THE CzAR,S SINCERITY.

The wise ones are asking, Is the Czars note sincere? We don't see why it isn't likely to be quite as sim cere as any move that has lately been made by any of the Powers. The Czar has never shown any desire to be "a war lord" He knows that his own country needs peace in order to develop its resources and become truly great and safe. He knows that some of the other Powers are staggering under their military burdens and need relief from them. He knows that the "gen- eral European war; for which Europe has been and is preparing would be very disastrous. And he knows that peace is more civilized condition than war. There is no good reason to be- lieve that his note is simply a trick to defeat the war party in England and there is ample reason to believe that it was inspired by true patriotism and a deep regard for the good of all the world

THE AIMS OF THE CLEANS.

I have been unable to obtain an ex- pression of opinion from General Co., meg himself, who is particularly shy of newspaper correspondents, as he claims that they have invariably misrepresent- ed him; but from members of his staff and officers of his command, who have expressed their opinions-and forcibly at that-I am satisfied that they repre- sent his views as well as their own. One officer on Gomez's staff, who speaks English well, told me, just after he had had long talk with his chief, that if they were only going to ex- change one set of masters for another, they would indefinitely prefer to remain under Spanish rule, for their language was the same, their habits the same, and their blood the same to large ex- tent: while on the other hand, the Americans would take much more out of the country than the Spaniards had done.
 There can be no question but that, in Cuban military circles at least, the good faith of the American government is very much doubted, ard officers are asking themselves if they will have to fight on when the Spaniards have evac- ] uated the island. Gomez himself shows that he is uneasy with regard to the sit uation, for his temper, which is invaria- bly bad, has for the last few days be- come almost unbearable. He rules eve ry one with a rod of iron, and the slightest infraction of his ever-chang- ing orders means instant and severe punishment, ranging from death down to being ''bucked," which consists of your legs and arms being tied to ri- fie in such a manner as to render you incapable of walking, or doing any thing but sit like a trussed fowl ready for the table.
 Gomez is not a native of Cuba, hav- ing been born in Santo Domingo, and, in fact, he served as a lieutenant in the Spanish army against the Dominican
 patriots when fighting for their liberty. From what I have seen of him should say he was a man of more than ordi- nary ability. excessively ambitious,
 whose desire is to go down in Cuban history as Washington or a Bolivar. do not think I am nisiudging the man when l say that his great ambi-
 tton is to be the first president of Cuba Libre," when the island is in

4 ZINE EIGHT.

The Leigh brothers have been rather quiet in politics during the last few years, but they haven't been very quiet in politics during the last few weeks. Much interest has been felt in the very lively campaign they have been con- ducting in this city. This campaign eliminated last night, and the report is that they corraled a majority of the delegates If this report is correct they have accomplished notable po- litical feat, and added much to their reputation for efficiency. They are what would be called 'hustlers'' in the West, and it can fairly be said in their favor that they are open and square"
 in their hustling. Their fight against the Democratic machine here has been a hard one, and their victory will have important consequences, whether they win or lose in the county convention.

and collar were separate and of white tucked batiste and bands of embroid- cry. The trio of bows, one at the bust and the others at the shoulders, was a quaint device. Those at the shoulders furnished for the sleeves q capping of which there are now few acceptable sorts, so rapidly has this but recently universal masking passed out of use.
 Summer belles have done deal of running about bearheaded, and the in dications are that they will keep up this practice in a measure. Already it is said that fashionable young women will discard headdress as often as pos sble, that they will attend the theater and all evening affairs hatless, with the glory of their glossy locks undiin- med. Filmy bits of lawn and lace will, perhaps, rest lightly on her head in carriage or cars, for some of the swells ride about in cars a lot Their latest notion Is to hire an "express car,' which makes no stops and takes no passengers except those hiring it, yet runs along the same route as that fol- lowed by the plebean car wherein five cent fare folk ride. The pompadour is responsible for this sudden opposition to hats. A perfect pompadour is as becoming an outline and background to the face as a hat can possibly be- and the perfect pompadour is injured by any hat. If the no-hat craze i'm jures the milliners, they will insist on their customers cutting the bang, and then! But women will be slow to cut their front hair again, or at least they ought not to be drawn into it easily.

in conference with the surgeon one-half
 as often as the big men-the football
 players at Annapolis. There has been a good deal of talk lately about the over-worked engineer officers of the
 navy, led up to by the fact that so
 many of them, even before the war
 broke out, had to be invalided. Out of curiosity I dug into the records little while ago. and discovered that only about ten per cent. of the really under sized engineer officers had been passed upon by medical boards of survey.
 while good seventy per cent. of the engineers notable for their size had suffered more or less from sickness
 brought on by overwork. Another sig nificant fact is that most of the big men who went on the Greedy expedition gave | up and died when the hardships began, while the small men nearly all were alive and kicking at the rescue."- Washington Star.

