PACKING AND PRAYING.-A certain
clergyman gave it out from the pulpit
one night that he had received call
to a wider sphere of usefulness in a
larger town (and presumably larger
stipend) He could not, he said, make
up his mind, but was going to take
some time to think of it and pray for
guidance. A fortnight later one of the
congregation met the pastors eldest
son, and asked if his father was going
to B.
"Well," said Johnny (aged 49, "pa
is still praying for guidance, but most
of the things is packed"

Vile ?" asked the stranger, of a lank
North Carolinian who sat on the ver-
anda holding up the front side of the
house. "Twicet as fur as yo' kin hol-
ler an as fur as yo' kin see beyond
thet." "But I'm consumptive, and
can't holler at ALL" urged the traveller.
"How am 1 to tell anything from such
a direction as that ?" "Two boots an
a look, l reck'n," was the laconic re-
ply. "Well, how far is that ?'queried
the stranger, impatiently. "Better
look twicet, and not holler at all" was
the answer. "Gourdyille aint wuth
hollerin' about nohow."

WILL TALK A MONTH.
Democrats Think That is About
Right for the Tariff Bill

Washington, May 22.-The Repubi-
can senators will hold caucus Monday
to consider the tariff bill. The first eff
fort will be to devise plans to expedite
the consideration of the BILL and there
will also be an attempt to reconcile the
differences of opinion as to the merits
of some features.
The principal object of the caucus,
however, is to agree upon a plan for
the limitation for the time of debate
and under the present rules this can
only be done by mutual consent. What
the tariff leaders viii first attempt is to
secure an agreement among Republican
senators to restrain any desire they
may have for general speeches and
thus throw the responsibility for delay
upon the opposition.
SO far as agreed upon the programme
is to have Senator Aldrich make his
statement on Monday or Tuesday of
next week and to follow this by imme-
diately taking up the schedules
The Democrats will also hold eau
Gus soon to decide upon a line of action,
especially upon the subject of amend
ments A Democratic member of the
finance committee expressed the Opin-
ion today that a month would be sufE-
cfent time to deliberate.

yer, why not promptly determine upon
it? If it is the intention that nothing
shall be done on the silver question and
we are to stand exactly where we are,
it were far better to say so frankly and
at one and not drift or Shilly-shally.
I'VE want something or nothing, and
that very quickly. il the country is to
start forward on its promised career Of
prosperity.
What 1 have been saying is the kind
of talk a merchant hears in his daily
contact with the business world and
with people," said Mr.. Wanamaker. 1T
is possible that cabinet officers and con-
gressmen who are not facing hundreds
and thousands of unemployed week
after week may not have all the facts
before them quite so clearly.
What the people want is the prom
ised action with as little delay as pos
sible. The drain and strain are too
great to be borne any longer than is
imperatively necessary. I grant that
it may appear like impatience, cOnsid-
erine how brief the time is since in
auguration, but the country is in no
mood to be tri1ed with now by
dawdIing senate. Having had the prom
ises of thousands of public speakers

disaster the people will charge US with
treachery if we are silent or sleeping,

reach"

ROF.HARPER LOOKS FIRST
he is the First to Try the Great
Yerkes' Telescope.

Williams Bay, Wis, May 22.-The first
glimpse of the starry heavens through
the worlds greatest lens was given to
President Harper of the Chicago uni
versity and a party of representative
Chicagoans at the Yerl1es Observable
ry. Director Hale and Prof. Barnard
We're the hosts.
The visitors were shown the two mo-
tions of the telescope; the clock was set
in motion, the lifting fiOOr came up
with a motion almost imperceptible,
the great dome revolved, and the tele-
scope was turned on Jupiter. Director
Hale then got the star in the field of the
finder, and President Harper was the
first of the visitors to look at the plan
ct through the Chicago university's ;
great glass.
Jupiter is SOC. 900. 600 miles distant
from the earth, roughly estimated, and
the Yerkes' telescope brings it to less
than million miles distant. The night
seemed an ideal one for observation
The sky was clOudless, but. owing to
the atmospheric disturbances of the day
before and the fall in temperature, the
seeing was pronounced by the as
tronOmerS only fair.

AFLOOD OF BRANDY.
A Pure Food Inspector Starts in to
Destroy 115 Barrels of an Adul-
terated Article.

