Lieut.. Peary's daughter born in Green
land five years ago. can scarcely endure
a climate where the mercury rises above
70 degrees.
Gov. Tanner of Illinois was one of five
members of his family to serve in the civil
war, his father and three brothers en-
listing with him. The father and two or
his sons died during the progress of the
war. ST.
After many trials and tribulatons 1T
has been finally settled that Miss Eliza
beth Stephenson, daughter of the million
aire lumberman of Marinette, Wis, snail
christen the new battleship Wisconsin now
building in San Francisco Miss Stephen
son as considered a beauty and is six feet
tall.
On the assumption that Howard Gould
has forfeited IS 100000 because of his mar
riage-which alleged loss is an unproven
matter as yet-a statistical genius has
dashed off the following computation:
Mrs. Gould's weight is about 140 pounds
avoirdupois. This equals 170.139 pounds
troy. A troy pound of gold is worth $24S-
.064. Mrs. Gould's weight in gold is $42.-
205.S6. She is, therefore. worth 1888 plus
times her weight in gold on a basis of
100000.
Great writer's do not always use to-
bacco J. NJ. Barrie, for instance, has
written much in praise of tobacco, and
yet is himself a non-smoker. Iu-heaith is
at the root of his abstention. Barry Pain,
on the other hand invariably works with
a pipe in his mouth and the quantity of
tobacco that he gets through In a week
would last most men a fortnight. More
over, he prefers an ordinary pen to foun-
tain pen, for the reason that-as he him
self says-"an ordinary steel nib never
minds being used to clean out pipe bowl
and write an the better for it afterward"

idea of what you are going to talk about

Distinguished Lecturer-Certainly not.
am TO speak of the Dangers that Beset
the Republic" One of these dangers
conceive to be the concentration of wealth
in the hands of few men"
II am afraid that wouldn't be accepta-
bic to the men who got up this course of
lectures The wealthiest man in our lit
tie city is at the back of the enterprise
He and a few others built this hall and
pay all the expenses of keeping it in re-
pair. The receipts from entertainments
don't pay them half of l per cent on
their money. They will lose about $50 on
this lecture, for the house VIII be packed
with deadheads. The manager didn't
want you to talk to empty benches
Very well l can give it an impersonal
aspect by speaking of the trusts and COM
binations that are throttling the industries
of the"
Il don't believe that would go down
well, either. The principal industry of
this place is a big factory that wouldn't
be running at all If it wasn't a part of a
big combine Half of the audience will
be made up of operatives from that fac
tory, and they would be pretty certain
"Wen, l can drop that out of the lecture.
1 expect, however, to speak of the sensa-
tional character of the American press.
Many of our best-known papers, those that
give tone TO the journalism of the coun-
try, are VIGOROUSLY unfit to be the guides
of public opinion. They are corrupt and
coTrupting."
Il don think 1t would be safe TO say
anything of that kind. The editor of our
town paper is a little sensitive on what
they call yellow journalism Other edi-
tors, in fact, say he publishes the yellow
est journal in this part of the state. He
does an our printing at half rates and
adverlises our lectures for nothing. 1t
would look like giving him a back-handed
Slap in the face.
''Well, there are the Socialists and An
archists"
at wouldn't do to be too severe on those
fellows, either. Our leading doctor is an
avowed socialist, and he has bought ten
tickets for this evenings lecture"
Il shall devote some attention to the Ii
quor traffic of course"
Great snakes, no! This town has just
voted for license by big majority"
How about the secret sOcieties?"
"Well, I'm the presiding officer of two
local lodges myself, and
Il see. Is there any subject under the
sun I can talk about without offending
somebody"
ooh, yes You can roast the Christian
Scientists all you want to. We haven't any

RetrOccssiOnal.

