THE NEW UNION.

The Fourth of July this year will
 have a new meaning. Its celebration
 will celebrate the old independence of
 this country and the new union. The
 people of the South have not paid
 much attention to the Fourth of July
 lately. It is now proposed by influen-
 tial men and influential papers in the
 South that the celebration of the
 Fourth be revived in that region. For
 instance, the Mobile Register says
 What better time than this, therefore,
 to abandon an unreasonable practice
 and revive the old time celebration of the Glorious Fourth? We see once
 again united country, the North and the South joined in 8 war against a foreign foe, southern men wearing the uniform of blue and southern men bearing the flag of our republic. Why, If there was nothing else to rejoice over, this spectacle itself should arouse enthusiasm. But there is more than this. This spectacle is the result of the form of government bequeathed to 1 us by our ancestors, and that govern ment itself was the first great result of the Declaration of Independence which
 was given to the world on the Fourth of July, 1776. No other nation has ever been able to display such a reunion of | it's various elements. Nations, indeed,
 have been split asunder by rebellions and revolutions, and have again been | reunited, but those old sores were only closed by the death of the participants | Time has proved the only healer In | our case, on the contrary, those who
 fought are still alive, many of them in
 the prime of life, and yet here we see
 them marching shoulder to shoulder
 equal comrades, equal in honor, equal
 in responsibility, and equal in their

4 STRONG PARCHMENT.

It would perhaps not be expected that
 municipal ownership of electric light
 plants would be favored by the Ma
 tional Electric Light association, but
 some will be surprised by the strength
 of the argument made by the president
 of the association against such owner
 ship. This argument is based on pure
 ly economic grounds. In the present
 conditions municipal control merely
 proposes the substitution of political
 for industrial management, Mr. Insull
 says, and the folly of that appears in
 the answer which any one can make to
 this query proposed by MT. Insull: "Is the administration of municipal affairs in the various cities throughout this country so economical as compared with the management of private indus tries, and the class of service rendered so efficient, as to justify the increasing of the burdens already imposed upon
 municipal government?" Equally fu- tile, in Mr. Insults opinion, are the al- formative schemes of granting competi- tive franchises or of requiring the cor- porations to pay a portion of their re- eeipts to the municipality. Acute com petition necessarily frightens the inves- tor and compels corporations to pay a very high price for capital, MT. Insull | argues. The competing companies in- variably come together, and the inter- est cost on their product (which is by l far the most important part of their cost) Is rendered abnormally high, part l.ly owing to duplication of investment | and partly to the high price paid for
 money borrowed during the period oi competition. Sharing the receipts would only add to the expense account on which the selling price is figured. It would simply make the corporation a I tax-gatherer for the municipality, and
 an unjust tax-gatherer, inasmuch as only the minority using the electric l light would, by such means, contribute to the public revenue

NO ATHLETES.

It is more and more apparent that even when we have thoroughly defeat ed the Spaniards they will not know enough to know it. They may speak of sad but glorious days" but that will be the nearest they will come to the truth. They are now much encour- aged by the following gem in Fl Diario: The average height among the Ameri- cans is five feet two, and they have never produced an athlete. This is due to their living almost entirely upon vegetables, as they ship all of their beef out of the country, so eager are they to make money. There is no doubt that one full grown Spaniard can de- feat any three men in America.
 Never produced an athlete' is rich ness. Among the members of the Unit ed States army are some young men named Waller, Sanford, Weston, Chap pell, Bailey, Miller and Bull The full grown Spaniard who tackles any three of these young men will stop his sub scription to Fl Diario as soon as the fight is over. And there are others.

TIT FOR YAT.