It is said that officers at the War de- parlment deprecate the manner in which complaints have been made in the newspapers on the ground that the whole matter will discredit the Ameri- can army and have a bad effect on dis cipline. The soldiers, they say, will be made to believe that they have been badly treated, that they are being inn posed upon, and at some juncture 1t may result in mut;ny and insubordina- ton for the reason that the troops in case of some order which seems espe- cally hard, will take matters into their own hands, claiming the people are with them. It is claimed that if the stories are all true it will indicate that the American army is of really little account and cannot bear hardship.
 This is an ingenious and ingenious way of looking at things. Perhaps it isn't altogether good for "discipline' that the treatment of the soldiers is re- ceiving such attention from the news papers and the people. But neither is it good for discipline that they have had such treatment. And isn't it well for the bosses of this great, free and unconquerable country to be made to understand that there are discipline and duty for them as well as for the men in the ranks?

Probably most people have the notion that there are more "old maids" than
 ''old bachelors" in this country, and most people are wrong. It has been discovered by the government that these are the correct figures: 5,427, ,767 bachelors and 3,224,49 spinsters. We have long been taught to believe that Massachusetts is an especially unhappy hunting ground for spinsters, but the cold facts are that there are 226, ,0S5 bachelors in the State, while only 219,- 255 females are unattached" New York has 12O,Oo0 more bachelors than spinsters. and the only State, in fact, which has an excess of female celibates over male celibates is California, in which there are 9,456 of the former and 22, ,S29 of the latter. In Idaho there are 14,974 bachelors and only 1,412 spinsters:
 in Colorado, SS,44S unmarried males and 16, 100 unmarried females; in Wyoming. 16, ,1S3 bachelors and 1,4S7 maidens. In the State of Washington there are SC.- 537 forlorn single men, with only 9,IS1

In the golden parts are set the bright black foot of the fox, with the smoother and darker red of the leg above each black foot. Another robe is of pieces from the back of the "cross fox" so joined that they appear to be taken from some much larger an- imal. These are left the natural color a cold gray and yellowish brown, but set in bed of fur dyed chocolate color In still another garment the Chinaman has succeeded in creating what is ap- parently new animal. The robe, like all the others, is in the shape of a cross of five cubes Each of these squares appears to be the skin of single ami mai, dark puce color on the outer edges, with irregular circles of minute white dots in the center, increasing from an indistinct grayish brown on the outside to clear white in the inner circles. This apparently natural ornament might de- ceive any one who did not know the ac- tual colors and limits of all natural furs. On examining the back of this robe it is seen to be made up of minute pieces sewn together in concentric cir cles, the pieces being no larger than so commonly seen on hall floors. It is, in fact, piece of fur mosaic.

They are at work in other countries than this trying to find a substitute for rubber. In Germany a process devised consists of an oxidization of linseed oil and then adding to it prepared jute refuse or some substance of fbrous character and otherwise worthless. The resulting substance is said to possess many of the characteristics of genuine India rubber, and can be used for the manufacture of certain articles where the pure material has been previously employed. In France also substitute for rubber has recently been invented and has been named textiloid. It con- sists of resinoline and various admix- lures. The resoline is obtained by treating oil with three or four times its bulk of metallic carbonates and then with nitric acid. This is followed by saponification, precipitation by means of an acid, and dissolving in alcohol or ether. The mixture comprises one hun dred parts of resinoline, twenty of zinc, oxide of manganese, etc, and sixty parts of methylated spirits. After an inter val of several hours the mass is work ed and kneaded for an hour or more and them compressed while warm.

MT. John Steele, of Nebraska, Kan, familiarly known as Coal Oil John nie,'' is visiting the scenes of his form CT fame in Venango county, Pennsylva- mia. He says all the stories regarding his immense wealth, attained from oil and the free dissipation of his fortune are without foundation. That his total income in the earlier days of oils boom was royalty in the McClintock farm production. Mrs. McClintock, it's owner, had saved $60,000 from the roy- atty, and she left it to him. He invest ed the money in a business block in Meadville, leaving balance unpaid. Oil then dropped from s4 per barrel to fifty cents, he was unable to meet his obligations and turned the property over to other parties at great loss. MT. Steel says he was only nineteen years old when all the sensational stories were written about him, and he was a little lavish with his money, as boy would naturally be.

Experiments with sugar rations for soldiers were tried during the last Ger man manoeuvres. Ten men were sub jected to the sugar diet, while another ten received exactly the same rations as the rest of the army. The men chos- en for the special diet were weak cor poreal1y According to the official re- port, the weight of the sugar men in creased during the manoeuvres more than that of the men on the ordinary ration. Tt was proved that during long marches the feelings of hunger could be kept down for a longer time by the use of sugar, that the sugar peo- pie suffered less from thirst than the others, and that a few pieces of sugar sufHced to still thirst for considerable time. It was also observed that symp- toms of exhaustion or of sunstroke were quickly overcome by a small ration of sugar." The authorities now recom- mend that sugar be considered a regu- lar article of soldiers food, and that, above all, soldiers on the march should have a supply of it.
