SOLDIER SANITARIUM.
Grand Army Urged to Make One of
Castle Pinckney.

Atlanta, Aug. 25.-The delegates from
the department of Georgia to the en-
campment of the G. A. r. at Buffalo,
will have the honor of bringing before
that body important matter-name-
ly, the project of converting Castle
Pickney in Charleston harbor, into a
sanitarium for the disabled soldiers
and sailors of the union. The scheme
will be presented by a delegation from
Maj. Robert Anderson post No. Z, G.
A. r. of Charleston.
The object is to create a worthy
memorial to the hero of Fort Sumter,
in addition to providing an ideal rest
ing place for disa abled veterans. The
plan for a national Sanitarium at
Charleston originated with the late
Gen. w. B. Hazen, who died before
finding opportunity to elaborate it.
Recently it was taken up by A c.
kaufman, a Charleston philanthropist
and has since been pushed vigorously.
Bills to provide for the erection We're
introduced in both the senate and house
of representatives last year, accompa-
MED by a petition, signed by the state
officials, the judiciary and the chief
citizens of South Carolina, showing the
non-partisan and non-sectional char
acter of the movement. The project
has been also indorsed by Gen. Clark
son, Bishop Newman, Mrs. Grant, Mrs.
Logan and other prominent men and
women in G.. A. r. circles, and the pro-
jectOrS of the enterprise feel sure of
the official approval of the C. A r.
With that secured. they are confident
of a government appropriation.

CLOSE OF THE CENTURY.

There has long existed a well ground
ed superstition that the end of each CEN
tury is destined to be fraught with un-
usual stirring and epoch making
events When and where this tradition
originated it is impossible to tell. 1t has
probably grown up gradually as the re-
suit of circumstances which seem TO
justify it. If a believer in the theory
that history repeats itself one can find
ample justification for the opinion that
the present century will prove no ex-
ception. In fact the evidences have
already begun to appear and are null
tiplying. Almost absolute and univer-
sal peace had prevailed in the world for
a quarter of a century previous to the
outbreak of the war between China and
Japan. Since that time war has exist
ed between Greece and Turkey-a war
which may yet involve all Europe. A
settlement of the socaIled eastern ques-
ton seems no nearer than it was three
months ago.
Within this, the last decade of the cen
tury, war has prepvailed in Cuba, in the
Philippine islands, in South Africa, in
India and in Brazil. India has been
visited by what will probably take
their place in history when the whole
truth is known, as the greatest famine
and the most disastrous pestilence the
world has known. She at present seems
liable also to the greatest war in her
history. The country is ripe for revolt
and the rebels have a good start.
There are indications on every hand
that the traditional epoch making per-
Iod of the end of the century has set in
with two and a half years yet interven-
ing before the close. When it is con-
sidered how much can happen in thirty
months in this age of rapid communi-
cation and wonderful invention the pos
sibilities are appalling in their magni-
tude.
What thrones may topp1e to fall and
what changes the map of the world
may undergo none can guess. Even
America is not wholly free from possi-
BILE upheavelS.

NIAGARA FALLS OF WINE.
California Planning a Unique Feature
for the Omaha Expos ton.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 25.-The indica
tions are favorab BILE for an exhibition by
the California winemakers which will
form an interesting and attractive fea-
ture of the exposition. 1t will take the
form of a reproduction of Niagara falls,
the water being represented by the nat
ural juice of the grape and the rocks of
the original being reproduced in glass.
The scheme contemplates large ex-
hibit involving the use of 100000 gal
Ions of California red wine to represent
the foaming, dashing water.
The precipice over which the wine is
precipitated will be formed of glass,
through which electric lights will shed
light intensifying the warm color of
the wine and the grottoes and caves
along the banks will also be of glass.
These caves will be large enough to
contain several people and will be elab-
orately decorated with California fau-
ma and furnished with cool retreats
wherein visitors may rest and partake
of the fruits and wines of California
while listening to the thunder of the
cataract. Along the rocky banks
about the cataract will be growing Cit
ron trees in full bearing.

