In all, The latter land is marsh land, but can be made profitable.

The Minnesota Board of Corrections and Charities is apparently economical. From report recently published 1t ap- pears that at the State training school and at other institutions which care for minors the cost of feeding is as low as seven cents per day. It rises to 10 cents In the reformatory, to Il in the asylums for insane. to 12 in the State prison, and to 152 In the soldiers home. A curious fact noted in the re- port is that it costs more to feed the blind than it does to sustain the deaf. as certain foods cannot be used in the institution for the care of patients of the former class. With all this economy, however, which is carried into matters other than sustenance, no one of the States institutions is self supporting, although the restrictions on the employment of prison labor are not as onerous or absurd as they are in some other states.

ROoSEVELT,S NEW VICTORY.

The Rough Riders captured what
 they went after in Cuba, and there was
 no withstanding them in the New York
 Republican State convention. Colonel
 Roosevelt was nominated on the first
 ballot by a large majority and it was
 plain that what opposition there was to him was of very perfunctory kind.
 There was some smooth riding over the
 legal objections to his nomination that
 had been raised, and it was evident
 that the convention didn't care any
 more about them than the Rough Rid
 CTS did about the Spaniards.
 The platform adopted is a most in
 teresting document. The Republicans
 of the Empire State are imperialists.
 They say: We realize that when the
 necessities of war compelled our nation
 to destroy Spanish authority in the An
 titles and in the Philippines we assumed
 solemn duties and obligations alike to the people of the islands we conquered
 and to the civilized world. We cannot
 turn those islands back to Spain. We
 cannot leave them, unarmed for defence
 and untried in statecraft, to the horrors of domestic strife, or to partition among European powers. We have as- stunned the responsibilities of victory, and wherever our flag has gone there the liberty, the humanity and the civil ization which that flag embodies and represents must remain and abide for ever.
 In other respects the. platform is bold the Republicans of the leading State in the Union. Governor Black will per haps feel like asking why he wasn't re-
 nominated when his fellow Republicans say of him: "We commend the admin | istration of Governor Black It has been wise, statesmanlike, careful and economical, and has resulted in the | lowest legitimate tax rate which the State has had since 1856" But he can | console himself by remembering that if l it hadn't been for the war he might have had the other term which the platform says he deserved.
 Colonel Roosevelt will probably have a big vote There is no more popular man in the country to-day, and voters of all parties in New York will hasten ! to flock to the standard of the brave soldier who didn't say Go on!" to his men, but Come on!"

water before the Nicaragua canal is fairly started if if is started at all.

water before the Nicaragua canal is fairly started, if 1t is started at all.
 Fully six thousand men are now at work on the Panama canal. So far according to the eminent engineers en- gagged to advise the new Panama com pany, $125, 0,00O have been usefully spent, with the result, already stated, that two-flfths of the canal are com pleted, It has been determined to do the rest The Colombian government has extended the concession for eight
 years, in which time the work will be completed. The new company has no relations with the old. The old com pany was sold out, and its successor is not embarrassed by it's errors, There are now in hand over S13.0000O0 for pur- poses of construction, and plenty of
 capital will be forthcoming, 1t is stated, when needed. M. Bannardel, the presi-
 dent of the company, and the directors
 are men of emnence in the commercial and financial circles of France. The company is believed to be especially
 strong in the competency of the engin-
 eers upon whose advice it is proceed
 ing. The directors have been cautious
 and have refrained from exploiting
 their enterprise before the public until
 convinced of it's soundness, but they
 now feel so well fortified by the reports of their engineers that they will prob
 ably soon challenge attention to their
 scheme. The new company has no re-
 lations with the French government.
 The Panama canal, according to the
 present plan, is to have six locks on each side of the summit level The
 Chagres river is to be dealt with by
 means of great artificial lake, which will control the floods of the rainy sea- son. This lake Is to cover $500 acres
 and have capacity of 15O, 900, ,000 cubic
 metres. The water power developed by the lake will be used to work the locks
 and provide electric Night. Negroes from the British West Indies are found to stand well the Panama climate and
 by the use of American methods of ex-
 cavation 1t is expected that the canal will be ready in much less than eight years. The Panama company insti- tutes comparisons between it's route and the Nicaragua route, to the disad- vantage of the latter. It is pointed out | that the Panama canal has good ports, | easy of access at both ends, while the | Nicaragua canal is to have artificial ports, now closed by drifting sands. l The one is but forty-six miles long, the ! other one hundred and seventy-six miles long. The time of transit on the Panama route would be fourteen hours; on the Nicaragua route, fortyfour hours. The curvatures of the shorter | line are less than on the longer
 | If the Nicaragua canal had been be-
 gun ten years ago probably the Panama
 scheme would have died. Now it looks
 as if the Nicaragua scheme might die.

Zontally, the tucks loosened a little at the shoulders. A simple ribbon is about the throat. the ends crossing at the back and being tucked away at the sides in the "sore- throat fashion, which is being revived. A black satin or velvet sash belt is worn, with long ends suddenly widening at the hems and finished with many frlls. A pair of bows to match are set on the front of the bodice and are connected by an end that loops from one to the other. This bow finish is very common finish to the fronts of bodices.
 White cloth trimming is character istic of many new cloth bodices, and its use is so free that often there is nearly or quite as much of the white stuff as of the darker goods. It is so stylish method of ornamentation that 1t at once marks the dress 80 garnished as up-to-date, and so is desirable re- sort. An example of it is sketched here. The dress goods was blue and white figured woolen stuff. and in the skirt the seams were strapped with dark blue. The jacket bodice opened over a front of white china silk. Its revers and turned-down collar were of white cloth, finished with stitching and buttons White cloth banded length wise with cadet blue gave back and separate fronts that formed a finish for those of the figured material. Such free use of white on dark stuff ire quently results in rather conspicuous rigs. These are distinctly all right be- cause fashion says so emphatically. but such dresses are not in the best

4 QUEER CASE.

There are all kinds of queer things in decided there. In 1890 the city council of Garden City contracted with one S. M, Heller to set out large number of trees along the city streets. It was pro- vided in the contract that when the city should accept MT. Heller's work the cost of it would be assessed against the abutting property owners. It was also provided that MT. Heller was to receive pay for only such trees as were found two years. The two years rolled around and the contractor called for an in- spection of the trees and their counting Under the advice of the city attorney the council declined to make this count ing and set up that the whole contract
 was illegal. Heller went to law and the
 case was decided against him. He ap- pealed to the Supreme court, which overruled the decision of the court be- lOW dIlu S6ll lIlG case UdCh TOT dllUlIleE trial. In reversing the lower court the Supreme court held that by annuling the contract the city council had made the city as whole liable and that Hell l Ter did not have to look to abutting property holders for his pay. It held
 further that as the city had waived its right to count the trees and pass upon their condition. Heller was entitled to judgment for every tree which his own testimony showed to have been planted and kept living for two years. In con- formity with this decision the district court last week gave Heller judgment against the city for $33133 The Gar den City Imprint declares that if the | city council had examined the trees ac- cording to contract they would not have found single one fit for acceptance. and that the city would therefore have | escaped paying a single cent. The Im-
 print lays the blame at the door of a Populist city attorney who thought he | knew the law but didn't.
