THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI.
GrentcKt of All the River Systems
Tpon the Earth.

How many Americans appreciate the
grandeur of their country's geography
How many know that there is no RIVER
system on earth which even distantly
compares with that of the Mississippi
and its tributaries? -
The census tells us that these rivers,
all flowing through one channel into
the Gulf Of Mexico, aggregate more
than 100000 miles in length. The
Amazon, the Nile, the Gauges, and all
the rest Of the great river systems on
earth put together scarcely approach
this magnificent showing.
Think of il. A steamboat leaving
Pittsburgh can visit 90 states without
passing through any artificial channel
She can go up the Allegheny and
Monongaheia, the Big Sandy, the Ken
lucky, the Wabash, the Tennessee, and
the Cumberland-clea into Alabama
before reaching the mouth of the Ohio.
Below Cairo she can traverse not only
the Mississippi, but the St. Francois, the
Arkansas, the White, the Red, the va
zoo, the Tallahatchee, the Yalobusha.
the Ouachita, the great bayous, and all
the tributaries OF these streams.
Above Cairo lie the Upper Mississippi,
the Illinois, the Missouri, the Yellow
stone, the Platte, the Big Horn, and a
score of tributaries to all these. The
supposititious steamboat can land at
1850 towns and cities on her way.
These rivers drain an area of 1851
300 square miles, occupied by popula-
ton Of 24,2os, 332 in 1890.
The commerce of this great river syst
tenn was carried on in 1889 by 7,453 ves-
sells, with an aggregate tonnage of
1893, $40, and a value of S15,535,CO5.
Ard so rich is that commerce that Its
annual gross earnings exceed the total
value Of the craft engaged in it by
nearly a million dollars. 1t carries
nearly eleven million passengers and
nearly thirty-three million tons Of
freight per year.
And this is only one Of the great river
systems Of our country.-George Cary
Eggleston, in n. Y. World
Mountain Torrents I'm the Rockies.
Scattered among the foothills of the
Rockies are rivers still more willful in
lntIT ndDllS. luSttdu VI "
their duties in methodical way, they
rush their annual work through in a
month or two; then they take long
vacations. For months together they
carry no water at all; and one may
plant and build and live and sleep in
their deserted beds-but beware!
Without warning they resume active
business. Maybe on Sunday, or in the
middle Of the night, storm-cloud
visits the mountains. There is a roar,
n crashing, and down comes terrible
wall of water, sweeping away houses,
and barns, and people. No fishing, no
boating, no swimming, no skating on
those treacherous rivers; only surprise
ind shock and disaster!-F. r. Spear
man, In st. Nicholas.

SCHOOLS MAY KEEP OPEN.
Board Hopes to Get Cash From the
Sinking Fund.

If the public schools of Minneapolis are
closed on March / it will be because a ma
jority Of the members Of the city council
desire 1t. The council has refused the sale
of $1,000 of bonds upon the grounds that
the bonds were authorized by the people for
maintenance of the school system, but way
is now presented by which the council may
without the slightest sacrifice of dignity,
place at the disposal of the board of educa-
ton 500 600 from the sinking fund, which,
together with small additional amount, will
be sufficient to run the schools to May 49,
A meeting of the board Of education was
held yesterday. Mr.. Schlener announced that,
Mr.. Peavy was to depart in few days to
remain several months, the meeting was
solution of the perplexing problem, that the
teachers and public might know something
definite regarding the closing OF the schools.
There considerable discussion, at times
animated but each member thoroughly
in earnest, and the suggestions made showed
giving serious thought to the complicated
situation, and realized the calamity that the
turning of 10000 school children out into
the streets would be to the city of Mime
apolis.
The plan proposed, and which will I'M
doubtedly be carried out, is simply to avail
itself of 500 900 which will soon accrue to the
sinking fund from the revolving fund In
order to secure this money 1t is necessary
that the sinking fund commission authorize
its by the board, the action of the COM
mission to be approved by the city council.
The sinking fund commission is composed Of
the mayor comptroller and treasurer. Mayor
Pratt stated his entire willingness and said
the comptroller is agreeable to the Plan AS
the commission will undoubtedly authorize
it only remains for the city council to ap-
prove it's action.

BLIXT DIDN'T TESTIFY.
Hearing Had In the Cling Insurance
Suit.

Claus A. Blixt did not testify in the case
Of Julia A. Cling against the Travellers In

the testimony given by the murderer of
Catherine Cling at the time of the Hayward
trial, and as printed in the history of the
case by the Tribune, sufficient to n
swer all purposes. The same decision was
also reached in regard to the testimony given
by Drs. Nippert and Spring.
Long before the opening of the court the
corridor was crowded and when the trial
began the jam great that the bailiffs
were instructed to refuse admission to those
yet on the outside.
About the only interesting incident in the
case the effort by Mr.. Eustis to prevent
the Introduction of the Tribune account as
a part of the of the plaintiff. Mr. Eus-
tbs had sent the book to the company as
part of the proofs of death, and had marked
certain passages, referring to them in an
accompanying letter. The judge ruled that
the printed matter referred to was properly
4 part Of the letter, and it was allowed in
evidence. Mr.. Eustis then read from page
