Purpose in His Politeness

1t was raining cats and dogs outside and
the car was crowded. A young woman
stood looking from one seated man to an
other, but the men would not bulge. She
looked timidly then appealingly; then dag
gers, but they did not care. Finally the
worst-dressed and toughest looking man In
the car got up.

"Oh, thank you ever so much said the
young lady, shooting glances at the other
men, which said: You are gentlemen. but
this uneducated laborer could give you o
lesson in manners"

seat, shielding now her face now her white
stand-up collar, and looking, with trcu-

Marshal Fields Great Purchase

The price per square foot which Marshall
Field paid for the l.. Is. Letter property,
Madison and State streets, was trifie less
than $40. The sale of the property to Mr..
Field is confirmed by Harlow N. Higin-
botham, who said the price paid was 81,
100, 900. Mr.. Higinbotham does not know
what Mr.. Field intends to do with the
property. In comparison with other re-
cent sales of down town property the price
paid per square foot does not appear excess
sive. Here are some valuations placed by
the real estate board: Southwest corner
Lasalle and Madison, so by 1885, per square
foot $l32; southwest corner State and
Washington, So by S., $l33; southwest cor
ner Clark and Monroe, so by 90, $ll9; north

Her Diamond Teeth Ruined Him

According to Arthur II. Kunze, a dentist,
the diamond studded teeth in the mouth of
his wife gave her taste for expensive food
and style of living he could not afford.
Keeping up with those sparkling teeth
ruined him, Kunze said, so he mortgaged
his dental tools, left his wife and employed
a housekeeper. For a time he lost sight of
the woman with the diamonds, but she
turned up last Saturday with warrant for
his arrest on the charge of abandonment.
The case was heard by Magistrate Went
worth in the Harlem police court. Kunze
said that he lived happily until the dia-
mond teeth broke in on his bank account.
His wife then developed such expensive
tastes that he could no longer support her.
He was willing to do so, but poverty pre-
vented. In reply to the demand of Mrs,
Kunze's attorney that she be allowed ali
mony, Magistrate Wentworth decided that
the dentist was too poor to pay weekly
sum. He then threw the case out of court

SKATERS TROOPS
CONTINUED From Page One.)

On the Brooklyn a work of almost stupend-
mounts Of all the five-inch guns. the guns
that did such splendid work in the battle
of July Sd, were injured and were being
replaced by more substantial modern ones.
This meant the dismounting Of every one
of the five-inch guns. the removing of the
gun itself from the Jacket and carriage.
Twelve guns In all had to be replaced, in
addition to o six-pounder that had been
bent and spoiled. The work began on
Tuesday, when the Armenia arrived with
the new mounts, and i'm charge of Gunner
Applegate, the work being done entirely by
the crew Of the Brooklyn, proceeded SO
rapidly that on Friday noon all we're fin
ished.
On Saturday, July 23d, the Brooklyn and
the Vixen left Santiago for Guantanamo,
and for the first time in eight weeks the
frowning MORO looked down on the Carib-
bean sea free from menacing war vessels.
The Brooklyn was in bad condition and
was obliged to be repaired at once.
The Texas was ordered to New York, her
decks being in a dangerous condition
Under the order of the department detail
ing all the armored vessels for an European
voyage, the Brooklyn, Iowa, Oregon, Yam
kee Prairie, New York and Indiana began
taking coal and supplies.
On Tuesday, July 26, it became known
that the Brooklyn had been added to Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet and that Commodore
Schley had been ordered to select another
flagship from the small vessels to be left
on the blockade.

THE COST OF THE WAR

Nearly one hundred million dollars in
cash has already been paid out of the
treasury on account of the war with
Spain. 1t is impossible to obtain an ac-
curats estimate of the cost of the war,
for the reason that 1t is difficult to draw
the line exactly between what would be
the ordinary expenses of the army and
navy and the expenses directly chargeable
to the war. However, the expenditures
on account of the army and the navy
since the passage of the national defense
act have run more than seventy-hve
million dollars over the expenditures for
the same period last year. The greater
part of this was paid out for the war de-
partment, the expenses Of which have
increased more than fifty million dollars.
The increase in naval expenditures has
been over twenty-five million dollars.
These figures represent actual cash pay
msnts and do not include contracts on
which payments have not yet fallen due.
as Is the case with many Of the contracts
made under the national defense act.
Since July l the war expenditures have
averaged about one million dollars day,
and 1t is expected that they will run over
this amount when more of the army is
actually in the field. as the cost of main
tanning 1t there is much greater than In
the camps. Heavy as is the draft upon
the treasury there will be no difficulty
in meeting all demands as they become
due Within few days the proceeds Of
the twenty million dollar bond sale will
be covered into the treasury, running the
cash balance far beyond its present figure
of $3.50 100000
The war revenue law is also in full
operation now, and the receipts under 1t
are coming fully up to the expectations
of the treasury department. The inter-
nal revenue receipts for the present
month, to date, amount to S9.SG0 ST6, fully
doubling the receipts from this source
under the old law At the same time Gus
toms receipts are keeping up we'll and
amount to $4333, 275 for the month, to
date. 1t is too early yet to make pre-
dictions as to what will be the average
monthly receipts from the new taxes, but
the indications are that they will amount
to fully fifteen million dollars. This will
not be enough to meet all the expenses
of the war, and the proceeds of the bond
sale will have to be drawn on largely,
while If the war is continued indefinitely
more bonds vii have to be issued.--Wash-
ington dispatch in New York Herald &.