It is interesting to read that there is great excitement in Spain owing to fears that the American fleet may come there. It is time for such excitement in Spain. There was similar excite- ment in this country for awhile. Ad- miral Cervera's fleet did come here, and now there is no more excitement. There is only patient waiting for the annexa- ton or destruction of that fleet, which, after appearing in five hundred differ ent places at one time, is now steadily and securely appearing in one place. The excitement about Spanish fleets is over in this country. The excitement about United States fleets is growing in Spain. The prospect is that it will continue 70 grow and that there will be ample warrant for its growth.

sages were taken to the main office, where or five operators sat at long where four orf1ve operators sat at long CT imagination than good subordinate should possess, went to pieces under the strain, crumbling to a nervous wreck like so much softening wax. It was a game that took hours to play, one move after another, and when an order was given it was irrevocable. The figures were trains and the field cov- cred seven miles of track thirty miles distant. It was midnight when the play began; at 4 o'clock the east-bound
 train resumed operations and at B o'clock everything was moving normal ly. Scattered among the eighty trains affected, covering altogether nearly 150 miles of track, there were three pas senger trains and five fast freights. Added to the original problem was the task of locating these eight trains, ex- tricating them and guiding them past others of inferior right and less value. This was accomplished so successfully that the schedule of these trains was affected only a matter of about thirty minutes each. At the end of the eight hours of absorption the superintendent and one despatcher stood up and yawn- ed merely .remarking that it was all ready daylight.
 This was train despatching that is, the controlling of trains running behind their schedule by a man having the supervision and knowledge of the whole road. It is distinctly an Ameri- can institution. European railroads hava navnr. dprpp frhad fraiys On fha 1 German railways, for instance, each
 station master is in charge of a cer-
 tain portion of the track; if anything
 goes amiss he works as best he can

one of the corners Of the hat. A common use of spangles is on chiffon, which is frequently shaped as in the upper of the two hats pictured here, where it was shirred and wired into wings. The hat itself was fancy green straw, the crown encircled with a drap- cry of green taffeta edged on both sides with narrow green spangled chiffon frilling. The other hat of this sketch was tipped down even further than the first one. It was of fine black chip which was tastefully garnished with violet Liberty silk that was shirred in front, as shown. In back was a full wreath of violets to give the hat the desired tilt, and pair of black wings copleted the trimming.
 The sale of sailor hats has so far dropped off a lot this season. That Is because last years sailor looks so well draped loosely about with white taf- feta scarf and pair of white quills set in the side. Lots of stunning sail ors are thus trimmed, the quills curv- ing close to the hat and fine black yelling tying loosely over all. The re- suit is so compact that the hat is ab- solutely secure from assaults of the wind. That has always been one of the objections to the trimmed summer hat, the breezes would send it's orna- mentation flying, but now that it is | the rage to trim hat first and then enshroud it with tulle or yelling the puzzle is solved The wheel girl sub | mitted to the walking hat and the | tourist for riding because the plain sailor was too plain and the trimmed one would not stay, but this season i she is trimming her sailor, covering it snugly though lightly, and makes a pretty scarf for this purpose, and the | prettiest of all is an old fashioned | soft linen kerchief which should be 1 fresh washed without starch directly | it shows a bit of mussness.

Luxuries are un- doubtedly scarce in the Asiatic fleet, and the thought of how much the American tackles would enjoy a good smoke induced Frederick A.

One firm sent five hundred cigars of a spe- cial brand for Admiral Dewey's own use, which cannot be duplicated until the Cuban crops grow again.

Toronto Is the scene of novel form of philanthropy. It is the care of the teeth of children whose parents are too poor to employ dentist A local physi- elan conceived the idea and sought the aid of the churches. He was ready to bear the financial burden alone, but he desired the church people to assist him in finding objects for his charity. His notion was ridiculed, but he persisted in it without assistance, expended much money in fitting up his dispen- sary and in employing assistants, and last year cared for the teeth of nearly 2.000 children. He seeks no aid from any quarter, but finds it necessary oc- casionally to appeal to the citizens to furnish him with the names of people who cannot afford to spend money on their children's teeth. The capacity of his free dentistry is apparently in ex- cess of the local needs.

At Paris the Roentgen rays have been used to demonstrate the certainty of death by photographing the thorax and noting the difference between the hazy outline of the thoracic organs in the case of a living person and the sharp and well-defined edges when a radio graph was made from the same portion of a corpse. The pulsations of the heart and great vessels and the movements of the diaphragm rendered the shad- ows hay, and even when the subjects held their breath to minimize all move ments there was still lack of sharp ness about the edges.
