Mckinley is making no mistakes in the

, England has been reduced by about
$1,000, 600, 600. 1t has taken sixty years to
make that amount of reduction. but
nevertheless it is good showing, and no
nation on earth can equal it except the
United States.
There are people in Washington who
say that Mckinley threw open the
grounds of the White House to the public
simply to afford standing room for the
office seekers. but there is reason to be-

"A Turkish statesman is quoted as say

settle their differences peaceably if the
powers would let them alone, and there
is reason to believe he is right. Certainly

and help neither.
The New York Custom-house did a
rushing business in March and came near
breaking the record. 1t would do a big
business this month also If the House had
not enacted "a clause putting the new

was a surprise party to the importers and

The GIzch pyramid.

The great pyramid of Gizeh is the
largest structure of any kintl over erect
ed by the hand of m.gn. Its Original di-
mensions at the base were TG4 feet
square, and its perpendicular height in
the highest point is 4Ss feet; it covers
four ceres, one rood and twenty-five
perches of ground, and has been esti-
mated by an eminent English archi-
tect to have cost not less than e 10000
600, which in United States currency
would be about $1+5, 100000. Internal
evidences proved that the great pyra-
mid was begun about the yeGr 21TO d.
c., about the time of the birth Of Abra-
ham. 1t is estimated that about 5,000,-
coo tons of hewn stone were used in its
construction, and the evidence points TO
the fact that these stones were brought
n distance of about 700 miles from quar-
ries in Arabin.

ga Contentcd woman"

At the Auditorium tonight Charles
Hoyts most pronounced success, "a
Contented Woman" satire on the
woman in politics, will receive it's in.
itial presentation in this city. So
much has been written and said con-
cerning the phenomenal success of this
the funniest of all the Hoyt comedies,
it is not unnatural that theatregoers
look forward to the coming engage
ment with much pleasure and antici-
patton. The piece will come with the
endorsement of the New York press
where it enjoyed most prosperous
run. The cast is heraled as the strong
est that Mr.. Hoyt has ever organized
including as it does many favorites
who have frequently been seen in
other Of Hoyt's successes. Belle
Archer, formerly leading lady with
Nat c. Goodwin and whose wonderous
beauty has been the subject of song
and story, will be seen in the title role.
Music has been abundantly supplied
and the vaudeville portion of the pro-
gram is said to offer some things that
are strikingly novel and of sensa-
tional order. The early inquiry for
seats indicates one of the largest and
most fashionable audiences of the sea-
son.

COST OF GERMAN COLONIES
Too Ingh as Compared with Advnn-
tages Secured.

Too INgh as Compared with Advnn-
taEes Secured.
Germany can scarcely be considered
as successful in her efforts to secure
fame as a colonizing power, says the
New York Tribune. The estimated cost
Of colonies forthe coming year is fixed,
according TO the imperial budget, at
$4,000, GOO, in return for which she is
able to point to / sos colonistS all told,
of which number half ape soldiers and
officials. With regard to the trade,
Germany's exports to her colonies do
not amount TO 81 100000 per annum, SO
that from business point Of view the
undertaking can scarcely be considered
as profitable one. 1t is evident that
thefault lies with the German govern
ment rather than with the German
merchants. The latter thrive and pros
rer to a phenomenal degree in the
United States, and in all those English
colonies where initiative, enterprise and
commerce are not submitted to all the
veXatious and hampering restrictions
that seem to be inherent TO Germany S
notions of colonial administration.
