Matches made in Sweden are now
selling in our markets for five cents per
box Of 500 matches. Their quality is
good and the box is far stronger than
American boxes of the same size. It
seems almost incredible that they can be
made in Sweden and imported here to
sell at that price, but the box itself
affords the superior damproof
quality Our Tariff on matches should
be prohibitory.

Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev. Irl r. Hicks
by those who do not understand
the facts, there is no denying the
truth that his paper and Almanac
have come to stay. His splendid
journal, Word and Works, is now
entering its tenth year, largely in
creased in circulation and in every
way improved, until it deserves
the national reputation it has at
tanned. His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by far the finest and
most beautiful he has yet issued.
It contains l08 pages, including
cover artistically printed in colors,
and is filled from back to back with
just what is wanted in every shop
Office, and home in AMERICA. One
feature of the Almanac for 1897 is
a series l2 original, beautifully en-
graved star maps, with explanatory
chapters, which could not be bought
for less than five dollars in any
work on astronomy. AS Mr.. Hicks
has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public Of coming
droughts, foods, cold waves, biz
yards, tornadoes, and cyclones, in
the years passed, aside from the
other varied and splendid features
OF his paper and Almanac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once
tor 1897. The Almanac is only 25
cts. a copy. Word and Works is
one dollar a year, and copy Of
the fine Almanac goes as prem
lnn with every yearly subscription.

ROCKEFELLER'S CLOCK.
He VIII Have One of Flowers at
Tarrytown.


New York, May 4-John D. Rockefel-
Ter, according TO reports, is to have an
extraordinary floral novelty on the
grounds of his country seat on the Hud-
son. near TarrytOWn-a clock made
entirely of growing flowers, which will
tell the time of day with much accura-
cy.
The floral clock is the suggestion of
Mrs. Rockefeller. who has for many
years been an earnest student of flor
iculture. 1t is said that before she was
married to Mr.. Rockefeller and while he
was yet a bookkeeper, she was teacher
of botany.
There has never been a floral clock
planted in this country, but the Baron
ess Burdett-Coutts had one and SO did
the Duke of Westminster. The one that
is expected will be seen up the Ameri-
can Rhine will be of home design and
the flowers used will be for the most
part those that grow wild about Tar
rytOWn.

MUST TURN MAYER LOOSE.
United States Makes a Peremptory
Demand on Germany.

New York May "A dispatch from
Washington to the Herald says:
The latest citizenship question which
has arisen between this government
and Germany has resulted in the issu-
ance of instructions by the state de-
partment to Ambassador Uhl, directing
him to make a demand for the imme-
date release of an American citizen
named Mayer, who, the authorities con-
slider, has been wrongfully imprisoned
in the military service of the German
government
New and important issue has been
raised in this case. Mayer was born in
this country of a German subject the
latter, although living here for some
years failing to take naturalization pa
pers.
When the child was II or II years old,
his parents returned to their native
land. Mayer attended German schools,
and when he reached the age of q he
was informed that he must enter the
German army. Mayer refused to enlist
OIL the ground that he was an Ameri-
can citizen. The case was brought to
the attention of the American ambas-
sador who forwarded the papers to
Washington for the state departments
consideration.

BRICKS FOR SOUVENIRS.
A Great and dissatisfied Demand For
Bricks From Grants Tomb

New York, May 4.-Callers at the city
nall In search of bricks from the tempor-
airy tomb of General Grant have gone
away disappointed. Two cart loads of
these bricks had been brought to the
city hall Saturday night and stored away
under lock and key in one of the old cells
in the basement. None of the callers got
any of the bricks for the reason that the
mayor has them for specified purpose.
Some time ago" said he, I received
a request from Grand Army post in Illi-
nois for some of the bricks to be kept as
sovenirs. Since that time 1 have received
similar requests from Grand Army posts
all over the country. They each want a
brick at least a memento.
When l was at the tomb q week ago.
asked Contractor Brady to send me I 900
of the bricks. He has done so and they
are now down stairs. The city owns the
bricks, and for that reason, I will lay the
question of their disposition before the
board of estimate and after permission is
granted l will cause the bricks to be sent
to the Grand Army posts. 1 think that is
a very proper and appropriate use to
make of Them

Once each year for the past four
years the Topeka lodge of Elks have
entertained Topeka people in as many
different ways as years, and on each
occasion their arduous labors in per-
fecting an p-to-date performance was
repaid by a splendid audience. The
burlesque of the opera "Billee Taylor, :"
to be presented at the Grand tomorrow
and Thursday evenings will be no ex-
ception to this rule. The sale of seats
opened well this morning, and the Elks
are sure of a good audience at both
performances.
While the scenery used in "Billee
Taylor may not be quite as magnifi-
cent as that of Margaret Mather's
Cymbeline, and the costumes may pos
sibly not be as elaborate as those of
the Mandarin, yet the grace of the
members of the talented troupe are
warranted to be of such a high degree
as to shut out all consideration of eth
er costumes or scenery, not to mention
the delightful solos, duets, Quartettes,
sextettes, and chorus songs which will
occupy a considerable space in the per-