Heads to the North

The superstition that human beings
should sleep with their heads to the north
Is believed by the French to have for It's
foundation a scientific fact. They affirm
that each human system is in itself an
electric battery, the head being one of the
electrodes, the feet the other. Their proof
was discovered from experiments which
the academy Of sciences was allowed to
make on the body of man who was gull
lotined. The head part, after a little va
cillation, turned to the north and the body
then remained stationary. 1t was turned
halfway round by one of the professors,
and again the head end Of the trunk moved
slowly to the cardinal point due north the
same results being repeated until the final
arrestation of organic movement-Boston

Flag Enclosed in an Icicle

a simple mountaineering anecdote from
the top of Mount Egmont, Taranaki, New
Zealand. A party of climbers assembled the
topmost rock of the sleeping giant, planted
thereupon nine-foot pole and hauled aloft
the union jack. A fortnight later another
party prepared to shin up the pole and so
claim a six-foot higher record than the
first, assembled and found that the flag
had frozen while blowing to the breezes.
There is was imbedded in four inches of
icicle, the colors standing out as in look
ing-glass. Not only this, but that icicle
extended right down to the ground. All
this in the summer time! Doubters must
not Singer, for the party photographed
the phenomenon.-Sydney Bulletin.

WHY EUROPEANS DISLIKE US

We believe that the hatred of Con-
tinentals for Americans springs from
precisely the same sources as the dis
like for Great Britain herself, namely,
envy Of a prosperity considered over
weening, dislike for the bearing of Amer
leans, and a vague apprehension akin
to that felt by many Englishmen about
Russia, that they will ultimately threat
en- the very existence-or is it the sub
sistence?-of less numerous races.
OF these motives the former is, with
the bodies of the peoples, the strongest.
They hear necessarily from the emf
grants, as we'll as the journals, of the
marvellous wealth of Americans, of the
success of their manufactures, of the
expansion of their trade and of the gen.
eral we'll being produced by all these
causes. They see that the yankees"
as they call them, bear none of the usual
burdens, that they have no conscrip-
ton. no need for watching their neigh
bors, no restraints upon their liberty,
and they detest them almost as strongly
as socialists detest the rich bourgeoisie.
Why, they ask, should Americans be so
happy while Europeans are so miserable?
They want taking down.
This distance is increased by belief
that the Americans are not only no bet
ter than Europeans, but that they are
morally and Intellectually inferior to
them, that their officials are corrupt,
their clergy hypocritical, their masses
given up to purely material interests.
They care nothing for art, have never
erected building and have produced
no literature. They look on the Ameri-
cans, in fact, much as "mugwump"
looks on an alderman of Chicago, and
sicken to think that such people is Of
all mankind that which has succeeded
best in the economic competition and
has been most successful in uniting liber-
ty and plenty.
They cannot bear the peculiar Ameri-
can form of swagger, which is not like
either their own swagger or that of En-
glishmen, and misunderstood their d.
rectness and realism in speech as form
of boorishness. All people in the world,
we have long noticed, are annoyed by
the English habit of "chaff," and the
Continental is so veXed by American
'pawkiness" and sub-satiric humor that
he fails to recognize what every En-
glshman sees, that kindness to those
who only demand equality is the very
essence of the special American charac-
ter. He thinks them spiteful as we'll as
selfish, and looks upon their high tariffs,
the result of false political economy,
as dictated by wish to impoverish Eu-
rope and thrust it out Of it's natural right
to compete for trade.
The Continentals have, too, a certain
fear of the republic, an idea hardly for
mulated except among statesmen, but
still visible in the masses, that it may at
tain to giant proportions, that it may
one day arm itself, and that when it
does the external commerce Of the con-
tinent, if not it's internal independence,
will be at the mercy of America. For
all these reasons they hold America in
testation.-London Spectator.