San Francisco, May 22.-Chief Food
Inspector Dockery and the United
States government, represented by Col
lector of the Port Wise, United States
District attorney FOote and Marshal
Barry Baldwin, came into collision last
night This clash of authority occurred
in the freight yards of the Southern
Pacific company It was the outcome
of Dockery's attempt in the interest of
pure food and the good name OF one
of the most iTnportant industries OF
California, to prevent the shipment OF
115 barrels of adulterated brandy to
London.
The inspector located the consign-
ment on the cars and bored holes in
three of the barrels, allowing the
brandy to escape. Before he could de-
strov the rest w. J. Hardy, local
F. Gerald, foreman of the freight sheds,
laid violent hands on him. The railroad
men telephoned to the police station
and in response Sergeant Donovan and
a posse went to the yards. They re
fused to interfere with DOckery. As
Hardy and Gerald continued to pro
test. the inspector arrested them for IN
terfering with an officer in discharge
Of his duty. They were released on
their own recognizance.
During DOckery'S absence from the
freight ward the consignment of brandy
was switched from its original location
and when he returned he could not ma
if The railroad people sent for col
iectoI wise and Marshal Baldwin When
they arrived they had conference ana
it was agreed to do nothing more in the
matter until today. DOckery says he
acted under the pure food laws.

Gov. Osborn is for the Proposed
Santa Fe Celebration.
Says a Great Deal of Good Will
Come From It.
GOV.OSBORN BELIEVES
That President Ripley Will
Give His Sanction
To the Jubilee of the Roads
25th Anniversary.

If all of the Santa Fe officials think
as does Ex-Governor Thomas A. Os-
born, who is a Santa F'e director, the
Santa Fe anniversary celebration dur
ing the Fall Festival can be carried
out on a grand scale. Governor Osborn
thinks the idea of a celebration a splen-
did one, and is heartily in favor of see
ing it carried out.
Undoubtedly all that is needed for
the success of the celebration scheme
is the cooperation of all the Santa F'e
officials. Since first suggested in the
State Journal, the proposed celebration
has formed one of the chief topics of
conversation among the employees of
this city, and also all along the line,
and as 81 whole they are anxious to see
it carried out
Governor Osborn believes that Presi-
dent Ripley Will favor the scheme, and
if President Ripley once gives his sane
tiOn and pledges his cooperation, the
anniversary celebration is an assured
success. I have not seen Mr.. Ripley
to talk to him about the matter, said
Governor Osborn. but l think he will
favor such a celebration. There is no
injury 10 be done by carrying the sug-
gestiOn out. and a great deal of good
viii probably come from it.
In my opinion" continued Governor
Osborn. such celebration would
bring the road and its employees in
closer contact. 1t would stir up a great
deal OF interest in the Santa F'e rail-
way. and would be a good thing for
the state. I see no reason why the
scheme should not be carried out. Let
the Santa F'e employees come to Topeka
and participate in the festivities OfFes-
tival week. They would enjoy it, and
the road would lose nothing by it."
Governor Osborn is a member of the
board of directors of the Santa F'e,
and is the second member of that board
to favor the proposed celebration.
Charles S. Gleed was the first Santa
Fe director to applaud the idea, and he
is willing to lend his personal aid in ar
ranging that feature of the Fall Festi-
val Governor Osborn and Mr.. Gleed
are two of the representative men of
the state, and with such men in favor
of an anniversary celebration it needs
but the support of the officers of the
company to make it one of the biggest
events in the history of Kansas.

s1LvER's RAPID DECLINE
Since Japan Adopted Gold Standard
It Has Become a Drug on
the Market.

New York, May 22.-The Journal this
morning says:
Silver bullion has just sold at go
cents an ounce, the lowest point it has
ever touched, except for a short period
in 1894, when it sold for 5S cents per
ounce.
The steady decline of silver is at
tracing considerable attention abroad.
Paris has been fairly flooded with
South American dollars, which have
been sold on the side as low as francs
% centimes for the dollar. Prices OF
silver in the Indian baZars have fallen
to IS rupees, the lowest price on record.
The exchange between London and
Shanghai has also fallen to almost the
lowest, and even at a low rate emma
does not absorb a large quantity of sill
yer.
Dating from the declaration by Japan
of its intention to abandon the use OF
upon q. gold basis. the price of the white
metal has been steadily declining.
