Chicago, March 16.-The ease with
which the price of wheat keeps above
the dollar mark is great encourage
ment to those who have faith in
still higher range of value for this
cereal. To-day May wheat was quiet
but strongaround $1.O4, and it is now
the general opinion that so far as that
option is concerned the large holders
will not have much difficulty in main
tanning present values, or even better
I ones, in the Chicagom arket, although
whether they will be able to dispose
of the wheat that will undoubtedly be
transferred to them when contracts
now being made come due is a ques-
ton over which there is a decided
difference of opinion. It is argued
that the acreage of winter wheat is
larger than ever before, that the same
will be true of spring wheat, and con-
ditions at present are certainly favor
able to the growing crop. All this
will certainly have it's effect later on,
and that prices can be maintained
under such circumstances is seriously
questioned by many experts in the
trade.
May wheat, highest $1O4s; close,
$1O4. Oats, highest 26c; close 261c.

pins must be scattered along the public highway.
 : Some people have a passion for statistics lin popular form They delight to know how far the combined walking sticks of the world would reach toward the moon. And now German military critic has been add ing up the grand total of the continental armies and, after noting that we can form only a vague idea of what is meant by tens of millions, he tries to bring home in another way the colossal growth of mod ern ornaments. If, says he. we could have all the armies of the continent on g. war footing and drawn up in one long pro- cession, with their guns and ammunition and baggage wagons. the column would be rather more than 4,0O0 miles long and, marching day and night it would take nearly year to pass given point.
 It is interesting to others than statisti- clans to know that the hairs of our head are numbered. Certain scientific men have laboriously calculated the number of hairs on a square inch of heads of different col ors, and by estimating the total area cov- cred have arrived at aggregate numbers, which may be taken as fairly correct To show the well-intentioned accuracy of these calculations, head of fair hair consists of 14S.O00 hairs. Dark hair is coarser and only totals 105,000 while those who boast a poll of red must be content with total of 29,- 200. It is estimated that the hairs on flair head would support the weight of 300 people

The Police Force.
states.

In his report to the police commission last night the chief of police asks for more patrolmen. Provision for more men should be made. As it is at present, the police force of Birmingham is inefficient. Whether it is because of numbers or want of organization and a thoroughly qualified head remains to be seen. It IS due to the chief that his recommendation be adopted and that he be given full op- portunity to demonstrate his fitness for the responsible office he holds. The chief as well as citizens recognize that Birming- ham is not properly policed at present
 It is understood that the police con- mission is permitted to draft upon the city treasury for it's full needs. If this be correct, further delay is unnecessary.
 Adept the chiefs recommendation for more patrolmen and let the people have a police force which will put an end to frequent burglaries and preserve order in the city.

Train R0bberieS.

rbis country is a country of train rob- berries. Even in Mexico the crime is all most unknown. The law in that country declares train wrecking or robbery treas on. and the penalty is death. Only one attempt was made in Mexico last year to hold up A train. and that was unsuccess- full.
 In this country on the other hand, thir- tv messenger trains were held up last year--four of them in Texas, three each in Ohio and Missouri two each in Illinois. Oregon, Indiana, Alabama, New Mexico and Indian Territory. and one each in Ari- zona Tennessee, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, California, Minnesota and Vir- ginia. There were besides ten stage rob berries. In the last eight years 21S trains have been "held up,'' resulting in the death of seventy-eight persons, and the wounding of sixty-seven others. In near ly every case switches were turned, Instructions were placed on the track.
 Train robbers invariably attack the through" trains, which are supposed to carry in express cars great deal of mon- ey. No instance of an attack upon way or accommodation train occurred last year. It is therefore contended that train rob berries are crimes against interstate com merce The contention certainly has good deal of evidence behind it; and a considerable sentiment is springing up in favor of federal legislation on the sub- feet. As things stand many train rob- bers escape punishment. The sheriffs chase them perhaps to state line, and then they get breathing spell that ad- mits of their escape Says the Express Gazette:
 eff it were known that the strong arm of the federal government, through its magnificent secret service and through the inspiring influence of the respect and fear which the criminal classes have for the United States courts, is the power of action, there would be concluding chap ter to the story of the Crimes of the Rail- What is needed Is a law of con- gross which will extend to our country the same protecting power that the nation al government does now in the matter of supervision of national banks, and protec- ton to inventors under the laws of pat ent rights, as well the laws regarding the counterfeiting of money, and certain ly the protecting power of the govern ment that gave the people the interstate comrSerce law, to regulate the charges on freghS and passenger traffic, should be equally as potential in extending pro- lection to the lives of the engineer, the conductor the brakeman and the passen- gers on the railway train, as it now does with reference to the charges on dry goods box going from New York to Chi cago."
 A carefully prepared bill on the lines of the act for the regulation of interstate commerce ought not to encounter opposi- tion from any source. If federal quar- antine law be acceptable to the old-time

THOSE POOR MILlIoNAIREs.

