THERE is now no doubt of il. When
conservative Democratic newspa per
like the New York journal of Com
merce says business is improving, no
body can doubt it, 1t has been saying
so steadily during the past month, and,
in an issue of few days ago, said;
The business conditions of the last
week we're, on the whole, quite favor
ble. There is no backward movement,
and there are many signs of progress,
especially in the growing spirit OF
cheerfulness.

Ancient ThermopyIne.

An officer of the English intelligence
department reports that III spite of the
fact. which is well known, that the sea
has receded since ancient times, the
strategical position Of this ancient pass
rs still immensely strong. The alter
native route by Deleghi, which crosses
the hills l1s miles north of the springs
by well-enginecred zigzags, is equally
capable of defense, and leads into d
country of most difficult character.
Either pass might be held indefinitely
by 5000 men. The coast road is alb
solutely commanded from the heights
go that comparatively small force
would render il impossible. while the
fiat lowland lying near the sea is
marshy and intersected by dykes.

ing practically accomplished the duties
for which it was called together, by
com pletion of tariff bill, will prob
ably adjourn very soon, unless the
President concludes to ask it 10 take
up the currency question. There are
many people who think that it would
be better TO give the country absolute
rest, and permit business TO adjust
itself TO the new tariff before taking
up the currency question, but Presi'
dent Mckinley will doubtless decide
this question wisely. as he does ali im-
portant public matters. OF course, If
the subject is not pressed for action at
the special session, it will be taken up
as soon as the regular session meets,

HIS NERVE WON FOR HIM.
This Young Mnn Captured His Girl
While His Rival Looked On.


while His Rival Looked On.
There is young man on the North
side who will make his mark if per-
sistence has anything to do with it.
He has gone the way of man, which
is the way of the love of maid, but
there is hated rival.
The maid in question is a devout
church-woman. There was a church
social recently, engineered by the
church which she attends. The young
man had made up his mind to escort the
fair one to the social, so he laid his plans
to wuylay her after Sunday evening
service and offer himself as escort. But
on Sunday evening his spirit was vexed
by a rumor that the hated rival was
bent upon precisely similar action, the
more so since the running between the
two suitors had been very hot, and the
young lady had given no sign of her
preference. So it was with disturbed
mind that the lover took up his posi-
ton at the church door and noted that
the hated rival was posted at the other.
for as the fair one sometimes used one
door and sometimes the other, it be-
came evident that the issue was TO be
left in the hands of fate.
Luck was against the North slider.
He endured the agony of seeing the
lady emerge from the other door and
walk calmly away with the hated one.
while he was left to wend his way home
ward enveloped in gloom.
whats up?" asked the roommate.
as the lover came in. Wouldn't she
have it that way?"
Game out at wrong door and went
off with that gorilla" said the man Of
gloom.
TOO bad said his roommate, and
conversation languished until the ST
lence was broken by the victim of cir
cumstances rising and making hur-
riedly for the door.
where are you off to?" yelled the
roommate, but the answer he got was:
Back directly" from halfway down
the staircase.
The roommate smoked and rumi-
mated for 25 minutes. at the expiration
of which time the lover returned ra-
dating geniality and eXultation.
what have you been up to now?"
asked the roommate.
Say, I'll tell you," said Romeo. Il
figured it out this way: / said: Now
that Indian will walk home with her,
and then he'll just sit in the parlor and
gas, and he'll have it all to himself, and
| won't be in any hurry, and it's even bet
ting that he won't spring the social
racket until he's ready to go home.
| So / just sailed around and rang the
bell, and it worked out the way I'd put
it up. She opened the door herself, and
said: oh, Mr.. Williams, glad to see
you; come right in. Mr.. Halliday is
here But l knew my business, and
said No, thank you; won't come in

said: Yes, that will do and tipped my
hat and came away"

BELL WEIGHING 90 TONS.
Over Twelve Feet High and Raised So
That u May De RunE.

For some time past there has been a
sort of deadheat between the two big
gest bells in the world, the one at the
cathedral in Moscow and the other in
the unfinished pagoda of Mengoon, a
little north of Mandalay, across the
river. Ii the former was the bigger of
the two. says the New York journal,
is was cracked, and, therefore, useless
as a bell, while the latter. though
whole, had dragged its supports down
till it rested on the ground, and would
not emit any sound. Now, however, it
has been rcswung, and can claim at
tention as the biggest bell, in working
order, in the world. 1t averages over
foot in thickness. The bell itself is
over 12 feet high, and the shacltle, which
was intended for logs of timber, about
12 feet. The pin in the shac<le has a
diameter of 16 inches. The bell was
cast about the beginning of the cen
fury by King Bodaw-paya as an ac-
compartment to the huge brick padoga
which he never finished. 1t is said to
have been cast on an island and RATED
across. No proper means yet exist for
striking the bell, but when hit with a
heavy piece of wood it gives a deep, vi
brating boom.
