LIE DREW THE LINE.

If the Wayfarer has not been mlsin-
formed, there is an employe of the VIII
mington. City Railway Company, sta
toned at or near ShellpOt Park, who
was recently subjected to a rather pro-
nounced practical joke. He likes al
most anything for dinner. but there are
things at which he draws the line.
He was eating his luncheon when
one OF his cC,elaues handed him a
package. 1t was neatly wrapped, and
not very large. His curiosity got the
better of his appetite and he immediate
ly removed the wrapper Of the package.
Then his eyes rested on a dainty box.
Wondering if some unknown admirer
had sent him candied fruit or some
other delioacy, he raised the lid Out
glided a water snake, full of fright, but
ready to fight The railway man gave a
yell and a jump, and then raised his
fist TO high heaven and swOre that ne
could lick the man who shocked his
nerves and spoiled his luncheon. No
body responded.

HER FIRST CHURCH GOING.
There was once a little girl who was
an only child Her devoted mother,
whom the Wayfarer knows, scarcely
ever let her out Of her sight, and, the
former being a confirmed theatre-goer,
the little girl naturally acquired the
atrical tastes and her criticismsof plays
were worthy Of much older heads.
One day her mother took her to a
rtualistic church. When she returned
home her father asked her how she en-
joyed Il.
"Why papa" she exclaimed, indig-
nantly. "I didn't like It at all. The show

inc immense armies of men taken out
of the industrial pursuits they nave
weakened their power of production
and added largely to con nsuming class
in no way productive. In the war OF
tariffs and commerce it appears that
by reason of this very condition the
United States has considerable ad-
vantage over her European compet-
itors, enabling higher rate OF wages
to be maintained here, though the
ratio of rroductiveness is greater.
The abolishment of the conscript
system in Europe and the return OF a
part of the population to the produc-
tive occupation may, however, have
very material effect upon the
interests of this country. Every
man released from the military service
of Europe would become a recruit
to the industrial army which is to tly mt
in the bloodless battle between the Old
and the new world. 1t is foreseen that
by the establishment of a truce be-
tween themselves, the powers OF
Europe are preparing for the war OF
trade and commerce which they re-
gard as imminent with this country.

in the sense that they are main ta;ned
in Europe, and all that this govern
ment is likely to do in the way of add
ing to its military and naval strength
would not be of character nor to an
extent which would anta-onize the
principle involved in the czar's propo-
sition for disarmament
That policy is one which this gov
ernment has maintained at all times
and the suggestion of the czar applies
only to the European powers, which
have been expending great sums OF
money in aruiing themselves, one
against another 1t is regarded as
peculiarly significant AMI eucourag-
ing that this suggestion to call halt
in the tremendous waste of treasury in
warlike preparations which involved a
burden upon the whole of Europe
should come from Russia just at the mo
ment when the whole world was alert
with the idea that an immediate rup-
ture was imminent between that gov.
errr.nt and England, and al time
when the Chinese question seems va
guely to threaten the peace of the
whole world.
1t is felt at Washington in Govern
ment and political circles that the re-
cent achievements of this country are
probably in no slight degree respon 81
BILE for this proposition to suddenly re-
verse the policies of the old, world. 1t
is thought that our naval exploits
have demonstrated to the OLD world
that all the immense treasure the sew
eral powers have expended would not
insure any one of them absolute immu-
nifty, should the continuance, of war
preparations finally lead to general
disturbance of peace, and moreover,
| that if this government should be
drawn into the general contention
and attempt to rival the powers ot
Europe in it's armament it would in
volve upon nearly every power OF Eu
rope an almost eXhausting draft upor
its resources, already heavily taxed, t.
maintain that relation OF armamen
toward the United States which woulC
be deemed imperative.
Another thing which has attracted
the attention Of the political econ
omists Of Europe is that by maintain

WASHINGTON, Aug. c9. The state de-
partment has not yet been notified of
the communication from the Russian
govern ment to the foreign representa-
tives at ST. Petersburg, looking to a
universal preservation of peace and
the gradual disarmament of Europe.
This country is not directly interested
in the proposition of disarmament,
but, as it is understood that the COM
munication was addressed to all for
eign representatives in st. Peters
burg, it will in due time be received
by this government.
Though at this moment just con-
cluding war in which victory has
been attained by force of arms, the
sentiment of this government is
strongly in sympathy with any move
ment looking towards the abolition of
warfare and our sympathies will be
with the suggestion emanating from
the czar.
This government is now about on
the point of adding greatly to its naval
establishment and somewhat, on ac-
count of acquisition of territory, to its
military, but we have never had the