BELLAMY ON TRUSTS.
Takes Issue With Ex-Governor Flow

view with Mr. Flower and those, opposed
A local newspaper publishes interviews
with Edward BelIamy and ]. De Witt
Warner, who hold opinions different from
Mr.. Flower, and also a talk with the ex-
governor in defense of his remarks, Ed
ward Bellamy says:
Socialists should be well pleased with
the attitude of Governor Flower and the
newspapers which support him as an ad-
vocate of the trusts. This attitude
amounts to the definite abandonment of
the competitive system of industry and
to an admission that it is no longer possi-
BILE desirable to maintain it, This is
half the cause of socialism. It being adj
mitted that the competitive system is dead
or dying and cannot be revived and must
be succeeded by system of combination,
the question that remains is, what sort
of a system of combination the coming
one shall be, whether it shan-be sys-
tenn like that of the trusts, established
and conducted in the sole interest of
small number of individuals at the ex-
pense of the people, or a system organ
lied by the people collectively in the gem
eral interest. When the issue shall be
placed clearly before the American people
few will question what their choice will

Ex-Governor Flower says:
1.-The labor combination is a labor trust.
and in it is the strength of the wage
Garner. Labor unions have raised the
price of labor, have bettered the condition
of workingmen, and have imbued them
with that independence which is the basis
of American institutions. What working
men need are more labor unions-more
labor trusts, if you wish to call them
such, and combinations standing as solid

already, and they can do more
This is age of concentration and
combination. Let workingmen take ad-
vantage of it. Let unions that exist
amalgamate. and let new unions be form

deal fairly with those who employ, just
as trusts deal fairly with customers.

have been formulated it is reasonably
certain that the platform of the Demo-

light, if at all, with national issues, but
will confine itself almost wholly to dec

The chief of these will be the increas-
ed local tax rate. the, Raines law, the
levying by the legislature of enormous
taxes for state purposes upon the city
of New York, the deprivation by the
Republicans of home rule for munich
palities and matters of kindred sort.
The sQuabbles in the various munich
pal boards will be referred to, particu-
lar attention being paid to the police
board, which will be charged with be-
ing anything but a reform board. Ref
erence will also be had to the selection
of nonresidents of New York for inn

Stamford, N. Y, Aug. 25.-The daring

steep ascent made pedalling difficult
and she and Van GraVeneSs had aIght-

their wheels with them to the summit
and then ride them down. Van Grave

it was taking their lives in their hands
to ride their wheels down the steep
mountain roadway. When she laughed
at him and taunted him With being cow

Some time was spent on the summit
and then, with brakes on, the pair

a frightful momentum the tire on Miss

He had offices in the New York Life

wheels belonging to the lawyers of that

kept could be entered. Now it is ex-

He became so bold that Saturday he
took seven high-grade wheels from the
room, pawned two of them in Omaha
and shipped the others TO Chicago auc-
tion dealers. The same day he forged
a prominent business mans name to
a 5000 check and got it cashed. He was

AFTER THE SHEEP MEN.
An Idaho Assessor Who Will Camp
Out on the Ranges.

Pocate1lo, Idaho, Aug. 25.-Assessor
Thatcher left this morning for the Car
iboo county. This is the greatest summer
sheep range in Idaho. 1t is partly in
Bancock and partly in Bingham coun-
ties and extends over into Wyoming.
Here the f1ockmasterS are playing hide
and-Seek with the county assessors.
Under the present laws of Idaho, sheep
are asseSsable in each county for the
length of time they are ranged there,
and when an assessor comes along the
sheep owners are just trailing their
herds into the next county or the next
state. In the next county or across the
state line they tell the next assessor the
same story and hope in that way to es-
cape taxa ton.
Assessor Thacher will camp along the
Bingham county line for the next few
weeks and the assessor of Bingham
county, it is said, will be there, too,
and between them they expect to find a
goodly number of the four or five hum
dred thousand sheep known to be eat
ing the grass on the Idaho end of the
CariboO range.

ATcH1soN's CORN CARNIVAL.

The Atchison Corn Carnival is going
to take place on Thursday, September
%, three days before the Topeka Fall
Festival. 1t will be as enjoyable event
as ever, and Topeka people ought to go
over and take part in it. Doubtless
many of them will. The Atchison peo-
pie attend the Fall Festival generously
and we should reciprocate. Topeka is
largely represented at every holiday
event in the state. over so Topeka Ia
dies attended the Social Federation
meeting at Hutchinson. More than 500
Topeka people were at Ottawa's Chau-
tauqua; 600 people from Topeka attend
ed the races at Holton; our folks are
always present at state bicycle meets,
tennis tournaments, etc. Topeka peo-
pie are great visitors, and they like to
have the compliment returned. A thou
sand Topekans should go over to Atch-
ison on Corn Carnival day. Why
should not the Karnival knights go in
a body, with the understanding that
all the Atchison young men and their
girls shall come over to Topeka Octo-
ber 1, masked, and attend the Carnival
ball?