From the North China Daily News.
Ye rulers of our land that hold
In leash our useless battle-line,
Beneath whose hand we now behold
An empires sure and swift decline;
Curzon, one thing We ask thee yet:
Let us forget, let US forget!
The pride that was our birthright dies
Our captains and their ships depart
At word Tsar; official lies
Teach us a new and humble heart:
Salisbury! whilst thou shalt rule as yet
Let us forget, let us forget
Far-called our navies melt away
From risk of French and Russian ire
And all our pomp of yesterday
Is dead, with men of Dizzy's fire;
Hicks-B Beach, thy Boosting spare us yet,
Let us forget, let us forget
If, mad at loss of power, We think
That England once was held in awe,
And curse the policies that shrink
From lesser breeds without the Law,
Talk to us softly, Balfour, yet,
Let us forget, let us forget
Let us forget that once our race
Was stout of heart and strong of word
Now let us take out mental place,
Doffing the idle, boashng sword,
Empire on which the sun doth set.
Let us forget, let us forget

ANOTHER QUARANTINE CONvEN-

1t Is proposed that a quarantine inter
state convention shall be held in Mem
phis in November. Quarantine con-
ventons and conferences have become all
most as common as conventions for the
purpose of restricting the cotton produc-
ton; and the results in each case seem to
be about the same-practically nothing. 1t
has only been a few months since a quar-
antine convention met at Atlanta. and
adopted an elaborate and comprehensive
agreement" And just previous to that
meeting there was quarantine conference
at Mobile at which the whole situation
was deliberately canvassed The trouble
with the Mobile and Atlanta meetings was
that the delegates represented only them
selves They had no power 10 enforce
their conclusions. Their agreements"
therefore, were worth the paper they were
written on, and nothing more. That this
is true is shown by the conflict now on
between the states of Texas and Missis-
slppi and Louisiana in the matter of the
fever in some sections of the latter states.
And Ii does not appear that the delegates
to the proposed Memphis convention are
to have any more authority than was pos
sessed by those that attended the Mobile
and Atlanta meetings.
1t is understood that the Memphis con-
vention will consider the establishing of an
Interstate quarantine system. Precise
ly what this means is not clear. Many
of those Instrumental in sending out the
call for the meeting are understood to be
in favor of quarantine under control of
the federal government, to a greater or
| less extent, but there are some differences
of opinion respecting the scope of author
ity which the general government should
have.
If the convention must be held. 1t seems
that about the best use it could make
of its time would be in discussing national
mot interstate) quarantine, and how to Sc
cure 1t at the earliest possible moment.
There has already been enough temporiz-
ing with the shotgun quarantine. If the
Memphis convention can take steps TO stir
| Congress to action on the matter this win
| ter so that an efficient national quaran-
| tine system may be in operation at the
| beginning of the danger period next sum-
mer, its meeting will not have been in
vain.

The CIientage of yellow journalism
From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger NndO.

The people who now read the mad
house" sheets read them because they are
loud and vulgar They are the morbid,
who, as the French say, constantly crave
a new SILVER" They are seeking a new
sensation, and the paper that peppers
the highest is surest to please" 1t is a
clientage as unstable as water. and when
once got is of uncertain duration. The
temptation to hold il by catering to it
will be well nigh irresistible. No orator
is unintiuenced by his audience, and every
newspaper is bound TO be influenced, il
may be insensibly but none the less appre-
ciably, by the character of its readers. To
make sacrifice of quality for mere popu-
larity is TO throw away the one thing es-
sential for a genuine success, and to get
what is of questionable value.

To Sea without a Main Mast.

Commodore Truxton distinguished him
self during the war of the revolution. and
subsequently commanded the naval station
at Baltimore. Commodore Stewart COM
manded a brig which was fitted out there.
and had been ordered by Truxton to pro-
coed to sea on a certain day.
Stewart reported on that day that 1t was
impossible for him to sail, as he had not
yet hoisted in his mainmast
"Obey your orders" replied Truxton.
Stewart sailed forthwith, towing his
mainmast astern. Fortunately the wind
was fair, and when he reached a point be-
yond the limits of Truxton's command, he
anchored, hoisted in his mainmast, COM
pleted his preparations for sea, and then
sailed.

The decline in Populism is shown by the
decrease in the number of candidates put
in the field by that party in the present
congressional contest. One thousand can
didates in all are reported running for the
S57 seats in the House of Representatives.,
and of these but 81 are classed as Pop
ulists Two years ago there were 126 avow-
ed Populist candidates for Congress. The
falling off is especially noticeable in the
South, there being but q candidates for
Congress this fall, against 81 in 1896. The
third party is but a fragment of its for
mer self. The best elements of it have
been swallowed up in the Old parties, the
Democracy securing the larger part of
those quitting its fold. Again has the fact
been demonstrated that there is no room
IN this country for more than two great
parties, and no national reforms desired
which cannot best be secured by working
within the party lines.