From the Chicago News.
 The discovery that Senator James G. Fair of California was worth bare s12, ,228 ,99S 07 at the time of his death, as shown by the inventory of his estate, comes as a great shock to the public. even though 1t should have been prepared for such a revelation by long and unvarying experience. The fact is, that all millionaires are compara- lively poor
 Nobody put Senator Fair down for less than $30, 900 900, and the prevailing idea was that he was worth $50,000000. Yet the most dligent efforts of his executors result in finding only cents above SIP, ,99S. Jay Gould was said to be worth sl25 100000 and as matter of fact he had merely $70 GOO, ,00O. The late MT. Pullman was credited with possessing $20 Oo0 GOO, and he really had less than third of that sum. The list might be enlarged by the addition of nearly every millionaire whose estate has been inven- toried in the last twenty years.
 It matters not that MT. Gould's $70 coo or Senator Fairs $12. .22s ,99S or MT. Pullmans $6, 6,OO0 900 makes a fairly comfortable com- potency. The fact that man can scrape together barely SIP, 900 900 when he is popu- larly set down for s5O0O0,OOO must be pecu- llarly galling. It is always like reaching in

 The German emperor, the king of Saxs ony and Prince George of Saxony had won- derful sport during their shoot in the i@j al forests on the Dubrow lake, round Konigswutehausen, the party of eight guns having killed 218 roebucks, besides heavy bag of other game, in one day. The parry shot for only five and half hours, as an hour and a half was taken up with lunch- con, which was served in tent, every- thing being brought across the lake on steam launch which an hour earlier had conveyed the sportsmen to the scene of oD~ erations. The emperor and his guests dincd at the Schloss at o'clock and at they left by special train for Berlin.

DiscOurauinu Suicides.

The United States supreme court has de- cided that the heirs of sane man, who had committed suicide, cannot recover on a life policy taken out by the suicide upon his own life. This decision is far reach ing The tendency of Respondent men, after securing to those dependent upon them comfortable support, to commit suicide is a growing evil, and the adverse decision. of the highest court must result in healthy reform in that direction. The sole recourse of a man of limited means is in such a case life insurance policies. The payment of a single premium would give them full efficacy, and the intending suicide had but to put himself out of the world to complete the transaction for the benefit of his family.
 The court holds that such plans are against public policy. The. courts cannot be utilized in the execution of any such schemes. It was held by the court that to compel the payment of such policies would be to put premium upon self-de- struction. It would encourage men whose SOIe neSltdncy dS tO lIt ueeu SpflHSS IrOm the desire to provide for those near and dear to themselves If such men see that they can best provide for those dependent upon them through self-destruction, the number of suicides would surely be in- creased. The great court very properly refuses to be a participant in any such enterprises. It declares all such policies null and void, and future suicides will either have to shuttle off this mortal coil with all their proper responsibilities upon their consclences ,or try to raise the wind by some other plan. As there is no other known plan, the importance of the de- cision becomes manifest.
 It will be observed, however, that the decision does not cover policy taken out, for example. by the wife of an intend ing suicide, or by any other party. Very few suicides can, however, have accom- plices of this sort, The decision practi- cally, therfore, takes away the incentive that many suicides have heretofore had to what seemed in their morbid minds heroic self-sacrifice.
 The case arose over an effort of the exe- cutor of William N. Bunk to collect s75OOO from the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York. Bunk died owing many

The Strike in DinuIeydom.

The strike among the eastern cotton mills hls progressed far enough to alarm the re- publican politicians in those states. They foresee great political changes if the strike assumes large proportions, and a stubborn industrial war is inaugurated. The manu- faeturers are almost to a man republicans of the Dingley stripe, and the promises of the republican party in the presidential campaign as to universal prosperity, higher wages and busy mills will be recalled, and the dominant party will be held to it's proper responsibilities.
 The situation is very perplexlng to the eastern mill owners. They have, it is stated two million pieces of goods on and for which there is no demand at prices that afford any profit whatever. To make more goods is to make more losses. To cut wages is to invite a strike and bit- ter 'fcelings the part of employees and to give the southern mills a chance to oc- cupy the entire market. The southern mills are doing business at the old stands ligh along. and d. ing il, too, at good profit.
 Thct ,ns to be remedy in sight. The Springfield Republican reminds tire Boston Commercial Bulletin that running on short time would be intellectual. It shows that gluts in the market have be- come chronic. There was one in the mid summer of 1896, and the mills shut down cn, went on short time. There was another elut six months later, and a short-time D, oyra .mc wa, entered upon by the mills. Two months after they resumed full time another glut in the markets appeared, and now the market is glutted worse than yer boforc T',c Republican adds in con- clusion:
 Is this a rerlna lent condition of the in- dustry? Is half-employment the inevitable tondi.l .lon If )Ir cotton operatives through six or eight m t"s Of the year! IT so' then the sithation of the industry in New I.1 land is )rse ,han anyboG. has ventured to describe it. The mighty statesmen now in charge of affairs have no other than this hopeless theory of over production. They ignore the possibility indeed, the certainty-of abnormal under consumption and artifeially contracted markets. They cannot perceive the plain fact that the industry has outgrown the home market, and that their special lesis- lation designed to develop the home mar ket to the injury of our foreign markets can only hurt and cannot possibly help the cotton industry. That president who represents this idea should now be in the White House is woful anachronism.
 It should be remembered that the Spring. field Republican is not a democratic paper It goes into the homes of republicans in
 f1aA courage to stand up for its convictions, no matter who is hurt. It does not particu- larly admire Dingleyism.

CURIOUS ITEMS.

The question is often asked, What be- comes of all the pins?" Then one takes in- to consideration the fact that in one fac tory 37,OOO,00O pins are manufactured every working day, and the other factories turn out nearly 20,000OO0 every day, the subject becomes one likely to excite curiosity. This is in England alone. The number of pins made elsewhere brings the aggregate up to very high figure. It would seem
 that somebody must make business of losing pins. Anent this subject one might say that the average wheelman would give it as his opinion that large number of
