispensary law and
is still its champion, wants congress
to amend the interstate commerce law
so as to enable South Carolina to shut
out any and all liquors except those
handled under state direction.
Putting the Kansas case and the
South Carolina case together, it seems
that the state may prohibit the sale of
LIQUOR either in original packages or
otherwise except for specific purposes,
but it may not itself create a monopoly
of the business to the exclusion of 9TH
er dealers So the dispensary law, like
most laws designed to regulate the
1iquor traffic, seems to have failed,
though with the aid of congress it may
yet be made to accomplish the purpose
for which it was designed.
In the meantime if the state were but
willing to forego its profits it might
keep the other fellows out by under
selling them No liquor dealer will do
business for fun or for his health.

CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Observer Jennings Reports
Good Prospects Al Over the State.

Weather Observer Jennings crop bun.
letin for the past week shows continued
good crop prospects all over the state
Corn has been somewhat retarded by
cool weather.
Following is a summary of the report:
A cool week, the temperature ranging
from to 10 degrees below normal, the
26th and 9th being the only warm days
for the week. The precipitation was
heaviest in the northeastern counties, ex-
ceeding four inches in the northern half
of Brown and Doniphan. In Greenwood,
the western half of Wilson and Woodson,
the southern half of Coffey it was less
than a quarter of an inch, and over the
western half of the state it was general
ly less than half an inch. except from
Harvey through Pratt to Clark, and from
the southwestern part of Trego to the
central portion of Thomas.
In the eastern division the cool weather
has been retarding corn but is favorable
to other crops. Much corn will be re-
planted in the northeastern counties. ow-
ing to various causes. Alfalfa and clover
are ready to harvest and the former is
being cut in many counties. Fruits, gar
dens, pastures and potatoes doing well.
Wheat is heading in the northern coun-
ties and nearly ready to harvest in the
southern.
In the middle division a fine growing
week, except too cool for corn. Wheat
much improved, and is beginning to head
in the more northern counties. Oats gen
orally reported short, heading in south.
Corn has a good color but generally
poor stand. Fruits, gardens, potatoes and
pastures growing finely. First alfalfa
crop is being put up this week.
In the western division wheat is head
ing in the central and southern counties
and is in excellent condition. Alfalfa, the
great money crop of this part of the
state. is yielding. its first crop of the
season, and a bountiful crop. too. Range
grass is very good and cattle in fine
condition. Rain is needed.

A STORY ABOUT PATTI

[From the Chicago Tribune.1
The late Max Maretzek used to tell
the following anecdote of Adelina Pat
ii: I remember once at the Howard
Athenaeum, Boston, Nine. BariH Patti,
the mother of the Patti sisters, sang
the part of Norma, with Amalia Patti
as Adelgisa and Adelina, then a little
child, as one of the children of Norma.
Adelina, always willful, insisted at re-
hearsal in singing the music of her
mother and sister in the duo Mira
Norma and when, after several warn
ings, she would still continue to sing, her
irascible mother took her up and gave
her a regular spanking before the eyes
of the assembled orchestra and mem
bers of the company. Now Adelina
Patti gets s4, 600 a night for singing in
stead of a spanl<ing-almost as great
a change of conditions as in the case
of Eliza Hensler. Adelina Patti made
her first appearance in public under my
direction in a concert at Tripler hall,
in February, 1852 She was then a child
of years, and at that early age not
only gave evidence OF her precOcity in
vocalizing, but also in making bar
gains The conditions on which she
agreed to sing there were hatful Of
candies, and she insisted on receiving 1t
before she went out to appear before
the public"

New York, June 3.-The new building
which is to be put up on the east side
as a monument to the generosity of the
Baroness de Hirsch promises to be not
only magnificent in appearance but the
perfection of construction and appli-
ances for the trade school which it will
house.
The work of the school has reached a
pitch of systematic development that
enables the boys on completing their
course to go straight to the workshop
with the assurance of the workman and
not as the amateur. The methods of
training might be defined as the science
of the practical. The boys progress
from preliminary work to work in class
es, or gangs" under a foreman. In
gas-ftting, carpentry, plumbing, wood
turning, house painting and sign paint
ing instruction is given.
The new school will provide accommo-
dation for 400 pupils. It will be five
stories high, of rectangular shape and
it is estimated will cost $50, 600. The
workshops will be on the upper floors.
The site under consideration is above

Philadelphia, June 3.-Sunday bicycle

has been used of God as one of the
great instruments in furthering our
prosperity. To prevent the increase of

MORE ANCIENT TREASURES
A Papyrus Book Containing a Col
lection of the Sayings Of Christ
Unearthed in Egypt.

New York, June "a special London
cable to the Sun says; A great find of
ancient papyri in Egypt has been made
by Grenfell and Hunt. who are work
ing in behalf Of the Egyptian ExplOra-
tiOn fund.
At Behneseh many ancient rubbish
mounds yielded a rich store. In three
mounds the quantity of rolls found is
large enough to warrant the assump-
ton that a part of the archives had
been thrown there.
The papyri range from the Roman
conquest to the early Arab times. Each
century is largely represented. Most
with a sprinkling of Latin, COptic and
Arabic. Little is yet known of the con-
tents, but GrenfelPs hope, in digging at
the site of OXyrynchus, of finding early
Christian documents is realized.
Among the papyri is a leaf from a
third century papyrus book containing
a collection of sayings of Christ. Some
of these sayings are not in the gospels
and other exhibit diVergences from the
text of the gospels. 1t is believed that
when the papyri are examined in de-
tail further discoveries of Christian
records, as well as fragments of lost
classical literature, will be found since
in some of the mounds a large proper
ton of the papyri are written in uncialS
which were largely employed during
the first few centuries of the Christian
era
One hundred and fifty rolls, in many
cases several feet long, have been re-
tained at the Gizeh Museum and the
rest are on the way to England.
Besides the papyri, a number of coins
200 inscribed titles bronze and ivory
ornaments, and other objects of the Ro-
man and Byzantine periods have been
recovered

New York, June 3.-The elevated roads
of Brooklyn will have to change their
motor power in a short time, as their
contract for operating trains across the
East River bridge calls for the use of
electricity. The old engines will have
to be replaced with the latest patented
devices for running cars with motors
The Brooklyn Railroad company has
been reOrganized, and the plans of the
company call for a change of power in
a short time. The Kings county eleva-
ted has not only decided to change the
power, but to accept the system of cleo
tric motors, which are being tested on
the elevated road in Chicago. Each
car win be equipped so that by the use
of push buttons the entire train will be
started, stopped and backed. It is said
that a high rate of speed will be at
tanned by this new system.
