IS AIMED AT HUMBERT KING OF ITALY.
The King Was on His Way to the Race
Course
His Assntlant W.s a. Workingman Out Of Em.
PIOymcnt.

ROME, April 22.-An attempt was made to-
day to assassnate the king of Italy.
At 2:3o this afternoon, while King Humbert
was Oh his way to the races, a man named Pie
tro Acciarto, an iron worker out of employment
attempted TO stab his ma jesty with dagger.
The man was seized before he could carry out
his purpose and the king proceeded to the Cam
panelle race course, seemingly unmovcd.
On arriving at the race course his majesty
was greatly cheered.
Acciarito appears to be political fanatic.
He says he has no accomplices. -Cablegram
OF course, Acciarito was 'poitical fanatic" 5"
All laborng men, especially when out of work,
are "fanatcs" Just think of the brute inter
fering with the KING when OH his way to the
horse race! How could the horse race come
off without his majesty's presence? And sup
pose the horse race had not come off at all:
what a calamity that would have been! What
blessed thing it is to know that the King
was seemingly unmoved." There is nothing
like having king who can keep cool. Such
"political fanatics" as the italian laborer Acct
arito ought TO come to this country and take
dose of g. o. p. confidence" and mount our
"wavc of prosperity" and he would soon be
king himself. Then all he would need to make
him great would BE- horse race. 1.-The could
not get that, he might compromise OH human
race, to keep from starving. Millions of our
laboring men are running a race of that kind.
Some have won, and some have lost. The G.
o. p, like King Humbert, is unmoved.

HOW PROSPERITY GETS HERE.

Bradstreet reports last week: "The change
in conditions underlying general trade, while
slight this week, has been in the direction OF
improvement"
The paragraphs immediatly following show
how much truth is in the assertion
'"The depression in steel continues and Bes-
semer pig and steel billets have reached ano' her
IS cents per tom"
"The outlook favors an increase in labor dis
turbances to resist midsummer wages reduction.
"The bitumnous coa-mining industry is
worse than the anthracite, with rumors of
of strikes which promise to have all unfavor-
able influence on other than the iron and steel
industries.
"Tradc iii wool is quieter.
ssThere is less life in wholesale dry goods
trade.
"The tendency toward more settled weather
has stimulated retail demand III the northwest
"The general tendency of the Mississippi
flood to subside has created better feeling.
Country roadways have begun to improve.
"The only large cities reporting an increase
in the movement of merchandise are st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Kansas City. AT
almost all other large centers there has been 10
material gain in industsial or commercial lines"
This is equivalent to saying prosperity is
here, as expected, but everybody continues OIL
the old goldstandard, downward trend of prices.
GA rose by any other name would smell as
sweet" Hard times by any other name are
just as hard to bear, aud a lie is still lie,
though called a TRUTH.

During the political contests last summer, no
newspapers that | saw denounced the "socia-
istic vagaries' of the Chicago platform more
bitterly or waged more relentless and vindictive
warfare upon Mr.. Bryan and all he stood for,
than did Leslie's Weekly, of New York City.
The sensations with which read the following
extract from a leading editorial on department
Stores and Politics" in this weeks issue of that
paper are very much like those the early
Christian experienced when he heard that Saul
also was among the Prophets. Listen to it:
Our own idea is that these anti-socalisic
''trusts' and department stores are the result Of
an intermediate condition which might be called
semisocialistic. This sounds paradoxical, but
it seems to be certain as the fact that the
pendulum which swings to the right is sure to
swing back to the left. Our idea is that great
cooperative stores will take the place of the de-
partment stores before another generation
reaches maturity and that perhaps in future
alttle more remote some sharing system will be
devised by which the mill hands of the country
will receive their wages in division of the
profits.
Beginning to get its eyes open, you see.
when it comprehends the social evolution, it
will perceive there is nothing paradoxcal, in
the conditions of which it speaks. Co-opera-
ton for private profit is bound to blaze the way
to co-ope ration for the benefit of ALL The So
cialism we enjoy now in the shape OF free high
ways and free schools is bound to develope into
socialism where every manufacturing, pro-
ducing and distributing industry WILDE public
property The combinations of manufacturers,
producers and distributors which make trusts
and traffic associations now show how easv it
will be for the whole people to cooperate on
those lines. Star and Kansan.

The Fatal Defect in Trusts.

In general it may be said that
every genuine trust has a fatal de-
feet in its organization. 1t is bound
to perish through its own greed. II
it could forego the temptation of
excessive profits it might indeed
survive; but it is not the nature Of
a monopoly to he content with
moderate gains. Consumption is
checked or competition is invited,
and in either case the.rats abandon
the sinking ship. Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller is on record as saying
that no trust can be successfully
maintained if the raw material is
very expensive, or if the plant it
requires is costly and takes a year
or two to build. The rail trust
seemed to fulfill both these require
ments, but it has fallen. The sugar
trust has been managed with more
moderation than most people give
it credit for, but it is only ques-
ton of time when there will be so
many refneries that they can not
be held in one agreement. The
Standard Oil Company is managed
by the greatest genius for combina-
ton that this day has produced,
and as it is able to control the
sources of supply its continued ex-
istence may be the exception which
proves the rule. Of no other which
is worth the attention of capital can
this be said.

A Broad Assertion.

In 1893 Chauncey Depew was
quoted as saying: There are fifty
men in New York who can in twen-
ty-four hours stop every wheel on
all railroads, close every door Of our
manufactures, lock every switch on
all telegraph lines, and shut down
every coal and iron mine in the
United States. They can do so be-
cause they control all the money
which this country produces"
"This," says another prominent
New Yorker, lis as true to day as it
was then, except that the number
has been reduced to twenty FIVE"
The statement on both sides is prob
ably huge exaggeration, but it
implies the existence Of money
power which is reality, and which
has much to do with the too violent
ebb and flow Of national prosperity.
1t also illustrates the fact that gold
mining is the one form of metal
production unaffected by the usual
law of competition and business
rivalry, thus standing unique
among the business industries of the
world.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22-The
United States Fish Commission just
now is investigating the subject Of
frog farming. 1t is believed that
there ought to be money in the bus
mess, considering the large demand
for the hind legs at high prices
The principal market for them is in
New York City, where they are
gathered from all parts of the coun-
trv, Fulton Market alone selling
from $4,000 to 100000 pounds ain
nually Notwithstanding frequent
stories about successful frog farms
printed in the newspapers, the Fish
| Commission has not been able to
discover the existence of single
such plant in this country, though
there is one in operation at Bens-
ford. Ont, owned by man named
Wedlock. The frog crop at present
is wholly wild.
Missouri is the greatest frog pro
ducing state The town of Kennett
alone ships 10000 pounds Of dress
ed frog legs annually, and New Ma
drid is second with $4,000 pounds.
These figures are taken from the
books of the railroads. The swamp
Hands of Missouri and Arkansas are
the finest frog growing areas in the
world, the frogs found there being
the real bull species. They are
caught in all sorts of ways, some
with a hook and bit of red fan
mel, and others by spearing and
shooting. The frog season begins
about the middle of March and
lasts three months. At night men

provided with lamps and big re-
Electors. The light SO blinds the
frogs that the boat can be padded
right up to them, and they are read
ily speared. Exceptional specimens
weigh as much as 2 pounds apiece.
The experts of the Fish Commits
sion say that the plant required for
a frog farm is exceedingly simple
and cheap. Shallow ponds may be
found almost anywhere, and they

John CARRIER was walking along
Market street the other evening
when an old man shabbily dressed
and half intoxicated staggered d.
rectly in his way, seized him by the
lapel and as he wobbled about un-
steadily inquired:

"First rate, Joe" and the attorney
thrust a dollar in his hand.
"Why did you give that old hobo
money!" asked his company.

One day last week feeble old
man tottered into the chambers of
Chief Justice Beatty of the supreme
court. He had been two hours run
ming the gauntlet of clerks, janitors
and bailiffs who knew he was an
old nuisance and wanted to throw

"How are you judge?" was his
greeting.
First rate, Dick, how do you find
yourself?" replied the chief justice.

to have you look over some papers

he explained 70 colleague on the
bench who had been awaiting the

planting of bushes around the edges.
These serve as Il protection against
enemies to some extent, and have
the further advantage of attracting
insects. Frogs feed mainly on in
sects; the reason they bite at a bit
of red flannel is that they mistake
it for u gaudy red bug 1t is a good
idea to build a low board fence
around the pond in order to keep
out snakes and small mammals that
are fond of frogs The fence should
be close to the water, SO that birds
cannot stand on the inside of it and
pick up the pollywogs.
Mr.. Lucas, the osteologist of the
National Museum, says that the
frog is just about the most wonder
full animal in the world. It starts
in life as a vegetable eating fish,
with gills and a tail, and later on
turns into an air. breathing land
animal, developing teeth and becom-
ing carnivorous qnadruped.
Ordinarily only the hind legs of
the bull frogs are eaten, but in New
Orleans, and also in France and
Germany, the animal is served
whole quite commonly. Anybody
who has eaten frogs legs will testify
to their delicious flavor, which is
somewhat like that of tender spring
chicken, only more delicate. The
legs, after being skinned, should be
placed in fresh cold water. Next
they should be strained, dried and
put to soak for awhile in the white
of eggs, well beaten up. Finally
they must be powdered over with
-four and fried in plenty Of olive
oil until they are crisp and brown.
Add lemon, some red pepper, and
serve. Frog legs fetch ordinarily
about zoe pound, but extra big
legs are worth from 30c to 45c a
pound. They are considered best in
Autumn, just before the frogs go in
to the mud, and after they have
spent long season in fattening
| themselves.
